Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Aquavit Seasonings (Snapse Krydret Svine Mørbrad)
This Recipe Is:
The seasonings traditionally used to make aquavit—a Northern European distilled spirit—vary with every recipe, but they usually include pork-friendly seasonings like caraway, cumin and fennel-so why not combine the two? This easy, pretty dish is great hot off the grill or made ahead and chilled.
Prep: 45 minutes | Cook: 15 minutes | Total Time: 1 hour
2 teaspoons
caraway seeds
2 teaspoons
coriander seeds
2 teaspoons
fennel seeds
1 teaspoon
cumin seeds
bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon
1/2 teaspoon
freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons
chopped fresh dill
pork tenderloins, trimmed, (about 1 pound)
- Combine caraway, coriander, fennel, cumin and bay leaf in a spice grinder or clean coffee grinder; process to a fine powder. Add salt and pepper.
- Place 2 tablespoons of the spice rub in a small bowl. Combine the remaining rub with dill in another small bowl.
- Place 1 tenderloin on a piece of plastic wrap. To butterfly it, hold your knife parallel to the cutting board and slice through the meat to within a half inch of the opposite side. Open like a book. Cover with more plastic wrap and gently pound with a mallet or heavy skillet to 1/2-inch thickness. Repeat with the second tenderloin.
- Spread half of the dill-spice mixture down the center of each flattened tenderloin. Roll the pork, jelly-roll style, to create 2 long cylinders; tie kitchen string around each in several spots to keep them rolled. Rub all over with the reserved (no-dill) spice rub. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 6 hours.
- Preheat grill to medium-high or preheat the broiler.
- Oil the grill rack (if broiling, line a broiler pan with foil and oil the foil). Grill or broil the tenderloins, turning several times, until just cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 145ºF, 14 to 18 minutes.
- Transfer the tenderloins to a clean cutting board, tent with foil and let rest for 5 minutes before carving into 1/2-inch slices.

A true 1x to 4x wil do cqb and intermiate nicely. A rds with a magnifier sont have a good reticle for diatnce use, but be faster to pickup cqb. Surprisings both weight about the same. If you just won the lotto look for 1 - 8x optics. If not don't bother you may have a coronary from the sticker shock.
How much do you want to spend? $150 to $$$$$ I have a Bushnell Trophy XLT 1-4X24 with 4A reticle and a 1moa red dot. A little over $200 with mount.

What part of 'shall not be infringed' confuses people?
Check out Primary Arms. Their Micro dot plus mount is around $100, and it's a great RDS that can take a beating. It just doesn't had the five year battery life of the Aimpoint. Grab the 6x magnifier on a swivel mount and you are set for CQB and intermediate distances (magnifier is also primary arms). They stand behind their products, good company.

Thanks FMJ. I look forward to it.
I have been pondering this same thought. I just recently picked up a M6 SPR and I happen to love this rifle. I have been pondering the optics route but when I was in the Army, I hated the aimpoint sight and prefered to shoot with my iron sights instead and shot well with them. I always qualified expert and often 40/40, I guess I have fallen victim to group think.

The treats may be frozen, but that doesn't mean they're not flexible. That's because the colorful self-serve dispensers that line Yogurt Crazy?s bright purple walls are equipped to send a rotating lineup of 12 different frozen-yogurt flavors into cups, including nonfat, low-fat, and dairy-free varieties. Guests mix and match their own creations, choosing from flavors as diverse as pomegranate-raspberry tart and Heath toffee. Each swirl of yogurt can then be outfitted with kiwi, Reese's Pieces, and other selections from the topping bar?s 36 mix-ins, which means that patrons can customize their frozen desserts without the gooey mess of branding them with a hot iron.
Staffers custom-blend clients' choices of more than 80 flavors into frozen treats at The Lite Choice, a purveyor of kosher gluten- and corn-syrup-free desserts and drinks. Organic flavors and add-ins such as almond butter, caramel, mango, and Colombian coffee accessorize the outfits of all-natural soft-serve and organic frozen yogurt ($3.75–$7.75) more deliciously than bangles made of horseradish, and staff members can concoct custom shakes from soft-serve or frozen yogurt with fresh fruit and toppings ($4.50–$5.75). Choco-lite dalmatians are served with dark chocolate chips and dollops of organic frozen yogurt or soft serve, or guests can celebrate friends' nephews' teachers' birthdays by indulging in sundaes with hot fudge and nuts ($5).
Good News Cafe's owner and chef Carole Peck strongly believes in supporting her community and proves it with her seasonal, frequently organic dishes and her restaurant's decor. Her handcrafted farm-to-table dishes?which include cod in a horseradish crust, as well as grass-fed short ribs served with yucca cake?are the result of partnerships with local farmers and businesses. She also backs local artists, letting them showcase their artwork throughout the restaurant.
Antique Coca-Cola signs, baskets, and cooking tools line the walls of Dugan's Sandwich Shop, which serves up a menu of hot and cold sandwiches including liverwurst, smoked-turkey reubens, and buffalo chicken breast with blue cheese. For those who prefer their meals bread free, try the grilled-chicken caesar salad or chicken fingers and fries.
D'Lites sates squealing sweet teeth with myriad ice-cream treats that are low carb, low fat, low sugar, and cholesterol free. At 50 calories per 4-ounce serving, the only things missing from D'Lites ice cream are artificial sweeteners and sadness. Each day at the shop, six specialty flavors guest star with daily headliners chocolate and vanilla, including concoctions such as chocolate marshmallow mint, strawberry, honey roasted pecan, and samoa. In all, D'Lites has more than 100 flavors in its recipe Rolodex. The shop slings soft serve into cups ($3.67+), cones ($3.67), and quarts ($7.99), as well as into specialty creations such as shakes ($5.49 for a large). If you want to shower a newlywed in sprinkles, order them and any other extra toppings ($0.75 each), or if you're on the run, grab a to-go pint ($6.29) or a six-pack of ice-cream sandwiches ($7.99), ideal for wearing as a threatening, edible bandoleer.

