Follow-Up Postings:
It's a little hard to tell the scale from the photo, but if the trunk is about 1-1/2" in diameter, you could topwork it with a cleft graft (see the video link). If you're too chicken to do this you could do the same with individual branches, but you'll eventually end up with crab branches sprouting from the trunk intertwined with your new variety. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Topworking Video
- Posted by Americanchestnut none (My Page) on Sun, Feb 24, 13 at 13:29
I would cut the top off and cleft graft the tree. Even if it doesn't work, which is unlikely, it will not kill the tree, only promote sprouts |
- Posted by windfall_rob vt4 (My Page) on Sun, Feb 24, 13 at 18:37
the tree look like it is fairly well branched and still short. I would do 4-5 grafts on the existing scaffolds and leader. all one variety, or one for the scaffolds and something else for the leader, all different is pretty tough to manage unequal vigor. whip grafts if the size works close to the trunk, cleft if the branches are too thick. I think it will look cleaner sooner and takes advantage of the structure that's there already. |
- Posted by harvestman 6 (My Page) on Sun, Feb 24, 13 at 19:57
I agree with Windfall for quickest results use current structure but lose the largest branch- its' excessive diameter will lead to a real imbalance. As Windfall says, cleft will work fine as well but I believe you'll lose about a year. |
Thanks for the advise, I was leaning towards using the structure already there and doing multiple grafts, glad others agree :) Thanks again for the input! |
- Posted by GreenOrchardMom Ga Mts 7 (My Page) on Sun, Mar 3, 13 at 18:09
I agree with you all to use that structure, its not bad I would multi graph as I have seen better results the cleft graft I did last spring... maybe too late in the spring leafed out but did not thrive. However the whips I pruned then graphed took off for whatever reason the cultivars or the rootstock I'm not sure its filling in much better than the cleft |

SALT LAKE CITY - (AP) Utah Jazz forward Carlos Boozer will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his left knee.
Boozer has missed 21 straight games because of a strained quad tendon he sustained during a Nov. 17 game against Milwaukee.
The Jazz said in a statement Tuesday that a date for the surgery has not been set, but doctors said it likely wouldn't occur until Jan. 9. Boozer, who had been averaging 20.5 points and 11.7 rebounds, will continue rehabilitation until then.

SNAPSHOT. My friends will tell you that I am creative, outgoing and very patient. Regardless of if I'm working on a fundraiser, planning a Girl Scout field trip or a mixer - I want the best turnout possible, for everyone to have a great time and to be talking about the event afterward.
PROFESSIONALLY. I express that creativity by planning and envisioning corporate marketing and communication campaigns for a local government agency where I am a Digital Communications Officer. Recent milestones, which I'm particularly proud of, include drafting our agency's social media policies and creating the visual aesthetic for our new content-managed website.
HOW'D I GET HERE? I grew up wanting to teach elementary school because I loved the enthusiasm of children and the unique way they see the world. They ask great questions, don't they? Instead I took art classes and spent four years in business school. This fall I'm heading back to school with the aim of completing a Masters in Strategic Communications.
PERSONALLY. I am a tree-hugging paleo-vegan, technology-loving, essential oil dabbling, sci-fi watching geek girl who can't live without her iPhone. Or, the corner coffee house. School supplies. My Kindle. World beat music. Oh, and killer iPad apps! Yeah, that about covers it!
FOR FUN. I fun a fitness group on Meetup.com. Activities that get me really stoked include making amazing raw vegan pies, CrossFit WODs and mud-run obstacle course races. Yeah, I don't look it, but I'm a little bit crazy like that.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Kona Wah Wahs & 5-10's both shipping to me now (Wheelworks & Zappos respectively) as I couldn't find an LBS with anything in stock.
Good choice you will be happy with those!
Wear shin protection of some kind even if it's just a lightweight pad of some kind. You WILL hit your shins with the pedals/pins even just walking around the bike sometimes. I got sick of carving up my shins and the dam things take forever to heal + I got a freaky huge hematoma from one nasty hit so I always wear pads now. Love my flat pedals with 5.10's with no intention to go clipless.
You could have got better pricing than those 2 places with a little Google work. I've found 5.10's run true to size BTW.
Not sure if you meant he should've bought both items online or just shopped around for a better deal @ a LBS. If it's the latter, disregard the following.
Yea, he probably could have found better pricing..............but he also supported a local establishment that pays taxes, hires locals, supports local causes in the community, and offers service/wrenching for those out there that are unable to do it themselves.
Do I buy a S-ton of bike stuff (including bikes) online and 'showroom' (check it out there, and buy elsewhere) from time to time at my LBS, yea. But I also buy what I can at my LBS.
If people don't support their LBS with purchases, those shops won't be there to size the newbie's, let you demo a bike for a weekend of ripping on your home trails, hook you up with warantee work, etc........I haven't seen an online retailer that has perfected sizing a bike, had the part in stock that you need and get you turned around in the matter of hours vs. days. Just my thoughts.
Either really, whatever his comfort level is in ordering on-line vs the LBS. Everyone's financial situation is different and honestly I'm just scraping by. I do allot of business with a LBS but also order plenty of stuff on-line I'll admit that. It's what I have to do, especially with multiple hobbies and 3 kids and child support. Sorry if my suggestion ruffled your feathers.Quote:

