Please take a look, and let me know if these watermelons are ready for harvest... I've gotten so many contradictory methods that now I'm confused (not that that's hard to do). |

Follow-Up Postings:
Hard to tell. Have they been in the ground 3 months? I believe the maturity date is about 90 days from setting out. Any roadside stands selling watermelons in your area? If you have one you can spare just try it. If you're not sure, wait 2 weeks. Just my opinion. |
Best 3 indicators I know of: 1) Brown stem. The stem going into the watermelon itself starts turning brown. Not the ones next to it, the actual stem itself. 2) Yellow belly. Pick it up and look at the bottom part that touches the ground. Has it turned yellow? 3) Matte finish. This one is harder to learn to spot, the fastest way to tell at a glance. While growing, watermelon tend to have a certain almost satin finish to the melons. When they're ripe, the satin finish turns more matte. This one is one you just have to see for yourself over time though. No single indicator is 100%, but the more of them you see, the more assured you can be. |
Keep an eye on the tendril the little curley stem that sticks out across from where the watermelon stem joins the vine. Once it dies wait five days and you can pull the melon and any other melon in the patch that has a dead tendril. If you do not wait the five days when the first tendril dies you will pull some half green melons. I grow 15 acres a year and that is how we pull every melon in the patch. |

We had beautiful 5 inch mahogoany flooring installed throughout our main floor. We didn't want a real shiny look, so we chose a satin, non-slip finish. After living with it for 3 months now, I'm still disappointed in the finish. It always looks dull, flat, and dusty within a short time after cleaning (with Bona products). There's no sheen to it at all. Is there anything that can be done (short of refinishing) to bring out some shine at this stage? |

You can remove all the home's furniture and screen and recoat with a higher gloss product, but the dust, dirt, and footprints will be even more evident on a higher gloss finish. Especially on a dark floor, which is the real culprit here. |

Ombre Hair for the Already-Blonde
Photo: nymag.com
You can let your roots grow out several inches, about down to your ears, and focus all future highlights on the lower half of your hair. (But never place bleach on already-lightened areas.)
Alternately, try a less-extreme-highlight diet: Space your color treatments further apart, and do just a few tiny streaks near the roots each time to connect the regrowth to the blonder areas below.
Either way it's worth it in the end: Ombre haircolor is easier on most skin tones than bright blonde, it looks super-cool and mysterious, and could not be easier to maintain.

