Drug task force arrests two repeat offenders on drug charges
Members of the Martha's Vineyard Drug Task Force went to a house at Mariner's Road in Tisbury on March 19, where they arrested two men with histories of previous drug violations. Police suspected the pair of continuing to deal heroin.
Asa W. French of Oak Bluffs, 28, the target of the investigation, according to the police report, was arrested for possession with intent to distribute heroin and conspiracy to violate drug laws.
Arrested on the same charge was Matthew P. Tucci, 31, who gave a Boylston address. Mr. Tucci, a registered sex offender with a history of drug violations, was only recently released from the Dukes County House of Correction after completing his sentence following a previous arrest on drug charges. Police also charged Mr. Tucci with failing to register as a sex offender with Tisbury police after moving to Tisbury, as the law requires.
Bail was set at $2,000 for Mr. French following his arrest on March 19. He remained in the Dukes County jail in Edgartown until his scheduled arraignment on March 21 in Edgartown District court where bail was revoked and he was held on probation violations.
Mr. Tucci was released March 19, on $2,500 cash bail. His freedom was short. At his arraignment Friday, his bail was revoked, and he was held on probation violations. Both men are currently being held in the Dukes County jail.
Baggies lead to arrest
About 2:30 pm, on March 19, drug task force members went to the door at 73 Mariner's Road. Finding it locked, officers announced they were there with a search warrant and knocked open the door.
Police found Mr. French, Mr. Tucci, who was just exiting the bathroom, and a 26-year-old woman in the basement, according to the police report.
"A quick look around the room," Edgartown detective Michael Snowden wrote in his report, "revealed used needles and several used/scrapped cellophane baggies. A search of Tucci revealed approximately $2,519 total in U.S. currency; $2,000 in one pocket and $519 in the other pocket. Tucci informed me that he did not have a job at this time and that he just got out of jail. Tucci stated that he had no place to go and that he was staying with French for the time being."
The search turned up baggies missing the bottom corners, a way, police said, "to package narcotics for distribution." Police also found a bus ticket from Worcester to Woods Hole dated March 16, with Mr. Tucci's name on it. Police said based on information in the past, Mr. Tucci's heroin connection "was indeed in Worcester."
The woman, who was not arrested, told police "she had recently had a relapse of using heroin after being clean for two years. She continued to say that Tucci most likely had the heroin on him and before entry he was in the bathroom shooting up."
Police said that based on the large amount of money found on Mr. Tucci, the baggies with missing corners all through the bedroom, and a small amount of a brown, powdery substance "believed to be heroin," police arrested both men.
No let up
Commenting on the arrests in a telephone conversation Tuesday, Mr. Snowden, a member of the drug task force, said task force members would continue to put the pressure on those who deal drugs on the Island.
"It just shows — everybody we work with — we are not going to stop," Mr. Snowden said. "We are constantly doing work, we are constantly out there, we are constantly gathering information to put the puzzle together, and just because somebody got out of jail a week ago, it does not mean they are not going to get right back at it."
Detective Snowden pointed to the task force, made up of police officers from across the Island and the State Police, and its track record of numerous arrests over the past 18 months.
"We have definitely had our foot on the pedal," he said. "We are always going to be out there, we are always going to be doing our job."
Detective Snowden said it is gratifying to have the support of the community. "Sometimes it feels like we are going backwards, but you can't win if you don't try," he said.
Seven weeks earlier
On February 5, members of the task force arrested Mr. French as he stepped off the Patriot passenger commuter boat in Oak Bluffs Harbor.
Oak Bluffs Police Lieutenant Tim Williamson said Mr. French was carrying 10 grams of heroin in his pants at the time of his arrest. He was charged with possession with intent to distribute heroin and taken to the Dukes County Jail. He was arraigned the following morning, February 6, and released on $400 bail.
At the time of his arrest last month, Mr. French was on probation in connection with a prior conviction. On July 26, 2013, Mr. French was sentenced to one year in the house of correction and ordered to serve 60 days with 18 months' probation following his conviction on a charge of larceny from a building.
Repeat offender
On March 6, Mr. Tucci walked out of the Dukes County House of Correction.
A little more than one year earlier, on January 23, 2013, Edgartown District Court Presiding Justice H. Gregory Williams revoked bail for Mr. Tucci following his arraignment on charges of dealing heroin and failing to register as a level 3 sex offender.
At the time, Mr. Tucci was also free on bail from Worcester District Court, where he also faced heroin dealing charges.
Mr. Tucci was sentenced to 2.5 years in the house of correction, 18 months committed. The Worcester charge netted him a one year sentence.
In their report, police described a long investigation of Mr. Tucci as a drug suspect, including surveillance of drug transactions by task force officers.
Mr. Tucci had a five-page record of criminal offenses, including several drug convictions resulting in jail sentences, probation violations, and warrant defaults, according to court records.
In April of 2002, he was convicted of statutory rape and abuse of a child in Dukes County Superior Court. According to a published report in the Vineyard Gazette, a jury took just two hours to convict Mr. Tucci, 19, of raping a 15-year-old girl in a late night incident in Oak Bluffs and of procuring alcohol for a minor. Judge Barbara J. Rouse sentenced Mr. Tucci to serve a full five years at the Massachusetts Correctional Institution at Cedar Junction,
Following his conviction in that case, he was ordered to register as a Level 3 sex offender. A Level 3 sex offender is defined by the sex offender registry board as an individual with a high risk of reoffending, to the degree that the danger posed to the public warrants active community notification.
At the time of his conviction on the rape charge, Mr. Tucci was serving a 23-month sentence in the Edgartown House of Correction for a breaking and entering conviction.
In November 1999, Mr. Tucci, then 17 and living in Edgartown, was one of three teens arrested in connection with a series of house and motor vehicle burglaries.
For more about the arrest and release history of Mr. Tucci, see this week's At Large column.
The revolving door of justice continues to go round and round.
Why are they always given such low bail? These people have access to lots of cash and can easily make bail. Give the police a chance and don't let them out!
So much for prison rehab…
If the task force knows what ferry they are on why not have them arrested on the mainland let alone where their sources are? I will be impressed when they eliminate these types showing up here as if it is open season all year. The low bail feeds the notion come on by folks we have quite a comfy jail here too.
they have to be within their jurisdiction to make the arrest.
What we have here is a failure to communicate. The off island location just might have a local Andy and Barney ( Drug task force)who know the perp too. Most likely have a clue on his source as well. If within the Commonwealth and using State Police resources …. hmm might have a clue who in the OTHER jurisdiction can keep the person in their system not the Island's." Here I am to save the day" works in cartoons not well managed law enforcement. The out of state types are federal types. Is anyone listening ? How about Federal grant to watch all external ATM locations with video?
Think about your comment.
A. Do you really want the government watching you withdraw money?
B. do you really want your tax dollars spent on allowing the federal government to invade your life even more?
C. The police have enough of our money to effectively do their job.-
Across America this is done in almost every major city and the feds pay for it not the respective little town. The police on this Island do not get adequate funding for the "season".. I am deeply saddened by your choosing not to acknowledge a failure to access resources of other municipalities to address the issues their residents of criminal intent bring to a place you just might perhaps call your home. If we are funding observing their constituents while in those other towns why are the taxpayers here being hung out to dry to say the least.

