STRAUSS: Die Fledermaus
Music composed by Johann Strauss II.
Libretto by Richard Genée based on Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy/Karl Haffner.
First performance: 5 April 1874 at the Theater an der Wien, Vienna.
Figaro 90210 is Vid Guerrerio's modern version of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Lorenzo DaPonte's 1786 opera, The Marriage of Figaro.
The regal trumpets and sackbuts sound their bold herald and, followed by admiring eyes, the powers of state and church begin their dignified procession along a sloping walkway to assume their lofty positions upon the central dais.
Stage director Pierre Audi is not one to be strictly representational in his story telling.
Daniel Barenboim makes a triumphant departure as direttore musicale del Teatro alla Scala with Beethoven's operatic masterpiece.
This Winterreise is the final instalment of Matthias Goerne's series of Schubert lieder for Harmonia Mundi and it brings the Matthias Goerne Schubert Edition, begun in 2008, to a dark, harrowing close.
O Maria Deo grata — 'O Mary, pleasing to God': so begins Robert Fayrfax's antiphon, one of several supplications to the Virgin Mary presented in this thought-provoking concert by The Cardinall's Musick at the Wigmore Hall.
On November 22, 2014, Los Angeles Opera staged Francesca Zambello's updated version of Florencia in el Amazonas.
This third revival of Laurent Pelly's production of Donizetti's L'elisir d'amore needed a bit of a pep up to get moving but once it had been given a shot of 'medicinal' tincture things spiced up nicely.
Whether biblical parable or mythological moralising, it's all the same really: human hubris, humility, sacrifice and redemption.
The weather was auspicious for Wexford Festival Opera's first-night firework display — mild, clear and calm. But, as the rainbow rockets exploded over the River Slaney, even bigger bangs were being made down at the quayside.
After the triumphs of love, the surprises: Les Paladins, under their director Jérôme Correas, and soprano Sandrine Piau are following their tour of material from their 2011 CD, 'Le Triomphe de L'amour', with a new amatory arrangement.
On Friday evening September 5, 2014, tenor Stephen Costello and soprano Ailyn Pérez gave a recital to open the San Diego Opera season. After all the threats to close the company down, it was a great joy to great San Diego Opera in its new vibrant, if slightly slimmed down form.
English National Opera's 2014-15 season kicked off with an ear-piercing orchestral thunderbolt. Brilliant lightning spears sliced through the thick black night, fitfully illuminating the Mediterranean garret-town square where an expectant crowd gather to welcome home their conquering hero.
This elegant, smartly-paced film turns Gluck's Orfeo into a Dostoevskian study of a guilt-wracked misanthrope, portrayed by American countertenor Bejun Mehta.
We see the characters first in two boxes at an opera house. The five singers share a box and stare at the stage. But Konstanze's eye is caught by a man in a box opposite: Bassa Selim (actor Tobias Moretti), who stares steadily at her and broods in voiceover at having lost her, his inspiration.
Richard Strauss may be most closely associated with the soprano voice but this recording of a selection of the composer's lieder by baritone Thomas Hampson is a welcome reminder that the rapt lyricism of Strauss's settings can be rendered with equal beauty and character by the low male voice.
'Lovers and madmen have such seething brains,/ Such shaping fantasies, that apprehend/ More than cool reason ever comprehends.'
'When two men like us set out to produce a "trifle", it has to become a very serious trifle', wrote Hofmannsthal to Strauss during the gestation of their opera about opera.
Writing in a programme article to accompany this first revival of her 2010 production of Bizet's The Pearl Fishers, director Penny Woolcock remarks upon the opera's 'plethora of beautiful arias, duets, choral and orchestral music and catchy tunes that spawn earworms'.
Bernarda Fink's recording of Gustav Mahler's Lieder is an important new release that includes outstanding performances of the composer's well-known songs, along with compelling readings of some less-familiar ones.

Vienna in the late 19th Century.
Act I
Through the windows of the Eisenstein home floats the serenade of Alfred, a tenor still in love with his old flame Rosalinde, now the wife of Gabriel von Eisenstein. Adele, a chambermaid, saunters in reading an invitation to a masked ball; Rosalinde, bedeviled by a headache and believing she has heard Alfred's voice, enters but finds only Adele. The maid asks for the evening off to visit a "sick aunt," a plea her mistress dismisses. Alfred steps into the room and begins to woo Rosalinde, who resists his verbal blandishments but melts on hearing his high A. The suitor leaves as Eisenstein and his lawyer, Blind, arrive from a session in court: Eisenstein has been sentenced to a fortnight in jail for a civil offense. No sooner does he dismiss the incompetent advocate than his friend Falke comes to invite Eisenstein to a masquerade, suggesting he bring along his repeater stop-watch, which charms all the ladies, so he can accumulate pleasant memories to sustain him during his confinement in jail. Rosalinde joins Adele in a bittersweet farewell to Eisenstein before he goes off to prison, got up, to his wife's surprise, in full evening dress. Sending Adele to her "aunt," Rosalinde receives the ardent Alfred. Their tête-à-tête is interrupted by the warden Frank, who mistakes Alfred for the man he has come to arrest. Rosalinde persuades Alfred to save her name by posing as her husband, and Frank carts him off to jail.
Act II
In an antechamber at the palace of Prince Orlofsky, the nobleman's guests, Adele and her cousin Ida among them, await the arrival of their host. Orlofsky enters, quite bored — even with Falke's promise of a comedy of errors. The prince proclaims his guests free to do anything that suits their fancy — "Chacun à son gout." Adele, dressed in one of Rosalinde's most elegant gowns, laughs off Eisenstein's suggestion that she resembles his wife's chambermaid. Frank enters, and Rosalinde, also invited by Falke, arrives disguised as a temperamental Hungarian countess; she is soon wooed by her own reeling husband, whose pocket watch she steals to hold as proof of his philandering. Rosalinde agrees to sing a song about her "native" land, a spirited czardas, after which the guests move on to a magnificent dining area to toast the joys of wine, good fellowship and love. Champagne flows, and the guests dance wildly until dawn. When the clock strikes six, Eisenstein staggers off to keep his appointment at the jail.
Act III
Moments later at the prison, Frosch, a drunken jailer, tries to keep order among the inmates, who are unable to sleep because of Alfred's singing. Frank arrives, still giddy with champagne, followed shortly by Ida and Adele, who, thinking him a theatrical agent, believes he might further her stage aspirations. Frank, hearing someone at the door, hides the girls in a cell and then admits Eisenstein, who has come to begin his sentence. The new prisoner is surprised to learn his cell is already occupied by a man who claims to be Eisenstein and who was found supping with Rosalinde; to obtain an explanation from the impostor, Eisenstein snatches a legal robe and wig from his astonished lawyer. No sooner is he disguised than Rosalinde hurries in to secure Alfred's release and press divorce charges against her errant husband. With her would-be paramour, she confides her flirtation to the "lawyer." Enraged, Eisenstein removes his disguise and accuses his wife of promiscuity, at which Rosalinde whips forth the watch she took from him at the ball. Orlofsky and his guests arrive to celebrate the reconciliation of Rosalinde and Eisenstein, singing a final toast as Eisenstein is taken away.

