my hands are children size - no joke - gloves are typically too large, which is why my hands are always cold, I don't own any gloves. How about these basic fingerless gloves? Will my tiny hands swim in these?
What is the width of the gloves around the open side? I have slightly larger arms, so I'm worried that they won't fit right.
Thank you so so so much for providing socks in a variety of sizes, and testing them and providing detailed size info! I just got the Extraordinarily Longer Thigh Highs, and they fit on my big ol' legs! And the lace/corset top thigh highs-- and they fit too! It's so awesome to be able to find tall hosiery that fits!

(Adds bond prices in eighth paragraph.)
Dec. 22 (Bloomberg) -- Peru's chief financial regulator is working on plans to allow the country's pension funds to buy infrastructure bonds, broadening the investment opportunities available to the $31 billion industry.
The regulator aims to draw up legislation next year that would enable the funds to buy securities linked to infrastructure projects, the Superintendent of Banks, Insurance and Private Pension Funds, Daniel Schydlowsky, said in a Dec. 20 interview in Lima.
Peru's four private pension funds are seeking new instruments in which to invest assets that have grown 73 percent in the past three years. Congress on July 13 raised the ceiling on the funds' investments abroad to 50 percent from 30 percent. The regulator wants to spur the sale of securities tied to road, port and telecommunications projects and make the cap on overseas investment "irrelevant," Schydlowsky said.
"Foreign markets haven't done very well," he said. Under the new regulations, the funds would be able to "give us a good pension, but also some decent roads without potholes."
Peru will invest $20.5 billion in infrastructure over the next five years, including $11 billion to build 7,000 kilometers of roads, Transport Minister Carlos Paredes said Nov. 22.
The country's pension funds increased their investments abroad to 28 percent of their assets as of Nov. 30, from 10 percent in November 2008, according to the regulator's website.
The value of the funds' assets fell to 82.4 billion soles ($31 billion) last month from 84.4 billion soles a year earlier as equities slumped on concern Europe's debt crisis will sap global growth. The funds had 14 percent of their assets invested in local and foreign stocks last month. The Lima General Index is down 18 percent this year.
The yield on the Peru's benchmark 7.84 percent sol- denominated bond due August 2020 was little changed at 5.74 percent at 4:03 Lima time, according to prices compiled by Bloomberg.
The sol was little changed at 2.6945 per U.S. dollar, from 2.6940 yesterday, according to Deutsche Bank AG's local unit.

Cladrastis kentukea
Yellow Wood
Fabaceae (Leguminosae)
Deciduous, Trees
Native to Kentucky, Tennessee, and North Carolina. Slow growing to 30–50 ft. tall, with a broad, rounded head half as wide as the tree is high. Leaves are 8–12 in. long, divided into many (usually 7–11) oval leaflets resembling those of English walnut. Yellowish green when new, they turn bright green in summer and brilliant yellow in fall. Bark is gray in maturity; the common name "yellow wood" refers to the color of the freshly cut heartwood.
Yellow wood may not flower until 10 years old and may skip a bloom in some years, but the late-spring display is spectacular when it comes: dangling clusters of fragrant, wisterialike white flowers (those of 'Rosea' are pink) are up to 14 in. long. Blooms are followed by flat, 3–4-in.-long seedpods. An attractive terrace, patio, or lawn tree even if it never blooms. It is also deep rooted, so you can grow other plants beneath it. Tolerates alkaline soils; withstands some drought.
Prune when young to shorten side branches or correct narrow, weak branch crotches, which are susceptible to breakage in storms. Usually low branching; you can remove lower branches entirely when the tree reaches the desired height. Prune in summer, since cuts made in winter or spring bleed profusely.

Feb. 27 (Bloomberg) -- It's "time to buy" China's stocks after the CSI 300 Index broke through the 2,600 level last week and entered a bullish trend, according to Macquarie Group Ltd.'s head of China strategy.
The CSI 300, representing the 300 biggest Chinese companies listed in Shanghai and Shenzhen, exceeded the 100-day moving average last week for the first time since May 2011 and closed above 2,600 on Feb. 23, the first time since Nov. 29. The index may next test resistance at the 200-day moving average of around 2,750 to 2,800, Jiong Shao, who is based in Hong Kong, said in an e-mailed response to questions on Feb. 24.
Chinese stocks rallied for a sixth week last week, the longest winning streak since November 2010, on speculation local governments are relaxing restrictions on the property market and China will further cut lenders' reserve-requirement ratios to spur lending. The CSI 300 gained 4.4 percent last week, while the Shanghai Composite Index advanced 3.5 percent.
"It is time to buy, given the decisive break out," the Macquarie strategist said. "The factors that will drive markets higher include continued liquidity loosening, revival of infrastructure construction, and lastly property policy easing near the end of the second quarter or in the third quarter."
Technical analysts look at price charts to forecast resistance levels, or ceilings restricting further price increases, and support levels, or floors limiting declines.

