I haven't had cymbidiums for a very long time, largely due to space limitations, but I purchased 2 mini's from Hausermann's this winter, so I'm getting psyched for them again. I have 'Magenta', and 'Pinkie'. Actually I have 4 of 'Pinkie'--much to my delight there were 4 little seedlings packed in one pot when I repotted last week, and I may post one for trade in a while, but only for another mini. The leaves of Pinkie are grass-like, which Is how I missed the extra babies...
Now I'm looking at plants from the Santa Barbara Orchid Estate--will probably be the next place I buy from. --Rr |

You might also check with New World Orchids. I've seen a couple ultra mini's at shows but the price tag has been out of my budget. |

Hmmm...I see ultra-mini's @ SBOE for $25-35, which doesn't seem too horrible. What kind of outlandish prices did you see at the shows? --Rr |

Not sure if Parkside Orchid has them, but you might want to check there. If they aren't listed on the website, I would give them a call. Sarah |

The Monday Morning Debrief No.2
This weekend was all about the local, riding straight from the doorstep and as it turned out alone. Best laid plans and all that; which meant not taking any overly interesting photo's, sorry kids.
Saturday saw a quick blast with Pip the Patterdale. She actually behaves herself around other dogs better when she's running with the bike. Most of the doorstep riding is more akin to a water feature than to singletrack at the moment, so I was quite glad the I'd lit the woodburner before we set off so we both had somewhere to thaw/dry out when we got back. A short and sweet ride managing to miss the heaviest rain? That'll do nicely.
Sunday was timed to avoid the deluge and make the most of the brief appearance of blue skies and sun. A bitterly cold wind made the decision to leave the dog at home easier which meant a longer ride was possible. I tried to choose a route that stuck to rock and hardpack as much as possible though the return part of the loop was considerably wetter and muddier than the start. I was glad to have got out, first ride of the winter in softshell and merino glove liners done.
For the winter I've built the Highball alloy up 1×10 and so far I'm pleased with how it's running in the clag. With the clutch equipped rear mech I've so far managed to avoid needing a chain device, if the chain starts dropping I may revise that though. More info on that soon in a Long Termer update.
Meanwhile over the hill Sim and Matt are riding slither-tech™ when it all goes wrong. Dry stone wall top stones meet Matt's ankle and from the looks of things Matt's ankle comes off worse. Ouch. Broken or sprained? No news at time of writing…

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Sophie!
Facts about Sophie
- Breed: Calico
- Color: Calico Or Dilute Calico
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Medium
Sophie's Info...
I am already spayed and up to date with shots.
This is Sophie - she is a kitten available for adoption! She is currently in a foster home and is making guest appearances at Petco in Vero Beach (FL) on Saturdays. But you can always call Linda, the cat adoption coordinator and arrange to see her (772) 562-2618.
Also check out her equally cute sister, Jewel-lea
Other Pets at Raining Cats Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Sophie, a Vero Beach Calico kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Calico for sale in Vero Beach, or seeking a Calico kitten from a breeder in Vero Beach.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Vero Beach already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Vero Beach breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Calico breeders who help with Calico rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Vero Beach paves the way for another one to be saved.

Reviewed Dry Rubbed BBQ Chicken
Jul 30, 2012 in Food Network Community Toolbox on FoodNetwork.com
"It was great.... I made my own BBQ seasoning and, therefore, did not need to add extra sugar to it. But I used the brining and cooking technique here. Due to time constraints, I only brined for a little over 2 hours... The reason that this is 4 stars and not 5 is perhaps due to that fact. The chicken was very, very moist, except for the inmost cou""

For my canna this is their second year, but last year I did not have them. Well, the highest point is only two feet out of all of them. Does that mean they're dwarf or will they grow taller each year??
Also I am just now getting my second bloom for the year and I believe the last. They are growing in hard clay dirt so I wonder if that has alot to do with their growth(or lack of). Any answers or opinions would be great!!! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Do you know what variety you're growing? Despite being grown in clay, it sounds like you have dwarfs. I've grown cannas in hard clay and that hasn't stopped them from performing at all. In fact, it's my understanding that clay soil seems to be rich in nutrients. Altho for many plants the compacted clay soil makes it hard for roots to spread and thrive. But it doesn't seem to deter cannas at all. At least in my own experience. Jenna |

Unfortunately I do not know what variety I have. I got them from a friend and she didn't even know what they were. Maybe I haven't watered enough because like I said I am just now getting only the second bloom out of them. Hopefully they will do better next year... |
- Posted by ButterflyChaser z7 (My Page) on Tue, Oct 18, 05 at 22:11
How deep do you have the cannas planted. They really only need to be planted about 2 inches deep. Also, they love lots of sun and lots of water. I grow mine in red clay and they do great the second year. But each time they are moved, they must resettle in. So the first year they are in one spot, they don't do as well as they do the second year. My first cannas were Richard Wallace. The first year, they grew to about 4 ft tall. I was so happy. I had them planted all around my porch. The second year, by July, they were a whopping 7 ft tall!!! When I sat on my porch, I couldn't even see out, due to the canna forest. LOL Give 'em time to settle in. With most plants in general, the first year they settle in, the second year, they test their wings, and the third year, they really put on a show. There are tall, medium and dwarf varieties. If you don't know the name of yours, you'll just have to watch them and see who they become. How tall did they get for your friend? NancyAnn |

Kris Ramer always wanted her own business. After graduating from college with a degree in small-business management, Ramer, now 27, decided to put her schooling to use by forming a company with her father to market one of his inventions.
Her father, Paul Ramer, 58, already owned Ramer Products, a company that marketed ski-mountaineering equipment. His new invention, Notwax, lubricated cross-country skis and snowboards without using wax. The product worked well, but the only way to sell it was to get users to actually try it, and Ramer Products didn't have the distribution network needed to market Notwax. So Kris and her father formed a new company, Zardoz, in Boulder, Colorado, solely to market Notwax.
Notwax required "legwork" to succeed: Someone had to actually go out to ski resorts and demonstrate to skiers and snowboarders how Notwax worked. Products requiring legwork--like Notwax--are ideally suited for young entrepreneurs with lots of energy and enthusiasm.
Kris teamed up with her father, but you don't have to have an inventor in the family to make such a partnership work for you. There are thousands of older inventors who could benefit from a young partner with energy and determination. If you don't have enough money to start your own business, consider teaming up with an older inventor instead.

