When we're all looking for ways to cut costs, this is one area I think a lot of people will be looking at. If you subscribe to anything other than dial-up service, it makes no sense to keep the land line... why pay extra! |

For me, it's not about the money. Coming from the Hilltowns, I have no choice but to keep my landline as the cell service here is non-existent. It's nice having 5000 acres of state lands nearby, but the utilities don't see the need to provide service because the area is too sparsely populated to make it worth their while. It took the death of one man on the Northway to get service there. How long will the phone companies have to wait to prevent the same up here? FWIW - This includes the cable TV/internet companies, too. There is a critical need for our children to have access to high speed internet connections to remain competitive in school, yet they are limited to dial-up or satellite service that doesn't work in the snow, rain and can even be slower than molasses when it's sunny. How about using some of the President's ARRA money to bring the rest of us to the 21st century? |

Yes, I agree totally! Our children and grandchildren, living in rural areas, deserve high speed internet access to keep up with what the schools expect in the twenty-first century. No longer can students just use paper and pencil and be competitive with those that have high speed internet to do research. This is especially true in the higher grades, even in elementary school. These students are the future of our country. Do what you can for them and our future. |

Thank you!, NYGIRL61. I agree with you 100%. I've gone cellular. My cellphone has 911-GPS capabilities and many more features a landline does not offer. Sure it's a little more expensive but to have a landline and no cellphone is not what's going on in the technology world today. So i'd choose cellphone over a landline. |

To those who are in 'rural' areas: why should the government and/or cable/internet companies lay an infrastructure to an area where there wouldn't be enough revenues to support that kind of investment? If you want these services you should either be willing to live in an area that has them, or be willing to pay for the cost of laying the infrastructure needed. |

>> why should the government and/or cable/internet companies lay an infrastructure to an area where there wouldn't be enough revenues to support that kind of investment? << 1 - because the government's charge is to 'serve the people' - ALL of the people - not just where it is convenient. The contracts that government establishes with the companies must be for them to provide service to EVERYONE and not cherry pick where they can make the most money. The providers should be given the choice between total coverage and not being allowed anywhere. 2 - because cell phones are a public safety issue. Drive into a tree avoiding a deer on the way home from the mall and see how you like it when your phone reports 'No Service' and you find the doors stuck as smoke begins to roll from the engine compartment. 3 – because these services are no longer a luxury The need for high speed internet is also no longer a matter of choice. In addition to handicapping school children who don't have the service to do homework, there are medical needs, like monitoring of in-home dialysis and other life threatening conditions. These are every day occurrences and we have the ability to fix the lack of communications. 4 - because it is foolish to mess with the farmers Your idea of 'live somewhere else' is idiotic. Much of the land that is less densely inhabited in the rural communities is farmed, so people like you have food. If we don't farm, you don't eat. We could refuse to sell our farm products until the price gets high enough to be able to pay the companies to bring the services in. The government legislated the Rural Electrification Admin into existence in 1935 to bring electric power to the less populated areas. That will work with communications infrastructure, too. Then there's the ARRA funding that we all have to pay for which is supposed to stimulate the economy, available to make the rural folks equal and not second class citizens. No matter which it will happen, you will be paying for it, too, so since we are sliding rapidly into socialism, shut up and dig deeper into your pockets to share the costs. |

I'm outraged at the feeling of entitlement to these services. I'm outraged that my poorly-spent tax dollars will be used to create subsidies to PUBLICALLY-TRADED, FOR-PROFIT companies in order to extend their service to those for whom extending service would, under normal circumstances, be a very poor business decision as it would not drive profit. I have a really big problem with these large corporations (Qwest, Verizon, AT&T, Time-Warner, Comcast, Charter, etc...) getting a slice of my tax dollars. |

Part 1 How long would it take before your opinions changed if a decision were made to leave your area without power and light because it needed new wires and it was decided that it wasn't profitable to replace them? Did you complain that the government declared an emergency after the ice storm in January and provided funding to replace the damaged distribution system or would you have wanted them to leave you in the dark because it was not cost effective to fix them? I'm sure you like to eat, so what about using roads that are built with tax money, EVERYONE's tax money? How would you get food from the farms to the markets without them? The Amish prove that electricity is not necessary and farm folk would not suffer from hunger if their produce could not be transported to feed the likes of you, but how well would you fare if the government had not extended the roads? How much food do you produce? How long would you last if the government had not used tax money to subsidize you? Your water is from a tax subsidized system and I'm sure you wouldn't want to think about where you would go to the bathroom (or what your neighborhood would smell like) without publicly funded sewer systems. Your totally insufficient education came from what is called the Free Public Education system, which is hardly free. It is paid for by the taxes collected from land owners, even ones who have no children to benefit from it. The jails which house the criminals who abound in high population areas, like yours, are paid for people in low crime areas, too. Would you have those costs borne only by the people where the criminals come from? |

