I recently read—and enjoyed—the novel, The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin, a sweet homage to independent bookstores. Given my long-standing love of bookstores (and libraries), it's not surprising this story resonated with me. I still have fond memories of the book sellers of my youth: the erudite sales staff at Kroch's and Brentano's, the mystique of the 3rd floor book department in the iconic Marshall Field's, and the laid-back vibe of Barbara's Bookstore.
I can't deny that Amazon is quick, convenient and (usually) less expensive, or that I've made purchases from them—hey, I also sell my book on Amazon—but I do care about supporting independent bookstores and so should anyone who doesn't want to see them disappear.
Spending time—a little or a lot—in a bookstore is a different experience than purchasing a book online… and one that I value. The other day I popped into The Book Stall, not looking for any specific book (except in the general sense that I am always looking for the next good read), and left with Even the Terrible Things Seem Beautiful to Me Now, Mary Schmich's collection of her columns. Although she's one of my favorite journalists, I didn't realize that she had released a book until I saw it artfully displayed.
Author John Green (The Fault in our Stars), when interviewed on My Chicago, spoke about bookstores (The Book Cellar, in particular), the chance to browse and the process of discovery they allow. He went on to talk about the wonderful recommendations that well-read book sellers can provide—how they can think in a way that an algorithm never can.
In that vein, I'd like to mention a few of the personal, full-service bookstores we have in the Chicagoland area. Each of these brick and mortar establishments has a unique character, but they do have a lot in common. They have strong links to the community they serve, they partner with local organizations, they sponsor book and author events, and they donate books to local charities. As a nod to the times, some have added e-books that you can purchase through their stores. Check out their respective websites to find out about upcoming events, discount clubs and get lots more information. And of course, visit them—alone, or even better, with a child in tow.
The Book Stall in Winnetka, named Publishers Weekly Bookstore of the Year in 2012, is definitely my go-to bookstore. The recently-retired Roberta Rubin was at its helm for over 30 years and has passed the torch to new owner, Stephanie Hochschild, who is maintaining the same level of excellence. It seems as if almost every author has visited this bookstore—my son and I met J.K. Rowling and had our copy of Harry Potter signed here several years ago. Their extensive schedule of book and author events range from small gatherings at the store to enormous ones at various venues. Their newsletter is a must-read.
Books on Vernon in Glencoe is a small neighborhood bookstore. At the front, you will be welcomed by a friendly book seller and home-made cookies, in the middle, you'll peruse a good selection of books and in the back, you might be surprised to find an intimate performance space, as they are affiliated with Writers Theater. Whatever books they don't have on hand can be ordered.
Lake Forest Book Store on Market Square in Lake Forest has a knowledgeable, service-oriented staff, a great selection of books and interesting events. They will arrange evening book reviews for your book club. In the summer, some events are held in the adjacent courtyard. This month, they are participating in the fun Where's Waldo? hunt to support local businesses.
The Book Bin in Northbrook sponsors the Giving Tree project, which provides books for inner city children. There's an active book discussion group and they hold an annual Book Club Idea Night, although friendly staffers are happy to offer suggestions any time. They might be the only bookstore who still has a rental library, where you can borrow a book for a nominal charge.
Bookends & Beginnings opened its doors in Evanston in mid-June in an encouraging show of faith. You'll find books, gifts and local color within. Nina Barrett, author and radio personality and Jeffrey Barrett, writer, editor and research librarian, are longtime Evanston residents and the owners of this engaging bookstore. They also offer used and remaindered books, as well as signed first editions.
Anderson's Bookshop in Naperville (and another location in Downers Grove) has deep roots in the community and is a family-run business with members of the 6th generation currently working in the store. Also a former PW Bookstore of the Year, Anderson's is home to quite a few book clubs catering to various tastes and needs: Mother-Daughter Book Club aimed at daughters 13-16, Not for Kids Only for adults who enjoy juvenile fiction, LitWits for those who wish to read books by and about women, among others. Anderson's features an impressive calendar of book and author events. Look for a wide selection of humorous literary-themed t-shirts. Co-owner Becky Anderson Wilkins was a recent guest on Windy City Live.
The Book Cellar is located in the heart of the delightful Lincoln Square, one of my favorite Chicago neighborhoods. John Green, who lived in Chicago for six years, has called the Book Cellar the first great bookstore love of my life and returns often to sign his books. The Chicago Reader has also dubbed the Book Cellar Best Bookstore of 2014. They host a roster of diverse book clubs, such as a YA (young adult) group for adults, a Classics group and a Sierra Club group. If you work up an appetite debating the relative merits of your selection or just browsing, you'll find an appealing selection of sandwiches, salads, pastries and even wine or beer at their in-store cafe.
Women & Children First is a unique bookstore in the Andersonville area of Chicago. Each staffer is a reader, a feminist and a bookseller. They pride themselves on stocking more than 30,000 books by and about women, children's books for all ages, and the best of lesbian and gay fiction and non-fiction. Several ongoing discussion groups meet at the store. Storytime is conducted every Wednesday morning by co-owner Linda Bubon. She promises singing, dancing, and silliness for all in attendance! Children's birthday parties can also be arranged. They have established the Women's Voices Fund, which raises money to sustain and develop programming with a focus on women's lives. I remember waiting in line here years ago to hear Gloria Steinem.
Note: Nine Chicago independent bookstores (including The Book Cellar and Women & Children First) have teamed up for the first Chicago Independent Bookstore Day on Saturday, July 12. Refreshments, free books and special deals will be available.
Grandbooking by Highland Park resident Belinda Brock is a community blog focused on making connections through reading. Brock's blog primarily focuses on children, books, literacy and repairing the world, but other topics pop up every once in a while. She says a passion for reading "goes a long way toward making memories, igniting a love of books and bonding."

