First time MRE user.
I have never tried a MRE before. Was a little hesitant. But I tried one of these emergency backup meals today for lunch. I was pleasantly surprised with how tasty and filling it was. I tried it cold and heated. Good either way. These are perfect for camping or for getting prepared. Packaged nicely. Have already ordered 12 more meals to store for future use. A+
Posted on 10/24/12 by Jay
Wow really good food!!
We were impressed with the food, Both price and quality and we were amazed by everything we got in just one package. Also I was pleasantly surprised by the nice mix of meat and non-meat meals, I was glad to see some vegetarian alternatives. I bought 24 meals and over all received a really good assortment of meals. The food was easy to fix and very filling. Totally blown away at how good the food tasted!!! I had read the other reviews and that is why I decided to try these but wow very good!!! We will definitely use these for camping trips and backpacking trips in the future, as well as survival food.

Great Food!
I order some MRE's to try out. I was pleasantly surprise by my whole order. I was kinda skeptical about the whole thing. I am 100% percent satisfied. Although I bought some MRE's that needed to be heated, I still tried them cold. Because more than likely I might not have time to warm them up. Anyway so good....I am placing a second order today. I really like the food. I have price shopped and this site is the best site as far as the shipping and prices on item. I am very frugal, so take my word for it....the prices are good on my items I bought.
Posted on 6/29/11 by Vanessa
real good
Real good, I only ordered 3 of them because it was my first time buying an mre and let me tell you, They were real good. I plan on buying more then 3 soon. I may buy 24 of these and the 3 day mre kit. But these taste just as good as a home cooked meal, Ive had a 15 year old mre a friend had giving me a few days after i bought these and it tasted fresh. These really are good too hang on to!!!!!!!!
Posted on 6/29/10 by Paul
These are not bad, and way better than the old "K" and "C" rations (try lugging THOSE on a hike!). Lightweight, very filling. No matter how much you burn off, you're still full. The "heaters" are great if you live in an area where you're forced to go all-electric, and the power goes out. No cold meals here! Great addition to the emergency storage, for backpacking (no lugging mini propane stoves and bottles!), for traveling (especially when there are no services!).
Posted on 4/12/10 by Walter
I recently tried one of the EBM's and was pleasantly surprised with the ease of preparing it and the taste was excellent. I thought the heaters were excellent also, not like some reviews I have read about leaks, etc. I have ordered 12 more and plan to always to keep these complete meals on hand. Thanks for a job well done.

EBM's for the RV
I ordered 20 of these to keep in the family RV for the kids when we go on long trips. The kids enjoyed them and the variety, they especially like the pound cake and jam and also the drink mix. I intend on buying more to keep at our families property and more to go in the RV. They are affordable, easy to prepare and very tasty.

text: if youve been around these parts for a while, you know i absolutely love boston's hallelujah the hills. their 2012 release, no one knows what happens next, is one of those records that just grows and grows and grow. it was already one of my favorite records from last year, but ill be damned if it aint something ill be listening to for years to come. they put out a collection record this year, which is also great, called portrait of the artist as a young trashcan which features one of my favorite songs of the year, "three minute mark," and you can check it out down there. they just did a kickstarter for their 2014 record, do you have romantic courage, which is due out in may. i dont care what else comes out next year, but this is probably my most anticipated.

This may be a naive question, but I have a pot of spring bulbs that were pre-forced, and have now finished blooming. I was wondering if there's any way to store the bulbs and get a "repeat" next winter. It's not practical for me to put them in the garden, which would be the wrong time of year now anyway. Or will I just have to throw them out?
Thanks, Judy |

You could let the leaves shrivel, get them out of the dirt and store them for the summer to try and force them next winter...but tulips need mother natures' cold season to produce blooms the next season, so you would have to chill them. For me.. that is too much work and after all of that, it doesn't mean you will positivly get blooms. I always just put the whole pot (just the bulbs and spoil)in the ground in the Spring (I know, wrong time of year but they always come back the following spring. I bury it deeper than how they grew and have had great success. So yes, you can store them if you have the ambition but hopefully someone else will chime in about chilling them for next season's blooms. Keriann |

Why would spring be the wrong time of year to put these in the ground? In many places, they sell pots of started bulbs in spring for those who never got around to planting the actual bulbs in fall......they return faithfully, just as a fall planted bulb would. Bulbs will always "store" better in the ground than in any other conditions most of us can provide----it really doesn't matter all that much when they are planted. Keep the soil in the container just barely moist and leave all the foliage intact to ripen naturally. When your soil is workable, go ahead and plant outdoors in a suitable location. You will want to plant deeper than they are in the container and in well drained soiland in an area that does not get a lot of summer irrigation - dormant bulbs like to be on the dry side. Forced bulbs often take some time to 'recharge' so flowering may not be prolific the next season. If you can't plant outdoors, I'd suggest you just toss them. It is difficult for homeowners to provide the storage conditions necessary to maintain the bulbs' vigor for an entire season out of the ground and already forced bulbs complicate this even further. |
You don't say what bulbs these are. I always put hyacinths and narcissus straight out into the garden after they've finished flowering indoors. Just dig a hole and put the entire root mass into it while the foliage is still green. Tulips don't work so well for me. It will depend on where you live and what bulbs you have as to whether they will do well outside. |

I am also confused why early spring would be the wrong time of year to put bulbs in the ground, particularly since you are in a temperate zone where it gets cold enough to naturally refrigerate the bulbs. The only real problem with pre-forced bulbs is that they may have not got enough nutrients in the pot, and half-starved bulbs may not bloom the next year. Also tulips specifically are unlikely to bloom 2-3 years in a row regardless of treatment. |
I do as Flora does. I have only forced hyacinths (or bought them forced) then planted them out as soon as I could, like April. They have all come back. |
Thanks to everyone for your helpful responses. The pot had 3 tulips, a few mini narcissi, a hyacinth, and some crocuses. They were lovely and cheered us for a few weeks in dreary February here. We have a tiny, mostly shaded, garden, and a few of our garden bulbs have started to peek through, but no real room or place for the little pot. So I decided to chuck it, but now know more about the subject. |

