Tillman talks for the first time about her journey to remake her life after Pat Tillman''s death. In it, she recalls meeting and falling in love with Pat when they were kids, his harrowing decision to join the army after 9/11, and the devastating day when she learned he''d been killed. |
From the Publisher:
In 2003, Pat Tillman, serving in the US Army, hastily wrote a "just in case" letter to his wife, Marie. When he returned on leave before his departure to Afghanistan, he placed the letter on top of their bedroom dresser. For months it sat there, sealed and ever-present, like a black hole through which Marie knew her stable life would be pulled if she ever had reason to open it. Then, in April 2004, Marie's worst nightmare came true. In the days following his death, it was Pat's letter that kept her going and, more than that, it was his words that would help her learn to navigate a world she could no longer share with her husband. In THE LETTER, Marie's talks for the first time about her journey to remake her life after Pat's death. In it, she recalls meeting and falling in love with Pat when they were kids, his harrowing decision to join the army after 9/11, and the devastating day when she learned he'd been killed. She describes how she withdrew from the public spotlight to grieve, learning along the way the value of solitude, self-awareness and integrity in the healing process. And, finally, Marie recounts her work to rebuild her life, including founding The Pat Tillman Foundation, an organization established to carry forth Pat's legacy of leadership, and her decision to step back into the public eye in order to inspire people to live with meaning and purpose. Filled with the lessons Marie learned and the wisdom she gained since Pat's death, THE LETTER is both a heartrending love story and an inspiring tale for anyone, young or old, whose life has taken an unexpected hard turn -- and who struggles to get back on the right path. |

I'm wondering what other plants grow well in poor soil conditions the would potentially attract more food towards my little minions and/or spruce up the look of its habitat |
Follow-Up Postings:
Wet damp area and a little bit of shade is like a resort for most insect. Which is also the prefer growing condition for most CP. Needless to say, there is no need to grow plant to attract more insect for your CP. Also, CPs do best when they have no competition around. |
Great info drosera84! I always see pics of other people planting other non cp's on the same area and wondered if ot was a good idea but from the soind of it your answer about competition seems logical. Thanks again |

The ads for this hotel all talk about the "friendly staff" but I found that FAR from the truth. All the male staff that I encountered the week we stayed there were extremely rude and acted like it was a huge bother anytime we needed anything. We stayed a week with our 2 year old so of course we needed... More

Just went out tonite for the evening inspection and walk-about....and to my HORROR....my yellow summer squash and zuchs have Squash Bugs!!! Since I've scaled WAY back, I only have 2 hills of each. Of course, one of each is way more affected than the other, but that doesn't fool me into thinking they BOTH aren't infested. The plants are only about a foot high and don't even have any blooms yet because I planted late.
I paniced...and thru my white-light furry....stomped to the garage and grabbed the Sevin. I dusted the top-side and underside of every single leaf...and then I did a light dusting of the Nat'l Pickling Cukes that I'm guarding with every reserve of energy I have. These bugs weren't full-fledged adults yet. They were only about as big as a pencil lead, but mercy! They were already doing a LOT of damage!!! I only found a few eggs on the underside of a few leaves, but I'm sure there's more I couldn't see yet. Now, I'm so remorseful. I've tried so stinkin' hard to garden organicly this year and I've had so much success so far that I guess I just snapped when these critters showed up. Ugh.....now I wish I could go out with a flashlight - wash the leaves and give the plant some other method to survive. My saving grace may be that DH was hooking up a new sprinkler. He asked what I was going to do when the water washed off the Sevin. My flippant reply was "hit them again in the morning!"....is this the only sure fire way to battle them? I've done a search of this forum as well as a google search. It all tells me that Sevin is the fastest most effective way to get & keep them under control. Maybe I should just pull the whole plant? Re-seed somewhere else and buy at a local farmer's market in the meantime? Ugh....I feel SOOOO defeated!!!! Surely I'm not the ONLY one to encounter these Devils yet... Paula |

Paula, I sinned also. I fought Squash bugs all last year, I decided I was not going down that road again. I have another area I am getting ready for Butternut. I have never grown them before. They will go into this new area in hills that I will amend. Sometimes it seems that you take one step forward and two steps back. Larry |
- Posted by soonergrandmom Z6 Grove (My Page) on Mon, Jun 20, 11 at 0:28
Butternut is a good choice. I was reading an article by Steve Bender this week and it listed these four as resistant to squash bugs: Butternut, Early Summer Crookneck, Improved Green Hubbard, and Royal Acorn. I went through my seeds and only had butternut. I had several hubbards and several acorns, but not the ones he recommended. I knew that butternut would be on that list, and expected to see Zuchetta, but it wasn't there. I would be interested to learn of your experience with any of those. Guess I will just take my chances because there are several others I would like to plant, with spaghetti squash being our favorite. |

