Prepping for year two "This was a great experience for our team. It is great to be able to play fall ball scrimmages this year and move forward in our program. Today was the beginning of great things for Bulldog Lacrosse. We have a long way to go, but our coaching staff and team have high expectations and have set the bar high for us to compete at an extremely high level this year. As the day went on we did a much better job controlling the draw and were able to transition the ball more effectively. We scored some great goals and made some great defensive plays. I think today was a great learning experience and the team gained valuable experience, especially our 14 freshman that have never played in a series of collegiate scrimmages until today. Our staff is proud of the team and what we are building." Stay tuned to gobulldogs.com for more information on how the team is progressing during the fall.

Finally Back in Bulldog Stadium
Steve Schaack
Gearing Up For UC Davis Since the loss, Behme has shuffled the lineup and moved players into different positions in hopes of getting more production out of her team. "Having gone through three games I think we need to do that right now because they are continuing to grow," she said. "Everybody is going to see changes in where people are playing. Hopefully multiple things will come out of it." The first thing Behme wants to see is her team putting the ball in the back of the net more. Fresno State managed only one goal against Stanford and Canisius. The last two areas of emphasis the Bulldog coach wants to see from her team is controlling draws and playing stronger defense where they are not allowing high percentage shots to be taken. "We have very specific and measurable goals for every game," Behme said. "These goals are not based on winning and losing. The scores can be deceiving at times. When we played Cal and Stanford we saw big improvements in them raising their level of play. They attended to some of the details much better but we saw a dip in that against Canisius." The Bulldogs don't return to Bulldog Stadium until April 4 when they play host to Saint Mary's at 1 p.m. Since the Feb. 1 home opener, against Cal, coach Behme has expressed her appreciation to the fans and students who came out to support her team. Steve Schaack Feb. 9, 2008 "I would love to give a special thank you to all of the fans that came to support us. Our fans were amazing and I want them to know how much that meant to me and our program. Their energy, enthusiasm, and willingness to cheer us on whenever we did something positive was so impressive. I hope everyone comes to the rest of our games forever. I would love to see 1,000-1,500 people come out to our next game. As Bulldog Lacrosse fans, they could become one of the elite Division I fan bases in all of Division I women's lacrosse! The fans started to pave that path yesterday...I bet if you looked at the highest west coast lacrosse fan attendance over the past several years, our fans already are close to beating those attendance records! By being a part of making history with us yesterday, our fans have the ability to now do that consistently here in Fresno, the Central Valley, in California, and on the west coast. If our fans can continue to do this the word will continue to spread across the country on a national level in the lacrosse world...it is unbelievable! On one DAY, on one Saturday afternoon in February 2009, at the first ever women's lacrosse game at Fresno State and in the Central Valley, our Bulldog fans propelled women's lacrosse onto another level. Just like our team...they can see how much one DAY can change so much." Thank you, Steve Schaack Oct. 2, 2008 Women's lacrosse is a non-contact game played by 12 players: a goalkeeper, five attackers and six defenders. The object of the game is to shoot the ball into the opponent's goal. The team scoring the most goals wins. Women's lacrosse begins with a draw, which is taken by the center position. The ball is placed between two horizontally held crosses (sticks) at the center of the field. At the sound of the whistle, the ball is flung into the air as the crosses are pulled up and away. A draw is used to start each half and after each goal, and it takes place at the center of the field. The collegiate game is 60 minutes long, each half being 30 minutes. The high school girl's game is 50 minutes long, each half being 25 minutes. In both collegiate and high school play, teams are allowed two timeouts per game (including overtime). There are visual guidelines on the side of the field that are in place to provide a consistent indicator to the officials of what is considered the playing field. The minimum dimensions for a field is 120 yards by 70 yards. Additional markings on the field include a restraining line located 30 yards from each goal line, which creates an area where only a maximum of seven offensive players and eight defensive players (including the goalkeeper) are allowed; a 12-meter fan, which officials use to position players after fouls; and an arc in front of each goal, considered the critical scoring area, where defenders must be at least within a stick's-length of their attacker. The boundaries are determined by the natural restrictions of the field. An area of 120 yards by 70 yards is desirable. When a whistle blows, all players must stop in place. When a ball is ruled out of play, the player closest to the ball gets possession when play is resumed. Loss of possession may occur if a player deliberately runs or throws the ball out of play. Rough checks, and contact to the body with the crosse or body, are not allowed. Field players may pass, catch or run with the ball in their crosse. A player may gain possession of the ball by dislodging it from an opponent's crosse with a check. A check is a controlled tap with a crosse on an opponent's crosse in an attempt to knock the ball free. The player must be one step in front of her opponent in order to check. No player may reach across an opponent's body to check the handle of a crosse when she is even with or behind that opponent. A player may not protect the ball in her crosse by cradling so close to her body or face so as to make a legal, safe check impossible for the opponent. All legal checks must be directed away from a seven-inch sphere or ""bubble"" around the head of the player. No player is allowed to touch the ball with her hands except the goalkeeper when she is within the goal circle. A change of possession may occur if a player gains a distinct advantage by playing the ball off her body. Fouls are categorized as major or minor, and the penalty for fouls is a "free position." For major fouls, the offending player is placed four meters behind the player taking the free position. For a minor foul, the offending player is placed four meters off, in the direction from which she approached her opponent before committing the foul, and play is resumed. When a minor foul is committed in the critical scoring area, the player with the ball has an indirect free position, in which case the player must pass first. A slow whistle occurs when the offense has entered the critical scoring area and the defense has committed a major foul. A flag is thrown but no whistle is sounded so that the offense has an opportunity to score a goal. A whistle is blown when a goal is scored or the scoring opportunity is over. An immediate whistle is blown when a major foul, obstruction or shooting space occurs, which jeopardizes the safety of a player. Steve Schaack Sept. 18, 2008 It is time for some education. With women's lacrosse starting in February here at Fresno State many people in the Valley, including myself, are quickly studying up on the rules of the game. With the help of USlacrosse.org I thought I would begin a series of blogs called Lacrosse 101. Today we are going to start with the positions on the field.

