Several weeks ago, Andrew and Nancy Bennett donated 7 acres of land to the city "for the express purpose of extending the Greenway." The parcel is located on the north side of Mohawk Drive and is adjacent to Mouse Creek. Extending the Greenway another quarter mile is very possible, as passage under the Mohawk bridge over Mouse Creek is "doable," and once on the northern side the terrain is very adaptable to asphalt or concrete.
As all of the Greenway is currently, it is located in the flood zone, but that means it is that much more attractive to Greenway development because codes do not allow permanent structures in a flood zone.
When this quarter-mile extension happens, depending on where it comes out, it will potentially connect hundreds of families directly to the Greenway. Walkers, runners, bikers and pet owners will have uninhibited access to the entire four miles of Greenway, allowing them to venture to such places as The Home Depot, Tinsley Park, Cleveland High School, Cooke's Food Store or Northway Plaza without having to cross a street or stop for traffic.
This "neighborhood connection" was precisely the goal when the residents of Northwood subdivision were recently connected to the Greenway at Phase 5 when it was completed earlier this year. These connections will be even more vital as the Greenway expands in either direction. Whether north or south, the Greenway will encounter residential property and the opportunity for those residents to have uninhibited access.
In the 11 years our Greenway has been around, we have been blessed with nearly $2 million in grants coming from various sources, including the Tennessee Department of Transportation, Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, and the local Healthy Community Initiative. The city and county governments have also stepped up at critical times, including a matching fund partnership to get the Greenway on the ground in the beginning days.
Although still a viable option, recent changes in the process to secure state grant funding makes it more difficult to qualify for the grants. Both the city and county governments would love to contribute as is needed, but their funds are earmarked more and more as well.
For the Greenway to expand, it is going to take a much more concerted effort of support, donations and fundraising from individuals, organizations and corporations with a future vision for the Greenway.
The Bennetts recognized how important that piece of land was to extending the Greenway northward and their gift perpetuates the trend of donations received. So far, no piece of land has had to be bought in the entire four miles of the Greenway. It will take generous people like the Bennetts to extend the Greenway vision.

Buffett Got It Right This Time
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Over the past three years I've found myself disagreeing with Warren Buffett more and more.
However, speaking to investors at
Berkshire Hathaway's annual meeting this year, he finally said something I agree with: "If business schools could offer just one course, it would not be on stock trading, the efficient market hypothesis or modern portfolio theory. Rather, B-schools should be encouraging students to learn the boring, but critically important, discipline of business valuation."
Warren Buffett
There are 27 million small business owners according to the Small Business Administration's 2009 census. I would posit just a small fraction of these actually know what their business is worth. Worse, typically, a small business owner has some 90% of their net worth tied up in the business.
This is a very dangerous bit of ignorance on the part of business owners. Reason: Ceteris Paribas, the federal estate tax exemption will fall from $5 million to $1 million at the end of this year. That mean if you own a business worth $4 million, upon death, $3 million is subject to federal estate tax as high as 55% or $1.65 million.
The possible end games are not pretty:- Litigate with the feds over the value of your business. Remember, this is the same Fed that has been printing money for the last several years.
- Wipe out your liquid net worth to pay estate taxes owed on the business.
- Sell the business to pay the estate taxes.

I can't believe we've been able to keep this thing basically functional for so many yrs! Anyway..latest issue is this...my husband replaced the wash tub drain last month so now it's not throwing daily codes! Now however,the cycle completes but the clothes are dirty...very dingy whites and lights. It's almost seems as though the dirtier pieces have soaked in gray water. Any ideas? |

Not to be negative, but there are a ton of threads and information here regarding your topic. Why not try doing a search first, then come back if you can't find the answer? I think that's a good solution. |
@shriva, I think what the OP was trying to say is that this issue of dirty laundry is new in her machine since the last repair was done. @julescap, it sounds like the new pump was not installed properly and is not pumping the dirty wash water out? Or maybe even adding some residue to the wash? Can you run a tub clean cycle on the washer with really hot water to try and flush it out? Also, did you observe the entire cycle and confirm that the pump is in fact doing what it's supposed to do? |
Is this a Whirlpool or Kenmore Calypso? The pump can be tested in diagnostic mode for proper functioning. |
Thanks for responding guys! @izeve, yes...this is a new problem since the last repair. I don't have a tub clean cycle but I periodically use a bleach etc tub clean though I haven't done it recently. I'm thinking more along the lines of what you said about pump not being installed properly. I can't really observe the action of cycles in my washer as it stops when top is opened. I think my husband will try to test the pump in diagnostic mode this w/e. @dadoes, it's a Kenmore and we do have the manual...my husband will try to test this w/e |

@ julescap Sorry for my earlier post, I misunderstood your question. The only thing I can think of would possibly be a reverse siphoning of dirty water from the drain back into your machine, but most machines will have an anti-siphon feature in the pump/drain to prevent this from happening. Is it possible when you replaced the drain that somehow compromised the anti-siphon system? I'm just thinking out loud. |
There's not much chance of installing the pump wrong. It fits into the machine just one way, with just two hoses connected. Calypso runs the pump ~95% of the time during a cycle, either in one direction for recirculation or the reverse direction for draining. The design of the machine largely eliminates the possibility of siphoning in drain water. Suggestion: Run a Heavy cycle with hottest water you can get, no clothes, and a good dose (1 measured cup) of LemiShine. Love my Calypso, washes & rinses very well. |