You can still be organic and kill bugs! Just use products that are listed organic. Johnny's seed co. sells several. |
- Posted by PunkinHeadJones (My Page) on Mon, Jun 20, 11 at 8:50
Paula, I don't blame you. I might have reacted the same. I haven't used Sevin in the garden since moving here, but I have some Ecobran for grasshopper control, and I'll put it out in the garden if the wind ever stops blowing so hard. The Ecobran is a bran bait with 2% Sevin. It will affect only those insects that are attracted to the bran, which should be grasshoppers and likely crickets and a few other pests as well. Time will tell if it is effective. I won't spray Sevin, though, because of its effect on beneficial insects. I count on the beneficials to take care of most of my pest problems, so I can't afford to kill them off and just won't do it. You might try spraying Spinosad. It is about the best organic pesticide I've ever seen, although I haven't used it as a spray, only as a granular product. I don't use pyrethrins because of their toxicity to cats and I don't use Rotenone because of its link to some diseases in humans. I don't use neem either because it is an oil and can smother beneficials. See, once you start trying to choose what is "least harmful", even the organic pesticides don't seem so attractive, at least not to me. The squash bugs haven't hit our plants yet, but I've been expecting them any time now. Last year they hit us here about the third week in June. Also, I've seen the dreaded clear wing moth that lays the squash vine borer eggs, but haven't found any evidence of SVBs yet. Other than attempting to grow zuke and yellow squash every year, I've stopped planting anything the SVBs would kill. I still plant moschata squash, usually Seminole, and they usually don't bother it. I used to grow many kinds of pumpkins and winter squash but just got tired of the endless battle with the SVBs and squash bugs. I prefer keeping the squash plants covered with floating row covers, and likely will use that for my fall plantings. We've had so much high wind gusting into the 30s and 40s lately that keeping them covered is going to be difficult, which is one reason my current plants aren't covered. I'm thinking of building a wood frame---picture a cage---and covering it with floating row cover that is stapled or glued or something to attach it to the wooden frame, and then setting it over the next planting of squash. I might try that with a plant or two and try floating row cover over hoops with some other plantings and see what works best or if either one works. The drawback to row covers is you have to uncover the plants to pollinate the flowers, but it is probably preferable to losing everything to SVBs and squash bugs. Do what you've got to do to get a crop and do what your conscience can live with. Now, see, I think my conscience can live with me using EcoBran, but I don't think it would like for me to spray Sevin after working for 13 years to build a good population of beneficial insects. And, my conscience may change its mind after squash bugs kill my current squash plants (which just seems inevitable, doesn't it?). Some folks can wait and plant very late and get a crop, and it may work if you don't have anyone within a mile or two of you growing an earlier crop to give the squash bugs and SVBs a food source earlier in the season, and if you don't have the native squash plants they like. We have the native squash plants here (I destroy them on our property, but they are abundant along the nearby river bottom land) so we're always going to have SVBs and squash bugs close enough to us that they can migrate here.

Paula, out of all of our years in OK, I was only able to grow a decent amount of summer squash once. The squash bugs got 'em all the other years. I'd get maybe one or two squash and then blammy. They'd all die. I don't blame you a bit for losing your temper with them! I think the only reason I never did the same was because I never had any on hand. I'm hoping for at least a year's grace period here in the new place. Since the previous people didn't garden, maybe the squash bug network doesn't yet have it on their radar. LOL I'm growing tromboncino just in case, though. Carol, interesting to know about the early summer crookneck. It's one of my favorites but it's always succumbed to the critters as well. However, it's the only one that I ever get those one or two from before they croak. Diane |
Yeah, I have lost 75% of my hubbards to SVBs already. I have been able to keep the squash bugs to a minimum by checking leaves on an almost daily basis. I cannot count the number of squash bug eggs that I have removed/destroyed. I am hoping that the SVBs have made their pass through my garden for the next couple of months. I have been burying lengths of vine for my hubbards hoping they will root at those spots. My summer squash are handling the SVBs a little better, but I have lost a few to the SVBs. I now have to tackle the trillions of aphids on my cucumber plants. This has been an exhausting season of gardening, with little reward. |
I think when you read that butternuts are resistant, that they are talking SVB resistance, not resistance to squash bugs. It always frustrates me the way these two are discussed as if they are interchangeable, when they are so completely different. Last year my squash were devastated by squash bugs so I was really looking for them this year. On one day, about three weeks ago, I found a small adult and a bunch of tiny babies, no eggs. I smashed the adult. Got out thee Diamectacous earth and made a mess dusting the plants and the ground around them. Made sure to dust the undersides of the leaves, so that if any babies happened to hatch they would be born on the stuff. Well, it seems to be working, since I haven't seen another bug. I have about ten huge plants and maybe fifteen cucumbers. I've been checking them very closely every day for bugs and eggs. Not a sign! If something as benign to the beneficials as DE can work and I don't even have to resort to row covers and hand pollination I will be estatic. I don't seem to have the borers in AZ yet so I'm only dealing with those nasty bugs. |
It was my understanding that Sevin doesn't kill the squash bug. So I was searching for info on other ways to kill them. I found several places that said spraying soapy water would kill them. Of course I didn't believe it so just to see, I got my sprayer and mixed up some good soapy water using Dawn dish washing liquid. For a comparison I sprayed 1/2 of my plants with Dawn water and the other 1/2 with Bronco equine fly spray I have on hand which has pyrethrin and permethrin in it as well as citronella. To my surprise I can't tell by looking which plants were sprayed with what. Dead Squash bugs everywhere. Even still clinging to leaves and stalks. Just touch them and they fall off. Dawn is much cheaper! |
YEA! Good to know, highline! I may have to give that a try! I have also found an older thread on the Vegetable Forum for some input. I've linked it below. Also, I'm slowly converting my work-partner into a gardener and she mentioned today she had tons of gourds growing. Every year she mows them down and they come back plentiful. She got curious and did some kind of google search and came up with some interesting info. She read to me a site that says gourd leaves, soaked in water and wrapped around the stem of squash protects from borers. She also read that ground-up gourds, sprinkled around the plant ward of squash bugs. Something about them being toxic to the bugs but not inhibiting the pollinators. This method was supposedly used by the Indians. I've done a search and can't find the site, but I'll ask her tomorrow. Anyone ever heard of this? Paula |

