A Harvard-trained neurosurgeon's minute-by-minute account of his own near-death experience - and what he discovered in the heavenly realm beyond life.
On November 10, 2008, Dr. Eben Alexander was driven into coma by a disease so lethal that only 1 in 10,000,000 survive. Seven days later, he awakened with memories of a fantastic odyssey deep into another realm that were more real than this earthly one - memories that included meeting a deceased birth sister he had never known existed.
Dr. Alexander deployed all his knowledge as a scientist to find out whether his mind could have played a trick on him. In its shutdown state, there was no way it could have functioned at all. That left only one conclusion: that we are conscious in spite of our brains - that, in fact, consciousness is at the root of all existence.
The evidence supporting Dr. Alexander's experience transformed him into a believer in God's unconditional love and brought reconciliation to his family - and will upend our ideas about human consciousness and spirituality.
©2012 Eben Alexander (P)2012 Simon & Schuster, Inc
"Dr. Eben Alexander's near-death experience is the most astounding I have heard in more than four decades of studying this phenomenon. In my opinion, Dr Alexander is living proof of an afterlife." (Raymond Moody, MD, PhD, author of Life Beyond Life)
"Eben Alexander brings a unique perspective to the sacred world combining a glorious, personal vision of spiritual consciousness with patient, insightful scientific inquiry. Proof of Heaven is a compelling story of what may lie ahead for all of us in the life beyond this one. We have nothing to fear." (Allan J. Hamilton, MD, FACS, author of The Scalpel and the Soul and Zen Mind, Zen Horse)
"I can highly recommend this important book that has the potential to break many scientific taboos." (Dr. Pim van Lommel, cardiologist, author of Consciousness Beyond Life: The Science of the Near-Death Experience)
"Not for serious seekers"
I consume a lot of audiobooks and realized I'd only been reviewing books that I felt were worth the commentary, and had been ignoring the ones I'm kind of embarrassed about.
Which is a disservice to other members who, like me, often rely on reviews to help me decide what to download.
In my younger years I was fascinated with NDE's, and a recent experience a friend told me about made me want to revisit the literature to see what was new. Alexander's account looked promising, so I downloaded it on a whim.
It's interesting enough, but nothing distinguishes it from other NDE's--his claim that his brain was dead has been refuted and the truth is, he could have experienced everything during his reboot when he came out of his coma. And the fact that he calls himself a neuroscientist throughout the book (surgeons and scientists are two very different things in my mind) also put me off. There is nothing in this book that remotely "proves" there is an afterlife.
So while I would love to believe his account and hope it's true, I can't recommend this book to anyone who is seriously searching for answers.
I am a Physics and Engineering student.
You would think by the title the author does not really mean he has proof and that it is just a catchy title. However, he does actually feel that he does have proof. I wasn't convince, not totally anyway. I have trouble believing in an afterlife, but I want to. So, I look for stories like his to try and convince myself. I am somewhat more convinced, I guess.
There is a lot of unnecessary information in this book, at least I thought so, and not enough of the information I was looking for. The book flowed very well and was not at all boring for me even with the unnecessary things.
I do not regret buying this book or spending the time to listen to it. I would recommend this book, but don't expect to have a detailed description of what this man claims heaven is like. It is more of a, "I died, went to heaven and can prove it," type of book.
I haven't read the print version but think I might like to have it.
He seemed very honest in describing his experience and feelings.
I find myself disrespectful of most organized religions but I found great honesty, comfort and hope here.
Just a goodolelady,reading and listening to books now as reading is getting harder.
"good story, an adventure of the mind"
Sure. It's good to hear the perspective of a near death experience.
the confirmation of where his mind went and that we are a consciencousness beyond this world.
the fact that he read it and believed in his experience and miracle or recouperating is compelling.
Nothing extreme.
No additional comment
"I believe !"
I would listen to this book again because it gave me a sense of peace
when Eben realized the identity of the girl on the butterfly's wing
I could hear his belief in his voice
"Compelling without being over the top"
Provided time to reflect our our understanding of human consciousness
The analysis of the author's near death experience
He made the story much more believable
"Do you want to "believe"?; this for encouragement!"
He starts out a little dry and if you have no medical background you may get a little lost but stick through that first part. It will end shortly.
The really thought provoking moment comes toward the end and when it can all be wrapped up. The revelation at the end will you give you pause, especially if you have ever encountered and kind of NDE or if you have only just encountered 'an out of body' experience. If neither of those apply, the you may want to read this for some answers to those unanswered questions in the back your mind.
Since the loss of my 'heart parent' - my father, I am always looking for different verifications that death as we know it, is certainly not The End. This was a comfort to me to read this and to see what so may others have also said in the past. Although I wish no ill on others, it would be well interpreted by those who are in the medical field when these kinds of experiences occur. When the Right brain meets the Left brain, both brains are better together, correct?
I glad you wrote this account Eben. May more people realize and acknowledge that there is something greater to be had.
"This book is a must-read"
I listen to the whole book at least three timesAnd certain parts of it even more.
Mechanically Dr. Alexander did an excellent job of crossing his T's and dotting his eyes with the book. But certainly the most compelling part of the book was the subject matter. His story was beautifully told and left me with little doubt concerning his experience. Thank you Eben for daring to share your story. This book definitely deserves a spot on your night table.
The story you're dying to see.
Don't pass this one up.
"what else did God tell him????"
While I enjoyed Eben Alexander's account of his near death experience I was left wanting to know more of his time away from his body. he mentions God gave told him many secrets and knowledge but he didnt give us readers much more then "God is love"
but....maybe that is all we need to know.
im still touched by his account of his personal doubts and skepticism before his NDE. He is also a decent narrator for his first attempt
"Listened to this more than once"
If you like books that looks at unearthly concepts from a scientific view point or in this case from a scientific mind then this is one book you will love. This book describes the actual experience along with all of the science that tried to disprove it but couldn't. This is the type of book that can sway people who are on our close to the fence about things beyond this world