My former boss introduced me to this hidden gem in Vancouver's Gastown area. It's a nice little cafe tucked away inside one of the red brick buildings facing the train tracks. The Cottage Deli serves delicious sandwiches at a much cheaper rate than the usual fare in Gastown. Whenever I am with friends downtown and they look for a nice, quiet place to talk, I usually take them here.
The Cottage Deli is run by two very nice men. I really love this place because it reminds me of what Vancouver must have been in previous years, when Gastown wasn't the tourist attraction that it is now. It's also one of the cheapest food places you can find in Gastown with a great view. The food is great but the service can be quite slow, it's not the place for someone wanting to grab a quick lunch. It's the best place for those who want to have conversations and watch the time go by.
The Cottage Deli is located at 131 Water Street, Vancouver.

Over-the-counter topical muscle and joint pain relievers may cause serious burns (http://tinyurl.com/8ok5px7), warns the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The agency reviewed 43 cases of such burns in the medical literature and the agency's Adverse Events Reporting System and found that some patients using these products experienced first-, second-, and third-degree burns, even after a single application of the product. Some of these patients developed complications that required hospitalization.

No one knows why The Angry Boy is so angry. The sculpture of a petulant child is the most beloved of the hundreds of works designed by Gustav Vigeland for Oslo's Frogner Park. Their installation was completed in 1950, and they have a special place in the hearts of Oslo's residents. The oversize nudes Vigeland carved in granite feel exceptionally soft to the touch—almost soapy—and have a puffy muscularity reminiscent of the work of Fernando Botero. Of the long row of bronze sculptures, it is The Angry Boy whose pedestal has been rubbed to a polish by visitors. I look at the boy's tiny clenched fist and hunched shoulders and see not so much anger as stubborn defiance: a refusal to change or grow up. It is, for me, a monument to a wish for things to remain as they are.
But of course that isn't happening. To take the T-bane subway four stops from Majorstuen, near Frogner Park in the prosperous and mostly blond west, to Grønland, in the east, is to get on in Scandinavia and get off in London, or maybe in Mogadishu or Lahore. Norway has long offered a generous reception for asylum seekers. The inland neighborhood of Grønland, a haven for those who believe in a multicultural Oslo, is characterized by immigrant shops such as Sheikh Enterprises and Khalid Jewellers, and call centers posting rates to Afghanistan and Morocco. Meanwhile, nearby Grünerløkka is full of trendy boutiques, including designer-shoe mecca Shoe Lounge, and stylish restaurants like Sult, evidence of the process in which commerce capitalizes on a neighborhood's edginess.
One night I go to a jazz club called Blå in a nearby arts district of graffiti-covered warehouses on the banks of the Akerselva River. I'm here to see the Frank Znort Quartet, described to me as "the house band of Grønland." Once inside, I understand what this means: the quartet seems to have a dozen members from all over the world, each taking a turn to sing an upbeat jazz tune or introduce a favorite instrument into the rhythmic mix. When I finally head home, in the early hours of the morning, the sky still glows, but the nearly endless sunlight, so disorienting at first, now feels exhilarating.
Leaving Oslo is as much a part of a resident's life as living there, and the summer exodus begins at 3 p.m. on Fridays. "If you look at who the big Norwegian heroes are, they are our athletes, adventurers, people who physically overcome nature," Bergesen explains. "We love outdoor life, having a place where we can get away from the pollution and cars and people." But even this ritualized return to nature is beginning to change with the new wealth. The hytte—a hut or country cabin—had always been a spartan, humble retreat that "didn't have any facilities," Bergesen says. "And people loved it. But what you see now is that people are putting in electricity, water, plumbing." The tabloids are full of breathless stories about the luksus (luxury) hytter belonging to the rich and famous.
Not having a hytte of my own, I decide to explore the countryside via the fjords along the western coast, where the Hurtigruten steamers have been plying the route from Bergen to well above the Arctic Circle since the late 19th century. I base myself in Bergen, Norway's charming second city, which prospered in the Middle Ages owing to its connection to the trading routes of the Hanseatic League. The brightly colored, steeply pitched trading houses of the Bryggen area (a UNESCO World Heritage site) still line the waterfront. Along the narrow passages between the buildings the wood planks seem to be sagging and oozing with age. Bergen feels something like an American college town, with a relaxed, youthful vibe in which university students while away the afternoons on the lawns near the National Theater or in the city's many coffeehouses.
From Bergen, I set sail with several hundred fellow travelers for the Sogne Fjord, the longest and deepest fjord in Norway, on a boat dwarfed by the vastness of the landscape: jagged, high-cliffed, densely forested mountains rise up from waters so still and dark they appear thick, almost gelatinous. Suddenly, the already breathtaking view doubles in size as the wind dies down and the surface of the water goes flat, creating a perfect reflection of the world above. Blindingly white glaciers perch uncertainly on the mountaintops, as if their 10,000-year retreat—a force so powerful that during the Ice Age it etched the fjords into the mountains, flooding them with water as the earth warmed—were an event I am catching in mid-motion. The fjord narrows and the mountains press in, runoff from the melting snowcaps spidering down the rocks. I lean back to stare up at the nearly vertical slopes and experience a kind of upward vertigo: the mountains appear to be straight overhead and for a moment I think the rock face might shear off. And yet there, nestled in the endless wall of green forest, is a solitary farmstead bravely staking its claim on the lonely, steep, barely arable mountainside. I understand why it is nature that captures the Norwegian imagination: this spectacular land was formed on a scale no man-made city can rival.
Returning to Oslo, I go to the harbor of Bjørvika to see the new Opera House. The impressive project, designed by Snøhetta, the Norwegian firm that also designed the Alexandria Library in Egypt, is unmistakably monumental. It is a showy, un-Norwegian building, and I love it for that. Vanity can be good for a city. What is the Eiffel Tower except a boast written in iron about late-19th-century French prowess?Architecture is the language in which cities communicate who they are or how they hope to be seen; in Oslo, often, the architecture has little to say and the city sometimes seems unsure of itself.
The restaurant Bagatelle announces itself as something different for Oslo. Andreas Gursky's photograph Mayday IV (2000) dominates the dining room. The Michelin-starred spot opened in 1982 but is still the most talked-about restaurant in town. It has something else, too, that is rare in Norway: the sound of boisterous conversation, tableware clinking, and people indulging in the pleasures of food.
There is also nothing quiet about chef Eyvind Hellstrøm's cooking. I find that I'm hoping the chef will not fail and that Oslo will reward his audacity. Then the first course arrives: a single oyster from Normandy presented in its deep, sculpted shell on a bed of herbed coarse salt, accented with a dash of Japanese shiso sauce and a small pearl of olive oil that perfectly balances the surging brininess of the fleshy shellfish. It is a simple dish, masterfully conceived, that unselfconsciously integrates flavors from Asia and Europe as if they naturally belong in a Norwegian restaurant. It's only one course. But this, it seems to me, is a symbol of what Oslo could one day become.