Two yeas ago I tried dish soap mixed with pet flea shampoo, both a very light mixture. It seemed to help. I had to spray often and stopped because of concern about safety. I had not read anything about people trying it and I did not want to be a Guinna pig. Larry |

Tracy - I had always heard that butternut was resistant to SVB also, but here is the quote from the southerliving.com site. Plant Resistant Varieties Some squash types are resistant to squash bugs, including 'Butternut,' 'Early Summer Crookneck,' 'Improved Green Hubbard,' and 'Royal Acorn.' If you plant non-resistant types, check the leaf undersides frequently for eggs clusters and destroy the infested leaves./i> |

After I read your post I went out to take a good luck at my squash plants. Found two mating pairs, several egg clusters and a bunch of nymphs. I spent several minutes handpicking and squishing and then DH found the diatomaceous earth and sprinkled. Tomorrow or whenever I see more I may try the DAWN dish deterg. Thanks for that. |
- Posted by soonergrandmom Z6 Grove (My Page) on Mon, Jun 20, 11 at 21:37
So far I haven't had many pest except for pill bugs and slugs which I have just ignored and let them eat since I knew most of what they were eating was going to go to seed anyway. I did protect the eggplant with some diatomaceous earth and that seem to take care of the pill bug problem. I didn't find one worm on any of my broccoli and haven't seen any hornworms. I bought a dusting gun from Lee Valley that you can use with DE, it says wet the foliage and cover with a light dusting. I had planned to try it on the Japanese Beetles and see if it made any difference. I started seeing JB's on the grape vines this week but I haven't treated anything yet. I will also put it on other things if I begin to have a problem. I normally don't use anything but I have given up on summer squash except for Zuchetta. I am thinking of making a couple of grow cages for next year so I can grow a couple of squash in one and eggplant in the other. Soon we will be growing everything under protective covers if the insects get any worse.....and then there's the hail. |
Soonergrandmom, I'm glad the DE worked on pill bugs for you. I lost a bunch of bean seedlings this spring. I'll have to try that when I replant greens and beans in that bed this fall. |

I found two adults and a bunch of babies on one plant today. I sprayed the babies with a high concentration of Neem oil and cut the two adults in half. Evil squash bugs. Evil. Kelly |
I learned something else on this thread. The young ones are nymphs? Well, that's what I had last nite. They were dark with black legs, but not a full grown adult. Some were kinda of a light "glow" green and smaller so I imagine they were even younger. Obviously, these critters have no morals because there were enough eggs on the underside of the leaves to infest a 10 acre crop! I removed all the leaves that had eggs, plus pulled several of the plants that were past hope. Also, not a single sign of anything moving around the plants. I found a few remains of bugs. They still look like a baker tossed out 10 lbs of flour. Thanks for the tips, friends! Paula |

I know as soon as I send this It won't be true. A week ago I had a adult male on one plant. Grabed him and lost him but havn't seem him since. NO eggs no bugs yet. Kelly Paula sorry about the bugs. Larry tree |
I grow c. Moschatas almost exclusively. That is the butternut family. They resist squash vine borers but nothing I know of resists squash bugs. I guess gourds do. But my experience with them is limited. I've resorted to planting (re-planting) my squash in coffee can collars, hoping this keeps the squash bugs off them until they start to crawl. So far this year, they've killed most of my squash plants. Sevin is tempting.... George |

I have noticed some of you use DE, what grade do you use? I bought a 50 lb bag of it a few years ago and cant say it does a lot of good. The bag says "Food Grade", maybe I am using it wrong, maybe you are to pick a bowl of the bugs, dust them and eat them. If that is the case I think I can fill my freezer within a couple of weeks. Larry |
Larry, The food kind is the one to use. The swimming pool type sold at big box stores is processed dangerously and using it is hazardous to your health if you inhale the particles. DE hasn't worked as well for me as I'd like so I don't use it much any more. It works better in areas where I have the sandier soil, and doesn't work as well where I have clay. I have no idea why the difference in performance. Dawn |
Same as Dawn for me, Larry. I used it and it worked... okay. But the beneficial bugs worked just as good so I just quit using it in the garden. I do still use it in the chicken house, though. Diane |

I had DE left from when we had quail and we used it under their cages. I always have trouble with eggplant and some years don't even plant it. I didn't remember to plant it this year, but Chandra gave me one plant. I put it in a cheap tomato cage and covered it with a cover made from sheer curtain fabric. Although it probably got a little less light, it still got rain and protection from the flea beetles. I was shocked to see that it had leaf damage so I watched it for a day or to. One morning I uncovered it to find dozens of pill bugs so I scattered a little DE and covered it back up. The damage stopped and within a few days, it was stronger looking so I uncovered it and it is now blooming. Until a few days ago my hollyhocks were fine, but now there are no leaves, just the veins left where the leaves once were. I haven't been watching them so I don't know if they were eaten by flea beetles or Japanese beetles. We put some DE on the grapes this morning to see if that would make them less attractive to the JBs. Some of the leaves had 20 beetles on them. |

My friend saw a few squash bugs in our garden a week or so ago and used the dish soap/water mixture. She hasn't seen anymore. Should she keep applying it though? She was in tears at the thought of those bugs eating our garden! |

