News for Youse: Broadway transit, Bruce Springsteen performs, and NDP wins in Victoria
Broadway transit on agenda Vancouver's general manager of engineering services, Peter Judd, and director of transportation Jerry Dobrovolny will speak to city council today about "demands for transit and business opportunities on the Broadway corridor". This comes as UBC is ramping up pressure for a rapid-transit connection to its Point Grey campus.
Boss goes crowd-surfing Bruce Springsteen delighted his fans last night at Rogers Arena by jumping into the audience and riding the crowd.
Suspected gangsters murdered Sukhveer Dhak and his reported bodyguard, Thomas Mantel, were gunned down yesterday around noon at the Executive Hotel and Conference Centre in Burnaby.
NDP edges past Green candidate Lawyer Murray Rankin won a narrow victory over the Greens' Donald Galloway in a federal by-election in Victoria; The Conservatives held seats in by-elections in Calgary Centre and Durham, Ontario.
Rob Ford says he'll carry on The mayor of Toronto, Rob Ford, plans to appeal a court ruling that forces him to vacate his position. It came because he voted on a motion in which he had a direct financial interest.
Olivia Chow for mayor? Jack Layton's widow, NDP MP Olivia Chow, has confirmed that people are trying to draft her to run for mayor of Toronto.
Egyptian protests continue A huge demonstration is taking place in Cairo's Tahrir Square even after President Mohammed Mursi held talks with senior members of the judiciary to defuse a crisis. It was created by him seizing near-absolute power.
Arafat tissue tested French, Swiss, and Russian scientists are investigating if former PLO leader Yasser Arafat might have died from poisoning. This comes after his remains were exhumed and reburied in Ramallah.
Mediators called in for hockey lockout The NHL Players' Association and the owners have agreed to turn over control of their dispute to mediators.
Halle Berry's ex has black eye Model Gabriel Aubry, the former partner of Halle Berry, was spotted with a shiner following a fight with her fiancé, Olivier Martinez, who reportedly has a bruised hand.
UBC past President David Strangway wanted to build a city for UBC students at UBC on the Endowment Lands. You Know, Land Endowed to UBC for the use of UBC for the Bennefit of UBC and Students who would attend UBC.
Van "The Sham" Sha-Zalm, put an end to this nonsense by removing the UBC Endowment Lands from UBC.
If 25,000 - 50,000 UBC students could live within one kilometre or 5/8 of a mile from UBC, they could walk to school, bike to school, skateboard to school, hop - skip & jump or roller blade to school and they would not need any
FREAKING BUSES - TRANSLINK - SKYTRAINS - CARS or TRUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! get the picture
It seems that UBC has no choice but to Parrot the Liberal / Socred / Reform / Alliance CRAP and suggest mass transit to UBC instead of housing for students at UBC.
With free land, the cost for student housing could be 50% or less that students have to pay now.
Now why would anyone be against inexpensive housing for students, would 25,000 - 50,000 empty basement suites and apartments, have anything to do with this issue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just thinking of all my Kitchen forum friends on the east coast in the path of Sandy, and hoping that you all stay safe during this storm! I am in Monmouth County where the storm is expected to make landfall, so we are bracing for the worst and hoping for the best! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Thank you. I am in NY and we are prepared. I am worried more for family and people closer to the coast than we are. Be safe everyone. |
- Posted by williamsem (My Page) on Mon, Oct 29, 12 at 10:29
Yes, take care and best wishes! I'm in the Albany, NY area, and there were already tons of school cancelations last night. We're due for some nasty wind! |
I'm following the news from the west coast, and will have my thoughts on folks in the path of the storm. Batten down & be safe! |
Hope everyone stay's safe! I'm on Long Island, we're expecting a direct hit. All schools are closed on Long Island, the city closed schools already for tomorrow. Many have lost electricity and there have been mandatory evacuation of homes and businesses on the South Shore, I'm on the North Shore. I'm hoping for the best! |
yep, we are in suburb of philly and are in the "extreme" area.. thank God it is only a Category 1 storm. Katrina was Catg.5...i can't even imagine???!!!! stay safe everyone!!! |
I've heard this storm is going to be bad because they expect it to collide with a cold front. I hope they are wrong and none of you have lengthy power outages. If you don't check in regularly, we'll assume you lost power. Praying for your safety! |
- Posted by EATREALFOOD (My Page) on Mon, Oct 29, 12 at 16:58
best wishes to all affected ! I hope your houses do not get any water/wind damage. NYC: winds very bad, rain has increased. I've been walking outside regularly and some restaurants/shops are still open. I think that's good because it's not fun to be alone if the electric does go out. |
May God be with all of you who are in this storm's path. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Houses can be repaired or replaced, lives can not, so please go to a safe place.....blessings. |
Just thought I'd mention that at 1:03 am here in Maryland, between DC and Annapolis, it's eerily still. It's been raining all day long, and the winds were howling. However... now? I hope we're done, because evidently my roof leaks. Or so that water coming down thru my MBR lights indicates. Just anodda ting. |
Those of us in the Great Lakes region who are being hit by the storm but still have power (we are few indeed) are feeling grateful. Last year I lived on the beach in CT, got pounded by Irene, and was without power for 10 days. This year I live hundreds of miles away, and Sandy moves inland... I could take it personally but I'm just so happy to have heat. |

Here in Denver the weather forecasters frequently get (snow)storm predictions wrong. They predict a foot of snow, schools close, and all we get is 1 or 2 inches. They say we're getting just 1 or 2 inches and we get 10 inches. I was so hoping the same would happy with Sandy. They predict disaster and it would change course out into the ocean or just not become the superstorm. Alas, it seems they got it right. Keeping everyone in my thoughts and prayers that you have found a safe place to ride out the storm and your home and property will not be damaged. |

seems alot quieter now,I drove out yesterday at noon to get a generator after searching and searching, I finally nailed one down. last night was so scary with trees hitting the windows, kids slept in the basement. Videos and pictures are shocking. Thoughts and prayers for anyone who was heavily affected |

Britain was once known around the world not just for bad cooking, but also for reliability and decency, symbolized by one of Britain's most recognizable icons: the bobby. With his hard blue hat and neat uniform, the British policeman had a reputation for being helpful and incorruptible.
That reputation is swiftly crumbling. A few months ago, the police were caught falsifying evidence on a huge scale. Back in 1989, nearly 100 football fans died as spectators tried to squeeze into a stadium. Now it has emerged that the police altered over a hundred witness statements to deflect blame from themselves. This wasn't the result of one corrupt officer: It was systemic deceit by a whole regional police force.

