There are a lot of ways to start seeds. Some use multi cell packs and one or two seeds per cell. Some use small paper cups and one to 3 seeds per cup. Many use a bulk starting method with a larger pot and transplant sprouts. I will use a 4 X 4 pot and place 9 seeds evenly spaced and transplant sprouts. I take a split fruit and squeeze the contents into a 6" pot and cover with soil. It takes longer to sprout, but it gets the healthiest sprouts. I don't even consider using wet paper towels in ziplocs. There must be other methods. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Here is the bulk method. |
Or you can take the cell packs and in 1 six pack start 10 plants in each cell for a total of 60 plants of the same variety. Or you can do 10 plants each of 6 different varieties but then you have to contend with different germination times so at least stick with one type plant. Or take a 4" pot and start 30 or more plants of the same variety in each pot. Standard greenhouse germination when growing large numbers of unusual varieties for sale is to use the 2" sq. 4 cell packs and to germinate 25-30 of each variety in each cell. Then there are the Plug trays that let you germinate up to 500+ plants at one time. But that's more than the average home gardener needs. :) Dave |

I am a first timer and I respect that different methods work for different people. I tried half of my daylily seeds in cells (1 per) and the other half in solo cups 20 oz. The solo sup seedlings are twice the size as the cell packs. germination rate was pretty much the same however. Good discussion! |

Long sleeve cotton mini check button front shirt.
Material: 100% Cotton
Brand: Mason's
Origin: Italy
Despite its distinctly Anglo name, Mason's is a classic Italian clothing brand with a global heritage. Inspired by the durable garments once worn by the Colombian Liberation Army — first noticed by Mason's leadership during a trip to South America in 1974 — Mason's designs military-style activewear that's specially treated to look aged and worn. Pants are Mason's calling card: From cotton cargo styles and gabardine chinos for men to corduroy, linen, and velvet trousers for women, every pair features a tiny amount of stretchy Elastane to guarantee a perfect fit. Wool Navy-style jackets, cotton shirts embellished with shoulder patches, and camouflage-print scarves reiterate Mason's military aesthetic and give each garment a timeless, edgy quality.

I got a new machine for work and was already using Ubuntu before that with a chain loader setup to load Windows 7 on another disk. My employer likes that cause he can just rip out the ubuntu disk and no trace is left of it.
My most recent problem is that he wanted to limit the reboots from Windows to Ubuntu so he asked me to setup myself as a VMWare VM. I used the second physical disk to install all my stuff directly on the disk and it was working quite well, just as it was before on my old machine.
I decided this morning to boot directly into Ubuntu and try it out outside of the VM cause the VM made my ubuntu kinda slow to work with. But since i rebooted in Ubuntu, compared to my last machine, network access is horribly slow. It can be a windows share, the internet in general, it takes a lot of time to resolve names, about 10s and if i want to browse a server share (where all our projects are located for instance) i can take up to 2-3 minute to get a listing of the files on the main share (Contains all our client's folders, around 500 folders)
Needless to say this is really not productive :)
It doesn't seem to happen when i'm in the VM in bridged networking but here in standalone mode, same machine, same hard disk, same OS, just not virtualized, everything seems more slugish in terms of internet...
Can anyone help out?

