Not a hot topic but the end of a long saga. EDD got his new heart. They called last night at 10PM I left him at 3 AM while they were prepping him. His cardiologist just called me to tell me he did great after 8 hours of surgery.
Now I have to go to work because everyone is on vacation this week & there's no one to cover me LOL! Ah well life on life terms! If your faith permits it I encourage everyone to be a blood or organ donor quite lieterally ...AFTER ALL is said & done what are you going to do with them!
Last night before I left him he was nice and pink & eager to get on with it! |
Follow-Up Postings:
OH Joe! That is fantastic news. I was holding my breath when I opened the thread and saw the picture. I'm beyond words. |
Holy smokes! That's beyond wonderful. My prayers are with EDD today. I'm sincerely happy for you, both of you, and all EDD's other loved ones. Happy day! :-D |
Rejoicing! And now a whole new and wonderful life filled with happy anticipation about the future can begin again for you both! :) Rejoicing! |

Best wishes to EDD for a full recovery and a return to normal living as soon as possible. And well-earned rest for the caregiver. |
Great news. |
Outstanding! That is great news! I hope EDD's recovery is quick. I know you will both be happy when he is back home with his new heart. |
OMG..That's wonderful..just the best news . I hope his recovery is swift and uncomplicated. And thanks to the choice the other family made . They are heroes. |
What fabulous news!!!! All my best thoughts and good wishes for a speedy recovery for EDD. I'm sure this will help the donors family with their loss. For all of you haven't done it ...sign those papers!!! |
What wonderful news! Wishing EDD a very speedy recovery. I can just imagine the joy you are both feeling today to be able to look forward to a long and happy life together. I am so happy for you both. |
YAY! At least you can work with a happy heart of your own. |

Yay!!! And a big whew! too that all went well! You go EDD & Joe! Kudos to the donor, and solace for his loved ones. May he rest in peace. |
Wishing speedy recovery EDD. Good News |
ohboyohboyohboy. Wow. Many blessings, my dears. |
I am so happy for you both..so very very pleased. Congradulations! |
Congratulations. Hoping for an easy recovery (as easy as possible!) |
I first learned of this on another thread that Batya posted on. I re-read it (to make sure I understood it was about EDD getting a new heart) and then searched for this thread. How wonderful for you both. I have tears in my eyes - mainly because this forum has become like family and close friends. Even though we have never personally met, we rejoice in other's triumphs and sympathize with others in their losses. Even though some of us are at extreme opposites when it comes to politics, we are still caring, human beings. So, this is great news and I wish you and EDD a great life - a new beginning, so to speak. And, yes, I am an organ donor. |
Wait list candidates as of 7:02pm on January 2nd, 2012. All candidates will be less than the sum due to candidates waiting for multiple organs because some patients need more than one organ. All Organs Kidney 112,974 Last year for Zone 9 Which includes all of New York State & Vermont there were 284 patients on waiting lists for a heart of which 126 received hearts. Type O is the hardest to get as there are more type O's waiting. In 2011, 1,760 patients on the heart wait list received heart transplants. That figure represents a decrease from the 2,333 hearts transplanted in 2010 and the 2,211 in 2009. As of September 30, 2011, 10,558 donors had contributed organs for transplant. Currently there are 3,124 patients awaiting heart transplantation in the U.S. This figure changes immediately depending on adjustments. Below is a breakdown of patients currently on the wait list and actual transplants by region: Region 1 � Connecticut, Maine, Mass, New Hampshire, Rhode Island � Currently on the wait list = 193. Transplants in 2011 = 69 Region 2 � Delaware, District of Columbia, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, West Virginia � Currently on wait list = 320 � Transplants in 2011 = 232 Region 3 � Arkansas, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Puerto Rico and Mississippi � Currently there are 326 patients waiting for hearts. In 2011, 233 patients received heart transplants. Region 4 � Texas, Oklahoma � 453 patients are on the heart transplant wait list. 171 patients received transplants in 2011. Region 5 � Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico and Utah � 307 patients are on the wait list for hearts. 255 heart transplants were performed in 2011. Region 6 � Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington � 91 patients are waiting �44 patients received hearts in 2011. Region 7 � Illinois, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin � Currently waiting are 389 candidates. 175 heart transplants were performed in 2011. Region 8 � Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Neb � 157 on the heart transplant wait list. 118 heart transplants were performed in 2011. Region 9 � New York, Vermont � 284 heart patients on wait list. 126 patients received hearts in 2011. Region 10 � Ohio, Michigan, Indiana � Currently 276 patients are waiting. 141 heart transplants were performed in 2011. I watched the Unos boards weekly to watch increases & decreases unfortunately a decrease was usually an indication of death or that some new element had emerged to disqualify the person waiting from receiving a new heart. It's summer & a cruel fact is Summer is a time of freak outdoor accidents. |

Labrea, that is wonderful news. I am so happy for you both. Good thoughts to EDD for a speedy recovery and to you as well for some time to just breathe. As always, if there is something I can do to help you or him please don't hesitate to ask. In the meantime, enjoy the 4th of July. For you and EDD it truly is a day to celebrate. |
You made me think and act. I'm going to change to an organ donor. Need to do it before holiday travel tomorrow! I'm on it! |
Thank you I'm told that's how it works by all the doctors & staff at the Hospital. I can't get my sister to do it though ah well, my brother suggested he was too old to be of any use (nonsensense) there are 42,000 cornea transplants in the US every year & health is more a factor than age in giving someone the gift of sight! "In one case, here in Mississippi, an 84-year-old man's family donated his organs. His liver went to a seventeen year old boy who lived in New York. Even further evidence that age is not a factor: The oldest documented organ donor in the United States was ninety-six years old." |
Yay, Joe! Good for EDD! PLEASE keep us posted on his progress. You must be so excited and relieved. I'm so happy for you. |

