I make it a regular practice to engage in online and in-person debates on a variety of subjects. I have engaged in more than one discussion about the effects of gay people on families, on the effects of violence in video games on children, and abortion. All of these have been called child abuse or killing by their proponents. Most of the time, these people are not professionals in child development, they are not experts of any kind in those fields; just interested and concerned people. It occurs to me, though, that I have never engaged in a spirited debate about how to tackle actual child abuse by anyone who did not work in the system. We will talk about a plethora of pseudo-abuses topics worth our attention and discussion but when real lives are at stake, we shut our mouths, turn our heads, and change the subject.
When I realized how much attention I was giving to these hypersensitive, ill founded, PTA-mommy concerns, I was pretty ashamed of myself. I have worked for 15 years with actually abused children. Children with broken bones, punched-in faces, born addicted to meth, raped by their family, pregnant by their fathers, sent to live with their rapists, mothers pimping out their kids, foster kids human trafficked, all things the consequences and actions of which I have seen personally.
I decided to vent my frustrations on Facebook with this post; "I am often shocked at how little abused children matter to our society and how much pseudo-abuse (video game violence, hearing about gay families, seeing sex on TV) matters to people. It is disgusting."
Within a few minutes these comments were posted, "What do you mean by "hearing about gay families"?", and "So hearing about gay families is abuse? Seems to me like teaching prejudice is abuse." It continued on like that for a while. In there was a demand, "Please explain the gay families comment...".
Besides the obvious need to teach the American public the meaning of the word pseudo, they perfectly illustrated my problem with the way we treat the problem of child abuse. Given an opportunity to focus anywhere else, it will happen. Even if I had meant that hearing about gay people is abuse, it still should not have been the topic of discussion. A matter of the life and death of children should garner more attention in both casual conversation and political attention than matter of ignorance.
Why are we wasting our time on discussing if video games or talking about gay families hurts children? We know it doesn't. Why aren't we using our time to help these kids, to fund studies of the programs that serve them. There are hundreds of studies on video game violence, millions of dollars spent to study the effects of video games on children. Meanwhile, there are no large scale studies of foster care outcomes, very few properly controlled studies of long term effects of abuse, and no good research on how to treat child abuse victims; either as adults or children.
I suspect fear is the main reason why people do not discuss child abuse. They fear what abusive parents might do, they fear not being seen as cheerful, they fear being judged themselves, and they fear having no answer when asked.
Part of it may be that it is depressing to discuss child abuse. It is one of the most viscerally disturbing things any sane human has to consider. In our positivity based culture, discussing anything that cannot be given a positive spin is often seen as not only seen as sad, but downright distasteful.
Giving voice to abuse, especially specific cases, is often classified as being nosy or butting-in when it is none of the business of the person nosying. Sadly, this attitude creates a quiet culture of abuse, where children know everyone knows they are being abused and are doing nothing to protect them, thus validating the abuse.
The willingness to turn away may partially be based on the fact that we think this is all being taken care of by foster care agencies, that social workers are the best trained to serve this population. In essence, we have given away our responsibility to care for the children in our communities and children as a whole to the experts.
Which brings me to another potential hurdle; ignorance. Many people believe that social workers and other such workers are the best suited to care for an injured child and to assess an abusive situation. Unfortunately, this assertion has never been proven and the cases of social worker incompetence and neglect are so numerous that it is no longer even a reasonable assumption that social workers are best suited for intervention.
Social workers maneuver children through the system, many have no specialized training in child abuse, many have no special training to act as treatment professionals of abused children, and do not act as such in most cases. There are no large scale outcome measurements and most abuse studies are poorly controlled, so most of what social workers are trained in are unfounded assertions or examples of confirmation bias. Meaning that even if they had access to training, it would be a terrible foundation on which to make decisions of welfare. Worse, if one hundred social workers were polled, there would be two hundred inconsistent answers; some legally based and some ignorant of the laws. Which makes them as qualified as the general population to assess abuse, practically speaking.
Legal definitions leave a great deal to the discretion of a law enforcement agency. It seems that the general public is ignorant of what is legally considered abusive behavior and for good reason. The abuse statutes are unevenly enforced because most agencies who remove children or investigate abuse offer little oversight of the people making the determinations. This is true for police officers, social workers, and investigators. A parent may be cleared for abuse by one social worker and another parent in a similar situation would be assessed by another official as abusive. It is unheard of for a social services agency to offer the public a way to assess abuse and a way to know when to report abuses.
People are left to their own moral judgment when deciding how they define abuse, and when it is bad enough that they will intervene. Unfortunately, when people are faced with calling a child welfare department, many are faced with an terrible question; is foster care better?
That question has never been answered. It is my instinct to answer that it is better to have non-governmental intervention when possible.
Which brings me back to my initial issue: people will not intervene. They are unwilling to take direct action like exerting peer pressure on parents who are acting abusively, directly attempting to gain custody of an abused child by request and consent of the parent, refuse to give work to abusers, refuse to speak directly to the abusers, find help for the child, or any number of other direct actions possible. Even worse, the instincts that stop people from being unwilling to discuss the individual cases of abuse are the ones that stop someone from even discussing the problem in the abstract.
It is a self-perpetuating fear because as long as there is no conversation, abstract or individual, there will be no solutions or community solidarity when it comes to ending child abuse.
It is a shameful but I fear a true statement, that we are a nation of cowards when it comes to the topic of child abuse. We tremble when we even suspect we have heard whisper of abuse. Our knees knock when it becomes the topic of conversation. Entire populations get hysterical blindness when they are personally faced with a case of child abuse. We use euphemisms like molest, or tough life or bad parents or dysfunctional to placate our horror and self-disgust at our own inaction. We believe there should be child abuse laws to protect our children, but we use our own children as excuses for inaction, which perpetrates existing problems.
We ignore tools we can use because we are too busy evading abused children like they are emotional heat seeking missiles. To our social media we post inspirational quotes like "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." by Edmund Burke or "Character is easier kept than recovered." by Thomas Paine or Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "The time is always right to do what is right." or even Jesus "Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." We hope to inspire our children and our neighbors to do what is right. Then we tuck our tails between our legs and whimper as we run away from fulfilling our own opportunities to live what we try to invigorate in others.
I am left asking myself, Where are the people who actually believe any of those quotes?
Where are the men who believe violence against children is wrong and are willing to vocally, physically, abstractly, and specifically stand up against it? Why aren't they shaming the other men who beat their children and wives, have their children removed into foster care, or just refuse to participate in their lives? Why aren't they taking care of the abused children in their lives?
Where are the women who assume that it is the responsibility of the community to care for all the children? Where are the women willing to step in and council a struggling parent or to watch a child while the parent is in treatment?
Where are the libertarians? With all the talk of self reliance, where is the action to back it up? Why, if they believe we all need to be responsible for ourselves without government assistance, are they not shaming abusers, abandoners, beaters, and taking in the children of those whose parents are unsuitable to parent?
Why are we afraid to employ peer pressure? How many of us have seen a PTA meeting where the mothers employ peer pressure to get an unruly parent in line, or a parent screaming at a speeding car on a street where children play. We warn children to be aware of peer pressure because it works. Yet, we we turn into yellow-bellied humanity-draft dodgers when we might employ it for something more meaningful than the color of the school t-shirt.
When we do a personal assessment of our own character, can we live with a beating that could have been prevented by action? It is impossible to wash the shame of inaction away. It is a tattoo, a permanent identification marker of the person who did not act. No amount of soap, no loofah, no chemical peel can remove that ink from someone who allowed harm to a child out of their own hysterics. Nor should it. It is well earned.
Child abuse is depressing. It's scary. It hurts our hearts. Those feelings are our bodies hearing our conscience screaming at us, demanding action of us. The reason why it never goes away is because not enough action has been taken to make child abuse an aberrant occurrence. When it does, we might be able to assign the child abuse tasks to the government, but until then, it is up to us to act.
We act as wildebeests running from lions - willing to let someone else's children get eaten as long as we do not have to fear or face the lions. We should be more like muskoxen, who face wolves together, to protect everyone's offspring because everyone's offspring matters.