are you sure that root = /dev/hda3 is correct?
try to run fdisk /dev/hda, and press "p" to see the partition table, or just check /etc/fstab to see where the root (/) partition is located.. i guess root partition will be /dev/hda1 or hda2..

Hi again, Well, I got a bumper crop of Jewel berries. This was their second year, and they were amazing! A few stragglers are still turning red, but mostly the season is done. I've been reading a lot about how to care for a strawberry patch post-fruiting, but it's kind of confusing. This is what I've retained: Remove foliage, fertilize, and keep them watered until first frost. But what should I fertilize with? I don't have any homemade compost yet. It's still cooking. Also, should I keep the runners, or remove them? I am seeing new growth at the crowns. Anything else I should know? Thank you, as always. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I use 10-10-10 on my patch ,I use the runners to increase the size of my patch and also to replace older plants |
I ususally just run over the patch with my mower, I set the deck p.high to leave about 6" of stems or so, I thin the plants so nothing is closer than 10-12", moving runners to fill in empty spots, transplant or remove any older unproductive plants. Got a big bag of Plant-tone, i think it is 5-3-3, that works for me, in the past I have used 10-10-10 also or any other things I've had lying around. The important part in summer care is to mow em down and bag the foliage, and re/apply more mulch. Mowing triggers next years berries. In years where I have forgotten to mow, my yield was decreased on average by 25-40% overall. |
Many of my June bearing are mixed in with everbearing. So I don't really cut them back till fall. Currently both are still producing. I just cut them all back in the fall. I use organic products and fertilize them all after the Junes finish. Currently using MicroLife Vegetable and Floral 8-4-6. Junes are still producing for me. Todays' Harvest (The white are pineberries and some alpines) |
My patch has Jewel and Earlyglow [the best] and has finished its second year. Last year I mowed them off, fertilized with Plantone and 12-12-12, an watered. I grow a solid and wide mat. I had to pull off hundreds of runners three times because I needed no more interior runners. It worked extremely well and produced very, very well this year. I plan to repeat the procedure this year, but till out a strip in the middle to take out the oldest plants...probably not necessary but the 'experts' who know not my healthy patch ... |
This is news to me. I have only owned my house since the fall. What do I do? Just snip all the foliage off? How do I know if I have june bearing or ever bearing? |

Thanks for the replies, and the fertilizer ideas! I can't mow the patch--I actually have a huge raised bed. So I had to cut the foliage with shears--very long, punishing work. I have seen very few runners. Is that a concern? This is their second year. Also, what is the difference between seeing new, tender "buds" (are they the crowns?) and runners? |
Runners look like leaf stems anywhere from 12-24" long, running parallel to the ground. At the end of the runner will be a node that will root and form an identical plant, sometimes that node will will then form its own runner. Some varieties run more than others. June bearing Vs Ever bearing/ Day Neutral, not sure if there is a surefire way to differentiate them, other than if you get strawberries in July, August or September, you don't have June bearing ;p |
The first year I had my small patch, I cut it back right after harvest and almost killed everything because we had a heat wave and there wasn't enough foliage to protect the plants. Now I wait a while until the summer heat breaks before trimming it back. Like was mentioned above I direct runners to fill in the blank spots, and use some 5-10-5, or 10-10-10 in the fall. |
I don't believe compost works well for fertilizing an established strawberry bed. The plants are heavy feeders, and they need more P & K, not too much N. You can't dig compost into the soil, or you harm the roots. If you just dump a lot of it on top, you risk burying the crowns. I think one reason for moving the bed from time to time is because the soil gets depleted, not because the plants get exhausted, as is often said. Establishing a new bed is the best opportunity to work in a lot of compost. |

The Lady Wildcats were strong at the plate as they blasted the Lady Rams 15-0 in game one and 19-0 in game two. Both games ended after three innings due to the 15-run mercy rule.
With the sweep, the Lady Wildcats improved to 4-2 overall with a 2-0 mark in Region 3-4A.
Cleveland's Taylor Collins was the winning pitcher in game one, and Brianna Garner was the winning pitcher for game two. Both Collins and Garner threw no hitters. Collins struck out eight batters, walked three and hit one batter.
The Lady Wildcats came out on fire in game one. In the bottom half of the first, the Lady Wildcats got the bats going as Cassie Skelton stroked a RBI-triple that scored Kellie Cummins for a 1-0 lead. The next batter, Collins, laid down a bunt single that scored Skelton for a 2-0 advantage. Taylor's sister, Lauren Ashley Collins, kept the onslaught going as she drove in a run with a single for a 3-0 ball game. McKarlee Ingram ended up loading the bases as she reached safely on a bunt single with no outs still in the inning. Gentry managed to turn a double play on the next CHS at bat, but Cleveland responded with a double from Morgan Ray that scored two runs for a 5-0 Cleveland cushion.
Taylor got in her zone in the top of the second as she struck out all three batters in the inning. The Lady Wildcats followed that strong first inning by socking seven hits in the bottom of the second and scoring five runs for a 10-0 lead.
In the top of the third, Collins walked the lead off batter, but struck out three of the next four hitters she faced to keep the no-hit shutout alive.
The Lady Wildcats scored four more runs in the bottom of the third for a 14-0 lead and then proceeded to bring the contest to a close when Ray scored off an inside the park homerun for a 15-0 lead to end the ball game.
In the game two, the Lady Wildcats came out fast and strong jumping out to an 8-0 lead in the first inning. Cleveland scored four runs in the second and seven runs in the third for a 19-0 win.
Cleveland will be back in action Thursday in Greenwood against Amanda Elzy with the first pitch set for 4 p.m.

