What order to plant a natural fence over a few years.
I am researching a natural fence for a large property in Zone 5b (-25oC - canada). The fence will be next to a busy road and approx 400 ft long. The house is approx 300 ft from where the fence will be. So excessive height is not an issue. The area has full sun, and very little shade. We have a healthy deer population.
The main reason for the fence is privacy, but wind breaker would also be useful.
I am considering a combination of trees and possibly some shrubs. I have listed some below that I have looked at and would welcome any comments and warnings.
Thuja Smaragd (Emerald Green Cedar) - for its salt resistance - there is a lot of spray from the road damaged neighbors trees
Juniperus scopulorum (Rocky Mountain Juniper )
Thuja Plicata (Western Red Cedar)
Pseudotsuga Menziesii (Douglas Fir)
Tsuga (Eastern Hemlock)
Thuja Green Giant
Leyland Cyprus
Prunus (English Laurel)
Due to the cost of this fence, I am going to have to plant over two or three years. I would appreciate any advice in which order I should plant the trees / shrubs.
Many thanks in advance
Get your large-growing trees in first. That's called "the backbone." Later you will plant shrubs.
If you have dry air and a non-humid environment then you'll grow Doug fir & J.scopulorum very well. If not dry air, you need to nix these. Additionally, Leyland cypress should be nixed al-together as it isn't hardy for zone 5a.
Figure your spacing for the larger trees... a written plan is always a good idea. You'll need to learn what size any given plant will be at 10-years and at 20-years and so on. Trees only become taller and wider as time passes. From there you'll need to find your own compromise with time in mind for the distance you'll space each cultivar/species.
i moved from suburbia.. to 5 acres ... 500 feet on a side ... 4 sides.. if that need be said.. lol ...
in suburbia... you need to mess at the lot line.. because you dont have anywhere else to do this...
it took me a few years out here in Gods country to understand that isnt so on a large space ...
let me be very clear ... THERE IS NO REASON FOR YOU TO BE WORKING AT THE LOT LINE ... 300 feet from the house ...
you can probably do the whole job.. with 4 or 5 well spaced and sized trees/conifers... about 50 feet from the house ... working off 'views' from decks.. windows.. etc ...
those are the first plants to put in ...
then you go mess around 300 feet from the house ...
i dont know about canada ... but what you are building.. is a soil conservation tree line.. which in your world.. is a sight block line... my county soil conservation office ... offers small.. CHEAP trees.. conifers.. and shrubs ... at proper planting times... for next to nothing ... say 25 plants in the one to two foot range for $15 .... this is how you plant 400 feet ... you dont go buying potted stock.. unless you win the lotto ... of which.. you already said.. your budget is limited ... but you might invest in the larger stock.. for the first mentioned plants ...
you should have a lot of local or provincial resources.. find them .. unfortunately .... i dont know the key words to help you ... call an agricultural office ...
sooo.. in other words.. you are sitting in a box.. at the lot line.. lets get out of the box.. and widen our options ...
i am a 'see it with my eyes' sort of guy.. your words fail to trigger any ideas in my head ... how about some pix????
spend some time at the link ... to learn about buying forestry sized.. and priced stock ... you of course.. would have to find a canadian equivalent .... i have no clue what you think your budget is.. but if you are working on 400 feet.. let me suggest.. this is the type of resource you need.. rather than bigboxstore etc ... perhaps it is within your budget ... to do it all now ????
Here is a link that might be useful: link
Depending on your location you may be forgetting a couple no-brainers. Norway Spruce, White Pine, Concolor Fir, Colorado Spruce.
I agree with Ken. If you are 300 ft from your house and you are working on privacy that is a lot of territory and height to cover. Why not put those plants to work where you can more easily enjoy them?
Thanks for all the great input and advice.
So, I currently have a number of trees by the house which provide some cover. What I a looking to do is build a visual and wind barrier at the road side, far enough away to maintain the frount yard for the kids football/hockey pitch whilst maintain line some view of them. (not possible behind the house due to barns/outbuildings.)
I a planning to make the barrier 3-4 trees deep + shrubs. Obviously I would like some barrier now, but I a also planning for the next 10-20 years. So I want to do it right first time.
We live by Lake Ontario, with humid summers, and I should have mentioned the heavy heavy clay soil here.
I am trying to plant native species, and in my ignorance, thought Norway Spruce was an import. So yes I can definitely consider this.
I am open to spending a $500 (probably ore the first year) a year on this for the next 4-5 years. The local conservation insist on 500 trees and its for reforestation, also they are only 10 cm in height. To start I was hoping to find 24 inch (60cm) trees.
I think I am to late this year (sigh),we went from winter to summer in 3-4 weeks this year, but at least I now have 10 months to plan and order. There is a place 2 hr from here which I have found, but there last day is today, they only open 3 weeks a year for sales.