For Your Consideration: AListApart.com Redesign
Tim, Saturday, August 27th, 2005
One of my favorite resources for knowledge and inspiration in my never-ending pursuit to design the perfectly standards-compliant XHTML/CSS2 site,has just been redesigned. AListApart.com (ALA) 4.0, designed by Jason Santa Maria is a real showcase of, not just attractive, clean, design (which is a discussion for another time), but also of what's under the hood, and in the tank. In this regard, Jason had backup from Eric Meyer, who wrote the CSS and Dan Benjamin who designed the custom CMS (using Ruby On Rails).
So here's a question: Do you have to build your own CMS to get one that will deliver compliant, accessible code? I know that some CMS vendors have addressed accessibility concerns in their products (though not in the back-end), but are there any out there that were built from the ground up with a focus on producing clean and lean XHTML code? It's more than just forcing users of the CMS to add alt tags on the images they upload. It's serving pages that don't add 60KB of useless code to a page built from, what started out as, a fully compliant template.
With the code of a page playing such a huge part in accessibility, search engine optimization, load time, cross browser compatibility, reliability, flexibility, and ease of maintenance, it strikes me that this is an area in need of some attention.
Anyway…off my soapbox and back to ALA: There's a good (albeit short) interview with Jason on All That Malarkey, and some thoughts from Jeffrey Zeldman on the new design.
OT: As long as you're there, check out this article on PDF accessibility.

"Our next guest is one of the very few people to be nominated for an Academy Award before they were old enough to drive". Jimmy Kimmel is introducing Saoirse Ronan.
He's not lying. Ronan was nominated for the Best Supporting Actress role at the tender, almost unimaginable, age of 13.
For the actress, who was born in the Bronx and grew up in County Carlow, the nomination was the beginning of a career that would push her into the most blinding of Hollywood limelight. In the immediate future, her dulcet tones will be the voice of Tallia, the feisty and beautiful heroine of this animated tale.
And while the red-carpet premieres, the talk shows and the screaming fans have become an ever-increasing part of her life, home, Ireland, isn't going anywhere.
"The hair and make-up people decorated the trailer for me and they had a cake… I did have a pint of Guinness with my friends when I got back to Dublin, though."
In describing her birthday celebrations to the Independent, Ronan has unconsciously informed us how life for an Irish-based Hollywood star works. One moment it's hair and make-up crews and trailers, the next it's a pint of the black stuff in Dublin with mates.
The contradictions don't end there. The multi-million dollar movie sets and far-flung locations must, at times at least, seem a little far from Ireland's second tiniest county, Carlow, where she grew up.
This is a county where a single castle is 800 years old (Hollywood became a newly-established community in 1870) and another, Huntington Castle, home to the Temple of Isis, was built as a garrison for British soldiers in 1625.
But let's not pretend that Carlow isn't photogenic. Altamont Gardens is a perfectly packaged Secret Garden, particularly beautiful during snowdrop season. Just ask your friendly neighbourhood Galanthophile (Snowdrop enthusiast).
In the Blackstairs, shared with Wexford, you've got a russet mountain range that could rival the Mourne's for Narnia magic.
Think a friend might enjoy this article? Click to save and share
Like millions of emigrants and travelling workers before her, Ronan has found her appreciation for Ireland grow simply from being away. "I've found that while I've been away my accent gets strong,", she told Irish magazine RSVP. "I become more Irish. I become more patriotic."
Well, Ireland, and Carlow will do that to you. Grow up in a county where sites like Duckett's Grove are Sunday escapes or where a gentle curve of the River Barrow belongs only to you and your rod, and you'll find it easy to miss.
No matter where she is in the world, Ronan makes sure to give a little bit back home… She showed her appreciation of Ireland's delicious food revolution with a free performance on behalf of Origin Green, a leader in sustainable high quality food and drink production, as well as becoming a spokesperson for the ISPCC (the child protection charity in Ireland), amongst others.
Ronan's star is on the rise and shows little sign of stopping. And on a journey that will take her around the world, it must be nice to know that Carlow, in its wee glory, isn't going anywhere.
Ireland's second-smallest county is big on garden attractions. Plus, with the Blackstairs Mountains and the River Barrow,...