OMG!!! Spraying with the dawn really seemed to work. I have been searching and searching for a solution to this problem. I already lost one crook neck and one zuchinni to the buggers. I been have doing squash bug patrol every morning and every evening to no avail. I get about 6-8 adults every day and about one or two egg masses. I went out today armed with the dawn and sprayed my heart out. They came out of hiding and I was able to easily grab them up. One just keeled over as I was about to grab it was dead. Thank you, thank you highline for posting the dawn solution. I will be using it everyday. |
Okay, you all have me convinced to try the Dawn. What kind of water:Dawn ratio are you using? Just you watch -- I'll have no squash bugs to experiment on now. Diane |

I guess I am paranoid, but now I'm wondering about using it on dishes. LOL |
Would y'all please stop spraying me all over your plants. I'm getting spread really thin here. : ) Just be careful when using any insecticidal soaps on plant foliage in high temps and intense sunlight. It can burn plant foliage and, in fact, soap sprays also are used as herbicides....so be really careful with them! The way the soap works is that it coats the bugs and I think it starts dissolving their exoskeletons. It works by contact, so only kills those with which it makes contact before it dries. Dawn |

I guess I went a little heavy with it because I did burn some of the leaves on two of my plants. They were already understress from the squash bugs. I will go lighter next time. I still have time in the garden season so I might just plant two more on the other side of the house. |
I do not use soap sprays period in hot weather. In our intense heat and sunlight they can very easily burn foliage. Often the burn doesn't show up for a few days so folks don't realize what they've done to their plants and think instead that some weird disease has hit. Of course, not everyone in OK is as hot as we have been here (and many places in western OK are hotter). At our house we're at or over 100 every day lately and those temps are bad enough without making life harder on the plants by spraying them with soap. If you spray too much soap on your plants, you're spraying them with "herbicidal" soap and not "insecticidal" soap. If I were going to use soap, I'd avoid homemade concoctions and purchase a commercial soap spray. They are precisely formulated to lower the risk of having too much soap and burning the foliage. However, even commercial soap sprays can burn plants if used too heavily or in weather that is too hot or if too much of the solution is sprayed on the plant. Also, be sure to use soap and not detergent. Detergent burns a lot more easily. Dawn |
So, Dawn, are you a detergent or a soap? I have some Dr. Bronner's which I know is a soap. By the way, I'd planned on only spraying the actual bugs, not the plant. Of course, there will be some overspray, but I can't imagine giant parts of the plant getting sprayed? A random memory came to me today: In our OK house, we had continual problems with wasps getting in the house and we used soapy water to "shoot" them. I'd forgotten all about that until this morning.

Great thread! |
And thanks for reviving it because I'm faced with these little buggers once again! Really enjoyed re-visiting this subject and time! Since all this, I've bought a cheap little sprayer at the $ store and it's perfect for this application. My best recollection is the ratio is 1/4 cup Dawn DW soap to a gallon of water, maybe only a half the water though. And from experience, it must be the tried and true Dawn brand. (Ain't NOBODY like Dawn, right? OR Diane aka Owiebrain) I used the Dawn pink formula this spring to make the gardeners hand scrub recipe that Moni posted and I love it! Given several jars as gifts. Lesson learned...use Dawn. The soap or her. She's pretty good natured about it (her knowledge) and the brand name soap is the "bomb". Going out now to spray cuz the little buggers showed me some new eggs last nite....... |
I know that Dawn dish detergent is very popular for making soap sprays but it is a detergent, and detergents are more damaging than soap. Soap and detergent are not the same thing, y'all, so please use a kinder, gentler soap. I would feel horrible if y'all use detergent and burn your plant foliage. The hotter the temperatures get, the more likely detergent (and even soap) will burn foliage. So, if y'all insist upon spraying my namesake detergent on your plants, please be careful and spray in the very late afternoon or early evening, and never in the morning, and never, ever, ever during the middle of the day. Temperatures are heating up this week and folks who got away with spraying detergent in lower temperatures might have problems if they spray that same stuff on plants at significantly higher temperatures. We hit 100 degrees at our house today and I decided I am sick of summer and looking forward to autumn. If I was making a homemade soap spray, I'd use Dr. Bronner's, and I'd use the lavender one because that one has such a lovely aroma. You can spray your plants with it and inhale the lavender aroma and pretend you're growing a garden full of lavender. Moni's gardener's hand scrub is the bomb! I love it, love it, love it. Dawn |

There is a post above that suggests gourds could repel SBs and SVBs. It is a few years old. Did anyone try it? Any guess what kind of gourds. I have searched the internet far and wide looking for ways to deal with these pests and never found any other reference like this. |
- Posted by ChickenCoupe 7a (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Mon, Jun 30, 14 at 3:48
I'm curious to know about the gourds, too, Amy. I actually have a couple of old gourds we were gifted. I wonder if I bang them up and spread them around .... I'd hafta have approval. Bill loves gourds. I'm in a battle over my Old Timey Pumpkins which are growing like crazy. I keep shoveling dirt on the base of the stems.. really buried 1/4 of the plant yesterday to help against SVB. The squash bugs seem relentless. I'm considering dropping some yellow squash seeds to help keep them off the pumpkins. |
Bon - a deterring plant would be helpful. I've got zukes growing in a new place this year...but I planted catnip all around them. So far.....(knock on wood!!!) they have no bugs while the yellow straightneck are continually under attack. I've got dill in the bed with the straightneck as a deterent and it's obviously NOT working. Don't know about the gourds but if anyone needs any seeds, there was a TON of packets leftover from the Spring Fling. I'd be happy to mail them to anyone interested. Paula |