Who is Jesus?
Who is Jesus Christ? That is the most important question that has been asked in the history of the world.Jesus was born roughly 2,000 years ago. He lived in a small rural town. He was raised by a young mother who was likely a teenager at his birth. His father was a peasant carpenter. Additionally, Jesus had brothers and sisters. For the first 30 years of his life, he lived in relative obscurity, swinging a hammer with his father.
"There is no one who has transformed the world like Jesus Christ."
Around the age of 30, he began his public ministry: preaching, teaching, healing. His resume is rather simple. He never traveled more than a few hundred miles from home. He never married, he never had children. Additionally, his life was lived in a very simple way, so much so that many of his years were spent homeless as he was working for the cause of God the Father.
Yet, what we find today is that Jesus Christ is the most significant person who has ever lived in the history of the world. More songs have been sung to him, more paintings painted of him, and more books written regarding him than anyone who has ever lived in the history of the world. And on this day, Easter Sunday, a few billion people on the earth are gathering together as we are to worship him as Lord, God, Savior, Christ, and King.
There is no one who has transformed the world like Jesus Christ.
So much has been said about Jesus that today I would like you to hear directly from him. And rather than all that could be said about him, we will attune our ear to listen to him. And it is my great privilege and honor on behalf of the people of Mars Hill Church to share with you eight things that Jesus Christ said about himself—unparalleled, unprecedented claims.
1. Jesus Said He Came Down from Heaven
"For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me."
They said, "Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he now say, 'I have come down from heaven'?" John 6:38, 42
Jesus is telling us that he existed before his entrance into human history in the womb of his mother, Mary. He is telling us that he existed in eternity past in heaven as God without beginning or end. Those who were present and heard this staggering claim from Jesus were altogether stunned and they rightly inquired, "Is this not Joseph's son? Is this not the man with whom we were friends as he grew up? Did we not see him go from infancy to adulthood? How could this man claim to have come down from heaven?"
Jesus is God from heaven come into human history on a rescue mission for us. And friends, it is very important for us to remember that Jesus is not a man who became God. The first lie in the history of the world is that you and I can become God or part of the divine. And that is a lie. The truth is not that we become gods. The truth is that God became one of us, that God humbled himself and came on a rescue mission to seek, to serve, to save those who have sinned. Jesus came down from heaven.
2. Jesus Said He Is More Than Just a Good Man
As he [Jesus] was setting out on his journey, a man ran up and knelt before him and asked him, "Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?" And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone." Mark 10:17–18
Dear friends, there are some of you who are here today and you are making the same tragic error as that man. You would say that Jesus is a good man, but you would deny that he is the God-man. You would want him to simply be a miracle worker, a teacher, a servant, one who is friendly toward the poor or generous toward the suffering. Jesus was and is, in fact, those things. But he is so much more.
Some of you will want to reduce Jesus to just a good man. Jesus is in a category altogether unto himself. He is not just a good man. He is the God-man. And when this man approaches Jesus and says, "Good Teacher," Jesus says, "Do not call me good." He eliminates for us that possibility. He says, "Do not call me a good man. I am the God-man. There is no one who is good." We are all sinners. And none of us can say that we have lived the life that God intended for us. Jesus alone is without sin. Jesus alone is God. Jesus alone is good. And dear friends, you cannot reduce him merely to a good teacher. With his own words, Jesus eliminated that possibility. You must receive him for who he truly is, not who you would say that he should be.
3. Jesus Performs Miracles
"Do you say of him whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God'? If I am not doing the works of my Father, then do not believe me; but if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works." … And again they sought to arrest him, but he escaped their hands. John 10:36–39
Jesus did feed the hungry, he did heal the sick. In his presence, the blind could see. Those who were lame could leap for joy. Those who had been mute could sing the praises of God. Jesus was and is a miracle worker.
And when they came to Jesus, Jesus continually, repeatedly, emphatically, and unapologetically said, "I am God." He says it right here declaring himself to be the Son of God, to be the same as God the Father, to be God who has become a man. And they accused him of blasphemy. And Jesus here is declaring himself to be God, but he's not a liar, he's a truth teller. And Jesus says to them and he says to you, "If you do not believe my words, look at my works. Look at the power of God, the miraculous, saving, healing, changing, transforming, history-altering, life-changing, sickness-healing, dead-rising power that comes with me."
Friends, Jesus still works miracles. I have seen him heal those who were sick. I have seen him change lives that are destroyed. I have seen addicts liberated from the worship of false gods and substances. I have seen those on their deathbed get up and walk home singing the praises of Jesus Christ. He tells us that not only should we believe his words, but we should witness his works. And friends, today, you will see his miraculous, life-changing, earth-shattering, history-altering power and he will save some of you, he will change some of you, he will redeem some of you.
4. Jesus Said He Is Sinless
"Which one of you convicts me of sin? I tell you the truth, why do you not believe me?" John 8:46
Jesus said that he is sinless. He says it openly. He says it publicly. He says it clearly. He says it plainly. He says it truthfully. Friends, this claim is without peer.
I will tell you today, Mark Driscoll is a sinner. I have sin in my past, I have sin in my present, and I have sin in my future that I have not yet gotten to, but I assure you that I will. We are all sinners by nature and choice. Sin includes our thoughts, it includes our words, it includes our deeds, and the motives, which compel us toward our thoughts, words, and deeds. None of us can say that we are without sin. None of us, none of us, none of us can make this claim. In fact, even those of you who are not particularly religious, you have likely said this at some point, "No one is," what? "Perfect." Jesus says, "Except for me."
This is an amazing claim. Jesus gets up in a crowd like this and he says openly and publicly, "Does anyone have any accusation of any sin that I have ever committed?" Jesus is without sin. Jesus alone is without sin. Jesus is God come to the earth to proclaim the love of God, to demonstrate the love of God, and to live the life that we have not lived, to live as a substitute on our behalf, to be our righteousness in the presence of a holy and just God who judges. Jesus is not the best in our category. Jesus is in a category unto himself. And friends, a claim like this is staggering. No other major world religion has a founder who has made this claim. Jesus stands alone.
5. Jesus Said He Is God
"I and the Father are one." [And they] picked up stones again to stone him. Jesus answered them, "I have shown you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you going to stone me?" [And they] answered him, "… because you, being a man, make yourself to be God."
John 10:30–33
Some of you have been lied to. You have been told that Jesus never said he was God. Some of you have been wrongly told that Jesus did not consider himself to be God, that this was a myth, a legend, a fable, a folklore that was uttered long after his departure from this earth, that over the course of generations, his followers built this mythical, fanciful story that Jesus Christ was God. Friends, that is not true. The reason we believe that Jesus Christ is the only God is because Jesus Christ repeatedly, emphatically, unapologetically, openly, publicly declared himself to be God. Jesus Christ is God! Jesus Christ is the only God! And by the grace of God, Jesus Christ is our God.
