Guest Author - April Alisa Marquette
I'd like to briefly speak about something that we sometimes forget about -- cold weather accessories. Just because it gets chilly out, and we find that we must bundle up, does not mean we have to look like the Michelin tire man or Frosty the snowman. Ethnic beauties, we can yet be fashionable. Below I will list a few ways in which we can do this.
Sure, on bitter cold days we should cover our heads, because truthfully, a portion of our body heat can be lost through our crowns. However, many of us suffer, simply because we aren't aware of how fashionable hats can be, not to mention warm. Head coverings are also quite practical in wind, snow and rain. The softer they are too, the easier they will be to stow in a purse or a pocket when not in use. The trick however, is not to allow the hat to precariously perch on top of your hair. It should always cover your hair, your head and all. Yes, and it should flatter your lovely face. Another tip, on the days that you wear a hat, why not try a pulled back or smooth style? This way you won't wind up with hat hair. Or here's a tip: I slip a pretty silk or satin scarf on my head first. Then I don my fashionable or warm hat. My hair remains as I styled it, even when I remove my hat! I may fluff it a bit, but I stayed snug and protected from the elements.
Were you aware that sunglasses, also referred to as shades are cold weather accessories? On the days when the winter sun is brilliant, add a touch of allure and mystery by wearing a pair. Pick face-flattering frames, or even a bright color to chase the winter doldrums. Then if you so desire, check somebody out without announcing it to everyone else in the vicinity. For those of us who need bifocals or trifocals, prescription sunglasses are a way to go. Remember though, if your bone structure is small, try a petite pair; if youre blessed to be a large lovely, then by all means, supersize your frames.
Don't forget gloves. Not only do they protect our hands, but gloves can be so glam. Nowadays there are a host of styles to choose from. Brighten up basic outerwear with wool gloves in the sunburst color of your choice, or go with the timeless neutrals which include buff, brown, gray, navy and black. If youre a leather glove girl, then dont forget they aren't only great for driving, but they can be warm and fashionable too and they come in a host of great colors, jewel tones even. If you happen to like outerwear with three-quarter length sleeves, then try a lengthy pair of gloves reminiscent of evening wear. Snazzy! This way your forearms wont be left out. Theyll gain coverage as well. And if you really want to go all out, as a friend of mine does, wear a cocktail ring atop a flattering pair of slender gloves.
We all know that scarves can transform winter wear and that they come in fabulous colors and fabrics and that they can be worn in or out. Therefore ethnic beauties, well skip to the legwear which is not to be forgotten. Tights, no longer just for girls, will not only keep one warm, but they can hide varicose veins and the like. Some now even offer much-needed support. They come in lace, patterns, and colors. Worn under pants, skirts, or dresses they offer another layer of warmth. The same goes for socks, which I love. In patterns and various textures, socks offer a touch of class, whimsy, or panache when they peek from beneath trousers, pants or jeans. I love that when you need to look elegant, your sexy over-the-knee socks can add a hint of naughty. Or try a pair of legwarmers -- flashback, remember the movie Fame (1980) with Leroy and Coco? Legwarmers, available even at DSW, can be worn over jeans, boots, and leggings. They can be worn inside too, by why hide them?
I'll leave you with something someone once told me
It's often not the weather that's the problem; it's just that people are improperly dressed for it.
Enjoy your cold weather accessories ethnic beauties!

Due to some logistical conflicts at Trietsch, we are moving our annual Blue & Gold Banquet up one day. It will now be:
Date: Friday, February 21st
Time: 6:30-8:30 PM
Where: at Trietsch in the Ministry Center of the south wing. (map/directions)
Dens will have a half hour before the start time to set up their tables. The theme this year is the Winter Olympics, and each den has picked a sport featured in the winter games.
by chris with no comments yetWhile cleaning out his garage, Tim Bachelder found a bin full of these old pack shirts. These were the "Class B" shirts the pack used prior to Davis and I joining. We've had two different pack shirts since then!
We are going to sell these to pack members for $5 each. We have several Adult Larges, but also mediums and smalls. Youth sizes range from small to large.
We will have a table set up at the Pinewood Derby as well as at the next pack meeting. First come, first serve!
by chris with no comments yetOur annual Pinewood Derby is this Friday, January 24th. It will be in the Ministry Center at Trietsch UMC (where we normally meet for pack meetings).
Check-in, with official weighing, begins at 6:15 PM. Racing begins promptly at 7:00 PM.
The track we are using this year has four lanes, so each car will run four heats, one in each lane. We will take the car's fastest time of the four as its official time for determining results.
REMEMBER: Scout cars can NOT weigh more than 5 ounces. Outlaw cars cannot weigh more than 7.5 ounces. All cars must be under the 5-inch height limit, or they will not fit under the finish gate.
During racing, it is important that Scouts and siblings sit back from the track. We will assign track duties for the retrieval of cars from the finish line to certain Scouts. These are the only children which should be near the track. Our track host would be very appreciative of parents talking about this with their Scouts and other attending children beforehand.
If you have any questions, please contact your den leader, TJ, or Chris. See everyone Friday night!
UPDATE: All Scouts should be in their Class A uniforms for the Derby.
by chris with no comments yetJan. 3, 2014. It was a beautiful day at Sid Richardson Scout Camp. Thousands of scouts and their leaders and parents gathered for camping, map & orienteering training, and a grand adventure.
The challenge? Collect as many landmark hole-punches on our map.
Our team, Lego Landlubbers, hot-footed it across miles and miles of woods and trails, and landed smack in the middle of 35th place of 72 teams participating in Cub-O.
Team Score: 150 points
Finish Time: 3:48:40
See PDF report of full results