One of the most dangerous types of cloud-to-ground lightning are bolts from the blue. A "Bolt from the Blue" is a cloud-to-ground lighting flash that typically:
These lightning flashes have been documented to travel more than 25 miles away from the thunderstorm cloud (see the "LDAR" discussion below). Bolt from the Blue lightning flashes are a particularly dangerous type of lightning flash, as they appear to come out of clear sky. This type of lightning is why it is dangerous to be outside when thunderstorms are in the region, even when skies are still clear. Lightning can, and does, strike many miles away from the thunderstorm cloud itself. It is a good idea to wait 30 minutes or more after the rain ends before resuming outdoor activities.
Special thanks to Robert Prentice and Al Moller for allowing me to use their photos.
The image below is a "bolt from the blue" detected by a lightning detection system which observes lightning in 3 dimensions. (This 3D lightning detection system is called "LDAR"; see below). The colored dots represent the lightning channel of a cloud-to-ground lighning flash that struck in east central Florida. Note how this flash travelled to the east 40 KILOMETERS (~25 miles) in less than 1 second, and then struck the ground! (note distance on horizontal axis in upper left box, time is upper right box). This flash struck very close to the National Weather Service office in Melbourne, FL. At the time of the flash, the skies where mostly sunny at Melbourne. The storm was about 35 kilometers to the west of Melbourne (Note: ~1.6 Kilometers = 1 Mile).
Below are two other examples of Bolt from the Blue. The first image showed a bolt from the blue which occurred near the Kennedy Space Center, FL. This flash is overlayed on radar data collected near the time of the flash. Note how the flash travels away from the radar reflectivity into clear air. This flash travelled about 6 kilometeres in clear air before hitting the ground. The small white "x" marks the location of where the cloud to ground lightning flash hit the ground. The second flash is similar to the the KSC data, but was collected from a storm which formed in NE Colorado during the STEPS experiment.
Lightning and radar data for July 11, 2000 for a storm on the Colorado and Kansas border during the STEPS experiment. Image courtesy of Dr Bill Rison of New Mexico Tech and Daniel W. Breed Project Scientist at NCAR's Research Applications Laboratory. Bolts from the Blue are obviously dangerous to the general public as they can strike many miles away from the thunderstorm.

Vitamin Statistics and International Vitamin Trends
By: Samantha Chmelik
Posted: November 19, 2010, from the December 2010 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
Following are vitamin statistics and international vitamin trends from Euromonitor International. To read the full article on vitamins and the spa, check out Samatha Chmelik's article from the December 2010 issue.
U.S. vitamin stats
Since 2004, the top five dietary supplements by retail value sales in U.S. dollars have remained remarkably constant; calcium supplements and minerals supplements remained No. 1 and No. 2, respectively. Fish oils, glucosamine and probiotic supplements fluctuated in their top five rankings throughout the 2004–2009 time period. Co-enzyme Q10, eye-health supplements, garlic, ginkgo biloba, ginseng, protein powder and royal jelly all appeared in the remainder of the top 10 during the same time period. Global sales of vitamins are also unvarying during the 2004–2009 time period.
Multivitamins are the No. 1 type of vitamin sold, with sales usually four times that of the No. 2 vitamin—vitamin B. Vitamin C is in third place, with triple the sales of fourth place vitamin E. In recent years, vitamins A and K have alternated for fifth place, while vitamin D lags in seventh place. However, vitamin D had the highest growth rate in 2009 at 38.7%. Vitamins are flexible, popular products, valued as supplements and ingredients.
International vitamin trends
Consumers throughout the world are still most familiar with vitamins and dietary supplements as pills, and the marketing or positioning of supplements is a critical factor in their success. Local attitudes toward health and beauty drive that marketing or positioning.
France, the exemplar country for fashion and beauty, prefers vitamins and dietary supplements positioned for specific health problems, rather than products marketed as general beauty solutions. Probiotics for the immune system and cranberries for urinary tract problems enjoyed ongoing double-digit current value growth in 2009. The aging French population was also attracted to joint-health products, such as glucosamine and shark cartilage. Consumers rejected products that were simply promoted for beauty. For example, Laboratoire Oenobiol enjoyed impressive growth in its dermo-cosmetic products, while the sales of its brands with a beauty positioning declined.

Cabinet candidates seem assured of re-election yet still build war chests
10/25/14ElectionsTALLAHASSEE — Both Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam and Chief Financial Officer Jeff Atwater are shoo-ins for re-election on Nov. 4.
But that hasn't stopped either man from major fundraising efforts: Each candidate is headed toward more than $3 million in campaign contributions.
The heavy hauls may be a sign of their larger ambitions.
"Putnam especially has been moving very aggressively toward a governor's run (in 2018)," Miami pollster and Florida International University professor Dario Moreno said. "He's raising money. He's going to meetings of Republicans across the state. He's reaching out to Republican leadership."...
More than 1 million Floridians have cast ballots by mail or early voting
10/21/14 State RoundupMore than 1 million Floridians have cast pre-Election Day ballots now that early in-person voting began Monday while mail-in absentee ballots continue to pour in.
Right now, it looks like good news for Republicans. They're still out-voting Democrats, who tend to dominate early voting just as Republicans do at absentee voting.
"The first day of early voting is in the books, and Charlie Crist's campaign is in complete meltdown," Gov. Rick Scott's deputy campaign manager, Tim Saler, wrote in a memo Tuesday morning to donors....
For the 6th time, at least, Rick Scott tells us there was $80 million in the budget for cancer funding
10/21/14 BlogGov. Rick Scott sure does love telling people about the $80 million in cancer center funding included in the 2014-15 budget that he signed into law earlier this year.
H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa will get $25.5 million, the University of Miami's Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center will receive $16 million and the University of Florida Health Cancer Center gets $18.5 million. Combined with another $20 million in state dollars for two cancer research grant programs, and that adds up to $80 million in state dollars for cancer research....