John Buchiano 5pts Well and now you can get a 2009 or 2010 BMW 535i for 20-21k all day long!What a steal of a price for such a capable sports sedan.
Nadirshah Kasam 5pts hi i am confused between 2 cars bmw 5s or audi a6.i want car which should be1) company should be liable in terms of Service backup. Faults in the car if any.2) car should be rough and tough to use. it should work at least 4yrs without any extra maintenance.Please guide
MG3757 5pts The title of this comparison is "Luxury Sport Sedan," which I take to mean the best overall combination of luxury, sport and usability. I say usability because these aren't weekend warriors; these are cars which are meant to be driven every day and in all conditions, by the average customer. I think I speak for the average customer when I say that while good handling is important to me, I'd rather save that 'magical blend of road isolation and feedback' for attacking deserted back roads on a Sunday morning in my sports car. For a daily drive I want something with good power which handles well, is safe in all conditions, looks great and makes me feel special when I climb into the drivers seat.Maybe 1% of customers want to power oversteer onto the onramp on the way to work and drift into the left lane with a touch of opposite lock. For all the sane people out there not living in a car magazine dream land, the A6 3.0T is the true winner here: 90% of the BMW's sport with double the luxury and usability.
crombie92 5pts And what is more fitting to the phrase "Luxury SPORT Sedan" than the four door Lexus IS-F. Base Price: $56,000
crombie92 5pts Shouldm't it be the Cadillac STS instead of the CTS? They didn't use it thought because they knew the STS sucks and it's slow and handles like ass for it's size, so they cheated and put the nimbler CTS in it's replacement to make Cadillac walk tall. CHEAT. BIAS. WEAK COMPARISON.
GemLeKiH 5pts lions208487 I will agree with you about the Genesis because even the fully loaded Genesis V8 undercuts these other cars by several thousand dollars at a price of just over 42K. already the 2010 Genesis has had suspension retuning performance wise, the V8 has been uprated to 385hp(right there with the 5.0 V8 XF) and more response at lower RPMs. Not to mention Adaptive Cruise Control(a must in this field) and a new touch-screen navigation system. So the Genesis already has everything these others have except for an established name but honestly f#ck a name if the car is good and owned by me, if someone ever tried to talk down about it I would laugh my ass off because I know it would be better than theirs.
lions208487 5pts The only reason why there is no Genesis is because it is not expensive enough, that's it. The CTS doesn't belong here, it belongs in a G37, A4, 3 Series, C-Class, comparison test. Cadilac had the STS which would have fit, but since it's discontinued, M/T uses their only left over luxary sedan worthy. Infiniti will be on top next year, and Acura build a space ship that can't take off.
lions208487 5pts Okay I don't know where some of you get your info, cause it's simply lacking any truth. First: BMW, Audi, Jag, and Mercedes all have their latest models in this comparison test. That being said M/T can only test the latest technology available. Second: The Acura belongs in it's rightful place, because it's a nice car but it just can't hang with Audi or BMW. 3rd: The M would and will be the new leader once the new model hits the market, as it did for two years running beating out everything in it's class when it first came to market. GM is letting a CTS slip away into obscurity without the proper updates it deserves, and should also be compared to the 3 series not in this catagory. Caddie should have had an STS 5 series fighter to be true to this comparison test. Let's be real folks. The lexus is solid, but doesn't allow for real driver feedback like a BMW, and doesn't kick you in the but like the Infiniti does and will again with it's upcomming design. M56 400 plus horse power for under 60K.
dacronic1 5pts i dont get it. other mags and including this one have had the same cars and end up in defferent orders. the Infiniti ended up in last place yet in other comparison tests its come out in first. and i have read this in Car and Driver, Road and Track, and this Magazine. what gives? does it go by what u guys are in the mood for driving that day? and why not include the Hyundai Genesis in this like other have said? i dont know what to think now. they all seem to have had their time in the spotlight.
UberCar2K 5pts No doubt that German cars would top these tests. I've lived in Germany for years and they'll tell you that they'll pick an Audi over BMW. I think it will take a little while for Motor Trend to open their eyes. When you have your eyes already set/fixed on one brand from the start(BMW in this case), you tend to be biased. They forget about the CONS but they exaggerate the PROS. This is why readers like us get sick of reading subjective statements like "near magical blend of road isolation and feedback" in reviews.
ftwentytwo 5pts This article is for the well to do. Snobs wouldn't be caught driving a Hyundai Genesis or a Lincoln MKS. It would be an embarassment to them. Just like it would be embarrasing to them to drive a Corvette when their snobbish friends drive Porches and Ferrari's. Motortrend was really searching the thesaurus and the book of metaphors to describe the driving feel of the BMW again.
GemLeKiH 5pts Why do people insist on the Genesis V8 being in this comparo? Not only is the V6 available with the same options as the V8 but the V6(with only 290 hp and no DI) more than holds its own against these porksters. It post a better 0-60 time than 5 of the 8 cars compared at 5.9 sec. It essentially ties the 303hp M35. Also this comparo just included base engines (except for the 335i) so a much too heavy, FWD MKS with only a 275 hp 3.7 V6 good for a 0-60 time of 7.5 sec wouldn't have fared well against the other cars. What strikes me as odd is the fact that the Lexus GS460 reviewed not too long ago by Motortrend post the same 0-60 time of 5.6 sec and why is the CTS so slow to 60??? Edmunds got 6.3 sec and a CTS with the manual posted 5.9.
