"John's music reminds me of being in the Blue Ridge Mountains, high on a hill all alone and hearing the sound of the mountains coming from all around and filling your soul with the feeling that everything is just right in that place. His voice is strong and pure and harkens back to a time when there was no need for electronic enhancement and tuning adjustments. In short, John is the real thing and is just incredible."
It's been a busy year! My band, Red June, returned to the studio in December to record our third album, Ancient Dreams, which was released on Organic Records in April. In addition to the band, I've also had a lot of performances this year with my wife and amazing fiddler, Natalya Weinstein as our duet project, Zoe & Cloyd (our middle names). Check it out if you like traditional bluegrass and old-time music with a dose of originality. We're in the process of recording an album and are looking forward to its release in early 2015.
2013 was a big year for me as I was excited to win 1st prize in the Chris Austin Songwriting Contest at MerleFest in the bluegrass category with my song, Cloud of Dust. Also, last year I was awarded a NC Artist Fellowship for songwriting from the NC Arts Council. The goal of the fellowship is to support the creative development of NC artists and I was very honored to be one of just two winners selected from over 50 applicants.
As always, be sure to check out the Red June and Zoe & Cloyd sites for updates and performance schedules.
Thanks for visiting!
- John

After lots of trial and error, I have devised the following procedure for cutting milkweed to place in small vases or water tubes to feed to my cats: The night before I want to cut it I really soak the ground to allow the plant to hydrate fully. In the early morning I cut the milkweed almost at the base - I find that works better than cutting off the tops. I bring a container of water out to the garden and immediately place the cut stems in water after cutting. When I bring it in I rinse everything with water. Sometimes I get a little wilting, but generally this method has been working for me. Once it is in the house for a few hours I cut sections of stems and leaves with no problem. |

Thanks. I will try that later this summer/early fall when the Monarchs are migrating through! ~Laura |
Mostone, there is a thread or 2 from previous years whre Ladobe discusses the subject of keeping cut larval food fresh long-term. Ladobe claimed he could keep it fresh for MONTHS by using the refrigerator, and rinsing and repackaging, but you'd have to search for his threads for the exact details. I have more Monarchs to feed than I have milkweed in the yard. So I'm collecting wild Asclepias syriaca from a wet meadow about a mile away. I hike down with a backpack, large ziploc bags, and some florist water tubes. I cut whole stalks also, and immediately insert into florist tubes. Then place into the large ziplocs. When I get home, I rinse the milkweed well, shake it off, then rinse the zipper bags well, shake out, and place it back into bags, still damp. Then into the fridge. It works extremely well! Also did this with Sassafras collected in the wild for the Spicebush swallowtails last year. I was able to feed those buggers for days without them staging a mutiny! They were very fussy about having fresh food and if they don't have it they go AWOL. |
That's great, terrene. I should have specified that I have tropical milkweed in my yard. Thankfully, I think it will be enough to get us through this butterfly season. |
Hi mostone, that's great you have a lot of tropical. My plants are small only 6-8 inches, so I can't feed the large cats with it. But I start the hatchlings on tropical, and feed it to them up until about 2nd-3rd instar. Then they go into the "big cat cage" which is a pop up enclosure where they are fed stalks of common milkweed. Here's another trick I read about on the Cutting Garden forum that someone talked about for keeping cut flowers fresh. Not sure I'm conveying their exact method, but this worked really well on both tropical and common cuttings. Make a fresh cut on the stem, and then immediately immerse the whole cutting/stalk into a bowl/pan of fresh water. Let soak for a half hour or hour. I thought the idea of immersing a whole cut flower in water was weird, but the tropical cuttings that underwent this treatment are holding up exceptionally well in the floral foam for the baby cats. And tropical seems to be the one that wilts the fastest. |
Hhhmmm... I'll have to try that. Thanks! |

Marjorie Palmer, Baptiste LaFaye, Mr. Bluebird (one of two), one Sophy's Rose of two, a baby Souvenir de President Carnot, Pink Lafayette and Pink Soupert are the latest casualties, roses that have mostly been around for two years and are struggling more and more in the heat. Mrs. Dudley Cross is the next to go. On the plus side, roses that weren't doing well and have improved by moving to a shadier location such as Emily, Souvenir du President Carnot (the older one), Hoag House Cream and Dr. O'Donel Brown have really encouraged me. My aim is to preserve the rarer varieties that can succeed here. I'm not willing to waste lots of water on roses that haven't proved themselves, which leaves more for the winners. Fewer and better roses are my goal in the face of greater heat, drought and limited water resources. Ingrid |
Follow-Up Postings:
You're definitely on the right track, Ingrid, not only for the water issues, but (ahem) as we "mature", the more there is to take care of, the harder it is. Notice I used "WE". There was no intention to suggest anyone other than myself is experiencing the desire to have less work required to keep my obsession going. But, it's the truth. It's far easier to care for ten roses PROPERLY than it is to try doing a half-baked job of caring for fifty, both physically as well as mentally. And, ten take far less water than fifty. However, if you want to increase shade in your garden to enable yourself to grow a few more you might not be quite ready to let go of yet, think about planting a few Dodnea (Hopseed Bush) between the worst of the sun exposure and where you want the roses to grow. You've already seen what increasing shade in the more severe climates can do for the roses. Shade can be created by careful placing of a few, well chosen plants. Hopseed is a very forgiving, easily maintained plant and just might help enable you to push a bit further, a bit longer. Crepe Myrtles can also be used, but they have much larger, woodier roots which may not be something you want to deal with in some beds. Kim |