Part 2 If you have a problem with how your taxes are used, think about the politicians who pay themselves outrageous salaries and vote themselves fantastic benefits. Congress pays $176,000 to each member and entitles them to pensions after serving just one term. They gleefully spend millions (mostly from contributions) for those jobs, because they know that they will become millionaires through the influence they will be rewarded for by spending your taxes. How much will your government pension (Social Security) pay you? What about the $350 billion they spend on illegal aliens each year or the $20 billion they will spend to relocate members of Hamas to the US or the trillions of tax dollars they are printing to buy some of those corporations you revile? Aside from the need to provide classroom services, there is a responsibility to provide high speed internet to educate ALL of our children, NOT just those in the cities. There is a need to make access to 911 and emergency responders available to EVERYONE, not just people where it is cost effective. The people in rural areas deserve the same protection as you do. I was outraged that there was no cell phone service a mere 20 miles from Albany when I moved here from the suburbs and that the cable provider flat out didn't offer service to my farm. I am 1.6 miles from the end of the cable and the company told me they are not extending it any further. After I inquired about a commercial account, their reply was that I could get hooked up for $20,000! My neighbors were sent a letter offering them residential service if they were willing to pay $2000 each. THAT's outrageous! And the politicians let them get away with it. And they will continue to allow it as long as morons think it's alright to treat some taxpayers as second class citizens. |

Adirondackal, do modern conservatives ever say anything without looking up the facts first? And does everything have to be loaded with such hatred and bitterness? I don't mean that as a personal attack, it seems endemic to conservatism in general. What happened to first rate minds who espoused conservatism, like Buckley or Strauss? Are people like that still around, or did they get drowned out by Fox Noise and any number of creeps and cretins in the blogosphere? Cable companies own Obama.....riiiiiiight: http://www.opensecrets.org Conservatives need to get over it, your side lost, you lost big time, it was an epic fail for the record books, and it wasn't because of corporate machinations. 88% of Obama's war chest came from INDIVIDUALS. You know, like every day people who pay bills and such, and who probably don't hide their income in offshore accounts. The conservative world view had it's chance and the people spoke. |

marty, your analysis is just a little bit flawed. 1 - your choice of sources leaves much to be desired. The web site you offered is hardly the epitome of independence. 2 - conservatives understand the threat your boy poses to this nation and are scared, not full of hatred. 3 - There are many dedicated conservatives around, but they are overshadowed by losers. 4 - Obama won because the true conservatives refused to vote for McCain AND because of the votes of illegal aliens and the people ACORN helped to vote multiple times. 5 - 88% of the declared contributions may have come from individuals, but the media had been co-opted by George Soros and other behind the scenes entities who bought their cooperation. 6 - Obama won by 8.5 million votes out of 125 million votes cast, hardly an overwhelming victory at 7%. Your boy's dismantling of the safeguards established after Sept 11 is likely to result in new attacks on the US and its interests around the world. His reduction of our military will enable the Chinese and Russians to upset the balance of power that has existed since 1945, resulting in their usurpation of the Middle East's oil. Conservatism is alive and well and waiting for the court jester to cause his 'blind to the truth' followers to see the errors of their ways. It took the bungling Jimmy Carter to prepare the way for Ronald Reagan's election and the start of a 25 year long prosperity. Obama will do the same for the country, unless members of his own party stop him before he destroys too much. The wild card in the game are the Clintons and their allegiance to the People's Republic of China's military, which financed Bill's reelection in exchange for nuclear and military secrets. It's time for you to learn how to say, 'Yes Master' in Mandarin and Russian. |

Rick- I found your post to be very informative and thought provoking. I don't agree with all of it, but respect the time and energy you put into writing it. I was very curious as I was reading because at one point, you were pitching socialistic idea's by explaining how the distribution of tax payer money benefiting society as a whole and sited several examples of how this process works. Then you went into protecting the values of capitalism by justifying how CEO's make so much money- no matter what the cost to society. Then you went on to complain about a company refusing you service without thousands of dollars. This decision probably came from one of the very CEO's that you are offering justification for. I find the contradictions in your ideas fascinating and very reflective of myself and today's society. |

As China holds our debt, perhaps the dialect is Cantonese instead of Mandarin. But as Carter made the way for Reagan, Obama will make way for conservatism.

