The Friends of the Swampscott Public Library have named Eve Roberts the Volunteer of the Year for 2014. Eve Roberts is the unsung heroine type – no fuss, just quietly working away year after year to help the library. She volunteers at the annual book sale, sending out the newsletter, and in the Children's Room. Too many hats, you say? Not for Eve – she does it all! Thank you for all your hard work. It is greatly appreciated.

I'm looking for suggestions for a late-May through June blooming perennial for an open shade bed that backs up to a woodland. I've got spring covered with the daffs, brunnera and wood poppy (along with a couple of rhododendrens and a carolina all spice) and later in the summer I have covered with the rose and angels blush campion and turtleheads.
But I haven't come up with perennials to bloom in open shade in average to poor soil (which of course I can improve) and average moisture for zone 6b/7a to provide a shot of color for the first part of summer. Anybody have any ideas? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Black cohosh (Actaea racemosa) has a white spike of flowers about then. Goat's beard (Aruncus dioicus)is another plant to consider, but also white. Monarda fistulosa is usually a pale purple bloom and it grows well in part shade. Later in the year, Helianthus divaricatus might be an option for yellow flowers in the sunnier areas of the woodland. |

What about lupines...aren`t they traditionally found in the sunnier areas of the woods |
- Posted by fatamorgana Zone 5/6 (My Page) on Mon, May 23, 11 at 11:28
Also be sure to visit the parks and nature trails around you. See what may be blooming along those that you like the looks of. If you don't know what they are, take some good pictures of the flowers and the leaves (incl. leaf arrangement) and ask for an identification on the Name that Plant forum. FataMorgana |
- Posted by highanddry none (My Page) on Tue, Aug 2, 11 at 2:21
What about bleeding hearts? Mine is still blooming in June and the fern bleeding heart blooms all summer. |
Heucheras 2 biennials: Sweet William (Dianthus barbatus) & forget-me-not (Myosotis) Corydalis lutea groundcovers: Galium odoratun (Sweet Woodruff) Lamium mac... (spotted dead nettle),& Ajuga reptans perennial cornflower (Centaurea montana) hardy geraniums G. phaeum & G. macrorrhizum (bigroot) Polemonium caeruleum (Jacob's ladder) Sambucus nigra (black elderberry) Columbine This year our spring & early summer was cooler than normal so blooms were later so might not match up with your season. I'm in western WA zone 7, so timing might be different for you. |
Virginia Bluebells I think. |
Disporum flavens , Glaucidium palmatum, Smilacina racemosa, Smilacina japonica, Lilium martagon(June/July), Trilliums, Polygonatum, Primula japonica(moist), Gillenia trifoliata, Trollius(moist) |

It's National Grilled Cheese Day and this rainy day just screams for a grilled cheese. We've compiled a list of restaurants around town are doing specials as well as some of all-time favorites.
Fourth of July, Philly Style: The Hot Dog Cheesesteak Hoagie
We were there when Dan Levy, Lead National Writer at BleacherReport.com and hot dog enthusiast created the hot dog cheesesteak hoagie. Today he shares the story on Foobooz.
What do you do in a town known for cheesesteaks and hoagies when on our nation's day of independence (and barbecues), when everyone in America is inhaling hot dogs as quickly and consistently as humanly possible? Combine them. Combine them all. That's what we did at The Pop Shop in Collingswood, NJ a few months ago, accidentally creating the greatest hot dog based sandwich a Philly taste bud could imagine.

Foobooz At The Pop Shop
Well last night was my TV debut on the Food Network as Drew Lazor of City Paper and I were judges on Throwdown with Bobby Flay. The show took place at the Pop Shop in Collingswood, NJ and featured owners "Stink" Fisher and Connie Correia Fisher and their famous grilled cheeses.
With the exception of an unfortunate double entendre things went well and I'm sure it will be good for the Pop Shop even if their delicious Calvert sandwich didn't beat Bobby Flay's brie, goat cheese, bacon and green tomato creation. Everyone I watched the show with were impressed with the Pop Shop's sandwich and the prospect of trying 31 others. Why not head there this month, after all it is national grilled cheese month.

Bobby Flay At Pop Shop
Bobby Flay challenged the Pop Shop in Collingswood, New Jersey to a grilled cheese throwdown yesterday and Arthur Etchells, editor of Foobooz was there as a judge. But don't even think of asking who won before the show airs this spring. That's one secret that isn't get let out.
South Jersey got a shot of television glitz and glamour Monday as celebrity chef Bobby Flay came to the Pop Shop for a grilled cheese-making contest for a future episode of the Food Network's "Throwdown! With Bobby Flay."
Flay squared off against Stink and Connie Correia Fisher, co-owners of the popular Haddon Avenue eatery whose menu features 31 varieties of grilled cheese sandwiches. For the show, which is scheduled to air in the spring, the Fishers pitted their Calvert sandwich against Flay's creation, dubbed the "Five B" by one of the invited guests at the taping.