Capacity crowd hears State of the University address
Strive Network, Fort Ord reuse among president's priorities
The annual State of the University address provided an opportunity for CSU Monterey Bay President Eduardo Ochoa to reinforce the university's ties to the region.
Speaking to a crowd of staff and faculty members in the World Theater on Aug. 22, President Ochoa emphasized the university's mission of being a strong and positive influence on the community CSUMB serves.
He started his remarks by reflecting on his first year on campus.
One of the most significant events, he said, was the voters' approval of Proposition 30, which puts the university on a stronger financial foundation and "allows us to establish some positive momentum."
The mission of CSUMB and the entire CSU system is to educate the diverse population of the state. "We must help guarantee that this generation of Californians is even more educationally prepared than their parents were so they can face the challenges ahead," he said.
To do this, the university must continue to improve its graduation rate. In addition, its commitment to diversity needs to be coupled with a sharp focus on educational excellence.
"We need to leverage our campus diversity as a strategic asset in preparing our students for a global, multicultural society," he said.
He reminded the audience of the three priority areas he set when he addressed them last year and explained the progress that has been made on each.
The first priority involves exercising national leadership in developing new sustainable models of liberal learning.
He complimented the faculty for being "receptive to new ideas and innovations," and pointed to the strong faculty response to the request for proposals to promote innovation in teaching and learning.
"The universities that will thrive in this new era will be the ones that maintain and nurture a spirit of innovation. This is one more reason that I am excited and proud to be the president of Cal State Monterey Bay," he said.
Another promising example of innovation and cooperation is the new CSIT-in-3 program with Hartnell College that will produce computer science graduates in just three years.
His second priority is reaching for excellence in fields relevant to regional needs.
He pointed to the recent creation of the College of Business as responding to the needs of students and of the community.
"I expect our College of Business will build even closer ties to the community through the development of programs in the areas of hospitality management and ag management. Agriculture and the hospitality industry are two of the pillars of Monterey County's economy. Cal State Monterey Bay should be an instrumental partner in their continued success," he said.
He pointed to marine science and Cinematic Arts and Technology as other areas of distinction.
Acting as a "steward of place," a strong and positive influence on the community CSUMB serves, is his third initiative.
The award-winning service learning program has already given the university a strong foundation in the community; last spring's Welcome Home event for former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta helped to increase the university's visibility in the community.
Being a steward of place also concerns the future development of the former Fort Ord, "this remarkable area we call home," President Ochoa said. He told the audience that the university has a responsibility to encourage land uses that meet the needs of the many groups who value "this incredible site."
To help encourage a long-range vision for base re-use, CSUMB plans to host several colloquia for members of the Fort Ord Reuse Authority during the fall. They will bring together experts in planning, economic development and environmental protection.
"We would like to broaden the discussion from the merits of specific projects to a more all-encompassing vision of the best way to meet the long-run needs of the community," he said.
Another aspect of being a steward of place involves taking an interest in the lives of the community's young people. To coordinate the work of schools, social service agencies and non-profits, he advocates establishing the Strive Network. The network's motto is "Every Child. Cradle to Career."
The university has taken the first steps toward building the network, and will soon hire a coordinator to oversee the project on behalf of all the community partners.
He concluded by reminding the faculty and staff that the university has great potential. "We achieve it by developing fully the potential that lies within each of our students."
Once the president concluded his remarks, employee service awards were presented to 71 people who have been with the university for five years; 10-year pins were awarded to 30 staff members; and 31 others were acknowledged for 15 years of service. The first 20-year award in the university's history went to Reyola Carlisle.
Also acknowledged were the faculty members who had been granted tenure and promoted to associate professor. They were:
• Dr. Lipika Deka, Mathematics and Statistics Department
• Dr. Cathi Draper Rodriguez, Teacher Education Department
• Ms. Jacqui Grallo, Library
• Dr. Sathya Narayanan, School of Information Technology and Communication Design
• Dr. Lila Staples, Visual and Public Art Department
In addition, Ms. Pam Baker, library; Ms. Stephanie Johnson, Visual and Public Art Department; Dr. Pam Motoike, Service Learning Institute; and Ms. Johanna Poethig, Visual and Public Art Department, were promoted to full professor.

