Pepsi sponsoring X Factor? Boring. Wake me when they sponsor The Apprentice. That show would become interesting with the added panache Pepsi brings to "You're fired".

Republicans with victory will end up chasing unicorns on the right
By the time this collection of musings from the political left hits the paper, I feel with certainty that the Grand Old Party will have the House back.
Congressman Boehner, with gavel in hand, can begin implementing his "Hell no you can't" philosophy of undoing two years of policies set forth by the President and his former majority; policies the GOP have resisted like mules resist tugs at their reins.
These Republican principles, which dovetail almost seamlessly with Tea Party philosophy, sound inspiring and empowering when chanted in unison through megaphones:
1. Government is generally the problem: Regulation, social programs (e.g., entitlements), and government intrusion in our lives.
2. Bring back ethics and openness to government. No guilt by unseemly associations.
3. Return to fiscally responsible, pro-business policies and lower the budget deficit while cutting taxes for all.
Yes, these sound like principles no reasonable person could deny. But digging beneath the surface of just verbalizing this recipe for a conservative takeover of government, I am struck by the fissure that stands between these words and their actual application in the real world which most of us live in. It's easier to catch a unicorn than to cite a time in history where across the board tax cuts balanced a federal budget.
Have you ever noticed that those who rail against government as being unable to do anything right usually draw paychecks from their jobs in local, state, or federal government? These are typically the same group of people with taxpayer-funded healthcare who adamantly oppose taxpayer-funded healthcare.
When I ask, "If the government does nothing as well as the private sector, how do you explain G.I.s?" You know, the world's greatest military completely recruited, trained, equipped, and deployed by the government? They then stammer, glance at the talking points scribbled on their sweaty palms, then repeat that government needs to get out of the way ... because it's bad ... Says so right here on my hand.
Speaking of which: How did that deregulation work for us? Whether it be of offshore drilling or financial markets, and whether those responsible be Democrat and/or Republican, how did the financial, housing markets, and oil rigs fair outside of a reasonable level of government oversight? Not too well.
That's why President Bush and his economic team were forced to implement the TARP. "Bailouts" as a rule were opposed by Republicans/Tea Partiers newly concerned with national debt. Many of these folks are the same voices that use to cheer "buy American," but became infuriated that the government would dare rescue GM and Chrysler. They wanted GM and Chrysler to die, if the market willed it, their corpses picked at by the surviving auto and auto parts makers.
So much for "jobs jobs jobs," eh? Well, now that new Chrysler and GM sheet metal are zipping all over Fayette County, I believe hindsight arguably shows wisdom in the TARP and Detroit bailouts. I like a world with Challengers, Vettes, and Camaros in it; not to mention the jobs of the men and women who design, assemble, sell, and repair them.
As a side note, future Speaker Boehner has told us how anti-business President Obama is. How might the Congressman from Ohio explain the S&P 500 companies having their strongest third quarter earnings in 20 years according to USA Today? Eighty-one percent of those companies exceeded their earnings forecasts. With such an anti-business President, no less.
Let's look locally to the application of smaller, less expensive, less intrusive government. Fayette County and Peachtree City are the epitome of Republican governance. And in the ten years I've lived here, this small, less intrusive government has protected my kids from their gas and electric scooters by making them illegal anywhere except in our yard. They have protected us from indoor smoking. They have protected the cart paths from Segways, unleashed chihuahuas, and soon, from gas (drill baby drill) powered golf carts. Oh yes, and storm water has gotten quite a bit more expensive too. Small, less intrusive government in action.
The Tea Party Republican/independents are quite a phenomenon whose name breeds confusion. They woke up conveniently after President Obama's inauguration in 2009 feeling overtaxed. The problem was Taxed Enough Already is a great acronym, but terribly off base.
Our tax burdens have not been lower in 60 years, according to Newsweek and USA Today. I suspect this is why we began hearing concerns of the budget deficit instead. The problem here is we've been running federal budget deficits since 2001.
Was the Tea Party asleep? And if not, what was the magic number at which the deficit became a problem? They were such a problem that a political neophyte like Senator Obama was just an "empty suit" and not up for the task of leading us out of our multiple crises.
Flash forward less than two years, and suddenly the "answer" is shake up Washington with new blood like Rand "Say no to the 1964 Civil Rights Act" Paul and Christine "I'm not a witch, I'm you" O'Donnell. And by the way Miss "I'm not a witch," Bill Ayers is surely wondering when the guilt by association is coming from half Governor Palin. You all remember, "pallin around with terrorists." Apparently half governor Palin has no problem with warlock dates on Satanic altars.
So, as I await Congressman Boehner's proclamation that Speaker Pelosi is relieved of duty thereby freeing a path for conservative solutions, I ask:
Will he restore ethics in Washington by handing out tobacco lobby checks to colleagues like he did in June of 1995? When will a Fair Tax candidate make it out of the GOP Presidential primary to satisfy the TEA Party wing of the GOP? What programs will Speaker Boehner move to cut? Will TEA Partiers and those fearful of socialism decline all social services based on principle?
When will small government take a woman's legal right to choose away? When will the separation of Church and State be challenged and what changes should that challenge bring? And who will he blame if his solutions do not bear fruit?
He should expect no help on the economy from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. McConnell told the National Journal, "The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president," so I suspect his energies will go towards keeping the economy unstable and the citizenry divided.
There is a chance that Speaker Boehner just may tell us in two years that he's caught that elusive unicorn, but my guess is we'll be able to pull off the duct-taped horn to reveal the mule in disguise.
Kevin King
Peachtree City, Ga.
It is not about jamming and ramming policies, and taxed enough, nor Christianity (Values), it is about just who was elected President last election.
It is intolerable and real scary to the radical right.
There will be little change over the next two years due to the deep, deep hole in which we found ourselves a little over a year and a half ago!
No one can find 15,000,000 jobs nor pay any debt anytime soon!
Every recession or depression brings out the rabble rousers!
Do you really think it is about who and not what? Here is the real problem. Governement versus Freedom. Everytime government grows we have a little less freedom. Now that we know what "hope and change" really means, things have changed. America is speaking, loud and clear. -GP
I've been puzzled all day on this - as I recall the Obama/Clinton and McCain/Huckabee/Romney primary debates were focused on a range of issues. It was pretty close to the election when the country was made aware of an economic collapse. It became the main focal point between November and January leaving us all wondering if a Depression was avoidable.
You can argue over the best response and hindsight is always perfect. I think the President has admitted there were things he could have done better. Let's put that aside for a moment.
The thing that I can't understand is how to explain the Bush administration position. The only two choices seem to be a. they were so asleep at the wheel the did not see economic disaster coming, or b. they concealed it. Neither is good and both are close to treason in my book. Does this bother anyone else?
Thanks for posting.
If it was money that implies the financial collapse was hidden or at least ignored. I would not think the collapse was just blown off, there must have been some failed strategy. If the administration was ignoring or not addressing the collapse on the horizon there must have been some thought that we were going to pull out - I mean nobody allows the cash cow to starve.
