text:
When a suspected witch was convicted of a crime and sentenced to be hanged, she fiercely defended the fact that she was innocent. However, no one heeded her declaration, and the punishment was enforced. When at the gallows, the witch cursed the mayor and promised to haunt him to his grave. No paranormal activity was reported by the mayor, but on his grave is a boot print. If the print is removed, it will reappear in no more than a few days.

I am pretty sure that this information is not correct. The town that is in this story is Bucksport, ME, not Old Town, ME. The person in that you are referring to is Jonathan Buck, who Bucksport is named after. There you will find the witches foot upon his gravestone.

I live in central Maine, and the town in the story is Bucksport, and it was Jonathan Buck. This is a true story if anyone ever gets to visit the site of the grave, very cool!!

I have lived in Bucksport most of my life, and being interested in the paranormal have started a website. On this web page I have several true accounts dispelling the witch's curse. There are more things in the dark to be scared of, then made up stories to fit a natural discoloration in a block of granite. Believe me, and check my site out.

To the person who inquired where the cemetary was located of Captain Buck, it's on the main road in Bucksport, right across from the Shop 'N Save. You have to park on a side street, then walk around the corner to view the tombstone.

I remember this story from when I grew up in Downeast ME. In the 1980′s there was a highly documented change of the grave stone of Mr.Buck. The stone was changed and guarded for 24 hours by the local police. It was also recorded by a local TV station. Before the sun rose the next morning the boot or foot had apered on the new stone where it still shows up today. When going to Bucksport this is really a must see attraction. I do remember this as a story of a broken heart and if I remember correctly, there was also a heart on the stone. I remember the story being told to me like this.
Mr.Buck was married and had had an affair with the witch. He broke her heart and as not to have her tell the story of his affair he had her hung. The witch cursed him as she was being hung that he would have her heart and she would walk on him forever. There has always been an imprint of a heart and a foot on the

Jenn Smith says: |

This is, as people have already said, about the cemetary in Bucksport. Buck was my something-great-uncle, which is why I'm particularly well-informed in regards to the tombstone. (The only haunting I know of near Old Town is the haunted frat house on the UMaine campus.) As for the location of the cemetary, you need to take Route 1 (not 1A) towards Bar Harbor and the Downeast region. It will take you right past it. If you hit the McDonald's, you've gone too far, but it's a good place to turn around as the cemetary is on the other side of the road. The tombstone is in the very front corner and has its own sign. Somewhere I have a picture I took of the grave that- scout's honor- you can see the upper half of a woman hovering over it. Maybe someone else has a picture like that as well?

This story is not correct, however. It takes place in Bucksport, not Old Town. The story is that a woman was accused of killing her husband and she said if she was innocent, there would be the shape of her foot on her grave stone. That's the real story.
Rebecca says: |
October 29, 2006, 7:58 pm |
I live in Maine and have taken a few courses in Maine history. The story takes place in Bucksport, Maine. The woman was Jonathan Buck's mistress, and he had her put to death, calling her a witch, thus why people today say she was a witch. The woman was tied to her own door and burnt. While being burned, she promised to dance upon Jonathan Buck's grave. One of her feet fell into the fire while she burned, the other fell out, just in front of her son. It is unknown whether or not this son is also the son of Jonathan Buck. There have been chemical and physical attempts at removing the foot on the stone, but nothing has worked.

Krashlander is a physics powered game that will have you blasting down large mountain slopes and soaring over gaping crevices to attack the evil robots that destroyed your world.
The controls for Krashlander are unique and require some practice to perfect. While in my mind they are definitely worth taking the time to learn, they are not for everyone.
If learning a new control mechanic is not something that interests you this game may not be a good fit.
That said, the learning can be part of the fun. The crashes can be epic and fun to watch and if you approach the game with the right mind-set I don't think you will be disappointed.
-Jeff Weber (Developer of Krashlander)
Cool game – Challenging! ★★★★★
"This game utilizes the most unique control scheme I've ever seen. It's also the most skillful and precise I have played on the iPad. This game is challenging but if you give it a chance it is very rewarding. At first it seems hard to control but becomes easier with time. Once you master it there's nothing quite like it." by S.Grits
Innovative controls ★★★★★
"Great app, takes a solid amount of time to perfect but is a lot of fun when you do." by Jonathan Opara
Great game! ★★★★★
"Original, fun, challenging, addicting and beautiful. Great game!" by poehneltj
-A fluid and precise physics-based control mechanic borrowed from an awesome, old abandoned game called Ski Stunt Simulator.
-A crazy amount of epic rigid-body style crashing can be expected.
-A dedicated one-man development team with a notebook full of update ideas. This first release is very much just the beginning.
Evil robots from another planet have destroyed your world.
Revenge is your mission.
Your krashsuit is your weapon.
The story behind Krashlander is short and not so sweet. You play as the last remaining human, once a member of an elite force of Krashlanders.
As a Krashlander, you wear protective a krashsuit, ski down mountains, and crash into things. The krashsuit is your weapon. It is also, with it's ability to protect and heal, your savior.
As the last remaining Krashlander, now simply going by the name Krashlander, your only mission is to exact revenge on the robots that destroyed your world.
The learning curve for the Krashlander control system, if plotted on a graph, would very closely align with the learning curve for riding a bike. When you first learned to ride a bike, you were probably pretty wobbly and over-steered a lot. You probably also fell on your bum often. Eventually, though, it all just clicked and became second nature.
Krashlander is a lot like this. If you get to the point where it "clicks", I think you will be impressed with what you can do and the feeling you get while doing it.
Have fun and krash well!
Krashlander Review
In Krashlander, alien robots have invaded Earth. For some reason, your best method of attack is to ski across dangerous terrain and body-slam into these invaders. Your main weapon here is speed, and you will need to learn to maneuver, jump, and maintain balance in order to reach your targets. Otherwise, physics will take over, and you'll only tumble off a cliff. The controls for Krashlander are clever and simple. In each level, you have Read More