Saw this beautifully designed but completetly unnecessary robot at Bread and Butter Berlin. It's a computer connected with a pencil writing with sand. It was a hot and sunny day in Berlin and the umberella was definitely needed to protect the computer. I like the message, why be realistic? Use a mixture of things that are usually not put together. The meeting of differences breeds creativity.

I have several rose bushes but could use some help on the pruning, bug treatment, etc. I have Westerland, Reve d'Or, Playboy, and several others. (I have a gorgeous red but I need to look through my receipts to figure out what it is- I would like 2 or 3 more of them). Anyway, would appreciate suggestions on a good basic book for rose care. Thanks, Brandy |

Someone recommended me Field Roebuck, "The Complete Roses ..." It's available at most libraries. I borrowed mine through inter-library loan. You'll enjoy it, lots of good pics, very well-written. |
- Posted by SpiderLily7 8B (My Page) on Thu, May 17, 12 at 6:57
I highly recommend The Organic Rose Garden by Liz Druitt, Growing Roses Organically by Barbara Wilde, and A Year of Roses by Stephen Scanniello. |
If you have one within a reasonable distance, to you, find a local used book store and browse through their gardening section. I say this as I have one here and there are books there that are no longer in print and sometimes those have items that are no longer popular and therefore omitted from many new books. It sometimes also give you an idea how it was done in the old days (Old now being twenty or fewer years ago:-) |
I appreciate all the great advice. I ordered the Field Roebuck book, A Year of Roses (for the lyrical writing), and The Organic Rose Garden. (The used book stores around here only carry paperbacks, and don't carry any gardening books- it was a good idea, though.) I am looking forward to my new goodies arriving (I love gorgeous books!). Meanwhile, I better pull out my clematis book and read up on pruning my clems, and also my vine book and try to figure out what in the world to do w/ my wildly overrunning honeysuckle hedge. Thanks!

Lack of rain has caused crops to fail. The affected regions usually harvest their crops once a year planting in April and harvesting in September but this year the rains failed to come.
Cattle herders are struggling to keep their herds alive.
According to the World Food Programme it is the worst drought since 2000.
Reports suggest that nearly four million people are now in need of food aid.
Ruth Moores, Information Coordinator for MAF in Kenya, warns, 'The situation in northern Kenya is extremely serious. The prediction is that there will be good short rains from October to December. But if the short rains don't come, then I fear that Kenya is heading for disaster.'
MAF's response
Our planes took food supplies on one of our regular flights to Lodwar - one of the areas in the north badly affected by drought.
The food was collected by Tony Woods from the Diocese of Lodwar and distrubuted to two nursery schools that are having difficulty getting relief supplies.
Another flight to Lodwar carried a ton of Unimix - an enriched high energy porridge mix, suitable for malnourished people. This was distributed by pentecostal Assemblies of Canada.
Pilots Gero and David also flew to Laisamis taking a ton of food on behalf of Chrisco Church who took charge of distributing it to the wider community.
Other parts of East Africa are also facing food shortages due to drought.

I must admit that ever since Tim and I started dating, I began thinking of how to throw him an awesome 30th Birthday party.
Creepy? Maybe.
My original hope was to throw him a surprise party, but I can't keep any secrets from him. As soon as I thought of the greatest birthday party of all time…I immediately told him…and there went the surprise.
"Welcome to Timmy's 'Pub & Pig' 30th Birthday!!"
I had actually been planning this party since before the wedding, because I knew that if I didn't at least think about what I wanted to do…I would drop the ball. Call me crazy, but I felt that dropping the ball on a pretty monumental birthday…and the first birthday as his wife…that would probably be a bad sign.
So…what does "Pub & Pig" mean? Well…it was just my fancy way of saying, "We're having a beer tasting birthday party with a lot of beer and pork related food." Pub & Pig sounds better.
The idea was pretty simple: assign everyone a category of beer and have them each bring a chilled six-pack in their category…and then load up the party with lots of beer and pig menu items. :)
- BBQ Pulled Pork
- Four Bean Baked Beans (loaded with beef and bacon)
- Coleslaw
- Broccoli Farfalle Salad (with bacon)
- Beer cheese Dip
- Blue Moon Cupcakes
- Chocolate Stout Cupcakes w/ Bailey's Whipped Frosting
The number one lesson that I learned from throwing this birthday party?
Making frosting is hard.
Here are some other pictures from our adventures this past month…namely: Wicked!!
I couldn't have controlled my face even if I wanted to. Everything was so amazing, and I may or may not have drooled a little bit during "Defying Gravity." I'm not even going to pretend I'm sorry for that.
Tim said he spent half the time watching me watch the show…but assured me that he did enjoy it.
Happy 30th Birthday Timmy!!

