I have a really narrow (5 ft wide, 30 ft long) side yard currently does not have any plants. My living room and kitchen window directly looks into this side yard, where we can only see our old fence and neighbor's wall, which is not exciting at all for sure :)
So my plan is to plant some easy maintaining, tall (3 to 6 ft) plants that's also drought resistant (maybe watering every other week), since I don't have sprinklers there. Also since the yard is so narrow, I'd like the plants to be not too big in thickness. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated! |

BTW, side yard is in shade most of the day |

There used to be Australian Brush Cherries in a very skinny spot in the yard. They grow pretty tall, dense and can be trimmed into a skinny hedge, as tall as you need. We chopped them low a few times to paint behind them, but they grew back straight up and were easy to keep trimmed. There's a pretty narrow side yard here, probably less than 5 feet due to a long shed we built along the fence. I started building totems out of the 'too many pots' all over the yard. They can be as skinny as you want depending on the size of the pots and are fun and easy to build. Some are just cd racks from yard sales. The second to the left in the last photo is an upside down chimney from a chimenea with a plastic pot in the top. These plants have grown nicely since these photos were taken. I don't have any sprinklers, and water with a hose. These things get water every couple of weeks, but sometimes go a few months (due to being lazy, lol). They're in soil that's as close as possible to Tapla's mix over on the container forum. There's shade cloth above them. Linda |
Abufish, you might want to check out variegated buckthorn, rhamnus alaternus variegata. Drought tolerant once established -- very few plants are drought tolerant before they are established. As an added bonus, the branches are great to use as interesting greenery in flower arrangements. Kay PS: There is also an all-green version, but that may get taller than you'd like. |

TIA kathi |

Hi Kathi, These are the pots that you see sometimes with bare feet underneath. I had seen this pottery store next to the 110 fwy. in Gardena for years. Never had time to stop, so finally made it a point to go there. It's either pottery heaven or pottery he11, depending on your mood. It's a big building filled with every pot you could imagine, but the best part for me is that they have a large clearance section outside. These face pots with no feet were $2.50 each outside on the day I was there. They're available inside with feet in a few sizes. Here are some photos in my album from when I went. Sorry you have to cut and paste. I'm also lindasewandsew on photobucket. http://s143.photobucket.com/albums/r149/lindasewandsew/Pottery Manufacturing Store/?start=all I'm in no way related to this store, other than really liking it. Good thing it's a bit of a drive from my house, lol. There's a nice little nursery one street over from it called Sunflower Farms. It's worth a look too. Have fun, Linda |
Here is a link that might be useful: Pottery Place in Gardena
Here are some native and other low water suggestions: If its shady: If its sunny: For some reason i thought of a lot of plants with berries. not sure where you are in so cal but if you need a nursery, Las pilitas, theodore payne and Nopalitos nurseries carry native and low water plants. Also Seaside Gardens in Santa Barbara is amazing. |

Over a century after her birth, Vera Hall's "Troubles So Hard" is still enthralling listeners and shaping American music. One of the greatest folk singers the world has ever known, Vera developed her craft in humble Livingston, Ala. Her strong and beautiful voice gave this song an almost haunting quality that makes it hard to forget. Younger generations likely recognize the song from being sampled throughout electronic musician Moby's 1999 hit "Natural Blues."
This week's track was chosen by C.S. Fuqua, Alabama historian and music writer. Here's what he had to say about his pick:
"Vera Hall Ward is one of the foremost interpreters of African American blues and spirituals. American folklorist Alan Lomax recorded Hall and others in Alabama in the late 1930s and 1940s, which brought some fame but not wealth to Hall. She died indigent and blind in 1964".
Her work may have been underpaid but her contributions never will be underestimated.
Can't get enough of Vera Hall? You can purchase this great track and more on iTunes.
Join us here next week for more great music and visit The Year of Alabama Music on Facebook for the latest updates.

The East junior squads took the four points across the board but the Cats worked diligently on continuing to improve their court knowledge.
A pleasing day for the club as we acknowledged the Pink Women's Round.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Lilly!
Facts about Lilly
- Breed: Labrador Retriever

Other Pets at furever homes
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Lilly, a Tumwater Labrador Retriever dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever for sale in Tumwater, or seeking a Labrador Retriever dog from a breeder in Tumwater.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Tumwater already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Tumwater breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Tumwater paves the way for another one to be saved.

Received a lovely Holbrook fragment and opened the display case to place it lovingly upon its waiting stand, only to have cursed case fall off the wall, my entire collection on the floor.
Counting to ten, I placed case on the dining room table and painstakingly recovered and replaced everything in their proper cubbyholes. As I placed the last one, the wretched display case tilted forward, flinging all my little darlings hither and yon! I'll replace everything tomorrow. Right now, I'm having a large Scotch.

ie7b2 floats
This is kinda neat...
I built this page as part of an assignment. It was largely broken in ie6, but even ie7b2 screws it up.
The images are floated left inside the list elements. In FF this works just fine. But in ie7 the image floats over the bullet...which is supposed to be outside the block of the list item right?
The HitMil image is transparent and you can still see the bullet.
figures that they still can't fix ie.

