I planted seeds in a wastebasket that was cracked in the bottom, just for giggles. I have no patio, balcony, nothing, but I had an urge to grow. I set up a little "garden" area in the mulch rock across the sidewalk from our door. I really didn't think I had cucumbers on it yet, but just kinda moved some leaves aside, and WOW! AND, it tasted good. I was afraid it might be bitter, but it was YUM! I sliced it up and sprinkled with vinegar and fresh ground pepper. HEAVEN. |

Rising danger: Project tracks where oil spill might go in the Salish Sea
The rapid rise of tar sands oil shipments through Canada to the Northwest is leading to increased worries about oil spills in coastal waters. Tanker traffic is expected to increase 600 percent, from the current 60 tar sands oil tankers a year to over 400. With memories of Exxon Valdez, the Deepwater Horizon and, more recently, Galveston fresh on their minds, residents of the San Juan Islands recently launched a study to simulate the route of a potential oil spill in the Salish Sea.
Captain James Slocomb navigates his boat, the Sea Otter, through near shore waters of the San Juan Islands."44.561 West, seas flat, calm and the wind out of the North at about 10 knots," he says. The captain and crew are on a unique mission, dropping plywood drift cards into the water to simulate what would happen in the event of an oil spill. They are hoping to get plenty of reports from the public about where the sea's currents carry the cards.
Tar sands oil from Canada is on the rise at refineries on the coast, adding to already heavy tanker traffic. If Kinder Morgan's proposed Trans Mountain pipeline in Canada is approved, the company estimates tanker traffic would increase 600 percent from 60 tankers a year to over 400.
Oil spill preparedness in the Northwest has traditionally been modeled on crude from Alaska's North Slope. The effects of tar sands or diluted bitumen, aka dilbit, on these waters is unknown. How it sinks depends on ocean currents and the presence of any flooding from rivers, which would increase sediment or mud and add to the weight of the bitumen. Stephanie Buffum of Friends of the San Juans, a conservation group active since 1979, says, "You know here in the Salish Sea we're sloshing around twice a day with significant tidal variations and that can move oil around very quickly. So we could see the entire shorelines with a bathtub line full of dilbit."
The San Juans, which are among the state's most popular attractions, serve as a home to resident orcas, seals, salmon and marine life. "If our beaches are covered with oil we will be decimating the primary food source for not only marine mammals but fish and birds as well," says Buffum. And, she adds, it would decimate the islands' recreational and tourist economy.
Captain Slocomb, a retired Exxon Valdez first responder now living off Friday Harbor, was in charge of the global information system database for spill reports. His memories remain vivid. "It was sort of like scenes out of an apocalypse movie with thousands of people crawling on the beach pressure washing and miles of steam cleaner hose. It was a very other worldly scene and it smelled like hell." He checks navigation charts as the Sea Otter enters Rosario Straits between the San Juan Islands and the mainland.
This is where a majority of roundabout traffic carrying Kinder Morgan tar sands travels as it is offloaded at Anacortes refineries. Some of the refined products, including those from oil delivered to the refineries pipeline or by train from North Dakota, also get shipped down the West Coast through here. Pointing to a small island named Vendovi, Slocomb says, "Right at the moment there's a tanker anchored on either side of it and there's another one down here off of the March Point Refinery."
Sea Otter crew member Sanford Olson is a retired Navy officer and has experience driving large ships. "Bad weather, difficult navigation, fog, mechanical failure, errors made by the people who are running the ship — all of these things can result in an accident that would be catastrophic for the islands," Olson says. He's also a member of the Islands Oil Spill Association, one of only a handful of private first responder organizations on the coast. Even with the state's highly regarded Regional Response Team, an oil spill here would be devastating, he says.

It is with great pleasure that we announce the successful completion of Cornerstone Campaign Two - a $15 million capital campaign! Thanks to the generosity of nearly 3,000 trustees, alumni, parents, friends of the School, foundations and corporations, the Campaign represents the single largest fundraising initiative in the history of the 147-year-old institution.
Launched in 2006, highlights of the Campaign include:
Under the strong leadership of Campaign Co-Chairs, Maggie Smith '69, Hi Upson '46 and Ellen Walsh, Parent '01 & '04, the Campaign experienced many significant milestones. Launched with a lead gift of $1 million, the top gifts also included another $1 million gift, an anonymous $2 million gift and five $500,000 gifts.
"Cornerstone Campaign Two has been an exciting and transformative period for Chase Collegiate School," said Ms. Smith, proprietor of Winvian in Morris, CT. "By surpassing the $15 million mark, we have attained the Campaign goals of enhancing our facility and growing our endowment, thereby solidifying Chase's position as a distinguished institution in the greater Waterbury community."
We are so grateful to our community of alumni, parents, students and friends who generously supported the Campaign. That the Campaign succeeded despite the recession strongly reflects the tremendous support and belief many people have for Chase Collegiate School and its students.
Each and every gift has made a difference and, for that, we thank you.

