Welcome to Spencer Hill!
A bit of history…
Over 30 years ago Spencer Dorothy and his son, Rick, purchased a 4-acre hill of dirt as a borrow site for their excavating business. Never did they dream that the State of Nebraska would later dam up Sand Creek for
flood control and create beautiful Lake Wanahoo, a 662-acre lake, only 600 feet from their property! We hope that developing this land and sharing it with you is something that honors Spencer's life. Spencer
passed away on November 23, 1997, one year before the concept of Lake Wanahoo was born.
Owners, Rick & Linda Dorothy
The first of 3 planned cabins was completed in late 2012 and offers the coziness of a cabin with the roominess of a lodge. This luxury cabin overlooks Lake Wanahoo and is conveniently located just 30 minutes from Omaha or Lincoln and footsteps away the lake. This splendid retreat is ideal for couples, families, business or social gatherings or anyone wanting to get away from the hectic pace of life.
The cabin features a 2400 sq. ft. open floor plan decorated with modern/rustic furnishings, knotty pine cathedral ceilings, antique barn wood flooring and granite countertops. The 3 bedrooms/3 baths are privately positioned on each of the 3 levels of the building and are appointed with luxury linens. The 4+ acre property is 600 ft. from Lake Wanahoo which offers biking, hiking, kayaking, fishing and is a bird watcher's paradise!
Guests will have full access to the cabin which includes a fully equipped kitchen, a great room with amazing views of the lake and a gas fireplace, a master bedroom with a queen size log bed and adjoining deck with a stainless steel gas grill. The cozy loft with knotty pine ceilings has a king-size bed, a full bath, 2 built-in bunks and a deck to enjoy your morning coffee. The lower level has more large windows with views of the lake, a bedroom with 2 full sets of single bunk beds, a full size bath and a family room equipped with HDTV, a DVD player and DIRECTV. There is a queen sofa sleeper in the family room for extra guests. The walkout is to a patio with seating for 6 equipped with a charcoal grill. An IPOD docking station is connected to the Bluetooth-enabled stereo for those who wish to bring their own music.
The cabin is situated on 4.5 beautifully landscaped acres with complete privacy. Many large windows offer awesome views of Lake Wanahoo. The only noise is that of Mother Nature and an occasional crowing rooster.
The quiet town of Wahoo is located 1 mile south and offers many conveniences from fast food to restaurants, banks, a bakery and two grocery stores. The town also has an 18-hole golf course, a wonderful large city park and swimming pool and is the site of the Saunders County Fair. There are a number of antique stores and boutique shops within a 10 minute drive.
Spencer Hill offers a beautiful lake view setting for special events of 50 people or less. The property has a large landscaped area perfect for outdoor weddings, reunions, and corporate gatherings. An outdoor tent (additional fee) is required for these occasions.
Spencer Hill is conveniently located just 30 minutes from Omaha or Lincoln and footsteps away from beautiful Lake Wanahoo. The address is 1640 County Road 17, Wahoo, Nebraska 68066.
Driving directions from Omaha:
Take Hwy. 92 west past Yutan and Mead and turn left at the Hwy. 77/92 intersection (Wahoo airport is on your right). As you drive into the town of Wahoo you will turn right on Chestnut Street (Caseys General Store will be on your right). We are 1.6 miles north of this intersection, located on the right side of County Road 17.
Driving directions from Lincoln:
Take I-80 east to Hwy. 77 exit. Turn north and go approximately 21 miles and turn right onto Hwy. 77/Hwy. 92/County Road K. Go approx. 1/2 mile and turn left onto Chestnut (Zestos is on your right). Drive approximately 1 mile and turn left onto Chestnut Street (Casey's General store). Chestnut Street becomes County Road 17. Follow this approximately 1.2 miles to Spencer Hill, which will be over the hill on the right.

Things to do
• Relaxing in a quiet country setting with only the sounds of birds chirping or an occasional rooster crowing to wake you from your thoughts.
• Watching the majestic nature of a bald eagle soaring from it's nearby nest at Lake Wanahoo or the wonder of the geese as they migrate in the spring and fall.
• Enjoying a campfire in the evening, fully equipped with a star-studded sky.
• Waking up to heavenly mornings watching the sun rise and glisten off the lake as Mother Nature starts her day.
• Fishing Lake Wanahoo only a few steps away. The lake has been stocked with largemouth bass, crappie, bluegill, blue catfish, walleye and northern pike. A Nebraska fishing license is required.
• Hiking or biking the 4-mile path around Lake Wanahoo.
• Kayaking or canoeing around the lake. If you don't have your own boat, you can rent one in Omaha or Lincoln at the University of Nebraska.
• Having a pow wow with the little Indians in your group in the tepee, which sleeps 4.
• For children looking to splash water in the summer sun, the nearby town of Wahoo offers a wonderful swimming pool and park with a nice variety of playground equipment.
• Golfing is available at Wahoo's Hillside Country Club, an 18-hole course minutes away.
The cabin is available at $375 per night with a limit of 12 people (sleeping capacity of 10-12).

