I can move mountains and leap over oceans
Bokamoso Lebepe
Today I am not going to brag about all the amazing and rare seabirds that I see (I see Wandering Albatross when I am at sea!) and all the whales, dolphins and sharks that I encountered on my journeys at sea. Today I want to share with you how conducting at-sea trials changed my perspective on life. I...

Namibia takes positive steps to reduce seabird mortality in hake fisheries
Sarah Yates
Incidental bycatch in fisheries constitutes the major threat for many vulnerable populations of seabirds. Globally 300,000 seabirds are killed in longline and trawl fisheries where they are hooked and drown on baited hooks or are struck by trawl cables and dragged under water. Approximately 100,000 of...

Back on board with the demersal longline fleet in South Africa
Bokamoso Lebepe

Upon arrival to the harbour I found that the boat that I was supposed to join had already left port...

Welcome to Honolulu!
Crystal clear waters, crisp white sand, and cool shady palm trees are not the first thing that springs to mind when on a deep-sea fishing trawler. But we were in Honolulu, the proverbial paradise we see on TV, "where everything is hunky dory". That is how my skipper, Manfred, described the...

Since 2013 Birdlife partners in Ecuador, Peru and Chile have been monitoring small-scale gillnet fleets for evidence of interactions (termed "bycatch") with pink-footed shearwaters and other seabird species. In Peru there are tens of thousands of small-scale fishermen operating from over...

Workshop on gillnet and purse seine fisheries
Oli Yates
Each year an estimated 400,000 seabirds are killed in gillnet fisheries, while no estimates exist yet for purse seine fleets. Little attention has been given to purse seine fisheries as it was thought they had little impact on seabirds. Alarming new evidence is starting to change that perspective. ...

The car has the best seating in the industry. Heated for winter and cooled for summer. Handles wonderful
Not suited for a ranch vehicle.
Fast And Sexy — I enjoyed owning and driving the car immensely. The car is not suited to be driven on a ranch with dirt / rough roads. It is a joy in the city and on the highway. You can ride in it for hours and you are not tired.

2011 Cadillac STS Premium Review
Touring Car, more then enough pick up, great technology and safe vehicle.
TOO CRAMMED, everyone has to compromise if there are back seat passengers, i expect that in a mustang not a 60,000 dollar family sedan. Trunk is a pain because of the elegancy of a cadillac. WOuldn't buy again, but i would keep forever.
50/50 — It is a beautiful car, beautiful engine, with no need for more horses. Easy to do over 90 in and reckless if new driver because of power. Throttle lacks response time, 2 second delay between petal to floor and engine receiving power. Wouldn't buy again but would hold onto for a long time. Wasn't bought as a family car but a personal vehicle, if that makes sense.
Primary Use: Commuting to work

With Captain General Yamamoto giving him an opening, Ichigo goes in for the finishing strike against Aizen! But Ichigo will need the help of some new reinforcements if he hopes to defeat both Aizen and Ichimaru Gin!
Aizen's new powers are too much for even the combined efforts of Ichigo, Isshin, Urahara, and Yoruichi. But as Aizen and Gin head for the real Karakura Town, Ichigo decides to undergo intense training under his father's tutelage.
As Aizen strolls through Karakura Town, Ichigo undergoes furious training in order to master the one technique that could bring an end to the conflict. But when the battle is finally over, how will Ichigo's world have changed...?
After a long battle, Ichigo loses his Soul Reaper powers... Ichigo now leads a quiet and peaceful life until he is approached by a mysterious man. What does the man want and how does it relate to Ichigo's lost powers?!
Ichigo Kurosaki thought that Soul Reapers were the only ones hunting Hollows, but he was wrong. Enter Uryu Ishida, a Quincy, and possibly the last member of a powerful clan that died out over 200 years ago. Unlike Soul Reapers who strive to cleanse Hollows of their sins and send them to the Soul Society, Quincys adopt a more direct approach - they kill Hollows without hesitation!
Ichigo's return to an ordinary life is disrupted by a mysterious man named Kugo Ginjo. But what are Ginjo's true motives? And when a friend is attacked, Ichigo discovers he may have a chance to regain his lost Soul Reaper powers.
Knowing Tsukishima is after Ichigo, Ginjo continues the Fullbring training at a secret base. Ichigo is mastering Fullbring at an incredible speed and regaining his lost powers, but is he ready to face Tsukishima just yet...?
Ichigo continues his training to master Fullbring and hopefully regain his lost Soul Reaper powers. But as Ichigo gets closer, Ginjo makes a startling move. Can Ginjo truly be trusted? And what lies ahead for Ichigo when he finally regains his powers...?
Ichigo is rescued from the pit of despair once again by Rukia, and she's not the only member of the Soul Society who shows up to help out. Now having finally regained his true Soul Reaper powers, Ichigo faces off against Ginjo with no restraints.
After a long struggle, Ichigo finally regains his Soul Reaper powers thanks to Rukia. But as the battle against Kugo Ginjo heats up, Ichigo learns a shocking secret behind his role as a Deputy Soul Reaper. With the truth finally revealed to him, what action will Ichigo take?
The peace is suddenly broken when warning sirens blare through the Soul Society. Residents there are disappearing without a trace, and nobody knows who's behind it. Meanwhile, a dark shadow is also extending itself toward Ichigo and his friends in Karakura Town...
When a mysterious group of warriors calling themselves the Vandenreich attacks, Ichigo heads to Hueco Mundo to help his friend Nel. And when the Vandenreich takes the fight to the Soul Society, an all-out war between Soul Reapers and Quincies breaks out!