I've moved into a house with several established, shaped azaleas in the yard. None seem over knee high and have been shaped, which is a little too formal for my taste. They are lush on the tops, but the wood inside is hard. Unfortunately, one is dead on an entire half side. I would like to prune them back to a more "natural" appearance, yet keep the size to 3 - 4 feet over the next 5 years. I'm tempted to start thinning the wood inside the bush, and keep about 1/2 of the plant "as is" to allow some growing power. Any suggestions would be appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
If these have been maintained in a formal shape and you prefer more natural growth, it's perfectly reasonable to selectvely remove some of the stems to begin to open up the shape. Feel free to remove anything dead, twiggy or weak or even major branches if their absence would help to establish a more basic framework. Sharp pruners, immediately after bloom has finished. |
The guidelines when pruning are: Remove all dead wood. Open up the plant so that air can flow through the plant. Remove one branch whenever branches cross. Prune soon. If you wait much longer you will be removing flower buds. |

Other Pets at Second Chance DOG Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Quincy, a Prole Pekingese dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Pekingese for sale in Prole, or seeking a Pekingese dog from a breeder in Prole.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Prole 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 Prole 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 Pekingese breeders who help with Pekingese rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Prole paves the way for another one to be saved.

Total Fpdc Hat
19 comments:
This pattern is great! It works up quickly, and is so thick and warm! Thanks for sharing your original pattern. I can see myself making a whack of these for charity.
ReplyDeleteRepliesThanks for the pattern! I've made a ton of these hats for the charity Bridge and Beyond. They are nice and warm.
DeleteI am in receipt of those hats that above Katie B made using her pattern. What I like about them is how sturdy, thick and warm they are. AND they can be worn one of 2 ways, straight as you show in your picture and or rolling up the brim which looks very stylish and would aid someone in case the hat was a bit too large. Very nice! Would it be alright if added your pattern and link to my blog under the hats tab? Thanks for your consideration
DeleteOophs, also meant to add, I'm your newest follower. Where in MD are you from? My DD lived in Balt for 2 years while she was working on her Masters.
DeleteOnly add the link and please restate that the hats are for personal (and charity) use only. I'm glad to know that hats created from my patterns are going to people who need them. :)
On another note, I'm from Ellicott City, MD but I'm currently living in Austin, TX because of graduate school.

I just want to thank you for sharing your beautiful patterns and to tell you in the spirit of all of your donations, the hats I am making ALL are 100% free to chemotherapy patients and their families :) Thank you for keeping me busy during my chemo appointments and for helping me help them <3
ReplyDelete - AnonymousJanuary 24, 2013 at 1:26 PM
Love your pattern!!! I am an employee at a women's prison and the offenders are making them through our restorative justice program which donates all items to local charities. Thanks for sharing your gift!!
ReplyDelete My b/f needed a winter hat that would be warm but still able to wear under his baseball style uniform hat at work (delivering pizza), this patter works great and what does show has a nice, clean appearance. I modified slightly at the end for the ear-flaps he requested. Great pattern and thanks so much for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteI'm needing some help.... I've completed about 10 rounds and the hat is just rippled. I'm wondering if it will eventually begin to get the "bowl shape?" It seems to be curving the wrong way if anything, but is really more of a rippled effect. Is there something I'm doing wring? Any suggestions? I don't want to continue just to pull everything out. Thanks.
ReplyDelete- Replies
I'm not quite sure. Do you have access to the particular child/baby you want to make it for? If you do, my best advice would be trying to make it while they are in front of you. I would start the hat as normal, but after the second or third round, skip to Round 6 in the pattern (i.e. stop increasing). Do this for a few rounds or how ever long it takes for you to get a sense of how large (or small) the hat will be. Try it on the child as you go. This will give you a sense if you need to add one more round of increases or if you have too many. If you don't have access to the person you want to make it for, try trial and error, basically doing the same as above but eye-balling it. Use your judgement on if the hat is too large or too small for the age group you are targeting. If it works the first time and is the right size, then good job. If your first trial doesn't work (the hat is too small or too large), try it again but this time increase one more round or one less round than in the first trial. Hopefully, that made sense. One other thing you can try is following the pattern as written but use a smaller hook and a smaller weight yarn. I'm not sure how that will work out, since I've never done this pattern in anything other than worsted weight and a K hook. It might be worth a try, though. But this method would also be trial and error again. That's the best advice I can offer. Hope one of these suggestions works!

3 or 4 years ago I planted "Monsieur Jules Elie", a gorgeous herbaceous peony. Its now really too big for the area I planted it in, and I'd like to divide it and move it. Its still got a lot of vigorous green foliage, and the place I'd like to move it is still covered with blooming annuals. I know that September is supposed to be the time to divide - but really how late can I wait to transplant? Or should I hold them over the winter in peat, like canna?
Follow-Up Postings:
Not a good thing to hold over - these aren't tubers like cannas. And now is the time to divide and/or transplant so it can get its roots established before the ground freezes. In fact, you are probably a week late. Better get at it. |
It's time and you already know it! Remove some of the annuals and transplant the peony. The annuals will be gone soon, and the peony will do much better in the ground, the sooner the better. |
Ok you guys! I bought it as a potted plant so I've never really seen the roots. Its going in a really sunny spot with lots of masonry for thermal mass, so I'm not too concerned about being late. Thanks. Looks like Sunday will be the day. |
- Posted by hostaholic2 MN 4 (My Page) on Sat, Sep 15, 07 at 18:24
You're not to late, I'm in zone 4 and have successfully divided and planted bare root peonies through the end of Sept. |
- Posted by mad_gallica Z5 NY (My Page) on Sat, Sep 15, 07 at 19:13
I usually wait until the foliage starts dying down. Then you chop it off, and deal with the roots rather like dahlia tubers. Around here, that means moving in October, and it will be later where you are. There is very much a bareroot peony season here, when some of the local nurseries are selling them that way. We aren't there yet. |
Now is a good time to do it. |
Remember full sun and don't bury it too deep, otherwise it won't bloom. |

Beware ! Don't transplant the whole clump right away. Peonists advise to split the clumps into pieces holding 2 to 3 "eyes" (or stalks) each, not more, and to plant them one foot apart. If you don't split it, you might have to wait many years before it blooms again, or even never see any bloom again. Zephirine |

Uh-oh! It's Nov. 2 here in Portland, Oregon, and I have a bed full of very old (50-70 yrs) peonies that REALLY need to be divided and transplanted. These are peonies my great-grandfather planted-- he was a collector, apparently. I want to move them into a different bed and use their present area for veggies. Should I transplant them now or wait till spring? I don't mind if they don't bloom for a year or two. Hana |
Fall is the time to transplant peonies, not spring, but even in Portland, I think Nov is too late. |