Ah! You don't know how unPC your question is in this city any more. Our schools and our community no longer celebrate achievement. So, we no longer publish where kids go to college. It would make the 10% or less who do not go to college too awful...
This is the new reality of this school district thanks to a few vocal families (a tiny minority of people who hold the power around here).

This is not entirely true. Paly Campanile published the data, I only saw it in hard copy, is there a link to soft copy anywhere?

Magic Carousel Adventure!Standard
Good Day Folks,
Magic Carousel has been my focus of late. I have been working on my 6th children's book this past week. James and Syvok will be on vacation in my home state Minnesota and have a mission they must take care which involves a carousel. I was doing research on the carousel at Como Zoo in St. Paul where I grew up. I was rewarded with two surprises during my research. The first one is to my delight is that the Como Zoo is still free. I went there often as kid and I took my kids there when I visited. It also one of the last places we visited as a family before my parents passed away.
The second surprise was the beautiful carousel that is there now was the carousel at the Minnesota State Fair grounds and it was saved from leaving the city of St. Paul by community members and placed at Como Zoo. The carousel was ordered in 1914. My grandmother probably rode the carousel. I rode it every time I went to the state fair and all of my kids have been on this carousel. Check it out it has dragons it really is a beautiful magical place.
When I would ride I would dream about wild adventures truly loved the carousel they are so magical. Did you ride on a carousel? Do you remember where you imagination would go while riding?

Lost Adventure March 3, 2014Standard
Good Day Folks,
A year ago today I lost all memories of this day and my head went platinum. I remember most of March 2nd but not March 3rd. I went to the ER in my small city thinking I needed some fluids for the flu after being ill for 9 days. This was right after turning 50 and the next day was in bed with flu symptoms. I did go to the ER in the middle of the 9 days but their was a bunch of chaos so I told my husband to take me home. Anyway the second time going to the ER on March 2nd, I walked in with my husband at my side weak and my left brown eye had moved towards my nose. I had double vision and thought I will get some fluids and feel much better. I guess I was complaining of a head ache but do not remember that. The ER doctor immediately put me in a bed and called to have me transferred to a hospital in Grand Rapids. I did have a scan which showed I had two bleeding aneurisms. The ambulance arrived and I enjoyed chatting with the nice young woman EMT person sitting next to me. Upon arriving at the hospital they set me up in intensive care and then rolled me down to have another scan. Jim my husband arrived by the time I was returned to my room in intensive care and a neurosurgeon arrived to inform us about my condition. Pretty much the last thing I remember. The next day March 3rd I had brain surgery. I do not remember any of this day. They placed two platinum coils in my arteries to stop the bleeding. It worked and and they did not have cut open my head. They went all the way to my brain from the inside of my thigh. The little tiny wound never bothered me at all. I remember my second visitor Chris Fox. Sorry Amy Bowling I don't remember your visit. March 4th,I remember arguing with a nurse about getting up to go to the bathroom. She wanted me to use a bed pan. Nope not doing that as long as I could get up. She told me I was an unusaul patient in ICU with my condition most are unconscious. When I told my friends this they all laughed and said nothing stops me from talking and being bossy. On the 5th day they moved me out of the ICU and discharged me from the hospital. I walked out on my own.
A year later enlightenment. Upon arriving home my kids all hugged me and were happy I was home. I found out my wonderful neighbors the DeBolds picked up my kids at school and made dinner for them, hung out with them at the house so my husband could come down and be with me. My mother in law did not have to to come out to help. Luckily my husband was on sabbatical so he could be with me 24/7 during my recovery. I was really lucky I also discovered all these people in my small city of Big Rapids who care about me. My friends Robin Stratton and Chris Fox set up an update page on Facebook. My friend Candice Simpson posted on my pages for me. My publisher delayed the release date for book 4 Amongst the Clouds, she told me to just let her know when I am able to read the edits from the editor. I am really a truly blessed person. My recovery has been remarkable. I rested for a couple weeks. Then began making dinner again, my kids were so happy because their dad just does not cook very well. In may I started walking around the block and increased the distance when I felt strong enough. When the snow came I started yoga+ low impact work out. My husband was concerned I may slip so did not want me walking by myself. It got to cold anyway. I traveled to Orlando to pick up a best childrens award for Helga Returns by myself. I got to meet some people who I met on Facebook in person and they are more wonderful in person and now friends in the real world too. MCV Egan and Jodi Stone two talented authors and truly beautiful in person been traveling this writing adventure with me for years on facebook it was so wonderful to hug and laugh in person. It is quite interesting traveling with double vision. My spectacular in-laws arrived in June and helped me around the house. My vision was back to normal and they took the kids a week later on a wonderful trip to D.C and Niagara Falls. I started writing again while my kids were on vacation. This was one of the things I was truly worried about not be able to spin a story again. My dearest pals picked me up for ladies night out when I was ready to be in public it was fun seeing two of each at the dinner table and I managed not to spill anything in the restaruant.
One of my first outings in town was to stop in a pick up my favorite chocolates down town at the Old Pioneer store and the wonderful owner ran up to me gave me a hug. Carleen told me how happy she was to see me alive and doing so well. This past year I have traveled, inspired a classroom of children to write, talked about writing to Ms Cosper's university students, talked with families and children in Cadillac. Brought in 20 authors to our community library with the help of Diane Scarpelli and Library director. Worked with some incredible people in the community. Published two more children's books. My muse from my novel visited me every time I slept help to heal me and told me the story of the New Moon Brethren. Fun times and travels with my family. I recently joined local writers group to help with my writing and discovered some more incredible talented folks. And it helping me focus and be able to write for longer periods of time.
I have had a fun filled year of adventure and was enlightened of how blessed I am with family, and friends and what a wonderful community Big Rapids truly is. Enjoyed a fun filled family Christmas trip southwest. I still walk a little funny but it hardly noticable and at times stumble with words but it is truly wonderful watching my children grow and achieve, talk with my husband every day. I make sure I tell my family I love them every day. I want to thank everyone for all you do and how spectacular you are. Every day we wake up is truly another wonderful magical adventure so enjoy each day!

