Palm oil fell for the first time in four days on speculation that a rally to the highest level in almost three months was overdone.
The contract for September delivery dropped as much as 0.8 percent to 2,449 ringgit ($775) a metric ton on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives and ended the morning session at 2,454 ringgit. Futures advanced yesterday to 2,468 ringgit, the highest price at close for the most active contract since March 22. Palm for local physical delivery in July was at 2,460 ringgit yesterday, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Exports from Malaysia jumped 18 percent to 709,860 tons in the first 15 days of this month, Intertek said June 15. Shipments gained 16 percent to 707,148 tons in the same period, with exports to Pakistan expanding almost 18 times to 107,650 tons from a month earlier, SGS (Malaysia) Sdn. said on June 17. The two surveyors are scheduled to release estimates for the first 20 days of the month tomorrow.
Traders are waiting "to see if the exports momentum will be maintained," said Vijay Mehta, a director of Commodity Links Pte. in Singapore. "Fundamentally, the market is well-supported. The lower side is also limited because at the lower levels, a lot of support is coming."
Soybean oil for December delivery gained 0.5 percent to 47.81 cents a pound on the Chicago Board of Trade, while soybeans for delivery in November were little changed at $12.895 a bushel. Refined palm oil for January delivery declined 0.9 percent to 6,218 yuan ($1,014) a ton on the Dalian Commodity Exchange, while soybean oil for delivery in the same month fell 0.4 percent to 7,658 yuan.

I'm considering going with a contractor recommended to me by my next door neighbor. The quote given is as follows for 2-ton units:
(2) Carrier Performance Series Heat Pump Model #25HPA6
I have a 2 story colonial-style house and there's no ductwork so the contractor will put in all new ductwork as well as 2 systems, one for each floor. The total is $18,250. Are these good systems? should I consider others? He also gave me 2 other options: 1) Two Goodman variable speed air handlers with electric back-up heat.
2) Two York variable speed air handlers with electric back-up heat.
I didn't get any model numbers for the Goodman and York systems though. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. |

Don't do the Goodman models. I would consider the York. York heatpumps have demand defrost which the carrier does not. Carrier makes good equipment too. York is often forgotten about, but they make good equipment with alot of features that some company's don't include. Its quiet equipment too. |
The Carrier Performance 25HPA6 are two stage heat pumps. Are the Goodman and York also two stage equipment? You should have model numbers for all quotes. The two stages provide better comfort, and may some operating costs. The TC-PHP is a basic 5-day thermostat. Ask about upgrading the thermostats to Infinity controllers. You will be able to control the humidity in the summer and have several other nice features. |

About O & P Rescue
About Our Rescue Group...
The major goal of O and P Rescue is to save homeless, stray, and dogs that are in high kill shelters. It is extremely unfair to any dog to be euthanized for any reason other than a serious medical issue where they are suffering.

We will educate the community the importance of spaying and neutering of pets.
O and P Rescue is a small volunteer ran rescue that runs only on donations from the public and our fundraising events. Without the help of fellow animal lovers we wouldn't have been able to accomplish the rescue of these dogs. All of the wonderful people that help keep us going are volunteers and do what they do for the animals out of the goodness of their hearts.
Our dogs are treated with love and care every day because we want to be them to feel the love they deserve.

'Tyler Perry's Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor' Has Ludicrous Title, New Trailer
Movie News By Nathan Adams on December 20, 2012 | Comments (2)Given its incredibly long, semi-coloned title, you would probably think that Tyler Perry's Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor was a sequel to something, or at least an adaptation of one in a series of popular books, right? Nope. It turns out this movie is just an original story by Tyler Perry, and its title is just the latest monument that this master of self-promotion has built in honor of himself. Perry's ridiculous promotional tactics aside, how does the movie look? He's not starring in it himself, and there's no cross-dressing humor, so maybe it's not going to be all that bad, right? Nah, actually, from the looks of this trailer, it seems like Confessions of a Marriage Counselor is probably going to be one of the early contenders for worst movie of 2013.
Emily Watson and Company Add Some Girls to Cast of 'Some Girls'
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on March 7, 2012 | Be the First To CommentJust on the heels of the announcement that Kristen Bell had signed on to be the first of Adam Brody's many ex-girlfriends in Some Girls, THR has a report that a whole bevy of additional actresses have come out of the woodwork to fill out the ranks of Brody's former flames. You see, Some Girls is an adaptation of a Neil LaBute play about a young writer who is looking to take stock of his past romantic entanglements and gain closure with each of his exes before he moves forward in his life and marries his current fiancée. Bell is said to be playing a character named Bobbi, a whip-smart little lady who Brody's character walked away from without so much as a word. And with this new casting announcement, it's looking like the Jennifer Getzinger-directed film version of this story will be including four other girls that have a bone to pick with the reflective protagonist as well. The biggest name of the bunch is Emily Watson, who will be playing a married woman named Lindsay who Brody's character had an affair with. Watson has had a whole bunch of great roles before this, but she's probably best known for her Oscar nominated performances in Breaking the Waves and Hilary and Jackie. To say that she adds some pedigree to this production would be something of an understatement.
Kristen Bell Will Get Jilted By Adam Brody in 'Some Girls'
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on March 5, 2012 | Be the First To CommentA couple months ago it was reported that The OC's Adam Brody was attached to star in an adaptation of a Neil LaBute play called Some Girls. To be helmed by Mad Men and Flight of the Conchords director Jennifer Getzinger, and shot from a screenplay by LaBute himself, Some Girls is one of those naval-gazing relationship stories about a character taking stock of their romantic history. In this case, said character is a writer who feels like he has to get closure with his ex-girlfriends before he can enter into a marriage with his current fiancée. That means flying all across the country to track these girls down and get a little of the old face-to-face. And, for this movie, it means a need to cast a gaggle of young actresses. So far, Getzinger and company seem to be off to a good start. THR reports that the first female member of the Some Girls cast has been signed, and it's none other than Veronica Mars' Kristen Bell. Reportedly, Bell will be playing a character named Bobbi, a super-smart girl that Brody's character walked out on years earlier without a word. Predictably, she doesn't have a very high opinion of him these days.