The problem with it displaying in IE6 is you are using the xml prologue. IE6 does not recognize this in (x)html and goes into quirks mode. This is fixed in IE7 but I don't know if the beta fixes it or not.

Aaron Sorkin, Marlee Matlin Honored at Inaugural NAD Breakthrough Awards
The National Assn. of the Deaf's inaugural Breakthrough Awards honored Marlee Matlin, Aaron Sorkin and "Switched at Birth's" producer Lizzy Weiss in a gala Thursday at the Hollywood Roosevelt.
The event celebrated those who have paved the way for deaf and hard of hearing artists in Hollywood and the media. The NAD, established in 1880, is the oldest civil-rights organization in the U.S.
Following the silent auction and cocktail hour, emcees Constance Marie ("Switched at Birth") and deaf actor and producer John Maucere officially kicked things off. Throughout the night, American Sign Language interpreters signed and spoke to ensure that both hearing and deaf attendees could follow along.
In his introduction, Bradley Whitford alluded to the many projects on Sorkin's resume saying, "There are only a few good men who are as multi-talented as this visionary. Every newsroom should have an introducer like him, and every American president should have a writer like him."
Sorkin, who worked with both Whitford and Matlin on "The West Wing," discussed his decision to cast Matlin in the role of Joey Lucas.
"When I wrote that character, Joey Lucas, into 'The West Wing,' I didn't think 'I want to write a hearing-impaired character.' Like any writer, I want to work with the very best actors and actresses that are out there, and that means Marlee Matlin," he explained.
Sorkin then joked, "If Marlee Matlin is playing a character, that character is going to be hearing-impaired, just as when Brad Whitford is playing a character, that character is going to have a dumb look on their face."
"Switched at Birth" actress Vanessa Marano then took the stage to present to Weiss, who came up with the idea for her ABC Family show - the first TV series with a predominantly deaf or hard of hearing cast - while listening to a radio show and hearing about two women who were switched at birth.
Weiss' 6-year-old son then stole the show by surprising his mom onstage during her speech.
Weiss, who is hearing, described her extensive research prior to penning the pilot and said she can relate to her characters and the deaf community.
"I'm not deaf, but I am a woman and I am a Jew," Weiss said. "There are times when being on the outside is frustrating or infuriating - when you feel left out, misunderstood or misrepresented, or when you're considered different simply because someone else is defining what the norm is."
NAD CEO Howard Rosenblum presented the final award of the night to Matlin, who received a standing ovation. The two first met 40 years ago through a children's theater for the deaf.
Matlin noted that the hotel was the site of the first Academy Awards and recalled her own Oscar experience 27 years ago.
"That was the moment that changed not only my life, but the life of every single actor and artist who was deaf or hard of hearing who preceded me and who followed me," Matlin said. "It was our moment of 'Yes we can.' "
Matlin also described the harsh criticism she faced after winning an Oscar for playing a deaf character.
"What, in essence, they were saying was that I, despite Hollywood's highest honor, was handicapped and DOA - deaf on arrival," she explained. "We all know that's not the case, and the answer is right here in this ballroom."
After her speech, Matlin got the crowd dancing as deaf rapper Sean Forbes closed out the night with a performance of his inspirational song with a title that summed up the event's message: "Don't Let Anything Hold You Back."
Other honorees included deaf theater artist Bernard Bragg, PepsiCo's Clay Broussard and Marilyn Magness of Disney Entertainment.

"I've now made this recipe four times... twice it came out perfect! Delicioussss.. the other two times - once, I undercooked it. The top was just barely brown and the middle was still liquidy-jiggly. Result - the gooey cake part never quite set up right, having more of a 'vanilla pudding' consistency and oozing out of the crust every time I cut..."
"Very easy, tasty and portable! I made these for a 3rd-shift New Years Eve party at work. Co-workers loved 'em especially with some sweetened strawberries on top. The only problem I had was with the vanilla wafer cookies, they weren't large enough to fill the bottom of the cups and after baking and a night of refridgeration they were pretty much..."
"Made this two nights ago after frantically trying to find out how to feed four people with four chicken breast halves and a couple potatoes, plus miscellanious ingredients on hand. Used a cup half&half and a bit of heavy whipping cream instead of the light cream, and Italian-flavored breadcrumbs that I usually put in meatloaf. It came out wonder..."
"Made this for dinner last night and it was quite good, creamy and went well with the egg noodles. Will definitely be making it again."
"I made this recipe for my boyfriend's parents, along with oven-baked fried chicken and cornbread. I think I used *way* too much olive oil, the bottom of the dish was swimming, but the vegetables were tender and good, especially the roma tomatoes. Mozzarella mixed with the parmesan made it gooey and great."
"This is the best and easiest peach dessert I have ever had. I made it with canned light sliced peaches instead of fresh or frozen and it still was wonderful - warm and gooey and sweet. I imagine it would be even better with a little vanilla ice cream, but it was wonderful just by itself. I'll be making this for years to come."

