Winter Manure Application Rules Kick in Saturday
Posted: 12/19/2013
DES MOINES – Runoff and nutrient loss are more likely following winter manure application because manure can't be injected into the soil or incorporated into the field.
Research shows that the later in the season and the closer to spring snowmelt that you land apply manure, the greater the risk that it will reach a stream. So, it pays to be careful when winter application is necessary, both to make the best use of the nutrients and to protect water quality.
For animal producers with totally roofed (confinement) facilities, state law also sets some dates, Dec. 21 and Feb. 1, when liquid manure cannot be applied on snow-covered or frozen ground. These limits affect confinement facilities with liquid manure that have 500 or more animal units. Generally, 500 animal units is 1,250 finishing hogs; 5,000 nursery pigs; 500 steers, immature dairy cows or other cattle; or 357 mature dairy cows.
Except in emergencies, the law limits liquid manure application from Dec. 21 to April 1 if the ground is snow-covered with an inch or more of snow or one-half inch of ice. If manure can be properly injected or incorporated, it can be land applied during this time. Starting Feb. 1, liquid manure application on frozen ground is restricted.
Producers must call the local DNR field office to report emergency applications before they apply.
While the law affects confinements with liquid manure, open feedlots and poultry producers can help keep manure in place by using common sense and choosing application areas far from a stream, on flat land with little snow cover.
All producers must follow setbacks from certain buildings and environmentally sensitive areas.
Search for more information on separation distances at
. Recommendations from the Iowa Manure Management Action Group about applying manure in winter are available at
The rules are available online under Chapter 65 of the Iowa Administrative Code/Environmental Protection Commission.

London's Burning In 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' Trailer Starring Dwayne Johnson, Bruce Willis and Channing Tatum
Ahead of the release of G.I. Joe: Retaliation this summer, we've got our hands on the film's trailer - expect gruff voices, snappy one-liners and plenty of explosions.
A sequel to G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, the film follows the Joe team as they come into conflict with Cobra's Zartan. Disguised as the President of the United States, Zartan succeeds at exterminating most of them, leaving only a handful of Joes left.
Led by a distinctly beefed-up Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, the remaining Joes set off on a revenge mission.
Fellow muscle men Bruce Willis and Channing Tatum also star, alongside Adrianne Pallicki, Ray Stevenson and Ray Park.
G.I. Joe: Retaliation will open in the UK on August 3.
See the photos of London burning in the film below...

Hi guys!
Does anybody in either Riverside, OC or LA area know where I can buy a dwarf kishu mandarin tree? I've looking for it online without any luck, just wondering if any nurseries nearby carry it. Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
FourWinds website carries it. You can mail order from them (email their customer service and you will get a response). I bought mine from a local reputed nursery in NorCal who special ordered it for me - it took them 3 weeks to get it, but I got a good specimen with lots of fruits on it. You can ask your favorite nursery or OSH (if there is one near you) to special order it for you. |
ashleysf, thanks a lot for your response. I actually tried to order from FourWinds website, but it seems like kishu is out of stock becuase you can not add this variety to the shopping cart. I will probably try email them. Thanks again. Anybody in the So Cal area knows a local nursery carries kishu now? |
You should also try the Citrus forum. There are people there who live in in So Cal and they may be able to help you find a local nursery that carries it. Andrew |
Logee's has a Kishu. Cath |
- Posted by steve_in_los_osos 9a-Sunset 16/17 (My Page) on Sun, Feb 20, 11 at 23:04
It's been a couple of years since I lived in So. Cal. but just before I left I bought a Kishu from Armstrong in Pasadena. They had quite a few at the time; don't know if that's typical. The trees they have came from Durlings and they had both dwarf and ultra-dwarf. Other Armstrongs may have similar. I would give one of them a call. Also, but not exactly in your neck of the woods, Green Arrow/Green Thumb in Ventura always has a large stock of citrus from Durlings. Maybe the ones in SF Valley do, too--I never thought to look there. |
I wouldn't waste your time or money on Logees. Especially living in California. I also am pretty sure that they cannot ship citrus to CA. There prices are ridiculously high and there plants aren't worth sh*t! Trust me, I KNOW!! I bought a 'Day' avocado from them last year. The tree was around $35 and was only about a foot tall. You living in California can do way better!! Andrew |
Logee's sells rooted cuttings, not grafted citrus trees. So, in effect they are not "dwarf" trees and you are not getting any of the benefits of grafting - that is besides the point - as Andrew says, they cannot ship citrus into california anyway. Another source that has good quality trees (Kishu included) is Menlo growers. If you cannot get FourWinds Kishu because they are out of stock, try to get your nursery to order it from Menlo growers. |
Just for the record: I understand that Andrew has not been satisfied with Logee's. My experience has been different. Although the citrus plants, for example, have been smaller than Four Winds' at the same price, they have grown well. Moreover, I have not been totally satisfied with Four Winds' citrus. Spring of 2009 I bought 4 that arrived looking very good. Two have grown very little. Another had a bad graft with the top and bottom ends sticking out that took a year to heal. The last has grown very nicely. I have never grown dwarf citrus before and so I may be expecting something of them that they do not deliver. I am not totally panning Four Winds. I would order from them again. Hope my experiences help someone. Cath |
I know it has been 1 year old blog. But I'm just so excited to share this info to everyone in southern Cal. I went to Lo's Nursery in El Monte (google it!) and bought one 5-gal good size of Kishu mini tangerine w/ a lots of flower buds ($30) and one 5-gal Taiwanese black mulberry ($25) w/ a lots of fruits. A nice old couples are running that small nursery. Great price and friendly customer service. I definitely recommend them. |

I saw "The Who" perform Baba O'Reily (AKA Teenage Wasteland) for the halftime show at the Superbowl and was inspired to do this parody in honor of the horrible winter we're having. It's called "Frozen Wasteland" and in it I try to recreate the synthesizer part on the banjo. The Viking hat is in honor of the Vikings' great season!
Frozen Wasteland

