As epic fantasies so often do The Emperor's Blades, a debut novel from Brian Stavely, begins with the death of a ruler, and continues to follow the fall-out as it consumes his realm and children. This pattern should be familiar to readers of everything from George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire, to David Anthony Durham's Acacia Trilogy. In this case, Staveley begins with three children — two male heirs, Kaden and Valyn, and a daughter suited to rule in all ways but her gender, Adare. The boys are gone from court, sent away by their father to learn at the feet of other masters, both to groom them for rule and protect them from the court's conspiracies. Kaden, first in line for the throne, is a monk. Not the sexy D&D-type, with fists of stone, but rather a contemplative ascetic seeking to understand the world from a different perspective. Valyn lives a different life among the Kettral, the Empire's special forces. Most of the Staveley's narrative is concerned with the brothers' conflicts: Kaden to realize a state of mind his father sent him to learn, and Valyn to find acceptance in an elite brotherhood. Of course, the impact of their father's death resonates throughout their stories, but only in an overarching way. The Emperor's Blades is very much a coming of age story, and less about the epic struggle for the Unhewn Throne and the fate of the world. Read More »

I have a confession to make.
I read Andy Weir's The Martian because of the cover. It's shiny and dramatic, features an astronaut, and, well… it's really shiny.
Earlier this year, I read An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth, the autobiography of Chris Hadfield, a Canadian astronaut and former commander of the International Space Station, and Packing for Mars by Mary Roach, a non-fiction examination of what it takes to survive in space. So, after two non-fiction books, The Martian seemed like the perfect cap-off to my mini-tour of our solar system.
The difference between the three books is obvious from the get-go, most notably the backgrounds and first-hand experiences of the three authors. Hadfield's book draws on his own personal knowledge of being an astronaut, including a harrowing tale of a time when he was literally blinded while doing a spacewalk. Roach's book is a well-researched examination of the amusing and relatable aspects of human life in space. Weir, on the other hand, is an admitted hobbyist, and his novel combines Roach's obsessive level of research with the a mile-a-minute plotting of Michael Crichton's best science thrillers.
"I'm the sort of geek who will stay up all night to watch the news and see a Mars probe land," Weir told Shawn Speakman, in an interview with Suvudu. "So I started out with a pretty heavy hobbyist knowledge of the material. Then, while writing the book I did tons of research. I wanted the science to be as accurate as I could possibly make it."

Every time Nolan Santiago closes his eyes in Arizona, he opens them in another world. There, he sees through the eyes of Amara, a mute servant tasked with protecting Cilla, a renegade princess threatened by a terrible curse. Though Amara doesn't know it, Nolan has been bound to her his whole life, a silent passenger who nonetheless sees her thoughts and feels her pain as though they were his own. Nolan's family think he has epilepsy, seizures and hallucinations, but no matter how many pills he takes, Amara remains real. Until, suddenly, a new medication gives Nolan the power to take over Amara's body. For the first time, he can communicate with the Dunelands – and with Amara. But Amara has enough problems without learning about Nolan: her life is a misery of torture and servitude, she doesn't know how to feel about Cilla, and the assassins chasing them are closing in. How can Nolan help with that? And why does Amara's master, Jorn, seem suddenly to be in league with Cilla's enemies?
This is going to be a review in three parts: a spoiler-free overview, some spoilery analysis, and a spoiler-free conclusion – because, as you may have guessed, Otherbound is a tricky book to discuss without giving away the ending. Or so I found it to be, though others may not – it's very much a Your Mileage May Vary issue.
But I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's start with the basics, shall we? Read More »
Just one look at the cover of Brandon Sanderson's The Way of Kings tells you everything you need to know about it. If you're a fantasy virgin, a passerby in the grocery store, you can tell that it's about knights and vivid fantastical set pieces. If you're a long entrenched fantasy reader, you can see that, for all of publisher Tor Books' will to make it so, the first volume of Brandon Sanderon's The Stormlight Archives is the "next big fantasy, " the heir apparent to Robert Jordan's legendary and flawed opus, the Wheel of Time.
The Way of Kings is big. Thunderously huge. Sanderson might be best known for his work completing the late Robert Jordan's series, but before that he was known to fantasy fans as one of the more exciting upcoming epic fantasists. His most popular work up to that point was the Mistborn trilogy, a self-contained series that, while applaudable for Sanderson's eagerness to develop fascinating magic systems, suffered from poor pacing and bloat in both the second and third volumes. The longest of those volumes was two-thirds the length of The Way of Kings, the shortest about half.
Most writers are expected to write an epic fantasy in less than 200,000 words, The Way of Kings flirts with 400,000.
Since then, Sanderson's star has risen to heights reached by few other working fantasy authors, and as a result the editorial department at Tor has slackened their reins, hoping to nurture the novelist as he attempts to fill the enormous hole left by Jordan's passing. Even in the early pages The Way of Kings, while Sanderson is busy introducing readers to fallen gods, it's easy to recognize his excitement at being given the reins to write an epic fantasy in the vein of Jordan, et al. Most writers are expected to write an epic fantasy in less than 200,000 words, yet The Way of Kings flirts with 400,000. Though this immense privilege and freedom for Sanderson's ambitions hurts the novel, it also allows for a refreshing boldness and scope that the genre has been missing since the completion of the Wheel of Time and Steven Erikson's Malazan Book of the Fallen.

