Not giving up yet: today I transplanted collard and cucumber seedlings outdoors, after starting them last month inside. All that's left under the grow lights now is the Blue Dwarf kale. (The Red Russian kale grew so fast indoors that I had to transplant it well before the OSU-recommended date of Sept. 1; it was outgrowing the peat pots.) |

Sancho, I have never grown the Red Russian Kale, It sounds pretty. Does it have crinkly edges? I have pretty much have cut back to Siberian Kale, It grows well for me and I can buy the seeds cheap at the Co-op. I plan on planting Kale, Mustard, and Collards before long. I want to plant Read Sails lettuce and China red meat radishes but have not ordered seeds. I have checked several times at the Co-op and they have not had them. Larry |
I never give up completely, or almost never. We have been harvesting tomatoes, peppers, okra and melons throughout July and August, but most everything else is toast. It has rained enough now that weeds are sprouting, so I should not have any trouble getting a fall garden going. My challenge will be to keep the grasshoppers from eating everything down to the ground. They always seem to prefer my veggie garden plants to the weeds, and I wish it was the other way around. Because rain has fallen a couple of times lately, some of the summer garden I'd stopped watering even is reviving, but I still have a lot of tomato plants to remove in order to have room for cool-season crops for fall. I've already taken out 4 rows of tomato plants and put southern peas and bush beans in their place, and I am getting ready to remove the 7 short rows of paste tomato plants to make room for collards, Swiss chard, spinach and kale. The rain has revived the 'Seminole' winter squash and it is putting out new leaves and is blooming again. It has a lot of half-mature squash I thought we'd lose after I stopped watering, but since then we have had just enough rainfall to keep it hanging on. The other winter squash plants are dead though, and so are the pumpkins. Larry, I grew Red Russian kale this past winter and spring and it is just beautiful with really ruffled edges and purplish veins in the leaves. I have grown it before, but had forgotten how pretty it is. I had it growing in between black kale (aka as Lacinato or dinosaur kale) and blue kale. All of them grew like mad and were gorgeous and tasty. Of the three, the Red Russian did the best in our hotter-than-usual winter and spring weather, and the dinosaur kale did better than the blue kale. I hope I have seed left over from spring because all the seed racks have been removed from the local stores here. They'll be back later on, but usually not until October. I wish they'd leave the seed racks out year-round, but they don't. Even before our farm store pulled out their seed racks, everything was on clearance in early to mid-summer, so by the time fall planting time rolled around, there wasn't much left on them. Dawn |