Keyword research is vital to the ultimate success of your legal website and your legal SEO campaign. If you target the wrong keywords, not only will your potential clients not find you, but you will have lost valuable dollars and be stuck with meaningless rankings. Rather than throwing away the time, energy and financial resources you have poured into your law firm's website, let Lawyer Success, Inc. show you how to stay competitive and increase your client base. While many of us may believe we fully understand the whole keyword-choosing process, the fact is that most of us are probably not as knowledgeable about which term clients will use to find legal websites as we think. Although you may be fully cognizant of how you would find your own legal site, predicting how a paying client will go about looking for it is an entirely different matter, and research is critical. Lawyer Success, Inc. provides that critical keyword research, and ensures you are not looking at your website through too narrow a lens.
Content Writing Once you have determined the best keywords to use in your website, you must go over your content with a fine tooth comb. Does the content convey both the information and tone that you envision for your website? Is it professional, yet accessible? Have you covered all the topics you intended, while keeping them short enough to avoid your reader losing interest? Your keywords must appear in a natural manner throughout your copy. Generally speaking, three or four related keywords per page is a good balance, unless you can work five per page in and still have them properly balanced. The content on your legal website is absolutely critical to the ultimate success or failure, and while the keywords are essential, the copy should not sound contrived or gimmick-y.
Domain Selection Choosing a domain name is a very important part of building your website. In the world of domain names, shorter is generally better. Shorter names are easier to remember than longer names or phrases, and your law firm's domain name should be something that would make you click on it for further information. Your main keywords should be included in your domain name if possible, as this will result in higher search engine rankings. Using .com in your domain name is generally better as when people don't remember what it is, this is the first one they will try. Other than .com, .org and .net, other extensions appear to have less weight with the major search engines. Even if you are not completely ready to launch your website, it is good to go ahead and put up a "parking page" with keywords and some inbound links—aged domains appear to have more legitimacy to search engines.
Keyword List Building During the humble beginnings of SEO, if you wanted to measure the popularity of your keywords you simply typed them into the various search engines and either marveled or pulled your hair in despair at the number of results you turned up. This method of measuring your success turned out to be both tedious and ineffective. We now have sophisticated keyword research tools that will tell you instantly how many users are conducting searches for any given term every day. These research tools can also alert you to words you might not have thought of, or particular synonyms you were unaware of. Remember that you are not only seeing who's searching for your website's keywords, but also determining how competitive your chosen phrases are in terms of ranking. We will show you how we can build your initial list of words and test their activity, then narrow the field and determine which words and phrases will make it into your final keyword list.
Pay Per Click Some people fear that pay per click and other paid advertising avenues might drive up advertising costs, failing to build your critical client base in the process. Although in the past, search engines did not have the necessary tools to track users and log clicks, Google now has a sophisticated system which logs each person's computer IP address, search queries, time, dates and frequency of clicks to your ads. Google will only charge you, the advertiser, once per day, per ad. If it notices the same computer's IP address hitting your ad day after day or with excessive frequency, it will block that user's future clicks and refund monies paid by your legal firm.
Search Engine Optimization Remember, your clients most likely don't work in the same profession you do—if they did, they probably wouldn't be online searching for an attorney in the first place. When considering keywords for your site, try to distance yourself from typical "lawyer-speak". Your clients aren't searching the same way you would; we at Lawyer Success, Inc. have over a decade of solid history and experience and will make absolutely sure the keywords chosen for your law firm will bring you high rankings and lots of traffic.
At Lawyer Success, Inc., we have spent many, many years studying and researching the effect that domain selection, content, keywords and paid advertising have on the success of legal websites. We are experts in keyword research and would welcome the opportunity to provide you with a free, no-obligation consultation, free of sales pressure. Call us now at (769)218-6099 to schedule an appointment with an experienced professional.

Waffle's Cafe
Posted on | March 7, 2010 | No Comments
While I've always been more of a pancake person, a good waffle can be pretty special too. One of our wedding gifts was a waffle maker, which we've used many, many times (thanks again, Mike & Maria!), and Adam has gotten quite adept at making the perfect waffle. We like ours nice and crispy on the outside, yet still soft and doughy in the middle. And hot. The waffles HAVE to be hot.
Anyway, about the Waffle Cafe. There's another location on the other side of town, but one recently opened up in the NW area. The restaurant is a casual, order at the counter place. It isn't very large, and the menu consists of, well, waffles. All different kinds, with all different toppings, used as a sandwich, served with multiple different items (chicken and waffles coming soon!), etc.
We went simple. I ordered the oat waffles (a single order) with mango, and Adam the regular waffles with blueberries. No whipped cream for either of us, thank you very much. I was a bit surprised that the fruit toppings were just chopped fresh fruit, and not a compote. Although sometimes fruit compotes can be overly syrupy sweet, I found the chopped fruit, while healthier, to be a bit plain.
The waffles were good, but not really any better than what we can make at home for a fraction of the cost, and not as crisp, although you can probably request them to cook it a bit longer.
I think the concept is cute, and we'll see how it does in our area. With a lack of breakfast spots, I'm betting they'll do okay.