Assuming you are getting the same error.
What is the anti virus software you have, do you have any other operating system installed with 3rd party boot load manager?
Using PC Tools Spyware Doctor (w/ AnitVirus). No other OS or 3rd party boot load manager.
Do you have an option to disable antivirus completely and reboot the machine ? then try and install.
if it fails, try a windows repair
FINALLY! It's installed (turned off anti-virus). But now I have an issue with the activation code. Will let you know if it persists.
Am having similar issue with that of Maya 2013. It's the same anchor error. AND my AVG anti-virus was disabled at time of installation.
never mind. RESOLVED.
I looked up the bunch of errors i got and was about the forum.
What i did was to:
go to my c:/user/documents/maya folder and delet the .env file there
go to C:\ProgramData and delete FLEXnet
These items would later recreate themselves once you run maya.
Apparently,they were keeping the licensing from making new files =/
Anyway,was on the verge of a system restore(was opened on my desktop) when i tried this last attempt.AND IT WORKED!Can fulfill my deadline now=)

I got him a card and will make heart/pink pancakes in the morning.
He's on my sh** list right now because I have to clean the house before relatives get here tommorrow and instead of helping me he is going out for wings and beer with his boys. (he goes out every wed and it usually doesn't bother me, but he should have helped last nigt then) arghh!
I'm not big on Vday. I'd rather get flowers some other random day than tommorrow.
We aren't big V-day celebrators. DH might get me a card or something. We don't spend a lot of money on gifts, so V-day is something that gets put on the backburner. We are going out without the kids on Friday night, but it's to a church function, so not really exciting!
I'm planning on making some sugar cookies with the kids today. Tomorrow they'll take Valentine's to school for their friends, but that's about it
DH's birthday is a few days after Valentines Day so we rarely do much. We'll probably get take out and watch a movie after the kids go to bed. If DH stops working a a reasonable hour, its good enough for me. We don't do gifts really. I'll help the kids make him a Valentine and he usually brings us home a treat of some sort.
We don't normally do much. Maybe a balloon or a card. But this year I bought DH a chain to put his wedding ring on in the winter months, and to wear as is in the summer months. I gave it to him 2 weeks ago, but told him happy valentines month! So I think he might feel like he should do something for me. However, I also think there is a 99% chance that he will TOTALLY forget tomorrow is valentine's day. So probably nothing!
Valentine's day has long ago stopped being about DH and I. The kids and I actually made heart cookies today, and they made cards for each other and some of their friends. We will go shopping on Friday, and they can each pick out a treat on clearance.
I don't really get into the smaller holidays. In our house, the big ones are Christmas, Easter and the Super Bowl.
but he does have Friday off work for my ultrasound and we do have a babysitter for the afternoon to go eat at the new brick oven, REAL pizza place near his parents. But it just happens to be V-Day. We have always gone out after the big ultrasound.
We aren't really doing anything. I'll put a lot of heart shaped food in DD's daycare lunch which is always fun. I also got her a stuffed puppy and a small thing of chocolates. DH and I aren't celebrating this year. We normally go out for dinner but he's doing this no-carb thing this week and we're saving for our trip. I was going to do take out before he started his silly no carb thing...blah. We'll eat out on our trip a bunch I'm sure!
DH gave me some flowers, a cute teddy bear that says princess on it (haha) and a really sweet card that MIGHT have made me cry. I gave him a card, some hefty socks and some silk boxers with hearts on them. Nothing really expensive or anything. We'll take his mom out with us for Valentines Day this weekend. I think we'll go to Red Lobster.
We don't really celebrate it. Partly because we are cheap, and partly because I would rather him show me affection because he wants to not because of a silly holiday.

