How are your hot weather crops doing?
Let's go and look at my garden today, it was a hot day that is for sure. Black jungle butterbeans are producing despite the high temperatures I have to shelled some today:) Yard long beans, you either love them or hate them,lol. (I like them) The surprise and tasty vegetable, the easiest to grow and tender, bitter free leaves that taste like spinach (not slimy like other ones) Thank you Maxine. Eggplants are producing well and I love them! My favorite dish using everything that I grow in the garden Green Glaze collards are the best! and I have a lot to share with friends And my yellow tamarillo also know as a tree tomato is ripening, they are delicious! Silvia |
Follow-Up Postings:
How are the tomato seedlings? I have mine getting ready for the fall season. The new ones this season is Nyagous and Rosalita, thank you Tom. Also planted are a smorgasbord of favorites.:) Broccoli and more collards are started and I will follow with some winter squash. Silvia |

Silvia, Your garden looks healthy as always! An update on the Seminole Pumpkin seeds you shared with me last year. I'm growing again this year from seeds that I saved from last year's harvest. I have 21 mature pumpkins from three plants. Also, my Seminole pumpkin seeds will be distributed at the seed exchange at the August meeting of the Organic Grower's Club here in Orlando. I just thought you would enjoy knowing what your generosity has led to. I'm most interested in the winter squash you mentioned in your post. When it the best time to plant and what variety has worked for you. Thanks, Mary |

Please tell us more about that big leafed plant from Maxine! I would love to have some. Everything looks so beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Veronica |
I love the yard long beans too. I'd also like to get the red ones to try again. I agree I'd like to know more about the spinach like green, what is that? ;o) My best tomato was the yellow pear it just now stopped producing. Your garden looks wonderful as usual. |
Hi Mary - It is so nice to hear from you and that you keep growing the seminole pumpkin, they are tasty and keep well and it is very nice from you to save the seeds and give others to try, it is very rewarding to see other gardeners succeed. Just about this time I am going to start shorter season winter squash, nematodes are active when is hot so I either starter them in new beds or big container, in the spring when is cooler they all get to start in the raised beds. I had good luck with Sweet Dumpling, Delica, Red Kuri and Blue Kuri. This fall I am trying another one that is highly recommended Sunshine and it is a hybrid, I will give my reports after I harvest it to see how well it does in our weather and how it taste. You can also try a winter squash available as seedlings at the big box stores that is the Buttercup. Here is a red kuri in October with a harvested big sweet potato, picture taken in October last year. Hi Veronica - Oh! I forgot about the name is an edible amaranth called callaloo and widely used in the Caribbean, I ate it while in Jamaica for breakfast, steamed and with sides of vegetables and fish, it was very good. When I came back I decided to grow it, that is when Maxine shared some seeds with me, they were green so I thought they would not grow, lol. She said just sprinkle them and they will keep growing and I have to tell you they are delicious! I prepare washing them in salted water even mine had no bugs, then I stir fry some onions and let the chopped callaloo cook for about 10 minutes. This are the best greens for the summer, I will make soup with chorizo today since the family like them. Here is another picture Hi Kathy - You can probably grow callaloo all year round, I read that is very nutritious more so than spinach and when cooked, in my opinion taste better than spinach. We all need our greens for our health, especially if they grow easy for us and easy and fast to prepare. I am going to leave the space in the garden to keep growing. The pictures that I posted are after the big harvest for the dinner last night, and they are not even that long in the ground, the only thing I do for the collards and the callaloo is to wash the leaves with a light spray of water and I have no bugs there. Next time that I cook the leaves I will take a picture, I forgot that yesterday. Today is butterbeans for lunch or dinner. If you have extra tomatoes one of the best ways to keep them for later is just freezing them. That is what I did with some of mine and I am enjoying them for dishes now, like the eggplant dish that I did with the frozen tomatoes. Winter squash cooked and frozen is also very good for recipes, this morning we are having winter squash pancakes. And thank you Ladies for all your nice comments. Silvia |

As usual Silvia you are way ahead of me. My tomatoes are still in their cups. Well actually they are ready to be in larger containers but I find it hard to motivate myself in this heat. Your pictures are good motivation though. Everything looks great. |

Thanks for sharing all those wonderful photos - your eggplants look like small trees! I have okra & Winter squash right now (I make fritters w/ the abundant male blossoms) & I'm harvesting ripe grapes, along w/ various herbs & chicories. Aconcagua peppers have been producing right along. I'm really pleased w/ this variety; it's tall & vigorous w/ large, sweet fruit & the Summer fruit flies seem to be leaving it alone. Anxiously waiting on some ripening papayas - I grew 1 plant w/ no male for pollination, but fruit formed anyway - likely due to male trees in the neighborhood & helpful bees. & FWIW, I neither hate nor love yard-long beans = J |

