Capsicum Baccatum
Bulgarian Teardrop Little pumpkin shaped peppers, about an inch or so in diameter. When ripe they have the color of a carrot, and look nice in spaghetti sauce. On the mild side for a baccatum, maybe 20 or 25k Scovilles. Ripe ones have a sweet complex flavor. Not my favorite baccatum, but serviceable in the kitchen and looks nice in the garden, even early in the season. Thank you smokemaster2007 for the seeds. Thank you everyone who traded or gave me seeds. |

Peruvian Orange is also a similar type pepper-lots of orange,pumpkin shaped pods,another heavy producer. Both were pretty thick fleshed if I remember right. Glad they grew well for you. |

The flesh is pretty thick. There's no hollowness at all inside. It's all seeds and placenta, making it a bit more challenging to slice or de-seed. |

As we age, our bodies may no longer produce adequate digestive enzymes to process and digest the foods we eat. Vegetarian Enzyme Complex contains multiple enzymes to assist in the breakdown of food and assist in the utilization of nutrients, along with the intestinal flora benefits of probiotics.
Seven enzymes, extracted exclusively from vegetarian sources and produced as a result of fungal fermentation, provide a broad range of activity to help support digestion and nutrient absorption by helping the body process fats, proteins, carbohydrates and other difficult-to-digest foods:
Probiotics are of key importance in supporting upper and lower intestinal health by helping to promote the growth and balance of healthy intestinal flora. Vegetarian Enzyme Complex includes super-stable Lactospore, which supplies 200 million friendly probiotic cells per daily 6-tablet dose. Lactospore is a naturally microencapsulated sporiferous preparation of Lactobacillus sporogenes that is proven to deliver viable lactobacilli (friendly bacteria organisms) to the intestine. Lactospore is room-temperature stable and highly resistant to the action of heat, gastric acids and bile.
Additional digestive support is provided by Alfalfa leaf and Betaine HCl. Alfalfa is an excellent source of nutrients and provides alkalizing benefits, while Betaine HCI is a source of hydrochloric acid and helps digest tough, fibrous foods such as meat and poultry.
Supplement Facts:
Dicalcium phosphate, cellulose, stearic acid, croscarmellose sodium, silica.

This is yet another reason why we need to just abolish the Department of Homeland Security. Under both George W. Bush's and Barack Obama's watch, the DHS has not made us safer and has only destroyed our right to be left alone. It has spied on us, molested us in airports, and now it might want to shoot us.
Now, now. This is just another element in our Mombasa Miracle Mulatto Messiah's ingenious scheme to grow jobs in the private sector – the ammunition industry – while paying off his many campaign donors at Winchester and Remington and Smith & Wesson, who have been writing big checks to support his re-election.

Civil Claims for Crime Victims
If you have been the victim of a crime, you may have already spent a great deal of time and effort working with police and prosecutors to see that the perpetrator is prosecuted and brought to justice. This process is a crucial part of our criminal justice system's mission to protect the public.
Outside of the criminal justice system, the law provides that when people unfairly injure others, they have liability towards the victims. These actions are called torts, and a victim can pursue compensation through the civil justice system.
Similarly, third parties whose negligence has enabled the attack or offense can also be held liable. A property owner who fails to provide adequate external lighting or locks for a residence, or a business with inadequate security measures and unsecured lots may be responsible for offenses that occur in part because of their negligence.
The criminal justice system aims to bring criminals to justice, but in doing so, it takes great pains to protect the innocent from being falsely convicted. The level of proof needed to convict is therefore set extremely high in order to ensure that as often as possible, our society only sends actual criminals to prison. Unfortunately, the result is that sometimes there is inadequate proof to convict the criminal.
The civil court system is the place where victims of a crime can go after those responsible for their harm. The level of proof needed is not as high as in a criminal case, so the civil court system can often offer a victim some measure of justice in the form of monetary compensation. One high profile example is the 1997 civil action taken by the families of Ronald Goldman and Denise Brown against O.J. Simpson, who was previously acquitted of their murders in criminal court, but was held liable for those deaths by after a civil trial.