I just read a Newsarama interview with Charles Soule, the current Swamp Thing writer. He referred to Abby as Anton's daughter, and I knew that was wrong. I googled it and Wikipedia seems to indicate that the New 52 changed the relationship from Uncle/Niece to Father/Daughter. I don't have my comics handy right now, but if that's true, we need to edit this page.

Ostrander is my favorite writer. Wish he could just write a Martian Manhunter monthly again
Was he really that good of a writer when he wrote for Martian Manhunter?
Yes would be my answer. I loved his run on Martian Manhunter. It was a seriously underrated comic.
I was bonkers for this issue. I loved the reporter with the press pass hanging out in the seedy internet cafe and his shady dealings with the Yancy-Streeters. The Allred take on the classic cut-scene of the Baxter Building was also a gem. I loved this issue.
Honestly, I'm not yet convinced this is an actual new direction. This issue spent way too much time building up Zavimbe's personal mission for me to think he's leaving this title. I actually suspect that the recruitment of a new Batwing is actually part of Zavimbe's chess-game against Philip Marksbury, giving Marksbury a false target to draw his attention away from Zavimbe himself.
I actually hope that's the case. As interesting as Luke Fox may end up being, I'd rather read about David Zavimbe. Whatever qualities Luke Fox can bring to this role, he will never really be the Batman of Africa. That's the concept I am in this comic for.
This smelled like a set-up to me. I think Zavimbe is playing a game and is actually using Batman himself as one of his pawns.
As Batwing, he knows his options are extremely limited against a foe like Philip Marksbury. It looked, to me, like he was intentionally provoking Marksbury. Zavimbe said "...I'm going to make sure your life gets harder and harder..." and Marksbury responds by calling Batwing a dead man.
My guess: Zavimbe, knowing that Batman is committed to the Batwing concept, would recruit a replacement. Zavimbe has intentionally put a target on that new Batwing. While Philip Marksbury attempts to take revenge on Batwing (Luke Fox), Zavimbe will be doing an end-around in a costume without the bat-symbol, now clearly willing to kill.
Remember Zavimbe's speech on pg. 6? "I want to kill him, but not in this suit, not with the Batman's symbol on my chest. This symbol has to stay pure."

By CHRIS RASMUSSEN
Luckily it's a short walk.
Today is traditionally the last day of the Royals' season for most local sports fans.
Sure, the Royals muddle through for another five weeks, but tomorrow begins Chiefs Pretend Football, and local fans need to obsess over assessing the relative qualities of players they won't watch in September.
What have we learned this Royals season?
Well, we found out about our young players. Unfortunately, we have less to work with than we initially thought.
Dayton Moore can fix some of the offensive deficiencies. Although the organization might think Aviles is not the long-term solution at short, it is also clear that the historically bad Tony Peña will not, or at least, should not play next season for the Royals. Ditto for Ross Gload – although he provides competent defense at first, we need a player at first base who can hit and hit well.
Another more disturbing problem involves two players, both of whom have disappointed. First, Alex Gordon is a decent hitter at the big-league level. After logging 914 at bats in the majors, it is clear that at this point he is not that good of a hitter and certainly less than advertised. Yes, he might improve in coming years, but that's a hope and not a plan. Second, we knew before the season that Billy Butler was indifferent on the basepaths and incompetent in the field. Nevertheless, he was supposed to offset that by being a terrific designated hitter – and he was not this year or last.
The long-term problem is Moore himself. I'm not going into the Jose Guillen drama again, but one thing is clear about Moore's acquisition of Guillen, Pea and Miguel Olivo. Dayton Moore signed three tools-based players who do not draw walks. That's fine, I guess, but if you guess wrong on a player (Peña) or a player somehow deteriorates (Guillen, in his low stretches), those players become incredibly unproductive. Drawing walks is an offensive skill, one as important as power or speed and not likely to be taught to an older player.
There were positive signs. Dayton Moore knows pitching. Gil Meche is still worth the money, to every other baseball executive's surprise. Zach Greinke is a solid pitcher and Luke Hochevar appears to be a competent major league pitcher, if not one deserving of the No. 1 overall pick. Joakim Soria is awesome and Ron Mahay close to it.
An old cliché states that pitching is the commodity of baseball. Soon, the Royals might need to use that commodity to buy hitting.
Showing 1-4 of 4