Gosh, Silvia, do you ever have even one imperfect leaf anywhere in your garden? Amazing, as always. That's really interesting about callaloo. |
- Posted by loufloralcityz9 Z 9 (My Page) on Sun, Jul 31, 11 at 11:15
F Y I: For people searching for the seeds. The leaf Amaranth or Red Amaranth has a few different names. Callaloo, Hin Choy, Bhakti, Bhajii, Klaroen Scientific name; Allium cepa var. cepa. |
Looking good Silvia, let me know how you do with Nyagous and Rosalita, I'm trying a half dozen new varieties this season, you know how that goes, you can never have too much color ;-) Not sure this is going to work but I started some Solar Fire plants early, usually it's still too hot here in September for fruit bloom set, we'll see. These currants will probably set fruit in September but only time will tell. These tomatoes will come out from under the lights next weekend and out on the east side of the house with morning sun and afternoon shade. These sweet peppers get potted up today and go outside. I'll be starting some broccoli seed today too...getting excited about the fall season now! Tom |
Thank you Amber - I also think is very hot now that is why I have the tomatoes in the porch, they get afternoon shade. I actually saw the ripples today outside in the heat like you see in the desert, lol. At least we got AC. Thank you Carol - I am glad to know that you are enjoying the fruits of your labor, grapes are tasty! and that remind me that we were going to the Lakeridge winery in Clermont for the festival but we thought it is just too hot to be enjoying the music outdoors.-( And yes the eggplants are like a small trees and very productive!, some of them harvested Thank you Tom - Your tomatoes look so good and well protected, I think you will do fine where you have them and if not you have the back ups. I have a lot of back ups too just in case anything happens to the ones in the big pots. Have a great fall season! Silvia |
Thank you Writersblock. I am making a vegetable soup today and will be using some callaloo, I have it soaking in salted water to be used in the soup. Just picked callaloo leaves only, I think the stems can be used also but in this dish I am only using the leaves which are very soft and thin. Silvia |
- Posted by carolb_w_fl 9/10 coastal (My Page) on Mon, Aug 1, 11 at 8:26
FWIW @ loufloralcityz9 'allium cepa' is onions - I thought amaranths were Amaranthaceae...? |
- Posted by loufloralcityz9 Z 9 (My Page) on Mon, Aug 1, 11 at 11:39
oops, early morning brain fog. I stand corrected. Lou |
There are different amaranths in the market, look for the one that is called callaloo or that it says it is used in Jamaican cooking. I said this because I grew other varieties before and they are not the same. The soup that I used butterbeans,some frozen tomatoes from the garden and the callaloo. I like it and I am sure it is very nutritious. Silvia |
Hi Silvia, the Solar Fire and White Currants have been duds here so far, lots of blooms but no fruit set...night temps here still above 82-83. Only the Sara's Galapagos have set fruit so it's probably a variant that the Everglades comes from. I'm ready to try the callaloo, I can probably grow it year around here, can you send me some seeds? Is it like amaranth? Kazillions of small black seeds from a fuzzy flower pod? Tom |
- Posted by amberroses 9b-Pinellas Co. (My Page) on Thu, Sep 1, 11 at 19:41
That's disappointing about Solar Fire Tom. I thought the whole point of Solar Fire was it claimed heat tolerance? |
Things that are working out for me at this time of year are Diva peppers, basil, and that's really about it. I have sweet potatoes that I'm waiting to harvest, I have some malabar spinach which is a bit slimy, and I have some kale plants that are still alive. My theory is that I've kept them alive by leaving only two or three leaves on them at a time. Sylvia, I've been wanting to ask you about fertilizing. How much, and what kind? I've been here 4 years now, but I still don't know where that line between too much and too little is. I've been using a dry organic fertilizer that I mix into my pots. Maybe about a half handful per 1 gal pot. I also seem to have a tendency to overwater, so I start out with the smaller pots. I grow most of my veggies in pots... Jenny |
Hi Tom I just walked around the garden after the rain and I notice that few tomatoes are setting fruit, the cherries, estiva and some hearts like Monokah Hat. tomatoes are getting tall Monokah Hat Estiva Some black variety And of course I can send you some seeds, callaloo is an amaranth so I believe that you are familiar with the growth habits and production, lol. In my experience I found that is too productive and I can not give away to anybody because they are not familiar with it. Hi Amber, I hope that all your crops are doing well and that fall comes soon.:) Silvia |
Hi Jenny When you grow in pots is a different type of growing like in a raised bed or soil. It also depends on what mix you are using to apply fertilizers, also depending on what crop you are growing. Regular bagged mixes have some fertilizers added that you can also supplement for heavy feeders such as tomatoes. I use Al' mix that you probably heard about it, if not it is in the container forum. I also add liquid fertilizers again depending on the veggie and what stage of development is for example for tomatoes I only apply in the beginning a nitrogen based fert, when flowers or fruit a low nitrogen one. I have few products that I use very diluted so they last a long time. Silvia |
- Posted by AmberBrook 9 (My Page) on Thu, Sep 1, 11 at 22:22
Silvia, I'd love to try growing some of the callaloo too, if you or Maxine have some extra seeds to share. It sounds like a great alternative to spinach. |
...damn. I tried to grow Russian Black Prince in the spring. I got a whopping 2 pieces of fruit. |
Amber, if Maxine does not get back to you, I will save some seeds for you, however I warn you when planting greens they have to be picked often otherwise they can get buggy. Callaloo are one of those very productive! it can feed with greens a whole family, when I tried to give them away nobody took them because they don't know them or how to cook them.-( Cammunizm, next time when we have a garden party, maybe you can come to meet other gardeners. Today I am going to visit the hydroponics store to see what is new and after that Vietnamese food, one of my favorites! but not the durian drink,lol. Silvia |
Doh! I meant Marconi, not Diva peppers. Diva is on my mind because I'm trying it out. I'm near Tavares. Zone 9b is a guess based on survival rates. Al's mix is a revelation, I'm going to get some pine fines ASAP! Thanks so much for all the great advice. Jenny |
About the callaloo if you want to grow it, don't blame me because it is too productive and you can not keep with the harvest,lol Send me some seeds girl, I'll see if I can tame it some in containers ;-) Tom |
- Posted by seedsnsprouts 9 - Space Coast (My Page) on Fri, Sep 2, 11 at 20:06
Jenny, Are your Marconi's mature or are they seedlings? I'm trying them for the first time and started some seeds a couple months ago. Had some problems with germination but they are finally growing...just not quite ready for the garden yet. If yours are mature are you happy with their production? Julie |
- Posted by Minderella 9 Lake County Florid (My Page) on Fri, Sep 2, 11 at 20:54
Jenny I live in Astatula. Where in Tavares do you live? That is cool someone from near me is on here. Mindy K. |
Yesterday I was very busy at the organic/hydroponics store and bought the usual products for the garden, they gave me some huge products to try and give them some feedback about how they work. They are liquid, organic fertilizers. And after that I went to the Vietnamese restaurant where I had with my food the best mint I ever had sort of red leaves with green, I got a piece of it and I hope it survives, when talking there he said that is used as a medicine and gave me the recipe to try, it is a combo of herbs steamed. Then we talk about gardening in Vietnam and in Florida, very interesting. Jenny - I use the 5-1-1 mix for all the container veggies, and add very diluted liquid fertilizers as needed. I am also growing Marconi peppers they do well here. Here is a mix of peppers, some are the marconi Tom - I will mail you the seeds, if you grow them in the container, they will do well for you, just remember they self seed and are about 4 feet tall, they don't need staking but if you worry about the wind you can probably put a tomato cage for support. Julie - marconi peppers do well, if you put them in pots you can protect them when is cold. Silvia |
Ca Tom - I will mail you the seeds, if you grow them (callaloo) in the container, they will do well for you, just remember they self seed and are about 4 feet tall, they don't need staking but if you worry about the wind you can probably put a tomato cage for support. Thanks Silvia, I can't wait to try them ;-) If yours (Marconi peppers) are mature are you happy with their production? Julie, The Giant Marconi Hybrid is the one that is most productive, but NOT this time of year yet, still too hot unless they are carry-overs from last year, and if so the peppers will be small unless they received supplemental nutrients. Start them now and carry them over to the spring, if not in an area where they get baked by the summer sun they will actually last through the summer such that you'll get TWO or THREE years out of them.... Tom |