The Money Race: Crist fundraising outpaces Scott 6-to-1
10/20/14 BlogCharlie Crist collected $6 for every $1 donated to Gov. Rick Scott during the most recent campaign finance reporting period covering Oct. 4 through Oct. 10.
Scott's campaign and political committees raised just $606,656 in cash and in-kind services, compared to Crist's $3.2 million. This allowed Crist to move much closer to Scott in the amount of cash he has on hand to spend in the final two weeks of campaigning....
Chief financial officer
10/16/14KycChief financial officer
Chief financial officer Jeff Atwater seems all but assured re-election. His opponent, Democrat William Rankin, struggles to raise money, has no name recognition and is getting no help from the state party. The bigger question seems to be if Atwater is laying the groundwork for a 2016 gubernatorial bid. By Tia Mitchell, Times/Herald Tallahassee Bureau
William "Will" Rankin, 54 Jeff Atwater, 56 Party Democrat Republican Experience Former director of asset management for Ohio State Treasury; 11 years in the U.S. Army; former Army criminal investigator; publisher of a lifestyle magazine Chief financial officer, 2011-present; State Senate president, 2008-2010; state senator, 2002-2010; Village of North Palm Beach vice mayor, 1993 ... Court ruling leaves Tampa Bay area state House election up in the air
10/16/14ElectionsTALLAHASSEE — A Florida appeals court ruled Thursday that a write-in candidate was wrongly disqualified from running for a Tampa Bay state House seat, likely cancelling a primary election for the second time.
Rep. Jamie Grant and fellow Republican Miriam Steinberg were supposed to face off in a primary on Nov. 4 that was open to all voters in House District 64, which includes parts of Hillsborough and Pinellas counties. With only two candidates, the primary — postponed from October over questions involving a write-in candidate — would have settled the question of who represents the district, which includes Carrollwood, Citrus Park, Oldsmar and Safety Harbor....
University of Florida president selected: Cornell provost W. Kent Fuchs
10/15/14CollegeTALLAHASSEE — Cornell University provost W. Kent Fuchs, who wasn't even a candidate until Friday, was chosen to become the 12th president of the University of Florida on Wednesday morning.
He expects to begin his new job in January, pending approval by the state Board of Governors in November.
Fuchs — pronounced "fox" — and New York University provost David W. McLaughlin were the two finalists who interviewed Wednesday morning. But the 59-year-old Fuchs' enthusiasm and Ivy League connections won out....
The Buzz: Bondi wants Florida Supreme Court to rule on gay marriage
10/14/14 State RoundupAttorney General Pam Bondi said Monday night that she wants the state Supreme Court to decide once and for all whether same-sex couples can marry in the Sunshine State.
"That is unquestionably an important issue, and the Plaintiffs, the State, and all citizens deserve a definitive answer," Bondi's office wrote in a filing to the state's 3rd District Court of Appeal. "Until recently, the issue was squarely before the United States Supreme Court, and it appeared that a definitive answer was coming. . . . Unfortunately, the United States Supreme Court decided not to answer the question."...
FSU trustees expected to approve Thrasher contract, $430K base salary on Monday
10/14/14 BlogA draft version of the contract between state Sen. John Thrasher and Florida State University shows that they have negotiated a five-year term starting Nov. 10.
The FSU Board of Trustees plans to meet via conference call Monday to discuss and likely approve the proposed contract. Thrasher, who expects to be re-elected to the Senate on Nov. 4, said he would step down from his Senate seat as soon as the Board of Governors confirms him. That formality should occur when the group meets Nov. 5 and 6....

Gov. Rick Scott's jobs incentive program still falling short of promises
10/11/14 BlogFrom Sunday's paper:
Gov. Rick Scott has used tax breaks and other incentives to attract tens of thousands of new jobs to Florida, but after nearly four years, most of the jobs still don't exist, according to state records.
Scott has built his case for a second term largely on the slow but steady improvement in the Florida economy, especially a drop in unemployment and growth in private sector jobs as measured by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics....

Invite participants to light a council candle from the chalice flame as they share. If there are not enough candles, it is OK to snuff out and re-light a candle. Save the candle of a different color for last. When all who want to share joys and concerns have done so, light this candle with the words, "For all the joys and concerns that remain unspoken."
If you are using a glass bowl, water, and stones instead of council candles, invite participants to drop a stone into the bowl when they share. End the sharing by adding one last stone for unspoken joys and concerns.
Extinguish the council candles. You may extinguish the chalice now, or after your closing ritual.
Close with an element (meditation, benediction, song) commonly used in your congregational worship services, or with one or more of the suggestions below. Base your choice(s) on the needs and energy level of your group. With your co-leaders, you may wish to choose the same ritual to close every session.
A. Lead the group in singing "Meditation on Breathing," Hymn 1009 in Singing the Journey: A Hymnbook Supplement to Singing the Living Tradition. Hear the simple tune online.
B. Have the group read in unison Reading 452 by Marjorie Montgomery in Singing the Living Tradition:
Life is a gift for which we are grateful.
We gather in community to celebrate
the glories
and mysteries
of this great gift.
C. Sing or say the words to "From You I Receive," Hymn 402 in Singing the Living Tradition using the movements introduced in Activity 3: Expression Music.
From you I receive
Scoop the air by reaching toward other participants, then bringing air toward yourself at chest level, that is, receiving it.
To you I give
Opposite from above — scoop the air at chest level and push it outward to "give" to other participants.
Together we share
All grasp hands.
By this we live
Make fists of strength with each hand and stack one hand on top of the other at belly button level.
D. Go around the circle — using the Tool of the Day as a talking stick again, if you like — and invite each participant to say one thing he/she will do between now and your next session that relates to promises, or covenants.
E. Sing a familiar song. Suggestions: "Thula Klizeo," Hymn 1056 in Singing the Journey; "I Know This Rose Will Open," Hymn 396 in Singing the Living Tradition; or "Rejoice in Love," Hymn 380 in Singing the Living Tradition.
F. Use this team spirit chant, "Pump It Up!"
Leader: Pump, pump, pump it up!
Group: Pump, pump, pump it up!
Leader: Pump that UU spirit up!
Group: Pump that UU spirit up!
Instead of "Pump it up!" you may use "Fire it up!" or "Keep it up!"
Pass the Tool of the Day around the circle and invite participants, one at a time, to voice a way they plan to use the quality of faith that was explored today. Guide them to say:
With my UU faith, I will . . .
Lead the group in responding to each participant's contribution:
Group: "Go, UU, go!"
If the chalice is still lit, extinguish it now.
Distribute Taking It Home handouts.
Thank and dismiss participants.

