>Promising policies like mortgage cramdowns and own-to-rent programmes have yet to get a serious look from Washington leaders.
Cramdowns are not the promising answer they were a year ago.
The idea is to avoid bankruptcy here. Principle value can be adjusted backwards to pre-bubble market values, circa 2000. The resulting mortgage payments would be within family budgets, would allow a return to credit-controlled consumer spending.
Retaining good credit standing while revising home values back to baseline (see rjsO's cited graphic) would allow families to invest in their homes for a wide variety of "green" technologies (programs sponsored by local energy providers and state government), including solar/heat capture, water- and power-efficient appliances, energy monitoring and smart-home programming, and super-LED interior and safety exterior lighting.
You mean, rent-to-own. There is no reason that we can't have affordable housing where rental payments are put towards ownership, if workers have lost their nest eggs savings in this depression and can't afford the downpayment necessary for a mortgage.
The idea is to start to DISCOURAGE excessive worker mobility, by reversing a 20-year trend of high-turnover in jobs and homes. It 'anonymizes' communities and encourages crime, is wasteful to employer and employee in costs/time, its a major life stressor (health costs), destabilizes tax bases, and thwarts prudent urban planning and development - including infrastructure care.
If you look at many other countries, they don't allow this degree of physical mobility, because it's expensive and ultimately destabilizing to all parties: employers, government, workers.

Woman dies after brother runs over her twice on Renton street
The horrific incident began at about 10:25 a.m. when police received a number of calls about a collision at Lake Washington Boulevard and Park Drive that also involved a pedestrian down on the pavement.
Officers and medics rushed to the scene and found a woman on the street with life-threatening injuries. Despite the efforts of medics, she died about an hour later, said Detective Robert Onishi of the Renton police.
A preliminary investigation found that a 77-year-old Issaquah man had been out on a drive in his 1995 Mercedes with his sister, a native of Germany, who was in the area for a visit and was riding as a passenger in the car.
As the car was heading west on Park Drive, it got into a minor fender-bender and the brother brought the car to a stop.
The sister then got out of the car and walked behind it to direct traffic around them. As she was standing there, the brother backed up the car and ran over his sister. He then drove forward, running over his sister again and running into the side of a passing commercial truck.
Onishi said it appears the brother ran over his sister accidentally.
"We don't know if he had some kind of condition or some kind of episode," he said. The brother was taken to the hospital for evaluation.
The sister died despite the best efforts of medics at the scene.

This is the last of a sample sent to me quite some time ago from Angel @ Teavivre. Thanks again, Angel!
SO…the dry smell is like sweet dried berries
I preheated the Gaiwan & dropped the leaf in there, & the aroma was even sweeter, like strawberries & dark chocolate, with a floral 'after' smell that lingered in my sinuses.
I went with really short steepings 4 secs for starters
The wet leaf smelled of apricots & caramelized brown sugar
The early steepings were lightly peachy, with a perfumey lingering aftertaste, & there was also a camphor. And roastedness.
Later a 'rock' flavor predominated.
Sometimes I really enjoy this kind of tea, and I did enjoy it, but I feel unsatisfied.

Double Cross
The wonderfully entertaining story of the spies who made D-Day possible is both improbable and true.
The invasion of Western Europe by Allied troops in June 1944 was one of the central events of the Second World War. The invasion itself was not a surprise – the Germans knew it was coming. But they had no idea where it would occur – potential landing zones ranged from Norway to the South of France. This set up one of the great intelligence battles of the war: the Allies were desperately anxious to keep the exact location a secret while the Germans were equally intent on finding out.
These complex, multifaceted efforts are the subject of English author Ben Macintyre's latest book Double Cross. Like "Agent Zigzag" and "Operation Mincemeat," his earlier books about World War II espionage and counterespionage, this is a wonderfully entertaining story of deception and trickery that is told with verve and wit. What makes it even better is that the story is both improbable and true.
The effort to keep the Germans guessing had two basic elements. First, the establishment of the First United States Army Group (FUSAG) based in southeast England near Dover. The entire army group was a ruse – complete with fake barracks, tanks, airplanes, and landing craft – designed to lead the Germans to believe that the attack would come directly across the channel near Pas de Calais. Even after the invasion, the allies maintained the FUSAG fiction to let the Germans think that Normandy landing was a diversionary tactic. It worked – the Germans kept an entire Army Group at Pas de Calais awaiting the second wave. By the time they realized there would be no second landing, the Allies were firmly established in Normandy.

County: Flannery check is clean
No improprieties found in MCTA investigation
Tuesday, January 13, 2009
Moffat County's investigation into a former employee charged with theft of more than $20,000 in Routt County has turned up nothing suspicious to local officials.
Shelly Flannery served as Moffat County Tourism Association director for a year and a half until resigning in January 2008.
Since then, two nonprofits she has worked for have alleged she stole funds while on the job.
The 14th Judicial District Attorney's Office filed one count of theft of a series over $20,000 against Flannery in October. She is scheduled for arraignment at 8:30 a.m. Jan. 23 in Routt County District Court.
In that case, Routt County Habitat for Humanity officials allege she stole as much as $72,000 during her six months as the group's executive director.
In a separate ongoing case, the Rio Blanco County Sheriff's Office and Meeker Police Department opened an investigation last summer into Flannery's role as treasurer for the Rio Blanco County Historical Society.
Members of the nonprofit accused Flannery of stealing more than $7,000 to pay personal bills.
No charges had been filed against Flannery in Rio Blanco County as of Monday afternoon.
During these events, local officials felt it was necessary to look over MCTA financials for the time Flannery spent as the group's chief executive.
After looking at every expense paid during those roughly 18 months, County Budget Analyst Tinneal Gerber said there is nothing that leads her to think anything criminal or suspicious took place. Her inquiries included MCTA grants given out, credit card charges, phone bills and checks to other agencies.
County purchasing policies make it just about impossible to steal from a county fund, Gerber added.
The county requires a signed requisition request prior to any purchase, which must match the invoice or receipt after purchasing. The Accounting Department then independently verifies receipts.
As well, the county will not accept receipts that only give a sum total, Gerber said. They must detail what was purchased and how much each item cost.
In the case of the MCTA board, Gerber added, the board president signs off on every expense before any money is spent.

