Got these shoes for myself in 10
"I usually wear a women's 11M, and I didn't want to chance it so I went into my local DSW to try these on. I think the actual size conversion would be a 9.5 Men's from an 11M Women's, but with those, I could feel the steel plate cut over the top of me toes. So, I got a 10 Men's!And woah. These are the most comfortable shoes I own. I love them. I mean, don't get me wrong, I got them because I work in the wood shop, but even if I didn't I would still get these shoes. They're so darn comfy.Now I've only had them about a week, but they're holding up nicely. And I actually tapped the steel toe against a metal wall bracer and BANG. It was loud.Overall, I highly recommend these! Just try them on first to get the right size and comfort."

By-election will expose Coalition
Last updated at 17:01, Wednesday, 20 February 2013
THE Eastleigh by-election, prompted by the resignation of the disgraced former energy secretary Chris Huhne, will be a fascinating barometer of the current political mood.
For instance, it throws light on the state of the Coalition government, which is proving yet again how disunited it is, despite the two leaders' public affirmations of harmony and respect.
If the coalition were truly working together, they would have put their political differences aside and united behind one candidate (presumably a Lib-Dem) in order to maintain a united front against the opposition.
And there we have another interesting, and deeply unedifying, snapshot of contemporary politics.
The Labour party are fielding the satirical author John O'Farrell who, in a best-selling book of 1998 entitled Things Can Only Get Better (a book I bought and read at the time), expressed his regret that the IRA had failed to murder Margaret Thatcher in the 1984 Brighton Bombing.
Now, whatever anyone's views on Margaret Thatcher, it does not reflect at all well on the Labour party to field a candidate who has expressed so publicly such extreme views – however "satirical" he may claim them to be.
As a committed Labour activist for many years, there can be little doubt that Mr O'Farrell's comments were rooted in his true beliefs. This is, after all, the same person who has also publicly stated that he wished Britain had lost the Falklands War.
What sort of outcry would there be if the Conservative party installed a candidate who had clearly stated support for terrorism and their regret that more people hadn't been killed in a terrorist bombing outrage on home soil? Because that is what O'Farrell, who has the full support of Ed Miliband, has unequivocally done.
Lord (Norman) Tebbit, whose wife was grievously injured and left paralysed for life in the outrage, has asked this week if Mr O'Farrell's disappointment that Mrs Thatcher survived the bomb was "eased by the deaths of five other people and the injuries incurred by John Wakeham and my wife".
There is an increasingly prevalent mindset among the so-called "liberal left" (who are often, in fact, anything but liberal, as Mr O'Farrell so nastily illustrates) which believes that vicious attacks on those to the right of centre politically are acceptable and morally justified.
Gratuitously nasty and hastily retracted comments placed on social media sites are one thing. People say offensive and ill-judged things in the heat of the moment which they later live to regret (think Sally Bercow, currently being sued for allegedly libellous comments on Twitter).
Publishing pro-terrorist sentiments in a book – and stating regret over the survival of a democratically-elected leader – is quite another. There's nothing spur-of-the-moment about it.
The most surprising aspect of all this is that so very little public opprobrium has come the way of Mr O'Farrell. Indeed, the leader of Her Majesty's Opposition, Ed Miliband, was too busy this week campaigning for Mr O'Farrell in Eastleigh to have anything whatsoever to say on the matter.

FTC-Googlegate Scandal Repercussions in EU & U.S.Submitted by Scott Cleland on Fri, 2015-03-20 04:00
Previously unknown facts about the FTC staff's 2011 Google search bias investigation have the makings of a potential scandal and cover-up with broad repercussions for Google with the European Commission, other countries, the FTC, State AGs and Congress.
The WSJ gained inadvertent access to the FTC's 2011 staff report about its investigation of Google's search practices. FTC staff concluded: Google abused its monopoly power in search and search advertising; harmed Internet users and competitors; and manipulated its search results by favoring its own content over competitors' content.