NFL Thoughts – 2013-14 NFL Off-Season Guide
The 2013-14 NFL season is officially in the books and man, was it a good one or what? We saw all sorts of unexpected things this year. We saw the lovely town of Seattle win their first professional football title. We saw the Kansas City Chiefs go from a two-win team to one of the best team's in the NFL. We saw the Carolina Panthers go from having a a joke of a head coach to turning that same guy into the NFL Coach of the Year. We also didn't see Tim Tebow start an NFL game this season, which is a good thing because finally the entire NFL world has come to the understanding that the guy just can't throw a football. If Bill Belichick can't find a way for you to contribute on the field, it might be time to embrace your inner acting and journalistic bone, which it appears as though Tebow is finally doing.
Anyway, with the 13-14 season behind us, it's time to look ahead. Before we get to next season's plate of games though, we have a wonderful thing called the NFL off-season and this little beauty is a guide that I wrote up to help NFL fans of all shapes and sizes see exactly what kind of shape their favorite NFL team is in headed into the off-season. In this guide, you will find all sorts of delicious information that I'm sure will overwhelm you, but that's what the NFL off-season does to people. It can be exhausting. If you don't believe me, just go interview your local favorite NFL general manager and ask him how much sleep he's been getting. Chances are he'll start repeating NFL combine 40 times and totally confuse the crap out of you.
So, without any further adieu. I present to you…..

Well, there I was standing at the crossroads feeling at a bit of a loss, when he showed up.
I must admit I was surprised.
"Hey up," he said.
I don't know what surprised me more, the fact that he actually existed, or the fact of his broad Yorkshire accent. His red skin seemed to glow in the cold night air and there seemed to be smoke curling around his hooves.
"Can I help you?" he said in the oleaginous manner of an over-eager car salesman, which was a bit ironic considering why I was standing at the crossroads.
"I dunno," I said. "My car's buggered." I nodded towards where the car stood, bonnet up and smoke pouring from a very knackered engine.
"Ah," he said. "Actually, to be honest, our kid, I'm not that hot on mechanical things. A bit after my time, if you know what mean?"
I nodded slowly and turned to walk away.
I'd hardly gone a dozen yards before he stopped me.
"I could help in other ways, y'know... for the usual fee?"
I turned.
Not that I'd ever had much use out of my soul as far as I could see. But if he existed – and he seemed to be doing rather a good job at it – then maybe the other one would exist too. I glanced heavenward.
"Oh, don't worry about Him up there," my new best friend said strolling up to me and putting a rather warm arm around my shoulder. "He buggered off millennia ago... easily bored, that's him Once he's created something and got it working, more or less, he loses interest. Anyway, as I was saying...."
"Hang on," I said. "What's with the Yorkshire accent?"
"Well... You've heard Yorkshire called God's own county?"
"It's true. Obviously, I used to work there before we... He.... Well, before our little misunderstanding, so obviously I have the accent."
"But I thought he banished you, y'know, to the other place?"
"Yes. He did. You've been to Leeds?"
"Oh, yes I have. I See... fair point."

They are not allowed to escort while under contract but some of them end up doing it after their release.
Being paid is being paid.Just saying.
omg, I would give anything to go out with a guy from there. They are so hot!!!
they have a contract- get out, escourt, pick up diseases, retuen to company (dolph lambert left and is now back- not saying he's dises=ased, just left/back) then they do 'condom free' scenes- you'd think Kristen Bjorn who lived through the devastation of the initial AIDS crisis in the porn world would be more sensitive to this- he's just another money whore!
Some former one's do. I think many profiles on site are fakes. You can find some in Czech Republic. One of the Peter's twins escorts and Ennio.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Tucker!
Facts about Tucker
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Tiger Striped
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Male
- ID#: Tucker
- Hair: Short
Tucker's Info...
I am up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with cats.
Tucker is a beautiful, large cat! He is an inside cat. He is friendly and affectionate and would make a great companion! He is a sponsored pet which means his adoption fee has been paid! The adoption fee include neutering, vaccinations, and worming!
Other Pets at Heber Springs Humane Society
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Tucker, a Heber Springs Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Heber Springs, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Heber Springs.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Heber Springs already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Heber Springs breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Heber Springs paves the way for another one to be saved.