11 Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he did pursue his brother with the sword, and did cast off all pity, and his anger did tear perpetually, and he kept his wrath for ever: | 11 This is what the LORD says: "For three sins of Edom, even for four, I will not turn back [my wrath]. Because he pursued his brother with a sword, stifling all compassion, because his anger raged continually and his fury flamed unchecked, |

The etiology and consistency of findings on normal sexual dimorphisms of the adult human brain are unresolved. In this study, we present a comprehensive evaluation of normal sexual dimorphisms of cortical and subcortical brain regions, using in vivo magnetic resonance imaging, in a community sample of 48 normal adults. The men and women were similar in age, education, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, general intelligence and handedness. Forty-five brain regions were assessed based on T(1)-weighted three-dimensional images acquired from a 1.5 T magnet. Sexual dimorphisms of adult brain volumes were more evident in the cortex, with women having larger volumes, relative to cerebrum size, particularly in frontal and medial paralimbic cortices. Men had larger volumes, relative to cerebrum size, in frontomedial cortex, the amygdala and hypothalamus. A permutation test showed that, compared to other brain areas assessed in this study, there was greater sexual dimorphism among brain areas that are homologous with those identified in animal studies showing greater levels of sex steroid receptors during critical periods of brain development. These findings have implications for developmental studies that would directly test hypotheses about mechanisms relating sex steroid hormones to sexual dimorphisms in humans.

Hello 2011!
I'm leaving for China in the morning and I'll be there for a week working on Bebe and Rock&Republic and hammering out the details of this "potential project"... I'm super excited. :)
What are YOU excited about for 2011? According to some people it's going to be the last year of human existence so we better make it count! haha.
I want to make some changes to the blog this year. I'd like to add a store to sell my shoes and my friends shoes (who are hopefully different sizes than me) to give everyone a chance to get some great previously loved shoes. I also have some Shoe Girl shirts that some of you may be interested in!!
In 2011 all the Betsey Johnson shoes you'll see will be Steve Madden's Betsey Johnson shoes. There will be a noticeable difference... here are a few of my favorite shoes from the last collection I did that you may or may not see since we had to stop shipping in December. :( Boo hoo hoo.
Anyway, here's to a new year and exciting possibilities, and to your health and happiness!
Let me know if there's something you'd like to see more of this year. What are your favorite kinds of posts? Suggestions? I'd love to hear it.

The shoes are just awesome!!! I like their colors and styles. Heels actually exercises your calves while you walk!! Not only that, but it holds your leg at a great angle that causes your butt to lift and your posture to straighten.

Thank you so so much for your lovely comment ! It's such an honour to get compliments from someone like you - what a career ! I love Betsey Johnson so much. I worked for Beverly Feldman some years ago, and I used to tease her, telling her to leave and work for Betsey instead ! Thanks again, and all the best, Anne

The wedges were just posted on Mod Cloth... too expensive! I love Betsey and would love to stimulate its economy but I can't at these prices :(

Local ties in Haiti remain strong
By Donna Vickroy email@example.com February 23, 2012 9:38PM
Antoine Jean (left) translates a letter from Ruby Grzesiak to John Rodney Pierre (center) as John Shattuck looks on at St. Helene's. Grzesiak's father, Ray, sponsors the boy. | Matt Marton~Sun-Times Media
How to
help Haiti
Burial pall and clothing workshops are scheduled for Zion Lutheran Church in Tinley Park on March 15, at St. Dennis Church in Lockport on March 21 and at St. Damian School in Oak Forest on April 13. For a complete schedule, contact Elizabeth Wisnasky at (708) 717-9818. The group needs fabric, elastic and Velcro, which can be dropped off at St. Elizabeth Seton Church, 9300 W. 167th St., Orland Hills.
Mona Purdy, founder and CEO of Share Your Soles, will be heading to remote regions of Haiti March 1 with 5,000 to 6,000 pairs of shoes.
For more information
on that program, visit
Sue and Ken Gross, on behalf of Christ Lutheran Church in Orland Park, are hoping to send college students to Jeremie and Lakie, Haiti, to teach English this summer. For more information on
their efforts, visit www.christlutheranchurch.org.
And little Calei Clark, of Lockport, continues to collect shoes to be shipped to Haiti. Her mom, Jeni Clark, says new and used shoes can be dropped off at Lemont Montessori School, 16427 W. 135th St., Lemont, (815) 834-0607; Marchio Tile & Carpet, 910 S.

