The Mustang was redesigned for 2005 and got rave reviews for its looks, totally capturing the old Mustang but still looking contemporary.The styling tweaks since then have made it even better, and that holds true for the 2013 Mustang.
A black eggcrate grille opens wide over the bumper, with a clean and full chin, fascia, and air intakes, and just a tidy flat-black horizontal spoiler at the lip.The triangular rear window masterfully evokes the roofline of original '65 Mustang, replacing its fake louvers with glass.
We're less enthusiastic about the interior of the 2013 Mustang.Reviews all end up saying that the materials are okay considering the price of the car, remember it's only a Mustang, and we can't argue.The steering wheel lacks imagination, and that's disappointing.
However the cloth seats are great; cloth can easily be a deal-breaker, and in the Mustang it's not.In fact, the cloth seats fit better than the leather, maybe because they grip better.The optional Recaro seats in either cloth or leather are excellent.There's good head and leg room up front, and visibility through the windshield is good, especially for a low-slung coupe.There's considerably more room and better visibility in the Mustang than in the Chevrolet Camaro.
Naturally, the two-passenger rear seat is no place for adults.Rear-seat headroom is limited by the rake of the coupe roof, and leg room is minimal, even with the front seats moved forward.That comes with the territory of such a car and its shape and is a small price to be paid for such proportions.
The retro instrument panel in the V6 and GT models clings too hard to the theme, we think.Having retro instrumentation on a car with modern performance like the Mustang is like having a telephone with a cord.The optional Shaker audio system is acoustically superb.Ford's SYNC system works well to choose music, but we had trouble operating it with voice commands.
The Mustang convertible has a power fabric top and glass rear window.Trunk space in the convertible is reduced to 9.6 cubic feet, from 13.4 cubic feet in the coupe.The coupe has standard 50/50 fold-down rear seats that vastly expand the cargo space, by opening the trunk all the way to the front seatbacks.
The V6 makes 305 horsepower, more than V8 muscle cars, and it does not sound like your father's V6.It's a fairly high-revving engine, reaching its horsepower peak at 6500 rpm and its torque peak at 4250 rpm, so it's good to play with.The manual transmission is the way to go if you like to play, because it's so good.And the manual comes with Hill Start Assist, so no worries about coasting backward when starting off on a steep hill.The automatic, meanwhile, does have a manual-shift feature it's awkward to use.
The Mustang V6 is EPA-rated at 19/31 miles per gallon City/Highway.However, we didn't get anywhere near that, running it hard on twisty two-lanes.
Mustang GT has a smooth, rumbling and growling 5.0-liter V8 engine.And with 420 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque, it snaps your neck on the way to a quarter-mile time of about 13 seconds flat.That's quicker than the Chevrolet Camaro SS, even with its huge 6.2-liter engine and 426 horsepower.But the Mustang is 230 pounds lighter, and that makes a big difference in acceleration, also handling.
The Boss 302 makes 444 horsepower with the same engine.But if you order the Track Package and Recaro Package on the GT, you can get most of the Boss for much less of the money.However the Boss has non-retro instrumentation, that's way cleaner.And it's a Boss 302.
Brakes are good.Ford engineers have revised the braking system of the Flex, Taurus, and Mustang, and the feel is powerful without being overly sensitive.And with the Boss 302 and Shelby GT 500, when you increase the size of the front rotors to 14 inches and add four-piston and six-piston calipers by the Italian company Brembo, you've got the best stopping power money can buy.
The chassis and electronic power steering is adjustable to Comfort, Standard or Sport.The names of the modes are apt.Comfort mode kept the ride comfortable when driving over rough pavement, Sport mode improved responsiveness on winding roads.We found the electronic stability control effective without being intrusive.
The 650-horsepower Shelby GT 500 joins the 2013 Mustang lineup.You read that right, 650 horsepower.
Mustang V6 models use Ford's 3.7-liter engine making 305 horsepower, and a 6-speed manual transmission standard, with 6-speed SelectShift automatic optional.Also standard are a 2.73 rear axle ratio, 17-inch aluminum wheels, electronic power steering, stainless steel dual exhaust, HID headlamps, LED taillamps, capless fuel filler, manual air conditioning, tilt steering wheel with controls, cloth seats, and 50/50 rear folding seats (not convertible).
The V6 Performance Package includes a strut-tower brace, larger front sway bar and SVT rear sway bar, stiffer front springs, upgraded brake calipers with performance pad, 19-inch painted aluminum wheels, 255/40R19 summer-only tires, higher stability control calibration, black side mirrors, 3.31 rear axle, and unique engine cover (manual transmission only).There's also an Equipment Package ($295) and Tech Package ($1295).For the Premium models, there's a Comfort Package and Electronics Package.
Mustang GT models use a 5.0-liter V8 making 420 horsepower and 390 foot-pounds of torque, with the same transmission selection, 3.73 rear axle, and 18-inch aluminum wheels.Equipment and options closely match the V6 packages.The Premiums have reclining front bucket seats, a Shaker audio system, and ambient lighting.
Boss 302 uses a pumped-up version of that V8, with 444 hp and 380 foot-pounds, and 19-inch aluminum wheels.Also Brembo front brakes with four-piston calipers on 14-inch rotors, adjustable shocks, 3.51 rear axle ratio, four-gauge cluster, suede wrapped steering wheel, dark aluminum instrument panel, unique Boss cloth seats, side and rear exit exhaust system, rear spoiler, classic Boss 302 striping, grille, front splitter and engine cover.Recaro cloth is optional, as is a Laguna Seca track package ($6995).
