privacy screen HELP!
My lovely country/cottage garden style yard and porch has one major flaw. The junky view we see of our neighbor's porch. We can't sit on our porch and enjoy it without having a horrible view of a neighbor's junked up porch, as well as hot, full afternoon sun coming in as well. We really preferred to use a living privacy screen and opted to plant an evergreen shrub called cleyera, because it was supposed to grow tall quickly. Or so we thought. After a year, it has grown wider ever so slightly but not any taller. Our porch is about 3 and a half feet above the ground level, so any live screen is going to need to be a quick grower that gets at least 7-9 feet tall at maturity. HELP! I have posted a photo that shows our little cleyera and how tall it is next to our porch. Not nearly tall or wide enough yet to block the eyesore from next-door!
Here is the view I am trying to block. So disgusting to look out from your beautiful porch and see junk and clutter all over the porch next-door. Need to cover this view ASAP! We want to sit on our porch and enjoy the hard work we have incorporated into our yard.
One idea would be to put a trellis up on the end of your porch, and then plant a suitable vine/plant to climb it. I used to have a Lady Banks rose on the end of my porch and it completely filled the lattice...and then some. It only blooms once a year in mid-late April, but it's glorious then. There are lots of plants that would work...better than a shrub, I'd think [imho]. Good Luck!
i don't think putting a trellis on porch would work well because the porch itself is at least three and a half feet off the ground level. So whatever we put on the trellis would have to grow almost four feet tall to even be at the bottom of the trellis, and that would do nothing to block our view. Also, anything that climbs is not going to be evergreen and that means we would have this same privacy issue again in the winter when the plants dies back. That's why I wanted an evergreen, large, fast growing shrub. Maybe I could hang a hanging basket of a sun loving
fern above that to fill in until the shrub gets taller.
So I am pretty dead set on a shrub at this point, any suggestions for one that is evergreen and gets tall quickly? It can't get more than 14 ft tall at maturity or it will grow into the eaves of the house.
Tried cleyera, as it was tagged as being fast to moderate in growth, but have found that to be untrue.
Perhaps if you set some eyehooks in the roof beam you can hang potted plants at different heights. Don't know if ferns would love the hard afternoon sun but there are plenty of other choices.
You might want to put a tilted shield under the pots so they drain off the porch.
That cleyera will do fine so long as you keep it well watered this summer and fall.
They get taller in spots where they only get AM sun and have to reach for the afternoon rays. In three years you won't need so many of those hanging pots and when they are finished blooming maybe hang a faux stain glass panel.
Get creative.
Does this side of your house get at least 4-5 hours of sun? Your cleyera looks healthy and esh is right, it may just still be young. Give it another year. Mine have to be trimmed every year. They are on the south side and I planted them for the height against a tall back wall of our house. They really took off but they do get a lot of sun.
Don't know if you will see this post or not, or if you bought something for that side
of the porch for privacy yet, but, if you didn't, POT that shrub up in a nice big pot and put it at the edge of your porch where you see the neighbors, it will create privacy instantly.
Those shrubs do VERY well in pots, some people use them as houseplants.
Put it right where you can't see the view.
Instant privacy.
Sorry about this post, it's the new site and it's different from the old one.

Ruth Rosen: Are Male Baby Boomers Doomed To Become Lonely Seniors?
It's not just the young in the Occupy Movement who fear for their futures. Many older people, who are marching with them, dread retirement, even if they hate their jobs. They fear social isolation, the loss of friends they enjoyed at work and the freedom of too much unstructured time. The good news is that women are already preparing for what is often called the "third chapter" of their lives. What's sad is that men of the same age, for a variety of reasons, are largely unprepared and less likely to participate in activities that offer stimulation and friendship....
They are re-creating opportunities to explore their lives and finding ways to resurrect the world of women's groups that gave them the confidence to reinvent their lives decades ago....
So what are men doing? Some male (and female) intellectuals, scholars and writers joke that they don't retire. And they're partially right. But for men whose work was yoked to organizations, corporations, manufacturing, unions, and other institutions, the future often seems suddenly empty. Some play golf or cards or hunt with other guys; and there are groups of men who get together at a particular café, sometimes daily. Some take up cooking or gardening, and enjoy the domestic pleasures they never had time for before. But all too many sit home alone and experience too much social isolation. All too often, they depend on their wives to provide companionship....
Instead, many suffer in silence. Their isolation is terribly sad, as well as an immense waste to society. Yet there are other ways men could counter the isolation of retirement. They have endless talents and could be tutoring young people in after-school programs in academic subjects and sports. I recently visited a high school where men were doing exactly that, tutoring kids in computer skills, math and science, and passing on their knowledge of how to build and sail boats, fix old cars, use tools, and write applications. Their faces glowed with excitement as they passed on their expertise....