Barangaroo is the future of Sydney. It is being created as a landmark for our economic future and to give people maximum access to the harbour.
It will become a spectacular waterfront precinct and a place that everyone in NSW and Australia can be proud of. Valued at over $6 billion AUD, Barangaroo is Sydney's largest redevelopment project this century and will evolve over the next 10 to 20 years, injecting more than $1.5 billion AUD into the NSW economy annually.
Barangaroo is located on the western edge of Sydney's CBD, on the shores of our world famous harbour.
When complete, Barangaroo will showcase how city populations can live sustainably. It will create a new, 21st century western face to our city. It will include six hectares of a new Barangaroo Point, busy public waterfront walks and parks, commercial office towers and apartments, all serviced by new and extended transport systems.
Its design must be bold to make the most of this rare opportunity for renewal, rarely available to global city CBD's around the world.
The site has been divided into three redevelopment areas - the Barangaroo Point, Central Barangaroo and Barangaroo South.
Barangaroo Point will feature:
- Restored naturalistic headland features which will balance with the other natural headlands it faces around the harbour
- A place for the public to relax by the harbour and in natural surroundings just minutes from the CBD
- A public foreshore walk which will continue the length of the site and on to Walsh Bay and Darling Harbour
Barangaroo South will be the commercial centre of the site. It will feature:
- Commercial buildings with the large floor plates demanded in the 21st century by the international financial services industry
- Residential apartments that will ensure the site is vibrant and active seven days a week
Central Barangaroo is the public heart of Barangaroo. As a home for creativity and innovation, Central Barangaroo will also be a cultural and civic focal point for recreation, events and entertainment. Ideas and plans for this area are being gathered, considered and debated to ensure that our vision for a bold new place is realised.
The vision:
Barangaroo will be a celebrated destination for all; it will raise our international acclaim, deliver financial and economic success, be a reference point for cultural wonder, Indigenous respect, design excellence and sustainable cities. Sydney is creating the best place in the best place in the world, adding a brilliant new dimension to brilliant Sydney.