Fact-checking Google Schmidt's "Ich bin ein Big-fibber" Berlin SpeechSubmitted by Scott Cleland on Tue, 2014-10-14 22:30
History should remember Google Chairman Eric Schmidt's speech in Berlin, "The New Gründergeist," as the "Ich bin ein Bigfibber" speech, because of his many big fibs about Google's antitrust and data protection problems in Europe.
Claim: "Really, our biggest search competitor is Amazon" (not Bing or Yahoo.)
Facts: Google crawls 60 trillion unique URLs to create its search index of the world-wide-web; Amazon does not crawl or search index the world-wide-web.

Are Google Glass' Recordings Illegal Wiretapping Too? -- Part 19 Google Spying SeriesSubmitted by Scott Cleland on Mon, 2013-12-09 10:17
Google Glass' easy eavesdropping on people may be illegal wiretapping.
Two courts already have ruled in different class actions that Google can be sued for illegal wiretapping for "interceptions" of personal information without meaningful consent -- in circumstances analogous to how Google Glass operates.
First, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals recently ruled that wiretap law prohibits the type of transmission "interception" that Google StreetView cars' did in secretly collecting personal information from unencrypted home WiFi networks.

Help starting Lupines from seed!
Hello All,
Two years back I ordered six Lupine plants through a mail order catalog. They came out amazing so much so that my neighbor raves over them! So when they went to seed last year I harvested them and sent some to her and kept some for myself. When I was moving dead leaves away from the garden I saw that some Lupine plants had rotted over the winter. Alas I have the seeds but when and how should I start them?
Thanks in advance,
I grew a bunch of Lupines last year from seed. The variety I grew was Lupines Perennis so my experience is limited to that type.
In my experience, and from what I read, they need periods of cold in order to germinate. They are great for winter sowing, which is the method I used. I don't know if its too late to do that in your zone as I'm not sure how long a period they need in freezing temperatures. Mine were out all winter.
If its too late for that, you can nick the shells of the seeds prior to planting them. That will help mimick the natural process created by cold/warm temperatures.
Its okay to grow them in planters, but once you place them in your garden they can be difficult to transplant as they have a long tap root. I moved some in the fall, small plants that had tap roots that were over 10" long.
Good luck!
The l. lepidus, l. perennis are really the only two out of many that require the extended moist chill, none of the annual types or the perennial hybrids most often offered by nurseries as garden plants require it...
SKRS, do you remember a name or part of a name, it would be easy enough to check for you and see which type. Nick, followed by pouring hot water over and allowing to soak several hours or overnight is about all the pretreatment any of those except the two mentioned above will need.
Well the plants I have are listed as Mixed Dwarf Lupines or Lupinus Russell Hybrids. They came back last spring after I planted them in 2009, two plants actually have several leaves right now (yay). It's pretty cold here again it's possible we could get frost. Last week it went into the 50's and in couple nights it was in the teens!
I find Dwarf Mixed in one place by one vendor as being l. regalis, another as l. polyphyllus but - no matter as they both are sown the same, and same as the Russell Hybrids
Pour hot water over seeds, let soak 1-3 days until swelling noticeable. (Nicking the seed coat if your seeds are large enough to easily handle may help them to absorb water faster but not required) Sow at 68F for germination in more than two weeks.
You could wait until your soil warms, soak and sow outdoors, or soak and start them inside now, transplant carefully later trying not to disturb the roots any more than you must.

