Me my brother and my 2 cousins were are our house at the time and we were told by my two aunts and uncle. Ever since then time has gone by so quickly.

I'm so sorry you lost your father. I don't know how old you are, but losing a parent is never easy, even for people who are grown up. I can tell you are a wise person. You are right to understand that you are still grieving, and will be for quite some time. It's a process that cannot be hurried. You are also right about the importance of talking about your Dad. Are your aunt and uncle around to talk to? How about a brother or sister, a friend? Schools usually have counselors who students can talk to. You'd have to ask your teacher about this. Your life will get better. Don't worry about whether your mom will remarry or not. Only time will tell, and it's too soon now. And be careful to choose good boyfriends so you don't have to worry about anyone defending you...ok? Take care, and if you want to tell us more about your father here, it's a good place to share. |
i'm 60, and lost my dad in 1977. i miss him everyday. the best way to keeping going is school. don't worry about dating just yet. i'm sure your dad would want you to take of yourself first, and in this day and age that's with a good education. as socks says...don't worry about mom. just let her know your're feeling a bit lost right now. and hey! never underestimate a mom's ability to take on any errant boyfriends! lol...(((hugs))) |

Rachel, Your Dad seems to have left you some magnificent legacies -- knowledge of the world and the various wonderful peoples in it, your larger family, the love he felt for you and your Mom, and I must suspect that some of the wisdom I read in your message comes from him. Time. Over time these things will happen: You will hear more stories about your Dad, and you will remember more details of the stories that you have already heard. You will begin to see just how much your Dad has left you -- qualities that you will recognize in yourself that come from him (curiosity about the world, a sense of adventure, appreciation of family) and things like that. Many more like that I could not possibly figure out from the few paragraphs that you have written, you will need to look for them. One day you will look in the mirror, smile a great big smile at yourself because you will see that your Dad is still alive in many ways, within you! And - if you have a spiritual nature, you can also know that when you speak to him now, he hears you always. His love is there, a part of you, always. You may never call anyone "Daddy" again -- you may find that you do not want to call any one else "Daddy", but your Dad will be a presence in your life for the rest of your life. (And, there will certainly be father-figures, mentors, perhaps someone in your Mom's life, perhaps a coach or professor or someone from whom you will get an experienced voice and perspective.) Having just lost my Mom, though, I know how hard it is not to have his physical presence there. Perhaps, though, these ideas can offer you some small comfort. Remember always that YOU know your Dad is proud of you, loves you, and wants the best for you and your happiness. Listen to that voice inside you -- you might find that it sounds an awful lot like him! :) |

School Bus Safety Urged As Arkansas Students Return
By Associated Press
The Arkansas Education Department is starting a program to urge motorists to be careful around school buses.
Classes resume this month across the state and the department is starting a campaign on Monday called, "Flashing Red, Kids Ahead."
The three-week campaign will emphasize that it is illegal for a driver to pass a stopped school buses whenever its red lights are flashing and students are loading or unloading.
Education Commissioner Tom Kimbrell says drivers have an obligation to know the law and a responsibility to drive safely when near students and school buses.
Arkansas has nearly 7,000 school buses that transport more than 250,000 students to and from school and school-related activities each school day.

Lake Odessa Drawdown Underway
Posted: 07/12/2012
The water level draw down at the Lake Odessa Complex, in Louisa County, is currently underway in an effort to expose mudflats that will rapidly vegetate with seed-producing moist-soil plants that will be re-flooded this fall providing excellent food and cover for migratory birds, primarily waterfowl.
Joint water level management of the complex, comprised of the 4,137-acre Odessa Wildlife Management Area managed by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, and the 2,600-acre Port Louisa National Wildlife Refuge managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, dates back to the 1950s and is aimed at providing high quality habitat for migratory birds.
Wetland and moist-soil plants established during the draw down help consolidate bottom sediments and when re-flooded, help to improve water clarity that would otherwise be poor due to re-suspension of sediment by wind, waves, and bottom-feeding fish like common carp.
This low water period benefits other important plants found throughout the complex such as Buttonbush, a wetland shrub that is heavily used by waterfowl.
This cycle also helps maintain the diversity of the floodplain forest in the Odessa Complex by allowing mast-producing species such as Oak, Hickory, and Pecan to survive and regenerate. Persistent high water levels favor the establishment of less desirable species such as Silver Maple, Cottonwood, and Willow that are of far less value to wildlife.
Water levels in the Odessa Complex are greatly influenced by the Mississippi River and annual plans for water level draw downs are often prevented or delayed by high river levels. Lowering water levels in the complex is especially critical following the major floods and high water events during recent years that have resulted in the loss of desirable trees and wetland plants throughout the complex.

AHMEDABAD: During the course of a major crackdown on agro commodity traders in Ahmedabad and Patan, Gujarat commercial tax officials have unveiled a multi-crore bogus billing racket. Officials have already found dubious transaction worth Rs 25 crore where the involved traders gave bogus bills to take credit of value added tax (Vat). Commercial tax officials had on Friday initiated a search operation on nine traders dealing in agro products like cotton and cumin in Ahmedabad, Patan and Mandal. tnnMore than 300 officials were pressed in for the operation which continued till late on Saturday.
Tax sleuths have already collected cheques worth Rs 2.27 crore from traders who have taken illegal credits. However, Vat officials believe the scam is much bigger and that the involved traders have taken tax credits worth more than Rs 50 crore.
"At many of the places we searched the business premises were in fact locked but in our records the place was throbbing with business activity. During investigation we found that many of these traders only exchanged bills to take illegally take tax credit. We have found names of 40 other traders who have been given such dubious bills," said a senior Gujarat commercial tax official.
Sources said that many of these traders were also involved in taking bogus export duty drawbacks using the same modus operandi.