Or would it be possible power brokers were willing to allow collapse because their insider knowledge gave them the foresight to profit in even a collapse environment? I don't really believe anyone would do that. For one it is risky, two it is too made for TV for me to buy in.
I think it must have been a failed strategy. Which underwrites the idea that we have to move away from whatever the strategy was.
Everyone knew everyone......as MOM says follow the money.
The American people were quite happy as long as their housing prices were going up and they were able to borrow more and more money against their new found equity wealth.
The tipping point came when everyone knew it was likely going to come to an end.....this started happening in 2007. The cards collapsed when the election was happening because there was going to be a significant change in power back to the Democrats.
Now who's to blame....the American people for living beyond their means? The FED for keep interest rates below true market rates, the politicians who supported the FED policy so they could "insure" a "right" to affordable housing. B. Frank, Chris Dodd, the Congress and yes the President. The politicians and the banksters were way too close, and still are. President Bush vetoed less legislative crap than any President since Jefferson. Compassionate conservatives, what a joke.
So, if you want to know who's at fault? Go look in the mirror. Ask yourself who was supporting this corrupt way of doing business. Your answer if you are honest is "you".
the Bush administration position. The only two choices seem to be a. they were so asleep at the wheel the did not see economic disaster coming, or b. they concealed it. Neither is good and both are close to treason in my book. Does this bother anyone else?
My father told me - if you can't quite see the motivation for an act - follow the $$$ and see who profited.
Follow the money, it leads to the "new world order" and a third world United States. -GP
Profited is the operating word. Many who profit don't give a darn where it 'leads to' - as long as their balance sheet shows a profit. Until the American people see their role in this situation - and cease to continue down the road of 'me first', nothing will CHANGE.
"Will TEA Partiers and those fearful of socialism decline all social services based on principle?"
I am not a "Tea Partier", but I am fearful of my government. Yes indeed I would gladly give up all my social services that are redistributive in nature. Please government protect me from my own government, external foes, and social engineers like Mr. King.
I am very tired of watching political hacks tilt at windmills.
Best letter I have seen in this newspaper for a long time,Mr. King. I wish you had a regular column that would contribute some balance to the opinion pages.
I am nearly 70 years old, and would like to add that there is nothing like a few decades of living to help a person see through the fog of political mumbo-jumbo and revisionist history. Thanks again.
You could see through that fog better if you take off those rose colored glasses.
From a fellow senior citizen.
You're quite fortunate that you planned well in order to give up your well-earned social security. With today's medical costs - stay in optimum shape. A one day visit to the hospital - depending on the reason can cost between $5000- $20,000! That would wipe many of your fellow citizens your age out of the ball park of financial security. I'm speaking from experience - without the assistance of 'rose colored glasses'. To the younger generation who are willing to give up 'social security' - SAVE AND PLAN WELL!! Be prepared to sacrifice today on the possibility that you may live past 60.
"If the government does nothing as well as the private sector, how do you explain G.I.s?" You know, the world's greatest military completely recruited, trained, equipped, and deployed by the government?
Is there a private industry/competitor equivalent in America that I am unaware of? I know that the military uses several private companies and employs thousands of civilians but I was not aware there was anything to compare.
If not, why would you "...ask, "If the government does nothing as well as the private sector, how do you explain G.I.s?""
That might well be one of the most rambling attempts at venting I have read in years. I guess 'Massa' King wants all the conservative 'enemies' to go to the 'back of the bus'.
I hope you feel better soon.
Good to hear from you. Sorry you're not happy.
Good to have you back. Of course, there was some good news for all of the citizens of the United Stated of America that came out of the elections: O'Connell and McMahon lost. Oh happy days!
I predict that the Republicans will pick up where they left off and demonstrate their unique ability to be sore winners.
I may be wrong (I hope that I am) and what I see as the meaningless huff n' puff coming from the Republicans could actually yield tangible accomplishments for everyone.
I personally like Barack Obama, even though I disagree with some of his tactics. He is being called a failure by some, and vilified by all Republicans, but let me point out an accomplishment that will forever make him a success, and that is the pride and self-esteem boost that he gave to our black brothers and sisters when he successfully became a candidate for, and won the office of, the President of the United States, and that is nothing but a good thing.
Good to see your name again, buddy. Your commentary is the sanest journalism I've seen yet, in this paper this week.... bravo!
Mr. King, right on the button. Anyone over 40 and that has paid to politics and elections, and is not genetically predisposed to swallow Tea Party notions hook line and sinker every time they come around, should not be duped this time by the same old 'let's cut' diatribe this time. But, I am fearful that there is always a new generation ready to take the populist bait.
Yes, interesting to see "Hack" surface as an article contributor rather than 'dukin' it out in the "Recent Comments" section. However Kevin's spots have not changed and, like many other dishonest liberals, he has mischaracterized Rep. Boehner's "Hell No, You Can't" into a totally different meaning--perhaps a natural response when one is of his leaning. For those who don't know, Rep Boehner uttered those during a speech on the House floor when talking about the Healthcare Legislation. He asked the question of all members "Can you to home and tell your constituents that this legislation was crafted in total transparency, with no back-room deals" and answered the question himself with that "Hell No You Can't!" And that's the rest of the story. I doubt that Kevin learned that tactic at the Colorado Springs School for Aspiring Zoomies.
has any legislation been crafted in total transparency? If that were the basis for 'legitimate' legislation, when wouldn't even have the original Constitution.
As someone pointed out to me - there may not be receptive listeners, but it is so important to hear another point of view! We'll see what happens in 18 months. It's only fair to give 'them' the same amount of time they gave the Majority Dem House.
Yes, that's correct I don't believe you are a receptive listener.
I believe you were saying a few weeks ago that we simply had to wait for the mid-term election. We waited and there was a message, not the one you liked. Are you listening?
Now you are saying that we simply need to wait 18 months. Well I have news for you MOM, the outcome will be much like we witnessed on Tuesday this week. You know why? Because the idea of a socialist democracy is a bankrupt notion, it has failed in every attempt at gaining power. The only way a socialist philosophy can "succeed" is through force, Cuba, FDR and North Korea come to mind.
The demographics are working against Mr. Obama; the heartland is on to him. Just look at the political map today vs. Monday, it's going to get much worse for his agenda.
America has shrugged, get use to it.
We waited and there was a message, not the one you liked. Are you listening?
The message is loud and clear. Get people in Congress who can work together and HELP THE AMERICAN PEOPLE OUT OF THE MESS WE'RE IN!! The Democrats still have the Senate - and Obama is still President - with veto power to keep the corporations and big business at bay. If the Republicans in the House and Senate cannot offer SOLUTIONS to our problems - other than NO TO OBAMA - they'll be gone in 2012. Returning to what was is not the message that the people sent. The message is DO YOUR JOB, GET US OUT OF THIS MESS! WORK TOGETHER OR GET OUT OF THE WAY. To focus on getting all Democrats and Obama out in 2012 will not get us jobs and improve our economy. If Republicans and Democrats can work with their colleagues across the aisle - progress will be made. If not - the American people are the losers. Getting Obama out - and no jobs in not a victory for anyone. Congress – Democrats and Republicans - better concentrate on JOBS.