March Reading Month Adventure!Standard
March is reading month. Most schools have fun themes to get kids reading. Ask your kids what the reading theme is this year and their reading goals. Then set aside time every day, or a couple times during the week, for everyone to sit down and read. Even if it is only 15 minutes you will be amazed how many pages you can read in 15 minutes. Then discuss what is happening in your book, newspaper, magazine etc. at dinner, driving or after you are done reading each night. Reading is a exciting adventure for all. Just a reminder I have five magical adventure books available on Amazon and Barnes and Nobles for children ages 7-12. They are illustrated chapter books and read much like a graphic novel for children. Tell us what your or your children's reading adventure for March reading month.
Tonight, I should finish Susan Stec's book They're So Vein (The Grateful Undead Series)
My twin twelve year old girls are reading the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series.

Raven Adventures!Standard
Good Day Folks!
I love ravens. I was looking through my pictures from our December trip to Arizona to spend Christmas with Grandma and Grumpa. We went through many states and had a ball at our stops on the way. It actually took us five days to get to Arizona since we stopped in New Mexico to visit our fabulous relatives and had fun. Then we went to 4 corners stood in four states. Met Grandma and Grumpa at the Grand Canyon for two days then G&G took us on a scenic route to there winter home in Arizona. It was a super special holiday adventure.
Along the way every day I noticed a Raven would stop in and say hi to me. I only was able to capture two pictures. One is at a rest area in NM and the other in the tree was outside our room at the Grand Canyon. Both chatted me up. I knew the trip was going to be fabulous after seeing my first Raven at a rest area in Indiana. The raven in Indiana showed me the tree with the skull on the tree. Pretty cool. Ravens are on my mind today. I see them often during my walks at home talking to me. And I always smile and say hello thanks for stopping by. They are an important creature in my novel I am working on called the New Moon Brethren and book 6 of my children's series Magic Carousel.
My first encounter and where I started paying attention to Ravens occurred while we were living in Iceland. Our first flat in the morning and other times during the day. I would look out my kitchen window above the sink. There would be this raven sitting on the railing on the outside deck. We had this wonderful large deck off our flat it wrapped around, east,west and south of our flat along the living room/dining area and to the right outside my kitchen. This raven would greet me every morning and ca ca and I would smile, say good morning and listen. I think he was a male he was pretty big and and colors would reflect on his shiny black feathers. I told my friend Rannveig during coffee snack time one day that this raven visits me nearly every morning and sometimes other times during the day and chats out my kitchen window. Her eyes lit up and she told me I was lucky. He is sharing the latest gossip. Never heard anyone tell me Raven's were good luck before. After she left I did some research on them. I found out many cultures believe they do show up to let folks know what is going whether it is good or tragic news. They know things.
Well my son was finishing up 1st grade and was speaking Icelandic well enough and would not need special classes to assist with Icelandic anymore so he would have to go to the school near our flat or we would have to find a flat to rent near the school he was attending down by the harbor. In Akureryri , Iceland one school in the city teaches foreign children Icelandic. Once they become fluent enough then they go to their neighborhood school. James did not want to switch schools. So we started looking for a flat near the school. Akureyri does not list rentals like we do in the U.S and realtors don't have that information either. So, it was becoming a challenge. Our lease was expiring so we had to decide to sign for another year or move James to the school up the street. We really wanted to find a flat near the school he was at. He had made many friends and already adjusted to our move to Iceland and was speaking and reading in Icelandic.
So, one day I look out my window there is my raven friend. He is going on and on. I look at him and ask him how can I find a rental down by the harbor. He chats and flies away. I get dressed and get ready to go out to the store. I hear the raven. He is on the deck talking and excited. I get in the car and he takes off. I follow him. He is flying down towards the harbor. Leads me to a big yellow house, he lands on a red railed deck facing the school across the street that James attended and the fjord that leads to the harbor. He ca's and flies off towards the fjord. I told a friend about it . She informed me,the people who own the top flat are looking for someone to lease it they are moving to Sweden for a job. She contacted the family and the next day we went to look at it. It was a bigger and a beautiful flat. You come in at the bottom with large place to hang many coats, shelf for hats, gloves, and shoe racks. Then walk a few feet to the stairs. The entire upstairs was a huge flat. Perfect for us. James was so happy he just had to walk across the street to school. My twins, soon to be three year old loved the playground. My husband would just grab the bus up to the University for his job. I enrolled the girls at preschool down a couple blocks. I started writing my magical tales at this home. We were closer to everything, we walked everywhere. Had many gatherings at this home as well. We could see the fishing ships and cruise ships come down the harbor. We would walk down to take a look. The best part the raven often stopped to visit me on the red railing of the deck at this flat too. I thanked him and fell in love with these wonderful creatures.