PALMETTO, Fla. — After experiencing one of the worst years on record, Florida tomato grower-shippers opened their new season with lower-than-normal national volume and stronger demand.
Growers began harvesting light volumes of grape and cherry tomatoes in mid-October, and their packing lines began running mature-greens and romas later in the month.
Chuck Weisinger, president and chief executive officer of Weis-Buy Farms Inc., Fort Myers, said business is good.
"The quality has improved tremendously," he said. "We have had very few problems out of Florida. I don't see the volume. A lot of these guys are just getting started.
"It's not working that prices are going to drop. There's not enough volume. Even with the problems in the Northeast, demand still seems to be pretty good. The orders have been met, and they seem to have found a price that works. Unless we're really surprised, $12 for extra-large gassed green tomatoes should be OK. They seem to have a pretty market working."
In late November, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported 25-pound cartons of loose mature-greens 85% U.S. 1 or better from central Florida selling for $13.95 for 5x6s, 6x6s and 6x7s.
In late November, the USDA reported $15.95 for 5x6s and $11.95-13.95 for 6x6s and 6x7s from the west Florida Quincy growing region.
Last season, in mid-November, the USDA reported the same cartons and sizes from central Florida selling for $14.95.
Weisinger said the market should hold steady through early December.
Mexico isn't producing much volume coming out of its summer roma deal and beginning its fall deal, which is keeping high prices fairly high, he said.
Tony DiMare, vice president of the Homestead-based DiMare Co. and other shippers said lower supplies from the Eastern Shore and California finishing its Central Valley deal helped keep late October and early November prices strong.
DiMare said he expects central Florida volume to build throughout November and increase into higher, promotable volume by late November, as normal.
He said south Florida production, centered in Immokalee, typically begins in late November and early December, with volume increasing by mid-December.
Winter production in Homestead normally starts in early January.
Bob Spencer, vice president and sales manager of West Coast Tomato Inc., said lower early season national volume helped keep prices above average.
"Some of the crops up north finished a little earlier than normal," he said. "There wasn't as much planted late in the northern part. So we had sort of an empty supply chain at the other end. I think a lot of customers were ready to shift over from California, so that made the transition a little easier as they were ready for them."

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Nienaber, Herman firstname.lastname@example.com URN etd-02122009-151435 Document Title Effect of roughage to concentrate ratio on ruminal fermentation and protein degradability in dairy cows Degree MSc(Agric) Department Animal and Wildlife Sciences Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof W A van Niekerk Co-Supervisor Prof L J Erasmus Supervisor Keywords
- dairy cows
- rumen undegradable protein
Date 2008-09-03 Availability unrestricted Abstract Published research suggests that it might be beneficial to increase the amount of rumen undegradable protein (RUP) that passes out of the rumen, through manipulation of rumen fermentation to establish a lower rumen pH. To test this hypothesis, a study was conducted in which three ruminally cannulated Holstein cows, 722 kg ±25.6 kg fed three different diets (treatments) were used in a Latin square design experiment to determine effects of increasing levels of dietary concentrate on some rumen parameters and ruminal crude protein (CP) degradability. The in situ method was used to determine the ruminal protein degradability of sunflower oilcake, cottonseed oilcake and roasted soya. The three treatments differed in roughage:concentrate ratio, being 60:40 (Treatment UP 60), 45:55 (Treatment UP 45) and 30:70 (Treatment UP 30). Intake of dry matter (DM) (kg/day) did not differ between treatments. The mean rumen pH in cows receiving the three experimental diets differed and was 6.00, 6.27 and 6.44 for treatments UP 30, UP 45 and UP 60 respectively. The time (hours) below pH 5.8, which is considered to be the pH where fibre degradation is substantially negatively affected, was approximately 2.5 hours, but only on treatment UP 30. Mean rumen ammonia nitrogen (N) and total volatile fatty acid (VFA) concentrations did not differ among cows receiving different treatments but, cows fed treatment UP 30 had a lower ruminal acetic acid:propionic acid (A:P) ratio compared to the other treatments. There were no differences in ruminal CP degradation within the three feedstuffs when incubated in cows fed diets with different roughage:concentrate ratios. Results suggest that roughage:concentrate ratios ranging from 60:40 to 30:70, which resulted in mean pH values ranging from 6.4 to 6.0, did not affect ruminal CP degradation of sunflower oilcake, cottonseed oilcake and roasted soya.

The recent Bradley Cooper vehicle, "Limitless," is still making rounds in many theaters, presenting a tantalizing picture of unlimited potential. Sure, for Cooper's Eddie Morra, that potential comes by way of a small clear pill known as NZT with a laundry list of negative side-effects, but watching Morra transform from a greasy loser to a sparkling genius is like a Cinderella story (with a lot of guns, blood hungry loan sharks, and dying junkies). As the credits rolled, I wondered how much accuracy there was to the movie's science. Today's infographic tackles the myth that we only use 10% of our brains, the actual possibility of an NZT-like drug, and other brainy tid-bits. (For another awesome infographic on the brain, see the previously posted 15 Things You Didn't Know About the Brain.)
The middle section gives an interesting numerical snapshot of the brain. According to the infographic, the brain weighs 3 lbs. and contains 100,000 miles, yes miles, of blood vessels. The bottom portion examines the current possibility of several key "Limitless" plot points. Just how likely is a drug that unlocks a hidden cache of brilliance? At this point, it looks like much of the plot is rooted in a combination of science and science fiction.
Whether the movie's science is 100% plausible or not, "Limitless" is definitely worth a watch. If nothing else, it presents a compelling scenario: at what price would you take unlimited personal potential? [Via]