Catnip.. I will give that a try! This is certainly challenging. |
- Posted by AmyinOwasso 6b, Owasso, OK (My Page) on Wed, Jul 2, 14 at 15:11
I have radishes going to seed, petunias, buckwheat, marigold, calendula, chamomile and possibly catnip (though it didn't germinate well and I am just beginning to see plants I think are catnip. I planted the squash around the edges of a 4 foot bed, which is now working on climbing a trellis. The companions are kind of scatter sewn in the Middle. I keep looking for squash bugs, and knock wood, none have appeared. This chaotic method drives my OCD husband crazy, and there is quite a jungle. I was visited by borers a few weeks ago, but I am growing Trombocino and Scarchuks Supreme and so far damage has not slowed them down. There is a seminole pumpkin across the yard with only a radish in with it, so far it is clean, too. |
SVBs do attack gourds, although it seems like gourds are not necessarily their favorite thing. Sometimes they kill mine and sometimes they don't. They seem to bother decorative warted gourds more than they bother birdhouse gourds. The nice thing about catnip is you only have to plant it once. After that, it will reseed itself everywhere. I always let mine bloom its head off because the flowers attract beneficial insects. Catmint is another great companion plant for squash and other plants. I have "Walker's Low" catmint growing near my squash. Amy, Gently rub a leaf of your catnip-looking plant between your fingers and see if you pick up a catnip aroma. Their scent is present from a pretty early age. I think I have lost one Seminole plant one year, and I never checked it to see if it was SVBs that got it or if it was bacterial wilt or something similar. The other Seminole plants just filled in the area where the deceased plant had been growing and within a couple of weeks, it was so well filled-in that no one but I knew that a plant had died there in that row. In a good year, Seminole runs 30-40' across my garden and I let it do as it pleases because it grows in conditions, and under pest pressure, that nothing else can and will tolerate, except for other C. moschata winter squash. This year I planted both the regular fruited Seminole and the ones with the larger fruit. In the past, I've only grown the regular one. C. moschatas are as close to being SVB-proof as anything else I've ever grown. Squash bugs and squash vine borers are a big problem roughly 8 years out of 10 for everything except the C. moschata types. Over the years, I basically dropped all the C. pepo and C. maxima types of pumpkins, replacing them with C. moschata types. I just got tired of fighting the SVBs every year, so figured I'd work smarter instead of working harder, and replaced them with C. moschatas that deter the SVBs for me. Dawn |

PROVO, Utah (June 3, 2010) BYU head women's tennis coach Joey Johnson today announced he is resigning his position at the University effective immediately to pursue other opportunities.
Johnson led BYU womens tennis to a 2009-10 record of 9-13, finishing fourth in the Mountain West Conference at 5-3.
Prior to coming to BYU Johnson spent his professional career coaching and training top-level tennis players. From 2001-03 he trained on the ATP Pro Tour as a private coach. Johnson also spent four years as the Director of Tennis at Woodmoor Country Club in Monument, Colo., and three years at the Denver Tennis Club. Prior to that, he coached at several academies in the Southern California region. Johnson received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Liberal Arts from the University of Mississippi.
We appreciate coach Johnsons service to BYU, said associate athletics director Janie Penfield. We wish him the best in his future endeavors.
Lauren Jones Spencer
, who has been the assistant womens coach for the past two seasons,
has been named the interim head coach for the upcoming 2010-11 season.
Jones played tennis at BYU from 2003-07 where as a senior she was ranked No. 3 in the NCAA Central Region preseason polls. She and doubles partner Sofia Holden placed second in the Wilson/ITA Central-West Championships. She was undefeated at the 2007 MWC tournament and finished the season with a career-best singles record of 25-13, along with a 23-12 doubles record. She was named first-team All-Mountain West in both singles and doubles.
Yes and no. Lauren Jones Spencer is a former BYU player and obviously was the assistant coach before. Also, I believe that McCall's boyfriend may have just graduated from BYU (he is from Southern California) so a transfer to UCLA may also have been a move to be closer to her boyfriend. Also let's face it, she was way too good to be playing at BYU. I'm curious to see where they will be put her in the line-up.

so after brewing my first biab beer. there was allot of residue that got into my fermenter after chilling my worth. there was cold-break material and hop pellets residue. what is the best approach to avoid this for my future brews? its painfull having to transfer my beer every week to get all that gue out
You could pour into your fermentor through a funnel with a built in strainer. With a second pair of hands, using the funnel/strainer, pour through a paint straining bag. All sanitized of course. Cold break material and hop residue that gets into my carboy I just leave it. The trub will compact at the bottom. I keep my siphon above the trub layer so I don't transfer the trub to my bottling bucket. Transfer of the beer to a secondary vessel risks oxidation, contamination, or a stuck fermentation. Hope this helps.
yeah.. i can just buy a bazooka filter and add that to my kettle. i know the risk of transferring. and i was transferring to 2nd today. and bottling in about 2 weeks. wont coffee filters work aswell?
I think the coffee filters are small and would clog rather rapidly. With the paint strainer bag, as it collects material in the bottom, will still strain through the sides.
hmm will try that for my next brew then. but like i said http://www.bryggselv.no/products/bazooka-filter-30cm adding one of theese in my kettle will work fine as well right?
It would help, for sure, and that's actually what I used to use in my own boil kettle. I've since upgraded to a Hop Stopper, which almost works too well. I have to contain my hops in a separate hop screen cylinder, and even then, if there's a lot of break material in the boil, the Hop Stopper can get clogged and constrict flow out the valve. Other points I want to add: It doesn't matter if break material gets into your fermenter. It actually contains nutrients for the yeast. Don't worry about it. It will settle out at the bottom of the fermenter. It's far more damaging to rack your beer to another fermenter unnecessarily. Were you really doing that every week??? You risk contaminating your beer, or at least oxidizing it. Just leave it in the primary fermenter for the whole time and don't worry so much about the trub.
When I do BIAB, I have the grains and hops in a 5 gallon paint strainer bag. I get more trub than when doing batch sparge all grain but not enough that I do anything special. I just ferment in primary for 3 weeks or so then package. That time allows the trub to compact. I only lose maybe a couple bottles worth in comparison to batch sparging.
i lost about 1 liter of worth when transferring today. so thats not too bad... well im using wirfloch. thats why i got so much crap in my fermenter.... so im gonna try with a filter next time