Where Should the Bedroom Door Be Placed?
bostonhomeAugust 18, 2009
I've gutted my old Victorian-era house and basically started over. Feels like I'm building a new house. I am stuck on three options for the back of the house. There are two ways to place the bedroom door and IÂm not sure which one would be better. Which of the three plans is optimal?
Option 1 - Prefer when the door is away from the laundry closet, but it feels strange to have three doors against one bedroom wall.
Option 2 - Solves the 3-doors-on-same-wall problem. But would this make moving furniture into the bedroom more difficult?
Option 3 - Nice compromise, but I lose space inside my laundry closet.

I wasn't in the mood to spent ANY money today on anything...
but the nice marketing person at Beales' sent me a message about 50% off some selected roses... for a limited time.. while stocks last.. you know the drill. Click and 45 pounds disappeared down the internet line and (about half of it for P&P mind you) and I will be expecting my bareroot Aloha, Alchymist and Macmillan Nurse any day now... None of them an OGR but the first two quite historic I suppose. I hope they're worth it. I know next to nothing about the Beales rose, just thought I may have better luck on a cream 'english' rose, a DA lookalike this time. Maybe someone in here knows more about Macmillan Nurse?
This post was edited by nikthegreek on Fri, Jan 31, 14 at 11:42
funny how mood can change so quickly at the mention of a rose sale.
it's good to know I'm not the only one that finally broke down and bought Alchymist this year, partly because of such incredibly
beautiful, plump sunrise colored blossom photos and comments on Help Me Find.
I've never heard of Macmillan nurse, have to take a virtual stroll to Beales.
Nik, have a look at Trevor Whites roses - they are MUCH cheaper than Beales....and absolutely outstanding - the best bare-roots I have ever seen in 20 years of rose shopping. Huge, vigorous, impossibly healthy roses... and they ship to the EU.
Macmillan Nurse - yep, this is always on show at the nursery - although it does not make my heart beat any faster (I have no love at all for full petals with no stamens), it is a perfectly innocuous little rose - fairly stiff and thorny, nicely scented and colour varies from a creamy colour with the odd blush, to white. Probably make a good bedding rose as it stays a nicely compact, tight shape. I vaguely recall it doesn't die terribly well (the sin of many white full petalled roses) but it has a fairly good repeat right through till almost Xmas.
Thanks Camps. I was thinking if it could replace a rose in a pot which will have to go in the ground this year. Linda, I've seen Alchymist in 'person', it's not often I can say this for a rose I buy, and he's wonderful even though he's once flowering.
This post was edited by nikthegreek on Fri, Jan 31, 14 at 13:59
Checked Trevor White's. Prices almost half of top dollar sorry pound ones. They ship to the EU (EC they still call it, oh the British..imo it's not a real union and it certainly is not a community..). Will try them next season. Wish I'd never left the UK despite the weather. Or do I? Thanks Camps,
Noooooo, you really don't (want to be in England). The wettest winter in over 100 years (and we are only halfway through) - horrible, horrible. This is a nightmare - we can't get out to work without wrecking the ground. Everything is either under water or in mud and slush....and it's grey and cold. I yearn for a crisp bright day. My greenhouse is rank, mildewy and I know there are going to be losses to botrytis, pythiums, rotting cotyledons......
Always, life takes its chances......i planted 2,000 narcissi and several hundred bluebells and wood anemones last autumn. The leaves are up and looking enormous. I swear, twice as big as anything at home. 50 years of fallow woodland, deep leaf litter.....the soil is deep, rich and friable, yet has perfect drainage. The bluebells are also sending up deep green rosettes of leaves and I am finding stray snowdrops too. There are 100 or so common primroses growing away at home, ready to go in the ground in a month or so and signs of P.wilsonii and P.secundiflora just about showing in the coldframes (I have craved primula for a hundred years).
My meconopsis seeds arrived in the post and my knitting is growing by the day.
Macmillan Nurse will be perfect in a pot.
By the way, Nik, do you ever look at Italian rose nurseries? There are one or two I can recommend, the prices are probably better than in Great Britain, and it's closer.
You have my sympathies for your awful weather, which sounds likes ours x 10, but I must say the soil sounds incredible. I saw soil like that once in Italy, around a marshy lake in the neighborhood of Viareggio, in Tuscany. The stuff was as brown and crumbly as cocoa, and looked nearly as edible. And everything grew in it. Once you get past this dreadful weather you'll be in heaven.
My experimental handful of bulbs shows no signs of sprouting.
Nik, I had that e-mail from Peter Beales too and I thought noooo! please don't tempt me. I have no more room.
I like the photo of Macmillan Nurse too, although, I have never seen it in person.
As well as the OGRs, Trevor White also does a selection of the Delbard roses. They are supposed to be good in a warm climate.
Campanula, please, please, please, take loads of photos of your bulbs when they flower. 2000 narcissus sound wonderful. Because my garden is so small, my narcissus are in 10s and 20s.
Hi Melissa,
I've had bad experience in the past with Italian and French (and some German) nurseries due to the language barrier despite me having a rudimentary knowledge of German and a basic understanding of Italian and at least being able to navigate and make sense of a German or Italian language site. Also many of them do not ship abroad or have complicated processes for ordering.
If you know of any in Italy that pass these tests and stock more than the usual HT's etc, I would like to hear about them.
I have promised myself not to patronise any provider who only provides a site in his native language because I know I'll be asking for trouble and I know he does not really welcome foreign business. I can excuse the British because their language is the de facto lingua franca of commerce but that's it.
I have no particular inclination to help with the British balance of payments, it is just that communication is easy and both them and the Dutch providers seem to have mastered better the art of internet selling.
PS I can recall of one particular German nursery specializing in OGRs with, apparently, good reputation regarding their plants, who explicitly state on their site that they expect communication by phone or fax only and they check their email only once in a blue moon... And that was written in German!