The wow factor in current mortgage rates
July 25, 2011
30-year mortgage rates have fallen for eight straight weeks now, and are now at the extremely low level of 4.49 percent. Still, the real wow factor in current mortgage rates can be found in 15-year mortgages.
15-year mortgage rates are at 3.68 percent, which is close to an all-time low. What's striking is that this is 0.81 percent below the level of 30-year mortgage rates.
Over the eleven previous years so far in this century, the spread between 15-year and 30-year mortgage rates has ranged between 0.31 percent and 0.66 percent, so the 0.81 percent spread between current mortgage rates is very unusual territory.
Making the most of current mortgage rates
Even though the more compressed repayment schedule of a 15-year mortgage would result in significantly higher monthly payments than a 30-year mortgage, current mortgage rates indicate the anyone buying a house or refinancing a mortgage should at least consider the shorter option.
Over the long run, of course, the amount of principal involved in a 15-year and 30-year mortgage would be the same. However, the interest you would pay on a 15-year mortgage is considerably less. This is true in general because you would be repaying the loan in half the time, but it is especially true now because of that unusually wide spread between 15-year and 30-year mortgage rates.
While this is an opportunity for new home buyers to save a great deal of money over the course of a mortgage, the opportunity represented by 15-year mortgage rates should be especially compelling for anyone who is refinancing.
If you are several years into paying down a 30-year mortgage, you effectively no longer have a 30-year loan. Your remaining principal is spread over however many years you have left on the mortgage. For example, if you are ten years into a 30-year mortgage, you effectively have 20-year loan remaining. At that point, it might not be too big a stretch to refinance into a 15-year loan. The exceptionally low level of 15-year mortgage rates may mean the increase in your monthly payments is manageable, and in the long run your interest savings will be substantial.

Cairn Energy has been forced to suspend its operations on one of its rigs in the Arctic after four Greenpeace campaigners scaled the rig early on Tuesday morning in a bid to stall oil drilling in the region.
The UK oil and gas explorer has plans to drill four wells in the waters of Baffin Bay Basin, off Greenland's west coast, but the recent BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has raised fears over the risks of offshore drilling.
Cairn announced last week that its first well had shown evidence of hydrocarbons.
A Greenpeace ship, the Esperanza, has been in a stand-off with the Danish navy off Greenland for the past few days. Many environmentalists argue that Arctic drilling is fraught with risks, from drifting icebergs to hostile weather, but as oil companies scramble to find new reserves around the world to meet demand its reserves have caught they eye of the industry.
Wood Mackenzie, a consultancy, estimates there could be 20bn barrels of oil and gas in Greenland – part of the Arctic-wide reserves the US Geological Survey believes could account for a quarter of the world's undiscovered oil and gas.
Greenpeace said: "The climbers have enough supplies to occupy the hanging tents for several days. If they succeed in stopping drilling for just a short time then the operators, Britain's Cairn Energy, will struggle to meet a tight deadline to complete the exploration before winter ice conditions force it to abandon the search for oil off Greenland until next year."
Greenland's government has hit back at the campaigners, describing the move as "an illegal act, ignoring the rules of democracy".
"The ongoing drilling has therefore stopped and once again Greenpeace has succeeded in stopping the possibilities for Greenland in the effort to secure the economical basis for living conditions for people", said Kuupik Kleist, Greenland's premier.
"The cabinet regards Greenpeace's action as very serious and an illegal attack on the country's constitutional rights. It is worrying that Greenpeace, in their hunt for media exposure, violate security rules made to protect human lives and the environment…Following an intensive inspection programme, is it clear that Cairn's drilling programme has been conducted to very high standards of safety. All regulatory requirements have been followed conscientiously and the Cabinet has full confidence in Cairn's activities in Greenland."
For Cairn, any delay is certainly unwelcome given the upcoming winter. This interruption may only be temporary this time but expect more protests over the coming weeks.

A floor and tile guy came out yesterday to give us an estimate on the house we are building. He said don't put green board 5 1/2 feet from the floor in both showers but use the Certainteed siding. He told us the green board would rot? Ever heard of this recommendation???? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Don't use green board use a cement based product manufactured for tile underlayment. I would ask the installer why use siding when you can use products meant for tile underlayment!! Get at least 3 estimates with details on materials used. |

I am planning on painting my previously painted white vinyl shutters black. I have bought Rust Oleum universal paint in satin black. Do I need to use steel wool to rought them up or would a sufficient cleaning suffice? Also, is this the right paint to use? I am removing them from the house to paint. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Well, I removed one set yesterday and cleaned with a scrub brush. The paint started peeling off from the sides and some onto the front. It appears they have been painted with latex paint! I tried smoothing out the surface with steel wool. The water hose was even bringing off the paint! What should I do? Just wash the rest of them with a cloth,soap and water and paint over? The paint is not peeling on the shutters prior to washing. I am afraid this is turning into a much larger job than I intended! :( |
- Posted by booger3914 (My Page) on Thu, May 27, 10 at 6:45
I've been contemplating the same thing. I think I will just buy new shutters in the color I want. I don't see paint sticking to the shutters long term, especially the ones getting sun for most of the day. |
Well...you've got some VERY good spray-paint! The Universal stuff is awesome. Very good feedback from our clients/customers. IF it's an easily-peeling Latex paint....hmmmm....I'd maybe do what Booger suggests...just buy new! IF they hadn't been separately painted, you could just scrub-'em clean & use the Universal. You'd have a fantastic "stick" then! Faron |
I read lots of posts on a bunch of sites all talking about reasons for not painting my vinyl shutters a different color. I still decided to go against normal advise and paint my vinyl shutters a different color. I documented how I did it and will be periodically posting how they held up in the long run here. http://diy-guide.blogspot.com/2010/11/painting-vinyl-shutters.html |

