"Haven't tried this yet but believe it may be the Chipotle Carnitas recipe which is to die for. Will be trying soon. Braised Pork Shoulder with Tomatoes, Cumin, Cloves and Chipotle Peppers Adapted from the Niman Ranch Cookbook"
Serving Size: 1 (195 g)
Servings Per Recipe: 10
"I tried this recently and it turned out very well, but the road to the end was rocky. The suggestion to put boiling hot broth, tomatoes, etc. into a blender and turn it on was a terrible one. I succeeded in splattering the burning hot liquid all over myself and my kitchen, resulting in some minor burns and a huge mess to clean up. I finally just skipped the pureeing step and used the broth as it was. Upon researching what I did wrong, I have learned that when you blend hot liquids in a regular blender, you need to remove the cap over the little hole in the lid and place a folded towel over the hole. Then hold that on as you blend. This allows the steam to escape and prevent the explosion that I had. I haven't put this to the test, but found the suggestion when I did an Internet search. So be careful!"
"Chipotle gets my money like a dope man! 3 times a week adds up so finding a SERIOUS replacement was crucial. I'm a barbacoa girl, the carnitas was for my sweetie. I had to tweek this a little because he doesn't like spicy food. I had no experience with chipotle peppers but a drop of the sauce set my mouth on fire! I rinsed them off and only put in 1 1/2. In the preparation instructions it didn't specifically mention the adobo sauce so I didn't put it in and I'm glad I didn't. He said it had a little bit of a kick and that would've been too much. He loved it, kept talking about it, said it was more than an adequate substitute. Instead of cumin seeds I used 1/2 tsp ground cumin. Instead of 2 whole cloves I used about 2 shakes of ground, cloves are potent and instead of whole garlic cloves I used 1 tsp. minced. Everything else was to the letter and it was great. For anyone who has doubts just try it. If you spend money at Chipotles every month like you do on your cable bill this will be a real welcome."
"I made this a little while ago and am about to make it again. I used canned chipotle pepers in adobo sauce. The can comes with about 6 peppers. I used 3-4 and it added a little kick. Cooked in the slow cooker on LOW for 8-9 hours. Was absolutely delicious. Of course it's not just like Chipotle but when added with cilantro lime rice, white cheddar, pico de gallo, and sour cream, this was BETTER than any Chipotle I've eaten and it felt even better to eat because I made it myself. I removed a lot of fat from the roast before I made it and I regret doing that. I think this time I'll leave all the fat and try to remove it after cooking.

Overall, I love this recipe and will make it often. Something easy that you can prepair in about 15 min and let it sit while you are at work. Come home for dinner, rip it apart and finish up. I made about 8 large burritos with this recipe (ate 6 myself over a few days)."
"Fantastic!! Very flavorful and tender. Rave reviews!!! Set oven to 325. Baked in Dutch oven for 2 1/2 hrs. perfection!!!!"
"Not impressed. I followed the recipe, and it does not taste like Chipotle. The flavor is only so-so, but I have to agree that the pork was super tender. I cooked it over night at 225 so that it would be ready for a lunch time party. I will try other recipes for carnitas in the future."
"I cooked this today. It was great! I did the early steps in a wok-style skillet, then did the time consuming part in a crock pot. I was out of bay leaves, but the recipe tasted great anyway. My 9 year old child loved it too. It's a keeper."
"Definitely had my kitchen smelling yummy. I did not put the diced tomatoes in which I think might have been a mistake. Instead I put a mexican tomato base in that I found at Walmart. Also used a small can of the chipotles in adobo sauce which I cut up finely. I put mine in the oven. Overall, I think it turned out well. To really make it taste like chipotle's, make and add the mild salsa to it and crisp chopped lettuce. The cheese they use is a white cheddar. Next time, I would cut back on the spicy part of this."
"It's funny how ALL the recipes on the web for Chipotle's Carnitas only use 1 ingredient that's listed as the ingredients on Chipotles web site. Bay leaves are usually in there, but Juniper Berries and Thyme are never listed. I found a recipe years ago Ive been using and it is identical to the Chipotle taste. Just 5 ingredients total."
"I'll be trying this recipe this weekend, but in the meanwhile I wanted to point out that this recipe calls for braising, which is defined as a slow cooking process, primarily in fat, in a CLOSED pot or Dutch oven. (The recipe doesn't specifically state that a lid is required - although I figgered it out since it's also a slow-cooker recipe. I'm smrt like that.)"
"Great recipe! This was our first time trying to make a carnitas recipe and everything went smoothly. The kitchen smelled delicious all day, we made amazing copycat Chipotle burritos, and now we have plenty of leftovers to do it again!"
"I made tried this recipe this weekend and it was fantastic! Even my usually stoic husband and my picky daughter were raving about this meat. We used it to make burritos! Thanks for the great recipe!"

Hi there,
I wonder if I may be so bold as to recommend for your review the new Austen-inspired book, Follies Past: a Prequel to Pride and Prejudice by Melanie Kerr. It has been getting exceptional reviews on Amazon (amazon.com/dp/B00GD76KJY) and you can read
the first chapter, the blurb and a bit about the author on the website: FolliesPast.com. There are also three enticing, film-style trailers that can be seen at that same website or on Youtube.
Essentially, the book is based on the story of Darcy, Wickham and Georgiana, as described in Darcy's letter to Elizabeth in Pride and Prejudice. It is intertwined with an original and sweet love story of the author's own invention and is written in the style and the language of Jane Austen's own works.
Reading it really feels like discovering a long-lost Austen manuscript.
Please feel free to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com if you would like any more information, or to let me know if you decide you might like to review it so that I can send you a copy, in your choice of eBook or paperback or both.