I'm not the paper's biggest fan. In fact I don't read it most of the time. But you two are so far off base on this one that I don't even think you thought about what you wrote.
First of all no one accused Flannery of doing anything wrong in Moffat. But she did get charged with stealing $72K from her employer in Routt County. That was only in 6 months, too by the way, and she worked for us for a year and a half. At the same rate she could have stolen more than $200K from us. I definitely want our newspaper asking whether they looked at their finances.
You do too taxslave. Or at least you did. I remember you posting on this same forum that the paper wasn't doing enough to find out whether this woman stole from us. You challenged the paper to stay vigilant. So now they did and you call them ugly. Nice.
The paper did what it was supposed to do. It never called anyone a criminal, it never said she was guilty. Maybe you two need to start reading the articles for what they are, as limited as they are sometimes, and stop pretending you are some great authority. Your holier than thou personalities are only interesting to yourselves.

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, and tastes good with a cranberry glaze, it is mostly likely a duck. Just because they didn't find anything doesn't mean she didn't scam moffat county too, we just didn't find anything because she didn't leave a paper trail. If the paper didn't tell the community about Ms. F they would not be doing their job. They reported the facts and it is up to the reader to formulate their own oppinions about guilt. Since she has robbed everyone else she has worked for it should be Guilty unitl proven innocent in this case.

Yep, the Horny Toad Savory Shirt is a functional and stylish top that sets the wearer apart and in front of the masses.

Potbelly Sandwich Works
Stop for lunch a little early while on the way from one job to a metal shop I use to pick up some metal for tonight's job. Pulled into a Potbelly for a Wreck. Few people in line in front of me and then an older (60+) Prince William County cop and two other women come in and are in line behind me.
Get my sandwich and sit down, here they come sitting in the table right next to me.
About half way through I get up to refill my drink and walk past their table and I hear from the older of the two ladies - "Look honey, he's got a gun". Not mean, sarcastic, or in a scared voice, just more matter of fact than anything.
Cop replies to her, "Yeah, nice one."
Love me some Virginia.....

yeah and what is the style set for the original PuF? I loved that set.
30th Jun 2003, 04:14 AM
You can copy any of them you like (minus custom graphics, of course), but unless you're using vb3.0, you'll have to do some tweaking.
The easiest way for you to do it is to select the style you like, then view the source through your browser. Look for the hexadecimal color names.
The old PU colors are still in one of the stylesets. I saw it the other day when I was doing something. I don't remember which one though, so you'll have to look.

API Marine unveils dealer-direct sales program
Posted onAPI Marine, a division of SEI Marine Products, announced that it changed to a dealer-direct sales program.
Effective immediately, all dealers can buy direct at distributor pricing.
"This new two-step strategy will greatly reduce the cost of our product, allow free standard delivery in the continental USA and provide two levels of mark-up for our dealers," API Marine general manager Brian Schnieder said in a statement. "The spread available to the dealer between distributor price and MSRP will be 200 percent plus on most parts."
"The three-step model involving manufacturers, distributors and dealers has been on life support for years in the automotive parts business. It was inevitable that the marine industry would feel the same pressures and change to a two-step model," SEI Marine Products general manager Justin Webb said.
"We have been very successful over the last 10 years building the world's largest lower unit aftermarket business using a two-step model, so we know it works and our dealer customers like it," Webb added.
All 7,000 SEI Marine Products dealers will automatically have active accounts for which they can buy from API Marine at distributor prices.