Once upon a time there was a book. In the first twenty pages it had like a bajillion names, several dozen instances of archaic speech patterns, and quite a bit of moping. I was instantly willing to hate it. But, because I'm a true critic of the arts, I continued. Also, because I can't really beat a book up unless I finish it, right? I admit to doing this on occasion. However, as I continued to read Katherine Addison's The Goblin Emperor, I became enthralled. What was off-putting became second nature and beneath it was revealed a gorgeous narrative, a lush world, and dozens of fascinating characters. While there remains an absurd indulgence in complicated naming mechanisms, Addison's fantasy novel rates among the best I've read.
Katherine Addison is a genius
Every book has a story, and The Goblin Emperor's begins long before it was published. Katherine Addison is actually Sarah Monette, a critically acclaimed author of four novels for Ace Books. Unfortunately, those books didn't sell very well. The Goblin Emperor was submitted to Ace and rejected, forcing Monette to shop the project elsewhere. Purchased by the Jim Frankel (who has had some problems subsequently) at Tor, the novel found a home. Monette became Katherine Addison because bookstores aren't big fans of authors who don't sell real well, but are easily mollified with byline changes. I mention this because I have no idea whether Monette can write her way out of a paper bag, but Katherine Addison is a genius and Ace should be totally bummed they didn't buy The Goblin Emperor.

New Concordia study shows road safety could be enhanced by better roadway markings
As spring finally emerges after a ferocious winter, our battered roads will soon be re-exposed. While potholes and cracks might make news, a larger concern should be the deterioration to pavement markings, from yellow to white lines, which are a major factor in preventing traffic accidents.
A study from Concordia University, funded by Infrastructure Canada and published in Structure and Infrastructure Engineering, found that snowplows are the biggest culprit in erasing roadway markings.
The research team also examined the impact of salt and sand on the visibility of pavement markings. The conclusion: a simple switch in paint can save cars — and lives.
Using data from the Ontario and Quebec ministries of transportation and the municipalities of Montreal and Ottawa, Professor Tarek Zayed of Concordia's Department of Building, Civil and Environmental Engineering measured the relationship between materials used in pavement markings, and their age and durability.
He also compared highways with city roads, examined traffic levels and took note of the types of vehicles involved. Finally, Zayed and his research team examined marking types such as highway centre lines, pedestrian crosswalks and traffic intersections.
They found snowploughs to be the worst on roads because they literally scrape paint off the streets. "Snow removal is the major contributing factor to wear and tear on pavement markings, because when snow is pushed off the road, part of the markings is taken off too," says Zayed.
What can improve the chances of pavement markings surviving the winter? Zayed suggests that an upgrade to more expensive and durable epoxy paint might be more cost effective in the long run. Other options include paint tape and thermoplastic, although these are quite expensive.
He also suggests wider use of a technical device called a retroreflectometer to help assess the paint's reflectivity and resulting effectiveness. "In the U.S., this standard has been in place for almost a decade," he says, adding that minimum standards for reflectivity are used to signal when a road must be repainted.
Zayed also says Canadian roads are in desperate need of more studies. For example, while epoxy is known to be a more durable paint, since it is not yet widely used in Ontario and Quebec, more research is needed to show exactly how it holds up to stressors like salt and snow removal.
While several studies have been conducted in the central and southern United States to compare and evaluate the durability of pavement markings, Zayed points out that the findings don't translate very well given the strikingly different weather conditions between warm versus seasonal climates.
Partners in research: This study, funded by Infrastructure Canada, was co-authored by Emad Elwakil, Ahmed Eweda and Tarek Zayed, members of the Department of Building, Civil and Environmental Engineering at Concordia University.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Help me Improve~
Feel free to post any constructive criticisms here, but I want to ask about a specific topic:
I don't like having to pause the video constantly (as with the "how to juke Yi using the brush) to explain a very short situation, because it looks a little janky and isn't really very sexy. Sometimes it's cool, like the pauses for aiming skill-shots with the Anivia video or when ulting Akali near the end, and I think it's even permissible with the skill demos so I can focus on what the particles look like, though I'd like to find a slightly better solution there if possible. Probably taking the time to farm 40% CDR and tanking it up with Frozen Heart, Soul Shroud, and 4 Warmogs would work. What would be a better way to put a lot of information in a short clip? |
This is going to get trolled all to hell....
By imforming the masses that 5x malady is the way to go.
Slowmo / rewinding and replaying.
EDIT: For instance, with your juking example, play it through one time while talking about it, then slow-mo it, then finally replay it again. On the other hand you could do a Madden type of thing and pause it, draw arrows and Xs on the screen to show your point, then play it to see how it looks. |
You said you want to be specific about the topic, and I have no idea what you are talking about.
Help you improve on what..? |
I think the spotlights are fine.
Although, I don't like people sheeping your item builds all the time, because they don't know any better. |
I actually didn't mind the pauses. I thought it was a great tip that deserved to be in the spotlight, though not quite specific to Lux. Perhaps this type of information can be created in a general tips and tricks video, or as I might call it a "Champions Spotlight." Pretty cool name huh?
I suppose it depends on what kind of information you want to put?
Like owninoobs said, be more specific? |
Get the voice actor who does Zilean to do it.
The pauses and replaying won't seem silly. |
For a second, I was going to suggest we 1v1 so you can learn through your defeats, but then I realized this thread is about the spotlights.