If Turkey continues successfully down this path, it will be as strategically significant for the balance of power in the region as the emergence of Iran as a preeminent power thanks to the collapse of the Soviet Union and the later destruction of Sunni dominance in Iraq by the US invasion.
In recent months, a spate of new agreements have been signed by Turkey with Iraq, Iran, and Syria that suggest a nascent commonality of political vision. A new treaty with Armenia further signals how seriously Ankara means its "zero problem" good-neighbor policy.
More important, however, the agreements with Iraq, Iran, and Syria reflect a joint economic interest. The "northern tier" of Middle Eastern states are poised to become the principal supplier of natural gas to central Europe once the Nabucco pipeline is completed – thus not only displacing Russia in that role but gradually eclipsing the primacy of Saudi Arabia as a geostrategic kingpin due to its oil reserves.
Taken together with the economic stagnation and succession crisis that has incapacitated Egypt, it is clear that the so-called moderate "southern tier" Middle Eastern states that have been so central to American policies in the region are becoming a weak and unreliable link indeed.

The bumpy, cracked sidewalks in this town are a major hazard! My son broke his shoulder on one and the city refused to pay his medical and surgical costs! it is a huge problem for people trying to walk anywhere, to the point that many people, especially older folks, can be seen walking in the street because it is actually safer, in spite of the cars!

My new adeniums
I couldn't help myself... I bought more seeds online and two more plants from a Nursey out in the Redlands.
Take a look.
The second one (taller, single stemmed). Is it a grafted one.
Maybe just my eyes and the photo taken straight down from above, there seems that the terminal stem has quite an abrupt change in size from that of the base?
May look different from profile view?
HI Marie - Thanks for the pruning tips! Should I cut it about six inches from the base?
HI Rick - I thought so too. But it doesn't have a cut line. ill post a closer picture of it's caudex.Tell me what you think. Thank you!
It does not look that it is a grafted plant, just what I was seeing in other photo.
I am not an expert at pruning, but it looks as though this plant could use a pruning when the time is right. I would say definitely above the small lateral branches that are close to base.
Marie, would give good advice as she is very experienced in pruning.
From what I have seen, the pruning is very subjective, depending on the structure of plant you are after.
I like the compact and full look of the pruned ones.
You have some nice plants.
Id prune it just above that little branch sticking out on the side...so by that ruler at about 4 inches...When you prune those branches should grow alot bigger and faster too. Does it have some sort of fungus or mould on its leaves? Just looking at the top picture it looks like it has some spots on the leaves...?
Pruning above the little branch would be good, but I would look to see what internodes there are and make sure you leave a few alternately around the stem so that you possibly get some branching happening symetricaly around the lateral stem.
Probably going to have an interesting caudex under the soil, when raise down the road.
Most of the Adeniums caudex's we see above actually grow subquitaneously under the soil and we expose by lifting.
Rick, Sarah, Marie...Thank you All! I really appreciate your help and guidance.
Several of the top leaves were damaged and discolored when i purchased them. Most have fallen off now. The remaining top leaves (2 or 3) seem to be ok. My fingers are crossed but I'll keep an eye on them.
Thank you!
You betcha! I'm getting better at identifying DRs. Most of them are in pots but I do see them in the ground. I discovered a neighbor that 5 or 6 huge ones in a flower bed adjacent his home. Simply beautiful. I haven't the courage to approach him.
Hi there!
What a nice DR with blooms all over! I love it! Thank you for sharing. I've heard that DRs can bloom all year round but honestly, I haven't paid attention. Mine has 6-8 blooms on it now. I've noticed that they come in clusters but the blooms are too big and seem to fall off early. Is this normal?

I can't speak for Covert Ops but I do have a copy of it's fantasy counterpart: Barebones Fantasy RPG. From what I can see on the store page and the preview it looks like they use the same system. For one there are no traditional classes instead you have skills that represent those classes, such as Warrior, Spellcaster or Scholar (Fantasy examples). It's also a d% system. It looks like they have added some stuff, like the martial arts maneuvers and a luck point style mechanic.
I'll have to pick up a copy at some point.

