Another taxi, another departure
I've just finished watching tonight's episodes and I have to say, I was more upset watching Anna and Eddie split up than I expected. Watching them, watching Gary's upset and Anna's and Eddie's tears, I could feel a suspicious dampness in my eye region myself and was really sorry to see him ride away in the cab. As sad as I was to see Liz go, I wasn't swallowing hard. That's probably because Bev Callard has been absent more than she'd been on screen over the past year or two and her return and leaving storyline was kind of naff really.
Eddie's leaving storyline was also somewhat abbreviated but it made more sense. He only went along with the adoption for Anna's sake, not really expecting it to happen and got backed into a corner when it did. Because Faye was not an easy child to settle in, he found it overwhelming. He had the chance at a fresh start but Anna wouldn't go with him and that was it. She loves him but not enough to marry him, something he's wanted for awhile but only started asking her after it was too late. She's found the courage to be alone where she never had it before.
It's a very sad breakup because you know they both still love each other but want very different things out of life as they approach middle age. As others have said, Steve Huison turned Eddie from a stereotype ignoramus into an ignormamus we all adore, one with layers and a big heart under all that hair and string vest. We'll all miss him here at Blog Towers and wish Steve the best of luck.
Keep in touch with @SteveHuison on Twitter. If you pass him on the street, remember, he looks like this now.

I admire your indefatigable positivity, but Eddie Windass' departure just showed how wrong Collinson was to get rid of him. His departure was moving because he can act. It is beyond me why he is axed, when the likes of Dev "Mr Plank of Wood" Alahan and Nick "Too Old and Two Expressions" Tilsley remain.
His departure was also absolutely ridiculous. People walk into the minefield of taking on stepchildren for love. Are we seriously meant to believe that Eddy would walk out on a happy relationship, and away from existing son, because he might have to play Dad to one girl for 4 or 5 years? - 26 April 2011 at 01:26
Got a little lump in my throat reading this blog post! Great episode, great review; Eddie and Steve Huison will be missed,
- 26 April 2011 at 07:40
I totally agree with "Anonymous" above. I think most of us absolutely hated the Windasses when they first arrived (particularly Eddie), but the actors sterling work slowly made people like me warm to him, and the partnership of Eddie and Anna was very special indeed. Yet Dev Alahan, possibly the worst actor in the entire 50 years of the programme goes on and on and on. I was thrilled when Phil Collinson was first announced as the new producer, as he'd done such sterling work on Doctor Who, but now I can't wait for him to leave, as he seems to make one bad decision after another.

I know, it's just not fair that someone like Steve Huison is made to leave and we have to suffer the likes of Tracy Barlow.

It won't be the same without him, I love him!
- 26 April 2011 at 11:03
I too think he was great on the show, everyone seems to like him, so why did they get rid of him. He will be missed and it won't be the same without him. Maybe they can have him come back?????
- 26 April 2011 at 14:52
Makes you wonder if Phil Collinson has inhaled too many toxic fumes from all the black cab departures lately, though maybe they are paving the way for Anna to have a relationship with another street resident...Bill? Her and Eddie were never married so no obstacle there. Lame storyline for Eddie's departure and it won't be the same without him. I would have loved the exchanges between him and Sylvie.....sigh. K

Am I the only one who won't miss Eddie? He's been barely used for months. Since he was defanged shortly after arrival - making him get a job and stop scrounging, getting rid of his walking stick, getting rid of his dodgy schemes - he's just been a bit of a slimeball. It's become increasingly unlikely that he and Anna would be together.

Bully tg Chapter 2 (story)David took a deep breath and stepped onto the bus. This was the third bus he had gotten on since leaving that afternoon, but this one was different because it would be a six hour ride all the way through the night. He was a little nervous from leaving home, but David knew he couldn't be around Karl now that he was a girl or else he would probably do something he would regret. It was bad enough to be attracted to your own sibling, but it was worse that his personality completely changed. It was almost like Karl died and he was replaced by another person.David thought back to their hiking trip and that strange cave that they found. The crystal that exploded in his face must have been the cause for the transformation, but it confused him why it affected Karl and not him. He planned to go back to the cave later on to see if he could find any clues, but for now, he just wanted to get away from home to think things over and r
Going to the Beach tg (story)"So, why would I even consider doing that?" Richard said a little frustrated."Oh, c'mon," Alexis said pouting, "You promised to spend the whole day with me. It'll be fun.""Maybe fun it's for you, but definitely not fun for me."Richard had recently started going out with Alexis. It had been the most enjoyable time he could remember. She was the most attractive person he knew and she had a carefree attitude. However, as they spent time together, Richard realized Alexis could be really strange at times. She would often mumble to herself and talk to animals. Also, she always wanted to do random things, like go hiking in the middle of the night or sneaking into random places, like museums or schools. Richard realized he really like that part about her; she always kept things exciting.Richard stared at her, trying desperately to hold his position, but he could feel his resolve slipping away as she started at him
Locker Room TG EpilogueIt had been a few weeks since Josh and Taylor were TG'ed in their schools locker room. They were having a good time hanging out and shopping with there new friend they made Sarah. She met them as soon as they left the locker room. They were all besties and took plenty of pictures together. They were at Sarah's house because she had something to tell the two."I guess your wondering why I called you here?" She said."Yep." They both nodded."Well its been fun hanging out with you two over these last few weeks." She began being stopped by Taylor."Is something wrong? You seem as if your going somewhere." Taylor had a worried look on her face."Yeah, is something wrong?" Jessie asked.".......No its nothing." Sarah said, although she was lying. "Crap, I have grown so close to them I don't want to change them back but I guess I have too." She sighed. "I'll be right back." Sarah said walking out the room."She seems down."