Hey peeps!
I was planning on attending the JJ's open house tomorrow, but decided it wasn't practical to make the drive and spend the gas money. I was depressed, so I went to Home Depot to look in the garden center. They had a lot of plumeria in 1 gallon in the semi-shade section. They were all generic and only two had a few flowers. I decided to pass on buying those, but figured I would go inside to look at the orchids. Guess what I found? JJ's premium Inca Gold! There were only 3 left, but all had multi-branches and inflos. I picked up a 4 branch with 2 inflos for $29! I just found it interesting that I would find a plumie from the very place that I was depressed about not being able to visit. ALSO!! I located a wholesale nursery much closer that only carries JJ's varieties, so that's where I will be tomorrow shopping. To those of you going, please take pics and let us know what you buy! Have a great night,
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Tony; Lucky you, that's a good plumie for a great price. I went to the sale. Came home with a Thai Splash. There were many plants, some in bloom, and lots of people coming in the gate as I left. They had several Afrique plumies who were in various stages of bloom. (That is one of the nicest plumies and the color is to die for and the scent is an added plus in my opinion). Well I think I am officially out of room for any more plumeria. Well maybe just one more for my birthday next month. take care, cbad |

Hello Guys, I myself am a plumeria fanatic so I know what it is like to search for nice new varieties of plumerias. I own a nursery and carry almost all if Jungle Jacks plumerias. I have JJ plumerias from 1 gal. up to 24'' boxes. Try our website if you want more info. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Evergreen Nursery, LLC.
Hey EG! I'm the guy that bought the California Sunset from you on Saturday! You have a great selection, and it was a pleasure doing business with you. Tony |
Tony, I'm in West Hills - pretty close to you in Sherman Oaks. Where is this place you say is closer? I looked on their site and it says Avocado Heights - where's that? Area code 626 sounds like Pasadena area to me. |
drewcarb, I don't mean to but in here but the name Avocado Heights is kind of misleading. It's near the La Puente/Whittier area. It's off the 605 freeway and Valley Blvd. If you Google map it, you'll see where they're located. They seem to carry a lot of Jungle Jacks Plumerias. I don't know if they stock everything that is on their website. Prices are comparable to prices at the open house. Have fun shopping and don't get lost. -Rick |

I agree with Rick, the location at Avocado Heights is very misleading like the owner German at EG. I have learned my lesson in dealing with him. David |

Since this is a slow traffic week around the blogosphere, I thought I'd take a moment to run down my favorite albums of 2006.
Storyhill – Storyhill
This album actually hasn't technically been released yet – I was lucky enough to pick it up at one of their shows this fall. Storyhill, for those who don't know, is an acoustic duo from Montana who have put out a number of albums over the years. Now in their thirties, they have signed their first contract with a record label to put out their new self-titled album. This new record was produced by Dan Wilson (Semisonic) and I was blown away by how beautiful it was. Listening to the opening track, I was stunned by the intimacy of the vocals and guitars, but was pleased that the recordings aren't precious with the songs. The album features plaintive lyrics, sweet guitar work, and amazing harmonies throughout. Definitely my favorite of the year. Be sure to pick it up when it comes out nationwide on February 13th.
CLICK HERE to watch Storyhill performing "Give Up the Ghost" live!
Embrace – This New Day
This was a fine album from one of my favorite British bands. The only problem with it is that it isn't as strong as 2004's fantastic Out of Nothing. Huge songs, singalong choruses, great guitar work, and a real sense of urgency help propel this album along. The second half gets bogged down a bit with a few filler tracks, but the initial 6 song rush more than makes up for that failing.
CLICK HERE to watch their video for "I Can't Come Down"
Beatles – Love
This album just came out of leftfield for me. The only problem I really have with the Beatles is that, in growing up with them, I've listened to their albums so many times it's hard to hear them with fresh ears. Then this album of remixed, chopped up Beatles tracks dropped in my lap. Produced by the Beatles producer George Martin and his son Giles, this album takes hooks, guitar licks, harmonies, and beats from the Beatles catalogue and throws them into a blender. The end result is an exhilarating sprint through their finest work. It's like hearing their talents for the first time. Even when Martin and his son are cautious with the material and don't change much, their remix draws out the bass and drum tracks, adding muscle and urgency to the songs. Listening to this album was more fun than any musical experience I had this year.
Keane – Under the Iron Sea
This album took a few weeks for me to make a connection with it. I was such a fan of the huge melodies of their debut album, and I initially felt like they had abandoned what they did best. Under the Iron Sea is darker, subdued, and I have to admit that I never liked their choice of "Is it Any Wonder" as the kickoff single. After I had set it aside as a disappointment, my wife turned me back onto it, and by then its songcraft and melodicism were more apparent to me. I've continued to return to this album throughout the year.
Favorite Songs of the Year
Colin Hay – Waiting for My Real Life to Begin
The Hold Steady – Southtown Girls
Mark Knopfler and Emmylous Harris – This is Us
The Who – Mike Post Theme
Embrace – I Can't Come Down
Mojave 3 – You Said it Before
Kubla Khan – Skate With Me
Keane – Atlantic