Next page >
Feature Highlights
Externalizer simply externalizes the BLOBs from database to external storage using EBS/RBS providers. If a storage profile in Externalizer is web application specific, EBS provider is used and if it is content database specific, then RBS provider is used. Externalizer can have multi tiers to store BLOBs. Each tier in Externalizer must have a Storage pool associated with it.
Versioning Retention Policy for Externalizer
This feature enables the user to specify which versions of the documents should be kept on which tier. Following options are given.
- Keep the current version only.
- Keep the current major and minor version only.
- Keep current major and all its minor versions.
- Keep last n number of major and its all minor versions.
Usage based retention policy
Along with "Aging based" retention policy, there is a new policy introduced in 3.4 that is "usage Based" retention policy. This can be used to move document(s) on any other tier if the number of the accessed document(s), between two consecutive BLOB transfer jobs is greater or lesser than defined number. This could be very useful in a situation where document(s) on a cheaper storage is accessed more frequently then this will be moved to an expensive or high performance storage tier.
Archiver hoards the copies of SharePoint documents with their metadata. These documents cannot be accessed directly neither they use EBS or RBS. Archiver profiles are not multi-tiered but they use Storage Pools to add required storage. These profiles can be configured to keep the copies of the documents for a specific period of time. Documents will be deleted according to defined retention policy whereas "never delete" a document option is also there. Each Archiver profile has frequent Archive content job which can be scheduled hourly, daily, weekly or monthly. This job copies all the BLOBs that are either in content database or Externalizer. Archived BLOBs are never cached.
Linker basically links the legacy file shares to SharePoint document libraries without uploading the file to database. Each Linker profile must have at least one storage device associated with it. The files from storage devices are linked by running a Linker synchronization job. Every time when a job runs, it links the new file(s) added to the SharePoint document libraries.
Dual Mode Linker
Now all newly uploaded BLOBs can be linked with linker profile using dual mode linker. Dual mode linker links all the lately uploaded BLObs to the linker profile.
Database Mirroring
If SharePoint content database is mirrored, StorageEdge will automatically start using failover database server when primary server is down or inaccessible. Similarly, StorageEdge BLOB store database can also be configured for SQL mirroring.
Storage Pools
A storage pool can contain one or more storage devices. Devices can be added to storage pool(s) at any time. Each storage device in a pool has its priority and the data is stored on device with same priority in a round robin way. Data is stored on low priority device only when high priority devices are read-only or data storage on them has failed. Each Externalizer profile and each tier in Archiver profile is associated with a storage pool.
Image Combining (Dynamic CSS Sprites)
StorageEdge includes the image combining feature that helps improve your application performance. StorageEdge is able to dynamically generate CSS sprites to further reduce HTTP round trips between the client and web browser, giving you even better performance.
File Shredding
File System adapter now supports file shredding. Now you can remove files from external storage without fear of, to be recovered again. file shredding basically removes files beyond recovery.
Support for Distributed File System
Since DFS shares can be addressed same as any other file shares, with StorageEdge users need only to point their BLOB store location at the DFS share where they want their SharePoint BLOBs to be located.
StorageEdge Monitoring Tool
StorageEdge Monitoring Tool allows you to monitor the performance counters published by NCache and StorageEdge for the entire farm. It also allows you to view SharePoint logs of all the WFE's of the farm on a single farm node. It greatly simplifies monitoring of your Cache, BLOBs, List and Jobs activity.
Additional Tools
Archives Explorer:
This tool allows you to explorer the archived files.
This tool allows you to find actual document name with a BLOB GUID you will provide.
With this tool you can test BLOB caching under heavy load.
Configure Adapter:
Configuring the Control Adapter is necessary for setting up List caching and Content Optimization.
NCache Monitoring Tool:
It is a powerful graphical tool designed to simplify monitoring StorageEdge performance. It allows you monitor BLOB, List and ViewState Caching in real time and see how StorageEdge is improving SharePoint performance.
Configure BLOB Store Database:
This will allow you to configure BLOB Store Database
Content Optimization
Content Optimization feature allows us to reduce the payload that gets transferred over the wire in form of ASP.NET ViewState, JavaScript and CSS. Following are the features of Content Optimization.
Cache ASP.NET ViewState on the server preventing it to travel back and forth between client and server allowing optimal use of bandwidth and faster download of the page.
Integrated UI in Central Administration for easy management.
Performance Counters for monitoring
Delay Deletion of BLOBs:
Externalized BLOBs can be configured to stay on external store at least for n number of days after the corresponding documents are deleted from SharePoint. However, it is not ensured that BLOBs will be deleted right after n number of days.
Session Caching
Cache ASP.NET session and reduce the load on SQL Server (Which is used by default for sessions in SharePoint).
Integrated UI in Central Administration for easy management.
List Caching
This feature allows you to save the output of different lists displayed in Calendar View, Gantt View, Data Sheet View or HtmlView and prevent database query that retrieves the data of list from Sql Server.
We can select different type of expiration for different lists.
Integrated UI in Central Administration for easy management.
Performance Counters for monitoring
Re-evaluate Filters Job
When BLOBs are already externalized to storage tiers and a filtering policy for a tier is updated, user is asked whether he wants to run this job to re-evaluate the filters for already offloaded BLOBs on their tiers or not. If an externalized BLOB does not match the filter on its own tier, it will be evaluated on all other tiers. If no tier accepts the BLOB then it will remain on the same tier.
Consistency Check Job
This feature makes sure the consistency of data between Externalizer and SharePoint database. It checks whether the data is consistent in SharePoint library and externalized storage device or not.

I'm about to wax rhapsodic about a cheesy, transparently manipulative martial arts film.

Westampton Mayor Carolyn Chang's fixation on secrecy in transcending the public's business is readily apparent as she admits informal discussions have been had between the Land Use Board, Township Committee and Virtua.
She is doing business for the public, and in this arena there is no room for secrecy, unless the mayor is seeking to hide her master plan for her circus. Does the mayor believe that by keeping her discussions private, she is transparent? Does she think opposition to an issue that will destroy the character of the traditional bucolic repose of Westampton is mitigated because she only now admits she has "private" discussions with a developer? A developer whose master plan is sure to drive our health care costs to the roof, regardless of "Obamacare." Frankly, we all know the costs of Virtua expanding are to be passed along to the consumer.

Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Lydia!
Facts about Lydia
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Brown Tabby
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Lydia's Info...
I am already spayed and up to date with shots.
Lydia's Cat-Tale: Lydia is the last of a litter of all long haired kittens, she was the only short-haired kitten. She is very, very affectionate. She comes across as shy at first. She needs someone who wants to give her alot of love. She was born about May 22, 2006. She would be happy cuddling up with someone who has alot of time and petting to give her. She would be great for anyone who's a first time cat owner.....very affectionate!!
We always take the cat back. It may be one year, three years or ten years down the road... we want the cat to have a home. Whether it be due to moving, allergies or something else. We're in it for the cats.
Please go to www.cat-talesrescue.petfinder.com to fill out the online application. The link is at the top of the page. PLEASE, fill this out completely(street, CITY, STATE, ZIP CODE)..
At Cat-Tales Rescue we offer the option of Microchipping your cat, if not already done so [we've just started to do it the summer of 2007 and have it done when they are spaye/neutered. IF they are not already done they can be done for a fee of $12. We give you all the necessary paperwork to register them with 24-Pet Watch. We offer a discount if adopting a pair of kittens/cats. Each cat[under 3 yrs of age] or kitten is $80 to adopt......if a pair of cats/kittens are adopted at the same time it is $70/cat [under 3 yrs of age] or kitten. Cats over 3 yrs of age are $60. Owner relinquished cats are $55.
All of our animals are tested for FIV/FeLV [if they are kittens the mom is tested and we strongly suggest the new owners have them tested when they are 6 months of age, as a guideline for the cats health]. All are spay/neutered, vaccinated [if adopted before the age at which their rabies vaccine can be given (3-4 months of age) it is the owners responsibility to get them their vaccine]. We also treat them for earmites, roundworms/hookworms and if necessary protozoa and giardia. We give you all the baby photos we have. We also give you their favorite toys and some catnip. We have lots of information available in handouts if there is a subject that you have questions about [we use very well known internet sites on cat care]. We are always available should any questions arise. We offer cedar scratching posts that all of our cats use, we also have nail clippers that are at our cost. Trimming a kittens nails when they are falling asleep is the best time. It is just a matter of getting them into the habit a couple times/month of having it done.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Lydia, a Cincinnati Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Cincinnati, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Cincinnati.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Cincinnati already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Cincinnati breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Cincinnati paves the way for another one to be saved.

Final Score: Milwaukee 100, Washington 87
Milwaukee, WI (Sports Network) - John Salmons continued to pay dividends for the Bucks with a team-leading 22 points, as Milwaukee tripped up Washington, 100-87, in the opener of a home-and-home set from the Bradley Center.
Ersan Ilyasova had a solid all-around game with 19 points, 10 rebounds and six assists for Milwaukee, which had a season-long six-game winning streak broken with Sunday's overtime loss at Atlanta.
Andrew Bogut contributed 15 points, while Jerry Stackhouse and Carlos Delfino scored 13 apiece -- the latter adding 11 rebounds.
"I'm just trying to fit in and help the team win as best I possibly could," said Salmons, who has helped Milwaukee to a 7-1 record since being acquired from Chicago before the NBA's trade deadline.
Andray Blatche and Randy Foye each scored 18 points for the Wizards, who have lost three of four. JaVale McGee added 14 points in defeat.
Washington had won the first two matchups with the Bucks, who can now earn a split in the series on Friday at the Verizon Center.
The Bucks held a slim 28-26 edge with 12 minutes in the books. The lead traded hands in the opening stages of the second before Ilyasova put in five straight points for the hosts to gain a 41-36 advantage midway through.
Delfino stroked back-to-back threes a short time later and Ilyasova added another long distance make to answer a Washington basket for a 10-point difference with three minutes to go.
The Bucks settled on a 56-48 lead at the break, but were quickly back up by double digits after Delfino started the second half with a three-pointer.
Bogut's layup close to midway through had the lead at 67-55, and Milwaukee headed to the fourth up 77-60 after a nearly six-minute scoring drought down the stretch by Washington.
"We work too hard to let any team get up on us like that. We were just paying sloppy," said Blatche.
A furious pace to start the fourth saw both sides light the scoreboard consistently with a Salmons three-pointer ending the stretch for an 87-69 lead a little more than 2 1/2 minutes in.
Stackhouse nailed a three at the halfway point to start a stretch of eight consecutive points by the hosts, from which the Wizards never recovered.
Game Notes
The Bucks have won three in a row at home and are 19-9 as the host this season...Washington fell to 9-19 on the road...Brandon Jennings was just 2- of-12 shooting for five points. He did add six boards and five assists to a winning cause...Foye had five helpers and Blatche nine rebounds for Washington.