Parenthood, More Than Chucky Cheese
Our friends at Dancing Meatballs gave us a couple good suggestions for family friendly restaurants that don't have a giant mouse for a mascot. Their first suggestion is the Pop Shop in Collingswood "which has an extensive kids menu, 'school nights', kids events like Saturday morning pajama party, stroller accessibility, diaper changing stations, and wait staff who deal well with kids." Even at the top end there is room for kids. "The Fountain at Four Seasons has the most kid friendly wait staff I have ever met. A tired and grouchy kid can be offered everything from free balloons, coloring books and crayons, to a visit to the kitchen and a room to rest in."
So where else is there where the sight of a child in a stroller doesn't prompt eye rolling by the staff and the amenities to keep a child occupied extend beyond a set of broken crayons.
Leave your suggestions in the comments.

Reviewed Roasted Squash Toss
Oct 10, 2013 on FoodNetwork.com
"Outstanding! I used cayenne pepper instead of red pepper flakes. I didn't have an orange so I used triple sec & burned off the alcohol over the almond slivers. I used only butternut squash. I used maple syrup instead of brown sugar. Really great flavor! This ones a keeper. Hubby even liked it & he hates squash. I was thinking I may use this..."

Celebrities around the world are making millions of dollars endorsing various gadgets, from cellphones to printer cartridges. Whether or not these expensive ad campaigns actually work is hard to know, but what is certain is that these corporations will continue to empty their wallets in order to get these hot celebrities to promote their products.
Check out these photos/videos of some of the most famous celebrity gadget endorsements in recent years, and you'll see how these celebrities are able to afford 5 houses on the beach, 10 cars in their garage, and all of the gadgets that they could ever want. Here are some of the funniest and most expensive endorsement deals in the gadget world to date.
1. Maria Sharapova [Canon]
The tennis star has recently signed an extension through 2010 with the popular digital camera manufacturer Canon to promote their PowerShot line of compacts. She also just inked a deal with Sony Ericsson to promote their mobile phones and line of accessories. It's multi-million deals such as this that has helped to land this multi-talented celebrity on the Forbes 100 list with an estimated income of $23 million per year.
2. Kate Moss [Nikon]
Nikon teamed up with controversial supermodel Kate Moss back in 2006 to promote the release of the new Coolpix S6. Their aim was to emphasise the sleek curves of the S6, and by choosing Kate Moss as the celebrity endorser, they certainly got the sleek and sexy point across!
3. Shakira [Panasonic]
Electronics giant Panasonic signed Grammy award-winning singer/songwriter Shakira to a multi-million dollar endorsement deal in 2006 to promote Panasonic's new line of Lumix digital cameras. The Latin singer 'shook her hips' all the way to the bank in 2007 with an estimated stash of about $38 million from endorsements and album sales.
4. Catherine Zeta-Jones [T-Mobile]
As the face of T-Mobile, actress Catherine Zeta-Jones has made some serious dough promoting the mobile phone giant's products. According to AdRants.com, she inked a deal with T-Mobile for about $20 million. That is one of the highest paying celebrity endorsement deals anywhere. I guess it really does pay to look good! Well, at least it did for Zeta-Jones until T-Mobile dropped her.
5. Ashton Kutcher [Nikon]
Nikon recently signed Hollywood actor Ashton Kutcher to promote their Coolpix Style line of digital cameras. The first TV commercial in this campaign aired on March 25, 2008. Kutcher was quoted as saying, '"I am thrilled to work with Nikon on this campaign". "I think technology today represents so much more than just function – it represents personal style and sophistication. I'm enjoying the opportunity to work with such a well respected brand and a group of highly creative individuals on a campaign that showcases the style, design and simplicity of the new COOLPIX cameras." Right. That's believable. And oh yeah, he's also thrilled to get the ridiculous paychecks for promoting the cameras!
6. Dwayne Wade and Charles Barkley [T-Mobile]
These two NBA stars, of the past and the present, signed on with T-Mobile to help promote their 'Fave 5′s' ad campaign. Their humourous banter back-and-forth makes for a somewhat watchable commercial, and it's costing T-Mobile a pretty penny to make it happen. Wade's endorsement deals alone total close to $20 million (including other endorsement deals as well), with a big chunk of that money being put-up by T-Mobile.
7. Various [Hewlett Packard]
What do you do when consumers think your products are boring? Pay a celebrity to endorse them! A few years ago, HP decided they needed to invest in their branding so people would suddenly think HP print cartridges were the coolest thing on the planet. It was a lofty ambition, and it was going to cost them a pretty penny. Their new ad campaign would cost the company about $300 million, and would feature a slew of celebrity endorsers including Gwen Stefani, Jay-Z, Vera Wang, Serena Williams, Abigail Breslin, Pharrell, and the Orange County Choppers. It was a costly affair that probably boosted the profile of the celebrities more than the company bankrolling them!
8. David Beckham [Motorola Razr]
Motorola launched a campaign in 2006 to promote its new Razr2 in the Hollywood area, which is where the soccer star currently resides. The billboard campaign for the new super sleek mobile phone needed a celebrity who matched those same credentials, and David Beckham was a perfect fit for Motorola. Beckham's multi-million dollar deal with Motorola expires in 2009. That's quite fortunate given the rate at which the iPhone is taking marketshare.
9. Justin Long [Apple]
If you live in the US, Canada, UK, Spain, Australia, Japan, or New Zealand, then you've probably seen the 'Mac vs. PC' commercials on television. The 'Get a Mac' ad campaign for Apple has been running since 2006 and has featured actor Justin Long since the popular commercials first aired. So far, approximately 50 different commercials have been created for the North American audience alone, including a cool Christmas commercial featuring Mac, PC, and Santa Claus as animated characters, much like the classic Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer animated movie.
10. Lebron James [Microsoft]
NBA superstar Lebron James did a multi-million ad campaign for the big release of the Microsoft Vista operating system back in January of 2007. This was the first time that any athlete has endorsed an operating system of any kind. Did the ad campaign work? Maybe, but it didn't help the Vista operating system from being an utter disaster.