The pack holiday party is next Tuesday, December 10th, 6:30-8:30pm at Interskate in Lewisville. Tuesday is bargain night, admission is only $3, and regular skate rental is free. If you're not skating, you don't pay anything.
We will be distributing Pinewood Derby car kits at the party. (If you can't make it to the party, please make arrangements with your den leader or TJ for pickup.) Each Scout will have a car provided to him by the pack. If a parent or sibling wishes to enter a car, we need to know before Sunday night, so we have a count of how many to purchase.
Please let Chris or TJ know how many cars your family would like beyond the one provided to your Scout. Each car is $5.
by chris with no comments yetEach team of 3-6 Cubs gets a Cub-O map half an hour before the race starts. Your goal is to hike in the woods and find as many of the 40 orange and white orienteering flags as you can. Plan your strategy to score the maximum point total possible in 2 hours! Map training sessions for Cub Scouts and parents are held all morning.
Lunch will be served in the dining hall. Meal times are assigned to minimize the length of serving lines. Units may choose to do Pack Family Camping on Friday and/or Saturday night. Scores will be available by Saturday night. After the event, each team's competition race maps will be available to pick up at the District Roundtable meetings in January or February. This is a rain or shine event: extreme inclement weather (ice or snow) may cause a one week postponement.
Some of us including myself and my scout will go up on Friday and make camp, and camp till Sunday morning. If you are interested in camping the entire/part of the weekend please let Stephen know. If you're interested in only coming up for the day of orienteering please let me know that as well. I will fill out the necessary paperwork, but will need everyone's reply by Monday, December 29th. The cost is $17 per person plus $10 if you want a T-Shirt (I'll need your shirt size when you tell me if you're going.)
Hope to have a good size group going this year, we had a lot of fun last year.
by Stephen Keithly with no comments yetHope you all have had a wonderful Holiday weekend. I wanted to share a quick adventure that Ethan and I made earlier this week with a scout from another council up to Lake Ray Roberts. We first planned out everything we would need to take with us and then added items for what could be bad weather. Then Tuesday morning we got up, ate breakfast, and drove a little less that an hour to Johnson Branch. There is a $7 per adult fee to gain access to the park for any of you that think about going up there. We then found our place to park, made a pit stop at the provided restroom, and then hit the marked out trail. This is an out and back trail with lots of smaller trails that run off of it to add to the exploring. We decided to save the smaller trails for the next trip and just stick to the main trail. Including the time we spent stopped eating the lunches we brought, we were on the trail almost 5 hours. In this time we hiked just over 6 miles. The weather turned out perfect and the birds came out in the afternoon. The colors were amazing to see and experience in the open, and led to some great conversations with these two scouts. We were able to make a difference by finding trash left on the trail and putting it in the provided receptacles. I would recommend this trail to anyone looking for a "beginner" trail. It's got some ups and downs, but it's a clear wide path that is clearly marked. Looking forward to going back and exploring the smaller trails.
by Stephen Keithly with no comments yetAs part of our fall camp out, we picked up trash and debris along a section of Lake Grapevine as a service project. Our Scouts and their families worked really hard to make this area of the shoreline more enjoyable for others. Their presence even convinced one kayaker to join in the cleanup!
by chris with no comments yetOur summer get-together for the month of July will be bowling at Main Event in Lewisville, on Saturday, July 20th, 2-4 PM. The pack will pick up the tab for the lanes, so Scouts, siblings, and parents who wish to participate will be responsible for their own shoe rental.
Please plan to be at Main Event for 1:45 PM to get your shoes, pick out a ball, and so on, so we are ready to roll at 2.
Hope to see everyone!

I also work with Oromos in Ethiopia, such as Roba Bulga who visited Wagner's campus in the fall of 2014 as the Wagnerian newspaper reported [here]. In my spare time, I enjoy detective novels and film noir, am somewhat devoted to running and swimming, and have done a few triathlons.

Other Mechanical Engineering Terms
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Device that amplifies or replaces human or animal effort to accomplish a physical task. A machine may be further defined as a device consisting of two or more parts that transmit or modify force and motion in order to do work. The five simple machines are the lever, the wedge, the wheel and axle, the pulley, and the screw; all complex machines are combinations of these basic devices. The operation of a machine may involve the transformation of chemical, thermal, electrical, or nuclear energy into mechanical energy, or vice versa. All machines have an input, an output, and a transforming or modifying and transmitting device. Machines that receive their input energy from a natural source (such as air currents, moving water, coal, petroleum, or uranium) and transform it into mechanical energy are known as prime movers; examples include windmills, waterwheels, turbines, steam engines, and internal-combustion engines.

