My kale overwintered in raised beds. My question is should I cut back the leaves that are tough from being on during the winter and wait for new growth. I've heard that kale will put on new growth early spring then bolt. I plan to turn it under before planting vegetables for early summer. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I would not cut back anything. Old leaves will eventually yellow and drop of their own accord. While they are still green they are feeding the plant. If a leaf is yellow or otherwise in poor condition try pushing it downwards at the end where the leaf stalk joins the main stem. If it snaps off without effort remove it. If it resists leave it alone - it is still doing its work. Cutting leaves off will just leave a nub to rot. Clear up any dropped leaves from the ground and weed around the plants to help prevent pests and diseases from hanging around on the soil. The centre of the plant will begin to elongate which shows it is starting to bolt. If you keep picking from the centre you can postpone this a while longer. Kale stems can be like small tree trunks by the time the plants are finished. If you turn them under (a difficult job unless you have machinery) you will find they take forever to decompose. It's like tilling in pieces of wood. I would recommend you pull the plants and to bash the stems up before they go on the compost heap. |
I know someone who's had the same kale plants going for a few years. He swears it just keeps getting better! I'm going to try, growing it in my 'biologically diverse perennial community', aka ex-lawn weedpatch. |
I grow Winterbor. When the spring flush starts, old leaves yellow and drop off and the spring flush comes from the node where the old leaf met the stem. Eventually a little head, like a small broccoli, will form on the flushes. You can snap the flushes off at any time to use them--before the head forms or after, and you can use the entire thing--little stems and all. You'll get a lot of very early greens. |
I have kale that overwintered and is healthy but with very small leaves. I've put out new kale (our climate is pretty mild) and it too is puny. Any ideas why the kale isn't getting to be like those huge leaves in the market? Not that I want those, but mine could be a little bigger. I fertilized, but lightly. Could that be the culprit? It's dinosaur kale and the leaves have been changing color since november.....very cool! |

The leaves get bigger as the plant grows, later in the season. |

Thanks for the advice. I'll just sit back and watch it grow. There is red russian, white russian, and camden kale . So far the camden kale wins by a long shot for wintering over with no cover in zone 5/6. |
this is a bit off subject but can you take kale you bought at the store put it's stem in the water and will it root to grow in the house for the winter? |
I imagine that what you buy in the store is leaves. In which case the leaf stalk (petiole) won't grow roots. |

You shouldn't have to turn it over if you want Kale. This Kale plant i have is going into its third year next year. It went to seed once already, but it's still growing a bunch of new Kale on different stems! I just abuse this Kale by picking whenever I want, or cutting back, whatever. It is a strong plant. I am growing Lacinato Kale. |

I'm wondering if there are any passages/prophecies about salvation for the Gentile world in the Old Testament. If you know any, please share.
YES, there are! The footnote in my NLT Bible for Acts 11:1 has a list of Old Testament verses that say that salvation is for all people, not just the Jews. Below, I've reproduced the list and for two of them, I've directly quoted them because they're the clearest and most direct with regards to this topic.
Hebrew children in the Old Testament were born into God's covenant, both male and female. Circumcision was the sign of this covenant for boys, but the sign was not what saved them. Faith saved them. Rejecting the sign, circumcision, for boys, either by the parents or later as an adult himself, was a sign of a lack of true faith, and therefore the child was "cut off" from God's promises as clearly stated in Genesis chapter 17: What was the purpose of this covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob? God tells us in the beginning of this chapter of Genesis: This covenant wasn't just to establish a Jewish national identity or a promise of the inheritance of the land of Caanan, as some evangelicals want you to believe. In this covenant, God promises to be their God. Does God say here that he will be their God only if they make a "decision for God" when they are old enough to have the intelligence and maturity to decide for themselves? No! They are born into the covenant! If Jewish children grew up trusting in God and lived by faith, they then received eternal life when they died. If when they grew up, they rejected God, turned their back on God, and lived a life of willful sin, when they died, they suffered eternal damnation. Salvation was theirs to LOSE. There is no record anywhere in the Bible that Jewish children were required to make a one time "decision for God" upon reaching an "Age of Accountability" in order to be saved. Therefore Jewish infants who died, even before circumcision, were saved. The same is true today. Christian children are born into the covenant. They are saved by faith. It is not the act of baptism that saves, it is faith. The refusal to be baptized is a sign of a lack of true faith and may result in the child being "cut off" from God's promise of eternal life, to suffer eternal damnation, as happened with the unfaithful Hebrew in the OT. Christ said, "He that believes and is baptized will be saved, but he that does not believe will be damned." It is not the lack of baptism that damns, it is the lack of faith that damns. |
The first promise to the Gentiles was given to Adam and Eve (Gen.3:15) who were not Jews. The second promise was given to Japheth, the son of Noah who was father to the Gentiles (Gen.9:27).Shem was the father of the Jews (Gen.9:26). This was later confirmed by Isaiah (Isa.54). And I might add two more things. The word Jew was given to Israel by the Gentiles after the Tribe of Judah. The Jewish people are actually of Syrian decent according to Scripture (Due.26:5). As for praying for Israel we should pray as we do for all men but asking God to bless Israel is a sin. Note (2 John 2:7-11). Only those that are in Christ are of Israel "seed" (Gal.3:16) and (Gal.3:27-29). Let Gods Word be true and every man a liar that does not agree with it. God bless those that are in Christ the Son of God. |

