Hi, welcome to the addiction known as orchiditis!!! We would need to know what orchid you have first...phal? dend? catt? It is worth reading up on all types you can on the internet to know what you are handling. I keep all of mine in bark mix, and water only when the mix starts to dry out. If it is a phalaenopsis...the ones you see most commonly...they like indirect light (they dislike full sun). They like to dry out a little before rewatering but not by too much. Give it an orchid fertilizer, or a regular one at one quarter strength. The flowers will fade and fall off. When they do, cut the stalk they are growing on (called the spike) about half an inch from the base of the plant. Get rid of it, give the orchid some time, and it will rebloom for you a few months later given the right conditions. Could you post a pic of it? It may be worth putting on a gravel tray to increase the humidity. |

Hi, thank you so much for the fast reply. I was told it is a cymbidium orchid. I made a mix of miracle grow potting soil, orchid bark and perilite for it and i have been misting it twice a day..I watered it when I potted it. It is a well draining mix. |
- Posted by aesir22 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Sun, Mar 21, 10 at 15:23
I have not grown this type of orchid before, but I would never use potting soil for any orchid at all. But this type may be different - I would look into it if I were you. |
Find some complete Cymbidium cultivation notes on the net that relate to growing Cymbidiums in Zone 5. They are "cold tolerant" down to Zero Centigrade but need special care in zone 5 as to when to take it inside or outside. A name would be handy too because some of the "warmth tolerant" ones might be easier to grow inside all year. "warmth tolerant" in respect of the summer night temperatures needed to get the plant to flower in season, sometime in Autumn/Winter/Spring. The potting mix sounds fine but i have a thing about misting. Certainly most of the garden plants (Cymbidiums) growing around this city (Sydney, Australia) did not get misted yesterday on a hot. horrible day. But that is here, find some notes applicable to zone 5 and go from there. |
Mary, you live pretty close to the land of Cymweediums! The west coast climate makes for great growing for some Cymbidium hybrids that they just grow like...weeds! Did your plant come with a name? That will help all here figure out what its needs are. |

I live in northeastern Oregon...very harsh freezing winters and scorching hot summers. They would never make it outside here. On the coast yes but not were I live. Unfortunatly my plant is a noid. |
Actually NOID's are great. Those are the kind you learn from before investing hard earned $$. They're also the ones you keep around once you start investing. You use them to try out new pesticides, fertilizers, and potting mixes. |

I had not thought of that but that sounds like a great way to learn more about the orchids without risking more expensive named types. blessings, |
What is scorching hot? Not all that hot for most Cymbidiums. You need some advice from the locals as to when to take it outside for summer and when to bring inside for blooming. Cannot advise, because it never gets below freezing here and the few i have spend all year outside. Extreme temperature range for the year 1 to 40+C. They are tough!. Just place them outside in a spot protected from the worst of the afternoon sun. The "expert" Cymbidium growers have them under shade-cloth so that they can get maximum filtered sunlight hours. |
- Posted by prayerrock zone 5 (My Page) on Sat, Mar 27, 10 at 0:48
By scortching hot I mean up over 100 for a big portion of the months of july and august. We had a high of 111 last summer. Winters can go well below zero here but average in the teens and 20 good part of the winter. I will likely keep my orchids in the house. |

Does Jock Culture Breed Bad Boys? Part 2
The Steubenville Rape Trial has all the elements of a horrible teen nightmare. A group of boys take pictures and videos of their assault on an unconscious 16-year-old girl. One news report published a photo of the jocks dragging her as she was passed out. There was more than assault that night. Only when they were arrested and charged does it seem as if the defendants show any remorse or understanding of their actions.
Teenagers in general can be reckless and even do things they regret well into middle age later in life. What is troubling in the coverage of the incident is the suggestion that a sense of "jock privilege" had the boys think they were immune from consequence. One news story hinted that the defendants believed their coach would get them out of any trouble arising from their actions. Were their actions rooted in above average levels of testosterone combined with the dulled cognition from underage drinking plus jock mob thinking?
Before the Steubenville Rape Trial was college hockey player Max Nicstro's prosecution for an assault on a fellow female student at Boston University. Nicastro and fellow BU hockey player Corey Trivino were both arrested for sexual assault that year. Trivino's charge was more serious as he was charged with sexual assault with intent to commit rape. In the end charges were dropped against both men but the controversy led to a BU task force assigned to inspect the "culture of the men's hockey team".
In 2005, it was another sports team that made national headlines for an off campus sexual assault by Duke University's lacrosse players. Two of the team's members were arrested for kidnap and rape of a woman off campus. A year after this incident was the infamous scandal involving a dancer who was hired for a team party. The dancer claimed that she was raped by three of the players. Charges were eventually dropped when DNA evidence failed to show a link between any members of the Lacrosse team to the accuser's clothing or body on the night of the incident.
The connection between jock culture and an environment that is sexually hostile to women appears to have several factors. These include star treatment, social privilege, encouragement of views towards women as "less than" men, and a reward for aggressive masculine behavior. A sense of entitlement on and off the playing field seems to suggest that jock cultures encourages the use of women as a form of asserting masculine dominance through sexual conquest. Instead of just receiving a prized Mercedes for winning the State Championship it's as if the bikini model in the car ads is also part of the gift. The Mercedes is there for driving but (at the risk of sounding crude) the hot female is also along to do the riding.
Jock culture is not solely responsible for the aggression towards women. Damsel in Distress culture unwittingly contributes to the encouragement of women presenting themselves as the weaker gender here to simply sexual relief to alpha males whenever they want. Damsel culture also rewards women for feminine behavior, grooming, and a series of flirting behavior that sends "readiness" signals to straight men. Combine the two cultures with the keg party mentality and social ambiance of a frat house and its a recipe for disaster sometimes. However, a woman being feminine by wearing her hair long or body hugging clothing with high heel boots is not a yes unless she actually says yes.