Ergonomics Kitchen DesignA good ergonomics kitchen design must put physical, cognitive and organizational ergonomics into consideration. It is defined by the 'kitchen work triangle' and must also remember the ergonomics of good lighting.Whether you are designing a new kitchen or thinking of where to put your new refrigerator, here are some kitchen ergonomics principles to help you decide the best layout. These principles do not vary much according to the size of your kitchen. Ergonomics Kitchen DesignIn Ergonomics Kitchen design, the interior designer must have a solid knowledge of ergonomics. Most people think that ergonomics just refer to office ergonomics, but there are different types of ergonomics which can be applied to the home and in this case, the kitchen. Physical Ergonomics is applied to kitchen design because it considers how the body interacts with the stove, the sink, the oven etc Cognitive Ergonomics applied to kitchen design because it studies how the mind thinks and organizes workflows when using the kitchen. This way we cook and prepare food (and wash up later) is affected by the layout of the kitchen design. Organizational Ergonomics is applied here where it is concerned with optimizing the workplace of the kitchen. Familiar Scenarios in Ergonomics Kitchen LayoutDo you sometimes feel frustrated while cooking in your kitchen? Do you have an area in the kitchen where you spill things more often than you should, or find yourself knocking or bumping into things? Do you wish the sink was closer or that you did not have to walk around to the other side to get to the fridge? Then, you know what I'm talking about. These things that you need can be solved by applying ergonomic principles
to make us all more productive and efficient despite the kitchen size (too big or too small).
Kitchen Work TriangleAn efficient kitchen is said to have a good work triangle. The goals of a good work triangle is to set up the kitchen in such a way that the three most common 'working areas' - the refrigerator, sink and stove - at the most efficient distance apart. Travelling distance between this areas are also minimized as much as possible. From excerpt about.com In the traditional kitchen the three main work sites are: See more ergonomic kitchen design layouts.
Ergonomics Lighting for the KitchenGeneral 300 lux Counter top 750 lux The most important lighting is ones under the kitchen cabinets where you prepare your food and when you are cooking. When you are using a knife and chopping food, you'll need sufficient light all around, because you are in a potentially hazardous situation. A spotlight, a lamp is not enough. When you are cooking, you need that extra burst of light above the stove. Sometimes when you are cooking with a low fire, it is almost translucent and you may leave the stove on overnight or burn yourself.

Ann Mcfeatters: I understand the worry over the cost of the health care reform package and the confusion over what is in it. I understand the prevalence of fear, frustration and feeling out of control. But, folks, what's with the chucking common sense and decency out the window?
OK, I am just going to shout: WHAT IS GOING ON WITH AMERICA?
Men and women sending death threats to Democrats who voted for the health care overhaul bill. Americans vandalizing offices of members of Congress, menacing them, spitting on them and calling them nasty names based on who they are, not how they vote.
Citizens disrupting sessions of Congress and committee hearings.
E-mails and phone calls of spite and hatred.
I understand the worry over the cost of the health care reform package and the confusion over what is in it. I understand the prevalence of fear, frustration and feeling out of control.
But, folks, what's with chucking common sense and common decency out the window? And what's with those Republicans leaning over balconies on Capitol Hill, holding up placards to encourage people to go ballistic?
What's with Republican Sen. John McCain vowing Republicans won't cooperate with Democrats on anything for the rest of the year? What's with one member of Congress shouting "baby killer" to another member, who is against abortion? What's with Sarah Palin telling supporters to "reload" for the fight ahead?
Some Democrats on Capitol Hill are so worried about the threatened violence and intimidation they have sent their families away from home. The response of some Republicans has been to pooh-pooh the threats, saying they have been overstated or even made up. But nobody made up cutting the propane gas line to a grill at the home of the brother of a Democratic lawmaker.
We need a national time out. We need to have adults in control.
The goal of overhauling the health care program was to bring down costs, give businesses some certainty about future costs and prevent millions of Americans from declaring bankruptcy because they get sick and have no health insurance.
The new law will ban insurance companies from putting lifetime limits on people who get sick. It will ban insurance companies from denying insurance for preexisting conditions. It will let children stay on their parents' insurance until they are 26.
The costs are almost certain to be higher than we were told. And that makes us all uneasy. But the Republicans who refused to help make the bill better because they wanted President Barack Obama to fail did us no good. Doing nothing by keeping the status quo was a death knell for many small businesses and the wellbeing of many families. Health care reform is part of the financial overhaul we need to implement to get back economic momentum.
There will be lawsuits. There will be fixes. There will be years of tweaking and rewrites. Mistakes will be corrected. Oversights will be examined. Some Democrats who voted for overhaul will lose their seats in November. Some will be replaced by qualified people who should be in Congress. Others will be replaced by fired-up know-nothings who will flame out.
We all know democracy is messy, but we should brook nothing that prevents free, unfettered debate. That is why we should be extremely careful that our frustration with intimidation and lack of civility does not lead to an overreaction. Law enforcement -- such as the FBI -- is the right method to deal with threats to lawmakers or anyone else.
Yes, abortion, immigration and health care are emotional. But the idea that Congress is a "classroom" is a good analogy. Children are watching and learning. We have to teach them it is OK to get angry but how we deal with anger is a measure of what kind of people we are.
We have a long way to go before we find out how the new law will affect middle-income American families and seniors, whether it will live up to the promises and what the cost will be.
Meanwhile, we have to remember health insurance overhaul is now the law of the land, and we are a law-abiding nation. At least, I hope we are.