I know that when the onion tops fall over it's getting close to the end. I'm so happy with my onions this year.
I have Walla Walla and another white and some red. They are about 4-5 inches. The tops are falling over. Should they still get water? Does it take about 10 days for the tops to dry up? I plan to pull them after the tops are drying and let them continue to dry in cardboard flats in the garage. Is this a good plan? What more should I do? Thanks so much for all of your advice. Pam in the Black Hills |
Follow-Up Postings:
Pam, yes you can stop watering them now. Growth is over, and you are looking for a pre-cure situation. Once the tops fall over, just monitor them. When the area just above the neck (where the plants bend, that is) shows no green, and is sort of dry, it's time to lift the onions. Ideally, you should then leave them laying in the garden, in the sun, for a day or two. I can't depend on it staying dry, here, however. So, as soon as I lift my onions I hang them, like garlic, until the tops are crispy dry. Then I trim and store. |
Gardenlad, what is the best way to store onions after they have been cured. And at what temperature. Is a dry 68 degree basement ok? Thanks. |
The best temperature for storing onions is between 32 and 40. Also dry is best. Higher temps will encourage the onions to sprout and damp will make them rot. |
i saw 3 of about 200 fell over yesterday so i'm getting close. when 20% are falling gently push the rest at the neck with a bow rake. i let them sit another few days. then i pull them and field dry them about 5-7 days covering the bulbs with the greens. then i move them to a shed on 2" X 4" welded wire racks to dry for 5-6 weeks. i have about 3# of copra left from last year in the fridge. sounds like you are doing fine, just becareful of RAIN! if rain is likely when you get to the falling over stage i would pull them all. you want to withhold water at the end. if it rains on pulled bulbs that's ok unless they are in a puddle with poor drainage! tom |
Can I piggyback a question? My onions are at the same stage. If I want them to send up seed scapes, should I *keep* watering them? I want to propagate these onions, not eat them. Help? When should I expect seed scapes? |
How did you start those, Patty? From seed? Plants? Sets? Reason it matters is that onions are biennial, and normally (although there are exceptions) flower and set seed the second year. So if you started from seed or new plants, and your onions haven't been stressed, they are unlikely to set seed this year. To grow seed, retain some of the bulbs from this year and replant them. Most places that's done in the fall or very early spring, but I can't speak for your zone. These will bolt early, and send up flower stalks. |
Thanks again for all of the great advice. Gardenlad: What if some of my onions are setting seed? Are they still good to eat? They were planted as sets. |
I started them from seed, and this is their second year. They sent up seed scapes last year (in the first year), but I broke those off to encourage the bulbs to develop. The bulbs were tiny at the time, and I only wanted seed if they made decent bulbs. Now they have made impressive bulbs (second year) but the tops are falling over with no sign of another seed scape. Unfortunately I forget the variety. In terms of getting them to flower, is there a difference between leaving them in the ground, vs pulling them and replanting them in a while? |
p.s. to mamabear - Thank you for letting me piggyback. I promise to start a new thread if I have another question! |
Mamabear: You can eat the onions that have set seed. But eat them first, because they have no keeping ability to speak of. Patty: I have no idea. Only time I have tried for seed was with Amish Bottle onions. I replanted those in the fall. I've no experience at all with leaving them in the ground. |