The Clemson Institute for the Study of Capitalism has recently launched a new mini site:
Capitalism Resources
Here is a snippet from a piece on Competition:
In economic competition, the actions that various competitors take to "win" are different. In a capitalist system, individuals compete to be a more successful or more efficient producer of wealth. Whether in the form of earning a wage, inventing a new machine, manufacturing an electronic device, or hiring the best employee, competition in economic life always involves producing and offering values. When different individuals "compete" in the economic realm, they are each achieving a productive value—they each create wealth. Although one producer may exceed the others in success (he may sell more or earn more profits or hire better employees), the producers who have not "won" nevertheless have achieved something of value appropriate to their own productive effort. They may hire some other employee or sell some milk or make some profit. This point has been concretized well by philosopher Harry Binswanger. He notes that "if the New York Yankees could choose between winning by a score of 2 to 1 or losing by a score of 9 to 10, they would unhesitatingly choose winning, even though it means scoring fewer runs." By contrast, "if a business had to choose between 'winning' (being the market-leader in sales) with profits of $2 million or 'losing' (being second, third, or lower in earnings) with profits of $9 million, they would unhesitatingly choose 'losing.'"
Indeed, even when a particular seller of milk, for example, is "out-competed" in the marketplace and is unable to sell any milk, he benefits from the actions of the rival producer. His rival has achieved efficiency and productivity, has made it possible for others to be more productive and efficient, and in turn has created wealth. When the competitor was unable to make a sale, he failed to achieve a new value, but he did not "lose" the sale. It never "belonged" to him in the first place, though he was free to attempt to gain it. That each individual competitor has produced milk does not constitute a right or entitlement to sell it or to deserve customers. Each has entered the competition voluntarily with a full knowledge of the potential gains and risks. When the milk-seller who "loses" has seen his rival devise new ways of reducing the price of milk, he may be motivated to enact such cost-saving measures himself, he may be driven to new levels of productivity, or he may discover that his talents are better suited to another profession (or even to going to work as an employee for his former rival).

Mr. Deenihan Mr. Deenihan Mr. Deenihan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform when will the contract for the operation of speed cameras in the state be awarded; when it will be operational; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31892/06] Mr. McDowell Mr. McDowell Mr. McDowell: Following the receipt of recommendations from a working group, consisting of representatives of my Department, the Department of Transport, the Garda Síochána and the National Roads Authority, the Government approved proposals by my colleague the Minister for Transport and me on what elements of the provision and operation of speed cameras might be outsourced by the Garda Síochána, how this might be done and what legislative changes would be necessary. Because of the characteristics of the State's road network, mobile cameras offer the most effective solution, although the use of fixed cameras may be relevant at a small number of locations. Following the enactment of the Road Traffic Act 2006 there is now a legislative basis for outsourcing elements of the provision and operation of speed cameras. 224 Work has commenced on the necessary procurement process. Given the complexity of the process and in order to ensure adherence to EU [224] and national procurement regulations, including the prescribed time periods, procurement support services required to facilitate the outsourcing process have been engaged and are working with my Department, the Garda Síochána, the Department of Transport and the National Roads Authority in moving this process forward with all possible speed. Work is well advanced on the preparation of a call to the market for expressions of interest in tendering for the project. Following the call for expressions of interest, a number of candidates will be awarded pre-qualification status and short-listed to proceed to the next stage. A request for tenders will be made to the short-listed candidates, and the successful candidate will be selected on the basis of the tenders received. In parallel with this process, work is ongoing with the Garda Síochána and the National Roads Authority on identifying locations that either have a speed related collision history or are of a type where a higher than expected frequency of collisions may be expected to occur. Monitoring of driver speeds by the outsourced service provider will focus on these locations. I can assure the Deputy that I attach a very high priority to outsourcing and expanding the speed camera network and to ensuring there will be no undue delay in the procurement process. I expect that, subject to negotiations, the contract for safety cameras will be awarded and the start up phase commence in the first half of 2007. Dáil Éireann 625 Written Answers. Road Safety.