New Living Translation (NLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
22 Now tell us -- is it right to pay taxes to the Roman government or not?" | 22 Is it right for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?" |
23 He saw through their trickery and said, | 23 He saw through their duplicity and said to them, |
24 "Show me a Roman coin. Whose picture and title are stamped on it?" "Caesar's," they replied. | 24 "Show me a denarius. Whose portrait and inscription are on it?" |
25 "Well then," he said, "give to Caesar what belongs to him. But everything that belongs to God must be given to God." | 25 "Caesar's," they replied. He said to them, "Then give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's." |
26 So they failed to trap him in the presence of the people. Instead, they were amazed by his answer, and they were silenced. | 26 They were unable to trap him in what he had said there in public. And astonished by his answer, they became silent. |
27 Then some Sadducees stepped forward -- a group of Jews who say there is no resurrection after death. | 27 Some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus with a question. |
28 They posed this question: "Teacher, Moses gave us a law that if a man dies, leaving a wife but no children, his brother should marry the widow and have a child who will be the brother's heir. | 28 "Teacher," they said, "Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man must marry the widow and have children for his brother. |
29 Well, there were seven brothers. The oldest married and then died without children. | 29 Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a woman and died childless. |
30 His brother married the widow, but he also died. Still no children. | 30 The second |
31 And so it went, one after the other, until each of the seven had married her and died, leaving no children. | 31 and then the third married her, and in the same way the seven died, leaving no children. |
32 Finally, the woman died, too. | 32 Finally, the woman died too. |