WE SETTLE IN AS THE LIGHT FADES. Each shelter sleeps two and is built of aluminum ribs covered in tan heavy-duty synthetic canvas, with clear plastic flaps for doors and windows. Furnishings are spare: camp cots and sleeping bags for beds, a plastic bedside table, a plastic box to stow gear. On one side of the kitchen is a mudroom where a second woodstove dries out boots and sodden clothes. On the other side stands a wash area with a sink and a shower heated by propane. Several dozen yards away is an old-fashioned outhouse. Simple as they might seem, these arrangements rate as fantastically lavish when you consider that, under park rules, every bolt and scrap has to be packed away at the end of each season.
In the morning the weather is much improved. There is still no sunshine, but the rain has stopped, the fog has melted away, and the clouds have risen to 1,000 feet. The landscape reveals itself teasingly, bit by bit. Now we can see the top of the far ridgeline, a shark-tooth precipice of wind-scoured rock daubed with remnants of last year's snowfall. To the north, the base of the Chiginagak volcano appears, the vibrant blue of the glacier standing out against the thick white snow that blankets the active caldera.
At breakfast—flapjacks, scrambled eggs, bacon—I share a table with Kristin, Courtenay, and Brinton. The cousins banter cheerfully, loudly, unabashedly. The volume subsides only when they're dishing about another guest. The elder George, it seems, was grumbling yesterday in King Salmon about the delays in Sam's flying schedule.
"I don't like complainers," Courtenay hisses.
After the meal, J.W. announces that conditions are perfect for fishing. A school of 50,000 chum and pink salmon is hanging just offshore, waiting for the moment to start upstream. It's still too early for the salmon to run, but a few impatient ones—a thousand or so—have pushed forward into a holding pool below the camp and are so irritable they lunge at anything that comes near. The chums in particular are gorgeous, up to a yard long, vibrant with color and a scrawl of dark markings like graffiti on the side of a subway train. And they fight with all the crazed obsessiveness of beasts ready to climb up waterfalls.
"For the number of fish, and the volume and clarity of the water, I would have to say that this is the best salmon fishing on earth," J.W. proclaims.
I've been fishing before with outdoorsmen of the new school—the kind dressed head-to-toe in brand-new Orvis—who compulsively measure and weigh each catch. The old school will have none of this; they quietly reel in their fish, beam as they murmur words of appreciation to the flopping trophy, then silently let it go. When it comes to fishing, style is everything, and theirs is clear: It isn't right to brag, any more than it is to complain.
I, for one, can't help going gaga over landing a 33-inch chum salmon. As it heaves about on the sand, I reach down under its head to heft its weight, too excited to notice the wicked canines arcing out from under its lips. With a thrash of its head it slices my fingertip deeply. Bright red seeps out as I hurry up the beach, muttering expletives. A guide pastes me back together with three bandages.
Once my throbbing digit is safely swaddled, I look around guiltily, wondering if anyone has heard my unmanly mewling.
THE NEXT DAY, THE DIE-HARD FISHERMEN stay by the river, while the cousins and I hike over a ridge to the north, drop into an adjoining valley, and trek along a gravel riverbed to a 40-foot waterfall.
We hike in single file. Our guide, Nathan, leads carrying a pistol-grip shotgun. Brown bears are plentiful, and no one has any illusions about how suddenly they can attack. Or how large they can be: as we trudge across the tidal flats to the ridge, we pass tracks so big, you can fit a whole boot inside.
As we wander, so does the conversation. I learn that the cousins' family has long been involved in the leadership of Outward Bound, and each of them has had extensive experience living in the wild. As we force a way through a swampy patch of brush, Brinton tells us about a survival camp he attended over one high school vacation.
"It was set up by these two eccentric brothers who'd been survival experts in the military," Brinton says. "For the last week of camp, they sent us out into the wild without any food, just a pistol with no sight. We were supposed to hunt for our meals, but all we managed to kill was a squirrel. We ate that, but split six ways it didn't go too far. Finally, by the fourth day, we said, 'What the hell, we've only got three more days before we eat—why worry about it?' "
I ask him if he was angry he'd been sent to the camp.
"No," he says. "I volunteered."
We walk along a riverbank that dead-ends at the face of a cliff. To continue toward the coast we have to ford a stream, which looks deep and is certainly fast-moving. Nathan suggests that we link arms and slowly work our way across. Courtenay snorts at this sissified notion and splashes into the stream. I follow. Soon the water is thigh-deep, the swift current tugging at our feet. I wobble with each step, trying to find a footing on the slippery gravel.
Eight feet shy of the far bank, Courtenay goes down; in an instant she's being pulled backward by the current. I grab her waistband and hoist her to her feet. She flounders to shore, drenched in near-freezing water.
Two hours later we're safe and dry, back in camp, regaling the others with our adventure. One of the guides ducks his head into the tent to call us all outside. Down below, on the sand flats we'd just walked across, a hungry-looking juvenile bear saunters around, searching for something to eat.

Account Switch Fraud Schemes
In the experience of most lawyers who practice in the area of securities fraud and stockbroker fraud it is a rare exception that creates a problem the overwhelming majority, in our experience over 99% of the financial advisors and investment counselors in this country observe and conform to the highest standards of ethical conduct.
It was Winston Churchill who said it takes all kinds to make the world and that is the problem. Here's where the problem comes in: a small number of stockbrokers will commit this most offensive of frauds; the account switch fraud. When you create an account with an investment advisor, stockbroker, wire house, brokerage firm whether it be a boutique or a major Wall Street firm you expect for there to be one account in which all of the trades are recorded. All the rules governing financial transactions require you, the investor to know all of and have control of your assets. That is what an account is for. But the account switch fraud scheme works to defeat your expectations and is a most serious offense. The fraudulent stockbroker now has more than one account for you, and he moves your transactions around. Your losing trades are buried in the loss account, your winning trades are kept in your known account, and your transactions are unknown. Uncovering this account switch scam comes from years of seeing it and recognizing it in the transaction reports generated by subpoena at the beginning of the arbitration process. Being colorblind is the inability to see what others see, and only an experienced brokerage manager has seen this scam.
That is why my law office has among its core team member's former and experienced stockbroker managers: the men and women who run the offices with 50 or 100 individual stockbrokers. They have seen this scam and how it works under the radar. An account switch fraud scheme creates multiple trading accounts in which your transactions are moved about and by this method fees can be generated and losses hidden from investors. Fortunately this type of fraud is a rarity but if you are a victim of an account switch you probably won't know what until your lawyer tries and information with a subpoena from the clutching hands of a malfeasant financial professional.
If this can be established, this type of mismanagement of the account, the financial loss caused by the advisors improper acts and negligence constitutes a breach of the fiduciary duty owed. And the wire house or brokerage house that sheltered this type of fraudulent activity will be very much liable for this type of fraud. The problem is always finding and proving and that's what an experienced and persistent securities lawyer can do for you. These matters are always uncovered in the arbitration process and usually at the very end.
There is a lot of resistance to revealing the existence of multiple accounts and that often quite strategically buried in the computer systems of the brokerage house. Only an experienced broker manager with years in the industry can find and bring out the types of frauds. Scary thing is that you won't know about it until the very last moment when it will be revealed abracadabra when the subpoena is enforced. Here's where relying on effective litigator will prove the adage that a battle scarred trial lawyer can beat the pants, or skirts off of an office practice. It's in the street in the world of hard knocks that the experience needed to win in these types of combat situations and the niceties of arbitration come together. It shouldn't surprise you that most of the brokerage houses are anxious to uncover these types of frauds because of the almost unlimited liability they present.
You also find that only the more experienced stockbrokers can effectively create and run a hidden or switched account scam. It does however require the assistance and cooperation of the branch manager operations chief who is very often the first person you need to uncover to bring it out. Once the operations manager knows that you're aware of the multiple accounts and he or she becomes your strongest witness an ally in the arbitration process. These cases more often than not resolve with significant financial rewards as the stock brokerage house will see the problem and deal with you and honest and forthright manner. There is nothing other than the rights of the victim to be protected here and if you've been victimized by a financial professional who has committed the crimes of fraud in structuring a hidden account scam you will find your best ally is in an experienced and relentless approach towards winning back your financial losses.