It's not too late. In the Portland area (and much of the rest of the PNW), fall gardening chores can be conducted throughout the winter, as the soil never freezes and generally remains at a temperature level that encourages root development. I've planted entire perennial borders in mid December without problems. IME, there are a lot of myths that surround growing peonies that are simply not founded in practical evidence. One is that they are difficult to transplant. While the plants can sulk for a season and may produce no or limited flowers, they should be back to good flower production rapidly. I've moved them many times, frequently without division (they seldom ever require it unless you are attempting to increase your supply) only to have them bloom on schedule the following spring. And you can transplant them in spring if necessary, but run a very high risk of skipping that bloom season. The only real truth is that planting them deeply will affect blooming - the eyes should be no more than an inch below the soil surface. Peonies are extremely long lived perennials - 100 year old plants exist - and they can grow, flourish and bloom with minimal attention once established. It is not uncommon to find these vererable plantings on old homesteads or abandoned farms that bloom profusely each season without any human intervention. |
Fall may be the preferred season for transplanting peonies, but I have transplanted them in the Spring. In the Spring of 06 I moved 8 small-med peonies that were growing in mostly shade in the middle of Vinca minor. They all sulked for the entire gardening season that year. I lost one of them but 3 out of the 7 bloomed this past Spring. Apparently, they even survive the dreaded Spring transplant. :) |
I just dug up a huge 10 year old peony that gets at least 6' tall and is too tall to stake. Last year I rigged up something really tall and strong, but it was too big to conceal and looked really stupid. I decided that this spring I was going to ditch it and replace it with a single or a semi-double. So I just dug it up but now I can't seem to throw it away. I divided it into too small sections (I got carried away). Most of the divisions have 2-3 eyes. I figur I can donate it to a plant sale or give to a friend or family member. If I pot them up now, will they root quickly so they can be easily transplanted later in the season? Or do I dry them and store them and give them as tubers in the fall? Most of the eyes are about 1 - 1 1/2" and have not opened up at all. Because I made my divisions so small, can I combine 3 in a pot? I probably should have researched this a bit before I ripped them up. I don't know if I did it right. I might have ripped out tubers that had immature eyes that I couldn't see. |
Here's the outcome of the origin of this thread. When I dug up that peony it had a HUGE ball of intertwined tubers. I took my time and separated what I could, planted them the end of Sept. I didn't expect much, but lo and behold I've got 6 or 7 plants coming up! Thanks everyone. |
Yay! |
I'll go you one further... last year I purchased a couple of bags of bare root peonies @ Costco. They were potted up, but NONE showed any top growth, yet when I checked the tubers in the fall they were all fleshy and firm rather than rotted. This spring not only hope sprung eternal, but also these Peony tubers, must of them a decent size too. Don't think I'll see any of them bud up and flower, but I can wait another year.... |
wendyb Pot them up individually in one gallon to three gallon depending on root mass. They will be in good condition to plant in the fall into the garden. Even if you have some divisions where no buds are seen there is a good chance buds will grow if you have a good sized root with some crown material. Al |
Thanks Al. I sure wish I had not cut them so willy-nilly and kept more root mass and tubers. I just had an urge to untangle them. I hope they bloom next year. I ended up with 7 pots (four 1 gals, 2 quarts and one 2 gal). As I looked real real real close, I saw more tiny eye "nubs" in the divisions, so I'm optimistic. I guess I will have to keep one of the divisions myself so I can observe and learn. |
i had to dig up 60yr old peonies yesterday from western ky. i live in south central ark. they were huge with tubers tangled,some falling away,underneath were tubers alone.last yr.in the spring i had to move the last 2 of my great-great grandmother's,they came up this yr.but did not bloom. 3yrs.ago i bought half dead plants in july and they bloomed the next yr. this bed gets sun,some shade. i need to know how to divide, plant the tubers that were alone under the plants and what to had to the soil. and the best locations. my greats,seem to want to burn easily, and i water daily. thank you. i love them but have no knowledge. |
continuing on my peonies, i do not think they've bloomed for awhile. they were ny aunt's and it was now or never, the bed was going to be destroyed. if i pot them till sept. what soil consistency? they will get 3/4 sun. my great's had not bloomed in yrs. because of no sun. i'm hopeful they will nest yr. these of my aunt's i do not know what kind just there are whites,pink doubles.i probably need to fix another bed for overflow. i do not even know how for to space them,except to go by what she had. thank you |

I had to dig part of my peonies to make room for something else - June. In digging I broke some of the roots, and some have hollow places in them. Does it matter that I broke them, does it matter that they are hollow? Can I replant them now? |