Waiting on the delivery of Dream Weaver and Niagra Falls this week.
Any tips, suggestions, photos? Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
mbug-Ican't help you with pics, but am waiting for follow-ups from others to your post. It is almost ironic that just yesterday, B4 seeing this post, I had bought 3 hostas: Dream Weaver and Niagara Falls, along with Empress Wu. I think it was Herman Wouk, in his novel about the crew of an Australian nuclear submarine underwater since a world-wide allout nuclear war seemed to have wiped out civilization, spoke of a sign of life in San Francisco in the form of a morse-code message. He wrote something to the effect "if you give "n" number of chimps each a typewriter, given enough time one will type a Shakespeare novel". So when it comes to both of us buying Niagara falls and Dream Weaver on virtuallly the same day, I will accept the role of the chimpanzee. Tell you what! I am really impressed with Niagara Falls piecrust margins. Really nice. But my experience (all without success) with Great Expectations and Dream Queen makes me wonder if this little bluegill (me) just got suckered into biting another hook by someone dangling Dream Weaver, another of the GE clan, in front of my face. I also picked up Summer Breeze, with an interesting all yellow hanger-on, and Abiqua Drinking Gourd within the last 4 weeks. Weeded 80% of my garden under the walnut yesterday too. Don't you just LOVE growing hosta! Les |
Les...Amazing how quickly it can become a passion. I retired last June and it has given me a great deal of satisfaction to try to create something that is so pleasing to look at. So far I've tried to buy big....I guess I need to still develop patience. I'm in NJ and am finding it difficult to find the more interesting plants. Thanks for your comments. |
You did pick very good hostas. My H.'Dream Weaver' is a slow grower, after planting it in 2009 it has now 2 eyes, and the leaves are beautiful. The lookalikes H.'Dream Queen' and 'Thunderbolt' are growing faster and are also beautiful. My H. Niagara Falls' also was probably very young when planted in 2010 and has a single eye, but large leaves. Bernd |
I have been surprised how slowly Niagra Falls has grown for me... I've had it for four years, and it has 2 eyes. It's in my nicest bed, nicest dirt.. only morning sun. Maybe it needs more sun? It's a beautiful hosta, just wish it would get a crackin and grow up! |
- Posted by moccasinlanding z9A AL (My Page) on Wed, Jun 13, 12 at 10:47
HostaLes, it was Neville Shute's book, ON THE BEACH. And, it was I think Gregory Peck and Ava Gardner who starred in the apocalyptic movie version. |
These are a couple of my long-time favorites. I think maybe Dream Queen does better than Dream Weaver, but I love both. And NF should be in everyone's garden. Steve |
evermore...two great looking plants! |
ML-I just KNEW Wouk didn't feel right (you have it right). I'd racked my brain trying to remember "On The Beach" but my brain remained submerged 30 fathoms deep; not even up to periscope depth. Loved the book, and even enjoyed the movie when I normally prefer book versions over glitzy screenplays. Steve-while it is a "green banana" Niagara Falls is a beautiful hosta for a greenie, and as usual your photo sets a standard for . My nursery plant looks good even now and has multiple eyes. Now I can have a race between Queen of the Seas and Niagara Falls. I just wish either would take a hint from Blue Angel about growing up. I ran out of daylight weeding my garden yesterday and didn't get pics of my new plants. But I will be making a trip home today so by tonight should be able to post my new babys. I'll be moving home Friday with mobility in my knee to almost 120 degrees bend. Like Farragut said down near where ML lives, "damned the torpedos--full speed ahead!" And if I am lucky I don't have that quote accredited to the wrong Admiral. One of the first things I am going to do is dig up my Dream Queen and try to save her in a pot for a while. All you pot-headed hostaholics out there; I might be calling for your help on a different post. Les |
I think both of these plants need a half day of sun. Dream Weaver is a monster in my sisters garden in the pacific northwest. It is grown against the house facing east. It keeps blue right until it dies back for winter. Niagara Falls has similar exposure in my garden and has steadly grown to be huge. Last year the leaves measured 16.5 by 11. It is listed as 14 x 10 so it must like where it is. My zone is 4/5 in the interior of BC. Below are pictures of both plants. |
mctavish....Holy Cow!! I'm speechless! |
My Niagara Falls is on the right hand side of the pic. Another awesome Split Personality seedling!! Dave |
After all these beautiful hostas posted here, do I dare post my yesterday purchases. Of course, in hopes they will some day shine so brightly. Both are multi-eyed young-uns. I have great expectations, or at least great hopes. Les |
Nice additions Les...did you order on line? Expect mine by Friday....hope they are as nice. |
- Posted by moccasinlanding z9A AL (My Page) on Tue, Oct 9, 12 at 14:34
Just noticed your Niagara Falls, Les. I got a tiny one in my last round of orders in September. It is in a large pot, but sharing it with Aqua Velva (a fragrant-flowered) for the winter. Next year I expect to try some of the fragrant ones in the ground. Les, your NF is very mature looking. Did it get cut off a mature clump? I like going that route whenever I can. |
moc; I'd bought both DW and NF at a local nursery in Joliet and my guess is they were both field grown before hitting the sale table. It does, by the pie-crusting, look pretty mature. I'll be able to tell more in the spring. I had repotted both in larger pots back in June and they have done well over the summer. We will be cold-framing them over winter. The wind blew down the makeshift steel structure I was hoping to convert to a greenhouse so I removed all the damaged panels and saved the roof frame. I now have it sitting 24" above grade on 3 tiers of concrete block walls. The "ROOF" is two tempered glass panels from scraped patio tables. That will be our "cold-Frame". I've given Theresa the responsibility of the potted hostas that will be going into it. She needs something to do, since the gardens are mine! LOL Looking at the success that you, babka and bkay have with your potted hostas it seems like a good decision! I've noticed that a lot of Myrle's are potted also. I like the odds! Les |
- Posted by moccasinlanding z9A AL (My Page) on Wed, Oct 10, 12 at 11:22
Les, sounds like a plan to me. Reusing glass panels....hmmmm, well, I will have a couple of them before long. Only no really cold winter months, but the vertical use of a 1/2 inch thick 6 foot long 20 inch wide sheet of glass, guess I could find a way to use it, maybe. It is covering my desk at the moment, and I have visions of two separate desks each 5 feet long and 24 inches wide. One for me, one for DH. We share the study. As for the container success, I also like to raise the pots up and feature one plant higher than the rest, maybe one which can take more sun, and then it can shade the ones at its base. The foundation doesn't have to be pretty if it is surrounded by other leafed-out hosta. It helps squeeze in MORE plants where you thought you could not have them. You can also allow the garden to ebb and flow, moving things around as they wax and wane, feature a hosta that is really showing off nicely, and moving the problem child into the TLC area. I'm very pleased with container gardening. It sure gives me a lot of exercise and that's a good thing. My Niagara Falls is so small, it is sharing a large pot with Aqua Velva. Next year, I'm hoping it shows its nature. I would love to feature it like I have Krossa Regal. I think that is another hosta you have which I admired, Les, and scooped it up when I saw that WadeGatton had it. Field grown, and ready to grow. |