I'm about ready to start making some rustic cement stairs (through our garden area)at our new lakefront cabin. I've got a pile of pebbles (left over from house renovation)and some portland cement but I don't have any sand. (nearest building supply place is 50 miles away!) Can I just use "dirt" instead of the sand? Thanks!
Sandy |
Follow-Up Postings:
Sandy, Dirt is a difficult one, unless it is sort of craggy. Dirt tends to be more 'rounded'. If you decide to use this also add pebbles or some crushed rock if you have it. Your stairs will likely be rustic and may not be durable for the long run, but fun for a little while. Now about the rounded versus craggy. Cement is a 'dry glue' it does better if it has nooks and crags and sharp edges, as sand does to allow for it to adhere to all of the surfaces. After you have thoroughly mixed the dry ingredients, sand/cement/dirt etc then add water it hydrates the cement and bonds all the areas together. Dirt, dependent on where the area is tends to have more composted leaf and needle, and other organic material, bat, worm, slug, snake digested materials that as they decompose do not have sharp surfaces. The other difficulty with dirt is dependent on your area and either water run off or natural minerals in the soil you may find some area in your mix that 'harden' better than other, which could be decieiving. But if you have a little extra dirt and some cement you can always try, if you have some saw dust and glue (Elmers, white, wood, or other) try adding that to your sample mix. If things are not anywhere set up in hmmm, say 6 hours, then I would not venture further with the stair idea. Be creative, Dena |
Certain types of "dirt" have been used successfully in making concrete, but unless you have an analysis done by a lab to confirm the usability, odds are it will fail. It all comes down to the chemical content and unfortumately most dirt does not measure up. Even if you run a test batch that looks good initially, you could encounter serious deterioration over a fairly short span of time simply due to the chemistry being wrong. Commercial concrete production is a highly controlled affair and even then contaminants (often from the surrounding soil) can wreck the mix. Graded sand is cheap & reliable. Personally, I'd stick with known quantities...especially for something like stairs. Best of luck --- Tango |
I would make a small batch and test it out. They made adobe for years so who knows. Make a few bricks with it, let them cure real good and then try soaking them in some water and see if they stay together. good luck and let us know how it goes. |

The Lord of Nightmares Trilogy | Published 01 November 2011 |
Dance of the Damned and Golem are now available for your Kindle, Nook, iOS device, or at your friendly local game store and our webstore! These exciting novels, each masterfully penned by hobby games industry-leading authors, deepen two of FFG's most enduring settings while standing apart as well crafted narratives in their own right. Whether you're a fan of Lovecraftian terror or science fiction noir, download your copies today or head to your favorite brick-and-mortar bookseller. (Please remember that electronic copies of of these novels are excluded from the Mythos and Event promo card offers found in the backs of the paperback versions.)
Past and future
In Dance of the Damned, a letter from an estranged friend drags Miskatonic University librarian Daisy Walker into a long-forgotten nightmare, where she must face her dark past to solve a terrifying mystery. But her fate will soon intertwine with that of Tony Morgan, a bounty hunter forced into a dangerous job by a secretive employer. As a growing cult seeks to awaken ancient powers and a shady corporation works to cover its twisted agenda, these two unlikely heroes must search for truth in the midst of horror.
Dance of the Damned is the first novel in The Lord of Nightmares Trilogy, a series based on the wildly popular board game Arkham Horror. Its author, Alan Bligh, is a full-time writer and game designer from Nottingham, England. His credits have included radio scripts, various roleplaying games such as Dark Heresy, Rogue Trader, and Cthulhu Britannia, and the Imperial Armour book series of science fiction wargaming expansions for Forge World.
Meanwhile, Golem tells the story of one bioroid's hunt for justice and humanity in the not-too-distant dystopian future of Android. When talented New Angeles Detective wakes up in bed with a woman whose name he can't recall, this seemingly harmless mystery indicates a much larger problem. After all, as one of the few synthetic life forms in the New Angeles Police Department, Drake 3G12RC isn't accustomed to forgetting... or even sleeping. But his personal issues are forced to wait when he and his human partner Shelly Nolan are assigned a high profile murder investigation–one that will change his world.
The first book in The Identity Trilogy, Golem is a brilliantly woven thriller by Mel Odom, author of over 140 sci-fi and fantasy works, and bestselling writer of Stalker Analog and Lethal Interface. Check out Mr. Odom's interview (parts one and two) for more on his influences.