What to paint on...
I seem to have this issue where I get an item that I want to paint on but can't come up with what to do. Then it seems as soon as I post, I get an idea...so I'm posting to see if it works this time! LOL
Last summer DH bought a Mountain pie maker to use up back when we have camp fires. I managed to break the thing the first time I used it. It was in the shed and when we recently went to clean it, I decided to keep it because it seemed like something I could paint on and put up outside somewhere! LOL But I can't think what. For some reason I'm hung up on the idea that this is something you cook on and is used for camping but I need to think outside the box, I think! LOL
In case you have no clue of what I'm talking about or it's called something else in another part of the US, I found a picture on a website. Ours seem to me made from a lighter material (They're not the good, old kind!) and they're silver.
Here is a link that might be useful: Mt. Pie maker
The first thing I thought was take the handles off and stick it in the ground like a plant stake. ha If it "locks" it would make a great place for a hidden key. Gosh you could paint anything on it. Flowers, outdoor stuff, cabin things like a moose or bear, a flag, one of your saltbox houses, an angel. It doesn't look very big though and does it have an inprint in the metal? I've got to run the kids to school, but I'll try to think about it some more. ~Anj
You could paint a design on it, or even something simple like a checkerboard pattern around the edges and hang it on your shed if you have one. Everyone would think it was some kind of tool, and with your painting on it, it would add color and be pretty.
Or since it opens, you could open it up, put a plant in it and prop it somewhere or possibly hang it some where. Might have to use some wire to hold the handles in position.
Let us know what you finally come up with, okay?
I'm still thinking! LOL I spent yesterday doing laundry, cleaning up things outside, weeding. I wanted to finish my porch swing cushions and didn't get there. I hope to get to the Mountain pie makers soon, though. Thanks!

Fairy tale kitchen :)
I just love this kitchen! The window and range hood look like something out of a fairy tale. Of course, I would change the colors...and those lights :)
Does anyone else like this style?
I like it. What's not to like about this white/stainless kitchen~~~~ !!!!
I also like the gray crown molding and the gray trim around the window. And the sort of gray/tan countertops probably granite? I think the gray--or is it a kind of greige/green--gives a necessary soft emphasis to details of the room. How about that tiled border over the stovetop? Without my glasses, I cannot see what it is, but if it is nice birds and leafed twigs, then I'm all in favor of it.
However, as far as a kitchen to live with for the rest of your life, I think it has too much specific stuff that I'd like to change after a while. That's just the way I am. I like to keep it simple, because I know myself. Give me the big window, the stainless, the crown molding, a generic type of countertop and plain backsplash, and I'd be happy forever. I'm sure the painted range hood would end up all greasy and smoky, and a mess to clean. I'm more in favor of a good seamless stainless range hood easy to keep clean.
Lavender, you are a true romantic, and I admire the way you have such enthusiasm to look at new things. Until you insert yourself into the room, in any way you can, even at a showroom or in your dreams, you won't know....and you are willing to look into all the WHAT IFS. Thanks for bringing this latest kitchen to our attention. Some element of it just might be the inspirational touchstone for one of us.
ML- I don't like the finish on the range hood (it does look hard to clean) but just the overall shape. The window is beautiful, but probably WAY out of my budget! LOL
The backsplash does look like vines and birds...that's probably why I like it. Very Snow White :)
Lavender, once upon a time, I spent some time as the "chef" on a huge yacht with a gorgeous galley kitchen, mostly commercial sized appliances and a shopping budget to die for. It had a hood shaped like that one in it, only it was copper. Oye, let me tell you I was always cleaning the grease off there. The range below had a gas grill and six burners, and it was quite large. Some of my love for a gas stove originates with my experience using this one, but I want SMALL not large. When you have to get out a ladder to clean the stove hood, that is going too far. I want one that does not go all the way to the ceiling, but stops where it disappears into a cabinet or a soffit, to keep the cleaning down to floor level. And make sure that the sucking power is up to the job too.
And like Shades says, sometimes beauty wins over function. When you know what you like, you know what the beautiful things are that you will be willing to sacrifice your energy and time to keep looking fantastic.
I love the curve of the hood and the arched window. It's a very romantic space.
I love the curves on the windows, hood, upper cabinets, and niches; the backsplash over the stove is divine. The crown moulding and window trim are dreamy. The granite and stainless -not so much, but that's just me. Neither take away from the beauty of the kitchen.
I don't like granite and stainless steel, either, but I love the curves on the hood and the arched window!
Here's another fairy tale kitchen. Pretty fireplace and blue island...and I really like the chandelier :)
Enigma, I've wondered about the look of a cottage which has beadboard, white molding, old bathroom fixtures like a clawfoot tub and pedestal sink, and small panes of glass in cabinet doors.
Would that be considered masculine or feminine or both?
What is your perspective on it?
Good question- I'm a big fan of the cottage look, and I'm a guy. I consider myself fairly masculine, but I'm not crazy about overtly masculine design (unless it's in a man cave LOL!). I think so-called feminine design notes are more comfortable. It's easy to 'man up' a cottage look a little- add some black elements, like trim or tile, add a little chrome, and I think it heads in that direction without losing the coziness of cottage style. The more exposed plumbing from the old days also adds an industrial/masculine note. To cut a long story short- I think it's a fairly neutral style that can be taken in either direction- or both!
I think fairy tale is a feminine type of cottage style. Lots of curves and pastels, usually. It would be easy to make colors more neutral, add more wood and knock down a few curves, to make it more gender/neutral.
ML- I love your description of a cottage style bathroom. That's the kind of bathroom I want, with a claw foot tub and a dresser made into a vanity (with a pedestal sink in the half bath). Again, if you add a walk in shower and some basic tile, maybe a wood floor (even if it's vinyl) that would make it a little more masculine, too.
Adding pink (which I rarely do) puts the 'frou frou' in a room, so sticking to greens, yellows and blues (with maybe a few lavender or even pink accents, like flowers) keeps a room cottage-y, without going overboard. And, I'd ease up on the lace, compared to some of the pictures I've seen, too :)
Sarah Richardson's farmhouse bathroom is a nice combination of cottage, but still friendly to both genders, IMHO.
Very pretty, but I'd rather have something a little more 'fairy tale' for my vanity :)
And here's a link to Sarah's farmhouse main/family bath, which is blues with wood (and a little plaid) so more masculine, in my opinion.
Here is a link that might be useful: Blue main/family bath
Sorry I just can NOT keep my mouth shut on this one.Giggle.
Just add a recliner to any room=Masculine. Hehehehehehe
LL Again you have come up with some wonderful inspiration pictures.
Once when visiting with a lady on decorating and I do not remember if it was GW or where. I asked her what French Country was. I was very new to putting names to styles.Still am.
Her comment to me was."It is what makes my husband choke and puke." I laughed so hard. She then went on to explain the French Country look. And I am not making fun of your French Country I love it. Just this comment from her falls into this discussion.
I feel our house is pretty girlie. Not much pink but lots of lace. Guess my poor dear husband nicely deals with it as long as he has his recliner in viewing distance to the TV, meaning out in the shop will not work, and a good hot meal.
Great discussion.
Chris- LOL!!! The recliner comment is so true...and I love your description of French Country!
I was grocery shopping with my mom today (we carpool into town a lot) and stopped to have tea and look through a few magazines. Anyway, I was showing her the 'fairy tale' type of pictures...and we decided there's definitely a 'castle fairy tale' and 'cottage fairy tale'. The first kitchen picture would be 'cottage' and the blue island would be 'castle'!
Anyway, I like cottage the best. It's a pretty style, soft and a little feminine, but functional and not too fancy :)
Haha, men and their recliners :) The hubby's is still in Alabama for which I am grateful! I LOVE the cottage style, it's predominate in our house, a vintage-farmhouse-cottage style.
Moccasin, I think cottage style in general leans toward being feminine, just by virtue of antiques and their lyrical lines. But things like beadboard and paneling I think go either way. Our house was getting a little too feminine for our (collective) taste so I have been working in some slightly more "rustic" elements like rough-weave curtains, lanterns, trunks, and accessories like vintage maps etc. I don't think you need overtly masculine touches (like a gun over the fireplace :) necessarily, but things like a strong stripe to balance out smaller prints, or adding some black bits to a room that's very light. I love the bathroom you've described :) Maybe one day it will happen!
I agree with Jay about industrial touches, works in almost any space.
Lavender, I think the vanity/dresser you have posted is STUNNING