The cable cars, the chocolate, the state–of–the–art this–and–that, the park with the buffalo. But mostly San Francisco is about the hills. The city sits improbably on them, a lofty, cosmopolitan peninsula amid some of the world's most spectacular scenery. It's a small place on the map. But even the shortest trip is an adventure on inclines like ski slopes, with views to take your breath away. A walk becomes a hike, a drive becomes an amusement park ride, and the possibility of a thrilling surprise lies over every rise.
THE SHORTLIST (a.k.a. the classics)
Golden Gate Bridge What can be said about the bridge that Tony Bennett hasn't already implied?You're sure to drive across, but for the true bridge experience, walk or bike.
Cable Cars Yes, every tourist in town is standing in line with you to board a cable car, but how often do you get to ride a National Historic Landmark?They lurch, glide, jerk, clang––and carry you up and down the hills far more joyously than you could carry yourself. Stand on the sides, heels dangling, hanging on for dear life while the conductor calls out street names and regales you with jokes as old as the cars themselves. ("Lombard Street, second crookedest street in world! The crookedest?Wall Street.") Take the Powell–Mason Line or the Powell–Hyde Line down to Fisherman's Wharf. Or disembark at the Cable Car Museum (1201 Mason St.; 415/474–1887; www.cablecarmuseum.org). On the streets where the cars run, listen for the distinctive whine of the cable in the slotted track; it's pure San Francisco.
Chinatown From its massive, gaudy entry gate on the intersection of Bush and Grant to its tiny alleyways and hidden mah–jongg parlors, this is it: the ultimate Chinatown. Here you'll find an awesome array of cheap jade jewelry, dried cuttlefish snacks, and Digimon paraphernalia. The Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory (56 Ross Alley; 415/781–3956) has been in business since 1962. Its equipment looks much older, as do the workers. Accept the free sample from the cooling rack; it will be the best fortune cookie you've ever had. (Fortune cookies are said to have been invented in San Francisco in 1914––by a Japanese gardener.)
Coit Tower Built in 1933 by Lillie Hitchcock Coit as a tribute to the San Francisco Fire Department, Coit Tower (1 Telegraph Hill Blvd.; 415/362–0808; www.coittower.org) crowns Telegraph Hill. The little parking lot in front is usually crammed, so take the No. 39 Coit bus or, better yet, approach it by foot, up the gently rustic Filbert Street steps (on Filbert between Montgomery and Sansome Streets). There are 360–degree views from the tower top, and splendid pre–WPA–era murals at the bottom. Look for the one showing a San Francisco Chronicle with the headline artists finish frescoes coit tower murals.
The Steepest Streets Cars line up to drive down Lombard Street between Hyde and Leavenworth. This one–block stretch is a ribbon of hairpin curves edged with gardens and the occasional teenager "buttboarding"––slaloming the sidewalks seated on their skateboards––for tips. Two blocks south of Lombard is Filbert Street, where the corresponding one–block stretch has no curves, no gardens, and a lot fewer cars. This is reputedly the steepest street in America, and looking down from the top, you will know it.
Alcatraz Book your tickets for the Alcatraz island boat and audio tour a week or two before you visit (800/426–8687 or 415/705–5555; boats depart hourly from Pier 41; www.nps.gov/alcatraz). And go early––by noon the island is mobbed. The prison tour is one of the very best of its kind. Sound effects, voices of former convicts and guards, and the bleak compound itself add up to a haunting experience. Bring lunch; there are picnic tables close to the dock.
Fisherman's Wharf This may be a shameless tourist trap (with exorbitant parking prices), but it's fun and incredibly pretty. Expect silver–painted street performers, tinseled T–shirts, and cheesy snow globes. Duck into Ripley's Believe It or Not! (175 Jefferson St.; 415/771–6188) to see a portrait of van Gogh made of toast, and video footage of Laurello, the man with the revolving head. Or get serious and tour the cramped confines of the USS Pampanito, a World War II submarine(Pier 45; 415/775–1943; www.maritime.org/pamphome.htm). At Aquarium of the Bay (Pier 39; 415/623–5300), a moving walkway glides quietly through an underwater Plexiglas tunnel surrounded by fish.
The cavernous Exploratorium (3601 Lyon St., inside the Palace of Fine Arts; 415/397–5673), the sole surviving building from the Pacific–Panama Exposition of 1915, is devoted to science in all its wonder and diversity. The main attraction here is the Tactile Dome (book at least a week in advance), an unassuming geodesic structure in which kids navigate a series of environments and obstacles in total darkness, figuring out their path by touch. It's cramped for adults, so let the kids go it alone. The 500–odd other exhibits invite involvement––kids shoot hoops while wearing distorting glasses, press their faces into a huge pin–screen, and listen as an echo tube makes a clap sound like a gunshot. There's a separate play area for kids under four. And for hearty souls, cow's–eye dissections take place hourly.
Metreon (101 Fourth St.; 415/369–6000 or 800/638–7366; www.metreon.com) is a Sony–produced multimedia center full of sound, fury, and Sony products for sale. Don't miss the virtual bowling alley: your cyberball rolls through a simulated landscape (San Francisco, Rome, or, for the literal–minded, a bowling alley) while you guide it past assorted hazards. Under–sevens will want to play whack–a–goblin and pull the levers that open giant flowers in the exhibit based on Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are. It's an easy, unthreatening environment that would be even nicer if you didn't have to enter through the gift shop.
For a real bowling alley, visit the Rooftop at Yerba Buena Gardens (750 Folsom St.; 415/777–3727), located on the roof of the subterranean Moscone Convention Center. There's also an NHL–sized ice rink here; a playground; the gorgeous 1906 Looff Carousel, in a glass pavilion; and Zeum (221 Fourth St. @ Howard St.; 415/777–2800; www.zeum.com), an art and technology center for 8– to 18–year–olds, where you can produce your own animated short or multimedia video.
Cross a footbridge from the Rooftop to get to the Esplanade, where you won't want to missthe Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial, with its waterfall and stirring words etched on glass. Ready for more?The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (151 Third St.; 415/357–4000; www.sfmoma.org)––Picasso! Matisse! O'Keeffe!––is across the street.
Clustered around a fountain courtyard in the middle of Golden Gate Park, the California Academy of Sciences [This property has moved and can now be found at 875 Howard St.; 415/321–8000; www.calacademy.org] is home to an aquarium, a planetarium, and a natural history museum. At the latter, the 10–minute film Earthquake has a special effect that is truly special: honest–to–goodness quaking. It's creepy, but not so creepy as the soft shuddering of the overhead lights when the show ends. Around the corner, within the complex, is a hilarious exhibit of drawings by favorite son Gary Larson, of Far Side fame. Nearby, the maze of paths through the Japanese Tea Garden (Golden Gate Park, next to the Asian Art Museum; 415/752–4277) is at its most spectacular in April, when the cherry blossoms bloom.
At Golden Gate Park, you can also rent bikes and pedal west for four miles before you hit the ocean. Stop to play Pooh–sticks by the little falls on the island in the middle of Stow Lake, and watch turtles bask on the shore. Farther along, there's a buffalo paddock, playing fields, stables, the Wilhelmina Tulip Garden (with its own windmill), and, finally, the Pacific. On warm days, no one will be able to resist a little splashing around, so bring dry duds for the ride back. There are plenty of bike–rental shops across from the park on Stanyan Street, including Cyco SF (640 Stanyan St.; 415/668–8016), which accepts reservations.
Muir Woods National Monument (Muir Woods Rd., Mill Valley; 415/388–2595; www.nps.gov/muwo) is over the Golden Gate and a quick 12 miles or so north, the drive a tonic after days of hectic sightseeing. The road winds up Mount Tamalpais and down into the quietude of the redwood forest. Your first sight of the magnificent, ancient trees is mind–boggling. Everybody gets the vibe: it's the overwhelming feeling of age and permanence that cling to these trees. Babies reach out to touch the furrowed bark, and older kids try to
figure out why the scene looks familiar, even if they've never visited before (the speeder–bike sequence in Return of the Jedi was superimposed onto footage shot here). The paths are well marked for walks averaging 30, 60, or 90 minutes. Warning: This is a very popular spot. Arrive no later than 9:30 (the park opens at eight) to maximize your spiritual communing time.
On your way back, turn off Highway 101 at the second Sausalito exit, to the Marin Headlands (hours are limited–call 415/331–1540 for information). A well–preserved Nike missile–launching base serves as a museum, and there are spectacular views of the city's coastline from the Point Bonita Lighthouse, reached via a steep path and a narrow, swaying footbridge. A plaque near the path, open only Saturday through Monday, deems the journey hazardous, so it's only for older, adventurous kids. Farther on, the picturesquely rotting 19th–century hulk of Battery Mendell is an observation area scattered with World War I– and II–era gun turrets.
For more rusticity, take the 20–minute ferry ride from Pier 41 or 431/2to Angel Island State Park (415/435–1915; for ferry info, 415/773–1188), in the bay. Hike, bike, kayak (rent from Sea Trek in Sausalito, 415/332–4465), picnic, look for hummingbirds and raccoons, and poke around the long–abandoned immigration barracks and Civil War–era military installations. Campsites are available (800/444–7275).
Hip Yet Homey Bedecked in Margaritaville pastels, the Hotel del Sol (3100 Webster St.; 877/433–5765 or 415/921–5520, fax 415/931–4137; family of four from $189) is a renovated fifties motor lodge. Its57 rooms include a suite called Groovy Geeks; there's also a sauna and, best of all, a heated outdoor pool that's a godsend after a hard day's horizon–broadening. For families, the nearby dining options are ideal: there's Mel's Drive–In and IHOP on Lombard Street, and Doidge's Café (see Food and Drink) on Union Street, the Cow Hollow district's trendy shopping strip.