Recent Comments:
Breakfast Topic: I fell asleep at Majordomo Executus {WoW}
May 24th 2010 8:47AM Oh, i have sooo many, but the main one has to be this:
Lets set the case:
While I'm at college, I usually raid while I'm sitting on my bed with the laptop on my lap. If its a difficult boss or something, I set the laptop on a nearby chair. Its uncomfortable but it works for short durations.
Now at Lady Deathwhisper, in the middle of the fight, I accidentally hit what ever key it was to switch my main bar up to the other bars. I never realized it and hit 1, which was set up on that bar as a hearthstone. I wasn't looking down at it, since I've memorized my key locations. Lets just say, I ended up in Dalaran and the raid wiped. *Sigh*
The Queue: Worgen for the weekend {WoW}
May 22nd 2010 1:27PM Omg, I never knew about any of those! *suddenly heads out on an epic quest to find them all* Oh wait, that sounds too much like pokemon.
Would these be counted as easter eggs? Or just something cute? I mean easter eggs technically were for programmers to be able to test out the game at certain points. Like hit this x number of times and get unlimited lives.
Video game world size compared {WoW}
May 19th 2010 1:35PM What no comparison of Runescape's world map? *dodges the objects being thrown at her* Okay, so its not as epic as WoW but it was the first mmorg I ever played, so it has a special place in my heart. Heck, I still have the same character I created those nine years ago...I log on there when Wow's servers are down for maintenance. Not scared to admit it.
As for the size of the Wow map as a whole, I think its the perfect size. A player has areas where others congregate, places where one runs into others occasionally, and spaces where one would probably never see anyone *EVER*. Its extra good if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle without truly cutting yourself off from the rest of society.
If I remember Guild Wars, the only time you'd see other players outside of city hubs was if you grouped with them. While that is lovely for stopping others from stealing your kill or loot, it made it feel more like a regular game that added mmorg as a extra treat. By having the chance of running into other players in areas, Wow feels more lively, realistic and less programed.
Also to point out that just because a game has a bigger map means it is a better game. After all, the player will probably have to traverse that entire length before they get short cuts so they don't have to again. And we all know how much people enjoy driving uber long trips in real life, so one would expect the player to have little interest in doing that in a game for very long. Unless that journey was interesting, but lets face it, having a bigger map means that sometimes the programmer has to cut back on intricate content to work to cover this entire range.
Breakfast Topic: Roto-scoping is not animation {WoW}
May 12th 2010 2:03PM Okay, being an animation student, I might be able to clear up any confusion about rotoscoping.
It was originally a technique where animators trace over live-action footage (usually pre-taped) frame by frame on a frosted glass panel. The projection machine itself was called the rotoscope. Of course as technology has advanced, so has the way of doing it. Now a days, we use computers.
Examples of this in actual animation: "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" in the "Yellow Submarine"
P.S. The Rotoscope was created by Max Fleischer. If non-animating folks don't know him, he's the guy who's studio popularized characters such as "Betty Boop" and "Popeye." This studio also produced the original "Superman" animated Cartoons.

May 3rd 2010 3:21PM The Orcs *did* technically kill the Night Elves demi-god, Centarius. The alliance did not. While we know that these Orcs were not completely acting with all their brain when this happened, they had been corrupted with fel blood. This single act completely and utterly ended any chance that they would ever be able to find allies among the Night Elves.
On another note: Malfurion actually still considered allying with Thrall, but Tyrande was against it. Because of that Malfurion decided not to.
A lack of Alliance pride {WoW}
Dec 9th 2009 9:24AM I think it has to do with the general plight of the horde as a whole. I mean, if you look at what has happened to the leaders you can't help but be sympathetic towards them.
Another biggie for my lack of, er well, pride for the Alliance is Varian is a leader too ruled by his emotions. His hatred for the Horde may be justified, but when one has a common enemy (who in this case can turn whoever dies back into something that will kill you), it is childish that he can't control his feelings long enough to see the advantage the Horde warriors would be to destroying the common enemy.

Aug 18th 2009 8:34AM I can kind of see what you are getting at with tanks. Back in BC, I would have never rolled as a tank with my druid because there was enough tanks to be had. Now in Wrath, there are very few healers or tanks.
Also in BC, after watching what kind of stress my healer friend was under with healing a group (and completely getting mad at the pug groups we were in when they would turn on her when we wiped since "she wasn't healing"), I had decided not to ever go restro. But due to may dungeon parties breaking apart because we just couldn't find a healer, I finally decided to turn my druid into a healer. Because of that, I can't seem to stop the requests coming in when I log on.