Family Groups Press for Meeting with Paramount
July 7, 2008 - 7:02 PM
(CNSNews.com) - As homosexual rights groups pressure Paramount to silence Dr Laura Schlesinger for what they consider to be her disparaging comments about homosexuals, a coalition of family organizations is requesting a meeting with the entertainment giant to ensure that the popular radio talk show host is allowed to speak her mind.
A diverse inter-faith coalition of 10 pro-family leaders, including three former homosexuals, are waiting for a reply to their March 10 request for a meeting with Paramount to talk with studio executives from the point of view of people who support Schlesinger and who are afraid she'll be censored.
"If to be fair, Paramount meets with gay activists - not only gay activists but extremists who compare faith-based groups to Nazis - then they should do the courtesy of meeting with people who stand for basic morality," Peter LaBarbara, president of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality, and author of the letter, told CNSNews.com.
Schlesinger, an orthodox Jew, has drawn fire from homosexual rights groups for describing homosexuality as a "deviant sexual orientation." In a syndicated radio show that reaches an estimates 20 million listeners in the U.S. and Canada, Schlesinger also speaks favorably of reparative therapies for people who want to come out of homosexuality, and is opposed to same-sex "marriage."
Schlesinger was forced to cancel several events in recent days, including a fundraiser last week for abused children in Detroit, out of fears demonstrators could physically threaten attendees. Homosexual activists staged a protest last week outside the Paramount Pictures lot in Hollywood to protest Paramount's plan for a TV talk show for Schlesinger in the fall.
Joe Glover, president of Family Policy Network, told CNSNews.com "homosexual activists want to claim that Dr. Laura is intolerant. Meanwhile they're threatening to crash her charity banquet. It looks to me like they're the real source of hate in this cultural debate."
"Few in the mainstream media are honest enough to explain that conservatives oppose the behavior which destroys the lives of homosexuals because we care about their plight," he added.
However, Schlesinger's critics say she is not qualified to speak authoritatively on such complicated matters as reparative therapy. A national homosexual rights group told CNSNews.com that the talk show host's opponents want to send a message to media outlets around the country that there's a price to pay for "giving an audience to people with such extreme views" as Schlesinger's.
The downside of this, from the protester's point of view, is "it usually just brings more attention to a particular figure and only solidifies their base audience and thus gives the production company greater determination to move forward," Kevin Ivers, director of public affairs for the Log Cabin Republicans, told CNSNews.com.
Ivers criticized Schlesinger for allegedly telling people, some of whom are at risk for suicide, "that they have a biological illness because they're gay."
"And secondly, I would hope that people who are gay and at risk don't spend their time reaching out to crackpot psychotherapists on the radio and instead reach out to their churches, to other people in the gay community, to their families and look for support where they can count on it," he added.
No one should take away Schlesinger's right to free speech, Ivers said, "but no critic who thinks her point of view should not be out there should give her anymore publicity than she's already getting, which is only going to strengthen her hand for this TV show."
Homosexual activist groups also are coming under increased fire from family groups who believe they are stifling any debate on the merits of reparative therapy for those who want it.
"Frequently I challenge reporters by asking 'why are we told this is a line them up and march them off to a control camp to change their minds situation,' when all of the ex-gay ministries I'm aware of only work with individuals who are interested or willing to change their particular behavior," said Rev. Craig Bensen, a pastor and counselor and co-founder of Vermont's first ex-gay ministry.
Bensen, who took part in the recent debate in Vermont on same-sex "marriages," told CNSNews.com he was appalled at the way proponents of reparative therapy are depicted as "bigots" and "homophobes" who are "ignorant."
Bensen said the majority whip for the Democrats in the Vermont Senate said, "The types who oppose same-sex marriages are the type who don't have library cards."
"This is a free speech issue as well as a truth issue. This is constitutionally protected speech that actually happens to be true and the media don't want to report it and the gays don't want it to exist," Bensen said.
Paramount refuses to drop the show, and homosexual activists vowed they would carry on their campaign against Schlesinger to television advertisers.
LaBarbera said family groups should rally in support of Schlesinger, who he said is being unjustly attacked.
"She's letting people see it's okay to defend basic morality," he said. "She's showing people it's okay to stand up for what you believe."