Hope you enjoyed my raven adventure.

Good Bye 2014. Hello 2015 AdventureStandard
2014 was quite the year. I call it a building and renewal year adventure. Two of my books won awards.
James Saves the Moon won a Gold Medal Best Children's Fantasy/SciFI from Readers Favorite. Helga Returns won a Best Children's Book ages 9-12 from Turning the Pages Magazine. Traveled with double vision from Michigan to Orlando in April and received my award from Turning the Pages award ceremony. It was a lot of fun. Delighted to meet author Mcv Egan in person. We have been friends for years on facebook. My pal Stacey Rourke was there and many other authors.
While beginning the editing process of my 4th book Amongst the Clouds in February/March and Turning 50 I ended up in the hospital with two bleeding aneurisms. I lost six days, spent 4 nights and had surgery to stop the bleeding. I now have two platinum coils in my head. So I guess my head has gone platinum. LOL I was lucky walked out of the hospital. My recovery has been remarkable.
Amongst the Clouds released from Anchor Group Publishing in July. Fabulous fun adventure. Wonderful illustrations by Kelly Murray.
Reviewed by Dinorah Blackman for Readers' Favorite Star Review January 15, 2015
Growing up, we all had imaginary friends, but James's pals are so awesome that one can easily believe they are real. It all begins with a beautiful and unusual cloud that seemed to be stuck in place. As James daydreams about its mysterious beauty, he is launched on an unexpected adventure in the company of his imaginary friends. As they try to discover the meaning of the cloud, they end up becoming key players in a battle in which rivals fight to take control. From flying on a blue dragon's back to their eager search for a lost key that opens a spell book, James and his friends have a day packed with suspense and drama. However, they still manage to get him home by dinnertime so he can tell his family all about it. Amongst the Clouds by Wendy Nystrom is an awesome book that young and old will enjoy.
In Amongst the Clouds, author Wendy Nystrom does a brilliant job of describing how high a child's imagination can actually fly. The main protagonist dozes off and ends up in the middle of a lucid dream that teaches him a number of valuable lessons about the importance of loyalty. The story is well written and contains a lot of characters with which kids can easily identify. At the same time, Wendy Nystrom shares a little bit of Icelandic culture with the reader, enabling him or her to easily grasp the context of the adventure. The language is vibrant and appropriate for children, and the book includes many illustrations that add to the mental image so aptly formed by her words.
I was also able to finish my 5th Book Sleigh Ride in time for Christmas release. Another fun adventure: James and his pals help a polar bear and delivers Santa another sleigh since his was broken accidentally by his reindeer.
Amongst the Clouds is available on Amazon or B&N Amongst the Clouds Amazon link, Amongst the Clouds B&N link Sleigh Ride Available on Amazon. Sleigh Ride Amazon Link
Blade Graphics designed this graphic in the fall. I just love this. I can have it placed on stuff, hats, mugs, cinch sacks, totes etc.
Authorpalooza event went well in November and will be organizing another one in June of 2015 at Big Rapids Community Library. Had a fabulous team to work with for this event. Spoke in a classroom where the kids were all excited about writing their own book. Spoke at a University Creative writing class. Then the year ended with having my first book James Saves the Moon is listed in a catalog at a new company Called Booksurf a home book shopping of signed books created by Stacey Rourke. Check out the website lots of books and more in the spring collection. www.booksurfllc.com
The holidays were spectacular. We drove to Arizona to spend with my wonderful in-laws. We stopped in NM to visit more relatives on the way had a blast. Then four corners and met the in-laws at the Grand Canyon. We explored for a couple of days. Then a wonderful Christmas at their winter home in Arizona. The family loved the trip.
I am very excited about 2015. Hoping my books get into the hands of many kids. My writing is coming back. I am working on my urban fantasy novel New Moon Brethren and 6th children's book Magic Carousel. I joined the local writers group and enjoying those meetings. I have an event with three other authors at Biggby Coffee in February. Susan Stec, Jeni Decker and Becca Vincenza.
2015 is becoming a wonderful adventure. More adventures on the way I am sure.
Thanks for dropping in hope you enjoyed the adventure. Enjoy the adventure every day brings you, WB

