This is from a kit. I know i am still a newbie but this kit I did before my first all grain brew. Anyway the problem I have is my starting OG was 1.055 and my FG should be between 1.020-1.024. Mine is stuck at 1.030 I have tested on Sunday and Today still no change. I want to rack it to a secondary carboy. Should I wait a couple more days or rack it? It's been 10 days as of today. Temp of the brew is between 63 - 64F as of now. Will the FG come down some if I rack it to a secondary? The kit instructions says to rack it to a secondary before it completes. Those kit instructions I know there not what they claim to be.
Sounds like the yeast is slowing down due to the lower temps. My recommendation is to keep it in the primary, and move it to a warmer location (68 - 72 degrees) you might even jostle it a bit to get some yeast back in suspension... but warming it should re-activate the yeast and finish off just fine in a week or two. As for secondary... its a stout, no need to secondary it, just leave it in primary and check the gravity ever 2 - 3 days till you reach your target FG and then bottle. Good luck!
Will do thanks for the input
Was this a Brewers Best Milk Stout kit? I have the exact same scenario! Started out @ 1.055 with temp @ 64 deg F. Went down to 1.030 within a week and stuck there. I moved primary to 68 deg room and added another pack of Nottingham dry yeast. Nothing. It's been 3 weeks now and I'm not sure what to do at this point?
I'm actually thinking of dumping a 2 qt slury of active yeast that I propagated from a bottle of Victory Helios Farmhouse Ale just for the hell of it. Farmhouse Milk Stout anyone?
Bring the beer to warmer temps. 68-70*, and then rouse the yeast back into suspension(swirling or rocking the fermenter). Worst case scearnio, pick up a $1.99 pack of nottingham, and pitch that in.
Im having the same problem with a brewers best Oatmeal Stout kit. OG was 1.052, waited 10 days and im stuck at 1.030. I transferred to secondary and added a package of coopers dry yeast, got no change in gravity. Then just for the hell of it, I added some dissolved granulated sugar to see if my yeast were still active and sure enough, they are due to the day and a half bubbling I got out of the airlock. I dont think I have enough yeast cells left to finish this fermentation, so I am gonna try a yeast nutrient and see if that does the trick. If not, I am bottling and turning my low gravity stout into a breakfast beer, it will be a 2.8 % ABV. Will probably go good with my morning capotain crunch berries...haha...keep me posted on how your is doing.
You are correct this Brewers Best Milk Stout kit. I checked mine today it only dropped to 1.028. I'm doing a milk oatmeal stout (all grain)as well which i just racked into a secondary (just to clear it up). So i thought i would add what's left of the milk oatmeal stout to the milk stout since the yeast is still active and will see if that is enough to lower it. If not i guess just bottle it. I'm going to let it go for another week see what happens. I think I had enough of kits, although I have one left, English bitter, Then it's all grain for me which seems to work very well for me. I keep ya updated.
My milk stout got stuck also (all grain). I would taste it before doing too much more. Mine is great right now with the extra sweetness left in and seems to have a nice heavy body, but still finishes quite clean. You might like what you have now better than drying it out more.
Mine does taste pretty good but still has bubbles so I am afraid to bottle it and make bombs. Not sure if you can bottle it when it has bubbles in the primary.

Special Agent Indicted for Possession & Receipt of Child Pornography
Tampa - United States Attorney Robert E. O'Neill announces that James Charles Cafferty (45, Largo) was indicted on October 19, 2011 for possession and receipt of child pornography. Cafferty faces a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in federal prison on the charge involving the receipt of child pornography, and up to ten years in federal prison on the possession of child pornography charge. At the time of his arrest, Cafferty was a Special Agent in Diplomatic Security with the Department of State.
This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, State Department Bureau of Diplomatic Security, and the Largo Police Department. It is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Colleen Murphy Davis.
The case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by the United States Attorneys' Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who sexually exploit children, and to identify and rescue victims.