Shelby GT 500 coupe and Convertible mean business with a 650-horsepower and 600-foot-pounds 5.8-liter supercharged intercooled V8, mated to a Tremec 6-speed manual transmission, with 6-piston Brembo calipers on 14-inch front rotors.Bilstein electronic adjustable dampers, 3.31 rear axle ratio, Torsen differential, black-vented aluminum hood, GT 500 striping, and Shelby Cobra front fascia, splitter, and spoiler.Also creature comforts such as leather seats, ambient lighting, LCD message center, suede steering wheel, satellite radio.With the SVT Performance Package ($3495), a Shelby GT 500 is capable of, gulp, 200 miles per hour.Extra oil coolers, aerodynamics, and 20-inch wheels.
Safety equipment on all Mustangs includes front and front side airbags, stability control, anti-lock brakes, tire pressure monitor, and Ford's MyKey system, which allows car owners (parents) to limit the speed and sound system volume, when they hand the keys over to others (teenagers).
For 2013, Mustang gets another facelift, with a stronger and cleaner grille and front fascia, incorporating the air intakes and doing away with all the flat-black plastic from before.New HID projector-beam headlamps have two LED streaks at their sides, a look that will take getting used to.
The sequential LED taillamps are another matter, instantly pretty on the nice rear end that's true to '65 Mustang.At the rear, there's new body-colored fascia on the 2013 Mustang, again replacing flat black pieces (good riddance).Another improvement for 2013 is the loss of the flat-black rockers; they're now body-colored and grownup.And there are many new wheel designs for 2013.
Overall, the 2013 Mustang looks tougher and more Mustangy than ever.The combination of open-mouthed grille and bulging hood gives the 2013 Mustang muscular distinction.The GT boasts real black vents, in the bulging hood over its beefy 5.0-liter V8.The chrome Mustang galloping horse logo against the black eggcrate grille, on the base V6 model, also looks hot, and traditional.The foglamps go inside the grille like bookends on the silver horse, also just like 1965.
The sideview mirrors do something cool: when the unlock button on the remote is pressed, an image of a galloping horse in white LED light appears on the ground like a spotlight on a stage.
The small triangular rear window is a stroke of design brilliance, and makes the roofline sleek.It's wonderfully and totally true to the 1965 Mustang fastback, which used vertical fake louvers in that triangular roofline sweep.
The twin wide stripes on the 2013 Shelby GT that's coming in summer of 2012 are classic.Some of the other graphics packages are dubious.But you could for example get a V6 and add Shelby wide stripes.Casual glances won't know it's not a V8 under the hood.And not when you accelerate away, either.
There are two new colors for 2013: Deep Impact Blue and Gotta Have It Green, which is kind of mellow in a loud green kind of way.Our favorite color is still Grabber Blue, which on another continent would be French Racing Blue.And then there's black, and Mustangs always look GREAT in solid black, it's one of the many reasons it's easy to buy one.Ford makes it easy to stand out in style with a Mustang.
There are many styles of wheels mated to the 11 different models.Some are lovely, some we're not crazy about.We will say that the 18-inch painted aluminum wheels that were on the Mustang GT Premium we drove were gorgeous.
The trim and soft plastic on the dash are appealing, especially in faux aluminum, though there are some hard plastic bits, namely in the doors, and flimsy plastic hinges on things.The overall shape of the dash is undramatic, but the dash layout and switch panels are uncomplicated and effective.Most controls are big buttons, although climate and radio are big knobs.Premium and up models have standard ambient lighting in five selectable colors.
We think retro instrumentation has worn off.We don't really care to be reminded of the 1970s every time we look at the speedometer or tachometer, and that's what you get with the V6 and GT.On the Boss and Shelby, the numbers on the gauges aren't retro, and they're way more pleasing.We like how Ford pulls off the exterior retro style, but instruments are another matter.You don't just look at them, you use them.Retro-looks good, retro function bad.
On the base Mustang V6, you get a small fuel and temp gauge, inserted into the speedo.There's also what Ford calls a four-gauge cluster, which is digital information in a box between the retro speedo and tach.But it's distracting to have to click arrows on the steering wheel to read the numbers called a gauge.
On some models the 4.2-inch LCD screen between the tach and speedo provides more vehicle information, accessed by using that five-way button on the steering wheel.It displays not only basic information, but test-pilot things like air/fuel mixture and cylinder head temperature.It features Track Apps, which displays g-forces, shows acceleration times in quarter-mile and 0-60 increments, and reveals braking times.It also does automatic and countdown starts.It's a toy, not a need, nor is it much use for most drivers.
The cloth bucket seats that come standard are terrific.They hug the body with material that's rugged.The leather seats on the Premium models don't seem to be shapely enough or have enough bolstering for the Mustang expectation.However, the optional Recaro seats available for on all models in cloth or suede are so great that we'd say they're a good investment, if not necessity.
For a rumbling V8, the Mustang GT is quiet inside, and the V6 is even quieter.So the Shaker Pro audio system can blow your head off.Like Ford says, a complete acoustic experience that simulates being at a live performance.There are two Shaker sound systems; in the Mustang GT Premium it's eight speakers and six channels, while the Shaker Pro with nine speakers was found to be so loud during testing that extra sound-absorption material was added to the Mustang.
Ford's problematic MyFordTouch is missing but not missed in the Mustang.However there is SYNC with voice command, which works well to choose music.Voice-activated navigation is available on upper models.
Drivers of all sizes should be able to find a comfortable seating position.The steering wheel tilts, although it doesn't telescope, and we wish it would.There's good head and leg room up front, and visibility through the windshield is good, especially for a low-slung coupe.There's considerably more room and better visibility than in the Camaro.
Naturally, the two-passenger rear seat is no place for adults.Rear headroom is limited by the rake of the coupe roof, and leg room is minimal, even with the front seats moved forward.That's nothing new.It comes with the territory of such a car and its shape.Small price to be paid for such proportions.