labrea a dear friend of ours got his heart transplant in 1994. He was in his late 50's and he is still doing very very well. Lots of trials but good results. Took square dance lessons in 2006! I will put both of you on our prayer list. |
Hugs and love to you both ... been a donor since 1972 (says so right on my drivers license), and no you sure can't take it with you. |
I've been doing it ever since it was a question asked when I applied for my driver's license. I honestly thought that all people did say yes, but in line a few years ago to renew- a young woman shook her head and said something to the effect that she wouldn't be able to sleep at night if she knew when she died that somebody else would be walking around with an organ of her's in them. Because it had nothing to do with religious reasons for turning donation down -I was so shocked and disturbed by that comment on so many levels, but like the woman behind the desk I just let it go. There is no convincing some people to think beyond their own tiny little selves in their own tiny little bubble. Maybe someday when she matures and cooks a little further, she was probably not older than 21. Still, even ten year olds so often think further than their own space. |
Hugs to both of you, I keep thinking all those meds is like pouring stop leak in instead of fix or replace and to finally get the fix that is needed is a joyous occasion. Now to move on to the meds that maintain the goodness contributed. |
Don, you picked the wrong thing (BIG grin!!!)... I just spent the last three months fighting my radiator until I saved up enough to buy one. I put it in (all by myself, go me!) this weekend. My car kept overheating and overheating and it worried me night/day for three months! And now it's all fixed. Purrs like a kitten. But now, every time I see labrea or EDD, I'm gonna think about his new radiator! Go EDD may your new radiator make you purr like a kitten. |
Too bad it didn't happen on the 4th so you could have a whooper of a celebration every year with all the fireworks for EDD. I am a donor and thought almost everyone was. Will you get any contact with the family? What a wonderful sacrifice they made. To know they made such a difference that no one else could make. |

Awesome job Rob!! And I am so happy for EDD and Labrea. YAY!!! |
I'm so happy for the both of you labrea. I've been a donor for years. What better gift to leave behind. And for those of you who might be interested. After donation of organs you can donate your body to a medical school. Forms can be found online. They will pick up your body, use it for medical research, cremate the remains and return them to your family, usually within a year. All at no cost to you. |

Labrea: I am so happy to hear the good news about EDD's new heart. Best to both of you! |
We attended classes with past transplant recipients & their family members. A rabbi's wife said when the call comes it will be almost anti climactic in the sense of all the dramatic near misses. She also said it may be a challenge to your identity as care taker. I asked EDD's future forbearance last night before I left so much of my life has been about reading, researching, checking up on trials, tests, drugs, doctors. The busy body in me will need to take a back seat & that may be difficult I'm told. I find it interesting! |
Just a word of caution about signing donor permission in conjunction with your drivers licenses. In Ontario the question is posed as a negative. Instead of checking off the organs you WANT to donate the instructions are to check off the organs you DON'T want to donate. it is very easy to think you are granting permission when in fact your are not. I have no idea why they do it that way ...must be a legal reason but read the question carefully before you check the boxes! |
Great News! Happy for the both of you for a full and healthy life! |
What a wonderful gift. Enjoy your new life together. ........................................................ Chase, I don't think our donor option is broken down by specific organs. It's all or nothing. When I'm gone it's all for the taking. |
- Posted by seashellsandpearls (My Page) on Tue, Jul 3, 12 at 18:12
Very happy for you and Edd, Joe. I hope he is up and around lickety split and then outta there! Back home where he belongs. Sea (organ donor) |
Not so here Natal, at least in Ontario. I believe there is a box that indicates "everything" but there is also an option to indicate that you wish to donate only certain organs...not sure why. I have often wondered what would happen if, heaven forbid, we were involved in a fatal accident while in the States. I would hope that our donor wish would be honoured but I better look into that. |
I had to look into to it too. Just saying it isn't enough. Just marking it isn't enough. It has to be recorded in their system (Tennessee). Reciprocal Nations makes me think the USA would find your family and try their best to honor your wishes in the best way possible Chase. Truly. Does it matter if you save/help a Canadian or a US-ian? |
Joe, I'm not religious... but my hopes and thoughts are with you both, and I stand in silent support, halfway across the nation, sending my very best your way. Love will see you through... love, and a ton of good wishes and thoughts from everywhere. :-) |
"Chase. Truly. Does it matter if you save/help a Canadian or a US-ian?" Rob you misunderstood my post completely...or perhaps it was that I didn't explain myself well. Likely the latter. My intent is that my donor wish, made in Canada, would be honoured in the States for use within the States should I die there. I just have to check and make sure that is what will happen. Maybe I need to do something special to ensure that the organs are used as close to the point of an accident as possible. I just don;t know , so I need to check. |

Edd's the tin man and you'll have to be his lion - Wishing you both long, happy and healthy togetherness! |
How long will he be in the hospital Joe? I know they have people go home after transplants FAR sooner than would make me comfortable, but I still live in the stone age regarding some of the times discharge for very serious ailments. I do understand that getting people back home promotes faster healing, but I think they push that envelope at times. I hope at least long enough for you to catch up on sleep, rest and a reasonable emotional rest - all which probably hasn't even begun for you yet on a healing basis,really. Just so very happy for you both. |
I was just wondering that myself(how long) You will have plenty to keep you busy with all the after care-that will require all sorts of investigation as well... patricia-organ donor |
Nice news to come home to today. I will continue to say prayers for EDD and his full recovery. |
- Posted by marshallz10 z9-10 CA (My Page) on Tue, Jul 3, 12 at 22:04
Super news to come home to find that EDD has a new heart and the best chances for a long and loving relationships with Joe. My best to both of you. I too have been a donor since first offered as an option in California and earlier in Wisconsin. |
Mylab it should be 2 to 3 weeks. NY Columbia Presbyterian is very jealous of their stats so I doubt they would give him the bums rush. In fact he was there nearly 3 months out of the past 4 months & he was the one always chomping at the bit to get out. At 1 point there was a plan to have him live there till a heart showed up there have been people who stayed there for as long as 6 months waiting. There's a really nice section the rooms twice the size of the normal rooms very quiet, for a hospital quiet posh. He spent a month in that section at one point but they had to implant another LVAD & so that plan went down the tubes. We both will be part of future classes where we will speak to others who are waiting for transplants & tell them of our experiences, pit falls & successes. |