what was your dream about..
Islamic dreams about Gold, Stolen, Home, Robbed find dream interpretations. Meanings & explanations for Gold, Stolen, Home, Robbed dictionary!
Gold, Stolen, Home, Robbed dream interpretations
Home Dream Explanation
— The distinction is very vague in Arabic between the words dar and bayt, both meaning "house" or "home." But after consulting a knowledgeable colleague (a Moroccan ambassador and man of letters), the author assumes that dar is more likely to mean a house as a structure or an apartment block and bayt a room, an apartment, or simply home. However, in the ancient Arab texts the writer often jumps from one meaning to another, and I have taken real pain trying to disentangle them, as usual. Home symbolizes the man's wife sheltered under his roof and to whom he goes, whence the expression "He went home." Therefore, home and wife are synonyms. The door is her vagina or her face, the closet or the safe a maiden, like the dreamer's daughter, whom he does not penetrate, as they are covered or hidden places in which he does not sleep. The servants quarters symbolize the servant (s). The place where cereals are stored is the mother, who used to keep the dreamer alive and let him grow by feeding him milk. The toilet represents those servants who are in charge of cleaning and washing or the dreamer's wife, whom he embraces and penetrates when isolated, i.e., away from his children and the rest of the household.
• Looking from the kowwa (a kind of small window in old houses): The dreamer is in the habit of contemplating his wife's vagina or ass.
• Seeing a large private apartment made of clay or concrete in one's home that was not there before: A good woman will enter the house. If the apartment is plastered or made of bricks, an obscene and hypocritical woman will appear.

Gold Dream Explanation
— In a dream, gold is a disliked element which cause damages, anxiety and losses. Wearing a golden bracelet in a dream means receiving an inheritance. Wearing a golden ornament in a dream means marriage to an incompatible person. Any wedding gift one receives from such a person means trouble. Receiving a golden bar in a dream means losing money or business. If one sees himself melting a bar of gold in a dream, it means that he will be persecuted for committing a loathsome act and he will become the talk of the town. Seeing broken chips of gold or a whole coin of gold in a dream means meeting with the ruler of the country or with the governor of town. Minting gold in a dream represents evil, death or destruction. Seeing one's house turning gold in a dream means that a fire will consume his house. If one's hand turns gold in a dream, it means that it may be paralyzed. Seeing one's eyes turning gold in a dream means that he may become blind. Wearing a golden necklace, or a silver necklace, or a necklace studded with gems in a dream means that one will become a leader, or that he could receive something in trust. Gold in a dream also represents the elements of festivities, joy, profits, good deeds, dispelling stress, marriage, children, knowledge, spiritual guidance, or literally the business of goldsmith. If one sees gold turning into silver in a dream, it means decrease in value, or changing conditions in relation to women, children or properties. The opposite is also true. If one sees silver turning into gold in a dream, it means increase in value, the rising moon of one's wife, children, business or clan. Any gold embroidered garment or fabric in a dream means religious offerings. Any gold plated ornaments in a dream means emulating mundane people, or outwardly imitating spiritual people, or ostentatiously acting like them. Pure gold or silver in a dream means purity and sincerity of one's intentions, making a true covenant or signing a peace treaty. Gold plated or silver plated ornaments or gold leaf objects in a dream represent a short life, changing circumstances, spending long and sleepless nights, or it could mean forgetfulness. Wearing any manufactured or handmade piece of jewelry in a dream means perpetual earnings. The same interpretation is given to gold foils. (Also see Goldsmith)
Gold Dream Explanation
— Contrary to what many people might think, gold was not a good dream for the ancient Arabs. They resented the word itself, thahab, which in their language meant "gone," the same as they disliked the yellow color, which was associated in their mind with the yellow, untruthful, or rather poisonous smile and with the notion of pallor. Gold is a particularly bad omen for men but a good dream for women if they wear it. For men it is a harbinger of losses, fines, hatred, disease, and other calamities. Gold dinars (coins) are the least harmful, because Daniel the Wise was reported as saying that having more than four dinars in one's hand meant the dreamer would be hated and hear bad things commensurate with the number of coins. If the number of coins is known, worries will be minor. According to Ibn Siren, having one dinar of medium size is a reference to a nice and cozy house, five dinars means that the subject would do something acceptable, and an even number of dinars between one hundred and one thousand means that the dreamer will become a specialist in conducting tests. Giving a dinar to somebody means one will lose part of one's knowledge. Anyhow, contradictory views exist about the metal.
• Seeing gold: Sorrow and forced expenditure.
• Seeing gold covered with mud or hidden somewhere or somehow, though you know where it is: Failure.
• Perceiving gold as stored somewhere or placed in bags without seeing its color: Good dream; should expect gains, provided you are a pious person.
• Wearing
in general: Will enter into a marital relationship with people of a lower standard.
• Wearing a gold bracelet or bangle: Will inherit.
• Wearing two gold bracelets or bangles: Troubles are ahead by your own making, as for men
especially in the form of bracelets, is usually a bad omen or a reference to liars, as reportedly stated by the Holy Prophet. But for a virtuous person the same dream could mean more obedience to God and greater prosperity, in view of a verse in the Holy Quran that reads: "… therein they will be given armlets of gold and will wear green robes of finest silk and gold embroidery." ("Surat Al-Kahf" [The Cave], verse 31.) The same dream could also mean gains achieved with hardships.
• Wearing a golden or silver anklet: Will experience fear or go to jail. In any case, anklets, for men, symbolize chains, and all sorts of jewels and ornaments for them are bad, save the pendent, the necklace, the ring, and the earring.
• For women, bracelets and anklets refer to the husband. Jewels symbolize their children. Gold is the male child and silver the girls. Unmanufactured gold is worse than gold made into jewels, because in the latter case its ugly name, thahab (gone), is changed into bangle or something else.
• Wearing a pendant or necklace: Will be entrusted with some high function or given a country or city to rule.
• A man wearing a pendent partly made of gold: Will perform the pilgrimage to Mecca (Mecca (Makkah)). If the pendent is completely made of
he will become a ruler or a chief. In general, the pendent symbolizes man's power and value. The longer and the heavier the better.
• A man wearing a golden earring: He is a good singer.
• Receiving a golden ring, a typical ring: Weakening religious faith, unless something is carved on it.
• Receiving a golden ring that does not look like a ring and with nothing carved on it: Will lose some belonging or will arouse the chief's wrath and anger.
• Finding a gold ingot or gold bar: Will lose one's money or encounter trouble commensurate with the size or number of gold bars. Otherwise, the dreamer will be forced by the ruler or his chief to do something against his will or will pay a fine.
• Melting gold: Will be involved in a scandal and become the talk of the town.
• Seeing one's house made of or plated with gold: The house will burn.
• Manufacturing gold bars: Evil will befall the dreamer, and he will be destroyed.
• Seeing one's hands made of gold: The hands will be paralyzed.
• Seeing one's eyes made of gold: Will become blind. For others, seeing gold: (1) Joys and/or marriage ceremonies. (2) Welfare. (3) Good deeds. (4) Husbands. (5) Children. (6) Knowledge and wisdom. (7) Jewelry and ornaments.
• Giving away a big piece of gold: Will become a ruler or authority will be enhanced.
• Finding broken gold or solid gold coins: Will meet the ruler and return safe and sound.
• Gold turning into silver: Decaying situation in terms of women, money, children, and servants.
• Silver turing into gold: A change for the better.
• Clothes for the upper part of the body ornamented with
such as lady's masks, veils, et cetera: She who wears them will come closer to God. But if she just owns them, she will undergo a bitter experience. God will test her mettle.
• Pure gold (or silver) symbolizes candid intentions, truthfulness, and the fulfilment of promises.
• Conversely, anything plated with gold: Imitation and falsehood.
• Plated gold or silver sheets: Short-lived actions, upheavals, absent-mindedness, and forgetfulness.
• Spun gold (or silver): Continuous welfare.
• Seeing a trader of spun gold: (1) Joys and/or marriage ceremonies. (2) A reference to those who combine virtue and vice. Other interpreters believe that plenty of gold is a reference to wealth. Little of it is a loss of such wealth.
• Finding gold or taking it from someone: An excellent dream. It means that whoever you love is faithful and that your projects will be successful, provided the gold is clean and glittering. It also means that you will surmount difficulties.
• Having lost some gold and looking for it: You have trusted unworthy persons.
• Wearing a golden ring: Marriage or success in one's endeavours, no matter whether the ring was in your or somebody else's hand.
• Eating gold: Will store wealth for one's children.
Bars of Gold Dream Explanation
— Seeing bars of gold or crockery made from gold means losing some of a perbond wealth or the king or governor becoming unhappy or disillusioned with him.
A Gold Ring Dream Explanation
— It symbolises unlawful and haraam wealth and clothing.
Gold Coins Dream Explanation
— If the origin and quantity is unknown and they are more than four, its interpretation is somewhat unpleasant. It represents grief and sorrow which he will experience. Receiving any of these means his reputation will be harmed. This, in turn will lead to a dispute or quarrel. But if their quantity is known the matter will be less serious and it will be settled in due course.
Silver Etc. Dream Explanation
— If a person sees himself in the act of melting
silver, iron or lead and casting any of them into any form such as coins, it means he will become the subject of people's slandering and backbiting.