Well, that settles it (maybe, possibly, probably not): According to CNN, an unnamed inaugural official has confirmed that Beyoncé lip-synched while performing the "Star-Spangled Banner" on Monday.
"Because she didn't have time to rehearse with the Marine Band, she decided to use her recording with the Marine Band," the official said, noting that the singer didn't arrive in Washington D.C. until late Sunday night. The official doesn't know why Beyoncé elected not to sing live — by all accounts, "she was spot on" in her pre-recording session, and "she's actually a very good live singer." There's apparently no word on why Bey ripped out her earpiece mid-song, either.

Hebrew Names Version (HNV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 After these things the word of the LORD came to Avram in a vision, saying, "Don't be afraid, Avram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward." | 1 After this, the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision: "Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your very great reward." |
2 Avram said, "Lord GOD, what will you give me, seeing I go childless, and he who will inherit my estate is Eli`ezer of Dammesek?" | 2 But Abram said, "O Sovereign LORD, what can you give me since I remain childless and the one who will inherit my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?" |
3 Avram said, "Behold, to me you have given no seed: and, behold, one born in my house is my heir." | 3 And Abram said, "You have given me no children; so a servant in my household will be my heir." |
4 Behold, the word of the LORD came to him, saying, "This man will not be your heir, but he who will come forth out of your own body will be your heir." | 4 Then the word of the LORD came to him: "This man will not be your heir, but a son coming from your own body will be your heir." |
5 The LORD brought him outside, and said, "Look now toward the sky, and count the stars, if you are able to count them." He said to Avram, "So shall your seed be." | 5 He took him outside and said, "Look up at the heavens and count the stars--if indeed you can count them." Then he said to him, "So shall your offspring be." |
6 He believed in the LORD; and he reckoned it to him for righteousness. | 6 Abram believed the LORD, and he credited it to him as righteousness. |
7 He said to him, "I am the LORD who brought you out of Ur of the Kasdim, to give you this land to inherit it." | 7 He also said to him, "I am the LORD, who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to take possession of it." |
8 He said, "Lord GOD, whereby will I know that I will inherit it?" | 8 But Abram said, "O Sovereign LORD, how can I know that I will gain possession of it?" |
9 He said to him, "Take me a heifer three years old, a female goat three years old, a ram three years old, a turtle-dove, and a young pigeon." | 9 So the LORD said to him, "Bring me a heifer, a goat and a ram, each three years old, along with a dove and a young pigeon." |
10 He took him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each half opposite the other; but he didn't divide the birds. | 10 Abram brought all these to him, cut them in two and arranged the halves opposite each other; the birds, however, he did not cut in half. |
11 The birds of prey came down on the carcasses, and Avram drove them away. | 11 Then birds of prey came down on the carcasses, but Abram drove them away. |
12 When the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell on Avram. Now terror and great darkness fell on him. | 12 As the sun was setting, Abram fell into a deep sleep, and a thick and dreadful darkness came over him. |
13 He said to Avram, "Know for sure that your seed will be sojourners in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them. They will afflict them four hundred years. | 13 Then the LORD said to him, "Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own, and they will be enslaved and mistreated four hundred years. |
14 I will also judge that nation, whom they will serve. Afterward they will come out with great substance. | 14 But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will come out with great possessions. |
15 But you will go to your fathers in shalom. You will be buried in a good old age. | 15 You, however, will go to your fathers in peace and be buried at a good old age. |
16 In the fourth generation they will come here again, for the iniquity of the Amori is not yet full." | 16 In the fourth generation your descendants will come back here, for the sin of the Amorites has not yet reached its full measure." |
17 It came to pass that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold, a smoking furnace, and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. | 17 When the sun had set and darkness had fallen, a smoking firepot with a blazing torch appeared and passed between the pieces. |
18 In that day the LORD made a covenant with Avram, saying, "To your seed have I given this land, from the river of Mitzrayim to the great river, the river Perat: | 18 On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram and said, "To your descendants I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates-- |
19 the Kinim, the Kenizzi, the Kadmoni, | 19 the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites, |
20 the Hitti, the Perizzi, the Refa'im, | 20 Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites, |
21 the Amori, the Kana`anim, the Girgashi, and the Yevusi." | 21 Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites and Jebusites." |

Having What It Takes To Be A Trainer*
Although training may seem like a glamorous profession to an observer, like any other profession, it has its hidden challenges. Having the skills to be a trainer is only one prerequisite. A much more difficult requirement for a successful trainer is to have strong mental and emotional composure. Training is a demanding profession. It requires constant energy output. If you tire quickly, become discouraged easily, or become frustrated if things do not go according to plan, training may not be for you. Here are some aspects to consider about training.
The preceding questions are not meant to discourage you, but rather to introduce the reality of a sometimes glamorous-appearing job. It may be challenging. It usually requires a great deal of work. And it can be riddled with problems. However, you forget all the difficulties when former participants tell you that "you changed their lives." Or that "you inspired them." Of course this doesn't happen on a weekly basis, but it does happen often enough to make it all worthwhile

Aviator Travel Jib Review
If you are in the market for a jib that is easy to travel with (long distances or short) and quick to set up, the Aviator Travel Jib by Nice Industries is worth a serious look. It sets up in under 3 minutes and is so light and compact, that I've literally carried it up a mountain and hardly realized it.
This is not a full "production jib" like you might see at a concert venue, TV studio, or large scale shoot. It is designed to increase production value in a faster paced, more "run and gun" style of field shooting. Because of it's lightweight design, this jib may require a couple of takes to get a usable shot. However, I was typically able to get my shot and a strong safety within five attempts. And I love the video I come back with when shooting with this jib!
I recommend considering the Aviator Travel Jib if you enjoy the shots a jib will give you, but need to be portable and shoot with a tighter deadline.
I used the Aviator Travel Jib with the Canon, 5D Mark II and on various professional, video tripods. My counter weight system for the examples shown in this video, was the included sandbag with rocks found on location. In the future, I'll almost always be using plate weights to balance the jib arm as they work better.
For this review, I have shown my raw video to give you an honest idea of what your images will look like when shooting with this system. I've included out takes to illustrate what I'm saying in my narration.