I'm deciding between the SZ 736 tci and the Lieb 2062. I know this topic has been done to death, however I'm really not clear after hours scouring this site and talking to anyone (irl) who will provide an opinion. So I passed it to the KD and he prefers the SZ, but that's just due to familiarity. For me at this point it will come down to which will have the most seamless integration. I think the SZ can have a custom toe kick but the Lieb can't? I really want the fridge to disappear into the cabinetry and will happily choose whichever of the two does this best. Any insight welcome! Thanks! Amanda |

They will both disappear into the cabinetry. Either is a good choice. |

Go into houzz and type in +Liebherr +panel and you'll see what an integrated Liebherr can look like. I assume you can do the same with +Subzero +panel. |
I'm sure they both integrate equally as well, don't think you can go wrong with either. As for my eight month old Liebherr, I'll just say I love it! |
"I'm sure they both integrate equally as well" well, they don't ! You may find the Liebherr acceptable but it does not handle the toekick in front of it very well or at all in some cases. The freezer drawers on the Liebherr are no where nearly as big as a comparable SZ product. The shelving and plastic on the Liebherr is also a lot flimsier and cheap feeling than a SZ. Now, many people can live with the drawbacks because they are often cheaper than SubZero, but the quality is not as good, and that's reflected in the price. |
- Posted by athomesewing (My Page) on Sat, Oct 19, 13 at 2:12
in regards to Liebherr.... " they are...cheaper than SubZero, but the quality is not as good..." Lesser quality -- that was my opinion when I looked over both brands carefully. |
- Posted by rococogurl (My Page) on Sat, Oct 19, 13 at 8:27
A friend of mine purchased an integrated Liebherr and it looks spectacular. |
Okay - I think I'll go to the store to have one last look. I need to let the KD know on Tuesday. Stress!!!!!!! I had purchased the new 4 door samsung but the builder said no way. So here I am deciding between my two dream fridges!! Sjhoxkeyfan- I will put that search into houzz. Oh the hours I've spent on houzz since tearing my house down..... Xedos - the toe kick thing is a real sticking point. Looking at the panel instructions it does look like the SZ can have a custom toe kick while the Lieb can't (or at least not as fully hidden). I don't want to spend this kind of money to be disappointed upon installation. Amanda |
I'd be interested to hear what the toe kick issue is? Our Liebherr has a grille that sits back flush with the adjacent cabinet toe kick, and is barely noticeable. Integrated refrigerators need to ventilate somewhere, and isn't it either the toe kick or a grille above? As far as the shelves, mine are glass, adjustable, and fit very nicely into slots on the sides. The smaller freezer drawers were a plus for us, and actually helped make our decision on the Liebherr because we freeze very little food and have a garage refrigerator anyway. We looked at SZ, and preferred the Liebherr even before finding out it was about 2k less, so that was just a bonus. Good luck on your search, and as I said, I don't think you can go wrong with either, it's just a personal preference thing. |
ctydcm...i agree with you we also have the liebherr and we love it.... i am not endorsing either product...i think both are great, will just be your personal preference on linterior layout etc.... we have had it over 2 years and it is flawless and extremely quiet...fingers crossed!!! we chose this b/c it was cheaper than SZ and they have been in the business of refrigeration alot longer than SZ.. great reputation on durablity and longevity... so for us it was an easy decision...fingers crossed again!!! yes, we do have an freezer downstairs so for us its not an issue.. i also like having smaller freezer drawers, cuts down on "old " stuff and easier to find things...but to each his own as the saying goes...we put a cabinet over the frige so it looks even better IMHO... really, i don't think you can go wrong with either one, best of luck in your decision. :) |
The SZ 700 series vents at the bottom. It is totally integrated, including the toe kick. The panel on the bottom drawer is longer than the drawer and the vent is behind it with circulating air in front of it but not visible. The wood (or whatever) toe kick goes across the bottom, just like a cabinet. |
SZero fridges can have a solid 4" cabinet toekick in front of them regardless of the model or where they vent. It will remain in the same plane as the adjacent cabinetry toekick and it does not need any slots or grills cut into it. This is not possible with the Liebherrs unless they've got a new one I haven't seen yet. If the integrated detail makes a difference then the Liebherr is kinda out. If you don't really care and are just more interested in saving a few $$$ then Liebherr might just be for you. |
- Posted by kitchenkat (My Page) on Sun, Oct 20, 13 at 23:30
You can have a custom toekick made for the Liebherr from 1/8' or 1/4' cabinet matching paneling. Just have some horizontal slots cut into it that will equal the square inches of air flow as provided by the factory toe kick. I've seen this done in trade show displays and they look fine. Regarding the percieved quality differences between Sub Zero and Liebherr: I've owned both and can report that I am very pleased with the Liebherr French-door model I now have. It's quiet, extremely efficient, makes the best ice cubes of any refrigerator I have owned and (since nothing on it has brioken in the fiive years I'v had it) I'd say it is as well built as the Sub Zero it replaced. |
Have to agree with everything kitchenkat says, and the ice cubes are awesome! |
kat - " looks fine" (at a trade show no less) and totally integrated are two entirely different things !!! 1/8" and 1/4" toekick is what you get from retired, garage shop cabinet makers or the infamous "builder special" outfits. Fully integrated kitchens from Europe (where Liebherr is from ) all come with 1/2" or 5/8 thick toekick. Additionally - the fully integrated fridges from SZ, Miele, Gaggenau, Thermador, and Bosch do not require an installer or manuf. to cut in any slots into the toekick. Furthermore - the required sq. inches needed would require A LOT of slots , more like a hole. You'd then have to figure out a way to mask the exposed plywood, or particle board behind the finished surface after you cut your holes or slots or you're going to be able to raw wood in there. Very pretty ! And guess what - all this hooey only applies to one or two of their "fully integrated models" anyway. Because YOU CAN"T EVEN HAVE CABINET TOEKICK IN FRONT OF THE MOST POPULAR 36" MODEL !!!!!!!! Let me quote you right from the install manual on Liebherr's 36" model 2062 : "It is important to use the provided cover grille for I added the bold for emphasis to those just skimming this one. So, what do we have? Liebherr is a nice choice for a built in or integrated fridge for someone looking to get in the game but finding the established players a bit too rich for the pocketbook. BUT, if you really notice or appreciate details then Liebherr will probably disappoint you. Re: your "perceived quality" comment - there is no perception about it. Liebherr's materials are not as substantial as the big boys. I've been in the kitchen biz for 25 + years and our family has been in industrial manufacturing for a century - so I know a thing or two about raw and finished materials. Now, that doesn't make make Liebherr's stuff junk - far from it. But don't kid yourself by thinking you are getting the same quality for a lesser price because of some magic beans or offshore labor ! Or that the Liebherr suits are taking the bus instead of flying on private planes so they can "pass the savings on to you ". |
Thanks everyone! These were very helpful responses. I finally had to make a decision today. I went to the showroom again over the weekend and I had a question about the subzero. I didn't want to ask a salesman so I went to the website. They had changed the fridges since I had looked a day or two ago!!!!! I felt like the rug had been pulled out from beneath me! I had put so much research into the fridges and now I was going to have to start over. However, I liked the updates to the subzero and I really liked ithe fridge when I looked at the SZ & Lieb side by each. So, I've decided upon the new SZ IT 36CI (replacing the now discontinued 736TCI). Just an FYI, the Lieb is also updating their models but the new ones have yet to be released. I'm curious what changes they will make. In my wish list for the build I'm currently doing, all my tear sheets are of a Lieb so I really wanted to choose it. But the quality just seemed better on the SZ and I love the soft close drawers! Finally, the KD said it would look perfectly seemless and he's had great success with the SZ. He was reading over the installation guide for the new SZ and said they've made it even easier. So, I was forced to decide (I could have waffled forever but the KD needed a decision) and I'm really happy with my future fridge! Thanks again everyone!! |