qwikbarton 5pts So you test a topped out CTS at 51K against a bottomed out BMW at 58K and, surprise, BMW wins. Brilliant! Real "with similar options price difference more like $10K. At $58K for the BMW, probably at least low $60s with good options, the CTS-V is a more price-realistic comparison. Hmmm....who would win then...no comparison! Kills me how these mags constantly compare supposed "class competitors" with up to 40% price difference (e.g. the recent $100K plus Merc against the $61K CTS-V), when real people look at value for money. What beats the CTS-V within even 30% of it's price? (Nothing!)
steadite 5pts Why do reviewers fixate on steering wheel shift paddles so much?? Do they not realize that nobody even uses that feature after about the first week? It's an automatic transmission, not a manual!
campi3ell 5pts It's interesting how the other reviews mentioned interior styling and seems to have taken that into consideration for qualifying places, yet the BMW just talks about engine and drive.
kent426 5pts Pathetic fuel economy from the bunch of them. This reminds me of gas mileage from a late 60's muscle car. My 2005 Mercedes C55 get 16 mpg in the city, I can't believe a V6 gets worst economy. The acura, 13mpg????????
Proverbs 5pts MT, is the 1/4 mile speed (84.5) accurate (not a typo) for the Mercedes? A buddy of mine has had his new E350 for a few months, and I've driven it several times. It feels substantially faster than your posted 1/4 figure. The 0-60 feels about right in line with your number, but I'd say the 1/4 mile in his car feels mid-90s.
syj1 5pts after looking at the curb weights again I realized the E350, XF, RL and A6 are over 2 tons- just like the Cadillac. The A6 is actually the heaviest car here. Not sure why so many have jumped on the "CTS needs to lose weight" bandwagon when half the field is over 4000lbs. Why don't the other cars need to lose weight as well? I'm sure the BMW would've been 100lbs more if it had an auto tranny.
syj1 5pts "And btw, MT...ignore the fanboys and their "omg bias!" crap. I'm a big fan of the CTS but I enjoyed the article. Those BMW's are hard to beat."when one car leads in one performance category (barely), has the 2nd highest price in test, the lowest amount of equipment and the most dated interior its hard to understand how that car won. Sure the 535 handles well but most of these cars are respectable in that department but others offer more style and better value.
syj1 5pts Those complaining about the weight of the CTS need to look at the weight of some of the other cars. The RL is over 4000bls and the 535 is over 3800lbs. The XF isn't a lightweight either. The CTS is only slightly heavier than the other cars here and it was FASTER than the V8 powered XF or the RL which has the benefit of AWD traction. Considering it was only 1 secs slower than the manual equipped 535 I have a hard time understanding why everyone is acting like its way behind the pack.As for the MKS, its performance figures are respectable across the board and the car would've easily beat the RL and M35 at the minimum. While the car isnt a hardcore sports sedan the same could be said about the Acura, Lexus and Mercedes. The Lincoln should've been here.
ThisGuy 5pts Lots of good points being made here. It's nice to see so much competition in this luxury class (and the smaller class below this for that matter).Once again, all this talk really makes me miss the G8 GXP already. (Single teardrop...)
nwilson44 5pts No engine mods were done. Stock crank, heads, cams, all of that and it had a 8.5:1 Compression ratio. now the HPE Camaro made LESS power with ported heads and different cam and blower swap with a 10.0:1 compression ratio and .8L more of displacement. http://www.musclemustangfastfords.com/features/mmfp_0902_2008_shelby_super_snake/run_time.htmlthe link above is to prove what the 2010 GT500 would likely do. numbers wise. now its worht meantioning that the GT500 Tested above was an 08. it has less power and a worse weight distrabution. so the 2010 would of done better.
nwilson44 5pts would meet or exeed that of the "Tau" V8's. now let me go further to explain the rest of my earlier statement because it was a bold one. people like to say Fords V8's are weak. and the way ford goes about using them are ya pretty week. but these engines are very poteint. i am sure a good part of the population read car and drivers 0-200-0 comparison. The Lingenfelter Z06 Matched that of the Twin Turbo Ford GT. now i want to point out some important points. the Z06 uses a 7.0L V8!! The ford GT utilizes the STOCK (with the exeption of TWin turbos) all aluminum 5.4L. now the times are identical but the Ford motor is down 1.6L and uses less boost and weighs more!!! and makes about 50 HP less but uses less boost. also motortends own recent comparison with the GT500 Super Snake witch honestly the camaro would of got absolutly destroyed with street radials on the GT500 but anyway the 5.4L IRon block v8 (wich btw is in my 2008 F150) is all stock basicly with a blower swap. (look it up on shelby's website)
nwilson44 5pts @Diff-I'm not here to argue but the MKS would of surely done well in this comparo. I am not going to be cocky and say it would of grabbed 1st but for the $$$ you get a LOT of car. And i am willing to bet if you looked at it and drove it you would be halfway impressed even going into it biased. @blk6speedThe korean V8 puts out 375 HP and at the moment the most powerful ecoboost motor is 365 HP. i would like to inform you that the turbochargers are only running 10 to 12 PSI of boost. i am not sure if you keep up with the car shows but there was a version of the ecoboost that ran on ethonol and made 415 HP. car and driver had an article about it.And fords V8's are better than everyones excluding Mercedes. First of all the 4.6L Tau v8 utilizes DOHC and 4V/ cylinder. the 4.6L used in the mustang is SOHC 3V/ cylinder. and before i continue i would also state that there is a Hot rod camshaft upgrade that will push HP up to 360. i am sure that if ford imployed DOHC 4V/ cylider tecnology then it
blk6speed 5pts man.. the numbers of the Genesis V8 is amazing.the Tau V8 beats ford's ecoboost engine in almost every aspect. More powerful, more fuel efficient, V8 smoothness and sound. and probably cheaper to maintain.Ford should just made better V8 and cut the ecoboost crap.
dalexand1685 5pts So let's get this straight, MT invited the CTS, a car that competes with the class below this, when maxed out barely touches the rest of the fields base prices. The STS is the more appropriate choice, and yes it is outdated, so Cadillac just should not have made an appearance in this comparo.Meanwhile, Lincoln just released the MKS Ecoboost, a car that does compete on size and price with this class. I have yet to see a comparison with the Genesis, are people really scared to see how well it would do?And how does the M lose the the isolation champ Lexus, and the boring Acura and so so Jag?