When Amy Hargroves made the rounds in Congress last fall to lobby for an extension of the wind production tax credit, she was often greeted with confusion: Why was she here talking about wind power?
That's because Hargroves wasn't fighting for the credit as a representative of a turbine manufacturer like Vestas or an interest group like the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA). Instead, she was representing Sprint Nextel, a telecommunications giant with no direct ties to the wind game.
Sprint is among dozens of seemingly unrelated corporations, including Starbucks, Levi Strauss and New Belgium Brewing, who lobbied to save the wind tax credit. It's hard to gauge how much effect they had on lawmakers' last-minute decision to give the tax credit a one-year reprieve by putting it in the fiscal cliff tax package. But their involvement shows that the business community has identified a need for renewables and could become an important lobbying force in promoting clean energy.
"This signals a change in the coalition structure," said Clyde Wilcox, a professor in the government department at Georgetown University. "In the past, it would be green energy companies or environmental groups that have either a business interest or a public interest in these issues. But people look up when a new series of players lines up."
A committee that advises the federal government on how to make offshore oil drilling safer could be disbanded next month, even as the recent grounding of a Shell rig in Alaska is drawing new attention to the dangers of deepwater drilling.
The Ocean Energy Safety Advisory Committee (OESC), an advisory panel to the Department of Interior, was created after the 2010 Deepwater Horizon spill to gather input from a variety of stakeholders about the government's drilling policies. The 15-member panel—composed of government officials, academics, industry representatives and environmentalists—will meet today and Thursday for what could be its last meeting.
The committee is expected to vote on recommendations that its six subcommittees have been working on for almost two years, including a subcommittee focused on Arctic drilling. The recommendations will then be sent to Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and to Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement director James Watson.
The committee will also discuss whether to ask to keep the panel alive after its two-year charter expires in February, said chairman Tom Hunter, a former president of Sandia National Laboratories. Salazar will make the final decision.
Recognizing the impact of global warming—or perhaps just looking for a little positive press—large corporations are adopting internal greenhouse gas reduction and renewable energy goals.
Noticeably underrepresented? Oil and gas companies.
A report released last month by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) showed that 58 of the country's Fortune 100 companies set goals in 2012 to either use more renewable energy for their operations or reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. Globally, the number of participating companies was even higher—68 of the world's 100 largest companies have set some sort of greenhouse or renewable energy goal.
But energy companies lagged behind on both lists. Eight of the 11 domestic energy companies on the Fortune 100 haven't set internal energy goals. The exceptions are Hess and Chevron, which both set renewable energy and greenhouse gas targets, and ExxonMobil, which set a greenhouse gas target. (Hess was accidentally omitted from the report, according to a WWF spokesman.)
Eleven of the 20 energy companies on the global list hadn't set targets, the lowest participation rate of any industry.
As a stalemated Congress shies away from taking serious action on climate change, environmentalists are focusing on potential cabinet openings at the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy that could further their efforts.
If the top jobs at the agencies open up as expected at the beginning of Obama's second term, the new leaders would step into the spotlight at a critical time. Recent scientific reports warn that polar ice sheets are melting at a rate three times faster than in the 1990s and methane emissions from melting permafrost could dramatically accelerate global warming. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's next report, due in 2013, will likely add to evidence that carbon emissions are causing Earth's climate to warm.
The EPA docket is already crowded with key environmental issues. The agency is expected to consider new regulations for coal-fired plants, smog and the controversial drilling process known as hydraulic fracturing. It also could weigh in on the Keystone XL pipeline.
The Energy Department, meanwhile, is trying to decide how to foster the nascent clean energy industry amid the political minefield left by the scandal over Solyndra, a failed solar company that received federal funding. A new energy secretary would have to be adept at fielding political questions and making the most of a much smaller pool of loans for renewable energy.
Statistically, the November elections seemed a win for the status quo in Washington—neither chamber of Congress nor the White House switched parties, and the gridlock that has plagued the 112th Congress seems destined to continue through the 113th.
But some of the nation's leading environmental groups say a closer examination of the winners and losers shows the situation isn't as static as it seems, at least when it comes to climate and energy issues. More than a third of the 95 newcomers to the House and Senate are Democrats who are expected to support environmental issues. And a campaign to defeat candidates who oppose clean energy and conservation legislation ousted some longtime opponents.
"We're incredibly enthused about the results," said Tiernan Sittenfeld, senior vice president of the League of Conservation Voters. "The candidates who stood by clean energy were overwhelmingly elected or re-elected. ... A lot of the worst of the worst, the people who said the most egregious things and were the biggest allies of oil, lost.
"These elections showed that being a climate change denier isn't just bad policy, but now it's bad politics."
The so-called status quo is now "in numbers only," said Nathan Hultman, a Brookings Institution fellow and professor at the University of Maryland School of Public Policy.
Karen Bagdes-Canning felt a sense of déjà vu when she marched past the White House on Sunday holding a sign with the words "Oil Sands" crossed out. A year earlier she had joined a crowd of about 10,000 that ringed the White House in hopes of persuading President Obama to veto the Keystone XL pipeline, which at the time appeared headed for approval.
Now she was back with the same message.
"I had to come down again. I'm worried about climate change and rejecting this pipeline is one of the biggest things President Obama can do," said Bagdes-Canning, who traveled from the town of Cherry Valley, Pa., outside Pittsburgh, for the protest.
Environmentalists consider the 2011 march a major success, because just days later President Obama delayed a decision on the controversial pipeline—and months later, in January 2012, he rejected the permit for the project altogether.
TransCanada, the pipeline's builder, filed a new application with the State Department this spring, restarting the clock on the federal review process.
Now that the election is over and the administration's new assessment is well underway, the Keystone XL is again at the top of agenda for many environmental groups. And once again they find themselves fighting the odds, with news stories and pundits already predicting that Obama will approve the pipeline, especially now that he no longer needs environmentalists' support for his election campaign.
An oil company's track record on spills—and whether it is prepared for future accidents—has become increasingly important to investors now that oil exploration and extraction is moving offshore and into risky areas like the Arctic or South America.
That's the message of an analysis released this week by MSCI Inc., a New York-based investment research firm. It rated 30 of the world's largest oil and gas companies on their investment attractiveness based on their history of spills and environmental management, as well as the riskiness of the areas they are exploring. BP and Chevron were singled out as companies that are poorly positioned in this area. The Norwegian company Statoil and Britain's BG were found to be the best positioned for a riskier era of drilling.
How can the United States turn its clean energy economy into one as robust as Germany's, where 26 percent of electrical power currently comes from renewable sources?
The answer, said author Osha Gray Davidson, is that the government should listen to the people.
"The critical part is that the German people decided to do this, then [the government] worked out the policy," said Davidson, author of the new book "Clean Break" about Germany's renewable energy transformation or Energiewende.
"To people who say it can't be done here, it worked in Germany. If they can do it there, we can do it here."
Davidson spoke at a panel discussion in Washington D.C. Tuesday sponsored by the Heinrich Böll Foundation and InsideClimate News, which is publishing "Clean Break" as a six-part series. Other panelists included Eric Roston, sustainability editor for Bloomberg.com, Anya Schoolman, executive director of the D.C.-based Community Power Network and Arne Jungjohann, director of the Böll Foundation's environmental and global dialogue program.
Even before President Obama took the stage for his victory speech last night, environmentalists were laying out their expectations for his second term: act on climate change, whether it's through sweeping legislative action, regulatory rules or decisions like blocking the Keystone XL pipeline.
Just minutes after the race was called Tuesday night, the group 350.org announced a Keystone XL protest on Nov. 18. Young climate activists who joined the celebration outside the White House held up a sign saying "Sandy Demands Climate Action Now," a reference to the devastation caused by Hurricane Sandy.
One line in Obama's victory speech gave the green groups hope that he might act.
"We want our children to live in an America that isn't burdened by debt, that isn't weakened by inequality, that isn't threatened by the destructive power of a warming planet," the president said.
But taking action to achieve those goals isn't going to be easy. While more than a dozen legislators targeted by environmental groups for their votes on clean energy and climate change bills were defeated Tuesday, neither chamber switched parties. With the status quo likely to continue in Congress, environmental groups say they'll pressure the White House to continue, or amplify, its work of the last four years.
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's last-minute endorsement of President Obama last week—released in an editorial titled "A Vote for a President to Lead on Climate Change"—wasn't simply a big political event. It also raised the issue of climate change to a level that hadn't been seen in the long presidential campaign.
Groups that have been monitoring the candidates' positions on climate change say it's unclear what impact Bloomberg's statement—which said the devastation from superstorm Sandy "should be enough to compel all elected leaders to take immediate action"—will have on today's election.
But it has drawn new attention to the differences between Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney.
"The president would continue to work on investing in clean energy, continue initiatives to reduce carbon pollution and pushing to end tax breaks of big oil," said Jeff Gohringer, national press secretary for the League of Conservation Voters, a political advocacy organization dedicated to supporting pro-environment candidates. "If Mitt Romney becomes president he will be the first president ever to reject the scientific consensus surrounding climate change.
"So you can see the clear contrasts and what those respective politics hold for the country."

