Honestly, I don't even Love it! It was My first plant over ten years ago. A beautiful, Full, Shiny Pothos. I was so excited. It's such an easy plant to care for, (it practically takes care of it's self!)
As orchids and violets came and died, It lived!As cactus and succulents shriveled under my watchful, over watering eye, it lived. As my collection grew and i figured out what I could keep not only alive but thriving, It lived! Now it sits in pot in a spare room spindly and missing leaves at least 8 inches from the soil to the growth that reaches the floor. It's such a homely plant. Some days I contemplate just throwing it out or cutting it back and letting it start fresh. But I just keep it the way it is and think about how one little plant purchased over 10 years started an obsession of trial, error, Propagation, seed collection, and searching clearance racks for plants that i can take home and give new life to. |

kaykay-08, reminds me of the saying, "A journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step". |
:) Very true! |
Aw, give the poor thing a big ol' haircut so it can look pretty again! If it's any kind of reasonable condition, you can make several stem cuttings (don't lose track of which end is 'up') and stick them in a pot, too! |

I second Rhizo's suggestion. Take some cuttings. I root Pothos in water, but some prefer soil. After they root, stick them in the same plant w/mom. Your Pothos will be compact. BTW, have you repotted, added fresh soil or fertilized in the last 10 yrs? Toni |
Thanks for the comments all! I have made cuttings for friends in the past! Yes Toni the poor thing has been re potted and fertilized in the past! I have to admit though it's been awhile. |

Kay, don't feel bad. I won't dare say the number of years my Pothos has been in the same pot, same soil, and w/o fertilizer..lol.. |
I'm thinking a new soil/repot is in order as well. Especially if you said it's been awhile. I think I would try all of the above. Repot and Haircut! |

They grow so fast; I find that mine look spindly quickly if I don't stay on top of trimming (and I never do). I hate cutting off all those long strands and throwing them away (how many does one need and I've given away cuttings to everyone I know and some I don't know). I have learned to throw them away down the trash shoot so I won't try to rescue them, lol. But, in a month or so when the new growth starts, a few strands are spilling over, and they look so full and perky? It's totally worth it! |
The guilt has gotten the best of me! I gave the guy a massive haircut and started some newbies! Re potting should take place in a few weeks(ish)! |
- Posted by lathyrus_odoratus 5A-IL (My Page) on Sat, Feb 26, 11 at 3:29
Boy, can't believe I wrote trash shoot! I must have been tired, lol. Trash chute, I meant. Too funny. Kaykay-08, I'm sure it's a much better looking plant, or at least will be when it adds just a bit of growth. Maybe I cut too much, lol, because they're always sort of naked looking at first. |
I also have a Pothos (my very 1st Plant in US) It's 12 years old, even older than my Cat (she is 11) So, I'm determined to keep it alive :) So, I took some cuttings from my hanging Pothos, made it climb this time. It looks great :) |
I have one too! It was my second plant after a stock of lucky bamboo. I found mine on top of a dumpster in the city.. guess some shop threw it out because it was looking bedraggled. It's kind of the plant I experiment on now, lol. |

Entrepreneurship Lessons from the Front Lines
2013 was one of the hardest years of my life. It wasn't the hardest but it was challenging. The hardest, was 1 year as a kid when my dad got Parkinson's, my mom got sick, my mom's best friend died, and the grandparent who helped raise me withered away like ash with cancer right in front of my eyes.
That's a different kind of hard. This year was not hard in that way. I've been humbled more times than years I'll live and I've been fortunate just as many times. This image of Forrest Gump seems to incapsulate my life countless times this year.
I meet someone I don't know. They're telling me nice things and I'm confused about what I'm doing there and I just have to pee. I realize I drank too much water and then look over and realize that's a Clinton at the other table and everyone seems to have a story that starts with MIT, Harvard, or Stanford. This is life in 2013. It was a weird one.

