Yes, I can finally say they are all in for the winter, in the greenhouse. The only ones in there are a few that need a longer growing season to ripen fruit and a few select tropicals along with orchids that love high humidity!
Enjoy. |

That's amazing!!! Truly an incredible collection, really enjoyed looking at it! Not sure you left yourself room to get in there...? Wow. I just want to put my head in there and take a deep breath. Do you think your typo in the title was a Freudian slip? Are the plants ticked off? |

Hi Mike!! Beautiful collection!! I think i see a familiar Gardenia in a few of those pics? ;-) I also noticed the slip and i had to chuckle like Purpleinopp.. I think she nailed it!! They are "ticked" to be inside and will be so happy once spring rolls around again so they can have there space. They all look so happy though and im sure it gives you such satisfaction to rest inside the greenhouse on some of these cold nasty days. I true "escape" that is needed during the winter. This is why i want to keep my trees in my greenhouse so i can "get away" if only for a few minutess. It is very relaxing to get lost in those beutifull plants.. My "Calgon Moment.." Great job as always.. Thank you for being such a wonderful friend. You are one of a kind!! SO is your mom. Mahalo to you all!! Laura |

I have a peony about three years old and it hasn't bloomed. It's in full sun and is healthy looking. I have heard and read that they won't bloom if planted too deeply, so I thought I was being careful at planting time to not do that. I planted it with the eyes a couple inches below the surface. Could the settling in process have driven it deeper? If I scratch some soil away from the planting site, would that help? Should I dig up and replant it? If so, in the fall? How can I be sure I'm planting it at the right depth? I have read that peonies shouldn't be moved. What can I do to get blooms next year?

Well if it was a clump of roots and eyes when you planted it 4 years maybe 5 is not unusual! my Karl Rosenfeld i got as clump and it didn't bloom for 4 years just grew stems and leaves no buds. Now if you are afraid you planted it too deeply scratch some of the soil away to see just how deep it really is. Do Not pull it up. that will set you back for sure. if it looks healthy i would imagine that its just not ready yet. hopefully next year. If you really feel you need to move it do it in the fall Also i always buy plants already blooming or that have buds to avoid the wait. unless of course there is a specific cultivar that i want i will buy the clump and wait anxiously I hope it blooms for you next year!!! |

Thanks, Sam. ... maybe I'm just being impatient ... it was a small clump when I planted it ... a gift from a former neighbor ... Barbara in Virginia zone 7 |
I think it is too deep. This fall when it dies back I would take two spading forks, one manned by a strong friend and each of you insert the fork to full depth about 14 inches from the plant center. Rear back on the forks to lift the plant. With the plant raised use a strong stream of water to wash the soil off so you can see the buds for next years stems. With the buds in view fill in under the plant to keep the buds at the surface. Doing this you may break some of the deep root, but it will recover OK. If you do this job this fall your peony will bloom next year. Al |

Art of the Land Photography Contest
Our 2015 photo contest is now open to amateur photographers!
Annual TLC Art of the Land Photography Contest
The Land Conservancy of McHenry County (TLC) invites amateur photographers to participate in a unique photo contest meant to highlight the inspiring nature of TLC's land preservation work. The contest goal is to showcase photographs that reveal the beautiful and immense natural and cultural diversity found throughout McHenry County.
TLC has worked with over 90 landowners to preserve more than 2,000 acres across McHenry County. Protected properties range from 1 acre to 250 acres in size. Preserved lands include high quality wetland and woodland habitat, farmland, scenic vistas, historic farmsteads and similar valuable land resources.
The Land Conservancy will match each participating photographer with a specific TLC site. Each site has a unique character and story. All photographs submitted must be taken either of properties on which TLC holds a conservation easement, land TLC owns or stewards, or of people who work with TLC for the purpose of preserving their land for the benefit of future generations.
How to Enter:
Once you have read and agreed to the rules below, filled out and returned the contest application (click here for application) and paid the contest registration fee of $10, you will be assigned to a specific property, receive any maps and/or directions to your assigned property, and given landowner contact information (if applicable). If your specific property is privately-owned, we ask that you contact the landowner to arrange an initial meeting date at the property.
Only original photographs taken for this purpose are eligible. TLC's 2015 photography contest is open to all amateur photographers. Participants do not need to be residents of McHenry County. Those under 17 years of age must have permission from a parent in writing. Amateur is defined as earning less than a maximum of $2,000 annually from photographic work. All submitted photos must be free of claims and rights of third parties. TLC board members, employees and members of their immediate households may submit photos, but will not be eligible for the prizes.
*NEW IN 2015* This contest is NOT JUDGED in CATEGORIES, but we provide suggested photo topics:
LANDSCAPE: Overviews of the site.
PLANT LIFE: Flowers, trees, and other plants in their natural habitat (please avoid invasive species).
SMALL WORLD: Close-up images or macro shots of flowers or flower parts, butterflies, caterpillars, insects, etc.
WATER: Ponds, streams, and wetlands, including frogs, fish, and aquatic plant life.
WILDLIFE: Wild animals observed in natural habitats- birds, mammals, etc.
BLACK AND WHITE: Images where the contrast, subject, or lighting may be enhanced by black and white.
Photographers may submit a maximum of THREE (3) photos, drawing from any of these categories.
Prizes & Recognition:
A total of nine cash prizes will be given. Nature: 1st Place—$100, 2nd Place—$75, 3rd Place—$50, People's Choice (2 separate nights of voting)—$25, three Honorable Mentions—$25 ea.
*NEW IN 2015* Youth (15 and under): 1st Place-$25.
One photo from each participating photographer will be displayed at TLC's Art of the Land show at the Starline Gallery in Harvard (September 2015). Winning photos and finalists, along with photographer's name and city, will be displayed on the TLC website, in the TLC newsletters (paper and email versions), and on TLC's Facebook Page. TLC may also put together a photo catalogue showing each year's entries. The photographers must understand and agree that TLC has the right to display, use, reproduce and make other use of the photo(s) in its own publications or to make the photograph available for publicity purposes or any and all other non-profit purposes, including offering them for sale as part of a fundraiser, to promote TLC and its mission in perpetuity.
File Format:
Images must be submitted as a digital AND a printed format. Print images must be 8x10 inches and unmounted. Digital files must be in JPG format, a minimum of 2 megapixels or 1600x1200 dpi.
Digital filenames must be in this format: Site Name-Photographer's Last Name-First Name-2014
Print images must be labeled with the Site Name, Photographer's First and Last Names, and approximate date taken. Please adhere a permanent label to the back of the print rather than writing directly on the print.
Elements cannot be deleted or added to the photograph but photos may be cropped and enhanced in a photo software program so long as the manipulation is not so extreme as to significantly distort the image or create a "computer art" image. If, in the opinion of the judges, software manipulation is extreme, the photo will be disqualified. Photos whose subject matter is a manmade object, e.g. windmill or building, will not be eligible for an award. Photos that include manmade objects but whose primary subject is the land, plants or wildlife, are eligible.
Deadline for Entries—5:00 pm on August 21, 2015
Judging—Early September 2015
Winners Announced—After the People's Choice judging is completed at TLC's Art of the Land benefit in September 2015. All decisions made by the judges will be final.