Blizzard DOTA Preview
We charge into battle with Blizzard's latest gem
What would you think of a game where your one goal would be to team up with your fellow players and rush an enemy base zerg-style? If that sounds like your kind of game, welcome to Blizzard: DoTA.
DoTA (or Defense of The Ancients) was originally a custom scenario made for Warcraft III, in which you chose a hero and defended a structure known as an Ancient in the middle of your base. Rather than worry about resource management or unit production as in a regular match, the AI would continuously spawn friendly units that would troop across the map towards your enemy's base. It was a game that quickly amassed a huge following, and even spawned professional tournaments and similar games such as League of Legends and Demigod. Blizzard quickly realized the pull of DoTA, and to the delight of fans announced Blizzard DoTA at last year's BlizzCon. This year at BlizzCon, Blizzard confirmed that development on the title was still underway, and allowed gamers to try their hand at a quick 5v5 match with some of Blizzard's most well known heroes.
I slid into my seat, donned my headset, nodded to my teammates, and dove into the game. We were given twelve heroes to choose from, divided into Tank, Siege, DPS, and Support categories, with three heroes in each. There are familiar faces from both the Warcraft and Starcraft universe, and I opted to play as a Support hero and chose Tassadar. As a support unit, he was able to cast a protective shield, throw up a temporary force wall, generate an electric storm to slow enemies, and create clones to distract units. Gameplay is very straightforward – AI controlled units rush towards the enemy base at the other corner of the map, attempting to destroy guard towers and other enemy units they come across. The more enemies and heroes you defeat, the more experience you gain, and as you level up you can unlock more powers or upgrade your current ones. If you die, you simply wait for 30 seconds and respawn at your base. You also have access to a little shop at your base that sells all kinds of trinkets and potions to aid you in battle. Everything from health potions to regeneration rings are available, and can be bought for gold earned through the game. The shop interface is simple and easy to navigate, with each item's benefits being clearly spelled out. Also scattered through the map are mercenary camps – capturing these camps will add new units to your army, so controlling these spots are crucial to winning the match. Your heroes also have access to their own unique mount to quickly rush back into battle – my 'mount' was a spherical vehicle that instantly dismissed when I began attacking.
While DoTA sounds like quite a casual game, the result is very different. The action is very hectic as the heroes move around the map, and you are always in a race to quickly level up your hero to turn the tide of battle. The variety of heroes available ensures that there's a character that appeals to everyone, and even favorites like Kerrigan are a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield. And while your AI units are more than capable of taking care of themselves, they become more effective when accompanied by a hero for extra firepower so they can press forward. The various defense towers of course take time to break through, but there's an innate feeling of satisfaction in watching an enemy tower crumble to the ground.
Graphically the game looks great – the heroes are all modeled well and the various special abilities are all animated well. Even with several heroes duking it out and units swarming the screen, the action never stuttered or got choppy, which is crucial when playing such a game, as even a second of delay or lag can result in you being wiped off the map. The in-game audio features a discrete soundtrack and plenty of character voice-overs, and a handy narrator occasionally quips in to update you on the status of your battle.
With Blizzard: DoTA being an official mod for Starcraft II, it will tap into Battle.net to connect players and match up both veteran and new DoTA players. It's an ambitious little project that Blizzard has been working on, and the results so far look very promising. Stay tuned for beta information, as this is one Blizzard game you want to get your claws on!

Earlier this year Hungarian Minister of Economy Gyorgy Matolcsy said $196 enough for living for a family.
Note: The next story is true. Names,place censored regarding the sensitiveness of the situation.
To be wile understandable I'm going to use USD as an example.
I happened to know a family which is in this situation. So instead of wasting time, let's Do the math.
Mother and son living together in a small village where unemployment is almost 100% no chance to find a job in the neighbouring cities.
The mother receives $95.45 financial aid from the government per month (similar to US foods stamp system). Her son is disabled, he gets $249.52 per month as disability pension but due to new austerity measures May was the last month when the government granted it. He can't work because of his illnesses, but if he'd be able just like his mom, he cannot due to the lack of jobs.
Now let's see: Total income per month: $345. Bills/overhead (electricity, water, waste, gas etc): $222. Medicines: $33. Remains: $90.
So $90 per month for living for two people: food, clothing, toiletries, cleaning supplies, travel to the hospital etc.. Actually what a household needs.. no extras, no entertainment nothing.
Now, I'm not a math genius but I know that this is not enough not for living but for nothing.
And this is a "good story" because they own a mortgage free family house. Lots of the families are indebted in Swiss Franc (CHF). Also if someone lives alone she receives only $95.45..
And this is reality. Hungary 2012, member of the European Union.
Now I'd like to ask to things from the government,from MoE Gyorgy Matolcsy and from you, dear reader:
1. How can you live from $209 or $95.45 in a month?
2. Let me ask you MoE Matolcsy to switch place with this family for a month and try to manage this situation..Because this family and hundreds of others can't…
PS: The mentioned family is real, these are factual numbers and statements. If anyone would like to contact them to continue this article from another angle, contact me.