"Chicken with 40 Cloves of Garlic in a Clay Pot" is the recipe name. Think I'm gonna have to try this one!
Got any to add that uses a lot of garlic? KSRogers, I liked your simple recipe for pickling them on the harvest forum. |
Here is a link that might be useful: from Recipe Zaar
Follow-Up Postings:
The 40 clove recipe has been around a while. An old PBS show had it done by the Frugal Gourmet Jeff Smith. My pickled garlic uses either dill weed and seeds, or a few red pepper flakes. Or an italian version with some oregano added. All three are really great and I avoid long processing times as it takes too much of the crispness out of them. I don't want to 'cook' the garlic cloves in a vinegar brine, only preserve them and prevent food poisoning. I firmly believe that if the brine is at least 70% vinegar and some pickling salt is added, the end result is a very safe product. For a slightly different twist, I also add a little turmeric as a yellow color to give them a bit more brightness. Eaten out of the jar, or cut up course in salads is a great way to serve them. |

If you live in New York or much of the United States, you've noticed the weather this week – temperatures (in Fahrenheit) down near single digits at night. Having to sleep in the living room of my small West Village apartment with its leaky windows (I'm having issues with the ceiling in my bedroom – long story) it's been one of those pile-every-blanket-you-have-on-the-bed kind of weeks.
But temperatures now pale in comparison to what people endured in the 19th century. Ice regularly blocked the rivers, and ice bridges formed (or were built) by enterprising New Yorkers on a regular basis. It seems that a few individuals were even able to skate to work from Brooklyn. The Gothamist has some great images and accounts of the cold weather and its impact on a very different New York. There are stories of people getting stuck on ice floes as the ice bridges broke up and having to rescued by tug boats, and young boys who charged for use of their ladders to get down to river and back up on the other side (perhaps like the umbrella sellers of our own era that appear every time it rains).
But the absolute best story is the enterprising soul that built a tavern on the North River one winter and dispensed food and drink to those walking across. Honestly, if it's so cold that you can walk across the Hudson River to Hoboken, you do need a place to stop for a bite to eat. With ferries not running and the tunnels to a yet-to-be-built Penn Station still a few decades away, you can visualize people having to drag their luggage across the ice to catch a train from the New Jersey side down to Philadelphia or beyond. I'm trying to imagine how a modern day 1010 Wins radio station with it's every ten minute traffic and transit news would have described this.
But (local) weather and (global) climate are not the same so we still seem to be in an era of massive global warming. Yesterday, the news pointed to a new study that concluded that glaciers in the Andes have melted at an unprecedented rate since the 1970′s, receding from 30% to 50%. Regardless what you see as the cause, global warming is a reality. So don't despair, we'll soon be back up to our seasonal temperatures (if not warmer) and New York will seem downright balmy.

text: @Chmander - Yeah, I can definitely see where you're coming from. It's amazing how much the tuition fees at my college have gone up in these past few years. Four years ago, when I was a college freshmen, I estimate that it cost about five thousand dollars for me to afford college. However, now, it's more than twice as much. Imagine how expensive educational institutions will be in the next ten years. Will most people even be able to afford college?

The reviewer, Amanda, June 11, 2010, said the recipes do not have salt in them. The recipes actually do have salt and have perfect flavor. The only exception is the Tuscan bread which is saltless by tradition. I love baking bread and love this book. Besides the wonderful recipes, it has lovely color photos for each recipe. Peter Reinhart will also answer emails if you have questions about any recipe in the book. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to bake artisan bread. While the creation of the starter may sound a bit daunting, you can find other directions for making a starter more simply and any starter works with the recipes. If you have only a very little time to devote to baking, Peter Reinhart has another book, Artisan Breads Every Day, which simplifies the creation of artisan breads and reduces the time you need to spend in the kitchen.
Sep 11, 2010
I borrowed this book from a friend and lived it so much I had to get a copy for myself. Anyone who has ever wondered why bread rises, how to manipulate recipes and more will agree that this book is a must-have.
Feb 22, 2010
This is a great book ! You could use it every day!
Sep 3, 2009
This book has a complete college course crammed between its covers. If you want to understand how to make professional bread, this book is the one to buy. The recipes I've made so far from this book are accurate and the directions clear.