Get those poor freezing flamingos under some cover or they won't be around to set free come spring! As always, love your work.
You guys are great. Keep them coming, I love your videos, better than anything you can find on SNL, or the Daily Show. Funny and informative..I love it.
The only bad part of your whole production is the fact that I have more snow here in Southcentral Pennsylvania than you do in Minnesota!!! How will Al Gore ration his precious Global Warming if he can't tax us? hehehe
This is absolutely beautiful guys - well done!
Keep up the good fight.
I'd have to agree, I think Al Gore stole the show... heh... Don't worry I've got carbon credits I'm selling making tons of $$$$ on the dupes who believe this is ACTUALLY caused by Global Warming, Mwah haw haw
Way to funny! I've told all my fiends (sic) about it.
"I'll be bock!"
Priceless! and very well done
Al is that you? Your not Elmer!
As a "denier" I found your premise to be spot on.
As a Montanan, I can sympathize with your plight.
As a Who fan, I was shocked that your version was so close to the original. Did you really start working on that piece Sunday? I'm impressed!
Your guys are Ten times better than the Who! Fantastic!!
Brilliant... I hope you are professional musicians, because if not you should be.!
Just posted on my blog. Too good not to share.
NewsBusters: Minnesotans for G-Warming Present 'Frozen Wasteland' - The Who
I know isn't that great maybe Rush will play it, like he did Hide the Decline.
Actually, truth be known, I've had this concept in my head for at least a decade and have been practicing that dumb banjo part far almost that long. I've always thought it would make a good Bluegrass song, the ending is basically a kick-butt blue grass song.
It's tough on the fingers though, I have to do finger exercises.
But when I heard the Who were going to be the halftime act at the Superbowl, and with "Snowmageddon" I knew the time was now or never.
Another 5 stars.
I can't get this song out of my head. The banjo licks are amazing - great vocals too! Thanks for using your musical superpowers for good.
Thanks folks for that good time.
Better than "Hide the decline" !
I wish there would be something like that in france.
Please, keep on fighting against AGW religion.
PS : shared on french blogs...
From the frozen wasteland of Texas (Dallas) with 3-4" of sticking snow today..........ROFLMAlGoreO!!!!!!!
Tx4GW, CWells
Back in the day I saw the Who 4 consecutive nights in a row!, you guys are awesome ! When is the tour? Need to work on your windmills a bit though.
I absolutely love it! Especially after digging my car from under a foot a snow (on top of the 2.5 feet we already got).
Regards from a ex-pat Minnesotan in the current snow capital of the world.
Amazing banjo work. I really enjoy all of your songs and videos.
Hot Air -- Video: Frozen Wasteland
I could kiss all of you 100 times each! On the cheeks...the ones above the neck.
I cannot recall right now which number of Alinski's Rules For Radicals you've wonderfully followed, but ridicule be thy name.
Hilarious and spot on. Genius.
Just heard this on Dennis Miller - fantastic! I am glad to find a group of like-minded Minnesotans who while they wish Global Warming was true, realize its only Al Gore's fantasy.
As someone who was born and raised in Minnesota who just dug out from over two feet of snow outside of the D.C. area in Virginia, this hit home. While hilarious, it also contains some serious political commentary.
We all need to fight
To preserve our rights
I don't want to be taxed a just for breathing
I am sending it to everyone and posting it everywhere I can.
Absolutely fabulous! I heard a clip on Dennis Miller's show from Friday and had to look you up. I was THRILLED to find a whole page of videos! Very cathartic! :D
The video is just awesome. I've listened to it already many times. As a former Minnesotan it swells I feel heartened to hear and see Minnesotans that haven't drunk the liberal koolaid.
There's at least 4 of us anyway
Just too good and too funny - your actually talented LOL
Its a Frozen Wasteland in Fla too - you'd think you put the backyard in a microwave
Rockin the World Headquarters!! :D
btw, have you heard the latest from Phil Jones?
I've also been inspired by a famous song by a famous artist, and I'm now writing GW lyrics. I can't do any singing or put a video together, but you certainly can. When I'm finished I'll send it out and maybe you can make a hit out of it! I'll send it over when I'm finished.
Wow, truly great information. Your blog is really cool. I bookmarked it and may return again.
I want more info on the Band, you guys are great!
I have this already, and I'd recommend that everybody check this out.
Not only a great parody, but a great,great,great Roger Daltrey voice (classic early seventies!!!)
The only bad thing is, after 3 minutes of banjo music, I have the urge to find a cousin.