Enigma- Isn't that pretty? I found it on one of the forums, but I hope I can find something similar, when I'm ready to start remodeling the bathroom.
I agree about the rustic...I like a french country that has some black wrought iron, some plaids and nice, comfy furniture. I don't dislike recliners, but we're planning a sectional for the living room. My husand would rather stretch out on a long sofa, than a recliner (though he does have a few in his current office/man cave).
Vintage maps! I love those...great idea. I like the old globes, too, and lots of leather bound books. Perfect for a library/study....or just a corner of the living/family room. They'll look great with our brick fireplace! This isn't ours, but it's very similar and I want to put a bookcase on one side and a window seat on the other. We don't have the beams, but I'd love to include some in the kitchen...to kind of tone down the white and tie in the wood (vinyl) floors. So cottage! :)
I like that white buffet, but I don't think I could bring myself to paint a nice antique or vintage piece. That definition of French Country is so true. Almost made me spit out my tea.
I've probably told this before, but dh hates pink, flowers, and ruffles. When we were younger and had a fight, I'd stomp out of the house and go straight to the store and buy sheets that were pink floral with ruffles.
You can have the best of both worlds, feminine and masculine as well. Traditional stuff fits nicely with cottage. Like the wingback chair in the latest keeping room above. I would do it in a nice leather instead of velvet though. And that massive mantle and the grapevine wreath above the mantle, and a few duck decoys too. As long as the decorative items COULD be part of a funnctional house, I think they can be masculine. And a chair with a good sized ottoman would be fine instead of a recliner. I said years ago I would never never allow a recliner in my house, and so far I'm not required to change my point of view. For one thing, in a small place, those recliners are space hogs. I also think that the tole metal lampshades can be masculine, and durable too. Note in the photo above the Chinese ginger jar based lamp is massive in size, and I think that makes it a little less svelte and feminine too. And having no window treatments at all? Well, I think of that as very basic and thus masculine. I personally would enjoy any type of adjustable shutters on a window, either natural wood or painted satin white. I'm a big fan of shutters.
I know men in general do not like pink, but you have to be careful with some color paint, like beige, because it can quickly pick up pinkish tones. The same with gray, which can lean toward lavender quickly.
When I was testing paint samples for the garden shed, I slopped paint in several places and then let DH make his choice. I was pleasantly surprised when he chose ORANGE CONFECTION, a Behr color. In full sunlight, it is white. In the shade, it can be a faint orange, which might look pink at times. And so that is the color on the master bath walls, but not the ceiling, which is semigloss pure white.
I'll try very hard to get an accurate shot of it once he lays the tiles and reinstalls the toilet and tub. His poor knees. But he loves the way the color of the bath is drying and changing over time. I think it takes a few days to reveal its true nature.
I guess I don't fit the mold. I hate recliners! They are comfortable, but I dislike the way they look. Pink and purple don't bother me one way or the other. I don't react much to color because I am color blind LOL! Actually, I see colors just fine, but I flunk the eye tests for color blindness. I'm terrible at picking out colors, but I know what I like when I see it. I rag painted our small den, and it is decidedly- pink!
Here's a pretty picture! I think the colors and patterns have enough balance, between masculine and feminine, that both would enjoy this room. The cardinal perched on the window frame, and the curves of the chairs backs and vase, give it a definite fairy tale style, IMHO :)
You know, I think we can generalize too much about what is masculine and feminine. And then paint ourselves into a very uncomfortable corner. I think that what a woman likes is by definition feminine, what a man likes is by definition masculine, because we are all an unequal mix of individual passions.
And, somewhere I read that "a man lives happily in his wife's house." Not to say it is not HIS HOUSE TOO, but that the home is traditionally the area most influenced by the female. How would a man feel if he had to worry about making his garage or tool room or woodworking shop suit his wife's tastes? I know in the old days when couples were partners, they each had their strong suits, and they were truly partners. I'm thinking about how my grandparents lived their lives on a farm. And that to me defines what is quintessentially the "American way." They worked together to wrest a living from the soil, and looked out for each other.
Yin yang; hot cold, male female, opposites complement and complete.
moccasin, I think your last post here is extremely beautiful, I really love everything you said.
"I know in the old days when couples were partners, they each had their strong suits, and they were truly partners. I'm thinking about how my grandparents lived their lives on a farm. And that to me defines what is quintessentially the "American way." They worked together to wrest a living from the soil, and looked out for each other."
I wish more couples (especially in my generation) could benefit from that syle of living, at least for a while in their lifetimes. If I had my choice though I would be hunting eggs in my own coop, milking my own goats and growing all our own food!
I find this whole masculine/feminine decor thing very odd, personally. It's also very recent. I was recently reading a couple of English novels that brought it home to me. One was published during the early 30s, and the protagonist has a young son whom she acknowledges will probably have to become a police officer, being stolid, ordinary, and very thorough. She thinks about replacing linens and thinks of "How Pat would love a pink towel." Nothing girly about it then, evidently.
In the other book, written during WWII, a soldier just can't wait to show his cottage to his girlfriend, including how the cushions and runners reverse from red to blue for the change in seasons and his velvet/chintz curtains likewise.
I think it's very sad that we've polarized everything by sex these days, really.
There are definitely some styles that are more masculine and some that are more feminine...but I don't think only men or women can enjoy each style.
For me, I like a lighter and brighter kitchen and bath, but a darker and more grounded living room and bedroom. Even then, I like to bring in more reds and golds in the fall and winter, and more pinks and lavenders in spring and summer. Neutrals are a nice way to allow changes with the season (and I often think of green as a neutral).
However, for all my love of fairy tale style, I do not care much for some shabby chic (no offense to those who do). It's too pale and light, with everything painted...and too much peeling paint, in some photos. I like brick, stone and some wood and don't want to paint everything cream and white...except maybe the kitchen cabinets and beadboard! :)
This one was posted in the Kitchens forum. It's for sale in NJ. Kinda reminds me of a woodsman's cottage, albeit a very well-appointed and expensive cottage. Maybe killing wolves who've run amuck, and rescuing lost children pays well in NJ:
moccasinlanding, they have some of your blue bottles. :)