We've probably all heard the stories about an autograph experience gone wrong — i.e. no ink was signed — and the sour grapes that come with that. That's not what I'm talking about here. I'm talking about the experience of meeting that childhood icon — dare we say hero — and finding out that the player isn't as invested in what fans think as much as the fans are invested in him.

Less than 50 years ago, a two-speed automatic transmission wasn't uncommon. For decades, four gears were more than enough for your run-of-the-mill auto box. These days, though, five-speed automatics are considered behind the times and seven- and eight-speed gearboxes are already starting to replace six-speeds. Where does it all end? At nine gears, if you ask Mercedes-Benz.
According to Autocar, the minds at Mercedes-Benz's engineering department are hard at work on a new nine-speed automatic transmission for large-displacement engines. This new transmission is said to offer major increases in fuel economy and a significant reduction in CO2 emissions as the car's onboard computer would have more options for keeping the engine at its optimum speed under any condition.
While more ratios tend to mean more efficiency, Mercedes' engineers think they've reached the upper limit. At some point, packaging, weight and complexity all become issues and the tech wizards at Mercedes think that nine gears is the technological limit. Coincidentally, it's also what they believe to be the limit of customer's patience. After all, we're talking about luxury sedans, not 18-wheelers.
What do you think? While we here have lauded some vehicles with six or more cogs for their efficiency and smoothness, we've also found fault with indecisive transmissions that can't pick a gear and stick with it. From an enthusiast perspective, some have also complained that six gears is the most they want to shift through in manual mode, with seven or more proving frustrating.
Tell us you maximum gear count in the comments below.

OTTAWA - Liberal MP Ted Hsu says he won't run in next year's federal election because he wants to spend more time with his two young daughters.
The one-term MP announced his decision in a blog post today.
Hsu says he hopes to return to politics when his children are older.
Hsu succeeded former House of Commons speaker Peter Milliken in 2011 as the member of Parliament for Kingston and the Islands.
He graduated from Queen's University in Kingston, Ont., with a physics degree and later earned a doctorate in physics from Princeton University.
Hsu worked as a physics researcher and as an equities trader and financial manager before getting into politics.
Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau thanked Hsu for his service.
"Since entering politics in 2011, Ted has distinguished himself through his hard work, which has earned him the respect and trust of colleagues from all parties in the House of Commons," Trudeau said in a statement.
Several politicians took to Twitter to pay tribute to Hsu, including Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird.
"My best to @tedhsu on his future after 2015," Baird wrote. "A win for his family, but the House is losing a decent member of Parliament."

I want to lay ceramic tile over an existing vinyl floor which is in pretty good condition. I don't know how old the vinyl is but it may be from the 1970's. I was told that it would be better to remove the vinyl because the ceramic tile wouldn't stick well to it and also if the floors move (I live on a very high floor of an apartment building) the tiles might crack.
Is this true? Is it better to remove the old vinyl tile? |

When we put porcelain tile in our washroom we had carpet in there. When I hired the tile layers they said the cost of laying tile did not include removing glue down carpet. They merely put fortified thinset and screwed down underlayment (Hardy cement board I think) on that. They put regular thinset on that and set the tiles. I elected to use epoxy grout because my wife was worried about cleaning grout on that floor. That was about 4 years ago and we have had no problems with the install. I'm not sure if fortified thinset would stick to vinyl but a good tile setter should know. |

The only way to do the project right is to remove the vinyl. Tile over vinyl, or especially carpet, is just an insane half assery. |

Just thought I would let you know about my visit to this nursery. Harvey is the owner and lover of succulents. There is an amazing variety of plants there. Harvey has years of experience and is very generous with his advice. My main goal was to buy some Echinopsis hybrids and I was not disappointed in the amount available for sale. I only had room about as big as a shoe box in the car so I couldn't go crazy. The plants were on the ground so it was hard for me to read the labels and very few were flowering so hopefully I made some good selections. They all look fat and happy and are enjoying their view of Mission Beach before we head home. There is a section with show plants; it looked like there were some beauties there-I should have taken a picture of them. They were too large for me to even consider so I moved on. It was hot and I knew I didn't have much room so I didn't look through all the shade houses or outside plants. Harvey suggested that I come back in April when most of the Echinopsis are blooming. I can't do it in 2013, but I'm actually considering it the year after. You have to call or email before you go to make sure they are open. There is no mail order. |

Notolover, Nice place indeed, Yes Harvey has an amazing amount of experience and he's more than willing to share it freely just for the asking. Like I mentioned I live so close to this location and had nver heard of it till about 3 or 4 years ago and that was by chance too, I've told many about the place and they were likewise happy with what they found in their back yard.