Age-friendly Cities
"What aging is, is the greatest success of public health," said Ruth Finkelstein, director of the Age-Friendly Initiative of the New York Academy of Medicine.
The City of New York has released a progress report on Age-friendly New York City, a cross-agency, public-private partnership created in 2009 to improve the lives of older New Yorkers. The report highlights progress in several areas including pedestrian safety, parks access and innovative senior centers among others initiatives. New York City is home to 1.3 million older New Yorkers, a number expected to increase by close to 50 percent by 2030. In 2007, the City Council provided funding to the New York Academy of Medicine to begin creating a blueprint to help New York City become a model of an age-friendly city.
The report's release coincides with the city's announcement of its recognition as the Best Existing Age-friendly Initiative in the World through a competition sponsored by the International Federation on Aging.
"It's a fact of life that everyone gets older and we need to make sure our City is prepared to meet the needs of our aging population," said Department for the Aging Commissioner Lilliam Barrios-Paoli. "Our success is due to the collaborative efforts of our sister City agencies, the New York City Council and the New York Academy of Medicine. Without this uniquely innovative partnership and the grassroots community efforts from local businesses and neighborhood organizations, we would not have been able to build the foundation for what makes New York City a better place to live for our seniors."
The city's age-friendly initiatives include:
NYC Public Health as a Model: Kimberly Isett and Miriam Laugesen Q&A
As scholars together at the Columbia Mailman School of Public Health in New York City, public health researchers Kimberley Roussin Isett, PhD, and Miriam Laugesen, PhD, watched major policy changes unfold across the city over the past several years. They decided to look at New York City as a model for improving public health that other cities could replicate. "Things were happening in New York City rapidly, and in a health-focused way that really not seen before," says Isett. Since then, other cities across the country have enacted similar, comprehensive smoke-free policies. Voluntary calorie postings on restaurant menus were also integrated as a requirement in the Affordable Care Act. The researchers decided to look at New York City as a model for improving public health that other cities could replicate. NewPublicHealth recently spoke with Drs. Isett and Laugesen about their research. Dr. Isett recently took a new position as an Associate Professor in the School of Public Policy at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, and Dr. Laugesen is an Assistant Professor of Health Policy and Management at Mailman and a former Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Health & Society Scholar.
NewPublicHealth: Because of its large budget and powerful public leaders, New York City isn't always seen as a model for other, particularly smaller, health departments. But your work shows some of their efforts to be important, maybe critical for other departments to study and replicate. How did you come to that conclusion?
Miriam Laugesen: In our research, one theme that kept coming across again and again was the scientific basis—the amount of research and data—that the Bloomberg administration and staff had collected to justify and design their policies. That was a very big component, we thought, of many of their policies and that New York City had many innovative, interesting examples of how policymakers can base their policies on evidence.
NY State Releases Health Improvement Plan
Yesterday, New York State Health Commissioner Nirav R. Shah, MD, MPH, released the 2013-17 Prevention Agenda: New York State's Health Improvement Plan—a statewide, five-year plan to improve the health and quality of life for everyone who lives in New York State. The plan is a blueprint for local community action to improve health and address health disparities.
Dr. Shah was joined by New York City Health Commissioner Thomas Farley, MD, MPH, and representatives from leading health care and community organizations at the Charles B. Wang Community Health Center in Manhattan. Among the other speakers were Jo Ivey Boufford, MD, president of The New York Academy of Medicine, and Daniel Sisto, president of the Healthcare Association of New York State.
>>Read a related Q&A with Commissioner Nirav Shah.
"We've all heard the adage—an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," said Commissioner Shah. "We need to fundamentally change the way we think about achieving better health in our society."
That fundamental shift toward prevention, said Dr. Shah, requires setting clear goals, promoting active collaborations, and identifying policies and strategies that create opportunities for everyone to live a healthy life.
The Prevention Agenda identifies five priority areas:
- Prevent chronic disease
- Promote healthy and safe environments
- Promote healthy women, infants and children
- Promote mental health and prevent substance abuse
- Prevent HIV, STDs, vaccine-preventable diseases, and healthcare-associated infections
A health improvement plan like the one released by the New York Department of Health is a critical prerequisite for public health department accreditation. Recently, the Public Health Accreditation Board awarded five-year accreditation to 11 public health departments. Those 11 are the first of hundreds currently preparing to become accredited, including New York state.
"Completing the accreditation application, which includes our Prevention Agenda 2013-17, provides the Department of Health a valuable opportunity to engage partners and community stakeholders in our ongoing efforts to improve public health, evaluate the effectiveness of our services and showcase our successes," Commissioner Shah said.
Thomas Farley: NewPublicHealth Q&A
Thomas Farley, MD, MPH, Health Commissioner of the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, is the keynote speaker at the opening session of the Public Health Law Research annual meeting that started yesterday afternoon in New Orleans. In advance of the meeting, NewPublicHealth spoke with Dr. Farley about the role of legal research in moving the public health agenda forward, how New York City is doing in the weeks following Hurricane Sandy, and the flu epidemic hitting the city that prompted New York State Governor Cuomo to declare a public health emergency earlier this week.
NewPublicHealth: What will you focus on during your address at the Public Health Law Research Program annual meeting?
Dr. Farley: I will be going through a number of policies that we have put in place here in New York City to promote health. Most of those will be around food, but some will be around tobacco. So that includes things such as our raising of tobacco taxes, our smoke-free air rule and around our prohibition on the use of trans fats in restaurants, our calorie labeling initiative and our portion rule [limits on beverage sizes at some food outlets]. And I will share some thoughts about the role researchers can play in policy development for an agency like ours.
NPH: How important has legal research been for some of the recent public health initiatives that have been introduced in New York City?
Faces of Public Health: Patricia Yang
Three months have passed since Hurricane Sandy hit the East Coast. And while the number of people displaced by the storm has gone down from tens of thousands to the hundreds in different communities, some people are still without power or a permanent place to live. Others face the daunting task of rebuilding businesses and homes while protecting against mold and dust, which can cause or exacerbate respiratory problems. For many, the stress has rekindled mental health issues that might have been at bay, or created new ones or just made tough times even worse.
NewPublicHealth spoke with Patricia Yang, DrPH, Chief Operating Officer and Executive Deputy Commissioner at the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.
NewPublicHealth: Hurricane Sandy hit just over two months ago. How's the city doing now?
Dr. Yang: There are people in parts of the city for whom the storm is a distant memory, and their daily lives are virtually unaffected apart from what they might hear on the news or read in the papers. But in the areas that were most directly affected by the hurricane, life for many is far from normal and may never return to what it was pre-storm. Those areas in particular are parts of the Rockaways and Coney Island and Staten Island. So there are still thousands of people who don't have basic utilities and for whom grid power and heat have not returned. And we're heading into the coldest winter months.
NPH: What's the role of the public health department both now to help people deal with the aftermath, and looking ahead to prepare for the next disaster?
Impact of Hurricane Sandy: NewPublicHealth Q&A with Irwin Redlener
Just several weeks after Hurricane Sandy hit the New York City area, New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo appointed Irwin Redlener, MD, director of the National Center for Disaster Preparedness at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health, to co-chair the New York State Ready Commission. The role of the Commission is to determine ways to ensure that critical systems and services are in place to respond to future natural disasters and other emergencies.
The specific areas for which the commission was asked to make recommendations include:
- Addressing vulnerabilities in the state's health care, energy, transportation, communications and other systems
- Ensuring that new, modified and existing construction is resilient
- Ensuring the availability of adequate equipment, fuel, food, water and other emergency supplies
- Ensuring that first responders and other critical personnel are able to communicate efficiently and have access to adequate resources
- Ensuring the availability of reliable real-time information for decision-makers
- Ensuring that lines of authority are clear and officials have the authority to react rapidly to emergency situations
Both the Ready Commission and the 2100 Commission, which was tasked with finding ways to improve the resilience and strength of the state's infrastructure in the face of natural disasters and other emergencies, submitted their reports to the governor earlier this week. Recommendations of the Ready Commission included:
- Create a statewide network of unified emergency training, coordination, protocols and communication
- Update the New York State Building Code
- Expand use of Vulnerable Populations Databases so first responders; outreach workers; and health care and human services personnel can find and serve those who may need assistance
- Require that gas stations in strategic locations have access to onsite back-up power capacity
NewPublicHealth spoke with Dr. Redlener about the Commission and the storm's impact on New York residents.
>>Read about the 2012 edition of its Ready or Not? report from Trust for America's Health, which looks at strengths and vulnerabilities in each state's emergency preparedness status.
NewPublicHealth: You were appointed to co-chair the Ready Commission by Governor Cuomo in November. What is the specific focus of the Commission?
Redlener: What we are going to do is assess the current resilience of the city in terms of its preparedness efforts. Are we ready? Are we prepared? What are the missing elements right now in trying to make us more prepared for the next events than we were for this one? Some of this is not all that complicated and unfortunately these are problems that we have seen in prior disasters. Some of the things that we are seeing here were basically exactly what we saw in the Gulf and in New Orleans after Katrina. It isn't like we haven't been thinking about these things. I think that is why we were able to provide some reasonable recommendations, because these are not altogether new problems or challenges.
NPH: How strong is disaster preparedness training at schools of public health and within governmental public health?
Hurricane Sandy Recovery: By the Numbers
As the recovery efforts continue in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, NewPublicHealth is following the work of local and state health departments in the areas affected by the storm as they help their citizens regroup, recover and build community resilience. Read more on public health preparedness and response.
Three weeks after the storm the New York City Health Department has meaningful storm-related health use data that is valuable for both current health services delivery and future disaster planning:
- Emergency room visits for both mental and physical health concerns in New York City dropped on the day of the storm but have now returned to typical levels.
- There was a brief increase in cases of hypothermia immediately after the storm but no sustained increase since then.
- There is a continuing modest increase in visits for prescription medicine refills.
- There has not been an increase in injuries or illnesses overall.
- There has been a modest increase in asthma emergencies in the Rockaway section of New York, which was especially hard hit by flooding and storm debris during the period immediately following the storm, but rates seem to have returned to baseline. According to the health department, the increases likely were caused by people living in cold temperatures, using their stoves to heat their homes, dust from storm clean-up and reduced access to prescription medication for some people during the first days of the storm.