I need to plant more shrubs. Have planted maybe 15 in the past two years. Some are good and some we lost (oak leaf Hydrangea). Now I need more. The kind that love neglect. You know the ones, plant them and forget them. Bridal Wreath, Hollies, Pittosporum, Crepe Myrtle, Indian Hawthorn, Nandina and Cestrum all do well here. Maybe that will give you a clue.
Small trees would be good. As we all know, plants are expensive and when they die you are sad for the plant and your pocket book. I am slowly learning to do research instead of saying "Hey, that"s pretty, I will take it." The area I am looking at now will get sun all day or sun all afternoon depending on how close to the house it is.I have about a 40' X 30' so lots of plants and lots of money. As always your ideas are appreciated. I want this thick with plants so fast growing is a good thing and some evergreen is good as well as tall. Thanks to all. N |

I don't know what you consider "fast" growing, but I love my Cassia trees that bloom so beautifully in the fall. They don't get that big and require little attention. |
You might get some ideas by looking around on this Texas Garden Blog call "Digging Austin". You'll find hundreds of photos of drought tolerant plants, lots of garden tours and all sorts of recommendations. She shows lots of wonderful agaves which I love. I've never been stuck by one, but as a precation I go around and cut the points off the end of the leaves just in case :-) Some of the short palms make a nice contrast with rounded shrubs and so do the perennial grasses and some of the grassy looking agaves. Keep clicking as there are many plants and gardens to look at. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Digging Austin -- Xeric plants ...
Mountain laurel would be nice, but it doesn't grow exceedingly fast. Texas Sage would work, but I don't know how fast they grow in the sun, mine was in part shade. |
You might look into carolina jessamine. It is actually classified as a vine, but left alone it makes a huge round clump with yellow flowers in the spring. A few of them will definitely fill in an area. Each one can get about 10 feet wide, so you have to space them accordingly. They can be trimmed if you want. If not trimmed, they may tip root. They will likely need some water the first year to get going, and they will drop some leaves if it is too dry (drought times), but overall they do pretty well. They are evergreen and are pretty leafy. For something not as leafy and huge, look into the yaupon hollies. They are grown all over the state, stay evergreen and provide red berries in winter that the mockingbirds love. They can be trimmed or left alone. They are more "twiggy" than leafy, so if you want something totally filled in this may not be the choice. The yaupons will get taller than the jessamines, but are more tree-like. Hope that helps.

What about rosemary? Not fussy, interesting foliage, smells great and little maintenance is its perfect world. There might even be some on sale now since they are sold at Christmas time cut into little tree shapes. Here in Arlington, I spotted mass plantings of what looks like Rosemary between highways near intersections near happy planting |

I've had great luck with altheas, pomegranate, beauty berry, vitex, forsythia, bridal wreath, spirea, rock rose, West TX yellowbells, yellow butterfly bush, hummingbird shrub, cordia and red Texas quince bushes/shrubs. All of them are flowering, some bloom all summer long. They do very well with minimal watering. Last summer I planted several others I didn't mention as I don't know how fast they grow. Stuart's Nursery in Weatherford is my go-to place for native shrubs and trees as they have a great selection and are much more affordable than the nurseries in the Fort Worth area. |
I think some of out Austin bloggers are retreating from Santa Fe chic and rediscovering the virtues of "tried and true." "No more pansy-[expletive] plants for me," one says. The shrub that has made the least demands on my time is Sandankwa viburnum. Unlike most taller shrubs, it does not require pruning to keep it from getting "leggy" at the bottom. It will grow fairly rapidly to 10 or 12 ft. I water mine only during extended dry spells, with a soaker hose. (You can't expect this from them before they get established, of course.) Mine are shaded from the morning sun. I have no idea how they would do in full sun. |

I have a deutzia (Godsall Pink) in a sunny part of my bed and it's done wonderfully. Blooms early in the spring, has an arching habit. I also like pomegranates, winter honeysuckle, banana shrub (Michelia figo). And of course no sunny spot is without a fig tree here. What is your soil like? Lin |

Welcome to the South Carolina Chapter of US Lacrosse!
Just fourteen years ago, at the turn of the century, the South Carolina Chapter of US Lacrosse was founded by four lacrosse enthusiasts whose desire was to give the kids in South Carolina the opportunity to enjoy the thrill of competing in the fastest growing sport in America. Hilton Head High School had just completed their first year of boys and girls lacrosse as the only high school lacrosse teams in the state, and Heathwood Hall Episcopal School, in Columbia, was forming a boys team to compete in 2000. Our Chapter, in 2000, formed the MBLC (Myrtle Beach Lacrosse Club) which later became the Socastee High School boys and girls lacrosse teams. Our Chapter established the SCLL (South Carolina lacrosse League) and crowned State Champions from 2002 through 2009. After considerable effort our foremost goal was achieved in 2008 when the SCHSL (South Carolina High School League) voted unanimously to SANCTION Lacrosse as an interscholastic sport beginning in 2010. As we enter the 2014 year we are proud of the fact that we have over 25 youth and recreation lacrosse programs; over 25 college and club lacrosse programs; and over 65 boys and girls high school varsity lacrosse teams as well as quite a few junior varsity teams. Our chapter membership in US Lacrosse has gone from a couple of hundred to over 1400. There are over 750 men and women playing lacrosse in South Carolina's Colleges and there are over 3500 kids participating in the youth and high school programs. All in all we think that is pretty good growth in a state where lacrosse was virtually unknown 14 years ago and one in which we had to confront some negative attitudes. We feel it particularly interesting to note that more than 55 kids in the high school programs, in the last 6 years have received lacrosse scholarships to college and numerous others have received increased consideration because they have played lacrosse. An old cliché goes: "Great Oaks from Little Acorns Grow" Well, the little "Acorn" of a few people, in 2000, grew into a cadre of hundreds who volunteered with enthusiasm and dedication to provide the opportunity for kids of all ages to enjoy the exciting and fun filled game of lacrosse. Although we are grateful to all who have been part of our "crusade" we must give special thanks to all of our coaches, both past and present, who are on the front lines with our kids. They are the ones who are responsible for instilling the principles of good sportsmanship along with the X's and O's as all of us strive to "HONOR THE GAME". We are excited to contemplate future growth as we continue to work to provide the lacrosse opportunity to all of the kids in South Carolina. Yours In Lacrosse,
Hal Ness for the South Carolina Chapter of US Lacrosse

Hello~ I was growing a cutting set to me a year ago from the big Island Hawaii. It looked really robust this summer and then a huge storm came knocked it off the table breaking of one of the two large branches. :( Brought it inside for the season here in Illinois....seemed to be putting out new leaf growth while indoors, but now those are curling up, turning dry and dropping off! What am I doing wrong? please help me save this special plant...what is critical here...water, no water, bright light, low light?? TIA |

You probably aren't doing anything wrong. I am originally from Illinois but now live in Southwest Florida. Here in Florida when the weather cools down and the days get shorter the plumerias that are in the ground lose their leaves. When the weather warms up the leaves will come back onto the plants. They could be considered a tropical deciduous shrub. When I had many houseplants in Illinois they would be in South facing windows and not do too much until March or April. I would leave it in the same location and water it maybe about every week or 10 days and in time it should come back. I hope I helped a little bit. |

Gardenbysarasota...thank u for your input. I will continue to water sparingly and hope it stays alive until spring. At least you gave me hope ;) Happy New Year! |