Peterbilt has added a compact space-saver battery box for the no-idle SmartAir system available on Model 579 trucks.
The space-saver battery boxes store Odessy absorbed glass mat batteries and can be mounted in two postions on the right-hand of the back of the cab or on the left-hand side on the back of the sleeper. The space-saver box is made of lightweight aluminum and is available with either an aluminum or composite cover.
"Offering the space-saver battery box option for our Model 579 minimizes the weight and further reduces what was already the industry's smallest footprint for a no-idle cooling system," says Landon Sproull, Peterbilt's chief engineer.
The SmartAir system is a no-idle cooling system which Peterbilt says can save in annual fuel costs, comply with anti-idle regulations and reduce a truck's carbon footprint.
It has a 7,500 BTU/Hour cooling capacity and can operate for up to 10 hours on a single charge. The SmartAir has a split-system design, which means the brushless condenser fan is remotely located in a low, central position outside the cab for optimum performance and maximum under-bunk storage capacity.
SmartAir is a factory-installed option. It fully integrates into the existing HVAC system and uses existing ducting for what Peterbilt says amounts to superior fit, finish and quality.

There's a sense of mystery about pantomime performers, which can evoke both playful and happy feelings, or something much darker and frightening, all of which is explored in these magical (and sometimes menacing) mime shoots.
From haute couture fashion editorials to darker themed photosets, all of these mime shoots have the power to enchant, entertain and scare. Whether it's Brandon Wilson impersonating the iconic mime Charlie Chaplin, or Querelle Jansen sporting a face of white makeup for Vogue Italia, I'm a huge mime-meets-fashion shoots enthusiast, as the makeup turns the model into almost an anonymous figure, taking the star quality out of the picture.
Whether you dream of walking the streets of Paris in full mime garb, or you run screaming at the site of clown makeup, these magical mime shoots are worth a glance!

Dobbs illustrates lack of understandingAug. 6, 2012 |
I am writing in response to G. Michael Dobbs' editorial in July 23th edition of The Reminder. As a volunteer for Elizabeth Warren's senate campaign I find Mr. Dobbs' claim that Warren does not want to "say something of substance" and "uses the same sound bites over and over and doesn't seem willing to actually sit down for an actual conversation" flippantly misleading. Warren is not a career politician running on rhetoric alone. Rather, she is an expert on bankruptcy law and who truly understands the unfair pressures placed upon middle class families. Warren has successfully worked to defend consumers against corporate avarice. She helped to create the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau an organization that protects the middle class from the sort of predatory loans that has led to financial disaster. If elected Warren would work for lasting reform. She will press for the type of investment America needs not in oil subsidies and corporate handouts, but in infrastructure and public education. I understand that those of us who follow politics closely often feel as if politicians are merely repeating the same lines over and over again. However, we must remember that Warren has needed introduce herself to citizens across the Commonwealth. Instead of criticizing Warren efforts at outreach, I would encourage voters who, like Mr. Dobbs, are interested in the ins and outs of Warren's platform to visit her website www. elizabethwarren.com. I guarantee you will be impressed by her insightful and intelligent stances on the issues that matter to voters in Massachusetts. Lindsay Oxx Longmeadow |

That's me, the unconventional gardener. Nothing weird mind you, just doing things a little different. When I come across something that makes my work easier, or my body ache less, the decision to switch methods comes easily. No matter how silly it makes me looks....
I've been putting off clearing the small asparagus bed of last year's growth. It looked terrible, but it served a purpose over the winter providing shelter for birds and rabbits. I decided today was THE day to get it done. I couldn't stand it any longer. I headed to the asparagus patch with pruners in hand. It only took cutting back the first plant to decide my back wasn't going to hold up to all that bending over, practically standing on my head. I layed the pruners aside and resorted to my usual method of cleaning up rows. It's quite a sight to see a grown woman crawling through the garden, but let me tell you, it works and it feels good stretching and reaching. As I made my way down the row, I found tell-tale signs of our rabbit visitors. Yeah! They leave behind wonderful treasures that fertilize the gardens naturally! I pulled the old asparagus stems out and some of the clover that was coming to life. I used to be kind of obsessive about weeds, but I've since learned that some weeds are a good thing. Like the little clover being a wonderful green manure. Unlike the Johnson Grass, which gets to 4' tall before I decide it's NOT corn. By being so up close and personal, I also have the opportunity to see how well our soil improves from year to year. When I reached the end of the bed, still on my knees, I turned around to admire my handiwork. At that point, I thought of how thankful I am for the life we have here on the hilltop....and that no one saw this old gal crawling in the garden.
Half of the herb seeds I started just four days ago, sprouted today. I feel just like a new mama! The others shouldn't be too far behind.
Had to go into town to Walmart today for a couple of bags of organic fertilizer. I walked the seed and plant section just to to remind me of anything I might have forgotten to order, that we'll need later for our CSA. I still have two orders laying on my desk, that haven't been sent off yet, with one of those orders being for 500 Gladiolas bulbs. You would think that would've stopped me from buying bulbs today. It didn't....we now have another 100 Gladiolas bulbs.