It wasn't easy, but they did it.
Billings couple Shannon and Roy St. Dennis graduated from Yellowstone County Family Drug Treatment Court on Thursday afternoon, marking the end of one chapter of their lives and the beginning of another.
A group of about 40 people including friends and family gathered in the courtroom to celebrate the couple's achievement. The room was decorated with balloons, and a big vanilla cake lay on a table in the center next to a bowl of punch.
Judge Gregory Todd presided.
"For those of you who don't know, we have two guests of honor today," Todd said, "Shannon Pronto and Roy St. Dennis."
Roy interrupted: "That's Shannon St. Dennis," he said, with a big smile on his face.
The judge smiled, and everyone chuckled.
Shannon and Roy got married back in February at the the Center for Children and Families. It was a meaningful place to them because it was where they completed a lot of their treatment.
Todd went on: "It's a great moment for all of us. You are examples to all individuals in this court. I hope they take it to heart and follow your example and know that it wasn't always easy."
"You're living proof that it's worth it," he concluded.
Afterward, Shannon and Roy were given a chance to talk.
Shannon said that it was really hard at first because she didn't know if she wanted it.
At first, it was for her kids, her family and her friends. Eventually she had to want it for herself, she said.
Through the program, she was able to get sober. Now, 14 months later, she said it was the best decision she's ever made.
"Every day I wake up and it's a beautiful day," she said.
Ron said before treatment he was a different man. He said he used to walk down the street with a scowl because he was afraid. He said what he didn't realize was that he wasn't getting "his needs met."
After the couple spoke, the audience had their turn.
A friend Ron made through the program noted the scowl, but said he realized after having coffee with him one day that he's "just a big teddy bear."
Friends, counselors and people who are currently going through the drug treatment court called the couple an inspiration.
Shannon said it was probably the most momentous day of her life.
She admitted to a friend beforehand that she was more nervous than on her wedding day.
"This is more important than my wedding," she said, "because if I didn't have my sobriety, I wouldn't be married."
The couple has witnessed so much change in their lives since beginning treatment.
"It's been a long, long road," Shannon said.
The couple met in June 2011. At the time, they were both clean and sober after previous drug addictions.
Eventually, the couple got back into methamphetamine. When their son Michael was born about 18 months later, the infant tested positive for the drug and state child protection workers removed him from their custody.
Savannah, Shannon's other child who was living with Shannon's mother, also was taken away.
Shannon said that was the turning point. Savannah's biological father abandoned her, and she wasn't going to do the same thing.
The couple started treatment on Oct. 4, 2012. Since, they have regained custody of Michael and Savannah, and Shannon was able to become the head of a daycare classroom.
Graduation marks a new beginning for them, Shannon said. "It's training wheels off," she said.
Shannon's parents, Leonard and Lisa Pronto, said they are happy and excited for their daughter. They also said they are a little nervous because with graduation comes less structure.
Shannon and Roy plan to volunteer and give back to the organizations that have helped them. Shannon said she wants to serve as a mentor to some of the people going through the drug treatment court.

Last fall I planted a hundred or so tulips and this spring they've come up nicely. Three of them are blooming now and I'm sure more will in the next couple days. The flower stems are only a couple inches long, like two or three inches. I don't know much about tulips, but all the pictures I've seen show stems that are 6-8 inches long. The tulips that were growing at our last house were 6-12 inches long, depending on the tulip.
Why are mine so short now? Is it a function of the type of tulip? Or the age? Or something about the soil? |

Did you use different types of tulips? If these bulbs were smaller, and thus had less food, their growth could be stunted. Different varieties grow to different sizes, so that could be it. |
These were bulk tulips from Sam's Club. The bulbs looked okay, size-wise, but I don't know a lot about tulips. Will they get bigger in future? Is this the right time to add bulb food? I gave them all some when I planted them, in the hole with the bulbs. Would it do any good to give them more? |
According to the link below, planting time, the temperature and moisture can all affect the tulips' height. Tulips blooming close to ground Sue |
Here in zone 9 tulips need to be refrigerated, as the winter is not cold enough. Mine are put in a refrigerator the first of September and planted the first week of December. Winter is our rainy season and normally nothing is needed to be done until after the bloom. This year January was so dry that for the first time I had to water the tulip plantings before they had even come up. Every year when I dig my spent tulips I miss a few and when they bloom next year, they look just as you describe. Al |

American Isis : the life and art of Sylvia Plath
by Carl E Rollyson
9 editions published between 2013 and 2014 in English and held by 1,207 WorldCat member libraries worldwide The life and work of Sylvia Plath has taken on the proportions of legend. Educated at Smith, Plath had a conflicted relationship with her mother. She married the poet Ted Hughes and plunged into the sturm und drang of literary celebrity. Her poems were fought over, rejected--and ultimately embraced by readers everywhere. At age thirty she committed suicide. Ariel, a collection of poems she wrote at white-hot speed during her final months, became a modern classic. Her novel, The Bell Jar, has become a part of the literary canon. On the fiftieth anniversary of her death, Carl Rollyson gives us a new biography that shows her as a powerful figure who embraced both high and low culture, a writer who wanted nothing less than to become central to the mythology of modern consciousness. This is the first biography of Plath to use materials newly deposited in the Ted Hughes archive at the British Library--including 41 letters between Plath and Hughes--to create a fresh and startling look at this American icon.--From publisher description
Hollywood enigma Dana Andrews
by Carl E Rollyson
6 editions published in 2012 in English and held by 970 WorldCat member libraries worldwide Dana Andrews (1909-1992) worked with distinguished directors such as John Ford, Lewis Milestone, Otto Preminger, Fritz Lang, William Wyler, William A. Wellman, Mervyn Le Roy, Jean Renoir, and Elia Kazan. He played romantic leads alongside the great beauties of the modern screen, including Joan Crawford, Elizabeth Taylor, Greer Garson, Merle Oberon, Linda Darnell, Susan Hayward, Maureen O'Hara, and most important of all, Gene Tierney, with whom he did five films. Retrospectives of his work often elicit high praise for an underrated actor, a master of the minimalist style. His image personified the "male mask" of the 1940s in classic films such as Laura, Fallen Angel , and Where the Sidewalk Ends , in which he played the "masculine ideal of steely impassivity." No comprehensive discussion of film noir can neglect his performances. He was an "actor's actor." Here at last is the complete story of a great actor, his difficult struggle to overcome alcoholism while enjoying the accolades of his contemporaries, a successful term as president of the Screen Actors Guild, and the love of family and friends that never deserted him. Based on diaries, letters, home movies, and other documents, this biography explores the mystery of a poor boy from Texas who made his Hollywood dream come true even as he sought a life apart from the limelight and the backbiting of contemporaries jockeying for prizes and prestige. Called "one of nature's noblemen" by his fellow actor Norman Lloyd, Dana Andrews emerges from Hollywood Enigma as an admirable American success story, fighting his inner demons and ultimately winning