I hope things will go well with your Plumeria have a great New Year. |

Thanks, Mario. :D I used Paint Tool SAI for this one. And the thing about that program is it has the ability to create vector layers, where you can draw a line and then move any part of it if it seems crooked, or if you want to change it later. That's why it's mostly nicely curved. I love that program. xD Thanks, Sarah. xD I might take a couple of requests, if anyone's interested.
Team StormRiders is BACK. Read it here! .......................--> art duo with: Xanthe | bff: k_pop | Links
Aww, thanks! n__n Yeah, for the stamps I tried out a different style than my own, and I quite like it! Of course I added my own flair to the designs as well, and I really love the dogs. THEY'RE SO CUTE. Haha, no, I didn't draw all those animals. Gosh, could you imagine how long I'd be there for if I did? xD They were just brushes in Photoshop. I love the fact that brushes alone can make things so much easier. Oh, right! While we're on the topic of my Uni work, I also have another illustration to show you guys that I did recently. xD With this project, we had to create an illustration for a child's library card. So my idea was to have a kid reading a book about a dragon when suddenly...POOF! The dragon pops out of the book and comes to life, just like in your imagination! =) And a comedy poster as well. xD I really like this one! Spoiler: Sure, Sarah! I'd love to draw an Archen sometime! That can be tomorrow's job. :3 I might even draw another Bulbasaur for you. I don't believe I've ever really drawn a good one, before. xD
About time I posted some more stuff here done in the past few months. xD Quite a few sketches, because I seem to be into traditional drawings lately, rather than graphics. Spoiler: On a Kingdom Hearts binge lately. Anyone guess who my favourite character is? Free ice cream. xD Spoiler: Because Axel contemplating shows he cares. ;w; Spoiler: Random guy drawn with charcoal pencils. Just trying out my new medium. Me likes. Spoiler: Orochimaru. My favourite Naruto villain (apart from Deidara). <3 Spoiler: This guy's a random character of mine. Fun and quirky, like a puppy. His name's Shikei. Spoiler: After watching the anime Elfen Lied (fantastic, by the way) I had to make my own character. Meet Kaede. Spoiler: And finally, this is the illustration I designed for the 2012 Uni calendar. If you can't guess, it's going to be October. I put sooooo much effort into this. xD
WHO IS - ... Get out. Right now. ...Go. THAT'S AXEL, YOU SILLY.
I lol'd. Well, Gemma, I practically sat with you through each one of those drawings.. I think except for two. But regardless, I like them all, there's hardly any need for improvement with the exception of hands, but I fail hard at hands, so I can't really say anything. I'd kinda like to see the full body Axel get colored, it'd be really neat to see, I think. x3
I probably won't colour it. I never colour things any more. Just love sketching. Anyway, have a psychotic piece. My little boy's growing up. c': Spoiler: Noxus Yashiru; OC
I think a lot of people forgot it was here. xD Or they just don't look. Bleach...uh, you mean Nnoitra? Yeah, he's pretty creepy. Unless you mean Orochimaru from Naruto? There's a few creepy guys with tongues. x3 Yeah, I love my sketches. It's about all I have time for these days, and while I should be practising my colouring, I prefer working on anatomy by drawing sketches. Especially hands, which I need to work on. xD And naaaah, you're good! You pop in here from time-to-time and that's fine by me. Lol. Thank goodness it's back to normal!

But unlike most citizen-journalism efforts, in which the focus of the participants is on throwing in their proverbial two cents, OTB was about collaborative reporting, and as such it contained the seeds of something that might be useful. It took twelve thousand volunteers—doctors, lawyers, teachers, students, etc.—and coordinated their various skill sets to gather and analyze information that writers then turned into articles. It was like the Time Inc. model of journalism writ large. And it worked, if unevenly, breaking some stories but more important, adding narratives and perspectives to the campaign discourse that we didn't get from the professional press. The editors at OffTheBus—the professionals in this pro-am equation—supplied the editorial judgment and set the priorities, deciding which stories to pursue and then enlisting legions of volunteers to help them report those stories. But they also listened to their members and let the information that came from the ground up shape their editorial judgment—just as the best editors listen to their reporters in the field.
Of course, this all happened around the most dynamic presidential election in decades, and so it would be easy to dismiss it as something impossible to replicate, in an ongoing way, in a professional newsroom. And it would be difficult to replicate, but not impossible. OTB's success—and more important, the ways it succeeded—challenges the debilitating notion that the public has nothing but disdain for the press, and is largely uninterested in quality news and information.
It demonstrated that there are thousands of people (at least) in this country, of various political leanings, who have a genuine interest not in becoming journalists, necessarily, but in improving journalism—in gathering news and perspectives from beyond the Beltway, beyond Wall Street, beyond officialdom at all levels. Michel says that what became clear over time was that, for many of OTB's volunteers, the interest in improving journalism ran deeper than their role in the campaign. "The mainstream media narratives are very powerful, and early on many of our volunteers emulated the style and approach of the MSM," she told me. "But the longer they participated in the project, the more they pushed back against those narratives."
There are significant managerial differences, of course, between leading a group of trained reporters on a big story and leading packs of amateurs, however smart and motivated they are. But the potential upside is hard to deny. In a time of shrinking resources, such a press-public network could extend the newsroom in significant ways.
By definition, for instance, it would alter the top-down flow of news, countering—at least a bit—the press's over-reliance on official sources. As a result, it would help to broaden and diversify the coverage. The perspectives of nurses, for example, are largely excluded from press coverage of the health-care debate, as the writer Suzanne Gordon has documented and expounded on over the past twenty years. This is true despite the fact that nurses, much more so than doctors, are the ones most closely connected to the patients' (and news consumers') experience. "When reporters cover the latest developments in experimental cancer treatment," Gordon wrote in The Nation in 1999, "they will routinely question the doctors on the impact such treatments have on cancer cells, but never the nurses who can talk about their impact on patients' lives."
The opportunities here seem limited only by our imagination. Michel, who now works at ProPublica, said that, while OffTheBus didn't specifically track the demographics of its volunteers, her sense is that they skewed toward middle-class professionals. But she also said that it would be possible, over time, to "really target your demographic." Think of how difficult it is for the press to cover the poor or the working class in sustained and meaningful ways—ways that get beyond single dimensions and the middle-class assumptions that dominate our newsrooms. Imagine how different the coverage of the economy in this country could have been over the last thirty years if more of the press narratives had been coming from the ground up, rather than the top down.
The promise of the OTB experiment is not only that it could help extend the reach of the emaciated American newsroom, but that it could create an alliance between the public and the press. So that when a news outlet concludes that some important mass-transit ideas are not being addressed by the leadership in Congress or the White House, for instance, it would have twelve thousand—or one hundred thousand—engaged citizens (née consumers) adding to its crusade with e-mails and Tweets and phone calls and Facebook pages of their own. Such a scenario has the potential to radically change the decision-making dynamic at the federal, state, or local level.