"But when I think about it I have a friend who is asking for waiters at his mansion."At first I was disappointed but when the word mansion came up I became ecstatic. He gave me his card, looking over it I saw that his mansion was very near my house. "Ok then I'll talk to him. Thanks."The next day...I knocked on the door of the mansion and a butler came to the door. "Welcome to the Jordan Estates. Can I help you?""Um, yeah I would like to apply for the waiter job?" I asked."Alright then, I will take you to my master." he answered..."You must be Alex, don't be alarmed. My friend over at the restaurant you applied for told me you would be coming by.

Hey everyone, if you missed the first part of this series, you can read that here. I know I said I was going to post this followup next week, but I'm an impatient bastard, so here it is now. These are webcomics I personally read, and feel deserve wider audiences. They are numbered, but meaninglessly. The stuff I like about each of them is varied enough that ranking them seemed impractical. Also, I may have forgotten how to count.
5. Kyria
Kyria is a BEAUTIFUL comic. The attention to detail, and the ability to create masterfully rendered backgrounds with expert use of color really makes Kyria stand out in a landscape saturated with fantasy RPG-inspired comics. It also helps that the characters are fun, well-written and well designed. This is a comic I found myself liking a lot, despite admittedly not usually being a fan of the genre. It transcends the genre with how well-executed it is, and I urge you to give it a try. In fact, its whimsical nature reminds me a bit of movies like WILLOW, rather than games like Final Fantasy, although that's unmistakably in there as well. I eagerly want more from author/artist and mysterious person Aero Zero, who maintains a Patreon page for Kyria.
Fantastic Crap by Chris Ochs is one of the funniest comics I know of. Very few comics have actually gotten a real physical laugh out of me, as opposed to a smile or a chortle. This comic makes me laugh. It's something along the lines of Sam & Max in tone and irreverence, and is also hand drawn with traditional media. It follows the adventures of a private detective who also happens to be a giant squid, and is just brilliant stuff. Chris has a PayPal donation button right on his main page.
3.14. Ensanguine
Ensanguine is a comic I only very recently discovered and is why I may or may not have shoehorned it into this article I'd written awhile ago. In any case, Grace Mulcahy is producing a top-notch piece of science fiction. The plot centers around a red guy named, uh, Guy with magical healing blood that may be the key to everlasting life/man's continued existence, etc. The art is phenomenal and while I've only just started reading through, the story is captivating enough to keep me going back for more. Grace operates a Patreon page for Ensanguine and apparently spends 30 hours a week working on it. Show her a little love if you can.
3. Super Bitch
Superbitch is a comic I like for several reasons: its sense of humor is similar to mine, it's well drawn, and it features a protagonist who is, well, a bit of a misanthrope. I've described it on Twitter as being like BMP's spiritual sister, albeit, an angry hungover sister. It also successfully swaps between arc based narratives and gag-a-day style, which is something I really want to try with my own comic. Artist/writer Kennedy Cooke-Garza is on hiatus with Superbitch at the moment, but that just means that right now's a great time to catch up on the archives. She also operates a Paypal account you can donate to right on the front page.
The Demon Archives is written by Daniel Sharp (Twitter, here) and illustrated by several artists, but mostly Sebastian Piriz. It's a grand sweeping epic science fiction story set in a post-apocalyptic society that relies heavily on technology and armored military personnel. Where it shines is the interesting and subtle backstory that Dan has infused it with so that it doesn't feel like another cliched Mad Max clone. There's some very cool artwork going into this, and it doesn't feel like someone's hobby, it feels like a graphic novel. The Demon Archives has a Patreon Page.
1. Zukahnaut
I've written, tweeted and extolled the virtues of this comic before, but you really need to check it out if you haven't. Zukahnaut is about the adventures of a big, green halien (the 'h' is silent) and his journey from broken anti-social weirdo to less broken anti-social weirdo with friends. Zukah himself is meant to be repulsive but he's almost instantly likable, which in terms of writing, is kind of an accomplishment right there. (You guys all know I have a thing for writing characters like that, right?) This comic is written and illustrated by a talented pair of creators, Otty Justason and Sonya Somers. This is not just one of my favorite webcomics, it's up there as one of my favorite comics, period. Zukahnaut has a Patreon page. The big guy himself is also on Twitter.
I hope that spotlighting a few of my favorite comics out there will at least, if nothing else, give you guys some other awesome stuff to check out, but also, please, seriously consider throwing these guys a little scratch. Or sharing them with some more of your buds. Or following them on your social media of choice. You know. A little love. And then when you're done, cough cough, maybe check out BMP's Patreon.