I have a nice jade plant. It is getting a little top heavy, and I would like to trim it, and make the trunk thicker. I have read a lot of the other post here and in the house plant forum. If I understand correctly, you can trim evry leaf, and they will grow back. Is this true? The plant has a nice trunk, and three branches. Is it best to remove the branches, or just the leaves? Does anyone have some good pics of their jades after trimming? How aggressive can I get? I don't mind trimming plants, but I'm afraid to over do it, and kill the plant. |
Follow-Up Postings:
When I get serious about whacking mine back, I cut off the branches so that when I'm done, what I have is the trunk and about 2" of each branch, no leaves. No, don't just remove the leaves, but cut below the last set of leaves on each branch, but above the trunk and the new leaves will sprout on the old woody branches. Set it in a bright but fairly shady spot until the new leaves start to emerge (and keep it moderately watered...) When the new leaves start to sprout, you can move it gradually into full sun. This way the new leaves adapt to the intense sun and will have more color. And don't toss the cuttings - start lots of new Jades and then you have many to experiment with an figure out your favorite way to grow them. Denise in Omaha |
After I posted, I thought a picture might help. I guess this will be the "before" picture! I'm going to cut below the lowest leaf. What do you recomend I cut it with? Scissors, knife, saw, or something else? |
A sharp clean knife. I would go above the last pair of leaves since the lowest pair are so close to the trunk. Then pull off those last leaves to force new growth. This should leave you a couple of inches of each branch above the trunk. Set the cuttings aside for a week or so before putting in potting mix, then mist the cuttings every day until roots form. They root quickly this time of year. Denise in Omaha |
- Posted by dufflebag2002 Calif. 91607 (My Page) on Wed, May 17, 06 at 1:46
Cut those stems in half and listen to Denise. Denise, he is from Ohio, I wouldn't mist the extra leaves, I would just lay them on top of damp soil, and don't water until he sees new leaves forming. I would be afraid of rot. Norma |
The reason I mist is because it lightly dampens the top of the soil just enough to encourage roots, but not enough to have a wet pot of soil. I've found they root faster using this method, but Jades will root even without any soil at all. If you toss a Jade cutting aside on your kitchen counter and look at again in a few weeks - voila! - you'll see new roots at the first joint! Denise in Omaha |
....Well.... I did it! My jade does not look very happy right now, but I hope it will recover!. I will post a picture when I get a chance. |
- Posted by becca_grow 2 (My Page) on Fri, May 19, 06 at 16:55
You can remove them, your plant will be fine. I took EVERY leaf off my Jade, and 4 months later it is happy as can be with TONS of new leaves. :) becca |
Sweet fancy cut backs Randy! That is amazing. Will that scar disappear by the time the new trunk is 2-3" again? -Michael |
Michael I doubt it. I have a cut about that size on another Crassula that is 2 years old. It's just now getting the bark texture inside the cut and starting to blend in. The thing about this cut is that it's on the back of the plant where it will not be noticeable. All large trunk chops on other species are done similar to this where the front of the plant will hide it in the future. randy |
- Posted by breenthumb z5upstateNY (My Page) on Fri, Jun 2, 06 at 22:14
I cut one back to the divided trunks once and it never came back. Any idea why? Thats what is keeping me from cutting 2 others back "too far." And they really need it. Thanks, Sandy |
I wanted to update everyone. I removed the last few leaves. I did the first triming on May 18th. Today I found some very small green buds on the tips of each branch. Less than a month, and it's growing back! |
- Posted by dufflebag2002 Calif. 91607 (My Page) on Wed, Jun 7, 06 at 2:28
Denise, just leave the plant alone now, and give it a chance to grow back. I always leave some green on top. It looks good to me. I wouldn't be any more drastic than that. You can always cut it again, don't be in a hurry, study the shape and decide what you want it to look like when finshed, then cut and re-examine again, then cut. Norma |
I've seen so many jade postings on pruning and cutting back. It seems to be an important aspect in caring for this plant. I inherited a large jade plant (in an 18" pot) because the people that had it were killing it. When I first got it, the trunks were completely limp and hanging over the pot. I withheld water from it, propped the trunks on sticks to hold them up, and put the tree in direct sunlight. Now the trunks can stand on their own. When I look at some of the pics people post of their jade plants, they look very full and nicely pruned. However, I personally like to see the trunks, and don't like such a full look. Believe it or not, I like when the little offshoot branches are strangly and unpruned. That's just my preference. I know it makes the plant top heavy (I have to use sticks to hold up some of the side branches), but I really like the way it looks and I'm very hesitant to prune it. Is it bad for the plant to not prune it? I also notice that the largest trunk seems very "scaly" and dry. Is this ok? Here are some pics, let me know what you think. Thanks! |
gabro the scaly trunk is OK, your jade would benefit from LOTS more light. |

Im trying a bonsaai, of jade never done one before, but I have plenty of cuttings (or pinches) to expieriment with. My results, The one in the dish looks like I want it to(shallow 1" clay pot) But the others in a deeper 4" pot have thicker stems and slightly taller. I am trying young 3 branches to begin with. I saw a 40 yr. old one I just thought was beautiful and even though mine are only 2yrs old im trying for the same results. 10 yrs. from now i'll know what I should and shouldnt have done.Jades make great indoor outdoor plants here in mich. they even show fall colors of red and purple. |
Do you have a pic to post of your project thus far? And I have a question...you mentioned using younger branches. Does it matter whether you use young branches or old branches to start a new plant? Anyone, please chime in. Thanks. |

I love the bark on your C. ovata "Jade". The reason you trim those long floppy branches is to keep them from breaking off due to weight. It you cut only 1/3 of the top growth the trunk will thicken. If you deceide to keep it that way then cut down on watering, and give it more light, that way the branches will be stronger. The more you cut the more top growth you will get from each cut, then more flowers when it is time for it to flower. Keep us posted. By the way, scars on succulent or cacti do not heal they just add personality. Norma |
Thanks Norma. If you look at my other post...(I think it's title Jade Post New Thread), you'll see the dramatic (at least for me!) after picture. Even though I didn't prune all the leaves and branches, I pruned the hanging ones. I didn't want to put me...or my plant...into shock by taking it all off! But I will definitely put up pics when it has grown in. So if I cut the trunk with thicken? THat's great! And about the scars....the previous owners had hacked away at it a few years ago, so there are already some old scars....I kinda like them! I agree, they add personality. Thanks, Gabi |
Wow..that's encouraging! Glad I pruned mine :) |
Great photo's and talk about the Jade plant. Hi, I'm Raymond from New Zealand and just joined this forum with all these fantastic plant lovers. I have quite a few Jade Plants inside and outside in the garden. These are easy to propagate, just break or cut a branch of and let it dry for a few weeks. Quite often roots will form by themselves and they are ready for potting. On bigger plants you may miss the flowering of the Crassula, because they flower on last years growth. I nearly killed one which was inside a dark room and i forgot about it. When put outside it got sunburnt and lost all its leaves, only the bare trunk and branches stood up. I thought that was the end but no, the crassula recovered fully and is very healthy looking. I will post some photo's soon. |
Hi, me back again. It took me a while to find this thread, couldn't find it via last post. Here are some photo's from last winters flowering. [img]http://farm1.static.flickr.com/155/345958275_8349d22bde.jpg[/img] [img]http://farm1.static.flickr.com/143/345958272_a467814329.jpg[/img] It is interesting to see that crassula's have 4, 5 and 6 petals on the flowers. |
From personnal experience, jades are prety hardy plants! Unless they are over watered, they are hard to kill! |