Anybody else go?
It was a bit overwhelming and a bit of a madhouse. But the cheeses? Wow.
We were especially interested in ripened cheeses, and our impression was that Quebec seems exceptionally strong in this domain, especially in non-cow. A few notable Ontario cheeses, too. We missed the Jasper Hill (VT) semi-soft that won Best of Show. (I like that Bleu Mont tied with Bleu Mont for 3rd place. That should assuage any sibling rivalry.)
The range of sheep/goat cheeses was really nice to see. We kind of got trapped in that neck of the woods.
One big disappointment: the bar served only bad generic spigot wines. (Served from a bottle, but still). The beer selection was pretty anemic, too. The implied message is "wine is wine is wine ..." At least there's no doubt the cheese had character, but it missed it's natural accompaniment(s).

Do YOU have "A.D.D."?
November 24, 2007 by Ronn Ives, under Fear of Antiques.
Antiques Deficit Disorder
How to identify a Carrier of A.D.D.:
– Always wears the latest, newest, mall/boutique-bought fashion.
– Always has a concerned, "Am I acceptable?" look on his/her face.
– Wants to buy a new car every year.
– Believes the latest toothpaste and tampon ARE new and improved.
– Hair, fake hair, and fingernails are changed once a month, minimum.
– Privately worries about ability to maintain these budgetary demands.
– (You get the idea.)
Resulting personal problems of the A.D.D. person:
– Over-extension of budget.
– Hyper-tension in pre-social scenarios.
– Hyper-tension in social scenarios.
– Hyper-tension in post-social scenarios.
– Excessive acquisition of fashionable objects, and excessive removal of out-of-fashion objects.
– Desperate need to belong in and to every group and movement of the moment. This will change on a monthly basis.
Those to benefit from the victims of A.D.D.:
– Malls
– The Shopping Channel
– Fund raisers
– Thrift stores
– Flea marketeers
– Dumpster divers
– and eventually: Antiques dealers
Those who involuntarily share the curse of A.D.D. with the victim:
– Younger siblings (hand me downs)
– The main income earner (hand it overs)
– The Carrier's friends, who always appear "awkward" (out of fashion) to the A.D.D. Afflicted.
How to spot the person WITHOUT Antiques Deficit Disorder (never had it or has been cured of it) (and there IS hope):
– They're happy.
– They love history, design thought, philosophy, art, their favorite shirt, their reliable car, their wise investments in antiques, their home (not house, not "the place they stay"), and they know the difference between fashion and good design.
– They're curious AND satisfied.
– They're STILL happy.
If you know anyone with this devastating, painful, often culturally contagious disease, please – PLEASE – help them. If you LOVE them, TAKE THEM ANTIQUING – before it's too late! God Bless you.

TIME Publishes Rand Paul's Response to President Putin, America IS Exceptional
Submitted by libertyBoy on Fri, 09/13/2013 - 16:45I for one am very proud of America's next president.
A recent op-ed by Russian President Vladimir Putin has prompted me to respond. While his position that the Syrian conflict can and should be settled through a political and diplomatic solution is correct, virtually everything else in his writing should be taken to task. So I shall.
I begin with Mr. Putin's disagreement regarding the exceptionalism of the United States of America. I could not more strongly disagree with him. While he is correct that God created every human being as an equal in His eyes, clearly the results of each of our efforts on this earth, individually and collectively, are not equal.
America's exceptionalism is rooted in our founding documents and values. From the rights granted by our creator, but guaranteed by our Constitution. We should not shy away from saying so, especially when our actions are in keeping with this exceptional founding, as they were this week in our debate over going to war in Syria. Our constitutional checks and balances were on full display, largely resulting in the at least temporary halting of a rush to war.

Putin was 100 percent correct..
..America hasn't been exceptional for over 100 years. and honestly, it's been American's belief in their exceptionalism that has gotten us where we are today. The stupid American public has always believed that we were somehow better, and therefore not susceptible to the same evils of any other government such as tyranny, et cetera.
However this is probably still a smart political move for Rand.

Regardless of how correct or
Regardless of how correct or incorrect Putin may be, we need to remember who he is...a communist. It wasn't that long ago that Obama was caught telling Putin to wait till the election was over so he would have more latitude when he thought the recorders were off. Obama and Putin are really not much different. It seems to me they may very well be playing "good cop/bad cop" as they know American citizens have just about had enough. Ask yourself why the he_! would the NYT publish a letter from a communist pleading to a disgruntled America that he is the more rational holder of thought? Sounds kind of scary and dangerous to me. But then again, the NYT has been on the side of communists for a long time.
What's the point? Agreement on an issue should not automatically be the foundation of trust.
- Login to post comments
I neither trust, nor distrust...
... The truth in his statements is self evident, regardless of whether or not you like the man.
Personally he has given me no reason to trust nor to distrust.
Obama and company however have given me all the reasons in the world to believe that everything that comes out of their mouths is a lie.
Now since I have already stated that I do not believe anything that comes out of the mouths of any of the administration's in our country, I certainly do not believe the Western smear campaign against Putin.
I do know that the Communist Party in Russia hates him.
I know that he allegedly incarcerated many of the oligarchs of the old communist system.
I know that he has recently given a hundred million dollars for reparations of churches that were destroyed during the Soviet reign.
So basically to summarize: anything Putin says automatically has more credibility than anything Obama says.