I credit my mother and aunt for my love of cooking--Mom for her creativity and my aunt for putting the apron on me and letting me go. I enjoy baking most of all and when I get time, that's what I do for fun. There's never a shortage of takers! During the holidays I am a maniac for baking cookies and every year around late October, I start prowling for new creative, different ideas.
I love food. ALL food. I'm no fan of liver, brussels sprouts, or really hot spicy stuff, but beyond that, I'm game for anything. I am drawn to good old fashioned recipes and cookbooks, and finding ways to "slim down" some of those old tried and true favorites. My favorite restaurant is Longhorn Steak House which I only get to go to on my birthday, and breakfast at Cracker Barrel is AWESOME!

Five cult classic horror movies inspired by books -- and available now!
The entertainment industry, with its long-established allergy to new ideas, often mines the bestseller list for source material. Studios are more likely to greenlight a scary story after it has been officially vetted by the reading public. They're also less likely to interfere with a proven earner, which is why the most interesting and distinctive films are usually literary adaptations. In horror cinema, however, the filmmaker's vision of a story so often becomes definitive in the minds of viewers that it overshadows the books that inspired that vision in the first place (unless of course, those books were written by Stephen King). Edith Scob in Eyes Without a Face
With that in mind, the Westword Book Club has compiled a list of five cult classic horror movies that were inspired by novels and short stories, deliberately avoiding canonical works like Dracula and Frankenstein as well as blockbusters like The Exorcist and Rosemary's Baby in favor of slightly obscure titles that deserve more eyeballs. Then we Lars von Trier'ed ourselves into a corner by only selecting movies that are available to stream instantly, so readers can easily check out these great films before their Halloween spirit is buried beneath the snows of November. Read on, and enjoy your nightmares.

The Wicker Man
Based on the novel Ritual by David Pinner
Though the 1973 version of The Wicker Man has been eclipsed in the public consciousness by the bug-fuck crazy remake starring Nicolas Cage, the original, directed by Robin Hardy, is scarier, less misogynistic and more faithful to Ritual, David Pinner's 1967 novel that inspired it. The Wicker Man is a thoroughly British tale of a moralistic Scotland Yard detective who travels to a remote island in the Hebrides to search for a missing girl. The islanders deny the girl's very existence, and seem to be in the strange thrall of Lord Summerisle, a man whose absolute evil is made immediately evident by the fact that he is portrayed by Christopher Lee. Lee, who most viewers will recognize from his role as Saruman in the Lord of the Rings series, makes a meal of this sinister character, imbuing his every line with genteel menace and carrying off some rather on-the-nose dialogue with little more than his bone-chilling baritone. We won't spoil the end, but let's just say it involves sacrificial pagan rituals and not sleeping for days.
Available on Amazon Instant Video.
Let the Right One In
Based on the novel Låt den rätte komma in by John Ajvide Lindqvist
Tomas Alfredson's Let the Right One In isn't a horror movie in the traditional sense, though there are plenty of shocking scenes of violence in the film. The plot centers on the burgeoning relationship between Oskar, a twelve-year-old boy from a Stockholm suburb and Eli, the seemingly pre-adolescent vampire who moves in next door. While Oskar enjoys Eli's help when she's defending him from bullies, he soon realizes that caring for someone who feeds off of human blood is messy work fraught with moral compromises. The script, adapted by John Ajvide Lindqvist from his own 2004 novel, whittles down some of the backstory and supernatural world-building and instead focuses on the tentative friendship of his lead characters. Alfredson's film, steeped in the melancholy of a sunless Swedish winter, subverts the conventions of horror movies and vampire mythos, making Eli into one of the most relatable vampires in film history. A bloodthirsty monster lurking beneath a cute-kid exterior, Eli is all the more terrifying for being so sympathetic. It should be noted that we're discussing the 2008 Swedish film, and not its well-meaning but pointless American remake starring Carrie's Chloe Grace Moretz, cinema's poster child for well-meaning but pointless horror remakes.
Available on Netflix.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Sassy!
Facts about Sassy
- Breed: Paint/Pinto Mix
- Color: Paint
- Age: Adult
- Size: Medium
- Sex: Female
Sassy's Info...
I am rideable, up to date with shots, and good with kids.
Sassy is a gorgeous tri-colored paint mare. She is approx. 5 yrs. old and 14.3 hands. She is a sweet mare to handle. She loads on trailer, stands for farrier and loves attention. She has been ridden english, western, over small jumps and on trails. She does have a lot of energy! Sassy prefers to be ridden without a bit. She would make a GREAT Barrel horse!
Sassy is best for an intermediate rider.
If interested in adopting her please contact us
Adoption Donation - $500- to approved home
Other Pets at Iron Gait Percherons- Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Sassy, a Waleska Paint/Pinto was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Paint/Pinto for sale in Waleska, or seeking a Paint/Pinto from a breeder in Waleska.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Waleska already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Waleska breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Paint/Pinto breeders who help with Paint/Pinto rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Waleska paves the way for another one to be saved.

A 31-year-old man has been charged with raping a woman at a Billings night club.
Marcus Earl Johnson appeared for arraignment Friday in Yellowstone County District Court by video from the county jail. He pleaded not guilty to a felony charge of sexual intercourse without consent.
Judge Ingrid Gustafson set bond at $15,000.
Prosecutors allege that Johnson raped a woman at a Billings night club on Sept. 29, 2012. The woman reported that she was pulled into a dark room and assaulted as loud music covered her screams.
Johnson called police later that night and reported that a woman in leopard spandex pulled him into a dark theater and tried to have sex with him, court records state.
Johnson later provided DNA for testing. Prosecutors said the state crime lab determined Johnson's DNA could not be excluded from a sample collected from the woman.