Alyssa Milano has a babysitter to thank for her celebrity because that's who took the then 8 year old to an Annie audition without her parents' consent. Cast as one of the orphans, she spent 18 months on the road. In 1984, she booked Who's The Boss? Milano played Tony Danza's outspoken daughter Samantha for eight seasons. She put out several pop albums, played Arnold Schwarzenneger's kid in Commando and then tried to shake her teen –queen vibe by taking more risqué roles in Poison Ivy II and Melrose Place. She returned to TV all grown up from 1998 to 2006 as a Charmed sister witch. She had a recurring role on My Name Is Earl and will next be see in ABC's summer soap Mistresses. She avoided many of the common child-star pitfalls although it took a few tries to find wedded bliss. An engagement to Scott Wolf ended after a year in 1994 and her 1999 marriage to Remy Zero frontman Cinjun Tate fell apart after a year. It appears the third time is a charm as she wed her longtime friend David Bugliari in 2009 and gave birth to son Milo in 2011. She has also kept idle hands busy as a UNICEF national ambassador and as the head of a clothing and jewelry line called TOUCH, which sated the baseball junkie's hunger to design stylish merch for female sports fans. She has deals with MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL and the NCAA.

Australia's new cultural cathedrals
Finally, there is the new National Portrait Gallery in Canberra which opened in 2008, a low-slung building dominated by two cantilevered concrete blades that complements the brutalist architecture of its neighbour, the High Court of Australia. Critics, like Catherine De Lorenzo of the University of New South Wales, have celebrated its "assured presence", suggesting that it "reveals a new architectural maturity in Canberra and, perhaps, the nation". Australia's bush capital has never really gone for grand, monumental architecture – visitors can literally clamber over its new parliament building on the turf that covers its roof – and the Portrait Gallery is typically understated.
Like all the other galleries, though, it is a welcome addition. "The Great Australian Emptiness" is a thing of the past. Just look at the artistic landmarks peppering its cultural landscape.

New King James Version (NKJV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Deliver me, O Lord, from evil men; Preserve me from violent men, | 1 Rescue me, O LORD, from evil men; protect me from men of violence, |
2 Who plan evil things in their hearts; They continually gather together for war. | 2 who devise evil plans in their hearts and stir up war every day. |
3 They sharpen their tongues like a serpent; The poison of asps is under their lips. Selah | 3 They make their tongues as sharp as a serpent's; the poison of vipers is on their lips. "Selah" |
4 Keep me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked; Preserve me from violent men, Who have purposed to make my steps stumble. | 4 Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; protect me from men of violence who plan to trip my feet. |
5 The proud have hidden a snare for me, and cords; They have spread a net by the wayside; They have set traps for me. Selah | 5 Proud men have hidden a snare for me; they have spread out the cords of their net and have set traps for me along my path. "Selah" |
6 I said to the Lord: "You are my God; Hear the voice of my supplications, O Lord. | 6 O LORD, I say to you, "You are my God." Hear, O LORD, my cry for mercy. |
7 O God the Lord, the strength of my salvation, You have covered my head in the day of battle. | 7 O Sovereign LORD, my strong deliverer, who shields my head in the day of battle-- |
8 Do not grant, O Lord, the desires of the wicked; Do not further his wicked scheme, Lest they be exalted. Selah | 8 do not grant the wicked their desires, O LORD; do not let their plans succeed, or they will become proud. "Selah" |
9 "As for the head of those who surround me, Let the evil of their lips cover them; | 9 Let the heads of those who surround me be covered with the trouble their lips have caused. |
10 Let burning coals fall upon them; Let them be cast into the fire, Into deep pits, that they rise not up again. | 10 Let burning coals fall upon them; may they be thrown into the fire, into miry pits, never to rise. |
11 Let not a slanderer be established in the earth; Let evil hunt the violent man to overthrow him." | 11 Let slanderers not be established in the land; may disaster hunt down men of violence. |
12 I know that the Lord will maintain The cause of the afflicted, And justice for the poor. | 12 I know that the LORD secures justice for the poor and upholds the cause of the needy. |
13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks to Your name; The upright shall dwell in Your presence. | 13 Surely the righteous will praise your name and the upright will live before you. |