...but there is simply no such thing as a nature-nurture dichotomy [10*].
...many of the findings from research on sex differences in risk preferences can be explained by focussing on gender instead of sex [22*].
Hm..., if there is no nature-nurture dichotomy, what's about the difference between sex and gender?
Risk-taking and gender15.11.2010 | 11:44
Gender is, strictly, a grammatical concept, e.g. whether a French noun takes the article la or le. Then people started using it as a polite word for sex. Now you seem to be taking it as a socially influenced characteristic as opposed to, say, biochemically influenced. Is that correct? If so, I'd say there's a lot of "gender" in exploratory or risk-taking behaviors. Studies have shown (sorry I can't quote them, just read about them) that girls are called back while boys are allowed to explore, so that even young girls explore only about 5/6 of the area available to them. Just knowing that has made me more likely to deliberately go further when exploring, to counteract whatever training I had. I've seen parents playing sports with male toddlers while discouraging their older female children from getting involved by yelling to "watch out for the baby" every time they wound up to kick the ball (or whatever), and of course by always sending the ball to the boy. It wouldn't take much of that to give females the message that physical activity is not for them.
...more15.11.2010 | 11:47
I should have said, "physical activity and the risks associated with it are not for them."
In short, I agree with you.
Dichotomies22.11.2010 | 16:59
Thanks for your comment, Balanus
I understand why you made that comment (although I had hoped to deconstructed the popular misconception that nature=sex/nurture=gender already a bit in my previous blog posts - apparently that's all that people picked up from the scientific debate on sex/gender).
You may or may have not, however, noted that nowhere in my two blog postings, 'On sex and gender', I made any reference to either nature or nurture (since they can not be separated and since you can not simply equate sex with nature and gender with nurture).
I will certainly elaborate on this issue in a future blog post, but let me say the following for now. Consider the term 'sex difference'. This term is widely used to refer to biologically determined differences between males and females ('nature'), and contrasted with environmentally determined differences between males and females ('nurture'). Such a distinction is, however, inaccurate and useless. A sex difference (that is, a difference between men and women) is not necessary the consequence of biological differences between the sexes.
Gender22.11.2010 | 17:05
Mona Albano, thanks for your comment.
I think you understand it correctly. In my view, the most essential thing know (in order to properly understand what gender is about) is that gender is a process (not some essential property of our selves).

Nexy year, I would like to try growing my own pansies as I spent way to much on them this year and need to cut back.
I need some clear instructions and I have room to grow them inside during the summer or under our bright carport.
Should I save seed pods from this year? Do they come true to seed? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by transplanted2scin07 7b upstate SC (My Page) on Sun, Nov 15, 09 at 20:46
Yes, save seed pods but don't count on them all coming true. Some will, some won't. Just sprinkle the seeds outside now (or in January)and press them to the surface without covering them. Keep them moistened until you see the seedlings in 2-3 weeks. |
- Posted by bumblebeez z7b Seneca SC (My Page) on Sun, Nov 15, 09 at 21:33
Thanks transplanted, but what I want to know is how to have pansies that look like I bought them (big, lush, blooming) for next fall. Obviously I'm asking a good 9 months or so ahead of time but I'm just wondering and deeply interested if I should be seed saving. |
- Posted by butterfly4u 8 (My Page) on Mon, Nov 16, 09 at 0:51
Pansies reseed themselves. I had baby pansies growing up in my lawn outside of the beds this summer. Just plant the seeds, take care of them, and they will grow all year for you, constantly reseeding themselves. Pansies are a beautiful thing. So is mulch. Good Luck! |
- Posted by bumblebeez z7b Seneca SC (My Page) on Mon, Nov 16, 09 at 9:45
Thanks butterfly. I do get some reseeding but not much because I heavily mulch. I plant about 10-15 flats of pansies or more each year so I do need quite a bit. I was wondering if anyone knew how long it takes from seed to get a bedding plant size, and if it is too hot to grow them outside (it would be summer), what kind of seeds I should buy, etc. |
- Posted by trianglejohn z7b NC (email@example.com) on Mon, Nov 16, 09 at 10:16
I've done it before, but it was years ago. I found the Viola's easier and better blooming in my yard. There are some with flowers similar to and of the same size as pansies. For fall bloom it took many many months and mine didn't start blooming until mid winter (months after they showed up in the stores). In the end mine looked just like the store bought ones but they took about 6 months of work - though not hard work. I think the seeds sprout when temps are warm (I'm guessing it is the universal 70 degrees that most seeds require) but the plants stay small while the summer is hot. They don't size up until things cool down. I did not move mine inside for cooler weather. Other heat sensitive plants that I have succeeded with required me to move the flats under the house into the crawl space for cool nights and then back outside each morning for sunshine (and heat). It seems that a lot of plants have a threshold of hours of high heat that affects them. It is not just the daytime high temps but the number of hours spent above a certain temperature. If you can cool them down at night you can grow a lot of heat sensitive plants. Under my house stayed moist and around 70 degrees. It is why I can raise Delphiniums, Rhubarb, Artichokes and Wasabi. It can be a lot of work, so I tend to cycle my crops rather than try to grow everything each year. |