About the Initiative
National Heritage Areas across the country celebrate places with important connections to our country's culture and history.
Imagine the Possibilities: The St. Croix Valley has a rich history and a vibrant cultural life. It's a great place to live and visit. Yet, our stories and attractions are far flung – from Hastings to Cable, from Prescott to Sandstone. What if we started to envision a future where our history is the basis for regional cooperation and economic growth?
The Heritage Initiative is exploring the possibilities of a National Heritage Area in the St. Croix River region – including the 19 counties which contain streams ultimately flowing into the St. Croix.
A Heritage Area could help us work together to preserve and promote the places that make our region special. We have asked our neighbors about the idea and share the belief that our region is unique and has played a significant role in America's story.
Based on input and enthusiasm at a series of public meetings in 2012 and 2013, the Heritage Initiative is currently developing a draft proposal for a Heritage Area. The draft is based on four points:
- The abundant wildlife and white pine forests of the St. Croix region fueled the fur trade and lumber industry, transforming all aspects of culture, economy, and environment.
- This North Woods landscape at the border of Minnesota and Wisconsin– the St. Croix River watershed – represents the shared history of the Upper Midwest.
- In this place, waters, woods, and prairies connected the Great Lakes and the Mississippi, bringing together the many people – Native American, European immigrants and recent newcomers—who have called this region home.
- From unrestrained use to conservation and recreation, the existing landscape reflects competing ideas about and the constantly evolving relationship between people and the natural world.
This concept was discussed by approximately 160 attendees at the Heritage Summit in May 2013. With strong support from participants, we are now working to answer big questions about potential funding, organization, themes, outreach, community support and other topics.

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 Cleo - Adopted!!
Facts about Cleo - Adopted!
- Breed: Akita
- Color: Brown/Chocolate - With White
- Age: Young
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Female
Cleo - Adopted!'s Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Sweet, shy Cleopatra needs a home. Cleo was found as a stray. She gave birth to three pups in a den she made under someone's house. She kept her puppies safe and healthy until a Good Samaritan stepped in to get her help. She and her three pups were rescued. Now all of the pups have gone to their forever homes and it's Cleo's turn.
She is about 2 to 3 years old, 78 pounds, perfectly housebroken and good with other dogs. Cleo would do well with an active owner who likes to hike or run. She is excellent on leash and would thrive with another dog. She currently stays with 2 other dogs and she feels safe and confident around them.
She is wary around strangers but has bonded with her foster mom and would love a gentle soul to work with her and give her the love and reassurance she needs to blossom. And she has been microchipped & spayed so no more puppies!
If you are interested in meeting Cleo, please contact: Kelli at 818-609-8509 or email@example.com
(This listing is to help assist direct placements of rescues that are currently with other rescue groups, shelters or their current owners. TARA has no affiliation with the placement of these dogs, nor do we have any knowledge of or guarantee their temperament, training, socialization or health condition. By using this listing, the adopting party releases TARA from any and all liability arising out of or in any way connected with the adoption of the pet listed)
Other Pets at TikiHut Akita Rescue Association (TARA)
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Cleo - Adopted!, a Hayward Akita dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Akita for sale in Hayward, or seeking a Akita dog from a breeder in Hayward.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Hayward 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 Hayward 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 Akita breeders who help with Akita rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Hayward paves the way for another one to be saved.