12th Annual Liberty Lacrosse Shootout
June 6-7, 2015
Registration will open soon.
Please give us your email address so we are sure to include you on the distribution list!!
Click here to join our mailing list
Thanks to all the coaches, players, parents, sponsors, fans, staff and vendors who participated in 2014 Liberty Lacrosse Shootout. The Tournament featured 100 teams, representing Southeastern Pennsylvania, Central Pennsylvania, the Lehigh Valley, New Jersey, New York and Maryland. As expected, the competition was strong and consistent with our Honor the Game standard.
We were blessed with great weather this year and we trust everyone was comfortable and enjoyed the set-up.
We have posted the team records by bracket as well as the results (including sportsmanship scores) of all pool play and playoff games. We were pleased to see so many closely contested games and a good number of matches that ended in "Bravehearts." Close and well played games are always exciting and fun to watch.
We have also posted pictures of the Champions and Finalists in each of the brackets. Congratulations in particular to the Vipers from New York for winning the featured U15A Kip Taviano Division. Click here to see the pictures!
As always, thank you to Greater Chester Valley Soccer Association for permitting us to use their wonderful field complex for the event. Special thanks to Bryn Mawr Rehabilitation Hospital for allowing us to use a portion of their front expanse for parking, to the Natural Lands Trust for permitting foot traffic from BMRH through the Willistown Preserve, and to Phelps School for letting us use 2 fields on their beautiful campus, which helped lighten the logistical load on the Line Road Facility this year and enable us to include the additional teams that wanted to compete in the event. We are grateful to Main Line Health for its sponsorship this year and, among other things, for the blood pressure screenings it provided by Field 5 on Sunday.
We invite and encourage you to give us your feedback. We have used the testimonials and constructive input in the past to improve the event, and we would expect to continue to do so. If you enjoyed the experience, please also tell other coaches and teams in your programs and leagues about the Shootout. We think we have developed something special over the last eleven years and want to continue staging a robust and worthwhile tradition.
On behalf of the Tournament organizers, we appreciate your participation and sportsmanship and hope you had a fun and festive time. We look forward to seeing you again at the Liberty Lacrosse Shootout next year – June 6th and 7th. Registration for 2014 Shootout will open in the fall.
In the meantime, wear those Tournament T-Shirts proudly and keep "Cradlin' in the Cradle" and playing for the joy of the Creator! And remember, as our Native American forbears knew — "The Ball is the Medicine."

Oh Rita, Send me some tomatoes! I planted two plants today, and may plant a couple more. I have no idea how you folks ho live in cooler morning climes can grow daylilies. They pout like spoiled brats when it is cool here. One more cool day and back to normal. |

That is why some of the southern plants that usually do well for you might not be good choices here. Just depends. I really have gone overboard on the tomatoes and am now going to have tomatoes in the middle of the very little lawn I had left here! Wish I could give all my forum friends tomatoes. |
You have maters! I only put out 4 tomato plants, but we don't seem to eat that many. I got 2 Big Boy & 2 of another, but right now haven't a clue what is out there. I love Cherokee Purple tomatoes, but DH doesn't like any except red tomatoes. No yellow, pink, purple, hates cherry tomatoes too, although I should have a few volunteers of those. Maybe not, haven't seen them yet. Can't buy the heirlooms in the grocery here, they are 3 times the price of other tomatoes. I should grow the heirloom tomatoes & make DH go buy his red maters. Reminds me, I need to get some cukes planted! |

I am not done but already tired. Been planting all day. Got most of the annuals in but still have that big flat of zinnias to do. I planted my peas and am working on the new tomato garden area. I lugged ten bags of compost from out of the car (that I bought yesterday) and dropped them out in the lawn between the terraces garden and the tower square garden. Been arrangeing them to make the new tomato planting space. I am putting bricks to outline (which I have) and need to drive stakes which will be every two plants. I have 8 tomatoes going there. I want to plant them tomorrow so I will just be happy if I actually make the gardenbed today. |

Oh Rita, I don't think you can have too many tomatoes! I think I only have 6 (including Sun Gold which is the only cherry tomato I grow...very prolific and oh so good!)...I wish wish wish I had space for more! Last year I discovered I could buy a whole box of tomatoes from a local farm in MD. I drove up there twice (trying to avoid traffic...ha), just so I could get the tomatoes! Oh my. So good! I roast them and make my own sauce. This year, I'm aiming to buy those boxes as soon as they are available! I want to fill my freezer with tomatoes! Anyway, good luck with the tomatoes! Many delicious bites ahead...and happy flowers, too! |
- Posted by newyorkrita z6b/7a LI NY (My Page) on Fri, May 11, 12 at 19:56
Oh yeah. I am going to have tomatoes up the yazzoo this year what with planting 49 plants. I must be crazy. I got too tired to finish on the new tomato garden area so I quit. I need to finish putting the bricks around. Pound in posts and then layer newspaper over grass so I can dump out those bags of compost. I am going to be planting in the compost, sorta like the lasangua method of gardening. But so far only have it laid out and centered were I want it. |
I ran to the local nursery today to get a mini rose and a plant for Mom-also came home with a Cherry Brandy Rudabeckia, a lenten rose, Hot Pink Riding Hood penstemon, and Golden Zebra daylily. I liked the striped leaves. |