Most of the canna bulbils I have I bought on ebay. I think most folks plant the rhizomes instead of bulbils. Folks here at the Seed Swap forum may have some for you. I did a search for the plant Datura once and it led me to an Italian website. What does the word Datura mean in your language? Congrats on the World Cup! |
With the word Datura we usually mean Brugmansia + Datura. It is only a few years that you can find the plants well labelled. Did you ment this with your question? Thanks for the winning. Alberto |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Jemma!
Facts about Jemma
- Breed: Chihuahua Mix
- Color: White - With Red, Golden, Orange Or Chestnut
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Jemma's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Hi, my name is Jemma. I am 6 months old and am looking for my forever home. I am super sweet, loyal and piddle pad trained. I love being with you. I may be shy at first but give me a few days and I will be your best friend ever! I love other dogs , kids and being in your lap. I am the best kisser ever and am really good at helping you eat your chicken. I am a fast fast learner and just want to please you. If you would like to meet me, please go to our website at www.RescueAChi.com and fill out an application.
Other Pets at Chihuahua Rescue of San Diego
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Jemma, a San Diego Chihuahua puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua for sale in San Diego, or seeking a Chihuahua puppy from a breeder in San Diego.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in San Diego already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a San Diego breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Chihuahua breeders who help with Chihuahua rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in San Diego paves the way for another one to be saved.

Alumna selected for Fulbright in Brazil
Regina Fuller's teaching assignment begins in February
Regina Fuller '11 with Jerome Jackson, a retired Marine and Fuller's "American dad in Ghana" at her graduation from the University of Ghana.
– Wofford College 2011 graduate Regina Fuller has been watching telanovelas and YouTube videos to bone up on her Portuguese. A Spanish major who primarily has been living in Ghana since graduation, she'll need the practice as she begins a Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship assignment in Brazil beginning in February.

"I have an English Teaching Assistantship (ETA) and will be teaching English for 10 hours a week and doing research the other 30 hours," says Fuller, whose research will focus on adult education and women's literacy, an interest she developed as a Rotary Ambassadorial Scholar at the University of Ghana (UG). She also was Wofford's 2009-10
Presidential International Scholar
, and her travels around the world to developing countries on an independent study project took her to Brazil and Ghana, places she vowed to revisit.
"I never went to a big school in the U.S., and Wofford really, really spoiled me," says Fuller, who attended Spartanburg High School. "As much as I loved my department at UG, which only had 12 people, being in a university of 40,000 people – the standing in line with thousands of people for classes – was an experience I'm not sure I want to repeat. I appreciate Wofford so much more. When you know people's names, things happen more efficiently."
Fuller lived in a noisy, undergraduate dorm in Ghana for a year before moving in with a local woman who often kept her grandchildren. It took a year for the university to review and approve her master's thesis. The date and time of graduation were up in the air until a few days before the event. According to Fuller, it was all part of the experience.
"It was really good for me to be in a classroom with people who didn¹t think like me," says Fuller, who started out studying Methodism in Ghana and the way the Ghanaians Africanized their religious experience. Spending time with the Methodists in Ghana and teaching adult education with the NGO also helped her notice and start to address the disparities in education.
"Going to elementary school isn't free in Ghana, so many women, and even some older men, didn't get the opportunity to go to school," Fuller says. "I really like education and think that's what I want to do. Spending a year as a Fulbright is a way for me to get more experience in the field." After the Fulbright, which runs until December 2014, Fuller will enter a Ph.D. program. Eventually she would like to work with USAID or another international agency, helping guide U.S. policy and funding in the area of adult education.
"One of the things I've seen in global aid is that lots of money is given to primary education, but if parents aren't literate, they can't help children with their school work," she says. "Most Ghanaians are in the informal sector. Because of their lack of education, their opportunities are limited. Educating someone's mom may not be as cool, but it's a necessity."
Fuller was known at Wofford as a dedicated researcher and student with a global perspective. In addition to her Presidential International Scholars project, "Exploring the African Diaspora," she studied Afro-Caribbean culture and the rejection of African identity in the Dominican Republic and Brazil. She also completed an internship on Capitol Hill with U.S. Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C., and she participated in Bard College's Globalization and International Affairs Program in New York City in the summer of 2008. For the summer 2010 Community of Scholars, an interdisciplinary research program, she worked on a film documentary on the music and dancing she observed during her
Presidential International Scholar
year of travel.
Fuller, who majored in
intercultural studies
, is the daughter of Paulette Fuller of Spartanburg and Ronnie Crawford of Chesnee, S.C. She was a Daniel Scholar at Wofford.
The Fulbright English Teaching Assistant (ETA) Program places recent college graduates and young professionals as English teaching assistants in primary and secondary schools or universities overseas, improving foreign students' English language abilities and knowledge of the United States while increasing the U.S. student's own language skills and knowledge of the host country. ETAs also may pursue individual study/research plans in addition to their teaching responsibilities.