The side mirrors have convex blind-spot panels in their top outer corner, a rearward visibility solution that we like at least as much as electronic blind spot lights and beepers with all their false alarms.The coupe's rear pillars don't block over-the-shoulder visibility, but it's hard to see out the back in the convertible with the top up.The optional back-up camera and reverse sensing system help.The Mustang has a lower beltline than the Camaro, allowing better visibility to the sides.The advantage became especially apparent when we compared a Mustang and a Camaro on an autocross course.We could easily see the cones from inside the Mustang, but not from inside the Camaro.
The Mustang convertible comes uses a power fabric top and glass rear window.The top is released with two slick latches within the driver's reach.The top and frame drop behind the rear seats.The vinyl tonneau cover must be installed manually, and costs an additional $160.The convertible top's storage space also reduces trunk volume nearly one-third.The Mustang coupe's trunk has 13.4 cubic feet of cargo space, which is comparable to that in a compact-to-mid-size sedan.The opening isn't particularly big and the lift-over is high, but the coupe's 50/50 fold-down rear seats expand cargo volume substantially.
The Mustang V6 is EPA-rated at 19/31 miles per gallon City/Highway, but we didn't get anywhere near that, running it hard on twisty two-lanes.With 305 horsepower, it's more powerful than the V8 of just a few years ago.It's called TI-VCT, for Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing, a system that precisely times the valve openings to increase power, throttle response and fuel mileage, while reducing emissions.
The V6 is fairly high-revving, reaching its horsepower peak at 6500 rpm, while its 280 foot-pounds of torque peak at 4250 rpm, so it's good to play with.The V6 will get you down the road as fast as a driver needs to go, 0 to 60 in the low 5-second range.
Almost as good, there's a new exhaust system that makes it sound like more like a V8.The V8 rumble isn't quite there, but the wimpy whine of a V6 isn't there either.If the V6 is as fast as a driver needs to go, it's not necessarily as fast he or she wants to go.
The Mustang GT with its 5.0-liter engine making 420 horsepower and 390 foot-pounds of torque will do 0 to 60 in the mid 4-second range.But we don't want to quantify the kick-ass acceleration of the Mustang models with numbers.We've got fast (V6), faster (V8 GT), faster-plus (Boss 302), and scary fast (Shelby GT 500).
The Mustang GT, with its smooth, rumbling and growling engine, feels more like an old-school Mustang.And with 420 horsepower and 390 foot-pounds of torque, it snaps your neck right quickly, on the way to a quarter-mile time of about 13 seconds flat.That makes it a couple tenths quicker than the Chevrolet Camaro SS, even with Chevy's big 6.2-liter engine and 426 horsepower.But the Mustang is 230 pounds lighter, and that makes a big difference in acceleration.
Now try 444 horsepower in the Boss 302.But you don't need to.In fact, you can get the Track Package and Recaro Package on the GT, and end up with most of the Boss for a much lower price.Do the math, and it's 95 percent of the horsepower.What you don't get, is the grown-up non-retro instrumentation with the Boss.
We give both the 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic transmissions the highest marks, but we especially love the manual.It's tight, has a short throw, delivers secure shifts every time, is easy to heel-and-toe, and it's totally tolerant of aggressive downshifts.You'll love shifting this Mustang so we say go for the manual and stay true.The manual comes with Hill Start Assist, which makes choosing it easier.No worries about rolling back when starting off on a steep incline.
And we love and appreciate the pure programming for the 6-speed SelectShift manual automatic.We highly praise Mustang engineers for recognizing that sporty drivers do not like to have their wishes ignored by their manual automatic transmission, nor do they like being told what to do by their manual automatic transmission.The SelectShift is literal; it shifts into the gear you select.It won't downshift in a curve on you, or upshift before you want it to.
However, we hate the ergonomics of the SelectShift.Shifts are made with a button on the lever that's much too hard to reach.Up or down, you shift gears with your right thumb, using one small button on the left side of the shift lever.Your thumb has to find the right spot on the button each time, often quickly, when your hand really needs to be on the steering wheel.But even if your thumb lands on the right spot, your elbow has to be raised and your wrist cocked, to better orient your thumb joint.If only the SelectShift simply worked lever-forward and lever-back, like others, it would be acceptable, although paddles would be even better.This one is a deal breaker.The Camaro has paddle shifters, and the Dodge Challenger shifts by moving the lever from side-to-side, as it has since 1996, when Dodge invented manual-automatic shifting in the Stratus sedan.
Brakes are good.Ford engineers have revised the braking system of the Flex, Taurus, and Mustang, and the feel is powerful without being overly sensitive, for all of them.And with the Boss and Shelby, when you increase the size of the front rotors to 14 inches and add four-piston and six-piston calipers by the Italian company Brembo, you've got the best.
As for ride quality, the chassis on both the V6 and GT is adjustable to Comfort, Standard or Sport, and that pretty much takes care of it.The electronic power steering gets adjusted in the bargain.We ran it in Comfort over patchy two-lanes and in the city, and it was comfortable; we ran it in Sport when we picked up the pace on two-lanes, and were pleased with its steady responsiveness, even on wet corners.There was one IndyCar driver there with the journalists, and in his review he trashed the handling as either pushing at the front wheels or loose at the rear wheels, sometimes both in the same corner; we don't doubt him one bit, but we wonder how hard you have to drive the car to feel that.He added, by the way, that for a car of the Mustang's price, the power and handling were exceptional.And that's what we'll say.
Another thing we liked was the programming of the stability control.It was effective, without being intrusive at any time.We threw the tail out on purpose, a number of times, and hammered the throttle expecting the tires to spin on the wet road, but the gas was not taken away from the driver, just invisibly modulated.Great job, Ford.
Sam Moses filed this NewCarTestDrive.com report after his test drives of the Mustang models along the Oregon coast.