Trader John Santiago works on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange Monday, July 29, 2013.
NEW YORK — A blistering July rally on the stock market appears to be fading.
Stocks edged lower Monday as investors waited for a series of major economic reports due out this week. A string of big-name merger deals wasn't enough to push indexes higher.
On Wednesday the government will report its first estimate of U.S. economic growth for the second quarter, and on Friday it will publish its monthly jobs survey.
Both reports will give investors a better idea about the strength of the economy and what's next for the Federal Reserve's stimulus program. Investors will hear from the Fed on Wednesday after the central bank winds up a two-day policy meeting. The Fed's stimulus has been a major factor supporting a four-year rally in stocks.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index dropped 6.32 points, or 0.4 percent, to 1,685.33.
Seven of the 10 sectors in the index fell. The declines were led by energy companies and banks.
The benchmark index is still up 4.9 percent in July, and the S&P 500 is on track to have its best month since January. The index jumped this month, climbing to an all-time high July 22, after Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke assured investors that the Fed wouldn't cut its stimulus before the economy was ready. The central bank is buying $85 billion a month to help keep interest rates low and encourage borrowing and hiring.
Stocks may struggle to add to their gains, given that expectations for the economy remain modest, said Scott Wren, a senior equity strategist at Wells Fargo Advisors.
The U.S. economy is forecast to have grown just 0.5 percent in the second quarter, according to data provider FactSet. That would be slower than the 1.8 percent annual rate the economy expanded at in the first three months of the year.
"I don't think you're going to see the market sustain much higher levels than this," said Wren. "All this data is going to show that we are slowly improving, but it's a slow process and there's not much to get excited about."
A trio of corporate deals caught investors' attention Monday but failed to ignite the broader market.
Saks jumped after Canadian retailer Hudson's Bay, the parent company of Lord & Taylor, agreed to buy the luxury store operator for $2.4 billion, or $16 a share. Saks rose 64 cents, or 4.2 percent, to $15.95.
Interpublic Group, a big advertising company, gained after Omnicom Group, another big advertiser, agreed to combine with France's Publicis Groupe to create the world's largest advertising company. Interpublic rose 74 cents, or 4.7 percent, to $16.61.
The stock closed higher even after Interpublic CEO Michael Roth said that he saw no need for a major merger to keep the company moving forward.
Omnicom jumped in early trading, climbing as high as $70.50, but ended the day down 45 cents, or 0.6 percent, at $64.75.
Perrigo also featured in the mergers and acquisitions news. The drugmaker agreed to buy Ireland's Elan for $8.6 billion. Perrigo fell $9.06, or 6.7 percent, to $125.17.
The deals should be positive for the stock market in the long run, and should be followed by more merger activity, said Dan Veru, chief investment officer at Palisade Capital Management. Companies are sitting on record cash balances and borrowing costs, though rising, are still close to record lows.
"Companies are struggling to grow organically," said Veru. "So, how do they grow? They grow by buying other businesses."

I just had to get on here and try and say one thing. OZZY RULES!!! I whent to the pepsi center and if any one should be critisized it should be the pepsi center for not allowing enofe room to have in between there chairs.