Hi. I have a jade plant that is the ugliest plant i have ever seen and i'm totally in love with... lol. My problem is that it only has one main branch running straight up 13 inches with droopy leaves. I am using a couple pieces of ornate chopsticks to keep the plant propped up from tipping over (I like the oriental look it gives it) but i'm afraid that if I don't do something it will become too tall and top heavy for that single branch to support. Is there anything I can do to maybe cut the plant down and encourage it to branch from where I cut it back and also persuade the leaves to look a little perkier? I do know that I used to water my plant way too much, but I have slowly cut back to once a week. I would appreciate any advice or stories about similar situations anyone has encountered. Thanks! -Simon |
Once a WEEK? You should be watering your jade once a MONTH at most in the cold months. I water my 2' jade once every 1-2 months. Some people don't water them at all in the winter. I still can't get over that you actually cut back to once a week....how much were you watering before??? This plant is a succulent and therefore can be killed by overwatering, which you are doing. The leaves hold the water so they can go a long time without water. It's better to underwater jades than to overwater them. I would withhold water for a while if I were you. Anyway, if you are asking what you can do to cut the plant down and encourage perkier branches, the answer is to simply cut it down. Cut off all the hanging branches. Judging by the amount you've been watering, those branches (if not the whole tree) are probably rotted. So I would definitely cut them all off and leave the single trunk. If the trunk is healthy then you'll be happy when the leaves finally grow back. It may be a shock at first (trust me, I had to cut mine back and it was very shocking), but your plant will look better eventually. My advice to you is to do some searches on here for jade care. There are tons of posts...it's one of the most popular succulents, so you'll find a ton of info. Hopefully, if your main trunk is in good health, you can save your plant and start over. Good luck, |

Whoa! Everything Gabi has said is right. Don't be afraid to let the pot dry out. |
- Posted by simon_polymath 5 (ohio) (My Page) on Fri, Mar 9, 07 at 13:26
Thank you soooooo much for the advice. As you can tell I am extremely new at this and my attachment to growing indoor plants far exceeds my knowledge and ability. What is the best method for replanting cuttings to create new plants? I've heard/read about many differnet techniques, although the most common practice seems to be removing the sample and leaving it out for a period of time letting a "callus" form. If this is the best process then what is the best length of time before replanting the cutting? Thank you sooo much for your help!!! -Simon |
There are a lot of ways to root your cuttings, but it seems as though the cuttings might not be healthy by the way you described the plant. It's worth a try though. If they aren't rotted, then you can just let the cuttings sit out in bright light, not direct sun though, and they will probably just root on their own...then you pot them up in fast draining soil. Some people plant them in very coarse soil mix after they callous. Or you can put them in water to root but you probably don't need to do that since Spring is coming around. There's not just one way...if you have lots of cuttings maybe try a few ways. But do a search on here about rooting/propagating jade cuttings...you'll find a lot of info. If you can, put a pic up of your plant...that would get you some more information on its condition. Good luck, Gabi |
Hey Simon, How much space was/is between the leaf sets? It may not be getting enough light. I don't think Jade will branch as much if it is not getting correct light. |

re: School closures, funding
Ironically, the bulk of the news continues to be about education funding or rather the lack thereof, impacts of closures on community, pressures on the city to buy old school property, etc. Then the good news: the construction of a mammoth-sized building for the school board trustees and staff — their headquarters — is "on pace."
Voters have the opportunity in this municipal election, likely provincially as well, to change this picture.
Local trustees and MPPs are the taxpayers' choice. Our children's education starts with adults making the effort to mark an informed X on their election ballots.
As for one secular school system, eliminating ridiculous duplication, well that not only would be a change in picture, that would change the channel – using TV vernacular. That would be OK by me.

Wonderful stay of 8 nights. Despite a mess up of my booking from Expedia, Debbie accommodated me and helped a lot. She is such a bubbling personality with warm heart, it feels like home away from home. Rooms were clean and cozy, shared bathrooms always available (never had to wait). Healthy breakfast (me being vegetarian I had only cereals, bread, fruit and juice but Debbie was making bacon, eggs & pancake for others with great gusto and passion). Wonderful place to experience.

Debbie McLain was a thoughtful and accommodating hostess who contributed immensely to the wonderful weekend I had in Brooklyn recently. Listening to Eric Lemon was a master class in the history of jazz in Bedford-Stuyvesant and then to be thrilled by the music of the master musicians they assemble was simply magic. Looking forward to my next stay!

