I have some snow peas and regular sugar snap peas that I try to grow every year. Every year I never get enough for barely a stir fry. This year I am determined to get me some peas growing.
My question is this...how do you grow your peas? I always plant by seed, don't put too much in the way of compost or fertilizer in the ground and keep a good even moisture. They grow, but not much before they get brown around the bottom where the plant goes into the dirt and then just dies. I am doing something way wrong, was wondering what others do so that maybe I can spot what I am doing wrong.... Thanks!

A few years ago, Kip on Victory Garden showed how to plant Super Sugar Snaps. He said, Peas will grow better in cold soil than they will germinate. Since then I have started my peas indoors. I started with peat pots as he did, then last year I put into toilet paper rolls, cut in half. I am soaking my seeds today and as soon as they sprout will take them to the greenhouse to plant them in the rolls. I will put them into the ground the first week of March, tubes and all. I usually start two batches, two weeks apart. Since I started doing this I get a wonderful harvest. I start at least 300 plants a year and eat on them through May. Usually have at least a five gallon bucket of pods Memorial Day to freeze. We've talked about this over the years in more detail, so you should be able to do a search for even more info. |
Dorothy, Thanks, those are cool suggestions. I planted only one batch last year, I will try two batches as you did this year. Last year, I started them in sam's alluvium dish trays filled with seed starting mix. I sown per-soaked seeds at 3/4" apart, when they reach 2-3 inches ht, plant them in garden bed by gently separating each seedling without disturbing the root system. They did well, I am trying same approach this year in addition to direct sowing per-sprouted seeds just to quantify differences in vigor and production. -Chandra |
Ezzirah, There has to be a reason that your pea plants are turning brown and dying. It could be that the soil stays too wet for them, that your soil pH is lower than 6.5 or higher than 7.5, or that they are contracting a fungal disease. After they have died, have you ever pulled up one and looked at the roots for signs of root rot? Also, how long do they live? Is it more like a week or two, or a month or two? Somewhere in between? Like Dorothy, I have much better success with peas started indoors. They sprout so slowly in wet soil and I think they tend to get diseased much easier, or at least they succumb to disease because they are weaker in cold soil. If they get off to a poor start because of cold soil, they often seem to be slow to grow and produce for many weeks, and that means it can be hard to get a good harvest before the heat begins to have a negative effect on them. I pre-soak my seeds in water for a few hours, then pour them into a ziplock bag with bean/pea innoculant, shake the bag to cover them with the innoculating powder, then plant them into 3 oz. paper cups filled with a sterile, soil-less seed-starting mix. I poke holes in the bottom of the cups before putting the soil-less mix in them. When I transplant the pea plants into the ground, I plant the paper cup along with the plants to avoid disturbing the roots and to minimize the chance of transplant shock. I try to soak the seed and plant it into the cups in mid-Feb. for the first round and put the young, small plants into the ground in early March. I do two plantings about two weeks apart in a good year when I have adequate time. Sometimes in a bad fire winter, I am short of time and either do one big planting, or my late planting sometimes doesn't make it into the ground until 3 or 4 weeks after the first. I move the trellis from one raised bed to another every year so the peas are not growing in the same place every year, which can be important in preventing disease. That's also why I innoculate them. If you are planting peas (or beans) into an area where you've recently grown peas (or beans), the innoculant probably is not necessary. I usually plant a double row of peas in a raised bed, with the trellis running down the middle of the bed and a row of pea plants on either side. Usually my pea rows are about 30' long. Even in a bad year like last year, I'll harvest several pounds of sugar snap peas. In the best sugar snap pea year we've ever had, which was 2010, we harvested 35 lbs. 9 oz. of the two varieties Sugar Snap and Super Sugar Snap. I try to plant 3 to 5 varieties, both pole and bush types. If you're going for the maximum production in the space available, pole types will give you a bigger harvest. In the early 2000s we went through a period with several 'hot' winters back to back, and I finally just stopped planting snap peas for a few years because the weather heated up so early that it was burning up the plants before they could produce much. That hasn't been a issue the last 4 years or so. Dawn |

Ezzirah, you didn't say when you plant. If you are planting very early, it could be, as Dawn said, that the plants are stressed by cold soil and weather. The only problem I have with peas done by this system is rabbits eating the transplants. I sprinkle with human and dog hair and with bloodmeal but the rabbits still get some of them--until we get the rabbit. Our dog will bark at the garden gate when he knows there is a rabbit in there. Last year he killed three when I let him in on different days. I do things much like Dawn, moving the trellis every year, but I no longer plant a double row. The plants get so thick that I was missing too many pods, so now just plant a single row on one side of the trellis. |