All "Random," But there has to be a Yi.
So, am I the only one experiencing either a Master Yi, a Nidalee, or a Blitzcrank in every game ARAM game? It would be completely alright if those champs were balanced for something like this.
I'm starting to dislike this game mode because of it. These champions need something done to them, rebalancing for this or something. Or... How about a ban list? If we simply ban these over powered champions from this mode, I feel that would be just fine too. OR... How about Riot fix their ARAM algorithm. And by that I mean this; The method they use to determine which champion is randomly selected from the respected summoner's pool. I queued up in an ARAM and we had someone dodge 4 times. Twice in a row I got Zilean, and twice in a row someone else got Ziggs. This is a little ridiculous. OOOOOOOR.... Penalties for dodgers. Have you ever been in a queue and people dodge 10 times? I have. The game finally instantly started during the 11th queue. There's a lot that could be done to this mode...hm.. What're your thoughts? |
^penalties for dodger would make this mode so much better,
btw i never dodged a single aram and nobody should, the point of random is to use whatever u get. if u gonna dodge go play some normal and use ur fav champ |
I've dodged a few because I've been so tired of seeing the same broken champion in the freaking queue. But I do agree, it's called ARAM for a reason and you shouldn't just try to get that one either broken person or your main. I main Karma and I've gotten her like..twice in ARAM. Those few times were special. But hey, I guess other people play to win.
I don't care if I win or lose, but I do feel everyone has the right to an even and FAIR game. |
This is why I want a banning mode for custom games.
But still keep the random aspect. Check my topic in this forum for that if you wana support it. |
I only dodge if I a friend connects, else I wont, doesnt matter if I get the champ I dont know how to play, because thats the idea of Random :D
^ I agree with that, even if I don't get a champ I know how to play, (I have like 10 champs I never like playing, plus the free to play list of the week) I still play, or try to trade. That doesn't bother me. But like I said, what bothers me is seeing the same champion queue after queue. :/
Something really needs to get done but I don't know if something in this forum would even make it to Riot's eyes. :/ What else do you guys think should happen to our beloved ARAM? |
Don't forget Nidalee.
Dont for get about the unstoppable Katrina
I've noticed Free Week champions appearing most often. Does that list have a higher priority or something?
Can never forget Nidalee or Katarina :/ Katarina is a bit of a different story though. A terrible Katarina can be shut down quickly. But Yi just presses R then Q and wins.
Vinta, I've noticed that too, for instance, I played an ARAM a few minutes ago and out of the 58+ champions I own, I got Viktor. I wonder if the Free To Play list is prioritized to give players an equal chance in the ARAM.. That sounds like a probable reason for that. |

Not really sure what your precise interests are -- simply navigation, or sightseeing, provisioning, repairs, etc.
That said, here's a little info towards your question:
Cumberland Island has a good anchorage. The main channel has lots of depth, and is well maintained to support the transit of submarines up to Kings Bay. Watch your depth as you ease East into Cumberland Sound out of the main channel into leading up to the sub base. There's a shoal that extends from the North that could cause you grief. Cumberland Island itself is very scenic, but short on amenities.
Best advice is to not try Jekyll -- St Andrews Sound is not all that well marked, and once inside you really can't go far. Jekyll Creek is very shallow and prone to shoaling, so making a short run up the ICW to St Simons isn't an option given your draft.
St Simon's has a long, deep entrance channel. Few anchorages once inside, but there are a couple of good marinas. Brunswick Landing has good facilities, good rates, is very protected, and is in a better location if you don't have wheels. Golden Isles is a little closer to the ocean, but is a little isolated.

text: Hmmm....what's Cydney Payton up to? She's bashing the person who provided the land for the MCA Denver (who just coincidentally happens to be the same person who fired her); She's calling Michael Paglia the best arts and architecture critic in the history of Colorado when that is clearly laughable- the guy published a book that required the subject matter to BUY PAGES (artists who don't have any money to begin with) and conveniently overlooks Mary Chandler (by the way, his partner in that embarrassment of a "book") and Kyle MacMillan, who was the only arts critic in Denver who actually had the integrity to review art honestly and fairly (meaning not because he was friends or "frenemies" with the artists, which is the game that Paglia plays); and she totally dismisses Adam Lerner, the current director of the MCA and his wild popularity in Denver. It's something Cydney was incapable of achieving herself and now that she's been away from Denver for so long, she's apparently afraid that everyone has forgotten about her, which they have. Please Cydney- get a life. The arts in Denver are much better off without your special brand of histrionics and phoniness. You don't have a job in San Fran and you're definitely not going to get your old one in Denver back. Move on!