Stairway Safety
A stairway, due to it's inherent dangers, as well as unsafe patterns of use by homeowners, are the sites of a surprising number of injuries. A careful assessment of the risks posed by a stairway can prevent unnecessary injuries.
Stairway Facts and Figures
- 1,638 people died from falls on steps and stairs in the United States in 2004. This figure is greater than the combined number of swimming pool and bathtub drownings for the same year, according to the National Safety Council. The actual number of stairway accidents is probably much higher, as many people who sustain injuries don't know why they fell, and others are too embarrassed to admit they fell, so these incidents go unreported.
- Elderly occupants are at particular risk of falling down a stairway, mostly due to impaired vision, reduced strength, and poor balance. For individuals age 65 and older, 260,000 are injured every year in falls on steps, stairs and escalators, according to the Centers for Disease Control.
- Handicapped and young children are also at increased risk of sustaining stairway injuries.
- In a study by Loughborough University in England, one-third of surveyed households admitted to leaving objects on stairs, presenting a serious trip hazard.
- In addition to potential physical injury, falls can cause serious psychological and social consequences, affecting confidence, mobility, and general well-being, according to the same study.
While residents might already be aware of stairway abnormalities, their guests may not be prepared for irregular steps or inadequate headroom height, for instance. Prospective buyers, too, are safer hearing about such irregularities from you than learning through experience after they purchase the home. The following is a partial list of defects you may find in a stairway:
- Handrail is loose, incomplete, missing, splintery, not of a contrasting color with its background, or has insufficient finger clearance. As a deck stairway may be open on both sides, missing handrails there put occupants at serious risk.
- Treads are cracked, uneven, worn, loose or poorly supported.
- Risers are of uneven height.
- Stairway lighting is poor, shadows are numerous, or the corridor leading to the stairs is dark. It's helpful to have a light switch installed at the top and bottom of each staircase.
- Floor is waxed, increasing chances of slipping.
- Exterior steps are not sloped to prevent water settlement and icing.
- Stairway carpeting slides or is not firmly affixed to stairs. Double-sided tape or tacks may be used to prevent slipping.
- Balusters are spaced more than 4 inches apart, allowing a child to potentially slip through and get trapped.
- Stairs are not ergonomically designed.
- Stairs are too steep.
- Platform or landing surface is not slip-resistant, and/or has a sharp object, blunt wall, or window located in the direction of a possible fall.
- Nosing is missing, broken, worn, patched, loose, slippery, or not installed properly.
- Sharp corners are on stair elements.
- Stairway headroom is insufficient.
- There is no safety gate at the top of stairs in a home with small children.
Note that some design defects would be difficult or cost-prohibitive to remedy, so this would require rebuilding of the stairs.
Other tips to reduce the chance of stairway falls include:
- Start a regular exercise program, if you haven't already. Inactivity leads to weakness, inflexibility, and an increased risk of falling.
- Remove trip hazards, such as clothes, shoes, toys and/or books from stairs and other places where you walk.
- Improve the lighting around the stairs. As you age, you'll need brighter lights to see well. Lampshades or frosted bulbs will reduce glare.
- Senior citizens should wear shoes that provide good support and have thin, non-slip soles. Avoid lightweight slippers or shoes with deep treads, as they can reduce your feeling of control.
- Do not carry heavy items up and down stairs, especially if the item blocks your view of the steps. Also, always hold the handrails.
- Install a second handrail for additional support. A second handrail will also provide support for two individuals as they pass each other.
Child proofing using safety gates to help prevent falls down a stairway and to keep children away from dangerous areas. Look for safety gates that children cannot dislodge easily, but that adults can open and close without difficulty. For the top of stairs, gates that screw into the wall are more secure than "pressure gates."
New stairway safety gates that meet safety standards display a certification seal from the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA). If you have an older safety gate, be sure it doesn't have "V" shapes that are large enough for a child's head and neck to fit into.
FYI, a stairway can pose a serious safety risk for building occupants, but these risks can be minimized by adequate stair construction and safe practices.

Build Your Own Coupe
Why not, I did.
BRG II with Black Roof. And I really love those wheels! Interior looks something like this.
Classy, right?
Oh yea, because it's how I roll, this is configured as a Cooper, price is $31,000US. Cooper S came to $32,500.
If wishing made it so. Go on, do some wishing of your own.
Some other changes that you might have missed.
- When ordering JCW Package (as opposed to a JCW MINI), you can not order it with Spice Orange
- When Ordering a BRG II (pictured above) hardtop (R56), you are not able to specify the Toffee interior, but you can on the coupe.
What did you find that struck you as weird? How much is your Coupe going to cost? Sound off below!

what? no hot chocolate?! Cooper S, Sports Package, MINI Connected w Nav… not too shabby. ;)
Configured price $45,723 Mine will be less because some of those items will be purchased over time. From the factory it comes out $40,700 that makes me feel just a bit better.
I went through a similar S vs Cooper pricing with the configurator when I got my mini. Came to the same conclusion – similarly equipped the difference in cost was under 2000. For that you got another 70hp and better brakes.