Ok, I see several things I am doing wrong. 1, I am planting too early, direct sow, some was going in the ground this weekend. 2,I need to start indoors. 3, I put innoculant in the hole I put the seed in, But I don't soak the seed and I don't cover the seed with it. I only have a small hobby garden compared to the size some of you have, so one trellis, three plants on a 5' by 5' trellis. I am serious the plants what does grow stays about one month, I may get 5 sugar snap peas in that month,LOL, then they get brown at the bottom, start to yellow up the stem and die off. I thought that was the natural progression of the plant. But if you guy's plants stay around for a bit longer and produce way more, then I am doing something way wrong! |
- Posted by soonergrandmom Z6 Grove (My Page) on Tue, Feb 14, 12 at 20:43
Ezzirah011 - Are you saying you only plant 3 pea plants on a five foot tellis? I plant about every four inches and I just read that some plant every two when they trellis. |
Ezzirah, You can plant one snap peas plant every couple of inches. I space mine about the same as Dorothy's. Three plants won't give you very many snap peas at one time, even if the three plants are very healthy and produce heavily. With 5' of row space along the trellis, you can plant a lot more plants than just three. With 5' of trellis space you ought to be able to harvest quite a few snap peas for fresh eating. Dorothy, I should only plant on one side of the trellis because it can be awfully hard to find those peas when the vines are so thick, but you know it is impossibly hard for me to plant 'less' of anything when my brain is screaming "more, more, more!". I tried something different last year, and I really liked it. I planted Sugar Snap and Super Sugar Snap on one side of the trellis, then came back two weeks later and planted Opal Creek Yellow and Spring Blush on the other side. I don't know that it made it any easier to find the snaps and sugar snaps, but the usual color of the yellow and pink snap peas made them easy to find. Have you ever noticed that when you miss a Sugar Snap or Super Sugar Snap and they reach a gigantic size and the pods harden, they kind of look like a big tomato hornworm (minus the horn)? Dawn |
- Posted by ezzirah011 7a (My Page) on Wed, Feb 15, 12 at 6:26
Oh my!?! I figured from pictures I have seen that the plants would cover the trellis! They are so small though, I cannot imagine it being thick enough to not find the peas! Oh heck...ok, problem number 4, plant much, much denser! I am thinking I may have to mulch heavy, normally I plant spinach at the bottom of the trellis, just two or three plants as well, I may plant those denser to help control moisture, although this year I am installing a drip irrigation. The trellis I plant the peas in stand alone in it's own 2' x 9' bed. Radishes go on the extra space at the end. Wow... I like the different color idea! |

I figure a plant every two inches. |

Once Again, the Gaming Industry Thinks Girls Don't Sell
It's kind of sad when things like this happen, but it's clear that, in this particular industry, the general opinion is that girls simply don't sell. It happened to Bioshock: Infinite, and to a lesser extent, it's now happening to The Last of Us as well.
The Last of Us is arguably one of the best titles to grace this generation of gaming. The reviews, as well as the sales clearly show it. As such, it's only natural that a game magazine would want to feature this amazing title on its cover. GameReactor, one of Europe's biggest game magazine presumably asked for a Last of Us cover art for their latest number, and Naughty Dog delivered. The problem is that something went missing along the way (hover over the images).
Neil Druckmann, the Creative Director behind Naughty Dog's latest title was curious as well.
Why things like this happen, is beyond anyone's guess. What's your opinion though? Do you think a girl's image really hurts the gamers' general perception of the game? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
In addition to being the PC editor, Vlad Pintea is also a chief of news and reviews here at Analog Addiction, and sometimes he even speaks his own mind. You can contact him via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com, My IGN, on Skype, Steam (all at the same name: vlad94pintea) or Facebook (Vlad Pintea). Have a good day, and remember: stay calm and keep on gaming!

Wow, as a video game magazine they should be embracing the premise and setting a precedent…Not doing this.
So stupid…
That's horrible. From what I've heard, the connection between Joel and Ellie is one of the great things about the experience.
Right. For such a big games magazine, you would think that they would be aware of the characters' relation, and keep them both. It's the damn most important in the game!

Reviewed Turkey Tetrazzini
Feb 16, 2012 in Food Network Community Toolbox on FoodNetwork.com
"This was delicious! I used leftover turkey from Thanksgiving, and to accommodate some health concerns, I left out most of the salt and some of the garlic (which my hubby doesn't care for), love the Essence, used some spray rather than all the butter, and left it all in the dutch oven to 'cook.' Turned out great. """

I have a new computer using Windows 7. I need to change settings so it doesn't shut down with out me being aware of it. What do I need to change? Many thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I think you mean the computer is going to "Sleep". If you set Hybrid Sleep to "off" then your computer will not sleep. To set it off do the following. |
No, the computer totally shuts down as in off!!! |
I googled >computer shuts off by itself< got "About 5,740,000 results (0.21 seconds)" :-) Lotsa reasons. Most common theme seemed to be overheating. |
What brand is this computer? Is it still under manufacturer's warranty? |
Under Power Options in the control panel, besides sleep, are several choices. One is when to turn the computer off. Have you checked your settings? |
Perhaps the heatsink fan has quit, then computer will indeed shut down to protect the processor (CPU) If a desktop remove the side panel to see if the fan is spinning up, if a laptop feel the outlet for the air it will be on the side, back or bottom. Or if the computer stays running long enough download Speccy from Filehippo and run it to see your temps. Stay with the free version. Does the computer run for seconds, minutes or longer before shutting down? |
I will check the settings. I think Windows shut it down after completing some updates. This is what I want to stop. I never want it to shutdown without my knowledge. |

Short of editing the registry which may not be a good idea, I'm not sure you can prevent auto-reboot to complete updates. You could of course turn off "Automatic Updates". Set it to download them but let you decide when to install them. |

The mirrored fields are colored an even orange-gold, but surrounding the frosted head of Liberty is a thin line of light yellow-gold, highlighting the cameo effect. There is one small area of brilliance just below the ear of the frosted head, giving the appearance of a sparkling gem earring. The reverse is equally attractive from the standpoint of color, but there is some light porosity at the O in DOLLAR, and a minute lintmark above the A. These minor imperfections are only mentioned for future identification purposes. Rest assured that this will be a very popular item in the sale.