TuesdayIcahn aims to help fix what is "broken" at Genzyme: It expects to be fined at least $175 million by U.S. regulators for manufacturing violations"
(Posted By: Josi Creek)
BOSTON, April 27 (Reuters) - If elected to the board of Genzyme Corp, billionaire investor Carl Icahn will work to understand and help the company fix what is "broken," according to proxy documents filed on Tuesday with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Icahn is seeking representation for himself and three other nominees on Genzyme's board. He said in the documents he believes his nominees' knowledge of science, medicine, finance and business will "significantly improve the science and business expertise of the board of directors of Genzyme."
Cambridge, Massachusetts-based Genzyme will hold its annual meeting on June 16th. The biotech company is struggling to emerge from a manufacturing crisis that lead to shortages of two of its drugs for rare diseases. It expects to be fined at least $175 million by U.S. regulators for manufacturing violations.
The Icahn nominees "believe that Genzyme's inability to fully manufacture and supply certain of its products leads to the conclusion that the manufacturing system at Genzyme is 'broken'," according to the filing.
Genzyme, however, said that none of Icahn's nominees have experience in manufacturing and that it is taking steps of its own to put the right people in place.
"We are rapidly executing a comprehensive plan to strengthen our manufacturing operations, including the recent hiring of two veteran leaders to oversee our worldwide manufacturing and quality programs," said John Lacey, a spokesman for Genzyme, in an email. "We are also actively recruiting a new board member with specific manufacturing and operations experience."
In addition to Icahn himself, Icahn has also nominated Dr. Stephen Burakoff, Professor of Medicine, Hematology and Medical Oncology at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine; Alexander Denner, managing director of Icahn Partners; and Dr. Richard Mulligan, Professor of Genetics at Harvard Medical School.
"The Icahn parties believe that a change in board composition is necessary to bring new ideas and ways of looking at problems to the existing board," Icahn said in his proxy filing.
Genzyme, which makes drugs for rare and chronic diseases, is moving on multiple fronts to keep Icahn at bay. It recently appointed Ralph Whitworth, an activist investor who runs the $6 billion investment firm Relational Investors LLC, to its board.

on March 15, 2012We first noticed what you might call a "moment" last summer, when designers showed their spring collections (in stores now) throughout Paris, Milan, and New York and we couldn't stop looking down at the models' feet. You see, many of the traditional shoes had been updated with neon soles, electric suedes, and all sorts of colorful accents that made it clear, almost instantly, that Spring 2012 would be all about updating your footwear game with pairs that were anything but (just) brown or black. So, whether that's a pair of bright green suede derbys, a blue-and-red color-blocked boat shoe, or even a technicolor saddle shoe that's been elevated from it's traditional feel, let's all get to it. It starts below, with The Style Blog's original portfolio of the best pairs we came across this season. Check them out in the slideshow, and don't forget to tell us which pair you'll be wearing next in the comments below...