Rick Ross has given his thoughts on the shootings which occurred in a cinema in Aurora, Colorado, last week…
In an interview on 106 KMEL, Rozay dubbed the killings "senseless," before speculating about the man accused of committing the shooting, James Holmes. The Teflon Don said that he thought Holmes was pretending to look more dazed in court than he actually was, in order to aid his defence case.
"You know, first and foremost, I send my condolences out to the family members of the victims. It's just so senseless," he said. "You think you're in the movie, and as I watched him sitting in the courtroom, now he dizzy. Now he dazed. With all the pictures of him and everything that was leading up to the event, he's smiling and this and that. Now you dazed. Don't be dazed now. We need you to be focused when this comes down on you, because that was senseless. It's unfortunate. Don't be blinkin' and all that. It could be one of his approaches to his defense, like he ain't know what was going on. But that ain't gon' help you on this one."

The Worst Hockey Cards of All-Time is a recurring feature at Houses of the Hockey. On occasion, we'll be highlighting some of the ugliest, funniest, and error-ridden cards both past and present. In this edition, we honour the awfulness of airbrushed hockey cards.
The practice of airbrushing hockey cards is a lost art form in the most nostalgic way. The blatant terribleness of some hockey cards from the airbrush era have made for some of the most memorable 2 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ flaps of cardboard ever printed. As an ode to some of our favourite bad hockey cards of all-time, and just in time for trade deadline season, we've taken the opportunity to create "cards" for players on the move using Photoshop. We could just wait to get a look at Alex Kovalev, Cory Stillman, and Brent Sopel in their new unis, but O-Pee-Chee would never stand for that so neither will Houses of the Hockey.
Sopel on the Habs is a classic hack job
Stillman going back to Carolina makes it easy
A familiar setting for Alex Kovalev
In another life, Scott Herkes was an excellent artist for O-Pee-Chee. Don't forget to check the Trade Tracker for the latest breaking trade news and %110 reliable rumours.
Although we consider ourselves a bunch of nostalgia crazy hockey geeks, and have all collected cards throughout the years, we're always looking for new cards to highlight. If you have a hockey card you'd like to see featured, just email us at email@example.com and we may post your submission.

Try this scenario out for size…
It was just about 8:00 pm Sunday evening. The Best Buy parking lot was still crowded, especially since many prospective shoppers lost over four hours of the day watching yet another Tim Tebow comeback against the Vikings. Since this is the third stop of the evening, your tired and cranky two year old daughter is not interested in yet another boring store. You and your wife start herding the kids towards the doors, and of course, your five year old boy almost darts in front of a speeding Subaru.
When you make it inside, the distracted greeter in a Santa hat offers a weak welcome, as your wife and daughter drift off to a display of digital TVs. Is it time to finally replace the old 31 inch Sanyo big screen tube that has given yeoman's service over the past ten years??? As you and your son follow, a prominently displayed CD set catches your eye- a digitally remastered collection of Nirvana's best live performances. Wow, what a flashback to being a high school punk back in 1992- Good times! As strains of Smells Like Teen Spirit flow through your head, you don't immediately notice the commotion by the front door, about 30 feet behind you.
A simple scream snaps you back to the present. Two men, wearing hoodies and surgical masks, are slowly moving through a small group of customers towards you and your family. They are brandishing a couple of Glocks, shouting that they are going to shot anybody in the back of the head who tries to run. Amid the screams and yells, you see your daughter is already upset from the sudden disturbance, and your son is running towards you crying "Daddy! Daddy!" One of the men heads towards the cashier area, grabbing a sobbing young college girl by the arm and telling her to open the register. The other is about fifteen feet from you, sending disapproving stares towards your family as the kids continue to cry. As you kneel down by your son, his body blocks the view of your front pocket, where your hand now rests upon the grip of a pre-lock S&W Model 60 containing five Cor-Bon .38 +P 110 gr JHPs. Thoughts are racing through your head- What should you do next???
The real life occurrence- 2 men rob Best Buy, threaten to shoot customers | 9news.com
Though my family has never been to this particular Best Buy, we could have easily been in that store if it happened more on the west side of metro Denver. I welcome you comments on what YOU would do in this scenario.

Riccardo Muti begins this season's journey through Tchaikovsky's symphonies with the powerfully dramatic Fourth. A brilliant symphony that will display the CSO's mastery of orchestral color, its third movement features an imaginative dialogue between pizzicato strings and sprightly woodwinds.
Tchaikovsky's symphonies are the epitome of Romantic expression but their creation did not come easily. Read more at Sounds & Stories.
La mer is all about color and texture. It's program music without a program — no heroes or warriors, no love interests, no redemption or narrative. There are no moral lessons to be drawn. Debussy needs none of that. Read more at Sounds & Stories.

Just bought a Focus CC-3 and I'm trying to get the phonebook to sync with the car. I have a HTC Desire and can get it to link to the car via bluetooth so I can make and receive calls, but it doesn't link my phonebook. Has anybody had issues with this or found out how to do it?
New to all of this so any advise would be greatly appreciated.