Another unconventional Words for the Weekend post (for the weekend of 08/31/13, Volume 46) and an unexpected one as I had said I would be taking this weekend off. However, I received such an outpouring of support from "My Grace is Gone" and discovered so many of you are struggling right now with grief and with alcohol abuse, some of you with both.
Some of you are barely hanging on right now.
I received a touching e-mail from a lady who recently lost her mother. She was so brave to reach out and share some of her pain with me. What follows is a portion of my reply.
This week I also include some songs, quotes and a poem, some previously shared in past volumes, that bring me comfort. I hope they do the same for you.
This weekend's volume is dedicated to her and to others in pain. It will be sunny one day.
Dear Crystal,
I'm so sorry to hear that life is getting you down at the moment. Goodness knows, it can be so tough when nothing seems to fit and little seems to be fulfilling. I'm not sure there's any specific advice I can give that will help bring life back its savour. Although they mean well, it's sometimes quite galling to be reminded how much people love you when you don't love yourself that much.
I've found that it's of some help to think of one's moods and feelings about the world as being similar to weather:
Here are some obvious things about the weather:
It's real.
You can't change it by wishing it away.
If it's dark and rainy it really is dark and rainy and you can't alter it.
It might be dark and rainy for two weeks in a row.BUT
It will be sunny one day.
It isn't under one's control as to when the sun comes out, but come out it will.
One day.It really is the same with one's moods, I think. The wrong approach is to believe that they are illusions. They are real. Depression, anxiety, listlessness – these are as real as the weather – AND EQUALLY NOT UNDER ONE'S CONTROL. Not one's fault.
They will pass: they really will.
In the same way that one has to accept the weather, so one has to accept how one feels about life sometimes. "Today's a crap day," is a perfectly realistic approach. It's all about finding a kind of mental umbrella. "Hey-ho, it's raining inside: it isn't my fault and there's nothing I can do about it, but sit it out. But the sun may well come out tomorrow and when it does, I shall take full advantage."
I don't know if any of that is of any use: it may not seem it, and if so, I'm sorry. I just thought I'd drop you a line to wish you well in your search to find a little more pleasure and purpose in life.
Very best wishes
Stephen Fry
From site: Letters of Note, originally appeared in Volume 28. Letters Of Note: The Book will be published October 2013.
"But you can't get to any of these truths by sitting in a field smiling beatifically, avoiding your anger and damage and grief. Your anger and damage and grief are the way to the truth. We don't have much truth to express unless we have gone into those rooms and closets and woods and abysses that we were told not go in to. When we have gone in and looked around for a long while, just breathing and finally taking it in – then we will be able to speak in our own voice and to stay in the present moment. And that moment is home." ~ Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life, originally appeared in Volume 35
"We stumble on… bring a little noise into the silence, find in others the ongoing of ourselves. It is almost enough… The world spins. We stumble on. It is enough." ~ Colum McCann, Let the Great World Spin, originally appeared in Sunday Words
"There is no escape from the slave catcher's songs
For all of the loved ones gone
Forever's not so long
And in your soul they poked a million holes
But you never let 'em show
Come on, it's time to go
And you already know
Yeah, you already know how this will end"
"Grief can destroy you –or focus you. You can decide a relationship was all for nothing if it had to end in death, and you alone. OR you can realize that every moment of it had more meaning than you dared to recognize at the time, so much meaning it scared you, so you just lived, just took for granted the love and laughter of each day, and didn't allow yourself to consider the sacredness of it. But when it's over and you're alone, you begin to see that it wasn't just a movie and a dinner together, not just watching sunsets together, not just scrubbing a floor or washing dishes together or worrying over a high electric bill. It was everything, it was the why of life, every event and precious moment of it. The answer to the mystery of existence is the love you shared sometimes so imperfectly, and when the loss wakes you to the deeper beauty of it, to the sanctity of it, you can't get off your knees for a long time, you're driven to your knees not by the weight of the loss but by gratitude for what preceded the loss. And the ache is always there, but one day not the emptiness, because to nurture the emptiness, to take solace in it, is to disrespect the gift of life." ~ Dean Koontz, "Odd Hours", originally appeared in Volume 9
"Hold this heart when I go
sing my song when I go
sing it loud when I go
sing it proud when I go
some people are learning to die and some people are yearning to fly…
Oh the thought of death has yet to make me afraid
'cause I will march right off this world into the next like it's a grand parade
but if you feel lonely just like you want to run and hide
then I'll wrap my wings around you and give you strength and I won't leave your side
and I'll watch over you
I'll watch over you
oh, my care will cover you just like the moon'll do
you know I'd love to get to heaven
you know I'd love to see the view
but first I think I'll stay and watch over you"
"Whether you've seen angels floating around your bedroom or just found a ray of hope at a lonely moment, choosing to believe that something unseen is caring for you can be a life-shifting exercise." ~ Martha Beck, originally appeared in Sunday Words
"If I ever leave this world alive
I'll thank you for all the things you did in my life
If I ever leave this world alive
I'll come back down and sit beside your
feet tonight
Wherever I am you'll always be
More than just a memory
If I ever leave this world alive
If I ever leave this world alive
I'll take on all the sadness
That I left behind
If I ever leave this world alive
The madness that you feel will soon subside
So in a word don't shed a tear
I'll be here when it all gets weird
If I ever leave this world alive"
If I Ever Leave This World Alive by Flogging Molly
nobody but you – by Charles Bukowski
nobody can save you but
you will be put again and again
into nearly impossible
they will attempt again and again
through subterfuge, guise and
to make you submit, quit and /or die quietly
nobody can save you but
and it will be easy enough to fail
so very easily
but don't, don't, don't.
just watch them.
listen to them.
do you want to be like that?
a faceless, mindless, heartless
do you want to experience
death before death?
nobody can save you but
and you're worth saving.
it's a war not easily won
but if anything is worth winning then
this is it.
think about it.
think about saving your self.
your spiritual self.
your gut self.
your singing magical self and
your beautiful self.
save it.
don't join the dead-in-spirit.
maintain your self
with humor and grace
and finally
if necessary
wager your self as you struggle,
damn the odds, damn
the price.
only you can save your
do it! do it!
then you'll know exactly what
I am talking about.
"nobody but you" by Charles Bukowski from Sifting Through the Madness for the Word, the Line, the Way, 2002
This poem was recently shared in last month's Volume 41 (Sometimes I Wish), but I felt it a perfect closing for this week. Save your self. Do it! Do it! You're worth saving. Do not drown in your grief. Do not drown your sorrows. Your sorrows know how to swim. Better than you do. Save your self. Do it! Do it! You are so worth it. ~ Christy
(I won't be responding to comments right away due to my marathon training (in fact, if you see me on-line this weekend, tell me to back away slowly from the computer and to take my "baby donkey" for a run) but if you have a song or poem that comforts you or some thoughts to comfort anyone else hurting, please, please feel free to share. Have a peaceful weekend, and for those in the U.S., a fun Labor Day holiday.)

As you'll no doubt understand over the next week or so, bmaz and I have been comparing the case of David Passaro, the only CIA-related person to be prosecuted for detainee abuse, with what happened in Gul Rahman's death at the Salt Pit. Passaro, a CIA contractor obviously trained in SERE-based interrogation techniques, was convicted of assaulting an Afghan, Abdul Wali, with his hand, foot, and flashlight, while interrogating him at the Asadabad firebase in Eastern Afghanistan in June 2003.
I'll have a lot more to say about Passaro's case in upcoming posts (short story, though, is his defense tested many of John Yoo's favorite theories and lost). But for now, I wanted to point to two passages in this filing, which requests electronic communications evidence related to Wali's interrogation and death. One thing it requests are transcripts of satellite phone calls from the Field.

Theme 10-15 is a reconstruction of Theme 5-17, and this theme is replaced to 3 Big Brother Birds, 6 Pigs, and all of which has construction hats. You will have an achievement for world 10, the mason moustache. After completing world 10, you will proceed to Theme 11-1. Some people think this theme is easier than Theme 5-17 (the level the pigs are trying to re-create) because the Big Brother Birds are stronger than the original birds.

