NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A survey of business leaders around the state has identified ways Tennessee's public schools could be improved to create more work-ready high school graduates.
The study recommends emphasis on four areas:
-- Basic mathematics.
-- Project-based instruction and teamwork.
-- Verbal communication.
-- Professional skills.
The 80-page report is by the Tennessee Diploma Project, a partner of the American Diploma Project, a 30-state effort to raise public education standards.
The report was sponsored by the Tennessee Business Roundtable and the Hyde Family Foundation.
It was culled from roundtable discussions between Governor Bredesen and 135 business leaders at meetings around the state. An additional 346 executives, managers and human resources officials completed surveys rating key job skills.

Obama Admin Knew Within Hours That Benghazi Attack Was Terrorism
I know many are talking about the bombshell of Obama's speech in 2007, which I really don't see as that big of a deal: we knew back then that Obama hadn't divorced himself from Jeremiah Wright, that he was (and still is) a race hustler, and that he attempts to divide people. I find this a bigger bombshell than a 5 year old video
(Reuters) Within hours of last month's attacks on U.S. diplomatic facilities in Benghazi, Libya, President Barack Obama's administration received about a dozen intelligence reports suggesting militants connected to al Qaeda were involved, three government sources said.
Despite these reports, in public statements and private meetings, top U.S. officials spent nearly two weeks highlighting intelligence suggesting that the attacks were spontaneous protests against an anti-Muslim film, while playing down the involvement of organized militant groups.
It was not until last Friday that Director of National Intelligence James Clapper's office issued an unusual public statement, which described how the picture that intelligence agencies presented to U.S. policymakers had "evolved" into an acknowledgement that the attacks were "deliberate and organized" and "carried out by extremists."
So, within hours the Obama administration had reports that it wasn't a video, it was a preplanned attack resulting in the death of our ambassador and 3 others. And what did Obama do? He went on a fundraising trip to Vegas. Then some more trips over the days following as his administration pushed the notion that it was all a spontaneous response (with RPGs and heavy weapons) to a stupid video that none had seen.
The stream of intelligence flowing into Washington within hours of the Benghazi attacks contained data from communications intercepts and U.S. informants, which were then fashioned into polished initial assessments for policymakers.
Officials familiar with them said they contained evidence that members of a militant faction, Ansar al-Sharia, as well as al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, or AQIM, were involved in the assaults.
The officials did not allege the attacks were a reaction to the anti-Muslim film, but they acknowledged it was possible that the attackers sought to use an outbreak of violence in Cairo over the film, which insulted the Prophet Mohammad, as a pretext for attacks.
The big question is why did the Obama admin. decide to go with the "it was a film" talking point instead of terrorism? Essentially a cover up. There are many theories, but the only one that truly makes sense is that by labeling the attack as a growing out of the protest allowed Obama to continue campaigning at will since September 11 and then hoping that enough of the real information would stay off the media radar till the elections. Obama even blamed the attack on the Mohammed video during his United Nations speech, before blowing off world leaders to go on The View.
In other words, the Administration purely lied to the American public.
And they have no intention of being honest with the American Public. The FBI still hasn't accessed the scene of the attack. The Washington Post has. And Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is stating that they'll have a report on this attack….(via Allahpundit)
Clinton asked Issa to withhold any final conclusions about the Benghazi attack until the review board finishes its work and reports to Congress, which could come as early as November or as late as early next year. She pledged to work with Issa's committee and asked him to submit any requests for information or witnesses at hearings to the State Department's Office of Legislative Affairs.
So, after the election. Foot dragging, stonewalling, and coverup.
Allah also posts this video about the sorry state of the security at the Behngazi site
The big question is will the media do their job and investigate? It used to be that the media were sharks, and something like this would be a pool of blood in the water.

Using image and voice, anecdote and memory, the performance showcases the prize-winning photojournalism of Steafán's father, Bobbie Hanvey, along with radio-edits of his interviews with some of Northern Ireland's best-known figures.
Steafán's storytelling complements and contextualizes his father's work. He brilliantly blends his father's iconic photographs of "The Troubles" of Northern Ireland with his own beautifully crafted words, music and lyrics, offering audiences a moving and memorable experience. (Robert O'Neill, John J. Burns Library, Boston College)
Together, father and son document the extraordinary in the ordinary, mothers and fathers, police and priests, the loved and the loveless, soldiers and paramilitaries, politicians and voters, poets, singers, painters, Travellers, the living and the dead.