I'm a vegan, a life-long learner, and a walking contradiction. I'm generally friendly but quiet and better one on one than I am in a group.

posted this seedling a few months ago when it was much smaller (leaves were about 4" long), some suggested it might be a bay.
now its bigger and the larger leaves are about 8" long.
any thoughts?

Dr. Eric Linden: An Innovator and Teacher of Laser Dentistry.
Dr. Eric Linden is a Periodontist with 29 years' experience in periodontal and implant specialty practice. He is a Clinical Professor of Periodontics and Implantology at Columbia University School of Dental Medicine and Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center (more). He was the first periodontist to perform Laser Periodontal Surgery (LANAP) in New York City and New Jersey, and is respected by his colleagues as a pioneer in laser periodontics. He also specializes in bone regeneration, dental implants, and biostimulation. When necessary, he employs traditional periodontics. Dr. Linden is often requested to review research, clinical papers, case reports, and manuscripts for publication in the "International Journal of Periodontics & Restorative Dentistry"
Dr. Linden is one of the first periodontists in the world to use four types of lasers. Each of has a specific application in the treatment of periodontal disease and peri-implantitis. Dr. Linden uses whichever is most appropriate for each case:
Thanks, in part, to Dr. Linden's efforts to popularize the laser and instruct others in its use, more and more dental professionals are acquiring and using the technology. There are nearly 2,000 doctors in the world qualified to use the Nd/YAG (neodymium-doped:yttrium, aluminum, and garnet) laser for the advanced treatment of periodontal disease and peri-implant disease. But Dr. Linden is among only 29 officially certified by the Institute for Advanced Laser Dentistry to train and teach other dental professionals in its use.
He has now helped thousands of patients, treating gum disease, performing tooth extractions, implants, and other periodontal procedures with various dental lasers.
Most periodontists still treat advanced gum disease with traditional surgery… read more..

Dr. Linden uses the latest and most innovative diagnostic and therapeutic procedures:
LANAP is an acronym for "Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure".
Traditionally, moderate to advanced periodontitis, or gum disease, was treated with surgery involving cutting, stitching, and significant recovery time. This invasive approach was often painful, and was contraindicated for patients taking medications such as blood thinners, certain cardiac medications, and other systemic medications. Although traditional procedures have been successful, LANAP is
It should be made clear that LANAP does not emit ionizing radiation, as do x-rays. We have treated pregnant patients with lasers safely for many years without any issues. To make the point perfectly clear, we administer the laser treatment without any lead shielding, as there is no harmful radiation whatsoever.
New Jersey TV NEWSChannel 12 recently taped a medical segment with Dr. Linden, including video of him performing LANAP on a live patient, and an interview discussing laser treatment, gum disease, and its systemic connections, causes, treatment, etc.