Prune each branch back to 2 healthy leaves and get it into better light than where its sited now. It will back-bud profusely & give you lots of additional pruning opportunities. As the new branches develop, as soon as they have 4-5 leaves on them, prune them back to 2 healthy leaves. That's how you maximize ramification and foliage density. Don't forget to repot if your plant needs it. You can do that now in your zone, but I'd stagger the work or repotting or pruning by 2-3 weeks. It doesn't matter which you do first in this case, but I generally prefer repotting first, followed by a hard pruning after the tree gets its feet back under it. Al |
Thanks Al, will get the choppers ready! It gets lots of sunlight where it is, southern facing. Photo was taken in the morning, so mostly eastern sun at that moment. |

Your variegated Ficus elastica is very healthy and growing as nature intended. That means that it loses some older (lower) leaves as it adds more on top. The lower leaf loss is not at all excessive and that tells me that you are providing good light and proper watering. The pot size is just fine. The only way to get new leaf growth on the lower portion of the stems is to prune them back that far because new growth only comes in at the top end of each stem. You can prune back all of the stems at once, but your plant will be an eyesore for several months until the new growth is established. An alternative is to prune back one or two stems and leave the others. After the pruned back stems start to produce new growth, you can then prune back one or two other stems. This is a more gradual approach that essentially recycles your plant without it ever being obvious. This is just an alternative approach. There is no right or wrong way. ~Will |
thanks Will, advice much appreciated! |

You should be able to propagate the tips you remove, if interested. If you go for a significant reduction in height, which I would do if for no other reason than to shorten/strengthen weak branches, I would remove the stake supports to give it a chance at supporting itself. If it's not able to hold itself up, the reason is usually not enough light. Removing the stakes would also allow it to move in the wind, which is what necessitates that they become stronger, kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you rotate porch plants halfway a couple times per month (or about 25% per week) it will stay as even as possible, not leaning toward the sun. Your plant is awesomely pretty! I had one slightly taller but with solid green leaves that I let get too cold. Still regret that & miss it! |

I was thinking about what more I could do with the Beer Machine that originally got me into brewing. This last weekend I brewed this specialty grain and extract recipe in there: 2 lbs Bulk Light LME 1 lb Extra Light DME ½ lb Pilsner Malt 1 oz Warrior Hops 1 oz Saaz Hops Nottingham Dry Yeast Followed normal brewing procedure and then dumped it all in the Beer Machine and pitched the yeast dry. Already lots of fermentation and slowing down a little. Just tasted it and it is right on the money taste-wise just two days after pitching. I have realized there are several nice things about the Beer Machine 1. You can taste the beer easily, just tap some off and let the head settle then test away with the hydrometer and taste some too. 2. It gives you the PSI in the keg and lets you pump in CO2 if you want to. 3. Since it is closed it captures all the natural carbonation if you brew with it. It will hold a steady 15 PSI and release all the extra CO2 past that, then reabsorb into the beer when cooled. The next time I brew this smaller recipe I plan to brew it to an almost complete primary and then put it in the Beer Machine to act like a keg and force carb it instead of priming with anything. I will also do this when my Cyser finishes and then back sweeten it, stick it in the Beer Machine in the fridge and force carb it for sweet sparkling cyser. Thought I would share my ideas and experiences with this kit since it is what I started with. I know lots of brewers out there probably have them just sitting around gathering dust with no idea what to use them for now since they are "serious" brewers at this point. Get em out and experiment, it's a system with merit if you invest a little time and ingenuity in it.
I can see that they are useful for small experimental batches.
but its plastic?
Brewfrick, I too have done somehting similar. I got a beer machine for Christmas and have been "experimenting" with method and ingredients. I have tried the "Beer Mixes" that came included with the kit, used it as perscribed and made an evaluation; Beer was not awful, but lacked depth, character and full flavor. I knew whay this was and decided to try it a different way. Next mix I treated differently with time. Instead of 5 in primary, I let it go a full seven days. I racked it to another container (a Mr. Beer fermenter) and let it clarify for nearly two weeks. Bottles that whole batch with corn sugar and it's been sitting for a week so far. Hindsight shows that I should have taken advantage of he CO2 build up that happened during primary and stuck it into the fridge for some natural carbing. Nonetheless, I opened one bottle last night and was astounded by the clarity from the secondary transfer and the carb from dextrose. SO overall, the results look promising. Now, last week I bought a kit from the LHBS for a sweet stout with grains for a "mini-mash" recipe. The guy up there in the shop was cool to "customize" the kit to a half batch measure. Went home, did a boil etc etc, just like the directions for a full batch would have been for any other kit or system. Then, chilled, aerated and pitched a full vial of WL ale yeast. It finished primary in about 6 days and I now have it in the fridge absorbing the CO2 so that I can have some natural carb. I tasted a 4oz sample last night and it also is right on the money! Color, etc etc. I will wait it out for a few days, rack to a secondary for clarification then bottle at two weeks. All in all, it's a cool little keg system with a pressure gauge and force carbing unit if you don't want to brew 5 gallons every time. No one said that you had to use it the way the Beer Machine people say, and since I have recieved it as a gift, I may as well make it work for the money my wife paid for it until I see fit to move on. Good for you!!
I use my little mr. beer kegs all the time. They don't have any carbing potential, of course, but they're nice for Turbo Cider or something light that's not going to need a secondary. Actually, I picked another one up at Bed Bath and Beyond last month. Somebody gave it to their alcoholic friend for Christmas and he was smart enough to take it back for a refund. Anyway, it ended up on the clearance table--originally 49.95, i got it for $17. I proceeded to make the IPA they have in their recipe book. It'll be interesting to see how it comes out. Mr. Beer has major limitations, but when I first used their system the biggest problem was the idiot doing the brewing. We'll see how it comes out with less "human error".
hahahah, what a great present for an alcoholic! atleast it would teach him patience with alcohol.. or maybe he would RDWHAHB into a coma...
Have a good one mate, K Primary: Nierra Sevada Carboy1: Sanitizer Carboy2: Sanitizer Kegged - Burnt down the Hause ale
I got a beer machine for christmas too. And i already new how to brew. So when i looked at the directions and it said ferment 5 days then in to a fridge for 7 then drink, i said no wayam i following that. I ferment 14 days then add gelatin then into the fridge fora few days then drink. Also their lager beer kit that came with their standard ale yeast was not used. I used real lager yeast am fermenting in a cold room for 4 weeks. I also boiled some hops to add to the batch for some charicter. I also purchased a Miller home draft system for 18 bucks and i will be using that as a tap a draft. Plus its nice to have something to drink while im waiting