Understanding the challenges that face all working parents, especially lawyers. -
Eighty percent of Americans experience back pain in their lifetime and this ailment can have serious implications for job security by negatively affecting even the most dedicated employee's ability to go to work. -
401(k) plans can be a powerful tool in promoting financial security in retirement. They are a valuable option for businesses considering a retirement plan, providing benefits to employees and their employers. Employers start a 401(k) for a host of reasons. -
The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) requires that fiduciaries of employee benefit plans administer and manage their plans prudently and in the interest of the plan's participants and beneficiaries. In carrying out these responsibilities, plan fiduciaries often rely heavily on pension consultants and other professionals for help. Findings included in a report by the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission released in May 2005, however, raise serious questions concerning whether some pension consultants are fully disclosing potential conflicts of interest that may affect the objectivity of the advice they are providing to their pension plan clients. -
This booklet addresses the scope of ERISA's protections for private-sector retirement plans (public-sector plans and plans sponsored by churches are not covered by ERISA). It provides a simplified explanation of the law and regulations. It is not a legal interpretation of ERISA, nor is it intended to be a substitute for the advice of a retirement plan professional. Also, the booklet does not cover those provisions of the Federal tax law related to retirement plans. -
The Federal law governing private-sector retirement plans, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), requires that those responsible for managing retirement plans -- referred to as fiduciaries -- carry out their responsibilities prudently and solely in the interest of the plan's participants and beneficiaries. This booklet will help you better understand and evaluate your plan's fees and expenses. -
It's readily apparent to every law firm HR manager. The American workplace is changing. Downsizing and outsourcing have strained the once solid relationship between employers and employees, and created a more mobile, more fluid workforce. -
This article describes conditions for small employee benefit plans (generally those with fewer than 100 participants) and the small pension plan audit waiver regulation. -
To assist business owners in carrying out their responsibilities under ERISA, the Employee Benefits Security Administration has prepared the following tips which may be a helpful starting point when selecting an employee benefit plan service provider. -
If your employee benefit plan is required to have an audit, one of the most important duties of the plan administrator is to hire an independent qualified public accountant. The sponsor of the plan is the plan administrator under the law unless another individual or entity is specifically designated to assume this responsibility. The following material will assist you, as plan administrator, in selecting an auditor and reviewing the audit work and report. -
A payroll deduction individual retirement account (IRA) is an easy way for businesses to give employees an opportunity to save for retirement. The employer sets up the payroll deduction IRA program with a bank, insurance company or other financial institution, and then the employees choose whether and how much they want deducted from their paychecks and deposited into the IRA. -
Congress passed the landmark Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) health benefit provisions in 1986. The law amends the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, the Internal Revenue Code and the Public Health Service Act to provide continuation of group health coverage that otherwise might be terminated. COBRA provides certain former employees, retirees, spouses, former spouses, and dependent children the right to temporary continuation of health coverage at group rates. -
Small business owners who want to provide health insurance for themselves, their families and their employees have a new program to help. The Health Savings Account, signed into law by President George W. Bush in December 2003, offers small business owners and employees what they need from health coverage: affordability, portability and freedom.

The recent December ADP private payroll and Federal report suggests that there is a revival in construction jobs. While the data showed that the increase could be attributed to the rebuilding after the typhoon Sandy, this is the seventh month in a row for additions to constructions. Since February 2006, the sector has added 39,000 jobs.
This means that there are many good prospects going on this sector. A consecutive job increase in seven months means that majority of the construction companies are expecting strong profits going forward. There are many subsectors in the construction including manufactured housing and recreational vehicles, paint and housing supplies related products and building products.
The thing with housing suppliers is that when the economy picks up, consumers are expected to ramp up their spending on their houses. Our strong pick in the sector is Patrick Industries (NASDAQ: PATK). The company has a $178.17 million market cap and a leading supplier of building products and materials. Aside from that, it also supplies to other industrial markets like kitchen cabinet, household furniture, retail fixtures and commercial furnishings.
Its 9-month financial results confirm our theories that the industry is on its way to making full market recovery. Net sales for the period amounted to $331.2 million, or an increase of 44.3%. The robust growth is attributed to the company's recreational and manufactured segment, as well as the acquisitions completed in 2011 and 2012. The notable acquisitions during the year include Decor Manufacturing, Elkhart, certain assets of Creative Wood Designs and Middlebury Hardwood Products. This translates to net income of $24.9 million, or diluted per share of $2.32. This already surpasses the full year earnings per share consensus forecasts of $2.30.
The last 5 years have not been stellar for the company. Sales have grown slightly by 0.32% for the period. It incurred a loss in 2009 amid tough operating environment in the housing market. However, it reported better than expected financial results in the succeeding year and reversed the prior year's loss. For the next 5 years, analysts expect the company to double its profitability from the current levels due to the expected recovery in the housing market.
At present, valuations appear undemanding. In fact, the market is not optimistic over the company's prospects. With a forward price earnings ratio of 8 times, it means investors do not see any profit growth for the coming years. If you compare its valuation to its historical price earnings ratio band, the current valuation is at the low end range of the band.
The main catalyst for the stock price to move is that the acquisitions it made during the past years will bear fruit. Given its strong balance sheet and access to capital markets, the company remains well positioned to find companies that will expand its product portfolio. This will eventually translate to better valuations in the future.