I got my bachelor's degree from a university in England. I also got my master's from another over there. I even worked there for a couple of years. Stayed for about 6 years in total. I decided to leave after a horrible winter since I found myself doing what the Brits do when they see the sun coming out after a horrible season, that is lying on the green and look at the blue sky as if they're seeing a UFO. That was back in the 80s, a most depressing period in the UK I should add. Still, with hindsight, I cannot help but wonder if that was one of the many mistakes I've done in my life.
It's true - we are desperate for the sun.......we immediately flock to a public park, get down to our vests and stretch out like basking sharks (in March, if we get a chance). I am old enough to recall liberty bodices - sort of felted undergarments which we wore from November through to Easter.
Melissa, the soil, when I get to it, is truly remarkable....the only thing is the acres of ivy crossing and recrossing every inch of ground.....along with the vicious brambles (although mulching head of the brushcutter is sorting that). Oh yeah, those nettles which cover every inch between the ivy vines.........it's going to be a long job.....but as soon as the spade cuts through the top layer of vine and root, it sinks into the earth like a huge downy pillow - tantalisingly out of reach but there still, waiting for many hands to start the ivy pulling and rakeover (off again later today and taking my boys (men) to help.
Nik, we are all turning our eyes east to Europe these days and shivering in the chill winds of emerging fascism. We have 2 strands of this in the UK - the crazy but delusional UKIP (no immigrants...and a whole slew of other, less publicised goals) and the horrific coalition of thugs and hate-mongers which comprises the EDL and assorted racist bullies.Truly hope all is well for you and yours.
Daisy, I surely will take pics....but 2500, while it sounds a lot, is actually hardly anything when spread around 5 acres. With an eye to establishing colonies, the bulbs have been planted in groups of 100 or so, spread around the woodland - it will be a start but I expect to be waiting at least 5 years before we really have something worth looking at.