Start in your closet when gathering inspiration for your home. This room just may be the key to helping you to translate your personality and style into your living space.
Just as you would dress up a pair of dark washed denim for a relaxed yet sophisticated look, this dining room delivers a timeless feel with its navy walls, neatly-tucked white chairs, and a red leather for a touch of panache.
The urban cowboy who isn't afraid to wear a winter white jean would enjoy this casual living room. The oversized painting and coffee table accents gives clues to his Southwestern roots.
Scottish roots are deeply planted in this Tudor-style cottage. The tartan plaid upholstered dining room chairs with leather-bound seats introduce a pleasant juxtaposition to the English country serving ware.
Allow your fabric choices to create a common thread between rooms. Plaid makes another appearance in the cottage, this time in the form of drapery panels. A hunter green velvet upholstered sofa, worn leather club chair, and antique rug outfits this room for the man of the house.
If you are a gentleman whose dress reflects your heritage, try incorporating artwork that tells your story. The artwork in this office provides a historic lesson in music appreciation. The painting of musicians playing drums and pu shell horns is a nod to a Hawaiian celebratory custom.
If your fashion preference leans more toward modern and traditional, this dining room is a perfect example of the new contemporary mix. With its streamlined chrome-framed chairs and warm rug underfoot, the space encourages long dinners and engaging conversation.
Just as a unique belt can add the right flair to a pair of tailored trousers, this room features a hide-upholstered accent chair that also acts much like an attention-grabbing accessory.
What do you think? Does your home look like your favorite outfit?

Yep, its a gessie. Also, it is easy to propagate. You can go the traditional way to root the slightly harder gesneriads: Take cuttings of approx. 3 nodes, pot in a mix of perlite and vermiculite, two nodes (leaves removed) in the mix and one with the leaves left on above the mix, enclose in a ziplock bag and put under lights. That works well for most plants, gesneriad or not. Or, you can go to the easier method for easy to root plants--take cuttings and plant them in a pot of regular potting mix and root them uncovered on a light stand. They are quite tolerant, and will root in the open. You might see a few leaves drop or shrivel but chances are, they will root without dropping leaves or dying. Or, you can go with the really easy and more fool proof way to root cuttings of easy things--put the cuttings in water and root them on a bright window sill. Aeschynanthus and nematanthus root well in water, though I like to use one of the two above methods. When they are rooted I like to pot up a 4" pot with lots of cuttings--such as four to ten. Then when they are really well rooted I move them up to a larger pot. By planting lots of cuttings together you get a really nice and full pot. Jon |
Oh Jon, thank you so much! To me it didn't look like something that would root so easy but it definitely sounds like it will! |

I am tring to propogate red tip shrubs. PLEASE help me in my year long search for answers. Thank You. |
Hi Cyberstryder, There is a special forum on GardenWeb that deals with plant propagation. To know how to propagate a plant you need to find out what exactly is your red tipped shrub. I checked in the net - and it is possibly Photinia. Looks like it can be grown from cuttings. Here is the link you can use - and they have Photinia on their list. Good luck with your propagation efforts. I. |