Hope for Homeowners?
The 8th Circuit federal courts recently dealt with a very important case for anyone who is trying to save their house from a foreclosure. The Fissette case, as it is know, deals with whether or not homeowners in Minnesota can get rid of their 2nd mortgages sometimes when the file for bankruptcy.
The verdict? Maybe. The court punted the decision to the lower courts to have some additional issues figure out. In the mean time, bankruptcy attorneys like myself will continue to try and get rid of 2nd mortgage wherever we can, and hope that we hear good news from the courts in the future.
I'll keep you posted.

Bankruptcy filings fell again in August
According to Buffalo News bankruptcy filings feel again this August.
While Minnesota is NOT New York, this trends can be seen in our state as well.
"New bankruptcy cases fell 10.6 percent from a year earlier in the Buffalo and Rochester courts, to 538 filings from 602 in August 2011, according to new statistics from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of New York. That includes a 7.7 percent decline in Buffalo, to 359 from 389, and a 16 percent drop in Rochester, to 179 from 213."
Thursday, August 30, 2012
According to the Boston Herald, bankruptcies are down this year, by quite a bit.
The newspaper reported that "Nationwide bankruptcy filings fell sharply in the first six months of 2012 to 627,000, compared to 725,000 for the same period last year, according to a report issued today by CreditCards.com."
This continues a trend we are seeing. It would seem as though many of the people who could afford to file for bankruptcy, have already done so. Those who can't afford to file, are still treading water trying to pay their bills.
It doesn't have to be this way. Even if you can only afford $100 a month, we can set up a payment plan for you to file for bankruptcy.

10 Common Misconceptions About Bankruptcy
There are many stigmas attached to Bankruptcy including: who files, what happens to your house, your credit, and most importantly "how broke" you need to be to file. The truth is, bankruptcy is NOT all of these things, and in fact can be a very smart financial and life decision for some people. Waiting until your options are very limited on your own can in some cases leave you with less options when filing.

Metro Officer Resigns After Allegedly Reporting to Work Intoxicated
Stream WZTV Fox 17 Newscasts LIVE starting with Fox 17 This Morning at 5am and News at 9pm.
South Precinct Officer Nathan Silvers submitted his resignation Monday from the Metropolitan Police Department effective after he serves a 30-day suspension, the department announced in a press release.
Silvers, 33, who graduated from the police academy last November, reported late for work Friday night in uniform, armed and apparently drunk, the release read.
He was charged Saturday with DUI (for driving his personal vehicle to work while allegedly intoxicated), unlawful gun possession while under the influence of alcohol, and violation of the implied consent law for refusing to submit to a blood alcohol test.
Field Supervising Captain Kenny Dyer submitted his notice of retirement on Monday to be effective after he serves a 30-day suspension. Dyer, a 26-year Metro Police veteran who was promoted to captain on March 1, responded to the South Precinct Friday night and consulted with Silvers sergeant, Terrence Bradley. The decision was made to decommission Silvers and drive him to his Hendersonville home. Neither Chief Steve Anderson nor the deputy chiefs were made aware. After learning of this matter at 5:30 a.m. Saturday, Anderson ordered an immediate investigation of Silvers, which was conducted by the police departments DUI Unit.
Anderson also ordered the immediate decommissioning of Dyer and Bradley. Disciplinary action against Bradley is pending.

Immunetics Featured at Boston Startup America Event
BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, March 30, 2011 – Immunetics, Inc., a provider of innovative clinical diagnostic tests, was highlighted yesterday as part of a roundtable and tour for President Barack Obama's Startup America initiative. Hosted by Boston Mayor Thomas Menino, senior administration officials from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Small Business Administration, State Department, and Department of Energy visited the company's facilities to gain insight into Immunetics' success. The event was part of Startup America's effort to accelerate high-growth entrepreneurship across the country.
"Immunetics came to the South Boston Innovation District after recognizing that an attractive business location with talented people, reasonable facility costs, and access to capital would be a great place to achieve their next stage of growth," Mayor Menino said. "Now, the city's partnership with Immunetics has generated benefits that exceeded all of our expectations. Together, we've created jobs, won millions of dollars in grants and contracts, and most importantly, achieved medical advances that will help millions of people overcome life-threatening diseases."
Immunetics President and Chief Executive Officer Dr. Andrew Levin said LifeTech Boston, the Mayor's program that supports the life sciences industry in the city and is administered through the Boston Redevelopment Authority, helped locate a facility that could support the company's growth objectives, plus secure a loan to finance its build-out.
"Since then, we have almost tripled the size of our workforce, won over $22 million in grants and contracts, and developed better diagnostics for diseases such as HIV, Lyme disease, and other serious infections that threaten our blood supply," said Dr. Levin. "Our move to the Innovation District has been the key to Immunetics' growth and success over the past 7 years."
The Startup America initiative's goal is to increase opportunities for entrepreneurs by expanding access to capital, developing education and mentorship programs, and improving collaboration between startup and established companies.