In an expedited recovery that's in no way at all whatsoever motivated by the injuries to Ray Lewis and Lardarius Webb, Terrell Suggs is "targeting and expecting" to play this week when the Ravens travel to Houston.
He's planning this Herculean comeback from a torn Achilles in April despite the fact that a mid-November return has been the widely projected earliest possible date that we'd see a maniacal Suggs on a football field again, frothing and hurting people. And despite the fact that his first practice after returning from said injury was, well, yesterday.
ESPN's Adam Schefter says the entire Suggs clan — or at least a sizable chunk of it — is traveling to Houston to witness the culmination of his accelerated comeback. Share your gospel with us, Scheft:
Sources said that even Suggs' family and friends have plans to travel to Houston in anticipation of watching him stage one of the quickest returns from this type of significant injury that any athlete ever has. "Yes, that's still the plan," one source texted today. Baltimore still wants to make sure there are no setbacks this week, especially today, when Suggs returns to the training facility after his first day of practice since last season. Plus, Suggs appears to have added weight during his layoff that he may try to shed in coming weeks.
Ravens head coach John Harbaugh has declined to say anything regarding a potential timetable, which is in line with the football code. While this will be celebrated, forgive me for being hesitant to paint Suggs a hero. At the same time that recently retired players are going public with their decaying health even though they're only several years removed from the game, the current players are still often showing a willful disregard for their long-term well being, whether it's Suggs, or Calvin Johnson saying last week that playing through a concussion is just something that good football bros do. They can't have it both ways.
But hey, whatever I guess. I'll dismount my high horse that sits atop a soap box, and just enjoy Suggs returning and smashing the mucus out of dudes, because as a fan that's all I really care about.
From a fantasy perspective, a healthy Suggs is clearly less than ideal for opposing quarterbacks, as he'll quickly restore the menacing quality of a pass rush that's turned to mush this year, averaging only 1.6 sacks per game (10 overall), after moving along at a pace of three per game last year (48 overall). The Steelers still play their division rivals twice in the second half of the season, and last year over their two meetings the Ravens sacked Ben Roethlisbeger five times for a total loss of 42 yards. What's worse is that Big Ben lost five fumbles last year, and two of those came in Week 1 during his repeated Ravens battering.
So be worried, Roethlisberger owners. You too, giddy Robert Griffin III owners, because although he's kind of quick and can avoid a rush, that hasn't stopped RG3 from being throttled regularly, and flirting with his first missed game due to a concussion in just Week 6 of his first season. Washington hosts Baltimore in Week 14 — the first week of the fantasy playoffs in many leagues — and back in Week 3 against the Bengals we saw what happens when Griffin faces an elite pass rush.
With 20 sacks through six games, Cincinnati is second overall in the category that measures quarterback hurt. During that Week 3 game, Griffin was sacked five times, and he fumbled three times. For some perspective on how much of a wreck that games was compared to his other brilliance, if we exclude it then Griffin has only been sacked seven times, with two fumbles.
Can one man make that much of a difference? Well, if that one man is crazy healthy enough to make a stupid fast return from a debilitating injury after he had 14 sacks and seven forced fumbles last year, then the answer that question is a really confident probably.
UPDATE: The Baltimore Sun's Aaron Wilson has a source who basically scoffed at Schefter's report, saying that Suggs isn't playing this week, and the team would be "shocked" if he does suit up. NFL Network's Albert Breer has a similar report, citing a source who says Suggs has no idea when he'll be ready for game action. So good, we're done with that then, right?

We have had two second showings this week and the realtors always say we are in the top three. We are using a flat rate service that includes a realtor but only to list and negotiate a deal.
So should I be emailing the realtors after second showings for news or just sit back and hope for an offer? TIA! |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by adellabedella (My Page) on Sun, Jul 25, 10 at 23:12
We just usually sit back and let them make their offer. We've also been lucky that the offers have been made within 24 hours of the second showing. We've always had a realtor represent us so any type of follow up call would have been from him or her. I doubt one was made. |
What would you hope to accomplish by calling or emailing after the realtor has given you some feedback? |
If I didn't hear anything, I'd contact my Realtor and see what they could find out. |

Reviews - Sharrow Bay Country House Hotel
3 | AA Assessed Country House Hotel | Ratings explained |
Sharrow Bay is unique; the epitome of English country living in an unrivalled location surrounded by snow-topped mountains and fells, right on the shores of Lake Ullswater, widely regarded as the most beautiful lake in the country. As the Lake District's jewel in the crown, Sharrow Bay was the first ever 'country house hotel'. When the hotel first opened its doors in 1949, the then-owners, Francis Coulson and Brian Sack, brought to life their vision of a hotel whose guests feel utterly at home...and so it has continued.
A visit to Sharrow Bay will transport you to a bygone era of old-fashioned luxury, decadence and complete tranquillity, where your comfort and enjoyment is paramount. Guests simply cannot fail to be enthralled by the captivating charm of Sharrow Bay; it's one of those hotels that must be visited at least once in a lifetime, and once you've experienced the 'Gentle Art of Sharrow', once is never enough.