To ensure that health plans in the marketplace remain affordable and accessible, the ACA offers financial assistance in the form of premium tax credits and cost-sharing reductions to individuals purchasing coverage. The law also requires most individuals – with some exceptions – to enroll in minimum essential coverage (MEC) or pay a tax penalty.
Nearly every stakeholder recognizes that greater patient centeredness and patient engagement are essential to the "Triple Aim" of federal health reform: improving care, improving health and reducing cost.
A growing number of consumers are embracing electronic health records (EHRs), and the significant boost in online access to health information is increasing patient engagement in their care. In the last year, more than four in five patients with online access to their health records (86 percent) used their online records at least once – and more than half (55 percent) used them three or more times a year. Those are among the findings from a study released by the National Partnership for Women & Families.
Prior to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the cost of health insurance placed a particular burden on lower-income women who needed health care services but often struggled to pay insurance premiums and the out-of-pocket costs of care.
Thanks to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), quality health insurance is now more accessible to women and families. More than eight million Americans have signed up for health coverage through health insurance marketplaces since October 2013.
On average, women use the health care system to a greater extent than men, and thus stand to benefit more from greater access to their own health information and electronic tools that help them manage their health and coordinate their care.
Starting in 2014, most people will be required to have health insurance, either through employer-provided insurance, a federal program like Medicare or Medicaid, or individually purchased coverage.
Abortion is one of the most common medical procedures for women; an estimated one in three women will have an abortion in her lifetime. The majority of women who have abortions already have at least one child and many list the need to care for their children as a primary reason not to have another.
Today, many uninsured or underinsured Americans receive their care from publicly funded clinics and health providers across the country known as essential community providers (ECPs). Many of these providers do not require insurance or any payment.
The high cost of health care places a particular burden on lower-income women who need health services but often struggle to pay premiums and out-of-pocket costs. The problem has been exacerbated because many insurers charge women higher rates simply because of their gender, thereby putting health coverage out of reach—especially for many lower-income women.
Access to affordable, quality health care is central to older women's quality of life and economic security. The good news is that if you are a woman 65 years of age or older, you have a lot to gain from the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
Health insurance is critical to making health care services accessible to women and families, yet the cost of coverage can put it out of reach for many, especially those who do not receive insurance from their employers.
Health information technology (health IT) is a foundational component of a more patient-centered, effective and efficient health care system where women and their health care providers have access to the information they need anytime, anywhere.
Many women of childbearing age will gain access to affordable health insurance for the first time as a result of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Thanks to the ACA, eligibility for Medicaid will be expanded and more affordable health insurance plans will be offered to individuals in state-based health insurance marketplaces.
Women of color, many of whom have unique health issues or are disproportionately underserved by the current health-care system, have much to gain under the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
In 2014, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) will make it easier for millions of women to find and enroll in a more affordable health plan that best meets their needs and the needs of their families.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) is the greatest advance for women's health in a generation. Improving health care has long been a priority for women, reflecting their experiences as patients, mothers, and caregivers.
Many women have questions about health insurance, the new insurance marketplace, and how to choose the best health plan for themselves and their families. While every family will have unique health care needs, the following information can help women make the best choices.
In 2010, the year the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was signed into law, approximately 19 million women – one in five women ages 19 to 64 – were uninsured. By 2014, the ACA will provide nearly all of these women with access to comprehensive health coverage by expanding Medicaid eligibility, making private plans more affordable, and eliminating discriminatory practices that have long kept women and small businesses out of the private market.
For the last few decades, most federal funding for sex education has been dedicated to abstinence-only until marriage education. Abstinence-only education has not been shown to reduce teen sexual activity, pregnancy or Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs).

text: Im sort of new here. In that I havent started any weight loss plan as of yet. Ive been lurking and looking. I want to start something that I know I will be able to stick to and finish. In the past I have done Weight Watchers Point Plan, Ive done Atkins and South Beach. I liked South Beach and WW the Best of the 3 though. I am desperate to once and for all get this weight off me. It is causing me some health problems. I currently weigh close to 265 lbs and I am only 5 foot 3 and I have High Blood Pressure, Possible Sleep Apnea, Heart Valve Problems/Heart Murmur, other health/weight related issues. I say they are related to my weight because I was watching a show on TV (I beleive it was Oprah with Dr. Oz) and he was talking about all the Health Issues that are related to Obesity and I had almost all of them! My BMI is Morbidly Obese. Im only 40 years old and Im not ready to die. I just became a Grandmother for the first time in June of last year and my daughter is expecting again and due in July, so Im feeling anxious at having become a grandmother twice in the space of one year. lol I guess what Im asking is if anyone would share tips with me as to what has worked for them as far as plans,,,etc. I eat a lot of Meat, very little veggies, I love Cheese, though I am lactose Intolerant and dont drink Milk, I HATE milk. I love Yogurt though, especially the Whipped Ones. I love Fruit Smoothies too. I like Bread, but I can eat the low sugar, wheat...etc ones. I looked into starting the Alli but frankly Im afraid of the Diarreah it says that it can cause. Any thoughts?