Do you guys have sentimental attachment to roses you have to let go? I am now in the position of getting rid of a lot of my roses (20 of them) because I will be moving out of the house soon. All my roses are in containers. I might take 3 of them with me. I can't give my roses to my friends because they don't like roses due to high maintenance. I feel like wasting money by throwing things away. This is the second time I had to throw roses away due to relocation. I feel really bad. |
Kim, you're right about crape myrtle roots, I do believe. In the back where I have wide, long-branched crape myrtles the roses in that area are not doing so well. In fact, two of the ones I culled are in that very area and the third one I had to replant to another place because it simply sat there, month after month. Thanks for pointing that out. I don't have any unpaved space in which to plant anything large like a dodonea, Kim. My gardening areas are uniquely awkward and chopped up and the individual areas are too small to tinker with to any extent. If I ripped everything out and let a master garden designer and architect loose......well, we know that isn't going to happen. And yes, I'm definitely one of those "mature" gardeners who wants and needs less work. I just found out yesterday that I have a torn rotator cuff, although fortunately it's in my left shoulder. jumbojimmy, the roses I tossed were small, insignificant entities that only a mother could love. Having to let go of more mature specimens that actually flowered and made their presence known in a positive way is an altogether different experience. My heart goes out to you because what you're having to do is awful. Isn't there any way you can take more than three? Of course they'd have to be the best of the best, those you just can't let go. Ingrid |
- Posted by thonotorose FL 9 (My Page) on Tue, Aug 12, 14 at 20:54
jumbojimmy, Do you have a local rose society? They may have knowledge of other rose lovers who would LOVE to have your roses. I wish you the best. Ingrid, I am sad for you and all others who deal with the serious challenge of unending drought. It does sound like you are taking wise steps. |

Too bad about Pink Lafayette since Vintage was the last one who sold it (or so it shows on HMF) |
Kippy, Pink Lafayette did very poorly for me. It was in afternoon shade, carefully watered and mulched, also fertilized, and it never became larger than band size. I think it had two flowers in more than a year. I could no longer justify the water I was giving it. If it's a worthwhile rose, hopefully someone else will offer it at some time Ingrid |
- Posted by Kippy-the-Hippy 10 Sunset 24 (My Page) on Wed, Aug 13, 14 at 0:11
I hope you are right, looks like it is in 4 other gardens. |
It looks like it is being preserved in the San Jose Heritage Rose Garden. Anne |
- Posted by Kippy-the-Hippy 10 Sunset 24 (My Page) on Wed, Aug 13, 14 at 1:17
Never mind me Ingrid. I have a hard time culling certain plants. When there are only a few left it just is hard for me to see one less. I have a stupid hedge I really don't enjoy but it has has the possibility of being almost 100 years old and likely from an important local nursery. So it stays...guava hedge and I wish I could get a scion back from the apple my dad hybridized but it never made it in to enough gardens for me to find one alive |
I feel that pain, too, Kippy. I wouldn't take out the guava hedge, either. I'm sorry you can't find your dad's apple. I've felt that pain over lost roses, particularly when I've known the person who bred it and then wished they could once again grow it. Barney Gardner bred Dream Dust. Ralph Moore used it to breed Rosetone. Dennison Morey and ROYAT both sold it through their nurseries. Barney lost it and fortunately, found it still growing at a childhood friend's home who bought it in the late sixties and maintained it because it represented "the local boy who made good" to him. It hurts, but you just can't hold on to everything. Kim |
I am shocked to find myself quite mean and heartless. I suspect that making the decisions what to take to our woods is considerably easier at this point in the year when everything is a rampantly, bindweed attacked mess....rather than back in June when it all looked lovely. I find that out of over 100 roses, only around 20 are being bare-rooted and moved - the rest, well, who cares. But then, I am one of those gardeners who is in love with the process rather than the results. Once I have sown, grown and admired a plant, boredom kicks in. As soon as that climactic blooming appears, like the shameless trollop that I am, I have a cigarette, roll over and go to sleep (metaphorically, obvs, since I am now in thrall to e,cigs). Also, being a cheapskate, when I have paid good cash money for a plant, I am damn well getting some value out of it....but since I chuck seeds around with prolific abandon, it is startlingly easy to cull with glee - armfuls at a time. Might just get the Austrian scythe out, in fact and really go at it. |
There are some I regret losing, but I will save what I can -- knowing that as I grow older, caring for things down on the hillside will be less and less feasible. Can't save everything. |

Lately Ive been getting random, intense cramps on the right side of my pelvis that usually last no longer that 10 seconds.
I've been feeling slight nausea. Today my lower back was in pain. Ive been getting headaches and my breasts are tender. My appitite hasnt been up to par and I also have been getting a slight burning sensation in the top of my stomach right in the middle underneath my rib cage. And I have also been burping alot. Please help.
Three years ago, when I had my son, a nurse gave me a DTAP shot. Everything went fine, until a year later when I noticed a boil like spot on my skin where the shot was given.
The area was filled with puss and after it was removed and healed there was a small circular scar where the needle was at. Then 2 years later, it happened all over again. I don't know if it was a scar getting infected or if it was a reaction to the shot. Any ideas would be helpful, just in case I ever need another DTAP shot.
During 13week of pregnancy glucose test after 50gm glucose intake (and sample taken after one hour) is carried out which revealed 178mg/dL(abnormal).But test carried out after 75gm glucose intake (and sample taken after two hours) revealed 121mg/dL(which is less than 140mg/dL and therefore normal).Does it mean the patient is diabetic?the fasting glucose is 104mg/dL
Please suggest me if the IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatment for the removal of facial hairs can be taken during pregnancy.
Thanks & regards