The Zeros eventually became a prominent contributor to a punk movement that also spawned Black Flag, the Dils and the Avengers. Lopez is proud of his band's place in the scene's history. "It was a great thing to be a part of as a kid," he says. "I mean, punk is still a big force today, but then it was so much more of an us-against-the-world thing, and you really felt like you were part of something. In retrospect, I'd say it was a pretty important part of time."
So smitten was Lopez by the musical environment in the City of Angels that he picked up his guitar and moved there permanently, thereby spelling the end of the Zeros. He subsequently joined Catholic Discipline, a group best known for its appearance in The Decline of Western Civilization, director Penelope Spheeris's acclaimed hardcore documentary, but he also became entrenched in the area's burgeoning art community. He sold Mexican folk pieces such as Day of the Dead masks and Semana Santa skeletons to art dealers in L.A., San Francisco and New York, eventually establishing contacts that helped him land a position as curator at La Luz de Jesus, a progressive gallery that catered to hip, up-and-coming artists such as Coop, Robert Williams and Gary Panter. La Luz de Jesus also featured conceptual exhibitions, one of which proved to be very inspirational for Lopez. "We put on an Elvis theme show, where we invited artists from all over the country to contribute a piece of artwork having to do with Elvis," he says. "And at the opening, we had an Elvis impersonator--and believe me, he wasn't the best. It got me to thinking, 'You know, I could do that.'"
This idea grew during the next several weeks, when Lopez says he was "immersed in Elvis-ness. We had his music playing 24 hours a day, and we were running two independent films about Elvis. At the time, I was already a big Elvis fan, so I knew that by the time the exhibition was over, I was either going to totally hate the guy or have him permanently burnt into my psyche."
The result of this experience was the birth of El Vez, whom Lopez decided to debut at "Weep Week," the annual Elvis vigil held in Memphis. "I just sort of dared myself to go there," he says. "I literally rewrote most of the songs on the plane. I figured if I was going to make a fool of myself, I might as well do it in Memphis, where nobody knows me. I guess the whole thing sort of backfired, though." He laughs. "Here I am, seven albums later, still stocking up on hair products."
Fortunately, Lopez has put the last decade to good use. His first two albums--I'm Not Hispanic, on the Munster imprint, and Fun in Espanol, put out by Sympathy for the Record Industry--are made up primarily of Elvis-oriented material, but since then, his musical vocabulary has expanded dramatically. On 1995's Merry Mex-mas, a Christmas disc, Lopez tackles Jose Feliciano, Public Image Ltd., Irving Berlin and Lalo Guerro, whom he describes as "the forefather of El Vez. He's this Chicano folksinger who lives in Palm Springs and tells all these famous stories from a Mexican point of view." (Guerro's "Poncho Claus," a warped retelling of "The Night Before Christmas," serves as Mex-mas's laugh-out-loud centerpiece.) El Vez's two most recent creations, Graciasland and GI Ay Ay Blues, are even broader in scope. The former features a Lopez original, "Cinco de Mayo," as well as references to Santana, Jimi Hendrix and even Adam Ant; the latter makes stabs at Ono-esque experimentalism, Dixieland jazz and "cholo rock opera."
El Vez's live shows have become more elaborate as well. In addition to the Elvettes and the Memphis Mariachis, the productions incorporate entertainingly gaudy smoke and light displays and a wide assortment of costumes that range from preacher's frocks to Lux Interior-esque latex slacks. In many ways, the revue resembles a miniature production in Las Vegas, a town Lopez would like to conquer.
"I've only played there once--I played at the Fiesta casino for Cinco de Mayo," he says. "It was fantastic. The show was in the parking lot, and it was packed. We had Mexican nationals, pierced kids, little old ladies from Ohio--and they all loved it. Las Vegas would be a great place to get the message out, because it's the place where you at least think about thinking, and everyone in the world goes there. So if I could land a show in Vegas, I could enlighten people all over the world and they wouldn't even know it. They'd just walk away filled with information, like my little pods--like Invasion of the Body Snatchers--and they could go back into the world entertained but also having learned something.
"Just imagine: El Vez with showgirls and a thousand white Chihuahuas. It could be Elvis and Siegfried and Roy all rolled into one."
A bit of a stretch? Not really. In many parts of the world, El Vez is nearly as well-known as his deceased alter ego. Fans in Spain desperate for a lock of his hair have attacked him, women in Oslo have offered him diamonds and gold jewelry, and many Los Angelenos regard him as a hometown hero. He drew a huge throng in L.A. for the kickoff of his gospel show, in which he was supported by a cast of 56, including an actor portraying John the Baptist and a thirty-piece choir. "I even walked on water," he notes. "It's a very special trick of mine."