Christopher showed up at the bar to ask the foreman if John Ross had bribed him, but the foreman didn't squeal. It was as Christopher was leaving that news broke on the TV of Tommy Sutter's body being found. Cliff saw it. Pamela saw it. She phoned Frank, and when she couldn't get him, she tried to reach her father.
At Southfork, Ann was back from her ride (and parenting pep talk from Sue Ellen), and Bobby was out for one. He wasn't there to hear lawyer Lou's great news: He has to remove himself from the case because Harris had filed a complaint against Bobby after Bobby threatened to rip his head off a few days earlier, which Lou had witnessed. That being the second altercation between Bobby and Harris, it was looking like Bobby wouldn't be able to argue self-defense. Now, the prosecution would say it was premeditated and he could face up to 20 years in prison.
At the hospital, Harris' mother was turning into a villain to rival J.R. Ewing. Judith Light is actually scaring me. "Get your strength, and I will make sure Bobby goes to jail, taken from Ann the way she took you from me so many years ago. Make her know what it's like to look at the one you love in pain, and hurt. Get your rest, and when you wake, you will be king once more," she said, close to Harris' face and breathing tube. She kissed his forehead as a tear ran down her face.
John Ross showed up at Pamela's place, but security wouldn't let him go upstairs. He phoned her and told her that Frank and J.R. were working together because J.R. doesn't want her to get any shares of Ewing Energies. She asked why he was helping her, and when he said to protect their deal, she told him she could handle it herself. So she wanted him to say it's because he cares about her? He must be great in bed, too.
We watched the ballistics team at work as Pamela packed her suitcase with her passport. I was thinking this had to be a misdirect. As the detectives knocked on a door, she opened hers. Cliff was there. The detectives were at Frank's, arresting him. Thank you, daddy. I guess he somehow put Frank's prints on the gun. Now Frank was the one wearing prison orange. Cliff visited him and wanted to know why Frank betrayed him. Frank told him about Pamela treating him like a dog, and Cliff said he should have come to him and they'd have worked it out -- that's what families do. Crime families will abandon you but tell you that your family will be taken care of. Sorry, Frank. No more white T-shirt and jeans.
John Ross met the foreman at that bar that guy never seems to leave to give him his severance package. That's decent of him. The foreman told him that Christopher is on to him. "Just 'cause he's a pussy doesn't mean he ain't smart," John Ross said. But he's not worried: "It's good that he thinks he has a chance. That'll make it hurt more when he loses." Oh, John Ross, your threats have nothing on Harris' mother.
I hate how everyone is surprised that Bobby is in for "quite the fight" in his trial WHEN HE CONFESSED. Christopher suggested Bobby tell the truth, since it has a way of coming out, and it would be horrible for them all to keep this secret from Emma. Christopher is the voice of reason on this show. After Lou showed up to tell them Harris was now awake and talking, Ann begged Bobby to let her take responsibility because she assumed Harris would out her. So they told Lou the truth, right as Harris told the police a lie -- he said Bobby did it. Harris' mother orchestrated that. Well done, mom. Man, I hope J.R. gets a scene with her in next week's episode.
Lou also delivered the news that Frank had been arrested for Tommy's murder, not Pamela. Christopher made it to the hearing where he heard Frank confess to killing both Tommy and Rebecca because they had threatened Pamela. Frank said he hoped that the family he disgraced would one day forgive him. As Christopher threw a fit saying Pamela was getting away with murder, Frank took a cyanide pill from inside his shirt and suffered a slow-motion death. I presume that's what Cliff had meant when he pointed to that same spot on himself during their visit and told Frank he should do the honorable thing for him. Bye, Frank.
Your turn. What are your theories for how Bobby will stay out of prison? Is it possible Emma DID hear something?

I've read in a couple different places that it is important not to plant a small banana in too big of a pot. Why?
I've been growing Musa Basjoo and Ensete Maurelli in the ground AND in pots of varying sizes. I've never noticed any differences in growth rate or amount of growth over a Season. It seems odd to me because a small banana in a very big pot is basically the same as the same small banana planted in the ground. Isn't it? If the roots aren't touching the bottom, how does the plant even know its in a pot? Please educate me! :) Sam |

Sam, Thats a great question.. I hope that someone can educate me as well... as I nervously transplanted my baby musa from a 15 inch pot to a 8" pot a few days ago...good question:) |
- Posted by banana_fun (My Page) on Tue, May 27, 08 at 15:45
If a pot is too large the plant will use its energy to seek out water and nutrients that will slow down growth above the soil. This could potentially kill the plant if the plant is weak. If the plant is potted in the correct container size then the plant will not have to use unnecessary energy to produce roots. Feel free to add any other reasons |
- Posted by coniferfreak z6 PA (My Page) on Tue, May 27, 08 at 23:40
Banana_fun, what you're saying makes sense. BUT.. wouldn't that be the case if the banana was planted in the ground too?? Or maybe it is an issue of drainage. ? |
- Posted by jardinerowa 9b (My Page) on Wed, May 28, 08 at 1:28
Here's what I've been told and here's what I've experienced. Planting a small banana in a larger pot is inviting rot, especially when the plant is young, transplanted, or in stress. Bananas like things wet but only when actively growing. A small banana likes water, but only so much. Also as part of plant respiration, water evaporates through it's leaves. Let's say you put a 6" tall banana plant in a 5 gallon pot. You water the plant and the dirt in the pot. Now what happens? The banana plant not only has the water it needs, but many times more than what it can ever use. It can't escape the wet dirt that surrounds it because the water is contained in the pot (even with drain holes). It only has so many leaves of a small size that it can't "evaporate" all that water. Eventually...it succombs to rot. Whereas if you plant a small banana in a smaller pot, it can take the water to the point where the soil starts to lose some of it's moisture, thus letting the roots "breathe" in the dirt. Once the banana grows bigger, you can repot it. I learned this the hard way, planting small bananas in a large pot. I wondered why they didn't grow and then rotted. I thought, "well the banana is gonna get huge so I better just put it in a big pot now!" But that thinking cost me. The next baby bananas I put in six inch pots and they are loving it!!! New leaves coming up with no sign of distress...the difference is night and day!! Zach |
- Posted by sunsetsammy (My Page) on Wed, May 28, 08 at 3:44
Thank you Zach That is a good explanation. Using that logic.... I guess it really depends on how much you water, and how fast your soil will dry out. Both things would depend on temperature and drainage. A small banana planted in a big pot during a cool spring season, probably would rot if it were overwatered. The temps are too cool and like you said the plant can only use so much water. However the same plant in the same pot might do fine if the soil wasn't overly wet and/or the temperature was hot enough to dry out the soil before things got too soggy. I guess it just depends on how much you want to monitor the soil in the pot. Does that make sense? |
- Posted by staceybeth 5 or 6 (My Page) on Wed, May 28, 08 at 10:47
Hey Zach, thanks for the insight....I truly believe that I did have my Musa in too large of a pot. Its in a 8"now and seems to be happier... however, when will I know to repot it into a bigger pot? |
- Posted by banana_fun (My Page) on Wed, May 28, 08 at 12:00
Stacey, you will know when to re-pot when you can pull the plant out of the pot and almost all the soil comes up with it. for your size plant I would estimate about 2-4 weeks at optimal temperature and humidity. Coniferfreak, I have 12 sikkimenses seedlings that are 3 weeks old and are 8" high, they were started in nursery plugs and are now in 2.5" pots and will be potted up to 4" pots this weekend. Hopefully 6" pot the week after next and then eventually into the ground from 6" pot. |
- Posted by jardinerowa 9b (My Page) on Thu, May 29, 08 at 13:12
Sunsetsammy, You're so right about having to keep a close monitor on the soil moisture. Well draining soil is a must. Still if in a large pot, I worry that either I'll water too little or too much, so I just stick to smaller pots until they grow and then I don't worry so much :) Zach |
- Posted by sunsetsammy (My Page) on Thu, May 29, 08 at 15:08
Thanks Zach, Consider myself educated! :) I have a couple extra bananas this year so maybe I'll do an experiment. |