Buddha never said he was God. Krishna never said he was God. Confucius never said he was God. Muhammad never said he was God. No other major religious founder has ever made this claim. Jesus stands alone.
And friends, this statement, this truth claim, it is true or it is false. And if it is false, Jesus is the most damnable liar in the history of the world. He's telling us to pray to him, to confess sin to him, to trust him, to follow him, to give our lives to him, to give our dollars to him, to give our deeds to him, to give our days to him. And if he is not God, then he is the most despicable, damnable man who has lived on the face of the earth.
But if he tells the truth, he is God. Jesus is Lord.
6. Jesus Forgives Sin
And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven." … [And the critics said,] "He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?" Mark 2:5, 7
We all have sinned and Jesus alone forgives sin.
Jesus looks at a sinful man as Jesus would look at you and you and you and you and you and you and he would say, "Your sins are forgiven." Those who were present knew that this alone is the domain of God. In Psalm 51:4, we read, "Against you only, Lord God, have I sinned. Against you only, Lord God, have I sinned."
Friends, when we sin, we sin against one another and we need people to forgive us. But every time every one of us has committed any and every sin, it is also a sin against God. It is a violation of God's law. It is a violation of God's character. When we sin, we are acting incongruent with who God is and what God says.
"How much suffering have you caused? How little suffering have you alleviated?"
And God alone can forgive sin. And Jesus says, "I forgive sin. I forgive sin." Friends, this is astonishing. You know what each of us needs, friends? Forgiveness of sin. That burden of guilt, that shame, that condemnation, those quiet moments when you and I ponder the most regrettable parts of our life, those things we have done, those things we have said, those things we have failed to do and say.
See, friends, our sin is commission, where we do things and say things that we should not. And our sin includes omission, where we do not do and say the things that God intended for us to say and do.
How much suffering have you caused? How little suffering have you alleviated? We are all sinners by nature and choice. We're all sinners, myself included.
And every other religion will tell you, "Here's what you can do to deal with your sin. You can follow this path. You can adhere to this plan." Jesus says, "I'll take care of that. I'll just forgive you." There's nothing for you and me to do. Friends, there is nothing for you and me to do to experience forgiveness of sin from God. All we do is trust in Jesus. And Jesus is going to make forgiveness possible.
"Do you know why Jesus declares himself to be God? Because he is God."
At this point in the story of history, Jesus is on his way to Jerusalem. He is going there to be beaten, to be mocked, to be flogged, ultimately to be crucified. And the Bible declares that the wage of sin, the consequence of sin, the penalty for sin is death. Friends, that's why we die, because we are sinners. And Jesus goes to the cross, and in the most magnificent demonstration of both love and justice in the history of the world, our God who came down from heaven to live without sin substituted himself to make his enemies friends and to forgive sin.
Jesus alone forgives sin. And when they hear this, they accuse him of blasphemy. They know that he is declaring himself to be God.
Do you know why Jesus declares himself to be God? Because he is God.
7. Jesus Said He Is the Only Way to Heaven
Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6
Not only does Jesus come down from heaven, he lives without sin, he dies for our sin, he rises as our savior. He then ascends back into heaven and he opens a doorway into the presence of God and the kingdom of God. And he invites us to pass through it by trusting in him.
Friends, Jesus is exclusive. I need to tell you this. I do not want to be dishonest with you. Not all religions save. Not all paths lead to eternal life. Not all gods and goddesses are truly the one true God. Friends, Jesus is exclusive. And in Seattle, this is absolutely controversial. In Seattle, this is unpopular. But I cannot be a liar; I must be a truth teller. I love you, but I will stand before him and I will give an account for every word that I speak. And I must tell you the truth. There is no salvation, there is no forgiveness of sin, there is no eternal life, there is no reconciliation with God apart from faith in Jesus Christ. We believe it because he said it. "I am the way, the truth, the life. No one," he says, "comes to the Father but by me."
But friends, not only is Jesus exclusive—there is only one way—he is inclusive. And he invites us all. No matter what sin you've committed, Jesus invites you. No matter what race you are, Jesus invites you. No matter how old you are, Jesus invites you. No matter what religion you have participated in, Jesus invites you. Whether you've been atheist or agnostic or ignorant, Jesus invites you. The door is open, it is exclusive. There is one door, his name is Jesus Christ. But it is inclusive; everyone is welcome to pass through that door, all races, all genders, all languages, all nations, all tongues, all tribes, all peoples, from all times and all places are all welcome to faith in Jesus Christ.
8. Jesus Said He Would Resurrect from Death
And [Jesus] began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes and be killed, and after three days rise again. Mark 8:31
Jesus' vindication is his resurrection. Jesus kept saying, "I am God," and they said, "We are struggling and straining to believe you." And Jesus said, "Then just wait and see. I will suffer, I will die, I will be buried, and three days later I will be back." And Jesus' resurrection is his vindication. The resurrection of Jesus Christ proves that everything he ever said is absolutely, incontrovertibly, and completely true.
Jesus is alive. Jesus is alive.
Jesus died. Jesus died.
He was arrested, he was falsely accused, he was beaten.
He was stripped nearly naked.
He was flogged so that the flesh was ripped off his body.
He had nails driven though the most sensitive nerve centers on the human body, his hands and his feet.
Jesus died on the cross and a Roman executioner declared it to be so. To ensure that he was dead, a spear was thrust underneath his rib cage, puncturing his heart sac so that water and blood flowed from his side. Jesus was then wrapped in upwards of one hundred pounds of burial linens and spices. Jesus' body was laid in a cold tomb hewn out of rock. A stone was placed in the front. The seal of the Roman government ensured its safekeeping. A soldier stood guard. Jesus was dead.
And three days later, he was alive. He was alive.
He rolled the stone away. He walked into town. Over the course of 40 days, he appeared to crowds, some as large as 500 people. He ate meals with people. Women who were his friends came and hugged him. His disciples, one of whom even doubted his resurrection, got to see his crucifixion scars. His name was Thomas and he believed that Jesus had, in fact, conquered death. And he fell down on his face and he worshiped Jesus as God. And that's the right response to the risen Jesus.
Jesus Christ rose from death and history has never been the same. A bunch of cowardly disciples became fearless, willing to die. They no longer even feared death because they knew that, like Jesus, they would rise from death because they belonged to him. The early church stopped worshiping on a Saturday, which had been their custom from creation, beginning with the Jews. And they started worshiping on Sunday because it was the day of Jesus' resurrection from death and all things had been made new and all prophecy had been fulfilled. And Christians began taking Communion, remembering the broken body and shed blood of Jesus through wine and Communion.
And no one visited Jesus' grave. We have no idea where Jesus is buried because he's not there. No one went to visit him. It did not become a shrine. It did not become a holy place of worship, as is the custom with other dead religious leaders and famous people. If you wanted to see Jesus' body, you wouldn't go to the tomb. You would go spend some time with him, have a meal with him, listen to Bible teaching from him. And after 40 days, Jesus ascended back into heaven. And today, he's alive and well, friends. He's ruling and reigning as King of kings and Lord of lords. And he is God, Lord, Savior, Christ, and King. And his resurrection is his vindication.