I agree to what The Economist says. There's no freedom of speech in Argentina, and the only ones that say "whatever they think" are chased by the government. On top of that, the goverment got approved -with the excuse of limiting monopolies- a law that forces big newspapers and cable owners to open up their monopolies... The bad thing is that these ones are the only that dare tell the truth...Clarin group is one example...
Argentina is a developing country that has many issues to take care of. We have inflation over the average rate. We have insecurity that hits headlines everyday. And we have social perturbation that includes roadblocks and manifestations.
But we certainly don't have regulations nor actions of the government that limit the freedom of speech.
I'am a freelance in Argentina. I work for both, domestic and foreign clients. This article does not reflect the truth of what is happening in Argentina right now. Of course, the average reader of a publication like the economist may agree with all that where said there, but I am sure that I will not agree with an average reader of The Economist in many aspects of life, values or moral. Media here in Argentina, to be more precise, the 3 main Multimedia/press groups are leading an open war against the government, and by extension against the state, and consequently against the welfare of the people. The same media which granted protection to the military whose lead the last coup d'état here in Argentina. During the dictatorship of the 70's, with disappeared journalists and all, Clarín, claimed on its front pages of those days that there were "only" a censorship of 36 hours to the media. Now, on democracy, they claim that you don't have free of speech. Its readers speaks of diKtadura (with K, for Kirchner). Take your own conclusion.
it is a paraphrase of 19th C Mexican President Benito Juarez who said: "A los amigos, justicia y gracia; a los enemigos, la ley a secas"
The same old story: once legal but not legitimate authorities broke economic freedom, like on a slippery slope, they NEED TO break civil liberties. First one, freedom of speech; then, freedom to travel outside the country and finally, right of life.
People should know and never forget.
This link shows how difficult is freedom of speech in Argentina, and it compares Argentina with the rest of the World.
That the true inflation rate is way above the official figure is evident to anyone who travels regularly to Argentina every few months, as I do. The country has all it takes to be prosperous and fair but corruption is a constant spoiler. Worse, the undermining of effective state structures such as education implemented by this government will make the country poorer. But then, an ignorant population is a pliant population, especially if panem et circences (asado and football) are freely available and the Peronistas have no reason to change a policy that keeps them in power and fills their pockets.
To my mind, together with the absence of any plan whatsoever, CFK´s government worse aspect is its constant lack of respect to those who are not supporters by mocking them, sending her lackeys against them and last but not least the shameful social division they have caused. In addition, I can mention the overrun of people´s freedom of choice in terms of savings, purchase of foreign currency, bullying businessmen and not granting the same rights for everyone. Of course all of these embellished with corruption everywhere.
And the lack of a strong political party that opposes to FpV is not helping. As a young Argentinian, is very depressing.
TE should have closed the article with a quote from General Peron (the cancer of Argentina). He was known for repeatedly saying during his speeches in the 50s: " For the enemy, not even justice"
Do you happen to know any real punishment to anyone that has criticized the government?
Is there any leader of the opposition in prison or in exile for expressing their opinions?
Can you give us an example of any payed bloggers? Names? How they get paid?
Do you really that TV channels and major newspapers are in trouble in Argentina?
To make one comply with the tax regulations is as legal as to write these accusations without any hard evidence.
Facts speak for themselves.
If facts speak for themselves, would you be so kind to give us some facts that speak for "yourself"?
The Argentine mess together with its intrinsic strength, is largely the result of there being far more foreign exchange under the bed or in safe deposit boxes than there is circulating in the economy. Nobody wants to admit that these dormant funds result from tax evasion and bribes. If Mrs K really wants to be revolutionary she would let the AFIP confiscate this wealth. Why this does not happen is just as obvious as why the AFIP only controls the sale of foreign exchange by banks but not the purchase of dollars or the exchange shops.
Your comment is a bit hard to understand, but it made me think of something really revolutionary: Mrs K should confiscate her own wealth.
Excellent! Bravo and Thanks to The Economist, Mr del Potro and Mr Cachanosky. Another argentine who is fed up with Ms Fernandez dictatorship.
TE is owned by the Rothschild family, which is a banker dynasty that has influenced global commerce for more than 200 years.
By manipulating public opinion through their unlimited resources they have set of the specific economic policy prescriptions that benefit their own interest. Anything that goes against those prescriptions will be shown as a mistake.
As you know the K administration is a non-conservative government. Therefore, you will never see a positive article about them.
By the way, what you call a "dictatorship" has been elected by more than the 54% of the population.
And by the way II, I am not in the K payroll (as you accused someone earlier).
"any real punishment to anyone"? Seriously? You must be joking! What proof do you need? Barbed wire? Have you read the article? Are you currently living in Argentina?
The Economist and the Rothschild family? Indeed! Shouldn't we consider the rest of the world guilty as charged as Ms Fernandez would have liked. Come on, grow up!
When the Republic administration can't insure safety, legal security nor freedom of speech (their main tasks by the way, let alone everyting else), but keeps bullying everyone, how would you call it then? Give me a break, will you?
54% of the votes didn't mean she could abuse everyone, like she has been doing for years.
Dear Enriquea,
There is a flaw on your argument. If TE only writes negative articles about non-conservative governments, why would the TE be so harsh about Berlusconi in Italy? I think you can disagree with TE on some issues but the "conspiratorial theory" of the Rothschild family seems a little bit irrational.
To repeat an statement with interrogation marks takes you nowhere. I can see you are fond of american slang: "Seriously? Give me a break, will you? You must be joking!"
No wonder why you support this neoliberal and tendentious article of TE.
To answer your question: Yes, I live in Argentina. You can say many things about this country, but if you read the papers in a daily basis, you can't never come to the conclusion that the right of freedom of speech is limited in any form.