I planted my potted figs out in the ground a week ago when the temps were 70+ day, 50+ night. The temps last night fell down to 30-32. I can see some frost burn on the leaves this morning.
There is a frost and potential SNOW forecasted for the weekend in our area. Would covering them with frost blanket be enough, or should I do major cover up with burlap - as if for over-wintering? Thanks |

You took them out so early. Mine were out for the weather you mentioned but they are back in the garage. I am hearing that the week-end will be sub-zero degree weather with snow. It is crazy weather. I am planning to hang Xmas lights on my apricot trees to protect the flowers. |
I know, but they were breaking out of dormacy very fast - even setting up fruit (brebas?) I guess I will cover them with burlap? |
I covered my Desert King last night with an old comforter,over. It is full of Breba figs and needs protection,so fruits do not fall out from frost. We had 26F,last night. |
My friend, our figs are to precious not to protect as good as possible. Cover them well. Fred |
In my area, we got lucky. Temps last night only got to 36. I did tote many of my precious 1 and 2 gallon tree back in the greenhouse. But I also left many outside....no damage. But my Violette de Bourdeaux trees did look sad this morning. Temps did reach 65 today but back down to 44s at night. I'm going to leave those in my GH there for another week or least till temps get back up to 75 again. Dennis |
I have trees in the garage right now with brebas on them. That is not a reason to bring the plants outside. They will do ok for a while still inside. |
If mine i would cover very well with several blankets- But also consider the longer term forecast, if temps are going to stay cold for a while it may be best to do the complete protection otherwise a whole season could be disappointment with no figs at all. Going to about 20 here tonight with frost forecast for next 5 nights. Much different than last spring here by me. Martin |
I would dig it up and put it pot replant later. |
- Posted by foolishpleasure 7a (My Page) on Sat, Mar 26, 11 at 5:11
The forecast here in our area it dip to 30 or low 30 from Saturday to Monday. I add a day or two as margin of errors I say let stay safe and leave it in teh Garage. I hanged out-door Xmas lights on my Apricot trees which is full with beautiful white flowers and I am getting worried. |
figs and poms are covered , mulched, and staying in ground -- I am not gigging them out. will report later |