Chapter10: Property, Plant, and Equipment and Intangible Assets: Acquisition and Disposition
Costs to be Capitalized
p. 504
Property, Plant, and Equipment
Although most costs can be identified easily, others are more difficult. For example, the costs of training personnel to operate machinery could be considered a cost necessary to make the asset ready for use. However, because it is difficult to measure the amount of training costs associated with specific assets, these costs usually are expensed. Consider Illustration 10-1. COST OF LAND. The cost of land also should include each expenditure needed to get the land ready for its intended use. These include the purchase price plus closing costs such as fees for the attorney, real estate agent commissions, title and title search, and recording. If the property is subject to back taxes, liens, mortgages, or other obligations, these amounts are included also. In addition, any expenditures such as clearing, filling, draining, and even removing (razing) old buildings that are needed to prepare the land for its intended use are part of the land's cost. Proceeds from the sale of salvaged materials from old buildings torn down after purchase reduce the cost of land. Illustration 10-2 provides an example. p. 505
COST OF BUILDINGS. The cost of acquiring a building usually includes realtor commissions and legal fees in addition to the purchase price. Quite often a building must be refurbished, remodeled, or otherwise modified to suit the needs of the new owner. These reconditioning costs are part of the building's acquisition cost. When a building is constructed rather than purchased, unique accounting issues are raised. We discuss these in the "Self-Constructed Assets" section of this chapter. COST OF NATURAL RESOURCES. Natural resources oil and gas deposits, timber tracts, and mineral deposits. that provide long-term benefits are reported as property, plant, and equipment. These include timber tracts, mineral deposits, and oil and gas deposits. They can be distinguished from other assets by the fact that their benefits are derived from their physical consumption. For example, mineral deposits are physically diminishing as the minerals are extracted from the ground and either sold or used in the production process.3 On the contrary, equipment, land, and buildings produce benefits for a company through their use in the production of goods and services. Unlike those of natural resources, their physical characteristics usually remain unchanged during their useful lives.
ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS. Sometimes a company incurs obligations associated with the disposition of property, plant, and equipment and natural resources, often as a result of acquiring those assets. For example, an oil and gas exploration company might be required to restore land to its original condition after extraction is completed. Before 2001, there was considerable diversity in the ways companies accounted for these obligations. Some companies recognized these asset retirement obligations obligations associated with the disposition of an operational asset. (AROs) gradually over the life of the asset while others did not recognize the obligations until the asset was retired or sold.
Measurement. A company recognizes the fair value of an ARO in the period it's incurred. The liability increases the valuation of the related asset. Usually, the fair value is estimated by calculating the present value of estimated future cash outflows. Present Value Calculations. Traditionally, the way uncertainty has been considered in present value calculations has been by discounting the "best estimate" of future cash flows applying a discount rate that has been adjusted to reflect the uncertainty or risk of those cash flows. That's not the approach we take here. Instead, we follow the approach described in the FASB's Concept Statement No. 75 which is to adjust the cash flows, not the discount rate, for the uncertainty or risk of those cash flows. This expected cash flow approach adjusts the cash flows, not the discount rate, for the uncertainty or risk of those cash flows. incorporates specific probabilities of cash flows into the analysis. We use a discount rate equal to the credit-adjusted risk free rate. The higher a company's credit risk, the higher will be the discount rate. All other uncertainties or risks are incorporated into the cash flow probabilities. We first considered an illustration of this approach in Chapter 6. Illustration 10-3 demonstrates the approach in connection with the acquisition of a natural resource. As we discuss in Chapter 11, the cost of the coal mine is allocated to future periods as depletion using a depletion rate based on the estimated amount of coal discovered. The $600,000 cost of the excavation equipment, less any anticipated residual value, is allocated to future periods as depreciation. The difference between the asset retirement liability of $468,360 and the probability weighted expected cash outflow of $590,000 is recognized as accretion expense, an additional expense that accrues as an operating expense, over the three-year excavation period. This process increases the liability to $590,000 by the end of the excavation period. If the actual restoration costs are more (less) than the $590,000, a loss (gain) on retirement of the obligation is recognized for the difference. St. Mary Land & Exploration Company is engaged in the exploration, development, acquisition, and production of natural gas and crude oil. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, St. Mary reported $123 million in asset retirement obligations in its balance sheet. Graphic 10-4 describes the company's policy and provides a summary of disclosure requirements.
Sometimes, after exploration or development, it becomes apparent that continuing the project is economically infeasible. If that happens, any costs incurred are expensed rather than capitalized. An exception is in the oil and gas industry, where we have two generally accepted accounting alternatives for accounting for projects that prove unsuccessful. We discuss these alternatives in Appendix 10. Intangible Assets
When a patent is developed internally, the research and development costs of doing so are expensed as incurred. We discuss research and development in more detail in a later section. We capitalize legal and filing fees to secure the patent, even if internally developed. p. 510COPYRIGHTS. A copyright exclusive right of protection given to a creator of a published work, such as a song, painting, photograph, or book. is an exclusive right of protection given to a creator of a published work, such as a song, film, painting, photograph, or book. Copyrights are protected by law and give the creator the exclusive right to reproduce and sell the artistic or published work for the life of the creator plus 70 years. Accounting for the costs of copyrights is virtually identical to that of patents.
Trademarks can be very valuable. The estimated value of $69 billion for the Coca-Cola trademark mentioned previously is a good example. Note that the cost of the trademark reported in the balance sheet is far less than the estimate of its worth to the company. The Coca-Cola Company's 2008 balance sheet disclosed trademarks at a cost of only $6 billion.
The owner of that McDonald's outlet paid McDonald's Corporation a fee in exchange for the exclusive right to use the McDonald's name and to sell its products within a specified geographical area. In addition, many franchisors provide other benefits to the franchisee, such as participating in the construction of the retail outlet, training of employees, and national advertising. Payments to the franchisor usually include an initial payment plus periodic payments over the life of the franchise agreement. The franchisee capitalizes as an intangible asset the initial franchise fee plus any legal costs associated with the contract agreement. The franchise asset is then amortized over the life of the franchise agreement. The periodic payments usually relate to services provided by the franchisor on a continuing basis and are expensed as incurred. Most purchased intangibles are specifically identifiable. That is, cost can be directly associated with a specific intangible right. An exception is goodwill, which we discuss next.
Of course, a company can develop its own goodwill through advertising, training, and other efforts. In fact, most do. However, a company must expense all such costs incurred in the internal generation of goodwill. By not capitalizing these items, accountants realize that the matching principle is violated because many of these expenditures do result in significant future benefits. Also, it's difficult to compare two companies when one has purchased goodwill and the other has not. But imagine how difficult it would be to associate these expenditures with any objective measure of goodwill. In essence, we have a situation where the characteristic of faithful representation overshadows relevance.

2 Exceptions are land and certain intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives. Costs to acquire these assets also produce future benefits and therefore are capitalized, but unlike other property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets, their costs are not systematically expensed in future periods as depreciation or amortization. 3 Because of this characteristic, natural resources sometimes are called wasting assets. 4 FASB ASC 410–20–25: Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations–Asset Retirement Obligations–Recognition (previously "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143 (Norwalk, Conn.: FASB, 2001)). 5 "Using Cash Flow Information and Present Value in Accounting Measurements," Statement of Financial Accounting Concepts No. 7 (Norwalk, Conn.: FASB, 2000). 6 This $69 billion represents an estimate of the fair value to the company at the time the estimate was made, not the historical cost valuation that appears in the balance sheet of Coca-Cola. 7 FASB ASC 350–30–35–1: Intangibles–Goodwill and Other–General Intangibles Other Than Goodwill–Subsequent Measurement, and FASB ASC 350–20–35–1: Intangibles–Goodwill and Other–Goodwill–Subsequent Measurement (previously "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (Norwalk, Conn.: FASB, 2001)). 8 FASB ASC 805: Business Combinations (previously "Business Combinations," Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised) (Norwalk, Conn.: FASB, 2007)). 9Ibid. 10 An assembled workforce is an example of an intangible asset that is not recognized as a separate asset. A workforce does not represent a contractual or legal right, nor is it separable from the company as a whole. |