To my chagrin and shame as an Argentine, this article is sadly true in every detail. It is just one more more vidence of a despicable and increasingly authoritarian regime that is fastly losing its legitimatecy to power. This is but another piece of evidence in a clear case. The press is pushed around by the government by withholding ads from govenment agencies (a big item in Argentina, unlike in many other countries), snubbing it since the day they took office (there is no such thing here as a press conference - the president simply does not answer questions from the press), and oposition leaders should best guard their backs, for the can be subject to a number of nasty surprises from intimidating calls to making life impossible for them in a host of ways, typical of a regime that is ever more present in daily life.
From the present situation to full-blown tyranny there is but a step. Argentina today is very much like Venezuela and Cuba.
I'm from Argentina. Article is true. Sadly, it's just only a brief of one of many corruption methods used by politics. Take into consideration that there might be payed "bloguers" writing from Argentina saying the article is a lie.
Other corruption methods...
- Politics close to the government buy lands for 2USD and sell them for 10,000 USD
- TV channels close to government arbitrary receive about 13,000,000 USD while TV channel who's against goverment which is the most viewed receive 142,000 USD from the national TV funding department.
- Turning off a live TV show without any advice 'cause an ex goverment politic called "Alberto Ángel Fernández" was revealing too much information of goverment's corruption.
- All legal causes that compromise negatively our government end up in the desk of "Oyarbide", a judge very close to our female president who stopped the investigation for 533,000,000 USD missing during Kirchner's administration in Santa Cruz and other causes such as current Vicepresident illicit negotiations with Ciccone printing firm.
These are only a couple of examples, as many pages more could be written.
""Anyone can say whatever they like without fear of repression," she said in 2010"
"because of the insults she had suffered. Indeed, Argentina has not jailed anyone for speaking out during her presidency."
Well, The Economist didn't use to say the same a few years ago, (at the same time that Clarin, main politic opposite to Argentine Government) said the same.
Now Clarin is saying Government is pressing people who say things Government don't like, but the question is: How many people has been jailed by taxes troubles? No one.
And it is sad, because I think people who evades taxes should be jailed.
"Roberto Cachanosky, an economist, says he has been audited in four of the past five years,"
R Cachanosky was famous in internet when he recommended sell Argentine bond and buy GM shares a few weeks before that company went in bankruptcy.
Should have guessed better, with your hidden name. I can't believe I even liked one of your previous comments. You must be one of the many in the K payroll.
Roberto Cachanosky, at least don't use an avatar to hide his public comments, like yourself. You are lying, by not telling the whole truth. He must be one of the best local economists in Argentina with a deep understanding not only of his own field of economics, but a profound comprehension of the politics arena as well as the cultural deviations which led Argentina in this 80-years decline.
Our issue is exactly that we set aside our true north, the liberal ideas that made Argentina great a century ago, and we can't let the populism go even after the many crisis we suffered.
What did you expect? That she could even jail someone for speaking out what he thinks? Seriously? Where and when do you think you are?
I sincerely believe Charlie Sheen deserves more chances than Argentina.
Another argentine suffering, ready to outsource our country administration.
And that of course explains four audits.
Juan Domingo Perón, (Cristina Fernandez is "Peronista", head of the Peronist Party): Everything for a friend, not even justice for an enemy.
This article reflects the sad truth. I feel ashamed of being ruled by this woman who is despotic and has no respect for the people who don't share her point of view. If you listen to her speeches, we're living in Wonderland...and Clarín is the villan. But we know what she tries to show is all lies: prices, crimes and unemployment increase every day. She is sorruounded by a group of brainwashed zombies who nod to everything she says! Poor country...poor economy, poor us!
Your are a democracy country,how could that happen? Is there anything you can do to change it?
As ancient Rome, our democracy is fake, people are as in the colliseum, entretained with free soccer pay per view, and feeded with salary (minimum wages) without having to do any tipe of work. Also politics turn over corruption as they are elected. Sadly, our people in Argentina only look after their pocket, and there is much ingnorance and tolerance through all our nation.
No, they can't do anything, because mainly of the things they say against the Argentine Government are lies.
Cristina Kirchner won last election with 55% and 40 point of difference with second candidate in a fair election.
How is it possible?
They don't understand what's happening in Argentina. In fact, they think poverty would be very high because people who don't live of Government social aids can't vote them. Funny.
As an Argentine attorney, all I can say is that this Government reflects the worst of the Argentine cultural idiosycrasy. In a country that has so much resources to offer, the issue is nothing but tied to education and values. We learn early on that truth has no purpose on our day-to-day business and therefore we Argentines have developed quite a distorted sense of what is good for us. As a result, we have a short-term approach to any subjects and given the lack of good examples in politics we end up voting for the less worse option. It is true what the article states. Things like this and even worse happen every day. And it is clear that this government is in office because a large majority has voted them time and again, while the opposing parties struggle in mediocrity. However, there is always hope. We will learn one day. Perhaps not in the short run, but as an European friend pointed out to me one day, Europe had two large wars and great misery before it decided to join efforts for a better future. In the meantime, we will keep wasting our opportunities.
I'm an Argentine independent businessman. I confirm the article is completely accurate.
Just would add that every business may pay all taxes and still fear the tax agency and the rage of the government.
Hundreds of new rules are passed every year and you are always afraid some new mandatory form may not have been filed by mistake.
Leaving aside the arguments in favour or against the Kirchners, I ask myself what is it that makes Argentines think that they have the right to decide whether a monarchy is good or bad for a country? Contrary to proof, they seem fixed on the idea that only a republic can uphold democracy, but if the model of such republic is Argentina... well then, I'd much rather live under the royals! Argies, use your reasoning capabilites to put things straight, emotions are good for a River-Boca match but they live much of the population empoverished.
Argentina continues its resolute march towards the past - not only in politics, but also in economics. The latest economics edits smell like the 19040s and 1950s. It is probably trying to reach the begining of the past century, when it was one of the richest nations in the world.