Thank you and very interesting. I will try to to find more specific info. I am thinking I can grow them in flats in a shady but bright area outside from April until October. Perhaps start them inside in early March and move outside when it warms up. |

Bumblebeez, If you insist on growing them inside first, start them now. Then put them out next March when it starts to warm up more during the day. Pansies are cold weather plants, they will not die or stop growing because it is cold. Come May, pansies slow down big time, seed themselves, and some die over the next 3 really hot months. THen in September, they start to come to life again. The seedlings start to grow right in the beds they sprout from. DOn't mulch as thick if you aren't getting babies in your beds. I love pansies too. I have them out front all winter. It's so nice to see their cute little faces blooming when it's the middle of winter. Good Luck to you and let us know how it worked for you. |

trianglejohn, regarding the delphiniums; did you ever plant them in the ground or were they in pots? I would like to grow some but haven't attempted. |

bumblebeez - I start them in flats and then move them outside when they get at least their first set of true leaves. The hardest part is that they are notorious for having low germination. They say that you need fresh seed but I've had worse success growing from seeds I collected from my plants. There appears to be no rhyme or reason as to which seed is going to sprout. Sometimes I have great success from cheap last years seed I buy at Walmart and other times I have great success from high end garden center seed packets. You just have to sow a lot of seeds and if worse comes to worse - buy seedlings. For the tallest flower spikes you really need to sow the seeds in late July or early August, transplant outside in very rich soil in October, grow them all winter long - they'll bloom with 5-6 foot spikes by June or July. Seedlings from spring sowing will only be 2 to 3 feet tall. The plants are tough and can take anything winter does. I often protect them with row cover but it is more for wind protection then cold. The leaves will sometimes dry out on windy winter storms. The rule is to have the biggest plants you can grow by late spring when they start shooting up their bloom spikes. The best seedlings I have ever bought were at a garden center in Charleston SC. |

Pansies need darkness to germinate. When I grew them I would start them inside in July in flats sealed in brown paper. After about a week I'd remove the paper and the majority of my seeds had germinated. Then I'd grow them on to transplanting size and plant them around October. They would bloom most of the winter and into the following spring. |

Have any of you used or heard of Cuisistock or Cuisirama kitchens from French Canada (Quebec)? Our possible kitchen designer suggested these cabinets as a way to customize some of what we want without paying for a higher end manufacturer. This kitchen store has Kemper (which I like except we want a flat panel design and Kemper has more raised panel; and Kemper doesn't have a lot of cream colored finishes, so that's the hurdle with Kemper since I want a lovely offwhite, whitish cream, not too white or yellow and Kemper's finishes are gorgeous but its real wood whites not so much) and QCCI (custom - Quality Custom Cabinets Inc.) and Signature (custom), so Cuisirama/Cuisistock apparently is not much more than Kemper but more customizable. But I can't find anything out there about them. Here's a link to their website, thanks for any feedback - http://www.cuisirama.qc.ca/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=11&Itemid=11&lang=en |

there are tutorials around this very site that tell you what you need to do to run a MS pro, basically the only differance is the form factor. its not very pretty because it hangs out of the psp but its not horrably ugly either, very possably worth the uglyness to have a 4GB stick.
just look for the tutorial in the pinned topics under this psp forum and you should find it.
i know where it is but its good to learn to look for things like this on your own.
i saw those 4GB sticks on ebay for around $300-350 about the same price as the 2GB duo sticks.

Why I am I going to Guatemala? My reasoning is this:
- I hardly remember any Spanish from my high school days, but the Duke foreign language requirement forces me to take either three semesters of a single language, or one "100-level" (i.e. fifth semester level or higher) course. The latter option will be much easier on my schedule, and Spanish 105, "Spanish for Oral Communication," is the most practical choice of class. Before starting the course, I need to drastically improve my Spanish skills.
- The best way to become proficient in a language is intense immersion combined with ample one-on-one tutoring.
- Guatemala enables me to achieve both at an incredibly low price. The cost per week of both extensive tutoring and living accommodations is no higher than my cost of living in Durham. The real cost of the trip, therefore, is the price of the plane ticket -- which, while not exactly cheap, isn't that much higher than the price of a ticket back home to Oregon.
No doubt someone will claim that by choosing Guatemala for its extraordinarily cheap prices, I am somehow "exploiting" the poverty of the country. This is a good opportunity for me to say that I find such objections ludicrous. Yes, I am paying much less for tutoring than I would in America, or in a comparatively wealthy Spanish-speaking country like Spain or Costa Rica, but I am still paying a much, much higher wage than the typical Guatemalan receives. At market exchange rates, Guatemala's GDP per capita is about $2500, and due to the country's extreme inequality (with a Gini coefficient of 55), the median yearly income is far lower.
While my tutoring experience in Guatemala will be cheap by American standards, it will still provide a large and unambiguous benefit to those receiving the money.
On a more personal note, my internet use will be close to zero over the next few weeks. If I don't reply to your email, it's because I can't!