6 Minutes Of Leonard Cohen Fun & Information
Indeed. Thrill to the cognitive dissonance of Kelley Lynch in her role as Executive Producer of the Tower Of Song Leonard Cohen tribute album.
Tremble in amazement as the Canadian singer-songwriter explains why Billy Joel's rendition of Light As The Breeze is better than his own
[Light As A Breeze is ] .. a song I never nailed … That's a song I never got right. Billy Joel performed the definitive version.
Compare Cohen's explanation of how Sisters Of Mercy was written and Sting's suppositions about that song before and after performing it.
Before: I always figured [Sisters Of Mercy] was about some convent somewhere
After: It's not really about nuns at all. I think it's about a bordello
Listen to Elton John and Suzanne Vega talk about what moves them about Leonard Cohen's music.

It's the not-so-distant future, and that digital dial in your self-cleaning car is pumping in nothing but corporate radio 24-7. Megalithic corporations like Clear Channel and AM/FM have succeeded in acquiring all of the nation's FM and AM stations. Aided by Recording Industry Association of America president Hilary Rosen, Congress has passed legislation to ensure that micro-radio forever remains an illegal operation. AOL chair Steve Case and his Time Warner pals control Internet radio media, and free MP3s have been completely banished from the Web. (The good news is that the children of Everclear frontman Art Alexakis are spared the life of poverty threatened by at least five unauthorized downloads of "Heroin Girl" in 2000.) You hear nothing but shit: fake rap, fake pop, fake rock and the Call's "I Still Believe" (which somehow manages to maintain regular rotation on all major stations).
You can relax now, little camper. Because even if such a scenario were to take place (to a large extent, it already has), chances are the operators of KVCU-AM/Radio 1190 -- the student-run, University of Colorado at Boulder-affiliated station -- would refuse to go down without a nasty fight. They are, after all, leading a virtual mutiny against corporate radio -- a stance they've maintained during the tender years of their broadcast life and the "AM revolution." Radio 1190 shows up in these pages quite a bit, but rest assured, Backwash is not on the Radio 1190 payroll (as if there were such a thing). Nope, the all-volunteer station gets perennial props for the simple reason that it rocks -- not just as a conduit of new, underground music, but also as a champion of this area's artists.
Consider Andrew Murphy. About a year ago, the nineteen-year-old history student founded Local Shakedown (4 to 6 p.m. Fridays), a specialty show devoted to playing music from local bands of all genres and exposing students to a scene that is often out of reach for the underage set. Last November, Murphy took the show out of the booth and into the Bluebird Theater with the first in the Local Shakedown all-ages live series, a two-night affair that paired familiar names like Munly with then less-well-known acts like Sarina Simoom; a second followed in January, and Murphy is planning another for July that tentatively features the Czars, the Apples, Tanger, the Breezy Porticos and Eiffel. And just what has young Master Murphy -- who also works at Boulder's Wax Trax and local publicity firm Fanatic Promotions -- been up to in his spare time?
For one thing, he's kind of been stalking Jello Biafra.
After all, Murphy knew that it might be a good idea to get the Dead Kennedys/Alternative Tentacles guru, who was born and raised in Boulder (possibly the coolest thing about that town -- second only to Mork and Mindy), involved in the Local Shakedown CD project he was then in the midst of compiling.
"I knew that he was in town visiting his parents over Christmas," says Murphy somewhat slyly. "I knew his real last name, and I went through the phone book and found him. He said he might be into it and that he would come to the January Bluebird show, because he likes the LaDonnas and Hemi Cuda. So I waited outside all night for him to show up, and when he did, he agreed to record something."
What Biafra recorded -- upstairs in the Bluebird office, with Murphy holding the mike and hoping the noise from the stage and an oddly whirring Coke machine wouldn't interfere too much with the sound -- was an extemporaneous litany on the Boulder/Denver music scene back in his day. "All there was was Firefall and people who wanted to be Firefall...We'd get parasitic scientologists like Chick Corea or Al DiMeola or some other jazz-fusion dweeb," Biafra says. "Local music? Forget it. They all just wanted to be signed to major labels so they could hang out with Firefall." The screed ends with praise for Radio 1190 in particular and a reminder of the importance of tuning in to local artists.
The two-disc, 45-track set then proceeds to demonstrate just why people should heed Biafra's call.
Lots of good local comps have been released lately: David Fox's LiveDenverComp (recorded in a series of Studio X sessions), Denver, from Wonderground Records, and Mike Jourgensen's Noise Tent Spring Sampler 2000 are among the more notable recent offerings. But Local Shakedown is unique in its scope and its spot-on selection of the area's finest. From Slim Cessna's Auto Club's "Earthquake," which follows Jello's intro, to the Gamits' "All Wicked," a track that rounds out more than two hours of music, Shakedown is an exhaustive look at a wide variety of artists, with plenty of surprises along the way. Folks from the more established local canon make their appearances -- the Apples on "The Oasis," Jux County on "Wowow," the Kalamath Brothers on "Only Son" -- as do fine treats from acts like the Cherry Bomb Club (the irresistible dance-floor soul concoction of "200% Machine") and the Volts ("Scandal" -- how do you say? -- fuckin' rocks). Refreshingly, the selections are clearly not dictated by genre. Sound artist J. Frede's atmospheric "Without" has little in common sonically with Ted Thacker as Swingwobble's lyrical, hilarious "I'm in Trouble," for example; and when the Geds' raucous "Burnt City" is followed by the thumping, rootsy charm of the 32-20 Jug Band's "Mama," it's clear that quality is the only common denominator here.