Another career politician
He is not just pandering; he lies by omission.
"We went to war in Afghanistan because they were harboring those who attacked us on 9/11. Mr. Putin's cohorts went to war there three decades earlier for no legitimate reason."
What about Libya, Iraq, Panama, and numerous other military operations where the US had no legitimate reasons?
Implicitly this reinforce the perception in the US that if USSR invaded Afganistan 30+ years ago, the US can invade any country without the UN approbation provided that the US congress backs the war.
The whole point according to Putin is that no one should violate the UN chart otherwise we are heading toward a world war soon or late if the jungle law prevails. This is what happened when the league of nations collapsed in the 1930's.
USSR did not "invade" Afghanistan, the pre-existing communist government of Afghanistan asked the Russians to rescue them because they were in trouble. It was their (soviets) mistake, but the UN chart wasn't violated.
Inside the US, the UN has no word to say, but if the US decide to have an interventionist policy it can't ask other nations to respect international laws if the US ignore the same laws.

Rand needs to learn the key lesson
of his father's career.
Speak truthfully to the people, and you will gain their trust (no talking points)
His dad never engaged in this type of nationalstic puffery & politicking
He preferred to engage people with stimulating discussion. He never dumbed the conversation down.
This time publication was definitely NOT one of his best
I imagine that some of the powers that be in the RINO party are giving Paul jr. some spotlight time, just to see if he 'behaves'.

Well, if it means anything, this is one less, who does. He acts like we still follow the Constitution, which is not true. If you look at the Bill of Rights, there is only ONE which has not been violated by our current government (as well as prior ones). Either Rand has his head up his own butt on this one, or someone else is pulling his strings. Either way, I have to say, I thought Putin's speech was much more truthful than Rand's. Of course, Putin was not into talking about things Russia had done, just about us. Seems we trust Commie Chinese more than Commie Ruskies, though I can not begin to fathom why, nor why we put our country into financial debt with Communists, ever.

rand says
"assad deserves death" i wonder if rand could pull the trigger?
and if he could, would he then label the murder american exceptionalism?
rand was a guest on his dad's show in a 3 part bit and it wasn't
nearly as interesting as one may have thought; in fact the weakest so far and the first on the set interviews. what was curious
to me was that rand seemed to slouch at times, and even show signs
of a pout. one can imagine the much wiser and more presidential
father sitting rand down and talking to him over the years, and a much younger rand
showing these same signs but more evident.

I see no convincing evidence presented by Obama, Kerry
or the media that has even slightly convinced me that Assad is even the perpetrator of the gas attacks let alone that he deserves death. It would have been irrational and foolish for Assad to initiate such attacks when he was already winning. It makes much more sense that the attacks were perpetrated by the "rebels" as a false flag ruse to allow military intervention by the US, which had been chomping at the bit for some time and was just looking for an excuse, i.e. a "red line" to be crossed or so they could claim a red line had been crossed.

Brilliant Chess Move
That's exactly what I thought when I saw his response. At first I was shocked, because "I" (me) believe what Lew R. said about Putin's statements - we are no longer exceptional. But Rand is not working to get MY vote - get it?
"Government is the entertainment division of the military-industrial complex". - Frank Zappa

That is exactly right.
Besides that, he left Putin some wiggle room in several areas of his response. 1. The Communist Soviet Union, not Russia, invaded Afghanistan. It was the Communist party, which now is opposed to Putin and the United Russia party. 2. Who believes that the U.S. isn't supplying or otherwise aiding the "Syrian" rebels, at least, indirectly? 3. The weapons being sold by Russia appear to be primarily defensive in nature, to protect the buyers against Western aggression. So, his response is not likely to upset Putin very much. At the same time, Rand Paul is interjecting himself, very necessarily, into the Geo-political arena.
And to his detractors, anyone could have written a letter to TIME. They didn't have to publish his. Why should he not write a response on an issue about which he has strong feelings?