Mama G, I noticed the blue bottles first thing. Also the plate rack cabinet which is different from most I've seen. I want one row for 11 inch plates vertical, one row for small plates, and then what is left over, maybe have that flat storage shelf at the bottom. I want to put my white stuff in those, and the colorful dishes in the glass door cabs in the dining room. Where there are open shelves, you need to use things frequently to keep dust to a minimum, or wash those items regularly anyway. Behind glass doors, displayed pretty dishes stay cleaner. I have my DH's family china he saved from his mama's house, something like American Limoge, creamy white with a gold band. I have a set of Sakura jungle animals and parrots that I'd like to keep visible but safe too. The cups and dessert plates have a gorgeous design.
Has anyone heard from Springfield recently?

1992 Buick Skylark • 4 cylinder 2WD Automatic • 38,000 miles
1992 Buick Skylark mileage: 38,000. When I drive my car on the freeway for awhile the check engine light comes on, when I get off an exit ramp it stalls, and I have trouble getting it to keep running without stalling again. I have to keep my feet on the gas and brake and floor it to keep it running. What do you think the problem is?

October 19, 2010.
The check engine light will light when there is a malfunction in the engine management system. The fault code is then stored in the computer. The computer must be scanned to retrieve these stored faults to pinpoint the malfunctioning component. Because the check engine light indicates something is wrong, a trip to you neighborhood automobile service center sooner rather than later is recommended.