mk40 5pts $58k for the BMW 3.0T 300hp w.o. Nav... make the $63k well-equiped 556hp CTS-V look awfully tempting... and this does include the gas tax as well as Nav., MRC adjustable suspension, & upgraded more sporty seats. These last 2 should address 2 of their criticisms... lack of lateral support & composure over bumpy turns. Plus you can choose 6 speed manual or auto for the same price. Add Nav. to the BMW and the difference will be like $3k.. almost nothing.
mk40 5pts $58k for the BMW w no Nav... makes the $67K (when well equiped) CTS-V w MRC suspen. & 14 way Ricaros look awfully temping. $63k w the standard seats & Nav. included... less than 10% more than the BMW 3.0T. Just thought I'd point that out.
spect3r 5pts BMW is a good car, but everyone and their mother has one...be different for once people. Audi and MB look the best. Lexus and Jags are for 80 year olds. The CTS would be a great car to have if GM actually accepted a credit score below 800. Overall, I'm not surprised the Germans came out on top but its just my opinion.
Lovemesomecars 5pts I can relate uncanny, I've driven many BMW and don't get the whole "this is GOD" scenerio. In my experience, most all are dealership prone and VERY expensive to repair. But then again, that's German cars for you period.
stvdude 5pts i was looking forward to seeing a ford taurus SHO in a comparo like this one...given the value of the SHO, it would've definitely had a chance against these luxury cars even in the performance categoryor an mks as about 20 or more percent of the comments mentioned ...the MKS!!!!!
cardude324 5pts congrats to BMW and Audi i think they r the best cars out therewheres the genesis in this group??
KeatMP 5pts Well written article. And btw, MT...ignore the fanboys and their "omg bias!" crap. I'm a big fan of the CTS but I enjoyed the article. Those BMW's are hard to beat.
v8vader 5pts bad timing for the comparo, as mentioned, and a fairly surprising outcome from an enthusiast's point of view. the bimmer and the audi finishing in some combination of 1st and 2nd was a given, but the lexus and the benz? obviously, the enthusiast point of view is not the only one taken into account for this- not that it necessarily should be; however, in that case, the genesis should definitely have been included.
ThisGuy 5pts @RightWD... You are dead on about the CTS. GM had something wonderful and they still have something great. Give us a better (mid level) engine choice and slim that fat lady down and then you will really have something impressive.Overall this was a good compro. I, too, probably would have put the Audi up top but they got it pretty close. I personally would not buy one of these German makes, but I am very glad for the competition. Remember... if not for BMW and the M series we may never have gotten the CTS-V.
unavailable 5pts Another thing, the people that's complaining about the 5 Series winning needs to realize that the 5 Series is the best driver's car out of everything in its class. It out-sells everything else too, so the arguement that nobody buys these cars for performance is debunked. I would never buy a 5 Series because its styling is vomit inducing, but I do respect the fact that it is hands down the best mid-size/large performance sedan on the market. Maybe that will change with the updated M and GS and maybe it won't.
unavailable 5pts For all of those people saying that the Hyundai Genesis and Lincoln MKS doesn't stack up to the cars in this comparison test, you couldn't be more wrong. The V6 Genesis alone would have mopped the floor with at least half the cars in this test. The V8 Genesis or Ecoboost MKS would have been tops in just about every performance category. And are you kidding MT? The E350? GS350? XF? RL? Since when were any of these cars considered "sport sedans"? You did your readers a disservice by not including more cars(such as the Genesis and MKS).Also, the CTS sorely needs an engine choice slotted between the 3.6L DI and LSA. There is just too much of a disparity(252 hp) between the mid-level CTS and CTS-V. We already know the LS3 can fit and ~430hp would be a good mid-level engine. GM, wake up.
tmac20 5pts Come on Audi! You always finish second to BMW in everything... well almost... there have been a few lately...But this just shows that Audi is the alternative to the other billion BMWs out there...
syj1 5pts prazvt:The MKS ecoboost cant be any less sporty than the GS or E class. I'm pretty sure it could hold its own in this group and it should've been included. Its newer and more worthy than the Acura, Infiniti or Lexus sedans in this test. Why would they include 4-5 year old Japanese cars and leave out the new MKS? Its illogical. Almost as illogical as placing the dated, overpriced 535 in first place.
kcconnolly 5pts I can't really understand why the Audi didn't win... the piece about it is much more convincing than the one about the BMW, not to mention there seemed to be conflicting ideas as to what was desired to win this competition, a nice luxury car or a "driver's" car. Clearly the BMW falls more into the latter by the way you rated it and talked about its shortcomings, and clearly the other end of the spectrum was the E class by the way you talked about it. Audi seemed the best mix of both by what was said about it.Either way, it was a fun comparison of cars I won't be able to afford for some time yet, but bottom line to me is, if the BMW won, convince me. The piece you wrote convinced me much more that the Audi should have won.
syj1 5pts winzer: The CTS isn't better (performance wise) than the A6 or 535i. That said, its a better performer than the overpriced E350 or the too slow XF 4.2 and its considerably cheaper and better looking than the 535. First place might have been a stretch, but 5th place is a joke. The fact that Germans finished 1,2,3 tells you all you need to know about this test. No mention of the 535's dated interior or manual transmission. No one buys a 5 series without an auto so the test car was $1300 cheaper than it would've been in the real world. Also, leaving out the MKS ecoboost is just crazy. That car would've had the best acceleration of the group and more space than anything else here. The CTS got docked for lack of rear seat room but the full size MKS was excluded when it would've led in that category. Nonsense.

