Hello everyone, This is my first time growing onions from seed and I started them (redwing hybrid)two weeks ago. They have been up for about a week and are under lights. My question is when do I pot up and what size pot do you recommend as well as what type of soil. My compost is currently frozen so that is not an option. haha. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I pull out excess seedlings to thin them, but wait until the seedlings have three leaves to transplant them to roomier quarters. The first leaf withers pretty early and I snip it off. I also keep the seedlings trimmed back to 3-4 inches, which helps them grow stockier, with better light penetration. I don't want to have to pot them up but once since it's so time-consuming. I had to pot up artichoke seedlings last week, and I had already oven-processed some old potting soil to use, then dumped it in a bucket that froze hard outside. Set next to the wood stove, it took that bucket 18 hours to thaw! |
Good advice by Planatus. My question is do you really need to pot them up? Could you grow them in the soil you germinated in until they are ready to go in the ground? Thats how I do it with only some fish emulsion for extra nitrogen now and again. If you need to pot up, my simple and cheap soil recipe is sifted compost, peat moss and sand. About a 8:2:1 ratio. |

I thought you had to pot up because seed stater mix doesn't have enough nutrients. |

Sorry about the duplicate posts I'm posting from mt phone |
I don't use that stuff. I make my own because it's much more cost effective. If you need to buy soil mix, find one that's not heavy on wood debris and consider adding sifted compost. Onions like nutrient rich soil to grow strong till transplanting. If I only need to germinate and plan on potting up (tomatoes, peppers) I use less compost or used soil. I never found a need for 'soil-less mix'. I think it's unnecessary. If you did use starter mix, you will need to feed heavily or pot up. As you said, that stuff doesn't have any nutrients. As far as pot size, with good soil you can cram quite a lot of onions into a small container as you can see in my photo, 1/4" apart is fine. Next time, consider starting in good soil and avoiding a step. Don't let this (or me) discourage you, I'm sure they will do great! Here's how I grow mine: |

Wow Madroneb that is a lot of onions!! I plan to pot up in a few weeks once the seedlings have a few more leaves. I only got a 50% germination rate so I started more last night. |

Do you think If I fertilized I would not need to pot up? |
That could work if the seedlings have enough space to grow. I think about 1/4" between plants should be enough. Usually fish emulsion works wonders for me. |
I've been pricking out month-old onions this week, and some of the roots are 6 inches long (most shorter). They were already spiraling in the bottom of the seedling containers. Left any longer, they would have tied themselved in knots. |
- Posted by AiliDeSpain 5a (My Page) on Sat, Feb 16, 13 at 10:14
Planatus, were you potting up? |
I moved shallots and two varieties of onions into individual cells in a plastic thingie with 4-inch deep, 1.5 inch wide "cells" for each seedling. By the time it's time to transplant, the roots will fill the cells completely. I have another tray of 96 to do, but it's too cold to work outside right now. I change to regular organic potting soil rather than seed starting mix as I pot up the onion seedlings. The fresh medium provides ample nutrients for a couple of weeks, delaying the need to start feeding. I also use the bottoms of waxed half-gallon milk cartons, planting four onion seedlings per pot, and other random containers that I can't recycle. Onions are not picky about containers as long as they provide ample rooting space. Square milk carton bottoms are great because they don't tip over. |

It's August, things are slow, and I have a suspicion that Carl Icahn let his lawyers go on vacation and is just writing his two-sentence letters to CVR Energy himself. Bill Ackman, not so much:

I look forward to speaking further with the Board about the above.
He even cc's a lawyer.*
The saga here is long and winding; the letter actually explains it well or you could read this Reuters article but in sort-of brief:
- Pershing Square is the second-largest shareholder of GGP, with 7.7% of the company, or 10.2% on Ackman's somewhat aggressive accounting**
- The largest holder is Brookfield Asset Management, with 38.2% plus warrants for 4% more.
- Pershing and Brookfield got their shares mostly in the process of helping GGP out of bankruptcy, which it was in due to some unpleasantness over some loans, but it's doing great now thanks for asking.

Is The NRA Right? Should We Have Armed Guards In Every School?
Probably not, but they deserve a lot of credit for suggesting a plausible solution to a problem. Gun control absolutely, unconditionally will not stop another Adam Lanza. In fact, some advocates of gun control are even publicly admitting that.
That being said, the idea put forth most often on the Right since the shooting, arming teachers, isn't a very good one either. This isn't Israel, where military service is mandatory. A lot of teachers have no experience with guns, no desire to learn and in all fairness, they signed up to teach, not to be security guards. Yes, getting rid of "gun free school" zones and giving teachers incentives to carry guns isn't a bad idea, but it's not a comprehensive solution to the problem.
Putting a security guard in every school wouldn't be an ideal way to handle the problem either. It would be expensive, killers could target the security guards first or alternately, they could just move on to softer targets like day care centers or playgrounds.
This is why it's ultimately futile to try to "solve" this problem. The only real fix for it would be to put armed guards EVERYWHERE and it's just not worth it. Part of being a conservative is realizing that there isn't a handy solution to every problem that can be fixed by the government passing a new law.
This is one of those problems. That being said, kudos to the NRA for at least making a good faith effort to offer up a real world solution to a difficult issue. There's not enough of that happening in D.C.

Volumizing Mascara delivers thicker, fuller lashes, but it will take more than one coat to get there. The buildable formula goes on with minor clumping and takes a little while to set, but once it does, you can count on voluminous lashes that don't flake or smudge! This removes easily with a water-soluble cleanser.
Mally Roncal is a celebrity makeup artist who has worked on some of the most famous faces in Hollywood, not to mention numerous spreads in fashion magazines. After much success as a makeup artist, Roncal launched Mally Beauty—her namesake line of makeup and limited skin-care products—with the guiding philosophy that "the things that make us different are the qualities that make us beautiful." That's a great philosophy, but the question is: Are these quality products with a difference that will help you look and feel more beautiful?
As might be expected, Mally Roncal's celebrity cache created buzz when her line launched, and the chatter has led to a strong following on the QVC shopping channel, which is the primary home of her products. While Roncal knows how to sell a product (She is quite the cheerleader on air!) and she has worked with celebrities, that doesn't automatically mean all the Mally Beauty products are worth buying.
Although there are some well-formulated and innovative products to be found, Mally Beauty has a few misses. The majority of Mally Beauty's eye makeup and eyebrow products perform quite well, they feature a spectacular concealer with sunscreen and there are some good lip color options as well. Mally's Cancellation Conditioning Concealer and Evercolor Poreless Face Defender are top notch worthy of special mention.
On the flipside, Mally Beauty misses the mark with a few of the foundations, primers, and blushes we tried. The foundation we experimented with was especially disappointing because Mally Roncal is known for creating the illusion of perfect, dewy-looking skin, which her Ultimate Performance Professional Foundation didn't accomplish with our team.
We have to give Mally Beauty praise for including helpful application tips, demonstration videos, and full ingredient lists on the company website, and for their wonderful team who was more than helpful in sending products for The Paula's Choice Research Team to experiment with. There are some strong options to be found here, as well as others we would recommend skipping and our reviews will steer you toward what's worth your time and money.