We no sooner went looking for 7-year-old John Rodney Pierre on the grounds of St. Helene orphanage than we found him rounding a corner, walking with friends.
He was sporting a red sweat shirt, blue jeans and light blue Crocs, and once John Shattuck told him the news that he had new sponsors in New Lenox, Ray and Kate Grzesiak, a big smile as well.
Grzesiak, who owns several Charter Fitness gyms in the Chicago area, had visited Haiti with Shattuck a year ago. He was so moved by the experience that he decided to become a "godparent" to one of the orphans.
Shattuck, a Frankfort businessman, got to deliver the news, along with a packet of letters and good wishes from Grzesiak's four biological children, Jillian, Ruby, Leo and Phebe.
A few days before we left for Port-au-Prince, we got a call from Elizabeth Haulcy of University Park. She, too, sponsors an orphan at St. Helene in Kenscoff.
"Would it be possible for you to deliver a toy to her while you're there?" she asked. She also sent us with a card for her sponsored child and a bag of suckers for her friends.
When we found 9-year-old Michelda Archelus and gave her the doll, she answered with a shy, "Merci." She hugged the doll and then handed it to a group of girls, each of them taking a turn at embracing it.
The ties connecting Haiti to Chicago's south and southwest suburbs are not only many, they are strong.
Student artwork from Centennial School in Orland Park hangs in the Rev. Rick Frechette's office at St. Damien Pediatric Hospital in Tabarre. John Shattuck's wife, Toni, is a special-needs teaching assistant at the school and sends her husband to the island with handfuls of child-made well wishes.
When teachers at Millennium School in Tinley Park learned we were visiting orphans, they had students make Valentines.
Upon learning of our impending trip, teachers in Community High School District 218 quickly assigned students to write letters and stories in French, the official language that Haitians learn in school. Many of the Eisenhower, Richards and Shepard students and staff also filled boxes with school supplies, T-shirts, toys and coloring books, which we delivered to the orphans at St. Helene and to the children who reside in the Angels of Light program. Both programs are run by Nuestros Pequenos Hermanos, a nonprofit organization that tends to the needs of orphans and abandoned children in nine impoverished countries.
Each distribution was like Christmas morning. Children patiently waited for a toy, shirt, card or letter. We were worried we wouldn't have enough, but the teachers who took charge of disseminating the materials weren't concerned at all.
"All of our children share," assured instructor after instructor. No truer words were spoken.
Soccer balls and toy cars were handed to particular children, who played with the items for a few minutes and then handed them to someone else for a turn.
It was amazing to see so much joy.
And that is what keeps Shattuck coming back time after time.
He's now gearing up to fill and ship his 23rd cargo container. This time, he's sending mostly medical supplies but is also looking for contributions of tools and musical instruments. To make a donation or for more information, call (815) 793-5935.

The property was clean and a good price with a nice pool, workout room and was close to eating and shopping.
Great staff, rooms and value
January 08, 2015
I have been staying here for the past 3 months, one more month to go. The staff is very friendly and helpful and will go out of their way for their guests. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. The only complaint I have is the cable TV. I saw a review 1 month before I checked in and someone complained that the digital channels, which is almost all of them, did not work. I figured it would be sorted out before I checked in but it was not. I have called and reported the issues a few times and was told it is the cable companies fault. Normally I would not care but I am staying here for 4 months so having good cable is important. Maybe call the cable company and get this sorted instead of waiting for them to fix it, if they get around to it. Other than that, I have enjoyed my stay.
Great stay
January 07, 2015
I booked reward nights at this hotel. They let us check in very early. I made special requests for room location, we wanted to be close to an exit traveling with our pups.
The room was prepared by Dory and was very clean and comfortable. All staff were very friendly and helpful.