He is the sinner's friend.
He is the great high priest.
He is the King of kings.
He is the Lord of lords.
And he is the way, the truth, the life! No one comes to the Father but by him!
His love is glorious.
His love is marvelous.
His love is generous.
His love is gracious.
His love is matchless.
And his love is priceless.
He came as a humble servant. He's coming again as the King of kings and the Lord of lords to judge the living and the dead.
And friends, this is the most important moment in your entire life. Jesus while on the earth asked this question, "Who do you say that I am?" That is Jesus' question for you today. Who do you say that he is?

After almost five years of marriage, Katie Lee Joel and Billy Joel (ahem, William) have filed for divorce. Now Katie Lee, who is 33 years younger than her soon-to-be ex, will disappear even further into the sunset. You probably don't even remember that she was once the host of "Top Chef." Yeah, I didn't think so. That's because she only hosted for one season, and viewers complained that she was too robotic. "Top Chef" won—they replaced Katie with Padma Lakshmi, who we love except for the fact that she eats and eats and never seems to gain any weight. But Katie isn't alone. Check out these former TV hosts who were replaced right before their shows got epically popular. Keep reading »

Growing 60-70 Cauliflower & Broccoli transplants under tunnels & while they are big & healthy, the production has been poor to none. These seeds were started on 8/7! I've harvested a few small (3") central heads of the heirloom broccoli but not one head of cauliflower. I'm confused about my research....... It appears broccoli doesn't need pollination while cauliflower does. Is this correct information? My common sense tell me that I should forget it, take down my tunnels & toss the plants in the compost bin. The broccoli is producing a small amount of side heads ... |

No. Neither is grown for seeds except by dedicated seed savers. When grown for food pollination is not required. Heirloom broccoli seldom has large heads. Cauliflower is much more finicky and needs relatively optimum conditions to head. Low light slows development even further. They need water and nitrogen, but I suspect short daylight is the major contributor to your problem. |
Pollination is only an issue for seed production (if you are growing them for seed). In that case you let the heads bolt (spread into its yellow or purple flowers), then be pollinated by insects, and left to go to seed. The vegetable we eat from both plants is the "flower" (the florets), if you will, before it fully develops and blooms. Your production issues are most likely nutrient or temperature related. Cool temps are required. How warm is it in your tunnels? Dave |
Here is a link that might be useful: Pics of blooming cauliflower
I wonder if your source mentioned 'fertilization' rather than 'pollination'? Fertilization in the sense of adding fertilizer, not in the sense of sexual reproduction. |
Don't toss them. They'll come eventually. One thing that I've noticed about broccoli and cauli is that "days to maturity" can be ignored. They always take a lot longer than advertised. Also, if you're attempting to harvest SEED from the cauli, you'll have to wait -- I've read it's a biennial. Kevin |
For fall cauliflower I sow on June 16th and set out about the 12th of July. While that may sound early, it really works for me with very large nice heads in October. I plant mostly a full season variety like Symphony. I am at latitude 40.27 I transplant them out while still somewhat small and KEEP THEM well watered. |

Thanks folks! Lots of good info here that's confirmed a couple of my suspicions...... Light being one. I'm using Agribon 30 that allows 70% light transmission coupled with shorter days & soil temps in the low to mid 50s (which should be OK). All this could be part of the problem...... I've had good success in the past using Agribon 19. They've been properly fertilized & irrigated through my fertigation system..... |

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 Blossom!
Facts about Blossom
- Breed: Labrador Retriever/Border Collie Mix
- Color: Black - With White
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Blossom's Info...
I am up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Oh my goodness, This is a fun loving cutie! Blossom is about 14 weeks old and weighs close to 20 lbs. She has had three sets of puppy shots and worming and is ready for her new home. Blossom is looking for an active family that will give her lots of love and attention. Blossom is happy all the time and she loves other dogs as well as people. We have not had her around cats but she is certainly not a bit mean however, she would probably be a bit much for a cat at this point. Blossom has a beautiful soft, full coat, she is smart and has the sweetest personality! If you would like to fill out an application for Blossom and get more info on her, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com
Other Pets at Pooches & Purrs Cooperative - Brattleboro
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Blossom, a Brattleboro Labrador Retriever/Border Collie puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever/Border Collie for sale in Brattleboro, or seeking a Labrador Retriever/Border Collie puppy from a breeder in Brattleboro.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Brattleboro 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 Brattleboro 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 Labrador Retriever/Border Collie breeders who help with Labrador Retriever/Border Collie rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Brattleboro paves the way for another one to be saved.