A cheese board can be an easy and impressive entertaining option for parties, but intimidating if you're new to the game. To smooth the path to success, we got the lowdown on party dos (and don'ts!) from our own super-savvy specialty food expert, Ken Blanchette.
With holidays coming up, I decided to put together three easy and cheesy bites, including this goat cheese and apple tartlet, to help alleviate the stress and prep of holiday entertaining. Click the pic to check 'em out.
Citrus fruits make healthy snacks during the cold winter months. In this easy recipe, we used extra-sweet tangerine segments and added decadent chocolate and salty pistachios to kick them up a notch. They're a fun dessert to prepare with your kids and make a great party snack!
Good things come in small packages, right?
Recently, our bakery department launched a new mini dessert category, featuring bite-sized versions of some of our favorite sugary treats—brownies, cookies, macaroons, banana bread…
The mini sizes are great in lunch boxes, as an after-school treat, or as a moderate way to have a sweet fix after dinner without going overboard.
They also make party planning easy—get a pack of blondies, some double chocolate chunk cookies and assorted macaroons and make your own little party platter. (We also have our own mini platter coming soon—for the nights when you don't have time to do it yourself.)
If you're entertaining kids or a crowd with a sweet tooth, here are 3 fun mini dessert ideas:…

Do you prefer to dine in or go out? There are so many great brunch places in NYC, but sometimes, it's just nice to have a casual affair at home instead.
Recently, I decided to have some friends over for brunch. It was wonderful – no long waits and we could stay and chat as long as we wanted.
I wasn't sure what to make so I checked out President's Picks for inspiration. I can be notoriously indecisive so sometimes I just go to President's Picks and make decisions for what I want to cook based on what's on sale for the week. That particular week had our Wild Patagonian Red Shrimp on sale. I knew our seafood guys had just come back from checking out these shrimp in Patagonia and had mentioned how wonderfully fresh and rich they were so I had to order them. Plus, it helped me decide on serving shrimp and grits (polenta) for a Southern-style brunch….
Are you getting together with family and friends for Easter or Passover? If so, we've put together some fun recipes to enjoy before or after your Easter egg hunt (decorated deviled eggs) or at the Seder table (tuna boats).
For Easter, how about decorating eggs – on the inside? With our "Mild Mannered Deviled Eggs" recipe below, you and the kids can have fun making bunnies, funny faces, and more. If you don't mind colored egg whites, you can even use up your excess Easter eggs.
Keep this activity child-safe by having the adults do the knife work while the kids can have fun piping the yolk mixture into the egg halves, applying the decorations, and using floss or thread to 'cut' the egg in half. …

Getting your circle of movie critics together for the Academy Awards and secretly nervous you won't make the nominees for best host this year? Don't worry, we've got your back.
First – you'll need a printable ballot listing all the nominees. You can find one on here: http://oscar.go.com/nominees
Next, you'll need some sort of prize. You could ask each guest who wants to participate to donate $5 toward a potluck prize – then whoever gets the most answers correct on their ballot wins the loot. Make sure to task someone with writing down all the right answers! Other prizes? You could find a small statue and make the winner give their own speech to receive their "golden" token but a gift certificate or a box of chocolates, work fine too.
Selecting your food is really easy with FreshDirect's catering platters. Just click and unwrap, leave the messy prep work and schlepping of heavy drinks to us. Whether you're looking for sophisticated appetizers or tasty finger foods, we've got it, ready to roll.

Laissez les bons temps rouler! (Let the good times roll!) February 21st marks Mardi Gras this year, but those who embrace the Carnival season celebrate from mid-January until midnight on the "Fat Tuesday" prior to Ash Wednesday… the dawn of Lent.
For me, I fell in love with New Orleans through her food. From spicy gumbo to addictive sweet beignets, there was so much to enjoy!
Mardi Gras is a great excuse to enjoy a Southern-style dinner, with N'awlins-inspired cuisine on the plate and a breezy cocktail in the glass. Here are some recipes to help you bring a touch of New Orleans to your table!…