Verizon will have 4G wireless data speeds for customers in South Florida starting Sunday, the company announced Wednesday.
Although there are no smartphones that work with Verizon's 4G network for sale, it will work with two mobile USB modems that give portable Internet access to notebook computers.
The new 4G compatible USB modems (made by LG and Pantech) will go on sale Sunday for $99.99 each, after rebate and a two-year contract. Data plans are $50 a month for 5 GB of data, and $80 for 10 GB. If a customer goes over, they are charged an additional $10 per gigabyte, and will be warned via text message when they approach their plan's data limit.
"Virtually all our customers will find their usage fits into these two plans," said Tony Melone, Verizon's senior vice president and chief technical officer.
The 4G technology Verizon uses is called LTE (long term evolution). Melone said it is 10 times faster than the current 3G network, allowing for a 10 megabyte presentation to be downloaded in 10 seconds.
During the press conference, Melone said Verizon will sell smartphones that can use 4G by mid 2011.
South Florida is among the first 38 metro areas Verizon is deploying 4G speeds. A street-level map of 4G coverage will be available on Verizon's website starting on Sunday.
Sprint launched its 4G network on Monday, which uses a different technology called WiMAX. T-Mobile launched its version of 4G, called HSPA+, to South Florida in August. AT&T will begin offering LTE 4G in mid 2011.
Also offering 4G Internet access for laptops is Comcast, who began selling Internet 2go this week, along with Clearwire, which owns the 4G WiMAX networks Sprint and Comcast use.

What entrepreneurial physicians should have in their libraries
I have a confession to make - I am a sucker for books! Sometimes it feels like an addiction - I get the "must haves" for a book and order it ASAP, only to have it sit unread on my book shelf for months and even years.
Some of my learning about business has come purely from books. More often than not, a book or magazine article has been the trigger for a deeper exploration - perhaps a conversation with an "expert", a phone call to a friend who works in the area, or retaining a professional service person to help me really grasp the knowledge! And then the books have been my faithful companions as I have been guided to solve business problems or develop my skills.
Some reading materials have been crucial to my development as an entrepreneur, and since I was asked the question today by an aspiring physician entrepreneur "Do you have any books you could recommend for getting started in business?", I thought I'd compile a quick list here to share with you all.
The reading that has had the greatest impact on my growth as a business person includes:
The E-Myth Revisited, by Michael Gerber. This book teaches business owners the skills of thinking not only like a Technician (someone with the "technical" skills to deliver a service), but also like an Entrepreneur working ON rather than IN a business, and like a Manager who is putting in place reliable and repeatable Systems and Processes for efficient and effective operations. It was an eye opener for me early on in business.
Gerber has two companion books that are relevant and helpful - "The E-Myth Physician: Why Most Medical Practices Don't Work and What To Do About It" and "E-Myth Mastery", a detailed workbook.
Flawless Consulting: A Guide to Getting Your Expertise Used, by Peter Block. This is a MUST READ for anyone who plans to offer consulting expertise. The take home message - your greatest value as a consultant to another business derives from the powerful combination of your expertise and your authenticity.
The One Page Business Plan, by Jim Horan. This high quality workbook engaged me right away with it's insightful questions about why I wanted to be in business, who I wanted to serve and how I wanted to serve them.
I have used this book over and over with my coaching clients, and when I wrote to the author Jim Horan hoping to have him be a guest interviewee at one of my monthly teleclasses, I was thrilled when he said "yes". Look out for the April teleclass in which I interview him - the class will be posted for your registration after March 21st.
StartUpNation, by Jeff Sloan and Rich Sloan. From their Life Plan to their completed Business Plan, the Sloan brothers offer a quick but detailed overview of the steps needed to go into business. They have a companion website at StartUpNation.com filled with free content about business.
Entrepreneur magazine and its companion website, Entrepreneur.com. This inexpensive monthly magazine is rich with tips, ideas and resources.
Fast Company magazine and its companion website, FastCompany.com. This subscription too is inexpensive and the monthly magazine profiles many different interesting companies, services and products.
There are many more books I could recommend for reading from cover to cover, but this is enough to get you thinking like a business person.
For valuable reference books, here are my top three:
Streetwise Small Business Book of Lists, edited by Gene Marks
The Entrepreneur's Desk Reference, by Jane Applegate
201 Great Ideas for Your Small Business, by Jane Applegate
Finally, for those of you who are Book Hogs like me, a terrific investment is Amazon Prime, if you like to purchase books frequently over the Internet. For an annual fee of $79, you can have all your books (and many non-book items, including grocery items, that qualify for Amazon Prime shipping) shipped f.ree with a two-day delivery time (or $3.99 for overnight delivery). It is a most satisfying experience ordering something and having it arrive two days later, with no shipping charges!
Please share your great resources here, if you have any. I'm always on the lookout for good stuff.