Amazing volume & pretty good length for a volumizing mascara. 1 coat and my lashes are simply enhanced, perfect for classes/work. 2-3 coats, my lashes are wow. Buildable formula. My lashes stay soft, no breakage or odd lash loss. The perfect deep black color. I do not get any flaking. If you have watery eyes, whether from allergies or whatever, this will smudge on you after a few hours, but nothing that cannot be easily&quickly fixed with a qtip or finger. Can't say if it runs.

There aren't a whole lot of things that could bind together artists as divergent as Rihanna, Journey, Brian Wilson, Camper Van Beethoven, Primus, Ludacris, and Amy Grant.
No, it's not the weirdest Coachella lineup ever—instead, these artists (along with over a hundred more) have come together in the name of the one thing they can all agree on: They'd all like more money for their work.
Yesterday, an open letter signed by 125 musicians showed up online, asking streaming radio service Pandora why they are lobbying for a Congressional measure that would decrease the amount of royalties the company would have to pay out to artists for their songs.
"We are big fans of Pandora," the letter reads. "That's why we helped give the company a discount on rates for the past decade. Pandora is now enjoying phenomenal success as a Wall Street company. Skyrocketing growth in revenues and users. We celebrate that. At the same time, the music community is just now beginning to gain its footing in this new digital world." READ FULL STORY

Montpelier, VT, Jun 06, 2013 -- Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced today that applications are being accepted from lenders for loan guarantees to finance rural rental housing. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) remains focused on carrying out its mission, despite a time of significant budget uncertainty. Today's announcement is one part of the Department's efforts to strengthen the rural economy.
"There is nothing more important to a healthy community, a happy family, or a successful individual than a safe, decent and affordable place to live. USDA Rural Development is dedicated to providing this opportunity to as many of our citizens as possible in rural communities throughout Vermont and New Hampshire," according to David Robinson, Acting State Director USDA RD.
USDA is seeking proposals from lenders for loans under the Guaranteed Rural Rental Housing Program. The Department plans to make up to $150 million available for this program. Approved applications from prior years' notices will be the first to receive funding.
Loan guarantees are available to construct, acquire and rehabilitate affordable rural rental housing. The Agency will review responses submitted by eligible lenders, on the lender's letterhead, and signed by both the prospective borrower and lender. Although a complete application is not required in response to this notice, eligible lenders may submit a complete application concurrently with a response.
For more information, see page 30854 of the May 23, 2013 Federal Register, or visit http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2013-05-23/pdf/2013-12325.pdf. The deadline for submitting applications is December 31, 2013. Selected responses that develop into complete applications and meet all Federal eligibility requirements prior to September 30, 2013 will receive conditional commitments until all FY 2013 funds are expended. Ken Yearman is the local contact for Vermont and New Hampshire. Ken's phone number is 802-828-6067 or his email is firstname.lastname@example.com
President Obama's plan for rural America has brought about historic investment and resulted in stronger rural communities. Under the President's leadership, these investments in housing, community facilities, businesses and infrastructure have empowered rural America to continue leading the way – strengthening America's economy, small towns and rural communities. USDA's investments in rural communities support the rural way of life that stands as the backbone of our American values. President Obama and Agriculture Secretary Vilsack are committed to a smarter use of Federal resources to foster sustainable economic prosperity and ensure the government is a strong partner for businesses, entrepreneurs and working families in rural communities.
USDA, through its Rural Development mission area, has a portfolio of programs designed to improve the economic stability of rural communities, businesses, residents, farmers and ranchers and improve the quality of life in rural America.
USDA has made a concerted effort to deliver results for the American people, even as USDA implements sequestration – the across-the-board budget reductions mandated under terms of the Budget Control Act. USDA has already undertaken historic efforts since 2009 to save more than $828 million in taxpayer funds through targeted, common-sense budget reductions. These reductions have put USDA in a better position to carry out its mission, while implementing sequester budget reductions in a fair manner that causes as little disruption as possible.

Verdant Tea is a shop that I have greatly enjoyed communicating with and purchasing from – despite my qualms with ordering online. I prefer to shop local and independent, and leave online shopping out of the equation. However, Verdant's quality and commitment was enough to make me 'take the plunge' (all for the sake of good tea, of course). Shipping was free (a great bonus if you live in Canada and order from the US) and well packed – the teas were in their seperate bags, and the tea charms I ordered were in a seperate envelope within the larger (solid) box. It arrived within a few weeks (standard for regular shipping to Canada) and everything was intact and as ordered, with a bonus of two generous samples.
I happened to make my purchase during a sale and had no issues with my codes or transaction. I corresponded with David a few times over the course of my order and he was very helpful with questions, even offering to send another package out at one point (I despaired that Canada Post stole my tea – Luckily they did not!). The tea itself is a wonderful quality, and a testament to Verdant's commitment to quality and service. I am looking to make another order in the near future once I've made a bit of room in my tea cupboard – I highly recommend trying their teas!

Be careful what you write. The recurring theme of EduDemic seems to be privacy concerns at schools. Privacy issues are one of the big concerns at the University of Minnesota-Duluth, where a pair of students held an online exchange using racist language about a black woman who walked by them in a study lounge. Was the conversation private? If it's online, it's not. No matter how safe you feel having a conversation on Facebook, there is a good chance it will be seen by at least one other person at some point.
That's just what happened. The wall-to-wall conversation between two white women developed as a black woman entered the study lounge they were in. The school's paper, The Statesman, posted excerpts of the conversation, which include a racial slur and statements about feeling 'unsafe' and 'dirty' in the black student's presence.
In a speech about the incident, chancellor Kathryn A. Martin said she was "deeply saddened" for the conversation's victim, and that the school will be "more vigilant" in relation to race and diversity issues. The Duluth News Tribune has more:
Martin said the university needs to work with the Student Association to address the issue. UMD — which has 130 black students this year out of a total population of about 11,000 — hasn't been as consistent as it should be about following up on racial incidents through the years, Martin said.
Some of the school's students say the conversation blatantly violated the university's code of conduct — but others say that it was a joke taken out of context and proportion.
The conversation's perpetrators have met with campus officials and were given a transcript of the chat. They have until next week to respond, and then their punishment will be determined.