Taken with a grain of salt. You were singing its praises before the film even came out. Going in with such blindedly-high hopes (yes, I made up that word) and a "Disney-can-do-no-wrong" attitude certainly was going to make this one a winner in your eyes. Saying "best film in 11 years" isn't really saying much, considering Disney's poor showing in the theaters over the past decade. For me, it's certainly not a film that's going to get me to race out to the theaters on opening night to see it. And now with MegaMind having flopped in the theaters, and Harry Potter geared towards an older children, they don't have any competition at the box office for this movie.
Glad you enjoyed it, though. At least Disney was able to live up to your expectations, which lately they haven't been able to do. I'm still filing this one away with "Despicable Me." I went in there really really hoping that it was absolutely hilarious. The film failed me miserably.

Does anyone know of a large scale (at least 10" on one side) solid matte tile, similar to the Daltile "biscuit" or "almond" Preferably under $3 a square foot? This is for a leaky shower remodel. Also, if I am gutting a shower to redo the tile, is it a big deal to replace the shower fixtures? My shower has a hand held fixture as well as multiple sprays . Thanks for your help! |

BUTTE - An Irish exhibition showing the Irish in Montana is recently returned from display in Ireland.
The exhibit is on display at the Butte-Silver Bow Public Archives. The archives developed the exhibit last spring, according the Ellen Crain, director of the Butte-Silver Bow Public Archives.
The exhibit was on display in Ireland at the University of College Cork Library. The exhibit explores the emigrant journey from Ireland and their lives in Montana. The exhibit includes images and pieces that people across Montana have shared.
Representatives from the archives took the exhibit to Ireland this summer. Nearly 250 people approached them saying they had a direct connection to Butte from The Emerald Isle.
"There are times that I have felt that the whole world has sort of emerged from Butte or has some sort of link to Butte and it was confirmed when we were putting this together," Crain said.
An open house will be held Thursday at the archives from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Deeb inaugurated as Trocaire Colleges sixth president
BY: Community Papers of WNY Staff | November 15, 2012
SOUTH BUFFALO - Dr. Bassam M. Deeb was inaugurated as the president of Trocaire College, recently. Deeb is the sixth president since the Catholic college was founded in 1958 and the second lay president to serve.
Deeb began his career at Trocaire on July 9 after serving as vice president for student services and interim vice president for academic affairs at Niagara County Community College.
Delegates from higher educational institutions, attired in academic regalia, marched in a procession with other distinguished guests including members of Trocaire's faculty, administration, alumni, students and representatives from the community.
Former Trocaire College president, Dr. Paul B. Hurley, Jr. (1998-2012) participated in the ceremony. The invocation was given by The Most Rev. Richard J. Malone, D.D., Bishop of Buffalo. The benediction was given by Msgr. Bakhos Chidiac, Pastor, Our Lady of Lebanon Maronite Catholic Church, Wheeling, West Virginia.
Greetings were offered by Dr. Marian Meyers on behalf of the college community; Alexandria Mann on behalf of the students; Henry Mumme, Jr., '01on behalf of Trocaire alumni; Mary Ann Deb on behalf of the faculty; Lisa M. Kirisits on behalf of the board of trustees; Congressman Brian M. Higgins on behalf of the WNY community; and Mercyhurst President Dr. Thomas J. Gamble on behalf of the higher education community.
The presidential medallion was bestowed to Deeb by Lisa M. Kirisits, chair of the Board of Trustees. Sister JoAnne Courneen, RSM, President, Sisters of Mercy of the Americas, New York, Pennsylvania, Pacific West community, gave the Congregational Prayer of Investiture.
Deeb's inaugural address was a celebration of Trocaire's history and a glimpse of his vision for its future. In his remarks he recognized that the college has adhered to the core mission of the Sisters of Mercy.
"What sets Trocaire apart from others is the fact that we are about giving people a chance, that they many not otherwise get, to attend a small college with a supportive and nurturing environment; a college that focuses on each person's needs and skills and gives them the tools they need to enter the world of work and lead successful lives."
Pointing to the future, Dr. Deeb told the audience, "The time is ripe for us together to lead Trocaire into the future – a future based on a shared vision, a commitment to transparency and involvement at all levels, a qualitative and quantitative review of critical and strategic issues, and a direct and decisive decision-making process that recognizes our identity, mission, and commitment to serve our community."
Following the inauguration, a celebratory reception was held in the Mercy Center Dining Room.