☸☸Well hello there love...
☸☸Well hello there love...
Well, hello there people. I am Captain Lexie, but you may call me either Captain, or Alexis. I have no idea how long I've been on Gaia, but it seems like it's been quite a while. On my free time I like to sing, listen to music, read, play video games, play piano (Yeah, rarely.), draw, surf the internet, and role-play here on Gaia. Before you ask, no, sorry, I don't do requests for art. My friends already make them draw them so much stuff that I'm drowning in a sea of unfinished drawings, which is one of my nightmares as an artist. D: (Careful everyone, we've got a tortured and misunderstood artist over here! xD) I have a passion for learning new languages, I pick them up fairly easily. I am currently learning to speak German, but I'd like to learn to Russian, and then maybe French. Anyways, urm, I belong to many different fandoms. Although I do need to catch up on some of them. D: Also, I really to love watch movies, not as much as reading though.
I AM THE MASTER OF CRUTCHES!!! Hehe, sorry about that, I'm in a cast as I'm writing this, thus the subject of crutches. Why are you the master of crutches you ask? Well, I was on my high-school's lacrosse team, and there's a ton of ankle related injuries in lacrosse. So, as I was leaping for the ball,... (No, no, no, that isn't how it happened.) Shut up, yes it is. (No, it isn't.) Alright fine, what happened is that during practice, I dropped the ball, stepped on it, rolled my ankle, then continued to scream in utter pain. God, that hurt so freaking much. But, now that I've had surgery to tighten my tendons that were loosened, I am now recovering. So if any of you out there reading this, think before you join Lacrosse, or any sport for that matter. I didn't. And now I'm the Master Overlord of Crutches. (Wasn't it just Master of Crutches?) No. Shuddup me. (Whatever, you're weird.) What?! Wait! WE'RE THE SAME PERSON!! (Maybe.) Okay, I think I should just end this before this turns into a full fledged out war with myself. Bye-now! Feel free to comment or message me!

By Ellyn Ruddick-Sunstein in Style on Nov 21, 2013
On Monday, BUST's Katie Fustich introduced us to "23 Trends Guys Hate," a ridiculous list published on Huffington Post outlining various fashion trends men find unattractive on women. The original piece sparked obvious anger: how presumptuous is it for anyone to assume that someone dresses themselves for another's benefit? Clearly, women don't dress for the sole purpose of pleasing men, so if some dude hates our high-waisted skirts, it's not the end of the world.
Instead of tearing people down for how we present ourselves, we should celebrate it. Ship Without a Rudder's Mariel has the antidote to our 23-things-blues in "11 Trends Guys Love (And Women Love Too)," a tongue-in-cheek critique of popular men's fashion. Unlike the original list, Merial's response isn't meant to earnestly criticize the other sex; it simply dismantles the entire premise of one sex judging another's clothing. Because obviously women could also compile a list male trends that we find offensive, aesthetically or culturally.
In a particularly biting passage, she expresses womankind's "love" for those ever-present "Graphic Tees with Sexual Innuendo:" Parodying the shirts' ridiculous assumption that sexual puns will garner female admiration, she writes, "If your shirt says 'Volley my balls please' or 'Professional Booty Inspector,' you're obviously out of my league." Check the list out here for more comedic gems! Thanks, Mariel!
Thanks to Ship Without a Rudder

Four Northeast Ohio tech firms make Deloitte's Fast 500
Blog Entry:
November 15, 2012 10:00 AM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
Northeast Ohio is well represented in the
2012 Deloitte Technology Fast 500
, an annual ranking of the fastest-growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences and clean technology companies in North America.
Deloitte says award winners were selected based on percentage fiscal year revenue growth from 2007 to 2011. For the 17th consecutive year, there are more software companies on the Technology Fast 500 than any other single sector.
Four Northeast Ohio companies made the list:
, a software company in Akron, with fiscal 2007-2011 revenue growth of 503%, good enough to rank No. 182 on the list
OverDrive Inc.
, a digital media software company in Valley View, with revenue growth of 382%, placing No. 221 on the list
Athersys Inc.
, a biotech/pharmaceutical company in Cleveland, with revenue growth of 217%, good for No. 351
Hyland Software
of Westlake, with revenue growth of 131%, putting it No. 495 on the Deloitte list.
A new step
A Hagerstown, Md., company called
, which makes circular and spiral staircases,
has bought
an Akron-based stair manufacturer and is shifting the production work to Maryland.
Duvinage president Robert A. Maruszewski tells
The Herald-Mail
of Hagerstown that the purchase of
Sharon Stairs
of Akron and the transfer of its equipment and work orders are complete.
Because of the additional production, he said, "Duvinage expects to add 50 more jobs in Hagerstown in the next five years — and possibly more, as the economy improves," the newspaper reports.
Duvinage had 47 employees in 2007, before the recession, but that count had fallen to 20 by last year. After hiring three of Sharon Stairs' workers, Duvinage now has 25 employees, according to the newspaper.
Sharon Stairs, also known as Worthington Metal Fabricators, makes egress stairs, which lead from floor to floor in office buildings, hotels and similar structures.
Mr. Maruszewski tells the newspaper that when Duvinage learned last April that Sharon Stairs' owners planned to close the company, he asked about buying the brand and the design.
Sharon Stairs had a backload of business orders to get through, the paper reports, "so Duvinage agreed to buy the business, the equipment and the inventory."
Remember us?
should not come as a surprise: Businessweek.com says that a new
commissioned by the Small Business Administration finds that "government bailouts for banks did little to relieve the credit crunch for Main Street companies."
Indeed, "banks that took taxpayer money during the financial crisis of 2008-09 cut their lending to small businesses more than other banks did," the website reports, based on research by Rebel Cole, a DePaul University economist.
Small business loans outstanding "dropped 18 percent, from a peak of $659 billion in 2008 to $543 billion in 2011, according to Cole's analysis," Businessweek.com reports. "TARP banks cut their lending to small businesses by 21 percent in that period, compared to a 14 percent drop at other banks."
In an interview, Prof. Cole said the bank bailout amounted to "a bait and switch." The U.S. government, he says, asked banks "to lend that money to small businesses and they didn't do it. They shored up their capital position."
Southern comfort
It's a big day for
Paladar Latin Kitchen & Rum Bar
of Woodmere, which
is opening
a restaurant in Hallandale, Fla., its third location.
Paladar already has locations in Woodmere, which opened in 2007, and Annapolis, Md., which opened in 2010.
The Broward-Palm Beach New Times
reports that the Florida Paladar is 10,000 square feet — 7,000 square feet inside and a 3,000-square-foot patio — and is directly across from the Gulfstream Casino.
The fare is inspired by South and Central America, Cuba, and the Caribbean, and, as the name suggests, it has a wide selection of flavored and spiced, white, gold, dark, and aged rums.