Looking back
A stigma is an odd phenomenon. For one to exist, it has to grow over time. A history of failure, or an inability to perform in the clutch bring about the stigma of losing, a stigma the San Jose Sharks are quite familiar with.
But the funny thing about a stigma is that it doesn't go away until we–the fans who criticize, analyze, and scrutinize every shift–say it does. Prior to last season, the Sharks were saddled with the burden of being one of the league's best teams for six months of the season, and then one of the first to hit the links in April. They were happy to play the clown in our game of playoff puppets, amusing us for a brief week or so and then stepping aside while the real contenders staged the main event.
That was then, before Joe Pavelski scored nine goals and 17 points in 15 playoff games last spring, and the Sharks finally started to play like the cup contenders they've been for years. The magic lasted until the third round, and it's here that we come back to the anatomy of a stigma. San Jose was swept aside after losing four tight games to Chicago, the eventual champions, and that ugly inability to finish crawled back from the dead.
Key additions
It's a shame there has to be a business side to hockey. Because if there wasn't a salary cap, Evgeni Nabokov would probably still be in the Sharks' crease, although that's a can of worms for another day. Instead he's the newest netminder for the powerhouse SKA St. Petersburg, where he'll enjoy the intensely cold winters of his native land.
Nabokov's move left the Sharks searching for a new starter, a search that ended with a name that's given writers nightmares for the past five years, and the now former goaltender of the defending Stanley Cup champions. Antero Niittymaki, who barely had more starts (46) than Nabokov's wins (44), was brought in along with Antti Niemi, who was signed late in the offseason.
Key subtractions
Nabokov's move to Russia was clearly the most significant development in San Jose, the city that claims Dublin, Ireland as a sister city. While Nabokov left for the comforts of home, veteran defenceman Rob Blake left for the comforts of home cooking, and the leisure of retirement. Despite his declining foot-speed, Blake was still effective in his own zone and his physicality will be missed on a team that severely lacks defensive depth.
Third-line centre Manny Malhotra is gone as well, whose tenacity as a bottom six forward and penalty killer will also be missed. Malhotra signed with the Canucks as an unrestricted free agent.
Getting pucks in the opposing goal was the least of San Jose's concerns last year, and it will be again this season. Keeping pucks out of their own goal may be a bit of a problem, but more on that in a minute.
Only two division winners had three players finish inside the top-15 in points. One was quite predictably the Capitals, and the other was–also quite predictably–the San Jose Sharks. Patrick Marleau's dismal 2007-08 campaign (only 19 goals) is now a distant memory, while Danny Heatley checked his baggage at the door in Ottawa and continues to threaten or surpass the 40-goal mark on a yearly basis.
Perennial playmaker Joe Thornton finished eighth overall in points and second in assists. But elite offensive performances from the likes of Thornton, Marleau, and Heatley are expected. What's encouraging for the Sharks is the emergence and continued growth of players like Pavelski–who's coming off back-to-back 25-goal seasons–and Ryan Clowe, the 27-year-old who scored a career-high 57 points. While the Big Three of Heatley, Thornton, and Marleau provide the heavy hammer, San Jose still has plenty of secondary scoring to lead a balanced attack.
Someone once said that the best defence is a good offence. Someone else said that offence wins games, and defence wins championships. The latter guy was one really corny dude, and the first guy was probably a big San Jose Sharks fan.
It isn't necessarily that the Sharks are bad defensively. They're mediocre, which is a less kind way of saying average. As a unit, the Sharks had the fourth best plus/minus in the NHL (+32), a number that can largely be attributed to their offensive firepower, and not so much the guys on the back end. Apart from the young and improving Marc-Edouard Vlasic–who finished the regular season +21–the Sharks' defence was painfully average individually.
Dan Boyle, the offensive leader from the blueline, was +6, while Douglas Murray was +3. Niclas Wallin, who was acquired in February from Carolina, manage to pull his -5 while with the Hurricanes to an even zero, which also happens to be the league plus/minus average last year.
There are those who scoff at plus/minus numbers as an indicator of defensive success. But on a team that finished near the top of every offensive category, it's interesting to observe the very average plus/minus totals for San Jose's blueliners.
Sure, Nabokov was aging, a fact highlighted repeatedly by those in the anti-Nabby camp. But I'm not sure when 35 became the new 45 for NHL goaltenders. Elite goalies–yes, when you win 40 games for three straight years as Nabokov has, you're an elite goalie–are often effective into their late 30′s.
Now Niittymaki and Niemi usher in a new era of goaltending in San Jose. Niittymaki earned the solid but not spectacular label last year while playing behind a far below average Tampa Bay team, finishing with a 2.87 GAA and .909 save percentage.
Meanwhile, Niemi will get the starting job due to his stellar play during Chicago's cup run, but there has to be at least casual concern over a sophomore slump. Niemi was playing behind a championship team with a defence that didn't rely on him for a bailout. The same can't be said for San Jose.
Best case scenario
The Sharks pay a visit to Chicago, Niemi's former place of employment, to see Wrigley Field and a team that defines doomed and has lived through a curse for over 100 years. Suddenly, winning a championship with a team brimming with talent doesn't seem so hard.
The Sharks don't need Niemi to be the next Nabokov, they just need the same calm, steady presence he provided for the Blackhawks. San Jose finally makes it to the Stanley Cup final, winning a victory over the demons but still losing the cup in a tight, six-game series.
Worst case scenario
The crushing four-game debacle against Chicago casts a dark shadow over a team the karma police have been hassling for years. After being told for a year that he's the weakest link on a championship team, Niemi gets used to the idea and plays like it. Lacking the punch and pugnacity that the good ol' time knuckle pounders like Brian Burke love so much, the Sharks are pushed around without the muscle of Blake.
Missing their spine on defence and a netminder capable of providing insurance for their miscues, the Sharks are bounced in the second round, once again failing to live up to the lofty aspirations made possible by a high octane offence.
If the family ties are any indication, the Sharks' first-round pick in the 2010 draft should pan out quite nicely. Of course, we all said the same for Brett Lindros, but I digress.
The Sharks selected Charlie Coyle, who is the cousin of Tony Amonte. The 18-year-old winger is still a few years away from contributing, and will spend this season with Boston University. Coyle scored 21 goals and 63 points over 42 games last year while playing South Shore of the Eastern Junior Hockey League.
Defensively, 2007 first-round pick Nick Petrecki is looking to sneak in as a seventh defenceman. After seeing his ice time shrink last year in Worchester, the Sharks' AHL affiliate, Petrecki's booming blast has caught the attention of the Sharks' staff during the YoungStars Tournament in Penticton.
All Eyes on…
Goal-scoring isn't really a problem for a team that ranked in the top five last year in average goals per game (3.13). It was a prolific scoring punch that also led to the league's fourth-best powerplay percentage (21.0%). You can never have enough scoring though, and apart from the big guns of Heatley, Marleau,Thornton, and Pavelski, more steady secondary scoring would be a nice asset, one that could provide that extra bit of staying power deep in the playoffs.
Two years ago it looked as though the Sharks were developing that secondary scoring source, and his name was Devin Setoguchi. After being drafted eighth overall in 2005, Setoguchi reached the 30-goal plateau in just his first full season, scoring 31 goals and 65 points in the 2008-09 season.
Call it a case of the sophomore jinx, but Setoguchi struggled mightily last year, and didn't even come close to his 2008 numbers. His point production was nearly cut in half, and Setoguchi barely scored 20 goals.
When the stars stumble and the offence runs cold, it's up to secondary players like Setoguchi to pick up the slack. Entering the summer as a restricted free agent, Setoguchi was signed to a one-year, $1.8 million contract, meaning this year will determine the Sharks' faith in him as a long-term point producer.

