Two World title fights and Heavyweight test kick-off May 30 blockbuster
Greg Cohen Promotions (GCP) announces a multi-fight deal with CBS Sports Network to telecast live professional boxing.
By Joe Harrison
It is normally difficult to do this list
Below is my list of today's best boxers in every weight division
Throughout the 20th century, boxing was one of the most popular sports in the United States.
When Danny Garcia defeated Amir Khan by a fourth-round TKO last July, many fans were calling Garcia the best junior welterweight in the world.
Suddenly, after the Lucas Matthysse victory over Ajose Olusegun by a tenth-round TKO, fans everywhere are expecting Lucas to clean out the division.
What if Danny and Lucas did end up facing each other in the near future? Who scores the knockout?
A poll was recently conducted with fans and experts to determine who more people favored, Garcia or Matthysse. The results combined for 300 total votes, so here are the results.
60 (20%) picked Garcia240 (80%) picked Matthysse
The result reveals that most people believe that Matthysse would defeat Garcia.
Those who voted for Lucas said that he would be too strong for Garcia. It was also mentioned that his aggression would be too much for Garcia.
Some of the voters went with Garcia because of his own skills and power.
I would argue that Garcia is more proven. His wins over Morales and Khan far exceed Matthysse's best wins. Actually, while some folks imagine that Lucas will knock everyone out, they may be ignoring his fights against Zab Judah and Devon Alexander. I'm not saying that I believe he deserved to lose those bouts, only that those fights went the distance. In a fight with Danny Garcia, I see the fight going the distance again. Along with that, Garcia would win by a fair decision.

"Randy Johnson from one side, Rivera from the other side. It's hard to face them. The good thing is we got beat by good pitching."
"Last week left a sour taste in our mouth, ... (Defensive coordinator Ron) Rivera told us to be one play better than we were last week. If 11 guys are one play better, that's 11 better plays. That was our goal this week, to come out and dominate. We did that."
"He has better stuff than [the Yankees' Mariano] Rivera. With Rivera, you can put the ball in play. With this guy ... that's one of the few guys that when I'm looking for a slider, I can't hit it. That's the best pitch in the league."
"(Rivera) was going to get the ball even if we were down a run, ... Having the lead was just a bonus."

Bathroom renovation - plumbing relocation
We are in the process of another bathroom renovation (we've done 1 w/2 to go). However, this one needs plumbing relocated. Your input is truly appreciated. I'll be as specific as I am able so you have an "image" of what we have. The current bathroom is long & narrow, 11.6' x 4.8' - we are retaining the same dimensions. The bathroom runs west to east (door on east). The north wall is the divider wall between a bedroom & the bath. The plumbing is on this wall. There was a leak w/the shower, behind the wall and we went through the bedroom to repair. When we opened the wall, we discovered that the tub drain was never correctly attached and the water was flowing under the house (no concrete poured in this section either !!).
We would like to move the tub to the south wall with the showerhead & drain on the west facing wall and the toilet adjacent, just to the north but that will entail moving all drains. Once we gut the entire room, do you recommend that we bring in a professional to move the existing drains or is it something we can tackle? We know that we will have to pour concrete anyway to backfill the area where the original drain was.
I'll try to attach a picture. Thank you in advance -
Image link:
Bigred, you should probably post this at least in the regular forum...not the gallery. Most look here for pictures, not discussions. You may also want to put this over in the plumbing forum.
Personally, I vote for a plumber with this type of stuff. I could probably do it with enough patience, but being in the insurance business I've got plenty of experience with clients with leaks. I also don't find plumbers to be as exhorbitant as people sometimes make them out to be.

I have a question: how precise is the timing measurement in the debug console when it comes to frames?
I am doing extensive testing of some ideas and code related to animations, gaming and Dart and I notice the following strange (imo) behaviour. In timeline in frame I see JS time (orange) and compositing time (in green). Probably it is safe to assume that the timing when using Dartium is actually measuring Dart and not JS, but why would compositing time measures twice as fast on dartium compared to the value is chrome? Compositing does not have many to do with the language VM I think.
If it is a bug in the tooling - how much does it skew the results? If it is not a bug in the tools, how come compositing runs at least twice as fast when run with dart in dartium then in chrome with js while it should have been a separate thing.

It is officially summer in many parts of the world. Even if it isn't summer where you are, there are probably pictures to scrap, some fun to be had, and hopefully at least a few great stories to be told. As I browsed through the brand new Summer Fun Coordinated Collection I found plenty of things to add to my stash. Even if I don't use them now in a scrapbook, I can see them working beautifully on an assortment of craft projects.
At this VERY moment there are 106 individual products just waiting on a creative mind to have you take a peek at each one. This isn't your typical Summer Collection. Each designer followed the same color palette but they were asked to create their portion based on the Summer Theme of their choice. You will find a wide variety of packs to mix and match. Carin Grobe has Summer Fun Bar Codes, ButterflyDsigns has a garden twist, Nibbles Scribbles is geared toward her boys with Backyard Adventures and LouCee Creation has the van packed and ready to head to the beach. You'll find page borders, papers and lots of journaling tags mixed in with mini kits and some darlin' word arts to fully customize your pages. The very best part is EACH PRODUCT IS ONLY $1 for a limited time. Get 'em while they're hot.
Be sure to check the Summer Fun category again before 17/15. There could be some more products added before the deadline.