Niagara Falls was 4 feet tall and over 5 feet wide in four years - sorry I don't know how to do pics. I ordered Bridal Falls this spring which has Niagara Falls parentage -same deeply veined leaves on upright vase shaped plant, perhaps a bit smaller but with a wide white edge. Can't wait to see this mature - Hard to find, I think I ordered it from Naylor Creek. -I'll work on the pics. |

LOVELY looking Niagara Falls, North53. Just a question.....is your screen name an indicator of the LATITUDE at which you live? Oh boy, that's a far piece from us at North 30.5......... |
Yes, North of the 53rd parallel. |
- Posted by hostahillbilly Zone 4 (My Page) on Thu, Oct 11, 12 at 21:05
Dream Weaver here slow but steady. No where near as slow as Thunderbolt, though. NF fast here, even i heavy shade. fwiw, hh |
I planted a smaller size 'Niagara Falls' 2 years ago, is still only one eye, but could leap next year. I am really looking forward to that. This year I also planted H.'War Paint' which is a sport of NF. Independent of that I have 2 well growing 'War Paint' seedlings, which will probably stay green, might become NF then. Bernd |

Today's post is just to thank all my avid readers for voting Dr. Sharma's Obesity Notes the 2nd Best Canadian Health Blog.
The competition was stiff. The well-deserved winner was Yoni Freedhoff's Weighty Matters – truly my favorite nutrition blog of all time. The competition was extremely close with Marijke: Nurse turned writer, who received only 6 votes less than I did. Kudos also to runners up Salted Lithium and Ottawa Street Dental, who came in #4 and #5, respectively.
Thanks to all who voted (no matter for whom) – simply knowing my readers care (enough to bother to vote) is all I need to keep me going.
Edmonton, Alberta