Another stage, another culture: The New Orleans Klezmer All-Stars, a group that amazingly weaves traditional Yiddish music with a touch of Louisiana zydeco, opens the Sounds of Summer--Music Under the Stars outdoor series at the Robert E. Loup Jewish Community Center, 350 S. Dahlia St. Admission to the 7 p.m. show ranges from $12 to $14; a boxed picnic dinner, $5 to $8, can also be reserved in advance. Call 321-8297.
And finally, all-American music with an elegant twist can be heard when bluegrass string-band masters Edgar Meyer, Mike Marshall and Sam Bush join classical violinist Joshua Bell for a sneak preview of their new classical/Americana quartet at the Denver Botanic Gardens outdoor amphitheater, 1005 York St. The music begins at 7:15 p.m.; for tickets, $21 ($18 DBG members), call 777-3836.
So many films, so little time to see them: One of the nice things about small film festivals is that they're grouped together thematically, so you can kill several cinematic birds with one stone. Or, as the case may be, in one weekend. The Aurora Asian Film Festival, which runs through Saturday at the Aurora Fox Arts Center, 9900 E. Colfax Ave., is a prime example, providing a quick, varied and thoroughly enjoyable overview of films by Asians and Asian-Americans. Some highlights include the Filipino film In the Navel of the Sea, which screens tonight at 7; tomorrow's world premiere of Tiger Street, about the friendship between an American science teacher and a Korean martial arts master; and on closing night, Christine Choy's documentary about the rape of Nanking, In the Name of the Emperor; Oscar winner Donna Dewey's A Story of Healing; and Kelly Loves Tony, a video diary about a pair of Laotian-American teen parents-to-be. Tickets to most showings are $5 to $7; for information and reservations call 595-FILM.
June 26
It's June, when a young bird's fancy turns to home--a perfect season for the annual Birdhaus Display at the Denver Botanic Gardens, 1005 York St. Anyone from a local celebrity to an architect to an artist may have had a hand in the crafting of the exhibition's inventive avian abodes, which range from "Lark Meadows Mall" to a sporty nest autographed by the Denver Broncos. The birdhouses make for a jolly show among the blossoms; see them scattered about the Gardens grounds through July 12. For more information call 370-8187.
June 27
The words "Play ball!" will take on a rich new meaning when National Vintage Base Ball Festival play begins this morning at The Field, located next to Broomfield City Hall at 120th Ave. and Main St., Broomfield. The event, a benefit for the Bal Swan Children's Center, pits a dozen regional old-time ball teams playing by the classic 1862 rule book against one another for a full day of old-fashioned fun. The teams, outfitted in period costume and versed in vintage lingo, include a pair of women's units--the Littleton Columbines and the Broomfield Resolutes; and a special crew of sports figures will tangle at 1 for an all-star celebrity game. The day ends with a reception and awards ceremony at 7 p.m.; admission is free. Call 460-8060.
Venture out of town this weekend and you just might chance upon a whole bunch of art, much of it at bargain prices. You'll find a big exhibition with a small-town heart at the Salida Art Walk, taking place from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. today and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. tomorrow on the streets and in the nooks and crannies of downtown Salida. Part open studio tour and part general town open house, the stroll takes in artist workspaces, cafes and coffeehouses interspersed with art of all sizes and shapes. Admission is free; for details call 1-719-539-2068 or log on to www.salidaartwalk.com.
In Colorado Springs, Native American and Hispanic arts will be in the spotlight during the annual Indian-Spanish Market, 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. today and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. tomorrow at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center, 30 W. Dale St. You'll see marvelous folk art, furniture, weaving, leatherwork and much more at the show, along with live musicians, dancers and storytellers; ethnic foods and artist demonstrations fill out the weekend. Gate admission is $5 (children twelve and under free with adult); call 1-719-634-5583.
Nobody does Latin jazz rhythms like ebullient conga master Poncho Sanchez, a rising son in a pantheon that includes such brilliant forebears as Tito Puente and Mongo Santamaria. Sanchez, backed by a top-notch dance band, brings his salsa sounds to the Arvada Center outdoor amphitheater, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., tonight at 7:30; for tickets, $20 for covered seating ($14 for general-admission lawn seating), call 431-3939.

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 Dilbert!
Facts about Dilbert
- Breed: Dachshund/Cocker Spaniel Mix
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Dilbert's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Dilbert is approx 5 months old as of aug 20/13, he weighs 11lbs, he looks like a dachshund/cocker mix, he loves to run and play and is your typical sweet puppy, he is getting better on the house training, is a lively and very sweet little dog, just loves all of his play buddies and races around the yard playing tag.. he has a really nice personality and is going to be a good family dog, he will need some leash training.
Other Pets at Lexi's Angels
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Dilbert, a Norwalk Dachshund/Cocker Spaniel puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Dachshund/Cocker Spaniel for sale in Norwalk, or seeking a Dachshund/Cocker Spaniel puppy from a breeder in Norwalk.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Norwalk 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 Norwalk 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 Dachshund/Cocker Spaniel breeders who help with Dachshund/Cocker Spaniel rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Norwalk paves the way for another one to be saved.