Cincy, Cleveland Power Ohio Offense
It used to be that Ohio State put a fence around the state of Ohio and would then recruit the rest of the Midwest, going on to snag some top players out of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Pennsylvania. But now schools like Michigan, Purdue and Wisconsin routinely pick up a few prospects out of the Buckeye State, as well. When it is all said and done, though, the majority of the top prospects in the state usually end up in silver and red. Out of Ohio State's seven commitments to this point, six are from Ohio.
In the first segment of our two-part Ohio breakdown, we will be taking a look at the top offensive players in the state of Ohio. We will follow up with the top defensive players later in the week.

Now that the FAA is completing the foundational aspects of NextGen, the agency is working with the aviation industry to deploy more immediate benefits and capabilities produced by Air Traffic Management modernization for commercial and charter airlines and the flying public.
Avionics for NextGen 2015 will bring together key industry stakeholders, including airlines, pilots, air traffic controllers and avionics manufacturers, to discuss their experiences, challenges and solutions with the implementation of these new technologies.
Rudy Kellar
Executive Vice President
Service Delivery
NAV Canada
As Executive Vice President, Service Delivery at NAV CANADA, Rudy Kellar provides leadership and direction for Operations, Technical Operations and Engineering, ensuring effective alignment of these key functions in the provision of safe, efficient and cost effective air traffic services.
Mr. Kellar began his career in aviation in 1982, with Bradley Air Services (now known as First Air) working as a Dispatcher in Resolute Bay. He subsequently held various positions within management, including Senior Director where he played a role in the expansion of the airline into new cargo, passenger, and charter applications.
From 2001-2005, he served as the Chief Executive Officer of Air Contractors, a cargo transport airline based in Dublin, Ireland, leading a successful repositioning of the company into new market segments. He was responsible for implementing the integration of overnight transport for national postal operations in the United Kingdom and France, as well as express carriers such has DHL and FEDEX. These efforts allowed the company to expand its customer base and helped to mitigate the effects of the industry downturn following 9/11. In addition to his duties at Air Contractors, he also served as the Vice Chairman of the Federation of Aerospace Enterprises Ireland, an Irish airline operators group.
Mr. Kellar joined NAV CANADA in October 2005 as General Manager, Edmonton Flight Information Region. In 2007, he was appointed Vice President, Operations, and in this position has led technology and service initiatives such as the introduction of Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (ADS-B) in the airspace over Hudson Bay, and its subsequent expansion into Eastern Canada and Greenland. Under his leadership, NAV CANADA continues to make significant progress in the application of new technologies, procedures and concepts for improving the safety and efficiency of the ANS, while focusing on collaborative initiatives to reduce customer fuel burn and GHG emissions.