I can hear you but I believe the outcome will be quite different than the one you envision, dear lady.
First and foremost, we cannot continue to rely on a government that gets us into these messes. It doesn't matter if they are Republican or Democrat they have both proven that they do not serve the interest of the people. They serve their own interest first. That interest is power.
You seem to see everything in terms of parties, my guess this is because you are some kind of political hack for the democrats? Anyway,the message that was sent last Tuesday, from the heartland is quite simple, and it was not a Republican message. It was a message from the people. 1. Reduce the size and scope of government, 2. Reduce taxes and 3. Get out of our lives (examples of many, repeal Obamacare or end the FED). We don't want or need the government's help any longer, in fact the more help we seem to get from government the more screwed up things get.
That's it MOM, nothing more nothing less. The heartland doesn't care if it is democrats, republicans, whigs, federalist or tea partiers that accomplish this feat. They just want it done.
So, if the Democrats continue to deny the message by not listening then they will meet the fate as the Bull Moose Party. They will simply go out of business. Just keep you head buried in the Obama sand and you will find out. It's coming again in 2012.
Nancy Pelosi became the House Speaker of the Democratically controlled US House of Representatives on Jan 20, 2007 following the 2006 midterm elections. Therefore, by your own statement, one should allow a Republican controlled congress 4 years to try to make a positive difference. 18 months is an inaccuracy by the standards you set forth.
Just tired of those who expected OBAMA to solve this mess in 18 months. John B won't have John B yelling Hell No - so maybe something can be done. John B didn't start his 'yelling' until 2008, when Obama was elected. The standard should be every Congressman doing his/her level best to get us out of this mess - who cares at this point who stands at the podium!!!
When you state the following: "We'll see what happens in 18 months. It's only fair to give 'them' the same amount of time they gave the Majority Dem House." it seems obvious to me that you care very much who stands at the podium. Especially when you couch your statments in an "us" vs "them" fashion
What amazes me is the number of African-Americans that simply can't admit what a horrible President B.H.Obama is thus far and what bitter failure the democrats have been to the democratic faithful.
The close minded hyphenated population are going to support him no matter what happens. This blind faith and excuse making stinks of racism to me.
National debt triples- no problem, foreclosures at a record pace- no problem, unemployment more than double- not a concern, taxes on the rise- no problem, buying over a trillion dollars of our own debt by printing more money- so what, socialization of businesses, banking, insurance, and medical care - no problem, Jobless claims at record levels- so what, the dollar dropping like a rock and gold at all time highs- who cares, lowest level of home ownership in over 30 years- so what.
There is simply no amount of evidence that exists that will change the mind of the close minded. It looks like we are guaranteed to have poverty and a lower socioeconomic class for many years to come and that is GOOD news.... for the democrats.
The irony is that the vast majority of democratic supporters have been supporting liberals in the name of "Justice", "Opportunity" and "Equality" for decades and it has only assured themselves of multi-generational dependency and the same old failures over, and over, and over, and over...
How's that whole Detroit/Chicago/Philadelphia/Cleveland/Cincinnati/DC (Any Democratic controlled city/state government) project working out for you democrats?
Despite throwing five, ten, twenty times the amount of money and social programs at schools and places like those in DC failure abounds and the promise of America is exchanged for a government check, card, and housing subsidy. A slave labor vote.... and the rich whites like Gore, Kennedy, Pelosi, Reid, Brown. et.al. keep promising the moon, sun and stars and the kool-aid drinking government slaves keep voting for the master that binds them to the failure of mediocrity and dependency.
Yes, keep blaming the party whose majority ratified the voting rights act and freed the slaves - cause they want to take away your government entitlements ... oh, and break the cycle of dependency.
There is even a name from those who would figure it out and stray from the plantation- Uncle Tom, sell-out, self-haters... yea.... the system has been nearly perfected. By the time most people figure it out it's too late for them - but not their kids- that's why there is even incentive (financial) for the family to be broken and the mother to remain unmarried with children and to incarcerate and ostracize as many men of color as possible.
But hey, that's just my theory.
National debt triples- no problem, foreclosures at a record pace- no problem, unemployment more than double- not a concern, taxes on the rise- no problem, buying over a trillion dollars of our own debt by printing more money- so what, socialization of businesses, banking, insurance, and medical care - no problem, Jobless claims at record levels- so what, the dollar dropping like a rock and gold at all time highs- who cares, lowest level of home ownership in over 30 years- so what.
A 'white' man left the office of President and our country with a surplus. A 'white' man left the office of President and our country in serious debt. A 'black' man is now in the President's office - and there is a slow ,laborious recovery of our country's economy - a recovery after 8 years of ALL OF US allowing a 'white' President to take us down the tubes. Is that racist enough for you Johnny B Good? 13% of our population is not enough to put a 'black' man in office because of his race. 13% of the population is not enough to keep him in office. The hyphenated population (which one are you talking about since we now have to identify ourselves by our race in this country) all have one name in common - AMERICAN. We have worked hard and long to change the debilitating 'welfare state' that has kept 'black's in bondage/ and poor whites not much better off - and we don't need a Johnny come lately Johnny be good to 'open our eyes'. How many of our 40+ presidents have had their birthright questioned; asked about denying their mother's 'race'? etc., etc., etc. There is valid disagreement on how to solve our economic problem - but one cannot deny that 'racism' raised its ugly head during the arguments/discussion. Your holding on to the idea that when Republicans took hold of the South politically - Jim Crow stopped - is an insult to everyone's intelligence. Good leaders, both Democrat and Republican worked hard to stop legal segregation. Jim Crow was tough to beat – and southern Republicans put up a good fight. Fast-forward to 2010 – Southern Republicans are not racist – but some politicians have learned to use the difficult- to -break racist mores that have been 'tradition' in the south in order to 'scare' the southern Republican base. There are 'black' Republicans in Fayette County who support 'conservative' values – and not the 'liberal/social values' of progressives. Back in the day, both parties had 'liberals and conservatives'. One party found it advantageous to use the vestiges of racism to solidify a 'base'. As long as this approach is used by a segment of the Republican Party, blacks, Latinos, and other minorities will stick with the Democrats – regardless of the color of the President. What amazes me is that there are those who don't see what is happening to the Republican Party. The color of the President is not the issue - it's the cry for a return to the 'way it used to be' that has minorities in this country wary.
Faith is a belief in something despite what we see in reality.
You know like believing that the government can protect us and take care of our every need. That we should put our lives and property at government's disposal because people who operate the government are so much more ethical and honest than us. So much more intelligent and all knowing, almost god like. We, the uninformed ignorant masses need to have our political elite to take care of us from cradle to grave.
Yes, now that's faith.
Nice try at deflection! I can only speak for myself when I say that all the legislation I ever crafted was done in total transparency!