"You look and see the whole thing changing," he adds. "All the old ones will be going."
Johnnie's is already gone. Ed Maestas, the unofficial mayor of Larimer Street, was diagnosed with leukemia in the fall of '97 and died soon after; the restaurant that was supposed to replace his market never opened. The Elbow Room, which connects with Manuel's, was closed by the city years ago for general bad behavior and never reopened. Plans for that prize corner, and the century-old building that occupies it, have been stalled by the feuding Katchen heirs. They're the ones who are evicting Manuel's.
They're the ones who will tear the buildings down.
Because the neighborhood never got its historic designation, the owners can do whatever they want with that corner. It should make a swell parking lot.
Ironically, the neighborhood's push for historic designation was recently revived--too late to save La Casa de Manuel, but perhaps in time to preserve a few other Victorian storefronts that might otherwise be on the brink of distinction. City planner Dave Becker, who compiled the plan for northeast downtown, is now working with a committee to get landmark status for the area. They should have a draft of guidelines--the absence of such guidelines killed the last attempt a half-dozen years ago--in a month, and then there will be public meetings; with any luck, the proposal will go before the Denver Landmark Commission and City Council next spring. And in the meantime, there have been smaller success stories throughout the neighborhood between 20th and 26th streets and Lawrence and Blake. The Burlington Hotel has been restored to a fine shine. The old Bronco Inn has been bought by the folks who own Pasquini's. And around the corner from the old Elbow Room, Diamond Lil's--yes, the adult bookstore complete with live girls--is about to embark on an authentic, historic renovation. Its business, however, will remain thoroughly modern.
In a city intent on transforming itself, you have to thank God for small favors--the homegrown success stories that give a town its flavor.
"There's no comparison between Casa de Manuel and Wolfgang Puck," says Kathleen Brooker, the director of Historic Denver who's serving on the committee pushing the Ballpark Neighborhood's historic designation. "I just want to get the district done," she says. "It can always be redone, but it can never be replaced."
And the rest is history.

Eminence Independent Schools recently completed one of the final steps needed to break ground on an historic $8 million expansion and renovation project. The board voted to approve bids and approve the sale of bonds that secures the funding for the project. "As excited as I am about it, I'm more excited about what we're going to do with it," EIS Superintendent Buddy Berry said. "The way we are transforming student learning is the most exciting."
Wish No. 300 granted by the Henry County Second Wind Dreams Committee to a senior brings to mind the saying, it's the simple things that matter. Committee members who work to bring happiness to seniors brought Larry his request — two new pairs of sweat pants, Extension agent Maryellen Garrison, an organizer of Second Wind Dreams, said. This is pretty typical of what geriatric specialist P.K. Beville, founder of the international non-profit, realized after visiting with many seniors in nursing homes.
After pleading guilty last month to charges of kidnapping and tampering with physical evidence, Glenda Holcomb was sentenced in Henry County Circuit Court last Thursday. Holcomb was sentenced to 10 years for the kidnapping charge and 5 years for the charge of tampering with physical evidence, with those sentences to run concurrently for a total of 10 years. However, she received an alternative sentence of 180 days for her part in a 2013 kidnapping and assault.
In the early morning hours of December 27, 2014, two unknown individuals unlawfully used stolen credit cards at the Shelbyville Kroger and Huck's Food and Fuel, according to a news release from the Kentucky State Police. Purchases between the two businesses exceeded $700. The suspects, possibly a caucasian male and African-American female, are believed to be driving a small gray or silver SUV. Photographs obtained from the security camera footage show the individuals sought by the Kentucky State Police in connection with this offense.
Don't count on finding savings from merging the duties of jailers with the sheriff's office here, Henry County officials say. If anything, they believe that would cost taxpayers more. Kentucky's constitution requires the election of jailers to serve their counties— even in the 41 counties around the state without jails.
Lamentations 3:23 inspired the name of Daybreak Baptist Church, which recently held its first service at 4323 N. Main St. in Eminence, according to Pastor Michael Fitzgerald.
A 27-year-old Carrollton woman died in a Tuesday single-vehicle crash at 5:21 p.m. on Highway 55 near Campbellsburg, according to Kentucky State Police.
The vehicle driven by Kimberly A. Kindoll was traveling southbound on 55 at the time of the accident, when it left the west side of the road for unknown reasons, according to a state police news release. The vehicle came to a rest after striking a tree. The Henry County Coroner pronounced Kindoll dead at the scene. Authorities say she was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash.
Kids in New Castle will soon have a safer walk to school. The City of New Castle secured a federal Safe Routes to School grant in the amount of $250,000 that will allow it to install an approximately 2,600-foot sidewalk connecting the town's elementary school to residents of the Castle Creek Subdivision.