A device for freeing an area of birds, insects, or other pests which simultaneously emits two separate audio frequencies which are shifted periodically. The device comprises two separate oscillators whose output signals are mixed together at the input of a power amplifier driving a loud speaker. The frequency of each oscillator can be independently adjusted. A resistive load is placed in the common power supply line of the two oscillators and is periodically shunted in order to shift the frequency of both oscillators. The periodical shunting of the load is accomplished by a SCR switch driven by a third oscillator having a very low frequency. The resulting dual frequency pulsating signal can be adjusted with wide ranges of frequencies in order to deter various types of animals from frequenting the area.
1. A pest repelling apparatus which comprises;
means for simultaneously emitting at least first and second audio signals;
means for simultaneously and periodically shifting the frequency of each of said first and second signals from a base frequency to a lower frequency and vice versa;
wherein said means for simultaneously emitting comprises:
a first oscillator;
a second oscillator;
a power amplifier having its input terminal AC coupled to the outputs of said first and second oscillators; and
a loud speaker driven by the output signal of the amplifier;
said means for simultaneously and periodically shifting frequencies comprise:
a resistive load in series with the supply line of said first and second oscillators; and
means for periodically shunting said resistive load.
2. A pest repelling apparatus which comprises:
means for simultaneously emitting at least first and second audio signals;
means for simultaneously and periodically shifting the frequency of each of said first and second signals from a base frequency to a lower frequency and vice versa;
base frequency setting means affecting only the first audio signal;
base frequency setting means affecting only the second audio signal;
means for simultaneously adjusting the frequency range sweep of said first and second signals;
said means for simultaneously emitting comprising:
a first oscillator;
a second oscillator;
a power amplifier having its input terminal AC coupled to the outputs of said first and second oscillators;
a loud speaker driven by the output signal of the amplifier;
said means for simultaneously and periodically shifting frequencies comprising:
a resistive load in series with the supply line of said first and second oscillators;
means for periodically shunting said resistive load;
wherein said means for shunting comprise:
a third oscillator; and
a current switching device in parallel with said resistive load responsive to the output signal of said third oscillator.
3. The apparatus claimed in claim 2 wherein said third oscillator is a push-pull oscillator; and
said current switching device is a SCR having its gate terminal connected to one of the transistor collectors in said third oscillator.
4. The apparatus claimed in claim 3 wherein the frequencies of said first and second signals are shifted from one to four times per second.
5. The apparatus claimed in claim 3 wherein the first signal has a base frequency adjustable up to 25 kilohertz; and
the second signal has a lower frequency adjustable down to 8 hertz.
It has long been known that animals are sensitive to various audio frequencies within or without the range audible by man. Different species of animals are responsive to signals of widely different frequency ranges. The effects of audio signals on various species are also of widely different types. For instance, certain insects and in particular, moths, may be affected in their ability to fly. Certain animals lose their sense of direction. In the case of mosquitos, it is known that only the egg-laden female needing blood to feed her eggs will bite. Once mated, the female avoids the male. A device sending out a special audio signal which simulates the hum of a male mosquito can be very effective in clearing an area from the blood-thirsty female. Therefore, there is need for a versatile pest repelling apparatus which can be programmed to affect various types of pests by emitting simultaneously different audio signals directed toward different specific species of animals.
The principal object of this invention is to provide a device capable of emitting simultaneously several signals of different frequencies which can be used efficiently to rid an area of different species of pests. Another object of the invention is to provide such a repelling device with adjustable means for setting the desired audio frequencies. A further object of this invention is to provide such device whereby different pulsating signal patterns can be generated. These and other objects are accomplished, according to this invention, by a audio signal generator which includes two oscillators having separately adjustable frequency ranges which can be periodically shifted.
FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram of the device illustrating its basic elements; and
FIG. 2 is the electrical schematic of the novel components of the invention.
Referring now to the drawing, and according to the invention, there is illustrated a multiple audio frequency generator effective in repelling various species of birds, insects and other pests. As more specifically illustrated in the block diagram of FIG. 1, the device comprises two distinct oscillators 3 and 4 whose outputs are combined in a mixer 5 and applied to a power amplifier 6 driving a loud speaker 7. Additional oscillators could be used in parallel with the two illustrated herein in order to create a composite audio signal of more than two components. The two oscillators 3 and 4 have base frequencies which are within the audio range, including frequencies both audible and inaudible to human ears from approximately 8 hertz to about 25 kilohertz. The amplifier may be implemented with any good quality audio amplifier having a substantially flat response within this frequency range, and an output power from one to ten watts according to the size of the area to be ridden of pests. The current supply to the oscillators 3 and 4 is controlled by a modulator 2 which is responsive to the output of a square wave oscillator 1 whose frequency is adjustable from about 1 hertz to 4 hertz. The modulator 2 works in such a way that the current supplied to the oscillators is reduced during the negative phase of the wave form coming out of the oscillator 1.
The two frequency shifting outputs represent more than a mere duplication of effect. The upper frequencies produce a chilling, nerve-jangling effect on birds, although being out of range to the human ear. Properly selected lower frequencies are imitative of a bird in distress, so that the combination of the nerve-jangling upper frequency with the distressful lower frequency is extremely effective for repelling birds. As a result of the reduction in current in both oscillators 3 and 4, their frequencies are shifted down to lower settings then returned to the base frequencies alternately with every half cycle of oscillator 1. The resulting audio coming out of the loud speaker 7 is a composite two tone signal pulsating between two sets of frequencies at the rate set for oscillator 1.
As illustrated in FIG. 2, oscillators 3 and 4 are implemented with two uni-junction transistors Q3 and Q4 delivering a saw-tooth shaped signal on their emitter terminals. The base frequency of each oscillator can be set by trimming the adjustable resistors R8 and R11, respectively. In the mixer 5 the oscillator's outputs are AC coupled through capacitors C5 and C6 to a potentiometer R12. The signal level applied to the amplifier 6 is set by the position of the arm of the potentiometer R12. The current supplied to the oscillators 3 and 4 is run through an adjustable resistor R5 which is shunted by a SCR device Q5. The gate terminal of the SCR is driven by the output of a push-pull oscillator formed by transistors Q1 and Q2. The half cycle periods and the frequency of the oscillator 1 can be adjusted by trimming resistors R4 which constitute the collector loads of transistor Q1 and Q2. During the half period of oscillator 1 when transistor Q2 is cut off, the controlling gate voltage applied to SCR Q5 drops toward zero volts. This, in turn, greatly reduces or completely cuts off the flow of current through Q5. During the second half cycle of oscillator 1 when the transistor Q2 is open, the controlling gate voltage of Q5 is increased and the resulting opening of Q5 effects a virtual shunting of adjustable resistor R5. The resistor R5 is preferably a ten turn potentiometer which allows a fine tuning of the frequency shift imposed on oscillators 3 and 4.
The device can be provided commerically as a small pocket sized unit or a larger table model, and the number of frequencies swept could be more than two. Also, although the disclosed unit is variable in frequencies and sweep rate, commercial units would ordinarily be set at the factory with frequencies and sweep rates tailored specifically to repel particular types of pests, such as dogs, cats, birds or mosquitos.
It will be readily be understood that the various subcomponents of this embodiment could be implemented by other equivalent electronic circuits and that various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention and the scope of the appended claims.