So pretty! I remember when you found those plates. Now I wish I would have bought the dinner plates, but didn't think I needed them at the time, DUH! I think those lattice edged plates are perfect for this table. The red and gold color scheme is so elegant. The gold flatware is the icing on the cake, and I agree your Santa is gorgeous. Snowing like crazy here! Roads were really slick and hard to see the lanes. I love the idea of a white Christmas, but not when I have to out in it! Glad your in-laws will be celebrating with you. It's nice to be actually using one of your table settings for the holiday. Merry Christmas, |

congradulations on your marraige and cant wait for your new album ..Diane
Robbie has teamed up with Gary Barlow on his next single, Shame, which is not only co-written but also performed with his former bandmate. The duet between the two superstars is set for release on 4th October later this year and working on this track is the first time the two have written and recorded together since Robbie left Take That back in 1995, that's 15 years ago!
Shame is the first single to be released from In And Out Of Consciousness: The Greatest Hits 1990-2010, Robbie's 39-track album of greatest hits from the last 20 years.
Spread over two CDs, this is the definitive collection of Robbie hits celebrating his impressive career to date; 57 millions album sold, 11 millions singles sold, seven UK No.1 albums (making him the biggest selling solo artist in the UK), a Guinness World Record for fastest ever ticket sales… it's no wonder that he picked up the Outstanding Contribution To Music award at the esteemed BRIT Awards in London earlier this year!
Speaking about this forthcoming album and working with Gary Barlow again, Robbie said: "It's incredible to listen to the album and realise that it's already been 20 years of making music and playing gigs. And the great thing about the album is that it's not only a celebration of my past but also a bridge to the future. The fact that part of the future includes a name from my past makes it all the more poignant for me".
To be released on CD and DVD, In And Out Of Consciousness will be out on 11th October 2010.
Just can't take the excitement of waiting until October to buy your copy of In And Out Of Consciousness? No problem, you can get your order in now and relax knowing that Robbie's collection of hits is coming your way on the release date.