I moved into a place that has some of the pretties purple gladiolus that I have ever seen. They are really really tall too. right now they are setting seed like there will be no tomorrow. the flower is a single and the color is more puple at the edge and is streaked with white on the inside.
Is there any way to know if these are viable? Other than putting them in the ground and seeing if any thing comes up? |
Follow-Up Postings:
TK, The viable seeds will be like hard chips. The thin easy to bend ones are no good. You will not get the same colors as your plants now. That doesn't mean the babies won't be pretty, just different. Remy |

Obama Sends 2015 Budget To Congress
President Barack Obama has unveiled a $3.9trn (£2.3trn) budget aimed at bolstering the economy, but the proposal drew immediate criticism from Republicans.
Mr Obama sent his blueprint for fiscal year 2015, which begins on October 1, to Capitol Hill on Tuesday, handing Democrats a playbook for their election-year themes of creating jobs and narrowing the income gap.
But with the entire House and one-third of the Senate facing re-election in November, campaign-year pressures all but ensure that few of the president's initiatives will go far.
Republican House Speaker John Boehner said: "The president has offered perhaps his most irresponsible budget yet.
"American families looking for jobs and opportunity will find only more government in this plan."
Mr Obama's proposal would funnel money into road building, education and other economy-boosting programmes.
It includes new spending for pre-school education and job training, expanded tax credits for 13.5 million low-income workers without children and more than $1trn (£600bn) in higher taxes over the next decade, mostly for the wealthiest Americans and corporations.
Mr Obama said: "As a country, we've got to make a decision if we're going to protect tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans or if we're going to make smart investments necessary to create jobs and grow our economy and expand opportunity for every American."
To help pay for his budget initiatives, Mr Obama envisions raising a "Buffett tax" - named for billionaire Warren Buffett - slapping minimum levies on the highest-earning people.
Taxes would also be raised on tobacco products, airline passengers and managers of private investment funds.
Congress previously has ignored those revenue proposals as well as many of Mr Obama's spending ideas.
Republican Representative Paul Ryan, the chairman of the House Budget Committee, said: "The president's budget is yet another disappointment because it reinforces the status quo.
"It would demand that families pay more so Washington can spend more."
The Republicans' recipe for accelerating economic growth includes cutting taxes or overhauling the entire tax code, and they criticise higher spending as wasteful.
Mr Obama's budget claims to obey overall agency spending limits that were enacted in December after a bipartisan compromise was reached between Mr Ryan and Democratic Senator Patty Murray.
But Mr Obama was proposing an additional package of $55bn (£33bn) in spending priorities, half for defence and half for domestic programmes.
The budget projects a 2015 deficit of $564bn (£338bn) and a shortfall this year of $649bn (£390bn).
If those figures hold true, it would mark three straight years of annual red ink under $1trn (£600bn), following four previous years when deficits exceeded that mark every time.
The president's spending plan also takes credit for reducing accumulated deficits over coming decade by $2.2trn (£1.3trn).
But nearly one-third of that comes from claimed savings from the end of the US war in Iraq and the gradual withdrawal of forces from Afghanistan.

KANPUR: Additional counters have been opened at the Reserve Bank of India to enable income tax payers to deposit tax. In order to avoid inconvenience due to large increase in number of tax payers at the eleventh hour, the RBI has requested to deposit income tax in advance before the last date.
Deputy general manager (banking) Rajeev Dwivedi said that the facility to deposit income tax by cash or cheque is also available at 145 branches of public sector banks, including SBI and at three branches of private banks in the city. The list of such branches has been displayed outside the RBI premises and at branches of other commercial banks.

My wife and I are in the process of redoing a small room into a room for our new baby. The room is 8x10 with 8 foot ceilings. Our house has forced air oil heat, but we heat primarily with wood. The problem is the babys room has no heat vent from the furnace and its to far away from the wood stove to get any sustanible heat. There almost no way to run duct work to it, and even if we did the furnace gets used maybe 10 times a winter. The room has 1 big south faceing window so it gets pretty warm in the first part of the day. Yet at night it freezes. Would a small electric baseboard heater heat this room cheaply? What size baseboard would you recommend? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by ryanhughes (My Page) on Mon, Apr 7, 08 at 22:45
It sounds like electric baseboard is the most feasible option in this scenario--not quite big enough for a mini-split. As far as sizing goes, I'm not sure. Perhaps someone else can fill you in on sizing. While electric baseboard isn't the cheapest method of heating, I don't think 1 baseboard will be overwhelming. |
Thats what i was thinking to. I cannot imagine the heater running more that a few hours aday at most. Onces the baby is older and the room doesn't need to be as warm it will probably never get used. |
- Posted by bus_driver (My Page) on Wed, Apr 9, 08 at 7:49
I suggest a 1000 watt baseboard heater. If possible, place it on the coldest wall. |