Dear Dr. Linden,
I am a 41-year old female with very severe, advanced periodontal disease. Very loose teeth/bone loss/ visible calculus/tartar buildup/dental phobia (bad experience as a child). I finally went to a dentist around 2005. He initially indicated full extraction. Then he referred me to a periodontist. The periodontist told me that I'd probably lose my front teeth (upper & lower). He also did a scaling/root planing in 2 separate appointments. He gave me IV sedation due to my fear of the procedure/pain. It didn't work! After the first time, I told him it didn't work well and he upped the dosage for the 2nd time. It still didn't work. I remembered everything. It was terrible. Interestingly enough, after the two procedures, I would be really groggy and sleepy the next day. I ended up not going back. Was so fearful. Fast forward to now. Some teeth are very very loose (although none have fallen out). I know you would have to see x-rays, but might LANAP work for me or what? I would like to find a compassionate provider. Don't know exactly what to do.

I had an overcrowding problem on my bottom teeth as a kid before I got braces, so I had to get two bottom premolars removed. Everything looks great and I've had no problems. A dentist sent me to get all my wisdom teeth out and made a bad call by not looking at my file closely and seeing that I needed to leave my two bottom wisdom teeth in so they would come in to be beneath my top back molars, preventing super eruption. Since I was young I did not know to get a second opinion and now I am suffering with what to do. They have dropped some and I am sleeping in a splint to put pressure on them to keep them in as long as I can. I really want to get implants on the bottom to prevent it from happening any worse and shave down the part of the tooth on the top that has dropped some so they will be even with the rest. I am debating whether to get two implants on my bottom but I just read that laser tooth re growth may be a possibility for the near future and I am now confused on what I should do. I don't want to wait any longer but I really wish it were already available and am wondering if I would even be a candidate for the laser re growth treatment. I do not want to see any bone loss with my jaw structure either. PLEASE help me make a smart decision. Price is not an issue I am desperate and will do whatever is best.
If you need to have implants in the space, you should probably have them done. Laser regrowth refers to areas around existing teeth or implants. Continue..