Seymour Community Schools trustees recently gave initial approval to next year's budgets that total $38.33 million. That an increase from current budgets of $36.67 million according to the "Seymour Tribune."
The paper reports 94 percent of the budget is made up of the general fund, which is financed by state sales tax rather than local property taxes. Funding is based on student enrollment.
The general fund is projected to increase from $26.5 million to $27.8 million. That money is used for things like teacher and staff salaries and benefits, utilities, supplies and contracted services.
Along with reviewing the budgets, trustees also looked over the school district's three-year capital projects plan and a 12-year bus replacement plan.

I want to put english ivy around the base of one of my trees; is this a good time to do this or should I wait until the spring?
Thanks for your time and have a nice day. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I would not recommend it at all. It is a very aggressive vine and if it climbs up the tree, it is dangerous for the tree plus it makes berries and birds spread it. Would you like some suggestions for a different ground cover? |
I agree with esh! There are a lot of tree companies out there making some good money removing English Ivy from tree canopies! You don't want to add to their income that way, do you? ;-) I'll suggest, right off the bat, that you consider Algerian Ivy (Hedera canariensis) as an option. A close relative to the English Ivy, but it does not have the tendency to climb. Rather, it becomes a fast growing ground cover, and is a favorite option under the dense shade of Live Oaks in the South. This would be an ideal time for the planting of just about anything, in your location. Woody plants, in particular, appreciate being established in the fall/winter in warm climates. |
English ivy is a traditional, time-honored plant that has been used in American gardens for generations. I have always loved English ivy and always will love it. Go ahead and use ivy at the base of your tree, and have no reservations about it. If you prefer not to allow the ivy to grow up into the canopy of the tree, simply do what reasonable gardeners do to control its upward growth. At eye level, or maybe a little higher, prune the runners of the ivy and, thus, control it. Some ivy growers allow their ivy to grow to a certain height and, then, gently pull the long runners off the tree trunk and let them hang downward as attractive, evergreen, streamers. This being said, mature English ivy cloaking a large tree is truly attractive. In the fall, it blooms with multitudes of curious, other worldly, light green blossoms which develop into beautiful dark blue fruits, which become a welcome food source of the robins in late winter as those berries ferment. A tree adorned with mature ivy will entertain you with a host of "rockin' robins"--drunk on ivy berries. Ivy is a "thing of beauty and a joy forever." Remember, too, that it will take several years for newly planted ivy to grow very much. An old horticultural ivy adage is "The first year it sleeps; the next year it creeps; and the next year it leaps." Be patient as you wait for this fine vine to leap. |
Will take all suggestions into consideration. I have the ivy in a big pot and need to put it somewhere so I may just take my chances putting it around the tree and keep it trimmed as jay suggested. Thanks so much for taking the time to help me. |
heidiho, you may want to check with your Department of Natural Resources or similar organization so that you can get some first hand information about this plant's invasive status. I believe that it is considered a 'threat' species in your state. That, alone, should give anyone pause about planting it in the landscape. Jay's descriptions are indeed romantic, but not based on the reality of how English Ivy behaves in a semi-tropical environment. And the very last thing that should happen is for this plant to achieve sexual maturity so that drunken birds can spread the seeds far and wide. If you have the ivy in a pot right now, why not keep it there? In the spring, you could take it out of the container and give it a good root pruning so that you can add some fresh potting medium to the same pot. English Ivy can thrive for many years in the same container with very little effort....much longer than most plants. Annual root pruning is the secret to keeping it happy and healthy in the same container. I'd be glad to walk you through that process, if you'd like to email me. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Here's some great information!
My current home came with an island planting of Canadian Hemlocks and holly. Planted at the base was English ivy. While I can appreciate the appeal of ivy in certain environments, there are issues with it near specimen trees. Given a couple of years, it takes off. The ivy was beginning to smother the hemlocks, so I radically cut them back. There is still some ivy in the island but radically reduced and definitely not growing into the tree canopy. I pruned the lowest branches of the hemlocks and introduced several different 'ground covers' including, ajuga, Irish and Scottish moss and several varieties of ferns.--I'm sure, they, like most ground covers can be invasive, but at least they they stay on the ground. |
I wonder if large areas of ivy-covered ground promote mosquitoes? No scientific evidence of this, but plenty of anecdotal. Maybe they thrive in the dark moist undercanopy of the ivy? |