Quick poll: Steadfast beliefs or question everything?
I'd be 4, but closer to 5 than 3 (36 comments)
I've found that it is necessary to have some sort of belief, right or wrong. So I don't necessarily question everything. For example, it is easier to get on with life if you believe you exist and that the basic rules of reality and physics accepted by the grand majority apply to you. Questioning existence and reality makes for interesting philosophy, a variety of sci-fi/fantasy, and lousy living.
That said, I do question just about anything of my beliefs that there is not obvious agreement on. I find it fascinating to look at why we, as humans, and I, as an individual, hold some beliefs nearly sacrosanct. What makes one person believe in a god so completely they live every moment of their lives based on that belief, while another person believes so firmly that there are no higher beings or magic or supernatural things of any kind, so that both consider the other insane to believe that way? Ultimately, I look at most of my beliefs from the perspective of "This is what I believe and why, but if I am wrong, these are the other possibilities and the consequences of each." The ones I haven't done this with are often the things I don't even realize are beliefs rather than facts.

I have always loved irises and they grow well here. I have been reading old threads and really enjoying them. I have fallen for two red irises: I was wondering if anyone has had problems with the foliage flopping. Usually Siberians have nice foliage but some is better than others. For example, I have Butter and Sugar that is a little flopped or messy looking compared to the other purple ones that I have. Thanks for any help. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Sorry no one has an answer. I did see a photo of 'Miss Apple' and the top foliage showing looked straight & upright. |
Thanks iris gal. I saw that photo too. I think I shall procede with caution; maybe order one and see how it goes. |
Beverly, I can't answer your specific question because I have no experience with the iris you have mentioned. However, my experience with Siberian Iris leads me to believe that there is a great deal of difference between an old standby like Caesar's Brother and the newer cultivars I have planted. CB grows vigorously and provides beautiful foliage that can used in the landscape like an ornamental grass. The foliage on the newer SI just doesn't measure up. I'm hoping that as they mature the foliage might improve. |
Harryshoe, thanks for your input. I have an old standby, Butter and Sugar with foliage that won't stand up. Perhaps I need to leave it in one spot a little longer. Any guess on how long it takes to make a nice clump? I have another NOID, purple, that stands up strait as can be after only one year. Could be Caesar's Brother or could be not a Siberian at all. |

I also am new to sib iris. I love them. I love the foliage almost as much as the flower itself. do you have seeds to share? |

Play-by-Play Classic leftovers
Since high-school basketball junkies no longer are treated with the day-long feast of district games at The Barn, the newly renamed Jared Sullinger Play-by-Play Classic today at Ohio Dominican will have to suffice. The overflow crowd, which included a who's who of former players and coaches, certainly got its collective fix.
A few things that I took away from the Classic, in chronological fashion:
Newark 55, Africentric 43:
In all the years I've watched Newark basketball, I can't recall a team shorter than this one, but the Wildcats compensate for it with good quickness, clutch shooting and smart play. Jeff Quackenbush is one of the best coaches around and he knows how to reduce games to the final few minutes and have his team in position to be shooting free throws with the game on the line. Jordan Dartis, who became the school's all-time scoring leader on Friday, can carry the team on his back for stretches.

From the notebook
Worthington Kilbourne long snapper Liam McCullough will be one of six Ohio State recruits on display in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl Saturday at the Alamodome in San Antonio. The game will be televised at 1 p.m. local time on NBC.
McCullough, who recently was selected as one of three finalists for the Chris Rubio Award as the top high-school long snapper in the country, will play for the West squad. That award will be announced during a banquet in Las Vegas Jan. 16. Rubio, the foremost authority on long snapping, recently said of McCullough, "The more I watch Liam snap the ball, the more I am impressed with him. He absolutely rips the ball back to the punter. You almost feel bad for the guy that stands 15 yards back from Liam. I have timed him in the mid point-fives and and I am very strict with my timing. He snaps with great power and accuracy."