When Public Enemy denounces malt liquor in ''One Million Bottlebags,'' the band means business. Claiming copyright infringement and violation of his publicity rights, Chuck D filed a $5 million lawsuit Aug. 28 against San Francisco's McKenzie River Corp., maker of St. Ides malt liquor, over a radio ad that sampled his voice. The ad inserts ''St. Ides'' into a Chuck D lyric, ''the incredible (St. Ides) No. 1,'' from ''Bring the Noise.'' ''It's unconscionable,'' says the rapper's attorney, Lisa Davis. ''He has taken a very strong position against malt liquor, and these ads make him look like a hypocrite.'' According to McKenzie River chief executive Minott Wessinger, the company ''was unaware Chuck D's voice was in the ad, which was produced independently, and withdrew the spot'' before the suit was filed. The TV, radio, and poster campaign uses a number of rappers, including Rakim and EPMD, but primarily Ice Cube (the ad with Chuck D's voice features Ice Cube's rapped endorsement of St. Ides).
Although the ads play on black-radio outlets such as New York's WBLS and Los Angeles' KJLH, McKenzie River claims it doesn't target blacks in particular. Say Wessinger, ''Ice Cube's appeal is broad scale, and there's a similarly broad market for malt liquor.'' However, blacks buy 75 percent of all malt liquor, which has up to twice the alcohol of beer.

In hindsight, the global financial turmoil and the consequent apathy among corporate tenants to go for upgrades may be the best thing to happen to Abu Dhabi's office space. It works like this: by staying put in their existing locations through 2009, they now have an opportunity to seek the crème de la crème of new office stock getting ready this year.
"As more Grade A and B supply enters the market, companies will start to relocate to higher quality space," says Jesse Downs, director of research & advisory services at Landmark Advisory. "However, due to logistical and current economic concerns, we expect such relocation will happen gradually over the next 12 to 18 months."
Based on present estimates, Abu Dhabi should see a doubling of quality office space by 2012, of which one-fifth will enter the market this year itself according to Landmark Advisory. This will soften the existing high rentals, but primarily in the Grade C category.
Declining rents
During 2009, office rentals in Dubai have dropped a lot more, by 60 per cent, than in undersupplied Abu Dhabi. Even then, average rent for offices per square foot in the capital declined by 25 per cent to around Dh2,800 from their peaks, according to the latest data from Jones Lang LaSalle.
This being the case, corporate tenants will do well to shed their caution and check out the options coming through over the next few months. "Shortage of quality accommodation is suppressing total demand in Abu Dhabi as it resulted in many companies taking a small presence in this market," opines Piers Barttelot, director of agency, Abu Dhabi - Jones Lang LaSalle.
"The back-office and other support facilities are being housed in Dubai where there is a much greater range of high quality office accommodation for lease."
CB Richard Ellis recognises that demand has declined because of the global economic downturn. However, it expects businesses to re-examine the market and expand or relocate from sub-standard accommodation into new Grade 'A' space when it becomes available.
"We expect latent demand from within Abu Dhabi to be strong in 2010-11, with the addition of new players entering the market over the same period," says Richard Foulds, director and head of Abu Dhabi as well as director of leasing at CB Richard Ellis Middle East. "There is also evidence of new international occupiers looking at the market for the first time."
Whetting the appetite
Some Grade 'A' office buildings did enter the Abu Dhabi marketplace last year itself, but these premises were mainly purpose-built for government bodies and not for wider commercial release. This has only served to whet the appetite for more.
"Demand from other international and regional private companies remains low, many tenants are unwilling to commit now, in a market where a lot of buildings are not 'fit for purpose'," Barttelot notes.
They would much rather seek short -term extensions to their existing leases. The strategy is to delay an expansion and the consequent larger capital commitments this would bring in its wake. These corporate tenants would, it is believed, wait until more office stock comes onto the market between now and 2012, when the expected doubling in such capacity should see more competitive terms. Jones Lang LaSalle's research forecasts around 3.4 million square metres of office space, up from the current 1.5 million, by 2013 across Abu Dhabi. However, in the medium term, Jones Lang LaSalle contends it would mainly be Grade 'B' stock when measured against international standards.
But there are many that will be more than a match for the best-of-breed office developments anywhere in the world. Such prestige projects such as Mubadala's Al Sowwah Island, to be the new Central Business District comes complete with a new stock exchange, Adnec's Capital District and others are sure to provide the desired Grade 'A' capacity. But these are still a few years away.
More immediate openings include a couple of high-rises by the third quarter of this year in the Corniche area around 32nd street, Emirates Palace and the highly sought after Khalidiya area, points out Adel Hamaizia, business development manager at RE/MAX Abu Dhabi.
"They fetch between Dh2,000 and Dh3,200 a square metre, while the majority of commercial space goes for Dh1,200 to Dh2,500," he adds.
Hamaizia reckons that the present gross yields — anything from nine to 17 per cent, with an average initial yield of 10.98 per cent — in the commercial sector in Abu Dhabi make for good business. This compares to the average yield in Dubai of 9.87 per cent, 10.38 per cent for MENA, London's 5.5 per cent and New York's 7.3 per cent. And he believes the demand is there.
"One trend that I have witnessed personally is a large amount of enquiries, approximately 70 per cent, for business centres. Particularly from small start-ups and companies from abroad that plan to set up an office or branch in the capital."
The preference is for hassle-free space near the airport. This sure bodes well for projects such as the advantageously placed ADNEC's Capital Centre.
However, Jones Lang LaSalle does not envisage the first spaces will be delivered before 2014 to 2015.
There may be one exception: ADNEC's very own Capital Gate. It can't be missed when passing by — the leaning and curved design already shimmers proudly in its recently completed glass façade.
There are other quality office properties coming on-line over the next two years, notably the Trust Tower and the TDIC/ADTA headquarters, the latter set for completion sometime in 2011.
This is one property that will be difficult to miss out on. Aldar's new corporate headquarters building will host its fair share of third-party corporate tenants as well when it opens this quarter.
Of course the design demands attention, but so does the fact that it provides office space in category 'A' condition. The definition being not just the usual shell and core, but a suspended ceiling with integral light and air conditioning system in place together with a raised floor.
"This level of handover condition provides the incoming tenant with substantial cost and time savings in respect of their individual fit out programme," enthuses Piers Barttelot, director of agency, Abu Dhabi - Jones Lang LaSalle.
Aldar's HQ comes with a competitive edge
This makes Aldar's HQ one of a handful of buildings in Abu Dhabi to provide such an enhanced level of office space. "Many tenants would prefer to lease space completed to category 'A' condition, and the Aldar HQ will therefore have a competitive advantage over existing projects in Abu Dhabi," adds Barttelot.The preference is certainly there, but will companies be willing to pay the price? "The anticipated handover of Aldar's HQ will be an interesting test case," remarks Jesse Downs, director of Landmark Advisory's research & advisory Services.
"With initial asking prices of Dh2,750 to Dh3,000 a square metre, the rates are relatively high. Of course, these rates depend on the terms of the contract and other extenuating circumstances."
Office units in the Aldar HQ are large, the smallest being 600 square metres. Large floor plates and longer term leases are just what corporate tenants have long been crying out for. However, this does not necessarily mean that prospective tenants are quite yet ready to storm the building, Downs says.
"Given current cost sensitivities and preferences for smaller units, we expect leasing velocity to remain low. Especially while the vast majority of the master development is still under construction."
It's great to have the perfect office premises, but being able to get there is equally important.
"Parking in Abu Dhabi is a hot topic, as is traffic and access to and from the office locations," says Richard Foulds, director, head of Abu Dhabi and director of leasing at CB Richard Ellis Middle East.
"New buildings will have to meet the Urban Planning Council parking guidelines and public transport needs to be, and is being, improved."