Quoted from Ribbit Lasse, you're not alone ... Can you post your measurements and let us help figure you out?
Quoted from SandrAruba Up till now GTD is not really making me feel very good, but perhaps that's because it's working better and my body needs more adjusting (the headache I have really feels like a detox headache). So I am sticking with it. I should try at least three months before giving a conclusive answer.
Quoted from 11103 But then I realised that I know my Rh and that I can go step further and check the Advanced Calculator. Although the advanced calculator requires you to know wheather you are a secretor or non-secretor it appeared that (since I am Rh plus) it doesn't metter-I am The Warrior. When I was reading The Warrior type I couldn't relate to almost anything said for the type.
Quoted from 1415 Sept 9 2008Without having studied D'adamos deductions in detail, my first impression is that the whole thing might work in reverse of what he initially intends with this whole diet thing. I mean isn't it an assault on the "individualization" to reduce the entire human population to 6 genotypes? Of course we cannot fit into those boxes. I am sure he has found some useful metabolic processes linked to certain genes, and that it could improve the BTD to take them into account. But that is not the same, as grouping everybody into 6 genotypes. Well I am full of prejudice here I know that (everyone should be) and I will look forward to study it all in more detail... There is "food for thought" at least. No matter what blood- or geno-type you are, it might be good to digest it, I guess? bye bye
Quoted Text You can strength test either GT3 or GT4 at the back of the Genotype book
Quoted from 13155 Hello, I am very new at this. Genotype diet has been suggested for me by a little quiz I took on this site. I am an A Pos blood type. My basic genotype calculator came out Nomad when I did the strength testing. Then I looked at the Intermediate since I knew my blood type and it said 3 or 4. Which type should I go with, or are there suggestions as to how I figure that out?Thanks

TWO ISSUES: 1) I have been vermicomposting since last fall. It seems that I'm getting a lot of nice dark coloring in what I'm harvesting lately, but it seems like it's quite heavy material. It almost feels like a putty. There's nothing resembling what I hear castings look like. Is something wrong? 2) I bought one of those soil testing kits and tested the compost the other day. Ph was 6.5 - Phosphorous and Potassium were abundant - Nitrogen was deficient. I suppose there's a chance I did the test wrong, but it's pretty straightforward. I assumed that, if anything, it would have a high nitrogen content. Did that part of it leak out the tiny drainage holes in the bottom of my bin? Just some extra info: I usually apply fruit and vegetable scraps, chopped up relatively fine, spent coffee grounds, a little bit of grass or yard waste. And if I add bedding it's usually wet shredded newspaper. |
Follow-Up Postings:
for starters, home soil tests are a waste of your cash, real soil analysis requires exacting techniques in lab equipment, even home pH kits are just an approximation nothing wrong, sounds like you've got the right stuff, fresh from the bin it'll always be dense unless you haven't fed for months, and the nitrogen went into growing bacteria and then into humus ... be aware that worm castings are a soil conditioner, not a fertilizer, and like other composts will be low on the scale for all the major nutrients, but have a wide range of all the micro-nutrients, just like the food that supplied the feedstock Bill |
It sounds like the castings are just too wet. If you're using the Divide and Conquer method of harvesting, the castings will dry out a little bit as you remove the worm-less castings from the tarp/working cloth. It sounds like you have good compost there! I wouldn't worry too much, given what you've fed the worms--everything sounds very nice. in el cerrito |

Here is the picture of my Sprinkler's Pressure Vacuum Breaker. It is too tall and looks ugly. A plumber friend told me that he can fix it by cut it shorter. I have not used it since we moved in three years ago for some reasons. I believe he can do the work but not sure if there is any other thing to look at such as pressure and so on.
Thanks for any suggestion. -J |
Follow-Up Postings:
How high are the sprinkler lines relative to the vacuum breaker? Moving it down is simple. Cut both vertical lines, add couplings and cement team back together. |
The Sprinkler lines are under ground. I am concern about the pressure goes into the breaker and lines. My plumber forend might not be familiar with Sprinkler so do not want to make any mistake when we want to re-use it in the future. Thanks for the reply. -J |
"The Sprinkler lines are under ground. " How high are the underground lines relative to the vacuum breaker? Relative height matters. |
- Posted by lazypup (email@example.com) on Thu, Apr 14, 11 at 10:54
The vacuum breaker is required to be at an elevation that is higher then the highest sprinkler head on the system. If your property slopes you have to find the elevation of the highest sprinkler then the vacuum breaker has to be at an elevation at least 6' higher than the highest sprinkler head. |
6' some strange code thing? Watts/Febco both state 12" above piping and outlets in installation instructions. |
This is to reply to lazyouo regarding the height of the line. You said it should be at lease 6' higher than the highest sprinkler head. But my readings (i.e. http://www.irrigationrepair.com/pressure_vacuum_breaker_install_maintain_repair.html) says 12" is enough. I think this is one of the things I need to clarify before my plumber friend chop off the lines! -J |
I think he meant 6 inches. This site has all sorts of problems dealing with single and double apostrophes. |
Ok, cool. Do I need to do 'Winterize' before Winter after I cut the line? -J |
- Posted by lazypup (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Thu, Apr 14, 11 at 15:04
OOOOOOOOOPPPs. I had a typo, it should read 6", however many local codes do enhance that to 12". In regard to the question of pressure. Shortening the lines will have no effect on pressure. |
Thanks all! Last question - we have not used the sprinkler system in the past three years since we moved in. We will re-arrange the lines in the future. Anyway, if we shorten the lines and still do not use it this year, do we need to do any pressure type of work before the Winter? -J |
This thread came up while searching for PVB height questions, so I'll add mine here: Is there a limit to how high you can install the PVB valve, other than maybe having to support the piping by clamping it against the siding? Or maybe needing a ladder to test and drain it? We need to figure out the relative height of the end of our long driveway, and at the moment, I'm thinking we'll either have to give up running the sprinkler to the curb, go with a potentially quite high PVB, or figure out if we can squeeze an RPZ into a utility closet that's already quite crowded. |