Sep 12th 2010 10:11PM In a kind of twisted fashion though, one can understand those gnomes that join the old god cults that are spread around the world though. The old gods disrupted the titans plans for order in the universe, but gave the gift of emotion and free will to the gnomes. hmmmmmm .... Definitely some RP opportunities here for people that want to start RP cults in hidden corners of alliance cities ...
Scattered Shots: New beta build for happy hunters {WoW}
Aug 2nd 2010 12:31PM The tooltip for the base spell says 16%, but it actually should be 20% because the talent ( http://www.wowhead.com/spell=29193 ) that makes it 20 will be baked in... Looking at that tooltip it actually only says melee instead of physical too...
Scattered Shots: New beta build for happy hunters {WoW}
Aug 2nd 2010 12:26PM I'm pretty sure what GC was trying to say is that they are giving hunters the Windfury Totem http://www.wowhead.com/spell=8512 buff. It's not a new buff, they are just giving it to hunters too. That buff has nothing to do with ammo pouches. It's all about helping other classes to feel as important as Shamans.
The Art of War(craft): Gearing up for PvP {WoW}
Jul 20th 2009 9:20AM Actually I play with my laptop on an icepack too. On rotation. Every hour. (It so happens I use a macbook…)
In terms of graphics settings I turn everything to the lowest setting EXCEPT particle density and projected textures. These two settings are absolutely essential for raiding. Mimiron rockets without particle density are just a rune on the ground. With particle density there's a giant red beam over the rune. With projected textures you can see runes where icicles will fall when fighting Hodir. Without you just die without warning to falling ice. The difference in cloud edge visibility in phase one of Yogg-saron depending on particle density is the difference between getting loot or getting the boot after you wipe the raid enough times.
Spiritual Guidance: Healing Mimiron {WoW}
Jun 1st 2009 1:00AM Perspective of a resto shaman:
Phase one: Earth Shield on tank, remember to swap when tanks trade. Riptide, LHW, LHW those napalm targets. Keep that tidal waves buff coming. Watch for Plasma blast by selecting the boss as target or focus so you can see the cast bar. I use Power Auras to give me a nice big notification instead of relying on vent/raidwarnings. P1 is easy on your mana pool because of the water shield procs you get with single target style healing. I recommend equipping totem of the plains or totem of the third wind (if you have it) during this phase. Totems down: standard caster buffs/stoneskin.
Phase two: in tens I have all the ranged/heals move up to the golden edge and spread in a circle around it. By having ranged move up close they have an easier time avoiding pew pew lasers and aoe heals (not just ours, but druids' and priests' as well) jump to everyone. Haven't tried this in 25s but the principle should be similar. Bloodlust will probably be used to get through this phase as fast as possible. Again, watch for "spinning up" cast bar or use power auras to notify. Also rockets are much more visible with higher particle detail video settings (without they just show a rune, with they have a red beam of light coming down on the rune). Heavy mana use: equip totem of forest growth. Totems down: make sure there's a fire resist totem or aura active.
Phase three: (10s specific) We have our entire raid stack except the MT. MT uses spell reflect and their throw ability to tank the head, and also swallows up the bomb bot blasts. OT tanks assault bots in 10s. One melee dps is responsible for grounding the head and collecting trash bots. Done correctly there is very little damage and one healer can help dps. All healers should end this phase with full mana. No special relic or totems required.
Phase four: Relic: Totem of forest growth. Ranged/heals spreads out in a one-third arc of the room. Once all sections are ready to drop, put down fire elemental totem to help with the required dps burst on all sections.
[1.Local]: Pondering the evolution of mechanics and classes {WoW}
Mar 8th 2009 7:44AM Everyone should have 1 hour hearthstones. That makes one of the most compelling arguments for casual players rolling a shammy there is (15 minute cooldown on Astral Recall not shared with hearth). If Heathstone CD is getting buffed, replace my sentry totem with an astral anchor totem I can jump back to at will as long as I use it within 5 minutes without dropping another totem of the same element and stay within the same zone/bg/instance (dropping flags obviously).
Lichborne: On Dual Specs for Death Knights {WoW}
Feb 16th 2009 6:14PM I suck as a tank, and while pvp is much more fun now than it was in the past I prefer pve most of the time. I'm thinking more along the lines of playing out some different playstyles to change things up. My current spec is pretty much a cookie cutter unholy dps spec; I think I'll use my second spec for trying out diseaseless blood or a duel wield. This will keep things interesting as I try out different playstyles, and in some cases let me pick up talents that would make me work better in some fights than others.

It seems that Ohio woman Brittany Rager had the misfortune of being John Gulley's newest romantic interest. Unfortunately for her, he didn't break up with Sheena Moore beforehand. Given what happened though, it is unlikely that breaking up with Moore would have made a difference.
Rager, 27, a good friend of Moore, 24, told her that she had received a few sexually explicit texts from Gulley, 31, but was confident in her friendship with Moore, "She was my right-hand girl. She was always a little too quick to fight, but she always had my back and was a good friend," Rager reportedly said.
So when Rager was invited to Moore's trailer home to talk about the situation, she never expected what happened next. On entering she was assaulted by Moore's 450-pound father Gerald Moore with a cane, while Moore and Gulley punched and kicked her. They held her down and first tried to break her fingers, then tried to cut them off with pruning shears. Their goal was to end her career as a tattoo artist. As she begged for mercy, Moore reportedly said, "This all could have been avoided if I had just not told her that her boyfriend was cheating on her."
She continued to struggle as Gerald Moore told her she wasn't going to make it out alive. Luckily for Rager, one of her kicks knocked the huge man down long enough for her to escape, but not before Gulley hit her in the head with the shears.
Rager, who suffered a laceration to the head, a concussion and a fractured skull, says she wakes up screaming, reliving her ordeal, which she says "was like being in a Saw movie."
Once Rager fled, the family called 911 and reported her as an attempted robber. Police sorted out the situation pretty quickly and arrested the trio, who all had priors. They are each charged with felony kidnapping and felony assault, and are each facing up to 19 years in prison if convicted.