plough shares.
At the time, I was a serious potter and did not see the value of a 38 in my own studio... I was working toward more delicate effects that expressed skill.
I am kind of stuck in my mind on the relationship between tools and weaponry, swords and plowshares, and exploring the fascination our culture has with guns because I think it helps to explain a few things about the hands. I also believe that if we were trained in the use of tools, we would have a safer, saner and more creative culture, with less attraction to guns and gun violence. In a sense, the Czechoslovakian potter's work could be seen as a reaction to artistic and cultural repression. Unlike our situation in the US where he could get his tool for $40.00 from a thirteen year old drug dealer in Detroit, he had to borrow it from the police and return it when his blasting was complete.
There are striking similarities between a well crafted tool and a well crafted gun. They are each appealing to the hand. I have an interesting tool on my desk made by Bridge City Tool works, and although I haven't quite figured how to use it effectively in my work, I love the feel of it, its weight and how well it is crafted. Its working qualities cannot help but impress the mind, the eye and the hand. There are many of the same qualities available to the hand, in holding and handling a fine pistol or knife.
Human beings crave these tactile engagements. Our hands and attentions are captured by them. To have a pistol in your hand tells of a position of power. It can be put to destructive use without any long ritual of training or developed skill. And yes, I do know that many practice to develop skill, but also know that most do not.
Tools on the other hand, offer the same tactile qualities. A fine Lie Nielsen plane offers the same level of craftsmanship one might find in a Glock. And so it is time to compare and contrast. Both engage the hand. With a foundation of acquired skill the plane engages the imagination calling to mind things that can be created. The Glock, even with no skill, pushes the mind toward things that can be destroyed. A 38 fired into a block of porcelain leaves but a splatter and mist of that which was there before. Anything else you want to see in that state? You can do it and not undo it with what you hold in your hand.
All across the US, children have been educated in the tools of destruction. They participate endless hours in computer gaming in which their real fingers pull virtual triggers and their eyes, minds and hearts are compelled toward insensitivity to violence. Our politics tell them that holding and using real weaponry is their right. And on the other hand, our children are isolated from the tools that offer skilled creative engagement in their communities. The urgings of our hands are to engage one or the other. Our minds and imaginations take their cue from what we hold in our hands. The power to create or the power to destroy. I would prefer that our children have saws and hammers in hand, learn things that allow for the development of skill and community rather than tragedy and remorse. That we don't work toward skilled tool use in our nation's schools is a matter of my deepest concern. If what you saw happen in Arizona makes you sick as it does me, make, fix, create and make certain that every child in your own community has the same opportunity to develop skill in the use of real tools.

Today is the first day of our series of slojd carving classes at the American Swedish Institute. There is some apprehension about having 8 year olds using knives. In Swedish schools the use of knives is introduced in 3rd grade. Students learn that knives are tools, not weapons, and care must be taken in their use.
I am not teaching the class as I believe that professional craftspeople should do the teaching. As an amateur enthusiast, I want to support their paid work. - 7:47 AM

Faith, I would love to see some photos of your 8 year old woodworkers at work. One of the nice things about being in a class when you are not teaching is having the chance to observe and take photos.If you can send some, I would be pleased to share them with my readers.
I share your frustration. Knives are (or can be) tools, as they are for my son who is a chef, and you can "shoot" someone with a hot dog roll, as a little kid did to me once.