NAGPUR: Land is one natural resource which needs judicious and scientific management, especially in the context of agriculture. Unless agricultural practices are sustainable, land degradation will continue unabated.
With the aim of promoting scientific management of agricultural resources, the Indian Society of Soil Survey and Land Use Planning ( ISSLUP) is organizing a two-day national seminar at the National Bureau of Soil Survey and Land Use Planning (NBSS&LUP) from Friday.
Talking to reporters, principal scientist, soil resource studies at NBSS&LUP, Jagdish Prasad and chairman of the organizing committee said the seminar is an effort to bring all the stake holders together to deliberate on various issues related to the subject.
The aim is also to prepare the future strategy for scientific and judicious use of land as a resource. Since its formation, the society has been organizing academic deliberations since 1986. "Land management is one of the biggest priorities for sustainable agriculture. But it needs joint efforts from various stake holders. This seminar is one such platform to bring them together," he said.
TK Sen, principal scientist of land use planning division said that organizers had already received confirmation of 136 abstracts and 13 oral presentations. AK Singh, deputy director general of the Indian Council of Agriculture Research (ICAR) will inaugurate the seminar. Three major memorial lectures will be the main attractions of the seminar.
The SV Govindarajan memorial lecture will be delivered by Singh. The subject will be 'Soil survey - need for a paradigm shift'. S C Datta, principal scientist, division of soil science and agriculture chemistry of Indian Agriculture Research Institute at Delhi will deliver the BB Roy memorial lecture on 'Modelling phosphorous dynamics in soil'.
The third JL Sehgal memorial lecture will be delivered by YVN Krishnamurthy, deputy director of National Remote Sensing Centre, Hyderabad on 'Remote sensing and geospatial technologies for land resources management and sustainable agriculture.'
Principal scientist SK Ray, also from the soil resources studies division said that states like Kerala, West Bengal, Jharkhand and Assam are already using certain active measures for better land management. "We are now realigning research orientation for better management of land," he added.

So far this is my favorite bubble bar slice! The scent is AMAZING, and my husband thinks so too! I'm starting to discover I'm less of a bath bomb girl and more of a bubble bar. Gotta love bubble baths! I can normally get 3 good bubble baths out of one slice, but if I want extra bubbles, then just 2. The water is a pretty pink, and it makes my skin so smooth. I think it's worth the price of $6.85.
More reviews by hellokittyfan1974
Reminds me of the seasonal bubble bar "Candy cane" ! It's a sweet powdery vanilla scent. This bar will last you 2 baths it you use it right!
I love this thing. I love the scent! I have to admitt that i dont use this as a bubbles for my bathtub. I love the scent so much that after i shower, i used this as a "follow up soap" for the scent. It isnt drying, its pretty moisturizing actually so i bathe with it. It leaves the scent and after i get out of the shower, i powder up with Candy Fluff! powder! YUMMY! i smelll like a walking cotton candy stand, lol.
If im ever out somewhere in the summer i might get attacked by bees...
It is cute, but the scent is just not for me. I like the scent of it in the store but it turns kinda baby powdery in my tub. I also found that it didn't make very many bubbles (and the ones it did make left very early on in my tub party). I do classify my self as one who likes sweet scents but I'd rather use a 'pop in the bath' BBS instead. I will give away my remaining chunk to someone who will love it.
More reviews by Shopping_Addiction
This is a cute, sweet candy-ish smelling bubble bar, however compared to other Lush BBS it does not produce enough bubbles. I used a whole bar and had mediocre bubbles, actually a lot less than when I used HALF of my Flosty Gritter (?SP?) BBS. While it does smell good, I am not sure if I would buy it again seeing as I like loads of fluffy bubbles! However the scent did remain through the bath strongly and lingered for a while afterwards which is always nice :)
This is my favorite LUSH product it really picks you up after a long day. Pink, candy, girly, indulgence. This stuff is wonderful! I suggest it to any lush first timers.
I love taking baths and this little chunk of pink makes the bath so much fun. It smells very sweet, like... candy. A yummy candy, not a synthetically stinky candy. It creates a nice thick layer of creamy foamy bubbles, and it leaves my skin feeling hydrated and silky, not dry or sticky. I don't find that it leaves a ring around the tub, unlike some other LUSH goodies which is nice. There's nothing worse than having to scrub out the tub when you're feeling all nice and relaxed after a soak.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I loved this smell -- reminds of of vanilla? And candy, of course.
I really like the idea of bubble bar slices from LUSH, but I've only found a few that I actually like and this is one of them.
This is definately one of my favorite Lush products (which is saying a lot because I have tried sooo many of them!). It's a pretty pink color, smells amazingly sweet and delicious, fills your tub with a generous amount of creamy bubbles, and leaves your skin soooo silky and soft. Looove this stuff- I buy at least 1 everytime I go into a Lush store.

Ecuador's President Rafael Correa called for compensation to the Andean country for not developing its largest oilfield in the Amazon jungle.
The world should pay Ecuador at least $350 million in exchange for leaving intact the Ishpingo-Tiputini-Tambococha field, known as ITT, Correa said today. The ITT field, which has an estimated 1 billion barrels of crude oil reserves, overlaps Ecuador's 900,000-hectare Yasuni National Park.
``They're not paying for the oxygen from Yasuni, which is enjoyed for free,'' Correa said in a statement posted on the government Web site. ``Ecuador will make an immense sacrifice and leave the oil in the ground, but we demand co-responsibility, not charity.''
PetroEcuador, Ecuador's state-owned oil company, had planned to seek bids to develop the 190,000-hectare oilfield, saying 14 companies including Petroleo Brasileiro SA (PETR4), Total SA (FP), China Petroleum & Chemical Corp. (600028), and Indian Oil Corp. (IOCL), are interested. The bid round has drawn protests from Ecuadorian environmental groups.
The ITT field would generate $3.8 billion in revenue, helping finance health and education programs in Ecuador, said Correa, who won election in November on pledges to increase public spending. Crude exports are the main export earner for Ecuador, South America's fifth-largest oil producer.