'Abd Rabbuh Manṣūr Hādī (Arabic: عبد ربه منصور هادي [ʕæbd ˈrɑbːʊh mɑnˈsˤuːr ˈhæːdiː]; born 1 September 1945) is a Yemeni major general and politician who was the President of Yemen from 27 February 2012 until 22 January 2015, when he resigned after the Houthis seized the Republican palace. He was previously the Vice President from 1994 to 2012.[1] Between 4 June and 23 September 2011, he was the acting President of Yemen while Ali Abdullah Saleh was undergoing medical treatment in Saudi Arabia following an attack on the presidential palace during the 2011 Yemeni uprising.[2] Then, on 23 November, Hadi became Acting President again, after Saleh moved into a non-active role pending the presidential election "in return for immunity from prosecution". Hadi was "expected to form a national unity government and also call for early presidential elections within 90 days" while Saleh continued to serve as President in name only.[3]
Early life and education[edit]
Hadi was born in 1945 in Thukain village in Abyan, a southern Yemeni governorate.[4] He graduated from a military academy in the Federation of South Arabia in 1964.[5] In 1966 he graduated after receiving a military scholarship to study in Britain, where he learned to speak English fluently.[4] Then, in 1970, he received another military scholarship to study tanks in Egypt for six years. Hadi spent the following four years in the Soviet Union studying military commanding. He occupied several military posts in the army of South Yemen until 1986, when he fled to North Yemen with Ali Nasser Mohammed, president of South Yemen, after Ali Nasser's faction of the ruling Yemeni Socialist Party lost the 1986 civil war.[6]
Hadi played a low-profile role during the Aden Emergency. Following the independence of South Yemen, he rose to prominence in the new military, reaching the rank of Major general.[5]
He remained loyal to President Ali Nasser Mohammed during the South Yemen Civil War, and followed him into exile in neighboring North Yemen. During the 1994 civil war in Yemen Hadi sided with the Yemeni government, and was appointed defense minister.[5] In this role he led the military campaign against the Democratic Republic of Yemen.[7] Following the war he was promoted to Vice President, replacing Ali Salim Al-Beidh, who had resigned and fought against the government during the civil war. Hadi was appointed by President Ali Abdullah Saleh as Vice President on 3 October 1994. Before his appointment as Vice President, he served briefly as the minister of defense.
President of Yemen[edit]
Hadi was the sole candidate in the presidential election that was held on 21 February 2012. His candidacy was backed by the ruling party as well as the parliamentary opposition. The Election Commission reported that 65 percent of registered voters in Yemen voted during the election. Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi took the oath of office in Yemen's parliament on 25 February 2012.[8] He was formally inaugurated as the president of Yemen on 27 February 2012, when Saleh resigned from the presidency and formally ceded power to Hadi.[9]
Political reform[edit]
In March 2013 the National Dialogue Conference was conceived as a core part of the transition process and is intended to bring together Yemen's diverse political, social, geographic, and demographic groups to address the most critical issues plaguing the country.[10] On January 2014, Hadi pushed delegates at the conference to break a deadlock on key issues and bring the talks to an overdue close. When those in attendance finally agreed on a final few points, he launched into an impassioned speech that led to a spike in his popularity. It was agreed that Yemen would shift to a federal model of government in the future, a move which have been proposed and forcefully backed by Hadi.[11]
In a move to unify the Military of Yemen which suffered from split since the Yemeni Revolution, Hadi began reforming the Military. He issued Presidential decree №104 of December 2012 reorganizing the Military into 5 main branches: Air Force, Army (Ground Force), Navy and Coastal Defence, Border Troops and Strategic Reserve Forces, which includes the Special Operation Command, the Missile Defence Command and the Presidential Protective Forces. The Strategic Reserve Forces replaces the Republican Guard.[12]
Security issues[edit]
From his early days at office, President Hadi advocated fighting Al-Qaida as an important goal. In a meeting with British Foreign Secretary, William Hague in his first days at office Hadi said "We intend to confront terrorism with full force and whatever the matter we will pursue it to the very last hiding place".[13]
Another security issue he is busy with is the Yemeni military, which suffers from a sharp division since Major General Ali Mohsen Al-Ahmar defected in late March 2011 in the midst of protests demanding Saleh's ouster. The military services protests extended to the Republican Guard – based in the south of Sana'a – when dozens from the Fourth Brigade closed down southern entrances to the capital city and demanded the firing of the brigade's commander, Mohammad Al-Arar, and his general staff.[13]
In an interview in September 2012 to the Washington Post, Hadi warned that his country, still reeling from the popular uprising that ousted his predecessor Ali Abdullah Saleh, risks a descent into a civil war "worse than Afghanistan" should an upcoming months-long national dialogue fail to resolve the state's deep political and societal rifts. He also said that Yemen was facing "three undeclared wars" conducted by al Qaeda, pirates in the Gulf of Aden, and Houthi rebels in the north, and that Iran was supporting these adversaries indirectly without giving further details.[14]
Rebel takeover and resignation[edit]
On 22 January 2015, after the takeover of the capital by Houthi rebels, President Hadi and Prime Minister Khaled Bahah tendered their resignations to parliament which reportedly refused to accept them.[15] Then the Yemeni cabinet dissolved.[16]