Studies Continue to Tout the Benefits of Fish Oil
03/9/15 0 Comments | Posted by Renew Life in Diet and Nutrition, Digestive Health, Fish Oils, General Health, Heart Health, Mental Health, Oil Supplements, Solutions, Studies
Fish oils have been in the news a lot lately because of their many health benefits. In a recent study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, scientists from the University of Reading in the UK reported that fish-derived Omega-3s were shown to help protect the blood vessels surrounding the heart and may help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.‡
While the American Heart Association and other experts recommend eating oily fish at least twice weekly (mainly those low in mercury such as salmon, sardines, and herring) some people find this difficult, either because they don't cook fish regularly or because they don't like the taste. Purified fish oil supplements may provide a convenient and healthful alternative.‡ When choosing a fish oil supplement, be sure to pay attention to the following key features:
- High potency: Look at how much Omega-3 is in each softgel—not how much fish oil. Choose a supplement that contains at least 1,000 mg Omega-3 per softgel.
- Purity: Look for the IFOS (International Fish Oil Standards™) seal to ensure your fish oil exceeds published international standards for the lowest levels of toxins.
- Freshness: Opt for a supplement packaged in a dark-colored glass bottle designed to protect the oils from light and moisture.
- Enteric coating: Enteric coated softgels help deliver the healthy Omega-3s directly to the intestines where they are absorbed. Lipase (an enzyme) may also be added to help with digestion of the oils.
In addition to their extensively studied heart health benefits*, Omega-3 essential fatty acids from fish—including EPA and DHA—have been shown to support brain, eye, and joint health as well as promote healthy immune function and mood.‡
Curious about how much fish oil you should take and when? Click here for answers!
*Supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA & DHA Omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.
Processed Foods, Inflammation & Weight Gain: What's the Connection?
03/4/15 0 Comments | Posted by Renew Life in Diet and Nutrition, Digestive Health, General Health, Heart Health, Kids Health, Studies, weight loss
Aside from the added sugars and harmful trans fats, scientists from the Institute for Biomedical Services at Georgia State University have found yet another reason to avoid processed foods: common food additives called emulsifiers.
Emulsifiers are used to improve texture and shelf life in a variety of food products from ice cream to salad dressing, but results of a new study involving mice reveal a not-so-appetizing downside. In a nutshell, they may be changing our gut bacteria in a way that promotes inflammation—resulting in an increased risk of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), metabolic syndrome and obesity.
For the study, some of the mice were given a human-equivalent dose of two common emulsifiers used in processed foods (polysorbate 80 and carboxymethylcellulsose), while the others were fed a placebo. Afterward, researchers noted significant changes in the gut bacteria of the mice who received the emulsifiers. The altered bacteria were able to penetrate the intestinal lining and activate certain proteins that trigger an inflammatory response in the body. The results ranged from mild intestinal inflammation to chronic colitis, weight gain and metabolic syndrome.
According to study authors, cases of IBD and metabolic syndrome have risen dramatically since around the 1950s—about the time processed foods became extremely popular. They believe dietary changes may be a key factor, pointing out that food interacts "intimately" with our unique gut bacterial colonies, and the addition of chemicals such as emulsifiers may be causing a rise in inflammatory diseases.

Depending on your particular setup you could either decoct the mash as I do or if able to use a direct fire step being sure to stir constantly so to keep the temperature even, if you really really wanted to you could also do infusions in a 10 gallon cooler but the mash would be super thin and would greatly reduce the amount of sparge water and the ability to rinse the grain well. Also if desired you could add a Sacch. strain as well like 1056 or 001 and co-pitch with the Rosaelare blend.
wow this looks aswesome !!!
got the hulls
Cool !!! Thanks for picking them up this should be a awesome brew day. Your coming over at 7 am still ?
Have you tasted this yet? 3763 was your primary yeast blend right? I've heard that this one in primary can get funky fairly quickly.
no not yet ..... it's at 7 months right now..... it is just starting to form a pellicle and I'm trying to just set it and forget it until May of 2014 which will make it 18 months and then I will taste it.... call me weird if I taste it now and it's great I'll want to bottle and it is way to young still and not fully developed. I have a hard time controlling myself so it's best for me to leave it be. If it tastes like crap that's ok to as I know sours go through this phase and I don't want to worry about it ( I have problems on that side too ) so no tasting notes for quite sometime. I can tell you this much I read wild brews about 3 times and I built this recipe around percentage ranges found in wild brews. So that said it is my recipe my grain bill and balanced to traditional Flanders red specifications. I have very high hopes for this beer I really worked hard and I am optimistic it will turn out great !!
Oh and to answer your question I used the Roselare blend which I do believe is wyeast 3763 and I was strongly recommended by wyeast to use this as the only strain period none of this us-05 first stuff and the 3763 in secondary. Wyeast told me and I have the emails to back this up to treat it like a lambic pitch the yeast and walk away there is no risk of autolysis as the brett will consume the dead yeast and the bacteria needs to stay at the built up concentration so no secondary this will stay on the cake for the full 18 months.
Ok 3 posts in a row sorry I just read through my recipe and there is a misprint #1 this is single stage not two stage and I have a brew belt on it and it stays at a constant 75 degrees inside my fermentation chamber ( repurposed and insulated closet). everything else is correct.
Right on, I'm thinking about doing something similar. Thanks for the info and hope this turns out awesome for ya!!
I will be copying this recipe. I've got a wyeast 3763 packet in my fridge waiting for me.
I will leave out the flaked maize I think though. Do you know how this might effect the beer?
Also I wanted to ask about the oak chips, when are you adding them?