Sometimes, it's the little things that help a game come together. The direction of the cutscenes, the fluid animation, the booming sound effects of the weapons... and the soundtrack. But how do they get made? OXM sat down with Garry Schyman, Bioshock's music composer, to get some answers and find out what makes Bioshock's soundtrack so special. Check out garryschyman.com for more examples of his work.
What was the process of composing music for Bioshock? Are you shown game footage and told to write music for it? How does it work?
GS: It varied depending on which part of the game I was working with. In some instances I did receive game footage and wrote using it as a sort of backdrop to my music. The scripted events (similar to cinematics) were not ready when I was writing the score so I had to work with detailed descriptions of the events and their timing.
Bioshock has the look of 'old' America, like 1930's Chicago. Was there any pressure to write music to match that era?
GS: I was given a lot of freedom to come up with something cool for the game. The only pressure I felt was internal - to come up with something very unique and fitting for the project. That said I ended up working in various styles of music from the early and mid 20th Century, which is when Rapture (the underwater city) was theoretically built. Some of the score has elements that sound like popular music of that era. There is also licensed music from that era that is in the game.
How do you think Bioshock's music will stand out from music seen in other games?
GS: Well one thing for sure, no one will ever say that my score for the game is generic! The music I wrote for BioShock is very different from other game scores. I developed a whole new style of composition by combining various techniques of 20th century music. The result is something that I am very proud of because I think the music stands on its own while supporting the game in a very cool way. The project is so unique and different looking that it supported a very unusual approach. I am really very lucky because I have been hired to score some very distinctive games. It makes the writing process so much more interesting for me. For instance I was asked to write a "classical" piano piece that is written by a fictional character in the game. If you're familiar with BioShock then you will know that this is a world populated by artists, writers and musicians - and this piece was to sound as if it were to be written by one of these fictional characters. I ended writing in the style of late Rachmaninoff for the cue and it is a complex and interesting piece of music that plays a critical role in one of the scripted events. There are really very few opportunities for a composer to write such music for film or games.
How is music in videogames seen within the industry compared to music in films? It seems videogames have a tendency to rely on licensed music, for example.
GS: Well films, TV and video games all use lots of licensed music - so I am not sure there is a big difference in that sense. There are many similarities and many differences as well. Films and TV are completely linear and never change once the edit is locked. So the music is meant to fit the picture perfectly. Gameplay is not linear and often needs to be dynamic. That really changes the way you write.
How much of a challenge is it to write music for different sections of the game? For example, one section could see the player involved in an intense action sequence, another could see the player looking around for the door to progress through the game.
GS: That's what I am hired to do - be versatile and frankly it would get boring if I just wrote the same piece of music over and over. It's not really a challenge for me because that's what I am trained and love doing. Sometimes I am asked to write some music that I have never attempted before, but I have a pretty good ear so I go out to Amoeba Records here in Hollywood and buy a few CDs in the style and after a few minutes of listening I get what it's all about and can write the cue.

Recommended for a summer day on the patio, this Belgian-style "white" or wheat beer is light and smooth, with a hint of tart coriander and orange peel. Refreshing and delicate, it's one you can serve the crowd. A crisp, dry, warm-weather beer.

Beer was ok Review by Millburn

Product Rating:
Easy to follow directions. I followed them and think the beer turned out well. Needs a tad more coriander and could have a stronger orange flavor.
Best Brew yet Review by Great

This beer came out fantastic. It was a great end-of-summer treat. Best beer i've brewed yet and it went FAST. Your friends will be lining up for this one.
Subtle begian wit Review by skiatd1
(Posted on 10/6/13)
This is a deliciously subtle belgian wit. It is smooth drinking with a nice orange and coriander aroma without being overpowering. If you are looking to brew a Blue Moon this is not the kit, but if you want a more mature traditional belgian wit (even more subtle than an Alligash white) this will do you just fine. Because I brewed this late in the summer it was nice to drink into the fall as well.

Good kit. I have tried a few kit to get me close to "blue moon". This is close. I like the added orange peel to give that extra dimension. I recommend white labs yeast.
tasty beer, very easy to brew as well Review by sean
(Posted on 8/28/13)
This is a great recipe kit. Tastes like a mix between blue moon and hoegaarden. Would definitely order this one again and would recommend to a friend.
Great Brew Review by jfonte130

I brew this about every other batch. My Wife drinks it faster than I do.
Well worth the money! Review by Beau Smith
Like others, my family is new to homebrewing. My first batch was from Mr. Beer, but I'm glad I switched to Midwest. The Belgian Witbier turned out outstanding, well worth the cost including shipping. The color is orange, unlike any beer I've ever had. There was very little foam out of the first beer I opened up, not sure what's up with that. Anyway, you can easily taste the orange and coriander, and it reminds me of other wheat beers. Easily my favorite beer ever, hell I like it better than the Blanche De Namur, I had a few weeks ago. The ~50 beers made from this batch will be gone in a week.
Pleasant Beer Review by Toridedan
(Posted on 8/16/13)
This is a pretty safe crowd pleaser. The orange and coriander where barely noticeable in the final product. Had a stiff head and strong aroma. Not unpleasant, but I'm sure that you could get a better and cheaper wheat beer. I was expecting more.