Republican congressional candidate Weston Wamp has begun a swing of the 3rd District in a 32-foot recreational vehicle he will call home while visiting cities and neighborhoods in the district.
Wamp began his travels on Monday and plans to use the RV as a "home away from home" where he can take a grassroots-style campaign to the voters.
"When we had this designed, my one priority was I wanted my wife, Shelby, to be able to travel with me," Wamp said.
The son of former U.S. Rep Zach Wamp is making his second run at the 3rd District congressional seat and is facing incumbent U.S. Rep. Chuck Fleischmann in the Republican primary.
Wamp says using the RV gives him a chance to spend more time with voters and "stay close to the people, unlike those currently in Washington."
His second run at the office finds him a still-youthful 26, but Wamp says he sees that as a strength and not a weakness.
"We tend to ask our young people to make significant contributions. We ask young people to get involved in local government," Wamp said. "I think the need in Washington now for young people is as significant as it is in any level. Washington needs new ideas and, frankly, guts and courage to do the things necessary to put our country back in a strong fiscal condition, and you don't see that now."
He said the problems in the country are not as difficult as some might lead voters to believe.
"We just need people in office whose concern is more for the best long-term interest of the country rather than the next election cycle," Wamp said.
"I think regardless of age, if have something to contribute to our country, we need you to step up now."
Wamp's critique of the incumbent is he "has gone with the flow and very little has changed."
"Locally, the Chickamauga Lock is still unfunded and he has a track record that has set the standard pretty low. He's has no pieces of sponsored legislation come out of committee onto the House floor," Wamp said.
He said people in this area "are used to and expect and deserve excellent congressional representation."
He cites as examples Bill Brock and his father.
"The expectations of those legacies were to have an impact on our behalf and not just to participate in Washington. And also, the expectations of leadership to get people around the table to get things done," Wamp said.
He says it is unfortunate many in Congress do not see the art of compromise in a two-party political system as being good for the country.
"They are wrong because we have more than 230 years of history that shows we have to work together," Wamp said. "I'm a very different candidate because I will tell you with no apologies we have to get back to that. We can stand on principals as conservatives and liberals, but what we can't do is let our core beliefs impede getting things done for the country at a time when we can't balance budgets, we're not taking care of obvious problems and some of the solutions are not exactly rocket science."
He said the economic "day of reckoning" is being made even worse by the inaction of a Congress which does not have the fortitude to tackle the hard issues at hand.
"I am encouraged because people are very clear they want a change in representation in Congress," Wamp said. "But, I don't want to just go fill a seat. I want to have an impact."
He called last year's shutdown of the government "a flippant and failed strategy."
"It made our party look bad and it made us look like we weren't serious," Wamp said of the GOP. "We need less political rhetoric and more who will talk about the difficult decisions that have to be made to get back into a position of strength, and we're not even close to that right now."
He said what bothered him most about the shutdown was the effect it had on the thousands of government workers in the area.
"Their lives were basically put on hold because Congressman Fleischmann and others were just playing political games," Wamp said.
He says "Obamacare" is a bad piece of legislation, but "Republicans can't ignore the fact our country needs health care reform. So, I wish instead of pursuing what was a misguided strategy in the first place, we would talk more about conservative, free-market alternatives and solutions. We typically get pigeonholed as a party of negativists who complain and blame others."
He said most who advocated the shutdown knew it was not a plausible strategy knowing the numbers were not there to repeal the health care act.
"They raised the expectations falsely of conservatives and that's the worst of politics," Wamp said.
He noted Sen. Bob Coker of Tennessee and Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma.
"These are extremely conservative guys but they came out and said this was not the right way to govern the country," Wamp said.
He said the first bill he wants to file is one to revise the congressional pension program.
"Congressional pensions have been designed to give, what I think, is a perverse incentive for members of Congress to stay longer than many want them to," Wamp said. "It's a bipartisan idea and I think it would be a step in the direction of people thinking Congress gets it, that they're somewhat in touch. I think it would mean a lot."
Wamp said people might be surprised to know he does not necessarily like politics.
"It's from having grown up with and seeing the dark side of it," he said. "The flip side of that is I have such a tremendous respect for public service in this country. At the end of the day I will be cast one way or another by a lot of people. I'm a young guy trying to make a difference. I saw public service as a vehicle for change my whole life. I'm not willing to join the chorus of cynics who don't think our country can fix itself. I think it can.
"The politics of this wears on you. It wears on anybody who wants to live a peaceful life and enjoy their friends and families," Wamp said. "I'm willing to go through it because I think there are certain things in our country that can't be changed outside of the Congress. Congress is incredibly important to the future of our country. Our country is incredibly important to the future of the world."