Windows RT is Dead
Perhaps it felt this way because Microsoft was not actually at CES with a large booth showing off key product areas, but Windows RT was practically non-existent. At every major event where the big PC brands were showing off their hottest new devices, not a single one was showing an RT device.
To further hurt RT's momentum, Samsung announced they've cancelled plans to release an RT device. I knew of several other RT devices that were supposed to be launched at CES and didn't, which does not bode well for RT's future.
Intel is the big winner here and they are not taking it for granted, doing everything they can to further develop and inspire new rounds of computing innovations.
Intel is Serious
The chip giant is looking to drive innovation by whatever means possible. Their new lineup of low power chipsets designed to bring performance and efficiency continue to bring Intel closer to parity with the energy efficiency of ARM, but Intel's not there yet.
I saw more than a dozen x86 based pure slate Windows 8 tablets at CES, which is an extremely good trend for Intel and partners.
Another interesting move Intel made at CES to further drive the market was to make touchscreens mandatory as a part of the Ultrabook spec going forward. This will make the transition to all touch on Intel and MSFT PCs happen much faster. I expect 40% of Windows 8 PCs to have touch moving to 65% by the end of 2014.
Of course factoring in the cost analysis of adding touch to all PCs will be a challenge, but I expect Intel to do everything it can to bring the cost of touch panels down so we can get touch-based Ultrabooks in the market for below $600.
It is clear that the best experience around Windows 8 is to have touch on all systems running it. This is a good move in my opinion and one that will help further develop the market for Windows 8 machines and hopefully drive an influx of better Windows 8 applications.
Tablets are coming in all shapes and sizes
Everything seems to be becoming a tablet, or include tablet-like functionality. No where was this more evident than the many all-in-one desktop PCs that could be ported around or laid flat and used as a communal touchscreen computer.
The Lenovo IdeaCentre Horizon 27" desktop is one such example; an all-in-one that can lay flat on the tablet and includes 10 pt multi-touch allowing multiple people to work on the surface simultaneously.
Asus was also showing off a smaller version of the same concept at 17" that made for a bit more portable experience.
Of course these devices are not meant to be taken very far, perhaps just around the home or within the office, but the point remains nearly all computers being made are including tablet-like functionality.
Their were also plenty of innovative hybrids and convertibles being launched at CES and none was better in my mind than the Lenovo Helix with its 11.8 inch touch screen and clamshell form factor.
What is unique about this design is that the screen also detaches to a pure slate form factor but can also flip around and lay flat (like the Lenovo Yoga) for a more conventional convertible design.
Lenovo's Helix very interesting to me because it covered a multitude of use cases and was one of the most interesting new designs I saw at CES.
All in all I saw a great deal of innovative machines. I anticipate 2013 to be a transition year for the PC industry as they look to innovate and offer new and unique form factors designed to solve different personal computing problems and use cases.

Photographer Samuel Nolan's capture of model Teresa Oman showcases the model amid horses, gardens and desolate street routes. And while this would suggest the production's earthy nature, the Australian duo have offered their own take on the city slicker 90s grunge theme.
Oman's knit toques and slouchy desert ankle boots mirror the exact apparel found in online hipster parodies and too cool for school indie films. All that is missing is are band t-shirts, although this has been in large part made up for with Oman's kohl eye shadow and deep purple lipstick. The best aspect of Nolan's work is its candid style. His snapshots of stunning women appear to be anything but planned, capturing them in their essence alongside natural laid-back settings.

I just propagated 15 highbush spreading style blueberries. I used the new growth cutting technique. All of my cuttings are around 4 inches long. I dipped them in a hormone powder and placed them in 50/50 peat and perlite. I removed all the leaves but the very top ones. I also placed a large plastic container over the top of the cuttings. Oh and IM using a heating mat set at 75 degrees. My cuttings are also located in a shady spot in my greenhouse. Im hand misting the cuttings twice a day. My question is since the cuttings are in my greenhouse, do I still need the plastic container over the top of them to create humidity. I can always just up the humidity in my GH my pouring water on the floor. I also have an overhead mister If thats recomended. This is my first time propagating and I really want some success with my blueberries and I also did some blackberries and hardy kiwi with the same technique. The bluberries were also placed in small pots that I figured would need to be replaced by fall. If im on the right track jsut let me know. I dont want to mess this deal up. thanks |