Multi-vehicle crash claims life of Denham Springs woman
POSTED: Saturday, April 21, 2012 - 12:30pm
UPDATED: Saturday, April 21, 2012 - 12:34pm
BATON ROUGE, LA (NBC33) — Louisiana State Police Troop A investigated a multiple-vehicle fatal crash last night on US 61 north of Barringer Foreman Road. The crash, which occurred shortly after 8:30 p.m., claimed the life of a Denham Springs woman and injured three others.
Troopers' preliminary investigation revealed that Julie Hillman, 54, of Denham Springs was driving a 2004 GMC Envoy south on US 61 when she struck the rear of a 2000 International flatbed truck that was stopped at the intersection with Barringer Foreman Road. The truck was pushed forward into the northbound lanes, where it was struck by two additional vehicles, a 2000 Ford Crown Victoria, and a 2010 Toyota Tundra. Hillman was pronounced deceased at the scene by the East Baton Rouge Coroner's Office. The other drivers involved in the crash sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
It is unknown if impairment was a factor in the crash on Hillman's part, but Troopers have submitted a sample of her blood to the Louisiana State Police Crime Lab for chemical analysis.
Impairment was not suspected on the part of the three additional drivers, Steven Blackwell, 48, of Prairieville, Muhammad Salaaum, 64, of Baton Rouge, and Charles Schaffield, 59, of Baton Rouge. Blackwell and Schaffield both sustained minor injuries and were treated at the scene by first responders. Salaaum was transported to a local hospital and treated for his injuries.
Troopers urge motorists to remain cautious and alert at all times while driving. Troopers also remind motorists of the importance of seat belt use and the dangers of driving while impaired. Just following a few simple rules of the road can save lives. NEVER drive impaired, NEVER get into a vehicle with an impaired driver, NEVER allowed an impaired person to drive, and ALWAYS wear your seatbelt.

Crumble-topped apple pies used to be my absolute favorite type of pie. When I was a little kid, I was even known to ask servers in a restaurants whether their pies were crumble-topped or not, and base my dessert decisions entirely on their answers.

Pumpkin Pie, Squared
The first thing you might notice about this piece of pumpkin pie is that it does not look like a traditional slice of pie.

Key Lime Pie (unbaked)
I don't like baked key lime pies. Some people say that they taste the same (or very similar), but I still object.

Video: Ohio State pauses for nap time
August, 22, 2012
By Playbook Visuals | ESPN.com
Nap time. Even football players need it. Even Urban Meyer's football players need it. So the new Ohio State coach sends his players off for some sleep -- but doesn't let them go far, making the Buckeyes choose from among 70-75 inflated air mattresses then find a fitting place to put them. Check it out, via ESPN's Ohio State All-Access.

Has anyone used BM Advance paint on new cabinets? We're trying to decide between Satin Impervo Alkyd, Waterborne Satin Impervo, and the newer Advance product. We want a product that is very durable and levels well, and we were thinking about oil for those reasons, but keep hearing about the issues with yellowing. Our cabinets will be a very light creamy white; they are in the kitchen so we'll need a durable paint.
We've also heard Muralo Ultra Super Premium Waterborne Finish is good - anyone have comments on Muralo vs. the BM products? |

I was just at BM today looking for a creamy white as well. I was thinking that Aura would be the way to go for my kitchen cabs but the guy there talked me in to trying the Advance. (sorry haven't tried it yet) Someone here said that on the scale of yellowing, oil would be a 10, water a 2 and the Advance a 4. I guess I really can't help too much . I can't get Muralo here and have never tried the Satin Impervo .. The problem is : I'm an over-brusher. |

Senate expected to unveil redistricting plan today; vote tomorrow
Published: May 1,2012
Tags: census, elections, lawmakers, legislators, Legislature, Politics, population, redistricting, representation, state government, voters, votes, Voting
JACKSON — Mississippi Senate leaders plan to reveal redistricting plans for the chamber this afternoon, with the intention of asking the full Senate to approve the map tomorrow.
Republican Sen. Merle Flowers, of Southaven, is redistricting chairman for the 52-member chamber. He said Monday that the proposed new map should make most senators happy.
"I think we will post a large number on the votes," Flowers told The Associated Press.
He also said he believes the map will be approved by the U.S. Justice Department, which checks to ensure that the new districts don't dilute minority voting strength.
Legislative districts have to be updated after every Census to reflect population changes of the previous decade. Between 2000 and 2010, there was significant growth in Flowers' home base of DeSoto County, which is just south of Memphis, Tenn. Population also grew in the suburbs around the capital city of Jackson, while it decreased in Jackson itself. Parts of the rural and economically struggling Delta also lost population.
The 122-member House approved its own new map last week, and that awaits Senate consideration.
The House also must approve the Senate plan.
Legislators debated redistricting for several weeks in 2011 without agreeing on plans. At the time, Republicans controlled the Senate and Democrats controlled the House. The GOP won control of both chambers in the November general election.
The lawmakers who worked on redistricting in 2011 had more flexibility to rearrange the maps because several members of the House and Senate were retiring or running for other offices. With open seats, the chairmen didn't have to think as much about avoiding hurting the feelings of colleagues who might see their districts dramatically rearranged or even collapsed to make way for new districts in high-growth areas.
"The stakes were a little bit higher this year," Flowers said, noting that he's dealing with 52 senators who, at this point, all intend to seek re-election.
Mississippi's population is 37 percent black. Its voting-age population is 35 percent black.
The Senate currently has 12 majority-black districts, or 24 percent of the 52 seats. A Senate plan the ultimately failed in 2011, drawn by a different Republican chairman, would have increased that to 15 seats, or 29 percent.
According to criteria adopted by the redistricting committee, the number of residents of each new House and Senate district must be no more than 5 percent higher or 5 percent lower than the ideal population. The ideal population for a new Senate district is 57,063.
The redistricting committee's website shows the most underpopulated current Senate district is District 12, in parts of Bolivar and Washington counties, which has 13,491 fewer residents than it needs. The district, which is majority-black, is represented by Democratic Sen. Derrick Simmons of Greenville.
The most overpopulated current Senate district is the current District 19, which is entirely within DeSoto County and is represented by Flowers. It is majority-white and has 25,931 more residents than it needs.