Xedos, The unit I saw at the home show was a fully integrated installation in high-end custom cabinetry, exactly as it would be in a home kitchen. The wood toekick was installed in place of the factory one. The slots were cut in a uniform pattern and did not detract from the appearance. In fact, I also saw a Liebherr brochure which illustrates a 30" refrigeratior installation done the same way. The toekick obviously wasn't covered with a cabinet base. Since Liebherr made the installation rules, they wouldn't show a product in their brochure that couldn't be installed the same way in a home. If the installation hadn't looked professional, I wouldn't have posted my comment for the benefit of someone who may want to install a Liebherr with a cabinet matching toekick. Your 25 years in the kitchen business doesn't make your opinion of something you apparently haven't seen more valid than my opinion of something I have seen. As to your other comments, I think other Liebherr owners bought what they wanted for whatever features, etc that appealed to them, Once you are over about a $3,000 threshold for a refrigerator, saving a few dollars probably isn't an issue. |
- Posted by bakerboy63 (My Page) on Mon, Dec 23, 13 at 19:32
Xedos works for SZ, or one of its distributors. That to me is a testament of how good Leibherr's are, they need to have someone monitoring the boards to keep SZ in the mix. |
Ah that makes sense bakerboy, it's usually the case when someone jumps all over and bashes another company... tell Xedos that I chose a Bluestar over a Wolf if you want to see some flames fly ;) |
- Posted by bakerboy63 (My Page) on Tue, Dec 24, 13 at 9:41
Ctycdm, it's the holiday season, so I will be nice! :). Merry Xmas! |
Hey baker - xedos DOES NOT work for Sub Zero, Wolf , or any of it's supplies or subsidiaries. Never have, and never will. I do have several fridges from them as well as models from Monogram, and Gaggenau, and have have specified and installed everything under the sun including Liebherr, so I DO KNOW what I'm talking about. Kat et al - the model referenced in this tread is a 2062 and that model DOES NOT ALLOW a cabinet toekick to be installed in front of it in plane with adjacent cabinetry - all per Liebherr's installation specifications. Not my OPINION, but FACT ! I don't doubt you saw a Liebherr at a home show with a cabinet toekick in front of it. If you bothered to read AND comprehend my previous post, I told you that they do have two models that allow this detail ! They just are not the 2062. Of course you , and anyone else for that matter, are free to ignore manuf. install guidelines and install a product any way you chose. Hey cty - I'm not sure where you come off painting me as bashing Liebherr.. Did you not read : "Liebherr is a nice choice for a built in or...." - or - "that doesn't make make Liebherr's stuff junk - far from it." or have you simply chosen to further you own agenda or bash me ? oh , and bakerboy - you've made the list too ! Happy Festivus to all. |
- Posted by bakerboy63 (My Page) on Wed, Dec 25, 13 at 12:56
Well, I may be on your naughty list Xedos, but I was not on Santa's! Toe kick, schmoe kick... We get it! Stop shouting and enjoy the holidays. Merry Xmas to all. |
Who said anything about naughty OR Santa ? You guys project and infer waaaaay to much in addition to spreading false information. So stop whining when you get called out on your inaccuracies. |