I tried growing Black Krim tomatoes in the spring and they do set fruits in the heat! their taste is very simialar to Cherokee purple. |
My Marconi's are mature -- and yes, I'm very happy with their production. They've produced all summer. I have about 7 plants and we've have a pepper or two for our lunchtime salad pretty much every day all summer. I got the seeds from Southern Seed Exchange. I'd love to know where to get Giant Marconi Hybrid seeds (or do you think they're the same). I also have some California bell peppers that carried over from last year. They weren't nearly as productive. Mindy, I live near-ish Deer Island. I've driven through Astatula to the post office, it's a nice area. |
- Posted by seedsnsprouts 9 - Space Coast (My Page) on Sun, Sep 4, 11 at 20:09
Thanks all for the info on the Marconi's. We've had decent luck with several variety of hot peppers but almost zero luck with any kind of traditional Bells so this fall I went with Marconi's as a test (Heirlooms from Baker Creek). We just set most of them in the garden over the last two weekends. We also have hoops over our beds and can cover with shade cloth or freeze fabric if the weather turns wicked like it did last December. We were just discussing the shade cloth the other day. It may be in order for the next few weeks until the sun turns off it's "Broil" setting. :) Julie |
Tom ...the Solar Fire and White Currants have been duds here so far, lots of blooms but no fruit set...night temps here still above 82-83. Only the Sara's Galapagos have set fruit so it's probably a variant that the Everglades comes from. Amber That's disappointing about Solar Fire Tom. I thought the whole point of Solar Fire was it claimed heat tolerance? Hi Amber, somehow I missed your post. I'm done trying these things that are supposed to set fruit on blooms here when the temps are above 73F at night, they just don't work. Today I pulled the all the Solar Fire, White Currant and left only one Sara's Galapagos...I'll put my broccoli starts in those container soils since broccoli doesn't seem to be affected by nightshade plant soils :-) Tom |
Sorry to hear about your tomatoes Tom, more of mine are setting fruit so it must be getting cooler in my area. Today it was a very busy day, had friends over at the house to celebrate the harvest from the garden. We made 2 desserts one was a meyer lemon tart And the other a strawberry pavlova with mint After showing them the garden we had a big splash! at least I did not have to water,lol. Silvia |

Beautiful pictures and garden. You really have green thumbs. I noticed you ladies chatting about Seminole pumpkin so I am writing with a question hoping that you may know the answer: I got some of the prized seeds and planted them at the beginning of last Summer. The plant exploded covering half of my yard gave lots of beautiful flowers and started on dozens on pumpkins. Every time those pumpkins were the size of an apricot/peach they would yellow and ultimately fall off. The plant itself looked very vigourous. I ended up working out of town for almost two month and when I came back, the vine was still going strong and found ONE pumpkin the size of an apricot:-) Any ideas as to what may have been happening? Can Seminole pumpkin be planted now or I have to wait again until Spring? Thanks a million for any ideas. |
Hi Alexcortex Thank you. From what you said it looks that they were not getting pollinated, usually this happens at the beginning of the season and then they produce. Did you amend the soil, where did you get the seeds? if the vines were strong they probably had enough water. The vines also took over in my small garden And here are some seminole pumpkins And today I am eating my first ripe tomatoes Golden Grape Silvia |

Can the callaloo be eaten raw? Or only cooked? Does it taste like spinach still when raw? |
Sun worshiper I only had callaloo cooked, that is how is used on the Islands. In the recipes they always soak it in salted water before preparing. Since I don't know any one eating raw I have not tried the taste. When cooked it is milder and softer than spinach. Sometimes you can find callaloo in the West Caribbean market fresh or in a can. It is for sure the easiest thing to grow. Silvia |
Here is a link that might be useful: callaloo
Two green thumbs up Silvia, as usual your food pictures are to die for! I don't need to say anything about the garden; it always speaks for itself ;-) Tom |
- Posted by gardengimp 9B Seminole Cnty FL (My Page) on Mon, Sep 12, 11 at 19:00
Angela, callaloo is edible leaf amaranth. There are many varieties of amaranth, and some are more suited to eating the greens. Quote "The youngest leaves have a milder flavour and are good to use in salads, the mature leaves are better cooked like spinach. Anything you would use spinach for, just use amaranth leaves exactly the same way." The best leaf amaranth I've found for salad thus far is the Tenderleaf from Evergreen. ~dianne |
Here is a link that might be useful: Amaranth
Hi Tom, thank you. I made up the recipe for the pork and came out really good! I hope that I can re create it again,lol. I am harvesting black jungle butterbeans this week I like them because I can freeze what I don't eat And I am getting winter squash Sapodilla is getting ripe Silvia |
I recently purchased a plant labeled "Chinese Spinach" from ECHO. Does anyone know if this is Callaloo or another type of Amaranth? I emailed ECHO twice but didn't get a response. |

Hi all; I'm in Central Florida - has anyone noticed their seedlings outdoors getting scorched by the sun? I'm having a really bad time this year with that... |
Fruitguy - Chinese spinach is considered an edible amaranth, I am including the link. Flmamabear - Which type of seedlings are getting scorched? did you harden them off before putting them in full sun? if you give more info maybe we can help. Silvia |