schenectadygirl - Psychic? No. Prophet?? How about student of history who believes in the adage, "Those who do not learn from the mistakes of the past are doomed to repeat them." The predictions are statements of the obvious - new attacks? The terrorists see weakness and will take full advantage of it. Reveal how your techniques work and they will no longer be afraid or get caught unawares, like waterboarding or listening to phone conversations that they think are secure. It's just a matter of time. Sources - NYTimes, Wash Post, etc. Documents declassified by Obama in Jan 2009. Hyperinflation? There is ample history of countries printing too much money and tanking their currency, economies and destroying the savings and investments of the middle class. History books - Weimar Germany after WWI, US during the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, in 1933, Hungary 1946, Yugoslavia 1980s, Bolivia 1980s (12000% depreciation of the value of their money in one year), Ukraine in the 1990s, Zimbawe 2006. Also see Wikipedia for some past inflation rates that will scare the crap out of you. Israel taking out Iran's nuke program? A forgone conclusion. The US won't take the initiative and Israel WILL be nuked when Iran has the bomb. Source - Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's own statements, including his address to the UN. Direct confrontation with Russia and China? Obama's MO is to talk, just like Chamberlain. He couldn't take a stand as a Senator, opting to vote "Present." All mouth and no balls. Taking the MidEast oil? They manipulated Iraq under Saddam Hussein to get rights to Iraq's oil. China is building naval bases along the shipping lanes betw the Middle East and home to prevent an interruption of their supply. Russia will not allow China to monopolize the resources, so they will take it since there will be nobody to stop them. Sources - Pravda, Xinhua, Financial Times, WSJ. Clintons and the PRC? Universally reported in 1996. Bill also received millions for his library from the PRC's military!?!?! |

schdygrl - Pt 1 I'm glad I was able to stimulate your consciousness and don't expect you to agree with everything I write. So far as socialism, let's follow up on the idea of roads. Many years ago people who had property often erected toll barriers and collected money from folks who used 'their' road. It was eventually decided that the state would control the roads 'for the public good' or to collect tolls. Just imagine how life would be if we had a network of private roads and tolls all over the place. Today most roads are 'free' except for the landowner, who pays additional taxes based upon how much road frontage they have. The user fees are charged in the form of highway use tax on the gasoline/diesel you use. The state realized that they would lose tax revenues on hybrids and other non-gasoline/diesel vehicles, which is why there is a surcharge on those vehicles and why there is a movement to install GPS devices in all vehicles to get those people who use french fry oil instead of heavily taxed diesel. The CEO is paid well for their administrative skills. Take Bill Gates and MicroSoft for example. Bill saw the value of a graphic interface to make it easy to operate a computer and established a company to develop (copy) one and market it. He was a geek, but had little marketing experience, so he found someone who could sell it. It became a success and they earned a piece of the profits, as did other members of the company and their stockholders. They made scads of money because people (their customers) saw the value of their product (or had no choice) and bought it. Theirs is an example of free market capitalism. Even if someone developed a better interface, without the marketing skills, they might not get people to buy it and their company would fail. |

Pt 2 The fly in the ointment occurs when the government gets involved. When electricity was new, only places or companies that could generate their own had power. Companies popped up to build the infrastructure to provide service to customers in close proximity to the generators. The government decided that it should be provided far and wide and established authorities, like REA, to wire up the whole country by making low cost loans to the companies. The same was done for the telephone companies. Then came the advent of cell phones and cable networks that provide TV and later, internet. Instead of helping the companies with cheap funds to build their facilities, the government charged companies for licenses to geographic areas, but the stupid politicians allowed them to cherry pick where they would provide service, so they chose to develop the parts of their licenses where they would make a lot and ignore the needs of the potential customers in low density areas. If things were more fair, small companies would appear to service those customers, but the politicians precluded that with their wide ranging licenses. Since I am in a lessly populated area, I am being discriminated against by the providers and the government, particularly in the case of cell service, for which the government collects a surcharge on my landline phone service. I pay taxes for a service which I cannot use. This is typical when government gets involved in business. The post office is a government monopoly that can't even get a letter across town in less than three days. Health care was affordable before the government started Medicare, which pays 80% of the cost of care. Since the medical profession was not going to settle for a cut, they raised costs by 25% to break even. To cut costs, Medicare set caps on what could be charged, so new procedures and tests were added to bring the profits up and universal health care will only make it worse by eliminating competition. Compare that with car insurance, where companies compete for your business with the rates they charge. The nest step will be to ration care, like GB and Canada, where you can be denied surgery for breast cancer or heart disease if you are too old or too fat. |

Pt 3 Now we have the government owning the car companies and deciding what cars they will build, regardless of what you and I want. Soon the big three will be gone. Our founding fathers carefully defined the duties and responsibilities of government to keep us from these ills, but our politicians think the Constitution and Bill of Rights don't matter any more. Read those documents and discover how far we have strayed. Give special attention to Article 1 - Legislative Power and Article 2 - Executive Power Sorry if I confused you. |

Small Groups
Small groups at NBWC are what we call "kitchen environments." Like your home, "The kitchen table is often where life's most meaningful conversations take place. It is here where people share their experiences, discuss important decisions, and enjoy meals. It's where people reveal their dreams and disclose their fears. The kitchen table is where close friends begin to feel more like family. Our kitchen tables are our small-group environments. Our small groups have been designed to change people's minds about their priorities" (Andy Stanley in Creating Community).