Time picked Taslima Akhter's celebrated photograph "A Final Embrace" as one of the year's top 10 images and termed it as the "single most haunting photo" taken in 2013. She has spent months trying to learn the names of the victims in the picture. Sadly, Akhter has been unable to identify them. This week the Star sheds some light on the journey of a photographer and activist, who works more on the subaltern life of garment workers.
In a feature published in May last year, the Time magazine said that the image "A Final Embrace" captures Bangladesh's united grief of the Rana Plaza disaster in a single shot. No one knows who these two people are. The relation between them remains unidentified. Perhaps at the last minute of life they were trying to save each other in the deathtrap of Rana Plaza or maybe they were lovers united at last in death.
After the deadliest structural disaster at Savar on April 24 last year, like thousands of other volunteers, Taslima Akhter, a faculty member of Pathshala South Asian Media Academy, rushed to the site. She spent the entire day helping the rescuers working on the site, "At that time, my only intention was to help the rescuers. I was not ready to take photos."
When she reached the disaster site, Akhter saw residents and neighbours trying to move the debris and break walls, a feverish panic engulfing the atmosphere. After working the entire day, she was exhausted- mentally and physically. The frightened eyes of relatives of the victims, injured garment workers being rescued from the rubble and dead bodies – it was overwhelming. Around 2am, Akther decided to enter the destroyed building. When she walked in, she found numerous muddy dead bodies with flies hovering around, and an overpowering stench engulfing the whole area. She says, "I found a couple lying at the back of the building. They were embracing each other in the rubble. The lower parts of their bodies were stuck under the concrete. A drop of blood from the man's eye ran like a tear."
"I didn't want to use flash but I had no other option because it was totally dark under the debris," she says. Akther took a few snaps and came out of the building with a heavy heart. The image was decisively set in her mind and many questions surfaced – she wanted to know more about the couple's identity, their relationship, and the last thought or flicker of hope that may have lingered in their minds to survive the collapse. She tried her best to find out who these two people were and went around the country to find out, but in vain. That poignant moment that she captured reflects the very nature of humanity; in the worst possible times, a human being is wont to save themselves but the instinct is also to save others. The image will not be praised for its technological reproduction of reality but for its portrayal of one of the most beautiful elements of humanity.
Akhter was born in a very traditional family. Just like many women in her family and community, she faced the usual restrictions and prejudice. And the experience made her reconsider her life choices.
In her first year as a student of University of Dhaka, her friends were involved in a leftist organization. Gradually, she too got involved. "Before joining a political party, politics was a dirty game to me but I realised later on that in order to change a society, politics is a necessity and it is seriously not as bad as I had imagined." Maxim Gorky's book "Mother" influenced her politics. She became a member of the student organization in 1994, and later became the president of the Bangladesh student Federation of Dhaka University. She says, "While I was a student of photojournalism in Pathshala, every year I thought that I would quit photography because I believe activism, serving the society is my true calling. But at the end I could not quit just like that. Now I am involved with women and workers' associations. I believe photography is also a part of my activism and I also believe that there is no innocent and neutral position that any photographer or journalist or individual can take when they encounter injustice."
Akther devoted her photographic career investigating the life of workers who toil under dangerous conditions. Akhter had photographed four other fires in Bangladeshi garment factories in which scores of workers, mostly women, had died. She says, "I prefer that my photograph tap into the anthropological investigation rather than imagery confusion." Her inspiration has always been photography's ability to reduce social injustice and to championing the rights of workers. With her camera she tells stories the uncomfortable life of an impoverished worker or the solitary grief of a father who lost his daughter, standing still among the dead bodies in morgue. In each face can be seen the universal struggle for human dignity.
The Life and Practice of Lalon Shadhok
Many shadhoks (devotees) scattered throughout Kushtia, as well as in rural areas all over the country, have been practicing the philosophy of life and music of Lalon. This story explores the practice of Lalon's philosophy in the everyday life of the devotees and tries to capture the phenomenal role of the Baul shadhoks in carrying out the subaltern intellectual/cultural praxis of our nation.
Nandi Gram
Nandi gram is a village at West Bengal in India. This place has become very much important for West Bengal politics. In 2007 West Bengal governments plan was to expropriate 10,000 acres of land in Nandi gram for a special economic zone (SEZ) to be developed by the Indonesian-based Salim Group for the industrialization. In 2007, the people of Nandi gram protested this process and police attacked on them and killed many villagers and activists. But in the end, the people of Nandi Gram saved their land.
The Life and Struggle of Garment Workers (2008-2011)
Dreaming of living a better life, millions of villagers gather in workers' boarding houses in cities. Surrounding the garment industry a significant number of such boarding houses have come up in Bangladesh. The story portrays the contrast between the dream and reality of millions of workers especially the women in the garment industry.

I've got 3 four o'clocks blooming in 10" pots and I really need to plant them somewhere as they are drying out everyday and the leaves are wilting. I know that they are considered sun loving, but in the deep south of Florida the sun can tear anything up with a broad leaf. From what I'm reading they would do better with morning sun then afternoon. Does anyone here grow them and where did you find they did better? |

My mother in law grew them in New Orleans and they did take some shade. They reseed easily (and the seeds are very easy to collect), but plant where they won't be invading other plants. |
half and half shade and sun, in an open area just for them,,, they reseed and drop and u get more plants and the wind blows the seeds and if u pick the seeds u can share |

The area I had mine in had full sun in the morning until about noon, but no direct sun from then on and they did beautifully. Remember also, if they get too tall you can cut them back to a better height and they will fill in beautufilly. They're not kidding about the seeds. Here in Tennessee things are hilly... so I had trouble with the seeds rolling down hill and spreading into areas where I didn't want them. But they're easy enough to simply pull up and throw away, when they're first coming up. Each season I would find myself collecting seeds and would easily gather at least 3-4 cups worth to share or toss out the car window into vacant lots in the neighborhood. The scent was wonderful! I hope you enjoy yours as much as we did ours. We gave ours up this year in a redesign of our patio/deck area. I had a problem with aphids attacking one of my crape myrtles and thought that the four o'clocks were drawing them to the area or at least giving them a good home... so I decided to do away with them, for now. Good luck with them! |

Utah's red-rock country is like the earth turned inside out, molten and forbidding. On a hike with guide Grant Johnson through Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in southern Utah, I scramble over ancient logs and chunks of fallen sandstone under towering burnt-orange cliffs as if through the portals of hell. "Nobody goes where we're going," says Johnson, who's still a kid at 47, with a wild shock of blond hair. "The tourists hike the canyon bottoms, but the best stuff is on top."
Not that there are many tourists to begin with. Grand Staircase-Escalante was declared a national monument by President Clinton in 1996, one of 15 he established. At nearly 3,000 square miles, it's more than twice as big as Utah's five national parks combined, and it contains the same kind of unearthly red-rock formations that you'd find in Bryce and Zion, Arches and Canyonlands—just a whole lot more of them, and without the distraction of people. But Grand Staircase-Escalante is so off the map—and so new—that it can lay claim to only one marked trail.
Johnson and I hike up through millions of years of geological time to a high outcropping. The varnished cliffs of the Wingate formation loom behind us; in front, a madly colored panorama of badlands stretches toward the snowy Henry Mountains. The beauty of the place is overwhelming, indisputable—and strangely out of sync with the hostility the monument has engendered among the people who live and work in this area. The ranching communities here are devoutly Mormon and socially conservative, and Escalante's designation as a national monument—which affords it less protection from development than a national park—has inflamed age-old resentments about outsiders trying to tell them how to use the land. These bad feelings have almost guaranteed that the locals won't rush to accommodate tourists with new facilities—and that the visitor's experience, for better or worse, will remain elemental.
Until Clinton created the national monument (and he didn't dare set foot in Utah but announced it from the safety of the Grand Canyon), no one wanted this part of the West except the hardscrabble descendants of the pioneer Mormon families sent forth by Brigham Young in the 1870's. A maze of blistering rock riven with impenetrable canyons and blessed with a few heavenly green valleys, it was the last part of the United States to be mapped. Today, only 10,000 people live in Garfield and Kane counties, an area larger than Massachusetts.
When it comes to land-use issues, those people can be as intense and fiery as their surroundings. Johnson, who moved here from Wisconsin in his teens, remembers that back in the 1980's, local enemies of the environmental movement hanged him in effigy for helping to found a wilderness advocacy group. "I asked the sheriff why he didn't take it down. He said, 'Because I helped hang it up!'"
The federal government owns 91 percent of the land in Garfield and Kane counties; ranchers have always needed permits to graze their cattle. So have those who wanted to explore for oil or coal. Historically across the West, the Bureau of Land Management—which oversaw this acreage prior to 1996 and now runs the monument—has served the interests of ranchers and miners. In turn, they have come to regard public lands as their own backyards—and have abused them at times through practices like overgrazing.