Hello Jollyrd, I live in Richmond and have about 15 fig trees that I have put in the ground about a week ago. What I did is I covered them with clear plastic bags. Checked on it this morning and I don�t think they really liked the cold few nights that we had here in Richmond but I think they will survive. I will uncover them Tuesday morning and hope for the best. What kind of fig trees did you put in the ground this spring and what are the best performers for you? I have about 50+ varieties that I have acquired over 3 years and always looking for some more�..just can�t stop :-) Thank you, Anton |
uh, I would NOT cover them with plastic or let the plastic TOUCH the actual tree. I wrapped figs with with burlap, and pomegranates with thick frost blanket. Have not dared to look at them yet. We should have 25F tonight and tomorrow night. So wait till Wed to uncover. For some weird reason, my dogs kept pulling the frost blanket from one of the poms and using it as a rug for themselves. Had to re-cover it twice and teach dogs a lesson. I have Kadota and Latarulla figs. And three poms - one Russian and two from Azerbaijan. You must have a lot of space! |
- Posted by Richmondfigs none (My Page) on Mon, Mar 28, 11 at 16:01
I try to plant them close to each other (4 feet) and keep them small because I want to fit a lot of trees in the small space. I will pull the plastic off today because the leafs are turning light yellow maybe because of the plastic touching the leafs. I should have waited few weeks before planting them outside but this weather has tricked me to do so. I have one Kadota from Lowes and it grew very slow last season, but the Kadota that I gave to my father grew about 5 feet and had about 15 figs on it the first year. |
Check with your county agent,as to last freeze/frost date in your county. Then adjust your "planting". In New Bern , it is April 17th. This helps from being fooled by warm weather early in Spring. Fred |
Just wanted to update you all - both figs and three poms are doing great, all have put new growth, leaves, etc. I cut off the brown/dead ends on them - not too much compared to overall size of the trees |

Cookbook author Grace Young discovered that making popcorn in her wok accomplished two things: It delivered a great snack and helped season her pan. She writes in her book, Stir-Frying to the Sky's Edge, "As the kernels pop, they evenly disperse a light coating of oil around the wok's entire inside surface, which the heat then burns in. Of course, popping corn will not make a new wok suddenly look or behave like a 30-year-old pan. The traditional way to develop a patina once the wok has been seasoned is to cook regularly with the wok; you cannot replicate the elegance of a truly old wok overnight. However, the popcorn trick will cheat the process a little. If you are content to let your wok slowly age without shortcuts, then use this recipe only if you want perfect popcorn." —Grace Young
There's more. She smartly advises that, to reduce clean up, simply wrap the inside of the wok's lid in aluminum foil. Otherwise the inside surface of the wok's lid will be spattered with oil.–Renee Schettler Rossi
LC Practice Makes Perfect Note
This is the perfect blueprint for making perfect popcorn, in any vessel, actually. Yet there may still be a little learning curve, a sort of dance, that eventually comes to happen in front of your stove to ensure that your popcorn pops properly. Like learning to increase the heat ever so slightly if a certain amount of time elapse and you hear nary a pop. Knowing to crack the lid a bit so that steam can escape to avoid slightly sodden popcorn. Even—and this is the tricky part—understanding that popcorn requires a minute or two of resting after being pulled from the heat and before being noshed to ensure the puffy white flakes turn from tough to tender. Practice, as they say, makes perfect. Don't forget that. And don't forget that just because you aren't at the movie theatre doesn't mean you can't drizzle on lots and lots of melted butter—the real deal, not that melted butter-flavoring fakery. Or actually, we've [Editor's Note: And be "we," I really mean me, Renee] become quite fond of a slight drizzle of olive oil, not butter, on our popcorn. Or you could even use coconut oil to pop the corn and you'll be rewarded with a sweet, nutty aroma and a taste to match. Or…well, we'll stop. We'd rather hear you tell us how you take your popcorn. So go on. Let us know in a comment below.
Perfect Popcorn Recipe
- 2 tablespoons peanut, vegetable, or coconut oil
- 1/3 to 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
- Coarse salt, to taste
- 1. Heat the oil and just a few popcorn kernels in a covered 14-inch flat-bottomed wok (or over very large pot) over medium heat until 1 or 2 kernels begin to pop, about 1 1/2 minutes.
- 2. Quickly open the lid just enough to pour in the remaining popcorn. Immediately cover the wok and reduce the heat to medium-low. If you do not hear constant popping, increase the heat to medium. Shake the wok constantly back and forth on the burner until the kernels stop popping, about 1 1/2 minutes. Immediately dump the popcorn into a bowl and salt to taste.

Ha, ha, ha, with 470 hp and 424 lb-ft of torque going to the rear axle, the Jaguar XF Supercharged was ready to rock and roll when I drove it home last night in fresh snow and 17 degree ambient temperatures! Fun. The stability control allows a bit of slippage but of course is there to save the day, and the snow mode for the transmission is helpful for starting off at intersections. Thankfully, our test car was equipped with Pirelli Sotto Zero winter tires; I suspect it would be undrivable in snow on even all-seasons.
Yes, the touchscreen navigation is still dated. I could not sync either my BlackBerry or my iPhone via Bluetooth despite repeated attempts, which was annoying. That quibble aside, hey, the XF is an absolutely lovely car and one that you should test-drive if you're in the market for a BMW 5-series, Mercedes-Benz E-class, or Audi A6. You certainly won't see yourself coming and going.

"Really good marinade. I'm not a cook and decided to try this. I used 3 bone in chicken breasts since the family likes white meat. Left it in the oven for only 45 mins and they came out juice. I also omitted the chili paste for the kids. Really easy and quick. Definitely would let it marinade longer, left it in about an hour. Thanks for the recip..."
"Just made this yesterday, brought to bbq, it was AMAZING. It was gone so fast. People were coming back for seconds before others even got their first portion. Definitely a keeper. Simple ingredients that just work well together, thanks for this recipe!"
"Love this great easy recipe. Was looking for the Ihop copy but this is just as good and no need for buttermilk. That was so hard to find. The ingredients in this recipe are always in the house and very quick to put together. Love it, thanks!! My kids love it and they come out fluffy."
"Madethis a month ago and fell in love with it!! My search was over for the best choc chip cookie. BUT I've tried making it over and over again and cannot replicate the same results from my 1st batch. I am sooo torn!! They now come out super hard after resting for 10 minutes. I can use them as hockey pucks! Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?..."