MicroStrategy Adds Cisco's Unified Communications Rich Collaboration Capabilities To Its MicroStrategy Mobile App Platform
BARCELONA, Spain, July 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- MicroStrategy ® Incorporated (Nasdaq: MSTR), a leading worldwide provider of enterprise software platforms, today unveiled a solution to further transform how people work. MicroStrategy's Mobile App Platform™ now integrates with Cisco's Unified Communications (UC) platform, providing real-time user presence, instant messaging, voice, and video-calling capabilities. MicroStrategy customers can now build custom business apps embedded with rich collaboration alongside their transactions, multimedia, and analytics. To view the MicroStrategy-Cisco UC integration in action, please visit: http://youtu.be/69HNPknfhEs.
"The MicroStrategy-Cisco technology partnership is a giant leap forward in business apps," said Hugh Owen, Vice President of Mobile, MicroStrategy Incorporated. "Other mobile app platforms fail to provide seamlessly integrated, enterprise-grade video collaboration. The collaboration capability is brought up on top of the information-driven app without interrupting the user's app experience or requiring a cross launch to a separate app. The user can pinch the video window to scale it to the user's preference, or send it to the background without ending the call. It's a tool for the business person of the future, available today."
"We are extremely excited about the unique mobile collaboration solutions that we now can bring to market with MicroStrategy," said Brian Dal Bello, General Manager of the Clients and Mobility Business Unit, Cisco. "The integration between MicroStrategy and Cisco technologies allows companies to integrate voice, video and instant messaging (IM) into any business app built on MicroStrategy's Mobile App Platform."
Cisco + MicroStrategy Mobile Showcases a Compelling Feature Set for All Mobile Business AppsThrough the integration with Cisco UC, MicroStrategy mobile app users will now be able to take the action of calling a colleague via an encrypted channel, right from the app. Additionally, this integration offers command and control applications through conferencing. This technology can improve operations in a number of ways. For example:
- Store managers can video call their peers at other stores on the other side of the world to discuss store performance while still interacting with their store performance information.
- Sales managers can video call their sales reps and analyze and discuss their performance without leaving their sales iPad app.
- Executives can call on employees to conduct face-to-face reviews backed up with each employee's performance information still at hand.
- Installation of required MicroStrategy software to connect to Cisco UC;
- Configuration of applicable MicroStrategy products with Cisco UC connectivity;
- Design and configuration of a custom prototype app for your organization based on your data, processes and systems; and
- A detailed application design document and a video recording of the app workflow, for easy sharing within your organization.

Does anyone know how to tell if a Banana plant is an ornamental variety or a fruiting variety? I ask because I have four that I acquired last fall and they have been growing quite nicely, but I have no clue as to the type. I tried the Banana forum, but never got an answer. |

Okay, after a bit of digging around, it seems you can not really tell one banana from another. I mean, you can obviously tell if one is a dwarf or perhaps the genus, but beyond that there seems to be too many variables to look at to easily figure out the type. A true expert might be able to break down all the points and figure it out, but a regular shmoe will just be left guessing. So I am guessing that I will just have to wait and see what happens. |

Kennedy throws simulated game
Updated: September 8, 2009, 2:19 PM ET
Associated Press
TAMPA, Fla. -- Yankees pitcher Ian Kennedy felt good after his first game-type action since surgery in May to remove an aneurysm below his right biceps.
Kennedy threw 22 of 35 pitches for strikes over two innings in a simulated game against Yankees minor leaguers on Tuesday. The right-hander said it remains doubtful he will make an appearance in a minor league playoff this season, but he is set to pitch in the instructional league later this month and the Arizona Fall League.
The 24-year ...

A quick question...
in weighing whether to stick with glasses or go with laser eye surgery (PRK, LASIK, or LASEK), has shooting/self-defense played any role in your decision-making process?
And for those who've had the laser procedure...has it been only positive for your marksmanship, training, acquiring the sights, etc... or has there been a drawback or disappointment along the way?
BTW, I'm quickly heading into my late 40's...and have relatively poor eyesight
(near-sighted astigmatism) and am trying to decide whether it's worth the money for the overall quality of life.

Two years ago Ontario pension legislation was changed to provide for new rules that will make asset transfers and the merger of two or more pension plans much simpler. These are welcome changes since it has been expensive, and sometimes legally impossible, to merge pension plans under the current rules.
Unfortunately, employers cannot proceed under the new rules yet. Specific regulations are required to implement them. The Ontario government announced in its 2012 budget that these regulations would be released this spring, but we haven't seen anything yet. Plan sponsors wishing to take advantage of the simpler asset transfer and plan merger rules will have to wait a bit longer.

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.