Flexible Downsizing — Striking a Balance Between Cost and Workforce
During periods of economic instability, organizations have sought to control labor costs via workforce reductions. Those efforts have proven to be less than effective due to the costs of layoffs themselves and the inevitability of re-hiring and re-training. Alternative methods to decrease labor costs while maintaining the workforce during the periods of economic uncertainty must be examined in order to maintain long-term success. Increasingly, organizations have turned to flexible downsizing strategies to meet their needs, including such programs as reduced schedules, unpaid sabbaticals to furloughs. During this Webinar, we will discuss these growing trends and introduce innovative solutions designed to keep the viable workforce intact while controlling labor costs.
Attendees will:
Audience: HR generalists, Compensation and Benefits and Work-Life professionals involved in determining the appropriate strategic cuts to be made during a down economy. Operations and senior level professionals interested in learning strategic alternatives to cut labor costs within their workforce.

What do you get when you take an '01 Dodge Dakota, yank out the old yellowed headlights, and swap in some new, modern, one-piece halo headlights? Boom! A cool late-model look on an older truck. We contacted Stylin' Trucks for a set, and after a pretty simple install we suddenly had the look of an '08 Charger on the front of our '01 Dakota.
After seven years of road debris and atmospheric fallout, the stock eyeballs on our Dakota developed a bad case of cataracts. The old headlights were so yellowed and hazed over, even a solid attempt at polishing them out did no good. Our eye doctor, Stylin' Trucks, gave us a prescription for some pretty awesome one-piece headlights to cure our disease. After a quick phone call, we were on our way over to Industrial Motoring in Anaheim, California, to have our prescription filled and get a little outpatient surgery.
The lights we installed are fairly new and feature CCFL halo technology. CCFL is short for "cold-cathode fluorescent lamp" and it basically means neon tubes surround the lights. They're pretty bright, even in the daytime, and they really update the look of our truck.
What's In The Box?Once we opened the box, we knew we were in for something cool. The headlights have a full one-piece design with separate circular bulbs for high and low beams. Along the bottom of the front face is a row of five LEDs. These are the turn-indicator lights and are an amber color that matches the front and side marker lights. The coolest feature though is the "angel-eye" halo effect around the main headlights. The light from these is bright enough to use as daytime running lights. The headlight units are SAE and DOT certified and come fully wired for a true plug-and-play installation. In all, it only took us a couple of hours to pop these bad boys in the Dakota.

Profession: Contributor for a street-style blog, Style Informant, and works in retail.
Favorite film: The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. I enjoy how trippy it is, plays with reality.
Summer anthem: Peter, Bjorn and John's "Nothing to Worry About" and "Freedom," by George Michael.
Style inspirations/ icons: Kate Moss has a very heroin-chic, music-festival fun style. Yoko Ono is someone I admire. Also, Johnny Depp is inspiring, as he is very grungy yet somehow clean. His well-kept grungy look is cool for men.
Favorite accessory: A staple piece of my wardrobe, a black vest that is studded with pyramids. I get compliments on it all the time, but it's not real leather.
Favorite color: Purple, because it's a safe color for both men and women to wear, and I also like grapes.
Style mantra: How do I want people to view me?
Shops at: Thrift stores, Express, skate shops and Michael's.
"I like when people mess with accessories," Contreras says. "Their outfit may be bland, but their accessories could pop, be really cool and stand out." Today she rocks a silver band, a braided brown-leather strap, a saint bracelet and a beaded skull bracelet, as well as a music festival-inspired headband and animal-printed blouse.
The studded sandals complement the white leather studded purse that she carries today. Always on the go, Contreras usually has an umbrella and laptop with her, but not today.

A Blest Messiah Born (The Christmas Story Through Timeless Carols). Composed by Larry Shackley. For SATB choir, piano (with optional instrumental accompaniment). Cantatas. Christmas, Sacred. Choral octavo. Published by Lorenz Publishing Company (LO.65-2043L).
The Christmas season opens a portal in time through which words and melodies from many centuries flow into our busy modern lives. In "A Blest Messiah Born," Larry Shackley skillfully blends some of the most beloved ancient carols into a fresh, captivating retelling of the story of Jesus' birth. It begins with God's eternal plan of redemption, then starts the Christmas story with the Annunciation. Along the way, Larry presents delightful new settings of favorite carols such as "The Friendly Beasts;" "What Child is This?;" "Ding Dong! Merrily on High;" and "Good Christian Friends, Rejoice." "A Blest Messiah Born" contains rich moments of reflection as well as high-spirited rejoicing. It is enhanced by hints of Renaissance rhythms and melodies, and the lyrics of the carols flow together with the poetic narration to portray the events of the nativity story. The entire work lends itself to simple staging, adding characters in each number to build a living manger scene.

Do we really have to use that much sugar? FIVE cups?
will use unsweetened coconut since it is all I buy). Do have to use those bottled maraschino ? look like they have so much sugar etc? store had them on sale 2 for $5...... anyone make it? like it ? thanks jean |