the plastic container will reduce the amount of misting needed but dose need to be removed 2-3 times a day to allow fresh air......suggest removing plastic & continue to mist as before. The overhead mister will also work but have it misting for 10 seconds once a hour.... |
I'd be interested to hear what kind of success rate you have. I had heard from a local garden guru that they don't propagate well and layering was the most successful way of getting more stock. If your method works, then I'd like to give it a go too. |

active: 1764 - 1812 manufacturer Italian
A shrewd businessman and imaginative entrepreneur, Geminiano Cozzi created the most successful porcelain factory in late eighteenth-century Venice, despite accusations of illicit conduct, espionage, and betrayal by his contemporaries. A banker, Cozzi first became involved in the ceramics business as a partner in another porcelain factory. When the owners returned to Germany, Cozzi founded his own factory in the first and second floors of a palazzo and was soon offered financial support by the Venetian board of trade. Inventive and clever in his marketing tactics, Cozzi quickly cultivated demand for his wares among the fashionable upper classes. Influential friends published articles in a Venetian newspaper describing the factory and praising its works. In May 1767 the enterprising Cozzi distributed a handbill inviting "ceramists adept at wheel-throwing, modeling, and painting [to his factory] for suitable and profitable recompense." Hiring potters away from rival enterprises brought anger and litigation from their owners but did not stop Cozzi. The fashion for drinking tea, coffee, and chocolate from porcelain cups in Venice's new coffeehouses, along with the general popularity of porcelain during the 1700s, fueled tremendous demand for Cozzi's wares. In addition to producing soft-paste porcelain, his factory also constructed kilns for maiolica and creamware, less costly ceramics available to a wider public.

Sweden's Teracom: Cellular Networks not Realistic Alternative to OTA Broadcasts
Stockholm - Nov 27, 2013 - Swedish Broadcast network operator Teracom engaged the Swedish consulting and research company A-focus to analyze a hypothetical scenario in which the analog FM network in Sweden is shut down in 2022 and subsequently not replaced with a digital terrestrial network (with DAB+ or a compatible technology) but rather by using the cellular networks to broadcast digital radio. The assignment was to analyze the consequences for public service and commercial radio, although not local radio. Another requirement was to analyze the situation from a technology-neutral perspective without changing the basic requirements on coverage, accessibility and quality.
The report results were presented on Oct. 24 at a breakfast seminar hosted by Teracom. A-focus' findings were as follows:
■ An enormous capacity would be required to stream today's radio services in a mobile broadband network. When converted, today's radio listening represents a larger amount of data than all the in- and outgoing data in all four mobile operators' networks, in 2012.
■ Given current price levels, it would cost around 860 million EUR per year to broadcast radio via the mobile operator's cellular networks, as opposed to 10-20 million EUR per year for equivalent capacity in the terrestrial network. This extra cost must thus be paid by the broadcasters or directly by the consumers. Today, neither broadcasters nor consumers are close to being able to take on this expense. Even if the price for capacity in the mobile broadband networks should fall, the price reduction would need to be around 96 percent.
■ According to sample measurements by the National Regulatory Authority in Sweden, the cellular networks coverage areas is not up to 99.8 percent of all households, which is the coverage requirement stipulated by the Parliament for the public service broadcaster, Sveriges Radio. Also, approximately 1.2 million Swedes live in complete alienation today when it comes to using the Internet. They have more or less never been on the Internet, and only half of the Swedes with smartphones have used their phones to go on-line. For a cellular network scenario to completely substitute terrestrial broadcasted radio, the Radio listeners would need to subscribe, register and pay regular invoices for a service that previously has been free.
"Some people believe it is possible to replace broadcast radio with radio via cellular networks. Surely, they have not done the math. I have done the math and the conclusion is clear - it is not a realistic alternative," said Göran Hedström, senior consultant at A-Focus and primary author of the report.

Horse Downloadable Print
The animals prints are a natural progression of my life as a mom. My son and I spend many hours discussing, looking at, sounding out, and getting excited about animals.
One morning, as Remy sat in his highchair, I showed him some of my new paintings. He studied them, and held his little face close to the paper, and then he smiled and clapped. I remembered why I love making art, especially for kids. I love the idea of happy paintings that encourage imagination, surrounding our kiddos as they grow up. I also want the images to be available and affordable to everyone, so a switch to downloadable prints seemed the best way to make that happen.
Your purchase comes with four files: a 5x7 JPG & PDF, and an 8x10 JPG & PDF. This should cover any printing needs in a photo or print lab.
As always, you are welcome to print as many copies as you'd like for yourself and to use as gifts, but please do not share the files via email or sell the printed product for money. Do not alter the files in any way.
Take a photo of your prints new home or journey and pin, instagram, twitter with the hashtag #ashmaedotcom.
Thank you and enjoy!