Hi All!
I normally don't start my Dahlia Tubers until sometime in March but a friend ask me to start the a tuber for a project. I placed it in a medium on 12/29 and had to take 2 of 3 cuttings on 1/22. My question has to do with the image below. I've always placed my cuttings in water and have had a great amount of success. The loss rate is negligible. Some will show root structure right away and then others will take on a for a lack of a word a pustual type of formation. Can someone tell me what this is called? And why it happens? Thanks in advance. Jim This is the plant with the cuttings. You probably are well aware of the heavy snow in Upstate NY. I live just outside and East of Syracuse. We were very fortunate as the snowfall was nothing compared to 20 to 40 miles just North of here (141" of snow in Redfield NY during a Lake Effect Snow onslaught of last week. I'm not sure how much more they got out of this storm as we had 28". So I just thought I'd throw in a couple of winter shots. I can't wait for Spring either! Will my Compost piles ever thaw? I wish I loved the outdoors in Winter as much as our pet dog. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Cats, Now that is snowfall. Your dog is beautiful and looks right at home protecting his/her drifts. Sure hope you have a snowblower..... Do you use rooting hormone on your cuttings? The photo looks like clumped up rooting hormone, or else like a colonized mold or bacteria. Are the stems rotten or mushy under that white stuff? I think you're the first one I've heard to use just water for rooting and with good results too. The PVC (?) tubules are a good idea to keep them upright- very clever. Despite the snowy photos, I've got spring fever from seeing your dahlia growth. The first mini irises and crocus are blooming out here so it won't be long to unpacking time for the tubers. |
Hi Jim, Love your pictures of the snow... wish we had some of it down here in Atlanta. We had about 7" about 50 miles north of here a week ago but none here. Your cuttings look great also and a great way to get them started. I have never tried them in just water but a lot of other plants seem to root like that so why not dahlias. The white calluses on the stem are a prelude to the roots starting. They will show up in about 7-10 days and then the roots a few days later. In using Oasis Wedges I usually see some roots around 20 days for most cuttings but some take longer than that and Oasis says 28 days at least. Have you tried the wedges? I hope the snow melts soon. |
I wanted to paste this image with my last reply by saying I know that many hate the thoughts of winter and cold. Syracuse is known as the "Snowiest of the Largest Cities in the USA and possibly the World". But when you live in this sort of clime you have to somehow live with it. I think the below image is one say's that: Like many we had very mild weather up until 1/15 and this was the first heavy snowfall of the year and taken shortly after the sunset at 05:13 PM. If I had to put a title it would be "Look at the Brighter Side"! I hope you agree. Jim |
A good thing about the snow Jim, is how insulating and quiet it is, let alone beautiful! That sunset photo is wonderful. I think Nova is a great name for a dog on her new adventure with you as owner. I bet she's a great garden companion and happy that she found a decent owner. Below is a link to oasis products for rooting. Oasis is the light green foam block product used by florists to stabalize stems in arrangements. It comes in all sorts of colors now for that purpose. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Oasis supplies
Hi Pochella! Regarding the Oasis Wedge. Believe it or not I have some that I've never used and was going to give it away. I just never knew that's what it was called. But now comes another thought and question? I was seriously thinking of showing a few Dahlias at our local NY State Fair this year in the novice group category whereas they devote 2 full days of the 12 day run to the Dahlia. I noticed the Dahlia's in Show had wedged blocks of wood for stabilizing purposes. I know there are rules to be followed but I didn't notice, do they use this Oasis product as a "wedge", or can it be used? Although I can see a wood wedge might be more practical. In your first post you mentioned the use of the PVC(?) for the cuttings. It's actually not PVC pipe. I did use that originally and you can see those in the already grown container. (I have the time and I like to water within the soil medium as there's less evaporation.) What you see in the cutting container's are those Christmas 3' tall Candy Canes that I purchased for like 0.25 cents on an after Christmas Sale a couple of years ago. Much easier to cut :>) than PVC pipe. So for me they hold a two fold purpose, for cuttings and later watering when the cutting is surrounded by soil. You also mentioned the benifit of snow as an insulator. I'm sure we've had over 80" to 90" of snow since about the 20th of Jan. (And believe me, I'm thanking the Good Lord we don't live 30 or more miles further North where some areas have had 150" to 200" during the same period of time. And believe it or not I was fishing on Jan. 15th which is more rare than the amount of snow. We had 60 degree temps after Jan 1st. The other day I had to snowblow the large amounts of snow away from the deck as I could no longer add to the pile and the ground underneath is not frozen. So I hope it can stay in this condidtion for a few more day's into March as the Sun is getting higher and what we have now on the ground (well over 30" in my backyard) will melt sooner than later with this situation. Again thanks for your replies. |
You'll have plenty of moisture when the snow melts Jim, be glad. Be busy with the snowblower, but be glad! I can't tell you anything about showing dahlias; others can. Maybe email a NY dahlia society for tips? You should show your dahlias! They're beautiful. I read the first two paragraphs of about 6 pages of instructions for dahlia requirements for local county and state fairs and had to bail out. Not my cup of tea. It started looking to me like the comic you see about dogs, if you've seen that one: "What you say to your dog. What your dog hears: "blah blah blah blah...." LOL |

A lot of fairs have garden club rules for showing & have garden club judges & some have dahlia judges in the dahlia section & go by ADS rules. At the NW WA Fair dahlias are displayed in bottles & you can use just about anything you want to hold them up as long as it doesn't go above the rim of the container. You can use oasis if you want but I wouldn't use the wedges-- they're far too pricey to waste like that. You can cut up the cheaper stuff from the local craft store, though. I usually use Sahara-- that's the dried/silk flower equivalent of oasis because it's firmer & you don't need it to soak up water since the blooms are in water already-- and it doesn't bruise the stems like wooden wedges can. |
Hi Plantlady! As always thank you for the info that is always so helpful. I've taken the time to paste several images from the 2006 State Fair Show that ran from the end of Aug into Sept. They're not the best quality photos but certainly refreshing to look at as we think of times to come. I've had a number of individuals who have said that I should enter some of my blossoms for this Show. I'm not in a position to be critical of anyone's hard-work and enjoyment and certainly wouldn't want anyone else to be either. Judging would be way out of my character. But as my wife said as I was taking the photos, "Gosh Jim, your (actually meaning some of your) flowers look better than these!" But I quickly pointed out that the flowers had been shown for two day's and some of the people who are showing are not here and back home hours away. Some needed to be tended to, as the clearly needed a drink. (For us it's only a 20 minute drive.) We don't have a Dahlia Society here in Syracuse as they have in Rochester and in the Southern Tier and both are out of the question for traveling at this point in time, although I'm toying with the idea of joining a Garden Club here as to better learn rules. I just got done copying the rules of the NDS and the "General Rules" of the Long Island Dahlias Society. The reasons for the photos and not trying to put you on the spot can you visibly see any "do's and don't's". You mentioned: "you can use just about anything you want to hold them up as long as it doesn't go above the rim of the container." It appears that most of the wood wedges are above in the container's, is that okay? Also when you mention: "You can use oasis if you want but I wouldn't use the wedges-- they're far too pricey to waste like that." I'm assuming you're saying wood wedges? Is that correct? If it is I would be able to cut m own instead purchasing. I also will check into the use of Sahara as you said it protects the stem better, thanks. The photos are of a few individual blossoms and a couple with group blossoms. |

