I think Maggs would be a good fit, but I don't see that happening. There is a kid in the minors ready to take over 2B isn't there? Or am I thinking of someone else? If not, they need to get a good 2B to replace Kent of course. Other than that maybe pick up a bench guy who is a Chone Figgins type who can play multiple positions well since there is so much uncertainty at this point. Oh and hope Clemens comes back and Pettite's elbow is back to what it was with the Yankees.

Fielding is the only thing that's keeping him from getting significant PT isn't it?And true, then do need a good setup man. I wonder if OAK is looking to deal Dotel?

Jane Fonda's "unforgivable mistake"
tags: Vietnam, Vietnam War, Jane Fonda, Hanoi Jane, Hanoi"I made one unforgivable mistake when I was in North Vietnam, and I will go to my grave with this," Jane Fonda says on the Oprah Winfrey Network.
The actress and activist made an infamous trip to North Vietnam in 1972 where she was photographed singing with members of the North Vietnamese military as she sat on an anti-aircraft gun.
She was criticized then — and ever since — and says she understands the anger....

NOGALES, Ariz. (AP) -- Federal officials are reporting a record seizure of marijuana at an Arizona crossing on the U.S.-Mexico border.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials held a Tuesday afternoon news conference to provide details on the seizure of more than 10 tons of marijuana at the Mariposa port of entry on the outskirts of Nogales.
That busy crossing point is used by commercial traffic, including trucks hauling Mexican produce into the United States.
The marijuana was in a tractor-trailer load of Mexican squash.
Director of Field Operations for the Tucson Field Office, Roderick Blanchard, credits his officers' diligence.
"Our continued success is a direct reflection of the caliber of officers serving at our ports," he said. "Their dedication and commitment is unmatched."
According to the CPB, the seizure surpasses the previous record seizure in Arizona of 14,121 pounds, or slightly over 7 tons, of marijuana on Jan. 15.
The agency says the seized marijuana is valued at more than $10.1 million.
The driver, Pedro Corona-Moreno, 32, of Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico, was arrested in connection with the seizure.

Edmonton Invitational LIVE with Ivanchuk, So, Kovalyov, Shankland, Krush...
1 comment:
That was a bad play of Wesley So against Penchenkin. Though a draw but that is -4.2 elo points. As I have observed, Wesley playing white has a poor opening reportoire but great middle and excellence end game... however he blundered at the end... Time was not on his side and his penchant of consuming time at the end game is costing him especially if his opponents is playing just to draw. He is an attacking player but he allowed his opponent to dictate his pace with the all pawn advance by blacks... a pawn blockade that prove to be the decider. Madam Susan please teach Wesley good openings and tell him not too consume too much time as not all the time his would lucky. Good thing this was an improved Wesley otherwise he would have lose. Just disappointed with the way Wesley played the white, guess he finally got tired with all those nail bitting end games in the previous games. :(

Have I read "Marriage Plot"? No. "Iq84"? No. "Cat's Table"? No. "Rules of Civility"? No.
Why? Because I'm obsessed with Derek Raymond and learning the Queen's slang. If you're not English best to have an English friend at hand or at least Google so you can understand what you're reading.
"Berks, tealeaf, coming the acid, moody, punter, SE12, John Bull, done bird, pettifogging" ? Hmm…
Yeah, the underbelly of London in the 1980's – shocking, evil, gruesome, brutal, Jack the Ripperesque, but with such fabulous writing that you'll be bowled over.
First person narrator. The Sergeant without a name who works in London's Department of Unexplained Deaths: "We work on obscure, unimportant, apparently irrelevant deaths of people who don't matter and who never did...No murder is casual to us, and no murder is unimportant, even though murder happens the whole time in a city like this."
If you like really, really dark noir, try the Factory series (factory means "cop-shop") by Derek Raymond, nee Robin Cook (NOT the medical thriller author!), who said of himself, "I left the up escalator to ambitious sods like Kingsley Amis. I had the down escalator all to myself."
I'm having flashbacks as I write this.