notolover, Just curious, so how did you hear about the Mexican Hat Nursery in Riverside, Ca. anyway? Greg |
Hi Greg, I saw the nursery listed at the Cactus and Succulent plant mall. I check that site out once in a while to see if there are new mail order nurseries. But I'm always on the lookout for places that sell Echinopsis hybrids. I must say that most of the nurseries that I have visited over the years are owned by older people. It really makes me worry about the future of these privately owned specialty nurseries--how long will they be around? |

Sorry, I goofed. Columbine is what I meant to say. I've read that red columbine is a rich nectar source, equivalent to sugar at 2:1. It's said to attract hummingbirds. Mine is just starting to bloom, but I can't see it from the house. Anyone else have this? And if so, do the hummers like it? Also, what about the other columbines? Are they as good? I'm thinking about planting it everywhere there's a bare spot in front of a window. I planted a lot of Monarda this year, but they don't bloom til July. I need something hummers want in my front windows for May and June. What do you think? Also, what about heuchera? Has anyone seen hummers visiting this? |

I planted some last year but so far they have not made an appearance. I just bought 5 more so I hope they take hold. My hummers investigated the heuchera but were just too enamored with Monarda Jacob Cline and Raspberry Wine. For the early season, I get a few nice, big Fuchsia Gartenmeister - they use those pretty regularly and it will be a while before anything else gets going around here. We just had snow on Saturday so everything that is pushing out of the ground has had a little setback. I also had Cardinal flower `Victoria`which they investigated but passed over for the Monarda. |
Shilla, I don't know if the hummers actually visit them, but you will love these columbines. They are so vigorous and set so many blooms. Last year they went to seed before I noticed. I cut off the seed stalks and just put them on some bare ground with a few scraps of mulch on it, and this year several dozen new tiny seedlings came up. Other new little seedlings that must have planted themselves a bit earlier have actually set blooms at 3-4 inches high. The seedlings are so cute, tiny three-lobe leaves blue tinged red. Just so pretty. This year I'm going to put the seed stalks on the bare places that are in hard to dig places. I've also ordered three more to put in my office window, just in case hummers do like them. |

Thanks Robert, Lowes and Home Depot are a two hour round trip for me. But I usually go a few times a month or more if I have a big project. I am going to the local nursery today to replace my tomato and pepper plants that were fried by the winds this past week. They might just have some. I hope so, I need a little instant gratification this week. LOl My family are all from Oklahoma, some of my best memories are of spending summers in Pawnee, and I have an Aunt in Jenks. Such beautiful green lush tree covered landscape!! My parents moved to Southern New Mexico in 1956, so we made a few trips a year back to OK. And oh my, the fresh tomatoes were so delicious from the garden! Haven't had one that good in 20 years. LOL Good luck with your hummers, I think our winds should be blowing some your way... |

Debra, I figured there weren't any close to you but thought I'd bring it up! Lots of my family are from Texas and I'm hoping the winds will blow the hummers my way! Laugh. Mehitabel, Thanks for the heads up! I've never ordered from them but their plants look big and healthy. -Robert |

Well, I did not get my instant gratification with the Red Columbine, but I did get some pink and purple columbine. Also some dark red Verbena, so I will order today from Bluestone. I will probably plant the red columbine in Part shade, what do you think? |
Debra, mine is in part shade, I'd say more than half shade. Probably a couple of hours of sun a day. Maybe a little more. You will love it. I can't get over the tiny seedlings 3" high with a tiny flower on them. If you have the space you could get a 6' x 6' patch in one year from reseeding. The red is also visible a long way off, even a single flower shows up 30-40 feet away. Are your pink and purple the tall or short kind? I love columbines-- so graceful. |
- Posted by DebraV 6 TX Panhandle (email@example.com) on Wed, Apr 30, 14 at 16:57
They are so graceful. The pink and purple a "Songbird Robin" pink and a purple mix hybrid, so they won't be reseeding themselves. They are about 18" tall, and very rootbound, so I think they are about as big as they will get. I haven't tried any Columbine here, so I am curious to see how they do. By the time it gets really hot they will be finished blooming, I think. I planted them in with my sweet woodruff, that had a little Gray Hairstreak butterfly on them last week. I have completely run out of room this year. But I can find a place for the Red Columbine this year, and I have a great spot for them next year that I will be ready to dig. My sweet DD asked me to "please" not buy any more flowers this year! LOL So three red columbine will be my last purchase, maybe. I still need herbs! I have been planting non stop since march, and I am ready to just enjoy my labors of love. And water and deadhead..... Debra |
Yes, if you love flowers it's very hard to stop. I'm out of room, too. I've been scheming ways to turn part of the front lawn (in sun) to a flower bed without too much digging. I hope your columbines do well for you there. |
For future reference, the red wild-type columbine are easy to start from seed. They can be rather short-lived, but if you let a few go to seed, you won't ever be without them again. I find that the hummers like my red columbine and also the coral bells with tall red flowers that I have had for many years. I haven't seen them visiting the newer coral bells that I have with shorter stems or white flowers. Other flowers that I grow that they like include the annual Nicotiana AKA flowering tobacco, the not-hardy-for-me Salvia 'black and blue', the native honeysuckle Lonicera sempervirens 'Major Wheeler', and scarlet runner beans, an annual vine. (I live in an area with bears so I don't put out hummingbird feeders; I rely on having flowers all season that they visit.) |