The wedges I was referring to were the oasis wedges- they're quite expensive as opposed to getting the cheap stuff at a craft store & cutting it up. Support- in an ADS show there can be no support above the rim of the container- obviously, the fair in your picts. doesn't have that rule. I think if this were the NW WA fair the judges wouldn't like the supports up there showing like that- & if you can have them that high-- how high up can they go? I'd see if I could find out-- the head of the floral dept. could probably help you out there. Do's & don'ts-- some of the entries have way too many leaves to be attractive. In an ADS show one set of leaves is required but if it's a large bloom (AA or A) then sometimes 2 sets will look better. Too much clutter takes away from the look of the entry- as if they're trying to hide something. Stems in proportion the the size of blooms makes a better display, too- so the smaller the bloom the less stem needed to make it look good, but a large bloom sitting with it's neck on the rim of the pot looks uncomfortable & cramped. Nice straight stems are more attractive than crooked ones & will probably net you more points in the judging. When entering triples-- have them all looking in the same direction with one taller one in back & the two shorter ones in front the same height-- or two of the same height in back & one shorter in front-- the main thing is to have them all looking at the judge. Be sure your blooms are hardened off & in top condition -- they'll last longer & look better than the competition. Cut them the day before & put them in floralife in a dark, cool place for a few hours to drink before staging them in the containers. Cut either in the early a.m. before the sun hits them or late in the evening after they've gone to sleep. We're usually out there at 6am the day before a show, cutting & putting in buckets to harden off. Floralife in the water really helps, too. We usually don't have to replace any of our fair entries the whole week since they're in water with floralife- not foam - & can drink freely. Some people's entries have to be replaced by Tuesday- 2 days into the fair. When we first started entering in the NW WA fair there weren't too many dedicated dahlia growers entering -- more garden clubbers-- & since we followed ADS rules, we always won everything because the blooms were displayed to their best advantage & anything that I didn't think deserved a first, didn't get to go to the fair. So if it doesn't look good at home, it's not going to look good at the fair & why bother going to all the trouble of taking something that's less than the best- it's a lot of work! If your wife says your flowers look better than these, they probably do-- just say, "Yes, dear" & proceed to enter & knock their sox off!! Fairs are a good place to start because they don't have as hard & fast rules as ADS shows & you can get your feet wet there & then you're ready for the big time-- there's nothing like entering an ADS show & getting your first blues against all the hard-core dahlia growers! |
WOW! Plantlady! What a wealth of information for someone like me. I'm so glad I asked and am more happy you took from your time. Jim |
- Posted by plantlady2 NW Washington (My Page) on Thu, Feb 22, 07 at 18:39
You're welcome- always glad to help- that's why we've spent all thet time at judging school! |
- Posted by plantlady2 NW Washington (My Page) on Fri, Feb 23, 07 at 21:10
Cats39- I forgot to tell you to look at our "Dahlia Shows" album to see how dahlias are displayed in an ADS show. There's seven pages of entries from various shows around the Pacific NW. The pictures should give you a lot of hints as to what the judges are looking for in a show dahlia. If you click on an individual picture it will come up bigger & you can get a really close look at it. |

Value Unchained
Don't Forget the Supply Chain When Aiming for Consumer Product Success
Anyone who attends this week's edition of the annual CES show will see some of the most innovative consumer devices on display, everything from smartphones and smartwatches to televisions and refrigerators. With the Internet of Things (IoT) trend re-invigorating companies' efforts to connect everything to the Internet, you can be sure to see connected devices and products on display that no one has ever thought of before.
CES Packaging Trends
With another CES upon us, everyone has begun making predictions as to what this year's standout device is going to be. What will be the next handheld, wearable or drone that everyone will be clambering for in 2015? One thing that we can be sure of for 2015 is brands will be putting more and more emphasis into packaging, not in the sense of added protection or cost savings, but instead as a way of continuing their messaging and branding.
Is It Time To Outsource Your Logistics?
You started in a garage, hand manufacturing, testing and shipping each and every product. From there, your Kickstarter campaign gave you the capital and the courage to go ahead and outsource your production. While you have outsourced production, you're still handling the logistics of receiving, warehousing, order fulfillment and shipping on your own – and it has begun to be a time-consuming bottleneck that takes up more and more of your resources and time.
Big Data Analytics = Key to Successful 2015 Supply Chain Strategy
According to a recent survey by Accenture, most companies have high expectations of incorporating analytics on big data in their supply chains, but adopting it has been a challenge. In fact, 97 percent of the executives surveyed understand how big data analytics can improve their supply chain, but only 17 percent have implemented it.
The Evolution of Product Packaging – From Afterthought, to Differentiator
Product packaging was initially conceived simply to contain and protect the goods inside, with visual appeal often an afterthought. Today, however, more and more brands are realizing that packaging is actually an important final chapter in their marketing efforts.
Hyper-Speed Supply Chain + Visibility = Efficiency of Scale
The digital age has transformed the shopping experience – and as a result, consumers' expectations have skyrocketed. Consumers expect to have any and all product information right at their fingertips, wherever they are, and at all times of the day.
4 Potential Pitfalls In Your Supply Chain—And How To Protect Against Them
We've all heard the horror stories – unexpected breakdowns somewhere along the supply chain that lead to missed deadlines, adjusted schedules and consumers that ultimately aren't able to purchase your product.
The Criticality of Understanding The Customer Journey: Customer Support in eCommerce
In today's mature eCommerce world, consumers have multiple choices for where, when and how to buy their goods. The availability of what they want on the Internet has become a given, a commodity. If you search for it, you will find it, and will be able to buy it.
Real Time Visibility into the Supply Chain – Welcome to the Future
It is an exciting time for the supply chain industry.
Technology is making advances possible in all areas of the supply chain, from tools that make it easier for drivers to confirm what they're delivering and when they drop it off, to improved assembly and distribution technologies that make the back-end of the supply chain much more efficient and cost-effective.