Jason Vargas SP KC 24 hours ago
Vargas was rattled once again in Monday's Cactus League matchup with the Rangers, allowing five earned runs on seven hits and a walk over five innings pitched.
It was the third time this spring that Vargas has allowed five or more runs, as the 32-year-old veteran seems to be backing his way into the season's opening week. He admitted after Monday's game that he had difficulty getting ahead in counts, describing this aspect as "the cause of most problems," per the Kansas City Star. Although the left-hander has a rotation spot locked down, owners outside of deeper and AL-only formats may want to temper expectations.
Jason Vargas SP KC 6 months ago
Vargas will start Game 4 of the ALCS against the Orioles on Wednesday, Andy McCullough of the Kansas City Star reports.
Manager Ned Yost wants to get James Shields and Yordano Ventura some extra rest, so he'll turn to Vargas, who gave up two runs on three hits over six innings against the Angels in Game 1 of the ALDS. The skipper admitted his decision might have been different if his team wasn't already up 2-0 in the series.
Jason Vargas SP KC 6 months ago
Royals manager Ned Yost said Vargas will "probably" start Game 4 of the ALCS against the Orioles on Tuesday, Andy McCullough of the Kansas City Star reports.
Vargas gave up a pair of homers in Game 1 of the ALDS, after posting a 6.57 ERA in his final five starts of the regular season, but Yost will stick with him in the rotation and keep fellow lefty Danny Duffy as the long man out of the bullpen. The Game 4 start will come at Kauffman Stadium, where Vargas has a 4.53 ERA and .289 BAA this season.
Jason Vargas SP KC 6 months ago
Vargas will start Game 1 of the ALDS against the Angels on Thursday, Andy McCullough of the Kansas City Star reports.
The decision to use Yordano Ventura in relief during Tuesday's AL Wild Card game effectively cemented Vargas in as the probable Game 1 starter for Kansas City. While Vargas has posted respectable overall numbers this season, he struggled in September (6.57 ERA), and gave up seven runs on 12 hits over 10.1 innings in his two starts against the AL West champion Angels during the regular season.
Jason Vargas SP KC 6 months ago
Vargas gave up four runs on four hits over four innings in a no-decision against Cleveland on Wednesday.
The Tribe plated the eventual game-winning run against Brandon Finnegan in the fifth inning, keeping the slim playoff hopes alive for Cleveland and pulling the Royals further away from overtaking the Tigers in the AL Central race. Vargas seems unlikely to start the Wild Card Game next week if the Royals fall short of winning the division, as the rotation order will likely be shuffled to optimize matchups.
Jason Vargas SP KC 6 months ago
Vargas was rocked for five runs on nine hits, he did not walk a batter, and struck out one while lasting just 3.1 innings in a 10-1 loss to the Tigers on Friday night.
The Tigers were roaring against Vargas (11-10, 3.59 ERA) and continued the onslaught against the Royals' bullpen after he departed. Vargas has struggled of late, and with Kansas City involved in a hotly-contested playoff race, he's going to need to step up in his final start against the White Sox in Chicago.
Jason Vargas SP KC 7 months ago
Vargas gave up four runs on six hits and three walks with six strikeouts in 5.1 innings Tuesday against the Tigers.
He took the loss for the third time in his last four starts, but this was the first time he failed to make it out of the sixth inning over that stretch. Barring a wild collapse, Vargas should finish the year with an ERA under 3.50 and a WHIP under 1.30, which is about as good as anyone who drafted him at the start of the season could have hoped for. He'll never be a major strikeout threat, but guys who can approach 200 innings with a sub-3.50 ERA don't grow on trees. His next outing is Sunday against the Red Sox.
Jason Vargas SP KC 7 months ago
Vargas hurled 6.2 shutout innings Wednesday, scattering six hits with no walks and five strikeouts in a 4-1 win over the Rangers.
Vargas was fantastic Wednesday, allowing less than a baserunner per inning to help the Royals sweep the Rangers. The right-hander improves to 11-7 on the season with a 3.14 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 112:34 K:BB ratio in 169 innings. Vargas takes the hill Tuesday in Detroit.
Jason Vargas SP KC 7 months ago
Vargas labored through six innings Friday night, allowing four earned runs on 10 hits while striking out five in a loss to the Indians.
Vargas was knocked around for the second straight outing Friday night, as the veteran hurler has now given up 21 hits over his last 12 innings. Despite an abundance of base runners, the crafty southpaw has somewhat limited the damage, allowing just seven runs (six earned) over the same span. Overall, Vargas has put up an impressive campaign for the first place Royals and will be back on the bump Wednesday versus the Rangers.
Jason Vargas SP KC 7 months ago
Vargas surrendered 11 hits and three runs (two earned) in a losing decision against the Rangers on Sunday. He had three strikeouts and four walks.
Vargas entered Sunday's start on a roll, having allowed only three earned runs over his previous 21 innings. However, the southpaw struggled with his location against Texas and paid for it. Vargas will next take the bump on Friday against Cleveland.