Freestanding wine coolers are a great choice for many wine enthusiasts. They offer flexibility in that they can be placed virtually anywhere in the home, whether it's in a corner in the basement or in a spot more suited to showing off your collection.
Many people love the taste of wines and never give much of a thought as to how they should be preserved and stored. However, taking the time to learn the basics of storing wines will not only help keep them preserved for a longer period of time, but will allow them to taste better.
While there are some rules about matching wines with food, it is important to satisfy your own tastes first. Red wines are usually recommended for heavier meals, especially those including red meat such as beef or lamb. Lighter-bodied reds can also go great with pork and poultry...
There's nothing more exciting than having a package waiting for you at your door, even though chances are you paid for whatever is waiting in that box, it's like opening a gift that you've never seen or touched before. So, you can only imagine the excitement of opening a package of wine, that's right - wine delivered to your door!
Red wines are produced using around 40 red grape varietals grown all around the world. The following list is of the major varietals used today. Pinot Noir grapes produce some of the best wines that are rich and complex, with hints of cherries, berries, earth and spice.
Opposite to the traditional compressor-based cooling and refrigerant, a thermoelectric wine cooler will contain a cooling node – simply a ceramic tile through which an electric current passes. As the current passes through the cooling node, the outside of the tile heats up while the inside cools down.

I paid for some seeds almost a year ago from an Australian source never to hear from the person again. Is there a decent US source for some yellow seed ? I'm not fussy about the specific variety, but want to build up a variety of these lovely plants. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Beth, Sorry to hear of your misfortune with the seeds!! I can suggest a friend in the USA by the name of Craig Ruggles. You can mail him on email@example.com. He stays in CA. Another option is Jim Shield. There is a link to his website on my website. I must warn you, however, 'Clivianitis' may be as contagious as 'Irisites'!!! On a serious note, it is a wonderful plant and well worth the consequenses. Please visit my website and enjoy some of my Clivia photos. Once I manage embedding photos, I will post some here. Regards Dries |
Here is a link that might be useful: My Website
You can do a search for clivia seeds and probably find an abundance of sources. Lisa Mannion is a specialty grower in New Zealand will send them here to the US. She has excellent stock. Also, here in the US there is John at Floral Architecture. He has a great variety of plants and he sells seeds as well. Always fresh but the last time I got some from him, they were a bit spendy. He does do auctions on ebay and he is a very honest seller. Good luck. |
dries, what beautiful Clivias, especially the varigated one! I'm drooling all over my keyboard! :) Arum |
Park Seed, in South Carolina, has yellow seed -- they guarantee one will be so -- priced near twenty dollars for two seeds. Haven't tried them, but may be worth the try. |
Check out ebay as well, lots of seed being sold on there. Some nice yellows as well |

A couple years ago, I got seed from the American Clivia society. Seems to me it was quite reasonable but it is an "as available" item. It included pretty good instructions too. |

I have a pet peeve w/Parks Seeds..In 82, I ordered green leaf Clivia from them..I got 5 seeds for 7.99 or so. The seeds took a while, but finally germinated and to this day I've a beautiful plant that blooms yrly. 2 Christmas' ago, my son ordered variegated clivia seeds for me, from Parks..I did everything for those seed, and nada..3 months later still no leaves..I wrote them, and they said they couldn't or wouldn't refund my money or send me new seeds because of the time allowed. Before I knew Ebay had them availbe, I again ordered from Parks. Months went by w/o a word..I finally wrote them asking where the seeds were, and they wrote back none were in stock. I'm almost positive they thought I'd reorder, then say the seeds didn't germinate so they'd have to refund my money.. I used to be a 'big time spender' at Parks, but no more. I'm not one to complain about nurseries, believe me, I do a lot of online ordering, but when someone doesn't even bother to write back, lies to me saying the seeds are sold out, they're on my ***t list..Toni |

Hi, The best time to acquire seeds here in the USA is about March/April. There are so many types available. There aren't really any large, reliable sellers (yet!) similar to the listings that come out of South Africa every Jan-March. If you can wait a few months, I"ll have some available. Doug Eckel (cycads on ebay) usually lists his seeds for reasonable prices. He is also a reliable source. Also, some of the prices I saw here were outrageous. Most yellow seeds should only be a few dollars at most. Some unique crosses may sell for more. When you get up to $10-15 for a seed of unknown potential, it should have some great parents and variegation. These will take about 4-5 years to flower, and you may lose a percentage along the way. In comparison, flowering sized yellows (all types of flowers)are available through Solomone's nursery for somewhere in the $30's, and they will flower this year. On the West Coast, Home Depot and Lowes have yellow clivias in March for less than $30 flowering size. Hoepfully this helps. Craig Ruggles |