And there's really nobody to blame

A screen grab shows the access to Netflix online, as displayed on a television screen
Credits: REUTERS/MIKE BLAKE
While more than one-fifth of anglophones watch Netflix, 84% of those also subscribe to traditional TV, whether it be satellite or cable, according to the Media Technology Monitor survey of some 12,000 Canadians.
Netflix users tend to watch less traditional TV than everyone else, soaking up 11.3 hours a week, compared to 14.9.
But when you factor in Netflix and other sources of online TV, they watch more hours than anyone else (22 per week, compared to 16).
"Netflix is for lovers of TV, not cord-cutters," the report says. "Netflix has become a part of their TV-viewing regime rather than a replacement."

Gray was dropped from a similar panel with Webster and Emanuel this spring -- because, Webster says, he couldn't get Gray "to promise to be a gentleman" and stick to the science. "I certainly wasn't going to stand in public and let Bill berate me," he notes.
Eight years ago, Holland, Webster and Gray were among an impressive list of co-authors of a scientific paper that suggested global warming could have a modest effect on hurricane intensity. Since that time, they've parted company -- Holland and Webster seeing an ever-more-significant role for warming, Gray denying that it plays much of a role at all.
"I don't think there's much argument now about global warming itself," Webster says. "The records, the models and the theory all point in the same direction. It's a matter of degree."
Gray's scathing criticism of others' research has put more pressure on him to come up with a plausible alternative explanation of the climate's warming signals. This has proved to be a daunting task. Gray thinks the answer lies with the Atlantic Thermohaline Circulation (THC), which he describes as a kind of "hydrologic thermostat" that conveys deep, cold-saline water and warmer, less salty currents around the globe. As the circulation surges or weakens, he contends, the earth goes through periods of cooling and warming.
"Overall, the globe has warmed over the past 120 years," he says. "That's due, in my view, to a multi-century slowing of the thermohaline. We're coming out of a little ice age, and overall, the thermohaline has been slowing. But that doesn't mean it doesn't speed up for thirty or forty years."
Gray claims that the THC is getting stronger, and that within a few years the earth will begin to cool again. Most studies of changes in the ocean climate are mere snapshots, he adds; they don't take a long enough view of the data to detect the THC at work. Yet his own writings on the subject seem more intuitive than empirical. They express a kind of peculiar faith that natural ocean processes are too mighty to be changed by man -- or fixed by him.
Gray's ideas about the THC and its role in global warming have been blasted on RealClimate.org, a lively website run by climate scientists who often duel with the skeptics. "It is all seat-of-the-pants stuff of a sort that was common in the early days of climate studies," the site notes, "but which is difficult to evaluate when viewed as a scientific hypothesis."
Preoccupied with his forecasting, Gray acknowledges that he hasn't devoted the time to researching the THC that it deserves. "I'm not satisfied that I understand the thing," he says.
Now that he's retired, he's yearning to dive into climate data going back to the 1940s that NOAA is in the process of re-analyzing to detect new global patterns. He plans to write a book on tropical storms and some "long articles" on global-warming issues.
"I am inundated with data," he says. "I am studying this in a serious way. I wish I was twenty years younger and had this to look forward to."
CU's Pielke believes the hurricane controversy is too complex to find a speedy resolution. "I think hurricanes will be a focus of debate for years and maybe even decades," he says. "If dealing with climate policy depends on resolving the debate to the satisfaction of all the scientists, then we're in trouble."
On the wall of Gray's office, there's a photograph of the hurricane-chaser posing with one of his all-time heroes, novelist Michael Crichton, whose potboiling bestseller State of Fear revolves around a radical environmental group's evil conspiracy to exploit fears about global warming. "The work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus," Crichton has written. "Whenever you hear the consensus of scientists agrees on something or other, reach for your wallet, because you're being had."
The picture was taken last fall, when Gray was in Washington to testify before the U.S. Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. The hearings featured a parade of skeptics invited by the committee's chair, Oklahoma Republican James Inhofe, who's declared that global warming "might be the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people."
Given the company he keeps, it would be easy to lump Gray in with the "so-called skeptics" Al Gore routinely disparages, suggesting that all doubts about global warming can be traced back to the interests of the fossil-fuel giants. But there's nothing feigned about Gray's skepticism, and no apparent political agenda. He says he's been a "flaming liberal" most of his life; he voted twice for Clinton-Gore even as the administration was cutting his funds. And his views on the environment wouldn't sound out of place at a Sierra Club meeting.
"Certainly, burning fossil fuels has led to tremendous problems," he says. "We should be putting money into alternate energy sources and making more efficient use of our fuels. But we should be doing that for its own sake. Don't fly this under a false flag, that we're doing it to stop global warming. If it's a little cooler in fifteen or twenty years, and it becomes evident the warming of the last hundred years is primarily due to ocean circulation changes, then we'll look back on this and say, ŒHow can you trust science?'"