— If this seen in his dream a son will be born in his house.
A Single Gold Coin or Coins up to Four Dream Explanation
— They represent his children whose numbers depend on the numbers he had seen.
A Silver or Gold Necklace Studded with Jewels Dream Explanation
— Seeing the above in the dream means that a person will be made to guard some trust. At times jewels, if mined and their quantity is not known, mean fortunes from which a person will derive much benefit.
A Dead Person Entering the Home of a Sick Person Dream Explanation
— Either his sickness will prolong or he will die soon.
Dry Grass Dream Explanation
— Dry grass serves as a harbinger for receiving gold in the near future, Ibn Sirin (RA) used to refer to grass as pure gold. One, when he was presented with a camel load of dry grass, he looked at it for a long time, then said: "I wish I had seen this in my dream!", for then he would have received gold.
Chicks Dream Explanation
— (Baby; Chicken; Fowl) A chick in a dream represents a stolen or a missing child. The sound of chicks in a dream represents the voice of insolent people. Eating chick's meat in a dream means receiving unlawful or stolen money. Chicks in a dream also signify something that will develop fast and produce its results without much effort on the part of the person caring for them.

If one finds himself depressed and annoyed with the arrival of the traveller in the dream, then his dream may signify having to ask for something from someone, or needing others, or confronting the unavoidable.

When I first start up it is fine, but after a few hours it slows down to the point I can't make it to the shut-down mode.
When I do shut it down and restart it works fine, but this is getting annoying! It is a Dell Latitude D5 with XP and Firefox running. Any ideas? |

What is the make and model of the mouse itself? |
Sorry Owbist, I should have been more clear. This is a laptop so I move the cursor with my finger. Would it be better to buy a wired mouse? |
I just went and found an old corded mouse and it works great. Still, If you have an answer I would love to hear it! Thanks! |
Just curious, are you using this laptop on your lap or a desk..if on your lap or another soft surface, you could be causing heat issues because you may be blocking the fan vents on the bottom/sides..What you are refering to is called the touchpad, not a mouse... |
I am going to go out on a limb here and believe we are talking about the screen pointer. That is called a cursor. I like Gene's heat thought. Also, quite often a slow responding "mouse" is a result of lack of system resources. It could be the same here with your laptop's "cursor". In both cases as multi-tasking activities amass perhaps the system can't keep up. A reboot then creates a reset and everything starts over fresh. You might want to take a look in the startup as to what is running, DA |