Sylvia: Thanks for the info on the Seminole and the beautiful pictures. I planted the three remaining seeds I have and one is a few inches long so hopefully it will survive. I will try feeding more often to see if it makes a difference. The pumpkins were actually forming then falling of so I did not have issue with flowering or pollination.. but the plants were possibly weak. About callaloo/amaranth leaves: There are many varieties and I have eating raw the 4/5 that I planted. All nice in salad and the larger ones can be used as a wrap. I even got my mom to cook them as grape leaves rolls and they were delicious. There are tons of recipes out there using amaranth leaves. One way to find them is to look up recipes using the Indian names. Apparently there are different names in different provinces: Thotakura is one that is used (Just search for Thotakura in google pictures and click on the picture that you like which will most of the time lead you to a recipe - Somehow the link will not work). Amaranth leaves is also very similar to a Middle Eastern green called Molokhiah aka Mulukhiyah aka... So any recipe for Molokhiah can be used with amaranth. About amaranth seeds: I planted several varieties last year but the one that was most amazing came out of seeds I bought from the bulk bin at Who le Foods. I am pretty sure it was Golden Giant Amaranth and it was incredible. There were enough leaves to feed me, the neighbors, freeze, and an army of butterflies. At the end I was left with huge heads that must have each carried a pound or more of grains. Sadly they got hit by some fungus at the end of season and I was too exhausted with work and all to care so I left them die. And all I had was 6 stalks! I heartily recommend planting callaloo to all. At least to feed the butterflies/ as a trap plant. If you plant it in a corner or a bed by itself most likely it will self seed endlessly. That is what my wild calallo does and I mostly use it for greens for my compost pile (decadent I know) and never have to feed it. |
- Posted by alexcortez (My Page) on Sat, Oct 1, 11 at 23:23
This is a recipe that fascinates me although I never used it:-) The two main ingredients are callaloo, which obviously grows in abundance here, and pigeon pea flour, which makes a fantastic Summer crop (My 5 seeds grew with zero care and made about 1/2 pound of beans). |
Here is a link that might be useful: Callaloo recipe
Hi Alexcortex Thank you for sharing your experience with amaranth leaves and the recipes. Silvia |
I have some callaloo that Tom gave me. They are in a container in my pool enclosure and are starting to bloom. Will they self-pollinate, or should I put them outside where the pollinatiors can get to them? I want to save viable seed. |
Shuffles - If you want them reseeding in the containers, just shake the blossoms and they will. If you want to save seed to be planted other time, just cut and save the dried blooms whole in a paper bag. When is time to plant them again, just shake the flowers... Make some pepperpot soup with the leaves, you can use meat, chicken, or just veggies.:) Silvia |

Calculator Case Turns Your Modern Gadgets Into Retro Tech
At first glance, you might think you were looking at a cheap old-school calculator. But a quick double-take reveals that this is actually a case for your 21st-century gadgets.
This faux solar calculator case is handmade by CB Sew, and looks exactly like the calculator that I used to have before I gave up on these things and started using computers – although mine didn't even do square roots or percent calculations. This particular calculator/case will hold most modern gadgets including iPhones, iPod Classics, iPod Touches, the Zune HD and even the Palm Pre, among others. About the only thing it won't do is spell out dirty words on its LCD screen when you turn it upside-down.
Want one? Head over to CB Sew's Etsy shop, and grab one for just $20 bucks.

The Grey Magazine The Shrink Is In editorial is primarily focused upon doctor-patient relations, revealed in part by its provocative title.
Model Constance Jablonski assumes the role of patient here as she appears to be markedly distraught in these Spring/Summer 2013 images. Photographer Chadwick Tyler captured Jablonski's raw emotions which were furthered by make up artist Chiho Omae's expertise.
Omae placed dark circles around Jablonski's eyes, making it appear as if she hadn't slept in days. Jablonski's troubled and often vacant stares indicated just as much, speaking to her talent and ability to relay heavy themes via fashionable productions. Stylist Valentina Ilardi Martin contributed to this very theme with body suits, strap dresses and one piece suits.

VIENNA, VA,May 1, 2013 — OK, all you folks who wing down or drive to Louisville, KY for the Derby, plan to come a few days early and check out things to do before you head to Churchill Downs.
Louisville is a beautiful city on the Ohio River, with an honest to goodness skyline with big, tall and pretty buildings and lots to see.
First go down to Main Street, about two blocks from the River, and see the large, make that HUGE, Louisville Slugger baseball bat standing up beside a building, a museum you just cannot miss. It is interesting and well done. Nearby is the Frazier Arms Museum, site of weaponry from medieval times to the present, a fascinating place.
You will also pass the Kentucky Art Center, but it is doubtful you will have time to catch a play.
For eating, Proof on Main is a good restaurant that is close by. Also close by is 21C Boutique Hotel and Restaurant, where a small museum, interesting décor and other fine things can be found, including the food.
Further down Fourth Street, or Muhammad Ali Blvd., is Kunz's, the Dutchman restaurant. It is ancient by today's standards, but with excellent German food and super great steaks. Reservations are hard to come by on this the busiest time of the year, but you can always ask.
And be sure to save a night for a good dinner at "Vincenzo's" at Sixth and Main Street, the crème de la crème of downtown dining. Fantastically lovely, the food is the best in town with Chef Agostino Gabriele doing the actual cooking and his brother Vincenzo Gabriele at the door to welcome you.
You will never be a stranger again after dining there. All items are cooked to order and are truly wonderful. Start out with steak tartare, usually prepared tableside unless they are too busy, and do end your meal with Mousse a la Chocolat. Then waddle or bounce back to your motel or hotel.
One of the best museums you will find anywhere is the Churchill Downs Museum located, of course, out at the Downs. Many of us can recall going there perfunctorily several years ago and coming out overwhelmed.
Churchill Downs Museum is perfectly done. It is beautifully designed and executed. You can even have your picture taken beside a fully saddled horse statue. And do not forget the excellent gift shop with the restaurant located inside, which has super good food as well.
For those not wanting to fight traffic and parking on race day, there are shuttle buses and city buses at selected sites around the city and downtown, which for a nominal fee, will deliver you to the very gates of the Downs.
They run frequently, are clean and quiet and, trust me, everyone with any sense rides them. Go dressed to the nines or in casual attire and you will do just fine.
People ask about the attire and that is easy. Make it summery and bright, loud sport coats or even louder slacks for the guys, although some will belie their age and try the Bermuda shorts style although it is rather passé now. The ladies still wear their finest styles of dress, sun dresses, regular "party" dresses, casual ones — you are bound to see it all.
And the hats are de rigeur, as bright and wild as you like, just remember that there is always the chance of rain so stick a big plastic baggie in your purse or bag just in case – hair dries, fancy hats do not. And do not wear anything you will not mind having the customary mint julep spilled on. Also, one of those small tote umbrellas is a good idea in case of rain as well.
Betting is up to you. Some folks go to great efforts figuring out the lineage of the horse, his or her past performance, the races run, the trainer, owner, the color silks, and most of all the jockey. But do remember, it is a high-strung, hard working horse, and it all depends on how the horse feels that day. Just do not bet more than you can afford to lose, and do not drink more than you can safely handle. If you drive, do not drink at all. Police will be everywhere.
Just like any other large tourist attraction, which is what this day has become, everything costs money, from the souvenirs and the programs to the mint juleps. Early in the week, a great steamboat race is held on the Ohio River, a parade down the main street, "Thunder Over Louisville" was last week with fireworks, and plane acrobatics, darn it, though sequestration probably eliminated most of the latter. Save it for next year and come early!
There is something for everyone, and if you get tired of all of that, check out one of the numerous malls or go out to Locust Grove, the National Historic Register site once owned by William and Lucy Clark. He was the brother-in-law of George Rogers Clark, founder of Louisville. A peaceful May stroll around the grounds is just wonderful.
The friendly folks in Louisville, the Southern atmosphere that still prevails and the diversity of the City will pleasantly surprise you. So come for the races and come back for the rest of Louisville. And be sure to learn how pronounce the city's name. Locally and even most announcers on national networks have now been taught: it is "Lou-ah-vul."
Even sounds great. Have a wonderful time, you all.