SO Delicious Coconut Milk Nog Lives Up to Its Name
This stuff really is "so delicious." If you love eggnog but you can't have dairy like me, you're going to want to pick some of this SO Delicious Coconut Milk Nog up. To me, it doesn't taste like it has any obvious coconut flavor in it, despite being coconut milk-based. It just tastes like regular eggnog to me.
There's less fat and protein in this version of eggnog than there is in the regular kind, so if you like to cook with it, keep in mind that it may react differently. My husband likes to make eggnog bread and it's incredible, but he claims this won't work. I'm not sure what the sugar content's like in regular eggnog, but this has 14 g per ½ cup.
With normal eggnog, I would normally cut it about half and half with regular milk. If you're sensitive to dairy, that's not an option and I'm not sure how cutting this with plain coconut or almond milk would taste. I drank it straight and it was fine, but it was a little thick and sweet for my preferences.
I'm still not exactly going to let it go to waste. It's still-delicious! I enjoy adding it to my coffee in the mornings for something a little different, since flavored creamers and syrups aren't that good to me anymore and half and half isn't an option. I usually drink black coffee, but I like to mix it up with this.
I found my carton at Whole Foods for around $4.00, and my sister found some at Kroger recently. It should be in the non-dairy section near the milk and refrigerated coffee creamers. You can also check the refrigerated health food section, especially in Kroger. That's where I find most of the SO Delicious brand.

[1166] A Comparative Analysis of LEF-1 in Odontogenic and Salivary Tumors.
Elizabeth A Bilodeau, Marie Acquafondata, Leon Barnes, Raja R Seethala. University of Pittsburgh, PA
Background: Odontogenic tumors may occasionally prove difficult to distinguish from salivary gland tumors in the oral cavity, particularly those with basaloid morphology. We evaluate the potential utility of LEF-1, a nuclear transcription factor involved in tooth and hair follicle development, in distinguishing between these tumors.
Design: Immunohistochemical staining for LEF-1 (sc-8591, 1:200 dilution; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA) was performed on paraffin sections from 23 basaloid salivary gland carcinomas (16 basal cell adenocarcinomas (BCAC), 7 adenoid cystic carcinomas (ACC) ), and 25 odontogenic tumors (13 ameloblastomas, 5 calcifying cystic odontogenic tumors, 3 adenomatoid odontogenic tumors, 2 calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumors, 1 ameloblastic carcinoma, and 1 squamous odontogenic tumor). Hair follicle bulb was used as a positive control.
Nuclear staining intensity (grades 0-3) and percentage of positive cells were recorded. A value between 1 and 4 was assigned for the percentage of positive cells (1 for 0-25%, 2 for 26-50%, 3 for 51-75% and 4 for 76 to 100%). The product of intensity and positive cells was calculated for a composite score (range: 0-12). Positivity was defined as at least 2+ intensity in >50% of tumor cells which required a composite score of >6.
Results: LEF-1 was positive in 80% (4/5) calcifying cystic odontogenic tumors, 15% (2/13) of ameloblastomas, and 33% (1/3) of adenomatoid odontogenic tumors. The calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumors, ameloblastic carcinoma, and squamous odontogenic tumor were negative.
Strong and diffuse LEF-1 expression was seen in 69% (11/16) of BCACs, which was significantly more frequent that in ACCs, which were only positive in 14% (1/7) of cases (Fisher exact, 2-tail p = 0.027). No LEF-1 staining was seen in any components of normal salivary gland parenchyma. LEF-1 expression was greatest in the peripheral basal layer of BCACs. 100% (4/4) of tubulotrabecular and (1/1) cribriform patterned BCACs stained for LEF-1; whereas, 67% (4/6) of solid and 40% (2/5) of membranous patterned expressed LEF-1.
Conclusions: We document for the first time the presence of LEF-1 expression in select basaloid salivary gland carcinomas. This finding combined with the low frequency of immunoexpression in most of the tested odontogenic tumors argues against its utility in distinguishing salivary gland tumors from odontogenic tumors. However, it appears that BCACs frequently express LEF-1 suggesting that these are truly 'dermal analogue tumors' phenotypically. This strong expression may have utility in distinguishing these tumors from ACC.