One Direction's Harry Styles Personally Collects 23 Cupcakes For Birthday Girl Taylor Swift (EXCLUSIVE)
One Direction superstar Harry Styles personally picked up 23 cupcakes to celebrate his girlfriend Taylor Swift's birthday, Celebuzz can exclusively reveal.
Kelly Blakey, co-owner of Chapelford's Village's Cupcake Company in Cheshire, England, was amazed when Styles turned up at her back door in person to pick up Swift's treats.
An assistant had previously phoned in the order requesting 23 various cupcakes -- one for each of the country singer's years.
"I could not believe it when Harry Styles was standing there in person at my back door to pick up the cupcakes," Blakey said. "When the order came in the previous evening, we had no idea who it was from -- we are an online business who bakes from home, and this is our busiest time of the year.
"I was so nervous when I handed over the delivery to Harry, but he was really kind and told me he loved all the smells coming from my kitchen."
According to Blakey, 18-year-old Styles was more than gracious when he made his cupcake payment."[He] paid for his 37 pounds delivery by handing over two 20 pound notes -- he was wearing a black beanie and sweatshirt dark jeans and white converse shoes.
"I tried to stay calm but must admit I was pretty excited inside, as it's not every day you have Harry Styles at your door picking up a delivery.
"He thanked me before carrying the cakes over to his Range Rover. Taylor was not inside, as it was supposed to be a surprise for her. I just hope she likes our baking and comes back herself next time."
Ironically, some of the cupcakes Styles ordered for squeaky-clean Swift contained a bit of alcohol."Our cupcakes are organic, so I'm sure that Taylor would appreciate that -- but some do contain a little alcohol," Blakey explained.
"Her delivery had a variety of flavors including Chocolate Decadence Fudge, Bubbilicious, Cookies and Cream, Strawberries and Cream plus a Grasshopper which has a little splash of chocolate mint liquor in it."
Styles -- whose parents live in the nearby town of Holmes Chapel -- has been giving Swift a tour of Northern England before taking her home to meet his parents.
The two have been inseparable since meeting backstage at FOX's The X Factor in November.
Do you think Taylor appreciated Harry's birthday present? Or can you think of a greater gift idea? Weigh in below.

Re: Dogma (1999)
I'd firstly just like to say im not religious in anyway (yes i've been baptised but i don't follow religion and your articles surrounding dogma have been extremely helpful) but I think Steven Greydanus's review of Dogma was a little harsh, the film does make wild claims about religion but as the disclaimer states the film is "comedic fantasy" and should no be taken as seriously as some people have. Plus the film made me want to read the bible and I'm not the biggest fan of religion, so how can a film that supposedly anti-religion be anti-religion when its made me show a little faith?
I can understand your finding my review "a little harsh." I don't think it was myself, but sensibilities differ. Regarding the film's disclaimer, which I discussed at the top of my review, I think I allowed that this reasonably gives Smith comedic license to noodle on religious themes — the Walrus and the Carpenter stuff, "Catholicism Wow!", etc. — but as I argued, not everything in the film can be put under that umbrella.
For instance, Smith is completely serious that "Mankind got it all wrong by taking a good idea and building a belief structure out of it," i.e., "Faith good, religion bad" (or "not so good") as I quoted him in my "Is Nothing Sacred? An Afternoon With Kevin Smith." And he seems to be serious that while "the Virgin Birth is a leap of faith," belief in Mary's perpetual virginity "is just plain gullibility." See also "Dogma in Dogma: A Theological Guide."
Fair is fair. If Smith wants to noodle and satirize, I'll give him as much room as he wants; but if he wants to seriously critique religious ideas and beliefs, he can be a man and take his lumps.