Need advice on Japanese Maple grown in pot *HELP*!
Hey guys, I need some advice. I just acquired a small Japanese Maple - "Orange Dream". It's like 12-15 inches in height.
1.) What kind of soil should I put this in?, and should I fertilize it?
2.) I live in zone 6, what can I do with the tree in the winter? Last year was one of the coldest winters on record. Can I keep in a large shed? Wrap it in a blanket? I really have no idea.
Thanks guys!
put it in the ground ...
all of mine.. lived thru a z5 MI winter... adn i am positive it was a lot worse than your .... your z6 should be just fine ...
i would plant it.. in mother earth.. in fall ... when the leaves of other trees change color.. that way.. you dont have the stress of losing its leaves by planting it in the heat of summer...
in the mean time... i would .. depending how big its current pot is... repot it.. w/o root disturbance.. into at least a one gallon pot.. and put it in bright full shade ... the bigger the pot ... for holding over.. the easier it will be to maintain proper watering .. do not disturb the roots..
there are many professionals.. who can do all kinds of things this time of year.. you do not impress me as such [and i am impressed you have the wisdom to ask and learn] .. so i am trying to make it a easy and fail proof as i can ...
and as to watering.. it is a tree ... over watering... watering it like an annual or a perennial.. in a pot.. will rot the roots ... let it near dry in between watering... insert finger and find out ...
Thanks for the advice, I should have been more clear though.
This one NEEDS to stay in a pot, as I have no shady spot for it on..mother earth.
I just want to know how to keep it alive over winter in the pot, and if it's possible. Obviously I can't just bring it inside bc it needs a period of dormancy.
Thanks again!
Welcome to the forum. So your maple needs to stay in a container and not planted in the ground, correct?
Couple of questions. First, what size is the current container and what type of soil is in the container? Next, do you have an unheated garage or shed to store the tree in over winter?
Honestly, I am not sure. I have not even received it yet. Hopefully will within the week. All I know is it is anywhere from 12-18 inches in height. I imagine it's in some crappy plastic container. I plan on putting it in a nicer pot, something glazed so it has a less chance of cracking in the winter.
Yes I have an unheated garage that prob gets in the high 50s during the winter. No light though.
I also have a shed outside with windows, it obviously would get very cold in there, but at least be protected from wind.
Oh sorry, I thought you already had the tree. Well in that case it's hard to give specific advice.
What I would do, if I planned to keep a tree in a container for a long time, is to purchase a large container that the tree can live in for at least a couple of years. Maple roots can get big in a hurry so the new container should be several times as large as the current one.
We don't know what soil it's in now but I personally would use a bark based soil mix and stay away from those big bags of potting soil sold at big box stores, especially if it will be in this container for a long time.
There is a thread on Garden Web called "Trees in Containers" that has much information on this topic and may answer many of your questions about soils and watering, etc.
Hope that helps
BTW, ceramic or terra cotta containers can crack in winter due to freeze/ thaw cycles so take that into consideration.
When storing for winter you want a location where the temps will usually be between about 20F and 45F. If your garage gets up to mid-50s then then it will be too warm based on what I've read in books and here on GW. When the tree goes dormant in early winter it should stay that way until early spring.
Broadly speaking, you should put it in a soil that allows you to water correctly, which is the dividing line between appropriate and inappropriate soils, no small consideration.
How you fertilize depends on your soil choice and watering habits, but it will be very hard to beat a 3:1:2 ratio fertilizer ('ratio' is different and a more important consideration than just the raw NPK %s. 24-8-16, 12-4-8, 9-3-6 all have 3:1:2 ratios).
High 50s while over-wintering is too high as it will stimulate growth very early and impart resistance to chill significantly. Burying the container out of wind and sun for the winter would be better - like on the N side of a heated building. If the shed is wind tight so it holds lots of geo heat, you can use that, but again, you should avoid soil temperatures above 42* for as long as possible. Wrapping in a blanket won't do anything unless the insulation is being used to trap an extraneous source of heat. An example would be a cardboard box overturned so it covers the plant would trap geo heat rising through the garage floor. The same arrangement on a deck or balcony would be useless unless the balcony slab was a source of heat being conducted from inside the building.
You don't really need to do anything as far as repotting goes until spring, but you might want to pot up. Repotting and potting up are different. Potting up ensures your plant will always be limited by root congestion. Repotting and the accompanying root pruning eliminates the limits imposed by root congestion.
Here is a link that might be useful: Lots of good info here about trees in pots over the long term ...
Not to beat a dead horse, but...
You said that you are containerizing it because you have no place in shade to plant the tree. Is the shade the limiting factor? Nothing wrong with growing a tree in a pot btw (half of my tropicals wanna be trees after all). The only reason I ask is because they can take full, midday sun as long as the summer climate is not too extreme. Mine gets an unobstructed, southern exposure in a humid, Zone 7 zone w.o. any problems.
Great info guys and thank you. I will most likely keep it in the shed over winter. I just want to make sure the soil is right. Is mixing pine bark and top soil sufficient? Or the orchid mix?
Also, the shade is not the only factor, I would just like to keep this one pot grown for awhile. Maybe someday plant it in the yard when it gets bigger.
For the soil I would do a search here on GW for Al's "gritty mix ". You will find many references to it. It's basically a blend of 3 different materials (pine or fir bark, Turface or DE, and granite) . The mixed product looks much like bonsai soil and it's perfect for growing trees in containers.
The gritty mix soil will last for several years at least. The bagged soil from the big box stores will break down very quickly.
Jalcon : In addition to the bark, Turface, and granite you will need some form of fertilizer to provide nutrition to the tree. Any soil you use would need fertilizer of some type . The "Trees in Container" threads cover this in detail but you can buy fertilizer in liquid, water soluble, or control release forms.
As a reference you can find many images of the gritty mix by doing an internet search.
Jalcon - if you focus on your soil's structure instead of its ability to "feed" your plants, and shoulder the responsibility for your plants' nutritive needs, you'll be better off. If you get the soil right, watering and fertilizing plants in pots is monkey easy.
FWIW - I probably have 100-125 different species of trees in pots, many of them Acers, and I use the same fertilizer for ALL of them.
Just to add to Al's always excellent advice - I too grow a great number of trees in containers, most of which are JM's - I use a controlled release fertilizer (CRF) - Osmocote - when I first pot up and again at the beginning of each new growing season. I then supplement during the summer with a liquid now and again. For that I also use a Dyna Gro product (Liquid Grow rather than Foliage Pro) as it addresses the needs of ALL my plants, including the flowering and fruiting ones as well as the trees and shrubs. I may use only 3-4 times a season on the permanent tree plantings to supplement trace minerals - the Osmocote takes care of the primary nutrient needs for the entire season.