by Carl E Rollyson

Marilyn Monroe : a life of the actress
by Carl E Rollyson
17 editions published between 1986 and 2014 in English and held by 584 WorldCat member libraries worldwide "In American popular culture, Marilyn Monroe(1926-1962) has evolved in stature from movie superstar to American icon. Monroe's own understanding of her place in the American imagination and her effort to perfect her talent as an actress are explored with great sensitivity in Carl Rollyson's engaging narrative. He shows how movies became crucial events in the shaping of Monroe's identity. He regards her enduring gifts as a creative artist, discussing how her smaller roles in The Asphalt Jungle and All About Eve established the context for her career, while in-depth chapters on her more important roles in Bus Stop, Some Like It Hot, and The Misfits provide the centerpiece of his examination of her life and career. Through extensive interviews with many of Monroe's colleagues, close friends, and other biographers, and a careful rethinking of the literature written about her, Rollyson is able to describe her use of Method acting and her studies with Michael Chekhov and Lee Strasberg, head of the Actors' Studio in New York. The author also analyzes several of Monroe's own drawings, diary notes, and letters that have recently become available. With over thirty black and white photographs (some published for the first time), a new foreword, and a new afterword, this volume brings Rollyson's 1986 book up to date. From this comprehensive, yet critically measured wealth of material, Rollyson offers a distinctive and insightful portrait of Marilyn Monroe, highlighted by new perspectives that depict the central importance of acting to the authentic aspects of her being"
Rebecca West : a life
by Carl E Rollyson
3 editions published in 1996 in English and held by 582 WorldCat member libraries worldwide A novelist, critic, biographer, travel writer, and investigative journalist, Rebecca West had a keen eye for conflict, and a razor tongue for battle. Called "George Bernard Shaw in skirts" by pundits, she was a woman both feted for her achievements and feared for her cutting wit - "With malice toward all" was her motto, and her barbs are legend. Yet her vitriol was a mask for the pain she spent her life trying to escape. Born Cicily Fairfield to a ne'er-do-well, sexually abusive father and an emotionally fragile mother, she took the name Rebecca West from a strong-willed character in an Ibsen play, and thus began the remarkable process of reinvention that would culminate in her being named Dame of the British Empire at the peak of her career. West's first great love was H. G. Wells, with whom she had a son out of wedlock; her stormy relationship with both father and son would plague her throughout her life. She traveled around the world for her writing, and her fame, beauty and wit drew men to her wherever she went. She left behind a notable train in her wake, including the likes of Wells, Lord Beaverbrook, and Charlie Chaplin. Drawing upon a wealth of never-before-seen archival material and interviews with family and friends, authorized biographer Carl Rollyson has re-created this singular life with compassion, animation, and rare insight. He has plumbed deeply, to the truth behind Dame West's outrageous reputation, and - a harder feat - he has taken the first full measure of her dazzling range of accomplishments. At last, one of this century's most gifted and colorful writers has been given the biography she so richly deserves
Encyclopedia of American literature
11 editions published between 2002 and 2010 in English and held by 525 WorldCat member libraries worldwide Three volumes present a comprehensive reference guide to American literature, from the colonial period through the 20th century

Reading Susan Sontag : a critical introduction to her work
by Carl E Rollyson
6 editions published in 2001 in English and held by 474 WorldCat member libraries worldwide "Each of the chapters in Reading Susan Sontag is devoted to one of her books and is divided into three sections: synopsis, Ms. Sontag's own views of her work, and critical commentary. Thus it moves from basic knowledge to more sophisticated interpretation." "A glossary at the end of the book defines the terms and figures of speech that characterize Ms. Sontag's essays and may inhibit readers who do not share her formidable command of world culture. It also traces her use of allusions to other writers from one essay to the next." "In all, readers will find Reading Susan Sontag to be an enormously useful companion to the work of one of our major writers."--Jacket more