Overwhelmed by being in sandwich generation
Just a little background-my mom was hit and paralyzed by a drunk driver almost 26 years ago when I was 14. She has a trach, in a wheelchair and since my dad passed away 3 1/2 years ago lives alone. This is the way she wants it. She has most of her mind-she gets forgetful and easily frustrated. She is 72. She lives about 15-20 min. from me and lives on Social Security. She has caregivers who get her in and out of bed paid through a gov't program, but it is very difficult to keep caregivers, even though it pays $12/hour. I also am married, have an 11 & 9 year old and work 4 part time jobs. I am the youngest t 40 and have an older brother and sister in the area and although they help with some of my mom's "entertainment" I am in charge of everything else-her accounts, household issues, hiring caregivers. I love my mom but I am tired and frustrated. My sister wants her to move in with me, but my house isn't very accessible and w/my kids ages I do not want random caregivers coming in and out of my house all the time. She can not go to assisted living because she can not bear any weight on her legs and in case of a fire they say she is not eligible, also the trach scares them off. The only nursing home we could afford are the kind you wouldn't want your family in and besides she really wants to stay in her home. Anyway, I just needed a place to vent. I am consumed with guilt, if I spend time with my family, I feel guilty that I am not including my mom and if I do things with my mom, I feel bad I am not with my kids or they are being made to sit while I handle all of her phone calls (she has a bad speech impediment because she also bit off a 1/3 of her tongue when she was hit). Again, thanks for listening!

I understand how you feel. My mother in the span of 4 months had an in home accident, went from living alone totally independent to having to go to assisted living and having to sell her home and all her stuff. I have two older sisters who live out of state, so all of her personal business falls on my shoulders. Look to see if you have an senior assistance organization in your area. Where I live we have one called Guiding Lights. These folks know the ins and outs of everything dealing with these types of issues. Good luck to you. |

(All in favor say Aye! ) Quote:
I am amazed that your mother has managed this long at home. I'm sure you've played a big part in that. For that I'm sure she's grateful. I hate to say it, but with your mother's chronic state and advancing age, her next step is very likely going to be to either an assisted living facility (if you could find one that would accept her with her medical issues) or, unfortunately, a nursing home. I think you need the help of a social worker to look at all of your options. I agree that if your Mom only has SS, she should qualify for assistance. With all of that said, there are some very nice facilities out there today, even nursing homes. Believe me, I know how nasty some nursing homes can be (and the stigma they have) because I worked in them growing up. But a few years ago I revisited many when we were deciding on placement for one of my own family members, and I was very impressed with some of the places I saw. In particular there was a brand new one that didn't even seem like a nursing home; more like a hospital. I know that's not ideal, either, but at least it wasn't run down, depressing and smelly, IYKWIM. You have to just go visit them. Lots of them. I know your mother's wish is to stay at home, but really, it may not be possible or feasible in her state. If and when things are "settled" for her, you can much more enjoy your time with her. No doubt it is a painful process to go through, though. Just know that there are many others in the same boat as the sandwich generation, myself included! (PS my mother has lived with me for almost 17 yrs, she is in her mid 80s now.)