TUCSON-A food vendor is fighting hunger with a truck.
The owners of Kadooks served lunch to the homeless in Tucson Saturday out of their food truck at Santa Rita Park.
They hope to be able to provide meals more frequently.
A local church organization also offered turkey dinners.
Vic Ort said the Costa Rican fusion meal from Kadooks was the best meal he's had in a long time.
Morningside Baptist also set up at the park to hand out clothes, blankets and turkey meals.
"I think they're fabulous. If it wasn't for them, you wouldn't get fed out here," said Dolores Lopez.
Tony Trent said he's been homeless for most of his life and he hasn't seen this kind of generosity in other places he's lived.
"And this is the most giving community I've ever been in. It's just like I said amazing," said Trent.
"I think because of times that we've had it difficult in our lives that we empathize," said Kristine Duke, owner of Kadooks.
Duke and her husband Ray hope to feed the hungry on a regular basis.
"We've got to do something we've got to provide something back to society," said Duke.
Kadooks will be back to Santa Rita Park to give out free meals on December 10.

Police chase ends with three arrested
by Kelsie Smith
Henrietta, N.Y. -- Rochester police have arrested three people in connection with an armed robbery and police chase.
Police told 13WHAM officers responded to Driving Park Avenue Wednesday morning for the report of a person who was robbed.
The victim told officers that a male who was armed with a gun approached the victim and stole the victim's iPhone.
During the investigation, they found a car matching the suspect vehicle description. A chase ensued, eventually ending on at the Hylan Luxury Place Apartments on Hylan Drive in Henrietta.
"All of a sudden, the doors are opening slamming the three of them jump out one to the right two to the left," said Jack Rokos, who was working near where the pursuit ended. "The one gentleman runs around comes over here one officer has his gun drawn, and by the time they got over here he gave right up, he laid down and that was it."
Rochester police had three people in custody.
Gates police, New York State Police, and the Monroe County Sheriff's Office were among the departments that helped with the pursuit.

Would anyone who has a carrara marble vanity top mind sharing a rough estimate of the pricing? The look of carrara makes me giddy but I'm not sure if I can convince DH we should splurge on the guest bath since our home improvement list is LONG and the budget is meager. The vanity is 54" so unfortunately it's not a size that I can find a less expensive prefab granite or marble top anywhere.
I stopped at Home Depot earlier today and an employee gave me a quote of approx. $1,000 for a carrara marble vanity top with a single undermount sink installed. Does that sound about right? Is it likely to be higher or lower through a stone supplier and fabricator than through a big box retailer? Thanks for any and all help or advice. (Also, if you have carrara on the bath vanity have you had issues with stains or etching?) |
Follow-Up Postings:
I got a quote for a 54" vanity top from a fabricator who happened to have a perfect sized remnant of 2 cm Arabescato, which is a lot like Cararra. It was around $850, I think. I would supply the sink. Another fabricator offered to do the fabrication for $235 if I do my own template and install. I found a remnant of Chroma Quartz in the finish that looks like marble; it's called Lattice. I got it for $250 so I'll be around $500 all in, plus the cost of the sink. Our local Chinese import cabinet/granite shop sells prefab marble tops in 60" length for $199. They'll make cuts for $30 each, so I considered going that route and just cutting off the ends. But I didn't need my ends finished because the vanity is in an alcove; you might not be able to do that. |

>Is it likely to be higher or lower through a stone supplier and fabricator than through a big box retailer? The big box store just contracts it out and takes a cut, so it's almost always more. Also, for that size you might be able to find a remnant at a stoneyard that would work and those are usually much cheaper than buying a full slab. If you can make the prefab work that's usually the cheapest route. |
Thank you both! Sounds like a trip to a stoneyard is in order to go searching for remnants. |
- Posted by GinaGordon (My Page) on Mon, Sep 10, 12 at 9:12
We had installed a 72 inch vanity top with 2 under mount sinks and an eased edge from a remnant for $972 including everything. Shop around as much as you can, my original quotes ranged from $1100 to $1365 before I found the remnant. Good Luck! I love it! |