How to Install Indoor-Outdoor Carpet
Deck out a screened-in porch with these simple instructions.
Indoor-outdoor carpet is perfect for enclosed porches because it's resistant to mildew and stains. It's a much better choice than standard indoor carpet for giving your porch a finished look, and installation is easy.
To figure out how much carpet to buy, measure the length and width of your room, add 6 inches to each measurement, and multiply the two numbers. Here's how to install it:
Materials and Tools:
indoor-outdoor carpet
measuring tape
utility knife with extra blades
double-sided tape or adhesive and a trowel, depending on where you install the carpet
1. Clear everything out of the area you're going to carpet, and make sure the floor is clean and smooth.
2. Outline the edges of the room with double-sided tape, and use the tape to make "X" marks (about 6 by 6 inches) about every 2 feet on the floor. Leave the backing on the "up" side of the tape.
3. Lay the carpet in place, centering it in the room so that you have some excess on every side.
4. Fold the carpet back halfway and remove the backing from the tape in the exposed area of the floor. Note: If you want a really snug fit along the walls, leave the backing on the tape around the perimeter of the room (not on the X's). This will allow you to make minor adjustments to the size of the carpet until the last minute.
5. Replace the carpet in that area and press down firmly so the carpet sticks to the tape.
6. Fold back the other half of the carpet and repeat the process in that area.
7. Smooth the carpet down toward and along the walls. Use a straightedge to push the carpet into the corners.
8. Trim away the excess carpet with a utility knife. You might have to make several passes with the knife, and be sure to use a very sharp blade for a clean cut.
9. To trim the carpet around any corners or doorjambs to get a good fit, press the carpet firmly against the bottom of whatever you're working around, and cut from each end of the obstacle upward toward the center of it, making an upside-down "V." Fold down the sides and trim away the center of the "V" like you did the other edges in the room.
10. Walk along the perimeter of the room and tamp the carpet edges into place on the tape with your feet.

According to a review board, Detroit's municipal pension fund made payments over the years to retirees, active workers and others above and beyond normal benefits. This "easy street" for some spelled disaster to this once proud American city, costing Detroit billions of dollars - finally pushing it over the edge into bankruptcy.

Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)

Published in U.S.
Keywords: Detroit, pension, overpayments, report, bankruptcy
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The not publicly disclosed payments included bonuses to retirees, supplements to workers that had not yet retired and cash to the families of workers who died before becoming eligible to collect a pension.
These allegations are according to reports by an outside actuary and other people intimately knowledgeable.
The amount received by each recipient has not been divulged. But available records suggest that the trustees approving the payments did not discriminate; nearly everybody in the plan received them. Most of the trustees on Detroit's two pension boards represent organized labor, and for years they could outvote anyone who challenged the payments.
Detroit's auditor general and inspector general have been examining the pension system for possible fraud or misfeasance since June. The report is expected this week. The report is expected to determine how much negative impact the over payments had.
"It was like dandelions," Joseph Harris, who served as Detroit's independent auditor general from 1995 to 2005 says. "You just accept them. They were there, something you've seen all your life."
When asked on what legal authority the trustees made the payments, Harris said, "My understanding was, it had to be approved by City Council, and council was under the belief that the money was there - that the pension funds were earning the money - with the consideration that in bad times the city would be making up the difference. I hate to say that. Ultimately the fund has to be funded by the taxpayers."
Tina Bassett, a spokeswoman for Detroit's pension trustees said she thought the outside actuary's analysis, which concluded that the extra payments had cost the city nearly $2 billion over 23 years, was "not being fully straight with what happened."
"People were having a hard time, living hand-to-mouth, and we thought we would give them some extra," Bassett said.
Of all the non-pension payments, Bassett said, 54 percent went to active workers, 14 percent went to retirees and 32 percent went to the city, which used its share to lower its annual contributions to the fund.
The excess payments were often made near the end of the year, when recipients needed money for the holidays, or for winter heating.
In a just legal system, the government officials who paid out the "stolen" funds, should be prosecuted and placed in prison. These so-called "public servants" have created an separate class. They should all be voted out. Those who believed they were above the law should be sent to tiny rooms with barred windows for a very, very long time.