NPT Safeguards Agreements
Our 1714.
On 2 April, we had a further meeting with Webber1 (Director, Atomic Energy Affairs, State Department) and Brewster2 (Deputy Director) who had with them Yeomans3 and Spingarn4 (USAEC) and Maurer5 (Legal Adviser's Officer, State Department). We spelt out your concerns with the proposed draft protocol along lines set out in paragraph 6 of your telegram 1524.6
- The Americans recalled the recent background to their policy of progressively transferring the administration of safeguards agreements from the United States to the IAEA. The United States had already completed some twenty-one transfers of bilateral atomic energy agreements to trilateral arrangements involving IAEA inspections. Five transfers of trilateral arrangements to NPT safeguards had already been completed and more were to be negotiated. All these transfers were based on the principle, contained in clause 1 of the draft protocol, that one set of safeguards would be suspended 'to the extent' that the new arrangements were being applied.
- The main difference between the trilateral agreement and the NPT safeguards was that the trilateral agreement prohibited transfer of United States supplied materials for military non-explosive purposes while the NPT safeguards contained no such prohibition. To accord with United States law and policy, it was necessary to close this 'gap' in the NPT system. At the same time it continued to be United States policy to get out of the business of policing safeguards agreements and to transfer this responsibility to the IAEA.
[matter omitted]
- We asked the Americans to explain the philosophy behind the prohibition of transfer of materials to non-explosive military systems. Their reply was that American civil atomic energy agreements were designed to cover the use of American supplied materials for purely peaceful purposes. Any military applications (e.g. naval propulsion) would have to be the subject of a separate military assistance agreement. The United States had concluded such an agreement with Britain.

More than you would think. Remember that 1920's inspired engagement shoot I had in April in Baton Rouge…yeah…you know the one. Well not only was the lovely couple (Kat & Kyle) the bee's knees, the finished shots aren't too shabby either. I'm so in love with them that I simply had to share a few of my favorites with you. I hope you dig 'em as much as I do. And remember, I'm available for destination weddings and events…I'm not just a local gal. You beckon and I come. You can get all the details on my photo sessions as well as a handy dandy faq sheet here.
And now for something completely different…
Kat & Kyle's 1920's Engagement Shoot
Aren't they the cutest couple ever? I mean seriously above and beyond adorable.
They nearly put me in a sugar coma they were so sweet.
Good thing I have a massive sweet tooth. *wink*

Hey I am looking for some milkweed. I have contacted all the nurseries in my area that I know of and no luck... I actually hope I am posting in the correct place. So my question is to those of you who live in Northern Va, who grows milkweed do you know what nursery I can go to buy some? My dad use to give me Asclepias curassavica every year but he is no longer with us so that's out of the question. Also I am looking for the Asclepias incarnate, Asclepias syriaca, Asclepias curassavica in particular. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! |

I can't imagine whay anyone would grow milkweed. I pull up milkweed plants in my garden all of the time. How are the plants used? |
Many butterflies rely on them for food. Adults consume the nectar, caterpillars (Monarchs, Swallowtails etc) eat the leaves. I don't buy plants, can't afford it BUT it is fairly easy to grow A. syriaca, incarnata and tuberosa (orange) from seed! Why not buy some seeds and grow your own? I bought mine from: |
Here is a link that might be useful: buy asclepias seeds

Would you like for me to collect milkweed seeds for you this growing season? |
Wish I had seen this Saturday. The Native Plant sale in Park Fairfax in Alexandria was this weekend and one vendor had lots. Keep an eye out-there is a fall sale there, too. You could also try Nature by Design Nursery in Alexandria off Route 1 north of Alex. City. |

Meadows Farm off Route 7 in Leesburg has them, also Blue Mount Nursery off Route 7 near Leesburg has them. |
I agree they are expensive! I finally found some at Merrifield In Fairfax. They were the only place that had them when I called around. Im growing them in huge containers. Although this is my 1st time doing it my dad was very successful growing in containers. He usually takes care of this but he was called home so im doing it now. Never realized how important milkweed was to the Monarch until a school trip to Dc. With my son. I did not know you could just buy the seeds or even collect them . (Yup im pretty new to gardening). |
Just an update. I found the milkweed I needed. At a very comfortable affording price at that. They arrived well packed. The site is joyfulbutterfly.com ...5 plants for $34.70. $11.95 was shipping though. Also I bought a.curassavica seeds 500 for $2.50 from Everwilde farms. I think this is the most ive been excited in along time...haha... |

If you're looking for Milkweed seeds and plugs try Monarch Watch at http://www.monarchwatch.org/ and click on the "Milkweed Market" tab for how to get milkweed plugs. Also Live Monarch http://www.livemonarch.com/free-milkweed-seeds.htm has seeds for a donation of $3.00 to cover postage and handling. Live Monarch also has Monarch Chrysalises and supplies to help raise Monarchs to support restoring the population numbers here: http://www.livemonarch.com/teaching.htm |
There are alerts going out all over gardening networks that Monarch butterfly populations are in serious decline due to reduced populations of milkweed now that farmers are using more herbicides in fields (a major source of wild milkweed since many gardeners don't grow it). Gardeners are strongly encouraged to help bolster the populations by increasing the use of milkweed in their own gardens. Monarch populations have plunged to about 1/3 of what they were in recent years. Since they only eat milkweed as developing caterpillars, presence of this plant (there are many species) is essential to their survival. |
I don't need milkweed now lol. I found some at Merrifield and a place far out in Strasburg. I actually have seeds now and have 30 monarch cats inside the home. I have already released 9 and this is my first year doing it! Yay!! I do container gardening only ( I live in an apt) & ppl said it couldnt be done. 3 of my mw plants are 5 feet tall!!! |

UK digital ad spend grows 12.6% in first half of 2012
Despite the difficult UK economy, advertising on the internet and mobile phones increased, like-for-like*, by 12.6% to a record six-month high of £2.59 billion in the first half of 2012 - up by over £294 in the first half of 2011, according to the latest Internet Advertising Bureau UK (IAB) advertising expenditure report, conducted by PwC.
The digital media mix share is consistent with 2011 with paid for search increasing from 58% to 59%. Display remains at 23% and Classified at 17%.
Display advertising across the internet and mobile grew at a slightly lesser rate than the overall growth level. Display increased by 10.6% year-on-year on a like-for-like basis to £590.9 million from £534.7 million.
Banners represent half of all display revenues (£294m) with banners in social making up 23% of display and online video 12%. Online video advertising increased 43% to £69.8 million and banners in social media environments increased 36% to £134.2 million.
The consumer goods (FMCG) sector has joined the finance sector as the biggest spender on digital display advertising - both accounting for almost 16% of display ad spend in the first half of 2012. FMCG's share has almost doubled in the last three years - from 9% in the first half of 2009.
The five top display sectors between January and June 2012 are completed by entertainment & media (13%), retail (11%) and travel & transport (10%).
Paid-for search marketing continues to grow and has doubled over the last five years to £1,527 million. Year-on-year, search increased 15.9% on a like-for-like basis.
Classifieds achieved their highest half year revenue but growth was behind the overall level for all digital ad spend. Classifieds grew 7.2% like-for-like to £427.1 million.
Smartphone ownership is now 58%** of the UK population and mobile advertising grew, like-for-like, by 132% to £181.5 million in the first half of 2012. Mobile now accounts for 7% of all digital ad spend.
Search continues to command the lion share for mobile - growing 152% to £131.6 million - accounting for 72% of mobile ad spend, up from 67% share last year.
Amongst media owners who submitted revenue figures to the IAB and PwC, ad spend on tablets is estimated to be at least £2.4 million in the first half of 2012.
Tim Elkington, Director of Research & Strategy at the Internet Advertising Bureau, said: "There's still plenty of room for growth. Take mobile; 60% of the UK's 100 biggest advertisers still don't have a mobile-optimised website yet consumers spend almost 70% longer on sites which are. If all advertisers get wise to this, we're likely to see significant mobile growth for some time yet."
*To provide the most accurate like-for-like growth rates, only companies that submitted in H1 2011 and H1 2012 have been included in year-on-year growth calculations.
**Source: comScore, MobiLens, UK, 3 month average ending June 2012.