Housemarque Teases Upcoming DLC for Resogun
This gorgeous, Geometry Wars-inspired shoot 'em up is going to reel you back in for one more run.
Housemarque, a Helsink-based indie studio, has made a recent posting on its official Twitter that teases an upcoming expansion coming to its hit shooter, Resogun, in the form of downloadable content. Resogun featured eye-popping visuals and didn't hide any of its influences, but it was still an excellent twin-stick shooter and was one of the first downloadable titles offered for free on the PlayStation 4 if you had a PS Plus subscription.
Since Resogun is a spirtual successor to Housemarque's Super Stardust series (a rather excellent shooter series), we can't wait to see what else Housemarque can bring to its colorful, blaster-oriented title. Be sure to check out Dead Nation Apocalypse Edition on PlayStation 4 if you're a fan of Housemarque's style of shooters. Housemarque may not have announced any sort of launch window for this DLC, but our trigger fingers are already itching at the thought of it.
Second official teaser for the upcoming expansion. #Resogun #DLC pic.twitter.com/XpoQxnTMAL

In the company's AGM statement chief executive Ralph Findlay confirmed to shareholders that recent strong performance had ensured the possibility of future purchases.
"The business continues to make good progress, and we remain prudently financed, providing us with considerable flexibility to take advantage of opportunities as they arise," said Mr Findlay.
W&DB's trading in the fifteen weeks to January 15, 2005, were in line with expectations with like—for-like sales 3 per cent up for the managed Pathfinder Pubs and 3.4 per cent up for the tenanted Union Pub Company division.

PATNA: The JD(U) is not opening its cards about the presidential election scheduled for July next and waiting for the UPA's decision on the candidate. "This is premature topic. There is ample time to think over the issue," said chief minister Nitish Kumar when mediapersons asked for his comment after his return from Delhi.
He said that the issue would be discussed in the NDA at an appropriate time. The CM's comments came at a time when various political parties have already expressed their views on the possible candidates. Initially, the BJP leadership had expressed its reservation over the two possible names, vice-president Hamid Ansari and finance minister Pranab Mukherjee. However, it was JD(U)'s strong opposition to Sushma Swaraj's remarks on their candidature that the BJP preferred to go silent on the issue.
The CM said there has been no discussion in the party on presidential polls or any individual. "The initiative has to be taken by the ruling party and only then we will express our views," he said.
The JD(U) leadership, party sources said, is not averse to the two possible names which are being debated in political circles. The party will try for a consensus in the NDA with regard to Ansari if his name is finally put forth by the ruling alliance, sources added.

I was at an auction recently, and bid on a box of children's books. At the bottom was a ton of comic books. Some were very valuable. Unfortunately, a lot of them don't have covers, so are useless to collectors. I was trying to find a use for them. I couldn't find any ideas doing a search, so was wondering if anyone here knew of anything.
Thanks so much! HW |

Wrap gifts for your friends (esp. if the comics are of "their" vintage) I've seen them decoupaged directly on a coffee or sofa table. Next? LOL |

But while you wait for the record to drop, we've got a special treat in the form of its title track, "Hello", which you can greet by clicking play after the jump!
[wpaudio url="http://cdn.idolator.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/30/Hello.mp3" text="Karmin - Hello" dl="0"]
"Hello" was co-written by Karmin's Amy Heidemann and Nick Noonan, Claude Kelly (who co-wrote Karmin's "Brokenhearted") and Stargate's Tor Erik Hermansen and Mikkel Storleer Eriksen. Stargate, who you know from whipping up chart-topping hits like Rihanna's "What's My Name", Wiz Khalifa's "Black And Yellow" and Katy Perry's "Firework", also produced the track.
In fact, we dig that "Hello" contains similar other-worldly synths to those in "What's My Name", but also manages to maintain that distinct Karmin edge. "Racetrack, two legs / Hollywood, big break / suck it up, intake / let me tell you how it happened real quick," Amy raps on the autobiographical tune.
You can purchase Karmin's "Hello" here. Do you think the song will be a big hit for Amy and Nick? Let us know below, or by hitting us up on Facebook and Twitter!

Records not Protected by FERPA
Keep in Mind, Though a Record is not Protected by FERPA, it Does not Mean that the Record can be Freely Released
It is important to respect the privacy of students. Other laws protect employment and medical records. Medical records that are used to accommodate a disability should be kept separately from a student's "education records."
FERPA protects the privacy of all "education records" in any medium, maintained by the University. Although the law was written in 1974, its coverage is not limited to paper copies. All student education records, including records about the students contained in computer databases, are protected. This includes computerized student records in the admissions office, career center, financial aid office, the library, and numerous other offices.