Erupting Volcanoes on Earth as Seen From Space
- |
- 12:02 am |
- Permalink
Astronauts aboard the International Space Station caught a lucky glimpse of the start of this eruption of Sarychev Volcano in the Kuril Islands, northeast of Japan, on June 12, 2009. This was the volcano's first eruption in 30 years.
The smooth white cloud, known as a pileus cloud, topping the eruption column may be made of water condensation caused by rising and cooling of the air above. In contrast, a dark gray cloud of ash near the ground is probably an avalanche of hot ash and rock known as a pyroclastic flow.
This photo sparked a debate among scientists about what caused the hole in the clouds above the eruption. Three possible options came up:
- It could have nothing to do with the eruption and simply be caused by the contrast in temperatures between the ocean and the island.
- A shockwave from the eruption could have blown a hole in the cloud deck.
- As the plume rose, air flowed downward along the sides and became warmer and evaporated the clouds.

Autumn Night
I've lost and regained weight several times over the years. In the past, I have gotten rid of my too big clothes as I've lost, but that had no bearing on whether or not I regained. For the most part, I believe I will maintain my weight loss, but there is a little voice in my head that says, "You never maintained in the past, so be prepared to regain." So what do you all think, should I take the clothes to Good Will now, or keep them until I've proven to myself I can maintain?

The Song of Roland by Anonymous
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The student who opens his heart to Homer, Plato, St. Augustine, the author of The Song of Roland, Dante, Chaucer, and Shakespeare, doesn't get, he gives; he learns to love these authors whose Beauty, Truth, and Good shine through the dark divine and human matter of their works like swarms of stars in the honey-combed night of time; he gazes on them with the thrilled fear we call "awe" and "wonder," the way a lover gazes upon his beloved, who would be shocked and ashamed at anyone who asked what he was going to get out of her!
Quoting John Senior, James Taylor introduces me to the 12th Century French epic poem, The Song of Roland. The poem tells the story of Charlemagne's nephew, Roland, as he goes to battle against pagan Muslims from Spain in the 8th Century. A traitor has betrayed Roland and Emperor Charles, leading to a battle between Roland and the Spanish Muslim king, Marsile.
The poem is reminiscent of Homer's The Iliad, with graphic depictions of death and battle. It is clear that it was written from a Christian perspective, pitting the Christian God and against the Muslim Muhammad and their idolatry of Apollo. Similar to the Greeks and Trojans pitting the various Greek gods against each other. Of course, in stark contrast to the gods in The Iliad, who were arbitrary and capricious with their help, The Song of Roland shows a Christian God who is active in history and the affairs of kings and men and a Muslim god who is silent and helpless.
This is only my first read, and so I am learning to be hesitant to make any dogmatic statements about the stories I review, but there is a sense in which, like The Iliad, death just continues to lead to more death. There is no end to death, no repentance, no forgiveness. Something that seems to be missing from what should be a thoroughly Christian tale.
I might add that this book was recommended to me as a commentary on The Song of Roland, one that might correct or clarify my above thoughts.

Denny Hamlin was on mission Sunday in New Hampshire as he dominated a majority of the LENOX Industrial Tools 301, but a late pit mishap would cost him a chance at the win.
There isn't a better way to spend your Saturday night: hanging out with your son watching a race filled with shrapnel from multiple wrecks.
When I woke up this afternoon, I had every intention of sweating out last nights fun by doing some yard work. But when I opened the door and felt the heat, I decided to crack open a cold one, crank up the A/C, hit the couch and watch the boys of NASCAR rumble through wine country in Northern California.
Little "E" fittingly ended his winless streak at 143 races, which is basically four years, on Father's Day.

On January 9, NYAM's Author Night Series featured NYAM Fellow Sharon Packer, MD, presenting her book Cinema's Sinister Psychiatrists – From Caligari to Hannibal to an attentive audience of 85 psychiatrists, other members of the medical profession, social workers, researchers, and the lay public.
Using film clips and passages from her book, Dr. Packer traced the history of the "mad doctor" characterization in film that dates back to early cinema. Bad depictions of mind doctors occurred long before Hannibal Lecter burst upon the scene; some of the most memorable characterizations can be seen in the 1920s German silent film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, which launched the stereotype of screen psychiatrists who are sicker than their patients, and the three films by Fritz Lang focused on the scheming hypnotist Dr. Mabuse.
Dr. Packer explained that many film psychiatrists function as political metaphors, while many more reflect real life clinical controversies. Her book discusses films with diabolical drugging, unethical experimentation, involuntary incarceration, sexual exploitation, lobotomies, "shock schlock," conspiracy theories, and military medicine, to show how fact informs fantasy, and when fantasy trumps reality.
Sharon Packer, MD, is a New York City psychiatrist in private practice. Dr. Packer is a Fellow of The New York Academy of Medicine and Executive Committee member of NYAM's History of Medicine and Public Health Section.