Jamie Beth Mercier, 35, Moorhead, MN died Saturday, April 7, 2012 at her residence surrounded by her family.
Jamie Beth Mercier was born April 15, 1976 to Lois (Peterson) and Terry Mercier in Crookston, MN. She was baptized and confirmed in Trinity Lutheran Church, Crookston. She graduated in 1994 the last class at the old Central High School. Jamie moved from Bagley to Moorhead in August 2010 to be closer to her medical/cancer team.
Jamie had a huge heart and loved people of all ages. Her life's work was as a teacher at Headstart.
The three greatest joys of her life were her three children, Riley John, Sadie Beth and Shelbie Nora. She shared her gift of kindness and care for other people with her children.
Jamie Beth was diagnosed with melanoma on November 23, 2009. She was blessed to have a great surgeon Dr. Garcia and oncologist Dr. Geeraerts from Roger Maris in Fargo, ND. She was able to be part of a drug study to help find a cure for melanoma through Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN. For a couple of months it was showing great promise in shrinking all the melanoma tumors. During this time she was able to share this experience with her daughters, Sadie and Shelbie, her Aunt Margie and mother Lois along with several other people helping through prayers, donations of their time, and money. (She really felt very BLESSED for her family.)
She was not afraid of dying because she will be healed and will be with God, but leaving behind her children, family and friends was hard for her to let go.
She is survived by her children, Riley John, Sadie Beth, Shelbie Nora; parents, Lois and Bill Pahlen, Terry and Carol Mercier; siblings, Terry Allen, Mike, and Tracey; grandparents, Phyllis Peterson, Mary Pahlen; uncles and aunts, Margie and Lawrence Amiot, Linda Tucker, Lee and Sherry Peterson; several close friends; several aunts, uncles, cousins; goddaughters, Maisie Lynn Johnson and Haylee Hanse.

I managed to produce some nice watermelons last year, and want to branch out melon-wise. I've looked at the Aggie's recommendations but last night landed on the Baker Creek website, and was mesmerized by the melon varieties. I've read rave reviews of eden's gem, emerald gem, charentais, noir des carmes, petit gris de rennes, and golden gopher on Gardenweb, but the reviewers were in northern states. Can anyone recommend favorite melon types that would do well in the Austin/8b area? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I did hale's best jumbo last year and they did great. Only issue is that I didn't cut back the water so the firsts were horribly flavorless. Towards the end though, they were great. They are the ones growing on the trellis to the right. I panty hosed some of them, but didn't for the later ones and they didn't need the panty hose for support. |

Oysterville, WA
The following article by John Goodenberger with photos by Alex Pajunas appeared in the February 28, 2014 issue of Our Coast Magazine.
Located on the Willapa Bay side of the Long Beach Peninsula in Washington, Oysterville appears much as it did more than a century ago. The town was established in 1854 by Robert Espy and Isaac Clark, who were guided to the area by Chinook Chief Nahcati.
Espy and Clark harvested oysters and shipped them to gold-rich San Francisco. An immediate success, Oysterville became a boomtown. However, its life was brief. By the late 1880s, the business collapsed and the small town was virtually abandoned.
Today, the massive wharves and canneries are gone, but a fine collection of homes from the 1870s remains. Tucked beneath ancient Monterey cypress trees beside grassy wetlands, the village has the feel of time forgotten. Don't miss the chance to step inside its beautifully maintained church or to stroll through the cemetery on the hill.
Self-guided walking tour brochures are available within the church narthex.

hupaj Siupaj polka by pan franek any search engine or youtube. The fiddler on the right has more energy than I think I ever had. Don't bother trying to translate, just let the foot tapping start. |

WOW! what lively, foot-stomping music! George, were you up and dancing at 7 minutes to Midnight ("23:33"), last night? If so, good for you! That was a fun video to watch; I've jotted down the information you gave so that I can see it again, sometime. If one were feeling "blue", listening to that music would be a good antidote. |

Oh, that's fun. We had a fiddler in our family and although he was a "serious" fiddler, he could jazz it up at times. I grew up with Polka music and dance. The accordian is also part of my history.We had fun. |
- Posted by anneliese_32 6 (My Page) on Mon, Dec 3, 12 at 7:44
If I remember correctly, I learned to dance the polka from my grandfather, I must have been about 5 yrs. old. This was just pure fun and I wished I had somebody to dance with. |
Yes, wouldn't it be fun to dance to that music? New knee day after tomorow but that won't give me my balance might quit hurting so much though. |
- Posted by west_gardener (My Page) on Mon, Dec 3, 12 at 20:11
gandle and anneliese, I'll dance the polka with you. I may be a little slow in the beginning, but I think we can get it together.and have some fun. |
Please include me in that polka party, too. That way, we'll each have a partner! George, I'll be thinking about you on Thursday, saying some prayers for a smooth surgery, and sending good thoughts and sunflowers to you and Leone. |
C'mon on down/up/over! You have never truly polka-ed if you haven't been to Nashville and gone to the Gerst Haus. We have a resident polka dancer who will waltz (get it, ha!) right up to you, replete in lederhosen and practically make you get out of your seat. You'd be in for a treat if you came here! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Mongo and his escapades
Looks like fun, our house always watched Lawrence Welk when we were growing up so polka and accordion music is familiar to me though I only played one that belonged to a friend. |
That was fun! Made me think of accordian players in general, and when I think of accordian players, I think of Vincenzo Abbraciante. You gotta see him. Sure he plays a good version of Ciribirabin, but watch his fingers light on fire at 1:58. YOu've never seen anything like him. He's jaw dropping! |

Boxes made in an apartment?
John Grossbohlin sent this link to a Box Maker working in a New York Apartment The photos above are his workshop and one of his boxes. Matt Paldy says of his work, "Woodworking, even in the constraints of the bathroom, gives me an escape from the stress of living in Manhattan. Manhattan is a city that favors disposable items and it's easy to become disconnected from nature, the earth, wood, and the pleasure and appreciation of making something by hand." More of Matt's work can be seen at his WEBSITE.