Many companies these days talk about being green and their commitment to the environment, but it takes more than a good marketing campaign to make a true investment in a greener future for tomorrow.
In the last several weeks, SRP has commissioned several photovoltaic systems for East Valley companies that have decided to take that extra step and invest in solar energy with help from the SRP's EarthWise Solar commercial program. These companies have shown their dedication to the environment by installing photovoltaic systems to offset their energy usage with energy from the sun. Each day as the sun rises and sets, a portion of the electricity they use is offset with green, renewable energy.
From large corporations with plants and stores in the Valley like IKEA in Tempe and Intel in Chandler to locally owned companies like PlasmaGlow in Gilbert and Kovach Inc. in Chandler; these companies may not have a lot in common in terms of the products they produce or sell, but they have all taken the initiative to invest in solar energy for their stores, warehouses and parking structures.
The largest commercial installation in SRP's service area will be on the 342,000-square-foot IKEA store in Tempe. The 46,000-square-foot configuration will consist of two 300-kilowatt systems, each built with approximately 1,300 panels. IKEA Tempe's solar program will produce approximately one million kilowatt hours of electricity annually for the store, offsetting 712 tons of carbon.
"We are very excited about furthering our sustainability commitment by installing solar panels on our store," said Robby Wierman, IKEA Tempe store manager. "This opportunity will reduce our carbon footprint, improve the environment, and contribute to our company's vision of creating a better everyday life for the many."
From Tempe, we travel to PlasmaGlow located in Gilbert where each day they design and manufacture energy efficient products using LED technology for automotive, home and commercial use. PlasmaGlow invested in a 29-kilowatt photovoltaic system on their roof and parking structures that will provide electricity for 100 percent of the company headquarters' energy usage, said PlasmaGlow President Eugene Overline.
"As a leader in energy efficient LED technology, we are always looking for ways to make ourselves a greener company. The SRP rebate was a significant contribution and made this project financially viable for us," Overline said.
Earlier this year, Chandler company Kovach Inc. flipped the switch for a system that produces up to 21 kilowatts each day the sun is shining. Kovach Inc. is a national metal and stone wall-cladding company that also specializes in metal roof systems.
And last but certainly not least are the new Intel installations, which will have the third-most photovoltaic capacity in SRP's service territory. These are the first of seven new contracted solar electric installations at Intel locations in four states that will generate up to 2.8 megawatts of clean solar energy.
The roof system, which was recently commissioned at the Chandler campus, is capable of generating approximately 10 percent of the building's peak demand. Intel Arizona recently began a new project at the Ocotillo campus, which will be solar support structures in the parking lot and will also provide shade to approximately 100 parking spaces. This is the first of what the company hopes to be several of this type of system, with potential pending expansions later this year.
All of these systems were made possible, in part, by incentives from the SRP EarthWise Solar Energy commercial program. From international corporations to small business owners, solar is becoming more and more of a viable option for customers who are interested in installing solar systems on their rooftops. Especially, as we hope to see prices decrease and technologies improve. SRP is proud to be a part of the bright future of solar in Arizona.

Lori Singleton is manager of sustainability initiatives and technologies for SRP.

I'm interested in trying sweet corn this year. I've grown it once without success, but this time I have more room and I would like to ask for some advice.
1. What varieties would do well in south Texas? 2. Is 12 x 16 bed large enough for good ear fill? 3. Am I out of my mind thinking I can grow corn in Houston suburb? I'll appreciate all the advice y'all can shoot my way. |
Follow-Up Postings:
If you fill the entire 12 X 16, you should have a good little crop! I had a 15 by 30 bed at our last house in Cypress. Most books recommend at least 4 rows for adequate pollination. My 4, 15 ft rows did not fill out well and were pretty wormy. (Which my old-school father said I should have dusted the silks with Sevin powder just as soon as the silks emerged from the ends of the ears.) My personal opinion is that it takes a lot of space for 1 good ear per stalk with maybe a second "nubbin" if you're lucky.... Plus, I just have to add, that with this week's forecast, I had to laugh that someone's thinking about planting corn! Again, according to my father, anything less than 70 degrees sure isn't corn growing weather! Hope you're having fun planning your spring garden! Bobbi |
I've grown sweet corn a few times. I've planted a 16 x 8 foot area in my garden and just get mediocre ear fill out. But I realize now I've always planted them farther apart than necessary. I would go with one of the early, shorter varieties and plant them a foot apart with rows no more than 2 feet apart. I can't remember which varieties I've tried; one year it was a white and one year it was a white and yellow. |