A key to healthy eating is choosing foods lower in salt and sodium. Most Americans consume more salt than they need. The current recommendation is to consume less than 2.4 grams (2,400 milligrams) of sodium a day. That equals 6 grams (about 1 teaspoon) of table salt a day.
The 6 grams include all salt and sodium consumed, including that used in cooking and at the table. For someone with high blood pressure, the doctor may advise eating less salt and sodium, as recent research has shown that people consuming diets of 1,500 milligrams of sodium had even better blood pressure lowering benefits. These lower-sodium diets also can keep blood pressure from rising and help blood pressure medicines work better.
Quick facts on salt
Most sodium is consumed in the form of sodium chloride which is table salt. Other forms of sodium are also found in food, so watch out for salt and sodium.
Try to have less than 2,400 milligrams of sodium a day — that's the same as 6 grams of salt a day, or about 1 teaspoon.
That includes all sodium and salt — what's in the product, and added in cooking and at the table.
Processed foods account for most of the sodium and salt consumed. Check food labels — sodium is in some foods you might not expect, such as soy sauce and some antacids.
Kosher salt and sea salt are just that — salt. Don't forget to include them in adding up your sodium intake for the day.
Reducing salt in the diet can lower blood pressure.
Tips for reducing sodium in your diet
• Buy fresh, plain frozen or canned "with no salt added" vegetables.
• Use fresh poultry, fish and lean meat, rather than canned or processed types.
• Use herbs, spices and salt-free seasoning blends in cooking and at the table.
• Cook rice, pasta and hot cereals without salt. Cut back on instant or flavored rice, pasta and cereal mixes, which usually have added salt.
• Choose "convenience" foods that are lower in sodium. Cut back on frozen dinners, pizza, packaged mixes, canned soups or broths, and salad dressings — these often have a lot of sodium.
• Rinse canned foods, such as tuna, to remove some sodium.
• When available, buy low- or reduced-sodium, or no-salt-added versions of foods.
• Choose ready-to-eat breakfast cereals that are lower in sodium.
Flavor that food
Make foods tasty without using salt. Try these flavorings, spices, and herbs:
Beef — Bay leaf, marjoram, nutmeg, onion, pepper, sage, thyme
Lamb — Curry powder, garlic, rosemary, mint
Pork — Garlic, onion, sage, pepper, oregano
Veal — Bay leaf, curry powder, ginger, marjoram, oregano
Chicken — Ginger, marjoram, oregano, paprika, poultry seasoning, rosemary, sage, tarragon, thyme
Fish — Curry powder, dill, dry mustard, lemon juice, marjoram, paprika, pepper
Carrots — Cinnamon, cloves, marjoram, nutmeg, rosemary, sage
Corn — Cumin, curry powder, onion, paprika, parsley
Green beans — Dill, curry powder, lemon juice, marjoram, oregano, tarragon, thyme
Greens — Onion, pepper
Peas — Ginger, marjoram, onion, parsley, sage
Potatoes — Dill, garlic, onion, paprika, parsley, sage
Summer squash — Cloves, curry powder, marjoram, nutmeg, rosemary, sage
Winter squash — Cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, onion
Tomatoes — Basil, bay leaf, dill, marjoram, onion, oregano, parsley, pepper

Activision has detailed the very first Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Content Collection, encompassing the already-released Modern Warfare 3 maps Liberation, Piazza and Overwatch plus the new Black Box map and two new Spec Ops missions, Black Ice and Negotiator. It's coming to Xbox Live on 20th March.
You'll get the new maps and Spec Ops earlier, however, if you're a Call of Duty: Elite subscriber, as per Call of Duty's well-documented desire to become the FPS equivalent of World of Warcraft. Black Box, Black Ice and Negotiator hit Elite on 13th March.
"In "Black Box," players will battle beside a downed Air Force One amidst multi-level homes overlooking the luxurious Southern California neighbourhood," reads the blurb. Black Ice sees you infiltrating a diamond mine by snowmobile in order to blow it up. Negotiator takes players to India to rescue hostages, and features both room clearance and street-level battles.
As the release points out, this is the first time a Spec Ops mission has been sold online. We've got goosebumps. Are there any other ways Modern Warfare 3's DLC could change things up? Infinity Ward is apparently looking into the possibility of story DLC.
Expect a further two new multiplayer maps in April, as per this thrilling MW3 content schedule. There will be four Modern Warfare 3 Content Collections in total, released some time after the individual maps and missions.

Proving that old misunderstandings are not easily resolved, Politico published an anachronistically bad article about climate science yesterday. The piece, by Erika Lovley, began by stating that:
Climate change skeptics on Capitol Hill are quietly watching a growing accumulation of global cooling science and other findings that could signal that the science behind global warming may still be too shaky to warrant cap-and-trade legislation.
First of all, Lovley does not review (or even mention) a single piece of climate research that supports the notion of a "growing accumulation of global cooling science." Second of all, she bases her entire piece on the arguments of Josef D'Aleo and a section on climate change that he wrote for the 2009 Old Farmer's Almanac (that bastion of peer-reviewed science!). D'Aleo is co-founder of The Weather Channel and a career meteorologist with a master's degree in meteorology, but he does not have a doctorate in climatology. Generally speaking, that is an important distinction that all climate reporters should be aware of when choosing sources for their reporting.
There has been a notable trend in global-warming skepticism among meteorologists; it's unclear exactly why that is, but it has led to some journalistic confusion about the difference between weather (meteorologists' domain) and climate (Ph.D climate scientists' domain). And that confusion has abetted some of the misunderstanding about global cooling. Lovley writes that:
Armed with statistics from the Goddard Institute for Space Studies and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Climate Data Center, D'Aleo reported in the 2009 Old Farmer's Almanac that the U.S. annual mean temperature has fluctuated for decades and has only risen 0.21 degrees since 1930 — which he says is caused by fluctuating solar activity levels and ocean temperatures, not carbon emissions.
Data from the same source shows that during five of the past seven decades, including this one, average U.S. temperatures have gone down. And the almanac predicted that the next year will see a period of cooling.
Well, yes, the mean temperature in the U.S. has gone up and down over the last century, but it's global mean temperature that really matters in this debate. Furthermore, if Lovely had called the people behind that data, she would have learned that the scientists at Goddard firmly believe the world is getting warmer. Lovley gets to the Northern Hemisphere, at least, shortly thereafter when she quotes D'Aleo delivering one of the most common, and fairly easily rebutted, arguments in the skeptic's playbook: "Recent warming has stopped since 1998."
First, 1998 was an anomalously warm year (due to a particularly strong El Niño effect in the Pacific), so it is not a particularly good baseline for comparison. Second, the statement relies on only one data set (i.e. temperature record), from the Hadley Climate Centre in the U.K.'s Met Office (weather service), which happens to represent the lower end of warming. Other data sets show greater warming since 1998, and although the Hadley Centre data still lists that year as the hottest on record, others agree that 2005 was hottest and that 1998 and 2007 are tied for second place. Finally, the last and perhaps biggest problem with D'Aleo's statement is that ten years is really too short a time period to show anything useful about climate. (Both Grist and New Scientist have made all of this abundantly clear; and, like Goddard, the Hadley Centre does not dispute the scientific consensus on climate change). The bottom line: in the long run, the Earth as a whole is still getting warmer.
This brings us back to the confusion about weather and climate, and the fact that short-term changes in the former are irrelevant to long-term trends in the latter. Yet every winter, the onset of cold inspires climate skeptics to once again attempt to "debunk" global warming and journalists to once again fall for the maneuver. I reported on that phenomenon in 2007, and New York Times reporter Andrew Revkin covered it in March 2008. Despite journalists' earnest, and somewhat successful, efforts to move past the basic points that global warming is happening and that human industry is the cause, lingering confusion about the basics of climate science continues to plague public understanding.