That is true dedication to his craft! I'll never complain about my small shop space again.

Shnay: Focus on generosity this holiday season
By Jerry Shnay Citizen email@example.com November 14, 2013 2:52PM
Updated: December 18, 2013 6:12AM
When we talked with Chuck and Kim Schaefer last month, they were busy putting up their Halloween "decorations" in the front yard of their house on Shabbona Drive in Park Forest and hoping that visitors to a ghastly butcher shop would drop off donations for the food pantries of Rich and Monee townships.
This time we asked how they did.
"It was awesome," Chuck said. "We wound up with 950 boxes and cans of food, the most we've ever collected in the three years we've been doing this. We were able to give each food pantry 475 items."
The Schaefers had a garbage-can-sized container next to the driveway of their house so those who wanted to donate could deposit nonperishable food. There was one evening a week before Halloween when the container was overflowing.
Calvary United Protestant Church had a "haunted house" that the Schaefer family helped build. Admissions to that exhibit netted $300, with all the money used to purchase more food. Even Chuck's employer, Advanced Auto Parts of Chicago Heights, helped with the donations and collections.
Along with the usual feeling of warmth that comes from this kind of effort, Monee Township sent the Schaefers a grateful letter that may soon be framed and put up on a wall in their house.
As we said earlier, the house at 127 Shabbona Drive is decorated for all the big holidays. Thanksgiving decorations are going up and will be followed by displays for Christmas, Easter and Independence Day.
When Halloween comes around next year, the scenes will be different ("bigger and better," says Chuck), but the message of giving will be the same.
The idea for such an effort is part of the "Haunts Against Hunger" program begun by Thom Kramer, the son of former village Trustee Ken Kramer and his wife Sue. This year, there were 11 other sites throughout Illinois in a campaign that is now in nine states, from Pennsylvania to California.
Wouldn't it be nice, Chuck thinks, if neighbors on their block could get together and form a long row of Halloween houses next year — bringing even more donations to the food pantries?
And then there's that vacant house a few doors down from the Schaefer residence.
"If I only knew who owns that property," Chuck said.
Reward your fellow shopper
We do a lot of our grocery shopping at a store in the area that often has promotions for various cookware items that can be obtained for what seems to be a reduced price after collecting stamps given out with purchases.
The kitchen in our house has enough of these things to last us three days past forever, so we usually say "no" when asked if we save the stamps.
But some shoppers take those stamps and give it to the next person in the checkout line. It's a nice idea. I guess as long as the groceries are paid for, the store doesn't care who gets the stamps.
The giving season approaches
It's no accident that we've discussed in this column two examples of generosity. The next time we get together here, Thanksgiving will be gone, Hanukkah will be hanging around and Christmas and Kwanzaa will be here.
Some will feast, but others will be forced to do without because of fire, flood and even typhoon. There is more than enough misery to go around.
Can we set one more place at our table, calculate the cost of feeding an absent diner and send that money to our favorite charity? No one ever accused this writer of being a do-gooder, but this is the time of year when some of us need to do something good.

I am working on writing a seperate method to calculate HPWL before and after placement. It will show how much minimization of wire length is possible after auto-placement. But I need to think if the net should be represented in clique model for measuring the HPWL.
JFreeChart works in Windows but not for linuxJfreeChart is built on AWT. It will utilize the method, window(), to get information of system, Windows supports it well, but not for Linux. I am trying other tools.
Topic model demonstrate more precise resultsUsing LDA,a topic model, to compute data and use to predict data is more useful. The data is so sparse, because there are so many phrases and words in the document, according to current experiments, as the topic number increases, the accuracy is increasing, currently, the RMSE is over 95%, the coeffient is over 20%, and precision is around 63.4%(this precision may be depended on sampled test data and threshold). The tools to draw a chart graph is under developed.
PlacementThis placer employes partitioning approach for placing components on PCB layout. I am working on placement strategy in each partition where the final result would be written back to the PCB file. While changing the existing PCB file, I need to see which parameters need to be changed so that the final PCB file would be shown in KiCAD viewer with optimal placement.
Still working on placementI am still working on placing components in each partition. I need to work on placement angle of components and how their coordinates would be helpful to place them on PCB layout after partitioning.
OverlappingAs the components are placed in one of the four partitions, I am working on removing overlapping keeping sufficient whitespace between any two components. This whitespace is required in routing phase of PCB design.
ModificationsWithout calculating total gain of current formation, it's not possible to know if gain of last formation was smaller or not. Hence I used two additinal lists to hold the last formation till current gain is calculated and compared. Also to remove duplicate entries from lists, I used linked hash set. Set does not allow to keep duplicate elements and linked hash set keeps the original order same. Linked hash set is first created from the list. Then list is cleared and set elements are added back to list. By this way duplicate elements of lists are removed in sets.
Capturing least gainThe FM algorithm distributes the components into two partitions so that their total gain is reduced. In my implementation, cell movements are stopped when total gain stops reducing. But I saw that if gain is found not getting reduced in current formation, we need to take the last formation as optimal one (least gain). Hence I need to hold the last formation also in a seperate list. I am working on it. Also I will remove duplicate entries in each bucket. Logically it's not correct to consider duplicate entries of components in gain calculation.
Partitioning to PlacementVertical and horizontal partitioning are working as per FM algorithm after fixing the bugs in the code. Now all the components are grouped into four parts that means initially they are placed in each part. Now each part will remove overlapping (if exists) and final placement would be written back to the file.
LDA usage summarizationLDA is useful to reduce word vector dimensions. I used the mallet to build a framework to compute topic distributions(each topic contains several words or phrases), those are basic features for VSM(vector space model). If I did not reduce the dimensions for word vectors, there would be a lot of redundance, like tf-idf. However, using LDA is non-trivial work. It will recompute each time whenever a new training sample or testing sample added in data. Formerly, I just recompute the model for one sentence each time. This is costly, because, according to my tagged training data, there are over 5000 training elements, training each time means I have to get one sentence features by computing 5001 sentences. Let me set a train classifier example here and suppose the topic numbers is 1000. Then I'll get 1000 dimension features for each sentence. Those features are normalized between 0 and 1. Those features could be either used in Regression like linear or logistic, or SVM(support vector machine, this training process is slow), or SMO(sequential minimum optimization, this training process is slow). The regression tools could be from weka, the svm could be from libsvm or svmlight. I will get a training model by those features. The model then could be used to predict. Yesterday, I got a new idea from discussion with my mentor. Trying to compute a batch of sentences each time. This is good idea. I will try it in another java class file. We also found that this method could be trade-off between computing features and training a classifier. Add one sentence to the older data will be trivial influence for topic distribution, but adding a batch of them might be. But I will test some results later in this week. The comparison results will be drew in chart graph.