Visiting daughter who lives a 10 minute walk away from this lovely historic brownstone. 2 blocks from the subway. Very convenient to Manhattan on express train. Comfortable twin beds in large room on top floor - we got the last room so no double was available. Sink in room. Large full shared bathroom. Be prepared to get to know your housemates while waiting for a delicious, filling breakfast. We thoroughly enjoyed the other guests in this relaxed setting. Or have cereal and fruit before if you have to get out early. But if you want to relax you won't regret it. Our hostess asked for our preferences our first morning and was very accommodating (turkey bacon instead of pork & lactaid milk). We felt safe in the neighborhood at all times. Though the block is somewhat dark at night it is only one block off of two very busy street/intersection. Jazz on Friday and Saturday with top artists until around midnight. Friday includes a fish fry. Unfortunately we couldn't attend on either night, but from what we could tell they were exceptional artists and a lively well-behaved audience. If you don't want to hear the muffled sounds of top notch jazz artists, then get a room in the back. So exciting to stay in an authentic historic building! We would definitely stay here again.

I left with my heart and soul full. My husband and I stayed at this gem of a place. We were in town to see The Raisin In The Sun. It was my first time in NYC and I wanted my first experience to be authentic and away from the "tourist" feel of NYC. Debbie and Sankofa Aban did not disappoint and exceeded my expectation. From the brownstone itself to the corner pastry/coffee shop on the corner. For me it was such a connection to Debbie and Sankofa Aban. This connection, particularly to the brownstone and the history behind, was so real to me. We stayed in the Retreat Room and it was simply lovely. We meet a lovely Parisan couple who live in England and another young lady who hailed from Canada. It still resonates in my soul the richness and authenticity of our stay. I want to thank Debbie, Spencer (who waited for us on our 1st day) and just simply everyone for the genuine warmth and love sent our way. We will definitely be back.

This place was wonderful. Being from New Orleans, this was the perfect place. It is just a block from the subway, plenty of parking, the food was wonderful (especially the fried fish on Saturday night), and the owner was amazing. The place was warm and inviting. There was a Jazz performance on Saturday night with drinks and a wonderful Crepe shop down the street. The bed was not the most comfortable, but everything else more than made up for it. We will definitely be visiting here the next time we make a trip to NYC.

Hi, I'm just taking a moment out to look over some past reviews.
I'm very happy to have helped in your enjoying probably a much deserved, though out vacation. In doing so, there should never be a concern on whether the bed would be of comfort in a BnB. So, please if anyway at all I could be made aware of which room had a uncomfortable bed needing to be addressed, I'd like to take care of it. I have said before and will say again, our mattress sets are of some of the best on the market. High quality brands. Still there maybe something I'm unaware of I can do to assure a more restful night. We're not perfect, but I don't mine working at it. Thanks for choosing Sankofa Aban BnB.

Lovely brownstone and owner was both warm and friendly. She was more than happy to provide us with needed information about restaurants and public transportation in the area. Room was very comfortable and spacious next to a shared bathroom that was always available to us. Breakfast was good but sparce with one entree the first day and out to a neighborhood restaurant for breakfast the second day which we enjoyed. Wash cloths were not available until requested and room was not serviced after the first night (bed was not made upon our return). We thoroughly enjoyed the jazz and fish fry in the evening as well as the warm hospitality during our stay.

Thank you for your time in giving this review. I certainly appreciate being given the opportunity of clearing up misunderstanding of how we operate. I see that you felt that breakfast was not enough by your standards, but please understand that we are simply a Home-Style Inn we are not a Hotel with a restaurant, with different dishes to choose from. Since I'm the cook it is easier to cook one main dish everyone usually can enjoy together. There is always fruit, and cereal in the Dining Room. This is why I treat my guest to a special Breakfast Outings at the neighborhood Crepe Shop. Not just any neighborhood coffee shop, but actually a authentic French Crepe Shop. Specialty Coffee, Teas, and Pastries. We also have a policy here not to enter rooms, unless asked by the guests. We respect privacy, unless it is absolutely necessary to enter. Plus there is a small extra charge for Room Service not included in rates. Everyone does not need to have that service and should not be charged up front, for such. Also, wash clothes have been known to be a laundry waste being placed in rooms. The small clothes are usually not used by our guest. We give once they're requested. I am glad that you were able to find some enjoyment on your short stay, and hopefully one day you might chance a longer stay. Till then keep enjoying life in Bed and Breakfast.com, BnB's.

I am wondering when most of you up in the northern zones start your seeds and why you pick that date? I am in zone 4 (s. central Wisconsin) and plan on starting early February. It seems that allows my plants to be well established when lat May comes around and I can kick them outside for good. How about you? Bruce |
Follow-Up Postings:
Late January to mid-February here in the Chicago area, depending on what my schedule allows. I like giving them lots of time to develop inside before putting them out, including 24/7 light for the first six weeks. BTW - Thanks! Got your last email, can't wait to try germinating a couple of them. |
mbellot: all packaged and stamped and ready for the mailbox. Just too cold to make that 40 foot walk outside to the mailbox if I don't have to. I will probably be going out later anyway. You should have them by this weekend. Bruce |
Bruce, In 3 months you should have real big size seedlings. I test germinated some peppers (shishito)early November now they are about 10" tall , with lots of flowers. But I think HOT peppers grow at slower rate, as I can tell from my habanero. I am getting ready to start germinating full steam shortly. My Average Last Frost date is around early April. I also have a 3' x 6' cold frame to shelter some in case of cold weather Or during the nights , for a while. |

wondering when most of you up in the northern zones start your seeds and why you pick that date?Hey Bruce, Maybe around Feb 7 will be first sowing of hot peps for me. Then successive tranche's of same until finished by late Feb. On a different subject, I have a brick of coir and some Azomite and some of each I will add in prepping seedling mix with primary ingredient ProMix boosted with some extra vermic and perlite. For some reason, bone meal does seem to enhance favorable growth habits of C chinense... discovered this in 2013 inside seedling nurturing. May have been coincidence but I did it with many "control" seedlings of same variety that were treated the same but with no bone meal. "Control" seedlings were OK, but were significantly bested in apparent plant vitality by same varieties treated with the bone meal. Jeff |