Matthew Bush
Professor Matthew Bush, assistant professor in chemistry, has been selected as one of 126 Sloan research fellows for 2014.
Every year, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation has been awarding early-career scientists and scholars a two-year fund of $50,000 to further their research.
Matthew Bush, UW assistant professor of chemistry, was one of 126 Sloan Research Fellow recipients for 2014. This is the fifth year the UW has produced a Sloan Research Fellow. Three UW faculty members were named in 2013, 2012, and 2010, with six receiving the award in 2011.
Bush was the only recipient of this year's fellowship from the UW. According to the Sloan Foundation announcement Feb. 18, the fellowships are given to researchers in the United States and Canada, whose achievements and potential identify them as rising, scientific leaders.
"I've known Sloan Fellows in the past, so it was a great honor. Not a lot of people in my area have received this award before," Bush said. "Federally sponsored research is strained, [so] having flexible funding at this critical point in my career is really important, it opens more doors."
Bush joined the chemistry faculty at the UW in 2011, and has been researching with the Bush Lab for two and a half years. The Bush Lab consists of six graduate students and one undergraduate. His group's research focuses on the development and application of mass spectrometry and ion mobility spectrometry techniques. These studies explain the structures and assembly of protein complexes and subcellular machines. Protein complexes are different structures of polypeptide chains, formed from amino acids. Subcellular machines help examine what's occurring within a cell.
Kimberly Davidson, a graduate student from the University of Oregon, said joining the Bush Lab has opened her eyes to see chemistry from a different perspective.
"It's exciting to have a PI (principal investigator) that's so eager and motivated about science," Davidson said. "Since only 126 professors receive this award, this recognition puts him on the map as an innovative scientist, who's able to come up with new ideas, put them out there, and produce results."
Ken Laszlo, a graduate student from the Georgia Institute of Technology, joined the Bush Lab in summer 2012 to research protein structures. Laszlo said the research group has drastically affected his study of chemistry.
"The Sloan Research Fellow is very prestigious. The research and what Matt's proposing is being recognized, so we feel like what we're doing is important," Laszlo said. "Some of the systems we're looking at can be used in broad clinical applications, treating a million different diseases. We're really fortunate to have somebody willing to support us."
Dr. Paul L. Joskow, president of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, said Sloan Research Fellows are pushing the boundaries of scientific knowledge in unprecedented ways.
"The Sloan Foundation has been proud to honor the best young scientific minds and support them during a crucial phase of their careers when early funding and recognition can really make a difference," Joskow said in a statement.
Bush said the grant will be used toward building instruments, understanding structures of biological molecules, and investigating proteins related to human disease. Bush hopes to use the funding to continue new projects that had no outside funding, and as a gateway for new directions.
"We started off with an empty lab space. Over the two and a half years, I've seen the growth of my students and projects. It's really remarkable to see where we are now," Bush said. "I really appreciate the support and congrats from my colleagues and the university."

I started the project up in February. I hosted it myself quite often, actually.. But as of late i have been working on so many other projects it fell into my code vault (AKA: C:\Users\Zerg\Code) and i forgot to keep it updated. Now, my hosting machine is used for a bit more professional work, and adding a BYOND hosting environment would be a hassle with my current security settings and free time.
Thus, i have released a public host version. Enjoy :)