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

How will Germany vote? What about Japan? Ynet maps out global interests
ahead of Palestinian UN bid
Ronen Medzini
Published: 08.27.11, 18:42 / Israel News
On September 20th, the Palestinian Authority will submit its statehood bid
at the United Nations General Assembly; the process will culminate with
the UN's 193 member states voting on recognizing a Palestinian state. What
can we expect at the vote?
Officials in Jerusalem presume that should a vote indeed take place, the
Palestinians will win an automatic majority thanks to the guaranteed
support of the 116 "non aligned" states," which tend to vote as a bloc and
promote joint interests. Hence, Foreign Ministry officials are focusing
their efforts at what they refer to as the "moral majority," that is,
large, influential states - this list includes the 27 members of the
European Union, global powers, and several other key states.
The failure of such states to endorse a unilateral Palestinian move would
make the UN decision illegitimate, Israeli officials believe. For the time
being, mostly because the Palestinians have not yet publicized their draft
bid, European states have largely refrained from openly voicing their
positions. Officials in Brussels are aiming to create a united front of EU
states that would abstain in the vote, yet at this time it appears that
Europe's votes will be split.
The general debate on the Palestinian bid will take place at the UN
General Assembly between September 21st and the 30th, and will constitute
the final stretch of Israel's and the Palestinians' persuasion efforts.
The speakers expected to deliver speeches at the UN include US President
Barack Obama, Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas and an Israeli
representative whose identity has yet to be determined.
While in Israel the notion of "September" is seen as one of the most
significant diplomatic issues of recent years, in Europe and elsewhere
this is a rather marginal item on the diplomatic agenda. With EU economies
on the verge of collapse, the US contending with its lowered credit
rating, and NATO preparing for dramatic changes in the wake of Gaddafi's
fall, most "moral majority" states have other priorities at this time.
Foreign Ministry officials estimate that domestic affairs are pushing
aside foreign policy issues, a trend that may boost the influence of world
powers, with an emphasis on Germany - which is seen as the stabilizing
factor in face of the economic crisis. Notably, Berlin already announced
that it will object to unilateral steps.
Meanwhile, President Obama already urged the Palestinians to avoid
unilateral moves; indeed, America will not be endorsing Palestine, it
appears. On the other hand, Russia is expected to endorse any Palestinian
bid. In Asia, both China and India are expected to endorse Palestine,
while Japan is still debating. Israeli officials are hopeful that Japanese
democracy and Tokyo's close ties with the US will tilt the balance in
Jerusalem's favor; the Foreign Ministry is also counting on Israel's
assistance to Japan in the wake of the tsunami disaster.
Some states still on the fence
Aside from Germany, the major players in Europe are France, Britain, Spain
and Italy - which will have a great effect on the position of other
countries. Israeli officials do not have high expectations of Spain, which
they assume will support the Palestinian bid unless EU countries agree on
a unified front.
However, Italian Prime Minster Silvio Berlusconi announced he plans to
reject any unilateral moves. Holland, the Czech Republic, the Baltic
States and most of the eastern European countries have conveyed similar
messages behind closed doors.
Meanwhile, Britain and France are a different story; both declared they
will make up their mind only after carefully reviewing the final
Palestinian draft.
"Britain's policy is quite clear: It embraces Israel within the 1967
borders, but condemns it outside those borders," a Jerusalem official
As for France - which only recently urged Israel and the PA to renew the
peace talks - it has hinted that it will endorse Palestine if the
diplomatic freeze continues. However, at this time Paris' vote at the end
of the day is still up in the air.
Ireland, the first EU country to upgrade the Palestinian delegation to
the rank of embassy, is one of the main advocates of a Palestinian state,
joined by Belgium and the Scandinavian countries - except for Denmark
which is still undecided.
Greece and Cyprus, which have warmed up to Israel recently, are still on
the fence as well. This is mostly due to the fact that both had previously
endorsed a Palestinian state - after former Palestinian Authority Chairman
Yasser Arafat declared independence in 1998 - making it hard for them to
At this time, the Foreign Ministry is undertaking its final efforts before
the UN vote. Israel's diplomats and missions have been trying to mobilize
their best connections and activate their 'diplomatic target banks.'
"We have leverage vis-`a-vis every country: Our friends in the
parliaments, the Jewish community, public opinion leaders, the media,
NGOs, the church, donors. It's time to play the cards we accumulated," an
Israeli diplomat said.
In addition, a work plan has been formulated for each and every country
and designated messages have been drafted as well.
For example, the following message was tailored for Norway, a country
associated with the Oslo peace process and most likely to vote in favor of
the PA statehood bid: "In Oslo we agreed on an outline for a permanent
agreement, and the peace process is named after you. If you support the
Palestinians and ditch the outline, it may indicate that Norway has lost
it's special status in the peace process."