Wow lots of responses and opinions to choose from! Just throwing this in--I just replaced my worn out 520's for the new PDM780 XT's. they feel more stable and secure with that little extra machined surface area for the shoe tread. My feet are real finicky but are very happy in the Mavic Rush's that I got at JRA last year.
I ride Five tens and a good spiny flat pedal. Always a good time.

by Mark Richard Leach, Executive Director, SECCA
In 1962 at the age of 8 in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, I was introduced to Norman Rockwell's universe. My mother's friend was the artist's accountant. Rockwell had just been commissioned by the Department of the Army to create an image for a nationwide billboard campaign to promote the Army Reserve. He was looking for a child from the surrounding area with red hair and freckles. My mom's friend, in whose care I was placed one afternoon, was walking with her two children and me in Stockbridge. It was there that the artist saw me. That afternoon, my parents received a telephone call from the artist, who asked if they would grant him permission to paint me. So the creative journey began.
Strength in Reserve, the caption and narrative underpinning for the billboard, boldly sets the tone for the homespun patriotic picture and leaves no doubt what the outcome of the disagreement between the subjects will be. Outwardly the composition features a standoff between two young males, one of them holding a baseball that seems to belong to the other. But another compositional element is integral to the story. An anonymous adult's forearm, clad in a black suit with a crisply starched shirt cuff, descends into the composition. The gentleman's hand clasps the child's hand in a symbolic show of strength.
The sitters gathered in the artist's studio. I arrived dressed in khakis, a white button-down oxford shirt, and a mint green V-neck sweater. I also remember wearing my favorite belt with Indian beads and patterns attributed to the Mohawk people. Another child my age was there, too. I don't remember his name, but I knew that this young man, dressed much differently from the way I was, had a purpose. As Rockwell painted him, he jutted forward in the composition, straight into my personal space, behaving like a defiant bully, determined not to surrender the baseball. The hand is my father's. Often Rockwell could be the master of understatement. It wasn't the adult's literal presence in the composition, but rather only his subtle implication, that sets the viewer's imagination to work and adds richly to the story.
The artist was warm and attentive, carefully arranging his subjects and, if only so slightly, teasing the precise facial expressions from us. I had never been asked to "hold a pose" before. The session seemed to last an eternity. Because I could not move, my senses became heightened. I remember an immense light-filled room, heavy with the scents of linseed oil and turpentine. The smells were intoxicating and were familiar to me because my father, a tradesman and electrician, regularly used those substances to paint a house, clean brushes, and the like. I also noticed large north-facing windows that made the space seem otherworldly in size, by contrast to the more modest panes and lighting conditions in my childhood home.
I vividly remember a camera and multiple shutter releases. The artist moved with the camera to vantage points I can only surmise would reveal especially important anatomical information. The ambient natural light revealed spatial or other dimensions critical to the artist's quest for a preternaturally compelling visual conceit. His camera could capture these ephemeral moments, enabling him to make of the resulting snippets the stunning representational portrayal he sought.
Several months after the initial session, the artist invited us to pose again. My guess is that he took this step to confirm from life what he had captured using photography and sketching in the initial pose. I have no recollection of the conversation except that, as before, the artist took care in staging, lighting, and such other compositional necessities. Before my parents and I left Rockwell's studio for the last time, the artist presented me with a check for $20 as a token of his appreciation.
One afternoon while I was playing in the yard, my mother beckoned to me from the kitchen window. She told me she had an errand to run and asked if I wanted to go for a ride with her in the car. We headed to uptown Pittsfield, to the corner of Fenn and First streets. Conveniently, there was a red light at the intersection! She pointed upward and said, "Mark, there you are on the billboard just ahead—and so big!" I'll never forget the rush of excitement and pride.
Over the years, I've thought often about Norman Rockwell's painting, the billboard's story line and its subtext, and the three magical characters with whom the artist conspired to evoke in all of us a deep sense of patriotism, a feeling of self-determination, and an abiding acknowledgement that together we can tackle even the greatest of challenges. These things and so many more are the remarkable characteristics of a great American artist and the art that flows from a talent such as his.
American Chronicles: The Art of Norman Rockwell is on view at the NCMA until January 30, 2011. For more on Rockwell's use of photography, see Norman Rockwell: Behind the Camera, on view at the Brooklyn Museum until April 10, 2011.

Loved my Invitations
Vintage Applique Foldover Pockets I loved the invitations (in color combo of carnation and Ivory) once I received the final product in the mail and I must say the pearl paper complimented the design perfectly. I'm very excited to mail out the invites and I know that everyone is going to think they are beautiful! My only wish is that the design center was a little bit easier to navigate (maybe it is just me being computer illiterate!) so that I could make changes and tweak the text and sizing on my own without having to go through the proofing process several times. However, the designers who work on the personalization and proofing of your invitations are SO helpful, that I feel like I shouldn't complain! Thank you Magnet street!