4 teens arrested in shooting of Calif. teacher
According to the Fresno Bee, Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer identified the suspects as 17 and 16-year-old Norteno gang members
Associated Press
FRESNO (Calif.) — Police have arrested four teenage boys in the shooting of a Central California high school teacher who fought back during an attempted robbery at the school.
Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer announced the arrests on Tuesday. According to the Fresno Bee, he identified the suspects as 17 and 16-year-old Norteno gang members.
Police have said the teens were armed with a handgun and a sawed-off shotgun when they confronted Edison High School teacher Steven Guerrero in a classroom around 7 p.m. Thursday.
Guerrero allowed the group to take a computer but then fought back after one of the teens allegedly struck him with a free weight. He was shot in the stomach and leg, but survived.
Dyer said the shooter was a student at Edison and has confessed.

About this location
The Sicily region
"Having visited Italy without seeing Sicily is like not having seen Italy at all, for Sicily is the key to everything". (Goethe)
Sicily, a beautiful island located in the Mediterranean Sea, with its rich natural heritage, represents one of the most interesting tourist destinations. Sun, blue sea, and beaches, are the natural attractions of a place full of history and culture, celebrated throughout the centuries by writers and poets, who have spread its fame from ancient times up to the present.
Sicily is a fascinating mixture of different races following each other over the centuries: Carthaginians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Byzantines, Turks, Goths, Spaniards and French. Such dominations have left their mark on the island's history and architecture as well as on Sicily's traditions and gastronomy. In fact, religious festivals, monuments and regional dishes testify that the island is a crucible of different civilizations.
It will be a fabulous holiday, as in a dream.
Sciacca Terme is an ancient and peaceful town with its thermal baths and is one of the oldest towns in Sicily. Set on the edge of the Mediterranean Sea, Sciacca is a fishing port which has remained untouched by mass tourism. The real heart of the town centre is steeped in history and ancient architecture of Moorish, and baroque style, picturesque alleyways and courtyards. A labyrinth of houses and streets, some of which can be narrow enough to fit only a single person at a time.
Artistic works of notable interest especially of the medieval and baroque peiods are conserved here. Sciacca's fame in modern times comes from her renowned hydromineral resources and to the famous Monte San Calogero natural vapour and sweat grottoes.
In addition to the enchanting landscapes, the rugged beauty of an indented coastline, to the sandy beach and to the luminosity of sea Sciacca has also a gentle healthy cliamte which makes it an ideal place for health cures, for holidays and for tourism.

I have a seven year history with El Primer Paso. I first learned of them through my involvement with Kiwanis. Then I became a Board member. My children "grew up" there, and when the second one officially graduated from preschool, I felt like I was graduating too. I cannot say enough good things about El Primer Paso. From the Board to the staff to the volunteers and community supporters that make everything possible at this school, every moment spent here was a gift. Thank you. I recommend this school to every young child I know. My children are thriving students today because of the start they had at El Primer Paso.