I have postponed sending this letter until now so as to be uninfluenced by post-trip emotions, as it were. But even 9 months on, I still cannot help but praise this expedition. It was a wonderful mixture of guides & people. The grade was enough to focus you on the task in hand, and to get a real feeling & respect for the land. The kindness & generosity displayed by ALL of the WE representatives on the trip all complimented the experience, turning it away from a regular organised expedition and into something more - something that has fed and quickened soul - and for adventure. Thank you.

I'm lucky enough to have little blue stem and buffalo grass make up a lot of areas in my lawn. However it a lot of other areas, there is enough Bermuda mixed in for it to be a real pain.
I'm continually taking over lawn areas for raised beds and/or beds at ground level. So, I'm constantly thinking about edging to use and looking for the ideal scenario. This thinking is complicated by the fact that in many areas, the beds tend to expand each year so I'm somewhat reluctant to put in something permanent. So, what are everyone's thoughts? Inexpensive, durable and easy to install would be nice. Ability to get below ground level to stop the underground running is pretty imperative. Thanks Teri |

I use the roll galvanized flashing meant for roofing. You can get the 12-14" and put half in the ground and half above. I have used it at the bottom of some chainlink fence with great success. |
Sounds good. I guess you have to dig to put it in? It's not sturdy enough to pound it in like that green steel edging is it? |
- Posted by momfryhover (My Page) on Mon, Jul 18, 11 at 14:04
Yes, you need to use a sharp square edging shovel. A little work but worth the results, I think. |
I think I might need a sledgehammer to pound it into my clay soil, unless it's pretty soggy to begin with. Not to mention contending with the existing roots. Being a western transplant, I have never seen roots like these grasses have. Incredible. Pat |