"Lincoln" landed a leading 10 BAFTA nominations Wednesday including Best Picture, but helmer Steven Spielberg was snubbed. Likewise for Tom Hooper who directed rival Best Picture nominee "Les Miserables," which earned nine nods. Both men were nominated by the DGA on Tuesday.
The other three DGA contenders were cited by BAFTA for their films which round out the Best Picture race: Ang Lee ("Life of Pi," 9 bids); Ben Affleck ("Argo," 7) and Kathryn Bigelow ("Zero Dark Thirty," 5). (See complete list of nominations here)
The Best Director roster also includes Michael Haneke ("Amour," 4 noms) and Quentin Tarantino ("Django Unchained," 5).
"Skyfall," which tops the UK's all-time box office, did not make the cut for Best Picture, which is limited to five unlike the Oscars which may go as high as 10. This 23rd installment in the Bond franchise numbers nods for Best British Film as well as featured players Javier Bardem and Judi Dench among its eight. That is one less than Daniel Craig's first foray as Bond in "Casino Royale" (2006) which earned him a Best Actor bid.
Dench, a BAFTA darling, was snubbed for her leading performance in "Best Exotic Marigold Hotel." Indeed, that film, a dark horse in the Oscars Best Picture race, was shut out save for a Best British Film bid.
Other surprises include:
Affleck being nommed for Best Actor (his first such recognition of the season) over Denzel Washington ("Flight") who has never contended here;
A strong showing by "Anna Karenina" (six noms including Best British Film);
Naomi Watts snubbed in Best Actress for "The Impossible;
Leonardo DiCaprio snubbed in Supporting Actor in favor of "Django" co-star Christoph Waltz; and
"Beasts of the Southern Wild" reaping Adapted Screenplay bid over "Skyfall."
This year, BAFTA did away with the long lists that preceded the final nominations and restructured the nomination process to be more like that of the Oscars. Winners will be revealed on Feb. 10, right in the middle of Oscar voting.
All BAFTA members cast nomination ballots for Best Picture and the four performance prizes. Chapters (akin to the academy's branches) determined the nominees for a slew of creative categories -- Adapted Screenplay and Original Screenplay; Cinematography; Costume Design; Director; Editing; Make-Up & Hair; Original Music; Production Design; Sound; and Special Visual Effects.
The membership as a whole will vote on the winners of all these races. Members could opt in to chapters and vote for the nominees and winners of the feature prizes for: Animation, British; Documentary; and Foreign-language.
Last year, "The Artist" won seven of its leading 12 BAFTA bids -- Best Picture, Director & Original Screenplay (Michel Hazanavicius), Actor (Jean Dujardin), Cinematography, Costume Design and Score. It repeated in all these races but screenplay and cinematography at the Oscars.
"Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy," which was second with 11 nominations, had to settle for Adapted Screenplay and Best British Film. Two of the other five films up for Best Picture -- "The Descendants" (3 noms), and "Drive" (4) -- were shut out while "The Help" won just one of its five races -- Supporting Actress (Octavia Spencer); she also claimed the Oscar.
"The Iron Lady" won two of its three bids: Best Actress (Meryl Streep) and Makeup and repeated with both at the Oscars.
"Hugo," which reaped nine nods but was snubbed in the top race, won two as well -- Production Design and Sound. It won both those plus Cinematography, Sound Mixing and Visual Effects at the Oscars.
Christopher Plummer ("Beginners") became the oldest BAFTA acting champ with his Supporting Actor win for "Beginnners" before doing the same at the Oscars.
Film: Tom O'Neil (Gold Derby) only one to go 5/5
TV: Joyce Eng (TV Guide), Tariq Khan (Fox News), Paul Sheehan (Gold Derby) tops
Film: See how you scored