I've been thrilled with my cucumbers (picklebush and burpless hybrid) and they've been fruiting like crazy. All of a sudden, the last couple of days, the leaves have been turning yellow and the vines getting all mushy. Most of the cukes I've gotten the last couple of days have been horribly deformed too. I've tried leaving the ugly cukes but they don't do anything. I've tried snipping off the yellow leaves and I've tried leaving them alone (they go completely brown and fall off). Any ideas?
background: 3 picklebush and 2 burpless in an 18-gal tub with MG potting mix and Black Kow. North-central GA where it's hot and humid all the time. In the beginning I was spraying with MG every 5-7 days but when my pumpkins got burned and everyone here told me I was over-fertilizing, I cut back to every 2 weeks or so and I'm careful to avoid spraying the plants directly and "rinse" a bit after. There are a TON of bugs on these. Some I've been able to identify (ants, aphids, "soldier" bugs, ladybugs), some I haven't. This is how the leaves sometimes look late in the afternoon when it's approaching 100 and I haven't watered enough but they're not dry now. It rained for a while last night and was cool and overcast this morning. Still, I thought maybe they were thirsty so I watered some about lunchtime but after 2 hours they haven't perked up yet. As of yesterday, they were firmly attached to the wire teepee and reaching up over the top. Today, they've drooped to the point that they've pulled away from it altogether. Closer look at the yellowing leaves at the bottom. I know I need to move the container and cut the grass but the same thing is happening all the way up the plant and in another pot that's sitting on short grass so I don't *think* that's got anything to do with it. My cantaloupe is a few feet away...same setup...18-gal tub with MG potting mix and Black Kow. This plant just set about 9 fruits in the last few days so it can't be doing too bad but all of a sudden, it's turning yellow too. The vines going to the yellow leaves are completely squishy and limp. There are some new leaves coming in near the "crown" or whatever you call where the plant comes out of the ground and they look good...for now. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Don't know what your problem is. But, I had similar problems with my tomatoes this year, and cucumbers in past years, as a result of bugs suddenly becoming a major problem. I was stunned at how quickly and thoroughly aphids could devastate a plant. I have seen a similar reaction to cucumber and squash bugs. The darn things spread disease as well as eating the plants. You may need to kill them to have a chance of solving the problems. Neem oil, spinosad and insecticidal soap (Safer is one brand) are fairly safe choices. |
Thanks...I was reading last night about sap-sucking bugs leading to deformed fruits and some disease they spread that can KO a whole plant in 24-48 hours. I had posted pics a couple of weeks ago of something on the leaves and the consensus was aphids. I had taken to spraying a jet of water on the undersides of the leaves to knock the aphids off and then ladybugs showed up and I thought we were golden. Funny thing is, there are two different types of cukes in that bucket. The aphids seem to prefer the picklebush leaves for some reason, but it's one of the burpless that just pooped out all of a sudden. The above pics were taken about noon today and this is the same plant at 8pm. Sorry for the crappy phone pic, I had just gotten home and was thoroughly shocked and wanted to get the pic before it got dark. I had my hands full with the kids tonight but I'll remove that vine first thing in the morning and see how the rest look. If it's a disease, will it spread through the roots of the other plants sharing that pot? I'm so clueless! I've noticed that on the cantaloupe, the worst of it seems to be confined to a couple of vines...they're just kind of tangled up. I wonder if I should snip off those vines so the plant doesn't waste energy trying to "heal" them and maybe give the rest a fighting chance. Just don't want to make matters worse by injuring it. Since this is pretty much exactly what happened to my pumpkins a few weeks ago, I'm wondering now if the fertilizer really was the problem. The pumpkin leaves did look more burned than these but they went from gorgeous to dead in one day. Come to think of it, I just posted the other day about how well the cantaloupes were doing and I shared my first watermelon and a batch of peppers with family this weekend. EVERY.SINGLE.TIME I brag about how well my unconventional garden is doing, Mother Nature knocks me down a notch or two. One of these days I'll learn to keep it to myself and gloat when the season is OVER. :) |
this is my 3 cents. verticilium wilt, but my first choice is fursarium wilt. and if it is verticilium wilt when you cut the vine off and there is a brown color in the vine. then it is verticilium. |

