Rockies offer Fuentes arbitration
Posted By Troy E. Renck On December 1, 2008 @ 5:52 pm In Rockies on Deck | No Comments
Brian Fuentes' Rockies career will close out with a salary offer, not a save.
In order to receive two compensatory draft picks next June, the Rockies, as expected, offered their most accomplished closer ever salary arbitration Monday, according to a team spokesman.
This was long the plan after the Rockies rebuffed trade offers last July, feeling the proposals were no better than the potential draft picks. When Fuentes signs elsewhere – he plans to meet with Mets' officials either in Las Vegas next week at the winter meetings or in New York later on – the Rockies will get two additional picks in the top 50.
If the team he signs with drafts in the second half of the first round, like the Mets for instance, the Rockies would receive the 25th pick overall plus a sandwich pick prior to the second round.
Fuentes has until Sunday to accept the Rockies' offer. Agent Rick Thurman ruled out a return to the Rockies this winter given the interest and potential multi-year deals available from the Mets, Angels, Tigers, Indians and Cardinals, among others.

William Alvin Wick, Jr. Pleads Guilty in U.S. Federal Cour
Bill Mercer, United States Attorney for the District of Montana, announced today that during a federal court session in Billings on December 4, 2009, before Chief U.S. District Judge Richard F. Cebull, WILLIAM ALVIN WICK, JR., a 28-year-old resident of Lame Deer, pled guilty to aggravated sexual abuse. Sentencing is set for March 11, 2010. He is currently detained.
In an Offer of Proof filed by Assistant U.S. Attorney Lori Harper Suek, the government stated it would have proved at trial the following:
On the evening of November 17, 2007, WICK, Ron Oneida Whiteman, another male individual, and a juvenile male were driving around Lame Deer on the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation drinking. The group saw the victim walking down the street and decided to pick her up, WICK was driving. The victim was staggering as she walked, because she was drunk. She got into the car with the men and sat in the back between Whiteman and the other adult male. They then bought more alcohol - vodka - and continued to drive around Lame Deer.
Whiteman and the other male individual made sexual advances toward the victim. WICK then drove to a remote area in the hills where Whiteman took off the victim's pants and then raped her in the backseat.
After that rape, Whiteman took her out of the car and took off the rest of her clothes. She fell to the ground because she was too drunk to stand. Whiteman tried to force her to perform oral sex, but she resisted. The men placed her on the hood of the car, naked, and WICK and the other individual held her arms down as Whiteman raped her again. Whiteman then threw her to the ground and the other individual tried to rape her but could not get an erection. Whiteman and WICK put her on the hood again and WICK tried to rape her but could not get an erection, so he inserted his fingers into her vagina.
Following the assaults on the hood of the car, Whiteman and the other individual carried her to the trunk. Before they put her in the trunk, naked, the juvenile raped her again while she was held by Whiteman and the adult male in a bent-over position. She pleaded with the men not to put her in the trunk to no avail. They drove around with her in the trunk drinking whiskey until she was rescued from the trunk of the car by the police. The victim had extensive bruising on her legs, thighs, buttocks, arms and chest, and lacerations and abrasions on her body.
The victim has very little memory of what happened to her. She was drinking at home on November 17, 2007. She was drunk and she left her home at some point to walk to downtown Lame Deer. She then remembers a man telling her to perform oral sex and then her head was grabbed and the man was trying to force her mouth to his penis. She remembers WICK, who she knew because she was related to him by marriage, laughing at her as she told him to leave her alone. Then the trunk closed. She remembers being in the trunk of the car, and screaming and asking the men to leave her alone. She also remembers hearing WICK laughing and talking while she was in the trunk.
The victim was taken to the hospital for treatment and a sexual assault examination was performed. Swabs were taken from the hood of the car and from the trunk. DNA testing confirmed that the victim's blood was on the hood and on the door of the trunk.
WICK provided two recorded statements. During the second statement, WICK admitted that he tried to have sexual intercourse with the victim but was unable to get an erection, so he stuck his fingers into her vagina. These acts occurred on the hood of the car. He admitted that he knew the victim was in the trunk of the car and that he drove around with her while she was in the trunk.
WICK faces possible penalties of life in prison, a $250,000 fine and lifetime supervision.
Whiteman pled guilty to federal charges and has been sentenced.
The investigation was a cooperative effort between the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
A copy of the Offer of Proof can be obtained by contacting Sally Frank at (406) 247-4638.