Hi all,
This is my strawberry tower:
This is my first year planting them. I have pinched all the flowers and cut off all the funner so the energy can go to the plant itself. They are mix of everbearing and junebearing. I will leave the everbearing to go to fruit in the fall. At the mean time, what should I do with the plant? the leaves are getting larger and seems create some shade to the neighbour plant. Should I let those big leave die down or should I cut them? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Mosesong: When you are growing strawberries in tight space containers like that, there is not much to be gained by removing blossoms. They don't have any room to runner anyway. Might as well enjoy whatever strawberries they might give you. You must be pretty tight for space to be growing strawberries vertically like that. It looks like a good gust of wind could take the whole thing down. For all the trouble you have gone to with your towers, you won't get even close to the production you would by planting the strawberries in the ground, if you have a 10x10 area or so. There is not much point in taking off large, healthy leaves. They are what make food for the plant. Containers like this are always going to be crowded, which is one reason they are not very productive, although they are somewhat decorative, even without much in the way of strawberries. Don Yellman, Great Falls, VA |
Thanks Don, I was told these pots were designed for strawberry planting, and even for commecial space like this: http://www.agrotower.com/commercial.aspx Space is any issue for me, and rotten control is one of the thing I don't want to deal with, by building it up, rabbits can't get to the top. I can also bring the pots in door to the garage when it get extremly cold in the winter. As for tipping over, well, I got that taken care of. I have a metal bar running in the middle all the way into the pot, which is top with gravel. We has 40 mph wind a few weeks ago, it's not going anywhere. How deep does strawberry root get? These pots is pretty deep and 22" diameter, so it actually bigger than it looks. |
mosesong: Well, I hope I am wrong here, and that does happen, but I think you were snookered by the AgroTower people. I went to their website and read all the claims, and it looks like hokum to me. There are a lot of these small companies making things intended to lighten the gardener's wallet. Any other benefits are secondary. Don't expect a big rush by commercial growers to use this expensive technique. My guess is that by the 2nd year, you will be disgusted with these things and throw them out in the trash. I will be very surprised if you ever get much more than cereal garnish from these twin towers. Each pot shades over 70% of the pot below it, and, while berries will produce some when hanging out of a pot, they bear a lot more when the runners are allowed to root. As an experiment, why don't you transplant some of the runners to a patch in the ground next spring of about 10x10 or even larger if you can. Plant Junebearers, not neverbearers. I hope you have kept them separate. I think you will see the difference in the first producing season of the berries in the ground. Don Yellman, Great Falls, VA |
Hi would someone out there helpme I am a new gardenernot knowing what I was doing Iplanted my Stawberries to close I have now taken them upand split them and replanted. will they grow? this is my first time using the forum |
fruitcage: Well, first tell us how close you had them planted initially, and how close they are now. A good spacing for an in-ground planting is about 12-16 inches in the row, with at least 2 1/2 feet between the rows. This spacing allows the plants to runner freely, producing more plants that will greatly increase your production the following season. Did you plant bareroot strawberries, or potted plants? And are you growing in the ground or are you another container grower? Whether your transplants will be successful depends on the stage of growth when you moved the plants, weather conditions, and how skillfully you moved them with minimum root disturbance. If the plants were fully leafed out and actively growing, you may lose a few. But if you managed to move them without removing all the soil from the roots, the new spot is moist, and the weather cool, you may have a high survival rate. Don Yellman, Great Falls, VA |
Don, Thanks for the advise, I will try to move a few plants off the tower to the raise bed garden that I happen to have room for. For the in ground strawberry, how would I over winter them? Let the leave die and mulch thick? Also, I'm getting confuse by the runner rooting you mention. I read somewhere (I think it's one of those Miracle Grow vegetable gardening book) that for every 5 strawberry plants, let one to runner and grow more plants for next years. Cut the runner off the other plants because the runner take energy away form the mother plant. I will grow more Junebearing if I can start over again. When I buy those bareroot, I didn't know the difference, I thought more frequent yield means better because you get more fruits. Well at least have some Junebearing around for this batch. |

CeBIT Open Source Project Lounge -- EGEE
EGEE - Enabling Grids for EsciencE
ByEGEE is among the 15 projects that will present their work at CeBIT. Initiated by the European Union, the project has created a worlwide infrastructure of computing clusters.
In a nutshell - how would you describe your project in a few words?
EGEE has built a worldwide infrastructure of computing clusters in which currently around 150,000 CPU cores in 260 computer centers run over 330,000 programs daily. Almost all systems run under Scientific Linux, their interaction coordinated through gLite open source middleware.
When did the project begin?
The EU project Enabling Grids for E-sciencE (EGEE) began its work May of 2004. It is supported by the various research work of the European Data Grid project that got its start in 2002.
How many active members does the project have?
In development and infrastructure operations, as well as work on the associated grid middleware, more than 9,000 man-months have been invested over the two years of the current project phase. There are 14,000 registered users worldwide.
How did the project come about?
The EGEE initiative emerged out of the recognition that the processing of huge amounts of data from the various scientific research branches requires a distributed, coordinated working and commonly usable computing infrastructure. In this way the experiments at the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva alone produce between 10 and 40 Petabytes of data, which needs to be accessible at any moment by many thousands of researchers who require the applicable computing resources at hand for their repeated operations. The European Union invested significant resources in creating and maintaining the infrastructure and software environment.
What would make a CeBIT visitor interested in your booth?
The EGEE infrastructure is seen today by many as the "real existing" grid. A visit to our booth would provide insight into how this grid functions and the applications that are relevant for such an environment.
Who do you make your software for?
The software is primarily used for scientific research, but is provided free under Apache licensing for any interested party.
Where do you see your biggest current challenge?
It seems necessary for the successful further development of the gLite middleware that a broad user and developer community apart from core users from the scientific realm are involved.
If you were to hire a full-time project developer now, what problem should he or she be ready to solve?
To disseminate the concepts implemented in gLite based on the demands of the established scientific user community.
Under which license is the software currently offered?
Apache License, version 2.0.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Fester!
Facts about Fester
- Breed: Chow Chow Mix
- Color: Black
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Fester's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
This little fluff ball is Fester. He's a little Chow mix so he will be a big boy when he's full grown. Right now he's 9-10 weeks old and was also saved from Port Arthur Animal Control.
Other Pets at BFF Pet Adoptions
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Fester, a Silsbee Chow Chow puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chow Chow for sale in Silsbee, or seeking a Chow Chow puppy from a breeder in Silsbee.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Silsbee 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 Silsbee 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 Chow Chow breeders who help with Chow Chow rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Silsbee paves the way for another one to be saved.

Knowing that we do get lots of vegetarians and vegan in our restaurant, I feel like sharing some of my family home cook recipe that will be quick and easy to make. This is an Ethiopian Vegetarian Potato Porridge Recipe(Dinish Wat) that is easy to make with very minimal condiments. Yesterday my daughter had asked if I can make the same dishes I made for them when we where in Ethiopian last summer. It was a very simple dish and I know it will come very handy to lots of our customers that are looking to make a quick vegetarian meal for their families. I hope you enjoy it.
- 1.) About 1/4 pound of potatoes.
- 2.) 4 -5 fresh plum tomatoes.
- 3.) 1 Large Red onion.
- 4.) Knorr – Beef bouillon (optional)
- 5.) Jamaican curry powder (optional)
- 6.) Black pepper (optional)
- Ingredients:
About 4 – 5 adults.