"Faith is an integral part of the Democratic Party," the Reverend Derrick Harkins proclaimed Wednesday as he kicked off a panel on religion at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte. "Don't put any credence to the lie that somehow faith is not an integral part of who we are as Democrats—somebody ought to say, 'Amen!'" Applause filled the forum. The event, the second that Harkins helped organize this week in addition to a daily morning prayer series, is the most recent attempt by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to rally the faith vote for President Obama in November. And Harkins is the man behind the mission.
The first time Harkins met the president was six years ago, when then-Senator Obama gave his Call to Renewal speech—perhaps his most openly Christian public address—at Washington's National City Christian Church. "If we truly hope to speak to people where they're at, to communicate our hopes and values in a way that's relevant to their own," Obama said, "then as progressives, we cannot abandon the field of religious discourse." At the time, Harkins was on the board of the progressive evangelical organization Sojourners, which was hosting the conference. From the pews, he listened carefully as the young congressman outlined how his Christian commitments informed his progressive agenda. "Even then, when people were just beginning to buzz about his possibly running for president, I was struck by the depth and authenticity of his own understanding of his personal faith," Harkins recalls.

Like many teachers, I was resistant to using technology at the start. I didn't use any technology my first two years in the classroom (except the days my administrator would evaluate me and, for those days, I would throw together a PowerPoint!). Now I am lucky to work with some amazing districts, schools, administrators and teachers around the world who are revolutionizing education. Here are the first three reasons I don't think I can be a great teacher without using mobile technology in my classroom.
Apex Learning, a provider of tools for virtual and blended learning, is expanding its line of math and English language arts tutorials for students in grades 6-8.
Why not let someone else keep your files safe and shareable so you don't have to take up your hard drive space?
FileWave has introduced version 8.0 of its mobile device management software. New features include Android support, the addition of inventory-based smart groups, VPP managed distribution for Mac with multiple sToken support, parameterized profiles for Mac and advanced license management.
As part of its YouthSpark initiative, Microsoft has teamed with nine of its hardware partners to deliver a special pricing program on devices for schools. The devices are designed to be compliant with Common Core testing requirements and start at less than $300.
Booneville School District in Mississippi has implemented Chromebooks and iPad Minis for all 1,300 K-12 students and 90 teachers, along with new wireless infrastructure to support the devices.
New research by ISTE and the Verizon Foundation suggests that for schools with mobile device initiatives an organized, comprehensive teacher training program can improve standardized test scores, at least somewhat, and lead to more one-on-one learning in the classroom.
Chalkup employs social networking tools and an interactive platform to facilitate online learning with video chat, instant messaging, group messaging, discussion boards and Twitter.
When schools need technology and districts can't provide it, sometimes the only way to find the funds is to get creative.
This week we explore a recently published book: The Second Machine Age: Work, Progress, and Prosperity in a Time of Brilliant Technologies. In a nutshell: "Computers ... are doing for mental power ... what the steam engine and its descendants did for muscle power." And the steam engine "was ... the biggest and fastest transformation in the entire history of the world." Buckle up!

"WAKE THE **** UP...!!!,CHRIS WAKE THE **** UP!!".Chris....Chris was a Highschool Dropout with no goals in his life.As he awoke with his red veiney sore eyes with his pig faced father beside his bed."Now,your living in this house but not for free,Either pay me your rent or get the **** out of here!!".Chris,with a angried disgusted face,"No,**** you!!OLD MAN!!"."Say that to my face again you little piece of ****!!!".As Chris's father left his room with slamming the door behind him,He picked all his Clothes,Food,And his Weed with him."No!!*crying*not my baby!!!you cant do this!".Said Chris's Mother."I CAN DO WHATEVER THE **** I WANNA DO WOMEN!!"."Hey,dont say that to my mothers face Fat Ass!!".Chris's father approaching Chris slowly,as if he was going to attack,says "You....get the ****...out...of...my..house.".Chris then leaves the house,slamming the door behind him,go out into the streets to see whats next.Chris lives in Stilwater,Saints Row District.The whole neighborhood overrun with Street gangs, was a Danger Zone.You had more of a chance to be killed than to be welcomed.Stilwater itself was a Corrupt city,More like a Shithole.Chris knew now he was in his own.He knew that in a few minutes,a gang banger will come out of the Alleyway and jump him.As he walked the Dangerous hoods all he saw was Pimps slapping hos,Gangs spraying Grafitti,And drug dealers selling coke or marijuana,He knew there was no choice but to sleep in the streets.He found a cozy dark empty alleyway.He set up his torn curtain on the ground,and used his backpack as a pillow.He prayed hoping to get out of this situation and hope for the best.He then layed down and fell fast asleep.He can feel rats sniffing him,Ants Crawling on him.But he was still brave. TO BE CONTINUED.....I hope you guys liked it.I will be making more chapters and stuff.Now the description of Chris is he has a Black fade,Brown eyes,and is not to Skinny nor to fat.Hes pretty average for his weight and height.

This site grew out of realization that it is hard for consumers to find information about farm shares. I've had a farm share for years, and really believe in the power of farm shares to educate the consumer, provide great value and build community.
To get your Colorado farm listed (for free), just send us an email via the contact us form. Please send a link to your signup form if available, or include farm, share and pickup information. In addition, we like to put pictures on farm listings, so we'll probably ask you for one.
If you have a question about this site, or any of the content on it, or a suggestion/correction or deletion, please contact us.
Obviously, sites like Local Harvest provide more geographic reach and other services, but I like to think that ColoradoCSAs.info is different.
I also wanted to list resources for local farmers that I've come across in my web searches.
- The CSU Small Farms mailing list sends infrequent emails about classes, grants and other useful opportunities for small farms. Also, a quarterly small farm aimed classifieds is sent to this email list.
- Here's a research paper from Leslie Reiker, a student at Colorado State University: How to Maintain a Sustainable Low-Input CSA Farm in Colorado.
- Information on urban agriculture, for neighborhood supported farms.
- The Boulder county extension office has lots of useful information for farmers.
- Colorado Farm To Market has information on regulations for farm produced products.
- Farm and Food Jobs is a jobs site focusing on farm and food based jobs.
- A free online handbook on running, planning, and growing a multi-farm CSA

You are an important influence in the lives of your patients. You speak with them about cholesterol, blood pressure, weight control, smoking cessation and more to prevent heart attack and stroke. You know the risks and you invest in teaching the risk to your patients'. Yet, so many nurses don't practice the advice they give their patients' about health, wellness and risk reduction.
We understand that nurses have a unique, stressful, work environment and we're here to help. In a new campaign launching this summer, PCNA will provide the resources our members and other nurses need to invest in their own health, track our members' success via video interviews and host discussions for you to share successes and health tips with other nurses.