I have a merino wool argyle sweater with a small stain on the front that I believe is ink. I have no idea what kind of ink it is. It's very small.
Does anyone have any treatments for getting an ink stain off wool? The argyle is cream and tan, and the stain is on the tan section, right on the line. Thanks. |

If it is ballpoint ink, denatured alcohol will melt it but then you have to clean it off with a cleaning agent of some kind right away. I think I would try some cold water and a dab of soap on the spot. Even use a spot treatment. Or you can take it to the drycleaners. |

I forgot to say that hair spray will do the trick as it has denatured alcohol in it. |

Check out the view from this living room! This luxurious, 3 bedroom, 3 bath end unit, with a large wrapped balcony, directly overlooks the emerald green waters and the World's Most Beautiful Beach. The floors are all tile and hardwood in this 1565 square foot condominium. The large LIVING ROOM has sliding glass doors on the front and east side. It was completely remodeled in the fall of 2012, with a comfortable, large sectional leather sofa and leather armchair. The beautiful décor and incredible views will make you want to stay forever! Kick back and watch the 40" flat screen TV with numerous cable channels, including free HBO. Obviously there's a remote that can switch channels from anywhere in the room. And there's a DVD player so you can watch your favorite movies. Logon to the wireless internet – the service is free! - and see what band is playing at Tootsie's Orchid Lounge. Walk out onto the spacious balcony and enjoy a spectacular view of the beach and the gulf with floor to ceiling sliding doors on the front AND side. Relax and listen to the waves, or have breakfast on the balcony while you make plans for the day. See who can spot the dolphins first on their morning swim. Or take a nap on one of the 2 loungers just waiting for you! The MASTER BEDROOM features a really comfortable king size bed and private bath. It received new linens and window treatments in the fall of 2012, along with a new dresser for a ton of storage. Like the living room, it has been remodeled to give a beachy - we're on vacation now - feel! You'll wake up in the morning to great views of the beach where, once again, you can walk out onto the balcony. There's another 40" flat screen TV with a DVD player and all the channels that you get in the living room. There's plenty of space in the HUGE walk-in closet. The private master bath has 2 sinks, an oversized garden tub, and a separate shower with bench. The SECOND BEDROOM is bright and cheery, with a comfortable Queen size bed and plenty of closet space for everything you've brought to the beach. This large bedroom is a great hideaway - catch up on your favorite book, watch cable on the 27" flat screen TV, or pop in that movie you never caught at the theatre. Check out the large window above the bed, facing east. The 2nd bathroom is private. The THIRD BEDROOM is pretty and comfortable, with a queen size bed, a 32" flat screen TV, and it's own large closet. The shared 3rd bathroom, right around the corner, is a FULL BATH as well. The open gourmet KITCHEN has a ton of light, and has great views all around. It has beautiful granite counter tops with attractive cabinets and appliances. The bar is enormous, and check out the new glass tile! Whether it's for coffee and frozen waffles, warming up leftovers from Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville, or your own version of fettuccini alfredo (with shrimp from the local seafood market!) – you've got the dishes, pots and pans, and utensils you'll need. Bar seating makes it easy for everyone to grab a quick snack or a full meal, and the bar is a great place to serve appetizers and cocktails. The DINING AREA comfortably seats four, plus 3 bar stools (with backs!) so the family can share meals, talk about the 'one that got away' while fishing off the Dan Russell Pier, and plan tomorrow's excursion. (Shell Island, anyone?) There is a large window facing east in the dining area. The LAUNDRY has a full size washer and dryer, for all those shorts, swimsuits, beach towels, and ball uniforms. The 3 bedrooms allow this fantastic condominium to sleep 6 comfortably. There are 3 full baths. Like all of our Sunrise Beach Resort condominiums, it comes with FREE BEACH CHAIR SERVICE! (March 1 – October 31) STANDARD RATES
Minimum number of required nights must be met on all daily rentals. Weekly and monthly rates are ALL-INCLUSIVE (no additional charge for tax and cleaning fees). Daily rates add a taxable cleaning fee. Until confirmed, rates are subject to change without notice. |