Soil physics in a pot is dramatically different than in the ground. In the ground, the Earth provides drainage. In a pot, it depends on the substrate among other things. Bottom line: drainage in a pot is generally much weaker than in the ground. So if there is excess soil in a pot, it ends up remaining moist which can lead to rot. In the ground it's usually not an issue. When the roots take up most of the volume in a pot, there is no excess moisture because it gets absorbed by the plant. This also requires much more frequent watering than if in the ground. There's your answer, in a simplified manner. There are of course many other factors to consider that are beyond the scope of this post but there is lots of excellent info on these forums if you search. |
- Posted by sandy0225 z5 Indiana (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Fri, May 30, 08 at 16:49
And if you use too a big of a pot it's too hard to move it around. LOL.... |
you can also buy a fairly inexpensive moisture probe to see what is going on inside the pot.Laarge pots appear to be all dried out on the top, but can be very moist about 8 inches down.I also do not use the water holding saucers that come with pots.Indoors I use a saucer much bigger than the pot so I can see the water drain out the bottom. |

The GNF Engineering Department is dedicated to the rapid conception, design, construction, and validation of advanced, high throughput automated biological discovery systems. Our mission is to amplify the capabilities and throughput of GNF's researchers by many orders of magnitude, enabling them to think outside the box in addressing the scientific challenges that inspire them. It is our goal to become the gold standard of automated scientific instruments, and the technology we create is also geared for manufacture and sale to outside organizations.
We keep in mind that quantum leaps in scientific advances have often followed technological advances. At GNF, scientists not only have access to the latest in today's technology, they also can work with the Engineering Department to come up with tomorrow's technological solutions when the tools needed to solve their specific problems do not exist. We are confident, given the range of top level skill sets assembled in the GNF Engineering Department, that if a scientific need is presented, a technological solution will be forthcoming.
Not simply a design services group, the Engineering Department collaborates with the institute's research scientists and their colleagues to develop practical concepts from even the most preliminary ideas. From that point, the Engineering group develops detailed specifications that define the total program, then performs concept tests, produces designs, builds the working prototype, validates its operation, and assists the scientific collaborator in integrating the system into his/her scientific process.
With 45 full-time engineers and technicians, our group draws on our staff's extensive experience in the automotive, manufacturing, machine tool, consulting, and biotech industries. The group's talent in all disciplines of engineering—mechanical, electrical, structural, design, control, software, and process engineering—allows us to provide a comprehensive number of services on-site. These include computer-aided design and manufacturing, machine shop, electronics lab, machine assembly, and testing facilities. Our group is gaining a reputation for its speed, creativity, attention to detail, and, most importantly, high reliability in design and manufacturing.
In 2002, we expanded our parts fabrication and manufacturing capability with the launch of the GNF Systems Unit. GNF Systems was started to manufacture the fully developed products in our portfolio of systems for an expanding customer base—both inside and outside of the Novartis family of companies. Our 15,000 square-foot facility in Sorrento Valley has extensive in-house CNC machining capability along with welding, grinding, assembly, and testing capabilities.

This morning I noticed a teeny frog hopping around my bathroom.
My first thought — I hope my husband doesn't see it because he'll give me that I-told-you-to-keep-the-door-shut look.
My second thought, however — You poor, dumb frog, so teeny. You're probably just a baby and I don't have any froggy food in my house and if you don't get accidentally stepped on, you'll surely die from hunger unless you find your way back outside.

We have had several no heat calls lately that ended up being caused by thermostats with dead batteries. I blogged about this issue last year but it appears that it is a subject that must be mentioned annually like smoke detector batteries.
If you are wondering if your thermostat even has batteries here is some information that you will find helpful:
Round Honeywell thermostats (Model T87) do not require batteries whether they are the older gold models or the newer white models. The old models worked by turning the dial which causes mercury in a tube to make a connection between the two wires and activate the burner. Simple system with no extra frills that require no additional electricity. You will see a picture of this type of thermostat here. Please be aware that if you replace this type of thermostat yourself, you must dispose of it properly through a hazmat collection agency. Crowley Fuel will collect and dispose of them for our customers.
The newer Honeywell thermostats are now digital and require additional electricity but they get it from the control on the burner and not from batteries. It is not possible to use this type of themostat with all oil burner controls because some of them do not have a transformer for sending voltage back to the thermostat. See the picture of a digital Honeywell T87 thermostat.
Thermostats that do require battery power such as the one shown here are usually rectangular and digital. You can see that there would be room for usually two AA batteries within. It is a simple matter to check for batteries by prying the cover off from the base. Many digital thermostats will have a reading that shows what the life of the battery is on the screen. If you don't know how to access this information read the paperwork provided with the thermostat. If you do not have this paperwork, go to the manufacturer's website and they will have it there for the model of your thermostat.
I recommend that you pass along this information to friends and family and save them from having to pay for a service call. I was called to the home of an elderly person recently by one of her children because they believed that she had run out of oil. It turned out that her thermostat batteries needed replacing and that she was not out of oil. So please help your elderly family, friends, neighbors and clients to stay warm by the simple act of checking and/or changing the batteries in their thermostats.
Stay Warm!Bob LaFlamme