In the Garden
Become a master gardener
Have you ever wondered if you would enjoy being a master gardener? If you are interested in learning about horticulture and teaching it to others, you may want to consider applying for the program. Applications for the next class of Master Gardeners in Henrico County are being accepted now. Training begins in January. The class is limited to 24 participants, and the cost is $135. A personal interview is required as part of the admissions process. "We're looking for someone who has a true interest in learning more about horticulture and who wants to help impart that knowledge to others," says Jim Smith, a Henrico Master Gardener who serves on the training committee. Those selected for the program receive intensive training in horticulture and related subjects in exchange for a 50-hour volunteer commitment in the first year. "We want people who are interested in staying for more than one year," adds Smith who has been with the program since 1996. Master Gardeners staff a telephone helpline, give plant clinics, provide plant diagnostic services, teach classes in schools, and take on other projects approved by the Extension Service. "Our Master Gardeners have made such a difference," says Lisa Sanderson, the Henrico Extension Agent who has coordinated the program in Henrico for the last five years. "Their volunteer hours add up to the equivalent of between five and six additional Extension staff members." "Since 2009, Henrico Master Gardeners have logged more than 10,000 educational contacts," she adds. Classes meet on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the Henrico County Human Services Building on Parham Road. Classes run from Jan. 22 until the end of March. Before the first class, participants are paired with mentors at a luncheon on Jan. 10, 2013. During the course of the program, participants are required to take open-book mid-term and final examinations. The tuition covers the cost of the instruction, the Master Gardener training manual, and the Virginia Cooperative Extension Pest Management Guide. Classes are taught by a variety of instructors with expertise in specific fields. Topics include basic biology, plant propagation and diagnostics for diseases and insects, pruning, lawn care, fruit and vegetable gardening, flower gardening, indoor plant care, and landscape design. "We cover a lot of material in a relatively short period of time," says Sanderson. "The training is very comprehensive," she adds. "You don't have to be a well-seasoned gardener before you enter the program. You just have to be committed to learning and volunteering." Of all her job duties, Sanderson says she enjoys working with the Master Gardeners most. "The people are really wonderful," she says. "I can truly say being a Henrico Master Gardener has been a joy," adds Jim Smith. "I'm an environmentalist and a conservationist, and I'm able to make a contribution." Smith also enjoys working with the Henrico Master Gardener Association, which helps administer the program. "I really enjoy the administrative and management part," he says. The application is available online, or you can call the Extension Office at 501-5160 to have one mailed to you. The application deadline is Oct. 26. |

Marc Weisbrot of the Center for Economic and Policy Research writes to say he does not care to be described as a "Chavez supporter" as I identified him in a recent post.
His explanation follows in the link below.
Weisbrot says, "I have written much more favorable comments -- in columns, op-eds, etc. about Lula, President Kirchner of Argentina, and others than I have about Chavez. But no one would call me a 'Lula-supporter' or a 'Kirchner supporter,' and I am not a supporter of any of these presidents. Nor was I a supporter of John Kerry just because I have written critically of George W. Bush."
Fair enough.

Article by Jefferson Morley, "referencing the story, which was first circulated by a 20-year old Italian logger who calls himself Stab."
I'm an Italian-American (Buffalo, NY) who has to unfortunately retire and continue living in Italy because of family ties. I also have to admit after living in Italy for a long time, I am not so proud of the Italian part. When you're dealing with Italians you better put a barrier and start out with a great distrust of these these people. As my father, an Italian immigrant to America always told me, you can trust an Italian as an individual, but you better never ever trust the Italians generally as a race. Harsh words, all true and no, it's not racisms!! Just facts, and if anyone thinks for one minute that Italy is a true blue ally to America, he better double check his brain!!

Thanks for correcting your mistake in labeling me.
Here is a letter I sent to the Washington Post regarding Jackson Diehl's recent column on Venezuela, which the Post will not print. It refutes his claim that poverty has increased under Chavez, which few economists would take seriously. I think your readers would benefit from it, because the statistics you referred them to are out of date, and as I note in the letter (below), the poverty numbers you cited (from the first quarter of 2004) reflect the increase in poverty from the opposition oil strike of 2002-2003, not the current situation. Poverty rates are very sensitive to downturns and upswings in the economy, as you can see from the data that you linked to.
172 words
To the Editor:
Jackson Diehl's claim (September 26) that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez "has managed to increase the poor population by a quarter" is wrong. Mr. Diehl looks only at cash income, ignoring the fact that about 40% of the country now has subsidized food; millions also have health care for the first time, and increased access to education. Counting only the value of the subsidized food would give a substantially reduced poverty rate. Also, even ignoring these enormous improvements in the lives of the poor, the poverty numbers Diehl cites are now a year and a half old and out of date. [1] These reflect an increase in the poverty rate that resulted from the opposition-led oil strike of 2002-2003, which crippled the Venezuelan economy.[2] There is no question that Venezuela's poor majority have benefited from the current government; that's why Chavez and his allied political parties keep winning landslide election victories.
Mr. Diehl's allegations regarding the Venezuelan government's "destruction of political freedom" and support for guerilla movements are also without factual foundation or evidence.
Mark Weisbrot
[1] The 53 percent figure he cites, counting cash income only, is from the first quarter of 2004.
[2] In fact the entire increase in the poverty rate that Diehl cites is attributable to the oil strike of 2002-2003; the poverty rate fell from 42.8 percent to 39.1 percent from 1999-2001. See "A Note on Venezuela's Economic Performance," http://www.cepr.net/publications/venezuela_2005_06.pdf page 4.