Investigative journalists and their fans gathered at the New York Public Library's flagship 42nd Street branch on Tuesday night to honor journalism, books, and the marriage of the two. The occasion was the annual Helen Bernstein Book Award for Excellence in Journalism, awarded to Ellen Schultz for her 2011 book Retirement Heist: How Companies Plunder and Profit from the Nest Eggs of American Workers. The work is an investigation into the ways that large corporations and insurance companies use loopholes and accounting tricks to empty funds meant to pay for employee retirements.
"We look for a book that's on a subject of real consequence, that is fresh and innovative and that has information you're not going to get elsewhere, and is the result of really enterprising work by the reporter," explains James Hoge, Jr., chairman of the board at Human Rights Watch and head of the selection committee that chose the winning book. "What's happening to retirees in America is a big subject of great public interest, and there's no book quite like this one."
Before the winner was announced, journalist and author Lynn Sherr delivered opening remarks harshly critical of the current state of journalism. "Our job," she reminded the audience, "is not to tell the public what they say they want to hear." Schultz, who received $15,000 in addition to the award, sounded a similar note in her short acceptance speech, recalling what Rupert Murdoch told his reporters after buying The Wall Street Journal, where she once worked: "Our mission is to entertain, enrich, and inform—in that order."
Now in its 25th year, the award is funded through a $1 million gift from the Bernstein family to the NYPL. In addition to the book award, the gift helps endow the Library's librarian for periodicals and journals.
The award now honors only book-length journalism published in the past year, but this was not always the case.
The first recipient, in 1987, was James Reston, for his lifetime contribution to journalism, and the second was Judy Woodruff, for a series of television broadcasts on Frontline about Iran-Contra. "After that," explains James Bernstein, son of award namesake Helen Bernstein Fealy, "the President of the Public Library at the time, Timothy Healy, said, 'Well, we're a library. A library has books. Let's restrict the winner just to someone who's written a book.' And so they added the word 'book' to the name of the award." Since then, winners have included Thomas Friedman, David Remnick, Joe Nocera, Jane Mayer, and Nicholas Lemann.
The NYPL, though, may not always be known for books. It recently announced a controversial plan to move many of its research stacks into off-site storage in New Jersey and use the space for a lending library and computers for ebooks. Perhaps trying to head off criticism, NYPL President Anthony Marx gave a forceful speech after Sherr's remarks, insisting that he wanted "great writers and journalists to find the facts" at the library, which still has "the most democratic access of any great research library in the world."
But what of book-length and investigative journalism itself? With newspapers cutting investigative units, could there someday be no book-length journalism around for the Helen Bernstein Book Award to honor? Everyone at the ceremony seemed optimistic about the prospects for investigative journalism, but unsure about how to pay for it.
"I'm hopeful, I'm always hopeful," Sherr says. "With people like the people nominated for these awards … clearly there are terrific people out there, and I love that." But she also did not know how they would be paid. "Without money to pay the salary of someone who needs six weeks, six months, maybe six years to find something out," she asks, "how are we going to get these stories?"
Schultz believes that "there is a growing lack of is journalism focused on corporate malfeasance," largely because this kind of journalism needs the legal resources of large institutions to protect its practitioners from retaliation by the corporations they cover. Individual freelance reporters, she worries, "are just too vulnerable."
The best perspective may have come from Agnes Ash, the one-time editor for and longtime friend of Helen Bernstein Fealy. "When I started working 60 years ago," Ash remembers, "everyone said, 'Don't go into journalism. Television is going to kill [print] journalism.'" Her subsequent print career spanned decades.

I am acting as my own contractor. I want to figure out in what order I should plan the various parts of my job. Architect then permit, remove vegetation, hire foundation person, order bricks for piers, hire framer, electrician and so forth. If anyone has a suggestion or a book to recommend, I would appreciate their input. Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
There are several books about Home Owner General Contracting. Home Time (TV show) did an entire series of shows detailing the process of being your own contractor. You need to find the subs you want early in the process---during the planning if possible. Be aware some contractors will try and get by with less than agreed on work, simply because a home owner is a one time customer and usually has very l;ittle idea of preferred or proper mateiral and methoids of construction. A lot of people have attempted being their own GC, and found hiring a reliable one is a much better idea. First, contact the local codes office to see if your plan is within codes. A drawing (hand made) of the lot, house footprint, and new addition footprint should suffice for the initialdetrermination. No point in hiring an architedt if the addition is not within codes. Basic process: Plans. Framing: flooring support and sub floor. Walls and roof framing. Roofing can be installed(any vents should be installed in the roof during framing---not added later. Exterior sheathing installed. Windows and doors installed. Any reconfiguration of exterior walls that are now interior walls done in this section. Electrician does rough in. Any HVAC work done. Plumbing rough in done. Insulation/drywall installed. Exterior siding/painting done. Painting/paneling/interior wall/ceiling treatments. Finish electrical and trim carpentry. |
Thanks so much for the suggestions. I appreciate them very much. |
You are quite welcome. I hope they help. |

Argentina's tax agency has accused a Monsanto contractor of what it calls slave-like conditions among workers in its cornfields.
The Federal Administration of Public Revenues (AFIP) says Rural Power SA hired all its farmhands illegally, restricted them from leaving the building where they were housed, and withheld their salaries.
The 65 workers had to de-tassel corn 14 hours a day and buy their food at inflated prices from the company store.