LAWRENCE — Fired city police officer P.J. Lopez started serving his 18-month sentence at a federal prison in Kentucky yesterday.
Lopez, 47, was convicted last fall in a bribery scheme involving M & W tow company of Lawrence. He was sentenced on Jan. 14 to 18 months in jail and was ordered to report to a federal prison on Feb. 24 to start serving his sentence.
Alex Cain, Lopez's defense attorney, said Lopez was flown to Kentucky early yesterday morning to start serving his sentence. Meanwhile, Cain said he has appealed the conviction in the case and asked for fines incurred in the matter to be reduced due to Lopez's financial problems, he said.
"We put in a request to the court to waive fees because he's broke," Cain said.
U.S. District Court Judge Mark Wolf sentenced Lopez to 18 months in federal prison, followed by three years probation and a $10,000 fine.
The father of four and 16-year police officer was found guilty of arranging a kickback scheme with M & W and its owner Wilson Calixto. The scheme involved Lopez purchasing several vehicles at reduced rates and receiving a $4,000 snow plow in exchange for sending an increase in police-ordered tows to M & W from December 2010 to January 2011.
M & W at that time was one of four city companies that towed for the city of Lawrence on a rotating basis. Calixto, who was granted immunity from prosecution in exchange for his testimony against Lopez, said he made roughly $150 for every tow ordered by police.
Also, Mayra Colon, who worked under the table at M & W, testified that after the FBI started questioning her and others about Lopez, she created a fake receipt showing Lopez paid $4,000 for the snow plow. She was later granted immunity from prosecution and told police she fabricated the receipt and made up the payment story.
During the weeklong trial last October, the jury deliberated for three hours before finding Lopez guilty of bribery, obstruction of justice and lying to a federal agent.
Prosecutors wanted Lopez to serve 27 months in prison followed by two years probation. Cain argued a prison sentence would bring financial ruin to Lopez's family and asked Wolf to impose three years probation.
The maximum penalties, under federal law, is 20 years in prison on the obstruction charge, 10 years on the bribery charge and five years for lying to a federal agent. Each charge carried maximum penalties of $250,000 each.

Fringe Salon is helmed by owners Kathleen and Therese, both of whom have two decades of experience working in salon environments. Their attentive staff of stylists boasts their own impressive resumes?members of the team have performed cuts and color treatments locally as well as for the Lifetime Channel. They use this expertise when consulting with clients preceding services such as full and partial coloring, organic keratin treatments, and cuts tailored to men, women, and kids.
Aiming to be a one-stop shop for beauty, the staff at Georgie Girls has created a salon that proffers both hair and body treatments. Stylists tend to locks with face-framing haircuts and coloring treatments, including several options for custom highlights. The spa section features massages and skin treatments including Swedish massages and facials, after which clients stroll out the doors looking like they went diving for coins in the fountain of youth.
Since the 1960s, family-owned-and-operated Salon de Colores has been sprucing their clientele with refreshing haircuts, styles, and color. The salon's styling team incorporates Paul Mitchell shampoos and conditioners into its repertoire of hair services, which includes blowouts, ombre color techniques, men's beard color, and highlights.
Owners and licensed aestheticians Sandra Cossa-Ortiz and Colleen McMahon tend to all of Dare to be Bare's clients, and the pair has garnered praise from Westchester Magazine for their warm personalities and thorough attention to detail. By incorporating ultrasonic vibrations into their treatments, they promote vitamin absorption, encourage collagen regeneration, and reduce wrinkles caused by frowning or impersonating a raisin. They also pamper skin surfaces with facials, diamond microdermabrasion, and laser hair removal. For clients inclined to more traditional hair-removal methods, Sandra and Colleen liberate hirsute patches using a lavender-chamomile-blended wax that lends skin a flower's smoothness and attractiveness to butterflies.
Hot stones and aromatherapy oils gently glide across the body inside private rooms at @ease Spa, unwinding tight muscles and calming tense minds. Aromatherapy is also used during facials to rebalance the complexion and make sure clients don't leave with their faces smelling like regular old skin. Other relaxing services at the spa include a full-body sugar or Dead Sea mud rub and Jin Shin Jyutsu, an ancient technique where light pressure is applied to 26 specific points on the body to relieve aches and improve respiration. No matter the treatment, the spa's massage therapists are glad to customize pressure to each guest's liking, and afterward, a complimentary sauna and shower await.
Robin's on Broadway, located in an elegant white Victorian house in Hillsdale, houses a collective of professional hair designers who specialize in creative hairstyling and custom and corrective coloring. The staff retools looks with a laundry list of services, eradicating unwanted bristles with waxing treatments and helping minimize the appearance of thinning hair. Cutting everything but corners, the salon relies on top-of-the-line products from such brands as Bumble and bumble, Aveda, and Biomega.


text: Sishu Prativa Utsav….charting new territorySibu Bhubaneshwar, 14 November 2007: In one corner of the school's large playfield, the stall was drawing a steady stream of children. At the entrance, a desk with a big voluminous book with blank pages seemed the centre of attraction for children. The young visitors peered into it with curiosity as the organizer explained: "It's a community story book. Anyone can start with an idea and the next child can take it further." By the evening, the book was almost complete as the young creative minds took the concept to a whole new level stitching up their ideas one after another to make one long story, replete with pictures and illustrations. That epitomized Sishu Prativa Utsav 2007, (Children's Talent Festival) a joint effort of UNICEF and the School and Mass Education Department of the Government of Orissa. A total of 450 students drawn from various schools from across the state were selected to take part in the two day festival beginning November 13. And there, faced with a series of innovative challenges, the children rose to the occasion. The highlight of the Festival was the workshop on the opening day on three different subjects – Children in Emergency Situations, Children in Socio-Cultural Situations and Children in School Governance - which tested them individually as well as in groups under different social circumstances. "We need to treat children as equals on par with adults. The objective of this year's festival is to respect them as individuals who have a social responsibility," said Minister for Woman and Child Development Pramila Mallick. The young ones showed the way. They presented their individual views and suggested solutions to bring about desired social change. What ensued was a colourful presentation on Children in Emergency Situations where they came up with narrations on natural calamities and ways to mitigate the impact of disaster. Divided into four different groups, the children displayed posters and presented dance dramas to drive home the significance of ecological conservation and the hazards of environmental pollution. Then they followed it up with the third round on Children in School Governance. Armed with reports, lectures, photographs, paintings, best practices and case studies described through poems and stories, the students, divided into four groups, presented the problems, discussed them and suggested solutions thereof. In the words of young Sudhansu Bala: "For wholesome growth, a child needs encouragement at home, in the school and also as an individual member of society. This festival gave us one such great opportunity to assess ourselves." Secretary, School and Mass Education Department Suresh Chandra Patnaik endorsed the view. The very objective is to give the children a right social ambience to grow into a conscious and responsible citizen and Sishu Prativa Utsav 2007 is a step in that direction. On the final day of the festival, the students charted out 10 recommendations which were presented to the State Government for its consideration. They were: Students continue to face discrimination on the basis of sex, caste, economic condition and physical disability. There is a strong need for sensitizing both teachers and students.