I planted my tomato plants a month ago. They are growing but slowly. They have had some blooms but no fruit. They only get sun from about 1:00 pm to 8:00 pm. Can I move they to the other side of the garden where they will get more sun without killing them. Or should I just wait and see what happens? |
Follow-Up Postings:
They only get sun from about 1:00 pm to 8:00 pm ---------------------------------------------- |
If they are an early variety you will get tomatoes, but if late, maybe not. I grew Early Girls back in the day when my plants could only get 5 hours of sun, and I got tomatoes, but it took a long time and the palnts were very leggy. If I were you, and had the room to move them to a place with more sun, I might try it with one and see how it responds after a day or two, then move the rest it it appears to be surviving ok. Why not, it's worth a try. |
It would be a really big help to know where you live or at least your garden zone. There is a box provided for that info with every post. Weather and length of you gardening season are crucial to how successful moving them now may or may not be. Dave |

Having just landed in the country for his very first Australian tour, Mikhael Paskalev has unpacked ye olde proverbial suitcase and hand-delivered debut album "What's Life Without Losers" - out today via Dew Process. Make no mistake - this is no blushing debutante, but a ball-busting, jock-sporting, hand-jiving introduction to one of Norway's brightest stars.
"…whether cranking the electric or feathering the acoustic, Paskalev is an effervescent revelation." – The Music
"…pop beats and acoustic wonders, with a smack of Norway to it." – Yen
"An enchanting, summery collection of delicate pop from a star on the rise." – Tone Deaf
After stopping by Perth Festival last week, Mikhael and his gang of merry men hit the stage at Brisbane's Alhambra Lounge and Sydney's Oxford Art Factory - both ceremoniously sweaty affairs, attracting capacity crowds (and then some). He's in Melbourne tonight for a SOLD OUT show at Howler, followed by a spot on WOMADelaide this weekend.
Armed with nothing more than his trusty Y-Fronts and some of the best legs in the business, Mikhael burst on to the scene with breakthrough hit 'I Spy' (watch the video HERE); a devastating one-two punch when paired with new single 'Jive Babe'. The album "What's Life Without Losers" carries on in the same spectacular fashion; shamelessly catchy and utterly winsome, but never straying far from the raw and raucous soundscape Mikhael and producer Joe Wills have created.
Having just released the first teaser 'Crazy' taken from the band's forthcoming debut LP due out mid-2015, Brisbane's Art of Sleeping announce an east coast tour of the same name. Shortly after their scheduled performances on some of the countries biggest stages over the New Year at Falls Festival, the band are set to take the stage in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane this Summer.
Bernard Fanning offers up 'GROW AROUND YOU' lifted from his latest #1 album Departures. Berneard and his band will be stopping by the Fotty Show AFL Grand Final show on Thursday 26th September for a special televised headline-performance.
Returning in a wall of shimmering synth and hook-laden guitars, Guineafowl delivers a partnering video for new single 'Little Death (Make It Rain)' and announces details of a special EP launch night taking over Sydney's Club 77 on Thursday 10th October

With plenty of flannels and full beards, it was not hard to tell that Sera Cahoone and her band are from Seattle after immediately looking at them. With her, she brought not only her Seattle sensibilities, but also her unique and captivating music. Cahoone has played drums for a number of years in bands such as Carissa's Wierd and Band of Horses, but has since swapped sticks for guitar picks and writes and performs her own tunes. "I kind of wanted to do my own things," she explained about going solo "I always wanted to play guitar and sing, and just sort of went for it." Her band consisted of her on guitar and vocals, accompanied by an additional guitar or banjo, as well as the criminally underused lap steel.
From the first notes of her opening song, "Worry All Your Life" from her latest LP Deer Creek Canyon, it was clear that the rain had followed her into Boston. The somber and mournful introduction felt appropriate under the grey wet skies, and the lap steel escalated this mood intensely. The acoustic instrumentation was constantly responding to the dreary vocal melody and harmonies, all with the lap steel sliding and weeping on top if it all with an eerily human voice like timbre. The song was a relatively standard folk rock piece, but was notable for its intense and potent emotional atmosphere.
The next song that Cahoone played was the title track from her last LP, an ode to her home land of Colorado. The entire album explores this theme of longing for an idea of home and, more specifically, of that specific geographic area. Although touring with these songs in different places can be strange, she says "these songs are from Colorado, playing them reminds me of Colorado and puts me in a good head space." Her approach of "going back to the simple things" for her latest release was apparent in more ways than one. The lyrics were filled with vivid imagery of mountains and nature, which lent to the organic and earth feel of the instrumentation. The technicality and intricacy of the playing and the arrangements was extremely impressive. With one guitar quickly finger picking a myriad of notes, while the other strummed away at chords, it was hard to tell which sound was coming from which guitar. This dynamic made for dense layers of sound and a musical landscape as lush and lively as the ones described in the lyrics.
Cahoone closed the set with "Naked" another song from her latest album. This time the second guitarist swapped his instrument out and picked up a banjo, giving the song a distinctly American twang. Cahoone is not the most powerful or assertive of singers, but instead sings in an unassuming, infectious manner that allows itself to be enveloped in the music. It created a sound that put the music and the vocals on an equal level of importance, equal parts human and nature. This theme was prevalent in all the songs she played both lyrically and musically with her exploration of details of humanity in the terms of nature and vice-versa.