The Tourist, starring Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp, starts off like Hitchcock, and it maintains that feel throughout. The pace, however, is glacial, unlike the works of The Master, who kept things clipping right along. There are also some sporadic bits of humor, a la Hitch, but the clever exchanges of, say, North by Northwest are largely missing. Still, it has its charms.
The classic Hitchcock situation presents itself early on: an apparently innocent man gets drawn into a dangerous, mysterious situation which he only vaguely understands. In this case, the guy is one Frank Tupelo (Depp), a math instructor at a Wisconsin community college who is on a trip to Venice. On the train from Paris, he meetsor is picked up bya gorgeous femme fatale, Elise Clifton-Ward (Jolie). She entices the curiously uncurious Frank to ask her to dinner, then to join her at her fancy Venetian hotel, though he has to sleep on the couch.
But we know, as Frank evidently does not, that Elise is being watched by an international corps of lawmen, armed with all sorts of fancy electronic gimmicks. These latter allow London police inspector John Acheson (Paul Bettany) to keep an eye on her, even though his boss (played by ex-Bond man Timothy Dalton) has warned him off.
The true object of Achesons obsession is not Elise, but her lover, a swindler named Alexander Pierce who owes his fellow Brits millions of pounds. And Alex has told Elise to pick out a man of about his height and build and make the police believe that hes Alex, who has likely paid for plastic surgery with his ill-gotten gains. The police take the bait, after which its a race between them and a cooly murderous British gangster, Reginald Shaw (Steven Berkoff), who also wants a great deal of money back from Alex, but needs to have him alive to find out where it is.
Director/screenwriter Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck lays in a number of hints that all is not as it seems; however, he may or not prepare us for the final reversal of our expectations. Depp, playing distinctly against type, only gives us glimpses of Captain Jack Sparrow or Willie Wonka, as Frank is a strangely passive character. When he takes matters into his own feckless hands, we hardly believe it. For her part, Jolie maintains a glamorous aura of mystery by saying as little as possible.The filmmakers have dolled her up like a younger, slightly less voluptuous Sophia Loren, but they also want us to believe she can outsmart the well-armed and -equipped opposition, on both sides of the law.
Were never quite sure if The Tourist is supposed to be comic or not, though there are a number of funny moments, as when Depp tiptoes across tile rooftops in his pajamas or when a number of Italian cops suddenly materialize on a train platform. The movie is rated PG-13 for violence and brief strong language; Im guessing most preteens and teens would lose interest early on, given the pace and the confusing proceedings. Adults who are willing to hang in until the very endwere talking last few framesmay find this a nice escape from the onset of real winter.

According to reports from the Cleveland Police Department, the TBI and U.S. Marshal's Service took Todd Steven Osterman, 40, into custody Monday near Stuart Road.
Osterman had been eluding capture for several months, according to Detectives Bill Parks and Matt Jenkins.
Jenkins said early in the investigation that Osterman lived in motels around the area.
Warrants had been issued for his arrest in connection with several auto burglaries and theft.
Osterman is being housed at the Bradley County Jail on the warrants.
- Bradley County Sheriff's Office also arrested a man who had outstanding warrants for violating the Sexual Offender Registry.
John Edgar Justice, 57, was arrested last week.
Cleveland Police Department officials issued a warrant for his arrest in September after he failed to maintain the registry process.
Justice was convicted of "Criminal Attempt to Commit Rape," in February 1978, according to TBI's Sexual Offender Registry information. He is also being held at the Bradley County Jail.
- A house on Stinnett Road was apparently broken into, but at the time of the initial offense report filed with Bradley County Sheriff's Office, it was unclear if anything had been taken.
According to a report filed by deputy Cru Ross, Amy Stinnett said someone had broken a window to gain entry into the house.
Stinnett said the house was a rental and it was under the ownership of a local bank.
Investigation is continuing.
- A Dodge Ram pickup truck suffered damage from vandalism.
According to Ross, Jedidiah Kidwell said someone broke the rear glass out of the truck as well as damaged the tailgate.
Investigation revealed a rock was possibly used to damage the vehicle.
Damage was estimated at $300.

Tom Tancredo campaign "Tanc" tops are dyn-o-mite: Kenny Be's Worst-Case Scenario
Full-sized comic below.
A person who attempts to provoke others with outrageous come-ons is referred to as a "tease." From his suggestion to bomb Mecca to his threat to run for Colorado governor, Tom Tancredo's lifetime of taunts makes him the king of tees. Tee-shirts, that is. And what better time to reveal an entire new line of Tancredo Tancs and Tees than during his state-stormin' whistle-stop tour.
Page down to see how Tom pulls train when politics go off the rails...
The Tancredo crazy train could be a runaway success, especially if he promises to give immigrants and poor people a kick in the caboose.
Look below to see how you can bet your ass on that.