The Zonie Report had an ambitious mandate—covering the entire state of Arizona—and featured magazine-length narrative pieces, blog posts, video, and aggregated links to other Arizona news outlets' stories. Klawonn is proudest of the online magazine's environmental reporting, including an exclusive on a manganese-polluted town along the Colorado River that came from a tipster in the state environmental office; a story on a planned copper mine opposed by its neighbors, written by a contributor who went on to write for The New York Times's Green Inc. blog; and a piece about the affordable housing gap in rapidly gentrifying Sedona. In 2008, the Arizona Press Club gave him a runner-up award as Community Journalist of the Year.
But by the end, Klawonn, a one-man band, was so busy managing the site and hustling to build its audience that the journalism was no longer his sole focus. As he wrote in response to a Center for Future Civic Media blog post about The Zonie Report: "The Zonie Report failed because I couldn't drive enough interest/traffic to it to make it economically feasible to continue my Herculean efforts to sustain it. I really enjoyed the work, but one has to eat."
It turns out, he did have something to lose—his idealism—and it's not difficult to detect a hint of bitterness in Klawonn's announcement that The Zonie Report would close:
I learned some hard lessons in my idealistic crusade to bring better, more innovative journalism to the expectant masses. I'm leaving a lot out, but I'd like to share of them with you now and hear more about your own observations. Feel free to share.
First, the Internet audience is incredibly fickle, so the expectant Zonie Report masses weren't there. (It turns out there were only about 8,000 of them in a state of 6 million-plus residents.)
Second, the way we consume media online does not lend itself to a deep-reading format, so short stories and truncated video (from car accidents to Britney Spears sightings to bar fights in Scottsdale) proliferate. This says something about the format, about us and about news outlets in general.
Third, it's tough to sell ads using today's metrics (i.e., impressions, etc.). Online advertising prices continue to head toward the floor and may never recover.
Finally, people are generally more interested in what everybody around them is doing than what's really going on in the world. There are some exceptions, but this is perhaps the harshest and saddest lesson of all. Who knows if/when this will change.
On Thursday, he amended his original laments in a post on PBS's MediaShift Idea Lab to include a more self-critical look at his missteps and at how other online journalists could learn from them.
Even though The Zonie Report couldn't sustain itself, it opened a few doors for its founder. As a self-taught, new media-savvy journalist, Klawonn landed a job teaching an "Intro to Online Media" lab course at Arizona State University's Walter Cronkite School of Journalism. He's working as the managing editor of PHOENIX magazine. And last year he won $95,000 from the Knight News Challenge for a social networking Web site and mobile service called CityCircles, centered around news and events affecting commuters on Phoenix's downtown light rail line.
But the "if you build it, they will come" spirit that led him to found The Zonie Report is gone. He founded it under the (perhaps naïve) assumption that good writers should be paid a decent wage for their work, that people would care about issues affecting their community, that their eyeballs would find good journalism about those communities, and the ads would find the eyeballs. He was putting his money where his journalistic ideals were; now, after seeing those ideals fail, he's no longer willing to put his own money and reputation on the line.
That said, Klawonn hasn't given up entirely on his original labor of love. "I should have found those big names willing to go to bat for this—funders who also believe that this is a complex state with a lot of issues and that it would be great to have something that goes beyond the daily minutiae to crystallize it on a regional level," he said. "But if you don't have that kind of person, it's a long road to hoe. And if that person appears, I would gladly flip the switch and give it another shot."

Natural gas-focused energy company, Questar Corporation ( STR ) has recently increased its quarterly cash dividend payment by 6% to 18 cents per share, up from 17 cents per share paid in the last quarter. The new dividend will be paid on Jun 10, 2013, to shareholders of record as of May 24, 2013. Importantly, for the past 41 years Questar hiked its dividend as many as 41 times. Based on the closing price of $25.44 on May 10, 2013, the proposed dividend affirms a yield of 2.8%. A steady dividend payout facilitates the long-term strategy of the company to provide attractive risk-adjusted returns to its stockholders. The dividend hike reflects continued strong performance by the company, backed by solid operating results, good investments and a diligent execution of its strategic plan. Founded in 1922, Salt Lake City, Utah-based Questar operates with three principal subsidiaries - Wexpro Company, Questar Pipeline, and Questar Gas Company. Questar, after the QEP Resources ( QEP ) spin-off, has transformed itself into a natural gas-operated energy company. The company focuses exclusively on exploring natural gas resources while serving domestic and worldwide customers. Moreover, Questar enjoys one of the best credit ratings in the utilities sector. This provides the company with a competitive advantage in accessing capital at a reasonable cost. On the flip side, Questar's inability to comply with various laws and regulations and obtain fair and timely rate relief and requisite regulatory approvals could hamstring future earnings and growth. Questar currently retains a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), implying that it is expected to perform in line with the broader U.S. equity market over the next one to three months. In the utility gas distribution sector, Chesapeake ( CPK ) and National Fuel Gas Company ( NFG ) are expected to significantly outperform the broader U.S. equity market over the next one to three months. Both the stocks currently retain a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).