Sawtooth Riesling 2011
Riesling from Idaho, Other US
Winemaker's Notes
Tantalizing, crisp citrus fruit aromas lead to a juicy merriment of pineapple and peach on the palate. The sweetness is balanced by a nice acidic finish.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Enthusiast - "Spicy and substantial, this authoritative Riesling snaps into tight focus around apple and melon flavors. Hints of clove and ginger add complexity. "
Sawtooth Winery
View all Sawtooth Wines
About IdahoAn inland state, Idaho has some of the highest altitude vineyards in the United States. With wide fluctuation between night and day temperatures, grapes here are harvested with both high acidities and high sugars, making Riesling especially successful. Other cool climate varieities like Pinot Noir and Chardonnay also thrive. Ste Chappelle dominates the state's industry and is the fifth largest in the Pacific Northwest.
About Other USEvery state in the United States makes wine. That's not to say that every wine is good, nor is every wine made from grapes. Hawaii ferments pineapples, while Connecticut makes wines from their well-known berry farms. But almost every state has at least one vineyard trying to make wine from grapes. Those who are most successful, beyond California, Washington, Oregon and New York are:
VirginiaWine in Virginia has come a long way since Thomas Jefferson unsuccessfully planted vinifera grapes at his home in Monticello. Our third president, known as the first American wine connoisseur, spent a good amount of time touring vineyards in France, hoping he could replicate the vineyards in Virginia. May not have been successful 200 years ago, but today, the Commonwealth of Virginia is home to over 150 wineries.
Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon are the most widely planted white and red grapes. Other success stories include Cabernet Franc, which does very well on Virginia soil, producing wines that are ripe and round, snuffing out the vegetal tendencies of this varietal. Viognier may be the next big white, making some lovely aromatic, yet dry, white wines.
New MexicoChampagne region after all), Gruet is now a nationally recognized wine. The wines are delicious and one of the best deals in sparkling wine. The family makes a range of wines - from the ethereal and efferevesant blanc de blancs to the more full-bodied blanc-de-noir to the slightly sweet demi-sec.
New Mexico is now home to nineteen wineries. While none are as large as Gruet, more winemakers are realizing that the warm day and cool night combination in the state has great potential for great wine.Other states worth trying include North Carolina, Texas, Ohio, Idaho and Michigan.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.

Funeral upsets Petersons; Rochas ask to be left alone
Tension between the Rocha and Peterson families flared Tuesday over last week's funeral for Laci Peterson and her unborn son.
After a hearing in Scott Peterson's double-murder case, his parents said they were devastated that they were not told in advance about the funeral for their daughter-in-law and their grandson, Conner.
Laci Peterson's family invited more than 200 family members and friends. Lee and Jackie Peterson were not among them.
"If 250 people can attend, surely there's room for the grandparents of the baby," Lee Peterson said outside Stanislaus County Superior Court. "I would just have wished to have been there and had a chance to see them find their rest together and bring some finality to it."
Jackie Peterson called the situation hurtful. "My thoughts were that Laci would have been so upset about it (ignoring Scott's family)."
Adam Stewart, an attorney representing the Rocha family, said they did not want the Petersons at the funeral.
"There is no etiquette for the circumstances we're confronted with here. We don't feel it was appropriate for them to be invited or present (at the funeral)."
Earlier last week, Jackie Peterson sent an e-mail to Laci's mother, Sharon Rocha, urging her to delay any services.
"We are writing with an appeal to your heart," Peterson wrote in the e-mail, a copy of which The Bee obtained.
"Though by law, you are granted the decision on how to handle the remains of all our loved ones, we ask you to postpone the service until such time as Scott is exonerated and we all join together as a family to mourn your daughter, Scott's wife, our and your grandson, and Scott's son who has been taken from all of us so cruelly."
In a response, Stewart asked the Petersons to stop attempting to contact the Rochas. "The family wishes to be left alone during this difficult time," he wrote.
Tuesday, Stewart described the relationship between the families as "very raw."
"Sharon is very distraught and upset," he said.
He suggested that the Petersons could have attended the public memorial service May 4, on what would have been Laci Peterson's 28th birthday.
Stewart also noted that Jackie Peterson's e-mail to Sharon Rocha and his response were provided to a television station before Tuesday's hearing.
"(Sharon Rocha) is very upset that two days after the funeral that she would release these e-mails to the news media," Stewart said. "Was she really concerned about being there? Was she more concerned about eliciting sympathy for her son?"
The rift between the families last surfaced in May when Laci Peterson's family sought access to her and Scott's Covena Avenue home, and eventually entered without permission from Scott Peterson's parents.
Rocha family members and friends loaded up trucks with belongings and furniture, such as a rocking chair, while media and police looked on.