Great pictures nhbabs. I have ordered Aquilegia Canadensis, I believe that is the tall red and yellow blooming Columbine. I hope it is anyway. I have Major Wheeler, just planted and several Sylvia Black and Blue, I hope they will be perennial for me. And have just planted soaked scarlet runner beans, so I hope they germinate well. I have the newer Coral Bells as well, I do have one with red blooms, but haven't seem them on anything yet. Not much blooming here yet. I'm learning... Debra |
Yes, the columbine in my photo is Aquilegia canadensis, the wild red and yellow columbine. |
- Posted by DebraV 6 TX Panhandle (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Tue, May 6, 14 at 22:20
Thanks nhbabs, that is good to know. I hope to get some seed this year or next. I was just wanting some now, I hope it will bloom this year, but if not, I can wait. Debra |
- Posted by DebraV 6 TX Panhandle (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Sat, Jun 21, 14 at 18:09
Well, to my surprise the Aquilegia Canadensis that I planted in May has started blooming. We have had hot and cold, and I guess just cool enough at night for it to bloom. Sweet! |
Great! This little thing just blooms its head off, even when only a few inches tall. Next year, you'll have dozens, hopefully. |

To date Codename Panzers series developer Stormregion has offered a solid RTS experience with its PC games that have stomped around the well-trodden World War II battlefield.
For its next title, it decided to steer away from D-Day and the Fall of Berlin and skip ahead a few years into the Cold War era.
So as not to confuse anyone about the game's new subject matter, it called it Codename Panzers: Cold War.
Previously Stormregion's told us it's introducing "as many new improvements as we could come up with". That was back in March 2007, but a couple of days ago David Huggele, QA lead tester at Cold War publisher 10Tacle Studios, breezed into town so we tapped him up to find out more...
(Don't forget to check out the 60 seconds of gameplay footage we've captured, on this page. Please be aware though that the footage is taken from the latest preview build and not the final product).
So how does Cold War tie in with the previous Codename Panzers games?
David Huggele: It's the Cold War, so World War II is over. You'll see some of the heroes from the former games appear. The story pretty much comes down to an airplane crash over Berlin, and it's a Russian fighter and an American supply plane. This is what sparks the war.
The Soviets invade Berlin, and you play on the NATO side and then on the Soviet side later on in the campaign. There's one big campaign with 18 missions - it's a campaign without any breaks in between.
Is it all large-scale battles, or is it a mixture of that and skirmish warfare?
Pretty much both. It depends on the mission. You'll have some big battles and kind of stealthy missions. Stormregion's tried to always present players with an additional way of solving objectives.
For example in mission three, you can research an amphibious upgrade for your APCs and then use that to traverse a river and attack a fortress from behind instead of going on a frontal assault through a mine field.
It's running on the developer's new Gepard 3 engine, isn't it. What are some of the new features that's introducing?
Huggele: Stormregion's completely built the new engine from scratch. Weather effects, for example, are a new addition to the engine and play a role in gameplay. In heavy rain, the water splashes of the ground and there's real-time reflections on objects.
And the sun's a moving light source, and when the sun's shinning on a point it'll illuminate the object and the object will reflect all the illuminations. You can see all the shadows moving. There's even shadows cast by smoke and fire.
When you play during rain or nightfall, your vision range gets decreased and your vehicles will move slower - but infantry will be fine. Additionally, during night time the hearing range will increase - there's hearing range in the game - because units have to rely more on this; their hearing range increases during night while they can see less.
We've seen a demo where a crane collapses in different directions depending on where it's been struck by a missile...
Huggele: The physics engine is another cool aspect of the technology. The doctrine of Stormregion is to give the player the option to either use an object or destroy it if they interact with it. They've tried to make as many objects as possible breakable.
The physics engine works in such a way that, if you destroy something multiple times, it'll never be destroyed in the same way.