When we met Millhouse in Arcatraz and released him, he was simply more than glad to help us put a hurting on Harbinger Skyriss after it insulted him and cause a bit of mayhem.
As for the theory that he was driven mad from spending time next to a minion of the Old Gods, I don't recall anywhere in the game where the minions themselves drive people mad, only the imprisoned Old Gods themselves do that.

Coaching Personality, Unhappiness, and Career Choice
By Curt Canada
Are you unhappy in your job or career? Maybe you find yourself watching the clock, having tension headaches or an upset stomach, avoiding certain people or tasks, and suffering from degraded self esteem.
And then perhaps you go home to your family and relieve all that tension and frustration by talking it out or doing something physical like going to the gym. Unfortunately, that only provides a temporary respite, because the next day the problems are still there, sometimes looming even larger than ever.
You may feel it's impossible to deal with work-related stresses because there is so much in your work space that you cannot control. A life coach can help you put all that into perspective and give you a balanced view of your job in the context of your whole potential and your whole life.
We often blame other people—our supervisors or co-workers—for our unhappiness. They frustrate, disappoint, insult, manipulate, and complain. I had a friend in college who was very unhappy in her job, but as I watched her transition through two more jobs I noticed that she always had an elevated level of "trauma drama" with her associates. An outgoing and talkative beauty, she was investing way too much energy in her work relationships and reacting to everything as if it were personal affront.
Her method of dealing with the issue—gossiping, complaining, whining—was undermining her position even more.
Especially in a tough economy, how you deal with workplace issues may be critical to your advancement, success, and ultimately your day-to-day happiness.
Some of the reasons you may not be happy in your job:
Not allowed to excel
Not allowed to use your best skills and talents
Bullying supervisors
Back-stabbing associates
Overly needy employees
Company confusion, lack of direction, misplaced blame
Gossip and cliques
Unfulfilled promises, lack of advancement
I probably don't need to go into detail, do I? We've all experienced it! But what many people don't think about are the extended results of workplace misery. Job stress can create a long list of physical symptoms that affect our quality of life. Then we take all that stress, anger and resulting physical misery home to share with our spouses, friends, and family—who are probably getting pretty sick of hearing about it. Or we just swallow it and suffer in silence. But suppressed rage and frustration can lead to misplaced anger in the home, resulting in arguments—or compulsive and destructive behavior like drinking or an affair.
Personal career coaching can help you map a strategy for dealing with these simmering frustrations. We will look at all the factors affecting your emotional balance in the workplace, and extend your current map out into your personal life and your body. At first it may look like the opening sequence of a video game, with a landscape of ruined fortresses, burning forests and hiding villagers. But trust me, you will vanquish the demons and collect the gem! I can help you develop a career strategy that includes:

This probably comes as no surprise, but "selfie" was the Word of the Year in 2013 according to the Oxford English Dictionary. A selfie is defined as "A photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically with a smartphone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website".
Lately, as a part of working on branding, I take a glimpse at client Facebook images and what they reveal about that person. I find that people don't really think about how they may come across to others on social media, sometimes at their own expense.
Your employer, your customers, interviewers and even your friends are looking at your pictures and making their own assessments. Have you thought about what they would see and think about you? [Read more…]