The modest storefront recording studio at 760 Union Avenue in Memphis, Tennessee, played an outsize role in rock-and-roll history. And of the many historic moments that occurred there, none is more famous than the impromptu jam session by four young rock-and-roll giants that took place on this day in 1956—a session enshrined in rock-and-roll legend as the one-and-only gathering of the "Million Dollar Quartet."
The studio at 760 Union was run by Sam Phillips, the legendary producer whose Sun Records had launched Elvis Presley on his path toward stardom two years earlier with the release of his first single, "It's Alright Mama" (1954). Phillips' decision to sell Presley's contract to RCA Victor in 1955 for only $35,000 is easy to question in retrospect, but it provided Sun Records with the operating capital it needed in order to record and promote the parade of future stars who had descended on Memphis hoping to follow in Elvis' footsteps.
Among those stars was Carl Perkins, the rockabilly legend who was in the studio on December 4, 1956, to record a follow-up to his smash hit from earlier that year: "Blue Suede Shoes." Hanging out in the booth was Perkins' good friend Johnny Cash, already a star in his own right after his breakthrough hits, "Folsom Prison Blues" (1955) and "I Walk The Line" (1956). And playing piano for a $15 session fee was the brash, wild, but not-yet-famous Jerry Lee Lewis, whose career-making Sun single "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" was set for release just a few weeks later. Four songs into Perkins' session, all work came to an end with the arrival of an unexpected drop-in guest: Elvis Presley himself.
While recording engineer Jack Clement ran a tape that would not be discovered for more than 20 years, Sam Phillips—ever the promoter—had the presence of mind to summon a photographer from the local paper to capture images of Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins gathered around a piano singing the kind of music they'd all grown up on: gospel. The caption under the photo that ran in the next day's Memphis Press-Scimitar was "Million Dollar Quartet." The label quickly caught on among rock-and-roll fans who would not actually get the chance to hear the recording made on this day in 1956 until 1981, when the first portions of the lost tapes were discovered and released.

The light is at the end of the tunnel is here for the Aussie developed 3DS eShop title Fractured Soul. After long last the game will be out this Thursday in Australia and Europe, the game has previously been released all the way back in September in the US. If you think that's long, the game has been in development for much, much longer.
But the release date isn't the real news, the pricing is. In a 'stand against exorbitant Aussie game prices', developers Endgame have priced the game cheaper here in Australia and in Europe where the game will go on sale for $9.99AUD and 7.99 Euro.
Endgame say in a statement on their site that "Sure, it's just one indie game. It probably won't change the world. But at least it's proof – proof to gamers here in Australia that high game prices are unnecessary and unacceptable."
It's a start! Look for our review of Fractured Soul soon.

I currently have 1bbl going. Looking to use an actuator to dump my mash. Any one know a good / budget compressor? I'll need an actuator that can lift about 250lbs. Looking at a .5 - 1 gallon tank as well. Found one here. http://www.surpluscenter.com/item.as...86&catname=air
coalcrackerbrewing.blogspot.comVintage Kegerator Build1 BBL Tippy Dump
hate to bust your bubble (so to speak) but " ..other low pressure applications.." this will mean that you will need a huge diameter air cylinder. take a look at : http://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-air-cylinders/=jd0qla, a 2 " cylinder can get you over 250 lbs but thats at 100 psi. Do you keg at all? you could use co2 and a pressure regulator. what is the mechanism to dump the tun? is it possible to use a gas spring to help with the load?
Right that pump only puts out 23psig it looks like? Normally compressed air cylinders/actuators run somewhere between 80-120psig. I would say you need a good hand valve to throttle flow to the actuator. If it's connected to an air supply that is suddenly turned on, actuators tend to be very jerky and make sudden movements. Maybe something like a winch would be better in this application? To use a compressed gas cylinder to operate an actuator requires a very very important safety tip. There must be a pressure relief installed in the line going to the actuator, it must be rated at less than the actuator maximum working pressure, AND it must be sized (cv) to handle the maximum flow through the line. Otherwise it cannot be done safely. Actuators and valves can and have literally exploded killing people when they were overpressurized from a cylinder. I.e. the maximum pressure on the actuator being maybe 200psig connected to a cylinder with 2600psig pressure can make baaddd things happen.
Might have to forgo this idea. Didn't realize there was so much to it.. I have a stand that looks similar to the MoreBeer stand. However my design has a pivot point 2 inches in from the edge. so it will tip like this \__

electromagnetic radiation
electromagnetic radiation
Energy propagated through free space or through a material medium in the form of electromagnetic waves. Examples include radio waves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X rays, and gamma rays. Electromagnetic radiation exhibits wavelike properties such as reflection, refraction, diffraction, and interference, but also exhibits particlelike properties in that its energy occurs in discrete packets, or quanta. Though all types of electromagnetic radiation travel at the same speed, they vary in frequency and wavelength, and interact with matter differently. A vacuum is the only perfectly transparent medium; all others absorb some frequencies of electromagnetic radiation.