In light of the recent uproar of Facebook tweaking users' feeds to show them customized News Feeds in the name of social experimentation, I've (belatedly) realized something - you know that thing when you load Facebook on your computer or phone and you glimpse a news item that piques your interest, only to have the feed instantly shuffle itself to what you're "supposed" to be seeing, and that news item you wanted is now gone, and you can't even go looking for it because you didn't catch the name of whomever posted it?…

Composer Nico Muhly: Think staccato: conductorland:
Nico Muhly's sentences splinter, his speech fast and fractured. The composer might touch on the practice of diary-keeping among people in the Mormon Church, the history of polygamy in the United States or TLC reality shows. And then – boom – it's on to another idea, with a few short-circuited starts and maybe an out-there joke that makes one wonder how, exactly, his brain is wired. "Anyway, what was I saying? What were you saying? What was the question?" he said following a rant about record stores, among other topics, in an interview earlier this year. Mr. Muhly, who lives in Manhattan, has written music for organizations and artists such as the Metropolitan Opera, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, violinist Hilary Hahn, visual artist Maira Kalman and choreographer Benjamin Millepied.
"Knowing how to read, and knowing how to interpret and knowing how to write critically are so connected to writing music – and being able to think about music effortlessly and as a language, rather than as this tortured botany," he said. "A lot of people…think it's like you have to go into the woods and make this kind of magical mushroom soup."

David Lang Wants to Be More Superficial: conductorland:
The Bang On A Can co-founder talks about his new album, the challenges of his students' generation, and finding new ways of listening.
"Maybe because I was originally supposed to go to medical school, I hate the notion that writing music is about sitting around and being kissed by the muse. It's not. We composers work hard and take our jobs seriously. We're working musicians out in the world, professionals who are supposed to accomplish something specific, even if that task is emotional or spiritual. Composers are problem solvers."

This reminds me of our local mattress company that has bought tv ads to say that any mattress 6 or 8 years old is full of absorbed body moisture that has doubled the mattress weight and full of bug mites that attack you as you sleep. Buy our new mattresses! And it also reminds me of the spice companies that say to throw out your herbs and spices every year and buy new ones. |

We haven't had a dishwasher for over 20 years and rarely do we get sick. We also stay home a lot and aren't exposed to a lot of germy people, so that might be why. :) |

I almost never get sick, literally have not been to a doctor in over 8 years...I really do not spend any time worrying about germs. I squirt some dish liquid on a scrubby and scrub the dish and rinse. We do not stay home and we are exposed to many "germy people" and germy animals too! LMAO! |
I DO believe that dishwashers, with HIGH water temps, do kill a lot of nasties. On the other hand, I didn't have a dishwasher until my 4 kids were 8-18 yrs. old and nobody got an E. Coli or Salmonella infection. I still handwash the good plates I use for holidays and no one has gotten sick after a meal for 30 years. Hmmmm |

I think really hot water is important too. I just bought a new dishwasher and bought a "turbo wash" but I keep my water hot enough that you can't keep your hand in it...every one complains...but I don't understand why you wouldn't want it scalding hot... |