The hepatic function panel, also known as liver function tests, is a group of seven tests used to evaluate the liver for injury, infection, or inflammation.
The liver plays important roles: It stores energy from food, makes proteins, and helps remove toxins. The liver also makes bile, a fluid that helps in digestion.
Liver function tests help doctors find out whether the liver has been damaged. If your child is experiencing symptoms of liver disease — including jaundice (yellowish skin or eyes), dark urine, nausea, vomiting, or abdominal swelling — these tests may be ordered. They may also be done to help diagnose viral infections (such as hepatitis or mononucleosis) or to monitor medications that can cause liver-related side effects.
The hepatic function panel evaluates:
Although the hepatic function panel can be done without any preparation, it's more accurate when performed after fasting. Your child may be asked to stop eating and drinking for 10 to 12 hours before this blood test. You should also tell your doctor about any medications your child is taking because certain drugs might alter the test results.
On the day of the test, having your child wear a short-sleeve shirt can make things easier for the technician who will be drawing the blood.
A health professional will usually draw the blood from a vein. For an infant, the blood may be obtained by puncturing the heel with a small needle (lancet). If the blood is being drawn from a vein, the skin surface is cleaned with antiseptic, and an elastic band (tourniquet) is placed around the upper arm to apply pressure and cause the veins to swell with blood. A needle is inserted into a vein (usually in the arm inside of the elbow or on the back of the hand) and blood is withdrawn and collected in a vial or syringe.
After the procedure, the elastic band is removed. Once the blood has been collected, the needle is removed and the area is covered with cotton or a bandage to stop the bleeding. Collecting blood for this test will only take a few minutes.
Either method (heel or vein withdrawal) of collecting a sample of blood is only temporarily uncomfortable and can feel like a quick pinprick. Afterward, there may be some mild bruising, which should go away in a day or so.
The blood sample will be processed by a machine. Parts of a hepatic function panel may be available in minutes in an emergency, but more commonly the full test results come after a few hours or the next day.
If any of the results seem to point to liver damage or disease, further testing may be necessary to determine what's causing the problem and how to treat it.
The hepatic function panel is considered a safe procedure. However, as with many medical tests, some problems can occur with having blood drawn:
Having a blood test is relatively painless. Still, many children are afraid of needles. Explaining the test in terms your child can understand might help ease some of the fear.
Allow your child to ask the technician any questions he or she might have. Tell your child to try to relax and stay still during the procedure, as tensing muscles and moving can make it harder and more painful to draw blood. It also may help if your child looks away when the needle is being inserted into the skin.
If you have questions about the hepatic function panel, speak with your doctor. You can also talk to the technician before the procedure.

Is anyone interested in a potager seed swap?
I would suggest that we try vegetables, herbs and some flowers. Not so heavy on flowers since there is the cottage garden swap coming along that most of us signed up for. I'd be happy to run the swap although I may have to limit it to a certain # of people since I've never done one before... Please let me know if you are interested, and post here. Then we'll know!