Barbara: I am so sorry to see this happen to you. It can be devastating after all the work you put into it and looking forward to the bounty. I hope you figure this out. I have seen green horned caterpillars do this damage and underground bugs eat the roots! I hope the rest of your plants are exempt from this sort of problem. Good luck Mike |
Since I snipped off everything that didn't look healthy, the cukes seem to be doing a bit better. At least the plants do. I haven't been getting as many ripe cukes (1-2/day compared to the 10/day I had been getting for a while) and some of them still look weird but hopefully with some TLC, they'll spring back. The cantaloupe doesn't look any worse which I guess is a good thing but it doesn't really look any better either. The leaves out toward the ends of the vines are nice and thick but closer in, it's pretty bare. There are some new leaves sprouting but very slowly...nothing like it was a couple of weeks ago. The fruits are still growing like mad so I guess that's more important than the leaves at this point. Just watching and hoping... |

btbarbara, you mentioned that the vines had outgrown the ties. If the wilting occured above the constriction then that may have been the cause. Good advice I got; learn as much as you can from plants or parts you are going to discard. In this case, cut the stems in a long slanting fashion and watch for the color of sap. I recall that black sap indicates a bacterial wilt which is not worth the remedy. Splitting the stem longitudinally through the growing point can reveal the presence of insects and disease mainly through boring and tunneling in the former and abnormal color and texture in the latter. Sniff to determine the odor of rot. Use separate tools for post mortems or sterilize tools after. I believe that some of your plants suffered from being too tightly bound and that the remaining material will grow in. |
Thanks for the tip! I wish I had paid a little more attention to the dead vine but I didn't even know what to look for at the time. Live and learn. The cukes are doing better. Lots of the "fruit" (is the edible part of a veggie "fruit"?) are still looking funky...they're short, very pointy on the blossom end and curved (the picklebush). The burpless are still long and straight but they're not really filling out the way they were and they have a lot more bad spots (bugs sucking on them?) but it is what it is. I'm kind of irritated that I haven't had time to do any pickles for the last week...I keep sticking them in the fridge and saying I'll do them tomorrow. I realized today that I've got about 40 cukes in there and some of them are pretty mushy so I'll probably wind up tossing them. :( Got to get on the ball and get some done today. The cantaloupe's hanging in there but just doesn't look happy at all. I'm scared to fertilize and scared to leave it alone. I wonder if the roots on it are outgrowing the container. It's in an 18-gal tub but you can see roots right in the top layer of soil. I think if I do melons next year, I'll try to do them in the ground somehow. I've proven to myself and the naysayers that they can be done in containers but I think they'll be much easier in the ground. On a happier note, I picked another 20 lb watermelon this morning. I'm going to cut it just before time for the kids to get home from school. The tendril closest to the melon turned completely brown and it sounds hollow and feels heavy and the color is kind of fading and the belly is yellow so hopefully this one is really ripe. I'm going to cut it right before the kids get home from school so if it's good, it will be a nice treat and if not, I'll have time to hide it before they get home and get mad at me again! :) |
As for your fertilizer questions, you could always get one of those one-time, cheap fertilizer testers to get an idea of how fertile the soil is in the pots. Heck, since you're relatively new to gardening (you say), then buy several tests and keep testing over the season to see how the soil reacts to your actions. |

An anti-government protesters overcome by tear gas has his eyes rinsed with saline during a violent protest at a sports stadium where the Thai Election Commission is registering candidates for Thailand's upcoming poll on December 26, 2013 in Bangkok, Thailand. Several thousand anti-government protesters fought with police guarding the election registration venue. Police used tear gas, rubber bullets and waters canons, while gunfire was heard on several occasions from both sides of the police line. One policeman died of a gunshot wound, while nearly one hundred people were injured during the clashes, including protesters, police and media. Protesters demand that the election be called off and an appointed government takes power until political reforms have taken place.

- Mr. Wangersky-- It was more appropriate to say it was GIVEN AWAY by those in power instead of GOT AWAY.
- August 14, 2012 - 08:25
Mr. Wangersky, it was more like purposely "GIVEN AWAY" away to the province of preference, which appears to be the case around here since Nova Scotia has gotten everything that the province of Newfoundland and Labrador has lost, compliments of the Federal Government. Natural Resources suffer from inertia and they cannot move on their own accord, somebody has to cause that action. A certain group of Newfoundlanders and Labradorians, no doubt, also added more Millions of dollars to their own personal economy from causing that action with FPI. An Inquiry should be struck on that move for sure. We have to STOP the exploitation of our Natural Resources by those in power! After 550 years of being in this beautiful place, Newfoundland and Labrador, that was so well endowed by Nature, it is time that our province and its people prospered without taking on the debt we are taking on with Muskrat Falls. Shame on those who committed the crimes against our people, a people who should have been well off economically given our great geographic location and endowment of Natural Resources. I hope those who did us in grow a conscience and stop the exploitation.

Hi. Russell; You hit the nail right on the head as usuall, great journalism. I would like to see published the names of the leading politicians who dismantled this company F.P.I. on behalf of newfoundlanders as a whole, but especially fisherman and plant workers, they must be hanging their head in shame.