Welcome to Eden
Welcome to my RMT. This is a team that I've been using throughout the whole of generation five and resorting to when my new projects fail. As a matter of fact, this team is so old that it dates back as a modification of a team I used towards the end of Salamence's reign over the tier in fourth gen. The team has peaked one on almost every single server, with the only notable exception being me just missing out on the beta server a few months back, and has shown that even through the vast changes of generation five that it can still win games with concerning ease. I think making this team really gave me an appreciation of providing niche roles on teams and then members that fulfill much more general roles.
The team abuses a spike stacking and dual weather core that designed to give me a reasonable match up against every team type. The team also has a large priority on not letting the opponent set up by providing a large amount of offensive pressure and not allowing me to lock into weak moves. This is shown by the 19 direct attacking moves from the 24 possible moves on me team (2 of these are hazards). The lack of low accuracy moves is also a notable past of my team. Stone Edge, Fire Blast and Psycho Boost are the only moves on the team with imperfect accuracy which gives me much more consistent results with the team.
I would have waited to post this but I want to use sections of it in my RMT guide.I feel this style of team is a good one to base a guide around because everything in the team is chosen to remove a specific threat and allow for a clean sweep with Mence if required. Hopefully I can write this to standard to be used as a model to other RMTs.
The team is themed around the series and movies Eden of the East that I watched and enjoyed a few weeks back. The nicknames and theme express how my team is constantly pressure based relying on strong prediction skills to crack apart an opposing team.
In Depth
Akira Takizawa (Deoxys-D) @ Life Orb
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 68 HP / 252 SAtk / 188 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Psycho Boost
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Spikes
- Stealth Rock
Offensive Deoxys-D may look strange when considering its stats but it works wonders. Despite having competition from Mew, Uxie, Azelf, Smeargle, Ferrothorn and Forretress but the offensive and defensive balance provided by Deoxys-D allows me to check a number of threats that would otherwise plague my team as well as still having superior defensive bulk to the other options mentioned. Stealth Rocks and Spikes are obvious since my team causes lots of switches. The real trick to this set is what it allows me to beat. For example, Scizor who can wreck utter havoc onto my team and revenge kill my superstar sweeper is lured in my this beast and when it U-turns out to scout, I can outspeed and take it out in one hit with Hidden Power Fire. Similarly, Ferrothorn, Forretress and Skarmory are all beaten by this guy. Other threats to my team such as Conkelldurr and Breloom are also disposed of by thus thing as well as common spinner switch ins such as Donphan and Tentacreul who get detonated. The speed evs and nature are the minimum required to outspeed neutral natured Haxorus whilst the rest go to HP to boost its impressive bulk.
The name is after the main protagonist of Eden of the East who is extremely mysterious and influential. This pretty much summarizes my lure, hazard stacker, threat checker and revenge killer...
Number 11 (Abomasnow) (F) @ Expert Belt
Trait: Snow Warning
EVs: 212 Atk / 200 SAtk / 96 Spd
Lonely Nature (+Atk, -Def)
- Wood Hammer
- Ice Shard
- Earthquake
- Hidden Power [Fire]
Abomasnow is simply the MVP of my team. He resists the common attacks from popular rain attackers that would otherwise plague my team, gives me a priority user and makes up part one of my weather core. I didn't have to choose Abomasnow, because I don;t really need Hail (Though the chip damage helps Salamence), but I put him in here over the other inducers because he is a good Pokemon in his own right. With Expert Belt attached and given brutally powerful stab moves Abomasnow's very average offenses are turned into a monster that can beat every single Pokemon in the top ten with a correct prediction on the switch in. The first thing that stands out here is no Blizzard, however it really isn't necessary because Abomasnow's other moves give it the coverage to land super effective his on everything worth hitting. The special attack and speed evs allow me to KO greedy Scizors who U-turn on me as well as deal massive damage Skarmory and Ferrothorn. The rest of the evs go into attack to ensure a KO on Tyranitar and also maximum damage output for Ice Shard. Finally, Lonely was chosen because Abomasnow's defense is terrible and it never really needs to take hits on that side because of its resistances being to Water, Electric and Grass who are mostly specially attacking types.
I named my snow queen after number 11 because she is wonderful and wintery but deceptively powerful.
Ryō Yūki (Tyranitar) (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Sand Stream
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Superpower
- Dragon Dance
- Stone Edge
- Ice Punch
I'm a massive supporter that Tyranitar should always run a choice set and that the dragon dance set is terrible because it is easy revenged killed, however I have used a style of Dragon Dance Tyranitar here designed to aid predictions on dealing with switch ins. For example, there are a plethora of Pokemon Tyranitar can set up on and instead of having to predict the Landorus switch or the Politoed switch I can instead Dragon Dance and then outpace with the correct coverage move. Tyranitar really isn't designed to sweep but rather remove the threats to a Sandstorm team and give me an answer to sun teams that wreck hail. The first noteworthy move that isn't on the set is Crunch. I changed it to Ice punch because I don't really see what Crunch is supposed to be hitting. Everything Crunch would KO can instead be set up on as they switch out (Deoxys-D and Latios). The evs and nature allow maximum power whilst outspeeding Starmie after a boost. Life Orb is there for the obvious boost to power which allows me to 1HKO Politoed after a boost.
In Eden of the east, Yuki lands nukes onto areas of Japan in his attempt to win 'the game'. Tyranitar is here to land nukes onto pokemon such as Sheer Force Landorus who would otherwise batter around my team.
Mononobe (Gliscor) (M) @ Flying Gem
Trait: Sand Veil
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Swords Dance
- Acrobatics
- Earthquake
- Substitute
Gliscor is very frustrating to play against because with sand up there is always a doubt in the opponents mind as to whether they can even harm it. Flying Gem Acrobatics hits stupidly hard and has great coverage along with Earthquake. Substitute is there to abuse sand Veil to give me a chance of easy setup against threats such as Rotom-W who otherwise wall Gliscor. I chose Adament over Joly because I don't really see anything noteworthy it lets me outspeed. It would allow me to tie with Kyurem but I would rather just switch out than risk speed ties. Gliscor really acts as my main switch in to Scarf Landorus (Lacking HP Ice) and a tank to absorb U-turn from Genesect.
I named Gliscor after number one with the general idea being that if Salalemce doesn't end the game, he will.
Pantsy (Jirachi) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Serene Grace
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Ice Punch
- Iron Head
- Fire Punch
- U-turn
Jirachi has changed drastically over the course of the team's development because it is my main metagame counter. Anything that the team doesn't check Jirachi checks. The scarf set allows me to remove threats such as Mamoswine and Genesect with its deceptive pace in addition to removing other ragons without having to reveal my own. I run U-turn at the end to pivot off and constantly maintain pressure as to not become setup bait but have considered going back to a mixed set and running HP Ice and Thunderbolt to better deal with Skarmory and physically defensive Gyarados.
Jiraxhi is named after Pantsy because it isn't particularly imposing at first but plays possibly the most important role on the team in checking the weaknesses it carries as the metagame changes.
Mr. Outside (Salamence) (F) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Moxie
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SAtk / 252 Spd
Hasty Nature (+Spd, -Def)
- Outrage
- Earthquake
- Fire Blast
- Dragon Claw
Salamence is the best late game cleaner in the game.He comes out late game when everything is dented by hazards and weather to plow through the opposing team that lacks the stall types I've lured out. The set is pretty obvious with some coverage moves such as Earthquake and Fire Blast to remove possible switch ins from the opponent such as Heatran and Skarmory. Dragon Claw is mostly there to apply pressure early game and revenge kill without getting locked in whilst Outrage ends the game with a bang. Because of Genesect's introduction, I've sadly has to move to a Hasty nature in order to outspeed it if I need to pick it off late game which means I lack power. I would run Magnezone on the team but Genesect can only be trapped by it is I sack something to Ice Beam and Magnezone provides awful metagame coverage (It beats about four things whilst Jirachi can lure and kill lots of things). Salamence has broader responsibilities than just late game. I've chosen him over other cleaners partly because he can revenge kill Volcarona at plus one with Outrage. I've won games with him from 5-0 down because I've controlled the game enough to balance everything for a sweep.
Salamence is called Mr.Outside because if everything goes to plan he will end the game in a matter of turns.
I'd like to thank for reading my rate my team and hope you can give me some improvements to help it continue to profit off of the heavily weather centralised metagame that we currently play in. The main threats to my team are currently stall teams orienting a Skarmory, Chansey and a spinner because against a top player who I fail to trap I will struggle. My main way of beating them is getting hazards up and dancing with Tyranitar to severely dent Skarmory. The great thing against stall for me is that once something goes down the whole team will just tumble. The other main threats are Starmie who I can only bet with Abomasnow (It is gets Scald haxed I lose) and Baton Pass (Who I can only attempt to set up on with Tyranitar).
Feel free to test and use the team.