Changes for the 2015 Annual Meeting
Selected Papers on Ancient Art and Architecture [SPAAA] is a new, peer-reviewed, annual series published by the Archaeological Institute of America, with the support of the Samuel H. Kress Foundation. SPAAA will showcase innovative, interdisciplinary, and methodologically sophisticated scholarship presented at the AIA Annual Meeting. Individual presenters or entire panels may be invited by the Editorial Board to submit their papers for consideration. All contributions will be subjected to a blind review process and judged on their individual merit. Papers selected for publication may be revised but not substantially expanded. Because of the short production time, contributors must commit to a strict schedule of deadlines. The printed volume will be available for purchase at the following Annual Meeting, and online through open access and print on demand.
Questions about SPAAA may be directed to the Series Editor, Mireille M. Lee (email@example.com).
The Program Committee has updated the requirements for workshops. Workshops are meant to be flexible in ways that colloquia and general sessions are not, allowing time and space for participant and audience interaction, including debate and discussion, and audience participation, including hands-on activities and small-group work. There are now two proposed formats that an organizer can choose from: Forum or Demonstration. Full details on each type can be found in the workshop section of the Session formats page. Organizers are required to indicate thier format choice on the submission form.
The Program committe requests that presenters only list their primary affiliation as it relates to the paper or poster they are presenting. If multiple affiliations are submitted, only the first will be listed in the meeting materials. Affiliations should also not include a university department, but may include a center or institute. Please contact the AIA with any questions concerning how your affiliation should be listed.
It is extremely important to take into account all of the timing for paper presentation, presenter changeover, introductions and discussion when assembling an organized session. All colloquia need to account for a 10 minute introduction. We also include 5 minutes between each paper for speaker changeover and a 15 minute break for sessions of four or more papers. 15 minutes will be added to any session that includes a discussant. The maximum number of discussants allowed in a colloquium is two. For a session with seven papers there are 65 minutes built into the program to accommodate these. Please be sure to request the proper amount of time for each speaker. Sessions with seven papers requesting 20 minutes each will not fit into the schedule. The PAMC will request timing changes to any accepted sessions that are over time. If you have any questions about the time your session will require please contact us at email@example.com.

You've Got to See This Bathroom Decorated With Ryan Gosling's Face
Decorate your walls with everyone's favorite heartthrob.
By Sarah Yang
This is taking the celebrity shrine to the next level. A women's bathroom stall in a San Diego restaurant, Bang Bang, is covered with photos of Ryan Gosling. And it's a huge step up from your average teenage girl's bedroom. The stall is actually wallpapered with photos of the actor — so no pages ripped out of a magazine and taped haphazardly to the walls here.
If you're a fan of The Notebook star, better plot your next trip to San Diego soon, before there's an even longer line for this bathroom. If this isn't the best restaurant marketing idea ever, we don't know what is.