I have used an oil-filled electric heater that looks like a radiator in several houses over the past 10 years. (I have gone through 3, but only because I have moved a lot and some houses did not need one) It works fantastic, keeps the room a wonderful, consistent temperature, doesn't use much electricity and easily stores away in the summer. While you can turn them on and off during a day, they work very well and efficiently if left on all the time. It takes less energy to keep the oil heated than it does to turn the heater off and on a few times a day. I like my rooms very warm and as long as the room had one regular-sized interior door (the heater has heated the bedroom nicely even with the door 1/2 to 3/4 way open, but the more closed the space, the warmer it will be), I haven't needed to use the heater at more than 1/2 way to the highest setting. I live in Colorado, so our winters can be very cold (to give you a reference point for temperature). It also takes a little while to heat up, but once it is warm, the radiant heat seems to fill the room rather than one small area. This is my favorite type of heater I have ever used. |
Oceangirl, FYI, turning on and off does NOT reduce efficiency of an electric heater and, indeed, contrary to your opinion, would SAVE energy using a thermostat. However, I do agree that the oil-filled units are very nice. Mzellers, |
If you would like to know exactly what size heater you need and know a few details about the room's dimensions and insulation, I recommend using a Heat Load Calculator. The calculator will tell you exactly how many BTUs/Watts it will take to heat your child's room. If you do not know specifics about the insulation, I recommend underestimating. That way your calculation will allow for a heater that has plenty of power to heat the room and not too little. I have included a link to a real good Heat Load Calculator. I hope it helps. |

I've been dividing clumps of tubers for the past several days and I was wondering if anyone had any knowledge about what triggers dormant eyes to wake up? I know that if you replant an entire clump as one unit you will get quite a few stems coming up from the clump but I don't believe this represents every potential eye. So I'm wondering if the process of separating a clump into as many separate tubers as possible actually wakes more dormant eyes than you would get by keeping the clump as one unit. Any thoughts? - Steve |

Please check this post: http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/dahlia/msg0423094827223.html There is an excellent recommendation about waking up dormant eyes. Good luck. |

Kousa, I read the thread you linked to and I am already doing that. My question is regarding waking a whole clump vs. cutting a clump apart and waking the individual tubers. Can you trigger more eyes to wake by separating the tubers before breaking dormancy? My perception is that when you wake a whole clump only a limited number of eyes are activated. |
Your theory makes sense. However, I have little experience in this respect to offer any good observations. Perhaps you can experiment to see whether your results support your theory. It is impossible for me to store a whole dahlia root. I have to break them up into halves or quarters. What I found is the dahlia tubers with thick neck seem to have better probability of an eye/eyes than tubers with thin neck. |
Perhaps this will help answer the question: An old trick when digging dahlias is to cut off the dahlia stalks a week before you dig and divide the tuber clumps. The cutting of the stalk causes the eyes to swell and to be easily seen as you divide. You are just doing the same thing after the clump has been dug and stored for awhile. The act of storing whole dahlia clumps is fraught with danger as dahlias store better as tubers. The dahlia stalk quite often rots, and the rot continues to the tuber eyes. Removal of the tubers from the stalk does not expose the tubers to the rot from the stalk. If I were to compare the net tuber count from tuber clumps divided within a week or so from digging to those stored for a couple of months before dividing, I would estimate a loss of tubers of about 25%. Just a guess however. |

>> The act of storing whole dahlia clumps is fraught with >> danger as dahlias store better as tubers. Ted, Hmmm...that has not been my experience at all, quite the opposite. Personally I have found that the most foolproof way to store dahlias is to dig up the whole clump and store it in a 5 gallon bucket or large pot filled with damp garden soil. Sometimes I water and then drain the pots before storage if the soil is bone dry. I don't add any more water over winter and the soil gradually dries out by spring. The tubers almost always come out nice and firm. I'm trying the plastic wrap method this winter with part of my tubers and I've found some rot problems when I checked on them a couple times. I'm getting too many tubers to store in pots now so I need a less space intensive storage method. I'm also experimenting with leaving some in the ground with extra protection, we'll see how that turns out later. Ted, what storage method do you use? - Steve |

I have searched the Edge of the Empire forums and the X-Wing forums, and I haven't seen anything about this yet. I am a little surprised, as I thought (with both games being published by FFG) that this would be a more common topic of discussion:
Has anyone thought of incorporating the X-Wing ruleset into an Edge of the Empire campaign? I know that the stats would have to be tweaked to keep the players from being killed too easily, and it might be difficult to translate certain piloting abilities from EotE to X-Wing, but I'm curious if anyone else has put any thought into this. I have a decent collection of X-Wing miniatures, and absolutely love the rule system for it. I thought it might be cool to run sort of a rogue squadron type of campaign at some point (which is probably more appropriate for the "Age of Rebellion" rulebook).
It seems like it could be cool to merge the two systems for a campaign like that. Any ideas on how that might work?