This power point is designed by your EOP Advisors to help you understand how your financial aid applies to your educational expenses and living expenses. A typical Financial Aid offer includes a variety of grants, loans and Federal Work Study which total what the average student needs each year for everything. 1: My Financial Award WHAT IS MY ESTIMATED TOTAL BUDGET? This is an estimate of what the "average" student spends per school year. It includes some estimated expenses you can reduce or eliminate so you don't really need the full amount estimated for the "average" student. No one will send you a bill for the 'estimated total budget.' It's NOT a bill you owe; it's NOT a promise of money to you. Bills you owe to SSU for fees (and dorms if you live on campus) are deducted from your financial aid, so it's your job to make sure your award is not held up by an incomplete FAFSA or by missing To Do List documents needed by SSU Financial Aid Office. Ask if you need help. Log on to MY SSU and view your To Do List at least once a week! 2012-13 Cost of Attendance Also referred to as the Student Budget, Cost of Attendance is a standard estimated total of an average student's expenses for the school year, Fall and Spring semesters. (CSU fees are subject to change by the Board of Trustees. In the past, students with a State University Grant saw their SUG increase to cover state mandated fee increases.) Cost Item: At Home: On Campus: Off Campus: Registration $7,546 $7,546 $7,546 charges Books & Supplies $1,754 $1,754 $1,754 $9,412- Food & Housing $4,400 $12,540 by $12,402 dorm room Transportation $1,482 $1,378 $1,444 Personal & Misc. $3,288 $3,096 $3,054 TOTALS: $18,470 $25,015 $26,200 2: Grants & Scholarships WHAT ARE GRANTS? -Money for school expenses you don't have to pay back -Come from your FAFSA results -From meeting FAFSA deadlines, and -From promptly turning in documents requested on your MY SSU To Do List. HOW DO I APPLY FOR GRANTS? -Submit FAFSA every January by using income estimates -Correct your FAFSA with real figures asap WHAT ARE SCHOLARSHIPS? -Money for school expenses you don't have to pay back -Scholarships & grants are resources to pay for school -SSU Scholarship deadline is January 15 3: Resources Grants & Scholarships vs. Bills You Owe SSU for the year 1. ADD up all your resources: Grants from your financial aid award and any Scholarships you received -Do not include Federal Work Study; it is not a grant -Do not include Loan offers at this point 2. ADD up all the bills you owe to Sonoma for the year -Registration charges everyone owes -Cost of dorm & meal plan if living on campus (You choose the dorm and some cost more than others.) 3. SUBTRACT the smaller amount of 1 or 2 above from the larger to determine if you still owe money to SSU after your financial aid resources are applied or if you will receive a remainder check to help pay other expenses. 4. Considering Loans If I Live ON campus? -If there is gap between your resources & what you owe SSU, you may need to consider a loan… If I live OFF campus? -If your remainder check, after SSU fees are deducted from your financial aid, isn't enough to pay rent, food, etc. for the semester, you may need to consider a loan Your EOP advisor will explain options: -Perkins and Subsidized loans are more desirable than Un-Subsidized or PLUS loans -Ask Financial Aid the steps to follow to take a loan -Don't take a loan until you are sure you really need one. 5: Other Expenses Resources vs Bills Owed to SSU model addresses the biggest school expenses of tuition, food and housing but does not include money for books, entertainment, transportation, clothing, cell phone, etc. WORKING Part Time is one solution for other expenses: -Most EOP students work during the school year -Part time is the key to academic success, 10-20 hrs/week -No one guarantees you a job -Begin job search right away while at Summer Bridge -This is where Federal Work Study (FWS) comes in as explained on the next slide -This year you must "accept" your FWS award online - - Unlike a grant, no one gives you the amount on your FWS offer. You only get what you earn if you find a campus job. Federal Work Study FWS benefits students who work part-time on campus: -Increases your chances of finding a campus job -Allows you to earn whatever hourly wage that job pays -You can earn up to amount of your award If your job offers you enough hours Future Benefit of FWS employment: -FWS wages are taxable income on the FAFSA but won't count against you in next year's FAFSA assessment If you earn too much at a non-FWS job, you may hurt your eligibility for some grants the next year FWS earnings are not for "fun extras" but to pay for things like car expenses, toilet paper, cell phone, etc. since all your grants usually go to the bills owed to SSU. 6: Making College Affordable Reduce expenses & need less $ than the average student: TAKE ADVANTAGE OF: -Free campus events to reduce your entertainment budget -Wear what you have to reduce your clothing budget -Use email more & consider cell phone expenses carefully AVOID: -Going home often to reduce your transportation budget USE: -Meal plan you paid for instead of spending extra on food -Free services like Tutoring, Health Center, computer labs Save $300-$600 over summer for books. Be sure before you buy & open a book that you really need that book. Consider sharing. What does all this mean? That depends on your living situation: 1) Living off campus with family, or 2) Living off campus on your own, or 3) Living on campus & which dorm room you choose Most EOP students find the Residential Suite Doubles fit best with their available financial aid grants without loans. Some "Living/Learning" communities are alternatives to the EOP Academy and require you to live in particular dorms. Ask what dorms are required for any program you are considering, whether it removes you from the EOP Academy, and the dorm cost before you decide what's best for you. Your grants will not increase to cover a higher cost dorm. EOP Academy is a Freshman "Academic Cohort" focused on the success and shared experiences of EOP students whatever their major. DO YOU HAVE OTHER ASSETS? Your individual situation will vary if you have savings, scholarships, or family funds to apply to your needs. Living On Campus COST for Freshmen: Academic Year: 2012-2013 Year Rate 1. Residential Suite Double $ 9,412 2. Cabernet Double $10,140 3. Sauvignon Double $10,756 4. Residential Suite Single $11,194 5. Sauvignon Single $12,540 The above costs include your meals. All first year college students who live in the dorms are required to be on a pre-paid meal plan for their entire first year at SSU. "First year college students" includes students who have recently graduated from high school and are enrolling at SSU for the first time. Off Campus with Family BUDGET: You will owe only Registration fees to SSU You are likely (not guaranteed) to receive a check after registration fees are deducted from your financial aid award Check should help with expenses like transportation, food, clothing, books, etc. Budgeting is in your hands… Some will need a part time job Off Campus on Your Own BUDGET: You will owe only Registration Fees to SSU You are likely (not guaranteed) to receive a check after registration fees are deducted from your financial aid award You have to budget $ for the semester to pay rent, food, garbage, lights, water, phone, transportation, etc. Budgeting is in your hands and your check is unlikely to cover all expenses A part-time job will be critical for most living off campus on their own and a campus FWS job is preferable And you may need to consider a loan Living On Campus BUDGET: Most or all of your grant aid is likely to be absorbed by registration fees, dorm & meal plan deduction Most won't get a significant remainder check to budget But you have less to budget for since your rent, food, PG&E, etc. are covered and you don't need a car to drive to campus Some will need to consider a loan to cover your bill owed to SSU, usually depending on the dorm cost For many, a part time job is critical to pay expenses like transportation, toothpaste, etc. A Final Word We first look at the year, but -Campus bills & Fin Aid will be divided into 2 semesters Some financial aid packages are not final yet: -Until all FAFSA corrections are complete and you turn in requested documents to SSU Fin Aid Office, awards can change for better or worse. Your award can be cancelled if you don't turn in requested documents to Financial Aid. Check campus email & To Do List weekly, including all summer long. Documents can be requested at any time. PS: It only seems overwhelming at first. Your EOP Advisor's goal is to make sure you understand your award and costs. UNDERSTANDING FINANCIAL AID Your EOP Advisor will help you understand your financial situation. Once you understand the basics, you are better prepared to work with your Financial Aid Representative as needed. Respond promptly to any emails, To Do List requests or calls from Financial Aid. Ask if you need help. ccreated Created by Sandra Shand, Graphics by Luis Vega