Paring Knife
Finally, a paring knife i love! I use this knife almost daily, as I am in the kitchen a lot. Was definitely worth the money.
November 26, 2011
Absolutely the BEST paring knife!
This is my "go to" knife and I'm bummed when it's not in the block. I'd rather take the time to hunt it down and clean it than use another knife that is already clean.
May 21, 2011
Good knife with bad handle
I am very careful with my knives. I always wash and dry them immediately after use. But the handle of this knife cracked in just a month of use. It is supposed to be water resistant pakka wood. But apparently it is not.

text: In Thirteen, Holly Hunter and Co. argue over, well, a lot. But in one scene the family can't decide which movie to see: John Cusack's war drama Operation Kandahar or Jack Black's wacky ''pig movie,'' The Misadventures of Ezekial Balls. Unfortunately (or, perhaps, thank God?) for real-life moviegoers, neither will be at a theater near you. ''It's the one laugh in the movie,'' says Thirteen's director-cowriter Catherine Hardwicke (above), who says an intern came up with the faux titles. ''We didn't want [real films] to look ancient by the time [Thirteen] came out.'' She persuaded pal Cusack to donate a publicity still; Black then did the same. We're told neither actor has seen the angsty indie, but Hardwicke thinks Black could have a Ball with his project: ''People have said, 'Oh, yeah, let's make that movie next!''' Sounds better than, say, Shallow Hal II.

Hi Everyone,
This is my first post. I've lurked for years and love the wealth of opinions and information I can get here. We are thinking about buying the Martine chair from Restoration Hardware in Army Duck. I am curious if anyone has furniture with this fabric and cats. My cats scratch furniture. The best fabric so far was my old couch in a khaki twill from now defunct Foley's. It never ripped---even with five cats going at it for 10 years. So far nothing has held up like it. I'm wondering about this army duck fabric because someone told me that it was good for people with cats. Any replies will be appreciated. |

The Army Duck is a very sturdy fabric compared to many 100% cotton fabrics. I would suggest plenty of cat scratching post in the room near the furniture with capnip. I a cat decides to scratch really nothing will help and no fabric can withstand the scratching. I guess how bad the fabric looks will depend on the weave and the stength of the fabric and this fabric will last longer than most as it has a tight weave and is fairly thick. |

It is supposed to be fairly cool at the end of this week. I have seen -10 c for friday night. I have poppies, Amaranthus and flowering Kale germinated so far. Should I bring these jugs in?
As well can anyone tell me when I should start taking the top halves of the jugs off? It is cool all this week. If I leave the tops on will my seedlings start to rot? Thanks - it is fun having things sprout but now I don't know what to do with them! |

Did you plant them when the weather was still very cold (below freezing)? If so then they will be fine and you should just leave them alone. They know what they are doing and they should be fine. I don't remove the tops of my containers until the plants are getting a good size and it is fairly warm on a consistent basis. Of course my containers are in dappled shade in the morning and full shade as of about noon, so no chance of them getting too hot and frying. Don't bring anything in....just take a deep breath and leave them alone :) |
- Posted by greylady-gardener 6/5 (My Page) on Tue, Mar 23, 10 at 18:55
Just wanted to add that if you are really concerned then through an old sheet over them or an old blanket or something. that should keep them protected but remember to remove it first thing in the morning. |

My full bio is over on my nutrition website here, but here's a quick summary.
My husband Phil and I moved to the west coast in 2005 and we both found an increasing awareness of the problems we're facing with environmental sustainability.
Our desire to make a difference branched out from his studying organic gardening, and my involvement with the local Green Party, to other areas of our lives - including what we eat.
When we learned about the environmental impact of animal agriculture, we started cutting back and eventually shifted to officially being vegetarians and then vegans.
Although we started out with an environmental focus, we quickly learned about the health, ethical and social impacts which all reinforced our decision.
We both looked into different ideas about what 'healthy' means, and read tons of books and articles. We tried out a 100% raw diet, studied eastern philosophies - including Chinese and Ayurvedic - and even had nothing but green smoothies for a couple of weeks.
Then we started to notice a shift in our health and energy levels. Phil's acne cleared up in a few months. I wasn't getting tired in the afternoons. I could concentrate better, and had more energy to be active. We haven't been sick since then. Not once. I know that sounds crazy, but it's true.
I wanted to share what we'd found with others, so I became a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, through the RHN program at the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition.
And having become a fairly accomplished cook after learning about all of these different food philosophies, I decided to take some cooking classes and eventually enrolled in the School of Natural Cookery.
I film new free videos for you every week, sharing vegan recipes and health tips (you can subscribe to my YouTube channel to the right), and I also have more in-depth information resources, which I hope will empower you to have fun making healthy meals, have success with your healthy weight loss plan, and find balance in your body and life.
I specialize in working with people (especially vegetarians/vegans or people who want a plant-based diet) who need a diet that is healthy and nutritionally complete.
I guess the only other thing I want to say is that this website is not only for vegans and vegetarians. It's for anyone who is interested in healthy eating.
Even if you eat lots of meat, I hope you'll tune in.
And if you haven't already, be sure to sign up for the free download near the top right of this page. That's where I've put my best tips to help improve your cooking skills and your health.
My return policy is that if you're not happy with any of the services or ebooks that you buy from me, for any reason whatsoever, I'll give you all of your money back.
If you bought access to my meal plan or cooking class membership site, your access will expire as soon as the refund is processed.
All of my products and services are currently electronic, meaning they aren't physical books or dvds. So there is no shipping required - just the ability to download!
Second best is by phone at 347-913-3318. It goes direct to voicemail, but you can leave a message. I can't always return calls.
My mailing address is 20 Jack Poole Dr, Woodstock, ON, Canada, N4S 8V9
"I have tried several of your recipes and I love them all. I just happen to stumble upon your website. Love it! It was just what I was looking for. Healthy, vegan recipes. There are many vegan websites but most of them are not very healthy."