I've had tomatoes in the garden a few years now and always end up getting diseased foliage and bug damage. Does it make sense to periodically spray for disease and pests before they start in? After I notice issues I spray with Ortho Garden Disease or Bug be Gone. Last year lost most of my cuks and squash to cucumber beetles who infected my plants, tomatoes looked lousy from blight (at least I think it was blight). I watch the tomatoes and spray after I see insect damage, but in my yard there seems to always be some insect attacking the gardens. Is there a recommended routine for preventative spraying? First year with Heirlooms and want to give them a fighting chance.
TIA, Dave |

Dave, I can see spraying for tomato foliage diseases on a preventative basis, but not so much for bugs and insects unless you know they're waiting to zoom in abnd do every year. Most folks I know spray with the Ortho product b'c it's excellent at preventing tomato fungal foliage diseases, which are usually worse than the bacterial ones, for which there aren't very good products anyway. You say you think you had blight, but blight is just a general term and doesn't relate to any one specific disease. When talking about "blight" are you talking about the foliage infections that are so common for everyone or something more serious as in a systemic disease ? Try Pyrethrin to try and control the cuke beetles but the best prevention is to use floating row covers and then take them off when blossoms appear so that pollination can occur. Even if the cuke beetles transmit disease at that time you'll still have time to get fruits before plant death starts b/c it takes a good month from time of transmission until symptoms appear. Carolyn |
If I spray Ortho Bug-B-Gone on my tomatoes to kill japanese beetles, will it be OK. I couldn't read the information on the bottle. |
Dave, I would not use an insecticide unless I SAW insects and I.D.'ed them. The use of broad spectrum insecticides will just kill off all your beneficial insects and indiscriminate use of insecticides leads to resistance. Adopt IPM (Integrated Pest Management) which stresses, among other things, careful monitoring so that insects (preferably early stages) can be controlled before they become a major problem. There are various formulations of Ortho's Bug -b-gon--some are only to be used on ornamentals. Go to Ortho.com and check out the one you have in mind. Farkee |

"I just made this for dinner tonight, and it was SO GOOD!!! The only change I made was to substitute 1 onion (cut into eighths) and a few smashed cloves of garlic for the shallots, since I didn't have those on hand. The chicken was perfect, the potatoes were just the right texture, and the sauce was out of this world. Thanks so much for sharing!"
"This recipe was SO good! I admit the Hungarian paprika we currently have makes me nervous (it says it's "sweet", but it's kinda hot to my wimpy senses!) so I used 1 tb Hungarian and 1 tb California sweet paprika. I also followed the suggestion of a couple reviewers and deglazed with ~ 1/2 c merlot after caramelizing the onions. *I* thought it was ..."
"I'm often tempted to tinker with recipes, but I made this one *exactly* as printed, and it was AMAZING! I especially liked that the mushrooms were left big enough that I could eat around them (I'm picky) and leave them to my fungus-loving husband. This one is going in the all-time keeper file, for sure. Thanks for sharing!"
"This is only getting 2 stars because the rub is *amazing*, otherwise it would just be 1. Unfortunately, contrary to the description, size DOES matter. Maybe not for smaller roasts, but definitely for larger ones. I should have gone with my gut and used the meat thermometer, but the overwhelming positive reviews blinded me to sense. I used this rec..."
"Very tasty and easy! I cut the hoisin (as mentioned by others) to 2 tb and upped the soy by about 1 tb. I also only used 1/4 tsp red pepper (I'm a spice weenie) and my husband adjusted his serving's heat using chili paste. We enjoyed it immensely, and will definitely make it again! It's a great recipe that can be adjusted in all sorts of ways acco..."
"Fast, easy, and delicious! We didn't have any green onions on hand, so I used about a tablespoon of dried chives instead. This is going in my "keeper" file!"
"I'm not a mushroom fan, but I made these for my husband and he repeatedly told me that they're "awesome". I followed the recipe exactly, and the ease of preparation my husband's very vocal enjoyment = definite keeper! Thanks for sharing!"
"I found this recipe while looking for new salad dressing ideas, and it makes a GREAT salad dressing. But I saw that the note mentioned tofu, and a lightbulb went off. I added about 1/4 - 1/2 cup vegetable broth and turned this into a marinade for baked tofu. AMAZING!!! This will be my go-to from now on! I did substitute 1/2 tsp jarred fresh ginger..."
"Fantastic! I have tried Alton's method for baking brown rice, as well as Cook's Illustrated (they're similar). I don't know what difference the eggs and cooking 30 minutes uncovered does from a science perspective, but the end result is clear: this method makes better brown rice! I say this as someone who *loves* brown rice, not someone hoping to..."