Breakfast topic: How do you learn tactics? {WoW}
Jul 10th 2009 11:11AM I find the best way, personally, to learn a fight is by having it explained over Vent. It also helps when everyone in the guild is at the same level, per se, which means people are extremely patient on fights we're new to. We are told to research bosses on our own time, though, but I don't find that nearly as helpful as having the raid leader explain it to us. It also helps that whoever's explaining can tell people individually what they should be doing, which I find helps us get the boss down a little more easily.
Now I need to go look up the Auriaya fight. *grumble*

I understand that 70-80 in a day or so seems like an impossible task to most of you (and to myself, admittedly, I found getting from level 1 to 10 in a day pretty hard to do), but, really, I don't see how you can just accuse people of having no life on the basis that they spent a few hours playing a game.spent a few hours playing a game.

Alice: Madness Returns Review
Prepare to descend into madness.
Childhood fairytales are meant to be just that, to be left alone in the memories of the past. So when American McGee's Alice first staggered out onto the PC, gamers were left in complete shock. A Wonderland featuring a knife wielding Alice? A place of death and decay? The morbid take on Alice in Wonderland was certainly interesting and got a fair bit of attention. Fast forward to present day, and we're set to take another dive down the rabbit hole in Alice: Madness Returns.
Set in the bleak tones of London, the story once again revolves around our beloved Alice and her descend into madness, as she struggles to overcome the horrific memories of her parents engulfed in a fire at their house. Helped (or hindered) by her psychologist, she revisits Wonderland in the hopes of uncovering long-lost memories. But the Wonderland she comes back to is even more dangerous than before, filled with possessed tea pots and exploding rabbits. Guided by the ever-watchful Cheshire cat, you will need to guide Alice through the madness of Wonderland in her quest to rid the land of the evils that lurk and regain her sanity.
Before you even begin to play the game, the first thing that will grab your attention is the art style. It's clear that this game was a labour of love, as every cutscene and character stands true to McGee's vision of Wonderland. The levels are designed beautifully, with each one more well-crafted than the last. You go from jumping on mushrooms in a forest to a production plant with rivers of boiling tea – your imagination goes into overdrive with every level you go through. Each character and enemy you encounter is always a treat, with some recognizable Wonderland favourites getting a very macabre makeover.
As Alice, you're surprisingly skilled at wielding a variety of weapons, and the first one you acquire is the Vorpal Blade, a fairly innocent looking knife that can quickly slice through enemies. You also later pick up a Pepper Grinder that acts as a long-range weapon to fire at enemies and switches, as well as an exploding rabbit that you can detonate on command. You can also choose to upgrade your weapons by collecting teeth that are scattered around the levels and are dropped by fallen enemies. If you find yourself suddenly surrounded by enemies and low on health, you can activate a Hysteria mode that does double damage and makes you invincible for a short amount of time. What helps to mix the combat around is that not all enemies can be defeated in the same way, which means that you have to experiment with different weapon combos to find out how to take down certain enemies. She also has a very nifty dodge ability which sees her erupting into a small cluster of butterflies, which is great for getting away from attacks in time.
The game also makes heavy use of platforming, so when you're not fighting through waves of enemies you can jump and float your way around the levels. This may turn out to be a bit of a drag at times, as the only things you end up doing is jumping from one platform to another, turning a lever to reveal more platforms or a steam vent, and then moving on to more platforms. Alice also has the ability to instantly shrink to access hidden areas and reveal hidden platforms, but these hidden platforms are mostly annoying to traverse, and will result in plenty of mis-timed jumps and deaths. Luckily Alice re-spawns close to where she died, so you don't have to back-track too much. Still, the platforming element can tend to drag on a bit, so it's almost a relief when you come across enemies.
Where the game really does do badly is in the almost constant texture problems that seem to crop up on the PS3. Alice's skirt seems to have a mind of its own in some segments, and it was awkward when the game stopped for a few seconds to save or load a new area. What really irritated me was the camera, which at many times swung around to the wrong side during combat or when jumping. It also had an annoying tendency to snap under Alice when she was on a platform that was moving up and down, almost as if we wanted to really look up her skirt. It's a shame, as these graphical glitches tarnish what is otherwise a fairly well-presented game.
Alice Madness Returns is a brilliant return to the perils of Wonderland. Given that the original Alice game bundles as a free download is also a bonus, so gamers new to this twisted tale have a chance to acclimatise them selves. Still, there are a few areas where the game could have been improved upon, especially in the somewhat dull platform segments and graphical glitches. But as it stands, Alice's presentation this time around is second to none, with some devilish level designs and equally delightful characters.
The Scorecard | |||||||
The platforming may get a bit dull, but the frantic combat and weapons make up for lost time. |
Amazing level design is hampered by bad camera angles and irregular textures. | ||||
An excellent musical score that ties in well with the game's presentation. |
The bundled remastered original game is an added bonus. | ||||
You'll never be able to look at Wonderland in the same way again. |
A fairly competent game that is held back by some mediocre platforming sections. |

"I found this recipe to have far too much tomato sauce. The rice came out almost mushy not light and fluffy, plus I had to add at least double the amount of seasonings to make it somewhat flavorful. This is fine if you need something fast, but not if you are wanting something authentic."
"The vegetables all together was a terrific idea! However I had to put at least 3 times the amount of seasonings in to have it not taste just like tomatoes. I think this a good basic recipe idea but needs more help."