Which recipe are you referring to? Carol |
- Posted by jeanwedding 6 ky (My Page) on Sat, Nov 5, 11 at 0:45
I typed in the Ball book but it did not show up in original post when I edited it..... Thanks jean |
I've never made it so I can't comment on the taste. This is a conserve - which is pretty much a jam with nuts added. To get a jam to set, you need the right ratio of acid, pectin and sugar. If you cut back on your sugar, you conserve may not set - and you will end up with pineapple, cocunut, cherries and almonds floating in a syrup. Some people use pomonas pectin or the ball low/no sugar pectin so they can reduce the sugar content in their jams. Since this recipe does not call for pectin at all, I don't know how you would adapt the recipe. I personally have made peace with the fact that jam is basically fruit and sugar, with equal or more sugar than fruit. The tips tell you that it is OK to use either sweetened or unsweetend coconut. So using the unsweetened is fine. Maraschino cherries are the typical cherries used in ambrosia, but substituting fresh cherries should be fine. |
Wife says she has made it and considers it more of a topping for desserts such as ice cream or pound cake. She says it is exceptionally sweet, so much so that she recalls that I didn't care for it but the grandkids loved it. I honestly can't recall it. As Pixie said if you reduce the sugar you may well end up with syrup since it is important to the set when no pectin is used. But clearly if all that sugar and the m. cherries sound too sweet for you then it would seem to be a recipe you'd want to just skip rather than try to modify. Dave |
- Posted by readinglady z8 OR (My Page) on Sat, Nov 5, 11 at 14:43
OK, now I've found the recipe. There's minimal natural pectin in that recipe, so I think as Dave said, without a lot of cooking, that probably never was meant to achieve a firm set. (Too bad the Ball book doesn't say that or list it as a "Topping" rather than a conserve.) Cutting the sugar would just exacerbate the problem. Normally I'm all for natural recipes without commercial pectin, but in this case I'd think the low-sugar/no-sugar pectin types would be perfect for this. Now that I think about it, it's possible this has some potential thickened with some ClearJel and processed as for pie filling. I wouldn't use it for pie filling but as a dessert topping or in kolachy or something. Carol |

In fact, as a result of their inherent vulnerability, children are disproportionately impacted by war, social unrest, disaster and economic crisis. Brett Nelson, MD, MPH, DTM&H, presently serves as the director of the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative's program on Children in Conflict and Crisis, which was established to specifically address the unmet needs of these hyper-vulnerable children by highlighting opportunities for improving the operational and policy response of service providers. Current projects include addressing child mental health issues in Iraq and raising awareness of the needs of children born of sexual violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Training front-line providers in critical newborn and maternal care
The most dangerous moments in life are those around the time of birth. Newborn and maternal mortality are among the leading burdens of disease in resource-limited settings. Meanwhile, effective and simple interventions are available to prevent the vast majority of these perinatal/peripartum deaths. Antenatal care, facility-based deliveries, management of maternal complications, neonatal resuscitation, etc., are all cost effective. Nevertheless, these efforts have had limited reach in resource-limited settings, where the interventions are most needed.
Over the last several years, Patricia Hibberd, MD, PhD; Archana Patel, MD; Brett Nelson, MD, MPH, DTM&H; Kristian Olson, MD, MPH, DTM&H; Jonathan Spector, MD, MPH; Thomas Burke, MD, FACEP, and others have been closely involved in building capacity among front-line birth attendants through training in many developing settings, including India, Liberia, Southern Sudan, Indonesia, Cambodia, Kenya, Zambia, Haiti and Ethiopia.
Partnering with communities to provide health care and local capacity building While country-level health and economic indicators may give the impression that the populace is healthy, a closer examination of the communities where Doctors for Global Health (DGH) work reveals many stark disparities:
- The majority of people in rural communities in El Salvador live in extreme poverty (less than $1/day);
- The indigenous residents of Chiapas are destitute in terms of access to the basic necessities of life (e.g. clean water, sanitation, sufficient food, suitable housing) and health care;
- Chiapas has the highest infant mortality rate of any Mexican state; and
- In Uganda, it is estimated that there are nearly 1 million children orphaned as a consequence of AIDS.
DGH was born in Estancia, El Salvador, with a mission "to promote health and other human rights with those most in need by accompanying communities, while educating and inspiring others to action." DGH currently has health, public health, community development, and local capacity-building projects in partnership with communities in El Salvador, Guatemala, Peru, Uganda, Burundi and Chiapas, Mexico. Jennifer Kasper, MD, MPH, has been an active board member since 1996; she is the current chair of the International Volunteer Committee.
An innovative pediatric educational initiative in Mbarara, Uganda Sub-Saharan Africa faces a most daunting challenge: it accounts for 25 percent of the global burden of disease but has only 3 percent of the world's health workers. Training and retention of professional health staff is a serious problem, and Uganda is no exception. The pediatric staff at Mbarara Rural Referral Hospital have asked Jennifer Kasper, MD, MPH; David Bangsberg, MD, MPH; and Vanessa Bradford Kerry, MD, MSc, to explore innovative educational initiatives for strengthening the foundational knowledge and diagnostic skills of the pediatric post-graduates.

The shifting demands of the department's operating environment require flexible staffing arrangements underpinned by sound management structures. We remained alert to the changing nature of the workplace through workforce planning, targeted recruitment programs and expanded training opportunities.
Our adaptable staff were deployed quickly to meet changing policy priorities and to respond to consular crises. In Lebanon in July–August 2006, we undertook the largest single evacuation of Australian citizens. We mobilised 449 staff in Canberra and overseas to deliver a whole of government response to this complex and dangerous crisis.
We responded promptly to other emergencies, including the air disaster in Yogyakarta in March 2007 that claimed 21 lives, including Australian officials.
The department undertook a significant recruitment program of generalist and specialist staff to support the delivery of outputs. The opportunity for overseas service and the diversity of the department's work helps us to attract and retain high-quality staff.
We concluded the department's Reconciliation Action Plan and finalised the Action Plan for Employing People with Disability. Both plans enhance the department's commitment to a workplace free of harassment and discrimination.
In Canberra, the department restructured its divisions. The new structure sharpens the focus on key policy, advocacy and service functions and is more closely aligned with the Government's foreign and trade policy priorities. The creation of the Australian Passport Office enhanced the department's capacity to better service its clients and to manage the growing complexity of passport operations.
We responded to emerging policy issues through the establishment of dedicated staff units, including the creation of a temporary Fiji task force (in response to the coup), and the Japan Free Trade Agreement Task Force to advance bilateral FTA negotiations.
We deployed additional staff to work on environment issues, in particular climate change.
An extensive review of the 1985 Prime Minister's Directive on Guidelines for the Management of the Australian Government Presence Overseas was undertaken by the department and other agencies. As a result, the Prime Minister issued a revised directive in February 2007 to reflect the reality of administering a modern overseas mission in a whole of government framework.
The department established a task force on cutting red tape. The task force has consulted widely and will provide recommendations that streamline administrative processes and diminish unnecessary burdens.
We revised departmental travel policy and harmonised domestic and international travel processes. The changes provide a more equitable and efficient system of managing departmental travel.
The department improved its financial management framework by reviewing its Finance Management Manual, enhancing forecasting and variance analysis, and improving the department's capital management governance systems. The ANAO's review of major government agencies control structures that underpin 2006–07 financial statements rated the department as having effective internal controls in place to ensure good financial management and a sound financial reporting framework.