Guidance for Health Care Providers
Key Medical and Public Health Interventions After Identification
of a Suspected Case
What is anthrax?
Anthrax is a disease caused by bacteria that create spores. People
can get sick when spores enter the body. Spores can enter the body
in different ways and cause different types of illness. When the
spores enter through a cut or sore, a skin infection can occur.
When the spores are breathed in, they may cause serious breathing
problems. When they are in meat that is not cooked enough before
it is eaten, an illness of the intestine may result.
Who gets anthrax?
Anthrax occurs naturally in certain wild and domestic animals (e.g.,
cattle, sheep, goats, camels, antelopes, and other herbivores),
most commonly in South and Central America, Southern and Eastern
Europe, Asia and Africa. Anthrax occurs occasionally in animal herds
in the United States. It can also occur in humans who come into
contact with infected animals or contaminated animal products (e.g.,
hides, hair, wool, bone, bone products, and wool).
How is anthrax spread?
Spread of anthrax from one person to another is extremely rare.
People get sick when they come in contact with spores that are in
the soil and in animals or animal products in parts of the world
where the disease occurs.
Could anthrax be used for bioterrorism?
Yes. Anthrax is one of the agents that could be used for bioterrorism
because it could cause increased illness and death in the population
if used as a weapon. In September 2001 in the United States, anthrax
spores were sent to several locations through the mail. Twenty-two
people got sick, five of whom died. Information about ways to identify
suspicious mail can be found on the U.S. Postal Service website
at www.usps.com.
What are the symptoms of anthrax?
The symptoms of anthrax are different, depending on the type of
exposure. When the spores enter through a cut or sore, a painless
lesion appears, which eventually forms a black center. Swelling
of lymph glands close to the lesion may occur. When the spores are
breathed in, symptoms may resemble influenza and without early treatment,
may progress to severe breathing problems and even death. When infected
meat is eaten, initial symptoms are nausea, loss of appetite, vomiting,
followed by abdominal pain, vomiting of blood and severe diarrhea.
How soon after exposure do symptoms
Symptoms usually appear within 1 to 7 days after exposure, but the
time period may vary depending on how the spores enter the body.
How is it diagnosed and treated?
Anthrax is diagnosed through special laboratory tests. Samples may
be taken from different parts of the body, depending on the type
of anthrax (e.g., blood, skin lesions, or respiratory secretions).
Specific antibiotics can be prescribed by a doctor to treat anthrax.
To be effective, treatment should start immediately. If left untreated,
the disease can be fatal. The most serious type of anthrax happens
when the spores are breathed in.
What can be done to prevent the spread
of anthrax?
Vaccination of people in high-risk occupations can reduce the spread
of anthrax (see below). Careful handling of dead animals suspected
of having anthrax; providing good ventilation (air flow) when processing
hides, fur, hair or wool; and vaccinating animals can help prevent
anthrax. If a person has had a known exposure to anthrax, vaccination
and/or antibiotics may prevent the disease.
Is there a vaccine for anthrax?
There is a vaccine for anthrax, but it is recommended only for the
following groups: 1. People who work with anthrax in a laboratory;
2. People who work with animal hides or furs imported from high-risk
areas; 3. People who will have repeated exposures to anthrax spores
(e.g., workers investigating areas contaminated from a bioterrorist
attack); 4. People who handle animal products in high-risk areas
(e.g., veterinarians who travel to work in countries where anthrax
incidence is higher); and 5. Military personnel who work in areas
where anthrax could be used as a bioterrorism weapon.
The vaccine is not currently recommended for others.

Using Concurrent CFD to Design Household & Domestic Appliances
On-demand Web Seminar
There are currently no dates scheduled for this event. However a recording of a previous session is available as an on-demand web seminar.
View This On-Demand Web Seminar NowOverview
The world of household & domestic appliances is rapidly changing and having to adapt to new manufacturing pressures as well as fluctuating consumer styles and tastes. Appliance designers and engineers are therefore under increasing pressure to improve product performance, get new products to market faster than ever before, ensure product reliability along with compliance to product warranties, and, just as important, differentiation of their product offerings relative to very competitive global landscapes.
This webinar will demonstrate the use of a CAD-embedded concurrent Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) approach in the prediction of temperature distribution and rise within an oven and across a hairdryer air jet, how their homogeneity can be improved, and how such factors as choice of fans, their curves and mass flow characteristics can lead to better appliance performance by upfront design. Effectively, the more uniform and homogeneous the temperature inside an oven or at the nozzle tip of a hairdryer is, the better cooked a given meal or the better the drying of hair will be. To improve and control product performance engineers and designers can typically alter geometrical features inside a hairdryer or add a fan and convect air from the inside of an oven to the double walls around it. These sorts of early-design parametric studies will be demonstrated in this webinar.
The business case for Return on Investment (ROI) in the utilization of a CAD-embedded CFD flow simulation approach in the household & domestic appliance industry will be offered to illustrate the benefits to be gained from embedding CFD inside your design process. The overall goal is to design better quality products with fewer reliability problems quicker than ever before.
What You Will Learn
- How CFD software can help you determine thermal and airflow fluxes inside domestic & household appliances
- How CFD software can help you improve your existing equipment design processes
- How you can analyze 'what if' designs before prototype build in the upfront stage
- How easy it is to provide detailed Word and Excel reports to your design and management teams