Fox Chief Defends 'The Following': 'We're Not Glorifying Serial Killers'
"We must match the intensity. Otherwise, we're going to be a pale comparison, and we're not going to entertain the audience," Kevin Reilly said of the network's cable competition.
Fox entertainment chairman Kevin Reilly took a barrage of incoming fire from reporters gathered for the Television Critics Association press tour on Tuesday about the level of violence in the upcoming Kevin Williamson thriller The Following. But Reilly stood his ground, noting that broadcast networks are not only beholden to FCC regulations but also have their own rigorous standards and practices departments that vet everything that makes it to air.
"This show adheres to our broadcast standards," he said. "It's intense because of the psychological nature of it. There have been more violent shows on television and nobody noticed or cared because they were insignificant, bad shows."
THR Review: Kevin Bacon's The Following
Reilly declined to draw a direct link between depictions of violence in television, movies and video games and the rash of recent shootings, including the Dec. 14 Newtown. Conn., elementary school massacre that has spurred a nationwide dialog about gun control and pervasive violence in the entertainment industry.
"I think it trivializes it to link it to television or broadcast television specifically," he said. "As a parent, as a participant in society who worries about the safety of my family, of course these things are on my mind. I have a lot of sleepless nights. I think the conversation is an important one and should happen in the broadest possible way."
The Following stars Kevin Bacon as a troubled FBI agent tracking a murderous cult amassed by James Purefoy's jailed serial killer. Williamson admitted that real-life tragedies including Columbine and especially the 1990 murders of five students in Gainesville, Fla., inspired some aspects of The Following. But both Williamson and Reilly disputed claims that such content is a glorification of a violent culture.
PHOTOS: 18 New Midseason TV Series
"We're not glorifying serial killers," said Reilly. "Clearly, there is an appetite. Let's just say that for a fact. People like these things. That is the business we're in, providing things that people like."
But Reilly admitted that the content on cable -- especially AMC's gory zombie drama The Walking Dead (the top-rated series on cable TV that pulled in 10.5 million viewers for its mid-season finale last December), which is not beholden to the same content standards as broadcast -- has motivated the network to push storytelling limits.
"Before there was cable, Fox was cable," he said. "We were the edge of what was bold, and we still want to be there. We're not competing with just Criminal Minds, we're competing with every show on cable, and if you notice, the top show on cable last year was Walking Dead."
Of course, that does not mean that everything the network puts on will be a white-knuckle ride with a massive body count.
But Reilly added: "We must match the intensity. Otherwise, we're going to be a pale comparison, and we're not going to entertain the audience."