That's a great idea! Of course you are going to offer up seeds of some of those yellow and stripey tomatoes, right? |
GGG- count me in please. I will for sure have lemon cucumbers and perennial false sunflower seeds and several herbs to share. -Nan |
I'm game too. I'll have some interesting heirloom vegetables and melons. |
I usually buy plants for my potager, so I can get a jump on the growing season. I don't really have a place to start seeds. Haziemoon |
- Posted by girlgroupgirl 8 Atlanta (My Page) on Thu, Jun 29, 06 at 12:23
Haziemoon, you need to do row covers! Have you tried that. Make your own miniature greenhouses out of hoops and sheets of plastic (held on with clips). You could really get some veggies going in there from seed, and have lots to plant out early!! GGG |
- Posted by mountainsong z5 CNY (My Page) on Fri, Jun 30, 06 at 23:50
GGG, I'd love to get in on a swap, but I haven't done much seed-saving at all in my gardening career. I've gotten a book, and am starting to learn about it. When would this happen, at the end of the growing season, right? Oh, that's right, you're in GA, where you garden practically year-round. :-) Okay, so I mean, would the swap be in the fall? I'd like to try to save some seed and participate. Mountainsong, in the Heart of NY |
Hi GGG! I'm new to the forum, but not new to swaps. Being a fellow Hotlantaner, I've got lots of upcoming seeds. I'd also be happy to share any of my seed purchases for the next crops. |
- Posted by girlgroupgirl 8 Atlanta (My Page) on Sun, Jul 2, 06 at 18:06
Well, I'd say we should do the swap the end of Oct? How is that. Have the seeds sent to me be between Oct. 15th and Oct. 31 and I will send yours out to you before thanksgiving. That way those who WS in cold climates can do so in a timely fashion. Is that OK for everyone? I'm not sure about Californians? Our crops should be in and seeds dry and ready to package by that time here. GGG |
- Posted by mountainsong z5 CNY (My Page) on Mon, Jul 3, 06 at 1:19
Thought I'd share that I realized the answers to my seed-saving questions would be right here on the Gardenweb, so I headed over to the Seed Saving forum. Fascinating! I won't call it a "new" hobby, just a new extension to my lifelong love of gardening... |
October sounds fine to me GGG. -Nan |
The only seeds I'd have to share are green onions.... I have a million of them! so I could contribute those. Haziemoon |
- Posted by mountainsong z5 CNY (My Page) on Fri, Aug 25, 06 at 2:14
I'm so excited to have begun my first organized seed-saving, from plants I've grown. So far, I've: collected some columbine seeds (pre-existing plants from previous owner, maybe not too vigorous), cilantro (coriander), heirloom tomatoes: Glacier (an early variety) and Rose de Berne (a more mild, pink tomato), with projected saving of Big Rainbow, Italian Beef, and Green Zebra tomatoes upcoming. With me still quite earthbound, DH climbed up to our 12' sunflower and "reserved" two blooms that are going to seed (clipped brown bags around, so hopefully they'll dry and keep the birds at bay); will hopefully do more later. This is the strongest-stemmed, tallest, most beautiful and most vigourous sunflower I've ever had grow in my yard; it was a volunteer, so although I can't quite say just quite what it is, I'm happy to look forward to saving some of it's seeds! What seeds are y'all saving out there? Mountainsong, happily hording in the heart of NY state |
Me too! I have two kinds of radish I let go to seed, will have some beans, and arugala (sorry spelling bad!!!!), chives too, saved some 8 ball zucchini not sure they will grow, the seeds look real flat, may try to get more later from them, after they dry I will try and germinate them...the flowers I plan on using for the Cottage garden swap.... Leasa |

OK, how about we do the seed trade in January. Does that sound good for everyone? I think January would be good for me, after the holidays and all. Everyone will need to have their seeds sent in by January 15th, to my PO Box. You will need to have your email unblocked (not your address showing, just the GW form showing that allows me to email you). That means you will need to be a person who has registered with GW. I will email only those on this list. There is no need to email me with "youve've got mail" etc. I will see you if you post here. How about we have a maximum number of seed packets? I only ask this so that I don't end up having to send your own packages back to you!! Lets say a maximum of 25 packets of seed per person. There is no minimum. PLEASE send a mixture of different types of seed.. (2-3 pks of each is OK, but again, small number of participants means we don't need too many repeat kinds of packages...). Please package each type of seed seperately in a small envelope or seed baggie (bead baggies are awesome for this, as are coin envelopes or homemade seed packages). Label each package with the "Common Name" of your plant. Please try to take the time to do a search on DG to find the botanical name for flowers. So many have the same common name. If you can, please write the color of flower/fruit/vegetable, how tall it grows (or if it's dwarf etc.). Germination data would be a bonus, but we can also discuss that on this forum if need be. PLEASE MAKE SURE TO PUT YOUR GW NAME ON YOUR SEED PACKAGES!! I can make sure you don't get your own packages back if you GW name is on each seed package. Send everything in a BUBBLE ENVELOPE. Inside the envelope please place a sticker (this saves me from taping everything), two stamps, a note with your "wants" list, or colors you like, any pereferences you have and make sure sure sure you have your GW NAME on this note. Please do not use your email address, just your GW handle. Thank you a kabillion. This will be such a time saver! I will return all envelopes by February 15th at the latest (probably much sooner. I will aim for Jan. 30th..) At this time I ask that we trade only in the USA, especially since nobody from overseas or Canada has requested to be opted in. Let me know here if this all sounds good to you? GGG |
Those outside the US can't opt in without applying and paying for a license; same for export to another country (based on other country regulations). and regs to and from canada just got stiffer. oh well... WASHINGTON , Aug. 28, 2006 --The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service today announced, in an interim rule, that it has removed inspection exemptions for Canadian grown fruits and vegetables imported from Canada . These inspections apply to both commercial shipments and commodities imported by individuals for personal use. The interim rule also removes the exemption from user fees for all commercial vessels, trucks, railroad cars and aircraft, as well as international passengers entering the United States from Canada . These inspections and fees are necessary to prevent the introduction of plant pests into the United States via conventional pathways or through bioterrorism. |

I don't think this will be a problem. Since nobody has again mentioned the swap on this forum, it is in jeopardy of being cancelled anyway. If I don't get responses from people by Sept. 15, I will assume they are not reading the forum, and not interested in the swap, which, as mentioned above the last post, is only open to US folks anyway so I have no idea why the above poster even bothered. GGG |