The Cross of Redemption: Uncollected Writings | By James Baldwin | Pantheon Books | 320 pages, $26.95
To introduce The Cross of Redemption, a new book of uncollected writings by James Baldwin, editor Randall Kenan evokes other modernist giants who "dared put so much demand on the language." Kenan places his subject in the company of William Faulkner, Virginia Woolf, and Malcolm Lowry. But these other literary polymaths tended to save their pyrotechnics for their fiction. Baldwin shone in that other form, the one Gay Talese has bemoaned as "the Ellis Island of literature" (although it has surely gained some cachet since Talese's salad days): literary nonfiction.
A preacher's son, Baldwin grew up in Harlem as a teenage evangelist, entering the pulpit at fourteen and abandoning it three years later. In his nonfiction above all, one can see that the skill for oratory stayed with him—transferred to the page for a wider audience. His language could sometimes be baroque. Yet his message always cut straight through, even when his opinions were hard to swallow. The reader feels compelled to keep reading, no matter how raw or unapologetic the subject material.
The Cross of Redemption showcases the sheer range of Baldwin's nonfiction. The volume includes essays and speeches, profiles, book reviews, letters (private correspondence as well as open letters to Angela Davis and Archbishop Desmond Tutu), and a handful of forewords and afterwords. We see Baldwin playing different roles over the course of his career: cultural arbiter, public figure, commentator. Readers will also find one short story, "The Death of a Prophet," tucked in at the end—although this lone fiction feels a bit like an interloper, a stray in a collection that already lacks for cohesion.
To be honest, this is not the cream of Baldwin's work as an essayist. There have been two previous collections, The Price of the Ticket and a posthumous Library of America volume, Collected Essays. And although the "lost" work gathered here is consistently strong in argument and style, not all of it is the author's best writing.
Still, there are numerous stand-outs. In "Black English: A Dishonest Argument," a speech given at Detroit's Wayne State University in 1980, Baldwin addresses the idea of "whiteness" and black identity in the Western world:
The black American has no antecedent. We, in this country, on this continent, in the most despairing terms, created an identity which had never been seen before in the history of the world. We created that music. Nobody else did, and the world lives from it, though it doesn't pay us for it. In the storm which has got to overtake the Western world, we are the only bridge between their history which is the past and their history which is the present…. [T]he world is not white; it never was white, cannot be white. White is a metaphor for power, and that is simply a way of describing Chase Manhattan Bank. That is all it means, and the people who tried to rob us of identity have lost their own.
Passages like the one above, which can also be found in "On Being White … and Other Lies" and "The White Problem," are as commanding in their discussion of race as Baldwin's book-length manifesto The Fire Next Time.
Another of the collection's strongest pieces is arguably its most entertaining. "The Fight: Patterson vs. Liston" shows how efficiently Baldwin could juggle character sketches and sports reportage. At one point Gay Talese, who was covering the same bout, makes a cameo appearance. This mini-portrait, written with obvious affection, is a nod at a master of the genre—but there is also an implicit comparison. Baldwin, the piece shows, is just as good.
Most importantly, The Cross of Redemption allows readers a glimpse of how Baldwin developed as a writer and thinker. The collection spans nearly four decades, from the 1950s through the 1980s. We see Baldwin wield the first person with precocious authority in two book reviews of Maxim Gorky's fiction, written when he was in his early twenties. This future master of the personal essay had already pointed himself in the right direction. Even the early, unvarnished "Death of a Prophet," about a young man coming to terms with his father's death, seems to anticipate Notes of a Native Son.

An ebulliometer is designed to accurately measure the boiling point of liquids by measuring the temperature of the vapor-liquid equilibrium either isobarically or isothermally.
The primary components in a Swietoslawski ebulliometer, which operates isobarically, are: the boiler, the Cottrell pumps, the thermowell, and the condenser. Such an ebulliometer can be used for extremely accurate measurements of boiling temperature, molecular weights, mutual solubilities, and solvent purities by using a resistance thermometer (RTD) to measure the near-equilibrium conditions of the thermowell.
The ebulliometer is frequently used for measuring the alcohol content of dry wines. See also Sweetness of wine and Oechsle scale.