So with all these record setting temps and droughts, which varieties do you know of, or have growing this year that sets fruit well in high temps? Likewise, which tomato varieties are having trouble setting fruit this year for everyone? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Are there ANY slicing tomato varieties that will take the high temps we have seen over the past week? We saw 100, 105, 106,106, 97 and today is supposed to be 98 but have to add misery with a heat index because the humidity is back. I know Cherokee Red and Jet Star can't handle it. Mine were full of fruit, much of which I had to discard this morning because of severe sun bun or sun scald (I didn't know that could even happen to tomatoes), and the Cherokee Reds that were almost ripe enough to pick appear to have cooked on the vines. I planted grape tomato seeds from Victory Seeds this year. They seem happy enough in the heat so far and have fresh blossoms on them. No damage to the fruit that I can see. Lycopersicon esculentum "Red Grape" They are very tasty also. |

Opal its hot here in the midwest also. I've got a few plants that are still putting on some fruit despite the 100 degree heat for the last 8 days. My branywine red,eva purple ball, neves azerian and my friends gary osena are still setting fruit. Not alot but a couple on each truss. I hope this helps ps. Most cherrys type do well in the heat. My sungold, black cherry and purple haze keep setting fruit like it is spring outside. |

There are different aspects to heat tolerance: pollen dessication and setting of fruit, sun scald, not getting blossom end rot, and having strong roots that will drive deep into the ground all come to mind. I wonder if all of those traits are represented by different genes, which is why it is hard to find a tomato with all of them. |
None of those "traits" (with the exception of some varieties being more susceptible to BER) on their own are really gene related. Heat tolerance can be gene related, but growing conditions, weather, soil, etc. also can help the tolerance or cancel it out. |
- Posted by euarto_gullible 5 (My Page) on Wed, Jul 4, 12 at 19:12
The two varieties I've seen that seem to handle the brutal heat and heavy direct sunlight better than others are Super Sioux and Cold Set. You can help any varieties through the heat though, by not pruning the suckers, using a light colored mulch (grass clippings are great) that doesn't absorb as much sunlight, and considering a shade screen. |
I'm not a great tomato grower, but here in MD we've had those 100+ deg temps and I would agree with the previous poster, my Sungold plant is still going crazy with fruit! On the flip side, my Better Boys are suffering. They've been trying to ripen a handful of fruit for well over a week. I haven't gotten any ripe fruit off those plants yet this season! |
I'm in my 2nd year of ridiculous heat during tomato growing season. Last year only about 25% of my tomatoes produced any fruit. It was super-hot all summer, and we had a hailstorm that stripped all my plants of tomatoes, and most leaves in the middle of August. My best producers were cherries, and other round tomatoes, including Prue, Burgundy Traveler, and Thessaloniki. I grow mostly beef-steak tomatoes. Black ones did fairly well after the hail. Mule Team was the only red beef-steak to produce well. No yellow beef-steak produced a tomato. This year, the only usable tomatoes so far are from container tomatoes I started early in my greenhouse that I moved outside about our normal planting time. Of those planted in garden soil, only a few cherries and a Prue tomato have set on fruit. |

Dufy, Raoul
Dufy, Raoul
biographical name(born June 3, 1877, Le Havre, Fr.died March 23, 1953, Forcalquier) French painter and designer. In 1900 he studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and experimented with Impressionism, but by 1904 he had adopted the flat areas of bright colour typical of Fauvism. In the early 1920s he developed a distinctive style characterized by rapid calligraphic drawing on backgrounds of bright, decorative colour; his subjects were usually recreational scenes such as horse races, parades, and concerts. He also designed textiles and made numerous book illustrations.