Would I be wasting my time on sunflowers?
I planted procuts and strawberry blondes in May and they are doing well, but the blooming is about done. I just plowed up a new bed, and was planning on planting those same sunflowers again this week (last week of July). With our first frost being around October 5, I would have all of August and September left for growing. With a bloom time of 50-60 days, do you think this is a bad idea?
How will the progressively shorter days affect the blooming? I believe the procuts are day-neutral. Not quite sure what that means.
Thanks for any answers!
I have asked myself the same questions. I have put off sowing sunflowers in expectation of rain - sometime LONG before now. It did not/has not come. So with the window of opportunity shrinking, I went ahead TODAY and sowed my sunflowers - a 100 degree day - one of the hottest on record for us. I sowed them into sun parched soil and watered them in very well after planting.
What else can be done? Either there is time or there is not; our frost date is same as yours.
Surely we cannot be locked in the heat and dryness forever! I like my sunflowers to come in at about the same time as fall grasses and pumpkins.
I say go ahead and plant and see what comes of it. We are in the same boat! Let's hope for the best possible outcome
to an incredibly difficult growing season. Good Luck!
Thanks Crowspice!
I'll go ahead and try it. I was also picturing sunflowers to go along with browns and oranges of fall.
Today in central Ohio we're supposed to have 98, with a heat index of 110, so we're experiencing the same conditions. At least we've had a little rain over the past week!
I hope you get the rain you need, and that your sunflowers turn out beautiful.
I planted another batch about a week ago...covered them with row cover to keep the birds away and water them lightly each day to keep the germinating seeds moist. If the seeds are wet, then dry out, it will kill the seeds...once germinated, however, they do fine. Good luck...Ann
So THAT's why I've had trouble germinating my freshly planted under row cover suns! DANG! (hand to forehead slap!) LOL!
I've been TRYING to keep them wet--guess not often enough!
Another 98-100 day for us, too. We have a MAYBE chance of 30% rain on W, and 20% on Thursday, but that's for the WHOLE of N TX, not necessarily on MY field & house!
Out to sow again!
Maybe get them going, and then Miracle Grow with almost every watering???...I got some of mine in late too, and thats what I am gonna do...I figure its an experiment this year to see if they have enough time to bloom for me....I was full of good intentions when I bought ALL my many seed packets, and this year got almost ALL of them planted!..albeit a few of them a bit late...but a bit of the unknown can be fun...lets revisit this thread and compare successes and failures with our late sowing adventures....Take care and enjoy your summer come what may...GardenLove
We have germination! On the first late-sown, double-row
of sunflowers. That in just 5 days! Let the countdown (to flowering) begin! We will need to provide the water as we are still without rainfall. Illinois has been declared a disaster area in terms of field crops. Don't know what that means for me!
Finally - Johnny sent my seeds! Got them yesterday (July 30) and got them in the ground yesterday. We're still in a drought also, so I'll be dragging hoses around for the next week or so. Seeded about 500 procuts and 200 strawberry blonde. Here we go....
Hope everyone else's suns are off to a good start!
So, how are we all doing with our late-sown, 50-day sunflowers? Gardenlover? Anniew? SusieQ, anybody else who got in on the big sunflower experiment?
Our late- July sown sunflowers are just starting to bloom.
Plants are about 3' high - probably would have reached 4' with more rainfall and/or watering. Even so, they seem to be
growing by leaps and bounds daily! We will begin cutting them this wk - I actually wish I could slow them down a tad as the next market is not til Wed and they are popping big time - esp in the 90 degree heat we are STILL having - even this far into Sept! But they are just in time for pairing with the pretty Fall grasses! Yea! Can we possibly be just two weeks from frost? What a totally unpredictable season we are STILL having! So how goes it with the rest of you?
well, really different climate here in the PAcific northwest where we have had it cooler then normal this summer. mY sunflowers, planted the end of MAy are just blooming now.My dahlias are just piddling along, throwing out maybe 3-5 a week of some varieties and fewer of others. I love the cool crisp weather but Getting enough red, yellow orange and blue togtehr for a wedding this weekend and a funeral (My best friend from college days. so want to take a big beautiful arangement fromt he heart)..well, all that has us stretched to the limits. I did manage to come up with 8 bouquets for the stand today, mostly lavender or coral! (Not my best sellng colors.)
You'all are way ahead of me with the suns. I planted another bed of Pro Cuts on Sept. 1 and they are around 10" tall right now so it will be interesting to see what kind of crop I get. Not nearly so much sunlight now and getting less every day. Got almost 3" of rain night before last and that didn't hurt my feelings a bit.
The Pro Cuts I grew earlier this Summer were a big success and my florists purchased every stem I hauled to town at 90 cents per stem. Am I selling too cheap???