DescriptionAll her life Eden Campbell had dreamed of angels...but none that she painted was like the fallen angel who attacked her. A muse, Eden was now to bear her attacker's offspring--one who promised the apocalypse and foretold her death. Where else could she turn but into the arms of a mesmerizingly handsome angel slayer? But Ashur's protection came with a price. The dark, dangerous and oh-so-sexy slayer tormented her, made her remember how long it'd been since she'd had a man. But Ashur was no man, and no angel. He was a demon. Called from Beneath to slay her attacker, he could commit every sin but couldn't fall in love. And that was the one thing Eden wanted from him. How could she choose between a death sentence or a life without Ashur? |

Wow I cannot believe you plant out that early. I am in Hamburg, Sussex County, and I planted out around May 20th last year. Not sure about where you are but I remember having a frost scare around Memorial Day! I'd love to know your secrets, which I'm sure you have quite a few. How do you plant out so early, and how do you manage growing indoors for so long? I am probably going to start mine on Weds when we get whacked by another storm, |
I am very interested in a few tomato plants. I live in Denville and have a plot in a community garden. For the first time, I am starting a few tomato, pepper and eggplant seeds under a 2-foot grow light and plan to wait until mid-March to start the tomatoes. I am also trying winter sowing for the first time and will put out my tomato seeds also in mid-March. |
sorry readheads, this is little off topic. Hi kathy_nj, Thanks in advance |
Hi, I'd be interested in any that you can spare. I will be planting in my community garden plot in April. Thanks, |
Hi Anna, Just call the Recreation Department in your Town Hall. They will be able to tell you if Parsippany has a community garden. Kathy |
Thanks Kathy. I did call, got a 10x20 plot, now getting started with rest of the things. |
Do you still have tomato plants to share? Kathy |
Hi Do you have any tomato plants? |