Good morning cottagers!
I am being lazy this morning. We have company this wekend and the less said about that the better. So I decided to come visit with people I DO like! ;) Here is today's question: Can you tell me what the following words have in common? Escalator, rolodex, trampoline, rollerblade, and spandex. I will be back later, but can't guarantee how quickly. I do have more words that go with these, but we'll start here. Hope everyone is well and content this weekend. I will trade any of your activities with mine today! Mark my words, no visitors for the rest of the year!!!! Unless of course, any of you happen by-welcome mat always out for you! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Sorry about your annoying company, Cynthia. At least you don't have to go to work on Monday, having totally wasted your two days off. I'm not seeing anything yet in the five words, but I'll keep turning them over in my mind - what's left of it - and maybe something will click. ThinMan |
- Posted by aftermidnight Z8 V. Island B.C. (My Page) on Sat, Jul 30, 11 at 10:45
Morning all, I believe I've done this one before so pretty sure I know what the answer is. Sorry about your weekend Cyn, been there, done that, hope your weekend goes smoothly. T.M. Cyn gave a good clue :). Annette |
- Posted by lorna-organic (My Page) on Sat, Jul 30, 11 at 11:27
I think they all have wave theory in common. Please don't ask me what wave theory is. I couldn't explain it to save my life, but I have a concept and an image in my mind! :-) |
Annette, you are so smart! I hoped the clue would work. Anyway, here are a few more that fit: yo-yo, popsicle, corn flakes. Does that change your idea, Lorna? |
- Posted by aftermidnight Z8 V. Island B.C. (My Page) on Sat, Jul 30, 11 at 12:58
LOL Cyn, done this one before, I didn't know the answer then but stored the answer in the old memory bank for future reference. Annette |
Not getting anywhere so far. Just so I don't fry any brain circuits thinking too hard in the wrong direction, can you hint me this? Are we looking for something that the words have in common, or something that the objects themselves have in common? TM |
Well, hmmm, something in common that the words share, but it is also connected to the objects themselves or was at one time. What if I add band-aid, thermos, and xerox, TM? Try re-reading my first post and see if anything clicks for you. Cynthia |
Oh. I just got it. And now I see your hint too. Now I can stop trying to analyze letter sequences. Q-tip would probably be another one, right? TM |
YEP! Also,sheetrock, formica, breathalyzer, aspirin, and cellophane. Cynthia |
- Posted by midnightsmum 4b ON (My Page) on Sat, Jul 30, 11 at 18:37
AH-huh!! Got it!! Went to work early, so missed this this am!! Good one!! What about kleenex?? Nancy. |
That, too! You are all way too clever. Lorna??? Hope work was easy, Nancy. We went to the Newseum today. Amazingly I had never been there and it is a wonderful place for news junkies. Taking Elizabeth to the airport at 6:30 tomorrow. ;) Cynthia |
Is it that they are all trademarked terms that people often use to refer generically to the product, no matter who made it? |
- Posted by lorna-organic (My Page) on Sun, Jul 31, 11 at 9:24
Hah! I was still sticking with my undulation/wave action for awhile. Eventually I had to give it up, got stumped! |
***** Five stars for Annette, TM, Nancy, and Dawiff! Lorna, you still had time this morning!!! :) Yes, all are product names that were once trademarked, but came to be used generically (and in the dictionary) to refer to the general product. I was so surprised by some-cellophane,dry ice, dumpster,granola,zipper, styrofoam to name a few. Kleenex is another as Nancy mentioned, but never at my house growing up. My dad worked for Scott Paper and we always had to call them Scotties! Broke Dad's heart when the company went down. Of course, he was retired then, but he and my uncle had been there since the 40s and both loved the company. They threw the most wonderful company Christmas parties in the 50s-held in the plant in Chester PA with all kinds of cool stuff going on for kids and fabulous gifts (I got my first two-wheeler one year-it was beautiful still remember it vividly). It was so cool to see the giant rolls of paper and all the machinery. Good memories. Thanks for playing. Off to see what Nancy has for us today! Have a wonderful Sunday all. Cynthia |
Great question, Cynthia. Thanks for the fun. |

You are the strongest person I have ever known, never complained through all your suffering. Always thought of others instead of yourself. Always took care of your children even when you were a widow. I have been blessed to have shared 49 Birthdays and Holidays with you, and it was an honor to take care of you as you always did for me. Give Jesus a hug from me. I love you Momma so much!

You took the role of grandmother and great-grandmother to heart! Me, John, Lainie, and Phoeboe thank you for giving us so many wonderful memories to cherish. You have always been and will forever be in our hearts! Thank you for always making us feel so special and so loved. Love you!

It was, and is, an "honor" to be blessed to be a daughter of Bernice Cole. My mother was the essence of love, kindness, compassion, understanding,forgivenss to all,and humility and sincerity of heart. Her strength and words of wisdom will forever remain in my heart and mind. My mother (mom) entrusted me with her beloved 13 year old "special needs" dog named Penny who it totally blind. I will love and cherish "Penny girl" as my mom did. "In him who rose from the dead, our hope of resurrection dawned. The sadness of death gives ways to the bright promise of immortality". A loving daughter, Sandy