21 Mar 2015 : Shadertoy to shaderback #
It turns out many of the shaders on Shadertoy (at least those not using channel inputs) can be used by shaderback.js with surprisingly little conversion. Take a look at this really rather amazing example by Inigo Quilez.Comment
21 Mar 2015 : Shaderback.js is go #
There don't appear to have been any ill-effects from using shaderback.js, so the default is now to have the animated background enabled. It can still be removed if needs-be. The lack of abstraction using GPU code on the Web is really refreshing; it feels like the '90s, poking colour values direct into the screenbuffer again!Comment

There's now a quick 'n dirty page up with the details about Shaderback. Eventually I'll tidy it up and put some more useful info there.
14 Mar 2015 : GPU generated web backgrounds #
WebGL brings so much potential to the Web, with one of the neatest being its ability to harness GPU performance, effectively bypassing the Javascript bottleneck. I'm currently testing this using some GPU-generated procedural backgrounds for the site. The first version is browsable for testing and I'm hoping to bring it over to the main site if all goes well. I've wrapped the Javascipt needed to get it to work into a simple library so it can be put on any site; available from GitHub. I've also put together a brief set of slides to test its use with impress.js and am really pleased with the results so far. Hope you like it too!Comment

EU ban on powerful vacuum cleaners prompts anger legal challenge
Which? tells consumers to buy now as Best Buy cleaners fall foul of EU energy label that prohibits motors above 1,600w
Consumers are being urged to buy powerful vacuum cleaners while they can after it emerged that some of the most powerful models on the market will disappear in September when a new EU rule comes into force.
An EU energy label, to be introduced from 1 September, means manufacturers will not be able to make or import vacuum cleaners with a motor that exceeds 1,600 watts.
The Which? consumer group said many of its Best Buy models had motor sizes that exceeded this, "so if you're in the market for a powerful vacuum, you should act quickly, before all of the models currently available sell out". The wattage will be limited to only 900 watts by 2017 further restricting choice. Current cleaners typically boast an average of 1,800 watts.
Which? warned that many of the models that appear in its Best Buy tables have motor sizes in excess of the new limit.
Of seven awarded Best Buy status since January 2013, five have motors of more than 1,600 watts. A Best Buy 2,200w vacuum costs around 27 pounds a year to run in electricity around 8 more pounds than the best-scoring 1,600w it has tested.
Our consumer magazine tested several "eco" vacuum cleaner and many did a good job. It largely comes down to how well the unit is designed.
Vacuum cleaner EU energy labelling explained
More efficiency with equal performance cost money.
The standard Miele vacuum motor is 1200 watts.
The 2017 standard is 900 watts.
We know how unsophisticated energy hogs Miele produces. They will need to improve their efficiency by 25%. I can only wonder what it will do to prices.
Miele cat and dog S8380 vacuum cleaner is $949.
Do we get the new 900 watt motors in 2017? Or can/will Miele make the 1200 watt for export outside the EU?
I'm all for sensible environmental regs, but, really? Isn't it obvious that if you weaken a vacuum enough, you're just going to need more energy in the end? Having to vacuum for 10 minutes with a 900 watt model is the same as vacuuming 5 minutes with a 1800 watt model.
It's like standard low flush toilets - I call them 2 flush toilets.
The best vacuums from the January 2014 issue of our consumer magazine pulled 870 to 1340 watts while ranging from 140 to 200 Euros.
The only vaccums to ever achieve "very good" dust removal were to ones with a power head - such as a 700 watts Vorwerk canister (plus 100 watts for the power head).
As far as toilets are concerned: our toilet uses .8 or 1.6 gallons per flush, depending on whether you press the large flush or small flush button. It has no problem flushing in toilet paper, wet wipes and... other stuff... on one go.
I so wish 240v electricity was more common in the US. As a result, our dishwashers, washing machines, and hair dryers all take longer, and in the first two require hot and cold water connections instead of just cold (and draw water from your water tank, leaving less available for your shower or bath). And our vacuum cleaners aren't as powerful.
The indoor pool I frequent has commercial 240v hair dryers in the locker room and they're wonderful - dry hair and body in 30 seconds.
I'm fine with the low-water-use toilets though. Some of them are awful, but it's possible to make a good one. The commode I recented put in our home (Toto Drake 2) uses only 1.28 gallons per flush and still flushes better than the 5-gallon antiquity in my last home. Maybe they'll figure out how to make a good vacuum that uses less power, but for shop-vac type units, suction is everything and that really requires more power. You're not saving energy if you need to run the thing twice as long.