Budget deal includes aid for proposed Batavia plant
Albany, N.Y. - State lawmakers are expected to vote on a budget agreement Monday,
The governor and state lawmakers reached a $140 billion deal late Friday. It would increase state spending by nearly two percent, enact public campaign finance reform and provide tax breaks to homeowners and businesses.
The budget also includes $33 million for the Science, Technology and Advance Manufacturing Park, or STAMP, near Batavia.
The money would go toward real estate and infrastructure development of the site.
Supporters have said the would-be nanotechnology research and manufacturing hub could bring as many as 10,000 jobs to western New York.
$1.1 billion will also go toward school aid, and $340 million for statewide Pre-K, with most Pre-K aid going to New York City schools.
The agreement bans standardized tests in early grades and prevents student from being held back if they fail the states new Common Core tests.
If it passes today, it would mark the fourth consecutive on-time budget for New York.

We waited outside at the location we were told, it was very hot and had to wait 35 min. from the time I got outside.
Not sure why, but had to pay the airport fee twice. At least that's what the clerk at the counter told me. I was disappointed how the cars where parked inside the lot...some on grassy incline. However, it served its purpose.
This is the best of the off-airport parking lots I've used so far, and great value for money. Service was fast, efficient and courteous, including the airport pickup.
It took 50 minutes from the time I called to get picked up at the airport. I will never use this again
Inconvenient location. Car rental lot also does parking. Shuttle was fine but when picked up car only one attendant on duty at entire lot. Took forever. Also car was parked under trees and LOTS of leaves had to be washed off before it could be driven. WOULD NOT USE AGAIN FOR FREE!
Thank you!
This place needs TWO shuttle buses. The only thing positive was the PRICE.
good workers
It took them 50 minutes to pick us up. Every other company sent 3 0r 4 shuttles during the time that we were waiting for our one van. We sat there and sucked up exhaust fumes. I will NEVER use them again.
Great, great service. We will continue to use you guys for all our parking needs. Thanks.
Allow customers to opt to pay the toll & save 10 minutes.
Vans were very clean and drivers were nice.
I will definitely use them again, and recommend to friends. At arrival to airport, I called when we had all of our luggage. The driver was waiting for us when we found the designated spot!
I used them several times. Great customer service; however, yes, I had to wait a while for a shuttle pick up. I had time on my hands, so did not get too upset, especially knowing that I already saved money on parking with them.
Shuttle service was prompt and courteous. My car was in perfect condition upon return and the valet service was much appreciated.
Took 45 minutes between calling them and finally getting picked up (15 more to get to lot and pay). Called 3 times after 1st call and kept being told "the driver should be there any minute." Wish they could have at least given a realistic estimate so I could have done something with my time instead of waiting. Driver never acknowledged the long wait.
awsome 3rd time using them!!!!
All employees courteous and helpful. Will definitely use again.
Booked at Economy parking. Loved that they took care of our car for us and the price to park was exceptional. It was very prompt and easy. Upon our return, we only waited about 15 minutes to be picked up other trips with other parking businesses always took an hour. What I wasn't pleased with is our driver when returning to the lot. He was speeding (my husband noticed he was going 60 in a 40) and wasn't wearing a seatbelt for half the trip. Then his cell rang and he answered it. We were flying all over the van. I have my 4 year old next to me and a 7 month old in my lap so I would have expected extra care with his driving and was left feeling unsafe. Other than the driver on our return I thought it was the best parking experience we ever had and I would go there again.
Very good. Would use again.

Gear Review
Seams are crap
The design of this glove is quite good, however it is let down by poor stitching. I first bought a pair 2 years ago. After one snow trip (9 days on the hill) the stitching on the fingers started to come undone. When I got home I sent them back to Burton and got a replacement pair. I used them 6 months later and exactly the same thing happened. Burton would not replace this pair as they were out of warranty. Poor customer service. I will not buy burton gloves again.