The Strawberry Blondes I grew were quite popular with my customers but the danged grasshoppers (I think it was grasshoppers) damaged a bunch of the new blooms and something (deer?) croppped many of the stems completely off several inches below the flower.
Probably could have averted the bloom damage by cutting just before they open but don't know what to do about the whole top of the plant missing. This bed is about 6 feet from my back door. Anyone else have this kind of problem?
I am finding that I like single stems better than branched.
Bob, I could grow nothing here without deer fencing. I start out with the nylon mesh to get quick protection then replace it with cattle wire when I can. ON each metal post we wire a 10 foot peice of rebar and run a couple of rows of wire above the 6' cattle fencing. THat has worked for us so far....
My sunflower experiment is turning out exactly the same as Crowspice: Planted July 30, plants are 3 ft. tall, still 90 degree temps here in Ohio, and cutting the first of the bloomers in the morning (Sept. 19). I cannot believe how well they have done. This has been a cool experiment!
My experiment is a failure. Can't remember what happened to the late July/early August seeds, but they didn't make. Then we had lots of kid activities getting them hither and yon for college etc for most of August, so I tried sowing suns & zinnias in late Aug, early Sept. They were okay, but I started & left them too long in a friend's "sunroom" that didn't, in fact, get enough sun. Still they were alive, tho stretched, so I planted them, and they were doing okay. But the zinnias never did look strong, and one by one they died--either from their own lack of strength or me forgetting to water one day. The few suns I started were actually looking good, 4-5" tall, and then the grasshoppers came.
(Pause for DEEP sigh, many tears, and insert a picture of Oklahoma from The Grapes of Wrath)
I discovered their damage/demise Tuesday evening, and I've been in a sad slump ever since. It's my own fault. Like everyone's been saying about the hurricane(s), we KNEW bad things were going to come, but.....
I HAVE tried spraying seedlings in the past w/ nice strong chemicals to kill grasshoppers, but the stupid bugs eat the poisoned leafs anyway! Then, maybe the vile things go off to die, but only after they've ruined my tiny crops. I also should have kept row cover on them for a longer time, but I got impatient, and wanted them to have plenty of sun, and the grasshoppers weren't THAT bad,.....yet.
I even started another tray of mixed suns & zinnias about two weeks ago, most have germinated, some are looking good, but several have also been snacks for the grasshoppers. The ones still there need to have better sun than where I have them in my house garden because they too are starting to stretch, and they need to be planted, but w/ the hurricane coming this weekend, and possibly several days of heavy rain, now is probably NOT the time to plant the last of my efforts.
I had SO hoped to have SOME suns and/or zinnias for the fall--these last, if they live, will be (should be) blooming late Oct, early Nov, perfect timing for great late fall bouquets. Just no wonderful orange or purple or lime green zinnias for Halloween. :( Now I may have to either cancel Oct. bouquets w/ my customer, or order flowers from a wholesaler, or buy plants at Lowe's again, or just sit down and cry!
On the other hand, the rain this weekend should do wonders for my roses, and the few plants of salvia leucantha I have, so maybe I'll have at least some October flowers after all!
Welllll, enough sad news. As an aside, I do have one interesting success. I delivered the regular bouquet on Monday (made up of things from my M-I-L's garden), and there on the lady's desk was the bouquet from 2 weeks ago! I'd used ( all store-bought plants) of a feather type reddish celosia, some orange marigolds, and even some Kermit Green mini mums that were in a discounted, few days old bouquet at Walmart that I'd bought in order to have flowers for the bouquet I deliver. And all 3, the celosia, Kermit mums, and marigolds were still as fresh as when I cut them!
I used floralife conditioner in the water--or maybe just a Chrysal packet, left a packet w/ the lady, and she did or didn't use it but she did replace the water every few days.
So that was way cool!
High Fives to all of you who WERE successful w/ your late sowings. Now you know and you can repeat that success next year!
I'm just getting into some limited sunflower production. Questions:
1. How variable are the "50-day" ProCuts in production time? I'm considering them for production for a once a month farmer's market, so timing is critical unless I have a secondary outlet if the timing is off.
2. Is the $.90/stem price typical of what you can get from florists?
I find that if I start the pro-cuts and sunbright supreme in plug trays (72 cell) and plant within the third week approx 4" apart you can get earlier suns. The sunbright's especially, bolt and I end up with this gorgeous mini that my florists love. I charge florists and market customers quite a bit more than .90c a stem.....
Apart from that Pro-cuts are pretty true to their time period if direct seeded, down here in Tx.
Good luck
Kim - Billabong Fresh Flower Farm
My records from last year show a 7 day variation.
Procuts planted on May 17 were harvested 59 days later. This was a period of mostly below normal temps, and lots of rain.
Procuts planted on July 30 were harvested 52 days later. This was just the opposite as far as weather - extremely hot and drought conditions.
Just my 2 cents, I don't know if it helps you out any.