What fantastic news, what a way to celebrate the 4th. You and Edd are in my prayers and congrats on a really "new life" together. |
- Posted by youngquinn VIC Aust (My Page) on Wed, Jul 4, 12 at 3:25
you already know how happy I am at this wonderful news! |
We've been organ donors forever... we figure if just one tiny thing can help someone else lead a better life, then it was all worth it. :-) It's a good program, though I wish the playing field were a little more level. And in health care it looks that way now... and hopefully, it will get better and better. It just seems odd to me that Cheney needed a heart and got one immediately, while Edd has been on a waiting list forever... aside from rare blood types, what could be the possible holdup? I know it's not the thread to bring this up on... but it just strikes me as unfair. I hope Edd is doing well today... we are thinking of you both, and pulling mightily for a quick return to normalcy. :-) |
I can't wait until he can get up and going. I'm chomping at the bit for him. They kept me an extra day after giving birth (that's my I almost died and he says he did story), as I just wanted to go home and begin our new life. I don't doubt y'all could be feeling that way too. I hate computer talking. I did understand you sweetie! I just had an afterthought that was poorly stated. (grin) If I could choose where my organs were donated, and I had a family member, I'd want them to have it. Then a friend, then a... and it hit me. I'm not so sure I'd want it to go out of the country. Would I prefer a US resident get it? That's more what I meant. You, undoubtedly, would give your last fingernail to whomever needed it. It was just late in the day and it was a hard day yesterday. It was more of an "esoteric" idea than anything. Curiosity. (hugs to Chase) |
Well this news makes my July 4th even better! I am SO happy for both of you, labrea. I can't believe how good EDD looks in that picture!!! My very best to you both. You've been through so much for so long, I'll bet you're ready to get off that darned roller coaster. Nik |
How's EDD today? I hope he is getting stronger by the minute. I, too, have been an organ donor as long as I can remember. I want someone to use every part of my body that is usable to help someone else. My father died of a massive heart attack about 15 years ago. He was a diabetic. None of his major organs were usable but they were able to use his corneas and skin for transplant. |
Fabulous -- hard to believe that a post-op photo! He'll be up and "running" soon and you can both celebrate independence in more ways than one. Sending prayers! |
Positive thoughts and best wishes to you both! |
Back when I first got my license, I remember hearing something to effect of, "if you mark yourself as an organ donor on your driver's license, the EMT and/or doctors won't try as hard to save you." Did any of you ever hear that myth? |
- Posted by duluthinbloomz4 zone 4a (My Page) on Wed, Jul 4, 12 at 10:39
Best wishes to EDD and you, labrea - what an age we live in! That myths been around for a while and debunked by Snopes - probably some comon sense too. Doctors wouldn't want to be sued or charged with homicide for harvesting too soon. |
- Posted by marshallz10 z9-10 CA (My Page) on Wed, Jul 4, 12 at 10:44
Houseful, I am amazed at your gullibility. I served for a time on an EMT/Paramedic unit. Who has time to check on a patient's organ donor list in an emergency? |

That photo of EDD is not post op. Joe--how are the the two of you doing today? |
CONGRATULATIONS to EDD and you!! May you have many, many happy, healthy years together. |
Marshallz, did I say I believed the myth? Let's keep this thread about EDD and organ donation and quit the personal attacks. |
Great news! And friends at Rose Pals are cheering too! |
How's Edd doing Labrea? Hope he is recovering well. |
I sit here thinking about the loss that was Edd's gain... but they must also know that such generosity and selflessness mean so much to those who have been helped. I'm also in awe that one death can provide so many healthy lives for others. Modern medicine is truly a wondrous thing. Edd is a survivor, and still has a lot to do in this life, else he wouldn't fight so hard. And you, Joe... what a rock you've been. What strength it takes to sit and wait and watch as you have, all the while putting yourself on hold. Please remember to take care of you, too. :-) I'm overjoyed for the both of you... I can't tell you how this affects me... let's just say that I'm pulling for you every day. :-) |
No Rock! just jello with a lot of attitude. |
If I could reach through this monitor and hug you both, I would! :-) You don't know it, or maybe you do... but you have provided me a look into lives that makes mine look so easy by comparison... and I'm awed at the inner strength that burns in you both. You are an inspiration, Joe, as is Edd. May you both rest easy, now... |
I can hear that joy of yours shining through Joe, and he certainly sounds like he is a "favorite!" patient there (always a good thing!) I'm so very, very happy for you both. The world must look brighter to you now. |
Sorry, I read the first post too fast. When you mentioned he was pink, I was thinking post-op heart functioning properly, etc. So glad things are going well. I don't know much about heart transplant surgery, but the sooner he is sitting up and breathing deeply, the sooner that fluid can clear. He may not like you taking his picture, however, could you take some pictures of his paintings so we can enjoy them? |
That's a great idea! :-D Pretty please? |
What elvis said! |
Uploaded with ImageShack.us He made his mother the gown so she could pose as mother nature in a series he did around 1998 A lot of Americana for a Masters Program as engravings & etchings unfortunately all the plates disappeared
You can't go back there because there is no there anymore Eastern Kentucky.
This is a sculptural piece based on a William Blake piece of art our local pharmacy used it as part their window display. |
Wowza! He's amazing! I really love the black and whites. Does he only sell at local art shows? |
Beautiful work, such intricate detail. Hard to tell in these digital representations what the medium is. Obviously varies from one another showing masterful work. Wish it were possibly to see them in person. Hints of a full and beautiful mind, life and experience for both of you. |
Gave up on that ages ago The Village & Soho are awash with people selling art on the streets & being on water pills means bathroom breaks nearly every 30 minutes. |
- Posted by marshallz10 z9-10 CA (My Page) on Fri, Jul 6, 12 at 11:39
What artistry! I can see why he is driven to continue doing his art even with heart and other health issues. And one reason why you are so supportive. |
How wonderful to be able to express oneself this way; thank you for sharing, Labrea. Without getting too awfully personal, the first one is the most special, isn't it? So introspective and brave. |
Those are absolutely awesome. Is there any art style he is not good doing? Each one is speaks to you. I say a prayer for you both every night. Hope you both are doing good today. There is no question you are the glue stay strong. |
Such stunning work - an artist in every sense of the word. Each is so beautiful - Mother Nature,with all the symbolism behind it, is probably my favorite. Looking at her face, it's easy to see which parent EDD takes after. And he made her gown - amazing! I also particularly love the last black and white with the children in the street - But all of them, simply amazing. Thanks for sharing, Joe. |
- Posted by maddie_athome (My Page) on Fri, Jul 6, 12 at 12:35
Awesome! I want one! I'm with Marquest (and Jodi, from upthread), you are the glue--the stay strong part has had me worried for quite a while...you need to re-charge your batteries (take Epi's offer now will ya!). |
Thank you for sharing EDD's work, Labrea. He is obviously a talented man and I hope he's back to painting and drawing very soon, or whatever his heart desires~ |
- Posted by duluthinbloomz4 zone 4a (My Page) on Fri, Jul 6, 12 at 19:53
All of the works pictured are quite remarkable. The Old Gulf gas station "speaks" to me... like the tatters of a small town the interstate system forgot. |
- Posted by marshallz10 z9-10 CA (My Page) on Sat, Jul 7, 12 at 13:02
Joe, how is EDD coming along with the new heart and attending complications? |
I love Edd's view of the world... his talent is amazing. Thank you for sharing it with us, Joe. I hope all is healing nicely... and I hope you're both finding some peace... |
I love EDDs work. Outstanding, particularly the Gulf station one. Hope he's getting stronger every day. |
Hhe was great on WED had fluid retention in the lungs on Thursday night froma medication so back on the ventilator till today. No infections watching his monitor was a treat the old rythem looked like a peak a a plateau a trough a peak a semi peak a plateau a sort of peak now it's a perfect rhythm without variation, all the stats were good & steady. Amazing what a holiday can do more heart transplants as well as a heart a lung transplant. |
God bless you both.....what a journey..it is truly humbling. |
I would concur with Chase... a truly humbling experience to share... I feel ashamed for complaining about my own troubles, that seem so inconsequential in comparison. My Mom used to say that we're only given in life as much as we are able to handle... so I think you must be about the strongest couple I know. Hoping for a continuing strong and steady beat. |
Y'all are still on my mind. I'm hugging you over the miles. |