Actually, just a couple days ago I was presented with a situation where I had to consider it. I was in 7-11 getting a tobacco product and, as it is their policy to ID everyone that looks under 30 now, and I certainly look under 30, they asked for my ID. I said no problem and went to grab my license only to find it wasn't there - I had forgotten to take it home the night before when leaving a pool hall that held your license as collateral for their pool balls. The ONLY other photo ID I had that had both my name, picture, and date of birth on it was my CCW. I left.
Not only was I carrying at the time, but I had at least 3 people behind me in line, none of whom I wanted to advertise infront of, let alone the cashier.
It just seems to me nothing good can come of using your CWP as an ID.
No. It negates the purpose of concealed carry
MN has no picture. Actually, it looks like something you could make at Kinkos in about 15 minutes. It's surprising they didn't try to make it more official looking/harder to fake.
Not intentionally.
the NM permit looks very similar to the DL.
It aroused too much curiousity one time when I had to buy some sudafed in Wisconsin. (which does not have any legal CC)
I keep my NM license in a different wallet, now.
My stepdaughter recently got her CC permit and she put it behind her DL. When she was preparing to board a plane to visit us, they asked for 2 forms of ID and she promptly pulled out her DL and her picture CCWP. That's when TSHTF. They pulled her off to the side and got a female cop to pat her down. My stepdaughter said it was more like rape. They nearly made her miss the flight. Moral of the story, don't use a CCW permit as a form of ID unless its after you've used your concealed weapon.

It's not like we didn't see this coming. Two years ago I said that HMV's management was no longer working for shareholders, but the banks. And I said it would be a good idea to short the stock. It certainly was.
But that's enough gloating. Today I want to show you the real reason for HMV's demise.
And I think there's a very important lesson to be learned here. Because there are hundreds of quoted companies on the stock exchange walking the same path. Staving off insolvency on the one hand and promising shareholders everything is fine and dandy on the other. Oh, and how about a little bonus too… In short, this really should be a wake-up call for investors.
The media pundits have given their reasons for HMV's collapse – and pretty obvious they are. But changing consumer habits needn't have led to HMV's crack up – and certainly not so soon.
HMV is a lesson in how not to manage a business in an industry facing change.
In fact, only last week, I flagged Enterprise Inns as a business in an industry similarly devastated by change. And yet my Enterprise bonds have done fantastically well, and as for the shares… well, they're up over 300% in the last year.
Let's look at what really went wrong with HMV. Because I can tell you, the root cause runs far deeper than the superficial musings of the media. I mean, did you know that in 2006, management turned down a bid offering shareholders £762m (£1.90 a share!) for the company?
Management said it was an insufficient valuation for the company. And then they went on to destroy the whole darned thing…
What were they thinking?
The wise guys saw the writing on the wall for HMV as early as the nineties. Back then EMI, the owner, hived it off into a separate business. By 1998, the company was dumped on an unsuspecting public in a public flotation.
We've seen this trick hundreds of times. Woolworths and Comet were spun out of Kingfisher group and Kesa (respectively), allowing the stronger group to survive. Think about our once famous car industry too. The stronger marques like Jaguar, Land Rover and Mini were agglomerated into successful foreign enterprises… the rubbish ended up in Rover group and bankrupted by inept management.
During the mid-noughties, Richard Branson's Virgin group sold the UK megastores business and they were rebranded under the banner Zavvi.
What I'm saying is that the music retail business was recognised as a bad one way back when. And in many ways, the industry was restructuring all by itself. Record stores (I still call them that!) were going bust left, right and centre.
Now, rather than welcome what economist Joseph Schumpeter terms "creative destruction", HMV management fought it. Remember those stores that Branson had dumped and were now labelled Zavvi – well, Zavvi folded on Christmas Eve 2008. Now, guess who decided to pick up nearly half the stores? HMV of course!
They bought stores from failed music chain Fopp too.
But for these guys it clearly wasn't sufficient to double down on music retailing. Oh no… in 2006, HMV bought failing bookstore group Ottakars and merged it with its own Waterstones. Of course, you don't need me to tell you that the book industry was soon to follow the record industry into creative destruction!
What were these guys thinking? Where others feared to tread, they boldly flashed shareholder cash. And as they did, the shares fell from over £2.50 to nearer £1.50. By 2006, private equity group Permeira offered shareholders a get-out card. They offered £1.90 a share. But management said "take a hike!"
From there, HMV headed into even more muddled acquisitions. And more pain for shareholders.
Getting away with murder
Having finally caught on to the plight of the book and music retailing industry, management decided to take bold action. By the end of 2009, HMV bought MAMA group in a deal worth £46m. MAMA manages music artists and live events. It owns plenty of fantastic venues and bars in central London too.
So, HMV changed tack. Of course it all led to more costs and more management time absorbed with the new non-core businesses.
Management forgot what business they were in. And I don't mean the music retailing business. I mean the business of gradually running down retail units and adapting the business model to the new times. Yes, I know they tried. But frankly their web presence wasn't nearly good enough. And they were too late in following competitors that were selling out of tax-free zones.
In the end, it was a mad scramble to introduce t-shirts, calendars, electronics, etc to their stores. It was, of course, too little, too late. By now, they'd built up mountains of debt.
Frankly, the private equity guys couldn't have done much worse with HMV than the management did… and they offered what now looks like an incredibly generous £762m for the business.
Now, had HMV folded under private equity ownership, you can be sure the media would have had the knives out for the private equity boys.
But when it comes to the stock market, management can get away with murder. So beware!
What do we learn from this?
Far too many investors run shy of industries in decline. But we have to remember, it's not the plight of the industry that matters, but how management deals with creative destruction.
Because destruction clears the path for new growth. I've banged the drum for Supergroup, a clothes retailer that's found the sweet spot between bricks and clicks. Now, if I had a quid for everyone that's told me they wouldn't touch any stock in the retail sector…
I've also talked about Enterprise Inns – the UK's largest pub landlord – another industry in decline. But to deliver fantastic shareholder value, all it's done is to gradually trim its pub portfolio and manage the debt position.
So let me leave you with today's take away. It's a business lesson that comes from way back in the old days when record shops were as popular on the high street as a bookie is today. It's from the band (and business guru) Bananarama…
"It ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it. And that's what gets results."