For compact equipment users, each issue features in-depth worksite stories that show how contractors, landscapers, farmers, and others get more done, more reliably, for less with John Deere Commercial Worksite Products and Worksite Pro™ attachments.
Thomas Edison once said, "Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work." Paul Holman and Jim Thauwauld, owners of S.T.F. Services in Centerville, Minnesota, are no strangers to hard work. And when opportunity came knocking, they answered the door. Or, at the risk of mixing metaphors, when a large telephone company contacted them, they answered the call.
Don't let cold weather put a freeze on productivity. John Deere compact machines are designed to start and run reliably during the winter months. Still, cold-weather operation requires a little extra care. By following these helpful tips, you can minimize the effect cold weather may have on your engine.
In the Winter 2014 issue of Worksite Journal, we announced that you can now manage and monitor all your assets — including John Deere Commercial Worksite Products (CWP) as well as non-Deere equipment — through the JDLink web portal or JDLink Mobile app. Here's a refresher with more details on the terminal hardware.

The Liblog Landscape 2007-2008: A Lateral Look is now available!
This 285-page 6x9 trade paperback looks at 607 liblogs (nearly all English-language) and, for most of them, how they've changed from 2007 to 2008.
Eleven chapters consider the universe of liblogs (that is, blogs by "library people" as opposed to blogs from libraries):
The final chapter, just over half the book, provides a brief objective description and available metrics for each blog. The book includes many tables and a fair number of graphs. There is an index of blogs and authors.
It's the most comprehensive look at liblogs ever done--and the only one I know of that shows how they're changing from year to year.
Earlybird Price
From now through January 15, 2009, and only from Lulu, The Liblog Landscape 2007-2008 is available for $22.50 plus shipping.
On January 16 or thereabouts, that price will go up to $35.00. If and when the book is available on Amazon, it will immediately sell for $35.00.
Want to know more?
You'll find a lot more about the book (or the process of creating it) by clicking on the "Liblog Landscape" category. Additionally, I plan to do a series of posts offering brief descriptions of each chapter, posing some puzzles and noting how often each blog appears in the index.
The best way to find out more, of course, is to order the book.
Oh, I'd love to have library schools aware of it, but I'm deathly afraid of "that's a sales pitch" feedback on a list I'm not normally part of. As you say, it seems likely that most LIS faculties would have someone monitoring PUBLIB. But I'll look at JESSE, and if there's a concise way I can mention it without seeming intrusive, I might do that.
Meanwhile, thanks, MD...
Actually, one of my earlier posts is off the mark: *Authors* would have to pay more if there were approval plans. I can't imagine how such plans would work with Lulu, anyway, since most items published there are really intended for tiny, tiny audiences--frequently just family & friends.
O, I thought you wanted to get the LIS schools alerted. I suppose, like me, there is someone from each school at PUBLIB. I know that if we want something outside of the approval plans we need to write up a request--as I did--for this book.
Since I'm not part of the ALISE world, I really don't know what the "LIS faculty discussion lists" are--and which ones would regard a simple publication announcement as something other than spam.
I posted this announcement on my own blog, here, on the C&I Update blog, and on Web4Lib and Publib. Unlike previous PoD books, I do plan to send out two or three review copies...eventually.
No, Lulu wouldn't be on any approval plans. Of more than a million published items, only a handful are library-related. For that matter, given the way Lulu operates, you'd have to pay extra to use an approval plan if there was one...
The JESSE list hosted on the UT-Knoxville listserv would be where many LIS faculty hang out.
If you want to talk about the book on LISTen, I am more than happy to oblige. Just use the contact details on the podcast page's masthead to get in touch.

You need to get faculty to request it. The Lulu probably isn't on any approval plan, is it?
I made an old-fashioned request through the LIS bibliographer. This becomes a special order, I think. So, maybe you should post this announcement at one of the LIS faculty discussion lists. I am not sure where all you post. I do think anyone who includes social networking would refer students.
I will now order a copy and have it sent to USF. Best of both worlds. The College can have it and I can stop by and read it too!
Is there someone specific to whom I should direct it to be shipped?
I asked the library to order, one. Aren't you in Pinellas? The USF_SP could use, I bet.
That is a good idea, a bit closer for me too.
I will have it shipped to me as I can't figure out how to get LuLu to ship it elsewhere without creating a pseudo-permanant delivery address. Then I will send it down to St.Pete campus library.
Eleven bucks shipping, geez. Oh well it is still cheaper than $35.
Really? I thought it was more like $5.25.
Or did you use something fancier than MediaMail? I never pay for expedited shipping with Lulu; the production cycle itself takes 2-4 days, and MediaMail rarely takes more than another 3-4 days (cross fingers). And, after all, Amazon's free shipping is MediaMail...
Sorry about the overpriced shipping, not that I can do anything about it.
I can't actually finish the order in Opera. However in Firefox there is a cheaper shipping option.
Very odd
Mystery on mystery. I would have thought Lulu's site was fairly browser-independent.
Then again, it's been a long time since I tried Opera. It screwed up enough sites (back some years ago) that I went running back to IE. (Which I now use for one site that requires it and for some blogs that print more nicely there than in Firefox--99% of the time, I use Firefox.)
The podcast has stuff available through Lulu and On-Disk.com. On-Disk's site isn't as AJAX-rich as Lulu is. The printed materials and digital downloads are available at Lulu while discs are available through On-Disk. Such may not serve everybody in every browser, but I try to catch as many folks as possible.
The only browsers used on this end are Safari, Firefox, and Lynx.