Welcome to the internet, official home of the dichotomy. Twitter commentary and the gratification that comes with instantaneous analysis means the middle ground has been eradicated from our lives. We can glue the goat horns on anyone well before a game is lost. We can praise a player for a step forward well before they take their two steps back. And we love it.
What follows from this is all players are lumped into a love 'em or hate 'em category. Think of the best players in the world. You will find that 99.9999% of them fall well short of a unanimous opinion. Sidney Crosby, Alexander Ovechkin, the Sedin twins, Steven Stamkos, Claude Giroux, etc. Go down the list and it is apparent that there are plenty of human beings who are not 'avin what these guys are bringin'.
Love 'em or hate 'em? Do or do not. There is no try.
I would like to posit, however, that there is one throwback left. The one player left in this generation who we can all agree on. Who we all watch while we sit back and smirk and think "Yeah, this guy. He's awesome."
Pavel Datsyuk.
Have you ever met someone with vitriol for Pavel Datsyuk? I haven't. You get moments where you'll find an emotionally distraught individual furious that Datsyuk skated through their entire team to tie the game with a minute left and then put their goalie's jockstrap in Row Q for the shootout game winner, but the narrative never leaves the "Damn him, I want him," story arc.
Ironically enough, the Red Wings seem to breed these guys. Nick Lidstrom got nothing but admiration from fans and it appears that he won't be leaving any void beyond that of "absolutely immaculate defenceman in every way possible." Datsyuk will be there to soak up the love.
The reality of Datsyuk as an NHLer is that he is among the top 1% in talent, he is among the top 1% in decoration and he is absolutely well liked by everyone. He comes across as nothing but a top notch human being.
For those of you who would like a little insight into Datsyuk — "The Man" — The Hockey News' Rory Boylen did a great series on Datsyuk's camp in Ekaterinburg, Russia — Datsyuk's hometown — which pulled back the veil on an otherwise reticent individual.
Here's a clip from part one to give you a sense of how the man, myth, legend goes about his business:
And it was all made possible by Datsyuk. Ask anyone here about him and you'll quickly get an idea of his selfless, down-to-earth nature. He doesn't seek to be treated like an NHL superstar – on the contrary, he just wants to be one of the guys.
Which he is, making the experience not just special for the kids, but enlightening for the instructors as well.
"Just a couple months ago Pav was at a Bass Pro Shop in Detroit and he saw some kid there who looked like me," said T.J. Aubrecht, a former American high school varsity player who also played a year with the Minnesota Junior League's Hudson Crusaders.
"He asked the kid if he could take a picture with him and sent it to me with the caption 'I didn't know you were working at the Pro Bass Shop in Detroit.' That was pretty cool for me because I didn't expect him to be thinking about me throughout the year. I'll remember that for a while."
All of this underscores how spectacular Datsyuk, as a figure, is. Let's flash back to my earlier point. We currently live in an age of analysis that spontaneously anoints titles and changes opinion without hesitation.
To invoke an example from another sport, consider that baseball's Mike Trout of the Anaheim Angels was written off by several drive-by analysts as a 'bust' after a tough first week in the majors this year. As of today, he could become the third person to ever hit 30 home runs and steal 50 bases in a season. Did I mention he recently turned 21? There was definitely no hope for this guy and thanks to the prophet in my fantasy league who believed the panning and dropped him.
Online mediums that express thoughts and opinions bring about truly spectacular levels of spontaneity and vindictiveness. Sports can crank that to 11.
Yet somehow Datsyuk has found a way to emerge from all of this unscathed after vanquishing his one-time reputation as a playoff phantom. Much of his former distinction can be attributed to the stereotypical Russian xenophobic garbage many North American analysts spew. Mercifully, for those of us who know better, we have passed it with Datsyuk. We're at a point where we can just sit back, watch and smile.
How his career is ultimately seen in the context of history will need to be sorted out by time. Right now he is easily one of the most spectacular players of this generation and surely a hall of fame lock. The best part? We all agree on it. There is no caveat. Crosby is phenomenal but a crybaby. Ovechkin is dynamic but a clown. Datsyuk is Datsyuk and that's all we need to know.
There are certain players which lend themselves to anecdotes passed down from parent to child. The "Now this guy, this was a hell of a player, it's too bad you missed him," line of storytelling. I can surely speak to what it was like being reminded I never had a chance to watch a Bobby Orr or Borje Salming or Mike Bossy.
It certainly looks as though the next generation will rue the fact that they missed the chance to see Pavel Datsyuk. Luckily YouTube should still be around to document all the times he went Backhand Shelf… shorthanded no less.
In philosophy, 'the sublime' in the discussion of aesthetics generally refers to a greatness beyond the grasp of reason or calculation. Hit the replay button a few more times and you'll understand that is very much what we're dealing with here. Pavel Datsyuk carries a something with him that is beyond our reasoning or ability to work it out.
Pavel is greatness. You know it. I know it. Long live Pavel.

Vol. 1, No.2 - July, 2008
EAA AirVenture Oshkosh is nearly upon us! I invite those of you planning to attend to stop by for a visit at the Builder's Education Centre, located in the Workshops area.
- Jack Dueck, Editor
It's Monday, a Canadian Statute holiday, and the streets at 1000 hours are empty. I decide to try the airport and my Garmin takes me there OK. On the ramp, a number of people are gathered around a couple of RVs, (a 9A and a 7). Mother lode! No problem! These guys will be able to direct me to Murphy Aircraft. Read more
In keeping with our earlier theme of Canada's aviation history, we now look at the role that amateur-built aircraft have played, together with the players who brought this aircraft category to us.
In a December 1999 EAA Sport Aviation article, "Canadian Council News, 45 Years in 2000," Rem Walker - then Chair of the EAA Canadian Council - details a chronological itemized list of steps from early efforts to today's "Chapter 549 Exemption'" covering amateur-built aircraft.
"Keith Hopkinson of Goderich, Ontario, under the flight authority of Flight Permit 001, made the first flight in an aircraft constructed under Department of Transport regulations that recognized homebuilt aircraft in Canada on October 3, 1955." Read more
Is the Aircraft Eligible?
If the aircraft meets the above three conditions, you have passed the first hurdle! Read more
So what is different and "International" about this particular one? Just consider the participants in this one workshop. Read more
We often hear from Canadian members that the flight planner does not cover Canada. I talked with Charlie Becker, director of Member Programs at EAA, about this issue:
His answer: "The roadblock we have run into is NavCanada. Unlike the FAA, NavCanada charges for access to airport and mapping data. The bottom line is that NavCanada fees make it impossible to include Canadian data. We will continue to work on this but I don't have much hope at this time."
EAA is making an extra effort to build Canada functionality whenever it is even remotely possible. An example is the new Calendar of Events that includes all Canadian airports and postal codes, all entered by EAA staffers.