What is an Ethernet Fabric ?

Backplane Ethernet – the GBaseK Standard
A lesser known standard is Backplane Ethernet. I wasn't aware of it until I was researching Notes on Cables and Connectors for 40 and 100 Gigabit Ethernet. I spent some time over the weekend scratching an itch to have a look at it and why it exists.These are scrach notes, and observations from a research session and not intended to a canonical investigation. Interesting though because it's is valuable to understand that many network products are functionally all the same – only the software and the people are different.

Hello, We are trying to grow cut flowers for our May 25 wedding. This will be a first try at cut flowers so I have a couple of questions. We are in zone 6b aroun middle TN. We have a large non-heated hoop house that we just acquired this year. Colors are blue and purple, so seeds we have found so far are: Are the "Time to Bloom" counts on the seed packs only to first bloom? If so, should we add a couple of weeks to that, and plant that many days before the weeding? How can we be sure they remain in bloom long enough? Should these all reliably bloom for a couple of months at least? We'll be starting in 1x1" cells, under flourescent lights. Since our last frost date is April 15, I thought we could move them to the unheated hoop house around mid-March, in 4x4 pots. Then later move to 1-gallon pots if needed. Should this be ok? We'll plan to plant at least a couple of dozen of each plant - should we go with more? And will these remain in bloom or do we need to plant a couple dozen per week, in several cadences over a couple of months? By the way - I don't think it would matter - but we'll also be attempting to grow vegetables for the same event in the same hoop house, along with the cut flowers. Thank you! |
Follow-Up Postings:
arround here zinnias don't bloom until late August or September. You better check with other gardeners and see if it is even possible to get them into bloom that early. Many Canterbury Bells are bi-annuals. That means that you grow them for a whole year then they bloom the 2nd year. Check on the seeds you have selected to see whether there is any chance they will bloom this soon. Larkspur and Batchelors Button are the only ones that look possible to me on that list but I don't know your climate well. I would suggest you order the other flowers already grown and in bloom. Put your efforts into having a beautiful background to display them. Find out when each flower grows where you are. |
- Posted by steve22802 7a VA (My Page) on Tue, Feb 26, 13 at 13:26
I agree with Lizalily, it will be difficult to get these annuals to bloom by May 25. If you really want to grow your own wedding flowers (and vegetables) you would be much better off moving your wedding date to the middle of the growing season instead of the beginning of the growing season. Perhaps you or your friends have established perennials that you could use such as peonies or iris? |
Hi! My anniversary is May 25, too! I didn't try to grow my own bouquet last year, but I did get married at home and we did a lot of landscaping work. The zinnias I planted from seed weren't anywhere close to ready in time (I'm in VA, so not too different from TN). Honestly, the lovely wildflower meadow I had envisioned was a lovely patch of tall green grass and not much else. I did have a lot of luck with some pretty purple iris that a friend split for me to transplant, transplating wild ferns from the creek bed, and wave petunias. I can sum up and say the best luck I had was with plants already well on their way to maturity from years past. My parents had the prettiest yard in the neighborhood come summer, though, when the wildflower meadow came in! |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Tawny!
Facts about Tawny
- Breed: Domestic Longhair
- Color: Tan Or Fawn Tabby
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Long
Tawny's Info...
I am already neutered and up to date with shots.
My name is Tawney. I used to be really shy, but I have been working on my confidence and now I think I am ready to find just the right person to be my companion. Are you the one?
Other Pets at Rogue Valley Humane Society
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Tawny, a Grants Pass Domestic Longhair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Longhair for sale in Grants Pass, or seeking a Domestic Longhair cat from a breeder in Grants Pass.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Grants Pass already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Grants Pass breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Longhair breeders who help with Domestic Longhair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Grants Pass paves the way for another one to be saved.

As I mentioned on Show #127, I am looking to gauge interest in a WDW Radio cruise aboard the new Disney Dream on the Disney Cruise Line in 2011. Join Lou Mongello and listeners of the WDW Radio Show on a voyage on Disney's newest (and largest!) ship!
If you are interested (NO obligation), please post here and let me know:
1. How many people in your party
2. Stateroom type you might be interested in (inside, ocean view or balcony)
3. Vote in the poll on the top of this page on WHEN you might like to go, in order of preference:
1) Inaugural cruise (or first available sailing)
2) Jan/Feb 2011
3) Fall 2011 (likely lowest price)
4) June - Aug 2011 - school break (likely highest cost)
(You may also rank them, in order, from 104 in your post here as that would be helpful as well)
As you probably know, while similar to the Magic and Wonder, the Dream will be much larger, as the ship will have two additional decks and 1250 staterooms.
There is so much to do for families, kids and adults, and ask you know there will always be a few surprises in store as well.
I know this may seem a bit early, but because this cruise and all of the early departures are going to book up VERY very quickly, if we have an idea of what we may need that would be extremely helpful
No details or pricing has been made available as yet, and this may seem like a ways away, but gives you time to plan and save and gives us time to get ready for whenever Disney releases information.
I am VERY excited about the possibility of cruising on the Disney Cruise Line's newest ship, the Disney Dream, with as many listeners as possible.
Please post here in the forums or Facebook Event Page http://www.wdwradio.com/images/artic...ebook_logo.gif if you have any questions.
Hope to see you on board!