Last Sunday (5th) I sowed a few different seed varieties of what I call the super hots (reaper, a few different Bhuts, scorpions, etc.) that I was graciously given by a few members here. Then around the 1st week or so of Feb I'll beginning sowing other hots, then milds and finishing with sweets by 1st week of March. By March I usually start up my harbor freight greenhouse, move peppers out there and then begin with tomatoes. By May the greenhouse, my grow room (1/3 of my lowest level), and other areas of the house are bursting with pepper plants..... I'm already getting the peeps I give plants to, asking if I've begun yet. They are spoiled.... Sandy |
Thanks for the responses, keep 'em coming. Just like to know what people in the same area/zone are doing. I have a test grow of some Black Pearl seeds that I started on Christmas day. They are doing great, much to my surprise as I couldn't get even one to germinate last year. These came up in six days with no external heat, just room temp and today I noticed their first set of true leaves budding out. I am still debating if I want to try to keep one of the sprouts growing until this summer. It is going to be tough to nurse it along in the house until late May, but I guess I will just treat it like an overwinter plant in that case. |

man, I love living in FL. I started mine outdoors a few weeks ago, and only had to bring them in a few times. |
- Posted by naturemitch 3/4 WI (My Page) on Sun, Jan 12, 14 at 0:21
Gonna be starting really soon in Northern Wi....Glidden. There are a few varieties that I have notes on that need sow dates of mid to late January. Here we go! |
In zone 3 I usually start annums in mid-March for outdoor planting around May 20. Two years ago that worked out pretty well. Last year it resulted in pathetic looking plants during June, our rainiest month that can also have some downright chilly, rainy days, then the plants really picked up starting in early July. I'm thinking an early June outdoor planting might be better, not sure whether to delay indoor planting by two weeks, or plant mid-March or even earlier and then clip the plants to get them bushier indoors before moving them out. BTW Bruce, near the end of July 2013 I planted some of those Naga seeds indoors that you sent me a few years back. The first flush turned red starting in December (still haven't picked them yet). The first flush is now all red, and the second flush is getting near full-size and should start to turn red within a couple weeks. After the second flush, I'm planning to keep one of the 3 plants alive until spring/summer and then trying to see how it grows outdoors here. I recall some confusion a year or two ago over the exact name for this pepper -- did you come up with a "best match" name, or at least something I can tell people besides "it's some kind of Naga pepper"? |
Today I started a bunch of them, in addition to thise already germinated and growing. I have about 15 varieties, not too many. To my estimation, in 10 weeks you can have pretty good size seedling. From there on you should treat them as greenhouse/house plants. Which is ok if you have the resources. Happy Growing ! |
Don555: Where are you growing those "some kind of Naga" peppers? Indoors? They should do fine once you get them back outside this spring and likely will give you a couple more nice harvests. Bruce |
Been doing some serious thinking this past week or so - trying to decide what all to plant this year (in general) now that I have more space, and also, just took seed inventory. Now, I just need to narrow down exactly what peppers I want to try this year. I'll be starting seeds probably first half of Feb. |
Seems like most of the people up my way are thinking about the same as me and planning to start early to mid February. I like the vote of confidence since the last two years have been rough starts and I fell a little behind even when starting in late January. This year, I think I have a good handle on starting things off right and should have a good grow. Bruce |

PAUL SMITHS - Since beech bark disease first appeared in the Adirondacks 40 years ago, more than just beech have been threatened.
Wildlife managers are concerned about the loss of beech nuts so critical in these northern forests for wildlife food. And other valuable species, such as sugar maple, can be crowded out by beech saplings, which sprout prolifically.
Paul Smith's College ecology professor Dr. Celia Evans will discuss the effects of forest management on beech bark disease and the landscape during a lecture on Friday, April 16, from 10:10 - 11 a.m. in the Pine Room, Joan Weill Student Center. The lecture is free and open to the public.
Evans and several students have worked for several years to compare Adirondack forests where management has occurred since the disease was introduced to forests in preserved status. They have evaluated the severity of beech bark disease, and beech and sugar maple populations, in both types of forests.
Beech bark disease is caused by beech scale insects that make the tree susceptible to a fungus that creates cankers on the trees.
"Typically, only about 1 percent of beech trees are resistant to the disease agents," Evans said. "But preserved forests have a greater proportion of beech that are disease-free or -resistant than their managed counterparts."
Evans' talk will assess management's influence on the regeneration of disease-resistant trees, and the possible implications of that.
The college's Fisheries and Wildlife Seminar Series and World of Forestry Seminar Series are co-sponsoring the lecture.