I know it's not very accurate, but have any of you that use a corona mill and have it "dialed in" measured the gap? I came by one for free, so I figured I'd give it a try until I can afford a roller mill. My LHBS's idea of a good crush seems to be if all the grain makes it through their mill unscathed!
I just checked mine (it's a Porkert) and the teeth on the plates are only about 1MM apart. It varies a little bit because it doesn't rotate cleanly but that was the widest spacing I found.
Sounds like the gap is too wide.
While turning the handle slowly screw in the adjustment. Once it's where you want it toss the stuff you have in the holding pot/tank back in the hopper.
I just put a little grain in and adjust it as I slowly turn to what looks perfect, then toss the rest in and fire up the drill!

Our worries about the environment are not only academic—they affect us personally. Yet there is a strange silence about the emotional impact of the ways in which we talk about the environment, which is so enmeshed with hopelessness: horrifying statistics and gut-wrenching images that threaten to seal the planet's fate. How can we best influence and enact a shift beyond "doom and gloom"? The letters in this Perspectives volume are responses to this dilemma. Through an exploration of new environmental narratives, this volume aims to stimulate readers to emotionally reflect on how we can embrace hope and resilience in our stories about the environment.

Commentary: America's loose screws
By Donald Kaul
My feeling continues to grow that somewhere deep in the psyche of the American people there is a screw loose.
We entered the 21st century as the most powerful nation on earth. There was nobody second. We had our problems, certainly, but we also had a budget surplus, a reasonable foreign policy, and a bright future.

DEFINITION of 'Timberland Investment'
An investment instrument used primarily by large institutional investors (such as public and private pension funds). The two main assets that underlie timberland investments are tree farms and managed natural forests. The returns on these forestland investments come from biological growth, upward product class movement, timber price appreciation and land price appreciation.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Timberland Investment'
The benefits of timberland investments arise from the tendency for the investments to be negatively correlated with other investment instruments such as stocks and bonds. This negative correlation allows timberlands to be used to diversify a portfolio. Timberland investments also provide relatively high returns for the low risk they carry.
However, timberland investments are not perfect investments; they are still open to risks such as high purchase prices that can depress returns, natural disasters that can destroy the forestland underlying the investment and price risks associated with the price of the trees on the land.

Oozed out of jar.
I ordered 2 jars. One arrived half empty. It was so hot somewhere on it's journey it seeped out and was all over the box. Otherwise, I assume it is good. My dermotologist suggested I use it to get rid of the brown/dark spots remaining after a bruise goes away. So I am still trying it.