I need recommendations. My home near Andalusia, AL. ended up with a TALL foundation. As much as 14' in places. This leaves my front stairs - which are open - looking like a fire escape. I want to close in below them with lattice and plant a low maintenance vine that wll not destroy my brick if it grows out of its immediate boundaries. I have partial sun to shade. Any great ideas for me? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Clematis armandii, an evergreen clematis would be nice. They have this on an arbor near where I live at Aldridge Gardens, in dappled shade, and it is a gorgeous vine, IMO. I grow an oriental climbing-hydrangea type vine called Schizophragma "Moonlight." Climbing hydrangea type plants are also lovely but you have to patient for a few years + before they take off and start to fill in and bloom. You might also look at Dutchman's pipe vine, except that it is deciduous (not evergreen). Todd |
Thanks Todd will google both. |

Students often feel that only one correct interpretation of a text exists, especially when dealing with Shakespeare. In this lesson students are challenged to think about how cultural context impacts interpretation. They may also begin to see that their own reading of any text is a product of their culture and experience.
Folger edition of A Midsummer Night's Dream Available in Folger print edition and Folger Digital Texts
1. Most students are familiar with Tinker Bell, Peter Pan's fairy companion. Ask students what qualities Tinker Bell exhibits and how she is represented in film or illustrated in books.
2. Have students read the fifth chapter of the third book (pages 73–77) of Daemonologie by James I (attached below). These pages include "The description of the fourth kinde of Spirites called the Phairie." James I published Daemonologie in 1597 to convince the "doubting hearts of many" that the "assaults of Satan are most certainly practiced." This book was widely read during the Renaissance. In a group discussion, have students compare the Disney version of a fairy with James I's presentation.
3. Share Henry Fuseli's early nineteenth-century painting of Puck (attached below as an image and as a handout). As part of a group discussion, ask students to identify telling details in the illustration that reveal Puck's personality. They may notice a devilish look in Puck's eyes and the dark colors used in the scene. Have them compare and contrast Puck with the other fairy depicted in the painting. What do they think is the relationship between the two? (Note: Your students may also notice that the Puck scene has been painted over a picture of a woman reclining. Fuseli often reused old canvases.)
4. Next, have the group describe Puck's personality as represented in Arthur Rackham's early twentieth-century drawing (attached below as an image and as a handout). They should identify details in the drawing to support their position. Then, have them compare and contrast Rackham's depiction of Puck with Fuseli's. They may notice that Rackham's Puck is more child-like and whimsical.
5. Students may then review A Midsummer Night's Dream 2.1.159. What specific language here suggests the fairies' mischievous or benign nature? Conclude by discussing how and why the depiction of fairies differs in different contexts.

Deep Green Resistance Vancouver says a militant defence of the environment is needed
A new crop of local activists is advocating for militant actions—including sabotage—to defend the environment.
Organizers of Deep Green Resistance Vancouver say that usual tactics like holding rallies, handing out flyers, and participating in public forums aren't enough.
Although they emphasize that as an aboveground organization they'll only engage in nonviolent actions, one of the group's stated objectives is to "shift public opinion toward supporting an underground resistance that exists or may come to exist".
"It was born out of necessity," Jason Doherty said about the concept of "deep green resistance" during a phone interview with the Straight. "A lot of environmental groups play a vital role in protecting the environment. However, if you look back at the track record of these organizations, you'll find that a majority of them are dealing with a fairly dismal track record in terms of the actual destruction that they've prevented."
That also explains why Doherty won't denounce people like Rebecca Rubin. The former North Vancouver resident surrendered to American authorities on November 29, 2012, after six years on the run. She was wanted for her alleged involvement in arson attacks by the Earth Liberation Front and the Animal Liberation Front in the U.S. more than a decade ago.
"I'm not drawing any lines at this point in time," Doherty said. "I wouldn't condemn their actions."
The Deep Green Resistance movement started in North America. It was inspired by the 2011 book Deep Green Resistance: Strategy to Save the Planet by Canadian author Aric McBay and Americans Lierre Keith and Derrick Jensen.
Joe Foy has been involved in the Canadian environmental movement since the mid '80s, and the national campaign director of the Vancouver-based Wilderness Committee is familiar with the thinking behind direct action.
"I understand the philosophy and, certainly, when one looks at the loss of species, the decline of the oceans, the destruction of farmland, and especially the changing climate, an argument can be made that environmental protection would necessitate actions that may damage equipment or put people at risk," Foy told the Straight in a phone interview. "I disagree with that. I think that if we are trying to build a society worth having, we should maintain the peaceful and respectful society that we have here in Canada and try to improve on it, not go the other way and create a society where decisions are made by who can wreak the most damage on the other. I reject that notion."
But according to Daniel Whittingstall, an organizer with Deep Green Resistance Vancouver, the mainstream environmental movement has "only put a Band-Aid" over the deteriorating health of the planet.
"For those of us that are in the [Deep Green Resistance] movement…our direct action would be the protesting and the blockades and the petitioning but also the advocating for, like, basically sabotaging the system so that the system will crash in on itself," Whittingstall told the Straight in a phone interview. "Now, we won't actually be doing that, but we advocate and we try to educate the public on the need for that to happen."
Kevin Washbrook engaged in civil disobedience when he and other activists stood on the train tracks in White Rock to stop rail shipments of coal to Delta in May 2012. For that action, they were arrested.
Washbrook has heard about Deep Green Resistance and says he understands the frustration and anger that some feel about the continuing degradation of the environment. However, he believes that direct action will ultimately fail as a strategy because it will only invite a violent response from the government.
"Is the goal to try and solve the problem yourself through your action, or is the goal to point out to society that there is a moral and ethical dilemma that everyone's ignoring [and] that needs to be confronted?" Washbrook said in a phone interview with the Straight. "I think it's the latter."
With B.C. as ground zero in the expansion of oil and gas pipelines, Deep Green Resistance Vancouver may yet find fertile ground for its call to defend the environment through direct action.
It isn't government you should be afraid of. It is the rest of us who will gladly support a violent response to such insane zealotry.
Look around so-called activists at the faces of your comrades. I would bet loonies to maple doughnuts that some of them are with CSIS and that your first planned act of violence will lead to widespread arrests.
These people need to understand that the average person on the street is not willing to give up his or her present lifestyle to fulfill an extreme ideological agenda. They are certainly not willing to give up their present lifestyle to live in the grim little world that followers of Arnie Naess think would be ideal.
But go ahead, do what you're going to do. And then we can be assured of a least a few years where we won't have to listen to this ideological gibberish while these people rot in a jail cell somewhere.