When Paris Hilton was caught with a baggie containing nearly a gram of cocaine over the weekend, she told Las Vegas police officers that she thought it was gum. Then she backed up, telling the officers that the purse wasn't hers—she borrowed it from a friend, so some of the items in it weren't hers. This is comical because since when does coke look like gum? Also, since when does Paris have to borrow a purse—doesn't she have a different one for every day of the year, err, decade? [People]

Riot Games has released a Champion Spotlight for the newest champion to enter the league: Graves, the Outlaw. The gunslinger has some moves in common with other ranged characters like Miss Fortune, but his focus on close-range fighting makes him look fairly unique among ranged champions.
As the video shows, Graves isn't about hiding and sniping from the back. His play style is more up-close and personal, relying on his Quickdraw ability, which lets him dash into (or out of) battles to gain increased attack speed. He's also a hero that benefits greatly from auto-attacking, which means he's best when surrounded by enemy minions to fight, as opposed to champions like Twitch who rely on the element of surprise in the middle of the jungle.
We're more excited to try out Graves than we have been for other recently released characters. His playstyle looks downright fun, and Collateral Damage looks like it might be one of the coolest Ultimate abilities in the game, despite not actually causing collateral damage (something we're not necessarily upset by). If you're interested in learning more you can check out the video above, his move list below, or you can just jump into the game and buy him now – the patch is currently live, ready to be downloaded and enjoyed.

Is Hans Rosling right? Religion and Fertility between and within Nations
Readers of this blog might have noticed that my main focus of research (and those of colleagues such as Eric Kaufmann) has been the reproductive potential of religiosity. Lots of data and studies have conclusively demonstrated that the religious tend to have - on average - more children than the secular.

Fake interpreter cites schizophrenia
Johannesburg - The man accused of faking sign interpretation while standing alongside world leaders like U.S. President Barack Obama at Nelson Mandela's memorial service said Thursday he saw "angels" at the event, has been violent in the past and suffers from schizophrenia.
Thamsanqa Jantjie said in an interview with The Associated Press that his hallucinations began while he was interpreting and that he tried not to panic because there were "armed policemen around me." He added that he was once hospitalized in a mental health facility for more than one year.
Jantjie, who stood gesticulating three-feet from Obama and others who spoke at Tuesday's ceremony that was broadcast around the world, insisted that he was doing proper sign-language interpretation of the speeches of world leaders.
But he also apologized for his performance that has been dismissed by many sign-language experts as gibberish.
"What happened that day, I see angels come to the stadium ... I start realizing that the problem is here. And the problem, I don't know the attack of this problem, how will it come. Sometimes I get violent on that place. Sometimes I will see things chasing me," Jantjie said.
Asked how often he had become violent, he said "a lot" while declining to provide details.
Contacted by telephone Thursday by AP, SA Interpreters, the organization that reportedly hired Jantjie to do the sign language interpreting at the memorial, declined to comment.
AP writer Ray Faure contributed to this report.

The daughter of slain San Francisco porn mogul Artie Mitchell is being sought by local and state authorities following an identity-theft spree and a hit-and-run crash last week that involved a Sonoma County Sheriff's Office unmarked patrol car.
Jasmine Mitchell, 33, of San Pablo, is wanted on a warrant in connection to the ID-theft case and may also be charged with assault on a police officer and hit-and-run for an April 29 incident, Sheriff's Office Sgt. Michael Raasch said.
About 7 p.m. that day, detectives were tipped that Mitchell and a second suspect, 34-year-old Roy Kim, were living at an apartment complex across from the San Pablo Lytton Casino, Raasch said.
The pair was wanted on warrants related to "multiple identity thefts," Raasch said, and Kim, who is on parole for possession of stolen property, was also being sought by state parole agents and for a burglary case in Santa Clara County.
Detectives searched the unit and detained three other people after investigators uncovered a large-scale identity-theft and credit-card operation, Raasch said.
One of the three people, who police identified as Harley Logsdon, 46, of San Pablo, was on probation out of Napa County for alleged forgery, Raasch said. He was arrested and booked into the Contra Costa County Jail on outstanding arrest warrants. He was being held without bail on Tuesday for a probation violation.
As detectives continued the search that day, Mitchell drove into the parking lot in a Mercedes, he said. When detectives attempted to arrest Mitchell she rammed an unmarked police car and a parked car then sped away, Raasch said.
The suspect vehicle was described as a white, four-door Mercedes sedan with the California license plate No. 5YGV637.
Detectives later located Kim inside a taxi in Richmond, Raasch said. He was arrested and booked into the Contra Costa County Jail for outstanding warrants.
Mitchell's father and her uncle, Jim Mitchell, were pioneers in the production of pornographic films in the Bay Area and founded the O'Farrell Theater on San Francisco's O'Farrell Street. In late February 1991, Jim drove to Artie's house in Corte Madera and shot him to death.
Jasmine Mitchell is only the latest family member facing criminal charges. In 2009, a son of Jim Mitchell -- James Mitchell -- was sentenced to 35 years to life in prison for killing the mother of his daughter with a baseball bat in Novato.