I planted some marigolds that I grew from seed and they are scattered through the garden. They are about a foot tall and no sign of blooming. Any ideas why?
I'm going to post a few pics when I borrow a camera. Sadly, I left my camera in the garden and it got rained on... I'm new to sq ft and have been lurking about, love the site. Some success and some failures but I keep plucking away at it. Getting hot here in AL and some of my biggest mistakes were not understanding the new zone (I'm used to Zone 6). Any thoughts about what to plant now? thanks

bubbalove, I would plant a shade tree! |
I have shade (Thank God)maybe too much. I get a lot of afternoon sun. The non-blooming marigolds aren't really a prblem just a curious question. I wonder if they still help with insect control if they aren't blooming? |
Maybe too much nitrogen (for marigolds; probably fine for the vegetables)? Usually when you get a lot of leaves and not many flowers on otherwise healthy plants, that's the cause. Try planting some in pots in "regular" soil. They're not fussy and they should bloom. Same thing happens with Nasturtiums if you plant them in too fertile soil. |
Susan, Thanks. That may be the problem. I mix my own soil, heavy on the compost (Real compost, from my own pile. Last year) Maybe I should ad some phosphorous for blooming? I was thinking tomatoes aren't blooming as much as I would expect, that might be the problem. Also, potatoes which are growing well started 'laying over' after some heavy rains last week. They didn't pop back up so I trimmed and caged them... thanks Bubba |

Lake County Council frees up hiring constraints
By Carrie Napoleon Post-Tribune correspondent September 15, 2012 2:54PM
Updated: October 17, 2012 6:46AM
CROWN POINT — Department heads no longer have to come before the Lake County Council to fill vacancies within their ranks.
The Lake County Council approved two ordinances Tuesday that will make it possible for department heads to fill empty positions as long as the county does not owe the exiting employee benefits or other payments.
The move will allow Sheriff John Buncich to fill 11 vacancies at the Lake County Jail, including eight correction officers and one sergeant. It will also allow for a handful of other positions across departments including the courts and prosecutor's office.
"Giving officeholders opportunities to fill their positions in vital," said Councilman Michael Repay, D-Hammond.
However, the move does not address the 65 correctional officers the Department of Justice has mandated be hired for the jail, nor the 18 new correctional officers the sheriff requested as part of a compromise with the DOJ to reduce the overall number of correctional officers needed.
Officials took no action on the request to fund the 18 officer positions.
Councilman Rick Niemeyer, R-Lowell, said he needs more time to review the deal with the DOJ before signing off on it. He said the DOJ originally wanted the county to hire 18 new correctional officers this quarter in exchange for backing off its position that the county ultimately must hire 65. But he said it appears the county can do that hiring in 2013, instead.
Niemeyer said it is still possible the DOJ could require more officers.

Making Sense of Unemployment Numbers
May 07, 2010
With the announcement on Friday that the U.S. economy added 290,000 jobs in April--the biggest monthly gain in four years -- you'd think we'd be hearing champagne corks popping across the country.
Unfortunately that statistic was accompanied by another, less uplifting number. The unemployment rate rose from 9.7 percent to 9.9 percent.
What Gives?
The first number comes from the government's payroll survey, which asks employers how many people are working for them. The second number comes from the household survey, which asks adults whether they're employed and whether they're looking for work.
Understandably, after months of looking for jobs to no avail in a tough recession, some people just give up, and when they do, they're no longer counted among the unemployed. With the recent thawing in the economy, some of those folks who gave up are now hitting the pavement again in search of jobs. So actually the rise in unemployment signals a rise in hope, and that's a good thing.
But the big question is: when will that unemployment rate finally come down to a decent level of, say, 5 percent?
Not for years, according to a speech earlier this week by Federal Reserve Bank of Boston CEO Eric Rosengren, who told the Money Marketeers of New York University that even with fast economic growth--faster than we've seen in previous recoveries--unemployment won't reach 5 percent for at least a few years.
Investor's Business Daily offers readers this sober reminder Friday: just to keep unemployment steady, businesses must add 119,000 jobs a month to accommodate new job seekers, and the U.S. was down 8.2 million jobs at the end of 2009 from the start of the recession.
What does unemployment have to do with interest rates? A lot. Rosengren said low rates are still needed to encourage the economic recovery. Rosengren is a member of the Federal Open Market Committee, which sets the target for the federal funds rate. Banks then follow suit with the interest rates they offer consumers.
Bottom line: it'll be a while before you see much better rates on savings and money market accounts and CDs.