Very nice style but . . .
I didn't know there was a difference in synthetic wigs! I received my wig on Friday and wore it Saturday I opened up a walk in oven and my wig was fried. I am hoping that the heat resist wig will not do that. -
New Look
My friends thought I had a new haircut. It looks good and feels good too. Can't believe it's heat resistant at this price! -
Lovely Virtue
My family thought it was my hair only styled better LOL! So so happy I got this one! -
I love love love your wigs. They look so real and the prices are very reasonable. I bought one a couple of months ago and even my closest friend thought I had just got my hair cut. The color was such a good match that it seemed like my own hair. I want to get another one but I need to wait until I save up some money.

Rocky Mountain Farmers Union (RMFU) Tuesday sent a letter of support to members of the congressional delegation from Colorado and New Mexico who voted to pass the amended Clean Energy and Security bill last week.
"This was a tough vote," RMFU President and Mead farmer Kent Peppler said. "When the bill came out of committee, Farmers Union opposed it because it was so unfair to the family farmers and ranchers who have taken their stewardship of the land and water seriously for generations."
"We are actively fighting for renewable energy," Peppler said. "We support sustainable agriculture through conservation efforts, and we are doing what we can to balance America's food needs against degradation of the environment. The amended bill takes agriculture's positive role into account."
RMFU supported the amended bill, which contained a handful of changes that recognized agriculture's role in the mitigation of climate change. Peppler said, "We wanted the bill to recognize the efforts of 'early adopters' who are part of our carbon credits program. We have a science-based program of carbon sequestration in place, and we asked that the agricultural and forestry programs of the Clean Energy Act be administered by the USDA to continue those good efforts."
"Agriculture has changed a lot since the Depression. Using renewable energy will reduce our production costs, and clean energy gives us new crops to harvest wind, sun, and biofuels for new profits," Peppler said.
Peppler singled out Betsy Markey (Dist 4, Colo.), Martin Heinrich (Dist.1, N.M.), and Ben Luján (Dist. 3, N.M.) for special praise. "With the alarmism and misinformation circulating in our rural communities, even after the bill was modified, it took real character to vote Yes."

By James Slater: Reports suggest the IBF are to put on another heavyweight elimination series, with the idea being the winner of the four-fight tourney goes on to face Ring magazine, IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight king Wladimir Klitschko some time next year (assuming Wlad hasnt lost in the meantime; fat chance of that!). According to RTE Sport, the four fighters who the IBF have approached about entering the tournament are Jean Marc Mormeck, Johnathon Banks, Alexander Dimitrenko and Denis Boystov. As fight fans know, the IBF held a similar tournament a couple of years ago, when Alexander Povetkin, Eddie Chambers, Calvin Brock and Chris Byrd fought it out to see who got a shot at Klitschko. Povetkin finally emerged as the winner, having earned victories over Byrd and Fast Eddie. However, the unbeaten 31-year-old, having earned his shot at Dr. Steel Hammer, felt he needed further seasoning and has yet to take his chance. Hopefully, if the new IBF tourney goes ahead, the eventual winner will actually go through with the title shot! All four guys are decent enough fighters, with Mormeck a former world champion (down at 200-pounds), Banks a former cruiserweight title challenger, and Dimitrenko and Boystov proven at European level. Boytsov, the only unbeaten fighter of the four, is also the youngest at age 24, and most experts would probably look at him as the favourite to win the would-be elimination series. The once-beaten Dimitrenko is the biggest guy of the four, and at 67 and approx 260-pounds he would have considerable height and weight advantages over his three rivals. Banks and Mormeck, both largely unproven up at heavyweight, would no doubt look to use advantages in speed when going up against the other two contenders. In truth, Boytsov aside, this is no stellar bunch, and its highly unlikely Klitschko will have anything to worry about when it comes to facing the eventual winner. For my money, if the tourney goes ahead, the 27-0(22) Russian has to be the pick of the four. Hopefully, if Boytsov does win, he will not go the way of his countryman Povetkin! Boytsov has not fought since January of this year (his quick, 2nd-round KO of Kevin Montiy), but he is reportedly free from injury now and ready to get back into action. Maybe his next fight back will be against either Mormeck, Banks or Dimitrenko. Would you pick either guy over the German-based hope?