If you're saying High Liner slid through "our" fingers, "our" being the people of NL as represented by the provincial government, and you're implying that government could have presided over the same level of mercantile success the private sector had with building High Liner, then frankly you're living in a dream world. Involving itself in the running and expansion of seafood processing and marketing ventures is not the mandate of government. The mandate of government is to provide a stable environment to facilitate and enable such ventures to conduct business.

A Little Something To Kick-start Your Fall Shopping Spree.
To celebrate the relaunch of my good friend, Jordan's ever popular party blog and DIY resource, I'm With Cupcake, a few of us got together and contributed to this amazing $500 Amazon gift card giveaway! We know how you've been eying that little-too-expensive blender or craving an excuse to justify buying that new Kindle or a pricey box set has been calling your name. Whatever the urge, whatever the dream consider it fulfilled!
Enter for a chance to win this amazing prize! Please note that this giveaway is only for residents of Canada and the USA only. For the full list of details including eligibility and rules, go to I'm With Cupcake.
Good luck!
The Secret Ingredient.
We're going to take a little detour today. This blog is normally cruising down sweet street toward glistening pink frosting, melting chocolate chips and happy rainbow sprinkles. Today we're taking the road less travelled, today we're speeding down savoury street toward crisp green onions, melting cheddar cheese and tangy ranch dressing.
Today's detour is brought to you by the kind folks at Hidden Valley Ranch. You may recall last year around this time I shared with you a delicious Vegetarian Ranch Pizza that remains one of my all-time favourite pizzas. This year for the Ranchify Recipe Challenge we are once again tasked with creating a recipe with ranch dressing that makes eating your vegetables not only yummy but fun!
At our house, we're a huge fan of mashed potatoes. As a picky kid, I used to hide my distasteful vegetables under my mashed potatoes, so I thought why not do the same thing as an adult? Mashed cauliflower is far better for you than a mound of starchy potatoes and, honestly, I think it tastes way better! I like to think of myself as a reformed picky eater. I try to sneak as many vegetables into our meals as I can and this challenge was the best excuse to go one step further.
With loads of fragrant garlic, punches of powerful parmesan, potatoes for texture and, of course, a little help from tangy Hidden Valley Cheese Ranch dressing this is an entree to fool any picky kid or stubborn adult. Cauliflower is the same colour as potatoes so it's the perfect crime. Feed it to your unsuspecting family and dare them to list the secret ingredient!
And Now A Word From Our Sponsors.
Please welcome to the Hot Polka Dot family two new sponsors!
The first is Ezebee, a unique international community and marketplace where people looking to buy or sell creative handmade products can meet. You can find everything from trendy chevron change purses to gold and pink leather wrap bracelets, colourblock faux leather pencil skirts to industrial steampunk lighting, origami crane mobiles to knitted infinity scarves.
What I love most about Ezebee is that, unlike other online craft showrooms, it's totally free of charge to create your own shop and sell your beautiful wares. They also don't claim a commission on any of the sales. As a former Etsy shop owner I can tell you that's a pretty big deal. They even offer a bunch of ways to customize and market your shop. The site was recently redesigned to be streamlined, efficient and super cute. Check it out!
The second is Beutiful Magazine, a forward-thinking online magazine that touches on subjects like equality, racism, self confidence, eating disorders, well-being and happiness. All powerful thought-provoking subjects that we so often ignore. It's important to note the intentional misspelling of beautiful. Beutiful Magazine is not about about mascara, skinny jeans, nail polish, weight loss or hairspray. It's about loving yourself for who you are, breaking the mold and letting go of the ridiculous expectations we place on ourselves. It's about being you.
This is a message that I think we can all agree on, but so often forget. Especially as a woman, I know that we put ourselves down, judge ourselves too harshly and hold ourselves to impossible airbrushed photoshopped standards. Our "flaws" as we call them are what make us unique, special and beautiful. As Colin Firth said so eloquently in Bridget Jones's Diary "I like you, very much. Just as you are."
And The Winner Is…
Congratulations Sherrie M! You've just won an amazing Kraft gift basket! I hope you put it to good use and maybe make a cheesecake or two.

Beautifully Bronzed
Simple Steps to get the Perfect Summer Glow
1) Choosing the Shade. None of us want to look like an oompa loompa so be mindful when picking your color to only go two to three shades darker than your skin tone. The goal is to highlight your features and to look naturally bronzed, not dirty. Hold the makeup up to your face to get an idea or ask a makeup artist to color match you with the correct shade that will compliment your skin tone.
2) Using the Right Tools. To get the best application you need to get a bronzer brush. For an all over glow get a full bristled, round brush to get an even look and more coverage with each swipe. To get the movie star look invest in a contour brush to contour the face, to accentuate cheek bones and the jaw line.
3) All about Application. Now that you have the right shade and the right tools, you're ready to apply your new summer bronzer. Start at the top of the forehead and sweep the brush down the side of the face. Curve in just below the cheek bone to accentuate your facial structure, then continue down along the side of the face and down the jaw line. Do this technique on both sides of the face for an even, symmetrical look.
4) Be sure to Blend. Don't leave any harsh color lines or drastic shade differences on your face. Blend makeup into the face with your bronzer brush for a smooth transition into lighter areas of your skin. Most importantly, there is nothing worse than a color difference between the face and neck so don't forget to blend the bronzer down your neck (if you're wearing your hair up be sure to blend to the back of your neck as well). Top off your look by blending a shimmery shade bronzer into your cheek bones and along your nose for a glowing highlighted effect.