potted tree source online
I am looking to see if anyone has a suggestion for a good source for container grown fruit trees online. In particular I'm looking for peaches and plums. Did notice Tierra Madre had some apples and pears listed that looked interesting. Any suggestions for stone fruit?
These guys do potted only.
Here is a link that might be useful: Rolling River Nursery
I'll second Rolling River- they are great. I've ordered from them 4 times, though I haven't gotten any stone fruit from them yet. But, in my most recent order, I do have a Harko nectarine (reputed to be brown rot resistant) arriving on Tuesday.
Another place to consider is Just Fruit and Exotics. They sell southern peaches and plums, many of which could work for you in zone 8. I got a persimion and a jujube from them last fall and was pleased.
Ditto Rolling River, I was able to find a Bloomsweet Grapefruit there, they're the only Calif growers of this particular (Texas/Gulf Coast) variety. As well as Tierra Madre. Almost all of my rare heirloom pears came from Tierra Madre, and they all were in excellent shape.

A shootout victory
After stuffing one penalty kick in Detroit Lakes' second round playoff game, Laker junior goalie Courtney Gray figured she was done with those point-blank shots every goaltender loathes.
Boy, was she wrong.
Gray had to see five more penalty shots in Thursday's shootout against visiting No. 3 Bemidji, with the junior goalkeeper saving two, to ensure a 4-3 Laker victory to help DL advance to the Section 8-1A semifinals Tuesday.

small tuberous begonias from seed--allow dormancy?
Hi folks!
I usually start tuberous begonias from seed, but this year all of my seedlings were exceptionally small. (I still don't know what happened, but that's another story!) Anyway, I have 8-10 tiny baby tuberous begonias that have just started blooming. I doubt they have much of a tuber yet, so I'm thinking about trying to keep them growing. Has anyone done that? One of them is the most gorgeous pale yellow, and I'd really like to keep it.
I am wondering where you live that you still l have blooming tuberhybrida. If your lighting system is good you can carry them/it over there but you will need the lights on more than 12 hours, they need long days to resist going dormant, and thet tuber, if any is produced, will be small. I thihk the commercial growers leave seedlings in their big growing fields for 2 or three years or more, not disturbing growth = I think that is how they have such large ones for sake,
so when do you bring your begonias in? at what temps?
we're getting 40F at nite now, my non-stops are still blooming outside without any sun at all. i read that they will continue to bloom until frost. but i actually want to bring them indoors to see if they'll continue to grow and may be even overwinter.
i don't want the foliage to decline. can they stand mid to hi 30s?
I don't know how they stand the mid-thirties. I start letting mine dry out about Labor Day.Some growing instructions used to say 'lay the pot on its side', I could never figure that out, thought it might be some form of tropism. . .However I finally ran across some instructions which said 'lay the pot on its side so the fall rains can't get in and start regrowth', Oh that was so funny, I never would have figured that out because we don't have much fall rain. Well, we all have different environments which is why figuring out how to do things can be frustrating.