July 15, 2009
Jefferson City, MO. -- Attorney General Chris Koster today announced he has obtained restraining orders against two foreclosure consultants he had previously filed suit against, forcing them to stop violating Missouri law.
Koster joined the Federal Trade Commission and the state of California to obtain a temporary restraining order against US Foreclosure Relief. A temporary receiver was also appointed to run the California-based business. Koster originally filed suit against the California company on April 7. Koster also obtained a preliminary injunction against Gateway Mortgage Modification, LLC, of St. Louis.
Koster said both businesses charged consumers large sums of money up-front, with the promise they would help consumers avoid foreclosure or help them change the terms of their mortgage. In reality, the businesses provided little or no service to the consumer. The businesses also broke Missouri law by requiring up-front fees before they provided services.
"In Missouri we have zero tolerance for people who prey on those in serious risk of losing their homes," Koster said. "We will continue to aggressively pursue businesses that engage in mortgage-relief scams to stop them from operating in Missouri."
The announcement coincides with Koster's testimony July 14 before the United States Senate. Koster told Senators his office has seen sharp increases in consumer complaints related to both mortgage-rescue and debt-settlement businesses. In 2007 and 2008 combined, the Attorney General's office received a total of 25 complaints about mortgage-rescue companies. In just the first half of the year in 2009, his office has already had 84 complaints.
Koster has declared a "zero tolerance" campaign against mortgage fraud in Missouri. Since April 6 he has filed suit against five companies offering mortgage refinancing or foreclosure relief, with more than a dozen additional official investigations currently underway.
Koster's announcement today is part of a nationwide "sweep" being called "Operation Loan Lies" by the states and the Federal Trade Commission, the U.S. Department of Justice, local district attorneys and the State Bar of California.
The Attorney General urges consumers who have been the victims of fraudulent mortgage-refinancing or foreclosure-relief companies, or who are concerned about the practices of their lender, to contact his consumer hotline at 800-392-8222 or to go online at www.ago.mo.gov.

Topical Onion Application On the Scalp Can Stop Hair Loss
For men and women of all ages, the common household staple, the humble onion can hold a hidden power. Studies have shown that the powerful stench of onion and garlic juices might be capable of bringing more than a tear to ones eye.
Recent studies have shown that by simply rubbing onion juice on ones head, it is possible to generate hair growth and prevent future hair loss.
Onion juice has been used for hundreds of years to treat thin and graying hair
Onion juice helps by providing nourishment and circulation to the hair follicles. It also kills germs, parasites, and is helpful in treating some fungi infections, all of which can aid in prevention of hair loss.
Onions are also high in sulfur, which helps in regenerating the hair follicles, and they are beneficial in decreasing inflammation.
Cited in the Journal of Dermatology, (Journal of dermatology, pg 343-346, 2002), one study in particular tested the efficacy of onion juice as an antidote to the common menace of hair loss, or alopecia.
The study found that just after four weeks of using onion juice, 74% of individuals with alopecia areata experienced significant hair regrowth. Within six weeks of using onion juice, 84% of the individuals were reported to have hair re-growth.
This study was designed to test the effectiveness of topical crude onion juice in the treatment of patchy alopecia areata in comparison with tap water.
Twenty-three people with alopecia areata applied the onion juice twice daily for two months, and 15 people applied tap water twice daily for two months.
Re-growth of terminal coarse hairs started after two weeks of treatment with crude onion juice. At four weeks, hair re-growth was seen in 17 patients (73.9%), and, at six weeks, the hair re-growth was observed in 20 patients (86.9%) and was significantly higher among males (93.7%) compared to females (71.4%). In the tap-water treated-control group, hair re-growth was apparent in only 2 patients (13%) at 8 weeks of treatment with no sex difference. The present study showed that the use of crude onion juice gave significantly higher results with regard to hair re-growth than did tap water, and that it can be an effective topical therapy for patchy alopecia areata.
How can onion juice stop hair loss?
Onions contain a number of important minerals and vitamins, such as vitamins C and B6, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and germanium. Onions also have a high Sulfur content. The high amounts of sulfur in onions make them particularly effective in regenerating hair follicles and stimulating hair re-growth.
Sulfur, known as "the beauty mineral," is necessary for your health as well as for stimulating your hair growth. Your hair is made primarily of sulfur, protein and water. Sulfur increases the circulation of your scalp, nourishing your hair follicles.
Suggested use:
Even though you can buy it online, it is better to use the juice of a fresh onion as any juice you purchase is stored for months and the fresh juice will be more potent. It is best to make the juice in small amounts so it is does not have to be stored for a long period of time.
The easiest way to Make Onion Juice:
If you have a juicer, this is the easiest way to make onion juice. Just peel the onion, cut it in half and put it in the juicer.
Quarter an onion, put it in a blender for a few minutes then squeeze the juice out through a strainer. Put it in a little bottle with an eye dropper for easy application. Apply twice a week. The juice keeps for about two weeks, three if you put a few drops of lemon juice in it.
Apply the freshly-squeezed, raw onion juice directly onto the scalp, massage deep into the scalp and hair roots. Leave on the scalp for about half-an-hour before shampooing.After that she puts a plastic hat or a bag on her head and leaves it for twenty minutes. Than she washes the hair.
To reduce the strong onion odor which can be quite irritating, mix 1 teaspoon of fresh onion juice with several teaspoons of apple juice. This helps dramatically. The strong smell is reduced by ~ 85% instantly. Rub this blend in your scalp, keep for 25-30 minutes and then wash away with the shampoo.
When will you notice results?
In most cases, regular onion treatments will result in dramatic improvement of hair thickness within just several months.