Box Office Report: 'Skyfall' Headed For $80 Million Debut, Tops Friday With $30.8 Mil
James Bond is back with a vengeance.
Skyfall topped the domestic box office on Friday with a stellar $30.8 million; combined with the $2.2 million earned Thursday in IMAX and other large-format runs, the movie's total is $33 million. Worldwide, the film has earned nearly $400 million.
PHOTOS: The Making of 'Skyfall': Bond is Back, Better Than Ever
Directed by Sam Mendes and starring Daniel Craig, the MGM/Sony event pic is headed for a domestic debut in the $80 million range. That would be the top opening for a Bond title, not accounting for inflation.
Quantum of Solace debuted to $67.5 million in mid-November 2008, a series best, while Casino Royale -- marking Craig's first turn as 007 -- opened to $40.8 million in November 2006.
Excluding the $2.2 Thursday number, Skyfall's three-day opening is projected to be $77.8 million.
Produced by EON, the 23rd installment in the iconic spy franchise earned an A CinemaScore, mirroring strong reviews.
EON Productions and MGM are partners on Skyfall, while Sony has marketing and distribution duties.
Skyfall has already done massive business overseas, grossing well north of $347 million through Thursday.
THR Cover: How the Bond Franchise Almost Died
This time out, cinema's most famous spy must save both M -- again played by Judi Dench -- and MI6 from former operative-turned-villain Raoul Silva, played by Javier Bardem. The movie also stars Ralph Fiennes, Naomie Harris, Berenice Lim Marlohe and Albert Finney.
Skyfall cost roughly $200 million to make after rebates.
Friday also brought good news for Steven Spielberg's Lincoln, which DreamWorks and Disney are opening in 11 markets this weekend. The historical drama, starring Daniel Day Lewis, grossed $268,000 for the day, putting its location avenue at a promising $24,376.
Box office observers believe Lincoln could post a weekend screen average of roughly $80,000.
Spielberg hopes to play off the presidential election and the heightened interest in politics.