Survivor Philippines Episode 1: Bad Leaders, Worse Decisions
Eliza is back with her first recap of Survivor Philippines
Hi everyone. Welcome to another season of Survivor! I am happy to be sharing my thoughts about this season — Survivor Philippines — with you and I am actually writing from Beijing, China! I'm here for the next six months and I'm actually blogging about my adventures if you'd like to follow along: Itsjustafuckingblog.com!
The first person we get the pleasure of meeting is the super humble Jeff Kent, oh wait, did I say humble? I meant completely narcissistic former baseball player Jeff Kent. I guess now Survivor is the thing to do for washed up former professional athletes.
Then we have our other quasi-celebrity contestant, Lisa, who played Blair Warner on The Facts of Life. She is a huge Survivor fan, and truly seems like a genuine, sweet person.
So as we have all known for many months, this season features contestants who were medically evacuated from the game. We have Russell Swan, Jonathan Penner, and Michael Skupin.
Russ Swan says this time he's smacking back.
From Penner, we hear his usual cocky attitude, "39 days from now I'll make a million dollars."
And then we have the one and only Mike Skupin, who fell into the fire on the second season of Survivor. That was one of the most famous moments of survivor and you remember it even though it was back in 2002 that it aired!! I think that was the moment viewers at home were like wow. Survivor is real and it is no joke.
Then we see the tribe introductions. You all don't realize at home quite how long that first day is. By the time we see the 15 non-returning contestants divided nice and neatly into their three tribes, they have probably been on that boat for five hours. Just watching them on that boat is making me nauseated. Some of they may have even been puking off the sides. People certainly were on Vanuatu when we spent hours on a boat.
Probst asks the contestants about people getting evacuated and Roxanne describes Russ Swan. Then, there he is!
Jeff introduces each of the three returning contestants and it was sort of weird but did you notice there was no applause at all at their introduction. On Fans v Favorites, we each got clapped for AND we were their competition. The three guys finally got applause as they got assigned to tribes, but I still found their intro awkward.
Jeff (Probst not Kent) says hidden idols are in play. I am not gonna lie, I sort of wish they weren't. At least not at camp. It makes the game less fun when all someone has to do is go look around for a few minutes and they can find a hidden idol.
Jeff tells everyone to grab whatever gear they can in 60 seconds and I was thinking to myself, how is he going to enforce that. Then Probst says "10 seconds left" and Penner says "before what happens?" Penner took the words right out of my mouth. We are so the same. I love that guy and loved playing Survivor with him.
I should tell you up front that he is one of my favorite Survivors ever so I am certainly going to be rooting for him this season! Team Penner all the way!
Then we have Jeff telling everyone to get off the boat. Notice how they don't show everyone off. Jeff had to keep counting down I assume. Hilarious. Penner is not a rule follower.
We get to see Russ Swan's tribe first. It is confusing enough having three tribes to keep track of, let alone learning the names of the tribes so I'm calling them by their returning player. Hope that's okay with you all.
So Russ SAYS he leads in a way of letting someone else lead. "Let that person crash and burn" and cackles. But then he is shown being a super annoying leader. Crash & burn? I think so. Yikes.
Impressively, Malcolm gets fire started! He says they made fire in the first 45 minutes on their beach. I would say that sounds like some sort of record, but as favorites I think Yau man & Ozzy had our fire going in 15 minutes.
Malcolm seems like he's gonna be a big character. He gets how to manipulate people. He says, "I let Russell build fire."
Now onto Penner's tribe. He loves this game so much. I knew we'd get to see him tear up.
Poor Penner. Jeff Kent is trying to scheme against Penner already. Keny says Penner is a 3rd timer and they have to get rid of him. It just shows how tough it can be to be a returning contestant on a season on which sheep weren't cast to ensure your victory. (::cough cough:: Rob Mariano).
Then we get to the Skupin tribe. Skupin says he hopes he can live up to the legend of what he was. Well he's lucky (was it actually luck though? No it wasn't because the returning contestants already had their tribes picked out for them by the producers so I think it wasn't luck at all, actually).
Well he is certainly lucky to have a go-getter like RC on his tribe. RC tells people she is an executive assistant because she is a banker. But she's clearly a smart girl. She immediately forms an alliance with the blonde girl with the "hot Brazilian accent," Abi. And Abi puts her flirtation plan in motion with her whole, "is my butt too big for this buff?"
Abi and RC say Pete looks dumb and they can use him. He agrees to be in the alliance and then RC brings in Skupin.
Now we are back to Penner's tribe, starring Jeff Kent. Jeff Kent has a ranch. Jeff Kent races bikes. Jeff sells bikes. Jeff says this isn't about who is in debt and who needs the million bucks. He made $30 million but he wants THIS million.
I absolutely love the contrast between him (evil) and the other celebrity cast member Lisa (good). She is a huge fan and has never missed an episode of the show. She wants to play to her strengths and connect with each person. She lost all her money she made being a child star. She is awesome.
Skupin tells her he knows who she is and that she needs to tell them. Skupin wants her to stay. I actually really hope that she does. She looks like she's having a rough time next episode (yeah, as I've said, Survivor is NO joke), but hopefully she sticks around.
Then we have the Zane saga. Zane has issues. He made some very bad decisions which ultimately led to his demise. He says all his jobs make him the perfect Survivor player. Not so much. Zane is makes alliances with everyone on his tribe and then when he approaches the guys he tells the them he already grabbed alliances with all the girls so he can bring the girls in. He thinks he's a genius. Malcolm thinks otherwise.
I can't imagine anything much more devastating than if one of the returning contestants had to get medically removed from the game AGAIN. But it looks like we are well on the way to that happening. RC points out that Skupin gives 110% constantly but misses the little things and that "Superman needs to take a break with the machete." They're about to ban him from using the knife. Pete says we'll see what happens when we have fire. It isn't funny but it is.
Having played the game with Jonathan Penner, I can affirm that Katie is right. Penner is shady and dangerous. He's also incredibly smart and totally paranoid. Of course he is out looking for the idol. I'm not surprised he found the clue first and I hope he finds the idol as well so he can stick around. I love that guy.
Then Russell totally stumbles upon the clue and goes off to look at the idol clue (but stupidly does it out in the open) and Zane sees him doing it. Zane should have immediately used that information to rally the troops against Russell but unfortunately he shared that information too late.
Then Russ Swan screws up even worse at the challenge. He assigns roles, won't let the girls speak and ultimately even though he wasn't the worst at his respective part of the challenge, costs his tribe the challenge.
The second I saw the challenge, I knew Penner would be doing the puzzle. I immediately said to myself, if he gets to that puzzle without being too far in the hole, there's no way they don't win. Penner and I did a lot of puzzles together. That guy is a puzzle master. Skupin's tribe had a lead going into the puzzle, but there was no doubt in my mind when I saw how close it was that Penner would pull out the win! And he did!!
During the challenge on Fans v. Favorites where they had to collect coconuts in the water and then we had to unscramble the letters on the coconuts, he and I had a system. He just started yelling numbers out to me and I knew of course that those numbers were meant to correspond to letters. Everyone else was like what are you two doing?? But I had every letter well before it even got to us.
So Russ Swan's team loses and they get back to camp and Russ starts lecturing the tribe (is that guy annoying or what? I mean, he is coming off as SO unlikable though he is a nice guy in real life, his edit is horrible). Anyhow, then Zane cuts him off and says his legs cramped and he deserves to go. This is the worst thing you can do. Zane tells the cameras in confessional that this whole thing is a ruse, but you know who he forgets to tell? The REST OF HIS TRIBE. If he'd told them, he could have said listen I did this for us so we can blindside Russell and he doesn't have a chance to use the idol, but no, he just wants them to "convince" him to stay.
I actually thought the tribe MIGHT vote off Russell anyhow, but crazy Zane at tribal with his, "the more layers you peel back the more you cry" speech and Russell admitted he went into dictator mode and came on a little strong.
Returning contestants have a huge target on them coming into a game with all new contestants. Russell got lucky someone came out said "vote me out." Russell was a terrible leader, but Zane's bad decisions were worse. If Zane hadn't said that he may have stayed. That was idiotic. You can't ever make it easy for someone to vote you out in Survivor.
I hope you'll all join me again next week for my recap of Survivor. Until then, don't forget to check out my blog (itsjustafuckingblog.com) and follow me on twitter @eorlins (though I'm only on intermittently because of the blocks in China). Signing off for now, with bad leaders & worse decisions, xoxo, Eliza.