Behind the National Quartet Convention Feed, Part 2
Dec 19, 2013 10:22 AM, With Bennett Liles
Just in case. So what does the 256-input Studer Vista 9 console have that made it a good fit for the Vibration truck? That's a big investment and the main feature of the new sound truck.
It is. It's by far the main feature and I tell you, when you get into the kind of console level that the Studer Vista 9 is, they have everything. Really what's more important to me, beyond the basic feature sets, are the familiarity of the audio-mixing community with that desk. What I did was I reached out to a number of lead audio engineers and I said, "If you had all the money in the world, what desk would you pick for your primary desk?" I'm the first to admit they didn't all list the Vista as their first choice, but I tell you, it was in every single audio engineer's top three. Many of them did mention it first. And the fact that it's familiar to the audio-mixing community is a huge plus, because if the freelance teams don't buy off on it, it's not worth the money to me. A second very big reason I picked it was the fact that I grew up using Studer hardware. We had Studer consoles at the college I attended, and the fact that 15 or 20 years ago that was the first choice, means to me that they have the staying power, that they're going to be in business for a long time, and I can expect support from them. The other reason was our other three HD video trucks with audio suites all feature consoles that are also manufactured by the Harman line, so the parts are interchangeable. I feel very comfortable saying that every TV truck that we have in Nashville has a desk manufactured by the Harman Corp. On top of that, it comes down to usability. You know, the Studer desk has taken into account what the user experience is mixing. You know, when you have a desk that's 8ft. long, simple things like the fact that you can color-code your channel strips with LED lighting, and you can group your channel strips with their Vista fader glow technology, it seems like a small detail, but when you're working in this truck for hours and hours on end, it's some of the ergonomic things that stand out. The fact that the desk was built for a user to sit and work for four or five or six hours in a row without a break tells me that they really put the user in mind. Does it sound good? Yes. Does the EQ in realtime waveform display impress me? Absolutely. But those are features I would expect on any console at this level. What I'm looking for is what Studer does above and beyond the other desks, and that was the features as well. [Timestamp: 6:57]
And those very useful features don't come from guys in lab coats at the company. Those come from the guys out there on the road and it says something good about Studer when they listen to the actual operators and incorporate their ideas.
One of my favorite stories is we had the Final Four basketball tournament was in Atlanta this past year, and luckily one of our trucks was able to go and provide facilities for that show. One of the featured performers was Sting. You know, Sting is a pretty well-known performer who can pretty much have his choice of whatever hardware he wants. So I went to the front-of-house position to meet with Sting's touring engineer, and he had a Vista. His was the Studer Vista 5. And I complimented him on the desk and I said I thought it looked like a real robust piece of gear, and I could tell he had a bit of an attitude about his Studer. He said, "Yeah, it's a very high-end piece of equipment." I said, "Yeah, it's cute. I thought about the Vista 5, but I went ahead and got the big one. You know, we own a Vista 9. I'd love to show it to you." And the look on his face, I don't think he was prepared for the 34-year-old kid to one-up him with a console much larger than his, but I think I earned a certain level of respect from Sting's front-of-house engineer when he found out that we had the console that was even fancier than his. [Timestamp: 8:09]
Well, you run into that in a lot of places and you really get around with those trucks and you have to coordinate a lot of people. How many people do you have on the whole crew for this particular event?
You know, the TNDV staff, our full-time engineers, we have 16 members in Nashville, but we would be nothing without our network of freelance support staff, and of course there's hundreds of those folks around the country. But for the NQC show, our team leader was Russ Hall, who was the director and producer, and Russ is an outstanding leader not only in assembling the crew but in communicating effectively on the show side of what he wants out of that crew. In the truck, on average there are about 10 folks in the video truck and about three folks in the audio truck, plus your camera operators on top of that. It's not unusual to have between 20 and 25 people on the video crew at all times, not to mention the additional support staff in the building that's just there to help the video team. [There was] a team the size of about 25 folks on average for the days of the NQC conference. [Timestamp: 9:12]
And that's a lot of people who have to be able to communicate effectively and not have it turn into the Tower of Babel. How did you have the channel assignment laid out? You had camera people and recording people?
We did. You know, we're very proud of our intercom infrastructure. I think it's a basic requirement that a video truck has a robust intercom, but in addition to that, our Vibration audio truck also has an 80-port matrix intercom system from RTS. Our audio truck has a bigger intercom system than many video trucks. What that allows us to do is build party-line infrastructure. We typically have six party lines that anybody can jump on, and that's so that the cameras can have their own channel. Audio, lighting, stage, producers, all these people can have their own channels and then we typically also build an engineering channel for any problems with gear or technical issues, and that's, again, all the party-line channels. In addition to that, because it's a matrix channel, we can also have what we refer to as point-to-point channels. If I want the director to be able to talk only to a producer and nobody else can hear, I can build custom point-to-point channels infinitely between these user stations, and in this case, between the two trucks. Six party-line channels plus another 20 or 30 point-to-point matrix channels gave us an intercom infrastructure that let us speak to everybody, or nobody, depending. We can be very selective about the groups or individuals we want to talk to from each individual user station. [Timestamp: 10:41]
And a lot of thought and planning has to go into who can talk to which people and who should not have to hear various things. The same thing goes with the routing of the video and sound, and I think you use the Harris Platinum routing system on the truck.
We do. All of our video routing and all of our multi-viewers, the single-screen versions of multiple cameras, is provided by the Harris Platinum router. We also have the HView multi-viewer option. What that does is allow us to route to things like our video-record machine to our house feed so we can route the web feed independently of the screens feed, any monitors within the truck—you know, the monitors at the producer's desk, the monitors on the monitor wall, everything is fed by that Harris router and it allows us to create quick and easy routable destinations that can change on the fly. [Timestamp: 11:28]
And you're doing so many different video feeds. I think the last time we talked about your cameras I believe you were mentioning the multiple the tallies on them.
They have not only multiple tallies to let the camera operators know when they're either on the screens or on the broadcast feed, but they also have multiple return inputs. If we need to feed a camera operator program in one return and maybe the football game, if they want to keep up with the score, in return two, our cameras actually have the ability to take up to eight different return video signals back from the truck. [Timestamp: 11:57]
And all of that is one big machine to get going. Once you have all that stuff connected how long does it take to fax everything out and be ready for rehearsals?
It actually doesn't take long, because what we've done is we've gone to great expense to get the truck wired so that when it parks and powers up on a show site, other than setting up the camera physically, it's ready to go. All this infrastructure is wired and tested and really never changes. We just have to make sure that everything works per location. As you pointed out, we do a facilities check and that typically takes about an hour to go camera to camera and test all the different features, but it's because it's all wired up and pre-tested before we ever show up on site. [Timestamp: 12:34]
Well, I know big shows like that are fun but you're going full speed all the time. Thanks for giving us the behind the scenes look at that one, Nic. What's coming up next for TNDV?
Toward the end of the year is just when it starts getting good for us because this is the start of awards season. We'll be producing the Dove Awards for the Gospel Music Channel. We'll be providing facilities for the CMA Awards in Nashville. We'll be doing the red carpet special for the Great American Country Network. We'll also be doing live web streaming for the CMA organization itself. We have the Nashville Songwriters' Association Awards coming up, and we're already in early preproduction for the Midsouth Regional Emmy Awards, which is a live television awards show that we produce for people in the television industry with one of our HD trucks. So still lots cooking for the end of 2013. [Timestamp: 13:21]
Okay. No time to calm down from the National Quartet Convention before you're back on the road and right into the next remote. Nic, thanks for telling us about this one and you guys keep up the good work.
Thanks very much. I appreciate you calling.

American Standard Version (ASV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 These things spake Jesus; and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that the son may glorify thee: | 1 After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: "Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. |
2 even as thou gavest him authority over all flesh, that to all whom thou hast given him, he should give eternal life. | 2 For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. |
3 And this is life eternal, that they should know thee the only true God, and him whom thou didst send, [even] Jesus Christ. | 3 Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. |
4 I glorified thee on the earth, having accomplished the work which thou hast given me to do. | 4 I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do. |
5 And now, Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. | 5 And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began. |
6 I manifested thy name unto the men whom thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them to me; and they have kept thy word. | 6 "I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word. |
7 Now they know that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are from thee: | 7 Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you. |
8 for the words which thou gavest me I have given unto them; and they received [them], and knew of a truth that I came forth from thee, and they believed that thou didst send me. | 8 For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me. |
9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for those whom thou hast given me; for they are thine: | 9 I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours. |
10 and all things that are mine are thine, and thine are mine: and I am glorified in them. | 10 All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to me through them. |
11 And I am no more in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name which thou hast given me, that they may be one, even as we [are]. | 11 I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name--the name you gave me--so that they may be one as we are one. |
12 While I was with them, I kept them in thy name which thou hast given me: and I guarded them, and not one of them perished, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. | 12 While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled. |
13 But now I come to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy made full in themselves. | 13 "I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them. |
14 I have given them thy word; and the world hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. | 14 I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. |
15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them from the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil [one]. | 15 My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. |
16 They are not of the world even as I am not of the world. | 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. |
17 Sanctify them in the truth: thy word is truth. | 17 Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. |
18 As thou didst send me into the world, even so sent I them into the world. | 18 As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. |
19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth. | 19 For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified. |
20 Neither for these only do I pray, but for them also that believe on me through their word; | 20 "My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, |
21 that they may all be one; even as thou, Father, [art] in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us: that the world may believe that thou didst send me. | 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. |
22 And the glory which thou hast given me I have given unto them; that they may be one, even as we [are] one; | 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: |
23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that thou didst send me, and lovedst them, even as thou lovedst me. | 23 I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. |
24 Father, I desire that they also whom thou hast given me be with me where I am, that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. | 24 "Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world. |
25 O righteous Father, the world knew thee not, but I knew thee; and these knew that thou didst send me; | 25 "Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. |
26 and I made known unto them thy name, and will make it known; that the love wherewith thou lovedst me may be in them, and I in them. | 26 I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them." |