closes way too early on Saturday and takes way too many holidays!!!!! There's a reason behind me saying this!!!! I placed an order last week for hoyas form Epiphytica in Thailand. I got an email with a tracking number on 9/1/10 letting me know that the package had been shipped that morning. I just checked the number again for any updates and much to my surprise the box arrived at my post office at 2:12 pm my time,less than an hour ago. The post office is closed already for the day and Monday is a holiday!
Now let me ask how do you think I feel knowing that I have a brand new box of hoyas to play with and they're just sitting at the PO and I can't get to them!!!! I called but all I got was a stupid recording, maybe i'll drive down and see if anyone is still there and if they'll let me have the box. I seriously doubt they will though. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I feel your pain!!! grrrr. |
If it is going to a PO box they will be there or the storage locker???So sorry ..I hope they stay ok.... |
- Posted by dmichael619 8a (My Page) on Sat, Sep 4, 10 at 18:33
Okay here's how things have progressed since my initial posting. Instead of driving down to the PO not knowing if anyone was in the back or not, I decided to call again. I stayed on the line long enough this time to actually realize that there was an answering machine advising me to leave a message at the beep which I politely did!!! I gave all the details about what was going on as well. Then I went outside to the gh for a while. When I came back in I checked my cell for any missed calls and lo and behold I had a message from the post office. It was one of the regular clerks whom I often deal with when shipping packages. I am in so often shipping things that they all know be by first name now!!! He told me that if I could get thee before 5 o'clock he give me the box. The actual time that I came in and found the message was about 4:40 luckily for me the PO is only 3 minutes from the house. SO I now have in my possession a very nice shipment of hoyas that made it from Bangkok,Thailand to my hands in 3 days!!!! they have been dipped in a fungicide/insecticide so I had to clean them up a bit but they look very nice and i'm on my way outside right now to take pictures which will be posted just as soon as I can get them uploaded!!! I certainly pays to know people at the st office,even if like I said they do close too early and take too many holidays!!! Pictures to come!!! |
- Posted by dmichael619 (My Page) on Sat, Sep 4, 10 at 19:32
Okay as promised here's the picture of my Epiphytica order. This shipment of hoyas left Bangkok, Thailand on 9/1/10--it arrived at my post office today 9/4/10. Three days is not a bad turn around time on a foreign shipment!!! This is what I got!!!! If you'd like to see individual pics of any of these you can visit their website. All of the hoyas from my order can be found on pages 5-7 |
Here is a link that might be useful: epiphytica
I'm BEYOND jealous! Carolyn |
NICE Score David...I've never heard of any Thailand orders arriving in the states in 3 days after shipping...that has to be a world record! Lucky you! Enjoy your very nice hoyas! |
- Posted by dmichael619 8a (My Page) on Sat, Sep 4, 10 at 21:24
Pug I don't know what kind of plane they were on but it obviously didn't waste any time anywhere!! I've gotten a number of hoya shipments from Thailand and none have ever arrived in less than a weeks time. I had one to take close to 3 weeks to get here but all of the cuttings were still healthy and viable. As you said this has got to be a record!!! Almost makes me want to place another order!!!! |
Lucky lucky you David. I am so happy you got those babies today instead of Tuesday. |
Hey David what is the one with the variegated leaf? Nice batch, now tapping foot trying to decide if I want to place another order from thailand this year. Dee |
Nice cuttings David and unbelievably fast shipping! The various aff. rigida species are all very nice looking plants. I was able to add Hoya sp ETS 10 to and order I just put in with Mr. Shirley, really excited about growing that one. Mike |
- Posted by dmichael619 8a (My Page) on Sun, Sep 5, 10 at 15:14
Dee, that's EPC 469 sp. ETS10. I have absolutely no idea what ETS10 means though!!!! Not sure what the blooms look like either,the foliage is what attracted me to it. Mike Epiphytica has several nice aff rigidas that i'd like to have. He also has a pink flowered one that I tried to get but it was sold out. Jack the guy who owns the nursery has been an online friend of mine for several years now and offered me the chance last month to get mass cuttings at a reduced price to redistribute ,like a David Liddle order but i've already hosted one this year and just wasn't up to do another one right now. This might very well be something that I would take on in the sprig of 2011 though if enough people were interested. We'll just have to wait and see!! David |
I am standing in line for the spring David. I really like the "speckled" leaves. There are so many variations to the speckled look. Dee |
David, I am TOTALLY in for a spring order! Carolyn |
- Posted by dmichael619 8a (My Page) on Sun, Sep 5, 10 at 17:54
check out the speckled hoya lacunosa heart leaf that he has. it was sold out is the ONLY reason it didn't come in on this order!!!! It's on my wait list with them though! |
"Eskimo"? Yeah, I LOVE that one!!!! Carolyn |
- Posted by greedyghost 4 (My Page) on Tue, Sep 7, 10 at 15:36
Put me in the line, too! What a lovely order. I feel you on the Saturday hours front! And I am inspired by your noble and successful campaign against post office hours. Soooo much more effective than the time I got to the post office too late Sat w/Carolyn's package and had to go to 5 different locations (including a stab at FedEx) before it was successfully posted with sommmmmeeeee deception about the contents. (Did you know that non postal employees (aka the lady at Walgreens) can't accept plants?) That aff lyii sounds really charming and of course I love the aff rigidas... v_v |
David, Spring of 2011 already arrived for you all!!!! I'm trying to place an order with Jack, but he does not answer me when the order is placed. I saw that you and Jack are friends, so please tell him to answer me! LOL. I think he might be out somewhere. |

hi Mitzi, That's sort of typical for Jack!!! Usually if he doesn't respond to an email right away, in most cases it means he's out collecting hoyas!!! Anytime he's around the nursery he will normally respond within a day or two at most. I've got a list of things I wish to order from him as well, I just haven't gotten around to sending it to him yet. david |
David, He answered me!!! He was probably doing what you said! Collecting our beatiful hoyas. Thank you for your answer! He seems to be a nice person! |
- Posted by dmichael619 8a (My Page) on Wed, Mar 30, 11 at 18:34
Mitzi, I've only ever dealt with Jack via email and he's never been anything but friendly. Anytime he writes to me he always asks about my family and my cats,not only is he a hoya person but he likes animals as well. I knew he'd get back to you sooner or later as he always does. He's not one to just not reply to emails. As I mentioned in the opening of this thread i've been dealing with him for several years now and have not had any issues with him ever getting back to me. Sometimes it may take a day or two sometimes a little longer but most times that just because he's in the jungle looking for our favorite plant!!!! I'm glad to hear that he got back in touch with you,now that I know he's in I may as well go ahead and get my list in as well!!! david david |