Part I : The Chase
RachelWhat was happening? I thought. I woke up from a bad dream, so I walked to my mommy's room. I saw a man in dull red and blue clothes. There were actually a lot of them. One wore a white doctor's coat. The man pushed my mommy down; he was going to pay! I looked at my mommy. She lay unmoving like she was cold on the ground by her bed. She looked scared.
Rachel! Get out of here now! I heard a voice in my head, and then I realized it was my older sissy. Colleen. Mommy says to leave now so go! I saw Colleen in the far corner of the room, with her knive ready. The window was open to her left so the wind blew at her long reddish blond hair. She was staring at me, and she saw that I was staring in the doorway. One of the men started to come towards me. She did her quick thinking and ran to me. None of the men noticed her though. She grabbed me and covered my mouth. She dragged me into her room and gave me a backpack. It was really heavy, but I'm not the one to complain, so I kept my mouth shut.
I really wanted to be like Colleen when I got older. She was really strong, smart and pretty. Colleen looked at me and told me to run to the woods in our back yard. I did what she told me to do and ran. No one noticed us as we ran past my mommy's room either. When we got out side, Colleen motioned to the woods. A wolf howled. What a cawink-a-dink. Colleen ran behind me. I saw her look back at a man in the window. He stood nervously dressed in black from head to toe. He looked like the boy who was with Colleen the day before. But it couldn't have been. He was too nice to do this to us. To my family. He was my babysitter. His blond hair got in his face as he yelled to the other mean guys. His dark green eyes looked really angry too.
He blew our cover. What a jerk. He was just a plain-old jerk. I couldn't think about that though. I had to get Rachel out of there as fast as I could. I grabbed her arm as we ran to the dense forest. It would give us some cover too. Rachel is only four years old, but she has been in a lot of chases like so. I had no idea this is what my dad meant just before he left. He said that Rachel, my brother and I, all had special abilities. Rachel had the ability to become invincible and vulnerable, which meant that she can become a stone rock, or like a ghost. She can also read anything or anyone's thoughts. Kind of creepy when she does it though. Kyle, my older brother, can tell if someone is lying, use the air and fire against someone (almost like he can control it), he can also duplicate himself or other living or nonliving things. I have invisibility, force field, and super speed. We all have the ability to fly, see in the dark, and healing powers…. Not really sure what some of them mean though…
I was running alongside of Rachel, she was beginning to become tired. And that was not good. I nudged her to keep running. I glanced up to see Kyle flying ahead. His eyebrows were high on his forehead, and his eyes wide. Something was wrong, already. Their right behind us!! Kyle just recently found out how to get Rachel's attention to get a message from him to me, using her. And it looks he had mastered it.
Kyle shot to the ground like a bullet. He caught one guard in the neck, he dropped like a rock. Kyle surged up for another round. I knew I needed to get up off of the ground, but Rachel hadn't yet gotten her turn on flying 101, so I was going to have to carry her. I picked her up and leaped off of the ground. A bullet whizzed past my ear. I got up to the altitude Kyle was at, and he took Rachel from my grasp. She was light, but it sure made a difference.
I looked down, at the scientists and their puny guards. I saw James; he was staring into my eyes. I looked away before he could get into my head. I flew towards Kyle; he still had Rachel in his arms. She had fallen asleep. She looked harmless in her Hello Kitty pajamas, and her blond hair in a ponytail. I knew that we had to get to the ground far away from the people who attacked us.
"Let's go down in the forest, they'll never find us in there." Kyle said, although he said it because Rachel might have felt like dead weight. I started to the woods when a cry stopped me. Kyle handed Rachel to me and flew fast back into the house. I had forgotten about Anna, my baby sister, and my mom. Great.
I ran into the room where my little sister Anna slept. It was already filled with guards. My mother was cradling Anna in her rocking chair she used for all of us. I needed to get them both out, so I began to knock out the guards. One of them saw my and attacked. I ran around the room and multiplied myself. The first me went to war with the guard who saw me. The other four started to take out the others. My mother saw me, the real one.
"Get out of here!" She said handing me my little sister. "Get out before the head guard realizes you're here!" She opened the window and shoved me out. I flew up before I hit the ground and up to Colleen and the sleeping Rachel. This was going to be a long night.
When I got back to Colleen, she was falling. I quickly grabbed her arm.
"Okay, time to find a hiding spot." She said weakly. I nodded in agreement. I hauled her over to the cliff by our house and set her down on a rock.