Blitz: Great early game... now what?
So, it's happened a fair amount in my last several games, I get a great start with blitz (5-1-3+ or the like), my grabs are on fire and I'm handing out Skynet style punishment with the help of my tower... and now the question is, how do I change my build to take advantage of the early surge.
My typical build is: Sheen, Swiftness/Merc Treads, Aegis and then continue building tank-ish depending on the other teams strong players. (possibly with a damage item later to assist tower smashing). This works well and it's pretty flexible. But I feel like I'm not really making the best use of the hand I was dealt when I'm doing well. If I'm face-smashing, do I really need to play flexible/defensive? I feel like I lose some momentum here, but I'm not really sure of a good build to jumpshift into... Where do I go from here? EDIT: btw, in case it matters, which I spose it does, Runes: Glyphs: CDR Seals: Mp5 Marks: Magic Pen Quints: Magic Pen Summoner Spells: Flash and Clarity Masteries 9-16-0 |
Initiate teamfights.
When the lanes are clear of creep and everyone is just poking, grab someone and start something. HIde behind trees and pull. |
Not particularly. Being able to carry your team through a fight through disables and tanking is just as good as killing the enemy yourself. I haven't played Blitz since they gave his ult a silence again, but I used to get triforce and a good CDR item along with tanky items.
Yeah, that's a lot of what I've been doing, Soul Shroud and then pickup the triforce, and I totally appreciate carrying a team without having to be the killer. But my logic here is,
"Okay, I'm way ahead of the curve on my items already, they really can't do much to me in the way of damage, if I keep going tanking items, my ult is going to get steadily less useful as the game progresses (and I do love me some flash bomb), it doesn't hurt my damage mitigation right now to splash for a little AP does it?" |
Abyssal if u want some AP.
Rylais is a good option as well |
Abyssal sounds good, I'll try it out
I only just started playing Blitz, but I really like Rod of Ages on him. It's got a ton of HP, a lot of mana to buff his passive, and the AP splash that one likes to have. But I prefer to play tank/disable Blitz as opposed to the Sheen-based Punch Them In The Face Blitz.
the problems seems to me that you treat blitz as a tank, while he isn't. He has a great initiating skill, but apart from his shield, nothing that helps his survivabillity. You should look at him as a initiating tanky dps. try building:
Sheen Boots Glacial Shroud Trinity Force Frozen heart |
Rylai's and possibly a damage item for hefty punches + tower busting?

Oh and that Rose de Rescht is fantastic! It looks like a bouquet! |
Oh my! Northspruce, you have my favourite rose that I cannot have here - Double Delight!!! Yours is BEAUTIFUL! How did you manage to grow it in your area!? I so wanted one, but I am sure that it will be a waste of money for me to try to grow it in Calgary.... SIGH! All of these lovely pictures from y'all are making me salivate....!!! |

Thanks Ostrich, actually I've had DD for over 10 years including taking it when I moved. I cover it with leaves in the winter and it dies back to the ground. |
- Posted by SouthCountryGuy SE BC 4b wannabe 5 (My Page) on Thu, Jul 10, 14 at 10:26
North I have a feeling you may be right. I was wondering as well, now that you mention the foliage I think I need to contact the vendor. I will do some research to be certain. Love the DD. I purchased one that 'over wintered' and was on sale. I looked great leafed out until I put it in the ground and it sat dormant for 2 months. Just a couple days ago it started pushing new growth. Yeah Rose de Rescht is and cute little ball. I had very high hopes for this rose and so far it looks like it isn't going to let me down. Ostrich I suggest you try it! If anything it could be an expensive annual !!! LOL |
Morden Fireglow, the light is playing tricks with the color and Lady Elsie May which was planted this spring. |

don, it is absolutely amazing that you can grow all of these gorgeous hybrid tea roses in our zone! I have yet to acquire that green thumb for roses!!! TanlineTracey, that William Baffin is very lovely indeed! So lush and healthy. How big was it last year when you planted it? Thank you everyone for the eye candy pics!!! |

Here is the Persion yellow rose that I do not like very much, I've had it for about 5 yrs and this is the most blooms ever on this one Cain wonder. Blooms on old yucky wood for about a week and that's all. :( oh well |
- Posted by SouthCountryGuy SE BC 4b wannabe 5 (My Page) on Fri, Jul 11, 14 at 9:24
Lovely pics all. Don't have time to comment individually so will try later if I remember. SCG |
I really like the variety of roses that everyone is growing. Tracey your Persian yellow looks very healthy, I am trying to get one established from being budded to growing on it's own roots, this second attempt has black spot and so did the first. The first one was setting flower buds in the fall but it was to late, the canes looked good coming out of winter but the root stock failed. |
- Posted by SouthCountryGuy SE BC 4b wannabe 5 (My Page) on Sat, Jul 12, 14 at 15:14
I can't resist. 'Felicia' 'Mont Blanc' first bloom 'Skyrocket' 'Reine de Violettes' another bouquet 'Morden Sunrise' and 'Easy does it' a fitting end lol Keep them coming folks love seeing them all! SCG |
SCG - great roses!!! I cannot believe that you're a gardening "newbie"!? NO WAY! You also must have some great property too - oh, and I love the way that you have put stones around the Morden Sunrise. That is just gorgeous! |

Thanks for the compliments.. Yeah I only went 'into the ground' last year for flowers etc. Usually had a veggie garden but first time for flowers and roses. I am fortunate to have nearly 6 acres of land.....which scares me because I love my plants but I figure by the time I am happy I will be too old to care for it all!!! One day I hope to build a house on this spot....such a warm micro climate compared to areas around... SCG |
What are you living in now??? LOL |
- Posted by SouthCountryGuy SE BC 5 (My Page) on Sun, Jul 13, 14 at 20:54
Since I am redneck I live in a trailer. For the sensitive type I am in a modular. My 'shop' is what I purchased the place with. A 1966 mobile home that didn't have a working furnace. I lived in that for a few years till upgrading. I have 700 sq ft of living area, 1100 in gardens (and growing) and 16,000 in lawn. I bet you can tell we sit on the deck lots. I'd love a nice house but I can't afford it and my location. So location it is. Yay!! SCG |
My son is in the same situation with the "modular" home on a large piece of property. And i have friends who cut probably that much grass - i think they're nuts! LOL Funny how you have more gardens than living area! |