Unhealthy and immoral political games about Armenia and Turkey / Love and hope
To start with, the religious leader of the Armenian-rooted Turkish citizens of Turkey stated recently (towards France) : Do not interfere with the matters between Turkey and Armenia.
But many French politicians decided to interfere owing to two reasons: to weaken Turkey and for short-term domestic political gains.
Now I do want to suggest that former post of mine:
I quote myself:
"Several countries seem to have an amnesia or an allergy about their past but they have none about the one of Turkey.
These countries ought to look in the mirror before launching missiles of critics to Turkey from their desk.
Why so much obsession about Turkey? Why do so many journalists and politicians in the EU (especially in France) and in the USA keep asking Turkey to face with its past? Is it really in the name of History? Or is it because they want to gain more votes and/or to weaken Turkey? But why don't they ask at first France, Spain, the English, the USA, …. to face with their past?
Message to these journalists and especially to these politicians:
Atatürk's army hung some of those who were responsible for that period of horror against the Armenians.
I was born in France, and I was always told that what happened in 1915 in the Ottoman Empire was a genocide. I always believed that. But today I am in the confusion because one year ago Turkey suggested Armenia to create an international investigation group of historians (from any country in the world). But as far as I know, Armenia still hasn't answered to Turkey. I do not understand. Would not that investigation group of historians unblock the situation?
Before I discovered Turkey, I was never told that some countries manipulated the Armenians in order to share out Anatolia. I wasn't told neither that many Turks were killed by the Armenian extremists in 1915. Because France 2, TF1 or Arte Info as well as the History books never dealt with that. Never. Though I've been watching the news on France 2 since the age of 12.
Why don't France, Russia, Germany, the UK, the EU and the USA support Turkey's suggestion and decide to send their historians to that international investigation group?
Since some US and EU politicians are "so concerned" of that period of horror, don't they think that an international investigation group of historians would be a sensible step?
Those within the EU and the USA who manipulate that dark period of History for political gains, especially at election time, have no dignity and are immoral. That is a lack of respect to the memory of all those who lost their lives. The sole objective of these politicians with no conscience is to gain the votes of their Armenian-rooted citizens. They don't look at 1915 as human beings but as corrupt politicians.
By the way, Sarkozy was asked about what France did in Algeria, and he answered: "That subject should be dealt with by historians".
Well, Turkey wants historians of the world to investigate about 1915.
But regarding Turkey, Sarkozy prefers mixing politics and History, since he is used to aiming at taking advantage of the votes of the Armenian-rooted French citizens.
But when it comes to the past of France in Algeria, Sarkozy thinks differently.
Therefore we can really wonder: are Sarkozy and the French assembly credible?
If that kind of politicians really want to help humanity, they ought to stop that unhealthy and immoral game.
The USA can't change because of their electoral system.
As for the EU, since it is not even able to resolve the Cypriot issue (and actually, it does not even want to), how will it be able to resolve other bigger issues?
But I do think that the EU of Robert Schuman and Jean Monnet still exists. And it has the moral duty to help Armenia and Turkey to resolve their issues. Especially since 1999, when Turkey became an official candidate to the EU. In fact, Turkey's problems are more than ever those of the EU. But has the EU the will to change?
Some criticize Turkey because it doesn't implement the protocol that it signed with Armenia. They are right. But maybe that Azerbaijan threatened Turkey and the EU to not support the colossal Nabucco gas project anymore. The Azeris don't want Turkey to open its frontier with Armenia because of the Upper Karabakh, which Armenia occupies (Turkey closed its frontier with Armenia in 1993 because of that occupation).
Azerbaijan has then become involved. Since the EU has loads of energy about the Nabucco project, why wouldn't it have some energy about the problems between Turkey-Armenia and Armenia-Azerbaijan? (The EU has lots of energy to block Turkey's EU membership process by inventing new problems such as the Cypriot issue, but it is not very clear regarding the occupation of Armenia of the Upper Karabakh – January 24th 2011).
Last but not least, it is said that some dark lobbies don't want these problems in the Caucasus to be resolved, because they still aim at destabilizing Turkey. Will the EU be united and strong enough to offset their anti-peace plans?
Should not Armenia join the Alliance of civilizations created by Mr Zapatero and Mr Erdoğan? That would be another sensible step."
Eventually I also want to suggest that former post that breathes hope and peace:
Let's thwart the shadowy plans of those who try to manipulate and divide us, we the citizens of the world.
Let's unite.
I'm looking forward to reading comments about the two above-mentioned posts as well as that current post. I'm curious. Thank you very much for your interest.
Yours faithfully,

In an effort to show his French teammates what he's learned in four NHL games, Stephane Da Costa of the Ottawa Senators smacked a Denmark skater with a careless hit from behind during a 'friendly' contest. The officials trying to break up the post-hit skirmish and Da Costa's declaration of "I'll fu*k you up" are the real gems here.
The hit has a bit of a Jarret Stoll on Ian White feel from Game 1 between San Jose and L.A. to it, albeit along the sideboards instead of behind the net.
Stupid, but not malicious on the part of Da Costa. That's some NHL quality boarding right there, though.