Peel and cut potatoes to about 1′ size, soak in water to avoid browning while prepping the other ingredients. Cut and dice the red onions and tomatoes to a very small size. Pour about 4-6 ounces of oil in a pan and heat for about 2-3 minutes. Pour the diced red onion in the heated oil and cook to a caramel color (caramelized) or golden brown. Next, pour the diced plum tomatoes into the cooking onions, sprinkle some salt, add about a teaspoon size of Jamaican curry powder and a half-size Knorr bouillon. Cook for about 5 – 8 minutes, test for salt and pour the potatoes in the pot. Pour water to the level of the potatoes and mix very well so that the stew at the bottom all comes to the top and mix very well while stirring, test again for salt then turn the stove to medium and leave to cook for 15 – 20 minutes. Stir every 5-7 minutes while coking. For a little ticker porridge leave for 3-5 more minutes. Enjoy.

There was a nice article in the paper about all the improvements the Hobart Park Department plans to make. At the top of the list? Replace or repair the park benches on the lakefront. They are just terrible. You sit there and you get splinters.
Hobart officials are considering raising the contractors' bond from $5,000 to $10,000. They claim other cities as large as Hobart require this amount. This is untrue. I work in many cities in Lake and Porter, and they all require $5,000.
Crown Point schools expect parents to buy insurance for bullying. Are you insane? That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard.
More than $200 million of taxpayer money has been invested in the Gary/Chicago International Airport to provide jobs, yet, Gary has an unemployment rate of more than 13 percent. Aren't Gary citizens being told about these jobs at the airport? Shouldn't the airport authority set up job interviews in the city?
There is nothing wrong with the railroad tracks at 65th Avenue and Broadway if you go the speed limit instead of 70 mph.

Dave Maddux, the club's manager, is standing at the edge of the 7-Eleven parking lot at 13th Avenue and Pearl Street, one of the most notorious drug corners in Denver. Just as he's lamenting the disintegration of the neighborhood, two men approach each other with subtle nods and strike a deal. Under the bright glare of the street lights, one of them pulls a brand-new crack pipe out of a small cardboard box, discarding the packaging in the corner trashcan. They head toward the alley to try out their purchases.
Maddux hardly blinks. In the last year, there's been so much crack dealing -- and in recent months, violence -- that he's come to expect it. But not accept it.
The crack zombies have driven away about 40 percent of his business -- "You can't walk a block without someone coming up to you and saying, 'You looking?'" -- so Maddux made it his mission to push back.
Tonight, like so many nights before, he holds court in front of the Snake Pit. But this warm July night is different. He doesn't know it yet, but tomorrow he and the club's owner, Tom Oberbroeckling, will have a falling out over the business, and Maddux will quit.
But because he and Oberbroeckling are longtime buddies and Maddux has invested so much in the club -- he's managed the Snake Pit for five of the eight years it's been open -- he won't give up his street sweeps. After a weekend away, the 41-year-old former banquet manager, whose true desire is to teach high school English, will agree to come back and walk the streets a few nights a week, yelling at any crackhead who dares to walk by, while completing his last semester at Metro State College, where he's earning his teaching certificate.
Maddux has called the cops so often they recognize his voice. He knows the regular users who come on foot and the ones who come by car. He can even rattle off their license-plate numbers. He knows the dark spots in the alleys where they go to smoke up their ten bucks. He knows the dealers by their street names. And they know him.
"They'll walk right up to me, and if I haven't seen them in a while, they'll say, 'Yeah, I did nine months in County,'" he says.
When Maddux first started managing the Snake Pit, the biggest menace on Capitol Hill was the occasional wino. Not anymore. Last month, Maddux found himself in the middle of a chase. A crack dealer running from the cops smacked right into the six-foot-two-inch, 240-pound Maddux. The guy fell down but made a quick recovery and took off again. With Maddux in pursuit, the dealer took something out of his pants and threw it over a fence. When Maddux caught up to him, he tackled the guy and held him down until the cops came. The police then went to retrieve the discarded item. It was a .45.
While Maddux made his nightly rounds a few weeks ago, a dealer looked out of an apartment window a block away and noticed him walking below. The dealer rushed outside, sprinted up to Maddux and said, "I know you. You manage the Snake Pit. You're the one always in our shit," Maddux recalls. "Then he lifted up his shirt and showed me his gun."
Maddux's boyfriend, a soft-spoken architect, was with him that night and freaked at the sight of the gun. "It took him ninety minutes to calm down," Maddux says. But the fact that he wasn't bothered by it bothered him. Adds Maddux: "That was the start for me realizing how insane it is that I've come to accept this as normal."
If the last few months are any indication, it just may be. In the early hours of April 18, a man walked into the 7-Eleven and pointed a crossbow at the clerk, then left the store and hopped into a Jeep. The clerk notified the police, who caught up to the guy and tried to pull him over. But the man sped away and then crashed into a light pole at 12th Avenue and Lincoln Street, where he got out and aimed the crossbow at them. The officers opened fire, and the man died a couple of hours later. On June 3, Eric "Tattoo" Humes pulled up to an apartment building on 12th Avenue and Pearl Street, where he was apparently going to sell drugs to two women. Instead, he pointed a gun at them, demanded cash and began shooting. Catherine Dixon died; Debra Bellamy survived. Police have made ten aggravated-assault arrests between Logan and Clarkson streets and 11th Avenue and Colfax between January and June; there were fourteen aggravated-assault arrests in all of 2002.
Maddux is well aware of the risks that come with confronting crack dealers -- especially gun-toting ones -- but he feels compelled to do something, although he has no illusions of curbing the the crack problem on his own. Even the Unsinkables, a neighborhood group that's been patrolling the area for years, can't seem to make a dent ("Shape Up or Ship Out," June 13, 2002). "I don't understand how they can be out there seven days a week, twenty hours a day," says Unsinkables president Kathi Anderson.