Photographer: Brandon R. Aird, Federal Way
Photo taken: Nov. 20, from Mount Pilchuck fire lookout
Photographer's description: "The moon illuminates a cold night on Mount Pilchuck as the marine layer creeps up the valley floor near Granite Falls."
Expert says: "Beautifully eerie. The moonlit snow makes this photo stand out by creating contrast between light and dark in the night. The marine layer below the vantage point adds to the mysterious nature of the image. This photo is a great example of how shooting at different times of the day can create the unusual and unexpected."

Author: Tara Sivec
Series: Chocolate Lovers #1
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Rating: 5+ stars
~~~~~~~~~~Liner Notes~~~~~~~~~~
from Goodreads…
Claire is a twenty-something, single mom that grudgingly helps her best friend sell sex toys while she attempts to make enough money to start her own business to give her foul-mouthed, but extremely loveable (when he's asleep) toddler a better life.
When Carter, the one-night-stand from her past that changed her life forever, shows up in her hometown bar without any recollection of her besides her unique chocolate scent, Claire will make it a point that he remembers her this time.
With Carter's undisguised shock at suddenly finding out he has a four-year-old son and Claire's panic that her stretch marks and slim to none bedroom experience will send the man of her dreams heading for the hills, the pair will do whatever they can to get their happily ever after.
Warning: includes explicit sex, profanity and enough sarcasm to choke a horse.
~~~~~~~~~~My Scandalicious Opinion~~~~~~~~~~
Holy fucking shit. At 1% in, I was snorting, by 5% I'd snarfed some snot onto my Kindle. For the entire book I laughed so hard, my face hurt. My friend Ana, whom I was reading it with, laughed so hard she almost pushed out her tampon. No joke. It's that fucking funny. If you haven't noticed, I'm a lover of snark. Tara Sivec is full of snark…therefore I'm Tara Sivec's lover. Wait, that doesn't sound right – oh well, whatever. I love her and this book so hard.
Claire held on to her virginity for a long time. I get that, I did the same thing. I wasn't delusional, I wasn't holding out for love…I just didn't want to get stuck, pregnant, in my small fucking town for the rest of my fucking life. (phew, I might have some issues there I need to work on). Much like Claire, my virginity became a source of jokes and angst so…much like Claire, I gave it to a really cute guy just to get it over with. Much like Claire, I had trouble with his name the next morning because, much like Claire, I was shit fucking faced. This, luckily, is where the similarities end. I was not saddled with any sort of gift that keeps on giving after the deed was done. I totally dodged a bullet.
Carter, Claire's hot virginity taker is smitten with the foggy image of Claire and her chocolate scent pretty much from her first hello and movie quote. Too bad frat parties provide so much freaking free beer – he was even more shit faced than Claire! Poor bastard spent the next 5 years sniffing lotions like a pussy trying to find a piece of his mystery woman. Imagine his surprise when he finds her and some little guy is loving up on her. A little guy named Gavin who has Carter's eyes and the fucking mouth of a sailor on leave. (Do sailors really swear that much? Or, do they just have a bad rap? My FIL was an officer in the Navy and he swears like a mother fucker so maybe it's true…I, however have never been a sailor, nor have I had a sailor in me, so I don't have an explanation for my language.<actually, I do but that another post for another day!>)
I really don't want to give too much away but I will tell you…it references so many things I love, Tara Sivec might be the long lost sister I didn't know I have. I mean, Wizard of Oz, Pink Floyd, General fucking Hospital, The Breakfast Club, Tosh.0…Tosh.0 – I can't even type right now I'm laughing at the flashbacks! And Disney movies! Hello!! What is it with the Disney movies? Why do they always have to kill the mother? I have wondered this for years…why? What did a mother do to Walt Disney? And why does the girl always have to be rescued by the big, strong guy? Seriously? It really pisses me off…fucking Disney.
Ok, I'm going to give you some quotes…I'm not even going to tell you what they are talking about or who says them, these fucking quotes speak for themselves. If you can read these quotes and not piss yourself laughing well, I don't think I can be your friend anymore. Here goes:
"Exploding Vagina Syndrome"
"I will cut a bitch"
"my mom's not afraid to punch a kid"
"calm down Long Duk Dong"
"pussy punch: when a twat tap just isn't enough"
and my personal favorite…
"If I woke up this morning with my tits sewn to the curtains I wouldn't be this much in shock"
Please, I implore you to read this book. If you read it in public, people will look at you funny but you won't care…you'll be too busy clearing the mascara from your eyes and snot from your upper lip. Seduction and Snacks is a hysterical book about family, love, being young, stupid and finally being able to sort your shit out. The sex is so scandalicious…ummm, there's chocolate involved, need I say more? I thought not. The dialogue is so smart and witty and really honest. Painfully honest. I swear to you, she says aloud the very things many of us have running through our heads on an almost daily basis. Things we'd never have the balls to speak…well most of us at least, my filter is pretty much broken after 2 glasses of wine so don't go by me. Just read the book, come back here and tell me what you think. SofaKing funny. Book #2, Futures and Frosting is due out in October…will I be reading it, you ask? Does a one legged duck swim in a circle?