SANGRUR: After losing three straight elections, allegedly due to family feud and separation for 11 long years, former Punjab minister Bhagwan Dass Arora's family has got together again, apparently due to state Congress chief Amarinder Singh playing the role of a mediator.
Both AICC member Aman Arora and his brother-in-law Rajinder Deepa finally buried the family feud and have decided to support each other, regardless of whoever gets the ticket. Both, however, remain aspirants for the ticket.
Ever since former minister Arora died in 2000, the family lost assembly elections for three consecutive terms from Sunam assembly constituency -- in 2000, 2002 and 2007 -- reportedly due to internal conflict. Insiders said the party high command had finally warned the family to either mend their ways or else lose ticket altogether. Five members of the family, including Arora, had contested elections at different times in the past, with four members on Congress ticket and one as a rebel.
Both Aman Arora and his brother-in-law (Jija) Rajinder Deepa, owing allegiance to PPCC president Amarinder Singh, had unsuccessfully contested the 2007 elections. Aman contested on party ticket, while Deepa, a former president of Panjab University's students union, had contested as rebel candidate.
"The family has suffered a lot due to family feud. But now, we have decided to put the past behind and work together again, as close family members, for the sake of party", said an elated Deepa. Reciprocating the sentiments, Aman put his arm around Deepa's shoulder, before saying, "We have decided to work jointly for the party and will address rallies together". Both said Amarinder Singh had played a pivotal role and now they will try to get the seat of Sunam for the party by working together tirelessly.
Bhagwan Dass Arora had won the election in 1992 and was elevated as minister in 1995 by then CM Harcharan Singh Brar. He again repeated victory in 1997, this time by defeating SAD secretary general Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa.
After Arora' demise, his wife Parmeshwari Devi had unsuccessfully contested the byelection in 2000, losing to Dhindsa's son Parminder Dhindsa. In 2002, Bhagwan Dass' daughter and Deepa's wife Sonia Deepa Arora had got the party ticket but lost to Parminder Dhindsa. Deepa had then accused Aman of opposing his sister.

The Ocoee Region Builders Association has asked the Bradley County Commission to grant a tax deferment for undeveloped lots.
ORBA president Lake Mantooth brought the association's request to the Commission during its work session Monday.
Before being divided into plats the land to be developed is usually in the greenbelt tax range.
"The tax increase of not being in the Greenbelt is a 700 percent increase," Mantooth said.
This increase comes when the land is platted, not when actual construction begins.
Annual taxes on undeveloped property are becoming prohibitive to development, according to builders.
"With no changes we may be looking at cutting the number of lots being developed this year because of tax liability," Mantooth said.
Fourth District Commissioner Jeff Yarber said he would like the Commission to consider what could be done.
The Commission will form an ad hoc committee to consider the issue, upon the recommendation of Commission Chairman Louie Alford. Alford said he would like three commissioners, Mantooth, the county assessor of property and the county attorney to serve on the committee. The commissioners to be appointed to the committee were not discussed.
Under the proposed deferment, the tax rate would not change from the greenbelt tax rate until the plats were sold. This new tax rate would then be paid by the buyer.
Fourth District Commissioner Charlotte Peak-Jones, former president of ORBA, said one local builder will plan how many lots he develops based on whether the deferment is granted.
"He can develop up to 50 at this point, but is only considering 30 because as soon as he goes to plat — not when it's sold or not when we begin development ... we immediately start paying a new tax on those lots," Jones said.
Mantooth said he felt the deferment could be granted without creating more work for county administrators.
Builders emphasized the investments they make in the community. To develop the first phase of a subdivision, Mantooth invested $785,00 to develop 45 lots. Builders also invest in developing infrastructure and providing jobs in the community by hiring subcontractors.
Jones emphasized local developers invest the money for infrastructure, such as utilities, without any investment by the county or city. After the development is complete, it is turned over to the city or the county.
"So they benefit from all the customers in that subdivision, and they benefit from everything we put into it," Jones said.
As the county continues to grow, there will also be a growing need for new houses, Jones said.
"Builders are hesitating," Jones said. "There hasn't been a new development in Bradley County in two or three years."
A similar limited deferment was granted in the past to nonprofit Habitat for Humanity. That deferment was limited to only apply for 18 months for undeveloped land.
Bradley County Assessor of Property Stanley Thompson said he had discussions in the past with ORBA members about what could be done.
Third District Commissioner Jeff Morelock asked if this was something which needs to be addressed at a state level. Thompson said yes.
"We've been told it's not a state issue," Mantooth said.
Discussions with those at the state level have suggested that a county could develop a pilot program to address this, according to Mantooth. The issue has been on the legislative agenda in the past, but has always been delayed until the next session.
Mantooth said in this economy taxes are a big consideration.

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 Brudor!
Facts about Brudor
- Breed: Beagle
- Color: Tricolor (Tan/Brown & Black & White)
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
- ID#: W-Brudor
Brudor's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, in need of an experienced adopter, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
"Brudor" meaning "Brother" in German, is a great name for this fella. He is a typical beagle with a great attitude. His former owner took him to a shelter simply because he grew to be larger than they expected. Poor guy! He is quite large as far as beagles go, measuring about 18" from his shoulder to the ground. He is a gorgeous boy who gets along very well with other dogs....but NO cats allowed! Brudor will steal your heart when you meet him. He just needs somebody to love him for who he is! Don't we all?
Brudor is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations..not to mention he is a picture of health! His adoption fee is $200.
Other Pets at Cascade Beagle Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Brudor, a Portland Beagle dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Beagle for sale in Portland, or seeking a Beagle dog from a breeder in Portland.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Portland 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 Portland 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 Beagle breeders who help with Beagle rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Portland paves the way for another one to be saved.