We just moved here this yr. my tomato plants stopped growing, leaves curling, very little foliage. I mixes coffee grounds in with top soil & a little peat moss when planted in may. i water once a week, have a raised bed with peppers & herbs that are doing great had to put tomatoes in the ground. live in zone 5 hbg PA thanks in advance for help. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hate ot say it, but looks like some kind of herbicide damage. Was there any spraying done nearby? There are several threads on this subject. Your lower foliage looks good. Maybe if you remove some of the damaged branches it will force some new growth. |
Agree with Ed - herbicide damage. It can be the drift from spraying by you or a neighbor up to 1/2 a mile away. Tomato plants are exceptionally susceptible to it. It can also be brought in to the garden in mulch or compost added to the soil. Search 'herbicide damage' here for many discussions about it. Dave |
thanks, I will try cutting out some damaged branches hope for new growth, will update after I start picking nice juicy tomatoes :) |

Niagara County SPCA makes positive steps to becoming a no kill shelter
BY: Community Papers of WNY Staff | October 15, 2012
Exciting news for the Niagara County SPCA. Do to the current success on their path and goal of becoming a no kill shelter, the SPCA has made some big changes to better help achieve these goals.
Amy Lewis, who helped save the shelter during the toughest time in the shelter's history, along with the new Board of Directors, together have tremendously increased the numbers animals placed into homes or rescue situations, care, fostering and re-homing furry visitors realize that there is much more that still needs to be done.
There is not enough time in a day for any one person to run the entire operation of the shelter on te current mission path so as of Oct. 1, the Niagara County SPCA has made some fantastic changes.
Lewis will be taking over as shelter director to "laser guide" into achieving the no kill initiative and to implement the enormous tasks and programs involved in achieving this.
Andrew Bell the most recent board president has resigned his position from the board and will be coming aboard as the Executive Director to guide them through the enormous business needs and expenses involved in running a business with these lofty new goals.
Bryan Barish was voted in as new board president and Dave Bauer was voted in as new vice president.
The board is extremely excited about these changes and feel that these individuals, with the support of the Board of Directors, will get them to being a no kill shelter.
With these goals the SPCA has never been in more need of the support of individual, corporate donors and sponsors. This initiative is very costly and with the huge loss of donors prior to the new management taking over they are in need.
We are very confident that animal lovers everywhere will support us with these goals. We also invite all of our friends and Zombies to our first annual Zombiefest fund-raiser from 2 p.m. to 11 p.m. Oct. 27, at the Niagara County SPCA.
To view adoptable animals, please visit Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from noon to 8 p.m., Fridays from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sundays from noon to 5 p.m. or visit niagaraspca.org.

- Conference date: 26-30 July 2004
- Location: Heidelberg (Germany)
The detection of an unidentified extended TeV γ‐ray source in the Southern Cross region close to the galactic plane being named HESS J1303‐631 is reported. The observations have been performed between February and June 2004 with the new stereoscopic system of four Cherenkov telescopes operated by the H.E.S.S. collaboration in Namibia. The telescopes were initially pointed to the binary system PSR B1259‐63/SS 2883 which was for the first time detected at TeV energies within this observation campaign (see parallel paper). In the same dataset the unidentified TeV source HESS J1303‐631 has been discovered serendipitously roughly 0.6° north of the PSR B1259‐63 position leading — for the first time in TeV γ‐ray astronomy — to the detection of two sources within the same field of view. The new source is extended on the 0.2° level and — up to now — no counterpart in other wavelengths has been identified. The measured flux is compatible with constant emission on the 10% flux level of the Crab nebula and shows a hard energy spectrum which can be described by a power‐law with an index of Γ = 2.2 ± 0.2stat. In this paper various consistency checks which confirm the celestial origin of the observed excess are presented and preliminary results on the source extension and energy spectrum of the source are reported.

Reggie Watts, Miles Fisher & Mike Castle get 'Bad Advice From My Brother'
Actors Reggie Watts, Miles Fisher and Mike Castle are going to be giving (and receiving) some bad advice. The trio have been cast in Comedy Central's comedy pilot Bad Advice From My Brother.
The plot centers around brothers Jason (played by Fisher) the not-so-wise older brother, who has spent most of his post-college life chasing after money and women, and Ben (played by Castle) the younger bro who has a desire to be just like their neighbor Reggie (played by Watts). When Ben decides to move in, Jason makes the decision to think about his mistakes and lead his brother in an opposite path. But Jason's advice is typically very bad and creates more problems than anything.
Bad Advice From My Brother will be executive produced by Brad Copeland and directed by Chris Koch.

I feel like a load has been lifted off my shoulders and I need to thank my fellow GWers for that. I so love the current trend of white kitchens with white marble or grey quartzite counters, and I wanted that for our home. That is literally all I see in magazines and on the web. Reality is that marble is simply impractical for us and white and grey just do not work with the rest of my house. It took a few recent threads for me to get the message that I need to work with the home I have or all this effort would be for nothing. SO, I went back to the stone yard today, with a decorator and an open mind and heart, and together we found the perfect stone for my home! Yahoo! It marries the stained woodwork I have in part of the house with the painted woodwork and cabinets I will have in the kitchen. Seems like Super White was the star of the show last year and white quartzites continue to rule on this forum, but in my neck of the woods this dark granite will look stunning with my alabaster cabinets! Now I understand the caption under the Decorating Forum, Decorate for the life you really have, not the life you wish you had. - Magnaverde Rule No. 16. I will sleep well tonight and I wish the same for everyone else struggling with renovation selections. |

That stone is gorgeous. I can imagine it in a kitchen making nice warm counters. |
Gorgeous stone, and it will help make for a gorgeous kitchen, and home! |

That is beautiful! And you sound so happy :-) |
Absolutely gorgeous. |
Fabulous! Please post pictures after install? That really looks amazing. And it looks like you being there for templating (and taking pictures!) will be very important with that stone. |

Your stone is beautiful!! That is good advice. I need to rule out marble as I have two boys (10 & 13) and a messy husband and I'm sure it would end up looking terrible. Onward... |

Thank you all! I was feeling so defeated and feeling a bit of reno fatiguge. Having this in place makes such a differrence, I feel like I can enjoy this process again. I would certainly recommend to anyone to get professional guidance if you feel like you are hitting a wall. Sometimes a different set of eye is all you need! |
- Posted by pricklypearcactus (My Page) on Wed, Sep 11, 13 at 12:50
I am usually all about gray, but that is one sexy stone. I think you've done a wonderful job picking a beautiful stone and I'm so happy you found one that you love that will work with the home you have. Congratulations! |
Beautiful! What is the name of the granite? |