Arts & Museums
»Museum of the Horse Soldier
The Museum of the Horse Soldier seeks to educate visitors of the contributions and history of the United States Military's mounted services. Cavalry officers and enlisted men are highlighted, as well as their horses. Over 200 years of military history are covered here, including objects from battles, the equipment these soldiers needed while in the military, and large panoramic photos of battles. Open Monday and Tuesday by appointment only.
»Venture Fine Arts Gallery
Focusing on original art of the Southwest, Venture Fine Arts Gallery on Tucson's East Side at Trail Dust Town offers a good selection of bronzes focusing on Native American and cowboy lore, quite appropriate to its Western surroundings, as well as oils and watercolors with wildlife themes. Most of the artists showcased here are local Tucsonans. A good selection of small jewelry and gifts is also available.
»Famous French Gallery
The name is somewhat misleading, since gallery owner Juraj Skalina is Czech, and the art he exhibits is really about the American West and its inhabitants. Apart from his own drawings, Juraj shows the works of Western painter Reginald Jones, featuring mainly oil paintings of horses, Indians, and Westerners. Jones' work has been distributed nationwide. The gallery also offers a good collection of antique maps.
»Desert Artisans
Of the co-op galleries in Tucson, this one is probably the best. Thirty local artists show their work on consignment here, representing a cross-section of the Tucson art scene in a variety of media and styles. There is a good mix of painting and sculpture, with a focus on Southwestern desert themes. This is an excellent opportunity to both support local art and get your souvenir from the Southwest.
»Covington Fine Arts Gallery
Specializing in 19th and 20th century watercolors and prints, this fine gallery on Tucson's east side prides itself on featuring quality work of known artists of the past, most prominently masters of the Hudson River School and American Realism. Services also include art appraisals, buying and selling, restoration, brokerage, and framing with hand-carved frames. The owners are very knowledgeable about realistic paintings and will occasionally take 19th and early 20th century paintings on consignment.
»Fort Lowell Museum
If you want to learn more about Tucson's role in the long and often troubled relations between Spanish settlers, early Anglo pioneers and Native American inhabitants, visit the Fort Lowell Museum. This museum is located within an old adobe building at Fort Lowell Park. Here, the Arizona Historical Society presents exhibits and photograph shows on the Apache Wars and historic Fort Lowell. The reconstructed Officers' Quarters serve as a visitor center.
»Brumm's Nature Gallery
This is where artist Norman Brumm exhibits and sells his peculiar brand of art; redwood tables with turquoise inlays, agate dream catchers, pastel drawings of flowers, as well as his selection of crystals, minerals and fossils. In short, anything that is made from natural products or inspired by nature. Norman is widely known beyond Tucson's city limits; some of his pieces are owned by the Japanese royal family and other international luminaries. It's ok to just come into the store and browse, too, without making a purchase.
»Milagro Art Gallery
This classy art gallery in the Plaza Palomino shopping plaza showcases paintings, sculptures and prints from all over the world as well as local artists. Gallery owner Tammy Voorhees offers an eclectic mix of fine art ranging from ethnic traditional to wildly experimental. Apart from being one of the main sources for Ettore DeGrazia's works, she features outstanding artists such as Jude Dayton, David Manje, Faigee Niebow and Josephine Swift-Miller, a storyteller in acrylic. This is also great place for jewelry and gifts to take home as souvenirs.
»The Mini-Time Machine-Museum of Miniatures
The Mini-Time Machine Museum houses a vast collection of miniature artifacts. It has a large variety of antiques, meaning the museum itself could be seen as a miniature time machine. A large space for small objects is the perfect description for this place. Its wide array of exhibits appeals to all ages. Apart from the existing collection, several temporary exhibitions and programs are conducted here seasonally.
»Kay Mallek Gallery
While the gallery has been a fixture in Tucson since 1947, the art that is on display dates back much further. Kay Mallek showcases antique paintings in oil, as well as lithographs and prints of all types. An array of china, art glass, chandeliers, figurines and other precious antiques are also available here. The studio on Swan Road offers silk screen paintings, art restoration and custom tiles decorated with love and care by the artist. It's up to you to choose from bird, animal and plant designs, as well as Mexican or Indian imagery.
»Medicine Man Gallery
With 10,000 square feet, Medicine Man Gallery is one of the biggest galleries of the far East, and the only one in Tucson featuring monumental works on display in a sculpture garden. There is a variety of Native American jewelry, pottery, basketry and a fine collection of Navajo rugs. The place also showcases the works of potter Maria Martinez and the works of renowned Western artist Maynard Dixon.
»Artist of the Month Gallery
As implied in its name, this gallery inside the Unitarian Church on 22nd Street features a different artist every month. All pieces are on consignment, with the gallery taking out a 25 percent commission from every sale, which is actually a pretty good deal for the artist. Gallery manager Bill Bland focuses on art that is produced locally or regionally. Call ahead for current exhibits, events and church activities.