Hi Kasiaw. This method works great for me.I planted sweet corn in rows spaced 3 feet apart with a single row of corn in the center of each row until I read a book named square foot gardening. They state that for every square foot of space you can grow four stalks of corn.Utlizing this information I came up with this procedure. I first sprinkle a balanced fertilizer down each row and till it in good. The wheels of my tiller are 12 inches apart. I then use a rake to fill in the ruts to the proper depth to plant the seed.I can then have a double of plants in each row Sweet corn seed is some time hard to germinate if it doesen't have enough moisure, so before I plant the seed I use a water hose to apply water in the furrows.After I cover the seed I tamp the soil To make good contact with the seed. I plant about twice as many seed as I need and when the seedlings are about 6 inches tall I thin them to about twelve inches apart. Your stalks should then be properly spaced each direction. When they are approx. 15 inches tall.I sprinkle more fertilizer down each row around the young plants and pull up soil from each side of the rows to cover the fertilizer I then let it grow until they start forming silks. I used to spray with seven at this time to prevent worm damage but I found Martin's Vegetable Plus spray to work much better. I plant two double rows spaced @ three foot centers. The stalks are fairly close together and the ears always fill out good.The variety I like best is a bye colored hybrid called G 90. Using this method you should have plenty of room in the space you have. I live in Orange County about 100 miles east of Houston so you should be successful were you live. |
This posting caught my eye because I am in the process of ordering my corn seed now too! I haven't grown any for a couple of years now (it's so labor intensive!) and am eager to try a new variety called Mirai. I don't have a super large area to plant (big enough for 5-6 rows, maybe 20 feet long?) and I always planted my corn very close together and always had a very good harvest. I found the hardest part of it all to be weed control and am going to post a query about the best underplanting for corn. Good luck and yummy eating! Lynn |
Maybe you could underplant with squash like the Indians did. The thing I don't like about growing sweet corn is that it takes up so much room without giving a long harvest and after you do harvest it, it's too late to plant something else in its place. But underplanting with something like squash would pretty much take care of that problem, great idea! |
I live south of Houston, and have had good success with Silver Queen, planted in 3' rows w/plants 1' apart. A little bit of worm damage, but averaged about 1.5 ears/plant and it was really tasty... |
Thank you all for responding. Interplanting corn with vining squash is an interesting idea; I haven't tried this before, but I'm tempted to try. Thanks again! |

I am the experimenting type gardener which basically means I don't know squat. So this year I am going to try what I read as an old American Indian method whereby you plant your corn in circles. You plant squash at the base and plant beans or peas to grow up the stalk. Supposedly, the squash protects the roots of the corn, the stalks provide structure for the beans/peas to grow up and the tight circles insure good pollination which is a must when growing corn. As a back up, I will plant a crop off by itself in the traditional method. I will keep a log and post my results. In the meantime COME ON SPRING!! This cold weather is making me NUTS!! Muddaubers aren't cold weather critters. |
Neither are many of us who aren't muddaubers......LOL> It has been below my acceptable temp degree of 65 for sometime now ............ ament to "HURRY UP SPRING" !!!! |

Review: Mouse's First Valentine (Mouse's Firsts)
User Review - Samantha Brown - GoodreadsI love the illustration in the book. I also liked the message that was in the book. It teaches children to be nice to their siblings and that they can give each other gifts that come from the heart. I think that this book would be great for kindergarteners and first graders.

Review: Auto Memory Cleaner controls memory settings from the menu bar
Track, manage, and reset your memory in real time with this menu bar tool.
Auto Memory Cleaner is a menubar-based app that allows you to track, manage, and clean your memory on the fly. Installation is straightforward and the option will run smoothly in the background, starting with your computer and allowing you to flush memory with the click of a button whenever your computer starts to slow down.
One of the most common problems power Mac users have is the dreaded spinning wheel. It happens most often when memory fills up due to too many apps, too many browser windows, or too much media. In any of these cases, the only thing you can do is to wait for memory to clear. Auto Memory Cleaner will automatically track your memory, showing you how much is free and how much is used in your menu bar, while flushing any unused information out of it on the fly to ensure these slowdowns are less frequent. You can download the app from the App Store, so installation is easy and the app will load into your menu bar quickly for immediate accessibility.
While memory issues aren't common for every Mac user, if you're a power user with frequent slowdown issues, an older Mac device, or you want to maintain stricter control over the apps and memory they use on your computer, then this is a very useful app; and because it is free, there is no reason not to test it out. Download it today from the App Store.

I'm a newbie to this forum (AND to identifying lawn weeds ! So pardon me if this has been asked before !)
My lawn is REALLY infested with this weed and I need to get it under control - the normal selective lawn weedkiller doesn't seem to have any affect on it at all. Can anyone suggest an effective treatment (please be aware that I'm in the UK, so obtaining US brand names may be a problem) I hope that the image is clear enough for someone to identify this pest) Many thanks ! |

Please help me identify this weed. I had a 'few' of this stuff last year as did my neighbors but this year it has COMPLETELY taken over this entire area of NC. The worse part is: If you let the stuff 'dry out' (go to seed) it actually 'jumps' at you and sprays hundreds of small seeds in a circle thus spreading the pest for NEXT year. Most of my neighbors say "It will go away when hot weather sets in" and they just mow it down in their lawns. The problem IS (for me) I have half my yard in flowers, bulbs etc so 'mowing' it down is impossible. I have taken out 20 plastic bags of the stuff from my flower beds and have only done about 1/4 th of the beds. I have to get this done before hot weather sets in so it will not start 'jumping/spraying' the seeds. I'm about at my wits end... Please, can some of you SE gardeners that know WHAT this stuff is HELP ME??? |

April 29 - I have found out (since posting this about Chickweed (which I could not identify)) that one of the reasons that it is so prolific in some soils is that the soil is lacking in lime. So I will be applying lime to my yard to see if that helps curtail the weed next spring. I understand that lime only has to be applied every 3 to 4 years... In any case, I have pulled up enough of the stuff this year (about 40 bags of the stuff) that at least my flowers can be seen again. See link below |