Works now, thanks!
I've been waiting for a larger Synapse forever!
However, it seems the pack is not really hydration compatible?
i love this picture!
Attachment 3574
it's like maverick without lunch, with lunch, and with lunch + dessert!
well, not really. maverick without lunch is probably closer to the middle photo. and thank goodness there isn't a picture of maverick with lunch + dessert!
and this one - it's like the mommy and me picture!
Attachment 3575
Before I even looked at the video--I pulled the trigger on the Black/Iberian for my middle son...he was so sad to go to the museum today with friends--"call me when they announce it!" Sneaky Mommy!
I've been waiting so long for this magic moment; just preordered steel dyneema/wasabi! Love that combo.
I'd recommend placing an order ASAP for that color combination and putting this in the comments box:
"Per Darcy, please ship my order so that I receive it no later than April 26th, as I'm leaving on a trip on the following day -- the 27th."
As I mentioned in that previous thread, the Synapse 25 could ship by the end of April.... but I do think we can get one to you in time! :)
Also, as a heads-up, everyone -- we may sell out of Steel Dyneema/Steel and Steel Dyneema/Wasabi very soon. And, after that, it'll be a pretty long wait for those two colors.
As far as it being perfect, I wish I could agree. The allocation of space isn't as well thought out as I'd expected. It still doesn't seem big enough. I'm confused by the pricing, as it's not the biggest TB backpack, yet it's the most expensive. I'm sure others will disagree with me, but I'm going to keep looking.
I didn't get to use mine yesterday....
Congratulations....the Synapse 25 looks fabulous.
That's ok! Send me an email with your order number: firstname.lastname@example.com (and we'll add those comments)

Addendum: I realize that 'no lawn' does not mean 'no maintenance', but it does mean we can go through longer periods of time between jobs. And with lower water needs, we won't come home to a half overgrown / half crisp lawn in the middle of August. |
You could hire a kid, landscaper, or fireman to mow the lawn and water it once a week when you are gone. |

Oh dear, I wish I had a picture for you but I don't. I can, however, provide some suggestions if that's okay? Here goes: You have a lovely white home which would lend a nice backdrop for stand out simple plantings. Personally, I would plant evergreen shrubs, be it yew or boxwoods to outline the front yard, grown up to 2.5' - 3' high, depending on the size of the house of course. Near the sidewalk, just where the ground dips down, I'd plant smaller shrubs such as spireas mirroring both sides of the steps for consistency or contrasting colored shrubs such as the dark evergreen color with the light boxwood color. I'd break down the front concrete path leading up to the front door altogether. Within the enclosure, I'd make a full circle outlined with bricks and put compacted gravel in the center, picture a bullseye now, the bullseye of that circle would be another space to plant (consistently) more spirea around a pretty birdbath or not so big fountain. I'd create the path from the circle to the front door of gravel as well and I'd create another path connected from the circle to the drive way. Forget the winding paths, make your front yard look elegant (like an English castle entrance) if possible. If you chose a fountain for the center "bullseye", a stone or concrete one would look nice with several tiers to plant potato vines and ivy on the base tier so that it cascades down. On the 2nd tier, depending on the size of course, plant red colored flowers, small ones so that the color could contrast the house. This would be a pretty focal point from within the house as well. Another nice contrast would be to paint the top trim of the house the same color as the front door. That would help define the style of the home as well. Aesthetically, it needs a little more definition. Back to the "bones" (shrubs, structures, outlines of the yard)... Within the enclosure and outside of the brick outlined circle, make several planting beds and only plant those plants that inspire you or make your life easier ;). Personally, I'd measure out the graveled circle to be nearly 3/4 of the front yard. As for the steps, are those covered with a dark carpet or painted? I'd suggest keeping that consistent with the type of fountain or birdbath you get, in other words, to have it look like concrete or stone. And I'd expand the steps to the left (when standing at the front door facing the sidewalk) to either put a chair or a planter with a evergreen (Xmas tree shape-like) just to add a little more flair. Maybe some nice planters boxes wrapping around the porch and side windows, with cascading plants and red ones like the ones in the fountain. Consistency is key. It might be a bit much depending on the size of the planters boxes as it all has to "work" well together. Last suggestion, YOU COULD JUST DO AWAY WITH THE GRASS AND REPLACE IT WITH A GROUNDCOVER, but if you're getting full sun, make sure you get the right groundcover that will withstand the exposure. Good luck! :) |
Planting beds and gravel, left unattended for a couple of weeks at a time, are going to be full of weeds. I agree with laag, pay someone $20 or $30 to mow it, and put out the sprinkler once a week if it doesn't rain. If you're determined to replace it, a dense groundcover would work, but it could take a couple years or more for it to get thick enough to keep weeds from germinating. In the meantime, you'll need to weed it and water it, or you'll come home to dead groundcover instead of brown lawn. |
... not to mention marital bliss. |
- Posted by dainaadele Z4a-5b Nebraska (My Page) on Wed, Apr 25, 07 at 20:05
Trust me, I am trying to preserve marital bliss. If there was no grass, I would not have to keep nagging him about how the grass need to be cut again. (He may love that green carpet, but he is way too busy to keep it up properly. He grew up in a neighborhood where few had manicured lawns, let alone kept their grass cut, so thinks it is okay to let it go for a couple of weeks, but our home here is in a neighborhood where folks are a bit more picky over what goes on next door. And of course it is me that gets the teasing comments about how I need to "get my husband to mow the lawn".) The other option is to do it myself, but I hate to mow, but I don't mind pulling weeds. On top of that, our annual rainfall is 25 inches in good years and with our sandy soil, what does fall, does not hang around long. I was hoping that ground covers and some shrubs with deeper root systems would require less frequent watering and be the kind of gardening that I enjoy doing. Talking it over with my husband, he is willing, but can't envision it, and while I could push it, I would much rather have him see the goal before I make him spend time and money on this project. I was hoping to find some pictures somewhere of ground covers being used in larger areas than the traditional drip line bed under a tree. Therein lies my problem. Oh well. Homerunriot: Thanks for the ideas. I had not thought too much of keeping it formal, so much of what you read these days concentrates on curved assymetry. |