Stalking the Beast: CancerThe young woman in the wheelchair wears a white headscarf and robe. Her left hand trembles as she speaks to the doctor in whispers. Something is wrong, she tells him. Something in her brain. She finds it difficult to focus on his face--one of her eyes keeps wandering. It's a late morning in June, and outside, the Egyptian sun is blazing. Inside the cancer center, a dozen people sit on rows of plastic chairs not far from the woman, waiting. In a dark room just off the hallway, a patient lies face-down on a gurvey, waiting to undergo radiation. A black X marks the spot on her right hip where technicians will point their wizardry. Upstairs in the pediatrics ward, children with huge eyes sit on beds as IV tubes feed them drugs. Twice each week, Stacey Fedewa and her fellow American students catch a Cairo train and travel 60 miles north, through rice paddies and cotton fields, to this building in the city of Tanta. There, they pore through data as part of a $1.2 million training program funded by the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Maryland. Cancer has been around for millennia—Egyptian mummies show evidence of tumors—but although scientists have identified the pathways by which some cancers work, many elude understanding. Enter Stacey Fedewa and students like her. Fedewa had never traveled to the developing world, but a long family history of cancer drove her to sign up for Soliman's introductory course on cancer epidemiology. Soliman's former M.D. Anderson colleague Bob Chamberlain, who chairs the external advising committee for the Michigan program and also directs the largest NCI–funded cancer-prevention education and teaching program, calls the summer internship "the real growth experience." Besides Egypt, the program's 2007 interns traveled to Morocco, Tanzania, Turkey, Jordan, and India, as well as to California and several sites in Michigan, including an Indian reservation in the Upper Peninsula. They culled and analyzed data for international studies of liver, breast, bladder, pancreatic, cervical, and breast cancers. Soliman spent much of the summer dogging the students. On planes, in airports, maneuvering a rental car through Cairo's clogged streets, in a half-empty cafe in Casablanca and a medical center in Dearborn, Michigan, he kept after them: How's the questionnaire coming along? What does the data reveal? Have you set up an appointment with Dr. Ibrahim? Inside the Tanta Cancer Registry, stacks of yellow and blue books hold data culled from 57 sites in Egypt's Gharbia Province. The data reveal things like the rising incidence of liver cancer in the region, and the fact that childhood lymphomas are more common than leukemias. The registry didn't exist until 1999, and it's the only one of its kind in Egypt. Hussein Khaled, dean of Egypt's National Cancer Institute, is working to establish a nationwide cancer registry, but such undertakings depend on help from the developed world, he says. Students like Soliman's can devote time and resources to tasks that their understaffed, underfunded Egyptian counterparts cannot.

Lego At Home Sense
Posted by fuelbreak,As I got dragged into Home Sense (with locations across Canada), I was pleasantly surprised to find a small selection of LEGO in their kids' section; some of which has recently gone on clearance.
I just picked up a City of Atlantis set for $44 on sale. Great pieces to go with the roman minifig from series 6.
Another set to note on "double clearance" was 7326 Rise of the Sphinx (which I believe is regularly 64.99) on sale for around 35.
I found a new appreciation for Home Sense that day!
15 comments on this article
HomeSense is owned by the same company as Winners, so I wouldn't be surprised if Winners transfers leftover stock to HomeSense. Lucky for me, there is both a winners and a HomeSense in the same mall. Will definitely check this out tonight.
Thanks! Ill be checking this out as well. Always good to find another source for LEGO!
I got the King's Carriage Ambush for 27 at Winners today. Looks like a chain-wide clearance on the remaining LEGO Christmas stock.
A friend of mine found this deal about a month ago up in Saskatoon. I've been waiting for it to go down to that price here in Regina. Must check it tomorrow...
"picked up a City of Atlantis set for $44 on sale." $44!? That would be an awesome deal in the USA!
I sometimes see LEGO at HS when I go there. Not a very great selection, though.
Home sense (and Winners) are actually owned by TJX (the parent company of Marshalls and TJ Maxx) so hopefully we'll see those sets at those stores in the US. I'd love to grab some City of Altantis's for cheap...
I work at a winners/home sense store in eastern Canada. Those sets we're marked down to 23 at mine and still like 6 left. : D
I picked up the City of Atlantis last night as well... for $6.98...!!!
Man, do I love when sets are salvaged and taken out of the inventory at Target and they don't ring up in the system...!!!
I pretty much get to tell them whatever I will pay...
In the last week:
PQ Pyramid - $16.04
Portal to Atlantis - $16.03
City of Atlantis - $6.98
SW Advent Calendar - $4.98
Checked our local Winners/Homesense. It's still listed at $59.99. I suppose the locations are seperate enough that on-sale at one doesn't always mean on-sale at all. A very disappointing visit. I have been waiting for it to go on sale for more than a month! Hopefully things will change soon...
I do find that very frustrating when some chains vary in prices from location to location but will always offer price matches on other competitors.
As mlpicco stated her price out east is much cheaper then what I even paid.
Hit and miss I guess.
Sorry to hear about the disappointment.
Fair enough. I was only waiting for it since a friend of mine found it for that price in Saskatoon a month ago. I figured it would only be a matter of time for it to drop down here.
Only four boxes left at my local W/H, so I might not wait too long...
Checked in Edmonton and Sherwood Park today and found the 59.99 price. Ive already picked up 2 of these from Winners in Edmonton for 44$ but another couple hundred column pieces would be nice. Ill wait..
.....Home Sense?
I was in the Home Sense in Sherwood park today and saw 3 of the City of Atlantis sets for $32 Picked one up. They also had 3-4 more sets for the $59.99 price. The cheep ones were on a clearance table near the tills at the front of the store.