Margaret Ann Hubbard
Margaret Ann Hubbard was born on October 17, 1909, in Souris, North Dakota. Her father was William Warren Hubbard and her mother was Mary Ann (Teevans) Hubbard. William and Mary Ann had a farm outside of Souris, in Bottineau County, near the Canadian border. William, who was from Ohio, had been a lieutenant in the Civil War and was taken prisoner in the battle of Harper's Ferry. He spent a few days in the famous Andersonville prison. He had eight children from his first marriage, but when his first wife died he moved to North Dakota. There he met Mary Ann, who was originally from Canada, on a neighboring farm. Mary Ann was a teacher in the school in Bottineau, the county seat, and 23 years younger than William. They married and had two daughters, Helen, born August 7, 1908, and Margaret Ann.
The family moved to Duluth in 1924, residing at 918 East Fifth Street. Helen and Margaret Ann attended Central High School, both graduating in 1925, after one year, when Margaret Ann was 15 years old. Margaret Ann, often referred to with the nickname "Dolly," then attended Minnesota State Teachers College in Duluth, intending to become a teacher. When she graduated after two years, she was too young to teach, so she worked at various odd jobs. When she turned 18, she was hired to teach second grade at the Cooper School in Superior. She decided that she didn't like elementary teaching and quit after two years. William died on May 17, 1927, at the age of 80. With her sister Helen married to Earl Lambert, an employee of the DM & IR railroad, Margaret Ann decided to attend the University of Minnesota, so she and her mother moved to Minneapolis. They were living on William's Civil War veteran's pension of $25 a month, so Margaret Ann had to supplement that with a student job at the University.
Margaret Ann graduated from the University of Minnesota with a B.S. degree in English in 1932. It being the Depression, there were very few teaching jobs. She and her mother returned to Duluth where Margaret Ann worked odd jobs to make enough money to get by. One of her professors at the University had commented on her talent for writing, especially reminiscences of her childhood, and, with her mother's encouragement, she began writing. She first wrote dramatic adaptations of children's stories for the Duluth Children's Theater. Several of these plays were selected for production by theaters around the country, including the Pasadena Community Playhouse in California and the Shoreham Children's Theater in Boston. Four of her plays were published by Walter H. Baker in 1936.
About this time, Margaret Ann decided she couldn't make a living writing plays, so she went to work finding a subject suitable for a book. While digging through the stacks at the Duluth Public Library, she found some information on the history of Pembina, North Dakota, a town near the area where she grew up. She decided she needed to know more about Indians for the writing project so she spent a summer living among the Chippewa people on the Leech Lake Reservation. She followed this method of spending time on site to research many of her future novels. The experience resulted in her first novel, Little Whirlwind (1940), aimed at 10-14-year-old readers. This book was followed by fifteen other novels or fictionalized biographies for that age group, the last in 1964. Two of the novels take place in early Duluth: Captain Juniper (1947), placed in the Duluth of 1871, and Halloran's Hill (1953), a story of railroading in the Duluth and Proctor of about 1900. Margaret Ann also wrote four mysteries for adults, beginning with Murder Takes the Veil (1950), which she wrote after spending some time living in New Orleans. In 1957, she dramatized Murder Takes the Veil for the Dramatic Publishing Company, and the first public performance of the play was given by the Drama Club of Duluth's Cathedral High School.
During World War II, Margaret Ann wanted to do something toward the war effort so she enrolled in a radio communications course, passed the necessary exam, and worked as a radio operator for Northwest Airlines at the Williamson-Johnson Municipal Airport in Duluth. Her job duties included communicating with pilots, handling the mail sacks, fueling the planes, and repairing the radio equipment when necessary.
Margaret Ann received numerous awards for her writing, including membership in the Gallery of Living Catholic Authors and a $1,200 fellowship from the Bruce Publishing Co.
On July 2, 1955, Margaret Ann married Joseph C. Priley. They resided at 203 Eighth Avenue East. Joseph became a St. Louis County commissioner in 1959 and, working with Margaret Ann, was responsible for the construction of the Priley Fountain and the flower gardens in the Civic Center and for starting the annual City-Wide, City-Pride clean-up campaigns.
Margaret Ann's mother, Mary, died in Duluth on August 2, 1953. Margaret Ann's husband Joseph died on August 5, 1981. Margaret Ann eventually moved into Duluth's Benedictine Health Center and died there at the age of 83 on November 1, 1992.

Millennium Madness
Frank Black gets inside the minds of killers. In flashes of insight, he feels what they feel and sees what they see, even if they are long gone from the crime scene. And he does it about once a week—on the TV show MillenniuM.
Black, a former FBI man, has joined a team of ex-law enforcement professionals known as The Millennium Group, which is concerned about the rising bloodshed accompanying the approaching millennium. The graphic murders featured weekly on this show are extremely disturbing. What's also disturbing is that the show exploits the beliefs and fears many people have about the coming millennium. As the official MillenniuM Web page puts it: "As the millennium approaches, so will the ultimate battle between good and evil as foretold by ancient prophecies."
This is the type of millennial hype we're going to get even more of this year. A lot of people are running scared, believing the absolute worst is going to happen very soon. Just think about how much we've all been hearing about the Y2K problem—the major computer glitch that some people say will cause computers worldwide to crash on January 1, 2000, erasing bank accounts and sending everything into chaos.
And that's just the beginning. Doomsday cults are predicting that the world will end when the year 2000 arrives. Even some Christians believe the millennium will mark the beginning of the turmoil foretold in the Book of Revelation.
So is the end really near?
Who Knows?
Some Christians believe that many of the world's problems are "signs of the times" and that the end is very near. So, they say, if the end is near, the Second Coming of Christ must be right around the corner. One writer said it would happen between September 11 and 13, 1988 (wrong), and another claimed the world would end in September 1994 (wrong again). One TV preacher recently predicted that the return of Christ (preceded by World War III and Armageddon) could happen anytime between 2000 and 2010.
The people who offer these predictions argue that the Bible gives plenty of signs of the end times, citing specific passages from Ezekiel, Daniel and Revelation. But Jesus made it very clear that predictions are just a waste of time. Not only has every Second Coming prediction in history been wrong, but in Matthew 24:36, Jesus said even he didn't know the "day or the hour" it would take place! And if Jesus didn't know, then how could any of us claim to know?
OK, so we don't know exactly when the end will come. But lots of people have plenty of ideas about what will happen when it gets here.
End Times Confusion
Pointing to passages like Mark 13:3-27 and Revelation 13:16-17, some Christians conclude there will be a "tribulation" before Christ comes—a time of intense turmoil during which "the beast" (the super-enemy of Christ, also called the "Antichrist") will wage war on all things good. During this time, violence will increase and persecution of Christians will get worse. Christ will return at the end of this time of tribulation. Theologians call this the "posttribulation" view.

text: I have had my LTCF for about a year now and, even though OC is legal in my state I have never tried it. I always assumed people would freak out as soon as they saw me with a gun and I would get a lot of attention. I moved to Virginia this morning and after checking the firearm laws I decided to try walking around my apartment complex while openly carrying. What I found was that no one noticed. At this point I decided to drive around and maybe open carry in a business. Ultimately I decided to go into Dollar General to buy shampoo. There was a lot of people in the store but no one said anything or even seemed to notice. I'm glad I decided to do it.