Winter Seed Sowing/Hardwood Cuttings Saturday January 5, 2013, 10 AM to Noon (indoors) Right after the holidays in the cold dark of winter, we get together with our treasure troves of seeds, and dirt and pots and labels, to winter-sow perennials, trees, shrubs. These pots of seeds then go outside for cold treatment which breaks the seeds' dormancy. You won't believe the great results! Come spring they germinate in profusion. For this event, potting soil is provided. Bring your pots, seeds, labels to share. This year we will propagate hardwood cuttings of various native and ornamental shrubs. You can also divide and repot houseplants at this event. |

Thank you, Jim ... for hosting us, providing compost, pots, & showing us an easy way to root cuttings. I'm glad I had the seeds you wanted & look forward to a seedling in June. Thanks to those who came with an assortment of cuttings especially the evergreens! It was well worth the time to attend once again even if I didn't plant a single seed. Those cuttings commanded my full attention. Great tip from Jim to put on the north side of the house to give more rooting time in late spring. This Green Elephant group is the best thing that happened to our gardens! Corrine (& James) |

Alternate Universe
December 1, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
A Universe is a set of photons that interact together, and which do NOT interact, generally, with photons of other universes which have other characteristics. This might better be said to be the spason of the universe that interact determine the characteristics of the universe, but since they determine the properties of the photons. This then amounts to the same thing.Theoretical physics has brought us the notion that our single universe is not necessarily the only game in town. Satellite data from WMAP, along with string theory and its 11- dimensional hyperspace idea has produced the concept of the multiverse, where the Big Bang could have produced many different universes instead of a single uniform universe. The idea has gained popularity recently, so it was only a matter of time until someone asked the question of how many multiverses could possibly exist. The number, according to two physicists, could be "humongous."
Andrei Linde and Vitaly Vanchurin at Stanford University in California, did a few back-of- the- envelope calculations, starting with the idea that the Big Bang was essentially a quantum process which generated quantum fluctuations in the state of the early universe. The universe then underwent a period of rapid growth called inflation during which these perturbations were "frozen," creating different initial classical conditions in different parts of the cosmos. Since each of these regions would have a different set of laws of low energyphysics, they can be thought of as different universes.
Linde and Vanchurin then estimated how many different universes could have appeared as a result of this effect. Their answer is that this number must be proportional to the effect that caused the perturbations in the first place, a process called slow roll inflation, — the solution Linde came up with previously to answer the problem of the bubbles of universes colliding in the early inflation period. In this model, inflation occurred from a scalar field rolling down a potential energy hill. When the field rolls very slowly compared to the expansion of the universe, inflation occurs and collisions end up being rare.
Using all of this (and more – see their paper here) Linde and Vanchurin calculate that the number of universes in the multiverse and could be at least 10^10^10^7, a number which is definitely "humungous," as they described it.
The next question, then, is how many universes could we actually see? Linde and Vanchurin say they had to invoke the Bekenstein limit, where the properties of the observer become an important factor because of a limit to the amount of information that can be contained within any given volume of space, and by the limits of the human brain.
The total amount of information that can be absorbed by one individual during a lifetime is about 10^16 bits. So a typical human brain can have 10^10^16 configurations and so could never distinguish more than that number of different universes.
Given some of science's current ideas about high-energy physics, it is plausible that those other universes might each have different physical interactions. So perhaps it's no mystery that we would happen to occupy the rare universe in which conditions are just right to make life possible. This is analogous to how, out of the many planets in our universe, we occupy the rare one where conditions are right for organic evolution.
The possibility of a multiverse comes from both string theory and inflation theory, the idea that our universe underwent a rapid expansion just after the Big Bang. Inflation theory does a good job of explaining why space is fairly smooth on large scales, but researchers can't explain what started the expansion and what stopped it. These problems have led physicists to consider the possibility that inflation could occur at other places and times, generating new universes in addition to our own.
The idea of a multiverse is highly controversial. One problem is metaphysical: the universe seems big already, without having to contend with a potentially infinite number of others. Yet perhaps a bigger problem is scientific. If observations are limited to our own observable universe, how can scientists test whether a bigger multiverse exists? The answer to that has been that, from time to time, another universe in the multiverse might collide through ours, leaving a "wake" in its path. But figuring out precisely what such a wake would look like hasn't been easy.
Now, however, Kris Sigurdson of the University of British Columbia in Vancouver and others say they have calculated the detailed features of a cosmic wake. They have considered the possibility that our universe collided with another before our inflation period, because, they say, the latter would have erased the wake's evidence. Even though this happened more than 13 billion years ago, the wake would have been preserved in the cosmic microwave background (CMB), which was formed some 380,000 years into the universe's existence.
The focus of the prediction is in the polarization of photons in the CMB. Photons have two transverse polarization states, and any that come from a certain region in the CMB might be mostly in the same polarization state, or in a mix of both. Sigurdson and colleagues calculate that, providing the wake was big enough, it ought to imprint the CMB with a characteristic "double peak": two close rings where the photons sway towards a single polarization state.
The prediction is not strictly the first to arise from multiverse theory. In 2007 researchers at the University of California at Santa Cruz, US, also suggested that a cosmic wake could imprint itself on the CMB; then, earlier this year, a group led by Hiranya Peiris of University College London found hints that this prediction was true. But these predicted features were too vague, say Sigurdson and colleagues, and might have existed in the CMB anyway.
Evidence for string theory?
"[Our] features represent the first verifiable prediction of the multiverse paradigm," write Sigurdson and colleagues in their preprint, which they uploaded to the arXiv server last month. "A detection of a bubble collision would confirm the existence of the multiverse, provide compelling evidence for the string theory landscape, and sharpen out picture of the universe and its origins."Physics World was unable to speak to the researchers about their preprint because they are submitting it to a journal that employs an embargo policy.
If the prediction is correct, it should be possible to test it in upcoming data from the European Space Agency's Planck space observatory and future CMB missions, say the researchers. Yet Bennett, the principal investigator on NASA's Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe, another CMB space observatory, thinks the detection of a cosmic wake would nonetheless be "extremely unlikely". He says the amplitude of a wake would have to be just right: too small and we wouldn't see it; too big and it would probably have had severe consequences for our universe's structure. The number of collisions would also have to be "fine-tuned", he says.