I like the irony in this… after my mention yesterday of pushing html around for almost a decade, I hit an obstacle laying out a footer in the new world of Table-free markup. I wrote and manipulated a pile of javascript and css to try and push a footer down beneath two "float:left" divs … if you're familiar with the Float property, it has a strange way of causing its parent to stop inheriting its contents height and width … the purpose of float:left (or right) is to allow following (or previous in the case of right float) content to wrap around it (similar to when you align-left an image inside a paragraph). This is useful when you're creating columns of content. The annoyance comes in when you'd like that "next" piece of content to stop wrapping up around the floated element. This is where the "clear float" css class comes in. After spending probably 2+ hours going around and around with trying to layout my footer, it was a simple css style, "clear:left" that did the trick I was looking for. I had seen the 'clear' property forever, but it never clicked for me. I haven't been using the 'float' property very long either, so that may be why I was unfamiliar with its powerful counterpart … in essence the "clear" property breaks the chain of the float property to rather start its own new line.

DeskPets RC Tank Controlled by iPhone
I think one of the coolest gadgets that has ever launched to go along with the iPhone is the AR.Drone flying machine. That thing is really cool, but so expensive that I will never buy one. If you like the idea of controlling a RC vehicle with your iPhone or iPad, DeskPets has a cool toy for you.
DeskPets is the company behind those cool Skitterbots I talked about before. The new iPhone-controlled toy is a tank called the TankBot. You can steer the bot by tilting your iPhone. TankBot also has sensors that allow him to navigate obstacles on his own and it can respond to hand movements too.
Selling for about $20 (USD), this toy isn't crazy expensive like the AR.Drone either. DeskPets will show the new toy off for the first time at the New York Toy Fair in February. It will come in black, blue, green, and orange colors and in multiple frequencies to allow several to play at once. The TankBot lands this Summer in stores around the country.

Ulcer, Duodenal: Symptoms
A peptic ulcer is a sore in the lining of the stomach or the first part of the small intestine. This area of the small intestine is called the duodenum. Peptic ulcers may be named by their location:
- Gastric ulcers are in the stomach
- Duodenal ulcers are in the duodenum
Treatment may include antibiotics, medications that heal the ulcer and protect the stomach, and lifestyle changes. Surgery may be needed for ulcers that bleed, obstruct, perforate, or don't heal with other treatments.
Gastric Ulcer
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Upsets in the balance of stomach acid and digestive juices can lead to an ulcer. This can be caused by:
- Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori) infection
- Use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
Less common causes include:
- Zollinger-Ellison syndrome
- Radiation therapy
- Bacterial or viral infections
- Alcohol abuse
- Tumors
- Other medicines such as steroids or medicines to treat osteoporosis
- Severe stress such as surgery, trauma, head injury, shock, orburns

Most often when a plant wilts ASAP and the foliage is still green the culprit is a disease called Bacterial Wilt. There is an easy way to diagnose it if you still have stems of the plant that are alive. Just Google Tomato Bacterial Wilt and read about taking a piece of the stem and placing it in a glass of water and looking for the streaming of bacteria as seen by a milky cloud. That's my best guess and I'm sure that others might have other suggestions. Carolyn |
Yesterday it was still green, but leaves rolled. Today it is all brown and I just took all the green fruit off. Boy, I hate to lose that plant. It was going great guns. |

What Is Ear Candling And What Are Its Benefits?
Ear candling is a practice commonly conducted by doctors who focus on practicing alternative medicine. Ear candling, which is also called ear coning, is not a new procedure by any means; ancient cultures including the Egyptians seem to have practiced ear candling. Its proponents perform ear candling in order to remove wax, fungus, and other materials from inside the ear canals.
Specially designed beeswax candles are used during ear candling procedures. The candles are usually between 9 and 12 inches long and are burned for about 10 minutes each during a normal session. A round plate with a hole in the middle is typically used for ear candling so that the candle can sit inside the ear but wax and fungus leaving the ear is trapped on the plate. As the candle burns, smoke creates a weak vacuum that pulls debris out of the ear canal.
People who have suffered an ear injury in the past can benefit from ear candling since they tend to have greater build ups of fungus and wax than the average person. A person who wears hearing aids will also have excessive wax in their ears and can be helped by means of ear candling.
Ear candling is performed in spas and alternative doctors' offices. When done in a local spa, a session will usually last between 30 and 60 minutes and will cost $40 to $80. Some people are concerned about dangers from wax dripping into the ears, but ear candling is safe when performed by an experienced professional. While some researchers have raised concerns about the practice, many patients and professionals continue to advocate the benefits of ear candling.