Specialty Drug Delivery Firm Integral BioSystems LLC to Participate in MassBio's MA CRO/CMO Symposium in Newton, Massachusetts on February 25, 2013
Integral BioSystems will participate in MassBio's 2nd Annual Massachusetts CRO/CMO Symposium on Monday, February 25, 2013 from 7:30AM to 6:00PM at the Boston Marriott Newton located at 2345 Commonwealth Avenue, Newton, MA 02466
Integral BioSystems LLC, led by 20+ year veteran of drug formulation development Shikha P. Barman, Ph.D. and VP of Operations/Intellectual Property Dave Karasic, Esq., will be on hand to answer questions about the firm and its capabilities. The Massachusetts CRO/CMO Symposium, organized by MassBio, is designed to bring together the biopharmaceutical industry and the Massachusetts CRO/CMO cluster. The event will showcase the roles these types of partnerships are playing in accelerating drug development.
Integral BioSystems' niche is in nano-engineered drug delivery systems aimed at providing solutions to long-held issues in drug products, especially in low drug absorption by target tissues due to cell impermeability and insolubility. In addition to assisting drug companies in developing their dosage forms, Integral scientists are also working on novel solutions to improve the bioavailability of Class II, III and IV compounds.
The Company has developed numerous dosage forms for ophthalmic, oral, sublingual, intranasal, IV and transdermal routes. Integral BioSystems has a translational approach to drug development, customizing delivery systems to achieve the biologically effective objectives of the therapy. Dosage forms are customized to achieve sustained release or targeted, tissue-focused delivery or fast-release/instant delivery, depending upon the desired product attributes.
Once the drug-containing formulations are tested in preclinical models, the Company develops an integrated CMC plan to systematically transition the project to scale up and product development. As part of product development, Integral BioSystems specializes in efficiently developing a dosage form to manufacture and test in Phase I/Phase II first-in-man trials for proof-of-concept. The Company has a network of manufacturers/analytical houses for pharmaceutics that can fast-track the manufacture and release of the sterile dosage form for first-in-man trials.
The Company business model is based on the following corporate objectives: (a) to be a collaborating partner in formulation development/drug product design for start-up and small companies, taking concepts from the laboratory to the clinic, (b) to re-formulate approved drugs for better efficacy and safety profiles, (c) to be a collaborating partner with API synthesis companies to develop generic drug product formats and (d) offer corporate legal services such as contract development/negotiations, patent filings and assessment of IP portfolios.

In a report from Pratap Chakravarty of Agence France-Presse, India just launched a tablet device labeled as the "computer for the masses." The "Aakash" (Sky) was unveiled at a $46 price point, making it the world's cheapest tablet computer. The device utilizes the Android 2.2 operating system and has an external 2GB storage card and two USB ports.
But for reaching $46, one must make certain compromises, which is exactly the Canada-based manufacturer DataWind do. One is its limited 256-megabyte random access memory (RAM), and the other is its ridiculously short 180 minute battery life. Schools should best install new plugs for this one.

Alabama running back Eddie Lacy. Russ Lande
Eddie Lacy, RB, Alabama Crimson Tide (5-11, 231 pounds)
We weren't surprised to see several running backs drafted in front of Alabama's Eddie Lacy, but he is a solid fit and better value for Green Bay at this stage of round two. While lacking top end burst and vision, Lacy is a bear to bring down in the open field and will get plenty of room to operate in Green Bay's wide open offense.

What a difference a year makes: How has the 'Pope Francis effect' impacted the church?
blog Vatican
It hardly seems like a year ago that the world met Pope Francis for the first time--maybe that's because there's seemingly been more media coverage of the current pontiff in 12 months than his predecessor received in all eight years of his papacy. But with all the talk, has Francis really made a measurable difference in the church thus far?

Many new iPad and iPhone users, accustomed to copying files between computers via a USB flash drive, sorely miss this ability. Of course you can connect your iPad to a PC/Mac via the USB lead and dock but then you have to manage the content via iTunes – not exactly an easy method to quickly transfer or store a few files…
The free 'WiFi USB' app offers a way to turn your iOS device into a wireless external flash drive for easy transfer of files. WiFi USB is an app that lets you share, copy, and backup your files to and from your PC / Mac / Linux computer – or even a smartphone. It basically turns your iPhone or iPad into a web server which you can access wirelessly from any internet enabled device.
Averages ratings – 4 star ratings, Cost – free, Requirements – iOS 4.3 (or higher), Designed for – iPad or iPhone or iPod Touch, Size – 0.3MB. Download – at iTunes store here
- 1. Make sure your iPad or iPhone is connected to your wireless network
- 2. Start the Wifi USB app on your iOS Device
- 3. Use the web browser of your other device (e.g. computer/smartphone) to browse to the designated IP address e.g. if the IP address shown in Wifi USB was http://192.168.1.10:8080 (as in the example screenshot below) you would type that into the address bar of your web browser to visit it:
- 4. Select and copy files from your computer/phone to (or from) your iOS device via the web browser
- 5. Copied files can be accessed from the 'My Files' icon on your iOS device (bottom right of screenshot above)
Transferring files via a wireless network is much slower than via a genuine USB flash/external drive so obviously it is not an ideal method to transfer Gigabytes of files at a time.
However, as the USB option is not available with iOS devices, this app provides a simple way to use a wireless network to transfer files to/from your iPad/iPhone without the hassle of connecting via the dock and using iTunes.
This makes it great for taking your files with you and quickly transferring them wherever you have access to a wireless network – and it is compatible with almost any internet enabled device with a functional web browser.

Historical state of western Africa's Gold Coast (now Ghana). Founded by an Akan people c. 1600, it grew rich on the sale of gold. At its height in the early 18th century, Akwamu stretched more than 250 mi (400 km) along the coast, from Whydah (now Ouidah, Benin) in the east to beyond Winneba (now in Ghana) in the west. By 1710 the state was being pressured by other groups (including the Asante) that had grown powerful in the area, and by 1731 it had ceased to exist.