Flood Recovery Efforts |
PAHO Assists Suriname in Flood Recovery Efforts
Washington, D.C., May 17, 2006 (PAHO)—The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) is providing expert disaster assistance to help Suriname cope with severe flooding that has affected up to 20,000 people and left large areas of the country submerged.
Flooding in Suriname Suriname ranks fourth in the world in access to water. This hydrologic abundance is also what makes the country vulnerable to flooding. But the floods of May 2006 were the worst in memory, especially for people living on the small islands in Suriname's Eastern Rivers. Read more... |
"The situation has improved somewhat in the western part of the country," says PAHO Representative Stephen Simon. "But in the eastern areas, people are living on small islands that are now completely flooded. Many people have received food rations, but clean drinking water and good sanitation are priorities, as is continued food assistance, since most of the affected families have lost all their crops."
PAHO has a permanent office in Suriname and was able to provide assistance early in the unfolding crisis. Its staff helped Suriname's National Centre for Disaster Control set up a crisis center, giving support on logistics, finance and administration, information technology, and communications.
With the country's water and sanitation under threat, PAHO brought in an international expert in sanitary engineering, who has carried out an initial assessment and made recommendations for improvement. In addition, PAHO has ordered a shipment of water purification tablets that will assure each family in the affected area an adequate supply of clean drinking water. "It's a simple measure that will help preventing cases of diarrhea among the displaced people in the area," noted Simon.
PAHO has also mobilized experts from its emergency and disaster program to assist in health needs assessment and resource mobilization. These experts are helping local health authorities reduce and control flood-associated health risks, including primarily malaria and diarrhea, and also potentially leptospirosis and typhoid fever.
At the request of Surinamese authorities, PAHO is also deploying its computerized humanitarian supply management system known as LSS/SUMA. A team of SUMA experts is providing support to the national response center and training local staff to use the system.

Child Anxiety Program
Child Anxiety Program
What is an anxiety disorder and how common are they?
Anxiety disorders are among the most common forms of childhood distress. Prevalence estimates for childhood anxiety disorders range from 6 to 16%, and a trend exists in which rates increase with age. Many of the anxieties seen in childhood are not uncommon in the course of normal development; however, childhood anxiety is a concern when the anxiety is extreme, lasts for a long time, and hinders family and/or child functioning. Anxiety disorders tend to be the most common mental health problem affecting children and are among the most effectively treated.
Who do we accept?
We treat parents of and children diagnosed with Separation Anxiety Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Social Phobia, Specific Phobia, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and other anxiety diagnoses that are the childs primary difficulty. If at any time it appears that your childs primary difficulty is not anxiety, our treatment program may not be the best fit. If this is the case, we will provide you with referrals to ensure that your child receives the best treatment possible.
What kind of treatment will my child be receiving?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used with all children in order to teach them skills to cope with anxiety-provoking situations. CBT is a treatment method often used to treat mood and anxiety disorders. CBT is based on the belief that our thoughts strongly affect our feelings and behaviors. That is, our behaviors and emotions are not necessarily caused by external factors (people, situations, and events). The benefit to this way of thinking is that we can change the way we think to feel better even if the situation does not change. Similarly, our thoughts and emotions are influenced by our behaviors. As such, changing behavior can have profound effects on mood and thoughts. In CBT, you will find treatment techniques that are cognitive in nature (modification of thoughts, distinguishing among emotions, problem-solving) as well as behavioral in nature (relaxation training, role plays, Show That I Can assignments, practice of newly acquired skills).
Does research support this treatment?
Cognitive-behavioral treatments have shown great promise in the treatment of childhood anxiety disorders. Numerous well designed research studies conducted in the United States and other countries around the world routinely find that approximately 60-70% of children who receive a cognitive-behavioral treatment for childhood anxiety disorders no longer have their primary anxiety disorder at the end of treatment. Some of these studies have followed these children for up to 7 years after treatment and continue to find them free of their primary anxiety diagnosis. Additionally, childhood anxiety disorders have been linked to depression and substance use in adolescence and adulthood. Many researchers have suggested that CBT for childhood anxiety disorders may reduce the numbers of children who go on to develop depression and substance use.