Soccer: Canada's hopes die in rout; joy for Jamaica
- Tweet
- Share this
(Reuters) - Canada's hopes of reaching the 2014 World Cup finals ended in abject humiliation on Tuesday after they were destroyed 8-1 by Honduras while the United States, Jamaica and Costa Rica progressed to the next round.
Six nations will compete next year for three automatic spots at the finals, with Mexico, who had already booked their place, also joined by Honduras and Panama after Tuesday's games.
Guatemala, who lost 3-1 to the United States, and El Salvador, who fell 2-0 in Mexico, were eliminated but it was the Canadians who suffered the most in the final round of games.
Victory in Honduras would have secured a place in the final qualifying round for Stephen Hart's Canadian side but instead they headed home after one of the darkest nights in their soccer history.
Canada, who last appeared at the World Cup finals in 1986, were 4-0 down by the 32nd minute and the final score was almost as bad as their 8-0 loss to Mexico in 1993.
Honduran strikers Jerry Bengston and Carlos Costly each claimed hat-tricks in the rout in San Pedro Sula.
"You are supposed to go down all guns blazing. We were horrible," Hart, whose job is now in doubt, told reporters.
Bengston opened the scoring in the seventh minute after racing on to a Costly header, and doubled the lead with a tap-in after Canada keeper Lars Hirschfeld had parried a Mario Martinez effort.
Bengston then returned the favor to Costly, heading into his path for a close-range diving header in the 28th minute as the home side ran amok.
Martinez put the result beyond doubt just before half-time and it took only three minutes from the restart for the home side to reach 5-0 with Costly converting from a Martinez cross.
After another from Martinez, Iain Hume's goal for Canada from a free-kick in the 76th minute could hardly be considered "consolation" given the circumstances.
Bengston and Costly rounded off a remarkable night for Honduras, who reached the 2010 World Cup finals in South Africa, by completing their hat-tricks in the final 10 minutes.
Panama left it late to secure the point they needed to be sure of a place among the last six teams with Nelson Barahona equalizing in the 77th minute.
Alberto Gomez put Cuba in front in the 38th minute with the team's only goal in their six third-round qualifying games.
Two goals from Clint Dempsey helped the United States secure top spot in Group A despite suffering an early scare against Guatemala in Kansas City.
Carlos Ruiz put the visitors ahead in the fifth minute, breaking free of the U.S. defense and confidently slotting home, but five minutes later Carlos Bocanegra scored from a corner to level the score.
Dempsey's double strike gave the United States a comfortable cushion for the second half and their Central American opponents struggled to get the goals back that could have seen them go through.
Jamaica's 4-1 victory over Antigua and Barbuda in Kingston meant they moved ahead of Guatemala into second place and into the next round.
Two goals in the final 12 minutes from Jamaican winger Dane Richards made sure of progress by goal difference over Guatemala.
First half goals from Demar Phillips and Nyron Nosworthy had been met with a 61st minute response from Antigua and Barbuda's Quinton Griffith, which threatened the Reggae Boyz' chances of progress before Richards' double strike.
Mexico finished with the maximum 18 points in Group B, rounding their campaign off with a 2-0 win over El Salvador with second half goals from Oribe Peralta and Javier Hernandez.
Costa Rica made sure of second spot in the group with a 7-0 crushing of Guyana - Randall Brenes and Alvaro Saborio both scoring twice.
Guyana had defender Walter Moore sent off in the 50th minute.

Who are Somalia's pirates?
A Monitor Q&A reveals who's behind the modern-day pirates, how they got so good at taking ships, and what's being done to stop them.
US Navy, Reuters
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa
– Today's pirates are mainly fighters for Somalia's many warlord factions, who have fought each other for control of the country since the collapse of the Siad Barre government in 1991.
Their motives? A mixture of entrepreneurialism and survival, says Iqbal Jhazbhay, a Somali expert at the University of South Africa in Tshwane, as Pretoria is now called.
"From the evidence so far, these primarily appear to be fighters looking for predatory opportunities," says Mr. Jhazbhay. They operated "roadblocks in the past, which were fleecing people as a form of taxation. Now they've seen the opportunities on the high seas."
Initially, one of the main motives for taking to the seas – working first with local fishermen, and later buying boats and weapons with the proceeds of every ship they captured – was "pure survival," says Jhazbhay, explaining that armed extortion is one of the few opportunities to make a living in lawless Somalia.
"It's spiked more recently because of a spike in food prices," he says.
Now it has become a highly profitable, sophisticated criminal enterprise hauling in millions of dollars in ransom payments.
Whom do they work for?
The pirates mainly work for themselves.
Much of the piracy seems to be based out of the Puntland, a semiautonomous region on the northern shore of Somalia that broke away from Somalia soon after 1991.