Al-Quds in Arabic
In its 350-word editorial, on page 18, entitled "Dear Arab Brothers"
Al-Quds says that "the Palestinian Authority [PA] is adopting a clear
political line based upon rejection of negotiations along with ongoing
Israeli settlement activity. This line is coupled with serious and
continuous pursuits to obtain international recognition of our state
within the borders of 1967, including Jerusalem." Al-Quds adds: "Israel
has reacted to this approach with a wide counter pursuit, while the
Quartet adopted a manoeuvring position that tries to be independent, but
in fact it is just a complementary role to the Israeli one." Al-Quds
says: "The Quartet has failed to reach any clear statement or stance,
and called for resuming the talks without any binding terms of reference
on the Israeli side." Al-Quds opines that "the fully biased US
Congress's position towards Israel, was the most clear indication of the
PA's financial crisis when the congress called for halting all aid ! if
the PA goes to the United Nations or proceeds with reconciliation and
restores national unity." Al-Quds says: "It is neither understandable
nor reasonable that the Arab world -- with all its billions, oil, and
enormous wealth -- is unable to replenish this PA's budget deficit while
it never stops issuing statements that support September UN Bid and
stress keenness on our land, future, and rights."
Al-Ayyam in Arabic
Al-Ayyam publishes a 700-word commentary by Talal Awkal on page 22
titled: "After the Quartet Lost Its Meaning for Existence" in which he
opines that "the Quartet has been suffering from a chronic disability
since it was established in 2002 as an international mechanism to
implement the road map plan proposed by the administration of former US
President George Bush." He goes on to say: "It was very stupid to expect
that the recent Quartet's meeting , held in Washington mid of this week,
would result in a statement that may rescue the Palestinian-Israeli
negotiations. The inability of the Quartet to issue a joint position or
statement regarding the resumption of talks proves that this mechanism
[the Quartet] has lost its authority, importance, and role; and, that
the last meeting was simply a way to cover up the American failure to
achieve anything tangible in the peace process." In closing he says:
"The Palestinian inclination to go to the United Nations to ob! tain a
full membership of the state, that the Palestinians seek to obtain
approval and recognition of its borders, should be developed by making
it clear, and moving the file of conflict from the hand of the United
States and the Quartet to the United Nations."
Al-Ayyam publishes a 550-word commentary by Hasan al-Batal on page 22
titled: "The 59th Minute" in which he opines that "no presidential
statement has been issued by the Quartet's ministers because the parties
disagreed over a US rule, that is the Jewish identity of the State of
Israel, which was opposed by the Palestinians since it was launched as
an Israeli condition (and became American!) and was supported by Russian
Minister Sergey Lavrov and others." The writer says that "if Hillary
Clinton was judicious, she would have postponed the issue of the Jewish
identity of Israel, or even linked it to the progress in talks according
to the two rules of: 1967 borders and their interchangeable amendments,
like what President Obama did when he delayed the issues of Jerusalem
and the refugees into a further stage." Al-Batal opines that "the
Palestinian are not worried -- as they are the real Arab opposition
force - of the positive voting in the United Nations General! Assembly,
or even of the negative voting in the UNSC (the US veto). However, what
should make them worry is the impact of the Quartet failure on the
opportunities to convene the second Paris Conference to support the PA
financially, as it undergoes a severe financial crisis. Hence, the Arab
Peace Initiative Follow-up Committee should not only request a
Palestinian membership [in the United Nations] but should rather urge
the Arab member countries to pay their overdue obligations since First
Paris Conference."
Al-Hayah al-Jadidah (Electronic Edition) in Arabic
In his 500-word column "Signs on the Road," on page 5, in Al-Hayah
Al-Jadidah under the title "Is the Quartet Resigning Its Role?" Yahya
Rabah opines that "Unfortunately, the Quartet's meeting did not provide
answers to any questions regarding the stalled peace process, or
Palestinian reconciliation, or the Palestinian United Nations
initiative, which makes us feel that the Quartet is resigning from its
role." He adds: In such a failure, which is, of course, caused by the US
Administration, the Palestinians have no choice but to go to the UN to
counter the obviously increasing American bias towards Israel."