Let's Predict the First Cancellation of the 2011-2012 Season
- September 19th, 2011 at 6:57PM
- New Obscurities
- 6 Comments
It's here. The 2011-2012 television season officially kicks off tonight. Over the next month or so, the broadcast networks will unveil about 25 new programs. A good number of them will become new obscurities, cancelled before the season runs its course. Some might hang on the entire season. A few might even return next season. But which will be the first to get the axe? Last season, it was Lone Star (FOX). The year before that, it was The Beautiful Life: TBL (The CW).
Frankly, I haven't been paying as much attention this fall to the new programs as I have in the past. There are a handful of new shows I'm interested in sampling but I don't have a good sense of the predicted flops. The promos I've seen for How to Be a Gentleman (CBS) do not paint it in a good light, but it has a strong lead-in. I have no idea what Suburgatory (ABC) is about, which could point to a problem with marketing. And A Gifted Man (CBS) and Grimm (NBC) both air on Friday, so they are automatically in a weaker position, but expectations may be lower as well.
What do you think will be the first cancellation — and first new obscurity — of the 2011-2012 season?
October 4th, 2011 Update
NBC has canceled The Playboy Club after three very low-rated episodes, making it the first cancellation of the 2011-2012 season.
6 Comments
Another factor to add is when will the series premiere. "Grimm" would be my choice if it didn't premiere in October. By then some other show will have hit the dust. My choice is "Free Agent", bad show in a tough time slot paired with "Up All Night" that has good buzz behind it. This could make "Free Agent" the "Running Wilde" of this year. Another possible choice would be the "Playboy Club". Bad premise up against "Castle" and "Hawaii Five-0″, viewers may not even give this one a peek.
It looks like "THE PLAYBOY CLUB" will be the first to bite the dust: opposite "HAWAII FIVE-O" and "CASTLE", its initial episode managed to attract only five million viewers. And that's just about what "MAD MEN" often tallies on AMC…
This time last year two series had already been cancelled. NBC has said they plan to give their losers more time. And there are plenty of losers, viewers seem down everywhere. NBC's "Playboy Club" and "Prime Suspect" have ratings barely over 1.0. ABC's "Charlie's Angels" seemed doomed. CW has waiting to be cancelled "H8R". CBS as always seems to be doing best among the new series with "Unforgettable" looking strong in the ratings.
Wow, talk about timing. According to Deadline Hollywood, "Playboy Club" has been cancelled.
And we have our first cancellation of the season. the futon critic says four episodes remain unaired. Based on past seasons, NBC will probably make them available online at some point.
Or burn them off next summer. The fact that NBC has to put a rerun of "Prime Suspect" in its spot until a news magazine is ready tells you how bad NBC has been. Hopefully their new shows will be ready by January and worth the wait.

Listen back to Friday's show, for the Obama HipHop special. It's a show that im really proud off. Hip-hop isn't just about 'making it rain', making money, or 'getting low' in the club.
Hip-Hop is bigger than all of that, and it has a lot more to offer.
Hear what Lupe Fiasco, Busta Rhymes, Nelly, Public Enemy, Little Brother, and Joel Ortiz have to say on the impact of Obama and the Hip-Hop generation.
Watch Nelly below to see what i'm talking about:
It isn't just rappers that are taking an interest in Obama. Bob Dylan, and possibly the worlds most powerful businessman, Rupert Murdoch have been stirred by 'Obamatime'.

The British Columbia Securities Commission Wednesday found no basis to take regulatory action in the alleged government leak of confidential information reportedly causing Taseko Mines stock to plunge 32% in one day on October 14, 2010, more than two weeks before Canada's environmental minister said he would block Taseko's Prosperity project.
The Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada had referred the matter to the B.C. Securities Commission after concerns developed whether leaks in Ottawa triggered a share sell off more than two weeks before Nov. 2 announcement by the federal government that the Prosperity gold and copper project near Williams Lake would not be approved.
About 27 million Taseko (TSX: TKO; NYSE Amex: TGB) shares changed hands on Oct. 14, 2010, compared with an average daily volume of about five million shares.
In January 2010 a B.C. provincial review process had endorsed the project, noting its jobs, spin-off benefits and millions of dollar in tax revenue for regional and provincial governments. However, in July a federal advisory panel found the project would have significant impacts on fish habitat, as well as impact grizzly bears.
The Prosperity project is believed to have proven and probable reserves of 7.7 million ounces of gold and 3.6 billion pounds of copper. The measured and indicated resource (including proven and probable reserves) contains 5.3 billion pounds of copper and 13.3 million ounces of gold.
In February of this year Taseko submitted a revised Prosperity proposal to the federal government which the company said "greatly reduces environmental impacts, preserves Fish Lake and its aquatics, and enables all mine operations and related components to be contained within one single watershed, a beneficial feature of the original design."