A plethora of environmental lobbyists took to the state capitol yesterday morning following a rally with several, urging congressmen to sponsor bill S1225. The bill aims to deplete holdings of fossil fuel companies from Massachusetts' public fund by 2020.[soundcloud id='137059152' color='#2a3590']
The bill, which targets the 1.3 billion dollars worth of holdings to fossil fuel companies like Exxon and TransCanda, is a step towards eliminating the state's reliance on fossil fuels.
This is not the first time 350 Massachusetts, the organization hosting the assembled lobbyists, held an event like yesterday's. Another rally was held this past September, pushing the same divestment bill.
One of the lobbyists, Somerville resident Shivanni St George, was vocal about her concerns regarding what she says is the greater issue at hand.
"Climate Change is an issue that affects all of us, and we have to do something to help support the environment and cutting down fossil fuels is one of the clearest, simplest ways to do that," she said.
The lobbyists urged Congressmen to attend a legislative briefing on the bill, which took place earlier this morning. If passed, the bill would require the Pension Reserves Investment Trust (PRIT) to divest their funds by 20% each year for the next five years.
The bill aims to eliminate investment in what supporters see as a dying resource for the State, as the risk of rising global temperatures may make fossil fuels unburnable in the near future.

Thanks a lot - think I'll try both methods!
Does anyone know if these seeds have to be sown now and overwintered or kept until next spring please? They are apparently slow to germinate but I can't find out if they need stratification.
Many thanks
Hogweed was right, there isn't much to do over the winter period so you need to factor that in if you have a house to run, family to care for and bills to pay - and equipment to maintain. Also the weather can play havoc with your gardening plans when you are up and running, it's not always sunny and you can't mow a waterlogged lawn. Go for it but have another string to your bow so that in the lean times you can earn a crust. So instead of doing 1 course, do another as well, painting and decorating, electrician, roofer, teaching etc, stuff you can do on an ad hoc basis. Then you can live and enjoy work. You must also try to speak to local gardeners to see what work is about - no point starting up if the area is already saturated. Good luck.
No-one 'years ago' would have thought to speak with a double negative like that, I can't imagine who would have - you might be thinking about a modern programme.
If they're not in the house why worry? Protect your seeds and bulbs and let the natural world get on with life. What sick individuals would use glue traps?
Hi, I have a cherry tree (Lapin) on Gisela 5 rootstock as I wanted to have a small tree, does anyone know if it would be suitable for fan training please, or would I have to have one on a larger rootstock?
I hadn't thought about the stems being broken - they are all just bent, so I'll do as you suggest and stake them. I was surprised they were so flimsy but the rain was very hard and there's a lot of topgrowth. What a pain this year has turned out to be!
Hi - in the recent torrential rain my red dogwood in an island bed has been trashed and is now half it's height and won't stand upright again. Is it too late to cut all the bent stems (about half the shrub) hard back or shall I stake it? I don't want to kill it off but it can't stay as it is as it looks horrendous and is shading out a lot of lawn. Any ideas please?
Hi - can anyone help please with the soil type for these bulbs. I plan to soak them for 24 hours before planting but into what? Should it be gritty, JI no 3, leaf mould or just ordinary compost? I am moving and just bought some half price bulbs and want to put them in pots awaiting final transplanting later in the year. Should I add some bonemeal? I haven't had much luck with them in the past so this is my final shot! Many thanks

"Pleasant experience on a long flight"
Flight from Montreal to Prague
- Airline:
- Lufthansa
- Round Trip
- Number of Stops:
- 1 stop in Munich, Germany
- Date of Flight:
- June 2010
- Seat Class:
- economy
First time flying with Lufthansa on an International flight and give them high marks for service, meals and best of all the very comfortable seats and leg room we had. Another good feature of their Airbus configuration was that all the washrooms were in the centre of the plane (I think there were at least 6) so there was never a line up to use them. Flight crew were very pleasant and it was nice to wake up in the a.m. with a warm towel before having breakfast. Will definitely fly Lufthansa again.

Sunny Acres owner Dan De Vaul was booked into the San Luis Obispo County Jail after he was sentenced Monday. De Vaul was given the option of serving probation, but instead chose jail time.
In September, De Vaul was convicted on 2 out of the 9 charges related to building code violations at his recovery center off Los Osos Valley Road.
He will serve 90 days in county jail, and must pay a $1,000 fine.
De Vaul has 30 days to file an appeal. If he chooses to appeal the sentence, he can request bail, which will be set at $5,000.
San Luis Obispo County Code Enforcement said De Vaul has indicated he has no intention of bringing Sunny Acres up to code. The county says it will consult an attorney to decide its next move.

Birthdays should always be special, and the FujiFilm X100 Cake really made it special for one particular birthday boy. Baked for photographer Gary Cruz, this cake is not only unique, but it also is a replica of what I am going to assume is his favorite camera.
Created by his bakery-owning wife Beverly Cruz, the FujiFilm X100 Cake is quite the feat. Extremely true to the actual camera, the cake includes intricate details such as ridges, dials and even writing. Not only that, but the colors are dead-on as well.
Considering that cakes are becoming more and more of an art form thanks to TV shows like TLC's 'Cake Boss' and Food Network's 'Ace of Cakes,' I'm sure more like cakes like the FujiFilm X100 Cake are in store.

Will former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum become Iowa's comeback kid?
Santorum came in third in the Des Moines Register's latest poll with 15 percent of likely Republican Iowa caucusgoers saying they will vote for him. The Family Leader President and CEO Bob Vander Plaats' pre-Christmas endorsement certainly bolstered Santorum's then-overlooked campaign. Will it be enough for him to gain enough traction to move beyond the Hawkeye State on Jan. 3?
A CNN/Time-ORC poll conducted between Nov. 29 and Dec. 6 found only two percent of likely Republican and Independent New Hampshire voters said they would vote for Santorum in the primary. His socially conservative message against marriage equality, the end of the Pentagon's ban on openly gay and lesbian servicemembers, abortion and other issues will resonate far less with New Hampshire voters than their Iowa counterparts.
Conventional wisdom dictates that the economy will continue to dominate this year's election cycle. Will Santorum determine otherwise (at least for a little while?)
Iowa caucusgoers will have their say tomorrow.

Resident would rather see training than finingBy: | Posted: Thursday, Jun 05, 2014 06:00 am Re: �Teenage girl hospitalized afer dog bite in Fairways,� May 29 Dear Editor, I saw the recent story about the dog bite in your paper and the online poll that asked a simple yes or no question on whether the fine was high enough. In my opinion, the answer is not that simple. If the fine provides for the funding of education and training for both the offending dog and owner by a reputable dog trainer, who uses non violent methods then I would say the fine was exactly high enough. Destroying an animal and fining the owner after the fact doesn�t solve any of the problems of dog confrontations. In my opinion, just getting a dog license should come with mandatory training and education funded by a license fee. Instead we see large breed dogs being abused by the miseducated owners wishing to be in fashion. There are no bad breeds, just humans who do not have the tools to deal with them. I would rather see a proactive approach under licensing than a reactive approach under fining. Christopher Sjonnese,Airdrie Comments