I planted a 1ft-2ft superberry black mulberry tree back in late March. I give it 1gal/day of water. Though it looks healthy, it has not grown vertically any. There are plenty of green healthy little leaves, but not upward growth. Has anyone planted such a small mulberry before? What type of fertilizer should I be throwing to it? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi poolecw, From what I've read,Black Mulberries are slow growers. I have a Black Beauty that was planted about a year ago and it's not too much taller now.It has lots of leaves and some fruit,but has grown maybe 6-8 inches. Maybe it wlll grow according to the saying,"first year sleep,second year creep,third year leap". The first year I used Citrustone,but now it's some 20-20-20 that's on hand,1st time Feb-March,2nd time May,3rd time late July-Aug.I don't think they are too particular about fertilizer and 10-10-10 is probably okay. Brady |
I fertilized my mulberry with Ironite Plus to get them moving this first year. They all arrived as young whips and seemed to me to be stunted but since giving them the ironite each of the five have grown several feet and put out multiple branches. The ironite helped my trees put out the grow I was looking for and may work for you as well. |
Well I stopped in at my local nursery today. The owner suggested that I use some basic tree and shrub feed. We'll see how well the young plant likes it. What about water? Is one gallon per day too much? |
Irrigation depends on how much evaporation there is and things like mulch. If it's in the ground and mulched,there probably won't be needed as much as when in a container. I usually feel down about three inches and if it feels dry,then water. Brady |

I can testify that Morus nigra is slow-growing. Since 2010 mine have put on at the most 6 inches of new growth per season. This is a fraction of what Morus alba will grow in my climate, but the nigra gradually fills in much more nicely, producing a thick trunk and branches, and of course those way tastier fruits. I've never fertilized mine, only mulched, and the foliage has always appeared healthy. |