I'm wondering if anyone has a homemade kit they've put together. Similar to the ones you can buy. Someone out there must have done this at some point :), I've searched everywhere for a homemade seed saving kit. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Dirtdigr, I figured someone would of posted to you by now. Maybe everyone is like me, and they don't think their method is very pretty or worth talking about. I have a large plastic bag that hold used bags of all shapes and sizes to go out and collect seeds with, not very attractive at all, lol. I keep small scraps of paper and a couple sharpies to write names of plants on as I put them in a bag. Once inside, I clean each type of seed and put them into a homemade seed envelope. Size of the envelope of course varies on seed quantity and size. I have boxes I keep seeds in, not all good looking, though I did get one of those photo boxes at the craft store that looks nicer for seeds seeds I save from my flower garden since I need more room for those. You could use those. I do have other separate category boxes. I have one each for: ~Tomatoes, I do use small coin envelopes for those since the seed is small, and I have too many to to use homemade packets for. ~Beans and peas, they take up a lot of room. ~Other Vegetables ~Flowers received in trade ~Flowers purchased So to me those commercial seed saving kits are not any good since they only are good for a few varieties of seeds, but they do look pretty. |

Country's going to the dogs. I'm moving to Canada.
AngelsAwake commented on the blog post Why the Fear and Loathing?
I must admit, I kind of wish Reich was right. The guy wanted to sell sex boxes, for God's sake! That would have been awesome! :D
But I echo what I've heard- the Right has no idea who we are or how we live. We are monsters in the dark to them, scary beasts coming in from the shadows. They fear not what they don't understand, but what they *think* we are. Most are very reasonable to actual liberal beliefs, as long as you never say the word "liberal" to them.

Erie County Sheriff Timothy B Howard reports that the Crash Investigation Unit is investigating a two vehicle fatal crash, which occurred at the intersection of North and Countyline Roads.
After stopping at a stop sign on Countyline Rd., 80 year old Thomas Luche of Mount Dora, Florida, who was driving a 2013 Dodge Avenger , proceeded southbound into the intersection and failed to yield the right-of-way to 43 year old Cindy Miller, from the village of Attica, NY, who was driving a 2012 Honda CRV westbound on North Road.
Luche was taken to Erie County Medical Center by Mercy Flight, where he was pronounced dead. His passenger, 70 year old, Griffith Warrick of the City of Leesburg, Florida, was taken to Erie County Medical Center by Rural Metro ambulance, where he is listed in serious but stable condition.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation.

I have just a quick question on reusing yeast!!! I have read an article that says to just siphon off the trub into about 3-4 bottles and fille them about 2/3 way full with some sterilized water. Put in the fridge for the next batch you want to brew using this strain of yeast. Make a starter and you are good to go. Okay, my question is though what about all the junk in that trub? Like the hops and any flavoring you might have added to the primary? Will that come through when using this strain on the next batch? For instance I made a cider last night with Pear juices and crushed pears along with lemon zest.....I know that is going to fall to into the trub, but can I save this yeast to use again say on another cider that is a different flavored cider? Also got some of the White Labs 10th anniversary yeast yesterday and would like to save that for some more batches down the road, but what about the hops and all in the trub? Any help would be great!!!
Do a quick search here on yeast washing...there have been several threads on it in the last couple of weeks. Also, here are some other links: Wyeast on Yeast WashingAcid WashingHBD on Yeast Washing
[/I] Up Next - HobgoblinAfter That - Czech PilsnerPrimary - Humboldt Hop Rod (4/24)Primary - NOT Wheat AG SNCA (5/5)Secondary - Conditioning - SNCA Clone (3/3),
Yes, that is exactly what I did and that is why I came here to ask the question. I have gotten various answers on this topic.....I have read to wash the yeast, I have read not to even worry about washing the yeast, I have read that you can keep it for up to 6 months and some say only for a month......so what is right and what is wrong, or is it all right and it's just what you feel like doing........
Homebrewing's not an exact science, so you'll frequently get lots of different answers to the same question just depending on people's personal experiences and observations. If you believe (as I do) that having trub-stuff mixed in with your yeast isn't want you want, then wash the yeast. Otherwise, just pack it up. If I was really enterprising I'd do a split batch and try one of each, but that's starting to sound like work. As far as how long it will last, just stick it in the fridge and a few days before brewing make a starter. If it's not viable you need to buy yeast. I haven't tried any at 6 months, but I've used saved yeast at 2 months with no problems.
Hey thanks guys.......Guess beer making is about like when I was a golf teaching professional.......so many different theories and oppinions, was hard for the normal person to understand what was right and what was wrong....my theory was always, what works best for you is what is right for you.........
Eolle, Let me get this correct then! I haven't pitched the 10th Anny yeast yet.....So what your saying is make 2L's of a starter, pitch one liter in my wort and save the other 1L in another bottle for later use?
I do it all the time. I usually only save 50 ml but a 12 oz bottle would be more than enough. If they settle out...you can pour off most of the liquid resuspend the yeast and dump into a fresh starter. No problems at all! Just make sure you use good sterile/aseptic technique. If you did a liter you can save at least 2 0.5 L, or whatever combination you would like. -Eric
I am just learning / trying out the "art" of reusing yeast, so this is a very helpful thread. A few questions which I think relate to this (sorry if it's hijacking!) Is it correct to say that one knows whether the yeast is good by the fact that their is krausen on top of the starter? If so, what if you are using a stir plate, which constantly stirs the starter. Will a krausen still form? If not, how can you tell that the yeast is good? Last, when making starters, whether from reused or new yeast, are you better served by gradually building up the starter or by adding the starter wort all at once? That is, if you are making a 2L starter, do you add 2L of wort right away, or perhaps 1/2 L every day or two until brew day? How To Brew seems to suggest the latter, but I am not clear on the advantages of doing so. Thanks, all.