Once a Castro bass-fishing refuge (Bohío 33 was El Comandante's), this odd hideaway spread over 12 little islands in the Laguna del Tesoro has bohíos with good screens and adequate comforts—though the mosquitoes can be fierce. A 15-minute boat ride to headquarters, which is on stilts, is followed by a canoe ride to the guest cabins. You must canoe in to the main lodge for meals. This is an interesting place, but unless you long to try the bass fishing, steer clear.

We made this slow roasted leg of lamb the other day after I was lucky enough to find a shoulder of lamb for less than £5 in the local co-op. We followed the Jamie Oliver recipe fairly closely but used a little less wine. The result was very tasty and it will certainly become a favourite way to cook this cut of meat.
Tesco have issued a recall of their double strength apple and blackcurrant juice due to foreign bodies being present in the drink. If you have any in your cupboard the advice is to return to the store.
Time is at a premium in our household at the moment and finding any time to do anything other than look after the children is a real issue. Our weekends are now generally reserved for family time which is somewhat precious and something has to give somewhere. With this in mind we have decided to give up the allotment plot and concentrate on putting aside more of the garden at home to grow our vegetables. It has been proving difficult to work the allotment as we are not really able to let the children run around whilst we work. At home this should, hopefully be easier, although some issues such as the quality of the soil will need to be addressed.
It often surprises me the lengths some people go to in order to entertain their young children. At age 2 and 1 my children have so many things still to experience that a day out can be as simple as a ride on a bus. Last weekend we took them on a train for the first time. An experience which was made better by the train driver waving at them as he pulled in to the station. It was only a 10 minute journey but the excitement on their faces was little short of amazing and watching the trains at the station proved just as rewarding.
According to this article the Food Standards Agency is warning people about the dangers of undercooking meat on the BBQ. It seems many people just don't know when the meat is cooked. As a precaution the agency is recommending that people cook meat inside first before putting it on the BBQ in order to prevent food poisoning. Personally I have got cooking on the BBQ down to almost perfection, I say almost because we do sometimes have our char grilled moments. One thing we don't ever have though is undercooked meat. Its very easy to make a cut in meat to check if its cooked, much as you would when cooking inside. If in doubt invest in a BBQ tool that checks the temperature of meat and indicates whether it is safe too eat. Cooking it inside first, for me, takes the fun out of the whole BBQ experience.
Its always very hard to resist picking the pears but they are best left until they fall of into your hand. Currently we have a few ready every day although they are quickly eaten up by the children. Usually I would poach them for a quick dessert but I don't think there will be any left for me to cook with this year.
This is an interesting gadget, its a butter knife with small holes in it which makes butter easier to spread. The idea is that you can easily spread butter straight from the fridge using the knife which pushes the butter through the little holes. At £6.00 I would probably buy one, it looks useful.
According to this article we could soon see much lower limits for what you can drink when driving. Britain currently has one of the higher drink limits in Europe. New limits could mean that it is only legal to drink one pint of beer if getting behind the wheel. There could also be stricter limits for young people under the age of 21.