Final Four isn't what most predicted
But there will be a key rematch, a team chasing a three-peat and a first-timer
DALLAS -- Nope, there won't be the Pat and Geno Show. Those Brittney Griner wingspan graphics? Gotta shelve 'em until next season. Oh, and that rematch between UConn and Baylor, which met in a thriller at the start of this season? Not happening.
There will be at least one rematch at the Women's Final Four, but not necessarily the one most people predicted. And there will be a team that's a first-timer, even though its coach will gleefully call himself an old-timer.
The all-Big 12 battle here in the city that houses the league's headquarters concluded regional play on Tuesday, and it provided one more surprise in a women's tournament that definitely has had a few of them. No. 2 seed Texas A&M defeated No. 1 seed Baylor to join two-time defending champion UConn, Stanford and Notre Dame in Indianapolis this weekend for the Women's Final Four.
"Both of us could have been in the Final Four," Texas A&M coach Gary Blair said of his program and Baylor. "We were not making excuses when we were put in this region. We embraced it."
Last season, the Big 12 did send two teams to the Final Four: Baylor and Oklahoma. This year, the Big East is the league that will double-dip at the Final Four. UConn, the No. 1 seed in the Philadelphia Regional, had to rally to beat another Big East foe, Georgetown, in the semifinals before crushing No. 2 seed Duke on Tuesday to advance to the Huskies' fourth consecutive Final Four.
Also going for a fourth year in a row is Spokane No. 1 seed Stanford, which had to beat the tournament's furthest-reaching underdog, No. 11 seed Gonzaga, in the regional final Monday.
UConn and Stanford have met at the Final Four the previous three seasons: in the semis in 2008 and '09, and in the final last year. They could face off in the championship game again this year. That would be a rematch of their Dec. 30 meeting at Stanford, which the Cardinal won to break the Huskies' 90-game winning streak.
Before that could happen, though, UConn must face Notre Dame for the fourth time this season, and perhaps the Irish took note of how Texas A&M fared against Baylor on Tuesday in those programs' fourth meeting in 2011.
UConn won the previous three against Notre Dame (just like Baylor did versus A&M), but can the Huskies do it once more, this time in the capital city of the Irish's home state? The closest the Irish came to UConn was in their meeting at Notre Dame on Jan. 8, a 79-76 Huskies victory.
Connecticut and Notre Dame will meet Sunday at the Final Four. The Big East rivals already have played three times this season, most recently March 8 in the Big East championship game in Hartford, Conn.
Date | Result |
Jan. 8 | UConn 79, at Notre Dame 76 |
Feb. 19 | At UConn 78, Notre Dame 57 |
March 8 | UConn 73, Notre Dame 64 |
How have each team's stars performed in the series? Diggins, a 42.5 percent shooter on the season, has shot 35 percent against UConn. Maya Moore's stats include a 31-point performance in their first meeting.
Player | FG | PPG |
Skylar Diggins | 18-52 | 17.3 |
Maya Moore | 25-51 | 21.7 |
Of course, the Irish set up this Big East battle in Indy by defeating No. 1 seed Tennessee on Monday in the Dayton Regional final, which was in itself a historical victory. Notre Dame was 0-20 against Tennessee before that, including a loss in the 1997 NCAA semifinals.
Texas A&M's record against Baylor wasn't nearly that bad -- the Lady Bears led the series 47-35 coming into Tuesday's showdown in the Dallas Regional final -- but the Aggies had lost the last eight in a row to their Lone Star State rivals.
Baylor made it to the Final Four last season behind then-freshman Griner. And after she scored 40 points Sunday in the regional semifinals in Dallas, it looked as if the Lady Bears might be unstoppable on the way to Indy, where Baylor won an NCAA title in 2005.
But Texas A&M's defense dictated Tuesday's game, a 58-46 upset, sending the Aggies to the Final Four for the first time in program history.
It will be the second Final Four appearance as a head coach for Blair. He has coached girls' and women's basketball since the early 1970s, and previously went to the Final Four with Arkansas in 1998.
"We were the highest seed to get in, the ninth seed," Blair said of the '98 Razorbacks. "And that's always asked at the trivia questions."
That year, Arkansas lost in the Final Four semis to Tennessee. Coach Pat Summitt's program has won eight NCAA titles, but has fallen short of the Final Four the past three seasons.
This year's bracket was set up for a potential meeting between Tennessee and coach Geno Auriemma's Huskies in the national semifinals, but Notre Dame prevented that. UConn, a seven-time national champion, and Tennessee haven't met since Summitt ended their regular-season series following the 2007 season.
While some folks were very eager to see that rivalry renewed, plenty of other women's basketball fans are just as glad not to have the UConn-Tennessee war overshadowing the Final Four.
Coach Muffet McGraw's Notre Dame program has won the NCAA title before -- in 2001 when the Irish went through UConn in the semifinals -- and the Irish, as mentioned, also made the NCAA semifinals in 1997. Still, there's an element of freshness in Notre Dame's presence in the Final Four again. And it's a completely brand-new thing for Texas A&M.
As for Stanford, even though it's making a fourth straight trip and the program's 10th overall, the Cardinal haven't gone home happy from the Final Four since 1992, when coach Tara VanDerveer won her second championship.
So Indy will have a little of everything: A home-state team in Notre Dame, a newcomer in Texas A&M, a program that has come very close but hasn't won it all in nearly two decades in Stanford and the program that just won't go away, UConn.

"I LOVE this post card, it is beautiful and quality is top notch! I wish the card said "Thank you" as that is just what I prefer, "Thanks" sounds as if one is too busy to take more time for the proper "Thank you." ...At the price point I would order the card, again and again. THANK YOU, Tinyprints."
"Easy to use the site and delivery was well ahead of expected timeline. I did replace the studio picture with one of my own but it was well rendered by Tiny Prints. Doing it again and listening to wife's advice, I would omit the "Thank You" and make the card more generic for multiple occasion usage in addition to simply thanks."
"The colors are beautiful & perfect for my baby shower gift. Unique gift for mom to be. So pretty & different for a thank you cards. She's going to love them!"
"I'm thrilled with this sweet postcard. The colors are as beautiful in person as they look online. I especially love the ability to personalize this with a return address. That leaves me with more room to write a thoughtful note and more time on my hands."
"Loved this style of card! I used as a thank you note, so the size of the card worked perfectly. The paper was of excellent quality. Highly recommend this product."