Serves: 12
Yields: 12 servings, 3 oz. lamb and 2/3 cup couscous each (plus leftover lamb)
Prep Time: 45 min
U.S. | Metric | Conversion chart |
- 1 4- to 4 1/2-pound boneless leg of lamb, trimmed
- 1 cup(s) nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- 2/3 cup(s) (about 4 ounces) coarsely chopped fresh ginger
- 4 clove(s) (large) garlic
- 2 stick(s) (3 inches each) cinnamon
- 2 teaspoon(s) black peppercorns
- 1.5 teaspoon(s) kosher or sea salt
- 2 tablespoon(s) canola oil
- 1 large red bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
- 1/4 cup(s) (about 1 1/2 ounces) finely chopped fresh ginger
- 1 pound(s) Israeli couscous (see Tip)
- 1.5 teaspoon(s) kosher or sea salt
- 1 teaspoon(s) coarsely ground pepper
- 8 cup(s) (about 1 small bunch) thinly sliced kale, tough ribs removed
- 4 cup(s) vegetable broth or water
- Fold lamb into a compact, relatively uniform shape. (If your lamb is in the oven-safe netted bag used by most supermarkets, remove the bag; most of the outside crust will fall off if you remove it after roasting.) Tie in about 5 spots using kitchen string; securing it. Make 4 to 6 gashes in the meat, about 1/4 inch deep. Place the roast in a shallow pan.
- To prepare marinade: Combine yogurt, 2/3 cup ginger, garlic, cinnamon sticks, peppercorns, and salt in a blender. Puree, scraping down the sides as needed, to make a slightly gritty paste, speckled with spices.
- Pour the marinade over the lamb and massage it into the meat, making sure you get it into the gashes. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours.
- Preheat oven to 425ºF. Line a roasting pan with foil, place a roasting rack in the pan and spray with cooking spray. While the oven heats, let the lamb stand at room temperature.
- Transfer the lamb to the prepared rack. (Reserve the marinade left behind.) Add 1 cup hot water to the roasting pan. Roast the lamb for 15 minutes. Baste with the reserved marinade.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 325°. Continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the roast registers 135ºF (for medium-rare), 1 3/4 to 2 1/4 hours more.
- To prepare couscous: About 20 minutes before the lamb is done, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Add bell pepper and 1/4 cup ginger and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Stir in couscous, salt and pepper; cook, stirring, until the couscous is lightly toasted, 3 to 5 minutes. Add kale and broth (or water); the pan will be full. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer, stirring once or twice, until the liquid is absorbed and the couscous is tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork and spread the mixture on a large serving platter.
- Let the meat rest on a clean cutting board for 10 minutes. Cut off the string, cut the lamb into 1/2-inch-thick slices and arrange on the bed of couscous.
Exchanges: 2 starch, 1 vegetable, 3 medium-fat meat Carbohydrate Servings: 2 1/2 Nutrition Bonus: Vitamin A (153% daily value), Vitamin C (120% dv), Zinc (26% dv), Iron (20% dv), Potassium (15% dv).
Tips & Techniques
Tip: Israeli couscous is small, pearl-shaped pasta made from semolina flour (not to be confused with tiny-grained, quick-cooking couscous). Look for it near other Middle Eastern dry goods in well-stocked supermarkets or specialty foods stores. If you can't find it, orzo can be used as a substitute.

This is a basic, water-soluble cleanser that's an OK, inexpensive option for combination to oily skin, assuming the dry areas of your combination skin aren't markedly dry.
The formula removes excess oil and makeup and contains a mix of potentially helpful and potentially problematic plant extracts along with an anti-inflammatory fatty acid but the benefit from these would be rinsed down the drain as you would never want to leave a cleanser on the face of this type for longer than a few seconds. The "Exclusive Fruit Radiance blend" has no research proving it does anything special for pores.
It cannot clean pores any "deeper" than most other gel-type cleansers, but it rinses without a residue, so pores will appear smaller, albeit for a short period of time, just like most every other cleanser in the world can do (simply removing excess surface oil and debris will make pores look a bit smaller right after cleansing).
ULTA's Daily Cleanser works to deep clean pores without drying skin. Exclusive Fruit Radiance blend reduces the appearance of pore size and shine.

Since Ulta was founded in 1990, the company has continued to carve out a unique position as a specialty beauty store by offering a large selection of upscale and drugstore cosmetics in all price ranges, all under one roof. There are currently over 675 Ulta locations across the United States, and, like Sephora, Ulta sells its own product line right alongside more familiar brands such as Revlon, Murad, and philosophy.
The Ulta Collection offers a variety of basic makeup products, from foundation to eye shadow to lip gloss. Nearly all items in the Ulta Collection are inexpensive, and its lower price point is a major draw.
As with most cosmetics lines, Ulta has its share of good and bad products; however, it seems for every good to great makeup product the line has two average-to-poor options. Testers may or may not be available, so choose wisely.
Among the safer categories of Ulta makeup are the eyeshadows, many of the mascaras, brow products, and most of the foundations, particularly the cream-to-powder and powder formulas.
Despite our enthusiasm for Ulta's large selection of eyeshadow, the quality is inconsistent, especially when it comes to texture and how they apply, even among different shades in the same category. The best way to shop this line is to pay attention to which products we've reviewed favorably and to take extra time to play with the products in-store (assuming the Ulta you frequent keeps testers available).
In recent years, Ulta has branched out from makeup to skin care. Their namesake skin care has the same affordable price point as the makeup, and some of the products are actually quite good. Skip the cleansers, ignore the moisturizers in jar packaging, and forget about the pore-tightening products...the rest is worth exploring, but again, this is not a brand to shop without some knowledge of what you're buying and how it performs.

PATNA: Taking a cue from RBI governor D Subbarao's statement that industries of Bihar need holistic development, the Bihar Industries Association (BIA) has stated this is important to strengthen local industries to attract outside investment.
Talking to TOI, BIA president K P S Keshri called for government support and tax concessions to local industries till they reach a level-playing field to compete with the industries of other states. He said the suggestion of Planning Commission's deputy chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia at the 'Global Summit on Changing Bihar' for withdrawing tax concessions to industries was not practical in the case of Bihar as the state's industries were yet to develop, gain strength and prosper.
He said that Bihar Industrial Incentive Policy 2006 and 2011 were among the best such policies in the country, but their implementation remained tardy due to apathy of subordinate and field staff of the state government. "Even the State Investment Promotion Board (SIPB), which had its origin in single window system, has been giving only in-principle approval for setting up industries. Most of the promoters and entrepreneurs have to wait and move around for final approval of their industrial projects," Keshri said.
Keshri reiterated the BIA demand for allowing Private Public Partnership (PPP), under which a private entrepreneur or group of entrepreneurs could purchase industrial plot of around 25 acres with government providing the cost for development of industrial infrastructure on it. Under such a policy, industries in the manufacturing, service, food processing industries and other sectors could have their own separate clusters to house their units.
Under PPP mode, common facility centres should be established at least at Muzaffarpur, Hajipur, Patna and Bhagalpur for providing cold chain for vegetables, fruits, fruit products and pulp. This will enable value addition to farm products which could be marketed in big cities and other distant places. The Union government provides 50% subsidy for such infrastructure development, he stated, adding an air cargo complex should also be established at the Patna airport. He stressed on proactive role by the government in giving purchase preference to quality products of local industries.