the real problem is that rurals get up to twice the voting power as more educated, culturally superior urban folks"
Our electoral system guarantees that rural ridings have representation. Were it otherwise, the citizens of large cities would steamroll those in the hinterland. Our concerns are not always the same, because daily reality differs. Rural people tend to VALUE the out-of-doors. The wilderness and sea for me are huge factors. I want the natural world to stay healthy, as opposed to being covered over by concrete, pavement or frantically scurrying Nikes. City critters are not better educated, but there do tend to be more jobs in large centres, as well as more money.
"These people need to understand that the average person on the street is not willing to give up his or her present lifestyle to fulfill an extreme ideological agenda."
True. But the average person really doesn't want change in most movements, whether they be ecological, political, or whatnot. And that includes such notable ones as The American Revolution, The French Revolution, the Russian Revolution, and even the present Syrian Revolution and the recent Libyan Revolution. The best the average person might be willing to support is to not inform on the axctivists. But active support for a revolution only happens when it looks as though the revolutionaries are getting the upper hand.
We know that this vehicle we cling to so desperately is headed for a cliff, yet we defend it as if there was no other way. Industrial civilization cannot exist without destroying its own landbase and the landbases of others, it is based on the assumption of infinite growth on a finite planet. We are essentially captives of a civilizational system that compels us to destroy the earth in order to live this way. If humanity and all other life on earth is to survive then we must move beyond this civilizational system.
The time for action is now. We do not have the next twenty years to lobby our governments or send in letters of concern in hopes that they will make the necessary changes on our behalf's. I doubt there are many who still believe that the purpose of governments, especially ours, would be to protect its people from the destructive paths of corporate powers let alone the environment. In fact, Im sure that most of us have begun to realize quite the opposite.
Those of you who are heartbroken at the destruction left behind by this system, who are tired of being ineffective and frustrated at seeing the same strategies year after year come up fruitless, consider then a strategy that does not compromise with the system. If you have been waiting for a serous, organized, strategic movement, then welcome. We are Deep Green Resistance. Come join the conversation and see what we are really about. Our local chapter for Vancouver can be found on Facebook, or you can email us at: firstname.lastname@example.com
For starters, a good media campaign: it's not slander if it's true! Although, the corporate spin doctors are pretty talented, so it's important to cover your tracks.
A legal assault: there are military laws to limit environmental impacts (from Agent Orange days). What's going on now isn't that different, except that motivation is not to kill, it's to make money. Too bad the outcome is the same. Poisoned soil and water.
Political: get that environmental terrorist (Mr. Harper) out of office.

My Rheem Central a/c stopped working. The compressor and condenser fan wouldn't come on. The air handler fan worked. After bypassing thermostat, and determined it was ok, I went outside to the condensing unit. As soon as I started to loosen a screw, to remove the cover, it started up!
I checked all connections inside, and they seemed ok. I suspect the contactor might be bad, but not sure. Any suggestions? |
Follow-Up Postings:
It could also be a bad capacitor. If you have never fixed a condenser then it would be best to call in a qualified HVAC tech. |

• Senate Bill 493 fails to address challenges resulting from existing transfer law and instead would create even more problems for students and families, Governor says
ST. LOUIS, Mo. – Gov. Jay Nixon today vetoed Senate Bill 493, which would have diverted public, taxpayer dollars to private schools and exacerbated the hardships faced by students in struggling districts and their families. The Governor called on school districts in the region to support the state's plan to improve the financial stability and academic performance of troubled schools.

Dad, got a fathers day present for you. Thought that was rather unusual since just a phone call has sufficed in past years. He said,"found a dairy in Fond du Lac Wisconsin that now makes liederkranz cheese". We have not been able to find it in the last 30 years. Tried all kinds of searchs and inquiries but to no avail. Said I'm sending both of us 3 pounds of it. Liederkranz is a soft cheese somewhat reminisent of limburger but not near the very pungent odor, still rather stinky though but oh so good.
He was calling from his new tractor, an 8530 John Deere, he was putting down fertilizer. They are a very impressive looking tractor and he was complaining jokingly that it was hot, windy and so much work. Said the tractor wants me to turn it around at the end of the field. GPS does all the rest even applying different amounts of fertilizer as it traverses the field. Nice air conditioned cab with sattelite radio or CD player. Said,"even if I went to sleep it would stop at the end of the field and wait for me to turn it around". I have never diven this machine but have been on his other tractors. Not sure I could grasp the electronics used to operate it. Instead of levers and pedals it has an imposing amount of buttons to push. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Yeah Gandle, these new and improved tractors are sure "purty and highfuluten". Several of our neighbors have some of them and I just smile and wave as they go down the road. I'd probably have that tractor doing the two-step, polka, and maybe even line dancing before I figured out which button to push at the end of the row to make it turn around! But I'm really glad we don't have the price tag that goes with them, aren't you? |

Did I hear "Liederkranz" ? Loved that cheese, felt terrible when it went off the Market Family called it "Mom's Stinky Cheese" I never had to share it with anyone. When DH and I first retired and moved to my current place, we had milk-goats and I tried my hand at cheese-making and subscribed to a cheese-maker's newsletter. I remember some subscribers inquired about the recipe for Liederkranz and were told that it couldn't be made available because if someone did it wrong and people got sick, it could mean a lawsuit for -Borden? - even though they didn't plan to ever make it again, they had exclusive ownership of the recipe. |

Gandle, if you would live down the street, I would come and help you eat! Have not had any Liederkranz cheese in ages. Am shaking my head about the new tractor. I go back to a one share plow and a two cow team to pull it. Our local farms are not that big where tractors of that size would be needed or economic. About 5 years ago I had a chance to visit the Farm Equipment show in Louisville , Ky. That was fun. |
Yes, this thing pulls a 24 row planter. If we harnessed 4 horses we could pull a 2 row planter and we thougth that was really great. Most of the neighbors just planted 1 row at a time. |

Never heard of Liederkranz cheese until you mentioned it, it seems to be an American take on Limburger cheese. I love Limburger and it is ready available in the stores here in Silicon Valley. I'm totally impressed with your son's new tractor.I had no idea that John Deere was that advanced. |
gandle, glad you folks are getting some of that stinky cheese to enjoy and tickled to hear about your sons' incredible tractor! My grandson and I watch youtube videos of logging operations, long truck-trains in Australia and best of all, videos of freight trains. Of all the hundreds and hundreds we've watched, we like the ones from pwalpar.com near Atlanta. He is a retired railroad fellow and is so low-key and gentle towards the world in his outlook and in sharing his joy of watching trains lumber by---even giving little lessons in understanding strange noises some freight cars make and what's coming down the line next. Low key with a great Southern accent. ---The engineers passing through our town all recognize my grandson and give him a 'Shave and a Haircut--Two Bits' on the horn! |
Perhaps you would share the name of the dairy that is selling the Leiderkrantz?....and have you tasted it yet? Is it like the old stuff I can get Limberger....but it's lots "stinkier" than the Leiderkrantz. |
Remember Liederkranz cheese from Iowa, found it again at a specialty market in Monterey when was stationed there. Will look at the World Market locally next time go. |

Amazon sells it, but notice the shipping price below. It's $23.76 for a $6.70 slice of cheese. There must be another way. Featured Merchants1-1 of 1 offers Seller Rating:96% positive over the past 12 months. (272 total ratings) |
When I get it I'll post the name of the dairy. |