Urgency and Solvability: The "We" Campaign
If you read Juliet Eilperin's great rundown in the Washington Post, you know that today marks the launch of a massive P.R. effort from Al Gore's Alliance for Climate Protection.
Gore has concluded that U.S. politicians will continue to be timid on climate change until the public demands otherwise. "The simple algorithm is this: It's important to change the light bulbs, but it's much more important to change the laws," he said. "The options available to civilization worldwide to avert this terribly destructive pattern are beginning to slip away from us. The path for recovery runs right through Washington, D.C."
To that end, the Alliance is launching the "We" campaign, a $300 million, three-year operation to shift public opinion and create a sense of urgency commensurate with the problem, along with a sense of "solvability"—that is, a sense that we can beat it. The campaign's goals are audacious: mobilizing 10 million volunteers through TV ads, print ads, and social networks.Gore has famously put his money where his mouth is, putting all profits from An Inconvenient Truth, his salary from Kleiner Perkins Caulfield & Byers, and the cash from all the awards he's won toward the ACP campaign. Private donors will pony up the rest.
Cathy Zoi, C.E.O. of the ACP (and leader of a similar effort that recently led to the political flip in Australia), spoke with a small group of bloggers today about the details and thinking behind the campaign.
Their research found that only about 18 percent of people in the U.S. are opposed to climate-change action on ideological grounds (Romm's "deniers and delayers"). That means that more than 80 percent of Americans can be reached. Around 9 to 10 percent are activists—people who get it and are engaged. Around 35 percent are taking some small actions, though their understanding is shaky. The rest are what Zoi called "fearful and confused"—they don't really get what global warming is, what causes it, or how to address it, but they're acutely aware that it's a huge problem and it stresses them out.
The ACP will keep measuring the public on this. Their ambitious target is to move the needle—they want 70 percent of the public to get the "urgency and solvability" of the problem and make it a top-three voting issue.
The campaign will involve three key pieces:
The first, which rolled out today, is the invitation. Here's the ad, called "anthem," narrated by William H. Macy:
The second phase is about eliminating partisanship from the climate question. The ads will feature "unlikely alliances," such as Pat Robertson with Al Sharpton and Nancy Pelosi with Newt Gingrich.
The third piece is online mobilization—20 to 25 percent of the ACP's money will go to interactive online advertising and social networking. There will also be individual alliances with community-based groups: unions, the Girl Scouts, faith communities, etc. The website will be geared to offer different messages and routes to involvement for different groups.
I had three questions for Zoi.
First, would the ACP be recommending particular policies or legislation? She said the initial focus is simply on bringing people up to speed, but eventually there would be more of a policy push. (She mentioned that in Australia, the public's understanding increased faster than they expected and they were able to turn to policy and politics in time to affect the election, but she didn't know if the same would hold true in the U.S.) In particular she mentioned a moratorium on new coal plants unless they practics carbon capture and storage (C.C.S.), a large boost in funding for renewables, and a mandatory cap on carbon.
Second, I asked if the framing would remain problem-solution, or whether the messaging would shift to focus on the enormous economic opportunity that may be passing us by. The latter, she enthusiastically said, noting that the campaign would move in that direction in the third phase, after the partisanship component. She said the economic angle could be an even bigger asset given the current economic troubles in the U.S.
Third, I asked when, if ever, they were going to ask someone from the business community or the Republican party to publicly shame the coal industry for its well-funded efforts to slow action on climate change. She said people don't really understand the whole coal and "clean" coal component yet. But, I said, people understand corporate efforts to thwart environmental progress, right?
At this point both she and Gore aide Kalee Kreider, also on the call, were audibly squirming. Obviously there was something they wanted to tell me about, but couldn't yet. They said there was "something in the works," but they had to wait until it was farther along to announce it. They said the ACP would not only be running its own ads but would be "supporting efforts from other players." The "hint, hint" was implied. Guess we'll have to wait a bit to find out what this is, but it sounds promising.
Anyway, this will be fascinating to watch and I'll be updating you folks regularly. Stay tuned.