Hang a big pendant?
I hope you can help me, I have 7 foot ceilings, and a large pendant, a countertop table.
How high to hang the light maybe 28 or 30 from table to bottom of light?
Here is a link that might be useful: My light
I found this quite expansive in helping you to get the right height. I, too, had a kitchen with 7' ceilings, but my kitchen itself was very small as well, so I chose a flushmount. I hope this helps as the size of the room, the amount of light, both natural and illuminated, what you want to use the light for, task lighting, mood lighting, etc. will all come into play. But, I say hold it up there or tack it and look at it for a few days to see what looks and feels correct and you will come out the best. One hint, leave extra wire in the wall in case the next homeowner might like it longer or maybe you will in the future, who knows?

Bernard "Buzzy" Hellring was a creator of Ultimate Frisbee. Along with Joel Silver, Hellring created ultimate in the parking lot of Columbia High School in Maplewood, New Jersey. Hellring died in 1971, in an auto accident at Princeton University. He was elected posthumously into the Ultimate Hall of Fame. After his death, funds were raised to fulfill his dream of producing the high school newspaper he edited as an in-house daily, through purchase of a large Heidelberg printing press. This press was sold sometime in the late 1990s as traditional printing arts were replaced by computer-based technologies in the school's curricula.

Teenage boy in critical condition after 3 were shot Wednesday
Three teenage boys were hurt, one critically, after they were shot by two men during an argument in a south Sacramento neighborhood Wednesday.
The incident occurred shortly before 9:44 p.m., when police were called to a shooting in the 7400 block of 29th Street, southwest of Florin Road and Franklin Boulevard.
When officers arrived, they found one victim, a boy in his late teens, who had been shot. He had life-threatening injuries and was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital. Police would not disclose where the youth was being treated but said he was in critical condition Thursday.
While the officers were on scene, they were informed by medical staff that a second shooting victim, another teenage boy, had shown up at the hospital. He is expected to survive his injuries.
As investigators began interviewing witnesses, they found a third victim, a boy in his late teens, in the area. He had also been struck by gunfire, and was taken by police to the hospital. He had non-life-threatening injuries.
The initial investigation revealed that the three victims were with several other teens. The group was approached by two males, reportedly adults, on foot.
An argument between the teens and the men escalated into violence, when the two men shot at the victims. They then fled on foot.
Detectives are interviewing witnesses to determine what led to the shooting. It was not clear whether any of the victims lived in the area, what the teens were doing before the confrontation, or what the argument was about.
One of the shooting victims reported the incident to the police. "The first call came from someone who was shot," said Doug Morse, spokesman for Sacramento police. "It was the first call we received."
Police are still trying to talk to more witnesses, and putting together a description of the two men.
If anyone has information on this incident, call Sacramento police dispatch at (916) 264-5471 or Crime Alert at (916) 443-4357.
Tips can also be texted to 274637 (CRIMES), enter SACTIP, followed by the tip information. Callers can be anonymous, and may be eligible for a reward up to $1,000.

Acacia dealbata help
snakemanjimApril 22, 2009
I've got about a 12 foot a. dealbata that for the most part got freeze-dried this winter. Yesterday I did the scratch test on the bottom 2 inches of the trunk & there is clear & unmistakable green live tissue down there. The rest of the tree is dead & even starting to split in places.
My question is, can I just leave it as is & let it do it's own thing or will I need to cut it down to the live part in order to get it to regrow?
Thanks in advance!

Daytrip to the 6 desert castles of ancient Khorezm
After almost 2 weeks of visiting the nonetheless impressive and beautiful buildings in the 3 Silk Road cities, a day trip into the desert was a welome change. The Kizilkum desert in the northern part of Uzbekistan is were these ancient castles emerged between the 7the century BC and the 12th century BC. Some of them were merely ruins, but we did manage to climb on high remaints of mudbrick walls. A very nice day out. We loved it! ...

After 30 minutes we approached the tall city walls around Ichon Qala and the Ferris wheel.

We were planning on finding a hotel in Nukus to stay in before we found out rooms were about US$50 which was well above our $10 budget. Our taxi driver ended up suggesting a yurt camp in the desert we could stay in and combine it with an extra tour to three fortresses ...