Spending my vacation on the west coast I decided to give dirt biking at Doug's Oregon rental bike a try. I don't regret that. If you are out for a real physical and mental challenge in the beautiful wilderness of Oregon or Washington, then this is the thing to do. Under the reassuring guidance and coaching of Doug it feels like you beat any track. I can absolutely recommend it and will come back if I have a chance coming over from Europe again.
Pieter van der Straaten – Amsterdam
From private stock trails to hidden loops with superb pristine singletrack we've got memory makers.You will be surprised what you discover about offroad riding,and yourself.I only take your group that day,totally personalized.
Bikes to Rent
Beginner to pro's, come here to challenge themselves, I've got bikes to rent for all skill levels, the only one in the Northwest who rents hardcore offroad KTM's. If you want to up your game, train or get the ultimate shred come out and see me.
Why hire a guide?
To maximize your fun factor! Anyone can read a map, but can you put a loop together that totally rocks? A Pro rider faces the same potential issues as a novice,Mechanicals,No fall zones,Injury,or just running out of daylight.This is not dual sport.Many times,there is no cell service for emergencies,or repairs.Once on the trail,we are on our own.
Personalized Private Day trips,with only you and or your crew,"
My two day adventure with Doug couldn't have gone better. He was the perfect host, guide, coach, motivator and will even share his food with you in the event you run out!!
His KTM's are amazing machines and Doug is constantly thinking about the perfect setup for the conditions we were riding in. From beginning to end, my experience with Oregon Motorcycles was one of enthusiasm and camaraderie.
The scenery and terrain are spectacular in this part of Oregon. You are in great hands with Doug. He loves what he does. ~ Bob Salter
I had a blast riding with Doug. He was extremely knowledgeable, safe, patient, and most importantly, FUN! Despite a range of riding abilities amongst me and my buddies, Doug ensured we all left with huge smiles on our faces. Whether you're an experienced rider or just getting started, I can't recommend Doug highly enough. Johnny Mack, Google
Doug provides the best ride experience you'll ever have. He knows all the trails like a human GPS and can customize your ride to fit exactly what you are looking for. His bikes are the best and his service is second to none. It's the best money you will spend when visiting Hood River or Portland.
Doug really made the day fun, and was great at coaching the three of us who had only ever ridden street bikes before. We had a blast riding through beautiful Fir Mountain and learning how to maneuver around obstacles, climb hills, and keep the bike in control. We ended our trip full of mud, sweat, sore muscles and a ton of memories…we'll be back for sure. Ken – Seattle

I want to thank you all for your help - I love reading this forum and always find it an inspiration. Many times I find myself saying "baby steps" and "just a few minutes can make a difference!"
After getting into a lethargic rut, I am finally back to using the SHE card system (like Flylady.) No, my house isn't spotless :-) But now I've written everything that needs doing down in my card file, and I know I just have to do my little tasks as scheduled and every day it will get a bit better. At night I go through my cards and see how much I have accomplished each day. There are always things that I didn't have time to get to, but I re-schedule them and don't let it get to me. I see what I have to do tomorrow, and then forget about it. It is nice to go to bed with a clear conscience (if not a clear dining table) knowing that I will eventually get everything sorted out - in time. Why lie in bed worrying about the mess of toys, the paint that needs scraping, the messy deck? Worrying is not getting anything accomplished - simply a waste of energy. Now I'm putting that energy into trying to create a peaceful home - even if it sometimes means just keeping my mind in order in the middle of chaos. Best wishes and a happy solstice to everyone! |

Good for you postum. Longest day of the year and we have 19.5 hours of daylight today. Good reason to celebrate. Gloria |
My kids are grown; When they were little we did art projects; blown out egg decorating; finger paint with starch & color; thats what they remember, along with making cookies, and camping and hiking, and they did clean up. NObody seems to recall whether the house was dusted or the porch painted. Prioritize; when they are grown and out---you will have the time to have an immaculate home if thats what you still want. I do regret days I stayed home from the beach to get the house straightened out, etc. at least the kids went. Its 5 a.m could't sleep and I am pressing levis for my husband's trip to Peru. I go to work shortly. So your life changes but its still full of goofy tasks. |

I agree, Marge. Hope my kids remember all the cookies and fingerpainting and sled rides in the snow. Maybe that'll dtract them from the image of me running the vacuum at 11:30 p.m. and always doing laundry! LOL |

Much our property is shady pinon pine- juniper forest. It would look great to have some rhododendrons scattered around under the trees if they'd survive the summer heat.and low humidity on the drip system. Any candidate varieties? Foliage is as important as flowering and large size would be a plus. |

The Southgate series of rhododendrons was created to withstand the hot weather of the Southeast and is relatively new to the market, so may be worth taking a look at. Unless, however, you have acidic soil, no rhododendron is going to grow well. The lack of atmospheric moisture will be another issue. All in all, it's pretty hard to imagine rhododendrons managing in a Southwestern climate. |
They are going to need so much fussing with in your climate, you really have to ask yourself if its worth it. I suppose it's possible some mountaineous parts of Arizona have a thin layer of acid soil. Here are some broad leaved evergreens it would make sense to try first: Heteromeles: http://cals-cf.calsnet.arizona.edu/arboretum/taxon.aspx?id=488 Arbutus arizonica or A. texensis various Manzanitas even Pittosporum tobira (I've seen them in old parks in Barcelona were I suspect they get no supp. water; but you would need to water them. However they are heat & dryness tolerant for something so lush looking) If *I* were going to try one in zn 8 Arizona, I'd try a Rhododendron arboreum subspecies delavayi or zeylanicum from the RSF. Very heat resistant, and perhaps even more dry heat resistant than the Southgates, which were really bred for the constant high heat & humidity of the SE. These southern R. arboreum strains must endure a hot spell in early summer before the Asian monsoon starts. |
As you can see, 'Noyo Chief' was voted a Rhododendron of the Year for the Southwest Chapter. (whose very existence is somewhat confounding; perhaps you should reach out to them to get more advice on your situation. You might even find out there's a nearby collector!) R. arboretum 'Niligiricum' is either another southern Indian subspecies or is now synonymous with 'Zeylanicum'. At any rate, it should resist dry heat well. Of course, it will still need to be watered and have acid soil. |