WASHINGTON (MNI) The following is a transcript from the news
conference with Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, who said
addressing fiscal deficits is a top priority, and that Standard & Poor's
action could provide additional incentive to that effect:
REPORTER: Last week Standard & Poor's put the United States debt on
a negative watch for the very first time ever. What is your reaction to
that? And are you concerned? Are you worried that the United States is
going to lose its AAA credit rating?
CHAIRMAN BERNANKE: Well, in one sense S&P's action didn't — S&P's
action didn't really tell us anything. Anybody who read a newspaper
knows that the United States has a very serious long-term fiscal
That being said I'm hopeful that this event will provide at least
one more incentive for Congress and the administration to address this
problem. I think it's the most important economic problem at least in
the longer term that the United States faces.
We currently have a fiscal deficit which is simply not sustainable
over the longer term. And if it is not addressed it will have
significant consequences for financial stability, for economic growth,
and for our standard of living.
It is encouraging that we are seeing efforts on both sides of the
aisle to think about this issue from a long run perspective. It is not a
problem that can be solved by making the case only for the next six
months. It's really a long-run issue.
We are still a long way from a solution, obviously. But I think it
is of the highest importance that our political leaders address this
very difficult problem as quickly and as effectively as they can. To the
extent that the S&P action bodes a response, I think that's
REPORTER: In the past there have been times when fiscal policy has
tightened and the Federal Reserve has chosen to ease its policy in
response. Congress appears intent at this point in cutting spending
significantly. It might restrain the economy as it appears to be doing
in Britain where they are following a similar path. Is there anything
that the Fed can do or should do if indeed there are large budget cuts
sometime in the next 18 months?
CHAIRMAN BERNANKE: First let me say that addressing the fiscal
deficit, particularly the long run unsustainable deficit is a top
priority. Nothing I say should be construed as saying it's anything
other than a top priority. It is terribly important that our leaders
address this issue.
I would also say that the cuts that have been made so far don't
seem to us to have had significant consequences for short-term economic
Now, my preference in terms of addressing the long-term deficit is
to take a long-term perspective. It's a long-term problem. If Congress
and the administration are able to make credible commitments to cutting
programs or in any way changing the fiscal profile going forward over a
long period of time, that is the most constructive way to address what
is in fact a long run problem.
If the changes are focused entirely on the short run, then they
might have some consequences for growth. In that case, the Federal
Reserve, which is as always going to try to set monetary policy to meet
our mandate would take those into account appropriately. So far I have
not seen any fiscal changes that have really changed our near term

Previous owners planted a Purpleleaf Sandcherry as the premier front yard plant right off the front door. Looking to replace it next spring.
Any suggestions for a small tree or large shrub that can be limbed up? Season long beauty would be number one goal, but could be as simple as good bright clean foilage year long, like a Magnolia. Some of my choices may be too large, but if I can contain them since they are so slow growing it may be worthwhile. Could make a 10' X 10" plant work.
Choices so far...
Any other suggestions, or would you focus on one in particular from agove? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
River birch, non-fruiting crabapple. Both are rather fast growing, and look best when limbed up. Another smaller tree that dosn't need limbing up is a multitrunked Service- berry. It is somewhat of an umbrella shape, like an Elm. I sure am no expert on what is hardy to zone 5. But none of those trees you mentioned grow freely around my SE WI area. (Oh, except virburnum) Pondy |
Whoa, River Birch will get 20' wide in 10 years, easy. Your missing out, all those trees are readily available in SE WI and will thrive given the right spot. In fact Pagoda Dogwood is a native here and the Redbud Columbus strain is from Columbus, WI. I did add the following plants: Ball of Fire Musclewood (new Johnsons Nursery intro) Hmmm...so many choices! |
U guys are in the banana belt region of WI compared to me (Eau Claire). I've been growing a couple of Minnesota strain Redbuds for several years now with no dieback. They're growing all over the MN landscape arb. I've also got a Fringetree that seems to be fully hardy. I did have one die back to the ground after a hard winter, but it was from a different seed source. Cornus alternifoia is hardy into z3. Have either of you tried Paperbark Maple? Bob |
Ah, another good choice! The bark on those are very cool. Tough to find and unfortunately too big for what I need (10' x 10'). Yes, both the Redbud (MN and Columbus strain)and White Fringetree are hardy to zone 4. |
Is the 'limbed up' thing just about preventing it from taking a lot of ground space? If so, what about a columnar evergreen conifer like an emerald green arborvitae? Or something similar that'd remain green & attractive during winter, without bushing out too badly. Of course, if you want a tall naked trunk under the crown of the tree, that's not going to work out. What is it about the Purpleleaf Sandcherry that you don't like? I'm not pushing the plant, just thinking that knowing what you don't like about it might help rule out some of the other options. Richard. |

linking to the same post in another forum .... since you are getting other ideas over there .. NOT a complaint .... ken |
Here is a link that might be useful: linking
Sorry, since its a bordline a tree/shrub question I thought I post in both. Wasn't sure if either one had regulars in one vs. the other. I don't know, evergreens have there place, but they bore the heck out me...escpecially Arbs, I think they are starting to outnumber the blades of grass in my neighborhood. As for the Purpleleaf Sandcherry, its 15 years old. I'm shocked that it lived that long. Everyone and there mother has one of these planted in my area, kind of like those stupid burning bushes. |