Apple fans come out for iPhone 5 launch
By KELVIN CHAN AP Business Writer September 21, 2012 11:57AM
People line up for the debut of the iPhone 5 outside the AT&T store Friday, Sept. 21, 2012, at 297 S. Weber Rd. in Romeoville. | Matthew Grotto~Sun-Times Media
Updated: September 21, 2012 3:41PM
Apple fans in the south suburbs joined with their counterparts around the world Friday in lining up early at stores to buy the new iPhone 5.
Long lines were found at the AT&T store at 297 S. Weber Road in Romeoville on Sept. 21. Likewise, fans were lined up early at the Apple Store at 528 Orland Square Drive inside Orland Square Mall in Orland Park,
Clapping, cheering Apple store employees on Friday morning welcomed customers, some of who waited in line for days for the new smartphone as soon as the Michigan Avenue store opened.
"I felt like Lebron James and Kobe Bryant," said Julian Diggs, the first customer in the door. Diggs, 23, of Wicker Park, started camping out on Michigan Avenue at around 3:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Before the store at 679 N. Michigan opened at 8 a.m., the line snaked down Michigan, around the corner, down Huron and across St. Clair.
But some of the first customers to get the new iPhone didn't spend hours in line — they paid someone else to do it.
In New York, several hundred people lined up outside Apple's 5th Avenue store. Jimmy Peralta, a 30-year-old business management student, waited three hours before getting the chance to buy his new gadget. Was it worth the wait?
"Definitely," he said, noting that the new phone's larger screen and lighter weight compelled him to upgrade from the iPhone 4. "A little treat for me on a Friday morning, why not. Why not be part of something fantastic? It's just such a smart phone it does all the thinking for you, you can't get any easier than that."
Catheryne Caveed, 23, was in line at a Verizon store in the Queens borough of New York. An iPhone 4 user, she had no regrets about skipping last year's model, the iPhone 4S. The only real upgrade in the 4S, she said, was Siri, the voice-controlled "personal assistant."
"The 4S looked the same as the 4," Caveed said. With the 5, "everything is different — even the headphones."
Apple's stock was up less than one percent, or $5.61, to $704.23 in late morning trading.
Earlier, in London, some shoppers had camped out for a week in a queue that snaked around the block. In Hong Kong, the first customers were greeted by staff cheering, clapping, chanting "iPhone 5! iPhone 5!" and high-fiving them as they were escorted one-by-one through the front door.
The smartphone will launch in 22 more countries a week later. The iPhone 5 is thinner, lighter, has a taller screen, faster processor, updated software and can work on faster "fourth generation" mobile networks.
The handset has become a hot seller despite a new map app that early users have deemed inferior to Google Maps, the software it replaces. Apple received 2 million orders in the first 24 hours of announcing its release date, more than twice the number for the iPhone 4S in the same period when that phone launched a year ago.
Analysts have estimated Apple will ship as many as 10 million of the new iPhones by the end of September.
Hidetoshi Nakamura, a 25-year-old auto engineer, said he's an Apple fan because it's an innovator.
"I love Apple," he said, standing near the end of a two-block-long line, reading a book and listening to music on his iPod.
"It's only the iPhone for me."

Yorkshire Second XI completed a late Championship win against Leicestershire at Market Harborough CC despite good performances from James Sykes and Tom Wells.
The visitors resumed day three on 358-3 from 109 overs and were looking for quick runs so they could give themselves time at having a go at bowling Leicestershire out.
They progressed to 480 all out from 140.3 overs with Will Rhodes making 126, his hundred coming from 165 balls (15x4). He was ably supported by Jack Leaning, who made an accomplished 78.
County picked up wickets steadily through the morning with Sykes picking up 4-41 from nine overs today. Sykes bowled a marathon 40 overs in the innings returning figures of 40-8-131-4. Rob Taylor (20-3-78-2) picked up two wickets today and Ben Raine weighed in with 1-20 off 7.3 overs.
Yorkshire were finally all out for 480 off of 140.3 overs at 1.57pm. This left County 144 in arrears and having to face a minimum of 62 overs. Although Wells stood firm, the visiting attack managed to pick up regular wickets.
The innings got off to a disastrous start with openers Michael Thornely (0) and Harry Bush (0) back in the hutch after 2.1 overs. Josh Cobb and Ben Raine then occupied the crease against the new ball.
However Raine (4) was run out by a direct hit from Dan Hodgson when going for a quick single and Cobb (6) followed after facing 38 balls. The score was now 32-4.
Tom Wells and Sunny Patel took the score onto 69 before Patel was run out by the alert Leaning. This left County on 69-5 with a minimum of 38 overs remaining. Wells, meanwhile, blocked par excellence and also found the ropes on occasions.
Steve Bullen (4, 29b) supported Wells with a notable rearguard action until he gave spinner Karl Carver a return catch. Angus Robson (0) batted at number 8 through illness but went caught in the slips by Rhodes off spinner Gurman Randhawa having held out for 23 balls.
With the final hour approaching Anthony Ireland joined Wells and the pair ate up a further ten overs until Wells' innings finally came to an end when he was trapped lbw by Leaning. Wells made a very patient and responsible 52, his 50 including seven fours and coming from 127 balls. He faced 148 deliveries in total.
Ireland (8) followed soon after but had occupied the crease for 52 balls. Last pair Sykes and Alex Wyatt were faced with a possible 22 minutes batting to salvage a draw but Wyatt was leg-before to Randhawa with 14 minutes play remaining as Yorkshire had rattled through their 16 overs within the last hour. Sykes was left on 2*.
Yorkshire bowling figures were: Coad 5-2-4-1, Shaw 7-1-15-1, Gibson (R) 8-2-23-1, Fisher 5-0-21-0, Randhawa 21.4-12-20-3, Carver 10-8-5-1, Leaning 6-4-2-1. Yorkshire won by an innings and 39 runs and took 24 points to Leicestershire's 5 points.
We have enjoyed three days splendid hospitality from the volunteers of Market Harborough CC, and special thanks must go to Jan and Christine for their excellent catering skills, along with their 'nothing was too much trouble attitude', and Colin for all his hard work behind the scenes.

The National Watermelon Association, in Lakeland, Fla., has been helping fund research into the benefits and limitations of grafting, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture also is vigorously pursuing the topic.
As the availability of fumigants diminishes and soilborne pests continue to spread, experts predict that grafting will become increasingly commonplace in U.S. vegetable and melon fields in the coming years.
The trend will follow orange groves, where hardy rootstocks have kept the multibillion dollar citrus industry thriving for decades.