If you like bluemoon, you will like this kit. Not exactly Bluemoon, which is good IMO. Slight orange flavor with a great foamy head. Great kit!
Witbier Review by Marcos
Brewed this for a friend of mine, he liked it a lot. Better than blue moon but not as good as white rascal. plan to brw again one day.

G Nuts, or Ground Nuts, is another word for peanuts around the world. If you're a peanut lover, like myself, and can't wait to find a reason to put peanuts on just about ANYTHING, you'll have to suffer a few days of jet lag just to get a good dish. It was hard to track down a recipe of Uganda's traditional dish, Ground Nuts, but I found it and perfected it a bit. Great over rice, poscho, chapati or any other starch or vegetable of choice.
servings7 Servings
1 onion, diced2-3 lbs chicken, sliced to quarter-sized pieces
16 oz coconut milk
1 quart stock (i prefer chicken, turkey or vegetable)
10-16 oz freshly ground peanuts, unsalted, no sugars or stabilizers
1 large bunch of greens, finely chopped with tough parts removed (I usually have kale on hand, collard greens or spinach would also work)
Chili spices to taste
Sauté onions in large sauce pan until translucent. Add chicken pieces, cook until golden, but not cooked through. Add stock and coconut milk. Heat until simmering. Add Ground Nuts (peanuts) one spoonful at a time and stir until well-incorporated. Add chili. The end result should be a thick stew with no large chunks of Ground Nuts, able to stay fairly firm when spooned. Serve hot over rice, or your starch or choice, as an entree and enjoy!!my notes

Black Women of Playboy: Eat Your Heart Out Lindsay Lohan
Lindsay Lohan is making national headlines for her acceptance of a $1 million offer to pose nude for Playboy. Times must be really hard for the once beloved actress, who has been unable to successfully bridge her childhood successes into equally lucrative adult fame. Personally, the vision of Lohan's party-addled body spread out for the world to see is not so appealing, despite the fact that Photoshop works wonders. You would think Playboy would spend that cash on women of real natural, glowing beauty — like the African-American women you see here. In the decades that Playboy has been published, only a handful of black women have received the distinctive honor of being featured as the epitome of womanly desire.
I am usually against female objectification, but in this instance I actually want to applaud the African-American Playbloy Playmates who made it into the magazine. As usual, the bar was set higher for them (they had to be gorgeous), but these black women still admirably demonstrated our sensuality to the mainstream. As Lohan will make a small fortune for far less, these black Playboy Playmates of the past deserve our positive attention at this time. Check out these black beauties — and eat your heart out Lindsay!

Translate this page Warrior spikers share third in league; lose first-round playoff match to PowayThursday, January 9th, 2014 Issue 02, Volume 18.
The Warriors had a 4-3 league record prior to a pair of home losses Oct. 30 against Rancho Buena Vista and Nov. 5 against Carlsbad. During the three-game match against Rancho Buena Vista, Warrior setter Jessi Fagrell sprained her ankle, keeping her off the court for the rest of the regular season. Fallbrooks junior varsity setter, Chyna Southwell, had torn ligaments in her ankle and was out for six weeks. "It was just the wrong position to have an injury," said Fallbrook varsity coach Robin Reese. "We had no backup to our backup." Fallbrook defensive specialist Ellen Allison could also play libero, so Reese moved libero Tiara Siaton to the setter position. "Our whole system was kind of shut down," Reese said. Although Fallbrook defeated Carlsbad in three games Oct. 18 on the Lancers court, Carlsbad took a four-game win in the rematch. Nov. 5 was also Senior Night; the Warriors had eight seniors on the 2013 squad. "Eight seniors is a lot," Reese said. "Next year its like a whole new team." Fallbrooks regular season concluded Nov. 8 with a four-game win over Vista. "Its not the way the season should have ended, thats for sure, but we managed," Reese said. "It was frustrating, but we got through it." The Warriors swept Vista in the teams Oct. 23 match in Fallbrook. La Costa Canyon and Rancho Buena Vista each beat the Warriors twice in league play. Carlsbad and Fallbrook shared third place in the final standings as well as the wins in the two matches between the Lancers and Warriors. The Nov. 9 CIF playoff selection and seeding meeting gave Fallbrook the #13 seed in the Division I playoffs. "We didnt do as well as we should have in league, so I think that we were lucky to have made it to playoffs," Reese said. Fallbrooks seed gave the Warriors a Nov. 13 first-round match at fourth-seeded Poway. "Theyre a good team. They never give up on the ball," Reese said. Poway advanced to the quarterfinals against Point Loma with a 25-18, 25-6, 25-6 triumph over the Warriors. "We did a good job with them in the first game and then we just ran out of steam," Reese said. Poway subsequently advanced to the Division I finals before losing to Rancho Buena Vista in the championship match. Reese noted that Fagrell had returned to the lineup for the playoff match. "We had played two weeks with a different lineup," she said. "We didnt have the chemistry that we needed to play as a team, and it showed at Poway," Reese said. "You can physically be a weaker team, but if you have good chemistry you end up on top most of the time. We just didnt have that." 0 comments Be the first to share your opinion on this article!