I brewed this quite some time ago, maybe a year or so if memory serves. We had the last pint this weekend and I have to say that this gets better with age although die hards may prefer the younger more robust version.
With age the great beer under the peat began to peek out more. Clean malt, a touch of hop (my addition), a good mouthfeel, all topped with a gentle peatiness. I'm thinking that I should make this again and simply store it away.
Thanks for the recipe and concept.
This is grain
which any fool can eat. But for which the Lord intended, a more divine means of consumption. Let us give praise to our maker, and glory to His bounty, by learning about
.. beer. Friar Tuck
I just cracked open a bottle of my small batch 100% peat smoked malt ale. Although the peat smoke is in your face at the nose, the palate is surprisingly and pleasantly clean. I made this batch because I hade 5 lbs of peat smoked malt and decided not to use it in the brew I purchased it for, but after tasting this, I'd make it again at full scale.
I brewed this in april of 2013 and just cracked another bottle open. Its fun to drag this beer out for beer lovers that have tried everything. Because there is nothing like this beer anywhere that I know of. At a year and a half it has mellowed a bit, the beautiful smokey goodness and sweetness is still there in full force. The smoke monster has been tamed a bit, but still has claws and fangs. I think the true potential of this beer will be revealed after 3-5 years.
Haha. I took a bottle of a high percentage peat smoked beer to work last year and put it on the tasting panel. It was an 11%abv barley wine. It was rather oxidized at this point (three years) and the peat gave someone the impression of McD's bbq sauce, I think, was one comment. Makes me want to do it again but all peat malt like this recipe.
Going through life is hard.
Going through life stupid is harder.
Brew board I was on years ago had a member "Mr. Peat." Everything he brewed had peat. I've used a few ounces in a Scottish ale before, can't imagine 100% of the grain bill.
Holly dead thread, Batman.
FWIW, I ended up brewing this sometime in '13. Completely relate to some of the most recent posts.
After at least a year of age, the distinct smokey character is still there. It's fun to pull out a bottle every now and then. This thing naturally ages.
So does the aroma compare to opening up a bottle of Laphroiag or similarly peaty scotch?

am a Mistress of Spices.
I can work the others too. Mineral, metal, earth and sand and stone. The gems with their cold clear light. The liquids that burn their hues into your eyes till you see nothing else. I learned them all on the island.
But the spices are my love.
I know their origins, and what their colors signify, and their smells. I can call each by the true-name it was given at the first, when earth split like skin and offered it up to the sky. Their heat runs in my blood. From amchur to zafran, they bow to my command. At a whisper they yield up to me their hidden properties, their magic powers.
Yes, they all hold magic, even the everyday American spices you toss unthinking into your cooking pot.
You doubt? Ah. You have forgotten the old secrets your mother's mothers knew. Here is one of them again: Vanilla beans soaked soft in goat's milk and rubbed on the wristbone can guard against the evil eye. And here another: A measure of pepper at the foot of the bed, shaped into a crescent, cures you of nightmare.
But the spices of true power are from my birthland, land of ardent poetry, aquamarine feathers. Sunset skies brilliant as blood.
They are the ones I work with.
If you stand in the center of this room and turn slowly around, you will be looking at every Indian spice that ever was--even the lost ones--gathered here upon the shelves of my store.
I think I do not exaggerate when I say there is no other place in the world quite like this.
When you open the bin that sits by the entrance to the store you smell it right away, though it will take a little while for your brain to register that subtle scent, faintly bitter like your skin and almost as familiar.
Brush the surface with your hand, and the silky yellow powder will cling to the pads of your palm, to your fingertips. Dust from a butterfly wing.
Bring it to your face. Rub it on cheek, forehead, chin. Don't be hesitant. For a thousand years before history began, brides--and those who long to be brides--have done the same. It will erase blemishes and wrinkles, suck away age and fat. For days afterward, your skin will give off a pale golden glow.
Each spice has a day special to it. For turmeric it is Sunday, when light drips fat and butter-colored into the bins to be soaked up glowing, when you pray to the nine planets for love and luck.
Turmeric which is also named halud, meaning yellow, color of daybreak and conch-shell sound. Turmeric the preserver, keeping foods safe in a land of heat and hunger. Turmeric the auspicious spice, placed on the heads of newborns for luck, sprinkled over coconuts at pujas, rubbed into the borders of wedding saris.
But there is more. That is why I pick them only at the precise moment when night slides into day, those bulbous roots like gnarly-brown fingers, why I grind them only when Swati the faith-star shines incandescent in the north.
When I hold it in my hands, the spice speaks to me. Its voice is like evening, like the beginning of the world.
I am turmeric who rose out of the ocean of milk when the devas and asuras churned for the treasures of the universe. I am turmeric who came after the nectar and before the poison and thus lie in between.
Yes, I whisper, swaying to its rhythm. Yes. You are turmeric, shield for heart's sorrow, anointment for death, hope for rebirth.
Together we sing this song, as we have many times.
And so I think at once of turmeric when Ahuja's wife comes into my store this morning wearing dark glasses.