Long-blooming tulips?
Hi everyone!
New to the forum, and to gardening! I would love to plant some tulip bulbs this fall. Any suggestions as to which varieties bloom the longest? I have read that species tulips and Kaufmanniana tulips have nice bloom periods, but beyond that, I am pretty clueless! Any advice would be wonderful!
Well, it's all going to depend on weather. The earlier tulips do last longer, overall, because the odds of a hot spell hitting that will decrease the bloom life to as short as 24-48 hours are lower. This year, however, our freaky March bout of 80s and 90s popped the earliest tulips out and made those, as well as crocus and other early bulbs, last only a few days. But that is not the norm. Generally it is the latest varieties to bloom, such as the Giant Darwins, the Single Lates, the Lily flowered, and the Parrots that can be done in by a spring heat wave.
What you really want to do is have varieties from different classes so that you have a continuum of bloom across the entire tulip season from very early to very late. My Greigii and Kaufmanniana do tend to be the very first to bloom, while Queen of the Night, a dark purple/black late tulip, is the absolute last one in my garden.
Kaufmannii, Fosteriana and Griegii tulips are similar in style and substance to hybrid tulips such as early and late singles, lily-flowered, viridiflora and so on. Most of the other species tulips do tend to be both smaller and more ephemeral (but very beautiful, especially the lady tulips, T,clusiana and the batalini type with lovely glaucous foliage). Another thing to consider is where you are growing tulips and whether they are likely to return every year. Species tulips do tend to be perennial, even when grown in containers whereas hybrid tulips really need to be planted deeply in the open ground to have any chance of returning the following year. In truth, there are other considerations as well but you can, by planting carefully, have tulips of one sort or another, in bloom for at least 2 months and sometimes longer if you plant lily-flowered tulips or, the very latest to bloom T.sprengeri (an expensive treasure).
Wow, I have so much to learn! Hopefully I will gain more knowledge with experience! I appreciate all the help, though.
I have selected a few varieties that I am considering, purely from looking at pictures and bloom times:
��* little beauty (species)
��* tarda (species)
��*�ollioules (Darwin hybrid)
��* Pink Impression (Darwin hybrid)
This is just as a start, as I don't want to start out with too much and be in over my head! Am I thinking in the right direction, or am I totally off course?
I think you're on the right track, but I'm not a big fan of t. Tarda. (kinda leafy and not so showy IMO). Also ollioules and pink impression are similar in bloom time and color, I'd just pick one ( I love pink impression).... Some later tulips could be either a parrot type tulip or one of the single late types such as hocus pocus or temple of beauty (tall and huge flowers!)
Nothing wrong with just going by the pictures and bloom time, just take a look at height too.... Something like little beauty really is little, just a few inches tall :)

"Now that list has a very healthy number of women on it each year and really helps to highlight the role women play in IT in the UK."
Dame Wendy Hall
The most influential women in UK IT 2014
The truth is that there is no quick fix to the shortage of women working within the technology sector. The issue needs to be tackled at a grassroots level, starting with changing the perspective that IT is a man's world. The fact that men dominate the IT industry means that they actually play an important role in getting more women working in IT.
In recent times, the numbers are improving, slowly but surely, yet we are a long way off making the industry more diverse and reflective of today's modern society.
Over half of UK women working in IT believe females do not occupy enough senior positions in their company, a recent report has found. The technology industry is facing a skills crisis, and both male and female IT professionals are in a prime position to encourage more people of all ages and both sexes into the sector.
In Computer Weekly's forth annual event for women in IT, we hear from women and men who are making a difference to the digital economy and how they have been successful in recruiting skills from a more diverse base onto their teams so far.
Ladies – why not bring a male colleague along with you too, who knows what they might learn…