The fastest time in the world. That was what Oregon redshirt sophomore sprinter Jenna Prandini was told after she crossed the finish line at the Aztec Invitational.
"I was surprised. I didn't have any idea what I ran when I crossed the finish line," Prandini said. "My family was all there and my little cousins were cheering so loud, so it was cool that I was able to do it there."
Prandini's official time in the 200-meter dash was 22.98, which was not only the fastest time in the world this year, but a meet record and a personal best.
"I had no anticipation of setting any times or anything like that," Oregon head coach Robert Johnson said. "The purpose of going down there was to train. For some of those kids to perform the way that they did is definitely shocking."
For Prandini, the Aztec Invitational set the tone for what she hopes will be a strong season. With the momentum she gained in San Diego, Prandini headed into the Oregon Pepsi Dual meet Saturday. While she didn't set any more world record times, Prandini continued to build upon what she hopes will be a strong season.
At the dual meet, she competed in the long jump, 100-meter dash and the 4×100 meter relay.
The closest race of the day for Prandini came in the 100-meter as she barely outkicked teammate Jasmine Todd to win the race with a time of 11.42. Todd finished only .04 seconds behind her.
"The start wasn't very good, but I just had to run a good race," Prandini said.
The battle between Todd and Prandini continued as both had strong showings in the long jump. This time, Prandini dropped the event to Todd, finishing second with a jump of 6.19 meters.
The final event she competed in was the 4×100, with Prandini running the third leg in a group featuring Marybeth Sant, Phyllis Francis and Todd. While the Ducks got off to a fast start, the team faltered in the handoff between Prandini and Todd. They couldn't get the baton passed within the zone — resulting in their disqualification.
"We were both at long jump and didn't really have that much time to practice beforehand," Prandini said. "We have a lot of work to do in that race. There is a lot of room for improvement, which is really exciting."
Despite the finish at the dual meet, the 4×100 relay is another event in which Prandini could set records for the Ducks.
"The 4×100 has a lot of hope this season," Prandini said. "As long as we can get our passes and our handoffs right I think we should be able to run a really fast time."
Johnson also believes that with all the talented newcomers on the relay team, it should post strong times this season.
"For the first time ever I think we have pieces," Johnson said. "We've been fortunate, we've been blessed. Those kids are really doing a good job."
The dual meet was just one more step in what should be a record-setting season for Prandini.

The wind blew my tomato plant over and I discovered that my plant was leaning because the stem is half broke. Not completely, though. What do I do? Should I toss it and start a new one or should I tear it off and replant the broken piece in another pot? For the time being,I secured it to a stake so it can stand straight up. Is this okay? Please help! This is a determinate husky red tomato plant.It had already started to bear fruit and yellow flowers, and I'd hate for it to be a total loss. |

You can do a number of things. If it isn't completely severed, you can actually tape it up (I like to use teflon tape but you can try something else like cloth strips, etc - maybe some foil to keep it firm and dry, etc) and in most cases, the break will heal on its own if the branch is supported and splinted somehow. Alternately, you could try to root the top part, but since this is a bearing determinant, that might be tricky as it is already fruiting and determinants generally do that one big fruiting and then that's it (and to try to grow roots and have fruit might be difficult for it). I would try the taping/splinting. I have done it a many a time for my big beefsteak plants over the years - particularly when they have alot of fruit on them. |

What Jenny said. Both part of this are important — stake it firmly so that the "wound" doesn't reopen with the next big gust of wind. But don't use ties or twine that are so tight they will cut into the stem. Nylon stockings or strips of rags might be good for holding it to the stake at several points. And make sure the stake itself is sturdy. |
My tomato plant broke and is full of tomatoes. Can I leave the fruit on the plant to ripen or should I remove the fruit and try to ripen them in the sun? Please help, I hate to have all my work thrown away. |
- Posted by username_5 5 (My Page) on Thu, Aug 4, 05 at 11:05
how green are the maters on the broken stem? You can take the stem and put it in very moist potting soil and see if the plant continues to ripen the maters. Generally a damaged plant will expend every last ounce of it's available energy trying to ripen the existing fruit. In fact one 'trick' to get green fruit to ripen at the end of the season is to damage the plant to get it to hurry up. This damage is generally using a shovel to hack off part of it's root system, but damage is damage ;-) Let the plant ripen them as far as possible and then let them finish ripening on their own. I wouldn't suggest leaving the maters outside in the sun after they are removed from the plant though. Bring them inside and place in a paper bag with a sliced up apple to ripen them. Apples produce ethylene gas naturally. Ethylene is what commercial growers use to ripen tomatos harvested green for shipping. |

HD Tune Pro
Version and / or Patch Used: 3.00
Developer Homepage: http://www.efdsoftware.com
Product Homepage: http://www.hdtune.com
HD Tune is a Hard Disk utility which has the following functions:
- Benchmark: measures the performance
- Info: shows detailed information
- Health: checks the health status by using SMART
- Error Scan: scans the surface for errors
- Temperature display
HD Tune Pro gives us accurate read, write and access time results and for the last couple of years has been gaining popularity amongst reviewers. It is now considered a must have application for storage device testing.
Read Tests
The Transcend Ultra 120GB drive has a faster maximum STR read speed than the Patriot Torqx M28 (Samsung Controller), but the drive does trail off a bit with a couple of dips that brought the minimum speed down. Once everything is averaged out the Ultra is just a little faster than the Torqx M28.
Write Tests
The STR write speed of the Ultra is a little bumpy and the drive managed to dip all the way down to 100 MB/s. When comparing the Ultra to the M28 the Ultra shows superiority in the average and maximum readings.