Last week, I watched in horror as my Prada sunglasses went skidding across a dock and into the Chesapeake Bay. They sank rock-like and were out of sight in two seconds, disappearing into the murky deep to find their final resting place among the oysters and blue crabs. I spent the rest of my East Coast vacation squinting in a $2.99 pair of Forever 21 sunglasses that I brought along as backup. (I can't believe I had the foresight to do that! Perhaps I knew that my Prada's days were numbered.)
My first reaction when my shades took a dive was of deep loss. My sunglasses had been my constant companion for five years AND they were the first pair of designer anything that I owned. My second reaction was a heart-racing thrill when I realized that I now had a reason to buy a BRAND NEW pair! Mourning complete; commence shopping!
There are great stores to buy sunglasses in LA, none of which are very convenient to my home in the outer reaches of the city, and I didn't feel like driving to a hipster neighborhood to fight for parking. (I have made the full conversion to a convenience-loving suburbanite.) I was considering a run to Sunglass Hut when my husband reminded me of a little store called the Society of the Spectacle.
About two miles from my house, the store resides in a cute bungalow among auto mechanics and taco trucks. Woe to anyone who has passed by this little gem without going in — especially on a Saturday when there are FREE cupcakes! After indulging in a coconut cupcake, you can peruse hundreds of unique glasses, including an amazing line of hand-made French specs. I walked out the proud owner of a pair of 1940s-style translucent blue shades, feeling like Rita Hayworth.
Before you go to a chain store, check out the little specialty shops in your neighborhood. There's a real thrill to finding something unique that everyone on the planet doesn't own, plus you'll be supporting the small businesses in your community. When I'm ready for a new pair of reading glasses, I'll definitely pay another visit to my local spec shop (most likely on a Saturday, for added baked good benefits).

Afghanistan 94/5, 28 Overs
Mukib Mosleh from Fatullah
Tigercricket correspondent
After electing to field first, tiger bowlers have managed to keep Afghanistan under control by taking timely wickets. After 28 overs, Afghanistan are struggling at 94-5.
Aggressive bowling from the tiger bowlers never let Afghanistan batsmen take control. Rubel Hossain, leading the Bangladesh pace attack in Mashrafe's absence, took the wicket of Mohammad Shahzad in his second over. On the other end, veteran spinner Abdur Razzak kept things tight as Afghanistan struggled to break free. Afghanistan batsmen tried to attack when Arafat Sunny was brought to attack. But quality bowling from Sunny gave him two quick wickets. A brilliant run out from Naeem Islam sent Nawroz Mangal back to the pavilion who was looking for a moment. Later, Nasir took a sharp catch at first slip off Mominul Hoque's part-time spin to send dangerous Nabi back to the pavilion.
Shohag Gazi, the premium off spinner of the country, got injured in his fingers in the very first over of his bowling, attempting to field a well timed drive from the batsman. If serious then Gazi's injury will heavily weaken the already heavily injury struck tiger bowling unit.
Afghanistan will now try to bring back some respectability into their scoreboard while Bangladesh will be eyeing a quick removal of rest of the Afghan wickets to expedite a bonus point win from here.
Host Bangladesh field first in a must win game with a spirited Afghanistan unit at Fatullah. Multiple injuries of some critical players like Mashrafee, Tamim Iqbal and a suspension on Shakib Al Hasan have weakened the tiger's strength though the tiger captain, Mushfiqur Rahim, will play in this match despite getting hurt on the shoulder in the previous game due to the importance of this game. Tigers will have to win in this game if they want to stay in the race to final. Pressure is on them to perform as the superior side, it will be interesting to see their response today.
On the other hand, after a good display of cricket against Pakistan, Afghahistan will be eager to meet one of the weaker test playing teams, Bangladesh, for the first time in their cricketing history.

Thermal Inversions
Name: Bryan Spray Status: N/A Age: N/A Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: Around 1993
Please explain the causes of a thermal inversion. We are curious about how it is possible for this to occur for any length of time. Would the air underneath, cool air, not heat up and cause a convection current?
Gee, my knowledge of atmospheric science is really pretty weak, especially when it comes to meteorological topics. One thing I do know is that in eastern Colorado, inversions are perpetually a problem because they tend to keep the smoke from people's chimneys close to the ground, as well as holding in CO from cars, and it is generally unpleasant. I was always told that this had to do with the fact that Denver lies right at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, on very flat land, and the cold air blowing over the city from the west during the winter tends to be colder than warm air near the city down in its basin, which is relatively stagnant (does not mix much with the cool air above). However I realize that this is not much of an explanation. All I can do is suggest that you hit the library and do some reading up on the subject....I am sorry I cannot help more.
Robert Topper
The meteorology texts I consulted list two main types of thermal inversion. One, called radiation inversion, develops during the night when the ground cools by giving off long wave radiation. The air near the ground is cooled by contact with the ground, and this layer eventually gets cooler than the air higher up. This is enhanced by the presence of a large high pressure system overhead, which usually is dry (clouds scatter long wave radiation, returning some heat energy back to the ground) and has only light winds (so there is not much horizontal or vertical mixing). The inversion layer may extend from a few feet to several hundred feet above the surface, and is usually dispersed by the next day's solar heating (there is your convection). So ordinarily it lasts only through the night. But occasionally the inversion can persist for several days. This happened in London in December of 1952. It led to respiratory problems for a sizable part of the population and resulted in the deaths of 4000 people, mostly elderly. (It was not the inversion per se, but rather the excessive pollution, a lot of it from coal-burning furnaces, which the inversion trapped near the ground.) There is an interesting description of what it was like in the Time-Life book "Planet Earth: Atmosphere" (this book also discusses the causes of inversions, and how the terrain may contribute to their formation, as in the case of Los Angeles). The inversion was able to persist for a couple of reasons: there was a big, slow-moving high pressure area present, and there was a persistent fog, which prevented sunlight (which was weak anyway, since it was late autumn) from reaching the ground and heating it to produce convection. Finally, a low-pressure system came in and pushed the stagnant, coal-dust- laden air away.
Ronald Winther
In cold, dark places such as Antarctica or Alaska in the winter, inversions can last for a long time because the sunlight never warms the very cold air.