Why He diedTonight I feel the coldWhy He died by Greengirl2011
I am in darkness's hold
I want to be anywhere but here
But all I can feel is fear
In the arms of despair is where I am
I am standing on sinking sand
No matter how hard I fight
I can always feel its bight
I cannot see I cannot hear
My lungs won't accept the very air
Nobody seems to hear my cries
I feel tonight will be my demise
But wait what do I see
Could it be a man hanging on a tree
Did he just say my name
Or am I going insane
His eyes catch mine
I see love of a new kind
Then he gave up his spirit
And I felt dread once again
All I could do was fear it
The darkness that killed him
The one who had loved me
Was gone because of my sin
Suddenly a light so beautiful and bright
Shone out from the grave
The place where his body had been laid
Could it be that I am yet saved
The stone was rolled away
Giving a new meaning to the day
His death was not in vain
He died to take away my shame
To make a way where there was none
For God so loved the world
That he gave his only

He was given gifts by many strangers

This was the biggest event that could occur
A savior had been born in Bethlehem
He was visited by the three wise men
Shepherds left their fields so they could see
A beautiful baby boy was He
But Herod was jealous of this king
So the baby's parents fled the scene
They arrived in Nazareth to live
This child's mission on this earth was massive
The child soon turned into a man
And all of creation obeyed his command
For the blind could now see and the lame could walk
He caused the deaf to hear and the mute to talk
He said all we have to do is believe
And salvation we will receive
He taught the people with wisdom so true
His mission was to save me and you
He walked on water and fed five thousand
But because of their unbelief he was saddened
He prophesied of his own death
But after three days he'd breathe life's breath