David, Are you still considering doing a group order with Jack? If so, add me to the list as well! I totally drool when looking at his site.... Kelly |
- Posted by dmichael619 8a (My Page) on Thu, Mar 31, 11 at 15:12
Kelly, I did email Jack last night about some things i'd like to buy from him and had a response this morning. After emailing him though I thought about him asking me last year if i'd be interested in hosting a group order for his plants. Basically just like we do with Iris Marie I guess is how it would go. I'll email him again and see what he has to say about doing something like that. I'm sure a group order to Epiphytica would spark a LOT of interest as he has some really cool hoyas. I'll talk to him and see what he says but i'm not gonna make any promises here that this will be a reality. david |
- Posted by kellyknits 6/WV Eastern Panhand (My Page) on Thu, Mar 31, 11 at 15:28
Good enough- even the consideration is appreciated! My want list just from that site is $325...needless to say, I would not be ordering that much... Thanks, David! |
Kelly, WOW your wish list is very expensive! I wish I could order as much cuts as I want but due to the problems with custom and post office the order always must be around 8 cuts, nothing more! Also I'd love to participate with you guys but the distance does not allow me to! Very sad! Mitzi |
- Posted by dmichael619 8a (My Page) on Thu, Mar 31, 11 at 16:14
Kelly, Don't feel bad. I sent my wish list in to him last night. Actually it was just a reminder for a wish list that I had sent to him last year as some of the ones I wanted last year were temporarily out of stock. Turns out they are all back in stock and my invoice was attached to the email. I'm not gonna give the exact $$$ amount but I will tell you that it was only $10.00 off from what your wish list $$$ amount is!!!! I ordered 13 hoyas from him this time and already grow between 25-30 others that I bought in the past from him. A number of them are currently forming buds for the very first time since getting them so i'm quite anxious to see them in bloom. One thing I can say about the plants that i've gotten from Jack is that they have all arrived nice and healthy and i've always been pleased with the size of them as well. My only issue with them would be it seems that anything that I get from Thailand tends to be a bit slow getting started. Most of what I have gotten from him has arrived as rooted plants so it's not an issue with rooting them,they just seem to sulk for a while,then they suddenly get over it and start to grow!!! |
- Posted by kellyknits 6/WV Eastern Panhand (My Page) on Thu, Mar 31, 11 at 21:37
You go, David! In the earlier picture of the ones you received last year what is wrapped around the bottom of them? And these are all rooted? |
- Posted by dmichael619 8a (My Page) on Fri, Apr 1, 11 at 16:14
Kelly, those were all in sphagnum moss with plastic wrap around it,yes they were all rooted. They all survived but one which I had a feeling was going to die to begin with (sp. ETS10) but that's on my new order so i'll have a new one soon. the really thick leaf hoya to the upper right is about to bloom and is really neat. I have in the past gotten hoyas from Jack that came rooted in coconut husk but he hasn't sent any like that in a while. It's like small thick slabs with the cutting rooted right into it and a rubber band around the entire thing. I did email Jack yesterday to see what he thought about a group order but haven't heard back from him yet. David |
David, I believe the weather contributes for the delayed development of hoyas from Thailand, there is a tropical country, probably like Brazil hot and humid, and the plants should get stressed with the climate change. My last order from Paul Shirley was a disaster, there was snowing and when they arrived here was very hot, I lost most of the cuts, the abruptly change of temperature kill all the cuts. By the way how long does your cuts from Jack took to arrive? Interesting he told me he is going to send all rooted plants! Really nice! Mitzi |
- Posted by dmichael619 8a (My Page) on Fri, Apr 1, 11 at 20:21
Mitzi, I live just about a mile and a half from the Atlantic ocean so it get quite HOT and VERY humid here during the spring and summer months but climate change probably does have something to do with them getting a slow start. As far as how long it takes for me to get hoyas from jack that I would guess just depends on U.S. customs. I have gotten hoyas form him in as little as a week and then again I have had it to take several weeks. In each case though the cuttings arrived safely and in great condition. Jack packs and ships them well so I usually don't worry about travel time with his plants. I think you'll be pleased with the hoyas that you get from him. I always have been with the ones I get and he always includes a phyto with the order so there usually isn't any problem with customs. david |
David, I thought you lived in a cool area, sorry. I'm glad to hear that even taking long the plants arrived well, it was my major concern. I hope the cuts I've choosen are well resistant! Mitzi |

Thanks for checking this out, David. I'm interested too! |
- Posted by kellyknits 6/WV Eastern Panhand (My Page) on Mon, Apr 4, 11 at 12:54
What does he have wrapped around them? Keep us posted! |
Ohhh and I cannot participate!!! It is very frustrating! Mitzi |
- Posted by kellyknits 6/WV Eastern Panhand (My Page) on Wed, Apr 13, 11 at 10:17
Think I have my list just about narrowed down! David, let us know what kind of timetable we're looking at if you're willing to do it! Thanks! |
Hey David I,m in too. Please let me know. |
- Posted by dmichael619 8a (My Page) on Thu, Apr 14, 11 at 17:48
David, those hoyas look great.I am also going to be putting in a order with jack next week.I look forward to seeing my order look this good.Its nice to see such healthy plants coming out of Bangkok. Cindy |
David do you have to have an import cert. in order to bring them in ? |
- Posted by dmichael619 8a (My Page) on Thu, Apr 14, 11 at 19:36
Cindy, have you ever ordered from Jack before??? I've always been very pleased with what I get from him as far as quality and size goes. Also if he doesn't have something that you're looking for often times he will try to track it down for you. If this is your first time with him,I think you'll be pleased with the hoyas you receive. I do have an import permit to import/export plant material but only use it in cases where I bring in more than 13 cuttings/plants. Many people don't know this but it is legal to have up to 13 cuttings/plants imported into the U.S. without a permit. Over 13 i'd highly advise that you have a permit and a phyto if required. I'm pretty sure that in most cases a phyto is a requirement for any size order. A few years ago I had a shipment of very healthy hoya cuttings destroyed by U.S. customs simply because the shipment was not accompanied by a phyto certificate. All I got was a piece of paper stating that they had destroyed my pest free,disease free hoyas because of a single document missing from the box. |
Thank you so much David.I used to have one many years ago when I brought orchids in. |