BMW's announcement of a hybrid-electric sports car isn't the only electric news coming from the automaker today -- in fact, the company announced it's finally broken ground on a plant expansion in Leipzig, Germany, which will allow the company to build its forthcoming Megacity electric city car.
Earlier this year, BMW formally gave the Megacity the green light for production, announcing the car would be assembled in BMW's Leipzig factory. Although the same plant presently builds other Bimmers, including the 1 Series, the Megacity will apparently receive its own dedicated production area. The expansion, which will run BMW some $565 million, should be completed by 2013.
"By producing the Megacity in Germany," BMW chairman Dr. Norbert Reithofer said in a prepared statement, "BMW is demonstrating a clear commitment to Germany as a high-tech location. This will be the world's first volume-produced car with a passenger compartment made from lightweight carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP), as less weight enables a longer range."
Although BMW is breaking ground on the Megacity's final assembly line, the company has been working to establish a supply chain and production venue for the massive quantities of carbon fiber demanded by the Megacity design. In a partnership with SGL Automotive Carbon Fibers, BMW opened a plant in Moses Lake, Washington, which is tasked with processing raw polyacrylic fibers (sourced from Japan) into actual carbon fiber. From there, the product is shipped to Wackersdorf, Germany, where the fibers are woven into a usable fabric. Following that, the woven material is shipped to a BMW facility in Landshut, Germany, which crafts the sheets into actual automotive parts.
BMW won't be building powertrain components for the Megacity in Leipzig (that task is performed by a facility in Dingolfing), but the facility will hire 800 additional employees to produce the EV. BMW plans on cutting the plant's power and water consumption by 50 and 70 percent, respectively, but until technology advances, the company can't cut production costs -- in fact, Reithofer has indicated the company will lose money on the first-generation of cars.

Japanese stock futures fell after the yen rose to a five-week high against the euro as the Bank of Japan starts a two-day policy meeting today, damping the earnings outlook for exporters. Australian futures declined after oil dropped, sapping demand for growth-sensitive shares.
American depositary receipts of Canon Inc. (7751), a camera maker that gets 31 percent of its revenue in Europe, slid 0.6 percent from the closing share price in Tokyo. Those of Woodside Petroleum Ltd. (WPL), Australia's second-biggest oil and gas producer, sank 0.6 percent. Shares of Saizeriya Co., which operates a restaurant chain, may be active in Tokyo after cutting its operating profit forecast.
Futures on Japan's Nikkei 225 Stock Average (NKY) expiring in September closed at 8,835 in Chicago yesterday, down from 8,860 in Osaka, Japan. They were bid in the pre-market at 8,850 in Osaka at 8:05 a.m. local time. Futures on Australia's S&P/ASX 200 Index slid 0.5 percent today. New Zealand's NZX 50 Index dropped 0.2 percent in Wellington.
"A stronger yen weighs on exporters and falling oil prices may push raw-material shares lower," said Hiroichi Nishi, an equities manager in Tokyo at SMBC Nikko Securities Inc. "Meanwhile, expectations for global monetary easing gives the market a floor. As the BOJ starts meeting today, some expect it to ease its policy further and boost asset purchases."
Futures on the Standard & Poor's 500 Index (SPXL1) were little changed today after the index lost 0.8 percent in New York yesterday, falling for a fourth day in the longest losing streak since May.
Yen, BOJ
The yen touched 97.23 per euro yesterday, the highest level since June 5. A stronger yen cuts the value of exporters' overseas earnings when repatriated and weighs on Japan's export- driven economy.
Ten of 17 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg News expect no change to monetary policy at the end of the BOJ meeting tomorrow. Nomura Securities Co. and Tokai Tokyo Securities Co. see possible increased purchases of riskier assets including exchange-traded funds.
Crude oil for August delivery declined $2.08 to settle at $83.91 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
The MSCI Asia Pacific Index (MXAP) gained 2.4 percent this year through yesterday, compared with a 6.7 percent advance by the S&P 500 and a 4.5 percent increase by the Stoxx Europe 600 Index. Stocks in the Asian benchmark are valued at 11.8 times estimated earnings on average, compared with 12.9 times for the S&P 500 and 10.7 times for the Stoxx 600.
Chinese equities traded in the U.S. posted the longest losing streak in a month after slower-than-estimated imports added to evidence that the world's second-largest economy is flagging. The Bloomberg China-US Equity Index of the most-traded Chinese companies in New York fell for a third day, dropping 1.8 percent to 87.97 yesterday.

Heavy snow took part of the blame for a 10% drop in the number of passengers carried by British Airways last month. BA said yesterday nearly 2.17 million people travelled on its planes in February, compared with more than 2.41m in the same month a year ago, when there was an extra leap year day. George Stinnes, the airline's group treasurer, said the shorter February and the snow disruptions had accounted for about 6% of the 10% fall in passenger numbers. BA added that market conditions remained "challenging" but were broadly in line with previous expectations.