Well my dishwasher would come closer to killing you. The stuff comes out worse than it went in, which is why I never use it. I would never own another Kenmore ever, and it's one of the top of the line models maybe 4 yrs old. I detest it. My water is scalding hot and I hand wash every thing. I want my wonderful Kitchenaid from my previous home. Germs are everywhere, I worked in a sterile environment in the lab and even in there we would have a contamination on occasion and believe me the sterile protocol was intense. It will make you become a bit ocd about hand washing and what you touch. But you can't expect to live life in a sterile environment. I lived a great deal of time in one for many years daily and it's not a real fun place. |
I work as a cook in a child care center, and wash the dishes by hand, but then they go through a VERY hot water sanitizing machine. Much like a dishwasher, but without the wash cycle. |
Dorothy, don't worry about it. It's nice, that you think of us, we just don't buy in to the hype. Moni |
My dishwasher cleans everything including greasy car parts, the bird feeders, garden tools, whatever needs cleaning. But then he washes his hands really good before starting the dishes. We rarely get the usual nasties that are passed around. |

Doesn't fear based drama post plus brand name dropping indicate Spam? I'm not here often enough to recognise the posters name. Anyway, if we have to seriously worry about death by dishes I suppose there is no reason to get out of bed. Anyone heard of North Korea?? Lol |

Actually even sanitary certified dishwashers have been found to not clean all microscopic germs away. there are so many ways for germs to invade that saying sanitized is now a catch phrase at best. EVEN autoclaves don't do 100% w certain germs as recently found at NIH, to their own shock, as well as the deaths of several patients! Chlorine gas & super concentrated hydrogen peroxide are about all that still kills 100% and that is only in lab conditions w lab quality. there are sooo sooo many ways for germs to evade our efforts that lately researchers are finding many of the tried and true ways of sterilization are not 100% anymore. evolution at it's best! all of the preventive measures people try to take on really only add to the likelihood that they are adding to that very germs' ability to build it's resistances up to what you are trying to use as a weapon. some of the recent deaths' in hospitals ie NIH, are being contributed to the impervious coating evolutionized to beat autoclaves, sanitizing sprays (hand gels) & soaps etc...along w the germs ability to survive all known currently prescribed antibiotics there are no treatments nor preventions left for some germs. the NIH had a couple of cases treated w an antibiotic from the 50's that were banned because it kills off your kidneys & liver, two survived i think but their organs did not. you can not ever outsmart microbiology & virology...they will be the death of Homo sapien in the end. ~ liz |
Saying HELLO to Dorothy_Oahu! Long time no see! Glad to see you posting. |

OK, Dorothy - you're not spam - you come recommended! In that case, enjoy your dishwasher - I bet if I had an expensive nice one like that I'd be singing the praises of my appliances too. :) |
I do notice the article is on a dishwashers webpage, of course they would play up the "dangers" of hand washing. |
I remember learning in High School that one of the most effective sales technique was FEAR. Dorothy, you played right into their hands and bought it hook, line and sinker! |
My son used to get a lot of infections when he was little. We washed our hands, didn't drink after him, etc., but my daughter and I kept catching whatever he had, too. So I declared a family rule that everything that came out of a kitchen drawer or cabinet must go in the dishwasher. Absolutely no hand washing dishes. My daughter and I quit getting sick. Maybe it was coincidence, but it's nearly 18 years later and we still put nearly everything in the dishwasher. |
You mean that I, who told a while ago of my small ones that hang just below my wrists, who are unenthusiastic enough about washing that they only get motivated to do it a couple of times a week, if one is lucky, have an even greater problem? That when they're through ... my life may be at risk, due to the critters ensconced in the sink?? So ... lacking a manufactured dishwasher, what am I to do ... take the dishes out into the yard - and spray 'em with the garden hose? ole joyful |
You take the dishwasher salesman too seriously. Even tho the dishwasher sprays your dishes with hot water at the force of a fire hose (that's why I will not wash my bone china in my Bosch dishwasher), minute food particles will cling to the innards (hoses, etc). I wash by hand in my stainless steel sink, which gets a rinse of white vinegar poured in it and down the drain after washing. |
I have a 5-year old dishwasher which has never been used. I soak/hand-wash my dishes in very hot water with 1/4 cup of bleach - works for me. |
When you look into the facts of dishwashers, a lot of people have quit using them. Of course there's a place for them, and PROPERLY USED they can be a valuable tool. But therein lies the problem. So many people think they can put them in there, then try to save money by turning down their electric water heaters to the point that Legionella can grow. Then they use that underheated and bacteria-infested water in their dishwasher to splash day-week old food around, not totally unlike a petri dish, and then disable the dryer to save money on the economy cycle and sit in there until the next use. Now anyone who has even basic grade school science background may remember that bacteria grows well in warm, moist surroundings. Hmm. Where would that be? There's a lot of differing opinions out there. I've read many of the arguments on both sides of this and have formed my own opinions. Hand washing properly can be better than machined improperly and vice-versa. But to say you won't get sick using a dishwasher isn't using much common sense but I certainly understand the sales pitch. I haven't had a (mechanical) dishwasher in over 25 years. The doctor visits I've had were primarily for broken bones and other things that certainly were not caused by handwashing dishes. If you like dishwashers, good for you and enjoy using them. Just don't get caught up with all the misinformation that is available on the internet. The internet, like the dishwasher, PROPERLY USED, can be a valuable tool, but there's so much misinformation out there, plus outright lies that believing everything can cause you a lot of trouble. And Dorothy is certainly not spam. A couple seconds of checking, even just looking at a member page should have removed that question. But some just seem to want to... |
A salesman told me hand dishwashing uses a lot more water than an electric DW, especially if you let the tap run for hand-rinsing. |
My dishwasher has a temperature boost button. If we turn down the hot water heater, the dishwasher will heat the water to hot enough. |
If you run your dishwasher after every meal, you will use more water than if you quickly hand wash. If you don't run your dishwasher until it's full - not every day....that storage of dirty dishes in the unused dishwasher is a breeding ground for germs - you save money on your water bill and get more germs in your house. Those germs nest and multply in the minute cracks in non-glazed dishes and glasses as they age. |
Ahhh, preschool... a new germ pool to share... PS. Also, if you have any dishes that have chips in the glaze, toss them as there is a break in the protective glaze. |
Unglazed ceramic is great at soaking up all kinds of stuff. o j |