Russian Police Choir performs Daft Punk's 'Get Lucky' at 2014 Winter Olympics' opening ceremony [WATCH]
Get the Most Popular Music Times Updates Weekly
Feb 08, 2014 11:37 AM EST
Just to make the Winter Olympics in Sochi even more intense, the feared Russian Interior Ministry police force took the stage for the opening ceremony to perform Daft Punk's "Get Lucky."
Dressed in formal military-style uniforms, the singers were a mixture of rigid and funky for a performance that seems like it could've been conceived for an episode of Saturday Night Live (wonder if we'll see a parody of the performance on tonight's episode).
Like Us on Facebook
This isn't the first time we've seen these men in uniform perform the Summer 2013 anthem. Back in November, footage of them performing the hit spread across the Internet.
According to Laughing Squid, the choir, officially known as the Alexandrov Ensemble, also performed a rendition of "Skyfall" from the James Bond film of the same name on a Russian morning television show last year.
Watch the performance for yourself here. Let us know what you think in the comments section below!

New Aging Conference to Deal with Aging, Architecture and Our Future
On October 1 and 2, at the University of Pennsylvania School of Architecture, a conference called New Aging "will investigate recent advances in architecture and urbanism dealing with age-related challenges." As Matthias Hollwich, the conference's instigator, phrases it, designers can work to positively transform the aging process:
"Not by building nursing homes for the elderly, but by creating architecture that supports a life that we personally would also be interested in living when old."
A series of workshops—Prototyping, Envisioning, Visiting, and Applying the Future—will focus on specific innovations "that assure the best utilization with the utmost dignity for age." Each will "search for a new type of architecture that envisions aging as a normal part of life" and that will "help reintegrate the elderly into community life."
For more information or to register for the conference, visit the New Aging Website.

American McGee has apologised for comments made earlier this week regarding EA's marketing campaign for Alice: Madness Returns.
During an AMA on Reddit earlier this week, McGee claimed the publisher had tried to "trick" gamers into thinking Alice: Madness Returns was a grittier, action-based title.
Following media coverage and "a few pissed messages from EA", McGee has apologised and elaborated on his claims.
"'Tricked' is the wrong word. I take that back," McGee wrote on his blog. "Electronic Arts doesn't trick customers into buying things. They carefully apply proven marketing techniques to achieve the desired customer response."
He continued: "Alice: Madness Returns does contain a lot of the stuff you see in those trailers, but my concern was that the main character was being portrayed in a way I felt didn't align with her character as I understand it."
McGee went on to note the traditional tensions between publishers and developers, before conceding that mourning the direction of gaming may be "the prerogative of aging creators".
"At the end of the day, I've got (well, had) a good relationship with EA. They helped put my name on the map. They funded two of my favourite creations."

The California Judicial Council has identified Yolo County as one of the very highest needs jurisdictions for replacement court facilities. The existing historic courthouse, built in 1917, has severe access and security shortcomings that cannot be readily corrected.
In 2009, the Administrative Office of the Courts solicited for architectural services for Yolo County Courthouse and the team of Fentress Architects and Dreyfuss & Blackford Architects was selected from over 45 other applicants.
The new courthouse will consolidate six locations into a single new downtown facility with 14 courtrooms and modern, supporting administrative space. A downtown site has been selected and preliminary design is well under way for a five-story civic landmark. This will be the most significant new public building in Woodland in 50 years, and will be carefully integrated into the urban fabric.

Souza Return Can't Save Reserves
Thrashing for second string. A surprise appearance in a Barnsley shirt from Dennis Souza couldn't stop Barnsley's Reserves from a six goal hammering at home to Derby County last night. Brazilian Souza, who made 80 appearances for The Reds between 2007 and 2009 before leaving for Qatar, was back in a reds shirt last night as he attempts to find new employment. He was also joined by veteran full-back Darren Powell, but they were ripped apart by a rampant Rams second string who were 3-0 up by the half hour mark courtesy of goals from Callum Ball, Jeffery Hendrick and Conor Doyle. There was no let up after the break either with Hendrick and Ben Pringle putting the Rams 5-0 up before Barnsley finally got a goal with Steven Bennett turning home a loose ball after good work from Martin Devaney. Kane Richards grabbed a sixth for Derby before Jim O'Brien grabbed a late consolation from the spot after he was brought down.