The Space
This villa is among rice terraces with its location only 10 minutes drive from Echo Beach CANGGU
In a quiet area, but only 20 minutes drive from SEMINYAK, where some of best restaurants, clubs & shops on the island can be found (also 30/45 minutes drive from KUTA & 1 hour from airport)
There is also closely the famous SURF SPOT at Echo Beach Canggu, and the most sacred TEMPLE OF TANAH LOT , also situated next to Nirwana Bali GOLF COURSE ( golf sets in house)
The villa is a private & peaceful 3 bedroom retreat (each with bathroom and air conditioning) with large swimming pool (40 sqm with space for children), stunning tropical gardens near traditional Balinese village
It's an oasis set on 1800 sqm of land with :
- one house on 2 levels (first floor is a "joglo"/ wooden teak house)

It can accommodate 3 couples or a family of 4 to 8 members in style and comfort :large sofas, 3 bars, internet ( provider changed via Telekom and flat screen satellite TV)

We can also supply car or scooter to rent at low price....
So it will be a pleasure for us to welcome you in this villa and to advice you to spend some nice holidays .... See you soon
The house was really nice and Komang and his wife who live on the property were really nice people who look after you very well. Komand and his wife hardly speak English. With a translate app we could get by. There son is really sweet and played with our kids. We had a great time at the house. I would suggest that some things are getting a bit old and need replacement especially around the pool area. It is very wet in Bali and a lot of cushions and bean bags were full of mould and some chairs around the pool were broken. This house was great for us but you have to be ok with not having a lot of privacy. Komang and his wife and their son walk in and out of the house all day cleaning up and doing gardening etc. This house is ideal if you want to relax and not go anywhere. This was our first time in Bali so we did not realise that 10 km on the map could take over 1 hour in the heavy traffic. Trips to Seminyak or Kuta took more then and hour and to Ubud as well. If we wanted to go to Canggu for a coffee or dinner we had to go by car as well for at least 15-20 minutes. Nothing is walking distance. Komang and his wife cooked for us a couple of times and that was really nice good food for a nice price. We also loved the view over the rice fields and having space. Overall we had a great time and the WIFI worked great which was good.
First of all i would like to thank Jack, Indra, Komang and his family for the finest vacation. This villa surprised to be even more awesome than it appears on photos.
When we arrived Jack took us to a short tour around villa and it was nicely big for six people. Jack provided all the information necessary including taxi number, food delivery, wifi pass, etc. There are also cell and local phones available on villa.
All the time we spent on villa was supported by Komang and his family. They helped us to get bikes, order taxi, always looked the villa to be clean and fresh and even served us a dinner with grilled fish and chicken. I will not lie if i say that Jimbaran sea food is suck comparing to that fish :)
Wonderful views, a plenty of green, fresh air, sun and only 7 mins on bike to Batu Bolong - it was like in heaven.
P.S. Even minigolf included! :)
P.p.s. there are two sweet dogs in the villa, you will be surprized to know its nicknames
I would definately recommend this place to stay
Nous avons passé 5 jours dans cette magnifique villa au milieux des rizières. Nous avons été très bien accueilli par Jacques qui est un hôte très attentionné et arrangeant. Nous avons tous passé un agréable séjour ( grande piscine ,chambres très confortables au calme et plage en quelques minutes à scooter...) . Komang et sa femme étaient très sympathiques et nous ont beaucoup aidé . Bref je ne peux que recommander cette villa !!
Magnifique villa au milieu des rizières avec tout le confort nécessaire .
La villa n'est pas très loin des points d'intérêts tout en étant au calme . Nous avons passé 10 merveilleux jours à contempler la vue et les paysans travailler le riz . Il y a tout pour se détendre, beaucoup de coins relax, la piscine et même un terrain de pétanque .
Site gardé par Komang, toujours prêt à rendre service et très gentil .
Cette villa a contribué à rendre notre séjour génial . Merci encore à Jacques, Indra, Komang et sa famille .
wonderful reception from jacques et indra and so much help from komang and his wife (don't hesitate to ask them to make a meal, you will be delighted as we were) a great place to stay in bali if you want peace in and around the villa, central enough to tour the south and central bali, we thoughrouly recommend their place and would return without any doubts
The Good: The house and grounds are absolutely amazing. They are just as pictured. Two of us stayed at the house and we had tons of fun trying out the different places to sleep, relax, and have fun. There are three regular inside beds and two outside "day beds" scattered about the grounds plus other places to relax and socialize. It was fun staying in the little bedroom at the far end of the grounds, the upstairs gazebo, the old carved bed, and in the master bedroom. The grounds and pool are super well kept. The beds are comfortable. The bathrooms are good. It is picturesque, beautiful, quiet, interesting, and relaxing. The pool is very nice. The staff was great—very friendly and helpful. My companion and I had a wonderful time staying at the house. The house currently has a "4" rating for cleanliness. I also rated it as a 4. However, I think the house is as clean as it can be. It is an older Balinese house. Probably the best word for it is "rustic." If you want a 5 star new hotel room, don't stay here. If you want a beautiful, interesting, and very well maintained place, then this place is great. The Bad: Before going I expressed the importance of internet and my concern because a previous guest said it didn't work. I was assured it was working. When I arrived it was not working and it did not work at all during our stay. This cause problems because we planned everything online and we had wanted to adjust and plan as we went along. The cell phone data service was also bad so we had to go several kilometers into town to communicate by email or internet. This also caused problems because we needed to do some work and communicate to home while we were there. We are heavy internet users and this caused many planning problems. I had stressed that privacy was very important to us. I emphasized this several times. However, there were a couple of times when we were at the house that unexpected people just showed up on the grounds. One time a pool maintenance guy came to maintain the pool without warning. I understand that the pool needs to be maintained and if we were told he was going to be there it would not been a problem. However, my companion and I were sunbathing not more than 5 minutes before he showed up and if we had still been there, it would have been a very uncomfortable situation for us. I want to emphasize that we loved staying at this place. In fact, if the internet and privacy situations weren't a problem, this may be in my top 5 places I have ever stayed in (and I have stayed in well over a 100 places). I highly recommend this place and would be super happy to go back, but I needed to point out the problems especially because these...
Nous avons louè pour une semaine cette très jolie maison au milieu des riziéres à l'écart de la grande route donc pas de bruit nous étions en famille avec nos 3 ados. La piscine et le parc sont très bien entretenus, l'accueil du propriètaire est très sympathique, il est venu nous chercher à l'aéroport et nous a donnè des idées de balades. La maison est à dix minutes de la plage . Le couple de gardien et leur petit garçon sont au petit (website hidden) est possible de louer un taxi à la journèe pour 30 euros et votre chauffeur vous dèpose ou vous voulez sinon il y a des taxis pour des courses plus courtes.c 'est vraiment un endroit à conseiller un peu à l'écart des grosses frèquentations touristiques de Kuta ou Séminiak.Dèpaysement assurè et beaucoup de charme pour ce jolie endroit.
Je vais a Bali depuis 1983, marie avec Linda (indonesienne) en 1988 et j' ai bouge de Legian a Canggu en 2006
I used to go to Bali since 1983, married with Linda from Indonesia in 1988 and I moved from Legian to Canggu in 2006