Gorgeous! Congratulations on your awesome haul! What are the IDs of (1) bottom left corner and (2) dead center with the small lanceolate leaves? |
- Posted by dmichael619 8a (My Page) on Thu, Apr 14, 11 at 22:14
GG, #1 in the lower left corner is EPC 374 sp. LP4 and you can find it on page 5 of the Epiphytica website hoya list. The center plant with the lanceolate leaves is EPC 229 sp.RCBR-SP-YKL clone A. If you look on the homepage you will see it in bloom. There is two shots of it one with the flowers partially open and farther down towards the bottom a shot of the blooms fully open. Both pics have EPC 229 on them so you'll know what you're seeing when you see it!!! |
- Posted by kellyknits 6/WV Eastern Panhand (My Page) on Thu, Apr 14, 11 at 23:03
Nice haul, David! Thanks for identifying them - will have to look them all up this weekenda and compare them to Epiphytica wish list! Off hand I only know of two of the ones on your list! Kelly |
- Posted by greedyghost 5 (My Page) on Fri, Apr 15, 11 at 12:22
Thanks for the IDs, David! I have to say, I'm getting more proficient at tracking down images of these unidentified Hoyas, but EPC374 is almost trackless. Were you able to find an image before you selected it or did you take a gamble? That EPC 229 sp.RCBR-SP-YKL clone A is making my head go all fuzzy with love. Green AND fuzzy AND small attractive leaves?! It's like someone reached down and pulled it right out of my subconscious. |
Hi David, How long hoyas did take to reach you??? Mine from Jack are already in Brazil and took only 3 days to arrive, but still at custom. Thanks Mitzi |
David, Sorry, I just read your post about how long it took to arrive! |
- Posted by dmichael619 8a (My Page) on Fri, Apr 15, 11 at 16:28
GG, I don't know where or how I came up with the number EPC 374 for the hoya that you asked about. It should be EPC 376. It's the next to last hoya pictured on page 5.. There is also an EPC 374 but the one I got is 376 and I bought it based on how the foliage looked in Jack's picture. Sorry for the mishap, I didn't mean to send you on a wild goose chase!!!!! |

Bronx, New York 10451
United States
Event details
Now that Muammar Gaddafi is past tense the untimely death of Tim Hetherington comes to mind again. Tim Hetherington, a multimedia journalist and World Press Photo award winner, documented the intersections of war, masculinity and identity. "Parading around imitating something they saw in a war movie" is Hetheringtons description of the Libyan rebel forces, after his return from there in March 2011. His Libyan photographs accurately depict the atmosphere during Libya's revolution, a short time before the artillery barrages, he had documented, struck him. Resulting in his untimely death.
We also reviewed Tim's book Infidel and wrote about the announcement of the annual €20.000 grant initiated in his memory.
The Bronx Documentary Center exhibits the works of Tom Hetherington during his time in Libya.
And finally, you can see the final photos taken by Tim Hetherington before he was killed in Misratah, Libya, on April 20, 2011.

Used 18 graham crackers (which yielded well over two cups) plus an extra half stick of butter for the crust. Turned out great.

Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (TEVA:US), which said six months ago it would focus on treatments for respiratory and central nervous system illnesses, announced it will acquire U.S.-based inhaler developer MicroDose Therapeutx.
Teva will pay $40 million for MicroDose's outstanding shares and as much as $125 million in additional payments pending regulatory and development milestones, plus royalties, the Petach Tikva, Israel-based company said in a statement today. MicroDose is developing MDT-637 for respiratory syncytial virus, a respiratory virus that infects the lungs and breathing passages.
"The MicroDose platform is both simple and attractive, and their addition will help us to address the unmet needs of the youngest and oldest patients," Michael Hayden, chief scientific officer at Teva, said in the statement.
The acquisition gives Teva access to MicroDose's multidose device, which can be administered in less than 30 seconds, according to Teva. The deal fits with Teva's strategy shift away from multibillion-dollar acquisitions into an increased reliance on smaller deals in areas where it is already strong. Teva had $856 million in respiratory sales last year and is developing treatments for a wide range of illnesses through its Spiromax device.

Anthony Johnson – Defensive Tackle
LSU does an outstanding job recruiting defensive linemen. Year after year they sign some of the top linemen in the southeast. They not only sign these payers, they develop and play them. When you watch LSU tape, you see that at least eight defensive linemen play in their rotation. This philosophy gives LSU the ability to keep fresh linemen on the game and also gives the younger players game experience in which to develop.
This is Johnson's third year at LSU and his first as a starter, but he had gotten significant playing time in each of his first two years playing in the rotation. His nickname is "The Freak", and that should tell you a little about his athleticism. Right now, he stands at about 6'3 -295. He came to LSU at over 330 and has worked to lose over 30 pounds. The weight loss has increased his speed, quickness, and stamina. He has excellent initial quickness and very good natural strength and power. He flashes dominating ability as both a run defender and a pass rusher. He doesn't have top instincts at this time. While he makes the dominant play, there are other plays where he does not know where the ball is.
He usually lines up as a defensive tackle, but in some packages he will line up on the nose in a 3-man line. With his power, he can be difficult to knock off the line. As a result, he is disruptive in the running game. So far in 2013, he only has two sacks, but he gets a lot of pressure and his ability to collapse the pocket makes the QB move. He still needs to develop better hand use.
Johnson has unlimited talent and the traits to become a Pro Bowl type player. At this time, he still needs to develop better hand use and his recognition skills need to improve. In saying that, more teams are going to look at the positives and figure they can fix the negatives. He will be a high pick, and unless he gets injured or his play drops off dramatically, he may be a top 10 pick when it's all said and done. He best fits a 4-3 team as a 3-technique player, but he can really play in any scheme and be a productive player.