If Penn State loses to Virginia, the Nittany Lions' season will be all but over. Not only will they have lost their first two games of the season for the first time in 10 years. They will also have lost all motivation. A loss to Virginia will mean that Penn State has truly lost its fire and forgot what it means to fight for what you believe in and what you stand for.
This is the opinion of The Bleacher Report.

Lang first on multiple fronts
When Brittany Lang won the Manulife LPGA Classic in Canada last week, it was the Texan's first LPGA victory, gave her a tremendous boost of confidence and also scored a victory for her alma mater, Duke University.
Lang, 26, voiced concern about not finishing tournaments strongly as she climbed the leaderboard during the week in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. She spent some time with caddie and brother Luke the week prior to the tournament on visualizing shots. The preparation paid off handsomely as Lang played the par-5 18th hole at Grey Silo Golf Course in 7-under par over seven trips - an eagle to complete the third round and three consecutive birdies during the sudden-death playoff.
"I hadn't been that good under pressure and I'm getting better, and I'm so thankful that it happened this week and I'll only get stronger from here," Lang said.
Even though Duke, located in Durham, N.C., has captured five NCAA titles and 16 ACC championships, no former Blue Devils had won on the LPGA (including 14 players) until Lang won the Canadian tournament last weekend. That group includes 2002 LPGA Rookie of the Year Beth Bauer and 1998 U.S. Women's Open runner-up Jenny Chuasiriporn. Golf Channel broadcasters Kelly Tilghman and Stephanie Sparks are also former Duke golfers.
"I still can't believe that I'm the first Dukie to ever win an LPGA tournament," Lang said. "That blows my mind with all the talent that comes out of there, but I'm very thankful and very honored."
Shin out with wrist injury
Jiyai Shin underwent left wrist surgery in early June and is out for a while. The 24-year-old South Korean won multiple tournaments from 2008 to 2010 on the LPGA, but failed to win in 2011 and thus far this season. In 2011, she changed her training regimen, coach and caddie at the beginning of the season. At midseason, she suffered a lower back injury that caused her to miss September's tournaments. Shin's 2011 season ended early when she returned home to South Korea for her late mother's memorial service and to rehabilitate her back for the 2012 season. She has recorded two third-place finishes this season.
Lewis expands lead; Ryu Rookie leader
With her tie for fifth finish at last week's Manulife LPGA Classic, Stacy Lewis expanded her lead in the Rolex Player of the Year race. Lewis has 129 points to lead second-place Yani Tseng (120 points) after overtaking Tseng three weeks ago at the Wegmans LPGA Championship. Points are awarded based on top-10 finishes (30 for first, 12 for second down to one point for 10th) and doubled in the LPGA majors. The last American to win the Rolex Player of the Year honor was Beth Daniel in 1994.
In the Louise Suggs Rolex Rookie of the Year standings, So Yeon Ryu of South Korea holds a 558-369 advantage over Lexi Thompson of the United States. Points are awarded to every rookie who makes the cut, with 150 points for first, 80 for second and on down in five-, three-, two- and one-point increments at various stages and double the award at LPGA majors. Only two Americans - Beth Bauer in 2002 and Paula Creamer in 2005 - have won the award in the last 10 years.
Tseng going for three
Yani Tseng will be going for a third consecutive Walmart NW Arkansas Championship title this week in Rogers, Ark. She has never won the same tournament three consecutive years in her five-year LPGA career. Later this summer, Tseng will be going for a third consecutive victory in the RICOH Women's British Open.
Tseng has recorded eight of nine rounds in the 60s during her visits to Arkansas. The only over-par round was a final-round 74 in 2009 when she finished T14.
Tseng's 12 career victories include:
2008 | McDonald's LPGA Championship Presented by Coca-Cola |
2009 | LPGA Corning Classic |
2010 | Kraft Nabisco Championship, RICOH Women's British Open, P&G NW Arkansas Championship Presented by Walmart |
2011 | Honda LPGA Thailand LPGA State Farm Classic Wegmans LPGA Championship RICOH Women's British Open, Walmart NW Arkansas Championship Presented by P&G LPGA HanaBank Championship, Sunrise LPGA Taiwan Championship |
2012 | Honda LPGA Thailand, RR Donnelley LPGA Founders Cup, Kia Classic |
This week's tournament site
This week's tournament site, Pinnacle Country Club, offers a back nine with great variety as the tournament concludes. There are three par 3s on the back nine, including the signature 15th where the tee shot is elevated and shoots down to an island green. The finishing hole is a long, dogleg-left par 5 with water in play on the second shot. Pinnacle will play to par 71 and at 6,372 yards.
Pinnacle was designed in 1989 by Don Sechrest and renovated in 2009 by Randy Heckenkemper.
Canada's Maude-Aimee Leblanc has taken over first place in the Driving Distance category. Leblanc averages 282 yards compared to second-place Brittany Lincicome (279 average)…Yani Tseng leads the Rolex Women's World Rankings for the 72nd consecutive week. The only change in the top 10 occurred with China's Shanshan Feng moved ahead of South Korea's Na Yeon Choi at Nos. 3 and 4…Since her victory in the Wegmans LPGA Championship three weeks ago, China's Shanshan Feng has been asked often about how her home country has celebrated. She has stayed in the United States since the win, is playing this week and next week at the U.S. Women's Open before returning home to China.