Hello Everyone!
I started my first garden, in the wasteland of Las Vegas, about two months ago (most of my plants were either planted or transplanted the last week of March). Anyways, I've noticed some of my plants, most notably my pepper plants (I have a green bell and jalapeno) have a white powdery substance on the stems. I know there is a white powdery mildew, but everything I looked said it shows up on the leaves and I only have it on the stems. Any ideas what this might be?
Things are just barely growing in my box. My early corn just went to pollenate and I only have one small ear of corn out of four plants! I have a drip system watering an hour a day. I also started applying Neptune's Harvest Fish/Seaweed Fertilizer, but it's only a 2-3-1. I'm not sure if I am doing something wrong or if I just got started late and it's very hot already in Vegas :) Here is a picture of my whole box if anyone is interested:

In that first picture it almost looks like those might be eggs of some kind? I had a few plants that got powdery mildew and they did not look like that. Sorry... not much help - this is my first year too, but like I said, that's not what my powdery mildew looked like. How much sun do those plants get? I know that lots of things say full sun... and I've never lived in Las Vegas, but I know here in Florida, even the plants that say full sun don't like the full sun here in the summer. That is to say, really hot, desert, afternoon sun is pretty harsh on little plants. Just something to think about. I also think that when I started my garden, I was over-watering... partly because of how hot it was. But I learned that the Mel's Mix really does hold moisture well. I check daily, by sticking my finger an inch into the dirt to see how moist it is and water if they need it. So maybe there's a little over-watering? But maybe not. Like I said, I'm definitely not an expert. Good luck, though. I'm sure everyone else around here will have some useful ideas. |
It is NOT powdery mildew. Ask me how I know...I've suffered with it on rose plants for years b/c I haven't yet found the magic organic approach that will work in the mostly foggy climate of the San Francisco Bay Area. I would take a well-focused photograph of this plant to a local, independent nursery/garden supply store and ask them what it is and how you can organically deal with it. After all, you plan to eat these veggies! I agree with sarahs eden that it appears to be eggs, but I'm completely unfamiliar with gardening in Las Vegas and don't know what kind of insects/critters attack plants in your neighborhood. And, yes, some shade might be a relief to your plants. Mel has some ideas about that in the book, since he deals with Utah desert and started out with SFG in Florida (I think). Cynthia |
They're some type of white furry mites. Just spray with soapy water and they'll be gone. I had some this spring and a good soak with soapy water did the trick. Will |

Darn that stuff! I've been lurking on GW for over a year, and I've just stumbled on this post which has compelled me to register. Vegas4x4, you are not alone. I think the white fuzzy dots are endemic here in Las Vegas, as they randomly pop up on the stems of all my plants. They don't seem to do permanent damage, and are rubbed off easily with a fingertip. I don't think they're eggs, as they're not gooey or anything, and don't really have much substance. Here's hoping we find out what they are eventually! |

David Ortiz has hit the ball incredibly well since returning to the Red Sox lineup. On top of his strong play, he also cemented his place in local lore during the emotionally charged return to baseball after the Patriots Day bomb incident.
David Oritz was hitting the ball well but hadn't yet hit a home run in 2013. Then the Astros came to town. Now David Ortiz has a home run in 2013! It's really that simple.

Primarily in Florida, Cuban tile was used for flooring, fireplace hearths, patios, bathrooms and anywhere you would use tile.
My fireplace hearth was painted with 2-inches (no joke) of dirty white paint. I stripped it off figuring whatever was under the layers couldn't be worse. It turned out to be a beautiful burgundy-brown cuban tile with a gold swirl pattern. It's very diffent and attractive. Cuban tiles are not terra-cotta, etc. They are cement tile or what is known as Encaustic Cement Tile or Hydraulic Mosaic Tilecellin tile. They are cement based with glazed patterns. The problem is when I removed all the paint (with paint stripper...yeah, you see where this is going?...), it left the tile very "dull". I did this years ago before researching stuff first before diving into a project. There is some residue shine left in spots close to the fireplace. I 'think' it may be shellac...but am not sure. So, my questions are....does anyone know what cuban tile was coated with to shine it and protect it -- that also won't become flamable if there is a spark from the fireplace? I have several tile products (liquids...) I have purchased that never worked to improve the look or restore the color and shine. Did they shellac the hearths back in the day? It seemed they used shellac on practically everything back then. I just purchase Miracle Seal and Enhance from HD. I tried a test area. It may take several coats to do anything, but so far, it's not impressing me. I have called local tile companies and you would think I was the only one with Cuban tile in Florida. No one can give me any answers. Hoping for some help here. I'm tired of looking at this dull, dingy hearth that probably was gorgeous in 1920. Thanks for your time! |

Regular American and English encaustic tiles are unglazed (floor tile). I think you could coat them with clear acrylic varnish if you wanted a sheen. It won't yellow, but then the heat will play heck on it. Casey |
Thanks so muhc for the reply. The Cuban tiles actually were glazed with something - sometimes bees wax - but, to your point, I want to be careful due to the heat factor as to what I use. Any other ideas? I have one neighbor who used Boiled Linseed Oil...but, I'm not sure if that is flamable once it has dried. I don't want to take the chance of catching my house on fire for shiny tile. |