Ramone's Rant: The Grammys
It shouldn't surprise anyone that the Grammys is a freaking joke. They clearly reward artists who are popular, instead of the ones who are actually good and talented. An artist could release the greatest record ever recorded, but if it wasn't played on the radio or sell over 50,000 units, than they couldn't give a sh*t

Threats of legal action forced officials in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. to remove a nativity scene and a menorah from a courthouse lawn.
The American Civil Liberties Union and Americans United for Separation of Church and State said putting religious symbols on government property is an endorsement of religion.
Lucerne County commissioners said they can't afford a legal fight, so they took the displays down.
"I don't think this was just about the county avoiding legal fees," said Richard Katskee, an attorney with Americans United.
"When government decides to do the right thing and recognize that there are people of a lot of different faiths in the community and that it should respect them, that's the government doing its job," he added. "That's deserving of praise and it seems like that is the case here."
However, one day after the displays were removed County Commissioner Stephen A. Urban said they should have stayed, the Citizens Voice reported.
"I believe that this should've been litigated," Urban said. "I think the people of this county are outraged and rightfully so."
Sharon Leahey,60, runs a business in Luzerne Borough.
"I'm appalled and upset," Leahey told Citizens Voice. "Immediately, everybody caves in. I want something done. This is ridiculous. There is so much corruption you think someone would finally stand up and do the right thing."
The displays were owned by the county and have been placed on the property for decades.

The next iPhone could be one of the most essential devices in the history of Cupertino brands. There is whole lot of density piled on the next iPhone with simple updates to previous models like 5S and 5S. But the biggest question in everyone's mind is that When Is the Next iPhone Coming Out? Apple fans are counting days and is tremendously enthusiast about when is the next iPhone coming out.
When Is the Next iPhone Coming Out
Most of the people might have anticipated the iPhone 6 to have unveiled in 2013, but as per the history of iPhone, right from the 3G ahead, there has all the time been a half step S model prior to the preceding numbered iPhone, people were not ever going to get iPhone 6 up until 2014. According to traditional, the internet is packed with speculations, iPhone 6 release date rumors, reports and downright lies over this upcoming model, which is why we devote our time searching through each piece of report, pronouncing its facts and curating it into this simple-to-read hub for all objects iPhone 6. iPhone is likely to release in 2014, though accurately when is the next iPhone coming out in 2014 is still a bit uncertain.
As per some rumors, of the various iPhone 6 prototypes made by Apple, one includes a huge Retina + Sharp IGZO display, gesture control, and new form factor with possibly no home button. It is perhaps going to have Apple's new Touch ID finger print tech. the Retina + IGZO display is likely to include a 1080p full HD resolution. It has also been extensively described that Apple could present two handset sizes as it pursues to contest with the surplus of Android devices available currently in the market with both being greatly thinner because of massive advancements in LED backlight technology to decrease the width.
It is reckoned that there are likely to be two screen resolutions and sizes as stated before. A Full HD display creates flawless logic for the next iPhone particularly if it grows to 4.7 inch screen as proposed. Actually the 4.7 inch next iPhone has been sloped again together with a larger 5.7 inch model as portion of Apple's dual dose on the market succeeding the 5c and 5s. as per the same report, it has been claimed that the next iPhone (in both sizes) is going to take designs clues fromthe seventh generation iPad Nano which released in 2012 and iPhone 5c.

Sorry if this question has been answered before - I couldn't find anything.
I put rowcovers over my fall planted raised bed of carrots (napoli hybrid) for the 1st time this year. I last picked them on thanksgiving. They were still pretty small (see blog post for pics) so I left most of them in. However as soon as it got into the lower 20's at night, everything under the agribon died. Now of course the ground is frozen hard since we've been having such cold weather, so I'm wondering - are my carrots total goners? Or as soon as it warms up, can I dig them up and still eat them? I have the same problem with turnips too. |
Here is a link that might be useful: carrot blog post
Follow-Up Postings:
Nut sure about turnips as I haven't grown them, but yes, the carrots are mush, or will be when the ground thaws. They don't tolerate freezing soil in my experience. |
The parsnips get better after the soil thaws (here, the soil is frozen from Dec. 15 to Feb. 15). I only have experience with carrots under hoophouses, where the soil never freezes for long (one sunny day and it unfreezes). In that case, my carrots have survived several freezes while keeping good quality. No experience with turnips, but maybe they are more parsnip-like. |
I thought my carrots would be compost after we had a rather (for us) prolonged deep freeze. The ground in the yard was frozen solid, but I had about a foot of straw on the carrots and they came through just fine. We pulled about 6 today and they look and taste great. |

Turnips are much more susceptible to freezing than carrots. In the final analysis tho, you will not know until you try. |
OK well I guess I'll just have to bundle up and get out there to dig them up. I think we're supposed to have a couple days in the 40's towards the end of this week so I'll try then. Here's hoping! |
- Posted by cyrus_gardner 8 (My Page) on Mon, Jan 11, 10 at 20:34
I know the answer to radishes/ turnips first hand; They may survive dwn to 20sF or so but will be perishe beyond that(in teens). I have some that are frozen right now. We had freez down to 15F for several nighs in the past week. Carrost will become soft and mushi, like potatoes, I think. My radishe lasted all winter last year but not this year. |
Great news - my carrots are fine! I pulled them all up today (in only a sweatshirt, no less - it really got warm outside!) They taste just as good as they did in the summer. I think the plants were actually still alive - although the green tops were damaged, today they definitely perked up and parts were bushy and green. The turnips I'm still not so sure about - they seem just a tiny bit softer than usual. I'm still going to try cooking them and see how they taste. Next year I'm going to add another layer of poly on top of the agribon and I think I'll be good to go. |
Carrots are great here in Z-7 winters and I'll just toss an old blanket over them when temps hit the lower 20s or lower and uncover during the warmth of the sunny days. Turnips are best picked beforehand and stored in the fridge. They will get frozen since they tend to sit on top of the soil, not good. Carrots will be picked as needed until mid-Feb, leave a few carrots to bloom next spring as they will attract beneficial insects. Turnips will do the same if they survive the cold. |
I pile hay on the turnips and carrots and after temps below 5 degrees they're just fine. But radishes have way too much water in them. I pull the big Asian radishes in the fall. |
- Posted by cmpman1974 Zone 6 MI (My Page) on Sun, Jan 24, 10 at 10:58
Carrots are done here in MI after freezes. |
Well, I just checked my carrots that were in frozen ground for about 3 weeks and they are fine. Very surprising. Luke |
Once the ground freezes around here your done. Only mush left in the spring. Only made that mistake twice. This year(lazy) once many years ago. Normally i just cover with 12" leaves and I'm good to go. One year in January it was zero degrees out with a foot of snow. Carrots were fine, in fact there was some type of grubs still alive. Today, took some soil out of my coldframe to start some spinach and low a behold a slug hitched a ride! Can't believe it. |