We've now spent months looking for and deciding about a wall mount, chimney-style, flattish hood. With our quirky needs and layout, these are the manufacturers of the models we've finally narrowed it down to. We're deciding between these three manufacturers (also possibly one hood made by Storch and one by Hafele). Do you own a hood by any of these manufacturers. or do you know anything about any of them? I'd really appreciate any comments or thoughts you have on these brands, or any comparisons between the brands. Thanks much. I am also going to post this over on the Kitchen forum since there are probably different posters there.. |

Crowley Fuel Company has been using the TANK-GUARD program to protect the oil tanks of our enrolled customers for over 30 years with excellent results. Very few of these protected tanks have leaked over the years and, when they did, they were replaced with little or no cost to the customer. This program has an annual fee of $45.75 and the whole process begins with an inspection of your tank to see if it qualifies.
In order to qualify for coverage under the TANK-GUARD program a tank must not have been patched, repaired, or leaking. Underground oil tanks or tanks larger than 330 gallons also cannot be covered.
The TANK-GUARD program has two important components:
It is important to note that the warranty benefit is limited to tank replacement and does not extend to environmental cleanup that may occur as a result of a release of oil.
There is now a law which provides homeowners with the option to buy pollution insurance for their homes which I will explain in my next blog. Until then, have a Happy New Year!
To learn more about protecting your oil tank with Tank-Guard, or to enroll in the program, contact Crowley Fuel or call 508-867-6740.

Eddie Griffin is the comedy equivalent of a funk-soul brother who can do variations on the same stomping, aggressive blues riff for 20 minutes. When he gets hold of a joke in DysFunKtional Family, like his notion that the geniuses of white culture must have been on cocaine, he drives at it from every angle: Here are the Founding Fathers on coke, here's Alexander Graham Bell on coke, here's a concert pianist on coke. At a certain point, you either give up or give in.
I gave in. Griffin's view of the world is based on old Richard Pryor routines as much as it is on his own screwed-up clan, but for every bit that's flatly derivative (e.g., his caricature of black women twitching their butts), there's another that connects, like his impersonation of his junkie uncle's rubbery defiance of gravity. That Griffin tells some of the most intolerant jokes since Andrew Dice Clay should hardly obscure his talent, even if it does tarnish it.

Sign the petition to ensure a safety net against gold diggers.
I am not quite sure what is happening in India as equality appears to have been thrown out of the window. Please read the criticisms of the new clause for the Hindu Marriage Act and Special Marriage Act. The fact remains that when two people get married in a country like India, its impossible to tell whether one party is a gold digger. The phenomena has never been investigated or recognized properly. Since women search out rich men purposely and are more likely to marry them, the impact of this act may well be devastating to the husband. The male salary appears to be the biggest deciding factor in the union between two people in India. A divorce designed to grab the husband's assets is not impossible.
Extract from this You Tube.
IrBM - Irretrievable break down of Marriage, upcoming new clause for divorce Under Hindu Marriage Act and Special Marriage Act, which makes violations Basic Human rights in multiple ways.. This bill is a clear violation of article 1,article 7, Article 16 of Universal Declaration of Human rights.
Some of the silent features of this new divorce law
1. The bill has provisions for wife to oppose the divorce on grounds of "Financial Hardship", however, husband does not have the same right.
2. Under the guise of "Financial Hardship", husband's property will be given to wife.
3. However, wife's property won't be considered.
4. The bill does not give any significance to various factors like duration of marriage, contribution of wife towards building the property while dividing it.
5. The bill does not respect pre-nuptials like western countries.
6. The bill also talks of diving ancestral, inherited and inheritable property of husband in which wife would have provided no contribution towards building it.
7. The bill is also silent on the status/stature of other matrimonial sections like 498A IPC, Domestic Violence Act, Section 125 CrPC, if already filed by the wife on the husband.
8. The bill does not guarantee either immunity or automatic closure of other litigation, as mentioned above, should divorce be granted under the new ground.
9. The bill does not contain any safeguards for husband from false cases but does guarantee that he will lose his hard-earned property.
10. The bill provides provision for quick divorce with wife getting a lot to gain by breaking the marriage.