Makes 1 Cake
Mr. Moskovitz's European honey cake follows, with a few of my American additions. Other European Jewish bakers interviewed for this book also bake with white rye flour and cake flour when we would use all-purpose flour. I have included both choices.
- 1/2 cup dried apricots, roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup dark rum
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup clover honey
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- Grated peel and juice of 1 lemon
- Grated peel and juice of 1 orange
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup apricot jam
- 1 3/4 cups white rye or unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cake or unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup slivered almonds, or roughly chopped walnuts or cashews
In a small bowl, soak the apricots in the rum for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350° and grease a 10- by 5-inch loaf pan.
In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs with a whisk. Stir in the honey, vegetable oil, grated lemon and orange rind and juice, sugar, salt, and apricot jam.
Sift the 2 flours and the baking soda into another bowl.
Strain the apricots, reserving the excess rum.
Add the flour alternately with the rum to the honey cake mixture. Fold in the apricots. Scoop the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle with the nuts.
Bake in the oven on the lower rack for 50-55 minutes, or until the center of the cake is firm when you pres sit. Remove from the oven and cool on a rack.

BILLINGS - Mid-2011 remains the target date for completion of the total make-over of the historic Northern Hotel in downtown Billings.
Brothers Mike and Chris Nelson say they've turned the corner in their multi-million dollar project to return the Northern to its heyday. Friday evening, Mike Nelson unveiled new artist sketches of the interior design of the hotel. It's a design that Nelson says will feature works from Montana artists and materials from across the Big Sky state.
"Some of the design elements will include a local flavor like cowhorn wall tiles and travertine from hopefully Montana quarries, all put together by people from Billings who designed it and local artisans who put it in," explained Nelson. That's the whole theme behind the Northern," Nelson said. "Our designers call the theme Western Chic, or Cowboy Hip, said Nelson. "I think it is a rather sophisticated interior design."
The new Northern will feature an elegant lobby, two restaurants, 12 meeting rooms and 160 hotel rooms. Nelson says the tenth and ninth floors are already framed in, as crews make their way from the top to the bottom of the historic building. Nelson says the project has taken on a "life of its own", but he remains optimistic the hotel will reopen next summer.
The Nelson brothers purchased the historic hotel in January of 2009 for 2.5 million dollars. Earlier this year, the Billings City Council approved using 20-million dollars in Recovery Zone Facility Bonds to help finance renovating the historic hotel.

In a previous thread I asked about an alternative to the T61 LED I bought at Home Depot that is semi-recessed and fits in a standard junction box. That LED is made by Cree but unlike the rebranded Eco Smart, it hums when dimmed. I have found the similar light that is not sold rebranded by HD anymore but is sold by its manufacturer LSG as the Glimpse. Does anyone out there have any experience with the Glimpse and whether it hums when dimmed? Thanks! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Previous Thread
Follow-Up Postings:
I found the new Commercial Electric/Cree LED disc to look better than the LSG Glimpse, but didn't try either with a dimmer. Often changing dimmer models or brands solves the problem. |
I've not found any reviews where someone made the HD version work with a dimmer and mine hum with a dimmer. If you find one that works, please share the info. |
We have a Glimpse in one spot where a duct interferred with a full-size can. We bought it online, not HD and use it with a Lutron Skylark contour dimmer which was from HD. It does not hum. |
the T61 LED that is built into a display (along with a LED can light) at my local homedepot doesn't seem to hum |
- Posted by SparklingWater (My Page) on Sun, Mar 24, 13 at 22:31
I bookmarked Leviton Universal Dimmer for this type of problem on the recommendation of GW. Maybe it will help you. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Leviton Universal Dimmer:
Thanks for the responses. Mehmehmeh, was the display at HD on a dimmer? Mine are fine on a standard switch. |
We have the HD EcoSmart Crees on dimmers and no hums. We did have to replace one dimmer with one intended for LEDS because we were getting a flicker when down low. You may just need a new dimmer. Think about it -- you have dramatically reduced the wattage being controlled and older dimmers may not be prepared to handle that. |
The problem is that the EcoSmarts don't hum but require a can. The bulb that's in the semi recessed fixture is not the same bulb and it does hum. :-( We used a dimmer specifically recommended for LED that works fine with the Ecosmarts. |
The easiest remedy might be to remove the dimmer switch. |
We did remove the dimmer. The purpose of the thread is to find out whether the brand name Glimpse hums with a dimmer. If it does not, we might consider returning what we have and getting the Glimpse. Thanks! |

Underutilisation and less than optimum performance from today's server and storage systems are byproducts of two main issues.
Issue One : Servers and storage have been added whenever and wherever needed, by different departments, divisions and locations.
Issue Two : Many organizations deploy a single application per server.
Server and storage consolidation is one key way to improve utilization.
There are five types of server and storage consolidation.
Logical consolidation is the simplest and least expensive form of server/storage consolidation. It involves the consistent application of policies, procedures and best practices across infrastructures, including the use of consistent deployment, change management and monitoring methodologies and tools. Logical consolidation provides more control and consistency, and should be implemented and reviewed on a regular basis across IT organizations.
Physical consolidation involves the location of server and storage devices. By reducing the number of physical locations for servers and storage, organizations can greatly simplify the day-to-day management and operations of these devices. In fact, physical consolidation is often a prerequisite, or at least a good starting point, for all the consolidation types.
Workload consolidation involves moving the same application from a variety of servers and storage devices to fewer and newer more powerful servers and storage devices. Combining workloads that have been deployed remotely and/or on older generation servers can provide improved manageability, performance and utilization. Workload consolidation has proven very effective for a number of applications, including file/print and messaging/e-mail.
Storage consolidation provides a number of benefits. By combining disparate storage resources and moving to networked storage, organizations can simplify the management of storage and significantly improve utilization. The management of backup and restore processes can also be greatly improved through centralized, networked storage. These solutions will be the platform for continued, managed data growth in the future.
Application consolidation involves the aggregation of distinct applications onto a single server. New server virtualization technologies enable this by partitioning the server into virtual workspaces for each application. Extensions of this technology now enable the movement of these virtual machines across clustered physical systems, essentially removing physical limits to the number of virtual machines that can be supported. Virtualization is a technology that will be essential for the datacenter of the future and should be investigated by most organization.
Through consolidation and virtualization, organizations can dramatically improve utilization today. At the same time, clusters for key applications must be considered for additional utilization through availability.