As I have been politely asked to refrain from correcting misinformation on another thread and to start my own, I shall heed that advice.
Here is a conversation about the misinformation about worms from a thread on GW in 2008.: "5) Life. How many earthworms per shovel full were there? 5 or more indicates a pretty healthy soil. Fewer than 5, according to the Natural Resources Conservation Service, indicates a soil that is not healthy." attempt to correct misinformation: The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service Soil Quality Agronomy Technical Note No. 11 really says: "Many people consider earthworms to be an indicator of soil quality because they respond to and contribute to healthy soil. For earthworms to be abundant, a field must meet several conditions that are also associated with soil quality and agricultural sustainability: moderate pH, surface residue for food and protection, and soil that is not waterlogged, compacted, droughty, or excessively sandy. Not all healthy soils will have earthworms." Maybe there is another link that supports what you state or maybe there are two Natural Resources Conservation Services." rebuttal to correction: "As Xxxxx well knows there are not two Natural Resources Conservation Services of the USDA, but may not be aware that there are numerous publications from that source that can appear to be contradictory. The particular article that states that may take some time to find, again." reply to rebuttal: "If/when you find it, I'd really like to read it. Seems to me that after more than one year of telling you of the existence of the contradictory information, you would have cited your source or modified your post, but alas it appears not to be the case. I'm sure the USDA would also like to know they have contradictory data out there.
There has never been a link provided to an article that supports the 'no worms = unhealthy soil' claim. If any person wishes to dispute the accuracy of this information, please feel free to do so, I will not be offended to be corrected. Lloyd |
Follow-Up Postings:
.. Lloyd, I suppose if one cites a specific source they should be able to produce it but, must we qualify every statement to death? Must we get to the point where if we make ladders we need to post warnings to not stand the ladder in unstable ground? I know I've been lazy and didn't include every little if, and or, but but, isn't everything about Soil, Compost and, Mulch local? Don't we all come to realize that locality issue at some point? I've missed some of the conversation that has brought you to this uncharacteristic point and I'm going to be real happy to stand to one side but, I've got some one accusing me of being petty and vindictive just because I'm asking questions about the terms being used on another post. Perhaps I've reacted badly to that accusation. I'm tired of being placed in the mean box simply because I ask questions. It's time we all stop and consider that the motives of folks 'round here aren't evil. I'm guilty. I've reacted badly. I want to share in what others have learned and of what they have found to be true and maybe I can part some of the things I've found to be of value. I think that's what everyone else that makes the effort to come here hopes to do so too. For myself, I promise to grant others the benefit of the doubt here on this forum. to sense |
Hi rott...Thanks for your insight. I honestly believe the "accusation" you are referring to was targetted at me. You just got in between a couple of posts and were 'collateral damage'. I could be wrong though and will let the person that made the statement calrify this if he/she wishes to. I believe I have been consistent since day one regarding clarification of the "worm" claim so I do not see this as being uncharacteristic. All I asked for (and still ask for) is proof to back up the 'no worms = unhealthy soil' claim. Most credible people on most forums will always give clarification if asked for it so including "every little if, and or, but" isn't always necessary, that is the nature of a conversation, ask questions if one is unsure. I believe that if a person is going to attribute a claim to a bona-fide institution, then they ought to be able to provide links when they are asked for them. Espcially, as in this case, the instituion in question has a clear and concise publication completely opposed to the claim being made. I respect people and give them the benefit of the doubt until such time as they demonstrate to me that they no longer deserve my respect or they remove all doubt as to the quality of their information. I expect there are many here who disregard most everything I say, I have no problem with that. Lloyd |
- Posted by jonhughes So.Oregon (email@example.com) on Sun, Feb 6, 11 at 2:06
Lloyd, You didn't look hard enough. I found over a hundred posts, right here on GW, that say that exact thing. "5) Life. How many earthworms per shovel full were there? 5 or more indicates a pretty healthy soil. Fewer than 5, according to the Natural Resources Conservation Service, indicates a soil that is not healthy." So, with that many references, it must be true ;-) Besides that, mine are VERY frisky ;-0 |
...slaps forehead with palm... ;-) Still working on those pumpkin seeds for ya. I may have to trade a bit of compost for them. No problem though, I have lots of compost! Saw your recent pic of the pile 'o manure, are you going to have to expand your bins or are you just going to incorporate into the raised beds? Lloyd |