First off I expected the seats to be way in the back since I was getting a deal for the ticket price. $25 for a $50 ticket, but surprisingly the seats were closer than expected! I had a blast at this concert. A lot of special guest such as: Big Sean, The Game, and Tyga. Wiz put on a great show. The venue was great as well.

a young man at work filled my ears with Rothschild conspiracy
facts and some pretty off base theories I have no idea where he got them. This was Today BTW!
Figure he is basically one of those types I call a bullshiatter, so I let some of the embellishments slide. He was pretty convinced on how corrupt the banking system is.
I wrote down Murray Rothbard's Name and the case against the fed.
He also mention Lincoln and something about him being in favor of civil rights So I wrote down Di Lorenzo and Lincoln books.
Mises.org was on the sticky note too.
He asked me if I had anything mind blowing for him to read. ShooT I had a signed copy of Tom Woods 33 questions sitting at my desk i could have thrown him, but all I could think about was Human Action up on the other shelf. Didn't want to give a beginner That!
We'll see; he seems eager...might have a new person join the cause.

Odd-shaped fruit
Every season we all get a few veggies or fruit that just look funny. Thought it might be fun to show them off.
I cannot explain why a predictably globe shaped tomato like Big Beef would look like , but I sure have gotten a kick out of this feller. All the other fruit on the plant are typical Big Beef globe shaped.
Show us your oddballs veggies and fruit. They may look odd, but they usually taste pretty darned good. :)
I was reminded of your post out in the garden today about sun-up, Bonnie.
Searching thru the cucumber vines what do I find? There's a double cuke that's both double and rather bent, as well. The silly little thing looked exactly like it was "mooning" me! My first reaction was to be offended, LOL! I picked it off the vine and tossed it. Now being offended by a cucumber vine is just about as childish as one can get. I just stood out there laughing.
No, I may have trouble with exhibiting my misshapen and "offensive" fruits - - too childish. I did take a picture of this tiny petunia volunteer that showed up in one of my tea herb planters. (What was that about someone being odd? :o)
Another petunia was in with a catnip. The planters had home-grown potting mix so have a few weeds but the catnip was in store-bought mix. So these petunias came from Richter's Herbs and all the way from Toronto!
Re volunteer petunias. Some years ago, I had a couple hanging baskets of the 'wave' purple petunia, and in the winter I took them in and hung them in the greenhouse window. Below were some trays that I used to grow winter salad.
Long story short, seeds from the 'wave', which is some kinda hybrid, fell into the salad trays and germinated, and I took some of these and planted them separately. I had all kinds of variations of purple petunia growing, and a couple of them were spectacular. I've been selecting them, propagating by cuttings, and I haven't bought a petunia now for years.
I'm now concentrating on one that is a darker purple, with a huge blossom, and I have a dozen hanging baskets with that one this year, and I noticed a new derivative showing up in one of them, a smaller flower, but almost painfully bright.
I don't bother to dead head them, I whack them back by 2/3 every now and again when they get scraggly, and just let them do their petunia thing, which is flower constantly.
To the Western eye (that'd be mine, too) some of the Asian veggies are rather odd looking. Especially the bitter melon which begins to glow with an inner light as it ripens. (A setting sun in a very smoky sky adds to the effect. ;o(
- click pic for a close-up -
I especially enjoy the Japanese cukes. Or, are they English cukes, see how things can really get confusing when one "group" appreciates something from somewhere else? Oh, it makes for a lovely world!
The one on the left is especially long but no where near the 3 feet claimed - Kyoto 3 Feet. Tasty King deserves high recommendations but it isn't usually quite as long. The crooked one on top . . . well, they often turn up that way.
Cannot go the bittermelon . . . just TOO bitter.
Snake gourds on the right only look dangerous. I think they may be preferable to Summer squash, flavorwise. But of course, taste is all subjective.
There's a little luffa sponge gourd amongst the snakes! Yikes!! Snakes in the bath!!
All of 'em are just about as similar and dissimilar to each other and to cukes, melons, and squash as muskmelons are to watermelons. This is a wide and diverse family - the Cucurbitaceae.
I'm interested in what David said about petunias from cuttings -- I understand how to root the cuttings, but the question is what do you do with them in the winter? Will the plants just continue to live if brought indoors? They're not an annual that *has* to die at the end of the season?
I overwintered a nice annual geranium (pelargonium) in my basement last year, and I made cuttings off it in mid-winter and grew 12 more from it. Very easy to grow from cuttings. But pelargoniums are actually a tender perennial rather than a true annual. So, are petunias also tender perennials that will live indoors through the winter?
I'm not sure of that much regarding the petunias except that I read they are perennials when the temps are not extreme like ours. I'm going to try the petunias cuttings over winter, too, because I just had to try clippings from them and because they look so cute. My pelargoniums are inside as they have been all summer and are beginning to look a little raggy. I might cut those, too, to start fresh for next year. I hope we hear back from David a bit more on the petunias...
Sorry, hectic weekend - on the trail of the roasted green chili. This is, I think, a New Mexico - centric phenomenon, and expatriate New Mexicans go to great lengths to get their annual ration. On to petunias.
I generally keep mine in 12" dia hanging baskets, but thats just because its easy since thats where they're growing in the summer, and I just take them into the greenhouse and hang them up in there. Before I take them in, I trim off most of the plant, but still leaving a few leaves. I have one plant that is now, I believe 5 years old. They will get root bound, so every year I take that one out and prune off most of the roots, and stick it back in with new soil.
Its pretty much standard over-wintering, not too dry, not to soggy, some light, don't let them freeze. They don't do a whole lot of growing until they get longer day length in the spring.
The fun of it all, for me, is to grow the various off-spring of the the original plant, which are all variations of the original hybrid, and they do seem to be particularly prone to mutation - on one extreme, some will just grow lots of leaves and no flowers, on the other end, I now have one that follows the wave habit, but with huge blossoms. To check out what ya got, plant the cutting or the original plant somewhere where the seeds can fall into something viable, even a wide mouthed pot, and grow out a few of the seedlings to see what you find.
Thanks for sharing David. I learned something new this week! That's great -- I'll be taking cuttings of a pink wave next month and overwinter them in the basement by the south windows. I think my purple wave died (I bought them after it was too hot for transplanting), but if there are any remnants left, I really want some cuttings from that one.
With the petunias and the geraniums, I'm going to have a lot of plants overwintering down there.
So which is it: the or the ?
Actually, it is a Red Star tomato. This is the 1st year I've grown them and most look a little more "reasonable" and all have been just a little larger than most cherries.
I'm very pleased with them but only had a few ripe ones so far. With all that extra . . . it helps that the skin is very tender.
Here are some pics of my strange tomatoes. The butt one was a Brandy Boy 2 yrs ago. The other one is from a Kosovo plant.