Thursday, February 09

Washington St.
Oregon St.
Corvallis, OR (Sports Network) - Brock Motum netted 24 points and was a rebound short of a double-double as the Washington State Cougars upended the Oregon State Beavers 83-73 in a Pac-12 rumble at Gill Coliseum.
D.J. Shelton had 14 points and nine rebounds and Reggie Moore had a double- double with 10 points and 11 assists for Washington State (13-11, 5-7 Pac-12) which had lost three of its previous four. Marcus Capers scored 12 and DaVonte Lacy chipped in 10 as well for the Cougars.
Oregon State (15-9, 5-7) wasted a 33 points performance from Jared Cunningham with Devon Collier also scoring in double figures with 11. The Beavers had won four of its previous five entering play.
Washington State took a commanding 46-31 lead at intermission by hitting on 17-of-32 shots from the floor, more than doubling Oregon States field goals in the half as the Beavers went just 8-of-23.
The second half was less lopsided in terms of total field goals made but the Cougars shot 50.0 percent from the floor to just 38.9 percent by the Beavers to coast to the win.
Washington State outscored Oregon State 40-20 on points in the paint and 26-7 on points off turnovers.

C'N'C Costume National Spring 2013
"Minimal military chic" was the name of the game for Ennio Capasa earlier today at C'N'C Costume National. To that end, the designer offered up plenty of re-imagined utility gear in slouchy silhouettes and a palette of army green, black, and oyster. Epaulets, cargo pockets, and asymmetry — in the form of surplice wraps and draped panels — each featured heavily, as did sheer and shiny fabrics in the form of charmeuse, chiffon, and leather. It was a formula that, for the most part, worked well — especially in the form of a chiffon t-shirt with leather sleeves and a relaxed jumpsuit made up of a sheer bodice and pants with leather pockets at the knee.

A wacky comedy featuring three young psychics as members of a government enforcement team.
Zettai Karen Children is action comedy series written and illustrated by Takashi Shiina. The original manga series began its serialization in 2005 as part of Shugakukan's weekly manga magazine Shonen Sunday. The pilot chapter was featured on 2003 issue, later in 2004 short term test serialization was published four chapters on 2004 issues. When it gained enough popularity it finally serialized officially on following years.
The world is filled with people with psychic abilities, known as espers. However not all espers use their powers for good. To counter such people, Japanese government establishes organization known as B.A.B.E.L, short for Base of Backing ESP Laboratory. Not only B.A.B.E.L prevents disaster, mostly with espers involved, they are also in charge of helping them out, to make sure they don't misuse their powers. B.A.B.E.L's secret weapon is a trio of most powerful 10-year-old esper girls known as "The Children". However they are still little kids, so to make sure they don't cause any more trouble than they should, Kouichi Minamoto has been assigned to them and make sure they grow up properly, and not destroying the world as predicted by many precognition.
Protagonist of the series. Even though he has no powers, he covers what he lacks with his intelligence. As the leader of The Children he orders them with direction during critical missions, but he is also in charge of taking care of them daily. At first The Children didn't accept Minamoto, they gradually accepted him and respected him as he is the only one who treated them equally.
Member of The Children, with strongest psychokinetic power. Due to her reckless nature, she ends up using more power than she should causing more troubles than fixing them. Obviously she gets scolded by Minamoto often, but she throws her tantrum by shoving Minamoto to ground or wall by her psychokinetic. Unlike average girls, she is perverted like an old man, going far as revealing panties and groping breast.
Member of The Children, who has the power of teleportation. She is the rational of the team, and has most normal personality compared to other two team members. The running joke with her is that her chest is really flat and she is least popular among three.
Member of The Children who has strongest psychometry. Using her power she can read thoughts of both living beings or non-living beings such as rocks and tools. Shino's father is one of top official at police department, and she has been helping her father by reading the murder tools and capture the real culprit. Due to her childhood Shino has witnessed various things she shouldn't had at her age, so it caused her to mature little bit more than other girls. Occasionally she let her yandere side come out, intimidating everybody else.
Main antagonist of series. He is leader of organization known as P.A.N.D.R.A., who seeks to destroy normal human beings and make the world full of espers. Despite his appearance he is at least 80 years old, he maintains his youth by using his power. Unlike average espers, Hyoubu can use various types of psychic powers, such as psychokinetic, teleportation and more. Hyoubu is also one of few who saw the future, and he attempts to fulfill it by convincing the children to join his cause.
Written and illustrated by Takashi Shiina. The manga made its first debut in Shogakukan's Shounen Sunday in 2003. After couple test chapter to see if it get popular, it was officially serialized in 2005. There were minor difference between unofficial and official chapters, such as Minamoto who had power to counter anti-esper in unofficial chapter but not in official chapters.

For the religious, visiting historical churches is among the things to do in Rochefort that they will enjoy. One of the churches that is quite known in the town because of its history and architecture is the Eglise Saint Louis. This church is regarded as the ancient monument of the town's religion.
A beautiful building that served as the heart of Rochefort for a number of centuries, the Eglise Saint Louis bears the hallmarks of the traditional architetural style in the town. Because of this, the church has magnificent stonework carvings both on its interiors and exteriors. Formerly known as the Capuchin chapel, the Englise Saint Louis or the Saint Louis church has a romantic Merklin organ and is the home of the tomb of the Intendant Begon. One of the interesting facts that make visiting the church really one of the great things to do in Rochefort is its being originally a Protestant preaching area that the lords of the town started. It was Colbert who was responsible for its conversion into a Catholic Church.