I thought I'd start a new discussion on the marantas. I was given my maranta in the container it is still in, also in that containter was a diffenbachia & a palm and one other plant, all the other plants were taken out of the container and re-potted but I left the maranta in the container which it has been in for at least 4-5 years, there is a wick that feeds the water to the soil and the soil is always wet, I would even say damp. After reading the previous post, HOW is it that mine has survived in the same soil condition for all these years?? I have added some food over the summers if I remember. I have thought of re-potting it but I'm afraid I'd loose it. What do you all think?? Confused Christine LOL |
Follow-Up Postings:
if the rootball is well developed (as it would be after sev years) - the water is absorbed quickly, especially when the plant is large. i grow a lot of moisture loving plants on self-watering wicks. even though it's best when medium is at least 40-50% perlite for wicking. also it's better to underpot then to overpot for wicking. for that reason i also avoid repotting often. only when i notice that plant is not growing as well as before. which other thread you're talking about? 'maranta is dead' post? that one was repotted into a much larger pot while the plant declined and was kept at low temps. when it's warm and it has good light it'll continue to grow... and absorb water well. even in winter. yours is looking somewhat leggy though - i'd increase light. |
Christine - when you water using a wick, the dissolved solids (minerals) and fertilizer salts make their way INTO the soil in the water that's wicked. If your plant doesn't use all these minerals and nutrients, and it doesn't, they accumulate in the soil. Soon, not only is the ratio of nutrients badly skewed, making it difficult for the plant to absorb certain nutrients, the TOTAL level of dissolved solids in the soil increases, which makes it increasingly more difficult for the plant to take up water and the nutrients which must be dissolved in water before the plant can access them. All the preceding is why watering from the top and flushing the soil each time you water is superior to using any type of wicking. Additionally, the thought that a well-developed root system will use water quickly can be misleading if not qualified. Water absorption is an energy driven process that needs to take place in the presence of oxygen. The fastest way to reduce the size of a well-developed root system, or cripple its ability to absorb water/nutrients is by over-watering. Over-watering kills the all-important fine roots and inhibits o/a root function, also in a direct relationship to the severity and duration of the saturation the plant is forced to endure. Plants left in the same container or same soil for years can usually be counted on to be suffering. Tight roots and a collapsed soil, singularly or in combination, contribute to a decline in both growth rate and vitality. If you wish your plant to grow as close to its genetic potential as possible, you should either pot up BEFORE the root/soil mass reaches a point where it can be lifted from the pot intact, or do full repots regularly. (Ask if you'd like to know the difference between potting up and repotting and how it impacts the plant physiologically) When the root/soil mass can be lifted from the pot intact is the approximate point at which root congestion becomes limiting, and the limiting effect increases in direct relation with the severity of the congestion. 'Over-potting' is only a significant issue when you're using a soil that is more water retentive than is good for the plant. If you use a soil that holds little or no perched water, you can pot the smallest of plants in a huge volume of soil w/o problems. Now, isn't a good time to be repotting houseplants because they are coming into the part of their growth cycle when their energy reserves are at their lowest, and their ability to replenish reserves is limited by short days and reduced light intensity (the sun's light has to travel farther and through more of our atmosphere before it reaches you). I would only repot now if you felt the plant was likely to perish if you didn't. There are, however, things you can do to help your plant make it through until summer, when it will tolerate repotting with little risk to the plant. Let me know if you'd like to visit about what you can do to help your plant now. Al |

Happy New Year Petruska, Thank You for your input also :>) |
perhaps flushing the soil each time you water is superior to wicking...AND makes you a slave to your plants :) but going away on vac/trips for weeks, even months at a time and coming back to healthy self-watered plants FAR outways it in my book. been doing it for 5 years without ill effect. not planning to change my ways any time soon, but bent on putting even MORE plants on wicks..... and highly recommend it to people with same objectives! as far as 'growing the plant to it's full potential goes' - i'd be now consumed by a jungle, since i've had a lot of my plants for 20 years or more and they grow and grow and grow more!!! and i divide and root....and prune...AND ..AND... wow! must be doing smth right.... so you see that my objective is NOT to make them grow big and fast to the full potential. just healthy and in bounds. as they say there are many ways to the mountain top. some harder then others ;). |
I live in an area with hard water...and I can see visible build up of solids on the soil within a couple of months. I try to flush the pots at least once a month. Your water conditions affect the need to flush greatly. |

Hi cosmicxxx, last year I was in touch with Cyprus clinic who advertise IUI/Mircosort. We exchanged few emails and I had good feelings about them. Just didn't like their idea to go for IVF/Microsort, only because of my age. I tried to avoid another drug stimul. as I had bad experiences in a past. At the end I decided to not go forward with the treatment. As I draw thick line after my HT experiments, I deleted most of my emails from them, so can't give you any info about the cost. Good luck and congratulations on your pregnancy (I guess you are not too much happy you having another boy? hope I'm wrong) Wish you all the best and don't give up!!

2 IR remotes for 1 tv?
Posted 20 December 2011 - 04:57 PM
I can make either work alone but is there a way to make them both work?
Or, will I need to purchase a UHF remote?

"Belligerent and numerous."
Sometimes I update the Dish Network FAQ
AT200, Hopper & 360 via HDMI to Onkyo 505 to basement 42" Westy, Hopper via Comp-over-Cat5 to living room 42" Vizio with a Roku 3, Joey to Toshiba 32" LCD with a Logitech Revue. You want fries with that? Pull up to the 2nd window.
Posted 20 December 2011 - 07:21 PM
Easy as pie - just have the satellite receiver and both remotes all on the same channel (and no - it DOESN'T need to be just address 1 - it can be any).
Now - if you have both recievers (222 and 722) in the same room, AND you want to use 1 remote - that's possible too. Set each receiver on a different address. Then you can program the AUX button on one or both remotes to do the other receiver's remote address.
Posted 20 December 2011 - 10:10 PM
Posted 21 December 2011 - 05:34 AM
enter the new remote address (2 digits), followed by #, then the Record button.
To change the Satellite receiver -
get to the Sysinfo screen
repeat the above.
To program the Aux button with another Dish IR remote address -
press and hold the AUX button
enter the desired address as '3' and desired 2 digit address, "#" and RECORD.
I may have details wrong - check your owners manual / Dish tech info online / etc.
Posted 21 December 2011 - 09:18 AM
1.Press the SYSTEM INFO button on the front panel of your receiver. Avoid accessing the "System Info" screen using the remote control, as this could cause re-addressing both impacted remotes. - Note the remote address shown in the UHF remote address box
2.Press and hold the SAT mode button on your remote until all of the mode buttons light up - All four mode buttons should light up
3.Use the number pad on your remote to enter a remote address between 1 and 16, not including the address you originally noted in Step 2 - The SAT button should light up
4.Press the POUND (#) button - The SAT button should flash 3 times
5.Press the RECORD button - If the steps are successful, the number entered in Step 4 should display on the "System Info" screen
6.Select "Done" to close the "System Info" screen
If you have further questions, please let me know. Thanks.
I have a 20.0 IR remote from a 222k for tv1 and want to use it and the original 20.1 IR remote on a 722k for tv1. (2 remotes in the same room)
I can make either work alone but is there a way to make them both work?
Or, will I need to purchase a UHF remote?
Posted 21 December 2011 - 11:47 AM
After what seemed like a lot of tries, I finally got the 2nd remote on the same address.
Then couldnt get the remote to to accept the TV code, checked the code on the 1st remote and entered it but still wouldnt work. Used the scan setup so now I have a different tv code in each but they work fine.
My wife wants to say thanks also, as now she can also change channels and volume etc.
Is there a way to get the power off button to work on her?