Who is present during therapy?
We offer therapy in a variety of formats (child only therapy, parent only therapy, and family therapy). After meeting with you, we can decide together which format is best for you and your child.
If your child is receiving child only therapy, you will still have an active role in your childs treatment. There will be at least two parent sessions throughout the course of your childs treatment. In these sessions, we will help you to develop the skills necessary to encourage your child to face his/her fears and use his/her coping skills. We also like to check in periodically with you to discuss your childs progress and answer any questions that you may have.
Regardless of the therapy format that your family is using, never hesitate to contact either your therapist or the Director of the Child Anxiety Program with your questions or concerns.
What actually goes on in therapy?
The first half of therapy (about 8 sessions) is all about learning skills. We teach your child the skills that he/she needs to be able to cope with fears and anxiety. Examples of the skills that your child will be learning include: differentiating among emotions, breathing deeply and relaxing, problem-solving, modifying self-talk, and rewarding efforts at coping.
During the second half of therapy (about 8 sessions), your child will practice the skills that he/she learned during the first half of therapy in increasingly anxiety-provoking situations. Your child will progress through a series of adventures or challenges during which he/she is placed in an anxiety-provoking situation and coached on using newly learned coping skills. Dont worry, we start with very mildly anxiety provoking situations. Then we slowly and deliberately work our way up to situations that provoke a greater degree of anxiety. This ensures that your child has developed a sense of mastery before moving on to the next adventure or challenge.
As may now be obvious, the second half of treatment is different for every child. No two therapy sessions will ever look the same. Each child brings a unique presentation of fears and worries to therapy, and the treatment outcomes are related to how well treatment targets your childs specific fears and worries. Therefore, we will be soliciting your help in planning for the adventures or challenges to ensure that we are targeting as many of your childs fears/worries as possible.
What are STIC tasks?
Show That I Can assignments, or STIC tasks, are the homework assignments of our treatment. STIC tasks serve two functions. First, they provide your child with an opportunity to practice the skills that were taught during the previous session. Secondly, they allow the therapist some insight into the childs understanding of the concepts and skills being addressed.
So what can I do to help?
No matter what format of therapy your child is receiving, you may at times feel limited in your ability to help and wonder if you are doing all that you can. Rest assured, there is much you can do to decrease your childs anxiety. In fact, we believe that the control over your childs anxiety is as much yours as it is your childs. During treatment, we will more fully discuss these ideas and provide you with specific techniques and strategies to facilitate parenting an anxious child.
How long will my child be in treatment?
Your childs treatment will take an average of 16 sessions, completed over a 20 week period. We will extend the time period of 20 weeks only if your family has been coming to sessions consistently and additional sessions are likely to be helpful.
Is it okay if my child misses a session?
If, due to circumstances beyond your control, your child must miss a session or two, it will not be detrimental to his/her treatment. However, consistent attendance and active involvement are some of the strongest predictors of positive therapy outcomes.
Additionally, we greatly appreciate your prompt arrival at therapy sessions. Our therapists have very busy schedules and often see clients back-to-back. Therefore, it may not be possible for your therapist to extend a session to make up for missed session due to a late arrival.
Can my child return to the Child Anxiety Program after his/her treatment is completed?
There is a possibility for booster sessions after your child has completed the program if it is agreed that these sessions will be beneficial. Just give us a call if your child begins to experience new problems or revisits some old ones.
Why am I paying a materials fee?
Every client must pay a $25 materials fee which is collected at the first session. This fee covers the cost of:
The Coping Cat Workbook that your child will be using throughout his/her treatment.
Rewards that your child will earn over the course of therapy when he/she accumulates points by completing the Show That I Can (STIC) tasks.
Games, paper, markers, and other therapy supplies used during treatment.