Forever 21 Dress, Shoes bought in Texas 2 years ago.
So I was contemplating whether to tell you guys so soon but I HAVE TO.
Well, because I want nothing more right now than to blog about it the whole way.
So guess what?????????????
Yes, after 3 years of trying with Jesse we finally conceived last month. We are
extremely happy and blessed. We are 7 weeks long right now, and boy is this baby
taking ALL of my energy. All I want to do right now is sleep,sleep,sleep. Which is
why I have been blogging less often. I'm just not in the mood do put any thought into
my outfits. The good news is that I will be blogging about ways to dress chic and
sophisticated while pregnant. Just because I have a bun in my oven does not mean
I'm going to reach for my mommy jeans in the back of my closet. Oh no I won't.
So anyway I might just start a baby blog, who knows.
But WOW, Jesse and I are so happy. I'm 23 and ready to be a Mom, this is the right
age for me. I thank God for giving me this baby and a man who's there for me
through everything, even when I'm being a meanie butt to him

Baseball: Washington Twp. cruises past Hanover to reach PCC final
By Dave Melton Post-Tribune correspondent May 18, 2013 7:26PM
Washington Township's Tyler Byerly scores on a double by teammate Justin Landgrebe in the fifth inning during the PCC baseball tournament at Washington Township (Ind.) High School Saturday May 18, 2013. | Stephanie Dowell~Post-Tribune

VALPARAISO — From the first batter, Washington Township's offense was in full swing.
The Senators cranked out 18 hits, scoring 14 runs, defeating Hanover Central 14-3 in the second round of the PCC tournament. With the win, Washington Township became the final team to eliminate the GSSC-bound Wildcats from a PCC tournament.
"We were on the barrel for the whole day," said Washington head coach Randy Roberts. "We hit the ball hard against them the first time, but it was right at people. Today we were hitting the ball hard and we found some holes."
The hit parade started in top of the first inning. Leadoff man Tyler Byerly singled to start the game, one of his four hits on the day. Two batters later, Justin Landgrebe hit an opposite-field home run for an early 2-0 Washington lead.
Hanover starter Daniel Balich retired the first two batters in the second inning, but a walk to Byerly started another Senators rally. Bob Ross doubled Washington's lead with a two-run homer, then, three straight doubles from Landgrebe, Luke Lipiniski and Corey Holderread stretched the lead to 6-0. One run in each of the next three innings had Washington ahead 9-0 by the bottom of the fifth.
"We fell behind all day. They have a lineup where, if you don't hit your spots, they're going to make you pay," said Hanover head coach Doug Nelson. "You can't decide to start playing when you're down 9-0. If we had come out with that intensity from the first pitch, it may have been a different ball game."
Three hits in the fifth inning led to three runs for Hanover, but that was all the offense the Wildcats could muster against Landgrebe, who pitched all seven innings while allowing six hits and four walks with 10 strikeouts.
"My pitch today was my curve ball," said Landgrebe. "Hanover's a good hitting team. They've played some tough competition. I had to keep them off-speed."
Washington's offense wasn't done, either, with a three-run bomb from Lipinski capping the scoring after the Senators added five runs in the seventh.
Overall, the top four Washington hitters (Byerly, Ross, Landgrebe and Lipinski) combined to go 12 for 18 with two walks, three doubles, three home runs, 11 runs scored and 12 runs batted in.
"You couldn't really have a better day to hit and the whole team hit today," Landgrebe said.
Roberts added: "The guys at the bottom half of the order did what they needed, and that was a big key. If those three are getting on base, you're going to be hard to beat."