520 bridge project: Funding gap shrinks but new problem emerges
Total costs for the $4.65 billion 520 floating-bridge project have been revised downward, but a new problem has arisen: cracks in a couple of the new pontoons.
Seattle Times transportation reporter
Good construction progress and a pending federal loan of $300 million have reduced the funding shortage on the Highway 520 floating bridge to $1.4 billion, state Transportation Secretary Paula Hammond announced.
An agreement for the federal loan was signed Thursday, she said.
At the same time, though, there are new problems to contend with — cracks appeared in two pontoons that arrived in Lake Washington this summer from Grays Harbor, where they were built. One of them is still leaky after the first attempt at sealing failed, Hammond said, so experts are looking at other methods.
"It's apparently not holding up in the repairs that have been done to date," she said. "I personally think it's doable." Hammond said the state won't accept the pontoons from the contractor, Kiewit-General-Manson, until they are watertight.
In particular, DOT is concerned about "Pontoon W," the big endpiece that goes on the east side of the floating bridge, where it will be exposed on three sides to weather and lake water.
Some of the cracks are superficial and some are structural, said Mike Cotten, a design-build manager for the state Department of Transportation. Water hasn't been streaming in, but some of the cracks have allowed absorption and condensation so water appears inside the pontoon, Cotten said.
Still, the larger financial picture has improved, Hammond said.
The project was estimated to cost $4.65 billion, but lower than expected bids and ongoing construction progress for the bridge's east approach and floating sections have resulted in experts at DOT revising the overall costs downward, to $4.13 billion.
Taking those savings, other adjustments and the federal loan into account, the DOT says its former $2.1 billion funding gap for the project is now roughly $1.4 billion.
This improves the odds that if lawmakers put a toll on Interstate 90, it would raise enough money to complete the largely unfunded Seattle section of the project.
The Seattle section remains controversial, and some neighborhood advocates want only a four-lane crossing — not the wider six-lane version that DOT has planned.
The federal loan is meant for a so-called "Lake to Land" segment, in which Hammond proposes to build the westbound lanes from the bridge's west high rise to the Montlake interchange.
"With this funding, we will continue to make progress on replacing the most vulnerable structures in this SR 520 corridor," she said.
The Coalition for a Sustainable 520, a collection of neighborhood advocacy groups, objects that traffic would be deposited at Montlake before DOT can fund long-promised parklike lids.
Another unsolved problem is what type of fixed bridge to build over Portage Bay near Interstate 5, and whether the bulk of that structure would overwhelm its surroundings.

Sister Hilda is one the Catholic nuns managing the retreat house of their order in Tamontaka. As I and colleagues from PhilRights have used their facilities for training of teachers a few times already, we somehow became so relaxed around her. She's a very sweet person who always exhibit a happy exterior which I believe springs genuinely from inside. She is into healing practices and sells special healing oils my favorite of which is that with aroma of mandarin. Here she lovingly cuddles her hairy dog.

Black Beauty(1877)Black Beauty is a tender tale filled with life lessons and brimming with warm memories and experiences from a horses' point of view. It will touch your heart with its many fine moments as well as suspenseful situations. A fine tale that shows the cruelty some humans can inflict on animals, as well as the kindness and generosity we would all strive to achieve. An enduring classic loved by anyone who loves animals.--Submitted by Virginia G. Wimmer. Fan of this book? Help us introduce it to others by writing a better introduction for it. It's quick and easy, click here. Recent Forum Posts on Black BeautyBlack BeautyBlack Beauty was the first book that I actually read, before that it was comics and such or what was given by my school. I was 10 at the time and bought the book second hand out of a whim. But once I started reading I was totally enthralled. I was amazed at how you were looking at the world through the eyes of a horse. I think it was here that I started to enjoy reading. Some books I read over and over again but for whatever reason I've never read it since and that was over forty years ago, perhaps it's time to get a copy and relive a little of my childhood!

News and Announcements
- Please see our current group offerings for the Spring semester!
- Come join Students for Samaritans on January 26th 7pm in Petteruti Lounge for a film screening of A Beautiful Mind which tells the story of John Nash, a Nobel Laureate in Economics who struggles with paranoid schizophrenia. There will be a Q&A discussion after the film with Dr. Brandon Guadiano, a Clinical Psychologist and assistant professor. There will also be free pizza, popcorn and drinks! This event is co-sponsored by Students for Samaritans, CAPS and the Psychology DUG.
We want to acknowledge the personal and community impact of recent national and campus events. As a reminder, we are available to provide individual and small group support for all students who need it. Also, here are some self-help links from our online self-help library that may be useful.
We consider it to be a sign of strength when a student decides to seek help. We know that when Brown students are psychologically healthy, they perform better academically, form and sustain more meaningful relationships, and are able to make the most out of their time at Brown and beyond.
Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) provides crisis intervention, short-term individual therapy, group therapy, community outreach, and referral services. Our staff has many years of experience in dealing with a broad range of emotional, social, identity, and adjustment-related issues. We offer consultation to students, faculty and staff who are concerned about the well-being of students. Our appointments are free of charge, our contacts with students are confidential, and we are available when classes are in session.
Many students from all of the diverse backgrounds represented in the Brown community make use of our services. They come to us during times of crisis and high stress, when their usual coping mechanisms are not working well, or when they are faced with making difficult decisions. They may be having problems relating to friends, partners, roommates or family; struggling academically; questioning aspects of their identities; having difficulty declaring a concentration; or feeling anxious or depressed.
When a student calls for an appointment, an intake is scheduled with one of the therapists on staff. At the end of this initial visit, the student and the clinician decide whether to schedule further appointments. If the clinician and student decide that ongoing therapy is indicated, referrals are provided for nearby community psychotherapists. The maximum number of sessions with a clinician at CAPS is seven per academic year. If appropriate, a medication consultation may be scheduled with one of our staff psychiatrists.
Please contact our office by phone or come in person to CAPS. We do not make appointments via email for confidentiality reasons.

With Martin Brodeur expected to get the start in Canada's most meaningful game to date – Sunday against the United States – it appears that head coach Mike Babcock has made his goaltending decision.
It's certainly the expected choice, and the choice that the majority of people will support. Brodeur has rewritten the NHL record book, and given the number of championships he's been involved in – three with the New Jersey Devils, and two previously with Team Canada (2002 Olympics, 2004 World Cup), it's difficult to present an argument that this was the wrong decision.
Kostya Kennedy of Sports Illustrated believes that Brodeur's playoff record makes this a non-argument:
Here's something for you: Just in case you're tempted to let Luongo's sweet save percentages (a neat .920 in 2008-09, for one thing) get to you. Here is Luongo's career playoff record after nine NHL seasons: 11 wins and 11 losses. Brodeur's won about nine times that many postseason games. He's won 15 in Stanley Cup finals alone. Marc-Andre Fleury, Canada's third goalie, has 31 playoff wins. Luongo hasn't had anything like the caliber of teams in front of him that Brodeur and Fleury have had, but still: 11 and 11.
I can't believe we're even talking about this. These are Martin Brodeur's Games. Today. On Sunday. All next week and right through the medal round. That's it.
It's a perspective many will undoubtedly agree with. I don't think wins is a relevant statistic for goaltenders, each of whom is one player on a 23-man roster, and I've said so many times. However, let's assume I take Kennedy's perspective: that wins matter, but team strength is obviously a factor. If I took that point of view, I'd say the fair comparison would be Luongo's time in Vancouver vs. Brodeur over the same period in New Jersey. After all, the Florida Panthers' inability to make the playoffs wasn't Luongo's fault, and since 2006-07 when he joined the Canucks his team and New Jersey have been pretty comparable: two division titles each and two 100-point seasons each. With those somewhat comparable teams in front of them, how have Luongo and Brodeur fared in the playoffs?
Player | Brodeur | Luongo |
Win % | .391 | .500 |
Brodeur's low winning percentage here is as good a demonstration of why winning percentage is an idiotic statistic when it comes to showing goaltender worth; despite strong play on his part (as evidenced by his .922 save percentage) Brodeur has won less than 40% of his games since 2006-07. In fact, since his last cup win Brodeur has won just 15 of 37 contests – and 37 contests is more playoff games than many an NHL goalie will play in his career.
Despite what it may sound like, this isn't an argument that Luongo should start because Brodeur has lost his ability to win when the games really matter. It's an argument that when comparing goalies, quoting wins is just about the least relevant thing a person can do, because so many other factors go into a win that are completely unconnected to goaltender ability.