Currently I am playing a G15 9 degree with a 60g Serrano shaft in it and on a calm day everything goes fine and the ball flight is slightly higher right around 275-290 but doesn't affect anything too much. But on a windy day into the wind the ball go straight up and straight down major loss in yardage.
Im looking at the 913 D2, and pretty sure Aldila RIP Phenom 70 stiff is the right shaft for me. If you were you describe that shaft and what kind of player it would fit best how would you describe it? Also what kind of ball flight and spin you would expect.
Thanks so much,
Thank you cameron, that being said i believe the RIP Phenom is the apporiate shaft for me, thank you!
Did you go with the RIP Phenom?
No i actually ended up going with the Diamana + plus white 62 gram shaft.

Capheaton Hall
Coordinates: 55°07′08″N 1°56′28″W / 55.119°N 1.941°W

Capheaton Hall shown within Northumberland
|OS grid reference
Capheaton Hall, near Wallington, Northumberland, is an English country house, the seat of the Swinburne Baronets and the childhood home of the poet Algernon Swinburne. It counts among the principal gentry seats of Northumberland.[1] It is a Grade I listed building.
The house, which was built for Sir John Swinburne, 1st Baronet in 1667-68[2] by Robert Trollope of Newcastle, is a provincial essay in Baroque, of local stone with a giant pilasters on high bases supporting sections of entablature dividing the main front into a wide central bay and flanking bays, under a sloping roof with vernacular flat-footed dormers. The estate was improved with a model farm in Gothic taste, designed by Daniel Garrett for Sir John Swinburne, ca 1746, one of the earliest examples of the Gothic Revival. The north front was rebuilt for Sir John Swinburne, 6th Baronet in 1789-90 by a local architect, William Newton.
The house stands in rolling parkland in the manner of Capability Brown. The naturalistic setting of Sir Edward's Lake south of the house was designated a Site of Nature Conservation Importance in 1983 for the wintering and breeding wildfowl it harbours, as well as the fen and carr vegetation that has developed round its margins.
The linear estate village of Capheaton (population 50), built as a planned model village in the late eighteenth century, is sited on a ridge west of the Hall.
The Capheaton archives are at the Northumberland Record Office.