Well, since the book specifically doesn't include qualitative evaluations of each blog--I don't offer my opinion or "star" certain blogs as being extra-special--I'm not being anywhere near as crafty as I should be.
Frankly, if I sold as many copies as there are blogs listed--or even close to that--I'd be delighted, also astonished, and would almost certainly continue the project. I'd also hope that some copies will sell to people who aren't in the book--at the very least, library schools. (But then, "at the very least, library schools" should have meant at least 46 copies sold of the Academic Library Blogs book, and the total's still shy of that number.)
I would have been criticized mercilessly if I hadn't provided a linked list of the blogs included. Even though posting that list on my own blog offers link love in some cases where I'd rather not do so... (not many, but there are a few).
I'm pretty sure I am not a library school but I do have that particular blogs book on the shelf here.

you think you can appeal to my ego and the 606 other bloggers to sell more books? yeah, you're probably right.

DENVER, July 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- DaVita Inc. (NYSE: DVA), a leading provider of kidney care services for those diagnosed with chronic kidney disease (CKD), today announced six of its dialysis facilities in Colorado have received the 2009 End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Silver Award for Clinical Excellence. The award is granted by the Intermountain ESRD Network (Network 15), a federally mandated, nonprofit Colorado corporation that contracts with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), to implement the ESRD Network program in its six-state area: Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming.
Of the approximately 275 dialysis facilities in the Intermountain ESRD Network, only 15 (less than six percent of the overall number) received awards.
"DaVita's clinical outcomes are consistently the best in the industry, and the outstanding teammates who work closely with our dedicated physician partners at these six facilities are a big reason why," said Allen R. Nissenson, Chief Medical Officer for DaVita(R). "We are proud to be recognized for the care we provide to our patients."
The standards for the Silver Awards are set by the Medical Review Board of Network 15 and require that clinics achieve at least four out of five clinical goals dealing with patient treatment and health outcomes:

Kandiyohi County seeks legislative action to protect lakes from zebra mussel
WILLMAR -- Popular fishing tournaments that draw competitive anglers to Minnesota could spread aquatic invasive species -- like zebra mussels -- to area lakes, according to a local lake organization.
"Fishing tournaments are going to ruin the lakes," said Terry Frazee, from the Green Lake Property Owners Association, during a presentation Tuesday to the Kandiyohi County Board of Commissioners.

Hi Amy,
Can't help with the organisation and filing of seed packets I'm afraid, I inherited a garden with a certain amount of established plants so I haven't had to plant from seed yet, I clicked on here as I was curious as to how people do store and organise their seeds but I wanted to say I'm sorry for your loss, you must be missing your mum terribly.
Gardening will certainly help to fill your days and give you something to channel your energy into. And its addictive. And some people are naturally good at it, if your mum was you probably will be too so you'll reap the rewards in no time. Hope you manage to get it all figured out and under way very soon. Love Heather
I'm so "green" at some of this. I didn't realise you could literally layer plants up on top of one another. And I find I'm so unbelievably impressed by this (I know, I know I should get out more ). What a super duper space saving idea that is. I'm gonna have to try that with one or two of my pots next year. *Still learning*
I know a lot of people who've planted things in memory of their loved ones. And I don't think it matters if its a plant, or a bench, or whatever. If that's what comforts you and brings you a little bit of piece and the ability to smile when remembering, none of it can wrong can it. That's what I think anyway.
Lovely pics Marion, for colour, Autumn is absolutely my favourite season, just heavenly. I could rave on for hours on end about the reds and the golds and the russetts and the oranges and the browns
Sorry to hear about your son Diddy, must have been very tough times for you all. But what a wonderful idea to grow something in his memory he must be the first thing you think about when you look at it and I should think it must be comforting and lift you up when you see that beautiful bloom of roses.
Gorgeous looking flowers, and what a beautiful garden you have.
Oh why no Gardeners World? It wasn't on last week cos of something or other. Grrr.
Its been raining here solidly since 6 am (give or take the odd let up for the odd half hour). Not sure what its going to do for the rest of the afternoon, its still very cloudy but oh so humid and the cloud cover doesn't look as water laden as it did before. I could also use a great big downpour of water for the same reasons, have a couple of areas I need to dig but there aint no getting a fork through that lot right now its solid. Rain dances anyone?!
See me on here with my sad face on next year Lulu probably cos it wont work and I'll just have a splodge where the peony plant was this year! That said I've been fairly harsh with a lot of things without to be honest any real knowledge or understanding of what I'm doing (novice gardner) but nothing has died yet or looks like it won't grow again. Just went for it on the basis that flowers seem to like to grow again and whatever seemed like common sense. I've asked for advice on some things but I'm such a novice I'd be on here morning, noon and night saying help so I'm taking the bull by the horns with a lot and just praying!
Wasn't sure what to do with mine so I've left them. I'm gonna start chopping now Stacey, I did get some gorgeous flowers from mine but not too many so if a drastic cut down does the job i'm there, I'd love to get an abundance of flowers from mine next year. Here goes....