Hi there,
I was over on the kitchen board a couple of years ago when we redid our kitchen in Chicago. We just moved to COral Gables and are gutting an Old Spanish house. I started looking at medicine cabinets for our master bath and yowza! I can't figure out which ones are good and worth the money? Considering going custom, but I am not sure that I want a wood medicine cabinet. I really like the look of the RH ones, but I did a search on here and read that they are junk? Can someone recommend an inset medicine cabinet that is mirrored on the inside (preferred but not necessary) that has pretty good stoarage for what it is? I'd prefer to spend no more than 300 some if that's even possible? Also I am not sure of the appropriate size of the medicine cabinet...our vanity is 31" side. It's this one actually: http://www.lowes.com/pd_94388-62415-RN113A27_0__?productId=3560614&Ntt=allen+roth+white+vanity&pl=1¤tURL=%3FNtt%3Dallen%2Broth%2Bwhite%2Bvanity&facetInfo= |

Faucet Direct carries Kohler and other brands and the prices are pretty good. I got a Kohler for the guest bath and will get another one for my master remodel - I like the ones with mirror in back of the shelves as well as on the back of the door. That works great for looking at the back of your hair! Most of them can be totally recessed. If you scroll through the items, or choose the "framed" option, you'll see that Nutone has some framed designs. But I don't like the insides of the Nutone med cabs - they are old-style ugly. |
We are in the process of adding a small ensuite and just purchased our medicine cabinet from Ikea. Many different sizes and styles to choose from at much better prices and quality than we found elsewhere. |

A two tier system is exactly what we have now with the general public not knowing whether KC reg means anything. All breedign stock shold be Hip and eye tested as a minimum, with breed specific tests in additon, adn we then would not need an ABS scheme, which many excellent breeders do not with to join. The paperwork alone is daunting enough for someone that breeds once in a blue moon.
Skip, 19/04/2012
Two tier system would allow KC to still register offspring from non-health tested parents, but those breeders who do health test their dogs PRIOR to breeding them should get a special level of service/registration, to differentiate the quality/health level.
Barney, 19/04/2012
In a perfect world, yes, but unless the people who want it are prepared to foot the difference with the KC for the people who don't, a compromise is needed. A double tier system like we used to have for show and non show stock for Health and non-health tested stock would seem to be needed in the interim.

KOCHI: Over the past two decades, the Coconut Development Board (CDB) has attempted to tap the potential of tender coconut water, mostly without luck as big brands kept away.
But with our humble coco water finding a legion of faithful, including Hollywood stars Gwyneth Paltrow and Courteney Cox, supermodel Gisele Bundchen and pop divas Rihanna and Madonna, who swear by its health benefits, the brands are eyeing the growing market.
At the on-going Cocotech, an international meet to promote the coconut sector, organised by Asian and Pacific Coconut Community (APCC), representatives of beverages giant Coca Cola have sought the support of Coconut Development Board for manufacturing tender coconut concentrate. They have also evinced interest in buying private units set up with CDB aid in various states that produce tender coco water products. "The delegates of Hindustan Coco Cola Beverages Private Ltd, the Indian arm of the cola giant, has shown keen interest in entering the sector to produce packaged or concentrated tender coconut water. They may buy existing tender coconut water concentrate units and have sought our help," CDB chairman T K Jose told TOI.
The entry of the global giant is expected to give that much-needed push to the ailing sector which is grappling with issues such as low price for the produce among others.
"The entry of the beverages giant will boost the sector and help in our efforts to create a better market for the coconut farmers here. A large section of people who have never used tender coconuts worldwide and are finding it benefits only recently. We may be able to corner a share of this new customers," Jose said.
The CDB has given financial assistance to ten units which process tender coconut water in the country - four in Tamil Nadu, three in Karnataka, two in Andhra Pradesh and one in Gujarat. The cost of these units vary from Rs 75 lakh to Rs three crore. Each unit processes around 10,000 coconuts a day.
When TOI contacted representatives of Hindustan Coca Cola Pvt Ltd, Mitali Menda and Prashanth Shukla, they refused to divulge the details.

Very interesting! I wonder if they can be grown in TX. |
I've often considered planting some currents but they sounded to good to be true (like Bush Cherries did, I yanked these after 3 years). But we do like to make jams so currents may make a good addition to our strawberry, fig, peach, and blueberry recipes. The anti-oxidant content alone makes them desirable. Bet they'd blend well with other flavors too. |