Record Breaking Quarter: Digital Ad Revenues Cross $10 Billion Mark For The First Time
With the third consecutive year of double-digit annual growth, digital advertising revenues hit new records in 2012, according to the IAB's annual Internet Advertising Revenue Report conducted by PwC. Released today, the report shows a 15% rise to $36.6 billion in U.S. digital advertising revenues in 2012, with Q4 revenues topping $10 billion for the first time.
Coming in at $10.31 billion, Q4 ad revenues increased 14.9% from the prior year and were up 11.6% from Q3, outperforming the overall media market. Nielsen Company and Kantar both estimated that total media revenues grew just 3% in 2012. Mobile saw triple-digit growth again this year, and digital video remained the fastest growing sector of the display market.
On the IAB briefing call today, PwC's David Silverman pointed to three main trends driving this growth. First, the increasing use of multiple screens is leading to new available ad inventory. Second, new ad formats are available for mobile devices featuring improved screen resolutions. And third, the industry is meeting the growth in mobile with better ways to sell advertising on those devices.
Mobile may have broken out this year, but search remained strong, accounting for 46.3% of the online ad market in 2012 (down negligibly from 46.5% in 2011). Search revenue grew 14.5%, totaling $16.9 billion compared to $14.8 billion in 2011. These numbers do not include mobile search, which is now captured in the Mobile format. Mobile claimed the biggest increase in market share, growing 111% in 2012 to $3.4 billion in revenues.
Performance-based pricing (fueled by search) continued to gain preference. 66% of total ad revenues came from performance-based ads, up from 65% in 2011. CPM pricing saw an uptick as well, rising to 32%. Both formats took their growth from Hybrid which fell from 4% to 2% of total revenues.
When compared to other ad-supported media in the U.S., internet continues to gain significance. At $36.6 billion, internet advertising revenues stayed ahead of cable TV ($32.5 billion), which it surpassed in 2011, and came closer to closing the gap with the leading ad revenue source, broadcast TV ($39.6 billion). [Update: This sentence was edited to reflect the correct cable TV revenues of $32.5, not $36.6 as previously reported.]
The growth of internet advertising revenue has outpaced other media every year since 2005. The recession year of 2009 is the only year internet advertising has not experienced double-digit growth. In comparison, no other media has seen double digit growth since 2005.
Looking ahead, social will play a larger role in the digital landscape, predicts Linda Gridley of Gridley & Company which released its findings with IAB today. Gridley sees that "social is entering the enterprise" and says that mobile and social are the underpinnings in the future growth of digital advertising. Faster networks and more TV programming coming online are fueling digital video, and advertisers are just now catching up with consumer behavior trends in watching digital video on mobile devices.
Gridley & Company points to research showing that in Q1 of this year, as live primetime viewing among 18-49 years old has fallen, advertisers are finally shifting budgets from TV to online.
In 2013 we're likely to see continued growth in mobile and digital video as advertisers evaluate their budget alignments in light of multi-screen usage trends and TV content becoming more prevalent online through TV Everywhere and traditional streaming channels. And in Search, it is yet to be seen how that segment will be affected by the impending roll-out of AdWords enhanced campaigns and Bing Product Ads this summer.

Reports: Two Arrests In Chicago Shooting That Wounded 13
Originally published on Mon September 23, 2013 2:07 pm
"Two men are in custody in connection with last week's shooting in a South Side park that left 13 people injured," the Chicago Tribune reports.
The Tribune adds that:
"The men, both 22, were arrested around 7:30 p.m. Sunday in an abandoned building in the 5200 block of South Marshfield Avenue, police said. No charges have been filed.
"One of the men has been identified as the shooter in Thursday's attack in Cornell Square Park and the other as 'one of the individuals who participated in the shooting,' according to a police report."
Authorities have been saying it's likely the shooting was gang-related.
Chicago's WGN-TV adds that the youngest victim, 3-year-old Deonta Howard, is "recovering after surgery, and a family spokesman says he suffered no brain damage" from a wound to his head.

Are you ordering stickers with the intention of selling them to your customers? To include in order shipments? Or maybe just for your own personal use? Whatever your reason may be for ordering custom printed stickers, you will have two different options for how your stickers are finished – square cut or flex cut.
Most people get it: You need a caravan to fit your kids, or it's your first car and you could only afford your uncle's beat-up old vehicle. But deep down, you wish you really drove something else — and maybe that "something else" isn't even an automobile at all. Whether you dream of owning a better car one day or your occupation or hobby means you spend a lot of time on another vehicle — a plane, a tractor, or a motorcycle, for example — make people laugh by getting the "my other car is a…" joke on your vehicle in a few clever, affordable ways.
In "polite society," politics is one of the most taboo topics of conversation. However, simply brushing the issue under the rug does nothing to enact change in our country or win people over to the causes you believe in most. If politics are your passion and you can stand the heat of the debate, you can have a lot of fun showing off your political pride via humor. Remember that people who disagree with you aren't your enemies — just people with different ideas who still love their nation.
Email has been a major boon to business. Companies can use email to market, to sell, to communicate, and more. Especially when a company is selling products and services to other companies, and thus lacks a brick-and-mortar store that sells wares, it wouldn't be surprising if every employee in a company went a whole day, or even a whole week, without communicating with clients on the phone or in person. While email has certainly made business easier, it is a dangerous tool when it is overused.
Sometimes kids need encouragement to participate in sports, and sometimes sports are the only thing a kid ever wants to do. No matter which category your kid falls into, they're part of a team, and you need to support them every way you can. The trouble is that sports can be expensive. Uniforms, practice gear, and field rentals don't come cheap, but if you want to keep your child's sports team up and running (literally) you need to raise some funds. Here are the simplest ways to bring in some cash for your tyke's team. more….