The oak floors I need advice about are in my deceased parents' 1950s, split-level house. I don't know how they were originally finished (maybe shellac?), but I think my mother used to have them waxed. The flooring in the closets looks beautiful. Everywhere else, the wood feels smooth, but there are variations in color (especially between areas where furniture was and wasn't), maybe some water marks, and some black spots (they kind of look like burn marks, but I doubt that's what they are). I really like the look of the flooring in the closets and I'm pretty sure polyurethane was never used. I've been experimenting here and there with Wood Preen and with fine steel wool. The Wood Preen didn't seem to improve the appearance, though it did take up dirt -- but maybe I used it too sparingly. The steel wool improved the look. Advice welcome. Thx. |

I doubt you can touch up the floor to your satisfaction. Usually a floor of that age will need to be resanded and finished for the best results. Heavy walk areas are often worn though, looking gray from absorbed moisture. Other areas are sun bleached etc. Most black spots are urine burns, some sand out others (the majority) do not. The worst of the lot can be patched out to return the floor to its original glory. |
- Posted by lazygardens (My Page) on Tue, Apr 19, 11 at 14:35
Start with mild soap and water on a damp cloth to get up the water-soluble stuff. Then do the same with mineral spirits and 0000 steel wool in any stuck spots to get the rest of the crud. Then use the Wood Preen as a finishing wax unless you are seeing bare wood. The dark and light spots are normal, and a waxing and buffing might be enough to get the floors into "cared for by a great housekeeper for half a century" look. The black spots might be ink spots. I could tell where the first owner of one house had his drafting table set up from the way the ink spots landed. |
- Posted by hgtvdream.com (My Page) on Wed, Apr 20, 11 at 11:02
If there are areas of bare wood, what should be done? If I get the floors sanded, how should I get them finished so that they would look like the flooring in the closets? After sanding, can they just be waxed? |
A professional ought to be able to give you almost any look you want. There are many ways to finish wood and polyurethane is just one of those. If you finish with a film-forming product, such as polyurethane, then there is no need to add wax to the finishing film. |

Nicki Minaj at Wells Fargo Theatre, 8/2/12

- Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday is a Minaj-à-trois of pop, dance and hip-hop
A Nicki Minaj worldwide tour must be hard to plan for. Every new audience, every new visual, every different genre of song -- no formula to follow. Like her albums, especially Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, the tracklist of which is so divided it hurts to listen to the full thing, Minaj's showing at last night's show at the Wells Fargo Theatre was, in a word, eccentric. In a few other words: All over the place.
It was hard not to be entertained by Minaj during her show last night. But who exactly was entertained is the real question. Was her audience composed of teenage girls, as you'd think? Parents? Twenty-somethings who enjoy Minaj's Frankenstein-esque singles, which play as if they'd been stitched together by a doctor? It wasn't clear, and at one point early on, Minaj didn't quite know either.
Eric Gruneisen Nick Minaj at Wells Fargo Theatre last night. Slide show: Nicki Minaj in Denver
For digestibility's sake, Minaj carefully constructed a setlist according to genre. Hip-hop goes here, pop goes there, and throw the man-hating slow jam and the independent woman's fierce cry for help ("Fire Burns" and "Save Me," respectively) immediately before the blast of songs only diehard fans would know, and there you have it. In between, the house DJ spins tracks that didn't make the setlist -- including "Check It Out," which deserved oh so badly to be choreographed -- and poorly (no, terribly) sings along to them. Et voilà. You have a show that was as unpolished as her back catalogue.
After a barrage of her RedOne-produced singles, "Starships" and "Pound The Alarm" -- the best examples of hip-hop-meets-pop-turned-dance in the singer's catalogue -- Minaj finished her one-two punch with a right hook that didn't quite hit. Even on her second album, "Whip It" follows these tracks in order (it's even produced by the same guy!). But live? No one really caught on. So Minaj had to stop "Whip It" after the first chorus and ask Denver to prove they knew it. A few lines in from the first verse, and "Whip It" quickly segued into "Turn Me On."

Despite these shortcomings, Minaj brought her fans along for a ride that proved as thrilling as it was bumpy, unpredictable as it was carefully constructed. Her flows were so tight when she really got going that Minaj made her opener, 2 Chainz, and his acid tongue look lazy. Her vocals on tracks like "Right By My Side" were smooth, pitch-perfect, beautiful even. And when Minaj wasn't required to pull double duty as a singer and rapper in the same song, her voice really soared.
If only Minaj performed her better songs in their entirety, instead of switching songs after the first or second verse and the chorus -- like most hip-hop artists, including 2 Chainz last night, tend to favor during live shows. Her opener, "Roman's Revenge," which borrowed Catholic imagery similar to her performance of "Roman's Holiday" at the Grammys this year, was three minutes too short.

OK… let's think about this one out loud. A giant yellow box with a bright red button. Don't panic? For the right guy, this might work as some sort of ice breaker.
For the other 99% of the male population, expect something like this, "What's that by your bed? Oh. A condom dispenser… Not just a condom or even two but, a whole dispenser… You know, I totally forgot about meeting my girlfriend tonight…"
Girl exits.
Stick to the discreet, store-it-in-the-drawer approach.