In case any of you are looking for a nice road trip...
Just got back from a trip to Etheridge, TN (70 miles South of Nashville.) A good friend (and fellow winemaker) is the "English" auctioneer for the Amish community there. 469 South Brace Road, Ethridge 38456
Everything is absolutely fresh, picked that morning!
Blackberries; 1 flat (12 pints) for $15.00
Habanero peppers 5 Pounds/$2.50 (only able to get 5 pounds)
After talking at length with some Amish I came to learn something about taking pictures.... Amish consider posing for photographs to be an unacceptable act of PRIDE and do not allow pictures of themselves for this reason (NOT that they believe it will steal their souls.) The Amish will usually allow you to photograph their homes, farms, and buggies if you ask respectfully, but even this can be intrusive and is better avoided. Being friends of a "trusted Englishman" we were invited to the home of Mr. Moses Hersberger and had a wonderful visit, but just the same upon pulling it their driveway, they all turned away or bowed their heads until they were sure we were not "English tourists taking pictures". Can you ladies imagine (9) yes NINE children between 6 and 17 years old, and that was just the ones we could count! And so well disciplined and well mannered... I wish I could leave my kids there few a few days. Well gotta go to W_l*M_art and get some canning jars! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Just have to ask this question, what the heck are you going to do with 35 pounds of hot peppers? Don't tell me fermentation is planned for them. Norm |
No, I have plenty of jalepeno wine bottled and smoked habanero fermenting. This is for pepper jelly! |
I want some! I love pepper jelly. I'll have to look for peppers at the farmers market. The markets have been amazing this year after last years drought. I'm getting so many wonderful veggies, particularly heirloom types. Also want to make some Tomato Jam this year. |
the pepper jelly didn't gell but it's still yummie. You bring a quart of tomato jam I'll bring a quart of jalapeno jelly to the fall swap... It'ss be great on teh pancake breakfas!!! Now if we could just find some local raw honey.... |

I looooooooove pepper jelly. Especially RASPBERRY pepper jelly. YUM! |
Jim and I went to the auction yesterday...it starts at 1PM, not 11. We didn't stay. Everything was in such big lots that there was no way we could use it. For example,I couldn't buy 15 canteloupes at one time...I think this is really geared for produce markets and farmers markets, or maybe if you can find something you want you could go in with someone else to use it all up...maybe canning between a couple of people. I'd like to go back on Sat. sometime and see what it is like. |
Bummer on the time, my apologies! IF you do go, make sure to say "HI" to the auctioneer, Mr. Wade Clark, he's a good friend of mine and a great person in his own right. (as is his wife Paula ;-) Also the stuff is SO fresh it will keep an extra week past what you would expect if you got it at Kroger. (We got one of those big bags of cantaloupes and they were still great two weeks later.) as you can see here, we really stock up on stuff when we go: |

We're up and running again this year, 2010! Sold our first strawberries last Friday! Selling lots of tomato and pepper plants right now. And yes, on most things there's a 4-box minimum. We sold nearly $1,000,000 in produce last year... can you imagine how long that would take without a 4-box minimum! But there's also a long row of tables full of items priced for outright sale vs. auction, and there's no minimum there. When Sandsquid first came to the Auction it was at 11, but was changed to 1pm a few years ago. |

Hi! Just found this site again. The 2013 season is up and running. It lasts April through October, Mon, Wed, Fri 1pm, plus a Saturday Farmers Market. It's under new management this year. The new managers are: Wade and Paula Clark 931-244-4326 (yep, that's us!) Come by if you can! Strawberries are in! Wade |
We went to Ethridge Wednesday and did a buggy tour. We didn't have a chance to go to the produce auction but plan to do that soon. We live about an hour away. My question is about the consignment sale. We were told that every couple of months or so there is a consignment sale in the same location as the product auction. Wade, do you know when the next one will be? Thanks. |

Hi Dijoy, We have an annual consignment auction every October. Last year we had 7 Auctioneers going from 9am until almost dark, big event, thousands of people, hundreds of Amish. This year it's Saturday October 12th. If you've never been to one you've never seen anything like it! Everything from chickens and horses to furniture, household, horse-drawn implements, guns, tools, antiques, you name it. Next year we may be doing it more than once a year. Right now, selling lots of strawberries! |