Rolls-Royce celebrates delivery of 30,000 Model 250 engines
Sunday, 24 February 2008
Rolls-Royce has celebrated the delivery of its 30,000th Model 250 engine, with a ceremony at this year's Heli-Expo exhibition in Houston, Texas. The engine, a Model 250-C30HU engine, powers the MD Helicopter MD530F program.
Ken Roberts, Acting President of the Rolls-Royce Helicopter business, said: "Investment in new technology has been introduced regularly since Model 250 production began in the 1960s. This has enhanced the engine's power, fuel efficiency and time between overhauls.
"Today, over 17,000 Model 250 engines are in service with 4,500 operators in over 120 nations. The Model 250 family has accumulated over 180 million flight hours, providing an unmatched level of expertise in every conceivable operational condition."
"I'm pleased that we are able to celebrate this significant milestone with an equally significant customer in MD Helicopters."
Lynn Tilton, CEO of MD Helicopters, said: "We are honored to be part of this celebratory event at a time when MD Helicopters' great legacy has been restored to its former glory."
- The Model 250 is in full-rate production at the Rolls-Royce facilities in Indianapolis, Indiana. Originally developed as a 250 shp turboshaft / turboprop family to meet the needs of the U.S. Army, the Model 250 family has evolved into one of the industry's most successful civil and military turbine engine product lines, with four generations of powerplants.
- The latest Model 250-C47B turboshaft is a FADEC-equipped engine that produces 650 mechanical shaft horsepower (813 thermodynamic shp) at take-off.
- The Model 250 family includes a variety of types, including the 420-450 shp Series II turboshaft, the 420-450 shp Series II turboprop, the Model 250-K34 industrial engine, the military Model 250-C30R/3, and the 650-715 shp Series IV turboshaft.
- Rolls-Royce, the world-leading provider of power systems and services for use on land, at sea and in the air, operates in four global markets; civil aerospace, defence aerospace, marine and energy.
- It continues to invest in core technologies, products, people and capabilities with the objective of broadening and strengthening the product portfolio, improving efficiency and enhancing the environmental performance of its products. These investments create high barriers to entry.
- The success of its products is demonstrated by rapid and substantial gains in market share. The company now has a total of 54,000 gas turbines in service worldwide and they generate a demand for high-value services throughout their operational lives.
- Rolls-Royce has a broad customer base comprising 600 airlines, 4,000 corporate and utility aircraft and helicopter operators, 160 armed forces, more than 2,000 marine customers including 70 navies, and energy customers in 120 countries. Rolls-Royce is a technology leader, employing 38,000 people in offices, manufacturing and service facilities in 50 countries.

The office of the US Dept of Defense's office of test and evaluation has found the Boeing P-8A Poseidon isn't yet mission effective and has some key "deficiencies" in its systems.
The section on the P-8 in the office of T&E head, Dr Michael Gilmore's annual report into major programs was based on operational testing of the aircraft conducted between September 2012 and March 2013, and found problems with the aircraft's radar performance, sensor integration and data transfer.
In the report, Gilmore said that "Many of these deficiencies" led him to determine the P-8A "is not effective for the intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance mission, and is not effective for wide area anti-submarine search" when subject to realistic combat testing.

The Ground Zero Mosque and The Obama Administration
The debate over the "Ground Zero Mosque" presents two separate questions: (1) Whether the mosque is wrong and should be stopped. (2) Whether some arm of the government should be the ones to stop it. Tellingly, liberal defenders of the project have talked almost exclusively about the second point, and avoided the first.

Kristallnacht anniversary: Controversial Jewish speaker sparks Jewish ire in Germany
Grosser himself has hinted that Frankfurt city officials wanted a speaker who wouldn't ritualistically speak on a subject Germany is well-acquainted with. But the German Council of Jews protested angrily that Grosser's invitation be revoked, arguing his credentials and attitude are inappropriate for the occasion.
Jewish leaders say they will attend Grosser's talk, but walk out if he raises the subject of Israel.
'Could be an interesting evening'
"Trouble is brewing in Frankfurt," is how Der Spiegel played it last week. Yet in a sense, analysts say, the matter-of-fact press analysis and lengthy interviews with Grosser is evidence of change and more openness about Germany's most sensitive subject. "It could be an interesting evening," as Der Spiegel summed up.
Grosser's invitation in this view is another example of Germany becoming a "normal nation." More than 65 years after the war, Germans believe they have faced the Holocaust; they built a vast memorial in the center of Berlin. Unification brought a new era. Last week, the first postwar female rabbi was ordained in Germany. In October, the first public Hitler exhibition opened in Berlin that steadily reminds you "that Hitler was a Bad Thing," as political author Timothy Garton Ash points out.