Position To Fail
10/12/2013 – Michigan 40, Penn State 43 (4OT) – 5-1, 1-1 Big Ten
Mace triptych, by Eric Upchurch
Devin Gardner dropped back to pass. He had two guys in the route, both of them headed to the endzone from the 40 yard line. Two seconds later he ate a blindside sack, because Taylor Lewan was pretending he was a tight end and AJ Williams was pretending he was a left tackle.
Last year in Notre Dame Stadium, Denard Robinson faked a handoff and turned around to find Stephon Tuitt in his face. He reacted badly, because he always reacted badly in that situation.
This fall, Michigan told the offensive line they should do that stretch blocking thing the coaches had run maybe six times the previous two years.
Drew Dileo watched most of these things from the bench and Dennis Norfleet all of them because Michigan would rather play underclass tight ends who couldn't shove a toddler into a ball pit in three tries.
Any individual play can be blamed on a player. Any structural issue in the first couple years can be attached to the previous coach. But there's a breaking point at which it becomes clear that something is deeply wrong with the guys in charge, and this Penn State game was the offensive equivalent of watching Matt McGloin shred a clueless JT Floyd and company in 2010.
I went back into Michigan's statistics archive, which goes back to 1949, and pulled out the top 200 running back games in that database in terms of carries (the max allowed). The sample ranges from 51 to 23, and here's the bottom of it in YPC:
Name | Att | Net Yd | Yd/Att | TD | Lng | Season | Opponent |
Ron Johnson | 33 | 84 | 2.5 | 2 | 1968 | Minnesota | |
Don Moorhead | 25 | 57 | 2.3 | 0 | 1969 | Michigan State | |
Anthony Thomas | 29 | 60 | 2.1 | 0 | 8 | 2000 | Ohio State |
Jamie Morris | 27 | 52 | 1.9 | 1 | 7 | 1987 | Iowa |
Fitzgerald Toussaint | 27 | 27 | 1 | 0 | 12 | 2013 | Penn State |
We're talking about the worst game from a tailback in the history of the program here, and nothing about it was actually Toussaint's fault. This is Greg Robinson level output. The only faith you can have in the offensive coaching is that two to four times a year they will come out with a gameplan so clueless that you spend four quarters telling yourself that you won't send that BORGERG tweet out. It's time to break the seal.
There are ways to work around the personnel limitations Michigan has, but they are not the ones Michigan wants to run. They want to be a rough and tumble Stanford offense; they spend large chunks of games with one wide receiver and three guys vaguely inclined towards blocking, and they've spent almost a month of precious practice time installing an unbalanced formation that resulted in the above table as soon as an opponent saw it on tape. This has been a miscalculation as bad as believing Russell Bellomy was ready to back up the oft-injured Denard Robinson, with results exactly like the second half of last year's Nebraska game.
This is nothing like what Rodriguez did on offense because there was no offense in which Stephen Threet, Nick Sheridan, seven scholarship OL, and a parade of freshmen at wide receiver would be effective. It is instead exactly like what he did on defense: faithlessly pretend to fit personnel to scheme early, ditch that at the first sign of trouble, shoehorn players into roles they are not fit for, make alarmingly large mid-season changes, and get the minimum possible out of available talent. Michigan is 117th in tackles for loss allowed, giving up eight per game.
No offensive line is bad enough to pave the way for 27 yards on 27 carries, because teams running for one god damn yard an attempt stop doing it.
There are problems up and down the team that I can list if you like. Devin Gardner has Miley Cyrus-level ball security. Taylor Lewan went out. Rich Rodriguez didn't recruit any offensive linemen. Brendan Gibbons should be able to make a 33-yard field goal in the dead center of the field. Yes, all of these things. Granted. At some point, though, you zoom out from the micro issues that can be explained away and you get this:
Michigan 14, MSU 28: 250 yards of offense
Michigan 16, Iowa 24: 323 yards of offense, 166 50 minutes into the game when M went into hurry-up shotgun throwing
Michigan 23, Virginia Tech 20 (OT): 184 yards of offense
Michigan 6, ND 13: 299 yards of offense and 5 INTs
Michigan 9, Nebraska 23: 188 yards of offense and 3 INTs
Michigan 21, Ohio State 26: 279 yards of offense and 4 TOs
Michigan 28, UConn 24: 284 yards of offense and 3 TOs
Penn State 43, Michigan 40 (4OT): 389 yards of offense in 19 opportunities, zero OT TDs, 3 TO, worst rushing performance ever by a Michigan tailback
If you are so inclined you can add games against Alabama and MSU last year plus the 2011 Notre Dame game to the pile; I certainly don't think anything about UTL was to Borges's credit.
There have been some brilliant games over the last three years, but we're one upcoming debacle away from having a third straight year in which a quarter of Michigan's games feature offensive performances that are (almost) impossible to win with. Some of those could be explained away by injury or bad luck or a flood of turnovers from the quarterback, except that the offensive coordinator is also the quarterbacks coach.
After his year three at Michigan found high expectations dashed, John Beilein overhauled his program. Now he's coming off a national title game appearance, on the verge of making Michigan into a top-ten program. Unless there's a major turnaround, Brady Hoke's going to have some hard decisions this offseason.
Unless they're easy ones.
Bryan Fuller
Via BTN:
Brady Hoke Epic Double Point Of The Week. Frank Clark was in the right place at the right time to scoop a ball off the turf and score when Michigan opened the second half down eleven and added two sacks besides as part of the best damn 43-point performance college football's ever seen, so let's give it to him.
Honorable mention: Raymon Taylor had a pick and was generally avoided otherwise; Devin Funchess had another 100 yard game as a "tight end"; Jeremy Gallon remains an excellent safety blanket and all-around player.
Epic Double Point Standings.
1.0: Devin Gardner (ND), Jeremy Gallon (ND), Desmond Morgan(UConn), Devin Funchess(Minnesota), Frank Clark(PSU)
0.5: Cam Gordon (CMU), Brennen Beyer (CMU)
Brady Hoke Epic Double Fist-Pump Of The Week. Should I even do this after that? I probably shouldn't. I will anyway: Funchess's second touchdown displayed his incredible potential, as he shot through the center of the defense to get over the top. This one wins because Penn State was actually trying to cover him this time.
Honorable mention: Gallon's shake gets him wide open for a touchdown; Chris Wormley rips through to sack Hack, as does Jibreel Black, as does Frank Clark a couple times; Fitzgerald Toussaint gets past the line of scrimmage that one time.
Epic Double Fist-Pumps Past.
8/31/2013: Dymonte Thomas introduces himself by blocking a punt.
9/7/2013: Jeremy Gallon spins through four Notre Dame defenders for a 61-yard touchdown.
9/14/2013: Michigan does not lose to Akron. Thanks, Thomas Gordon.
9/21/2013: Desmond Morgan's leaping one-handed spear INT saves Michigan's bacon against UConn.
10/5/2013: Fitzgerald Toussaint runs for ten yards, gets touchdown rather easily.
10/12/2013: Devin Funchess shoots up the middle of the field to catch a 40 yard touchdown, staking Michigan to a ten-point lead they wouldn't relinquish. (Right?)
[After the JUMP: decisions, and the rest of things.]
Upon Further Review 2013: Offense vs Minnesota
FORMATION NOTES: Hello "tackle over":
Since these were standard formations that happened to have Lewan and Schofield next to each other I just named them as standard formations and noted them as "tackle over" before hand. I've also started noting the TO goal line formations.
As a reminder, TEs flitting in from the side to show up behind a guard are now designated with an H. This is "tackle over Ace Big H." I still consider these guys TEs.
Also Michigan's been using this enough (and Seth asked me about it) that I dubbed the shotgun formation where there are three WR to one side of the field with two guys tight to the line stacked "shotgun trips inner stack."
Chesson is motioning to line up outside of Funchess and Dileo.
Not to be confused with "shotgun trips stack," where all three WR are lined up over each other on the hash. Or "shotgun double stack," where there are, uh, double stacks.
SUBSTITUTION NOTES: Offensive line was as before save for the tackle over stuff, on which AJ Williams was always the tight-end type substance on the other end of the line. When Kalis got dinged, Joey Burzynski got three or four snaps.
Butt played a ton as the H-back TE. Funchess was mostly a wide receiver; when he did line up at tight end it wasn't a run. Paskorz got some playing time in the second half as another inline TE when Michigan went to three TE sets.
With Funchess consuming more WR snaps and a ton of looks with just one WR on the field, Reynolds and Jackson saw their playing time decrease substantially. Green got in frequently, picking up ten carries, and Justice Hayes got one snap in a two-back shotgun set on third and long.
[After THE JUMP: manball.]
Tuesday Presser Transcript 10-7-13: Al Borges
Got any big birthday plans?
"Oh come on. Daggone it. I thought that was a secret."
Word of the day?
"Uh. Word of the day? 'Improvement.' How's that?"
MGoQuestion: What kind of improvement did you see from the offensive line?