Hey everyone - new member here.
I picked up a 22" Weedeater walk-behind from the curb a couple days ago, and today was the first time I actually got a chance to look it over. Off the bat, I noticed the air filter assembly was missing ($10 - no biggie). Otherwise, it looked fine. When I fired it up, however, I understood why they'd tossed it. As soon as it started (which it had no problem doing), it began spray what appeared to be a gas/oil mix out of the muffler (see included picture), along with smoking like crazy. The smoke leveled off after a minute, but the spray continued. I'm not 100% sure there's oil in the spray, but it's dark gray in color, and is slightly slippery. The oil on the dipstick is somewhat watery, but that could possibly be chalked up to the previous owner's choice of oil. I've already pulled the tank and drained the fuel (a lot of sediment in the bottom). I'll also be draining/replacing the oil shortly. I'm inclined to think it's a bad gasket, but I'm far from an expert. I just fix these curb queens up and sell/donate them as a hobby. I've listed the specs below for reference: Weedeater Push Mower
Any suggestions/advice are appreciated. -Patrick |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Patrick.You could just try changing the oil and see if the smoke clears. Many times on these tho, the diaphragm that rests between the fuel tank and carb distorts- creating a rich condition causing rough running, excessive smoking etc. |
- Posted by SailorPaddy none (My Page) on Wed, Sep 5, 12 at 13:07
Tom, Thanks for the reply. Would a rich condition be enough to cause the spray from the muffler, especially with that amount? |
I'm guessin that somebody tipped the mower up the wrong way, and the muffler got filled up with oil. Change the oil, making sure the engine has the proper amount in it when you put in the fresh oil, then take 'er out in the back 40 and let 'er run for a good long time, (at least half an hour). That should clear out the muffler. Other than that, I can't think of any way that oil can be getting into the muffler, in such quantities, as to continue spraying non stop. HEY, at least you'll keep the skeeters away for a while. |
- Posted by bill_kapaun Z8 Orygun (My Page) on Wed, Sep 5, 12 at 19:34
The actual MODEL & TYPE numbers of the engine would be useful to determine exactly which engine/carb etc. you have. http://www.outdoordistributors.com/Briggs_And_Stratton/briggsmodelid.html Your symptom sounds more typical of a bowl type carb with a leaking needle & seat assembly, allowing gasoline to run through the carb and into the crankcase when the engine is OFF.. |

The Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped into negative territory, led byAlcoa [AA 9.54 -0.06 (-0.62%)] and ExxonMobil [XOM 82.97 -0.91 (-1.08%) ], following four straight sessions of declines.
The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq also turned negative. The CBOE Volatility Index, widely considered the best gauge of fear in the market, edged above 19.

After a very healthy 10 years in business, our mission at Steaz is clearer than ever. We're now focused exclusively on organic green-tea based beverages. To celebrate this new clarity, Steaz is launching a revitalized visual profile across all our packaging.
Steaz started out as a grassroots company with a powerful vision: to deliver great tasting, healthy beverages that benefit people, the planet, and profits for our Fair Trade Farmers. Ten years on, and we're still making spectacular beverages that do good things for mind, body, and soul.
In those ten years, we've had plenty of opportunity to grow and evolve our products. And all along, we've listened closely to what our loyal community of 'Steazers' had to say.
The new green tea-focused product line reflects that ongoing evolution. And the new packaging aesthetic brings a whole new vitality to the line.
Now, every Steaz product clearly belongs to the same vision. The new look has been applied to our entire product line - Sparkling Green Tea, Energy, E-Shot, and Regular and Zero Iced Tea.
We love how vivid the new look is. The intense colors and natural elements like green leaves and fruit give new life to the can. It was all hand-illustrated, so the aesthetic has a truly human touch - and a lively, thirst-quenching feel. The effect feels soft and alive, but intensely vibrant. It's nature itself - only better! Just like Steaz.
We're all very excited for the future of Steaz. Here's to another 10 years delivering healthy beverages that nourish mind, body, and soul.