Hi! My name is Vicky, and I recently graduated from Occidental College with a B.A. in English Comparative Literary Studies and a Religious studies minor. I have been a writing tutor for the school for 3 years now, and I absolutely love my job! My favorite thing about being a writing tutor is the fact that I can interact with people and learn about whatever subject they are writing about, including international relations, science, music, literary studies, etc. As part of my tutoring job with Oxy, the Center for Academic Excellence also provided us with a class where we learned about and discussed various teaching pedagogies. I have also previously taught algebra at an after school, and enjoy teaching in general.
In terms of music, I have been playing piano for about 7 years now, and led worship for my fellowship at school. My music theory background is fairly strong, and it is always my pleasure to explain concepts in understandable ways to people who truly desire to learn.
As for the sciences, I took up to Organic Chem II and worked for a year in a lab experimenting with phospholipid bilayers and interdigitated states. I was blessed enough to work with the associate dean of the college and also earned a Howard Hughes Medical Institute grant.
Overall, I have always believed in an interdisciplinary approach to learning any subject, and am excited at the prospect of continuing to tutor :)
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
I have led Bible study in my fellowship in college for the past year, and have been through Mark, Genesis and Jonah study in InterVarsity. I have also served on ministry team with InterVarsity, and have been through training on how to teach and lead a God investigation group (GIG) for seekers who want to know more about the Bible. It helps that I am also an English major; I have taken classes on the Bible, including Bible as Literature and New Testament Apocrypha.
I have taken and passed the CBEST in one session.

ADN vs. BSN
0May 15, '08 by futurenurse7Is there much of a job difference or pay rate when having an associates degree other than a bachelors degree in nursing? Or would it be better after having an associates to get your bachelors?
1May 16, '08 by AntFlip7395Quote from futurenurse7There is no job description difference as an entry-level RN regardless of which degree you obtain. Pay difference depends on the facility, none of the facilities I am familiar with offer any more pay for a BSN alone. It may help you into a charge position or move up a clinical ladder for more money. If you have the time and money to finish a bachelor's degree now, my advice would be to do so, particularly if you are using it as a stepping stone towards being a mid-level practitioner. If not, by all means, get your associate degree and let you future employer help you pay for your BSN completion. Many schools offer most if not all classes online and you can take them at your own pace.Is there much of a job difference or pay rate when having an associates degree other than a bachelors degree in nursing? Or would it be better after having an associates to get your bachelors?sassy7cassy likes this.
0Aug 6, '08 by LeebebebeI have heard that the pay rate is about the same as both programs yield an RN. However, I had an interview this week and was told that this particular hospital is now only hiring BSN "new grads". I had applied to an ADN program and was waitlisted - it ended up in my best interests to go for the BSN program in my area that could get me right in. Best wishes to you!
1Aug 17, '08 by TweetyWhere I work, all things being equal BSNs are hired at 4% more.
However, as stated above, this is entry level and bedside nursing. The advantages of having a BSN come much later down the line as one wants to move away from the bedside.
Both BSNs and ADNs graduate from similar nursing studies, because they both are prepared to take the same exam, and both enter the bedside on relatively equal footing. So it's natural one is going to make the same amount or smilar amounts of money.
When deciding is you want a BSN or an ADN one needs to look beyond the entry level salary for bedside nurses but answer questions like "where do I see myself in 20 years", "what are my longterm goals, what would I like to do".princesasabia likes this. -
1Aug 22, '08 by lilmama007No Difference in pay here in NC where I work. Actually I noticed that a lot of ADN's have much more bedside experience coming out of school than BSN's.sparky28546 likes this.
0Aug 24, '08 by eXtraOrdinaireI believe it is more a matter of the requirements since Pay is equal. I had wanted to get into a BSN program but I found that they are often more competitive than the ADN and diploma programs. Right now the best thing is to get into a program quickly. You can always advance your degree down the line and once you have the RN license it will be easier to attend a bridge program. Many RN-BSN and LPN-BSN programs out their. The purpose is to get into a program. If you can get into a BSN right away then it makes more sense to do a BSN. Less time spent in school and less student loans to payback.
Get in where you fit in.

Indy eyes €100m debt write-off - paper
Comment on this storyDublin - Indebted Irish publisher Independent News & Media plans to ask its lenders to write off up to €100 million ($127 million) of debt as part of a wider overhaul, Britain's Sunday Times reported.
The company on Friday said it will need urgent and substantial restructuring in response to high levels of debt and tough trading. A spokesman on Sunday declined to comment on the report that the company was seeking to write off debt.
The publisher hopes to secure agreement on the debt write-off with a consortium of eight banks by early next year, the newspaper reported without citing sources.
The restructuring will also include a rights issue, a radical cost-cutting programme and the sale of the company's South African unit, the report said. - Reuters