Ontario missing benefits of 'nominee' immigrants, report says
Newcomers pre-selected by provinces based on labour needs get in faster, succeed sooner.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Ontario is lagging behind in reaping the benefits of a program that brings in skilled immigrants more quickly and more successfully, a new government report shows.
A review of the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), which allows provinces to select their own immigrants based on local economic needs, found that 80 per cent of the selected immigrants are employed in the first year — most of them in their area of expertise. The program fast-tracks immigrants with the right skills, bringing them to Canada in less than a year.
Their average income, depending on province, ranges from $29,600 to $41,700 in the first year, and rises to between $35,200 and $45,100 after three years.
Although newcomers selected through the standard federal skilled immigrant program have a similar employment rate initially, they lag behind the provincial nominees by a full 10 per cent after three years. About 87 per cent of the federal skilled immigrants are employed then, compared with 97 per cent among the nominees.
The federal immigrants tend to earn less than the provincial nominees for the first three years, but do catch up and surpass them after five years.
"PNP has grown a great deal, representing 20 per cent of the total economic class immigration in 2009," says the Citizenship and Immigration Canada report released Thursday.
"For some provinces, such as Manitoba, New Brunswick and Saskatchewan, the program is the primary vehicle through which they attract immigrants to their province."
Ontario doesn't benefit to the same extent, even though it's still Canada's top destination for immigrants with almost 120,000 — or 42 per cent of all immigrants — settling here in 2010.
The province was a late-comer to the program, launching its own nominee procedure only in 2007. Between 2005 and 2009, only 1,247 — or 1.2 per cent of the total nominees — came to Ontario.
Ontario Immigration Minister Charles Sousa said the evaluation report "does not fully capture our high retention rates or the high calibre of PNP immigrants coming to Ontario. This is because they used data predominantly from the years before our program was fully up and running."
Sousa pointed out that the province's nominee target of 1,000 is set by Ottawa and "has been unilaterally frozen for this year."
"This is just another reason why Ontario needs a stronger say on immigration selection, to ensure we have the right immigration mix that continues to support our economic prosperity," he said.
But the highly touted program isn't without problems.
Thanks to the pre-screening done by the provinces, immigrants coming in through PNP get approved at a rate of 96 per cent, compared with just 50 per cent under the usual federal application program.
But the report raises concerns over the lack of "systematic collection and reporting" of program information and the need for a "strong emphasis on program integrity."
Serious allegations of corruption and mismanagement have been raised about the program in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.
"There are differing levels of rigour applied by provinces and territories when confirming applicants' adherence to eligibility criteria and, as a result, fraud and misuse can occur," said the report, which surveyed federal and provincial officials and external groups representing unions, employers and immigrant nominees.
"But the general perception was that it was no more likely that there would be fraud (mainly related to jobs) on PNP applications than on any other economic program applications."
The report calls for the establishment of minimum language standards for all nominees and stronger links between their occupations and specific local labour market needs. It also recommends a monitoring and reporting mechanism to boost the program's accountability and integrity.