I don't believe that feature is supported on this model.

Housing benefit money 'could solve homes shortage'
By Cassie Chambers
Redirecting funds from the £20 billion housing benefit bill could be better spent on long-term housing investment, a think-tank has proposed.
The Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) think-tank's proposal came in a report published today outlining its "radical strategy" for ending the housing crisis in the UK.
IPPR argues the housing sector's problems are multifaceted, stating: "Demand has heavily outstripped supply for decades. Homeownership is too often out of reach. Social housing is being residualised. The private rented sector remains largely unprofessional and insecure and those who live in it have too little control."
Opinion Former Video
The quality of our built environment affects every member of society
'We should have been doing this 10 years ago - we need to get the ball rolling'
'The more capacity that can go into the London area will quite simply add to our business'
'All of our customers are international and we need those transport links to be as efficient and effective as possible'
'Having direct, easy links makes doing business globally much more attractive'
"Housing policy has been piecemeal and disjointed across various departments under governments of all colours," IPPR continued, "[and] many of the problems in English housing are deeply embedded."
The report makes three recommendations for reforming British housing policy: incentivising homeownership, regulating rents on private properties, and increased investment in affordable housing grants.
The Labour party has welcomed IPPR's proposals as it conducts its own policy review on the issue.
"The IPPR proposals are a welcome contribution to the debate and we will give the recommendations careful consideration," shadow housing minister Jack Dromey said.
"Britain is in the midst of the biggest housing crisis in a generation," he added.
"Long-term reform is needed but with the housing crisis growing by the day it is becoming increasingly clear that the Tory-led government's policies are making things worse not better."
Mr Dromey also called on the government to implement Labour's housing policy proposals, which include a bank bonus tax to fund 25,000 affordable homes in the hopes of jump starting the house building sector.
The IPPR report claims that failures of the housing market are having negative social consequences in the UK, stating: "England remains one of the richest countries in the world, but it is failing properly to house its people.
"The result is a segregated system with insufficient mobility between housing sectors and social divisions that are entrenched rather than overcome."

The heat is almost on: What's best for spring at Orlando theme parks?
If you're in Orlando, you can feel it breathing down your neck: Summer, the relentless 10-month stretch of heat and humidity is sneaking up on us. We compiled some key theme-park activities that are best to knock out before the days turn into scorchers.
An easy one I neglected to include is the ongoing Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival, which runs daily through May 18. For what it's worth, the heat is an enemy to many blooms, requiring Disney to replant midway through the event.
What do you suggest for a good spring outing at Central Florida's theme parks and attractions?