Kingdom County Productions will present the exclusive northern New England production of "Legends of New Orleans Jazz" featuring rhythm-and-blues ace and six-time Grammy nominee Allen Toussaint joining forces with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band for the first time, on tour. Showtime is 7 p.m. on Tuesday, October 21, at Fuller Hall, at St. Johnsbury Academy. Tickets are on sale at kingdomcounty.org or by calling 748-2600.
The Preservation Hall Jazz Band has toured the world since its founding in the early 1960s, as the essential vehicle to keep traditional New Orleans jazz traditions alive. During recent years, the band has played 150 annual dates at venues ranging from Carnegie Hall to Lincoln Center and the Hollywood Bowl. And they have branched out to ensure a future as a living and breathing group driven by fresh influences and inspirations, adding a number of dynamic new musical directions to their rock-solid repertoire of the classic New Orleans style.
Preservation Hall has appeared on stage with artists ranging from Dr. John, Wynton Marsalis, and the Grateful Dead, to The Black Keys, Bonnie Raitt, and Tom Waits. In an Oval Office White House ceremony, the group was awarded the 2006 National Medal of Arts, the nation's highest honor for artistic excellence. In 2010, the San Francisco Examiner called Preservation Hall, "the best jazz band in the land."
Mr. Toussaint ranks as a key figure in the development of R&B, and his songs have been recorded by a staggering array of artists including Otis Redding, Phish, Boz Skaggs, The Who, The Rolling Stones, Aaron Neville, The Doors, Glenn Campbell, Warren Zevon, The Yardbirds, Jerry Garcia, Paul Butterfield, Derek Trucks Band, Ringo Starr, Trombone Shorty, Three Dog Night, and The Hollies. Other collaborations include The Band, Paul McCartney, Elvis Costello, Bo Diddley, Levon Helm, Robert Plant, and Alison Krauss. Mr. Toussaint's many awards and recognitions include his 1998 induction into the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame.
"When I meet someone like Allen Toussaint — that for me is like meeting, you know, someone the equivalent of the Dalai Lama, because for me, he influenced the way I played the piano," said Elton John. "He's an historical part of rock-and-roll."

Tech Tips: Using Ferrites
I have worked on some tough RFI problems in my career. In one particular, an AM station was causing problems in an enormous warehouse that stored fireworks; it was getting in to their telephone system as well as an IP-based inventory system (all done via Wi-fi). In the end, judicious use of ferrites solved those problems. That's our topic this time around.
First, let's first review how these RFI problems come about. Any wire in the presence of an alternating magnetic field is by nature an antenna. In the vast majority of cases, the signals induced in those wires are just too weak to matter; however, if the wire is near a strong alternating field (like an AM or FM transmitter) enough current can be induced to flow in the wire to cause problems with whatever circuitry happens to also be connected to that same wire. The 'other circuitry' could be a telephone, an alarm system, someone's home entertainment system, a computer, or my personal favorite - an oven. (I was an active ham as a teenager - when I got on 40 meters, our house's oven thermostat used to go on and off.)
If you have just moved your transmitter site you have a year to resolve interference complaints inside the 1V/m contour for AM and the 115dBu contour for FM (see 73.88 and 73.318 respectively). Some devices are specifically excluded in 73.318; and perhaps your transmitter site has been in place for way more than a year. Still, it is probably wise to help your neighbors out in the mitigation of RF interference. Just keep in mind that there are limits to your liability as far as the FCC is concerned anyway.
A possible answer
Obviously when someone or something is near the transmitter site, there is little if anything you can do to move it farther away. Your neighbors probably aren't going to move just to get away from RFI. Likewise you certainly aren't moving the transmitter. So what has to happen then, to make this problem go away? Well, the installation of ferrites could be the answer. Ferrites work by greatly reducing the current flow, at the interfering frequency, in the 'antenna' that is the root of the problem. The 'wire' is made to look like a high-impedance at the interfering frequency, thus severely reducing the current flow, and likely curing the problem.
Ferrites come in different shapes, sizes, and formulas: there are ferrite beads, toroids, and split beads. Perhaps most importantly though, is the fact that different formulas are used for different interfering frequencies: mixes 73, 31, 43, 44, 61 and 64 are a few of those. Mix 73 is effective at AM frequencies; Mix 43 would be better for FM frequencies.
Beads are small cylinders through which you can run the wires that are picking up the unwanted RF. Of course to install those, you may have to un-solder, and then re-solder wires in the equipment you are trying to eliminate RF from. That, of course, isn't always practical. Toroids are used to mitigate common mode pickup; in other words, the same amount of RF on both leads (like with twin-lead - you can wrap that around the toroid) or coax - you can wrap that around the toroid to reject RF induced in to the shield. If that isn't practical, you can use split-beads - two pieces that come apart, fit around the offending cable, and then snap together. Likely you've seen these on computer cables before.
Next month we'll delve in to specific situations and how they can be solved.