OK, swap is off. No potager seed swap, nobody is interested. GGG |

Heavy sigh. GGG, I usually disappear from the forums for the month of September; most teachers will tell you that their first month of classes is--ahem! quite challenging! I am so sorry I didn't see your posts about the seed swap. I have been faithfully saving for the past month or so. Originally you had suggested October, so tonight I logged on, and found out that you had cancelled it. Although I don't have a lot, I do have seeds from all my heirloom tomatoes: Green Zebra, Rainbow, Glacier, Italian Beef, and Rose de Berne. I had hoped to save from a few more vegetable varieties, as well. I checked the forum back in August, and it was really dead... what happened??! It was my new favorite forum; maybe all the gardeners were just so busy out in their little pieces of heaven, that they just stayed off their computers?? Well, for what it's worth, even if I swapped with just a few people, I'd be thrilled if something did come together. Thanks for the thought and effort that went into just the preliminary plans. Mountainsong, in the heart of New York State |
- Posted by girlgroupgirl 8 Atlanta (My Page) on Sun, Oct 8, 06 at 20:43
Mountainsong, I gave up on this forum in Sept when nobody was posting. You'll notice all other posts end the end of Sept. I figured nobody was much interested. If there is no action on a forum for a week or two, I just stop using that particular forum. It's boring to check all the time when there are no new posts. To that end, I didn't bother to save any vegetable seeds. I ordered a lot through Heirloomseeds.com and ripped out the summer garden, planted the winter gardens full of greens, root crops and garlic. Sorry! GGG |
I'm curious about seed swapping. Do the seeds have to be heirloom or can I just collect seeds at the end of a growing season? If the process isn't too complicated, I'd be interested in participating next year. boballi |
- Posted by wolfe15136 z6 PA (My Page) on Wed, Jan 24, 07 at 17:13
The problem with a small potager, is too many seeds. I plant a total of 4 tomatoes, 3 varieties. Which is 8 seeds! So I always have extra seeds! Same with peppers and melons. |

If you set a variable, it will only last until that shell is exited. If you want to keep it, the best thing (if you're using bash) is to export it in you ~/.bashrc:
export MONKEY="cheese and cucumbers"
.bashrc is sourced whenever a bash shell is started, so the export will happen and the variable will be defined.

Hillsboro area septic tank pumping quotes or questions?
All the Basics of Septic Tank Pumping – Hillsboro Area
To keep your wastewater system running efficiently and maintain the quality of your septic field, you will need to know the basics of septic tank pumping. When is it done? How is done? What is the Hillsboro homeowner responsible for and how can they make the process straightforward and hassle free? A little knowledge will go a long way and give you the necessary tools to help your system run well.
Scheduling Your Septic Tank Pumping – Hillsboro Area
There are a few variables that come into play and determine when it's time to pump out the tank. The size of your tank is a major factor, as are the number of residents in your home and your overall water usage. Larger tanks will be pumped less frequently, although the volume of waste removed will be higher. And homes in Hillsboro with more residents will need to schedule pumping services more often.
An average sized 1,000 gallon tank serving a family of four will need to be pumped every 2 ½ to 3 years. The same sized tank in a home with only one or two residents can be left for five to ten years without pumping, although it is generally recommended that you schedule a cleaning approximately every five years in any case. Another generally accepted rule is to pump the tank once the solid waste level has surpassed 40% of the tank.
Other variables such as garbage disposals and living in the home only part of the year will change those schedules. With garbage disposals in use you can expect to pump your tank about 20% sooner than without and if your home is only a part time residence you should be able to stretch out the timing between service visits.
Not cleaning out your tank on time can be a serious risk, possibly causing damage to the system and the surrounding environment. Pipes can become clogged and solid waste can plug up the drainage field, both a danger and an unpleasant experience for homeowners.
Even when using bacterial additives you need to adhere to a Hillsboro septic tank pumping schedule. Finding a trusted, licensed and insured company to provide this service will allow you to keep to a regular schedule and proper, safe maintenance of this essential system in your home.
Methods of Septic Tank Pumping – Hillsboro Area
Find out where the lid or access point for your tank is and uncover it. This will cut down on the cost of septic tank pumping since the contractor will have little extra labor involved. Mark the opening with stakes afterwards or simply sketch a diagram with the location noted for use before the next scheduled pumping.
The septic pumping contractor for Hillsboro will arrive with all of the necessary equipment and storage vehicles. You should be on hand to meet them and go over anything they discover during the pumping or inspection of your tank. Baffles will be inspected for wear and the tank should be checked for leaks. All solid waste will be removed from your tank and disposed of properly and efficiently. This is part of what you are paying the septic cleaning contractors to do, as safe disposal is highly regulated and tightly managed.
Tips for Hassle Free Septic Tank Pumping – Hillsboro Area
You should keep your system working at maximum efficiency by maintaining your cleaning schedule. Always use an experienced and licensed contractor to ensure a job well done. Hire the same contractor each time to be assured of professional service and to keep an accurate schedule and record of wear and tear inside the tank.
Discovering and recording the location of your septic tank will save time and money. Plan your landscaping to allow simple access for cleaning and be on site when the pumping takes place to avoid access problems and timely delays.
Septic tank pumping in the Hillsboro area is an essential home maintenance task that is reasonably priced (generally between $200 and $400) and takes very little time. It's sure to keep your waster system performing well and your family and property safe from damage.