Hi guys—I'm Jon.
As the title implies, I am a completely new player—not just to the Lord of the Rings LCG but to card games in general. The last card game I played w/ any frequency was Magic: the Gathering and I haven't played that since about 2004. What's more, I am mostly new to the entire concept of coop gaming on this level (I break out Forbidden Island/Pandemic on occasion, and I have played in tabletop RPGs, but this is a very different experience). To be honest, being rather indifferent to Tolkien and not experienced in the gaming genre, I probably wouldn't have picked up the game in the first place if I had just seen it on a game store's shelf.
But, as luck would have it, I won a copy of the core set/first cycle of expansions in a raffle @ my local game store. It was cool, and exciting to win, but I honestly didn't care much about the prize. But I was bored when I got home so I cracked it open and flipped through the rule book while listening to some music. And then I turned tho the first page and started reading w/ more interest. And then I read it again because the system was so interesting.
As I read through the phases and glanced through the cards, those old MTG juices started flowing and I started to break apart the starting decks and rebuild them @ the 50 card "tournament" size. I didn't know what I was doing (and, w/ a grand total of ONE game under my belt, I really still don't) but deck building was always better than half of the fun of Magic and I was having fun pouring over the cards and finding the synergies and building clever little tricks.
That was Thursday, and after taking some time this weekend to teach the rules to my girlfriend (the owner of the game store suggested that the game is much more fun w/ 2+ people) we just tried out our first game. And I am totally hooked.
So here I am. I plan on using this thread over the next several weeks as a kind of hub where I can ask questions, give my opinions on the game/quest scenarios as I tackle them, get some much needed deck building advice and generally just learn more about a game I have decided to invest my time in (and money—I have already gone out and bought the next set of expansions).
I know personally I always love to get a fresh perspective on something I enjoy and I know as a new player I would love to get any pointers from you more experienced veterans. I am here to learn from the masters Though, I would prefer if you guys keep narrative spoilers to a minimum in this thread
As I have only completed the "tutorial"quest @ this point, I will be pretty brief w/ my thoughts.
Quest: Passage Through Mirkwood
I really enjoyed this quest (though I suppose I don't have much to compare it to).
The first thing that stood out to me was the amazing art on the "Forest Spider" card. Creepy, but SO good. The flavor text on several of the cards was also awesome and went a long way on selling me on the setting. Like I said, I am not a huge Tolkien fan but I am totally buying into the world here as I follow along w/ the quest narrative. Love it.
As for the encounter itself, I had a great time and me and my girlfriend were able to defeat Ungoliant Spawn to complete the quest. I will say that for a tutorial quest (w/ a difficulty rating of one), we were surprised by just how hard that final encounter was as we pulled Ungoliant Spawn just before having to draw 2 more spiders from the encounter deck for the last stage of the quest, by which point we had 2 characters caught in a web. That things a monster!
We were using leadership/tactics and mono-spirit (to be able to both quest and fight):
Tactics: Boromir/Elrohir/Eladan (pretty sure all of those are misspelled)
Spirit: Dunhere/Eleanor/Eowyn
Any suggestions on a better hero setup for the core scenarios? Or does it vary from quest to quest? Are we just that bad ?
I did have one question regarding set-up (and forgive my newb-ness): At the beginning of the quest I began w/ Forest Spider and The Old Forest Road in the staging area. Would I then draw 2 MORE cards from the encounter deck at the beginning of the first quest phase? Or just on all subsequent turns? We drew the extra cards when we played, but it was pretty tough starting w/ 3 enemies in the staging area—did we just have bad luck?
Anyway, I hope this is the beginning of a lot of great discussion. And if you guys have any questions for me—please feel free to ask.
And thanks in advance for all the help you are sure to give

Pilots are subject to varying levels of stress, workload, and fatigue during long flights. During different phases of a commercial flight, pilots are engaged in multiple tasks which include going through checklists, checking conditions at their destination, communicating with Air Traffic Control and dealing with other flight related tasks. The amount of work varies from the earlier stages until the end of the flight. It is not well understood how changes in the amount of workload can affect a pilot's ability to engage with important tasks that relate to safety of flight. The work shown in this thesis focused on the level of engagement displayed by flight crew as a function of level of workload. The principal hypothesis was that very low levels of workload may lead to crew disengagement and sub-optimal levels of performance. The degree to which pilots remain alert and are fatigued during a commercial flight is also not established in a concrete way.