Constantine's father perished years ago in a fire that consumed the Stavros home, rendering Constantine the Lord of Oreann and the heir to the Stavros legacy. Prior to his assumption of the Lordship, Constantine led the life one might expect from the scion of one of Guardians' oldest (and wealthiest) noble families. Lacking for nothing, his youth was marked by the finest tutors-- in economics and the art of politics most certainly, but also in the courtly graces and in swordsmanship. The latter proved something of a passion; the family's historical bent for swordcraft manifested itself in Constantine as a fascination with the practical use of the weapons themselves.
This matured into almost an artist's approach to the art of swordsmanship. Over the years, he has focused the considerable intensity and passion expected of the Stavros line into the skills of a renowned duelist; this understanding of and appreciation for his craft has resulted in a different take on the family business. The actual smithing and shaping in the hands of a trusted cousin's leadership, Constantine himself provides both the business acumen and the functional expertise and direction to ensure that Stavros steel is both made for and sold to the finest and most cultivated swordsmen and women in the realm. Never a true military man, Constantine did serve his mandatory time in the legions as a cavalry officer, plus a second term as well; he used these years to grow his riding skills and become something of a horseman.
Even all these years later, Constantine continues to suspect that his father's death was engineered by arson, and this has lent him a guarded suspicion of those who would rival his family's place of honor and success, both at the ducal court and in business. As such, he used the occasion of his marriage to seal one of the more ascendant merchant clans of Oreann to him; Celiande, his wife of four years, is an uncommonly attractive daughter of that clan, and considerably his junior. She is also by all accounts something of a shrew, and though she has borne him two male children it is rumored that little love is lost between the pair.
It is only more recently, after his wife tragic accidental death by falling form a tower, that Constantine has returned to court. Alone. Rumor has it there is no love lost between father and hs children. So go so far as to say he loaths them with a passion.
The product of Constantine's education is, by its very nature, an incredibly refined and sophisticated individual whose tastes and talents span many fields of interest. He prefers only the finest in life-- be it the best wines, fashions, business partners, sparring partners, allies and yes, even rivals. As such, he is perceived by many to be at least somewhat arrogant, and the perception is not wholly wrong. His few intimates-- which is to say his own Stavros clan, his distant kin the Locksleys, certain aides and associates-- speak fervently of his loyalty and quality as a friend, but this is a side few peers or Imperial subjects actually see. By far most people who interact with Constantine Lord Oreann will report of a self-involved, rather smug and superior personage who is quite convinced of his own mastery. He is known most famously for a shrewd mind and crafty sense of business; somehow, some way, Constantine Stavros almost always comes out on the winning side.
His interest and skill in swords is that of the solitary artist or master; he is not a soldier by any means, but rather an accomplished duelist. He prefers the sabre and the rapier to the stabbing shortswords of the Legions, which he feels are ugly and ineffective in personal combat.
He has proven something of a rake over the years, enjoying the company of many women but always to a point, and no further; his heart is his own, and given to none of them. Now that he has wed, and not for love, he has secured himself against those women who seek only a piece of his considerable fortune. Among his own gender he prefers the friendship of other swordsmen and successful businessmen alike, but considers soldiers and other warriors to be painfully dull in general. As might be expected, he loathes the uncouth tendencies of the Dun Artan tribes and considers their peaceable assimilation into the Barca fold to be an unfortunate occurrence at best.
Although the Oreann lordship is famous for the products they smith and trade, to own a blade crafted by the hands of a Stavros is a price only the very wealthy can command. For generations, the Stavros family has been renowned for the blades they craft, each and every weapon no less than perfect in performance, balance, and design. Some say that the Stavros family has gone to great lengths to acquire or wed those with skill enough to enhance the line, and even further to eliminate those who might offer rival.
While Constantine himself has chosen to focus his expertise on the actual, practical use of the blades, the smiths in his employ remain both close kin and the most skilled in the Empire. Working at their lord's keen direction and to his exacting standards of heft, weight, balance and aesthetics, they continue to produce the finest blades for the most demanding of buyers. The smithies are presided over in Constantine's name by a trusted cousin, his uncle Justinian's son.
Under Constantine's leadership, the smithies of Oreann have in the past five years begun to turn out a secondary line of weaponry; bladed weapons made more affordably, and in larger quantities. Though these weapons have not the quality associated with Stavros blades (and are not, in fact, sold as such) they bear up extremely well against similar swords from other craftsmen. It is rumored, and not without reason, that Lord Oreann has his eye on an exclusive contract with the Legions, but at this point such whispers remain purely conjecture.
Despite his advancing age, he continues to maintain a very hard excersice program. He is privately tutoring Firenza Caprios in the art of the blade. He is an avid art lover. He works heavily with charities. His room is so full of books he hardly has room to move.

Pension and retirement policies have changed dramatically in recent years, as governments have tried to balance the goals of adequate retirement incomes and the long-term financial sustainability of pension systems in the face of population ageing. Pensions at a Glance 2009 provides a consistent framework for comparing pension policies between countries along with reliable data.
This third edition updates information on key features of pension provision in OECD countries and provides projections of retirement income for todays workers. It offers an expanded range of indicators, including measures of assets, investment performance, coverage of private pensions, public pension spending, and the demographic context and outlook.
Four special chapters provide an in-depth look at important issues in pension policy today. The first examines the implications of the present financial and economic crisis on pension systems. Which countries and which individuals are most affected? What can governments do to help and which policies should they avoid? The second looks at incomes and poverty of older people, looking at trends over the past two decades. In many countries, the position of pensioners has improved relative to the population as a whole, but there remain pockets of old-age poverty. The third updates the analysis of pension reforms in the second edition of Pensions at a Glance. How have pension systems changed in the period 2004‑08? The final special chapter considers coverage of voluntary private pensions, extending the analysis to look at how this varies with age and earnings. It also evaluates five different policies to expand coverage.
This book includes StatLinks, URLs under each graph and table linking to Excel® files containing the underlying data.
An extraordinarily useful and careful compilation of pension information for a wide-range of countries, presented in a common format and following a thoughtful structure. The authors have brought cross-national pension comparisons to a new level, and they are to be commended for their intensive efforts. [This] represents some of the smartest comparative work out there, by people intimately familiar with the nuances and complexities of comparative pension work.

Heritage Handicap
We have quite an important weekend ahead of us with Bayeux running in the StanJamesUK.com Heritage Handicap on Saturday at Newmarket. Jamie Spencer rides him and he is drawn 12, which puts us in the middle of the field. I will leave it to Jamie to decide what way he wants to ride him. He's quite a straightforward horse and we are hopeful of a good run.
Prime Number runs tomorrow too. I was relatively pleased with the way he ran in the Spring Cup. He stayed on very well from the back of the field so I am sure that the extra 2 furlongs will help bring out an even better performance.
We have an unraced filly called Nimra running on Sunday at Salisbury. She is a very well bred filly bought by John McCormack at the Fasig-Tipton Select Sales. She has been training quite nicely and the run will do her the world of good. The distance should not be a problem and I hope she runs well.
Last Saturday saw us re-introduce Oscillator. I was pleased with the way he performed and won. I am sure he will come on for the run. Wolverhampton would not be a track playing to his strengths but he picked up very nicely and put a bit of distance between himself and the second horse, then started running a bit green in the last furlong or so. He's come out of his race very well and has been given a mark of 77 and I will leave it a few more weeks before I decide on his next engagement.
We are beginning to increase the training programs on the 2 year olds. I am quite pleased with the way they are shaping up, in particularly a Traditionally colt, a King's Best colt and a Spinning World filly called World's Heroine – who is shaping up quite nicely too. It will probably be the end of May before they make their debut.