I had to post my success story here. Last Easter I got the stereotypical tin-foil wrapped hydrangea. It was beautiful and we enjoyed it while it bloomed inside. Fairly soon after getting it, I repotted into a larger pot with some potting soil. I left it inside until I thought it was warm enough to be put outside (I'm in zone 5). I kept it outside all summer and until leaves started to fall off last fall. When it started to get really cool and the leaves had mostly fallen off, I put it in my unheated garage. I think this was maybe mid to late November. I left it in the garage until about mid-January. During that time I probably watered it 3 or 4 times. When I took it inside I started to water it more. Now inside it gets indirect sunlight most of the time and occasionally I put it in a south window for some bright direct sun. It's leafing out very nicely and has lots of blooms coming. I read lots about how to save this type of hydrangea and much of what I read said that it was difficult and probably wouldn't work. I wanted to post my story to provide hope to anyone who might want to give it a try. Good luck. |

Hi folks. Can anyone help me to identify this plant? Picked it up for dirt cheap at Home Depot today. Marked simply as a tropical.
Plant consists of several cuttings thrown together into this pot. It looks like it would take well to pruning and branching out, and therefore make good raw material to become a bonsai. Sorry�photos don't show the lower branches well, but they look like they would become woody over time kind of like a Hedera Ivy. |

I may be completely wrong, but at first glance, it looks like a lipstick plant which is actually a hanging plant. Others will soon chime in to confirm or correct the id. Nancy |

Bryan, I would think that bonsai plants are usually selected for their central-trunkedness, if you will. |
- Posted by bryanscott none (My Page) on Tue, Sep 11, 12 at 20:10
Right, right, but my plan is to separate all these cuttings (there are many in there) and plant them as individuals. They look like they will come apart very easily. Then, with some heavy pruning, I think the stems will harden. Well, that, actually I'm unsure of. But like I said before they feel a lot like Hedera Ivy so I think there's a good chance they will. |
- Posted by pirate_girl Zone7 NYC (My Page) on Tue, Sep 11, 12 at 21:39
Hi, If this is a Lipstick plant (which it may well be), it may harden as you suggest but I doubt its stems will thicken up as a bonsai might. I don't think that's the growth habit of this plant, sorry. Also I think single stems of this will look spindly & sad, that's my two cents. You did ask. |
- Posted by brodyjames 5 (My Page) on Tue, Sep 11, 12 at 22:41
May I suggest a jade plant? It's an oldie but a goodie and perfect for practicing your skills on. The limbs you remove can be rooted to produce more plants to practice on until you perfect your technique! Nancy |
- Posted by bryanscott none (My Page) on Tue, Sep 11, 12 at 22:53
Thanks all. I've got a bunch of young jades, as well as several other more obvious bonsai candidates: ficus, schefflera, hedera ivy, olive, Australian mint bush (although the one I have did not respond well at all to root pruning and seems to have collapsed) and a juniper. The little guy in question was just a cheap hardware store pickup that I thought might have potential. If not, it's not a big deal at all. Will still make an interesting addition to my collection. Cheers. |
- Posted by brodyjames 5 (My Page) on Wed, Sep 12, 12 at 3:39
Good luck and have fun! Nancy |
This looks like a lipstick (Aeschynanthus) to me. I grow several varieties and this is likely a variety of A. radicans. Even with pruning and time their stems always remain quite thin. They are tropical vining epiphytes and cannot easily support their weight vertically. They are nice plants, especially when in bloom. Keep in mind that they can become rather large though. Mark |

Two MPs have welcomed a decision not to introduce car parking charges in five mid-Norfolk towns.
A Breckland Council feasibility study into fees at its car parks in Dereham, Thetford, Swaffham, Watton and Attleborough had concluded it could have made a profit of up to £828,000.
The study itself cost £14,000 in internal staff costs.
Council leader William Nunn yesterday announced that concerns raised by local residents and fears about the impact on the economies of the market towns prompted councillors not to go ahead.
South West Norfolk MP Elizabeth Truss tweeted: "Good news as free parking continues in Thetford and Swaffham. Do pass Go, do not pay 200 pounds. (Poetic license)".
Meanwhile Mid Norfolk MP George Freeman tweeted: "Well done Breckland Council for listening to local views and NOT instigating parking charges on fragile rural town centres. #realleadership"
The Labour party in Breckland last year launched a petition against the possible introduction of parking fees.
Terry Jermy, who leads the Labour group on the council, said: "I am delighted with the news regarding car parking charges. This is something the Breckland Labour group fought very strongly for as this would have a massive detrimental effect on our towns.
"It is disappointing that so much money and time was wasted on such an ill-conceived idea."

Pity North Norfolk District Council could not take notice of this, as they have been ripping us off with car parking charges for years
Sunday, February 3, 2013
An "ill conceived idea" - do you hear that North Norfolk District Council? Your car park fees have strangled the economic life out of the towns in your district. How about listening for once and abolishing the charges in all of your car parks too. If Breckland DC can see sense do without them, so can you.
Saturday, February 2, 2013
Latest article in this series reveals collusion between tories in local and central government to cheat the electorate of the chance to have their say on this unjustifiable increase, sneaked in on the back of a promise to keep free car parking. Real leadership, Freeman? Really full of ##it more like.
Sunday, February 3, 2013
Great that, more electioneering, and those 14% without a car subsidise the car parks.
Sunday, February 3, 2013
Roll on the local referendum and we'll see how many people actually want to pay an extra 7.8% in council tax then.
Saturday, February 2, 2013
Now lets start making savings. Stop the self promotion and sending out that newsletter that goes straight into the recycle bin. Lighting levels are far too high in council offices and turn the heating down, all the staff are in light weight clothing. So much more can and must be done.
Saturday, February 2, 2013
Johnny, I presume you're not referring to the Swaffham Newsletter which is not only independent (like most initiatives in Swaffham - the main function of the council seems to be to interfere!) but informative to boot.
Sunday, February 3, 2013
Spare me the back-slapping. Townsfolk and businesses subsidised at the expense of the wider electorate. A 7.8% increase, how is this possible when Eric Pickles has supposedly placed a 2% cap on council tax increases?
Saturday, February 2, 2013
And what do these two think of the proposed 7.8 increase in Council Tax that Breckland are proposing?