I have this stronghold fully upgraded, however, the building itself hasn't changed in appearance. As a result, whenever I select an aircraft from the helipad option via the crib, I end up several hundred feet in the air where the helipad for the fully upgraded stronghold is supposed to be. Anyone else have this problem?
I also want to mention some other problems I've ran into recently. None of my homies will attack anyone. They just follow me around, point their guns, but never fire. Regular gang members have no issue.
Occasionally the garage won't load anything, no matter how many cars I have in it. It'll just kick me out of the menu. Waiting about 5-10 seconds before using the garage again let's me use it normally.
While in full screen, alt-tabbing renders the game unresponsive, where I must shut the game down from the task manager and boot it up again.
The game will sometimes randomly freeze for about 5 seconds, then either continue to run or just reman frozen, in which I have to shut the game down from the task manager and restart. However the crash rarely happens, and the game usually continues to run normally.
The game will sometimes render my Xbox 360 controller unresponive, resulting in me having to reconnect it. Also, it may or may not be related to the controller, but occasionally my aiming view will reset and center itself on the horizon in an instant.
Encountered some random ragdoll errors, where my character assumes a "default" model pose. it usually happens when I'm moving against objects or on bumpy terrain.
This is a great game, but plagued with a ton of performance issues and bugs. Hope these get resolved soon.
Yes, I have same problem with the 3 Count stronghold.
Also lights on the back of the Manapult wont light up correctly to indicate free/loaded slots.
Wow. Just checked out the 3 Count stronghold just now and noticed that glitch too. Must have been like that for awhile now for me and I nver noticed.
My problem is the opposite! I started a new game for co-op, but all the bridges are open, the stag ship is broken and the strongholds are already fully upgraded. And I'm not even halfway through the game yet...
Which results in problems with doing the stronghold missions! I end up on the roof, or in the air and can't get anywhere near the mission marker. So I can't complete these missions without joining someone else his game, who just happens to be at the same part of the game =[
3 count stronghold is ok for me but Mr burnts one is not. It is fully upgraded but it is looks like I made only second upgrade option.
Well it's happen 2 times for me.
I fix the problem with restart/replay game from the first mission until last....
Then this **** coming back again...
It's No matter how many time you remove your all game save and restart game from the first misson
(( stronghold bug will come back))
i don't want to restart game anymore. Please fix the problem ( i play saint row with playstation 3)
THIS IS THE VIDEO LINK (it's from pc but yep Ps3/xbox 360 have same problem too.
Sorry for my bad english.

I've never had the opportunity to drive an X5 xDrive30i (that's German marketing-speak for the gasoline six-cylinder version), but I'd say upgrading to this diesel is a no-brainer. For about $4000 more -- a surcharge you'll likely get back in tax rebates and fuel savings -- you have a markedly more powerful, more efficient vehicle. Like all the modern diesels we've sampled from German automakers of late, this 3.0-liter has no obvious drawbacks compared with a typical gasoline engine. There's no hesitation, no smell, no cement-truck noises. All you notice is a slightly different mechanical sound.

With so may factors impacting the making of great wine, growing conditions of the grapes stands out as one of the more important. In my mission to help you identify wines you like and why, a short lesson on the conditions and flavors of high altitude wines, or the mountain wine growing that precedes it, is helpful. And, it sure is a lot of fun to learn about.
A few weeks ago, I had the great pleasure of learning about the topic when the crew from Stonestreet Wines, an Alexander Mountain Estate in Sonoma, paid a visit to Chicago. Informative winemaker since 2004 Graham Weerts along with energetic and knowledgeable Director of Wine Education Gilian Handelman presented a small group of us wine folks with an opportunity, via a blind tasting, to identify a common thread across high altitude wines spanning the globe.
What makes these wines distinctly different from other wines in their respective regions and other wines in general? It's a combination of the weather conditions and environment, along with various factors in the winemaker process. In the Alexander Valley, on the slopes of the Mayacamas Mountain, the high elevations, volcanic soils and a fog that rolls in off the coast deliver unique conditions for these Stonestreet wines. While, generally speaking, temperatures cool as we climb in elevation, here the maritime breezes causes an inversion of this phenomenon. At these higher altitude in this Sonoma county area, it's actually warmer at night due to fog cover. This impact the ripening process of the grapes and they in turn, develop into full ripe grapes. Up these arid mountains there's also less disease pressure. The dryness keep the vines from growing molds that impact grapes and in turn, the wine flavors.
In terms of weather, grapes grown mountain side not only have the benefit of that fog, they also have quicker run-off of rainfall which keep the grapes from becoming diluted. Flavors are actually intensified. The environment/ecology also contributes an entirely different range of influences and flavors. The flora and fauna up the mountains, as we all know from hiking, skiing or just touring, is distinctly different with more herbal and evergreen notes. These hints come through in the wine, giving more herbaceous aromas and flavors.
For this fun blind tasting, we tasting wines form the following mountainous regions;
- 2012 Gruner Veltliner, Weingut Prager, Wachau Austria
- 2011 Etna Rosso DOC, Tenuta Delleterre Nere , Sicily, Italy
- 2011 Finca Dofi, Alvaro Palacios, Priorato, Spain
- 2010 Stonestreet Rockfall Cabernet Sauvignon, Sonoma, California
- 2008 Chave Hermitage, Rhone Valley, France
- 2011 Stonesteet Upper Barn Chardonnay, Sonoma California
The comparative tasting was amazing and together we arrived at a consensus in this very interactive tasting. We all basically agreed that there's undeniably a common thread of herbaceous aromas, notes of green gage, even under-ripe veggies. On the finish the wines were extremely well balanced , a nod to the payoff of growing in high altitude regions, despite the arduous work involved..
This is one experience that I'd say certainly try at home…don't even hesitate. If you have a wine group or just friends who like to taste and learn together, put the high elevation wine category on your list. It's amazing how you can taste and smell that fresh mountain air in each sip.
A big thanks to fellow sommelier and wine consultant Bonnie Graves for reaching out to our Chicago crowd for this event.