So called oil-based varnishes are flammable because they use mineral spirits as the solvent base or vehicle but I'm not sure if they are flammable after drying but they are probably not since they are essentially dried vegatable oils with polymers added for hardness. Most water-borne polyurethane finishes are non-flammable even before they dry but because they are low in solids they sometimes require multiple coats. If a hearth is normally exposed to high heat there is something wrong with the design of the fireplace. To keep embers from damaging the surface of the tiles use a well designed screen, good fire tools, and don't open the screen all the way when tending the fire. |

There is a Cuban tile maker in Ybor city that has been there for generations it is on 7th ave you can see the address tiles on display in front but they can give you plenty of history there. (they are probably the ones that made your tiles) |
Thanks so much for the info everyone. Justme_today: thank you! I didn't realize there was a place in Ybor that still made Cuban tiles. I'll definetly try to track them down. |

Medical marijuana dispensary review: Back to the Garden in Denver
Back to the Garden is in a cool spot on South Broadway, well north of the epicenter but still situated in the funky confines of Antique Row. Unfortunately, someone has apparently had their back to the garden instead of being back in the garden.
Back to the Garden1755 South Broadway
Denver, CO 80210
720-583-2119Hours: 10 a.m. to 6:45 p.m. seven days a week.
Marijuana prices for members: $25 for 3.5 grams, $160 ounces. Taxes not included
Marijuana prices for non-members: $30-$35 for 3.5 grams, $175 ounces. Taxes not included.
Online menu?: Yes. http://legalmarijuanadispensary.com/dispensaries/colorado/glendalewa-park-west-dispensaries/6128
Handicap-accessible?: Yes.
The storefront is in an old strip center on South Broadway, and it's among the smallest shops I've visited. The entryway/lobby/reception desk area has just enough room for three or four people, and that's assuming you've all become comfortable enough to sit hip to hip on the antique-style fainting couch across from the reception window.
The place is clean and simple. Decorations are minimal in the gray-and-white waiting room, limited to a few mass-produced Italian wine posters that college girls buy at Target and put up in their first apartment. But whatever: Traffic on South Broadway is infinitely more interesting to watch, and the entire storefront affords that view from inside.
A board with pricing on it was well placed near the receptionist desk, so I got a good look at what the center had to offer while I waited for the budtender to copy my ID, red card and paperwork that I was asked to fill out. Members get their first eighth for $10.99 plus tax. Otherwise, non-members are capped at $35 for an eighth and $175 for an ounce. After watching cars on Broadway zoom past while people in front of me took care of their business, I was let in through the security door to the bud bar.
Back to the Garden had the same problem I encountered recently at Buds4You: The smell of sweet, sweet cannabis was overpowered by some fruity air freshener -- or that's what I thought. It just as easily could have been that the budtender was wearing way too much perfume that day. Either way, it reminded me of being back in high school, when girls smoked cigarettes off campus at lunch but thought nobody could tell because they doused themselves in body spray and hand lotion before they made it back for last period.Back to the Garden's Chemdawg.
Same here. Not that I'd want the place to smell bad, but if your customers can't handle the aroma of herb, they probably shouldn't be using it as medicine. And either way, it was hard to get past the scent of Herbal Essence or whatever it was floating around the shop and actually get into the smells from the jars.
Of course, that was also partly due to the bland odors emanating from the leafy buds inside.
Buds are kept in Mason jars in one of two glass counters. Sample jars with individual nuggets are set on top of the counter for easy patient access. I really dig this setup, because it lets patients pick and choose without feeling like they are overwhelming a budtender. To the left of that counter is another, smaller glass display with edibles, pipes and topical lotions.

The Obituary
Ben Benson's, New York, 1982–2012
Ben Benson's steakhouse wasn't the first place I unintentionally got drunk during lunch at the bar, but it was the best place to unintentionally get drunk during lunch at the bar, and now it doesn't exist anymore. My friend Craig would call me up, always spontaneously, and tell me he was at Ben's and, well, what was I supposed to do? He always had the same corner of the bar; he was always drinking Absolut and tonics; he was always funny and smart; the food was always exactly what it was intended to be (Mariani called it "the best American food in the U. S. of A." in this very magazine); the bartenders came to know and tolerate me; and, importantly, it was just about the last major steakhouse that wasn't part of a chain. There was one Ben's and only one.
So in part, I'll remember and mourn it for that. But the other part is that when the world became too much with me and I needed somewhere to escape for an hour, I'd make the ten-minute walk to Ben's and the bartender would bring me my usual: chopped steak, medium-well, with a side of house-made potato chips. Once it arrived, I'd pour a sizable pool of Ben's steak sauce on the plate and dig in. It was charred. My friend Tom would get the barley soup on the occasions I let him join me. I don't think Tom knows that Ben's is no more. He's gonna be sad.
Fk. It was good. Now it's gone. —David Granger

The Founder and CEO of Zeenoh Games Jhondie Tito Abenaza (JTA) was chosen by the Game Developers Association of the Philippines (GDAP) to represent the game development industry of the country in the creation of the council for Product Development and Design Center of the Philippines (PDDCP.)