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

* Tracking Mexico's Drug Cartels
A Tumultuous Good Friday
The 23 drug-related homicides in Mexico that occurred March 21 made Good
Friday one of the deadliest days so far this year in the country's
continuing drug war. The killings were widespread across Mexico.
In Cancun, Quintana Roo state, a man was shot six times in the face
outside a shopping center during the height of spring break. During the
last several weeks, the normally violent tourist cities of Cancun and
Acapulco had seen relatively little violence. Drug gangs have been
maintaining a low profile in the cities ever since the Mexican
government ordered several hundred troops to the cities to ensure the
safety of foreign visitors during the spring break season. So far, the
move has cut the average number of homicides by more than half in the
two cities. No violence affecting foreign tourists - who have brought
Acapulco to nearly 100 percent capacity this season - has been reported.
With the spring break season still ongoing, the incident in Cancun
serves as a reminder that drug activity has not been put on hold and
that violence is still possible.
Declining Security in Juarez
Ten of the 23 Good Friday killings occurred in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua
state. In one particularly brutal case, two victims were shot more than
100 times in a hotel. Historically home to the Juarez cartel - and
notorious for the hundreds of unsolved killings of women - Ciudad Juarez
has seen its security situation deteriorate significantly over the past
few months. According to one count, the more than 100 drug-related
homicides in Juarez during 2008 represent at least a 60 percent increase
over the same period last year.
Meanwhile, six of eight police officers in the nearby border town of
Palomas resigned this week due to threats from drug trafficking groups.
It is unclear exactly what lies behind the surge in organized crime
activity in Juarez and the rest of Chihuahua state. One possibility is
that the security clampdown that began in Tamaulipas state in December
2007 has forced the Gulf cartel to shift its trafficking operations
farther west. The logistical requirements of such a large shift in
cartel operations possibly could have provoked the Juarez cartel and
other local gangs to greater violence in response to the threat to their
Regardless of what is fueling the region's downward spiral, the security
situation in Chihuahua state most likely will receive greater attention
from Mexico City in the coming months. Until now, the government has not
sent anything beyond small deployments of federal police and military
troops to the city. That may change if security in Juarez continues to
A large-scale security operation in Juarez could have a significant
impact. Through its ongoing operation in northern Tamaulipas state, the
government has learned that while it may do a poor job of locating
high-ranking cartel members, it has succeeded in quelling the overall
violence. Killings in cities like Reynosa and Matamoros still occur, but
at a reduced rate since the government flooded the area with more than
3,000 troops. Tactics such as highway checkpoints and urban patrols may
even have a higher chance of success in Juarez, where the violence and
organized criminal structures appears less centralized than in
Tamaulipas. As a border city with direct trade access to the United
States, Juarez will be a much higher priority for Mexico City than other
equally violent areas like Sinaloa state.

I have to ask... How many acres? You have a lot of land there ! And what are you starting from seed? |
- Posted by joytwo1839 z6 TN (My Page) on Wed, May 7, 08 at 13:14
This year I started more from seed than I have before _ I just can't seem to get enough light. But I started tomatoes, peppers, squash, cucumbers, watermelon, eggplant, herbs,marigolds, 4 o'clock, hollyhocks, zinnias, poppies, cleome and I don't know what else. But we have fifteen acres in all. The fenced area is my flower garden. It is 50 x 100. DH pitches a fit if I want to plant anything outside this area. He likes to get on that riding mower and go! The part on the right where the white bucket is has been turned into a vegetable garden. |

"Hubby and I really like this recipe. It's my go to recipe when I don't have any meat on hand. It's very filling and we serve it with sweet homemade cornbread. Yum! I have tried making it with and without cider vinegar. We could not STAND the taste of the cider vinegar....we may just be really sensitive to that taste. So I omit that ingredient."
"I really like these brownies. I always have the ingredients on hand and it's super easy to just whip up, especially if you need to bring a dessert to something and you're in a pinch! I substituted Pamela's Gluten Free Pancake & Baking flour mix for the flour and it turned out fabulous."
"I was in a pinch and needed taco seasoning. This was so quick and easy! I have no idea why I've never made this before. I don't think I will ever buy packaged Taco seasoning again!"
"I made this recipe last year, and plan on making it again! It was HUGE hit at last Thanksgiving dinner. I did change up the topping, however. I put big fat marshmallows on top instead and baked those for a bit until they were toasted. The topping you have sounds so good so I might have to try it that way at some point. Thanks for sharing!"
"Easy and Yummy -- 2 of my favorite things! I served it with spanish rice and Recipe #103767. Thanks for sharing!"
"Very yummy, especially when served with the Low Carb Mexi Bake! Hubby and I really enjoyed it and it will be made again! Thanks!"
"Holy moly, we loved this! I threw it all in the crockpot (in like 3 minutes) when I was home for lunch, turned it on, when to work, and it was ready for the cream cheese (used LF) when I returned. I shredded up the chicken with a fork and served it over brown rice! This is my go to meal when I need something FAST and don't want to mess with making..."
"Very good and satisfying soup! Quick to put together and I almost always have these ingredients on hand, which is a plus. We ate this with crushed tortilla chips and light sour cream. I will definitely be making this again!"