How to Tame Frizzy Hair
Are you thinking about starting a vegetable garden? If growing cucumbers is on your wish list, you're in luck: they're easy to raise almost anywhere. Read on to get the most out of your cucumber crop…
As food prices continue to rise and increasing numbers of families turn to more economic and healthy ways to eat, more vegetable gardens are popping up in backyards across the country – and around the world.
A staple in many of those gardens is likely to be the cucumber – that mild-tasting subtropical vegetable beloved by salad and wrap eaters and tolerated by most of the younger set.
Growing cucumbers is rather easy – it's the ideal vegetable to add to your garden.
So follow a few simple rules – from knowing the variety of cucumber to knowing how to grow cucumbers and get them to the table – and your cukes will impress your family and friends.
Types of Cucumbers
There are two kinds of cucumbers: those used for pickling and those used for eating fresh, right off the vine, according to VegetableGardeningIdeas.com. These types each include dozens of varieties, from some very colorful and unique rare strains to the hardy, standard green cucumbers that go so well with every summer dish.
Where, Oh, Where to Plant? Cucumbers grow on climbing vines which can be trained to spread out on the ground or climb up or down a pole.
If you have the garden space, plant your cucumbers in a series of small hills, spaced about 3 feet apart, with about four seeds per hill. Plant them about an inch deep in an area that gets plenty of sun – at least 6-8 hours of full sunlight a day, advises
. Make sure your garden can accommodate the spreading vines once they start stretching out from their mounds.
You also can plant cucumber seeds in a traditional row with about three seeds per hole every 3 feet. Place your rows about 6 feet apart.
If you're short on space, plant a few seeds at the bottom of a trellis, which will allow the climbing plant to grow up and along the trellis. This can be an attractive as well as functional feature for your garden or patio space. Placing two or three seeds in each hole will ensure that at least one of them makes it through the germination process.
Regardless of your growing method, cucumber plants will travel – either up or out – and they need plenty of space. As they're growing along the ground, you can train the vines to stay out of nearby crops. Also, consider growing cucumbers in containers or raised beds. Raised beds, which are gardens built up off the ground, also provide good drainage if your regular garden is lacking.
Feed Them First So They Can Feed You
The importance of good soil when growing cucumbers can't be understated. Good soil – with a bit of sand mixed in if you have too much clay – is essential for good drainage, as well as for nutrients that feed the plants as they grow. If you have poor soil – too high in clay, sand or rocks – don't give up your dream for the perfect cucumber crop.
Amending the soil is simple: Buy a bag or two of organic compost, available at farm and garden stores, home improvement stores, and most large department stores that carry nursery stock. Mix the compost with your soil, down to about 6 inches; then you're ready to plant.
With good soil to start with, your cucumber plants shouldn't need additional fertilizing as they grow. Your soil should have a pH of about 6.5; get an easy soil test kit from a garden center or your local Cooperative Extension Office. A good soil will help with drainage as well.
If possible, add mulch around your plants. This will help keep nutrients and moisture in and will aid in weed and pest control.
The Growth Process
Cucumber plants love sun and warmth, and benefit from a head start in the growth process. That makes them ideal candidates for a window garden. To get a head start, begin by planting seeds inside, preferably near a south-facing window, for the first 4-5 weeks of their lives. The seeds will need at least 6 hours of sunlight per day and warm temperatures at first to allow it to germinate and raise their first leaves out of the soil.
Cucumbers need good drainage. Weed carefully so as not to disturb the roots of the new cucumber plant.
Cucumbers need lots of water, but don't add too much water at first. The seedlings could wash away – this sometimes happens with a heavy rain – or rot under too much moisture. Once they have a pair of leaves, however, the plant is gaining strength and should be watered well once a week or more, especially during particularly dry or hot periods.
It will take up to 2 weeks to see your cucumber plants begin to poke out of the soil. Leave them alone during this period, as young plants are tender shoots that are easily damaged. The plant's yellow blossoms are the beginnings of your new cucumber crop.
The Harvest
A mature cucumber will be ready to pick in about 50-60 days from planting, depending on the variety as well as soil, water and temperature conditions.
It's important to thin out the seedlings once they appear. This means getting rid of unhealthy seedlings and keeping the strong ones so they don't crowd one another. You may need to pull up healthy-looking plants if the hill or pot is too crowded.
That's because if plants continue to grow too close together, they won't all have enough room to produce healthy roots, and your yield will suffer from this over-crowding.
Harvest cucumbers whenever you like, but if you allow them to grow too large, they will be bitter and filled with large seeds. Cucumbers that have spent too long on the vine also will have very smooth, yellowing skin. To harvest, twist them off the vine (the skin and vines may feel prickly) or cut the stems with a sharp knife.
Wash your harvest and eat them as soon as possible for the best taste and texture. Store extra cucumbers in a cool, dry place. Most will keep for 10-14 days in the refrigerator without losing much of their flavor and firmness.
Varieties Explained
For salads or eating off the vine, choose Orient Express, Ivory Queen (a white variety), Lemon or – the traditional favorite – Marketmore.
Different varieties can add visual interest and distinct flavor to salads or can headline their own dish by tossing with a bit of vinaigrette or olive oil.
For pickling, choose a variety specifically suited for harvesting when they're quite small, such as Homemade Pickles, Boston Pickling, Yellow Submarine or a hybrid variety. Ivory Queen is known for making good pickles as well. Pick cucumbers for this purpose when they are no more than 5 inches long. They can be harvested even smaller – less than 2 inches – to make sweet pickles or baby dills.
Some cucumber varieties are better than others for growing in containers. They include Pickle Bush, Pot Luck, Bush Champion, Spacemaster and Bushmaster.
When selecting a variety, read the cucumber seed packet thoroughly before purchasing to make sure you can accommodate the variety's needs for a successful crop. For example, some pickling varieties such as Homemade Pickles (available through The Cook's Garden) do best when grown on a trellis.
Most seed packets contain 20 or more seeds for growing cucumbers. Many first-time gardeners make the mistake of planting too many. A plant that's healthy from the start will yield dozens of juicy, tasty cucumbers throughout the season.