Yeah, I bit off way more than I can chew, I am just such a freakin' compost whacko, that even though my Compost bins are completely filled up and all of my beds are topped off, I couldn't resist having another 10 yards of steer manure delivered to mix wih the 10+ yards of leaves I had sitting under that tarp, and lets not mention all the bags I still have in that gigantic trailer OY VEY Not Whacko...more like Whack Job ;-) |
That windrow is a beaut! You can never have too much compost I always say. But wait a minute...is that ((GASP)) frost on those bags and the distant roof tops??!! I thought Oregon was the land of perpetual composting weather??!! We managed to get to almost the freezing point so I took the snow blower over to the multi's so's I could get at 'em. Couldn't turn them but I managed to throw a couple of months worth of kitchen scraps into them. I'm getting sick of winter. Lloyd |
Well Lloyd I attempted to bring it up once but soon got tired of bumping my head against the wall. Go digging for worms in my yard/garden two weeks after a rain and good luck buddy! Five shovelfuls of soil for one worm is more like it. Yet I can till up a spot and plant any thing I want and it grows well. My soil is silt loam northern prairie prime farming soil. Of course after a rain at night the crawlers come out but 5 per shovel? no not even 5 per square foot. So now I just smile and turn my head. You are just tired of winter, ehy! ;) Curt |
Of course, what does "healthy soil" precisely mean? I think what most people think of is a soil with a lot of silt and consequently OM build-up, and thus many earthworms. As Lloyd's link correctly points out, there are many other soil structures that support plants but not worms. Not to mention that apparently large portions of north america never had earthworms until a few centuries ago, or less. They are introduced in those regions. |
Hey Lloyd, stick to your guns. The interwebz are full of so much BS that asking for citation regarding a claim is de rigueur. Anecdotally, I have "healthy" soil (my definition being healthy plants and healthy consumers thereof), but few lumbricus. |
More unnecessary blather about something that is of little value and in reality contributes very little worthwhile information. |
Oh, I don't know if it's unnecessary blather. In fact, I think this right here is a good example that hits the nail on the head: "And while you are at it, maybe also add a note about seasonal/diurnal fluctuation in earthworms and their movements so that anyone who follows your "advice" doesn't panic get overly concerned when no earthworms are found." If you say something that's not really true, there is a real and significant potential for people to expend time, money, energy and worry over fixing something that doesn't need to be fixed. That's a bad thing. Also consider what often happens when you try to fix something that ain't broke. Confusion of terms is also a real concern. To dig up the structure, texture thing on the other thread let me throw out a little hypothetical scenario: |
We just have to hope that an answer-seeker here can parse the didactic and inflexible advice from more balanced and nuanced counsel. |
Turkey trots to water. Some might say the "unnecessary", in "unnecessary blather", would be redundant. Is there ever necessary blather? The world wonders. ;-) Lloyd |
I have never eaten a worm, but I did eat an ant once. It was on a ripe red raspberry, that I picked off a cane in our patch one summer. It tasted terrible, & after that, I have been careful to look over the raspberry before I put it into my mouth. Regarding worms, we have them in our native soil, but I don't see them in the soil around our blueberry shrubs, where the pH is maintained between 4.5 and 6. I don't know if the soil beneath our blueberry shrubs is healthy, but the shrubs are healthy, so I am inclined to say that the soil is healthy, also. |
My take on earthworms......Where there is a fresh abundance of organic mater and sufficient moisture, earthworms tend to be more abundant. Now when that soil is extra dry or frozen, the worms go elsewhere. Like right now .....if I were to dig for worms [likely frozen], I might not find any!!! I remember when I had a new submersible well pump installed, the man dumped in some chlorine in the well and then pumped it out. It seemed hundreds if not thousands of worms came out of a small grassy area in my lawn!!! Now another thing along the line of not posting things that are troubling without some proof. I have read on more than one source that microwaves "ruin" water. Some of it likely goes back to an "urban ledgend" that Snopes laid to near rest. I wish those scare people were required to produce some proof. |
This is great! The persons that I have learned the most from all on the same thread. 5 earthworms per shove full of soil sounds like a good rule, earth worms will stay in the best soil they can find. But no earth worms proves nothing unless you put earth worms in your soil a few week ago. I have no earth worms at all & I turn my soil with shove & tiller. I use coffee waste(I know some of you are tired of hearing about this CW)& CW bring in the Japanese beetle & green fruit grubs, but no earthworms. So how do I know, I have healthy soil. 1) It grows every thing that I transplant, most that I plant from seeds( plant some seeds to deep & learned the hard way). Every seed that comes up, grows. 2) I have no disease or physiological disorder in four years of growing here. 3) Only a few bad bugs, none slowed my crops from producing more then I could eat & put up, So I gave most of it away. 4) I lost plants to freezing & not watering as often as I needed too. My large garden is 16 miles from my home on my farm, so I water it one or two times a week, even with mulch, sometimes that is not enough in 105F heat & sandy soil. I plan to seed my newer beds with earth worms come spring, to work the waste coffee that I have spread 12- 18 inches deep on the site of the new beds. But I do not care what they do after they compost the waste. They can stay or go as they see fit. They are not pets, just hired workers who get paid with all they can eat. |
Keep in mind seasonal and diurnal variations. There are peaks and valleys as far as population numbers go, so that would also reflect on the number of worms being around at any given time of the year. Steve Solomon had a graph about this but I can't find a link to it right now. :-( I have fields that when I am cultivating, I have a 'carpet' of seagulls following in my trail. At other times, on the same field, there will be nary a one. The quality of the soil has not changed, it's just a variance on the worm population or soil conditions (moisture/temperature) that determines if worms will be 'present'. If I have an option, I will try to defer tillage until late afternoon/early evening on a sunny day, seems to be less carnage at that time. So, my take on the worm test? Having worms (or even worm casts) present, usually means that your soil is favorable for worms and that generally denotes decent soil. The absence of worms (or worm casts), just means that there are no worms, it does not necessarily mean your soil is not healthy. Lloyd |
The absence of worms (or worm casts), just means that there are no worms, it does not necessarily mean your soil is not healthy." Exactly, and contrary to what some here seem to think I never said anything that would not also support that. The presence of earthworms is an INDICATION of the presence also of the Soil Food Web. Since earthworms live on soil organic matter the absence of them may indicate your soil does not have sufficient levels of organic matter to be a good healthy soil. Then too, some soils with very large amounts of organic matter will not have any earthworms because it is a swamp and the soil is too saturated with water for earthworms to live in, much less many plants although some have adapted to that environment. As it states, very clearly in that sentence, "5 or more INDICATES a pretty healthy soil." because the environment created is one that the earthworms would find immensly liveable. |
To borrow a phrase from Jon...Oy Vey! Kimm, you have put the following line... "Fewer than 5, according to the Natural Resources Conservation Service, indicates a soil that is not healthy." ...in your soil test since I've been on this forum. Just do what I suggested in 2008, drop the "fewer than 5" sentence entirely, it is not correct. And if you are finally going to fix that error, why not just change the structure/texture thing as well. Then we can let these threads slowly drift off. Lloyd |
I agree with Lloyd. If one is going to post "scary" things, the onus is on them to provide decent proof. |
To be honest Kimm, I like the sentence you posted here: Since earthworms live on soil organic matter the absence of them may indicate your soil does not have sufficient levels of organic matter to be a good healthy soil. I think it would be a reasonable substitute for: Fewer than 5, according to the Natural Resources Conservation Service, indicates a soil that is not healthy. Now, that structure/texture thing..... |

The NRCS should have stated that less than five worms indicates that there is no food source present in that soil for them. This might seem like a simplistic statement, but it just makes common sense to me... Let's take my experience in the last ten years as an example. In 2001 we moved to a property which had not been 'gardened', therefore the soil had never been amended. DH went digging for worms in the spring to go trout fishing. After 14 holes, he gave up. Not one worm. Yet this soil wasn't that bad - after all I started gardening and everything grew well. In subsequent years I added UCGs and some compost. Now all DH has to do is go out and take the crown of a plant, jiggle it a bit to make the soil vibrate underneath, and out come the worms. No shovel required. So maybe it's that the soil is 'healthier' when the worms are present due to a food source and not that it is 'not healthy' when there is less than 5. I'll crawl back into my hole now.... |
"The NRCS should have stated that less than five worms indicates that there is no food source present in that soil for them." A problem with a statement like that though, is if the test is performed when the worms are not naturally present due to seasonal or diurnal variation, then it means little. I would suggest this line (along with an appropriate link); "They are not essential to all healthy soil systems, but their presence is usually an indicator of a healthy system." ...courtesy of the Natural Resources Conservation Service of the USDA and leave it at that.