The Article 8A Loan Program provides rehabilitation loans to correct substandard or unsanitary conditions and to prolong the useful life of multiple dwellings in New York City. Rehabilitation is generally limited to the upgrading or replacement of major building systems with an emphasis on energy items. In general, loans cannot exceed the actual cost of rehabilitation. Loans are available in amounts of up to $35,000 per dwelling unit with no maximum per building, subject to the availability of funds. Loans may not be used to refinance existing debt on the property.
To qualify for a loan the borrower must own the property or have a contract to purchase. Individuals, partnerships and corporations are eligible. Preference will be given to buildings that have been maintained in accordance with City's Housing Maintenance Code or where the applicant furnishes assurance that all work required to comply with the code will be completed. Building condition and finances must demonstrate a need for funds, and owners must be unable to obtain financing privately. The interest rate is 3% with repayment in equal monthly installments and there is a prepayment surcharge within the first five years of the loan. The term of the loan may not exceed 30 years or the useful life of the improvements, whichever is less. There is a non-refundable application fee of $150.00 and a commitment fee equal to one (1%) of the loan amount payable at closing, plus a 1/2% legal fee. Non-profits are exempted from fees.
Loans are restricted to buildings occupied by tenants of low income. After rehabilitation, real property taxes may be eligible for abatement, and there will be no change in the rent regulation status (controlled, stabilized) of the units in the building. Where appropriate, rents may be adjusted to ensure repayment of debt service.

Captain Tom Honig, licensed by the United States Coast Guard, has enjoyed his passion for sailing for over 40 years. The last two years of his life have been consumed by a project that was not planned, but seemed the right thing to do at the time. 5000 man hours later, you have to wonder, what was he thinking?
Hi, I'm Tom, I write all the stuff on the web site, and I will explain, in the first person, instead of writing about myself as if I was not here, why I bought Hull #43, why I am selling it, why I do not want to sell it (obvious, it is a great boat), why the ROI, return on investment, is in the minus column, The materials alone this Cal 40 sucked up in the last two years, stored in ziplock bags of receipts, marked by the month, waiting to be totaled, yuck , will negate the $40,000 gross return on this boat I bought for $19,000 in Annapolis, and I am selling for $59,000 in Wilmington NC.

We eat a lot of chicken at our house so I am always on the look out for new chicken recipes. The recipe for Parsley Chicken has been in my "To Try" folder for a while now. I originally found the recipe over at Good Things Catered.
The recipe calls for something called "za'atar". I had no idea what it was, so when in doubt – Google!
Good old Wikipedia came to my rescue and explained that za'atar is a mixture of herbs used as a condiment with Middle Eastern origins. I stopped at two local grocery stores to try and find some but with no luck. Does anyone know where to buy za'atar??
So back to Google where I found a recipe to make your own za'atar. The first ingredient it called for was sumac – I had no clue what sumac was – isn't that a tree? It also called for thyme, oregano, marjoram and toasted sesame seeds. I had all those ingredients on hand so I mixed up a teaspoon of thyme, oregano, marjoram and a tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds and had my own version of za'atar.
This seasoning combination along with the garlic and parsley was wonderful. The chicken had tons of great flavor and was a big hit. My husband is almost always complimentary about what I make for dinner but when he mentioned 2 or 3 times how much he enjoyed dinner I KNEW it was a keeper. Parsley Chicken is a new family favorite!
I served it with our favorite rice, Lime Cilantro Rice, a spinach salad and it was a perfect dinner! Lots of green too and I love green!
The leftovers (I seem to have a lot of those lately – haven't adjusted to cooking for only 3 people) were quickly devoured the next day.
Parsley Chicken
- 3 pounds trimmed boneless skinless chicken breasts
- ½ C. fresh flat leaf parsley, minced
- 1 large lemon, washed thoroughly
- ¼ C red wine vinegar
- ¼ C olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced or pressed
- 1 tsp za'atar (LA's version - 1 tsp marjoram, 1 tsp thyme, 1 tsp oregano, 1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds)
- ½ tsp garlic salt
- ½ tsp ground pepper
- Pound chicken breasts down to uniform thickness throughout (about 1-inch thickness)and place in large bowl
- Halve lemon and juice well
- Add lemon juice to bowl
- Add remaining ingredients and use tongs to coat pieces evenly
- Cover with plastic wrap and place into fridge for 30 mins - 1 hour
- Preheat grill on high
- Remove chicken from fridge and let rest until grill is up to temperature
- With tongs, move breasts around to coat evenly
- Turn grill down to medium low heat
- Place chicken breast-side-down onto grill
- Do not move meat as much as possible until finished cooking on one side, about 10 minutes depending on size of chicken.
- Flip breasts over and continue cooking until almost cooked through, about 5-10 more minutes.
- Remove from grill
- Let meat rest, covered, on cutting board for 3-5 mins before slicing and serving
Lime Cilantro Rice
I love this rice recipe and make it at least once a week. It is just like the rice at Chipotle Restaurant. I always at least double the recipe. Leftovers freeze well.
1 tsp oil or butter
2 tsp fresh cilantro
2/3 C white basmati rice
1 C water
1/2 tsp salt
1 lime
In a 2 quart heavy saucepan, heat oil or butter over low heat, stirring occasionally until melted.
Add rice and lime juice, stir for 1 minute
Add water and salt, bring to a full rolling boil.
At boiling, cover, turn down to simmer over low heat until rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
Add in the cilantro and fluff rice with a fork.