Unlike any of the other candidates, Doering openly disavows the "watchdog" function of the auditor's post, saying it's a "managerial" position, not a "policy-making" one.
"As auditor, you shouldn't be involved in whether an expenditure is appropriate," Doering says. Instead, he says, the auditor should confine himself to making sure that the office runs smoothly and that city contractors are paid on time. Doering does say "performance audits"--reviews of how well various city departments are functioning--are legitimate and would become a regular feature of his administration. But he is adamant that it is not the auditor's job "to launch smoke grenades and stink bombs at the mayor's office across the street."
Doering's reticence about attacking the mayor doesn't surprise his critics. During his tenure on the city council, they say, Doering has been one of Webb's staunchest allies, frequently lambasting Crider and anyone else who questioned the mayor's policies or spending habits. City councilman Ted Hackworth, a longtime Webb foe, describes Doering as "a very, very close associate of Mayor Webb's" and says if Doering and Webb were both elected, "you would not see any kind of dispute between the two."
Jack McCroskey agrees. "He's in the mayor's pocket," McCroskey says. "I don't think there's any question about that."
Doering bristles at the charge. "That's an unfair characterization of me," he says. As proof, Doering notes that he opposed Webb's highly controversial plan to sell off the Winter Park ski area in the summer of 1993--one of the most important initiatives of Webb's first term.
Doering says the perception that he is a shill for the Webb administration stems from his nonconfrontational style. If he disagrees with the mayor on an issue, he says, he'll call Webb and work the dispute out, rather than pick up the phone to call a newspaper reporter. "I communicate before I criticize," Doering says.
But Doering apparently wasn't able to smooth over differences that arose recently between him and Frances Hillyard, a former deputy director at the Mayor's Office of Art, Culture & Film who initially agreed to work as his campaign manager. Hillyard quit the campaign earlier this month.
Hillyard declines to specify why she abandoned Doering. "There were some issues that came to light that made me decide that the best decision would be to step back," Hillyard says. Doering is only slightly less vague, but he implies that Hillyard expected him to run a "grassroots campaign," whereas "political reality" forced him to concentrate on raising money. Doering donors include Webb fundraiser and city financial consultant Rita Kahn; Hensel Phelps, the giant construction concern that got millions of dollars in city contracts at Denver International Airport; and Logplan, the German company that built the city's "backup" baggage system at the new airport.
After Hillyard left, Doering admits, he considered dropping out of the race. For weeks, his opponents say, he was a virtual phantom, failing to show up for candidate forums and debates. Doering, however, says he's changed his mind about giving up and is now back in the campaign. He even attended a candidate's forum last week.
"I'm in the race through the end," he says.
The Denver municipal election takes place May 2.

I would say first and foremost to pace yourself because you won't be able to do everything that you normally get to do on your regular Disney trip. Make a list of all your must-dos at every park so you can hit all of your favorite attractions at least once.
Also, it will help if you do a basic plan before you get there so you can get the most out of your days there, especially if you're staying on property so you can take advantage of Extra Magic Hours.

Since I recapped this game yesterday, I'm not going to discuss what happened in the first 44 minutes of the game. For this post, I want to focus on the final four minutes when the Raptors were only able to score two points off of free throws, miss all six field goal attempts and committed a couple of crucial turnovers.
There's a tendency for fans of bad basketball teams to assume that what separates their team from the good teams is the ability to win close games. As an example of how this is not necessarily the case, the Cleveland Cavaliers are 3-3 in games decided by five points or fewer and 5-29 in the rest of their games. Clearly, late-game execution is not the problem here.
The Raptors are another story. In games decided by five points or fewer, they have a 2-8 (.200) record this season. In their other games, they have a .354 winning percentage. They're clearly not world-beaters either way, but yesterday's end-of-game sequence brought into sharp relief this team's ineffectiveness in clutch situations this season.
Immediately after a Hornets possession in which they were allowed to grab three consecutive offensive rebounds but they still didn't score, the Raptors had the ball with about two minutes to go in the fourth quarter and trailing by a point. Obviously, this was still anyone's game. Unfortunately, the Raptors – and specficially Andrea Bargnani — squandered this opportunity with three straight awful possessions.
In the first possession in this video, the Raptors appear to have called a clear-out iso play for Bargnani and one would think he would be able to take Emeka Okafor off the dribble quite easily. Perhaps his confidence was shaken from how poorly he'd been playing throughout the game, because he simply held on to the ball for five seconds and then passed it back to Jose Calderon with five seconds left on the shot clock. Jose had little choice but to jack up a contested three-point attempt. In Bargnani's second possession, he forced up a contested 13-footer with 11 seconds left on the shot clock — probably not the best idea considering how poorly he'd been shooting on the day. Given a third chance to redeem himself, he nearly airballed an open three-pointer that barely grazed the rim. Just an ugly sequence of possessions that summed up Barganani's worst performance of the season.
To be clear, I'm well aware that Bargnani had been having the best month of his career before he laid yesterday's stinkbomb. And it's not like I'm saying he's solely to blame for this loss — the Raptors got hosed on at least three critical late-game calls and Amir Johnson missed a five-foot shot with six seconds left that would have brought the Raptors within two points.
My point is that it's easy to blame the coach when a team like the Raptors can't win the close ones, but the players on the court have to execute. That Bargnani iso may not have been the most sophisticated play Triano could have called, but I bet you Bargnani would have at least gotten to the free throw line if he drove instead of freezing up. Speaking of which, isn't this the guy who isn't supposed to be affected by pressure?