The Milwaukee Brewers have re-signed veteran shortstop Alex Gonzalez to a one-year, $1.5 million deal, according to Ken Rosenthal.
Gonzalez saw his season cut short for the Brewers last year after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament while sliding into second base in a game against the Giants in early May. He's expected to backup Jean Segura, who was acquired from the Angels in the Zack Greinke deal.
Last season, Segura hit .264/.321/.331 in 44 games for the Brewers.
Gonzalez, who has played for the Marlins, Red Sox, Reds, Blue Jays and Braves over his 14 year career, has posted a .259/.326/.457 slash line with 156 home runs.
This off-season has been a quiet one for the Brewers, who have signed reliever Mike Gonzalez, pitcher Tom Gorzelanny and infielder Donnie Murphy to free agent deals.

Arts Administration is the business of creating, developing and managing nonprofit arts organizations. These include:
It is a mission-based organization that seeks to benefit the "greater good" of the community. Typically, nonprofits earn only a portion of their total revenues (from ticket sales or gate fees, for example) and rely on contributed income to cover the true costs of their work. Any profits earned must be invested in the organization's programs and services.
They run and work for nonprofit arts organizations. Their duties can include:
Arts administrators are the bridge between art, artists and audiences.
The Butler program is fully integrated into the University's core and liberal arts curriculum as well as the arts disciplines. Students are encouraged to be personally involved in a variety of art forms. Ours is one of the first comprehensive undergraduate Arts Administration programs in the country.
There are a variety of professional positions that are associated with managing arts organizations. These include:
The Bachelor of Science (BS) program at Butler University (BU) focuses on:
Each degree requires 128 credit hours, including:
To enroll, you need to apply and be accepted into Butler University (BU) and the Jordan College of the Arts (JCA).
To apply to BU and the JCA, you'll need to complete:
If you are already a Butler student in another degree or exploratory program, you will need to interview with the department chair for admission to the Arts Administration Department.
Double majors and minors are definite possibilities for any Butler student. The student must meet the requirements of both departments to be granted the double major or minor.
Butler offers many opportunities to study abroad regardless of your major. Butler also offers a semester of study in Washington D.C.
Arts Administration graduates have over a 90% placement success and many of the jobs come about as a result of the required arts administration internship. Some examples of jobs our graduates have been offered:
This is dependent on the size and location of the organization.
After attending an Arts Administration Internship meeting, the student may begin his or her own internship search.
Yes. Business, leadership, writing & communication skills as well as teamwork & planning are all desirable skills in the for-profit world.
Absolutely! Because the Arts Administration degree requires classes in many disciplines (business, journalism, and the University's Core Curriculum), students who spend time in the Arts Administration department are well prepared to move into most any other field of study.
Not at this time.
Currently, there are approximately 90 students in the department with 2 full-time professors and adjunct professors joining the faculty on a regular basis.
Because of Butler's Core Curriculum requirements (where every undergraduate student takes the same Core courses), changing your major is possible.

Many times it takes the determination of one very special person to fill a need. It is also a very special community to come together and stand with that person and accomplish the goal.
It was about four years ago when Thomas Dale Alumnus, Keith Togna, was sitting watching a rain delayed Thomas Dale High School JV baseball game. It was about 45 degrees, windy and the rain was pouring down. The players sat in their "dugout" which was little more than a fenced space with a bench which had no roof or any protection from the elements. They were miserable and they and their equipment were getting soaked. Keith saw their plight and decided right then to try to to do something about it.
Over the next year and a half Keith learned a lot about how to get a dugout built. First he learned that the local government would not pay for dugouts. Any dugouts that were at the other local schools had been built with private donor money and effort. Keith also quickly discovered that if he wanted to build dugouts for the boy's baseball field he had to do so also for the girl's softball team as this fell under the Equal Opportunity in Education Act also know as Title IX. So now instead of two dugouts he had to raise funds to build four. It would take a lot of fund-raising but first it had to be determined how much money was actually needed. Luckily a local engineering firm, Austin Brockenbrough & Associates, agreed to provide an estimate, design and construction drawing at no cost. Unfortunately their estimate came to $50,000. Keith knew then he would need a lot of help to get that kind of money.
Keith initially reached out to the Thomas Dale administration and it's baseball coach to see what sort of fund-raising they could do. He found out that by school policy they could only do fund-raising for a specific purpose and they were limited to only two specific fund-raising activities per year. Under those restrictions it would be a long time to raise the amount of money needed. Regardless of this they decided to go ahead and try to raise the money while Keith would reach out to local businesses, individuals and service organizations.
By the Spring of 2010 Keith had raised close to $4,000 for the project. It was then that word reached the owner of Eaton General Contractor Inc, Kevin Eaton, about the project and he decided to help. He looked over the designs and through the use of donated or reduced cost materials and labor he cut the estimate to $16,000. It was a significant step forward but the project still needed $12,000 to even get started.
The next stop was County Board of Supervisors. Keith had learned that each district had a discretionary fund under control of it's Supervisor so Keith approached his Bermuda District Supervisor, Dorothy Jaeckle, about the project. She visited the ball field and saw that this could be a true community effort. She agreed to take the project before the Board and with her support the County agreed to provide the remaining funds needed. It was the Fall of 2010 and construction could now begin.
However, construction projects that rely on donated materials and labor do not happen quickly. Most work was done on the weekends but that also resulted in it becoming even more of a community effort. Many parents and the baseball coach helped out. The Chesterfield County Technical Center used the dugouts as one of their carpentry projects and built roof beams for each dugout. The project also battled the elements when Hurricane Irene blew the roof off one of the dugouts. Vandals damaged another as well but the project went on with undiminished support from all involved.
After nearly two years the dugouts are complete except for a few final touches which should be done by the time of the first home game on March 22nd. Supervisor Dorothy Jaeckle is scheduled to throw out the ceremonial first pitch to commemorate the project completion.
Keith Togna would like to thank everyone involved for their hard work and resolve on this project. Perhaps those in attendance at the first rain delayed game will remember that it took the determination of one man and willingness of his community to help that made sure our kids are now dry and comfortable in their dugout.