The certified tanning techs at iBeach Tan are trained to carry out a range of UV and sunless bronzing treatments to keep your skin looking bronzed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The studio features four levels of UV beds housed in brightly colored private rooms. During spray-tan sessions, custom combinations of Norvell bronzing agents and hydration formulas leave skin with a healthy glow. The formula also helps to disguise fine lines caused by sun exposure and hugs from corduroy salesmen. The shop also stocks moisturizers and tanning lotions to help deepen and extend the life of tans, and you can get frequent access to its tanning facilities in a variety of membership programs.
The tanning professional at Mobile Airbrush Tan ATX takes her talents on the road as she travels to clients' homes to keep them looking sun-kissed. Although clients may choose to get their airbrush tan in the shower, the technician comes prepared with a retractable tent specifically for spray tanning and enough shower caps to protect the hair of one person or an entire sorority house. She uses a special tanning solution that is 100% gluten-free, organic, not tested on animals, and safe enough for pregnant women and Hummel figurines.
The staff at Darque Tan learned the science of tanning through Smart Tan certification, which they rely on to design efficient, safe regimes for each client's skin type. Five levels of PCTan beds and booths can bronze skin with as few as 12 minutes of UV exposure while enveloping skin in cooling mist. Automated airbrush tanning in VersaSpa or Mystic Tan booths create even, natural-looking color that masks scars and stretch marks. Darque Tan's pursuit of convenience is further exemplified with business hours that span seven days a week, a minimum of 20 beds per location, and rec rooms where kids can read and watch TV. A crew of professional cleaners details each of the facilities according to a rigorous 50-point inspection and tips gleaned from reading Mr. Clean's LiveJournal.
At Gtans, visitors have a wide variety of options when it comes to achieving a deep, even tan. A lineup of UV tanning beds ranges in tanning levels, so visitors can achieve color in as little as eight minutes, and both standup and standard beds are available. For those opting to go UV-free, choose from either Mystic HD or custom airbrush tans. The automated Mystic HD booth offers varies hues as well as tan extenders, so bodies stay bronzed through all of Texas's seasons?summer and bluebonnet season.
A recent addition to the Austin community, X-Treme Tan pairs its bronzing services with a mission to educate locals on the importance of living a healthy lifestyle. An array of tanning beds ranging from levels 1–5 are available to guests and geared toward various skin types and goals. The Level 5 Matrix basks bodies in the maximum 33,00 watts of of sun-imitating power and is the only machine of its kind in the area. Each bed and stand-up pod graces torsos and limbs with color in sessions that last 20 minutes or less. For those who prefer to stay vertical, a Level 4 Quantum standup booth shades skin in 10 minutes with a fleet of 51 refractor bulbs. Light-shy folk and Greta Garbo impersonators will favor custom spray tans. The formulas by Norvell Skin Solutions offer clients a choice of different shades to match their skin's undertone and are applied by Cedar Park's only Norvell-certified airbrush technicians. X-Treme Tan has won a number of accolades, being described as "best of the best" by HillCountryNews.com, and "Best of ATX" by K.V.U.E. News..
Professionally trained in the art of ultraviolet light, the staff at Aruba Tan is full of experts when it comes to sunless tanning and infrared saunas. Armed with an array of lie-down tanning beds that range in intensity, technicians work with each guest to ensure that they tan safely based on their skin type and the extent to which they wish to mock ancient sun gods. In addition to the beds, techs also transform alabaster skinscapes into bronzed masterpieces with a variety of spray-tanning services. During these treatments, they douse skin in a steady stream of instantly drying solutions that adhere to superficial proteins in the skin and downshift the hues. Beyond tanning services, the studio also helps guests detoxify, ease pain, and boost weight-loss programs with their namesake smartsweat infrared-saunas, which send beams of heat energy deep into skin to help mend a range of bodily issues.

text: | Dáil Éireann - Volume 369 - 22 October, 1986 Written Answers. - Low Interest Loans. Mr. MacSharry Mr. MacSharry 392. Mr. MacSharry asked the Minister for Agriculture if he plans to act on the proposals recently submitted to him to alter a new £35 million Euro Currency loan to assist young farmers willing and able to diversify into new enterprises. Mr. MacSharry Mr. MacSharry 393. Mr. MacSharry asked the Minister for Agriculture given the Agricultural Institute's warnings in early September that unless lower interest rates are available to farmers, it will be virtually impossible to get meaningful development in the vital cattle and beef sector to compensate for the decline in milk output, if he agrees in the interests of the long term development in the sector given falling farmer incomes, that it is vital that the Government take action to increase the availability of low-interest loans to the beef sector; and if he will make a statement on the matter. Minister for Agriculture (Mr. Deasy) Austin Deasy Minister for Agriculture (Mr. Deasy): I propose to take Questions Nos. 392 and 393 together. 218 Under the two exchange rate guarantee schemes a total of £235 million is being made available at attractive low [218] rates of interest in respect of both new working capital requirements and existing debts. The interest rates on the loans concerned, which can be up to £50,000, depend on the rate at which EMS currencies can be borrowed abroad but should be of the order of 5.5 per cent. The schemes provide loans at exceptionally favourable interest rates for a wide range of farmers and farming activities, including beef production. Young farmers, along with other farmers, are eligible to participate in the schemes and receive the substantial benefits that are available. Dáil Éireann 369 Written Answers. Low Interest Loans.