~ ONION SEED: NORMAL BULB ONIONS ~ Many people grow onions from seed as it is so much cheaper than from sets, Onions won't germinate in cold soil, and need quite a long time to make a bulb, Easy Option 1 - Indoors
Easy Option 2 - Outdoors
Harder (but bigger onions) Option 3 - Overwinter
The only other thing to remember is that Onions HATE shading. Right, now that's explained, on to the Onions! Early Paris White EARLY SOWING We've chosen this cold-hardy onion as a good variety to try for overwintering, giving you very nice white onions early in the year when they are most appreciated. Not huge, but it is very cold hardy, and quite early. It is also sown in spring for producing small white bulb onions to use fresh, so you can do half your packet each way. For full-size onions: For baby onions: Not a storage onion, this is one for eating fresh as and when you harvest it. Order OnPE 350 seed £ Stock: Yellow Rynsburger - LONG STORAGE We have chosen it because it stores for a long time after harvest, so a great one for all your winter cooking. Sow in spring for harvest in August/September, it will store overwinter. One of the most-grown onions in the UK, because it keeps so well. Order OnYR 350 seed £ Stock: Liria A traditional onion named after the town in Valencia, Spain, where it has been grown for centuries. It has large round brown bulbs, that are sweet and spicy. We've found it to be a really reliable variety, producing a good harvest that is ready a little earlier than the Yellow Rynsburger, but still stores pretty well. This variety is normally sown in Spring for harvest in Autumn, but you can also try sowing it after midsummer as an overwintering onion. Larger packet at a very reasonable price! Order OnLi 600 seed £ Stock: Sturon Onion Sow this in Spring for autumn harvest. (But as it is quite cold-hardy, you could also experiment with some seed sown in August as an overwintering onion - if it works you will get very big onions the next year.) Traditional for early sowing in Spring. Order OnST 600 seed £ Stock: Amposta - RED This is a nice, widely adapted pale red onion which we have chosen for the sweetness of the bulbs. Sow it in Spring for Autumn harvest. The round bulbs are a mellow red colour, and they store quite well for a while. Red sweet bulbs, use by midwinter. Order OnAM 350 seed £ Stock: Red Brunswick Onion - PURPLE It produces a good crop of medium-sized, slightly flattened red bulbs by late summer. Best used fresh, but it can store quite well. Purple and sweet. Sow in Spring - don't try to overwinter this one as it's not very cold hardy. Order OnRB 350 seed £ Stock: ~ It is easy to grow SHALLOTS from Seed, too ~ Zebrune Shallot REALLY GOOD Shallots are similar to normal onions, but with a slightly different ancestry. They are narrower and longer, with a different mix of flavour compounds - less strongly 'oniony', and therefore sweeter & milder to taste. They grow really well from seed, and Zebrune is a fairly modern variety; it makes bigger bulbs than traditional shallots, so there is less peeling to do, and it was deliberately selected for growing from seed rather than sets.

Walking down Horniman Circle, on Sunday afternoon, our lensman caught a tall, good looking, moustachioed man talking to a bus conductor.
It took him a second look to realise that it was none other than Akshay Kumar. On a sultry summer day, the actor was happily chatting up with the BEST employee in fluent Marathi. And that was between the shots of his upcoming heist film Special Chhabees.
We took this opportunity to catch a glimpse of the candid Kumar on the sets of the Neeraj Pande directed film. Akki, sporting a blue check shirt, pleated khakis and a tan leather belt, looking dishy. The shot involved a big BEST bus. And needless to say, the bus driver and the conductor had to be a part of it.
Akshay, who plays the lead role in this film based on one of the most shocking con jobs in India that happened in 1987 at Zaveri Bazaar, spent no time in befriending his co-actors - bus driver Vasant Goghe and conductor Pandurang Shinde. His other co-star Manoj Bajpai had already finished his day's work and left by then.
We spotted Akki talking to the two men in between the shots in rapid Marathi - asking them about their duty timings, life etc. It was an endearing moment. And a memorable one for the two BEST employees.

CIA drone strikes will get pass in counterterrorism 'playbook,' officials say
A member of parliament accused AMISOM forces of massacring civilians in Leego. Gunmen murdered a reporter in Mogadishu. AMISOM said it would train Somali police in Djibouti.
Shabaab said it would execute French hostage and intelligence agent Denis Allex. Police officials claimed to have detained 1,700 suspected Shabaab members in Mogadishu. Puntland security forces launched an operation in Galgala against Shabaab.
Sea piracy falls to 5-year low as Somali gangs retreat
Shabaab executes French hostage Denis Allex
"With the rescue attempt, France has voluntarily signed Allex's death warrant," the terror group said in an official statement. Shabaab later announced he was executed. The French intelligence agent has been held by Shabaab since July 2009.Shabaab releases photos of French commando captured in failed rescue mission
Shabaab displayed the body and equipment of a French commando who was wounded and captured late last week following a failed hostage rescue in Somalia, and later died. The terror group also said the "fate" of hostage Denis Allex will be announced soon.The government condemned France's attempt to free Denis Allex, who is being held by Shabaab. Witnesses in Daaydoog claimed the French troops killed civilians before attempting the rescue, which led Somalis to warn Shabaab of the raid. Shabaab executed two civilians in Jilib.