I bought two Champlains this year and I'm so happy with them. Definetly have continuously bloomed, and tons. Next yr I need another and one for my mom cause she likes red. |
My Champlain is really red this year as well. I find that no matter how well it gets protected for the winter, it has a lot of dieback, but it always rebounds in the summer. |
- Posted by TanlineTracey 2 (My Page) on Mon, Jul 14, 14 at 12:36
Emily Carr. She's about 5 yrs old. Only blooms once for me but very pretty red and this rose is very hardy. Caterpillars ate it down to nothing last yr and it grew back and bloomed and is now bigger this year. Because of the lack of blooms and she's very thorny I've thought of getting rid of her but her hardiness and color allows her to stay |
- Posted by northspruce z3a MB CDA (My Page) on Tue, Jul 15, 14 at 18:45
My Champlain is very red this year too! It doesn't die back but it has never grown very big for me, maybe that's why it doesn't die back because it's under the snow. Mine is on its own roots... maybe it would be more vigorous on a graft. |
I don't know if mine is own-root or not - i don't remember where i got it from. It gets a lot of snow cover too and i used to heap leaves around it as well. Never seems to make any difference. Not going to worry about it, though - as long as it comes back and blooms every year! |
- Posted by TanlineTracey (My Page) on Wed, Jul 16, 14 at 23:48
K I've got powder mildew on some plants! Not happy. Two tea roses in pots especially and the one Champlain. Last night I tryed a little tea tree oil on the Tropicana. We will see what happens .... |
Thanks all for the lovely pics.......... :-) |
- Posted by northspruce z3a MB CDA (My Page) on Fri, Jul 25, 14 at 23:30
John Davis is blooming his little butt of right now And Blue Girl is sort of a cheesy old hybrid tea but it does so well for me with complete neglect beside the back lane. |
- Posted by SouthCountryGuy SE BC 4b wannabe 5 (My Page) on Sat, Jul 26, 14 at 10:39
Nice pics! I am still disgusted by the deer. I have nothing, I mean nothing, on that side of the yard. Keep em coming love to see yours SCG |
Finally, my Morden Belle is blooming! Sigh.... last winter was just too tough for this poor lady. Thank goodness she has finally redeemed herself! Wayne, your Double Knockout is lovely! I didn't realize that it would survive in our climate. Did you protect it at all? It looks like it's in a pretty open, unprotected location too. Maybe I should try it again (I used to have a stunning Double Knockout hedge when I was in zone 5). |
It is open to the North/West winds that blow through here, they were covered in snow by late December but saw some nasty cold before that. Morden Sunrise did not survive there but Campfire is doing good, it wants to sprawl. Hopefully it will also become more upright. |

Every year my fig plant (don't know what kind) has a problem where sections turn brown and die. If there is any fruit on these sections, it withers and dies too. Any idea what it is?
Here is a picture:
Thank you,
Here is a link that might be useful: Picture of problem
Follow-Up Postings:
Looks like a SINGLE branch, somehow got suddenly chewed-up (or something?) and died (including leaves). Cheer-up, the rest of your fig-tree looks OK... |
Just prune it off... |
- Posted by wally-1936 Richmond Tx (My Page) on Sat, May 7, 11 at 10:15
Have you checked that branch where the dead starts? We do have what they call a twig girder. They will make a cut around a branch and lay eggs on the branch. If it is you will see the bark removed in a ring where the branch starts to die. I do not know if they are in your area but here in Texas they are well known to many. |

Friends Gather For Vigil In Remembrance of 21-Year-Old
EL PASO, TX — Friends are remembering a 21-year-old who was killed at a party in east El Paso Sunday morning.
Police said 21-year-old Cameron Canada got into a fight outside the party and 24-year-old Samuel Perez stabbed Canada twice in the chest.
Friends gathered at the True Holiness Church in northeast El Paso to trade memories of their friend.
They said Cameron was ready to start a new life in Alaska.
"I bought him a plane ticket three weeks ago and he was suppose to fly to Alaska today," said friend Marcus Mckaige. "Now I'm not so bad but I'm still sad and grieving but I'm moving on because I know Cam wouldn't want us to be crying and sad because that's the type of person he was."
Samuel Perez is charged with Canada's murder.
The family hasn't confirmed funeral arrangements yet.