This is my fave concealer but it is so hard to find since I think it may be phased out. I love everything about this, its high pigment content, it moisture content and its staying power. Its low maintenance, easy to use, layers well, can be used for touch ups, doesn't transfer and doesn't settle into fine lines. I highly recommend. Its better than Estee lauder double stay concealer which is too drying. It has some body to it and isn't too thin.

Wow. Okay. I was in Sephora looking for the Dior hydrating concealer and I figured I would ask the lovely girl working there (from Dior, not Sephora. There was some event going on) what her opinions are. She told me that the Sculpt concealer has more coverage and she preferred it. I was over taken by my concealer collecting habits and ended up picking up both.
But my oh my, I was throughly surprised by this concealer! In comparison to the hydrating concealer (I sit here written this review with one on each eye), it is thicker in texture. I found it not easy to work with, probably because I wasn't used to it. I ended up dotting the concealer on and patting it in with my ring finger. I found that I used one layer over everything then an additional (lighter) layer over the really dark spots. It covers more than the hydrating concealer (same, 1.5 layers). I don't even know how to put my thoughts into words. I am thrilled about this concealer and it might even rival my HG Marc Jacobs concealer. The more I use my Dior concealers and my Marc Jacobs one, the more I dislike Laura Mercier's and Bobbi Brown's. I fell like this concealer covers way better than LM's and actually sets and It's a similar coverage to BB's without the thickness.
Edit: I still like my Marc Jacobs concealer better... but this is a close second. New favourite thing to do... Dior Nude concealer on the general area, then Sculpt Lifting Smoothing Concealer just on the darker spots.

For a start, this won't "lift" anything anywhere.Load of nonsense from any skincare product.This is an average concealer.I had it in no 2 medium and it was very yellow.If you can get a colour match it might be ok,but as there are only 3,and the shades aren't great this might be hard. This offers quite good coverage, but really.there are far better concealers at a fraction of the price.Wouldn't be my first choice from someone who has tried numerous concealers.

I think everything about this product is average. It has medium coverage, and yes, it is a 'lifting concealer' so it does work well for areas like under my eyes, but I would not recommend you to buy it if you are intending to use this concealer to conceal dark spots/acne/blemish marks/etc, because it is not meant to do that. It is OK at concealer flat dark marks, but it has no effect of bumps or elevated or super red blemishes. This concealer is for people who already have relatively smooth/blemish free skin, and only want to conceal dark circles and fine wrinkles and such. For people with oily acne prone skin like me, this concealer isn't the best choice.

I find this to be a good coverage under-eye concealer. It provides a reasonable creamy opaque coverage. I am NC15-20 and use the colour Ivory. I find this a little bit too light so next time I will buy the shade up.

As you can see, I don't write many reviews. I tried this product because of the outstanding reviews it received on this site. I really really wanted to love this because I spent a small fortune for it's size. My skin is usually NOT sensitive. Unfortunately, it made the skin under my eyes so dry that the skin started to flake. Thinking it was too strong for the eyes, I started to use it on my T zone only to notice dry flaky skin where I had applied the product. This stuff detests my skin and it was a HUGE waste of money for me.

I love this, cant live with out it. I have tried every concealer under the sun and must say this is my absolute HG. It lasts a long time and I do like the easy application with the wand. Such good colours and does not crease in the lines. Def worth purchasing and every penny!

I've always had such a difficult time finding a concealer with the right color, consistency, packaging, and price-point. I never even thought to try this concealer b/c it's expensive and only comes in 3 colors, so I figured the chances of finding a color match was impossible, but a friendly SA tried it on me and I was quite impressed. I primarily use it to cover up brown spots, hyperpigmentation, and scars, and the color (002 Beige) is pretty spot-on. I wish the consistency was a bit thicker for my purposes (b/c I find it fades slightly by the end of the day) but at least it's not liquidy. The concealer is packaged in a chic rectangular tube, with a doe-foot applicator attached to the cap (although I wish it came in a tube). I paid $35 for 0.20 oz which is crazy expensive, but I only use a tiny bit every morning, so I'm sure it'll last me at least a year. So far, so good! :)

This concealer is packaged with a doe foot applicator, making it super quick and easy to apply. It's easily to blend (I usually use my finger or sephora's airbrush concealer brush) and can be used for either under the eye or to cover blemishes. The coverage is medium. It only comes in three colors (I am a NW15 and the lightest shade works for me), so it would be difficult to get a perfect shade match. Overall, this is the best multi-purpose concealer I've used to date (the others being Laura Mercier concealer and Dior skinflash)

This is the best concealer I've ever used. It really does conceal dark circles and it brightens. It blends so easily with just a few taps from my ring finger. It lasts all day and it doesn't crease! AND it hasn't caused milia under my eyes. I'm NC35 and I use the color honey. Its very peachy toned which makes it great for undereye cirlces.
It comes in a tube with a doe foot applicator like a lipgloss which I feel helps control how much product comes out so that you don't waste any product.
Unfortunately for many people, this product only comes in 3 colors that I know of and the color that I use is the darkest shade.