Well, I didn't mean to start a war here. Just with all the new things and germs floating around now It makes sense to use HOT water. Heck since I'm almost 72 there were a lot of years that I didn't have a dishwasher and I've even been camping as a kid where we sometimes had to use river water to clean the dishes and I'm still alive. I did get a very bad case of dysentery from swimming in Lake Washing when I was a senior in high school. So did a LOT of people that weekend according the the newspaper on Monday. Oops, too late to warn the public. I was hospitalized for 10 days. That's hard to loose that much time in your senior year. But I still graduated in honor society. And yes, I agree the worst years were when I had 2 girls in school. Man, they bring home everything that's going around and I always caught it. My sister-in-law is getting that now that she i babysitting her grandson in preschool. I rarely get a cold or anything now. Today I read about the 5 big stores that will be going out of business soon. But I don't want to start another argument. |

Hand washer. I guess since I grew up watching mama wash dishes it seemed like the best way to do it? In any case, I'm not leery of hand washed dishes. On the other hand I'm not leery of dishwasher washed dishes either. lol |

I'd love to see some stationary weapons like heavy machine guns and light artillery--like in Half-Life. You would then have localized battles over control of say a key machine gun nest that was located in a neutral spot. Also, you would place the ammo away from the weapon, and have to go get it when you ran out, or have teammates bring it to you. You'd get a great advantage for a little while if the weapon covered a wide area, but your ammo would be limited, and your teammates would have to fight their way back to get you the ammo, and meanwhile you'd have to fight to keep control of the point.