Omar Hammami's personal dispute with Shabaab
The American jihadist's rants against Shabaab indicate a personal feud with the al Qaeda affiliate, and not a wider split between Somali jihadists and foreign fighters.A UN report shows that increasing cooperation between Somalia's Shabaab and the Ugandan rebel group Allied Democratic Forces is spreading instability across the region. African Union forces launched a major offensive against Shabaab militants along the Ballidoogle-Leego road, approximately 120 kilometers northwest of Mogadishu.

I agree. I don't know why Paphs are not more popular as they are so easy. I think it is a lot to do with the price/ profit margin. Because they can't be mericloned they are less profitable. PS "I love the idea of 'Catts in a bag'". Can I requote you on that one! |

collected the seeds from some grape hyacinths.(small black round seeds). is there any preperation like putting them throught a cold cycle before planting them? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'm wondering if they might need a dry season before breaking dormancy in autumn with the early rains and then growing on over the winter in the usual way of most Muscari. Sow now and expect sprouts in the cooler days. Definitely excellent drainage. Perhaps some sun shelter depending on the species. I've noticed that some seedling bulbs grow on through a 'usually dormant' season - probably to get enough size before taking the risk of dormancy with such a small bulb mass. So you might need to factor that in. |
- Posted by duluthinbloomz4 (My Page) on Fri, Jul 17, 09 at 14:40
In zone 6, I don't think any additional prep is necessary. In fact, had you not collected the seeds, they would have fallen naturally around the parent plant, worked their way into the soil and produced new little bulbs all on their own increasing your stock. I let mine reseed as they will and find them coming up in unexpected places. But, I'm no expert - just an observer of what goes on in my own (zone 4, however) gardens. |
To duluthinbloomz4; do you think if i place 6 or so seeds in pots they will produce small bulbs over the winter?i can take them inside to my basement green house for the real cold months. |
- Posted by duluthinbloomz4 (My Page) on Sun, Jul 19, 09 at 16:41
You could try it. I've never grown them in pots simply because they're perfectly hardy in zones 3-9 and do so well out in the garden on their own. And we get sustained periods of -30 degree temps and windchills down to -50. They don't need to be brought in over the winter months; especially if those you put in pots are buried up to the rim in your garden (easy to keep track of the container and to see exactly what the germination rate is) as opposed to leaving them in an exposed pot on a patio, etc. Be worth an experiment if you have a good supply of seeds -Sow some directly and sow some in pots; bury some pots and bring a pot in to your greenhouse. See what you get. The beauty of these little bulbs is that they're inexpensive and available anywhere plants are sold. I, for one, wouldn't buy these from any other source than one of the big boxes. I know there are people out there who believe the only good bulb is a bulb you order from a catalog, but I don't happen to be one of them. Just a personal preference; nothing against mail order. |
to deluthinbloomz4; i will try it.i usually do bury my young plants in my veg. garden over winter with good results.(buf. n.y.) |

Casting Couch: 'Sin City: A Dame to Kill For' Adds Three More Actors You Like, Kate Winslet Will Help Alan Rickman Create 'A Little Chaos,' and More
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on January 18, 2013 | Be the First To CommentWhat is Casting Couch? It's the casting column that lives on because Kate Erbland was goodly enough to step in and keep it going for a couple days. Let's all thank Kate. Thanks, Kate. Usually when movies are already filmed it means that their casting process has been completed. Not so for a Robert Rodriguez film, though. This guy does pretty much every job on his sets and relies on studio assistance for very little, which allows him to play by his own rules and march to the beat of his own drummer. Sometimes that opportunity for flexibility can result in movies that feel like they've been slapped together by a madman, but sometimes it leads to a movie being able to make amazing last minute additions, like how his in-production Sin City sequel just added Ray Liotta, Juno Temple, and Jeremy Piven to its already-stacked cast. Indiewire isn't sure which characters they're going to be playing, but probably that doesn't matter much. Liotta and Piven always just play themselves, and Temple, well…she can do anything she wants.
Casting Couch: George Clooney Circling Brad Bird's Top Secret Project, Anne Hathaway Ready to Face the 'Robopocalypse,' and More
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on November 12, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWhat is Casting Couch? The day's casting news, all in one place, because you're a very busy person. At this point we don't know anything concrete about the secret project Brad Bird is directing over at Disney. It's largely being developed under the code name 1952, but for a minute it was being called Tesla. It's rumored to be a science fiction film involving aliens, but in what regard isn't clear. It's said that Disney is thinking of it as a major tentpole release, but why it would have such mass appeal is being kept under wraps. All we have is rumors. And the latest rumor for the pile, courtesy of Variety, is that The Facts of Life star George Clooney is currently negotiating to star. If this proves to be true and Bird lands Clooney, that would be a pretty big step toward making this the blockbuster sort of feature that Disney wants it to be. And, generally, what Disney wants, Disney gets.
'Snowtown Murders' Director Justin Kurzel Will Be John Le Carre's 'Kind of Traitor'
Movie News By Scott Beggs on May 8, 2012 | Be the First To CommentA sweet couple! A Russian traitor! A defection! John Le Carre is a fairly hot writer right now. After one of his novels was adapted every few years, the rate is growing exponentially since Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. There's also A Most Wanted Man in the works, and now Our Kind Of Traitor. The script comes from Drive screenwriter Hoss Amini, and according to THR, Justin Kurzel has been hired to direct. Independent filmmakers have keyed into the fact that we as an audience are definitely into dark, interesting, complex material. Thus, it makes sense that the spymaster Le Carre is en vogue. The other trend at work here? Australians are invading. If we're not careful, we'll all be watching crime dramas and eating Vegemite. Nothing to complain about, really. Now what other Le Carre work should see the big screen?