Grilling Vs. BBQ
August 30, 2012
Although used interchangeably by many, these two methods are, in fact, quite different. Grilling requires higher heat and faster cook times, while BBQ is a slower process involving lower temperatures and bastings with tomato and vinegar-based sauces.

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 Undo!
Facts about Undo
- Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier Mix
- Color: Black - With White
- Age: Young
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Male
Undo's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Undo is a big baby. He is a very sweet boy that just wants someone to love him. He is a great dog and needs lots of exercise and fun time with the kids. Undo may be to much for the smaller children just because of his size and puppy like attitude when playing. He seems to be good with most other dogs but we are not sure about cats. Undo is up to date on shots and has been neutered.
Other Pets at Hancock County Animal Shelter
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Undo, a New Cumberland American Pit Bull Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Pit Bull Terrier for sale in New Cumberland, or seeking a American Pit Bull Terrier dog from a breeder in New Cumberland.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in New Cumberland 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 New Cumberland 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 American Pit Bull Terrier breeders who help with American Pit Bull Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in New Cumberland paves the way for another one to be saved.

Summary: ''He brings something ancient and compelling . . . a kind of rare Sephardic wisdom, a brilliance traveling at the speed of Los Angeles light. He is one of America's very best poets. A true visionary.''-Tomaz Salamun ?? ''Angel's poems are deceptively quiet, deceptively calm. Beneath their carefully constructed surfaces, they are wild, even intimidating. The power of restraint in poetry cannot be overestimated. . . . These poems burn from within.''-Carol Muske-Dukes, LA TimesWith the ...show morepublication of his award-winning volumes, ''Anxious Latitudes'', ''Neither World'', and ''Twice Removed'', Ralph Angel has won the admiration of readers of contemporary poetry for the extraordinary abstract lyricism of his poems. There is a superb grace, speculative intelligence, and a wry philosophical wisdom to Angel's poetry. There are few poets so accomplished at creating an elegant yet innovative and provocative voice. Now, in Ralph Angel's ''Exceptions and Melancholies: Poems 1986__2006'', we find ourselves again in the presence of poetry that will move us even closer to a new and renewed promise of the American sublime. As Mark Doty has written, ''These are the poems of a casual, down-to-earth philosopher who's been spun around and turned inside out by loss, by the desolation of life in the late [and early] hours of the century. . . . Angel's poems are stamped indelibly with the mark of a unique, shaping imagination, and they're fresh with news of how it feels to live right now. He creates himself and his poems' characters, strange people in a strangely familiarplace. We recognize them, of course, as well we might since they are ourselves and the city where they live is ours. Ralph Angel is the author of three previous collections of poetry: ''Anxious Latitudes'';'' Neither World'', which received the 1995 James Laughlin Award of The Academy of American Poets; and ''Twice Removed''; as well as a translation of Federico Garc??a Lorca's ''Poem of the Deep Song''. Angel's poems have appeared in scores of magazines and anthologies, both here and abroad, and recent literary awards include a gift from the Elgin Cox Trust, a Pushcart Prize, the 2003 Willis Barnstone Poetry Translation Prize, a Fulbright Foundation fellowship, and the Bess Hokin Award of the Modern Poetry Association. Mr. Angel is the Edith R. White Distinguished Professor of English and Creative Writing at the University of Redlands, and a member of the MFA Program in Writing faculty at Vermont College. Originally from Seattle, he lives in Los Angeles. ...show less

This is a tableless CSS form which you can use as a template for implementing your own lightweight form. It uses a combination of float and negative margins to create a two column layout for the form. One issue with the form is IE6's three pixel jog bug, which is addressed in the demo manually, by offsetting the jogged checkboxes with an additional margin. You may wish to implement a more thorough fix, though it will increase the size of the code. IE7 does not suffer from the 3 pixel bug.
The form is responsive in that it expands to take advantage of the full horizontal space of the page when the window is 480px or less, or that of most smart phones.

LolitaXXX's Biography: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Some words from LolitaXXX: | |
A few of you naughty Literotica members and fans have asked me about my fetishes and how they came to be. So, here is my answer... My naughty, nasty, overly-active, and sexually-charged imagination! Physically, my warm little kitty that says,"mmmmmmm! I really like that!" I have always had a deep attraction to older men...my father was a very strong intelligent man (an awesome role model) that would not take no for an answer. I have never thought about my father in a sexual fashion but he definitely influenced my taste or preference in men (since he was the first man to love me for me). I can't help but flutter to other men that share similar characteristics. I get very turned-on by the thought of being the object of their desire...not to mention the delicious naughtiness of the taboo of a daddy fucking his daughter. So...a "daddy's girl" was born. Mens' hands kind of tie into my love of being a daddy's girl. I love how strong and rough mens' hands are and knowing that their hands are going to be acting on whatever these big strong daddy's have their minds set on. mmmmmmmm...Daddy taking what is his or what he thinks should be his. I think that's it right there...being taken. Being ravished...I may say, "no, no, no!" but I want my "daddy" to make me say, "yes, Yes, YES!!!" MMMMMMMMM...Insemination is just another way that daddy claims his baby girl as his. It's kind of like he's marking her with his scent. And you can't get any more intimate than sharing in someones orgasm, and the fluids that come from that orgasm. Teasing...hhhmmmmm...what can I tell you? I love being brought to the edge again and again and again! I cum sooo much harder when I'm teased like that, and I also love to see a big strong daddy teased to the point where he loses control and becomes an animal in his need to cum. MMMMMMMMM!!! ...so very hot to see! I do plan on submitting a few stories that have been whirling around in my head for quite some time. ...just a little something that may get the juices flowing in all of you who love a good incest story. I would love to hear all of your naughty nasty thoughts so don't be shy... feel free to ask or share anything that may pop into your head. I'll be waiting... wet, willing, and wanton. LolitaXXX |

I have a great idea. Infact we did it for Mother's Day. Take a small jar put a little piece of geen playdough in the inside of the lid.(upside down) Now have the kids make tiny flowers. I actually let them paint and cut out little flowers and then glued them to toothpicks. Stick the tooth picks in the playdough. The kids loved placing the flowers in the grass. Now invert the glass part of the jar on the lid, now you have your little terrarium. We put ribbon around the lip part of the lid to make it look pretty. The moms were thrilled!!!