Nicole donates jersey to L Aquila earthquake fundraiser World Champ jersey auctioned to raise money On
Easter Monday Nicole Cooke took the opportunity donate her World Champion s
jersey to a special Auction in conjunction with the Granfondo Liotto, an
event Nicole rode as a guest in Valdagno, Italy, with all the money raised
going to the victims of the L Aquila earthquake which hit central Italy last
week. Seeing
the devastation and destruction following the L Aquila earthquake I really
wanted to do something to help the victims, even a small gesture in some way
to try and help the people hit by this natural disaster.
It seemed like a great opportunity, especially at Easter time
together with fellow cyclists, which is why we decided to hold a special
Auction with the cyclists of the Granfondo Liotto. This
is our way of using our
passion for cycling to help others and I am really proud of what we are
doing together to help the victims of the earthquake in L Aquila. Want to contact WomensCycling.net?

Pley Offers Netflix-Like Program for LEGO Sets
By Amy Ratcliffe on July 5, 2014
LEGO sets aren't cheap. Assembling bricks into objects like Death Stars and castles is rewarding and well worth the investment, but in addition to the money, you have to find places to display or store all your creations and supplies. What if you could borrow LEGO sets instead? Pley will let you do just that for a monthly fee – yes, it's like Netflix but for LEGO. Freaking brilliant.
The system works similar to any online lending service: shipping is free both ways and they have a catalog where you can choose from hundreds of sets and reserve them. Your first LEGO set is free, and then Pley costs $15 a month. Each package from Pley contains the bricks, instructions, and "a few exciting freebies and giveaways." And in case you're worried about germs from all the other kids and adults building the sets, Pley cleans and sanitizes the bricks between every use.
Besides the fact that you can save big piles of cash by using a LEGO lending service – that LEGO Death Star pictured above is almost $200 – you can add as many sets as you want to your Pley queue. They call it a Pleylist (see what they did there). You can choose from Star Wars, Batman, and medieval sets among others. There's no limit on how long you can keep a set either. You can spend all month working on a single project with no pressure to return it. Pley understands that sometimes pieces go missing too, so they won't charge you for them.
Finally, if you or your kid gets hooked on a set, you can purchase it from Pley at a discounted rate. Yeah, they're clever.
As someone who likes to assemble LEGO sets as a form of stress relief, I think this system is wonderful. I'm not sure that I'd use it on an ongoing basis but spending $15 once in a while to help maintain my sanity seems worth it.
What do you think about Pley? Let us know in the comments.
HT: The A.V. Club
No access to the Death Star for $15 a month! It's still a pretty cool idea, BUT it was much cooler when I thought I could play with any set for $15 a month.
Quote from Pley's website "three plans based on whether you want to rent small ($15/month), medium ($25/month) or large sets ($39/month). All plans provide members with multiple rentals per month – one set at a time"
Yeah, the $15/$25/$39 price point is terrible. I can BUY a small set every month for $15. I'm holding off on signing up for this until they realize how ridiculously skewed their prices are right now.
The price in the article for the Lego Death star is off by $200. MSRP is $399.99.
Done it for six months now… biggest pain is that you have to disassemble the kit completely before shipping it back. And I mean… every piece… which can be quite tedious on a 300+ piece set.
Beware… it costs more for the larger sets, and they don't tell you BEFORE you subscribe. Clearly bait-and-switch.
Big sets were more than I hoped. Still might be good for the nephews.

4-star DT Jay-nard Bostwick down to 3
By Derek Tyson
ESPN 300 defensive tackle
Jay-nard Bostwick
(Port Saint Lucie, Fla./West Centennial) has narrowed his choices down to three schools.
West Centennial athletic director John Messina said Bostwick will make his decision at 8 a.m. ET on national signing day. The 6-foot-4, 250-pound athlete, will chose between Florida, Alabama and Miami.
"Coach [Nick] Saban came by yesterday," Messina said. "Coach [Will] Muschamp was here in this morning. With all the stuff going on at Miami, we'll see how that affects him, but it's between those three schools."
Messina had nothing but positive things to say about his star defensive tackle.
"Have you ever seen the movie 'The Blind Side'?" Messina asked. "That's what type of person he is. He's huge, but he's one of the nicest kids you'll ever meet."
Bostwick visited Alabama on Jan. 11, Miami last weekend and will visit Florida on Feb. 1.