Biosource Clarifying Exfoliating Gel for Normal/Combination Skin is a cleansing gel with polyethylene beads included for exfoliation. All of the minerals in the formula make mere cameo appearances, so this remains a very standard, but good, topical scrub for its intended skin type.
This translucent, blue-green gel produces a light lather that gently cleanses and exfoliates facial skin. Sloughs away impurities and dead skin cells with micro-fine exfoliating particles without damaging delicate facial skin. Facial skin is refreshed, smoother, and even toned. Complexion is more radiant and healthier-looking.
Water, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Polyethylene, Coco-Betaine, Dipropylene Glycol, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Chloride, Glycol Stearate, Sodium Hydroxide, Chondrus Crispus (Carrageenan), Chlorphenesin, Fragrance, Methylparaben, Stearic Acid, Imidazolidinyl Urea, Magnesium Gluconate, Limonene, Potassium Chloride, Butylparaben, Ethylparaben, Tetrasodium EDTA, Isobutylparaben, Propylparaben, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Benzophenone-4, Hexyl Cinnamal, Benzyl Salicylate, Zinc Gluconate, Vaccinium Myrtillus Extract, Saccharum Officinarum (Sugar Cane) Extract, Copper Gluconate, Citrus Dulcis (Orange) Fruit Extract, Citrus Limonum (Lemon) Extract, Acer Saccharinum (Sugar Maple) Extract, Blue 1, Manganese Gluconate, Yellow 5
Biotherm At-A-Glance
Strengths: Sunscreens now include the right UVA-protecting ingredients; some good cleansers and makeup removers.
Weaknesses: Redundancy, especially within the moisturizer category where there are far too many products whose differences are more tied to name and claims than formula; overuse of alcohol in the moisturizers (the drying kind, not benign fatty alcohols such as cetyl or stearyl); jar packaging; bland toners; ineffective AHA/BHA, and skin-lightening products; overly fragrant products make this brand a poor choice for those with rosacea or sensitive skin.
Biotherm is one of the many companies owned by L'Oreal USA, and has a vast array of products, with many redundancies. It was founded in 1952 by a French biologist who discovered, as the story goes, a mineral-rich element in mountain spring water. Flash-forward to a slick lab where white-coated scientists supposedly figured out a way to capture this element (called vitreoscilla ferment) in its active form, and that's essentially the story behind Biotherm, now sold in 70 countries. The company announced in 2007 that Biotherm would not be sold in any U.S. or Canadian department stores anymore yet would be sold online. But as of 2009, it seems the company changed plans, at least in terms of its Canadian distribution. The brand is sold in most Canadian department stores as well as Shoppers Drug Mart.
Biotherm's claims are wrapped around the effect their special ingredient (vitreoscilla ferment) has on skin, and how it helps skin reactivate its own natural biological processes. We weren't even partway through reviewing these products before noticing the products are far from unique or specially formulated. A major reason for that is the inclusion of problematic ingredients in many products, notably alcohol, lots of fragrance, and menthol derivatives.
But is there anything to Biotherm's fervent belief in and pervasive use of vitreoscilla ferment? This gram-negative bacteria can help cells utilize oxygen better in vitro (Source: Journal of Biotechnology, January 2001, pages 57–66). But whether that effect can be translated to benefit skin cells via a cosmetic formulation is unknown, and there are no studies supporting the use of this ingredient for skin care. Therefore, you're left to take Biotherm's word for it, even though they don't bother to explain why they avoided so many well-researched antioxidants, or use minuscule amounts of intriguing ingredients that in greater amounts can positively affect skin's structure and healthy functioning. Plus you have to wonder, if this is such a great ingredient for skin, why don't the other L'Oreal companies such as Lancome, Kiehl's, La Roche-Posay, or even L'Oreal use it?
Biotherm is also big on minerals, specifically the gluconate forms of magnesium, copper, and zinc. All of these have some research indicating their merit for skin, but mostly in terms of wound healing or being mildly antibacterial. That's not the way they're showcased in Biotherm's products, of course, because anti-wrinkle and anti-aging claims are what sell products. Although they link minerals with anti-aging prowess, a wrinkle is not a wound. Moreover, the tiny amounts of these minerals found throughout the Biotherm lineup only nullifies their already limited effectiveness as part of a comprehensive skin-care routine. There are some gems to be found in this line, but proceed with caution because most of it is downright boring or just plain bad for your skin.
Note: Biotherm is categorized as a brand that tests on animals because its products are sold in China. Although Biotherm does not conduct animal testing for their products sold elsewhere, the Chinese government requires imported cosmetics be tested on animals, so foreign companies retailing there must comply. This requirement is why some brands state that they don't test on animals "unless required by law." Animal rights organizations consider cosmetic companies retailed in China to be brands that test on animals, and so does the Paula's Choice Research Team.

Your engine oil is running low because it it being burnt in the cylinders. Most probably you need to replace the valve seals and piston rings to cure the problem.
Check and ensure the oil level is good and top up if necessary to prevent damage to the engine.

crack in garage foundation
kcbluNovember 18, 2012
Wasn't sure where to post this. How would you fix this? This crack appeared in the foundation behind the 3rd car garage (slab) due to the drought this year. Inside there are a few hairline cracks but also a crack in the inside on where the wall meets the foundation on the inside from where this crack is (not as large). I am thinking this can be fixed with epoxy injection but not sure. Ideas?
Hmmm... the foundation no doubt has rebar reinforcing it, so, it's possible that part of foundation won't completely fail. The most important thing now, while you wait a period of time for witnessing additional movement, is to water-proof the crack. Concrete sealer is probably the best way to go, or, just a quality caulk may be sufficient.

I guess the Fed forgot to tell the CEOs that QEIII means they can hire people.
Fewer US CEOs planning to expand, hire
The Business Roundtable says that only 29 percent of its member CEOs plan to increase hiring over the next six months. That's down from 36 percent in June, when the group last released its quarterly survey.
CEOs are more pessimistic about their future sales and the overall U.S. economy. While 58 percent expect their sales to increase over the next six months, that's down from 75 percent in the June report.
The Roundtable says CEOs are also worried about the impact of a package of budget cuts and tax increases that is set to take effect at the start of next year.