50 nuances de bleu of Andros, Bahamas
Nous sommes à 5 milles des côtes, au large d'Andros, la plus grande des seize îles habitées des Bahamas, sur une fosse océanique de 1 300 mètres de fond. L'eau est tiède, avoisinant les 30 degrés. Derrière mes lunettes de plongée embuées, j'aperçois nos trois bateaux suiveurs. A ma droite, et à bonne distance, une quinzaine d'étudiants en biologie marine sont aussi à l'eau. Devant moi se tient le professeur, « Doc » Gruber, éminent spécialiste des squales.
Essential Magazines Adventure Travel recognises Small Hope
Diving - The Blue (And Black) Hole Of Andros, Bahamas
The name doesn't exactly scream "safety", but where's the fun in that? While we're not encouraging any reckless behaviour, diving in Andros is well worth it. The capital of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas, Nassau, is a city populated by blooming skyscrapers, luxury yachts and over-zealous tourists eager to bask in the magic of the Bahamas. But just 60 miles from this thriving tropical city is an unexplored land home to one of the universe's great mysteries - black holes.
Go barefoot or go home: 15 best islands you've never heard of
(Andros) island (is) a veritable melting pot of cultures (it) also has the world's oldest dive shop, the Western hemisphere's second largest coral reef and locals who make waterproof straw baskets, batik and other crafts.
CNN's Ultimate Bahamas Experience
Divers swap stories and lies at Small Hope Bay Lodge, Andros, where the only thing better than peering over the Tongue of the Ocean is talking up the adventure with friends.

With its home-cooked buffets, eco-friendly accommodations and laugh-filled happy hours, Small Hope serves up everything but the camp songs.

Desperate to escape the chill and gloom that had settled over Manhattan, I accepted a spontaneous invite from my friend Mark for a week of beach bumming, bungalow-side boozing and world-class scuba diving in the Bahamas.

Although it's the largest island in the Bahamas, Andros is far less inhabited and touristy than its Nassau neighbor yet just 15 minutes by plane ..., making it an ideal destination for a quick trip ...

"Todas las islas principales de Bahamas cuentan con Blue Holes, pero sin duda los de Andros son los más conocidos".
"Andros makes an excellent destination for beginners and expert birders, especially if you have nonbirding partners. I felt that I was surrounded by old friends at Small Hope Bay Lodge, and I was experiencing a location that hasn't been affected by the long arms of corporate development."
"We went down and suddenly I was in another world. Literally. I saw angelfish, grouper, silverfish, live coral, underwater plants and my dive buddies."
"There's not much in the world that's wrong with Andros. In fact, it may be one of the most perfect places in the world."
"Ecologically aware, the funky old resort (Small Hope Bay Lodge) is beloved by an eclectic assortment of divers, bird watchers and naturalists. The resort's well-established dive program includes resort courses (at no extra charge) reef dives, night dives, shark dives and wall dives to 185 feet/56 meters or more. In addition, their specialty dive program offers guided dives for one or two divers to offshore and inland blue holes. With more than 200 known inland blue holes and more than 50 in the accessible offshore area, there's plenty for divers to see."
"Small Hope certainly sets the tone for trust-building, as it has a way of eroding modern, 'civilization inspired' hang-ups about safety of self and possessions. Crime isn't a problem here. Guests can feel free to walk the beaches and even nature trails all hours of the day or night, and the resort confidently maintains its longstanding tradition of key-free rooms."

"The Lodge has become a natural magnet for Canadians seeking temporary escape. The main building resenbles a cottage up north, with its coral-stone exterior, sturdy pine trim and massive stone fireplace. And the atmosphere is a slice of family weekend at the cottage."

The long, hot summer of 2012 appears to be slowly winding down, and those of us still standing can look forward to approaching moderate temperatures and autumn-like conditions.
But what about our cars? The scorchingly high temps really took a toll on our vehicles. For example, summer travel gives brake pads a heavy workout, resulting in the removal of thin layers. Likewise, summer heat does the most damage to battery life and is often the cause for failure in the winter.
With that said, there's no time like the present to give your car, truck,...