After a school has been labeled "failing" and becomes a recipient of a School Improvement Grant, their District must choose one of four interventions:
* Transformation, where the principal is fired, instructional strategies are revamped, and the school day is extended
* Turnaround, where the principal and at least half the staff is fired.
* Restart, where the school is closed and reopened as a charter (or it can stay open with staff in place if it works with an "educational partnership organization" — see comment below by Will E.)
* Close/Consolidate, where the school is…closed, and students sent elsewhere.
This is just a beginning list of related resources, and I hope that readers suggest others.
Here are my picks for The Best Resources For Learning About The Four School Improvement Grant Models:
I've got to start off with article in the Huffington Post by one of my favorite writers on school issues, John Thompson. Check out As School Turnarounds Strike Out, Try, Try Again.
The National Education Association Priority Schools program has some useful materials:
Strengthening Our Schools: A New Framework and Principles for Revising School Improvement Grants is by Congresswoman Judy Chu.
Talk Priority Schools has a collection of excellent SIG-related articles.
Struggling Schools and the Problem with the "Shut It Down" Mentality is by Robert Slavin at Ed Week.
What Works in School Turnarounds? is by Alan M. Blankstein and Pedro Noguera.
Giving Parents the Runaround on School Turnarounds is the title of the press release from the respected Great Lakes Center announcing a review of a recent report on marketing unwise "school turnaround strategies." Here's an excerpt from the press release:
Federal school "turnaround" strategies that call for firing teachers, replacing managers, or closing or converting public schools into charters are often met with resistance and anger among the parents whose children attend those schools. A recent study released by Public Agenda which focuses on how to market the concept of turnaround strategies fails to address the substantive concerns of resistant parents nor questions the soundness of these strategies as a way to improve schools, according to a new Think Twice review.
The report, What's Trust Got to Do With It? A Communications and Engagement Guide for School Leaders Tackling the Problem of Persistently Failing Schools, was reviewed for the Think Twice think tank review project by William J. Mathis, an education researcher and former school superintendent who has studied school turnaround strategies.
You can read the full review here.
Turnarounds: The SIG Mystery is a post from Alexander Russo that in turn links to a three part series in the Denver Post about the mystery of School Improvement Grants.
Flipping the Script on Turnarounds: Why not Retain Teachers instead of Reject Them? is by Anthony Cody at Education Week. He has also written Spinning the Numbers on Turnarounds: School Improvement Grant Controversy Brews.
SIG Failure Explained is by John Thompson.
The Paradoxical Logic of School Turnarounds: A Catch-22 is from Larry Cuban's blog.
Democratic School Turnarounds: Pursuing Equity and Learning From Evidence is a brief from The National Education Policy Center. Valerie Strauss at The Washington Post has also written about it.
Ed. Dept. Analysis Paints Mixed Picture of SIG Program is from Education Week.
Why the School Turnaround Experiment Is Failing is by John Thompson.
"They didn't come in and try to say that we needed to do everything differently"
Which Way Up: At a Glance is from The Center For Public Education and is a report on School Improvement Grants.
Performance Beyond Expectations is a report by Andy Hargreaves and Alma Harris that covers a lot of important topics. However, because of its comments related to "turnarounds," I'm adding it to this list.
The Characteristics Of SIG Schools is from The Shanker Blog.
Federal analysis of school grants shows mixed results is from The Washington Post.
School Improvement Grant Program Gets Mixed Grades in Ed. Dept. Analysis is from Education Week.
The Predictable Failure of School Improvement Grants is by John Thompson.
Interesting SIG vs. non-SIG comparisons is from The Thomas Fordham Institute.
A Third Of Schools Saw Scores Fall After Getting Federal Grants is from The Huffington Post.
Ed Dept. pours $43 million into reform program with questionable results is from The Washington Post.
New SIG Analysis Yields Same Old Conclusion: Mixed Results is from Ed Week.
Are School Turnaround Efforts Overlooking English-Learners? is from Education Week.
Education Department Proposes Big Changes to School Improvement Grant Program is from Ed Week.
This is obviously not a complete list, and I hope readers can suggest more resources.