Below is a link to a thread with lots of different thoughts on grass-less front lawns. "ivy/pachysandra with a new curving walkway, lamp post, and a couple of lower maintenance perennials" I have to admit that I cannot "see" what you are talking about either. Shrubs and hardscape can yield a lower maintenance landscape but I would be afraid that ground covers and perennials would just create a much higher maintenance landscape. Do you feel like you could take the leap from a foundation planting with a few shrubs and perennials to a full front yard garden? Maybe you could expand your foundation beds to 12' deep and start from there. - Brent |
Here is a link that might be useful: Lawns (or lack there of)
The gentleman who put my round patio and short curved path from back stoop to patio, is more of a landscaper than patio builder (did a great job, but his love is landscaping) and his front and back yard have hardly any grass growing. In his long back yard you can't even see any grass altho' up on a small hill there is a little. He uses bark, mulch and has a few trees and shrubs and a few flowering plants that are no-maintenance, too and it looks so nice!!! He has a birdbath here, and a statue there, 2-3 lightly colored birdhouses on wood posts with a feeder nearby, 2 pots of pansies on both sides somewhere along a short cobblestone-type path to his patio and another statue. His front yard is small so he put a few daylillies here and there among the mulch and 2 Adirondeck chairs with a very little round wrought-iron table in between and it looks very nice. Maybe you could put a combo wood/wrought iron bench with a birdbath or something near in among mulch and not as many plants as he has...(just an idea). |
Quite frankly, I don't understand why you don't mow it yourself. I'm 62, hate to mow, but am single and I mow weekly a lawn that is at least 30 times the size of yours. It takes 1 1/2 hours. Come on. Your lawn can't take more than 15 minutes, even if there is more out back. |
- Posted by barefootinct 6a (My Page) on Thu, Apr 26, 07 at 8:11
Perhaps a compromise of sorts. You can expand your front beds considerably with "lower" maintenance shrubs and ground cover that would require a good chuck of work a few times a year but can be left on their own for a good period of time as well. And then leave a nice little patch of the healthy lawn you have and use a good old-fashioned non-power push mower once a week or so. The quiet non-power mower is actually pleasant to use if you only have a small patch and you keep the mower blades sharp. A thought. |

I had a 'grassless' yard, both front and back, in my previous home and have to agree with the others that time and effort will not disappear by having no grass. Because water was a premium in our area and the gophers and groundsquirrels destroyed my new sod in 2 years, I went with something similar to mohavemaria's yard.........just different plants. Drip line had to be put in so the young shrubs would survive the summers and even tho the area was covered with mulch I had to spend spring and late summer weeding. Shrubs had to be pruned and shaped and there was always 'clean-up' from dying flowers and leaves. I'd say go for it if you're willing to put in a sprinkler system and if you both enjoyed gardening. |

Yowza! This is hysterical! I have no idea there were so many grass lovers out there! That beautiful lush green you see in the picture is due to an unusual 3" of rain this week. By mid summer, weeks go by without rain. Many folks run their sprinklers every night around here to keep the stuff looking green. Just in case everyone thinks I am way too lazy to mow, ya'll need to know that we have 200' of long skinny terraced yard in the back so mowing also means pulling the mower up and down to each level. My personal goal was to keep the grass (and mower) on the lowest and largest expanse for kids to play on and landscape the rest away. The top level in the back is already in the process of being turned in to a patio/perennial garden (every year I expand the beds a couple of feet as I divide my plants). I have grown up gardening, so I am not cluless. I just want to transfer what I am doing in the back to the front, but every time I try to do this in my head, I seem to lean towards the informal cottagy look, which I do not want for the front. AAARRGGGHH! |
OK, so you're determined. I think you were getting suggestions to stay with the lawn, not because there are grass-lovers here, but because people often have no idea how much work the lawn-less yard is going to be. I also mow my own lawn, always have, currently one acre, the previous house was two acres. If your difficult lawn is in the back, why not start there? Just wondering. Ground covers interspersed with mulched areas filled with shrubs and perennials are a nice alternative. Check your library to see if they have the book linked below. Also, do a search for "front yard gardens" to find articles and other books on the topic. |

I was a grass lover, when my house was new and before I had kids. Grass is the cheapest was to landscape a large area, and my house was new. Then I had the time for mowing and fretting over clover and chickweed. Pushing the noisy 60 lb mower was a labor of "love". After awhile I wanted more than grass, and I needed to devote my time to raising kdis instead of grass blades. The way my house is sited, I don't have a front yard, just a driveway with two side-yards. I installed vinca minor in my two front sideyards. It took about two years for it to really flourish. With mulching (red-dyed wood chips of course) the weeding was kept down. For some reason an hour of weeding sure beats 20-minutes of mowing. Just last year in a spurt of environmental consciousness I bought a manual reel mower. The reel mower is so quiet and easy to push and carry around. No gas, no oil, no partially combusted hydrocarbons. If I knew about reel mowers a few years ago, I probably would have kept all of my lawn and never have gotten into gardening. |

Saypoint: Thank you, I ordered the book. Don't know why it didn't come up when I was googleing for info. Isabella: Do you have any pictures you could share? It sounds like you are now where I want to be. You put my mowing vs. weed pulling sentiments well. I grew up with those reel mowers. They are nice. But the mower is my husband's responisbilty, so he gets to pick the mower. This whole thing is a process of making his load less, and me not having to mow. ; ) |
- Posted by brent_in_nova z7/6 VA (My Page) on Fri, Apr 27, 07 at 11:00
The "Taunton Front Yard Idea Book" is also a good book on the topic. I got a more practical ideas out of that one than the Liz Primeau one, but they are both worth reading. Over the next few years I plan on reducing the amount of lawn in my front yard. One thing that helps in my case is a medium sized maple in my front yard. In some ways the maple limits what I can do, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. The maple also provides some context for the rest of the yard. In your case you have basically a clean slate to work with. The books might give you some ideas to work from. Look at the front yard gardens that you like and pay attention to what elements are in place to provide structure or definition to the garden. - Brent |