Oh and in addition,
a= 12,
b= 2/15.
"S(x) = bracket (piecewise function)
a + b arcsin*(tan x/tan 66) for 0 ≤ x < 66
24 for 66 ≤ x ≤ 90. Given a=12, b=2/15.
Is the function differentiable? Why or why not?"
I suppose this is the number of hours of sunshine where x is the latitude in degrees during solstice (summer or winter). I have not checked the validity of the equation.
Yes, your teacher is right, the function is not differentiable, but only at x=66.
Recall that the conditions for differentiability are:
1. the function must be continuous. This condition is satisfied throughout the domain 0≤x≤90, notably even at x≥66.
2. The derivative must exist at all points of the domain [0,90]. This is true.
For [0,66),
f(x)=a + b arcsin*(tan x/tan 66), and
f'(x)=(2*sec((π*x)/180)^2)/(15*tan((11*π)/30)*sqrt(1-tan((π*x)/180)^2/tan((11*π)/30)^2)) ...(1)
For [66,90], f'(x)=0.
3. For every point c on the domain,
the derivative from the left must equal the derivative from the right, and equal to the derivative at the point c, or
This condition is not satisfied at c=66.
To calculate the derivative from the left, we resort to equation (1), which gives the derivative as x->66- to be ∞. As an example, the derivative at 65.999 evaluates to 37.
The derivative at c, and to the right of c is 0.
Therefore the function is not differentiable at x=66.
Ohh, I understand now! Thank you SO much. Your explanation was clear as day, and I cannot tell you just how much I appreciate it.

Retirement Designations and Retirement Bootcamp
I have a new column available from Advisor Perspectives about three of the leading retirement income designations available. This column is geared more toward financial advisors who are thinking to study for a retirement designation and wondering which one to choose, but it could also be useful for consumers to know more about 3 of the more rigorous designations: CRC, RICP, and RMA.
While on the subject of certifications and designations, let me mention the RMA's retirement bootcamp at Salem State University on July 15-19 in Salem, Massachusetts. I attended a few days of last year's event, and it was a really great experience. My plans for this year are to arrive for dinner on Tuesday and leave at the end of the day on Thursday. I'll be speaking on Wednesday afternoon. Last year, this was a truly unique opportunity for enrollees. Six students (one of whom was not a financial planner, but rather just a new retiree who signed up after reading about the course in a Salem State University course catalog), were able to hear lectures and have discussions with (followed by dinners at a very scenic local country club) some of the leading names in the retirement income world, such as Zvi Bodie, Laurence Kotlikoff, Dana Anspach, and others. Can you imagine? Opportunities like that are hard to come by. Those names are planning to attend again this year, and I'm also excited to meet Michael Zwecher and Manish Malhotra in person for the first time. Again, though in principal the purpose of this event is to prepare students for the RMA examination, enrollment is open to any interested parties.

Back to the Advisor Perspectives column, I had wanted to include a fourth designation: The College for Financial Planning's CRPC designation. But it was too late to include it by the time I heard back from them with answers to my questions. So here is some bonus content for the blog. The CRPC is actually older and larger than any of the others I reviewed. It began in 1996 and there are now about 16,000 active designees with another 1,500 actively enrolled and working through the course materials. Students take one 3 credit hour graduate course with 12 modules. Expected study time is 120 hours and students should be able to complete the course in 3-4 months. Examinations are conducted at testing centers around the country. The course cost is $1140 with discounts available for employees of specific firms which have endorsed the designation. Recertification is required every two years with 16 CE credits, and reaffirming compliance with a code of conduct. The biannual recertification is $95. About what distinguishes this designation, I learned that, "The College for Financial Planning began surveying CRPC® graduates for the Survey of Trends in the Financial Planning Industry in 2006. CRPC® designees have shown increases to not only their earnings and number of clients, but also their job satisfaction in every survey to date."

White House backs standard for mortgage servicers
Submitted by bobbyw24 on Fri, 02/11/2011 - 16:35in
(Reuters) - The Obama administration favors creating a national standard for mortgage servicers such as Bank of America Corp and JPMorgan Chase & Co that have been accused of botching home foreclosure procedures.
In unveiling its plan to overhaul the housing finance system, the White House said on Friday it supports reforms to correct problems in the mortgage servicing and foreclosure process.
These include adopting national standards for mortgage servicing and requiring that mortgage documents disclose the presence of second liens, such as a second mortgage or a home equity loan.

First of all, we have never owned an iPad app that operates and interacts quite like this one. It truly is seamless in the way it integrates curriculum (science, geography, history and concepts)….Honestly, for $4.99 you are getting a bargain in my opinion. I would easily pay more for this iPad app and that is saying a lot (I'm pretty cheap).