Importance Although brief intervention is effective for reducing problem alcohol use, few data exist on its effectiveness for reducing problem drug use, a common issue in disadvantaged populations seeking care in safety-net medical settings (hospitals and community health clinics serving low-income patients with limited or no insurance).
Objective To determine whether brief intervention improves drug use outcomes compared with enhanced care as usual.
Design, Setting, and Participants A randomized clinical trial with blinded assessments at baseline and at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months conducted in 7 safety-net primary care clinics in Washington State. Of 1621 eligible patients reporting any problem drug use in the past 90 days, 868 consented and were randomized between April 2009 and September 2012. Follow-up participation was more than 87% at all points.
Interventions Participants received a single brief intervention using motivational interviewing, a handout and list of substance abuse resources, and an attempted 10-minute telephone booster within 2 weeks (n = 435) or enhanced care as usual, which included a handout and list of substance abuse resources (n = 433).
Main Outcomes and Measures The primary outcomes were self-reported days of problem drug use in the past 30 days and Addiction Severity Index–Lite (ASI) Drug Use composite score. Secondary outcomes were admission to substance abuse treatment; ASI composite scores for medical, psychiatric, social, and legal domains; emergency department and inpatient hospital admissions, arrests, mortality, and human immunodeficiency virus risk behavior.
Results Mean days used of the most common problem drug at baseline were 14.40 (SD, 11.29) (brief intervention) and 13.25 (SD, 10.69) (enhanced care as usual); at 3 months postintervention, means were 11.87 (SD, 12.13) (brief intervention) and 9.84 (SD, 10.64) (enhanced care as usual) and not significantly different (difference in differences, β = 0.89 [95% CI, −0.49 to 2.26]). Mean ASI Drug Use composite score at baseline was 0.11 (SD, 0.10) (brief intervention) and 0.11 (SD, 0.10) (enhanced care as usual) and at 3 months was 0.10 (SD, 0.09) (brief intervention) and 0.09 (SD, 0.09) (enhanced care as usual) and not significantly different (difference in differences, β = 0.008 [95% CI, −0.006 to 0.021]). During the 12 months following intervention, no significant treatment differences were found for either variable. No significant differences were found for secondary outcomes.
Conclusions and Relevance A one-time brief intervention with attempted telephone booster had no effect on drug use in patients seen in safety-net primary care settings. This finding suggests a need for caution in promoting widespread adoption of this intervention for drug use in primary care.
Trial Registration clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT00877331
aInclusion criteria were age 18 years or older; self-reported use of an illegal drug or nonprescribed medication (ie, problem drug use) at least once in the 90 days before screening19; English-speaking and able to read and understand screening and consent forms (sixth-grade literacy); currently receiving and planning to continue care in the clinic; and having telephone or e-mail access to facilitate scheduling follow-up assessments. Exclusion criteria were attendance in formal substance abuse treatment in the past month (excluding self-help groups such as Narcotics Anonymous); high risk of imminent suicide; life-threatening medical illness; severe cognitive impairment; or active psychosis. Data for reasons of exclusion are not available.
The Addiction Severity Index–Lite (ASI) Drug Use composite score accounts for frequency of use and associated problems for all drugs used, excluding alcohol and medications taken as prescribed (range, 0-1; 1 indicates greatest severity).

Taylor Swift Covers "I'm Every Woman"
Whoa; now here's a stretch!
Check out this cover of the 1978 Chaka Khan classic "I'm Every Woman," performed by none other than Taylor Swift.
The song was apparently recorded as an early demo for the 19-year-old country sensation. Pretty bold move, fusing country and disco, but we guess she didn't call her new album Fearless for nothing.
Let us know in the comments section: Is this an unearthed gem, or is there a reason this song was never released?

Shuffle Master falls as 3Q results miss estimates
NEW YORK (AP) — Shares of Shuffle Master Inc. slumped in aftermarket trading Monday after the slot machine and gambling table maker posted disappointing fiscal third-quarter results, weighed down by greater executive costs.
Shuffle Master said its net income and revenue both improved, citing increased leases of its MD3 shuffler and greater sales of premium and progressive games. However the company said its expenses increased after it hired a chief strategy officer and filled its general counsel position. Its scuttled attempt to buy online poker provider Ongame Network Ltd. also contributed to its higher costs, and company's the results fell short of Wall Street expectations.
Shares of Shuffle Master lost $1.13, or 7.3 percent, to $14.30 in aftermarket trading following the release of the earnings report. The stock rose 20 cents to $15.43 during the regular trading session.
The Las Vegas company's net income rose 14 percent in the quarter ended July 31 to $10.4 million, or 18 cents per share, from $9.1 million, or 17 cents per share. Revenue increased 9 percent, to $63.4 million from $58.3 million.
However analysts expected net income of 20 cents per share and $68.3 million in revenue on average, according to FactSet.
Shuffle Master agreed to buy Ongame Network in March for as much as $39 million as it tried to capitalize on legal online gaming. But in late June, Shuffle Master said it was pulling out of the deal because the acquisition no longer made sense in light of weakening business conditions in Europe.

I've had this plant for about 3 years. It has survived but barely, so about a month ago I moved it to a spot where I thought i might be happier. I planned to prune it after flowering but it just occurred to me that it may not sprout new foliage on those bare branches. As you can see (although I realize it's kind of hard on this photo), it's very sparse. I'd like to prune a bit for shape (it's lopsided at the top) but mostly for health. Any recommendations? |

Wow, Mike, that's gorgeous! My azalea has surprised me. It has looked much better after transplanting than ever before. I expected it to be shocked or something, esp as I hacked away at the root ball when I transplanted it since it seemed the roots had not expanded much. It bloomed well despite all this, and I'm going to attempt to prune it tomorrow. I guess I can tell the dead branches if they just snap off and don't show any green. I figure it will do best if I prune all that out. And I'll try to shape it a bit while I'm at it. (Sorry for the delayed response; I didn't get a notification of the reply) |

Azaleas move with little problems. In fact, moving them sometimes is the best move you can make. More often than not though, giving them some time where they're at is the best move. That wasn't much help, was it? ;-) Cut off the dead stuff and go from there. Mike |
Thanks Mike. I pruned out the dead stuff and shaped it a little today. It had just finished blooming so hopefully my timing was good. Not sure how azaleas behave. Hopefully it will put on new growth and fill in some . . . time will tell. |

With all of the focus on Reebok's mid-90's Basketball output, let's not forget about some of the earlier classics that really put Reebok in that number 1 spot! This classic colorway of the Reebok Pump Omni Lite was worn by high-flying guard Dee Brown who won the 1991 NBA Dunk Contest with his famous no-look Dunk, but he really put the shoes on the map by pumping up the shoes before performing his double-clutch reverse jam. This OG Omni Lite did in fact re-release in late 2009, but with the energy around the brand at an all-time high, it's definitely worth another go-around at retail, don't you think? Euro retailer SneakersnStuff just stocked these, but expect a release in the US soon (we'll keep you notified of a release date).