I have no pictures for you, but I grew up next door to a house that had a half acre no grass front yard. The owners, when they were getting on in years had a landscaper come and put in periwinkle, ivy, pachysandra, and some low maintenance shrubs. They had a lot of shade in their yard. It took a few years to get really filled in, but they lived there until they were in their nineties and said it was the best thing they'd ever done. Once established, they really didn't maintain the front yard at all. And then we had the joy of watching the next owners trying to get all that pachysandra out. :) |
- Posted by isabella__ma z5_MA (My Page) on Fri, Apr 27, 07 at 18:12
Next to grass, vinca minor is probably the next most derided planting, but I like its very simple nature and habit. It is a great living mulch for other shrubs that don't have surficial rootings and a great overplanting for hyacinths, which I have blooming now. This picture is in late fall. Hope this helps with your decision. |

By LARRY VAUGHT
LEXINGTON — Ryan Harrow says he doesn't even think about Kentucky not making the NCAA Tournament and is not about to start thinking about it. Well, maybe he better because after UK's 83-71 loss here Saturday to underdog Texas A&M, coach John Calipari at least hinted that the Wildcats better understand making the NCAA Tournament one year after the Cats won the national championship is not a given.
Calipari stressed that UK lacked the "will to win" because it didn't have the discipline required to make defensive stops after taking a 62-58 lead with 5 minutes, 51 seconds to play after Nerlens Noel created two straight turnovers that the Cats turned into points to take the lead. But Texas A&M made its last 10 shots — UK made only two of its last 10 — to stun the Cats.
"I am just hope we are winning enough games as we learn how to do this," said Calipari.
Who would have ever thought that when the season opened? Kentucky had the No. 1 recruiting class and was ranked in the preseason top five (a spot Calipari warned was way too high). Growing pains were expected, but not that UK would be 10-5 and have only one quality win against Maryland.
Could Kentucky miss the NCAA? Absolutely, and Calipari knows it even if his players don't.
"I think we will be fine, but no, you have got to win games. For us going forward, each game we play we just have got to worry about being the best team in the gym. We don't need to worry about anybody else. Just be the best team in the gym and do what we are suppowed to be doing," Calipari said. "As a coach, this one is done. We have another game Tuesday (against Tennessee).
"I think we showed fight. I think we showed fire. We are getting tougher. We shot 77 percent from the free throw line. But a lot of good is taken away with four minutes to go when we take chances on defense, start fouling and on offense you're trying to make too hard a play. That takes away all of your effort for 30-some minutes."
The game's best player was Texas A&M's Elston Turner. The guard came into the game averaging 15.5 points per game. He had 25 in the first half and finished with 40 in 37 minutes of flawless play. He hit shots that UK couldn't defend as he was 14-for-19 from the field.
But here's the disturbing part.
"He shot the ball well and he got good looks," winning coach Billy Kennedy said. "He got opportunities to score. Kentucky is young and you can see it and fortunately we were able to take advantage."
Did they ever as Turner just kept shooting and scoring.
Calipari opened the game with Alex Poythress guarding him, a move Calipari said his staff talked him into making and was a mistake.
"I didn't want to do it and it was my decision," Calipari said. "It was a mistake. Because from that point on, he was getting 50 (points). Stupid on my part to do that.
"He's not ready to guard a kid like that. He's just not. Doesn't have the intensity. You've got to have an unbelievable fight in you to guard a guy like that to have pride that you're not going to do this to me. And he may have done it any way to be honest. It may not have mattered who guarded him. But when you start that way, making every shot … now you're feeling pretty good."
It was better than good. Texas A&M players danced off the court like youngsters getting from opening presents from Santa Claus on Christmas Day.
Still, as good as Turner was — he called it "by far the best performance I've ever had" — the Cats overcame a 40-31 deficit early in the second half to take the 62-58 lead. That's when two huge weaknesses on this team became obvious.
First, UK does not have a shutdown defender, especially late in the game, like it had with DeAndre Liggins two years ago or Michael Kidd-Gilchirst last year. Second, UK does not have a go-to scorer like John Wall, Brandon Knight or one of several players last year in clutch situations. That's a fatal combination in close games.
Texas A&M went on a 16-1 run after UK took the 62-58 lead. Maryland, Duke, Morehead and Vanderbilt have had similar big runs — something that never happened last season.
"When teams go on runs, there's a difference between a veteran team going on a run as opposed to a younger team going on runs," Turner said.
Translation: A veteran team knows it must stop the run quickly with smart decisions and execution.
Calipari said he talked to his team Friday about "gut time, stop the run, stop the bleeding." It apparently was a message not heard very well.
"They were listening to what I was saying, but I don't think they heard me," Calipari said.
They better start hearing. Texas A&M is not Duke. It's not Louisville. The Aggies lost 70-49 to St. Louis. They lost 53-51 to Southern. They have eight scholarship players and used a walk-on (Jarod Johns) for 30 minutes Saturday.
Calipari said there's only one thing for his players to do if they want to become better.
"Accept what you did," Calipari said.
He said if the players do that and then come together, he still "likes my team" and what it can do.
"What happens as our team doesn't do well, each individual players starts, like you start questioning each guy," the coach said. "That's what happens. Fans, media and everybody else. And that's why thy need to come together, to stay together, to keep working through it."
He's right about the questions. There's a slew of them about this team.
And maybe, just maybe, way too much was expected of this team.
"I don't think so. Or at least I don't want to believe that," Harrow said.

The Cobb County Tax assessment notices were mailed on Friday, April 20 with an appeal deadline of June 4, 2012. My first phone calls were from commercial property owners that had large increases in assessed values. I was told by the County that the values are based on a new revaluation by the Cobb County tax assessment office. They said that they haven't had a revaluation since 2008 because the Georgia General Assembly placed a three year moratorium on assessment increases.

Gwinnett County tax assessment notices apparently went out without a hitch this year as I have seen nothing on their website or in the media to indicate otherwise. All of the residential and commercial Gwinnett County tax assessment notices were to be sent on April 6 and based on all of the Gwinnett County tax assessment notices that I have received, that is the date they went out. The deadline to appeal tax assessments in Georgia is now uniformly 45 days after the tax assessment notice date, State-wide. That makes the deadline to appeal Gwinnett County tax assessment notices May 21, 2012.