Throwback Thursday
Recently, my Facebook friends have been posting old photos of themselves on Thursdays with the tag #throwbackthursday or #tbt. Entertaining.
I thought I'd build on the theme and revisit old blog entries on Thursdays. With some current commentary, of course.
First up is the blog post that, for a long time, attracted more visitors to my blog than any other. In fact, you could say it solidified my place in the then-burgeoning knit blogger universe. It was posted on my old, Blogger-hosted blog, which I have maintained but don't use any more.
What, you may ask, was the heady topic of this ancient and influential post? Well, it was the modifications I made to a French Market Bag. Remember the French Market bag? No? Well, it was a viral Knitty.com pattern that was on the needles of every knitter back in the day. I knit several of them, only one of which still resides in my house.
Although the bag that was the subject of the blog post has been long gifted, I fondly remember working out the math to center the handles.
Here's the link to the original blog entry that was written nearly 10 (!) years ago. It's so ancient I can't even link directly to the entry; you have to scroll down a few inches. This link takes you to the converted entry on my new blog. Clearly, not a smooth transition. Also, sadly, the photos of the bag are no longer available. But I think the math is still correct.
My favorite part of the post is the final snarky comment about the high cost of 100g of felting yarn. Hmmmm . . . . 10 years later, $12.00 doesn't seem like so much money for 100g of yarn.
Fun times.

Ha! I remember the French market bag craze! I remember Norma was on a tear with those.
You love a challenge.
It was the felting craze that brought us together. We both felted bags and knit socks. You may have been carrying that bag your first night at SnB.
# Carol Entangled on 06 Mar 2014 at 5:20 pm
I remember the FMB and I remember your mods! I think because of that project I started reading blogs, yours and others. And my bag attracted so many compliments, even from non-knitters. Thanks for reminding me. I like the yellow.

reviews & comments (28)
this was so simple and had great flavor! My snapper fillets were skinless so I dusted them with a bit of flour and pan fried them, adding fresh squeezed lime juice at the very end. I also sauteed the garlic with the 3 tablespoons of olive oil and then it to the cilantro and lime zest. Loved it and a new go-to recipe!
This was delicious! Simple, light, and easy. I heeded the advice of other reviewers and juiced the whole lime in the cilantro mixture. I also sauteed the garlic in olive oil and rubbed it on the fish for cooking-- avoids the raw garlic harshness but keeps the flavor on the fish. Will definitely do this again!
I made a few changes to this recipe and it was a delicious easy everyday meal. I pan seared the snapper and when I flipped it over I added the halved lime (the one I got the zest off of to the pan.) I removed the snapper from the pan and added the garlic, cilantro, zest, lime juice and 1 serrano chile to the pan and cooked for 1 minute. I served the snapper over Jasmine rice and it was delicious! (* beware only use 1/2 of serrano chile if you don't like things to spicy.)
I used lime juice, like some others have recommended, and it was delicious. My kids loved it too.
also, I did squeeze juice of 1/2 a lime into the cilantro, zest, garlic mixture. Great Summer dish!
First of all, that picture is not a picture of THIS recipe, hmmm. This is wonderful and so simple. Don't cook the garlic as some suggested, just mince it very fine, and zest the lime on the finest grater. It is so light and fresh tasting. I served with roasted new potatoes. Yum!

Scientologists settle legal battle

No answers in Scientology case
August 5, 1996
The Church of Scientology International has settled a long-standing legal battle to repossess about 2,000 unpublished and copyrighted documents and keep them from being accessed by computer users in the future.
Under a settlement
reached in a U.S. district court earlier this month, a Colorado-based nonprofit group called FACTNet
is permanently enjoined to pay the church $1 million if FACTNet is found guilty of future violations of church copyrights.
FACTNet, started by former Scientologist Lawrence Wollersheim, also promised to return all unpublished documents as well as copies, notes, summaries, computer disks, and media that contain material about the so-called Advanced Technology of the Scientology religion.
"They have to give back all of our illegally copied materials written by L. Ron Hubbard," said Warren McShane, president of Religious Technology Center (RTC). Religious Technology Center is the legal name of the Scientologist church.
"Most people that are affiliated with FACTNet also were served with the permanent injunctions, so if they use the materials to further infringe on our copyright, they will be held liable," McShane said.
The settlement could curb misuse of the church's copyrighted material, but the RTC continues to be scrutinized by critics on the Net. Cases such as this have been widely observed because they pit copyrights and online free speech against one another.
The case dates back to 1995 when the church, through its nonprofit subsidiary Bridge Publications, won a court order to seize and search FACTNet computers for copyrighted materials based on comments Wollersheim had made online. After reviewing much of the material, Bridge Publications filed claims charging that FACTNet had illegally copied 1,914 church documents.
The court order doesn't prohibit FACTNet from making "fair use" of copyrighted materials. But the defendants could face a heavy fine if they are found to infringe on the church's copyright down the road.
"RTC or BPI may execute and collect upon [the] judgment against FACTNet to the full extent permitted by law, but only if it is determined that FACTNet has committed an act constituting a violation or contempt of the permanent injunction entered contemporaneously," the settlement states.
None of the disputed materials--most of which Wollersheim and his attorneys say were gathered during the course of earlier legal proceeding--have appeared on FACTNet's Web site.
But the Church of Scientology may have had reason to fear that is where the documents were heading. Others have published the church's "members only" material online. Meanwhile, as the Net has grown in popularity, the RTC has stepped up its legal actions against alleged trademark and copyright violators.
"We've gotten great cooperation from the ISPs around the world in taking action against infringements when they come up," McShane added.
However, the subjects of these lawsuits or cease-and-desist letters often counter that the church is using its high-powered lawyers to pressure online service providers into shutting such sites down, and to silence critics who can reach out to millions of people on the Net.
Citing intellectual property infringement, the church threatened
in January 1998 to seek legal recourse against the owner of "scientology-kills.net," which also sells T-shirts bearing the same phrase. The RTC also won a case in a district court in Sweden against Zenon Panoussis, who was ordered to pay the $164,000 for infringing its copyright by distributing confidential records on the Net in 1996.
Those are just a few in the long string of actions taken by the church involving the Internet. The most well-known case against Netcom also was settled in 1996. The church wanted the ISP held liable for alleged copyright infringements on its network.
FACTNet's attorney said the settlement doesn't bar his clients from criticizing the church or threaten their free speech.
"They are enjoined from not breaking the law," said Daniel Leipold, one of several lawyers representing Wollersheim and FACTNet.
"If [Wollersheim] can remember pieces of the material by memory, which he can, he can use them," Leipold added. "He can call them names, he can say anything he wants against them under this agreement. His freedom of speech has not been cut off."
But the FACTNet case does perhaps put to rest one of Scientology's longest-standing digital copyright cases. The case marked the fourth time a Scientology-affiliated organization has sued Wollersheim or FACTNet since his original lawsuit was filed. The court dismissed three earlier claims.
In 1980, FACTNet's founder Wollersheim himself sued the church for damages resulting from his own experience as a member and was awarded $30 million. That sum later was reduced to $2.5 million, which Wollersheim still is fighting to collect.