IAMSE Fall 2012 Webinar Series
Times are Changing: Evolution and Revolution in Medical Education
Contact Tina Walls at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-522-1270 if you need assistance.
Reaching and Teaching Millennial Learners
Speaker: David H. Roberts, M.D., Harvard Medical School
Generations are groups of individuals who are born or live at the same time and who share experiences and environmental influences by virtue of similar age. By extension and as a result of these shared experiences and environment, these groups often share attitudes, ideas, values, styles and problems.
In the US over the last nearly 100 years, there have been several distinct generations, commonly known as the "Silent" generation, the "Baby Boomers", the Generation X, and now the "Millennial" Generation. Each generation has its own set of characteristics, defining moments and values, and shared conflicts and achievements.
These generational characteristics have had and continue to have significant influences on teaching and learning at all pedagogic levels. The current generation poses a new set of challenges and opportunities for medical educators. This session will review those challenges, including the growing body of literature about digital professionalism as well as the opportunities, including specific strategies for educators to enhance teaching and learning for Millennial trainees.
Teaching to Transform the Brain
Speaker: John W. Pelley, Ph.D., Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Medicine
Learning always follows the same biological process involving a physical change in the brain. This change, termed consolidation, is not just limited to long-term memory, but occurs for any part of the learning process. The conscious use of any given functional area of the brain will, therefore, consolidate that part of the learning process. The Experiential Learning Cycle (ELC) proposed by Kolb is a Constructivist model that can has been matched by Zull to the major functional areas of the cerebral cortex to provide insight into the use of teaching strategies. It will be proposed here that each functional area of the brain represents a different learning skill. The development of neglected learning skills through Deliberate Practice (DP) automatically produces self-directed problem solvers by balancing the ELC. Teacher-directed DP spontaneously evolves into learner-determined DP resulting in lifelong maintenance of expert learning skills. As such, this presentation will provide an argument that learning skills can be developed through DP, just as with clinical skills – because clinical skills, after all, are learning skills.
Adapt, Evolve or Become Extinct: Making Educational Change Work for You
Speaker: Robert G. Carroll, Ph.D., School of Medicine at East Carolina University
The education of students at the preschool through University level is rapidly changing, and instructors who understand the basis of these changes will be most effective educators. Most of the curriculum innovations are developed and supported by research on teaching and learning. This presentation will review the impact of Bloom's Taxonomy, Knowles' theory of the Adult Learner, and Kolb's 4-Stage Learning Cycle on the classroom and curriculum.
Assessment of learning is also changing, moving from measuring knowledge (learning objectives) to skills (competencies). In the shift to competencies, today's mentor must stimulate and monitor the professional development of their students and trainees. In USA, medical residents are assessed by competencies which include Medical Knowledge, Patient Care, Practice-Based Learning and Improvement, Interpersonal and Communication Skills, Ethics and Medical Professionalism, and Systems-Based Practice. In this changing environment, the essential role of the teacher remains unchanged: to create an effective learning environment, to provide direction for the learner, and to model effective learning behaviors.
Novel Assessment Strategies in an Integrated Curriculum
Speakers: Samara Ginzburg, M.D. and Keith Metzger, Ph.D., Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine
Discuss the general scheme of assessment and some of the specific assessment techniques and instruments used to evaluate undergraduate medical students at the Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine. The focus of this system of assessment is to both evaluate traditional medical student competencies as well as the ability of students to apply basic medical knowledge to clinical scenarios and link basic and clinical science. Additionally, our assessments aim to provide meaningful feedback to students in the form of developmental, competency-based milestones.
Topics highlighted in this session will be: (1) overview of the assessment scheme at the Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine, (2) use of a regular "Reflection, Integration and Assessment" week to provide opportunities for both summative and formative assessment of students, (3) assessment of higher-order learning in traditional laboratory courses, and (4) assessment in Case-Based Learning: Use of self and group assessments in sessions and in weekly follow-up essays.
Basic Medical Science Course Directors in Integrated Medical Curricula
Speaker: Cynthia Standley, Ph.D., University of Arizona College of Medicine-Phoenix
Discuss the creation of an integrated systems block curriculum from the perspective a basic medical scientist. During the first two years of the Phoenix track of the ArizonaMed curriculum, the curriculum is designed in blocks that integrate the traditional basic science disciplines (physiology, anatomy, pathology, etc.) into organ systems and disease units. Clinical content and skills are progressively integrated with basic science subjects. Woven through the blocks are curricular themes covering such topics as behavioral science, ethics and humanism, bioinformatics, population and public health.
The following questions will be discussed: (1) what are the challenges for a basic scientist in designing integrated courses, (2) what resources are most helpful, (3) how do you orient a clinician to teaching in the preclinical years, and (4) How do you choose your subject matter and prioritize what really needs to be taught?

Nearly two-thirds of children who are denied their right to education are female. At the World Education Forum, Dakar, 2000, countries agreed on ensuring that by 2015 all children, particularly girls, will have access to complete free and compulsory education of good quality. As we approach 2012, what is the status of girls' education in India?
A focus on girls' education was put in place since the 1986 National Policy on Education and the 1992 Programme of Action, followed by the SSA programme launched in 2001, National Curriculum Framework in 2005 and the National Curriculum Framework for Teacher Education in 2010. These policies were complemented by other schemes such as National Programme for the Education of Girls at the Elementary Level, Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya Scheme, both ensuring inclusion and quality education for girls. The Mahila Samakhya programme was launched in 10 states targeting marginalised sections of rural women. Access to education was also facilitated by separate schools for girls, availability of open learning resources, residential schooling, coaching facilities; scholarships, textbooks, uniforms and transport including bicycles. The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (known as RTE) Act, 2010, charted a new roadmap for gender equality in education in India.