Fox River ® Women's Merino Wool Work Socks
Women's Fall / Winter Work Socks
These socks are great for fall, winter and early spring use. They are constructed of 55% merino wool, 43% nylon, 2% spandex for a soft, yet durable feel. Merino wool is unlike any other wool because it won't make your feet itch, but provides as much warmth on those cold days. Merino wool also does a great job of wicking perspiration away from your feet. The heel pocket and forefoot are designed to make sure that they don't slide down while working. The toe box is designed to reduce bunching. Just below the calf length. One pair. USA made. Specify color and women's shoe size: M (6 to 8-1/2) or L (9 to 12) from the selection box above. See drop down for colors and sizes currently availble.

Home to the University of Michigan ice hockey team, Yost Ice Arena is recognized as one of the premier college hockey venues in the nation and one of the toughest places for visiting teams to play. The building, which opened in 1923 as the nation's first field house and transitioned to an ice arena in 1973, is named in honor of Fielding H. Yost, Michigan's legendary football coach and Director of Athletics.
One thought on "Welcome"
I really enjoyed playing for Coach Berenson and his wife and teams with the Alumnic Band under the directiion of John Wilkens.
Best wishes,

Pure Maine Honey
I run 100 colonies of bees in and around the Brunswick/Augusta area of Maine.
The honey I produce is either single source (blueberry, buckwheat) or general "wildflower". Either way, it is great stuff and it sells out every season, so be sure to get yours in the fall – right after harvest.
Honey is a sweet fluid produced by honey bees (Apis m.), and derived from the nectar of flowers. According to the United States National Honey Board and various international food regulations, "honey stipulates a pure product that does not allow for the addition of any other substance…this includes, but is not limited to, water or other sweeteners".
Honey gets its sweetness from the monosaccharides fructose and glucose and has approximately the same relative sweetness as granulated sugar (97% of the sweetness of sucrose, a disaccharide) Honey has attractive chemical properties for baking, and a distinctive flavor which leads some people to prefer it over sugar and other sweeteners.

Editors' Top PicksSee All
Though cell phones for youth came into vogue two years ago, it wasn't long before they fell out of favor. While some parents liked the idea behind simple handsets such as the LG Migo and the
Though the FlyPhone offers "normal" cell phone features, you'll recognize right away that it's a handset for younger people. The overall shape and see-through plastic skin are reminiscent of the original Firefly and the glowPhone, while the blue color adds a fun element. At 4.2 inches by 1.7 inches by 0.63 inch and weighing 3.5 ounces, it's marginally bigger and heavier than its siblings but it remains compact and portable. It doesn't have the sturdiest feel in the hand--this is not a phone for rough play--but it should survive minimal bumps and bruises.
The display measures 1.4 inches (128x128 pixels). It's full color display with a pleasant resolution; graphics were relatively sharp and you can adjust the backlighting time and the brightness. The icon-based basic menus are easy to use and resemble many manufacturer interfaces. Below the display is the main navigation array that consists of two soft keys, a menu control and the Talk and End/power buttons. Though the controls are tactile, they're tiny and squashed together. They won't present a problem for little hands, but users with big paws will need to be dexterous. The soft keys can be set as shortcuts to two user-defined functions.
With no visible navigation toggle, you might be wondering just how you're supposed to scroll through the menus. The answer lies behind the unique "morphing" keypad. When you press the Menu button the backlighting on the numbered keys will disappear in favor of an OK button and four directional arrows. It's a similar arrangement to the Motorola Rokr E8 and it works well here. The toggle doesn't have any definition but it has a spacious layout and you get a tactile "push" feeling when you press a control. The keypad buttons are equally flush, but the large numbers and bright backlighting made them relatively easy to use. We suffered few mistakes when dialing a number or texting even though the phone's plastic skin is a tad slippery.

I put a bunch of lily scales and i guess small bulblets in a ziplock bag. i noticed one has sprouted a leaf. Im guessing I pot it up now? how big of a pot should i use ? .. I didnt want to have my grow lights going this early.can i get away with window light for a while ? any other suggestions on where to go from here Thanks ...kristen |
Follow-Up Postings:
At least the size of a nickel! 8) I'd use a pot big enough it doesn't need watering twice a day. Perhaps quart sized or so. That should make it a little less sensitive to the watering schedule. I assume you will put it outside in the spring? I'd put the ziplock bag in the fridge to slow the other bulbs down. You don't want them getting moldy either. Putting them in pot now would (IMO) help prevent mold. I've overwintered (dormant) Lilies in pots in the garage. Problem is they take off very early in the year since the garage isn't cold enough. |