I have 2 trees. Have had 2 weeks. Mexicali and Zutano They both had some small holes in leaves when I got them. The Zutano had a new branch with nice leaves no holes. After a week the holes got worse. I found the little moth things laying eggs in leaves' sprayed with Very Diluted malathion, and a bit of soapy water. I let set a couple hours then rinsed thoroughly. Now 3 days later overnight the spotting on the pretty Zutano. They also are more chewed and brown happening too. There are other pictures in my clippings please take a look thanks so much. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I just bought a Kona Sharwil last month. I noticed something chewing on mine also and found a caterpillar. Killed it but now this tree will get bi-weekly treatments of BT like the rest of my veggie garden. Might be your case also. No need for something as broad spectrum as Malathion. BT (K variant) will take care of them. Available at almost ANY garden center. Kevin |
Thanks wohooman. I just bought some better spray with Bonide called Captain Jacks. It's the only one I saw with avocado in list .Any thoughts on why my leaves are getting the brown spots? A fungus or maybe got burnt from sun? They haven't fallen off yet but I am worried. I noticed that on the Zutano the leaves get like a dimple, then the holes happen, that the bugs?. Thank you for help and opinions :o) |
If it's a caterpillar, BT is all you need. Not sure about Captain Jack's -- I think it's a pretty broad spectrum pesticide-- which I'm totally against because they usually kill the good bugs also. I don't know TOO much about avocado trees. But, I do believe the browning is a natural happening. I have browning on the edges of my leaves and i'm pretty darn sure that it's caused by the Santa Anas we just had here in SoCal. Somebody I talked to said I should shade it when the temps are blistering. Your tree looks much healthier than mine except for the chewing. A night time inspection might lead you to the culprit. Kevin |
- Posted by PLINKING.40 zone 9 (My Page) on Thu, Jun 5, 14 at 17:44
Mine did the same thing, all the leaves got crispy, and fell off duing the SA winds and the 103* we had up here on the hill, I did by a back up Hass that I keep shaded until it gets aclamated (spell?) to the sun and heat, and my Shinseiki pear lost most of the leaves too, Sucks cause they both were beautiful and full when I got them first run at this So i guess i take some Lumps with it.. Gary. |
Young avocado trees need to be "Hardened off" slowly. Direct/intense heat will wipe out young avos. I always provide shadecloth (50%) the first summer for my babies. Do not let the soil dry out. They love water. Unless you find a bug you KNOW is damaging your leaves...spray an insecticide. |
Thanks much for your help. Yes I had it in a windy full sun location a day b4 it happened I moved them back on porch and they seem to be perking up a bit. I agree about the pesticide. I haven't used it yet. I'm gonna get a magnifying glass and a flashlight and take a look tonight. Good luck with yours too. Regards, Lynn |
Captain Jack's Dead Bug Brew is Spinosad. It's pretty safe for beneficial insects as an insect has to ingest the spinosad for it to work. Just walking on the leaves when the spray has dried won't hurt anything. It's really good for chewing insects and is registered for organic gardening. BT works great on caterpillars, and only caterpillars. If it's a beetle or katydid or grasshopper doing the chewing, it won't work, but spinosad will. Best to spray in the evening though, so it's dry by morning when the bees, etc are out and about. To me, it looks like katydid damage. It's kind of like a green roundish grasshopper, but it is active at night and feeds then. |
Hmm I still have not found my culprit. I have more holes too. I know what the Katydid looks like and honestly have never seen one in my yard. I know that doesn't mean there aren't any of course. I do have tons of earwigs(pincherbugs) Could they possibly be the culprit? I just sprayed yesterday so I cant say if it worked or not yet. Temps are suppose to hit 105 or higher Monday so I'm bringing them in the house. I might spot the bugs then I will update and ty all for your kind replies. |
Could be earwigs. They sometimes eat young tender leaves. They eat bugs and plants, meat and veggies, like us, ; ) They're usually not a problem unless you have a ton of them, which you said you did. Katydids eat at night, so you probably wouldn't see them unless you go out with a flashlight at night, like 11 pm. Lots of bugs only eat at night. You may want to check at night. Earwigs mostly eat then too. Btw, you can use spinosad and BT at the same time, in case you never see the culprit. Get both possibilities. |

Bonus Watch '13: Jim Gorman Gives Employees The Option To Either Take Their Bonus In Three Easy Installments
By Bess LevinSince taking the reins at Morgan Stanley in 2010, CEO James Gorman has guided the firm with a managerial style that boils down to telling people, more or less: You'll get it when you've earned it, "it" being anything from personal space to money to his respect. On the point of compensation, last year he told employees complaining about what they were paid to either open a newspaper and get over themselves or do everyone a favor and quit. Today brings news that this year, he's doubling down on that mandate and daring anyone to make something of it.
Morgan Stanley is deferring 100 percent of the bonuses for high-earning employees, according to three sources familiar with the situation. The deferral applies to all employees, except for financial advisers, who make more than $350,000 annually and whose bonuses are at least $50,000, one of the sources said. The deferred bonuses will be paid out over a three-year period. Employees who make less than $350,000 annually and whose bonuses total less than $50,000 will receive their cash bonuses in February, the source said.
Don't spend it all in one place.

Morgan Stanley, the 21st Century UBS?
They are not dumb. They are doing this to get past the UK tax change uproar that GS saw when it said it was delaying bonus. Delaying bad, deferring good. Same result, but politicians do not know that
I think they are doing it because they DO NOT HAVE THE CASH TO PAY. This way people do not realize how bad of shape they are, and they look good because they are screwing the employees. They couldn't afford to pay cash bonus if they wanted. Lucky the congress is playing right into their hands
Yeah, only problem with this apparently is that if you get fired or leave voluntary within the next 3 years, you lose whatever bonus is left to be paid out…oops!
Gorman is really giving people an option here: "Think you don't get paid enough, then feel free to leave. Oh wait, if you leave, you won't get paid at all." John Mack would be proud.