Finished just the shower portion of our master bathroom. Will be attacking remainder of bathroom in a year or so. Thanks to everyone for all the great advice! Wall tile is 12x24 Eleganza with Schluter profiles and black slate inserts. Floor tile is 2x2 mosaics from Daltile. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Nice!!!! |
- Posted by numbersjunkie (My Page) on Tue, Aug 7, 12 at 14:20
Elegant! Very nice tile work. How did you do the thick piece at the top? |
numbersjunkie: Not sure which thick piece you are referring to. The top and bottom horizontal pieces are Schluter Designline 1" wide metal profile. The tilesetter installed them between the porcelain wall tiles. The darker 3" wide strip in the middle is black slate. |
- Posted by treasuretheday (My Page) on Tue, Aug 7, 12 at 18:42
Very, very nice! |
- Posted by numbersjunkie (My Page) on Tue, Aug 7, 12 at 18:47
OK I see now. At first it looked like the top row of tile was thicker than the rest. I thought it looked nice. But now I see its a metal strip. looks great! |
Beautiful. extremely clean lines. Show us the rest... |
pharaoh: That's about all there is to show unless you want to see the rest of the bathroom which is outdated and will be redone in a year or two. Thanks for the comment about the clean lines -- we were hoping to achieve a clean, modern look, and I made sure the tilesetter knew what we were going for. Grout lines between the 12x24 porcelain are 1/16", and 1/8" in the floor since the mosaics were already connected to each other. |

Not getting any easier for GLRU.
November 5, 2012 in Uncategorized
Supersport.com is reporting that:
Suspended Golden Lions coach John Mitchell has come out fighting to be reinstated as head coach of the Lions again, after he apparently was cleared of misconduct by an independent inquiry.
Mitchell's management company, the Fordham Company, released a statement claiming Mitchell had been found not guilty of "various charges of misconduct levelled against him by the GLRU, with a further six charges having been withdrawn by the Johannesburg-based club."
"Even though John has been cleared of these particular allegations, the GLRU, through its lawyers, is not prepared to release details to John or his lawyers," Mitchell's management, The Fordham Company, said on Monday.
"That's pretty amazing considering the damage that this action taken by the GLRU has done to John's reputation and brand. Furthermore, the GLRU's lawyers have advised John's lawyers that they are not prepared to release the findings and recommendations pertaining to the remaining nine charges brought against John unless John agrees to sign a confidentiality undertaking. One would have to question why this information is being withheld"
GLRU has not had the best of years. Not that it is all their fault. But they have lost Super Rugby status for 2013. Lost arbitration cases against their affiliate unions and now have lost their misconduct case against their own head coach John Mitchell.
Mitchell was vehemently praised at the end of 2011 for bringing the CC back to Jburg for the first time in ages. He turned around a disastrous few coaching tenors to make the Lions into the tittle contending team that they now are/were?
He and the Lions did not have a good SR2012 campaign. His team was hit by a plethora of injuries and if we are honest they were just a bit inexperienced to deal with all those injuries.
At the end of the S15 Mitchell was accused firstly of abusing players (allegedly) and bringing the GLRU into disrepute due to remarks in the media. He was suspended.
Now with Mitchell being found not guilty it really makes things a lot more difficult for the Lions. They have had Johan Ackerman as interim coach and he has done well with all the controversy surrounding the Lions. He was rumored to be a shoe in for the job. The GLRU has also advertised the post as head coach for Lions.
John himself said that he would like to continue as head coach at the Lions. But one wonders how this would work with communication and working relationship between himself and the GLRU administrators not at any great footing. And how would the players who brought charges against him feel if they are still there.
The only other viable option seems to be for the GLRU is to buy out the remainder of his contract.( Although one never know what lawyers can conjure up if they want a contract terminated. ) That said I am not sure whether the Lions can afford to pay out Mitchell with them not having the most sound financial status on top of losing SR status.
It will be interesting to see what happens. But even the most staunch Lions supporter would have to agree that it looks like the GLRU has not done themselves any favors by suspending Mitchell without any real cause. Because now the troubled rugby union is even further humiliated in the media by Mitchel's reps.
Will the admin of the GLRU be made to eat humble pie by re-instating Mitchell or will they find a way to save face?
I am not sure but one feels for the Lions rugby supporters who have not had any real positive news in a long time and who would have liked for this issue to be done and dusted by now so that the Lions can concentrate on their most important job: beating their opponents in pro/releg match in 2013.
Update: It looks like Mitchell was indeed busy looking for work in EU. And his lawyers says this is not against his contract relegation's. And that he might still opt to go to EU. So maybe this "I want my job back" is a bluff from Mitchell to show the Lions he would not mind getting his job back and force the Lions into a golden hand shake. Either way it will cost the Lions plenty.