I have the DD603I, and the power button and start button are unresponsive (the lock button still works). Any ideas as to why 2 of the 3 buttons just stopped working? Can it be repaired? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Is the lock button light lit? The unit may have been placed into child-safety keylock mode. Try pressing and HOLDING the lock button for approx 5 seconds. It'll beep once when initially pressed, then should beep again with a slightly different tone (the light will turn off). |
- Posted by bmorepanic (My Page) on Wed, Oct 2, 13 at 16:12
Next thing if that doesn't work, cut the circuit breaker to the unit and then reset it after about 30 seconds. It's got a microprocessor and they can go a bit insane from unstable power. What a cool idea to try the child lock, dadoes. |

His passion for ensuring that all families have access to the expertise they need to maximize their educational potential, investments and experiences led Powell to found ConnectEDU.

Created, developed and run by people who have worked in every area of college counseling, admissions, and career development, ConnectEDU uses information technology to connect real students and real data with real colleges, and real career opportunities.

Money plant's flowers are striking in the spring garden, but the name alludes to the round, flat seedpods that resemble coins. It's botanical name, Lunaria (as in "lunar") comes from their resemblance to the moon.
Money plant is a biennial, meaning it grows leaves the first year and flowers the second. After flowering, it dies. However, it readily reseeds itself to create a permanent stand. (If you don't want lots of seedlings, just cut off the seedpods.) It prefers part shade and moist soil.

Money plant seeds - Superb

Comments about Money Plant Seeds:
Bought for my wife as she wanted a row of these along a wall. great seed quality and a whole lot more came up than I expected. takes 2 years for flowers but so far the plants are great
Fabulous on a bank
By Clouh09
from Harrisburg, PA
I spread these on an empty bank Fall 2011 and they came up to about 6 inches. I mulched them over for the winter and this spring I was the envy of the whole neighborhood- they grew over 2 feet high. Not only did I have seeds for next year but I had the stems with empty seed pods for dried arrangements. VERY HAPPY :)
By Posty
from Michigan
A friend of mine gave me several small plants 2 years ago and what a beautiful addition to my garden! They are in full bloom now and just a delight. For me, I don't care where they pop up at but people are more particular. But I figure if that is where God wants them to grow, who am I to doubt it. I love these flowers!
Spectacular- Now all the neighbors want
By clou09
from Harrisburg PA
spread these last fall 2011 on a bare embankment between properties and have bloomed wonderfully- all the neighbors want seeds now so I purchased another 1/4 pound. Absolutely love these. Very easy to grow- spread it and forget it !

Southern California's Financial News and Talk
Welcome! You've come to Southern California's newest business and financial talk radio stations—Financial News & Talk, on AM 1510 KSPA in Orange County and the Inland Empire, and AM 1450 KFSD in San Diego's North County! Of course, you can hear Financial News & Talk anywhere in the world, via our two streaming signals on the Internet, by clicking on the Listen Live! link from any page on this website.
Both AM 1450 and AM 1510 are proud members of the Astor Broadcast Group. But even though Financial News & Talk was established in 2012, we are no "Johnny-come-lately" to the business talk radio format. Financial News & Talk has roots in AM 1000 KCEO, formerly owned by the Astor Group, and which had become Southern California's premier business and financial station since 1989. Be sure to visit our Programming pages, for AM 1510 and for AM 1450, for the complete spectrum of local and nationwide programming related to business, stocks, and advice on managing personal finances, as well as health and lifestyles programming. You can even click on each of the rotating images just above, for more information about a specific program! (To watch AM 1450 in action, just click on the "Studio Cam" image below, or click here.)
But Financial News & Talk is not just about business and finance. We also feature traffic and weather reports customized to your listening area, four times per hour during morning and afternoon drive times. (Click the image at left, or click here, to access traffic reports in your area.) What's more, on AM 1510 you can enjoy broadcasts of football games with the San Diego Chargers and the Trojans of USC! For details about AM 1510's sports programming, visit our Sports page.
As if all that weren't enough, Financial News & Talk also maintains an array of entertaining—and educational—music programming on weekends. With four superb syndications—Big Band Jump with Don Kennedy, The Sounds of Sinatra with Sid Mark, Forgotten Hollywood with Manny Pacheco, and Radio Deluxe with John Pizzarelli and Jessica Molaskey—we'll quench your thirst for classic and contemporary jazz and American standards. But that's not all: we've also created an excellent in-house production, Jazz at the Spa, hosted by L.A. radio vet Jeff Gehringer. Jeff conducts insightful interviews of all your favorite contemporary "standards" artists, as well as spinning all that fabulous music from The Great American Songbook.
Last, but certainly not least, Financial News & Talk also provides news and public-information programming. You can access up-to-the-minute information about musical, theatrical, and public-service events through our periodic Community Events Calendar announcements, and by visiting the Community Events Calendar page on this site.