One of the most intolerable, if not irritating, words parents can hear from their children is "later."
"I'll clean my room later."
"I'll do my homework later."
"I'll call grandma later."
"I don't need to put gas in the car now. I'll just do it later."
It is irritating because parents know that later most often translates to not - rooms are left unclean, homework is unfinished, grandma is left waiting for the phone to ring. Later can also be dangerous - a car is driven on empty until it runs out of gas.
Such is how the American people feel when the President asked Congress last week to once again raise the debt ceiling for an additional borrowing authority of $1.2 trillion. To a large group of the American public, raising the debt ceiling again is akin to saying "We'll just address this debt and spending problem later."
But the problem is that nothing really happens later. At some point later becomes now, and if we do not take action today, it will eventually translate to never.
To be fair, President Obama's request is not the reason for our skyrocketing debt; it is a symptom of our skyrocketing spending. As a part of last year's debt ceiling agreement, legislative language was included to allow the debt ceiling to be raised automatically 15 days after the President officially notified Congress, unless Congress voted to deny the borrowing increase. I voted against this legislation last summer, in part because it put off what needed to be done then: cut spending.
The debt ceiling debate, and the President's request for additional borrowing power, has become the epitome of a culture of "later" that continues to permeate Washington.
The Senate has failed to pass a budget since April 2009. (We'll just pass a budget later).
Medicare spending is currently growing at a rate twice as fast as our nation's economy is growing. (We'll just address entitlements later).
Last week, the national debt hit the size of the U.S. economy (We'll just address the debt and spending later). Only, this new increase in the debt limit will be the sixth increase since President Obama took office, resulting in a total increase of $5.1 trillion or a 45 percent increase in the debt limit. Furthermore, failure to address the nation's debt could prevent the creation of up to 1 million jobs, using the Administration's own economic models.
The politics of later is not working. Our debt and deficit problem in the U.S. has not gotten better - it has gotten worse. While some spending cuts have been made, there are gaping areas of our federal budget that must be addressed. Failing to take action to cut current spending, restrict future spending, and improve federal budgeting will continue to worsen our nation's fiscal condition.
This week, I cosponsored and voted for legislation to disapprove of an increase in the statutory debt limit of $1.2 trillion dollars (from $15.194 to $16.394 trillion) because I believe later is not enough.
However, I also believe we cannot just stop at disapproval. There are several ways I am working to address our nation's fiscal situation now. I have made it a priority to see that we cut and cap spending and balance our federal budget. Here's a look at some of my key priorities to return America to firm fiscal footing:
These are just three ways that we can begin to turn later into today. Read about my additional work to cut, cap and balance our federal budget and help revitalize our economy, on my website.
Real accountability lies in the now, not when problems are swept under the rug and left to be addressed at a later time. It is time Washington embraced the politics of now.
Mr Forbes it surprises me that you mention Medicare when last year our nation spent $687 billion on defense. In 2009 Medicare grew by 8% ($502 billion) and is expected to grow by 6.9% annually through 2019. We have an aging population that relies on Medicare but its an insurance program we've payed into over our careers so shouldn't we receive the benefits? Really Medicare is just part of a much wider problem. Apparently our Federal government is not effective in administrating our nation. Whenever government steps in to set up a program like Medicaid or student loans or home ownership, the prices of those goods and services rise sharply. Its time the Federal government got out of the insurance business, brought our troops home to protect our borders and got down to its original tasks as set forth in our Constitution. We would save a lot of money, there'd be more jobs and general prosperity once more.

Hunt the Gould's turkey in the beautiful Sierra Madre Mountains in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico. The Gould's are known for their striking white tail feathers, long beards, heavy weight and their eagerness to answer and come to the call.
This outfitter is an expert at Gould's hunting and has been featured in many magazines and TV shows. He has over 20 ranches to hunt. Shot opportunity has been close to 100%.
Hunters fly into Chihuahua City where they are picked up by the outfitter and driven to the lodge which is a little over two hours away. The lodge is the perfect place to enjoy the Mexican culture and hospitality. Up to six hunters can be accommodated per hunt.
Hunters can bring their own shotguns but it is easier (and cheaper) to use the outfitter's guns as they have an ample supply of Beretta and Remingtons on hand. The outfitter will assist hunters with all the required paperwork and procedures.
Included are: transportation to and from Chihuahua City Airport and lodge, daily meals, lodging, use of firearm, decoys, guides, taxidermy prep, along with required paperwork for transporting your bird back home. Hunters arrive on Wed, hunt Thur, Fri & Sat and depart on Sun.
4 Day Hunt - $2395 for a one bird hunt or $2850 for a two bird hunt - includes license. Hunts are held from mid-April through May.

Winter (The Vicarage Garden under Snow), Probably January 1885, NuenenVincent van GoghDutch, 1853-1890Oil on canvas, mounted to panel 23 x 31-1/8 in. (58.4 x 79.1 cm) The Norton Simon Foundation F.1969.39.2.P © The Norton Simon Foundation On view Raised in a parish priest's family, Vincent van Gogh took an interest in peasants and laborers which alienated him from his middle-class community. Throughout his life, van Gogh turned to these local characters for his subject matter, depicting them at work in the fields as well as at their spinning wheels and looms, in arduous, protracted tasks. In fact, an X-ray of this picture reveals a composition of a woman seated before her spinning wheel. Whether a lack of resources or simple dissatisfaction spurred him to reuse the canvas, the artist ultimately painted a laborer tending to the garden of the vicarage where the van Goghs lived, in Nuenen. The worker appears to be clearing a path, and the barren trees, gray sky, and muddy snow present a general gloom that is broken only slightly by a few red leaves. In one of van Gogh's hundreds of letters penned to his brother, Theo, the artist expresses his views on the parallels between peasant life and the bleak landscape: "The life and death of peasants remain forever the same, withering regularly, like the grass and flowers growing in that churchyard."

Quoting Ralf Mardorf :
> There should be Linux audio apps, that need GTK2 libs.
Come on. Random thoughts about differen't DE's aren't LAU material.
If you have to know when Xfce will be like MS/Apple (whatever that
means), please ask that on the Xfce list.
If you fell like explaining to the world how your workflow looks like
and how you switch between DE's, start a blog.
And no, Gnome2 and GTK2 are two different things. Somewhere in the
future all GTK2 apps will ([probably] have to) be rewritten to use
GTK3 but that has nothing to do with Gnome2/3.