With the snow on its way, how can I make sure my children have fun outside while still playing safely? With everything from sledding to snowshoeing, playing in the snow can be one of the best parts of winter. In order to make sure your family is able to experience all that winter sports have to offer, it is important to follow a few simple precautions.
The first step to ensuring a safe and fun outdoor experience is to keep warm. When helping your child dress for the outdoors, it is best to layer clothing. Begin with an undergarment made of synthetic fiber (cotton should be avoided), followed by a light shirt or turtleneck. Add a fleece or sweater and waterproof pants, and finish the outfit with a warm jacket, scarf and hat. Thick mittens or gloves, waterproof boots and wool socks will help to prevent frostbite. It is key to remind your child that even if they are having a great time sledding, it is important to come inside when they begin to feel cold. They should also be told to watch out for frostnip, an early sign of frostbite, which leaves the skin white and numb. If your child does have frostnip, immerse the body part in warm water. If they have frostbite (fingers, toes, noses and cheeks are the most commonly affected areas), immediately take them to the nearest emergency room. Aside from frostbite, the clothing your child wears will reduce the chance of other health ailments such as hypothermia and respiratory illnesses, which are highly prevalent during the winter months. Along with wearing the right clothing, it is also important to apply sunscreen because the bright white snow can reflect up to 85 percent of the sun's ultraviolet rays. Activities like ice-skating, sledding, snowboarding and skiing cause most winter accidents, and often it is children who get hurt. Depending on your child's planned activity, various protective gear may be required. Whether they are sledding, skiing, snowboarding or skating, a helmet is very important. Helmets can vary depending on the sport, so it is a good idea to speak with a sporting instructor or sporting good store employee on the best option for your child. Kneepads, wrist guards and shin guards should also be worn. Skiing and snowboarding have become more popular among young children. Before hitting the slopes or bunny hills, parents should make sure their child is ready. If your child is interested in participating in these exciting sports, it is best to enroll them in an instructional course. Because these activities can result in many spills, make sure your child is wearing the correct size ski/snowboarding boots because ankle and leg mobility is very important. Winter can be a great time for outdoor play for both children and adults. By following these precautions, you can ensure your family has many exciting, warm memories of chilly snow days.

Bhavya is an organization run by The Bhavya Trust, which is a charitable trust. We are a group of individuals with a strong belief in the need for humanizing childhood and education.
Vision Statement
The Bhavya program as it is practiced today, is based on the belief that there is a natural plan of growth in the Universe which is timeless and without fault. As a human race, our only hope for peace depends upon how closely our own lives move in rhythm with this Universal plan. The more we move in rhythm with this plan, the more the peace and satisfaction that we experience in our lives.
We are deeply concerned about the serious threat posed to the normal development of children by a stultifying and greatly limiting view of childhood and education which is widely prevalent, today. We believe life is an education and that learning is an essential outcome of living and growing. We, therefore, work towards providing children with an open environment where living, growing and learning are nurtured in a natural and healthy manner.
We come with varied experiences. Interestingly, each one of us in our own personal journeys has been moving towards similar realizations. We have come together as a group with a common understanding that it takes courage to question ourselves, our own motives, our thinking and everything we do. It is in this questioning, we believe, that we really set ourselves free.