Hello to the best site with the most experienced gardeners I have found. I hope to leave out the horror stories of how I got to this point and hope to give you guys just the facts .
This is my first time...I made a raised bed...org supposed to be 2 x 8...once built 6 x 12...ok no big deal. Expect once I had more room, I went BIG. I planted way to close together and it's been in since 4/28. I have tomatoe plants as tall as me...and healthy as can be. I have 2 foot tall eggplant, huge huge squash and zucchini, peppers that are so far well behaved..The middle row lacking a little from the tomato forest growing next to it. Herbs at the other end which are growing so fast that I'm giving herbs as lunch time gifts at work. I have golf ball size tomatoes on some plants. I put in several different types of tomatoes (ughm..cause I love them) and then some romas and apparently they are a low grower? These plants are growing over and sideways...which is where part of the problem is. Fact: I used almost 3/4 part mushroom soil and 1/4 top...
Problems...My north corner tomatoe plant are the smallest cause of the density of the rest. I am sort of ok with this. I feel as though I need to trim...especially the romas and at very least some of the tall ones...can I trim? Where can I trim? Squash? zucchini?
A grateful heart looking for a mentor…thank you |
Follow-Up Postings:
You are having wonderful growth of your vegetables and that is great; much better than the alternative. However, the growth is exceeding your expectations. You didn't plan for that much vegetation in the space you have. In that situation you should have no qualms about removing excess plant material so that what remains will have sufficient light and air. I suggest pruning the tomatoes to make them more sparse. Cut off a lot of the branches, especially the lower ones, leaving the central stalk and just a few fruit bearing side branches. Then remove a few entire squash or tomato plants here and there to open up the jungle. This may be a tough decision but you can leave enough plants to still have a lush garden, which is what you want. Jim |
Rook, Since I can't see what you are dealing with, I will make the suggestion that you lay a couple of boards across your bed in two directions dividing the bed into four zones. Determine what you want to do in each zone, then cut, support, trim, and love each zone. You will eventually get it the way you want. A big mess looks overwhelming. A smaller mess looks manageable. I purposely plant very crowded, but I always start with a plan concerning which plants are compatible, which plants grow tall, which plants grow wide, which plants need support or don't, and which plants grow low. You just need to remember that at harvest time, you need to be able to see the fruit and before harvest, the plants need to be able to see the sun. Ted |

Remember that it's the roots, not just the foliage, that are crowded, and so thin (remove plants) rather than prune where you can. If they are still small, you may be able to move some plants (or give them to a neighbor) rather than tossing them on the compost heap. Insect problems can be a lot worse on plants that are weak because they are not getting enough sun or root room. Diseases and fungus can also come in if air circulation between or within plants is poor. An easy fix by the way is to stake those tomatoes! All tomato plants (well, maybe there are some exceptions) fall over and are low growers unless you hold them up or cage them. You can likewise trellis your cukes and squashes (and beans and peas). This will substitute "vertical space" for bed space. But you still need to give them plenty of root room! And it works best at the south end of the bed, where they won't shade other plants. Some people plant lettuces and other greens in the shade of a trellis during the hot weather — I haven't tried it. |

Rook, Anyway of posting picture so we can better help you? Mark |
Hello... So I made this post on friday and since then...just yesterday I thinned out 2 of the biggest tomatoe plants which are about 5 foot tall.I took most from the bottom and made it so where the fruit and flowers are coming in with the most support. I do have them caged, but with those common cone ones. I fretted about what to use and since I am bargin gardening i went with what was free! Most of what i got this year was at minimun cost So I only did 2 plants to ride it out till the end of the week to see how they do before I get all in there. I will put pictures up so I can show everyone, which I think well benefit me the most. They are way to big to dig up and transplant. Can I trim the squash? And the romas are what is growing sideways and low i didnt cage them cause they went low and sideways fast..I dont know if i should prune these? So far I only have a small bug issue..oh whatever i post pictures. |