A journal entry by volunteer Priyanka Kripalani of Mumbai, India
Monday, Aug. 8, 2005
"Exhausting," "exciting" and "fun" are three words I can use to sum up my first day at the Habitat project for the 200,001st house dedication at Kanyakumari. The group seemed excited, and I was looking forward to doing some house building—but I did not imagine all the manual labor that actually went into the process!
We started our day at the site at 8 a.m. with a short dedication and prayer. Soon, I found myself with the five others in my group at the house that had been allocated to us. After conversing with the skilled masons, us being the unskilled ones, we began to transfer bricks. Our task for the day was to complete a certain portion of the wall. Some of the activities included shoving sand into containers and carrying them, forming chains to transfer bricks, cementing bricks, adding bricks onto the wall and moving tiles off a truck. The tasks I mention might not seem very difficult, but trust me: When I say "labor intensive," I mean it 100 percent.
Our teamwork was amazing, and we all strived toward the goal of working fast to finish as soon as possible. Shifting between tasks, we finished our long and tiring day at 3:30 p.m. Tired and extremely stinky, we boarded our bus to the hotel with only one thing in mind: a long shower!
The highlight for the evening was a folk dance by a local community dance troupe. It was very good and extremely professional, to say the least. I was very impressed with their coordination and balance in particular as one dance involved carrying pots on the dancers' heads throughout the performance.
After a delicious dinner, I crashed…. To prepare for another busy day.

Broiling vs Baking
Though, baking is a more popular option of preparing healthy food in an oven, broiling is another cooking method that utilizes dry heat without making use of a liquid medium such as oil full of fat. There are many similarities between these two cooking methods, though there are glaring differences that will be highlighted in this article.
The first and foremost difference in these two cooking methods that rely on dry heat pertains to the way this heat is utilized. While heat energy is provided to food item by surrounding it with hot air in case of baking, infrared radiation is the process that takes place in case of broiling to cook the food. Those who know about these two heat carrying processes know that infrared radiation has the capacity to char food items in close vicinity (this is good for meat items). On the other hand, heat in baking does not char the food, which is why it is better cooking method for cakes and breads that just need a little bit of browning.
So if you are baking biscuits or cakes, the idea is to provide dry, intense heat to the dough so that it sets and acquires a structure. When using baking settings of an oven, you are in a sense providing a temperature of around 350 degrees Fahrenheit with no or very little air movement inside the oven.
On the other hand, when you need to grill your steak but do not have a grill, you can use your oven on a broil setting that makes use of infrared radiation in such a way that you get a charred steak full of juices and flavors in a short time period. The broil setting in your oven turns on the top burners only while the meat resides just below these burners. Thus it is top down heat that cooks the meat from the top side. Once cooked from top, you need to change the position of the meat to cook it from other sides as well. It takes 2-3 minutes per side to cook this way and hence your steak should be ready within 10 minutes if you are adept at broiling in an oven. One must leave the door of the oven ajar while broiling is taking place.
In brief: Difference Between Broiling and Baking • Both baking and broiling provide dry heat to the food being cooked, • In baking, the heat is constant and without any movement of air; broiling provides heat as infrared radiation • Broiling has capacity to char food items in close vicinity, which is why it is ideal for steaks, while baking does not char and only brown items, which is why it is ideal for cakes and biscuits • Baking provides hot air from all sides, while in broiling, heat comes from the top only. |

How very good and pleasant it is when kindred live together in unity!
Don't be anxious about anything; rather, bring up all of your requests to God in your prayers and petitions, along with giving thanks. Then the peace of God that exceeds all understanding will keep your hearts and minds safe in Christ Jesus.

But forgiveness is with you - that's why you are honored. I hope, Lord. My whole being hopes, and I wait for God's promise. My whole being waits for my Lord - more than the night watch waits for morning; yes, more than the night watch waits for morning!
I'm reminded of your authentic faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice. I'm sure that this faith is also inside you. Because of this, I'm reminding you to revive God's gift that is in you through the laying on of my hands. God didn't give us a spirit that is timid but one that is powerful, loving and self-controlled.
I raise my eyes toward the mountains. Where will my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth. God won't let your foot slip. Your protector won't fall asleep on the job. No. Israel's protector never sleeps or rests!
In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple.

And they were calling to one another: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory." At the sound of their voices the door posts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke. "Woe to me!" I cried ...
Examine me, God! Look at my heart! Put me to the test! Know my anxious thoughts! Look to see if there is any idolatrous way in me, then lead me on the eternal path!

How can I describe the emotions of parents who love their children? We stamp a remarkable similarity in heart and in appearance on the character of small children. This is especially true of mothers, who have even more sympathy than fathers toward the feelings of their children because they gave birth to them in great pain.
When they got there, they found breakfast waiting for them - fish cooking over a charcoal fire, and some bread. "Bring some of the fish you've just caught," Jesus said.