Honda GEAR Concept makes World Debut at Montreal Auto Show 2013
In an interesting attempt to get back into the North American city-car game, Honda is rolling out their GEAR concept at the Montreal International Auto Show 2013 (Salon International de l'Auto de Montréal). With its minimal styling and proclaimed ability to be heavily optioned as requested it is pretty clear that Honda has seen how Scion's game has worked and are following suit.
Though it is pretty slick to look at, we have to say we are a bit surprised at Honda's blatant clawing at the Hipster market. With phrasing like "Inspired by fixed-gear bicycles" and "Everything that young, discerning urban buyers would want in a car" it's hard not to see the push by Honda to make the GEAR concept into the next latest-and-greatest thing that no one has heard of yet.
Putting the vernacular aside for a moment, we are still happy to see Honda throwing themselves back in the ring. If nothing else the GEAR concept may do an excellent job filling in where the CR-Z Hybrid fell flat. Or even getting back to Civic 3-door basics that essentially built the H-badge.
Click here to see our for a full gallery of the Honda GEAR Concept and click here to read the press release from Honda Canada.

Related GalleryHonda GEAR Concept - Montreal Auto Show 2013
MONTREAL (January 17, 2012) – At today's Montreal International Auto Show, Honda Canada provided the world with its first look at the new GEAR Concept Study Model – a vehicle that demonstrates Honda's innovative approach to providing the automotive answer for young, urban, Gen-Y lifestyles.
Inspired by fixed-gear bicycles, GEAR is a concept that represents an entirely new way of looking at the sub-compact vehicle. It is simple and utilitarian, but also customizable, connected and full of personality.
"Subcompact cars are usually either utilitarian, but uninspiring or they're fun, zippy cars that are impractical and too expensive for the Gen-Y buyer," said Dave Marek, Design Director at Honda R&D Americas, Inc. "GEAR Concept tears down those walls – it's practical but fun, customizable, connected and affordable. Everything that young, discerning urban buyers would want in a car."
The All-New 2013 Honda Accord Coupe HFP
The GEAR concept was joined by the 2013 Honda Accord Coupe HFP -- a performance-packed vehicle exclusively available for Canadian customers. As the newest edition to the Honda Factory Performance line-up, the sporty, Accord Coupe HFP adds an extra level of limited-edition style and performance to an award-winning vehicle that has already received accolades from media and customers from coast to coast.
"Honda Factory Performance provides the next step in handling and styling," said Dave Gardner, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Honda Canada Inc. "For our customers who want Honda quality, reliability, efficiency and safety, but with even more expression and personality, the Accord HFP is the product that will deliver."
The Accord HFP builds on the award-winning 2013 Accord Coupe EX-L V6 Navi with improved handling and more aggressive styling. The enhanced exterior styling comes from a wider and lower appearance, achieved through a 10-mm suspension drop, 19-inch wheels and body kit that includes front, rear and side skirts and a rear lip spoiler. In addition, a more responsive sport suspension provides a more exhilarating driving experience with improved tire grip from Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires.
With the Accord's 278-horsepower V6 engine, the result is a car meant to turn heads just long enough to see it pull ahead and disappear over the horizon. The 2013 Honda Accord HFP Coupe will be available at select Honda dealerships this spring in limited numbers. Two transmissions will be available – a 6-speed automatic or a 6-speed manual, with black or white as the exterior colours.
Further Tribute to Honda's Tuner Enthusiasts
Rounding out the aggressively-styled vehicles displayed in Montreal were the 2013 Honda Accord Auto Luxury VIP and 2013 Honda Civic Circuit Sports. Honda has once again partnered with Performance Auto & Sound Magazine (PASMAG) to push the limits of performance and expressive design. These two after-market project vehicles exemplify Honda's race-inspired DNA.
"Working with the team at PASMAG is a way for Honda to connect with enthusiasts across the country to demonstrate the tuning potential of Honda platforms," said Gardner. "The Accord Auto Luxury VIP and Civic Circuit Sports do just that and then some."
About 2013 Honda Civic Circuit Sports
Historically, the Civic has always been a natural choice for track enthusiasts, which inspired the PASMAG team when designing this exciting vehicle. Starting with a 2013 Honda Civic Si, the design team implemented key performance upgrades required for a track car including lightweight Enkei wheels, fully adjustable suspension, big brake kit, race seats, intake and exhaust and ECU reflash.
Modification highlights include:
• Enkei PF01 Racing wheels
• Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires
• Rotora front and rear big brake kit
• Megan racing suspension
• Ultimate Racing exhaust and downpipe
• K&N air intake
• Hondata flashpro
• Bride front sport seats
• Retrofit source custom HID headlights
• Custom upgraded audio system
• 3M satin white vehicle wrap
• Custom airbrushed HJC helmet
While the vehicle is a one-of-a-kind and not available for sale, the 2013 Civic Circuit Sports will attend tuner shows and car meets this summer. More information will be available in the coming months.
2013 Honda Accord VIP Overview
Based on the luxury VIP style, this one-of-a-kind Accord sedan delivers a luxury driving experience that exceeds expectations. It began with the 2013 Accord Touring and features 20" chrome wheels, air-suspension and luxury interior trimmings.
Modification highlights include:
• VIP Modular 20" wheels
• Yokohama S-drive tires
• Air-Ride suspension system
• Custom exhaust
• K&N Air intake
• Custom diamond-stiched interior
• Custom upgraded audio system
• 3M matte black vehicle wrap