Acupuncture Offers Short-term Osteoarthritis Relief
But some experts aren't ready to accept it as a recommended treatment
Acupuncture can offer short-term pain relief and improved joint functioning for people with osteoarthritis of the knee, a new study finds.
To date, there is only limited scientific evidence that acupuncture actually works. But many osteoarthritis sufferers are turning to the ancient Chinese treatment as an alternative to pain medications, some of which have recently been linked to increased risk of heart attack and stroke. Some of the most powerful of these drugs, such as Vioxx, have been pulled from the market because of their potential danger.
In this new study, researchers tested the effects of acupuncture on nearly 300 patients with osteoarthritis of the knee, the joint most often affected by the disease.
"Acupuncture treatment had significant and clinically relevant short-term effects," said lead researcher Dr. Claudia Witt, deputy administrative director of the Institute of Social Medicine, Epidemiology, and Health Economics at the Charite University Medical Center in Berlin, Germany.
The findings appear in the July 9 issue of The Lancet.
For the study, 294 patients with chronic osteoarthritis of the knee were randomly selected to receive either acupuncture or simulated acupuncture, while another group was put on a waiting list. This latter group was used as a "control" group so the researchers could accurately measure the effect of the therapy.
Patients were given acupuncture in 12 sessions over eight weeks. Witt's group followed the patients for one year after treatment. "Patients with osteoarthritis of the knee who received acupuncture had significantly less pain and better function after eight weeks than patients who received minimal acupuncture or no acupuncture," Witt said.
"However, after 26 and 52 weeks, exploratory analysis indicated that the differences between acupuncture and minimal acupuncture were no longer significant," she added.
Based on these findings, Witt believes that acupuncture could be an effective alternative to other treatments for osteoarthritis. "Patients who suffer from chronic pain due to osteoarthritis of the knee could try acupuncture treatment to reduce pain and stiffness and improve physical function," she advised.
One expert isn't surprised that the effect of acupuncture doesn't last.
"To expect the effect to last for 26 or 52 weeks is unreasonable," said Dr. Daniel E. Furst, the Carl M. Pearson professor of medicine and director of the Rheumatology Clinical Research Center at the University of California, Los Angeles. "It blows my little mind that they expected it to last for 52 weeks."
Furst believes that continued acupuncture is probably needed to maintain the positive results the researchers initially found. "It appears to me that there is a place for treating the pain of osteoarthritis of the knee with acupuncture," he said.
But he also thinks other studies are needed to corroborate these findings before the benefit of acupuncture can be proven. "I'd like to see the result repeated," Furst said. "As it is, I am a moderately happy camper. I am moderately optimistic that it might be true."
Other experts remain more skeptical of acupuncture's benefits, however.
"We are still some way short of having conclusive evidence that acupuncture is beneficial in arthritis or in any other condition, other than in a statistical or artificial way," Drs. Andrew Moore and Henry McQuay from Pain Research, at the University of Oxford, England, wrote in an accompanying editorial in the journal. "There is limited evidence of effect and, with exceptions, of cost-effectiveness. Most importantly, the need for needles is still in doubt," they concluded.