Know thy neighbor…
Check out this article in The New York Times "Home and Garden" section featuring UB professor of architecture/artist Dennis Mahar, this year's artist in residence at the Albright-Knox. The accompanying slide show is incredible, as it shines a light on the artist's house on the city's West Side. The general public will, of course, get a chance to see the artist's work at the gallery, but a glimpse into the house of the artist, who has long-foraged for discarded architectural elements of the city's past, is something else entirely.
From The Times:
Mr. Maher's show at the Albright-Knox Gallery is a collaboration between him and eight local building tradespeople, whom he invited to make pieces inspired by his house using the materials of their trade. Jamillah Green, a plumber, made a delicate Jungian house from copper pipes with a tree growing inside it. Using a single door, Dan Farrell, a window and door installer, made a model that's part house, part guitar.

Have you judged me today?
May 30th
There is this great man I knew. We'll call him John. Because that was his name.
I've done a lot of crazy things in my career but probably none so challenging as serving as a facilitator for company-union labor negotiations. It was an emotional and bruising experience.
The first time I met John, a union official, he told me within five minutes that he didn't like me. He went on to explain that I was a "company man" and so he would always distrust and dislike me, no matter what. This really pissed me off.
But truth be told, I didn't like John either. He spoke in this thick, hick accent and I judged him to be an uneducated rube blindly following orders from shady union bosses who filed costly and ridiculous claims about work rules just to stonewall our progress and manipulate the negotiations.
Over a few days, John and I got to know each other better through the facilitated activities and over long lunches where we talked about our lives and families.
After the third day, he came up to me at a break and said, "I was wrong about you. I just assumed all company people were born with a silver spoon in their mouth. You weren't. You had to work for everything. I think the real reason I hated you is because I was jealous. You worked hard and got somewhere. I never did that."
I'm sure the look of shock on my face was apparent.
But I also realized that over those days I had gained a new respect for him, too. I learned that John had been dragged through 39 different schools over his 12 grades of schooling. He never really had a chance for a meaningful education or any close friendships during his entire childhood. He had bravely tried to salvage his alcoholic father, even when the man was waving a loaded gun at him as a child. And John had become a great husband, father and grandfather who always had some new pictures of the kids to show me. He was a lovely, caring man, forged by a lifetime of suffering.
I felt ashamed at how I had judged John. Getting to know the real man was a life-changing discussion and I swore never to make rash judgments about people again. I have never forgotten John's "back story" and how my initial impressions were so unfair and wrong.
Through technology like the social web, it is easier than ever to make judgments about people. Usually we only see a little avatar and some written words. Maybe a phone call if we're lucky. The technology is a convenient way to avoid personal contact. And yet, I so often hear people putting others in categories they don't deserve based on partial information.
From John, I learned that we really don't know a person until we have walked in their shoes. We don't know where they have been. We don't know how they have suffered.
You know, everybody starts out as this pure little baby with unlimited goodness and potential. Then a lifetime of hurt and crap builds up around them and who knows what it does to somebody.
There are a lot of people I know who I wish had their own "John" moment. The cattiness and politics on the social web can be so disgusting. It's too easy to give "hit and run" feedback without thinking about the person behind the avatar. Sometimes I feel like I'm watching "The Real Housewives of Facebook."
I'm not going to accomplish much with this post. Catty bitchy people will probably be catty bitchy people whether they read this or not and I realize this post is not going to provide a life-changing moment. Maybe it's more of a vent for me because sometimes people make the most audacious and hurtful assumptions and accusations when they don't even know me. It sickens me.
When our relationship is limited to 140-character sound bites, we really don't know each other. Let's give each other a break, OK? Love one another, even when it's hard to understand.

Sr. Louise Zdunich
I am puzzled by your column on the Old Testament (WCR, Sept. 22). It is unfair and inappropriate to quote only positive statements and to say the whole document is sacred or the emphasis is on God's glory. No doubt that is present but your explanation is not complete and "spins" the truth of the Old Testament. There is the traditional teaching of the Church on homosexuality. Church leaders never comment on the idea of a father offering his daughters for whatever the townspeople want to do with them. What an atrocity! Further in the passage, the two daughters conspire to have sex with their father. You offer not a word about this disgusting plan, carried out. If the story requires that the reader tune out the immorality of how this parent respects his offspring, then the story is worthless. To focus on one shallow aspect of this story is anti-intellectual.

My family and I went to listen to the McDade family playing Celtic music. I understand there is a Celtic spirituality, as well. What is Celtic spirituality, and does it conflict with the teaching of the Catholic Church?
I know we Catholics use the Old Testament in many ways, including as Mass readings, but how do Christians interpret the Old Testament? Is it used mainly as it relates to the New Testament and Christianity?
"Keep in touch" are words we often hear friends say to one another. Don't we need to keep in touch with God? Wouldn't it be good to recover some of our old devotions which enabled us to be aware of God in our busy lives?
Why do we use readings from a Bible at Holy Mass which does not have an imprimatur? How do we know we are getting the truth?
A lady who is Catholic now belongs to one of the "new age" religions. She was told that you do not pray to Mary because she is human. You pray only to God. I told her that Jesus was human too and asked her if she prayed to him. She said "that's different" but could not explain why.
When the Catholic Church excommunicates a member because of his or her different theological conviction, as in the case of a bishop who defied Church authority to ordain a woman to the priesthood, does God deny both the bishop and the woman salvation? Or, is excommunication simply a disciplinary tool of the Catholic Church to exercise her authority over disobedient members?
Is hell a physical place? Does God send us to hell? Does the resurrection signify physical movement to a place in space with physical dimensions? If so, space exploration must be penetrating that physical place we still call heaven.