2015 Mid-Winter Meeting Conference Attendees
Hosted at Norfolk State University
Message from the PresidentAs we embark upon the 75th Anniversary in 2015 of our great bar association, I am more than humbled, pleased and honored to serve as the President. Many activities are planned for this year in our efforts to increase our visibility in the legal community. The ODBA has a legacy of pursuing justice and engaging lawyers and law students to do the same. We have two new signature programs this year that I am pleased to announce. Our first program is aimed at increasing our visibility with law students. As such, we will host an "ODBA Awareness and Awards Reception" at a minimum of four Virginia law schools before June 30, 2015. ODBA members will host a reception at the law school and introduce law students to the benefits of membership in ODBA as a law student and as an attorney. Those in attendance will be entered into a drawing where the winner will receive a $250.00 book scholarship that night. Our second program is aimed at increasing our membership of attorneys by presenting the ODBA as a bar organization to join at the First Day of Practice Seminar sponsored by the Virginia State Bar. As a part of our "New Members of VSB Awareness Program," ODBA materials will be displayed at this seminar and our members will be present to discuss the history of and membership in the ODBA with Virginia's newest practicing attorneys. Celebrating Our Founders, Our Fortitude and Our Future is our theme for our 75th Anniversary Annual Meeting and Conference. You are invited to this event, in addition to our Mid-Year Conference that will be held the first part of 2015. I remain committed to serving the ODBA and ensuring its efforts to provide premiere conferences with exceptional speakers and CLEs, co-sponsoring events with other stellar organizations in this Commonwealth that have like desires to pursue justice for all people and increasing our funding of programs that assist law students and communities in need of our services. With the warmest regards, I am Helivi L. Holland, Esq. | About ODBASpawned from the need to confront a policy that offended personal and professional dignity, from the need for African-American lawyers to associate for personal and professional growth, and from a need to encourage African-American lawyers to participate in the Virginia State Bar, the ODBA grew into an organization that filled not only those particular needs but one that also has provided continuity of leadership and support with respect to the various concerns of particular interest to African Americans and other people of color. For example, over the past thirty years, ODBA members diligently, and successfully, worked to ensure the appointment of African-American lawyers to judgeships around the state.

U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree, a Gift from the People, Headed Toward Washington, D.C.
More than 300 people gathered on in 25-degree weather to witness the harvesting of the 88-foot 2013 Capitol Christmas Tree from the Colville National Forest, the first step in its 5,000 mile journey from Washington State to the U. S. Capitol in Washington, D.C.
More than a dozen spotters and equipment operators manipulated the tree into position as the Mack Truck pushed the trailer underneath. The enormity of the Engelmann spruce became apparent as the tree floated above the trailer while a few extra feet from the trunk had to be removed.
Every December, the Speaker of the House hosts a lighting ceremony on the U.S. Capitol grounds. With a simple flip of a switch roughly 10,000 lights bring the tree to life. But first it has to make the journey. Read more »

"All the child does is sit in the corner and draw. She doesn't talk to the other children," Ms. Wahn said, sniffing as she shuffled her papers around and crossed her legs. "We have a guidance counselor. I'm sure you two can swing by anytime you'd like," she added, pushing the bridge of her glasses up her nose.
"Hi. What's your name?"
I looked up from Harry Potter.
"Hi, I'm Myra. Whatcha reading?"
Slightly annoyed, I looked up, yet again, and closed the book. "Harry Potter."
"Oh. Cool."
I could tell she didn't know what I was talking about.
"I like Nancy Drew."
My eyes brightened. "Me, too!" I liked all books back then.
"Mysteries are fun."
"Yeah. Harry Potter's kind of a mystery."
She examined the school's copy, slightly worn with years of use. "It's kinda thick."
I took it back from her. "It's not that bad."
"Oh. Okay."
We sat in silence for a while, not knowing what to say. I smiled awkwardly and eyed the book, wishing I could get back to it.
"You can keep reading and stuff if you want," she finally said.
"Okay," I said, relieved. "See you later." I picked up the book, flipped back to the page I had dog-eared, and waved.
Smiling politely, she left the table and headed to the next one, her wispy, platinum blond ponytail swinging behind her as she sat down and introduced herself to another of my classmates.
We ended up becoming best friends. That year, I had my first sleepover at her house, where we gossiped about our teachers and classmates. She liked to lie, probably for the attention. I could always tell whenever she was making something up, but I listened to her anyway and went along with her stories. Gradually, I pushed myself away from Myra. Finally, in fifth grade, I heard that she'd started to talk behind my back. I was too timid to approach her about it, but our friendship was never quite the same after that. I still haven't seen her in two years.
I used to think of my SM as a burden. Of course, I'm not always glad to have SM, but it's taught me to value friendship and family even more than I normally would. And that's what keeps me going.