Clifford Brown hates lies. As a child, if he fudged the truth even a little, his dad would somehow know, and Clifford would feel the blush of shame heating his cheeks. His dad once showed him what it's like to be the person on the other end of a lie by purposely deceiving him. Clifford can't recall the substance of that deceit now, but he remembers how it felt, and he grew up sharing his father's disdain for lying. So when one of Clifford's foster daughters told a very serious lie about him, it was the worst thing anyone could have done to him.
Brown and his wife, Susan, became foster parents more than five years ago. Clifford had a daughter from a previous marriage, but he and Susan didn't have any children of their own. After Clifford's daughter, Misty, graduated from the University of Northern Colorado, she got involved with Boys Hope Girls Hope, a nonprofit organization that runs group homes for troubled kids across the country. Misty signed on as a housemother at a boys' home in New York, and the Browns were inspired by her desire to help young people. Plus, with Misty no longer there, the Browns' six-bedroom Colorado Springs home felt empty. A good friend of theirs was a foster parent, so the Browns thought that might be a way for them to help kids. Their friend put them in touch with the now-defunct Colorado Springs branch of the Jacob Center, a child-placement agency, and the Browns took in their first foster daughter in January 1996.
The couple was told that there weren't enough foster parents willing to take troubled teenage girls, so even though they had originally wanted young children, they agreed to foster older kids. And because the placement agency had a policy of not mixing boys and girls, the Browns never had any boys in their home. They usually had four girls at a time, some of whom stayed for only a couple of weeks before being reunited with their families; others remained in the Brown home for more than a year. They had fifteen foster daughters in all.
Clifford and Susan came to love many of the girls as their own. And most of the girls regarded the Browns as their parents; although they addressed them as Cliff and Sue, the girls would introduce them to friends and teachers as Mom and Dad. For many of the girls, it was their first time living in a two-parent home. It was also the first time they'd known stability or been forced to abide by rules.
Sunday is family day in the Brown household, and the Browns liked to take their foster daughters on excursions to the Garden of the Gods or the skating rink or a movie. But one of their rules was that no one left until all of the girls had completed their chores. It wasn't easy dealing with teens who came to their home with troubled pasts that involved sexual abuse or drug and alcohol addictions, but Clifford and Susan believe that kids fare best if they're allowed to make mistakes rather than simply being told what to do.
"Instead of telling them not to drink, I'd tell them that when they go to a party, see how ugly others look when they're drunk," Clifford says. "They'd come home and tell me that what I'd said was true."
"For them to even go out was a major process," Susan says. The Browns had to get permission from the Jacob Center before the girls could go to parties, and the placement agency had to conduct background checks on other kids' parents if the girls were going to sleep at friends' houses.
The Browns also believe that kids learn by example. Although they enjoy a drink of whiskey and a cigarette now and then, they say they never drank or smoked when they had girls in their home. And as devout Christians, they tried to show the girls how faith could help them cope in times of trouble. They credit themselves with helping several of their foster daughters get off drugs and with getting many of them to abstain from sex. In addition, Clifford passed along another of his deeply held values to the girls: the importance of education. While living under his roof, the girls had to stay in school and do their homework; three of them went on to attend community college.
Because of their success with troubled girls, Susan, a real estate broker, and Clifford, who owns a property-maintenance business, say they earned a reputation as one of the best sets of foster parents in El Paso County. Guardians ad litem -- attorneys who are appointed by the court to represent children in child abuse and neglect cases -- would specifically request the Browns when they needed to find homes for girls.
All of that changed after thirteen-year-old Carol came to live with them.
Clifford and Susan didn't know much about Carol before she first arrived except that she'd been sexually abused by her father, who is black. (Her mother is white.) Carol's caseworker thought the Browns would be an ideal match because Clifford is black and Susan is white; having foster parents similar to her own, the caseworker figured, would help Carol learn to trust adults again. (Carol's name has been changed because she is a juvenile.)