Letting foreign banks into Russia?
Unprecedented move hinted by premier may coax out money hoarded under a distrusted system.
Millions of Russians who literally keep their savings in mattresses might finally get the opportunity to deposit them in a real bank. But, as Prime Minister Yevgeny Primakov tacitly admitted last weekend, it will probably have to be a foreign-managed bank.
Speaking in Moscow to the World Economic Forum, a gathering of about 200 global corporate and financial chiefs, Mr. Primakov acknowledged that Russia faces a crisis of confidence brought on in large part by the chronic failure of domestic financial institutions to extend the most elementary protections to their clients.
"The Russian banking system proved weak and artificial, able only to feed on the state budget," he says, referring to bank failures in August that decimated the savings of millions. "The toughest consequence of the crisis is a total credibility gap."
That may be stating the problem mildly. For many people, still waiting for compensation nearly four months after most private banks closed their doors and froze depositors' accounts, banker is synonymous with bandit.
"I will never again trust a Russian bank, and I will tell my grandchildren never to trust one," says Yelena Prohovets, an unemployed accountant who lost her entire savings - about $3,000 in hard currency - in a Moscow branch of Bank Rossisky Kredit, formerly Russia's seventh largest financial institution.
"This disaster has ruined my family. Our money is gone, and all they do is put us off with false promises."
Oleg Nikitsky, a pensioner, says he lost 9,000 rubles in Inkombank, once the country's third largest.
Before the crisis about 6 rubles fetched $1; by early September the rate had slipped to around 15 rubles to a dollar. Today it's more than 20, and falling fast.
"That money was for my grandchildren," says Mr. Nikitsky. "If I could get my hands on it now, I might be able to buy something worthwhile with it. By the time they give it to me, if they ever do, I know it'll be nothing."

A report by the Mesa Police Department indicates the total number of crimes committed within the city limits has dropped over the last seven years when compared to 2013 data.
During the department's mid-year review press conference held on Aug. 7, Mesa Police Chief Frank Milstead said the city's overall crime rate — consisting of violent and property crimes — has decreased in recent years, and numbers provided by the department show an approximately 43 percent when comparing the January through June stretch of 2006 to the same six-month period in 2013. Every other year since 2006 has also seen at least an 8-percent drop in crime when compared to the 2013 numbers.
"We are happy to see our crime statistics are down," said Mesa Mayor Scott Smith.
The area in which the city has seen the largest decline is property crime, which encompasses burglary, larceny-theft and motor-vehicle theft. According to the statistics provided by the department, the number of property crimes has decreased in 2013 when compared to every year since 2006 by at least 9 percent, with a max of approximately 46 percent when comparing 2006 to this year's numbers.
The one area that hasn't seen a significant drop since 2009 is violent crimes, which cover aggravated assault, forcible rape, murder and robbery and are reported to the FBI for the formation of its uniform crime reports. While the rates are lower in 2013 when compared with the data 2006 through 2009 and, slightly, in 2012, the 2013 figures are higher than the numbers in 2010 and were the same when compared to 2011.
Mesa Police spokesperson Sgt. Tony Landato said one of the factors that could have gone into the shift is a possible increase in the rape figures tied to a change in the FBI's definition of the crime, although neither Milstead nor Landato knew definitively if the rape figures went up or not. According to the FBI's website, the definition the agency began to use in January 2013 is more inclusive than previous iterations and entails, "penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim."
One of the tactics Milstead said the department has taken in recent years to diminish the crime rate is to split the city up into geographically based districts and splitting those districts into hot spots where a high proportion of crimes occur. Of the sectors the department covers, Milstead said the "lion share" of the work is done within the Red Mountain district.
"It's our biggest patrol district," he added.

Anna Paquin recently talked to CNN about her eating habits and workout routine, while admitting that her role on True Blood means she has to pay extra close attention to her diet.
"Well, I could probably drink less coffee and drink more water. I try to eat well, but sometimes you can be a little too obsessive," Paquin said. "As I get older, I'm learning to balance that stuff better. Not focus on one thing at the expense of everything else. Sometimes it's like, walk away from the elliptical machine. Go sit outside. Do some relaxing because you'll be in a better mood."
The True Blood star also said she is not much of a crash dieter.
"I think, generally, most people can't maintain anything that's particularly strict for very long," she said. "I watch people trying and failing to do that a lot. Look, if you have something coming up like a vacation, and you want to look great and you're doing it for a specific [reason], or in my case, if they take your clothes away from you at work every couple of weeks. But I don't know if it's really right for your body to jump up and down weight-wise."

Canada Branch FAQ
This thread is intended to contain information useful to people travelling to Canada - please feel free to add anything relevant to it! Before we start though, here's some advice from the TT team:
1. Do a TT search! At least five posters a week ask what to do in Toronto, whether to go visit Niagara Falls on their way around the world, and whether it's possible to work under the table/overstay a tourist visa. The road is well travelled. Find those threads, add a reply (which brings the topic to…
Quebec region 10 days trip
Hello. We are a family (with children 7 & 2 years old) and would like to get off from Montreal looking for wild nature, heartbreaking sceneries...maybe up to the north? Can anybody tell us a doable route? Is it better to rent a RV or to sleep in youth hostels? Is end of August a good time to do so? We have been in the rockies and Alaska, and liked them so much...looking for similar landscape or (even better)tundra / fall colors. Thanks so much.
Escaping Montreal to find some nature (August)
I'm going to Montreal for 2 weeks around the 8th August for a family wedding. I'll spend maybe 5 days in Montreal seeing family and exploring the city and then would like to escape to nature with my cousins - light walking, lots of lake/river swimming, sunbathing and eating. I am from London and completely unfamiliar with Canada and wondered if you have any names of areas I should start looking at to begin my search of where to go - nothing more than half a day's drive from Montreal. I'd…