"No turnovers, number one. That's the offense, not the offensive line. I've said it before, when the turnovers go away, a lot of the problems go away. They don't all go away, but a lot of it, because you get possessions. That's the key. You get to keep your possessions. You get to take advantage of them, because they're precious. That's really as much from an offensive perspective the reason we won the game as any."
One Frame At A Time: Minnesota
For the final time, Jon Falk hands off the Jug. These little moments are what make college football so special—name another sport in which the fans know the name of a beloved equipment manager and care deeply about a century-old water jug that doubles as a trophy in a severely one-sided rivalry.
Many more GIFs of the Jug, as well as a whole lot of Funchess, alumni cheerleaders, and more after the jump.
Picture Pages: Funchess On The Loose
A few weeks ago, Devin Gardner was the king of turnovers, baseball existed, and no one other than Jeremy Gallon was the target of passes. None of these things are true anymore—NONE—thanks in large part to Michigan exploring the idea of using Devin Funchess as a large and generally in charge wide receiver. Michigan's second touchdown was an excellent example of what happens when you focus too much one one guy and how Funchess can be effective even if he's not as fast as a really fast guy.
It's third and fourteen after Chris Bryant got smoked for a sack on second and five; Michigan comes out with a trips formation with Gallon the lone receiver to the bottom of the screen. Jake Butt, Drew Dileo, and Devin Funchess are bunched to the top of the screen. Minnesota responds with a 3-3-5 stack look and one deep safety:
Minnesota's coverage is going to end up super inane. They'll rush three, leave all three linebackers in no-mans land neither pressuring Gardner or covering anyone, and bracket Jeremy Gallon, leaving one on one coverage on all three guys to the trips side.
Below here is an approximation of what they do. Linebackers have been designated "blorp" in an attempt to get the reader thinking about the walrus defensive coordinator accidentally blowing bubbles with his own spit instead of whether he should have called this defense on third and fourteen.
Now, two of these guys seem to have obvious tasks. One is in man coverage on Toussaint. The other is spying Gardner. The third, the top-most blorp, seems to be in a robber zone type thing to the trips side of the field.
A moment after the snap, Michigan's plan is revealed:
Butt runs an out at the LOS; Dileo tries to get up the seam. He'll be held and thrown to the ground, drawing a flag. Funchess releases upfield, well past the blorp zone, and is one on one with Martez Shabazz, a senior JUCO transfer who hasn't started for Minnesota in his career.
Shabazz has already turned to run with Funchess at this point, when Funchess is five yards off of him:
That's because Funchess is angling for the corner of the endzone, selling fade.
This evaporates from the screen shortly after, but on replay you can see Funchess flip the defensive back entirely around as he breaks to the post.
You may remember "defensive back turns 360 degrees" from such things as the 2010 defense. More likely you made sure you do not remember that by liberal application of whiskey. Either way, your result is separation.
Gardner's throw is high and a little behind, but Funchess don't care, and the defensive back is trying to get a PBU on a guy who's 1) a half foot taller than him, 2) leaping, and 3) made of solid material.
It is now 14-7.
Slow not really necessary here. Here's a couple of replay angles, the first of which does a good job of showing Funchess selling fade and his quick transition to the post. That's a quality route even with the stumble.
Items Of Interest
This defensive call is ridiculous. It's third and fourteen and you don't give your crappy backup corner any help against Devin Funchess. I get bracketing Gallon, sure. But going straight man against three WRs without any help at all is asking for a facepunching. Here is a facepunching.
I also get spying Gardner, and covering Toussaint out of the backfield once you've scouted Michigan's wheel route predilection. It's that third linebacker hanging out nine yards downfield that really gets me.
Devin Funchess can turn around Minnesota defensive backs. This was far from an isolated occurrence. Here it seems like the CB is thinking "oh crap oh crap oh crap this giant robot thing is going to put a fade on my face," bails super early to the corner, and then gets turned around easy on the post. At that point it's all over even if Gardner's throw is less than perfect, as it is, because anything up high requires the DB to go through Funchess's butt (not that Butt) to even get a finger on his arms.
Can Funchess do this to better opposition? That's the question. It was interesting to watch Michigan State go up against 6'5" Admiral-spawn Corey Robinson in the Notre Dame game, as he presented a lot of the same issues. State had those safety things in the middle of the field, though, which limited Robinson to sideline routes on which he was fairly successful, catching 3 balls for 54 yards and drawing a couple of pass interference calls. Funchess is pretty much the same guy.
He'll have to prove it down the stretch here. I think his route running skills are quality enough to make him an option, and even when guys get over the top, the Hemingway Option always remains on the table.
Better behind and high than on target. What is the nature of "on target"? This not-perfect throw works out perfectly because of the nature of Devin Funchess. If it hits him in the hands in stride there are defensive backs other than this one who will be there to break it up. If you lay it up and let the guy get the rebound, nobody's defending this.
The nature of on target varies with the target. Gardner seemed a bit off with his timing in this one, resulting in a number of balls that forced receivers to reach behind them. Funchess has proven very good at this in his career, and his general enormousness moves throws that are definite incompletions to Gallon into big chunks of yards:
That's why Michigan's receiving corps is about to be land of the giants.
With Funchess threatening, it will be a struggle for defenses to cover everything. Minnesota tries to play it safe by rushing three, which gives Gardner time. Despite the fact that they have eight guys in coverage their fear of Gardner's scrambling ability pulls guys out of relevant coverage, and while they could still put one of those safety guys back there, Dileo's route up the seam will give hypothetical safety a choice between those two folks and Gardner should have an option either way.
Great Scott, Hokepoints Was Heavy
That is 2,728 pounds—1.24 metric tons—in the box for those weighing at home.
On 1st and 10. MANBRAAAHHHLLL!!!
Before the Minnesota game I tweeted that I'd be perfectly content if Borges debuted a completely new package and used it to beat up on the Gophers at home a la 2011. So here I am, being content.
The unbalanced stuff I'm sure Brian will picture page and Space Coyote and Burgeoning Wolverine Star will peel it apart as well; since they know more about that stuff I'll leave it to them. What I would like to do is look at the heavy formations in the macro: how Big did Michigan actually go, how effective it was on a yards-per-play basis, and whether it matches the personnel.
By "big" I mean fewer receivers in the formation. The lower that number, the more backs and TEs, and thus the "heavier" the formation. How big?
Average Receivers in Formation:
Season | Overall | Normal downs* |
2008 | 3.14 | 3.14 |
2009 | 2.84 | 2.90 |
2010 | 3.13 | 3.15 |
2011 | 2.59 | 2.60 |
2012 | 2.52 | 2.55 |
2013 games 1-4 | 2.30 | 2.29 |
2013 Minnesota | 1.83 (!) | 1.79 (!) |
That is big—like we should all have pronounced brow ridges and live in caves and the equipment sponsor is Mousterian big. I counted Funchess as a WR when he was in a 2-point stance; if you file him as a half tight end (you shouldn't) it gets even heavier. A lot of the three-wide was on the time-sensitive last drive of the 1st half—that you should count.
Did it work? Did it work better than the stuff Michigan has been doing until now? Did they always run to the side they unbalanced? We see after the jump.

Heartwood and Sapwood: We use both heartwood & sapwood in our furniture and do our best to keep the grain color consistent. You may however, notice grain color variations particularly on the bottom of table tops and on table legs.
Mineral Deposits: One characteristic of natural wood (particularly cherry) is the mineral deposit--a small black fleck in the grain where sap was stored. Mineral deposits (or pitch pockets) are natural and randomly occurring. They do not diminish the strength or quality of your furniture, but rather add to its uniqueness.
Cherry Wood Color: Natural cherry wood starts out as a light-toned wood. It darkens as it is exposed to light. This process depends upon the amount of natural and artificial light in the room. It can take anywhere from a month to a number of years. Most customers report that their furniture darkens within 4-6 months.
Furniture Returns: The use of sapwood and frequency of mineral deposits in our furniture is reflected in the product photos throughout our website. Like any other fine furniture maker, we cannot guarantee the absence of mineral deposits or sapwood and we cannot consider their presence a reason for furniture returns.