This past weekend was awesome.. well my kind of awesome which is family time. My husband and I decided to drive to Connecticut with Leanne and his two cousins(my favorite boys) pretty much get lost and discover new places.
We stopped at Paradise Hills Vineyards and met some wonderful folks.
You're probably wondering what we ate? Of course the famous steamed burgers at Ted's.
Everyone finished their burgers before I got the chance to take a picture of them. Let's just say, It was worth the drive. The rainy day made it feel like a true Fall day.

Any of about 900 species of herbaceous plants in the genus Impatiens (balsam family), so named because the seedpod bursts when slightly touched. Garden balsam (I. balsamina), native to the tropics of Asia, is a favourite showy annual in U.S. gardens; its flowers are irregular, single or clustered, and of almost every colour but blue. Familiar related weeds in eastern North America are spotted jewelweed (I. biflora or I. capensis) and pale touch-me-not (I. pallida). Most impatiens have weak, hollow stems and require high moisture. Close relatives are geraniums and nasturtiums.

This will be my second year gardening and we are having an incredibly early Spring here. The ground was still frozen this time last year and I measured soil at over 50 degrees this past weekend. May 15th is the normal time to transplant everything outdoors in my area but I'm curious if people cheat this forward a few weeks or so during very mild springs like we are having this year. The problems I have is that the garden is at a weekend cottage so we are not able to cloche or protect plants if there is an unexpected frost. |
Follow-Up Postings:
We've had such a crazy winter and it makes me wonder what kind of spring we will have so I hate to give you advice. I live along the southern CT coast and am definitely waiting a bit. What's your zone and I wonder what is it that you want to transplant? Are they things you've started from seed? Molie |

What is 'everything'? If you are talking about tender annuals like tomatoes, I wouldn't touch them until the normal last frost date is in the ten-day weather forecast. Though I do kind of wonder about that 'May 15th' bit. Are you coastal? Our last frost date is end of May, and we have had frosts in June. I'd actually say that given how the 'winter' has gone, a June frost may be an inevitability this year. |
- Posted by steve_mass 5b (My Page) on Mon, Mar 19, 12 at 17:35
I don't think the weather today or the weather last week or last month is predictive. If May 15th is your set out date, then it's May 15th. If you get to May 10th and the Weather guessers tell you that no frost temps are in sight, then I might decide to set out some things at that point. The pattern that has given us this non-winter and summer like early Spring temperatures can change at any time. Steve |

Thanks for the responses. Interesting to see that people respect that date regardless of how the season is playing out. I am Zone 5b, Hudson Valley area of NY, about 45 min south of Albany. Yea, I was referring to veggies like tomatoes, etc. I started a "test" batch of tomatoes indoors under lights this year in late Feb with the plan to work out any bugs and then start the "real" batch in the normal 6-8 week range which is coming up. The "test" batch is doing so well though I am considering potting these up a second time and giving them a go instead of the later batch. Getting them in the ground in early May would make that a lot more viable. |

Talk to the Ulster County Master Gardeners. They are going to want to know rather specifically where you are, since everything is going to change depending on altitude and how far you are from the river. IF you are *in* Saugerties, you may be able to get away with May 15th. Maybe. The river doesn't heat up quickly, so it skews the frost dates. North or west, May 30th is safe, and it wouldn't surprise me if Palenville was even later than that. I've seen snow at Platteclove in May. BTW, I'm across the river near Tivoli. |
If you want to cheat the season on a few plants by two weeks, get a couple of wall-o-waters and plant a couple of your plants in those. If they are too tall, lay the stem sideways in the planting hole (for tomatoes) to make them shorter. I wouldn't do this if you only had a few plants, but I'm all for pushing to get those veggies earlier. Here's a chart on seed germination temperatures and how that effects speed of germination so you have an idea of what can be planted at what temperatures. Also, be sure that what you direct plant early and without protection are either plants that you don't mind losing if there's a late snowfall or ones that will tolerate a colder snap if they have germinated like peas or spinach. |