Pseudotsuga menziesii 'Pine Grove Gold' |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by severnside (My Page) on Sun, Jun 1, 14 at 15:52
Excellent Sluice! How thick was the caliper of the branch you grafted? I want to graft my P.menz 'Knaphill' but the branches are pretty thin. It'll certainly test my precision. |
This post was edited by severnside on Sun, Jun 1, 14 at 15:53
Thanks Severnside. Both the scions and the understock (U. Idaho P. menziesii SuperStock) were thin, and every graft took! Pinus pseudopumilio 'Vostrak' (on P. ponderosa) |
"Pinus pseudopumilio 'Vostrak'" "Pinus pseudopumilio" = Pinus mugo nothosubsp. rotundata (i.e., intergrade between subsp. mugo and subsp. uncinata). Resin |

svvveet! Good job man. Dax Picea pungens 'Vicksburg' Graft 1 Picea pungens 'Vicksburg' Graft 2 I see I added an "h" to 'Vicksburg'. I'll fix that. |
- Posted by severnside (My Page) on Wed, Jun 4, 14 at 15:44
Dax, Not sure how you mean the buds kept the scion alive. As in If they hadn't pushed then the rootstock was doomed too quickly for the scion to take over? Of that their new foliage would provide the nutrients still needed. On my mugo grafts the rootstock has galloped away at species tree speed so I've removed all but the apical candles and reduced those by a half. I've also left nurse branches with a single reduced candle. I've taken most needles off apart from a bunch at the top above the graft but left most on the nurse branches both of which divert below the graft. All ok? Bear in mind that I had to use three year old species as rootstock grafted to last season's growth so the roots will be more developed that normal rootstock perhaps, which is why I've left the nurse branches. |

Basically most of my Picea rootstocks never pushed a bud and since the rootstock is dead, so were the scions. These two above showed "some sign of life." Key! What you have to do is keep enough foliage but also eliminate when too much spurts. It sounds as if you've got a grip on that. Remember... there is no rush, ever, to behead the rootstock. Sometimes it takes many years for yourself to feel comfortable about finally removing it... it's always a balancing game of energy needed to support what's above the soil and what's below. When that balance has been mostly fulfilled or fulfilled, then cut it off. Dax |
Dax, those Vicksburg grafts look great! Picea glauca 'Palecek' |
Thanks Resin, does this mean pseudopumilio and rotundata are the same? I had not heard of nothosubspecies before, but now see it refers to "a hybrid between taxa at the subspecies level". Here is a grafted scion I received as Pinus rotundata 'Eso'. Would the name then be Pinus mugo nothosubsp. rotundata 'Eso'? I might need to get a larger plant name tag! ;) 'Eso' |
Hi Nate, Pinus mugo and Pinus pseudopumilio are two separate species - look please: http://www.npsumava.cz/storage/str151-157.pdf L+M S |
Thanks L+M S! This paper reports that Pinus Ă— pseudopumilio is a stabilized hybrid between P. mugo and P. rotundata, originating from the Bohemian Forest peat bogs. |
Picea pungens 'Mseno' |

Looking great Sluice! Can you remind me what the yellow sealant is you use? Probably not available here but is it the same as bonsai sealant? |
- Posted by maple_grove 6 (My Page) on Wed, Jun 18, 14 at 12:12
Nice grafts, love the pictures! Some more information about the relationship between pseudopumilio and the other species was provided in a thread from last year, which I'll link to below. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Pinus uncinata...or not?
Severnside, that's Doc Farwell's grafting seal (link below). Thanks for the additional info Alex! |

Thanks. Not available here but there are bonsai sealants. This time I just ordered some beeswax to make the scion/rootstock convergance notch rainproof. I'll get the bonsai sealant with antiseptic properties to properly seal the next grafts I do. Yours always look well buttoned up. |
Sounds like a good plan. The sealant seems to help preserve tissue hydration at the union. Pinus jeffreyi 'Pondosa # 3' Sylvilagus |
- Posted by severnside UK SW9 (My Page) on Sat, Jun 21, 14 at 18:12
Always good to see a Jeffrey pine, looking happy! Ha ha the rabbit actually gave me a start as I scrolled down, wasn't expecting such a severe gaze. Great shot! |
Thanks Severnside! Here's another one, grafted early March and now starting to extend needles. P. ponderosa 'Labe' |
- Posted by severnside UK SW9 (My Page) on Mon, Jul 21, 14 at 16:52
Good work Sluice, I like the green needles emerging form that mass of candles scales, suggests the reach for life. It's good that once the new needles are out they then contribute energy back to the scion in return. Consolidation. |
Thanks Severnside. Yes, I'm very glad to see the new growth on these! More early March grafts. P. ponderosa 'Penaz' P. ponderosa 'Penaz' Pinus ponderosa 'Agnieszka' |

Jason Lewis Doesn't Like to Kiss and Smell
Much like the episode of SATC in which Samantha couldn't decide whether putting up with stinky spunk was worth the trade-off for good sex, Jason Lewis was once faced with a smelly partner whose overpowering stench ultimately broke up their relationship.
Doing press for the big-screen Sex and the City, the model turned actor told WENN about his past dilemma, "I remember thinking, 'Your arms stink, your breath stinks. Oh, God, even your hair stinks.' I asked a female friend, 'What do I do? Slip her acidophilus when I cook for her?' "
However, the olfactory overload proved too much for the man, and he dumped the odoriferous lass. Wisely, Jason opted not to drop any names, but some of the high-profile ladies he's dated include Rosario Dawson, Jennifer Aniston and Jennifer Esposito.
Take our poll at right, 'cause your guess is as good as anyone's.