Northern Ontario: Moosonee in February
I will be heading to Moosonee in February for work. I heard it will take some time to get there (coming from Toronto, so either involving 2 flights, or 1 flight + a 7-hour train ride) so I imagine that travel time will take up much of the days surrounding the day I have to be there (i.e. have to be there for a Wed, so will be travelling on Tue & Thu if I go home right away). I am wondering if it is worthwhile to stay an extra day or two and explore the area as I have never been that far…

Acceptance of Temporary Belgian Passport
Hi all
My partner and I will be travelling from NZ on a trip to Japan, the UK and Canada in April this year. My partner has a Belgian passport which will expire very soon - February - so we are exploring the possible option of her applying for a Belgian '12 month temporary passport' given the expected turn-around time for a new 'full passport'.
My only concern with this option is that I've read some countries have issues accepting temporary passports.

I need some advice. Just bought a new home with 9' ceilings and was hoping to have 42" upper cabinets and build a 12" crown to the ceiling. This is not possible due to a bulkhead that the builder will not remove running along one wall of the kitchen and over one of the upper cabinets (see top right corner). I have a few options: I can have the bulkhead continued above all the uppers adding the taller cabinets with the crown moulding. I am worried about how the transition from the wall with the cabinet to the wall without will end up looking. I can have all 42" upper cabinets with the space between the cabinet moulding and the ceiling. I can build the moulding on the range hood cover to the ceiling and have all 42"cabinets I can have the staggered look like the model home with two standard height cabinets. I have included a picture - does this look dated? I will be installing white shaker cabinets - going for a transitional style. Any advice or suggestions are much appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
That kitchen is gorgeous!!! Personally, I wouldn't change a thing...at least not right now. I am a big proponent of living in a space for a while before changing things. That kitchen looks beautiful and modern. If you don't like the dark wood, why not just paint the current cabinets and live in the space for a while to see how you use it and what things you might want changed? As far as the bulkhead goes, is there a specific reason why it can't be removed? |
I think that's a photo of the kitchen in the model home and they are building the same plan new. |
That particular staggered look is not pleasing. It looks like the low cabinets on either side of the range hood are being held up by virtue of the might of the range hood and the cabinets on the other side. If either side lets out their breath those cabinets are going to fall down. That particular look I would do everything to avoid. I like the sounds of taking the moulding of the range hood to the ceiling and then the rest of the cabinets being 42" - if there is enough height difference that it looks like a deliberate style choice. |
- Posted by nosoccermom (My Page) on Thu, Apr 3, 14 at 11:13
I would not like that staggered look. I'd prefer option 3. Or is there a way not to go with that cabinet boxed hood but a regular range hood with exposed upright o rmaybe an under cabinet hood. |
What is that light thing suspended from the center of the ceiling? You don't have to have that, do you? |
- Posted by terri_pacnw (My Page) on Thu, Apr 3, 14 at 12:14
I don't like the staggerd look either. But I could see where two really cool accent pieces could go on those little cab tops. What do you all put in caninets that tall? Lol.. I am 5' 4" ish. But I can barely reach the top shelf items on my tip toes in my "standard" cabinets. (We have soffits.) When we redo our new house kitchen. My plans are to put in a row of 15" or so lighted with glass doors for display items all the way around the ceiling. (No soffits.) I could never use that space for storage. ;) So I agree with the two pictures above. I like the lines of either of those much better than staggered sized cabs. |
I'm with Linelle regarding that suspended ceiling light. |
Forgive me, I didn't realize this was a new construction. I don't really like the staggered look either, also why can't the bulkhead be removed? |
Thanks for all your responses. Sorry, I wasn't clear about buying new construction vs. buying a new house. You have confirmed my feelings on the staggered cabinets. People kept asking me "what's wrong with staggered" so I was second guessing myself. I think I'm leaning toward bringing the moulding on the range hood to the ceiling and having all the cabinets 42". My family is very tall and I can put bowls, dishes, platters I don't use often on the highest shelves :) The suspended lighting is an optional upgrade I won't be getting. As for why the bulkhead can't be removed? A question I ask myself daily. I'm assuming there is ductwork or something in there. I was told very politely that I am buying a production home not a custom home so I can't get everything I want. |

"THis recipe was pretty good. Not quite Guthrie's but close enough to count.Thanks, brings back great memories."
"These were fantastic. For kosher reasons we had to make these vegetarian style. We substituted the chicken for yellow rice, green peppers, and onions but we kept the rest the same. The recipe was great I loved the sauce but my DH wasn't as fond of it. But he still loved the dish as a whole.WILL MAKE AGAIN!!"
"I never thought my DH would like rice pudding but he loved it, which was a great relief for me. This recipe was great. Followed Cindy Scheck's advice and raised the sugar and added raisins. I also forgot I was out of Vanilla so I used vanilla sugar instead. It was great."
"These were great. Surprised DH this morning with these home fries and scrambled eggs for breakfast. They turned out great. Took a long time to make this but it was tasty."
"This Chicken recipe is sensational! I was craving fried chicken and this is definatly the remedy. If you are worried about all the hot sauce please don't be. My mother HATES spicy, even too much pepper gets to her and she loved this chicken.Ok enough chatter, gotta go eat!"