The WW&S Team
Elaine Honig
Elaine is an entrepreneur-at-heart who thrives on creating brands, building businesses and helping nonprofits raise money and awareness. A native Oklahoman with an Economics degree from Tufts University, she put herself through college renting apartments to fellow students, doing all the repairs and basic remodeling herself. After college, she headed to San Francisco to pursue a real estate project. While she was there, she met and married Michael Honig, and left real estate to help him grow the fledgling Honig Wine brand. For 21 years, she marketed, branded, communicated and sold Honig Wine, helping it to grow from garage roots to a highly-regarded, nationally recognized Napa Valley brand. Elaine dreamt up Wine Women & Shoes as a fundraiser for a Napa Valley non-profit agency and a marketing opportunity for Honig wines (a marvelous win-win). The formula proved irresistible: One event quickly turned into ten, and Elaine devoted herself wholeheartedly to the feel-good, do-good mission of WW&S.
Sarah Obialero
As they say, "if the shoe fits, wear it," and Sarah is our glass slipper. She has graphics, wine, event, and luxury retail experience, all rolled into one super cute package. Originally from Ithaca, NY (her love of wine began in NY wine country), Sarah began her marketing career designing graphics and promotional materials for Ithaca's Hangar Theatre. In 2004, she made the cross-country journey to join her then-boyfriend/now husband in San Diego, where she landed herself a position with In Motion Events as the in-house graphic designer and assisted with the production of large-scale events like Komen's Race for the Cure.
Allie Olcese
Allie attended the Art Institute in Sacramento studying graphic design. She knew graphic design was the perfect career path for her when she found herself constantly fascinated by logos, packaging and labels on wine bottles and marketing materials in particular. After graduating and receiving her degree in graphic design she left her hometown of Sacramento and moved to Santa Rosa. Who knew at that exact time WW&S® was looking for another person to add to their team. Allie grew up doing volunteer work, has loved shoes since the time she could walk, and doesn't mind a good glass of wine. Needless to say the shoe fit perfectly and she couldn't be happier to be a part of the WW&S® team.
Jessica Thornton
Some people were born for this business, and Jessica is one of those superstars. Raised by her private celebrity chef mother, she was distilled at an early age with a unique appreciation for great food, fine wines & giving back to those in need. Originally from Lake Tahoe, Jessica followed her bliss to Napa Valley after majoring in Public Relations at ASU and working in the events world, planning & executing VIP events & concerts. More recently, you may recognize Jessica from her time spent building winery relations for the glitzy Napa Valley Film Festival or the annual oh-so-hip Bottle Rock festival. When she's not working on our amazing charity-partners behalf, cultivating winery partnerships, you can find her planning her next traveling adventure. Africa, Europe & Iceland have already made her 'hit' list…I wonder what continent we'll find her sipping wine in next..!?
Alexis Gularte
Alexis believes "Too much of anything is bad, but too much champagne is just right". Couple this philosophy with a love of shoes since birth, it's no wonder Alexis found her way onto the Wine Women & Shoes team. Family is the most important thing to this 3rd generation Napa local, but a close second is rooting for her favorite sports teams. 49ers, SF Giants & the Golden State Warriors top the list. When she's not working hard to put the 'Wine' in Wine Women & Shoes, you can find her sewing, baking, reading and running.
Alexis ran the Napa marathon in 2010 and holds a bachelors degree in Psychology with an emphasis in Social Psychology. She spent her summers & winters growing up in Lake Tahoe, which she calls her 2nd home. Cheers, Alexis!
Kimberly Miller
A professed shoe addict, Kimberly brings her extensive experience in fashion design, public relations, special events and journalism to WW&S®. After cutting her teeth in the fashion industry at Gap, Inc., Kimberly worked for St. John Knits, Macy's West, and landed the coveted position of San Francisco Editor for Daily Candy, Inc., where she launched a career in journalism freelancing for media outlets such as Town & Country, American Express Publishing, Conde Nast and Haute Living.
Heather Frank
Heather Frank was born into a family that embraces community service, and lives by the motto: "No matter how much you have, there's always someone you can help." So it was natural that she would choose education after achieving her Masters in Administration. For three years, she taught first grade, while giving significant time and efforts to philanthropic endeavors, including Habitat for Humanity, Ronald McDonald House, American Cancer Society, Fight for Life, and CASA. After having her boys, Graysen and Gavin, she left teaching, and dedicated herself to CASA, chairing both the 2012 and 2013 CASA's Wine, Women & Shoes fundraisers. In 2013, Heather brought in more than $120,000 in Sponsorship for the CASA's Wine, Women & Shoes event. We marveled at her sales skills! So when she expressed an interest in joining the WW&S team, we jumped at the opportunity to have her come aboard as our resident Sponsorship expert.
Heather Pennella
Project Manager
Heather Pennella brings her love of community service, marketing and project management to the Wine Women & Shoes team. This small town girl comes with a love of traveling the world, enjoying the outdoors and history. When she graduated from Cal State Northridge with a degree in history she skipped the typical class ring and went for class shoes...Malolos, of course! Heather has volunteered 100s of hours of her time to support many local non-profits in Bakersfield, such as Red Cross, American Cancer Society and the Greater Bakersfield Chamber of Commerce. This gal is no stranger to our mission, as she has been involved with the Wine Women & Shoes event in Bakersfield for the past three years in support of CASA of Kern County, helping to raise over $200,000 for neglected and abused children in the area. During her time with Buck Owens Production Company, this country girl at heart was selected as one of 25 women in the country to attend the Radio Advertising Bureau's "Rising Through the Ranks" class of 2012 for sales and management training. Heather also brings management experience and event planning skills to the team.
This native California girl loves to cook, BBQ, sip good wine and entertain her family and friends. She was raised by amazing parents, and her and her brother were shown by example on how to love and to give back to the world in positive ways.
Patricia Peterson
Born in San Francisco & raised in Sonoma Valley, this wine country gal has been an events pro since she graduated with a degree in International Relations and an emphasis is Socio-Economics & Politics from UCSB. Patricia has managed events for global brands such as Red Bull Energy Drink, Nesquik, Justin Bieber's Someday & the Napa Valley Film Festival. Being born with boots made for walking, she has called Santa Barbara, San Francisco, Santa Cruz, Napa, Austin, Texas & Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia all home at one point or another in her professional life.
Celia Carey Meyer
For 17 years, Celia's humanitarian interests materialized in her film work for PBS, National Geographic, BBC, Outside and Discovery. After years of world travel--from the streets of London to Andean and Arctic villages, and former plantations of Alabama--Celia settled in Napa Valley with her vintner husband, Sean. In 2010 they welcomed a daughter, Vivienne. Celia found that (with the exception of Brangelina) globetrotting and long hours of filmmaking don't mesh well with childrearing. She decided to redirect her skills locally, and joined Wine, Women & Shoes, which enables her to use her experience to assist meaningful projects, while spending quality time with her family.
Awards for Celia's film work include eight Emmys, a CINE Golden Eagle Special Jury Award, and a major grant from the NEA. She holds an M.S. from Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism, and has contributed photos and articles to Outside; Scientific American; and Elle; and written a newspaper column entitled I Married a Wine Snob.

Which pond pump to use?
Ok. So I'm thinking of installing this pond pump in my newly built koi pond which is around 1000 gallons big.
It's cheap and looks good but my only concern is that it's a little different from other type of pond pumps that are available online. I live in a third world country and getting the normal ones shipped over here are damn expensive. So one of my options is to use this kind of a pump. What do you guys think? Will this work? Any advice is appreciated.
Brother, unless electric is really cheap where you live, 400Watts will quickly eat up the initial savings of buying a cheap pump that's not designed for continuous use (that's why it has that float switch - that pump is designed as an intermittent duty sump pump and will typically overheat when run continuously and last a little over a year). In contrast to the direct drive you refer to, a typical magnetic drive pump of the same size but lower head will draw around 250 Watts, run continuously for many years and be cheaply rebuildable. A more expensive asynchronous magnetic drive, also called hybrid magnetic drive, will draw 200Watts or less. To take advantage of the savings make sure your tubing is 1 to 2 sizes LARGER than the discharge of the pump, to minimize friction losses and get every drop you're paying for. My advice would be to figure your running costs first, then take another look at the initial price. Happy Ponding! D
I have both the Eco Plus (4000gal) and Cyclone Alpine (8000gal), I push water 50ft up a hill, so both will be probably an overkill. Eco Plus has some small pumps, just understand what you need to push first, width of waterfalls etc. I use the Eco during the winter and the Cyclone during the summer.
Check out Amazon as well as eBay, Amazon has better returns if you need to sometimes, depending on the vendor, so read the return policies etc.
Here is a link that might be useful: Cyclone Alpine 8000Gal
I've used Pondmaster Pumps by Danner mfg for many years with great success. On my large pond (3500 gal) I've been running a 2400GPH pump non-stop for over 10 years.