When somebody loved me,
Everything was beautiful
i'm tired of hearing my heart pound against this concrete shell, duct-taped and wired shut, sealed tight against those little smile and touches that wiggle past the cracks and do damage to an already bruised soul.
i'm tired of letting my hopes rise above my head, only to sink to my feet again, after one too many blows of unreasonable expectations.
i'm tired of smiling past the longing, congratulating and advising, all the while staying the shadows of silent wishes.
tired of looking for things that aren't there, like flashes of memory in the sunlight beams in your eyes.
i'm tired of waiting in a world that refuses to slow down even for a second.
tired of loving the lost causes and the broken spirits, when the only thing i get back is disaster and heartbreak.
i'm tired of being tired.
sounds like your a bit down on yourself right now
two guys are talking. one is straight, one is gay. the straight one says" is there anyway i can turn you straight?" the gay one responds" of course, ill go straight as long as you turn gay!"
TT_TT *huggle*
too many people know this feeling far too well...
the world should a box of lucky charms. gays and christians stuck together on a hot summer's day :)
That first line sounds familiar.
I think its from that song in Toy Story 2. That song makes me cry whenever I hear it.
Or maybe I'm just crazy and hearing things. Lol.
I think you're right. I thought the same thing when I read that. Plus, I've watched Toy Story 2 way too many times. lol.
"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired."
I know right?? Did you know they are coming out with a toy story 3??? I'm so excited!!
yeah it's from toy story 2. I <3 Jessie. :)
so for those of you falling in love
keep it kind, keep it good, keep it right
throw yourself in the midst of danger
and keep one eye open at night.
--"Elephants" Rachel Yamagata
i *love* that song but it always makes me cry. :,(
Two wrongs don't make a right but three lefts do!
Jessie was def the best new character. Bullseye was cool.
The funniset thing was Emperor Zurg and the new Buzz. Ha ha...

You are what you eat.
Athletes live by a code. The code is to do whatever it takes to perform at their best and have fun doing it. Your nutritional blueprint supports or undermines your athletic code. To say we are athletes requires us to live like one, and good nutrition is an ingredient we can't live without.
Nutrition is a critical factor in general health, physical appearance and performance. The saying goes, "you can't out-train a bad diet", and its true. The proper fuel prepares the body for training and enables you to work hard during your sessions, and aids you in recovery so that you can realize the benefits of your effort. Our staff consists of nutritional counselors who will help you establish a realistic nutritional approach, that will not only help you achieve your goals, but also create healthy eating behaviors. General nutritional advice is included with group training, and custom plans are available by appointment for a small additional fee.
Start here:
- Do you eat protein with every meal?
- Do eat enough fiber daily?
- Do you eat enough healthy fat?
- Do you eat at least 5 servings of fruits and veggies a day?
- Are your carbohydrates from whole grain sources?
- Do you drink enough water?
- Do you know how many calories you should be eating each day?
If you asnwered no to some of these questions, then its time to take a closer look at your nutritional plan.

"You don't get much better than Stevie Cohen," said Ed Butowsky, founder of Chapwood Investments, a private wealth management firm based in Dallas with client money invested in SAC. If Butowsky had his druthers, he would steer more investment assets to Cohen's hedge fund, which he said has delivered three times the return as the "Oracle of Omaha" Warren Buffett with a third of the risk since 1994. "The very thought that people want to trash Stevie Cohen, who is one of the great legends in portfolio management, because of some allegations, shame on them," Butowsky said. "If it was me and I had to live through this stuff the last three years, I would tell everybody to go jump off a boat." [Greenwich Time, earlier]

Butowsky? That's sound of pain my butt hole makes when Stevie skies down it.

What? Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until Stevie decides it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
Always value Steve's opinion!
Thanks for the helpful write-up. It is also my belief that mesothelioma cancer has an really long latency time, which means that warning signs of the disease won't emerge until 30 to 50 years after the initial exposure to mesothelioma. Pleural mesothelioma, which can be the most common form and influences the area round the lungs, will cause shortness of breath, breasts pains, plus a persistent coughing, which may lead to coughing up bloodstream.