58f! at midday. We should be middle 70's-at least. Its like living on the Farralon islands smack in the middle of the cold Alaskan current. No sun,breezy..chilled hands outside. The SF eastbay is the land of no May! |

Yeah, I know, I planted a lot of seeds, because of the so called light rains. |
- Posted by firsthouse_mp (My Page) on Mon, May 30, 11 at 23:57
I HATE waking up every morning only to hear that the temp will be 65. I am totally ready for 85. However, my beets, turnips, lettuce and winter greens are adoring the mild spring. |
- Posted by hosenemesis SoCal Sunset 19 USDA (My Page) on Tue, May 31, 11 at 0:58
I'm with the beets. |
I don't like waking up to rain every morning, like today. Al |
At this point, I'm wondering if I should plant my fall broccoli and cabbage early. |
I'm loving this weather! I can't stand it when it gets too hot, or too cold, but this -- perfect! I've been able to do lots of yard work as a result. Of course, aside from tomatoes, I didn't plant anything else of significance. |
- Posted by still_kris z17 NoCA (My Page) on Tue, May 31, 11 at 13:19
Rain gets old, but what it brings is well worth the inconvenience, imho. We are used to this in Humboldt County, after all. Would not trade the peace, quiet and wide open spaces of NoCal for all the sun down below. |
I planted based on 75-85F summer temps over a lifetime..and one near summer month is gone and we ave. 66f..thats 3-7F below average-depending on station. Seven degree's per day is a lot of warmth lost!..two Mays in a row too. |
I'm just afraid come August-Oct we are going to get blasted with heat, winds and fires. I rarely see any May gray or June gloom of maybe 2-3 days so I'm ok with it being cooler. The loser is...SoCal Edison...lol |
- Posted by tropical_thought San Francisco (My Page) on Tue, May 31, 11 at 21:31
What is terrible about this rain. It's not enough to actually water, but enough to cause weeds to sprout and fungal diseases to appear. It is good for sprouting seeds. |
The ch.2 weatherman pronounced "It doesnt get any colder that it is today,for this time if year". Someplace, it's warm on June 1st. Not here..bwaahhh!-lol. |
Just read this from the Western Farm Press, which is a killer to someone like me who wants to be in the ocean as often as possible. =================== West CoastŌĆ©/Pacific Northwest "June Gloom" might get a late start this summer, but could persist well into the summer along the California beaches. Although La Nina is weakening and transitioning to a more neutral state, Pacific Ocean waters will still be colder than normal, giving the extreme West Coast, including beach areas, a persistent chill. "The West Coast will have near- or below-normal temperatures as the cold [ocean temperatures] hangs on through the summer, while the interior West heats up," Pastelok said. |

The only remedy that I've thought of for coming year is plant lots of winter veggies. That way, if it stays cold, your beets and chards win, and if it warms up, your tomatoes win. Either way you get happy! :-) But seriously, I'll love to be able to stow away my sweaters and jackets. |
If you were in Alaska you would be covered with mosquito bites. I'll take grey bay area over that any day. |
Now,we are getting tornados in norcal...and you only had to look at the clouds that bordered the eastbay hills to the inlands clear to see tiny little vortexes forming like bangs. Best I can describe-lol. Saturday- thunderstorms..and not even a pineapple express running errant in June,nope,just another cold northern storm like a day in January. For all the talk of "good for the fire season"..I wonder folks,because I see that other than annual grasses,other perennials like the mustards and milkweeds are huge and still growing. A hot mid summer and fall is going to be something for nor cal to worry about. |
That is exactly it Stanofh, the extra rain is just producing more growth to dry out for even bigger fires. |
I absolutely love it! Another cool summer, YAY! I'm ducking now to get out of the way of those rocks you guys are throwing at me, but I really liked last summer, thought our extra rain this winter was wonderful, and telling me that we'll have another cool summer just makes my day. Lower water bills....... |
"Unprecedented rains" are forecast for the bay area-up to 2". They even said possible flooding. They didnt say if it will reach soucal..the bay area seems to be target and bullseye. |
I sure would like to get it down here, but I don't think anything is coming our way...sigh. We've been lucky to get what we've gotten so far. |
wcg10,I cant figure why soucal is missed OR why Seattle is having a nice weekend in the 70's?..why the central California coast is-sorta- cursed. But I can say though-I've never seen such lushness in the bay area(in a half century of being around)...parks and tree's are luxuriant in growth,not a single plant with a single wilted leaf. Street tree's look like they are on water..when they are just taking in rain. |
Things look better here than they have in years. My last remaining big old avocado has never looked this good. If I got to vote on this, I'd be very in favor of keeping this weather permanently. |
While reading these posts, I noticed sunlight breaking through the branches of buckthorn outside nearby window. Now it's gone. I think we've had an inch of rain in north bay today. Still, I'd rather be here than near the banks of the Mississippi or Missouri Rivers or in states that had drought-fed wildfires this last winter. Trying not to whine takes a lot of energy. |
I cannot believe that we're getting actual rain here...in June! It's worth being up in the middle of the night just to listen to it with the doors and windows open.. |

I know, wcgypsy! I was woken up last night and could not figure out what the noise was for a minute or two. I realized it was raining!?! In June. We got a fair amount of rain, too, I was really surprised. I just planted about 20 plants yesterday and Saturday, so I'm sure my new plants were pretty happy about their nice sprinkling! Patty S. |
- Posted by deep___roots ca9/sunset15 (My Page) on Mon, Jun 6, 11 at 11:38
It's another gray day in the Bay Area. I would like some sun soon, but this weather is not unpleasant. It's not cold. The rainfall has been light. If you go down in the soil an inch, it is dry. I have been planting seeds of warm annuals like Zinnias. And doing some weeding and pruning. Most of my plants look real good. The tomatoes are looking fine although they probably would like some heat. |
Alright-the June weather is here..a 65f was predicted and it went to the low 70's instead. The power of June sunlight. THIS week will be big-planting and repotting,and that dang weeding... |