Lincoln, Nebraska, Feb 19, 2013 -- Nebraska Indian Community College President Micheal Oltrogge of Macy, Nebraska had the opportunity to share his college's needs at the USDA and American Indian Higher Education Consortium Leadership Group Winter Meeting on February 8, 2013 in Washington, DC. Oltrogge addressed his remarks to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Senior Advisor to the Secretary on Tribal Relations and Office of Tribal Relations Acting Director Max Finberg.
Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack spoke to the presidents of the tribal colleges from across the nation at the Agriculture Department expressing his commitment to support Tribes and further strengthening the government-to-government relationship.
The Secretary noted that President Obama continues to work closely with Tribes to establish a "deeper, more meaningful" consultation process.
Natural Resources and Environment Deputy Under Secretary Butch Blazer, said that under the Obama Administration "Indian education is being elevated. Higher education is creating the young tribal professionals that we need."

I just finished reading four books, back to back, and each one was STELLAR. That never happens, so you better believe I'm excited to praise these reads, all of which have a common thread–each features a flawed, unconventional protagonist.
I AM NOT A SERIAL KILLER by Dan Wells.
Six Second Summary: John Wayne Cleaver is dangerous, and he knows it. To keep his obsession with serial killer under wraps and under control, he lives by rigid rules he's written for himself, practicing normal high school life as if it were a private religion that could save him from damnation. After a string of brutal murders terrorizes his town, John has to confront a danger outside himself, a threat he can't control, a menace to everything and everyone he would love, if only he could.
I loved it because: Wells' voice is electric–he keeps the action moving at a fast clip, but all the while, we feel the misunderstood, melancholy wounds that John Wayne Cleaver tries to conceal. There are twists and unexpected turns of fate that make I AM NOT A SERIAL KILLER nothing less than stone cold stellar–don't miss it.
Shelve it between: DARKLY DREAMING DEXTER by Jeff Lindsay and your copy of SUPERNATURAL: Season One, two other chilling, thrilling diversions.
BLACK HEART by Holly Black
Six Second Summary: Cassel Sharpe comes from a long line of con artists and curse workers. Everyone wants him–the crime families and feds, but he's just trying to stay out of trouble and protect the headstrong girl who's always held his heart. Cassel will need every ounce of wit and will to make one last score, a final play to win his freedom, once and for all.
I loved it because: It's no secret I adored WHITE CAT and RED GLOVE, but Holly Black outdid herself this time–BLACK HEART is a David Mamet meets Mario Puzo masterpiece, one of the very best trilogy conclusions I've ever finished. Get thee to a bookstore right now and pick it up.
Shelve it between: David Mamet's sleeper con-artist flick, THE SPANISH PRISONER and Mario Puzo's THE GODFATHER: PART II. Yeah, it's that good. A top shelf trilogy.
DROWNING INSTINCT by Ilsa J. Bick
Six Second Summary: Jenna Lord hides a lot of scars–her psycho dad and drunk mother haven't protected her in life, and when Jenna meets Mitch Anderson, her chemistry teacher and coach, she's drawn to him. He's the one person she can trust, the one honest adult who makes her feel safe. In

Beaten Ohio man shot during self-defense lesson - The Herald DispatchBeaten Ohio man shot during self-defense lesson
October 02, 2009 @ 11:25 AM
GROVEPORT, Ohio (AP) An 80-year-old Ohio man is recovering from a week in which he was beaten during a home invasion and then shot while trying to learn about guns.
Ralph Needs says he wouldnt want anyone else to experience what hes been through.
He was tied up and pistol-whipped when at least three intruders broke into his Columbus area home on Sept. 20. Needs nose was broken and his pickup truck, a computer and credit cards were taken.
Four days later, Needs was shot in the hand during a self-defense lesson. A 9 mm pistol went off as one of his sons was loading it.
Groveport police say it was an accident, so there will be no charges. No one has been arrested in the assault, but one person
Holy crap! This guy just can't win.

. . . Anderson does a wonderful job of skewering so many of the misconceptions and lazy assumptions of the genre, bringing his historical knowledge to bear on such things as the day-to-day realities of a pre-industrial society, the likely workings of politics and religion, and, of course, some of the practical aspects of fighting and combat. 'On Thud and Blunder' does more to get the reader thinking in these terms, and inspired to go out and do some research, than a great many of today's shallow, cynical books written on the subject of world building and aimed at the would-be fantasy writer.It's a great essay for the prospective writer of fantasy fiction, as well as for anyone interested in the way the genre has changed over time.

Examining Poul Anderson's 'On Thud and Blunder'
Over at Black Gate this week I posted a short reflection on Poul Anderson's 1978 essay 'On Thud and Blunder,' his call for more realism in adventure fantasy fiction. A lot has certainly changed in thirty years, but Anderson's essay is well worth reading for a lot of reasons -- not least of which is the wealth of fascinating historical anecdotes he throws around.