Here's a great blog post written by my friend, Glenna Jenkins, detailing Ernest Hemingway's views on writing. Tons of advice for writers from a master of the craft.
Hemingway on writing
Library Writers Weekend
Yesterday, at the Calgary Public Library's Writers' weekend I got lots of comments about my T-shirt.
The truth is I rarely base my characters on people I know. Honest.
Those rare times I do, the character becomes so changed from the original that he or she is no longer that person.
Crime Writers Blog Post
Thanks to my new role as a Crime Writers of Canada Prairie Region director, the CWC invited me to write a guest blog for their Crime Time newsletter's From Sea to Sea column. Scroll down the newsletter for my take on the topic Boomer Lit: A Booming Market?
Wine & Cheese at the Library
Friday was a fun evening at Fish Creek Library's annual Wine and Cheese event, featuring wine samples sponsored by Willow Park Wines & Spirits, cheese provided by Springbank Cheese, paintings and photography by local artists and readings by Calgary writers. This year, I was thrilled to be invited to read, along with Fran Porter and Rosemary Nixon, this fall's Calgary Public Library writer-in-residence.
Close to 200 people attended. A large number brought their wine into the reading room. They seemed to enjoy the readings and asked lots of interesting questions. Many thanks to the Fish Creek librarians for including me in their event. I hope to attend next year to listen to other readers, while sampling some tasty wines and cheeses.
Me and word I wouldn't want to forget
In support of Alzheimer's Awareness Month (September) and Sheryl Gordon's book project in support of Alzheimer's Disease.
When Words Collide
I spent this past weekend at Calgary's When Words Collide Writing Conference. As always, it was inspiring, informative, exhausting and fun. Already, plans are underway for next year's event. I've registered already. Three days of full programing for $45 is a price that can't be beat.
WWC Contest panel
At When Words Collide next weekend I'll be on a panel of judges for the conference's annual short story contest. We'll discuss the ten stories that made the finals and announce the winners. The panel takes place at the Carriage House Inn, Calgary, at 11:00 AM. Judging a writing contest was quite an experience. I plan to blog about it after the conference.
Boomer Lit Panel
On Sunday, August 10, 3:00 PM I'll be on a panel at When Words Collide writing conference titled Boomer Lit – An Overlooked Market – Romance, Mystery, and More. Boomers created the YA market when they swept through their teens. Today there are over 83 million baby boomers in North America. Here comes Boomer Lit. Boomers have time to read and money to buy books, but what do they want?
Are they seeking protagonists who are boomers and problems relevant to boomers? Do they want action, sex, mystery?
Join me and my fellow panelists Brenda Collins, Ilonka Halsband, Eileen Bell and Mahrie G. Reid (Moderator) for a lively discussion and revelations about this growing market.
Boomer Lit
On Sunday, August 10, I'll be sitting on a panel about Baby Boomer Literature at Calgary's When Words Collide Writing Conference. In anticipation of the event, the panel moderator, Mahrie Glab Reid, invited me to write a guest blog post for her website. Mahrie gave my piece the catchy title: What if Trixie Beldon Turned Fifty?
Thanks, Mahrie, for this opportunity and for making me see there might be such a market as Boomer Lit.
A wedding, baseball and kindred spirit
I'm back from a terrific trip to Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Ontario. The highlight was my son's wedding on June 13 in Toronto. The day was wonderful from start to finish and filled with memorable moments for a loving mom.
After the wedding and associated festivities, Will and I spent time visiting friends in the area. Knowing that Will is a baseball fan, our Kitchener friends suggested a day trip to St. Mary's to visit the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. I confess, before this I hadn't known that either St. Mary's or the Canadian Hall existed.
As it happened, this was the day before induction weekend. Former players and announcers were due to arrive that night for some exhibition innings. Unfortunately, we couldn't stay for that, but we were able to tour the hall, an old home packed with Expos, Blue Jays and other baseball memorabilia. Now I know what a home plate looks like.
Our enthusiastic guide through the museum was Kevin Glew, a writer working part time at the museum this summer. Kevin and I traded business cards and writing stories. You never know where you'll find a kindred spirit. Canadian baseball fans will want to check out Kevin's website.

HP TouchPad backorders shipping in 6 to 8 weeks
HP sent an email to customers today, informing them of a 6- to 8-week wait for the backordered HP TouchPad tablets. The tablet has been sold out at retailers and on HP's website after the $99 fire sale that followed HP's announcement of discontinuing WebOS. Many customers that ordered through HP at the fire sale pricing are still waiting for the device as HP plans one last production run.