In the business world, meeting customer demand is Priority One. When buyers want your product, you must deliver on a timely basis and in a cost-effective manner while assuring operational quality along the way. For those who fail in any of these measures, and especially for those who repeat an unsatisfactory performance, their price will be paid down the road when customers stop ordering their product.
Hence, the needs of the customer outweigh the wants of anything else ... and that includes in-house transitions — like moving into new plants — whose required equipment shutdowns and subsequent restarts take time and care. Their disruption to a production schedule can be devastating if not coordinated strategically by professionals with a keen sense of how to balance downtime with product numbers.
Any manufacturer who has relocated an operation to a new building, whether local or to another region, is well aware of the complexities.
Whirlpool Cleveland Division is one such example.
The longtime assembler of premium cooking products is nearing the completion of an exhausting move from its aging, century-old set of buildings just a stone's throw from downtown to a shining — and most importantly, modern — factory at the junction of Benton Pike and Durkee Road.
Original plans called for Whirlpool to have completed the relocation by mid-2013, but a nice "problem" surfaced. Customers fell in love all over again with some of the company's redesigned products — such as those built at the Cleveland location. Even "Consumer Reports" — the so-called "buyer's Bible" — gave some of the appliance models top rankings.
These favorable reviews led to even heavier customer orders. And in the appliance manufacturing world, an unwritten code suggests, " ... When a product is hot, do nothing to hinder its production." Taking down the assembly line that builds the product — even for just a few days — would be such a hindrance. Subsequently, these physical moves can be achieved only through extraordinary means: adding shifts to take up the slack of a line's downtime, employee overtime and shifting maintenance technician gears into overdrive.
All must be done efficiently. All must be done effectively. All must be done safely.
While the new Whirlpool plant is churning out thousands of appliance units daily, just seven miles away — as the crow flies — four assembly lines continue to operate out of the old manufacturing site's Plant 1 facility.
Yet another complication in completing the move is the Cleveland facility is working closely with a sister cooking products plant in Tulsa, Okla., which is preparing to take production of a redesigned slide-in range currently built in Cleveland. In return, the Cleveland division should be receiving new products of its own in the future.
Plant manager Dicky Walters explained the process in a recent interview with our newspaper that was published in the Sept. 16 edition.
"As was announced last fall to our employees, the redesigned slide-ins will not be redesigned for a Cleveland chassis, and therefore production of slide-ins [will] eventually leave Cleveland," he said. "At that time, it was also announced that we would continue to build our current slide-ins for some time and, as always, continue to evaluate other opportunities and products that could be made here in Cleveland."
Anyone who believes moving a manufacturing operation from Plant A to Plant B is simply a matter of loading the pickup trucks, sweeping the dusty old floors and turning off the lights on the way out is terribly mistaken.
Much is to be considered.
More is to be planned.
Production must go on.
And the lights must stay on until the lights are no longer needed.
The Whirlpool relocation should be finished — almost — sometime this fall. A handful of employees will remain at the old King Edward Avenue site through late 2014. But the move will find closure. And work to redevelop the ancestral industrial site will begin.
Whirlpool and its family of predecessors — Maytag, Magic Chef, Dixie Products, Dixie Foundry, Hardwick Stove and Cleveland-Tennessee Enamel — have been part of the Cleveland and Bradley County community for as long as our grandparents can remember.
Their legacy is jobs, people and a blue-collar way of life.
As the company's theme proudly declares, Whirlpool is "Invested in America" — and especially in our hometown community.
History, and the detailed move into a new plant, serve as proof.

Law of multiplicative probabilities
The law of multiplicative probabilities for independent events (in which one event in no way influences the other) tells us that the probability of 10 consecutive heads in 10 coin flips can be found by multiplying the probability of a single head (1/2) 10 times over; that is, 1/2 × 1/2 × 1/2, and so on.
Lead time bias
Occurs when outcomes such as survival, as measured from the time of diagnosis, may be increased not because patients live longer, but because screening lengthens the time that they know they have disease. See also
Leading hypothesis
The clinician's single best explanation for the patient's clinical problem(s).
Length time bias
Occurs when patients whose disease is discovered by screening also may appear to do better, or live longer, than people whose disease presents clinically with symptoms. Screening tends to detect disease that is destined to progress slowly and, therefore, has a good prognosis. See also

Likelihood ratio
Likelihood ratio
The relative odds that a given test result would be expected in a patient with, as opposed to one without, a disorder of interest. As LRs increase above 1, the test result is better at identifying affected patients. As LRs decrease below 1, the test result is better at identifying unaffected patients. An LR+ is the LR for a positive test result, while an LR- is the LR for a negative test result. The LR+ = sensitivity / (1 - specificity), while the LR- = (1 - sensitivity) / specificity.

A Xtian Critique of the Non-Aggression Principle
Submitted by anti-fairtax on Fri, 03/22/2013 - 11:18Congressman Ron Paul's breakout in the public eye during the 2008 and 2012 presidential election cycles has made limited government – or "minarchy" – a popular concept across America, especially with young people. Other politicians such as Rand Paul, Justin Amash and Thomas Massie are carrying the principles of limited government forward, with conservatives rallying behind Rand as a potential nominee for president in 2016. This libertarian stream within the GOP has been known as the tea party, the liberty movement, or simply a return to the Constitution. Call it what you will, there's no denying its influence in the political sphere.
Riding the coattails of this movement are the anarcho-capitalists.