Very pretty...glad youre content :) |
- Posted by firsthouse_mp (My Page) on Wed, Sep 11, 13 at 15:19
It's a beautiful stone. Good for you for realizing that you should work with what you have. I have seen some crazy mixes at open houses where the outside is distinctly California Hacienda style and then you walk inside and find the interior totally in conflict, decked out in all Asian-inspired furniture and decorations. I think you are going to love that counter material--it's got awesome movement and coloring! Whew, now you can move ahead with all the other billion decisions for the kitchen! |
- Posted by jellytoast (My Page) on Wed, Sep 11, 13 at 15:50
Good post and good advice. And I love that stone! |
I'm really glad you're happy and excited about your new counters, Sparklebread. It's a gorgeous stone that will look fantastic with your cabinets. Choosing a finish to fit the picture it's going into is extremely wise. Good for you. |

Spice Chloe Dining Chairs, Set of 2
Met my Expectations
The product was represented very well on the website. The colors were as I expected. I wasn't expecting as good of quality for the price and was pleasantly surprised. They were very sturdy once I put them together. I won't know if they will stand up to years of use since they are new, but I have no reason to think that they won't and the spring support seems well made. They are also very comfortable. Really you can't beat the style and uniqueness for the price.
May 28, 2013
Beautiful, comfortable, versatile
I purchased two of the Spice Chloe Dining Chairs. I am very pleased with them--beautiful deep coral color. We are using them in our living room. Their size works well since the living room area is small. We have a short-haired dog, and his stay hair wipes off easily. The chairs are comfortable. Our guests say they like the way the chair back hugs them when they sit in the chairs. We liked the price as well. We had an easier time assembling the second chair--worth the effort. FYI The instructions say to tighten the screws every 3 months; I thought that was an interesting point.
May 28, 2013
Love orange
We love the orange fabric and how it adds some punch to our dining room. They were super easy to assemble. One chair had some problems but Cost Plus immediately shipped out another set.
They are low chairs so we are looking at how to add some height to the chair. I think they are about 18" from the floor and other chairs seem to be 19 to 20" from the floor.

Biliary Intervention at Sky Ridge Medical Center
Biliary interventions are minimally invasive procedures performed to treat blockages or narrowing in bile ducts.
Bile, a fluid that helps digest fat in foods, is produced in the liver and flows through ducts or tubular passageways leading to the gallbladder where it is stored. When needed, the gallbladder contracts and releases bile through ducts into the small intestine.
If the bile ducts become blocked, bile cannot pass into the intestine and this may result in jaundice (in which the level of bile products in the blood becomes elevated). If the jaundice becomes severe, the patient will appear to have a yellowish hue, particularly in the whites of the eye. If the duct that connects the gallbladder to the rest of the bile ducts becomes blocked (usually due to gallstones in the gallbladder), this results in inflammation or infection (cholecystitis). This is generally treated by surgical removal of the gallbladder — either laparoscopically (minimally invasive) or by conventional open surgery. However, when patients are too ill to undergo surgical cholecystectomy, a percutaneous cholecystectomy may be performed by an interventional radiologist.
Biliary interventions include:
- Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC), an X-ray procedure that involves the injection of a contrast material directly into the bile ducts inside the liver to produce pictures of the bile ducts. If a blockage or narrowing is found, additional procedures may be performed, including:
- Insertion of a catheter to drain excess bile out of the body.
- Removal of gallstones, stone-like objects that form in the gallbladder or bile ducts.
- Stent placement, in which a small plastic or metal tube is placed inside a duct to help it remain open or to bypass an obstruction and allow fluids to drain internally.
- Percutaneous cholecystostomy, a minimally invasive procedure in which a tube is placed in the gallbladder under imaging guidance in order to decompress a distended, inflamed and usually infected gallbladder. This procedure is typically done in patients who are too ill to undergo cholecystectomy. It is usually performed by an interventional radiologist.
Common Uses of a Biliary Intervention
There are several conditions that can cause a blockage or narrowing in bile duct, including:
- Gallstones, either in the gallbladder or in the bile ducts
- Infection
- Inflammation - pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas), sclerosing cholangitis (inflammation of the bile ducts)
- Injury to the bile ducts during surgery
- Tumors - cancer of the pancreas, gallbladder, bile duct, liver, or enlarged lymph nodes due to a variety of different tumors

Is it Halloween or Christmas? This Tuesday has been jam-packed with fabulous releases,including one of the biggest drops of the year, so let's dive right in.
Arcade Fire, Reflektor
This one's a no-brainer: Arcade Fire only releases an album, historically, every three years, so any release is one to be thrilled about. Reflektor takes a different thematic direction than past hits The Suburbs, Funeral, and Neon Bible, drawing on everything from Haitian culture to Dutch philosophy to films of the 1950′s to create a sweeping album that addresses isolation in the modern age. Oh, and producer and featured credits from James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem and David Bowie doesn't hurt. The critics have spoken– Reflektor is something new from the group but feels familiar in the layers of sound of Win Butler's distinct vocals.
Los Campesinos!, No Blues
Few bands formed in college can claim to the success Los Campesinos! has since graduating in 2006, and are celebrating the release of their fourth album No Blues. With killer new single "Avacado, Baby", the music video to boot, and the complimentary download through Soundcloud promotion, the indie mavens keep their sound high-spirited and more mature in the new album. Appealing to a broader audience than before, No Blues is poised to become Los Campesinos!'s landmark album– their sound boiled down to its purest, most enjoyable form.
Asgeir, In The Silence
Asgeir is an Icelandic artist who is barely allowed to drink in the United States, but has already established himself as one of the most successful Icelandic musicians in history (eclipsing fellow Icelanders Of Monsters and Men), and is releasing the English-language version of his smash debut Icelandic debut in late 2012. Asgeir, then operating under full name Asgeir Trausti, visited Boston for WERS's Reykjavik Calling back in the spring, and has since become a household name in Iceland, with one in every ten households owing a copy of the album.

"Great recipe. Close as you can get to a Quarter original without being there. I use the leftovers from high temperature cooked roast and slice them very thin for this recipe. Heiner's steak buns are a good backup for Quarter french."