This is from the VR8200/4200 manual: POWER UNIT: Hold-in current: 300 mA maximum. Drop-out current: 250 to 90 mA.
If your valves are 24v and they draw .5 amp as the pex supply listing shows for them that means you only need 12vA for each, i read somewhere on the forums here thatnyou should add a buffer for safety like 10 or 20%. All that said you should be okay, the vA shouldnt be your problem unless you are running other stuff off of it. Are you sure all you have on your 24v circuit is your gas valves? Also the transformer i bought can be wired three different ways to create different voltages. It can be a 6v ro a 12v or a 24v depending on how you connect it. What transformer did you endup with?
Ps my dad kept most of those genes too. He is a phd, i found a Local HS physics teacher/neighbor and A LOT of forum searching to figure out wiring my system!
Figured out my problem. For whatever reason, the LED lights were eating the voltage and not passing enough along to trigger the gas valves. I have DPDT switches, so I just wired the lights to the second pole and now my burners fire just fine! Still can't figure why I was getting the correct voltage on the meter with the bare wire, but not when connected to the valve - but with those lights wired in separately, everything's fine!
my build is complete. first brew is 9 days away! pics/write-up here:http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/its-brutus-10-a-363645/ Thanks for answering all my questions.
After scrutinizing this thread for many hours, I came to a revelation that cleared up so many things for me. Radio Shack 8-position jumper. Bump for my dumb ass figuring something out finally.
So when can I place an order for mine?
Hi, j Awesome build project. I'm doing one, too but not quite so fancy. Although your design has given me pause to reconsider and maybe add the storage component to the build. I love that. What casters did you use and how did you affix them? Thx

Another lovely tea from France, thanks to Ysaurella!
This is a delightful earl grey, not too heavy on the Bergamot. This cup was proceeded by a cup of Sinharaja, which is a stronger tea, so at first the tea base seemed thin. BUT about third of the way through the cup, something balanced out in my tastebuds & it really began to be a very nice experience, & especially wonderful after each sip, as the bergamot in this tea is not so cloying, & left a pleasant aftertaste in my mouth & throat that lingered, so that I could really relax & sip slowly.

The Daily Troll: Gay principal files suit. Issaquah's embarrassing student racism. Washington Dem turns GOP.
Suit over Eastside Catholic firing
Attorneys for former Eastside Catholic vice principal Mark Zmuda will file suit Friday against the school and the archdiocese, which forced him out after he married his longtime, same-sex partner. The Seattle Times reports Zmuda will talk with reporters about his suit during a press conference Friday. His departure sparked a series of protests led by Eastside students but pulling in other Catholic school stdeunts as well. — J.C.
Student misbehavior
The principal of Issaquah High School told KIRO Radio today that the school has disciplined students over racist messages they sent on social media accounts attacking black basketball players at Garfield High School. Principal Andrea McCormick told KIRO that "we're disappointed" in the students' activity. Garfield's Black Student Union wasn't impressed, saying the group hadn't found Issaquah very responsive. And a Seattle Police spokeswoman said the messages were being examined for possible criminal violations of malicious harassment laws. OK, Issaquah, beyond unspecified discipline, what's being done to create something positive out of such outrageous behavior? — J.C.
Ridesharing data: Better late than never?
The uberX ridesharing service said Thursday that it often has more than 300 drivers on the streets at a time, more than twice the proposed 150 limit Seattle City Council is considering. All told, GeekWire reports, the company has about 900 people driving in Seattle. The company also released details of its insurance coverage as part of what GeekWire describes as a last-minute effort to head off the new regulations that appear to have slim majority support on the council. — J.C.
Pike Place remake
At once a symbol of Seattle past and a model for adaptation, Pike Place Market has managed to remake itself again and again. On Thursday, the Pike Place Market Preservation and Development Authority announced design plans for a $65 million renovation. These plans promise to increase parking, add retail and restaurant space, and expand low-income housing and social services.
Of course, the plan relies on the removal of the Alaskan Way Viaduct, with the aim of connecting the market to the new waterfront and aquarium. The plan calls for "ground to be broken within the next year" – with completion at the end of 2016. Funding will be a combined effort between the Pike Place Development Authority, the Washington Department of Transportation, theCity of Seattle and low-income housing grants. There's also a $9 million capital campaign underway (details here). — K.H.
Today in Olympia
- Efforts are underway to revive a bill that would provide money for low-income housing rentals. Sen. Jan Angel, R-Gig Harbor, abruptly killed a bill by Rep. David Sawyer, D-Tacoma, that would have maintained the current $40 fee on home sales that funds those programs — a move even Republicans protested. The ultra-conservative Sen. Don Benton, R-Vancouver, led the GOP outcry, joining a bipartisan press conference Thursday to call for the bill's revival. — J.S.
The Senate Majority Coalition Caucus has been slowwalking a transportation revenue package — allegedly on the grounds that Gov. Jay Inslee might sneak a requirement in that would set a carbon limit for gas in Washington. Thursday, Inslee, who has said any such move would still be months away, finally got a little fed up with the accusation. "I think everyone needs to take a deep breath and not get their knickers into a twist on this," he told reporters. At least he didn't say the word "thongs." — J.S.
Mark Miloscia reinventing himself
Former Democratic state Rep. Mark Miloscia is trying to make a political comeback — as a Republican. He wants to move up in fact, seeking election as a state senator against incumbent Democrat Tracey Eide in the 30th District (Federal Way, Algona and parts of Pacific) in this year's election.

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 emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