Banking in the developing world: The poor are different
HOW many people in the world have bank accounts and what do they use them for? You would think there would be answers to those questions, given that banking is the quintessentially global business, and is important not only in the West but in developing countries, where banks can help poor people save, borrow and invest. Yet, until now, data on the global reach of financial institutions have been limited. The IMF publishes a financial access survey of depositors and borrowers. But there is little about how much people save or why they borrow. Especially little is known about the banking practices of the poor, women and young people. So a big data hole got plugged last year when the Gates Foundation, the World Bank and Gallup World Poll carried out the biggest survey yet of how people save, borrow, make payments and manage risk. The results have just appeared47

Cent OS 5.2 not booting after installation
Thank You in Advance
- 02-12-2009 #2
Hi and Welcome !
If you want to use GRUB Boot Loader then it must be installed in MBR instead of Boot Sector.
EIther re-install GRUB in MBR or add an entry of CentOS in Vista Boot Loader.
Boot up from CentOS installation CD/DVD, select Rescue Mode and execute this at rescue shell :
Code:chroot /mnt/sysimage grub-install /dev/sda exit exit
In case you want to use Vista Boot Loader, google to instructions. There are a lot of packages available to do that.It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

If you have never had the pleasure of playing either of the Shenmue games then I feel for you. Because these are absolute classics which still get an occasional airing in my house. Unfortunately that means hanging on to my Dreamcast in order to play them. But that may not be the case for much longer.
For those not aware of Shenmue or Shenmue II, these were RPGs on the Dreamcast which then made it to the original Xbox when Sega got out of the console manufacturing game. They had a very particular feel and sense of inclusion about them, and are also the origin of QTEs (Quick Timer Events).
Sega recently teased it may be working on an HD remake of the games. But according to GamerZines, an insider states these have already been completed, and Sega is just mulling over when to release them to Xbox Live and PSN.
There is now speculation as to whether Sega is holding the HD remake back until it knows whether to make Shenmue III. But I cannot see that happening this many years after the release of the second installment. I'd love it to happen, but I think there is zero chance, sadly.

In case you missed one or more of the Salt Lake Chamber's Utah Business Reports on KSL News Radio, here is a recap of what we talked about this week.
We talked about the $15 million small business initiative launched by Goldman Sachs, the Governor's Office of Economic Development (GOED) and Salt Lake Community College. It's called 10,000 Small Businesses, and it aims to help such businesses nationwide in an effort to create jobs and boost local economies.
SLCC's School of Professional and Economic Development will be in charge of the education and training part of the program. The program will kick off in January 2013, and applications are being accepted right now. For more information, visit slcc10ksb.com.
As part of the Chamber's 125th anniversary, we want to share the rich history of the members that have made the Chamber so successful.
Founded in 1953 by Merrill and Lucille Christopherson in Salt Lake City, Christopherson Business Travel has been Utah's business travel leader for more than 50 years.
Today, Christopherson operates three full-service locations in Utah, Colorado and California, employs more than 250 travel professionals and serves over 900 national clients.
A certified woman-owned Utah corporation, Christopherson currently ranks as the largest travel agency in Utah and the 14th largest in the nation. Named by the Salt Lake Chamber as Small Business of the Year in 1996, Christopherson won the Best of State award in 2010 and 2011, has been recognized as one of Utah's fastest growing companies, and was listed on Travel Weekly's 2011 Power List.
U.S. Bank is presenting a total of 46-thousand dollars in grants to ten nonprofit organizations in the Greater Salt Lake area. These organizations support arts and culture, economic opportunity and education in the community.
Economic opportunity grants support organizations that provide affordable housing, encourage self-sufficiency, and assist economic development. Educational grants are provided to innovative programs that help low-income and at-risk students succeed in school and prepare for post-secondary education.
The organizations that received grants include Chamber members Big Brothers Big Sisters of Utah and Junior Achievement of Utah Incorporated for education, and also The Road Home for economic opportunity.
Zions Bank business clients have a new option for managing their accounts on the go. Zions recently launched a free smartphone app called Business Mobile Banking.
The app enables clients to check account balances, monitor recent account activity, transfer funds between their Zions Bank accounts, pay bills, and review and cancel scheduled bill payments. The Business Mobile Banking app has the same security features as Zions Online Banking. No personal data or account information is stored in the phone.
Business Mobile Banking is available on Apple's App Store and in Android's Google Play. It is also accessible through a compatible phone's web browser at ZionsBank.com.
The Utah Educational Savings Plan is one of only seven other 529 savings plans in the nation that received a dual 5-cap rating from SavingForCollege.com, an independent website informing families and financial advisers about 529 plans.
The 5-Cap Rating system awards five caps to programs that offer outstanding flexibility, attractive investments and economic benefits that provide a substantial boost to an account owner's savings. 529 plans are given two ratings, for their treatment of in-state participants and on their treatment of out of state participants. UESP earned five caps in both categories.
UESP requires no minimum deposits or balances to open an account, so families can save a little or a lot, according to their own schedules. Earnings on UESP accounts grow tax deferred and are federal and Utah state income tax free when used for qualified higher education expenses at any eligible educational institution that participates in federal financial aid programs for students.
You can start your educational savings plan today at UESP.org.
For the full reports from this week and weeks past, visit KSL Radio online. Remember to tune in between 12:30 and 1 p.m. to KSL News Radio every week day on 102.7 FM or 1160 AM. If your business is doing something great, let us know and we may just feature it on the Utah Business Report.

Hadfield releases stunning video.
Science Recorder Pro | |
Free trial. No ads. Exclusive interviews. Access to all articles. Just $4.99/yr. Subscribe |
Even the most mundane things change when you're living in the low-gravity environment of space. For instance, a washcloth doesn't act like a washcloth. Chris Hadfield, a Canadian astronaut, demonstrated this in an April 21 video that he shot from within the International Space Station, where he is currently station.
The Canadian Space Agency released the video onto YouTube, after which it became a very quick hit—4,633,815 views as of April 22, 9 p.m. In the video, Hadfield unseals a hockey-puck-shaped object that unfurls into a washcloth. He proceeds to douse it with water from a water bag—that is to say, he has the water bag douse it, since the water shoots out of the bottle onto the cloth as soon as he opens the bottle's lid.