Mad Gallica, you freaked me out because the property is just outside of Palenville! Too weird. Thank you everyone for the advise. I believe what I am going to do is go ahead and start the second batch indoors under grow lights here in the next week or so and then just roll the dice in early May with the first ones and hope I get lucky. If not, I'll have the second batch as backup. I have a cold frame and several glass cloches (large vases from Ikea) but no way to vent them if it gets too hot during the week so I may just use the early batch to experiment with those devices to see if they burn up the plants and/or try the wall-of-waters. Weekend only gardening is a tough challenge! I am in the process of installing soaker hoses on a timer to help with incremental watering during the week so we don't drain the well every weekend trying to water the garden. There was so much rain last year it wasn't much of a problem but something tells me this is going to be a hot, dry summer. |

Lots of trail races are in the North Lake/Palenville area so it's a place I get to a fair amount during the summer. Do you have soil? A lot of places around there are just rock, and barely anything grows. It also has a short growing season compared to us close to sea level. The views can be amazing, though. I've seen Olana from there. |

We are near the bottom of the mountain before you head up towards Tannersville so our weather tends to be much closer to Saugerties than Tannersville or Hunter. You are right however that it is a completely different climate up the mountain though. We are lucky that the owner of the house (we rent it) brought in a few truckloads of topsoil and compost when they created the garden so we pretty much just have to amend it a bit. It was already fenced in and pretty well established so it made it easy for us to dip our toes into it last year and we had some success (by luck) and lots of fun so we are taking it a bit more serious this year. We're hooked! |
Oops - didn't include the link. Here it is. |
Here is a link that might be useful: seed germination temperature & time
This question seems to come up every year. We get some unseasonably warm weather in March or April and people want to go plant their tomatoes. But as Steve Mass mentioned - past weather is no predictor of future weather. Remember that October snowstorm - and we all went out and bought new shovels and an extra ton of ice melt and got our snow blowers tuned up - all to sit unused in our garage. As much as I would love to plant some tomatoes right now, I see the 10 day forecast has night time temperatures near freezing early next week. And I also have to agree with mad gallica - with the way this weather has gone, I'm almost expecting a June snow storm this year! |

We saw this morning that the long-awaited Porsche Boxster is just about ready for its Geneva Motor Show debut in March. If you'd like to imagine what attacking a beautiful twisty road in one of the world's most celebrated convertibles is like, look no further than this video. There's not much to say about this 39-second video, other than the fact that it makes a pretty compelling case to put down between 50 and 70 grand for one. If you're not convinced, Porsche includes not one but two examples of the car for your viewing pleasure, one Boxster and one Boxster S. To recap, that Boxster will be powered by a 2.7-liter flat six that makes 265 horsepower, while the Boxster S will benefit from a 3.4-liter flat six that makes 315 horsepower. That power is sent to the rear wheels, through either a six-speed manual or a seven-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission. Check out the frolicking cars in the video below, and let us know what you think (of the car and the video) in the comments below. Click here for video

The rooms are huge, spare, and eerily spiritual, with Stickley-style furniture and excellent reproductions of Louis Comfort Tiffany lamps. Japanese wood-block prints, framed in oak, hang by thick leather straps from a picture rail. William Morris wallpaper and ocher marble worthy of some swish London club make for rather luxurious bathrooms. No terry cloth here; instead, you get a Craftsman-inspired homespun robe. The tissue holder is Craftsman-style. The wastebasket is Craftsman-style. In the event of an earthquake, you evacuate following instructions in a Craftsman-style frame. After a while it all begins to seem normal.
The restaurant, A. R. Valentien, is small, like a fin de siècle tearoom, and there isn't a design misstep, down to the bread plates with the feathered glaze of old Fulper tiles. You'll wish you were wearing a crushed-velvet cape. Executive chef Jeff Jackson, formerly of Shutters on the Beach, produces very good food, and the service is attentive and unflagging. So many on staff! There was the person who brought the amuse-bouche (halibut mousse and beet purée on toast), the person who introduced me to the bread ("Tonight we are serving country bread..."), the person who ladled the white-corn soup (with a little disk of black-truffle flan), the person who served the roasted ivory salmon, the person who gathered my crumbs. Yet, hooray, they knew when to back off: you pepper your food yourself.
In the spa you get acquainted with Charles Rennie Mackintosh, the Scottish Art Nouveau master whose snow-white interiors shocked Glaswegians out of their grimy Victorian row houses a century ago. It's so ethereal, unlike any spa you've ever seen—what other locker room has an inglenook?The steel Art Nouveau fireplace and the iridescent mosaic-tile floor may make you forget what you're here for: a wide selection of water-based treatments as well as several signature extravaganzas that run more than two hours.
What an odd style to have picked for a luxurious modern resort. The Arts and Crafts movement had its origins in Bible-thumping and homilies extolling humility. For a long time it was considered the essence of dreariness; some people still look at it and think, electric chair. But today it is the height of fashion once again, especially in California. Its message of the simple life, wrought in straight backs and oak slats and the mark of the chisel, seems terribly romantic now. If you're going to live the simple life, it's nice to know that every creature comfort has been quietly taken care of.
Hotel Oceana, SANTA BARBARA
Cabrillo Boulevard in Santa Barbara is an oceanfront strip like oceanfront strips everywhere, with a fishing pier and a parade of motels. Oceana used to be one of those motels—in fact, four of them—which trailed down the busy street and around little courtyards and gardens. Two years ago, they were unified into a single property by the owners of another Oceana, in Santa Monica, and the interior designer Kathryn Ireland—no, not the model Kathy Ireland. This Ireland is known for dreamy fabrics in stonewashed reds, blues, and yellows; they have a sunbaked feeling that captures this Mediterranean climate beautifully. You can practically smell sage and chaparral just looking at them.
In some ways Oceana is still motel material rather than a luxurious resort. But the 122 rooms are cheerful and much more stylish than the average in Santa Barbara. There's nothing in them you're not happy to look at. I just couldn't get that yellow-checked bedstead out of my mind, or the artwork of pressed flowers, or the staff in shirts run up in Ireland fabrics. The rooms vary widely in both age and feeling. Among the better bets are those in Building Five, some overlooking a pretty courtyard, others, on the second floor, with views of the small swimming pool and the ocean.
Oceana has a strong following among young couples from L.A., who come here to go sea kayaking and mountain biking. You might find a room of similar size in Santa Barbara for less, but if you look for style wherever you go, this is where you'll want to be.