Help make it easier for other Avvo users to choose the right lawyer by sharing your experience with this attorney. It's fast, simple, and safe.
Lawyers: Use the Peer Endorsements section to provide input about other attorneys.
Dean was helpful to our group, guiding us through a challenging issue with our HOA. He made himself available through many emails and conference calls, and eventually in person at a successfully completed mediation. Dean helped us prioritize our concerns both before mediation and after, as we wrote up the final mediation agreement. We would not hesitate to recommend Dean Smart, an honest and reliable Lawyer.
As a small group of home owners challenging the board there were more emotional issues than legal issues. Dean helped us sort through the real issues where we did have a legitimate challenge and kept us on focus through the process. He stayed on point even in the face of the opposing attorney who was more intent on creating problems than solving them. We were able to settle the issue through mediation which save us time and money. I would recommend him for any conflict with a homeowner association.
Years ago I was in a HUGE lawsuit with my HOA. Dean Smart was hired by the HOA to sue me. After looking at ALL the details he REFUSED to sue me. I was so impressed that he wasn't just in it for the money as most attorney's are. To this day we are still good friend because of his honesty and integrity.
Dean represented us in a very involved and challenging Business litigation case that involved a partnership/LLC, real estate/construction project and a personal guaranty. The partnership/LLC cohesiveness disintegrated. Suit included false claims against us by our partners and a iron clad personal guaranty, signed by all partners with a large financial institution. Which was an un-defensible case to a defensible case. Involved a claim of several hundreds of thousand dollars. Dean's legal expertise, ability to detail the facts, determination to stand strong and perseverance resulted ultimately in the plaintiff walking away and dropping the lawsuit. Would highly recommend Dean Smart and his firm. He has the client's best interest at heart. And represents his clients professionally and fairly.
I've had the good fortune to know and use Dean for the past 6 years on a variety of legal issues on both a personal and business level. On a personal level, Dean advised me and guided me throughout the process of losing my home beginning with a notice of foreclosure - which as you can imagine was the worst day of my life - the ensuing process of seeking a loan modification and ultimately negotiating a successful short sale of the property. Dean seems to be especially knowledgeable in all transactional areas of real estate and I especially appreciated the fact that during an extremely emotional time for me and my wife - losing our home - he was able to bring a sense of calm, focus and clarity to the process.
On another note, Dean brought tremendous value to me and my business, in his ability to successfully ameliorating an ugly situation when a former business associate/colleague of mine made slanderous and false accusations against me in an effort to avoid a financial obligation owed me in a prior business transaction. Dean was able to cut through the deception and quickly bring about the truth, subsequently establishing the validity of the debt obligation owed my company.
Lastly, I mistakenly purchased what I believed to be a special car via the internet. To say it was a Frankenstein would be kind. It was several separate cars that had been chopped up and then reassembled. The seller refused to acknowledge that which we had discovered and flatly refused to take the car back. Initially I felt like such a complete fool for purchasing what I thought was such a special car. Then I panicked thinking I was going to be stuck with a real piece of crap. I think that being in North Carolina provided him a false sense of immunity to any out-of-state legal action by me. Unfortunately, he didn't know about Dean Smart. Not only did Dean force the seller to take back the vehicle, he was also successful in causing the seller to pay the return shipping, refund the entire purchase price to me, as well as garnering me an additional five thousand dollars for my pain and suffering. Needless to say, I was thrilled with the outcome.
Based upon my past experiences I find it easy to endorse Dean's legal acumen but what truly deserves an endorsement and stands out most of all, is his personal commitment to me as a person, first and foremost, and then as a client.
Dean Smart was able to come to my defense with a home foundation slope slippage problem within our condo complex which the HOA kept insisting it was not their responsibility to fix this. Dean was very thorough in his investigating and getting to the root of the problem which put the responsibility back on the HOA. Even though this resulted in a lawsuit against the HOA and handled through mediation, Dean was able to get the positive outcome for me. He tackled the issues quickly and was very knowledgeable about HOA vs Homeowner rights. I thoroughly recommend Dean Smart for any issues arising with HOAs or with real estate in general. Thanks Dean!
I live in a 2-unit townhouse and discovered late last year that I have termites. I submitted a termite report to my HOA and the Board refused to pay for eradication based on the policy in the CC&Rs stating that owners are responsible for 1 unit. I could not find this policy in the CC&Rs. Regardless, the HOA stood strong that this was the policy. Not only did the Board want me to pay for my home (1 unit) but for my adjoining neighbor since she was unwilling to pay. I repeatedly asked for proof of this policy with no luck. After weeks of frustration, I contacted Dean and he was able to provide great advice which led to a victory. If you have any issues with your HOA, I would high!y recommend Dean Smart. He definitely fights for the voice that cannot or will not be heard by the ever so powerful HOA. Thanks Dean!
Dean E. Smart did a careful, detailed evaluation of a ruling against me made by my HOA Board of Directors. He produced a highly detailed legal document which outlined factual/legal information in a logical, methodical brief which determined that I was following the CC&R's correctly.
I contacted Mr. Smart through his website and was given a very fair quote which he adhered to even though the case became more time consuming than originally assumed. He explained to me that he would not know the result until he studied it. I appreciated his honesty as well as his promptness in working on my case. Communication went well via e-mail.
Mr. Smart is the second attorney who worked on my case. The first was helpful, however, I realized that a specialist in HOA disputes might be better, hence I contacted Mr. Smart. His reasoning, attention to legal detail, and knowledge of HOA law came to the rescue. I strongly recommend his services.
I was in a long (over 1 year) and frustrating battle with my HOA. When I could no longer fight for myself, I wrote to Dean Smart and received advice within 1 day. After consultation, Dean put a reasonable plan together to counter all the HOA arguments. The HOA would not give in! I was ready to give in myself. Dean continued to push and after 6 months of debating, Dean won the case! I felt that Dean fought for me as if he was a family friend and would not give up until I was satisfied. In fact, when Dean received several emotional emails from me regarding the HOA's continued resistance, I would receive logical and precise strategies to each and every concern I had! Very hard to find the qualities that Dean brings to the table in time of need. If you are struggling with your HOA, do not hesitate to retain Dean's services!! Highly recommended!!
Dean Smart is amazing! I found him online and I honestly feel he was heaven sent. I sought council prior to him and was given the run around so by the time I met with Dean i had no expectation and was honestly hopeless. So in meeting Dean, from the beginning he was honest, straight to the point and really listened to me and my concerns. As mentioned, my previous attorney took advance of my age and ignorance so I was completely apprehensive in consulting another attorney but after my first meeting with Dean Smart, I knew I had finally made a "smart" decision. He was thorough, forthcoming, knowledgable, considerate, honest, prompt, and his judgement of outcomes were spot on!! I recommend Dean wholeheartedly!! He is not only a wonderful man but a fantastic attorney and I can only hope that he is able to make a positive difference in the lives of others as he has in mine!! Words cannot express my gratitude for his advice and sesrvices...I am forever grateful to him and his team! Thank you Dean Smart, you are and will continue to be a blessing from above!!!