The Ambrose, SANTA MONICA
The new Ambrose, in a modest residential area of Santa Monica, is another temple to Arts and Crafts style, with the same mossy color palette and dark woods as the Lodge at Torrey Pines but a younger point of view, more urban and Asian. It's a little like a Japanese ryokan.
Organic is the word here: the continental breakfast (included in the price) is organic; the wines are organic; the mini-bar offerings are organic. There's no restaurant, but 24-hour room service is offered from the kitchen of local restaurateur Celestino Drago. And although the location isn't glamorous, it's convenient and blissfully quiet, and quite nice to come home to. There are just 77 rooms, all much larger than in the average boutique hotel, but also 27 room types, with those on the top floor having higher ceilings. Some are oddly shaped, so don't take the first one you're given unless you're certain it's right. The rest is easy: What could be cozier than hanging your clothes in a Craftsman armoire impressed with ginkgo leaves, climbing into a big, deep Craftsman bed, and sipping a Virtual Buddha Elixir?Makes you want to curl up with an illuminated manuscript.
Doubles from $150. 1255 20th St.; 877/262-7673 or 310/315-1555; www.ambrosehotel.com

Pasternak B et al. – Amiloride use was not associated with significantly decreased risk of incident multiple sclerosis (MS) or hospitalizations and death among patients with MS. Because amiloride users were represented by older patients, risks could not be evaluated in younger individuals.
Methods- The authors conducted two propensity score–matched cohort studies, linking nationwide registry data on filled drug prescriptions, diagnostic information, and covariates.
- First, they compared rates of incident MS in new users of amiloride and new users of an active control treatment, thiazide diuretics.
- Second, rates of hospitalizations for MS and of death were compared between users of amiloride and thiazides in a cohort of MS patients.
- Treatment groups were matched 1:4 on propensity scores that included a wide range of covariates, and Cox regression was used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs).
- Comparing 36659 users of amiloride and 177031 users of thiazides, there were 19 cases of incident MS during 92548 person–years of follow–up among amiloride users and 81 cases during 567599 person–years of follow–up among thiazide users.
- There was no significantly decreased risk of MS associated with amiloride use (HR 1.34, 95%CI 0.81–2.20).
- In the cohort of MS patients, amiloride use was not associated with significantly decreased risk of MS hospitalization (HR 1.11, 95%CI 0.79–1.59) or death (HR 1.38, 95%CI 0.83–2.28).

KOLKATA: A group of 10 school educators from the United States is currently visiting Kolkata as part of a month-long program to learn about Indian life, society, the education systems and resources available.
The participants, drawn from various educational institutions across the US, are traveling to Kolkata under the aegis of "The India Summer Teacher Program." The program will be hosted and administered by the United States-India Educational Foundation (USIEF).
The India Summer Teacher Program is a short-term, exchange opportunity for US high school teachers of English, Mathematics and Science to collaborate and teach with an Indian counterpart. The program is fully funded by the Bureau of Educational Affairs (ECA), US Department of State and administered by American Councils and the United States-India Educational Foundation (USIEF). Grantees are assigned to schools where the medium of instruction is English. They pair with an Indian counterpart to create and implement curriculum projects and team-teach in their subject area. The program provides a professional development opportunity for US and Indian educators to work together on issues of mutual interest to their communities, schools and students.
The host institutions in Kolkata include Loreto Day (Sealdah), St. James School, St. Johns Diocesean School, Ballygunge Shiksha Sadan, Shri Shikshayatan and A.K. Ghosh Memorial School.
USIEF organizes programs for groups of U.S. teachers as part of its mission to promote mutual understanding between the citizens of the U.S. and India through educational exchange. The purpose of each program is to give the U.S. educators an exposure to different aspects of Indian society including cultural heritage, religion and economic development.