Compare this photo with the antique view (picture #1 link at the very bottom of this caption) to see what has happened to the town (and the Ocean!) after 120 years. Actually, it was only about 50 years ago that the land-fill and build-up began to transform the old scene.
You can still see the white cliffs of "Cape Honmoku" poking their tops above the distant curve of the elevated expressway. The old coastline is now traced by a 4-lane surface road, clearly seen running through the village in the foreground -- now a small city. [Use the "ALL SIZES" button and pick "ORIGINAL" to see it better].
Photo by me, taken Nov 2006. I used a slightly shorter focal length lens than what was used for the Meiji-era shot....in order to grab the expanse of the landfill. Even then, the buildup that runs to the distant horizon continues off to the right of the picture.
Here's some nice photos of some shell-picking and 'rickshaw activity on or near the tidal flats that are now covered up by the "progress" seen in the above image : www.flickr.com/search/?w=24443965@N08&q=Shell+Pickers...
If the 'BEFORE" shot (#1) didn't show up with this one in your search results, here it is : www.flickr.com/photos/24443965@N08/2372184479/

eye-opening comparison between old and new. this pattern is repeated worldwide - where there is a will, there is a highway.
Wow...Its such a shame that the old beauty of the shore was destroyed to make this monstrosity.
Must... get... time machine...
outstanding mix...I am now working with people who will do something similar to central Tokyo....egads...
I was in this area recently and had to stand up and look around for a while trying to imagine what a beautiful coastal area it must have been.
Even now,there are enough traces to help you picture it if you look closely.
I agree with the fact that it is a monster.However,Japan is not alone in this.
Most industrial cities by the sea began only recently to look back again to their sea heritage.
For some,partial recovery has been/will be possible.
For many,we will have to be contented with the beautiful photos of old.
It is the price we have paid for modernity and/or capitalism.
SPAEWAIF --- You are 100 % right. Japan is certainly not alone in these matters of turning their coastlines into functioning land-fills....for better or worse.
But, since Japan is the heart of my photostream, these pairs will get posted....only to show that the places where the tourists, artists, and photographers once flocked to in droves, are now completely ignored by them as "progress" works hard to take away all of these vistas, coves, and hidden groves.
I especially lament the disappearance of vistas such as this :

broken breaker
I just finished fixing my dishwasher and when I went out to turn the breaker back on, no go. The handle does not feel right. It just flops back and forth with no click stops in either direction.
Where do I start my search for a replacement breaker? (I am hoping to find one somewhere convenient and open late with good prices.) It is an ITE panel chassis number EQ442-42B? Specified breakers seem to be "ITE class N,I, Type EQ-P".
Be sure to turn the breaker fully off first. Then attempt to turn it On.
I am not a fan of ITE and their successor Siemens. As far as I know, the present-day QP Siemens breakers will substitute for the EQP. Won't cost you much to find out empirically.
Used EQ breakers are to be found onEbay .
Some say that the Cutler-Hammer BR breakers fit your panel better than the present-day Siemens. C-H is not UL Listed for your panel-- but I would not hesitate if it was mine.
I have not worked on one of those panels, as best I can remember.
This post was edited by bus_driver on Sat, Sep 14, 13 at 12:27
I had one of those crappy Siemens panels when I moved in. It wouldn't surprise me if the breaker failed. I had one fail in more a more bizarre way. It started flickering the lights and when I touched it, it was hot. I swapped it with a spare one and the problem went away.
New breakers are very dear in price as they're not that common around here. I gave all mine away to the neighbors including a couple of 60 amp ones to those putting in hot tubs after I replaced my panel with a square d.
Yup, I am positive it was bad. It was all wiggley and no click in either direction. The other half of a half-width breaker pair preceeded it witth different symptoms. I looked it over, and then found a full-width 20 A in the gargage. I also looked at what an electrician put in recently for my mini-splits. I am good to go at this point.
The panel is weird. Initially, it looks like a simple main lug 3Ph panel, but the top 6 spaces on both sides are a separate bus. The only way to power both busses is to run wire between them. This panel is powered via three 100 A breakers in line one one side of the buss bars. Then a set of 50 A breakers jumps to the main lugs to power the top part.
The other panel right next to it is also ITE. It looks like it was designed for high leg delta service. It is split bus and looks like several single phase Edison service split box breaker and fuse panels I have seen -- 6 handles up and one powers the lower buss. Here, 4 handles cut off 4, 120/ 240 circuits one of which is a large group (20) of 120/240 in a lower section. Back up top, with the 120/240 slots that are used for the cooktop and oven, there are also two slots for 3 Ph.
Don't worry, I paind attention to hook to the same buss that was in use before and then double checked to be sure it was not the high leg.
I haven't been in this forum for the last year or two...
ionized was a regular when I was here before.
Do we really have a regular who doesn't know where to buy a circuit breaker?
Not poking fun - just wondering if my memory is deceiving me somehow.
Yup, same guy, but I have never removed or replaced a breaker before. It seems like the hardest part is finding out what breakers will go in obsolete panels. I guess that an electrical parts house could help me, but they are not open when I am not at work.


text: The GN wiki last edited by pikahyper on 07/10/13 03:45PM View full history Doctor Who is currently very popular within geek culture. But did you know that the character is not the first quirky doctor to adventure through time?The mysterious Dr. Moses Nebogipfel arrives in a small Welsh town in 1887. The apprehensions of the simple rural folk eventually cause them to storm the inventor's workshop in an effort to avenge perceived witchery. Nebogipfel escapes with one other person, the sympathetic Reverend Elijah Ulysses Cook, in what is later revealed to be a time machine. After having been missing for three weeks, Cook returns, aged many years older. He talks about a journey that took the duo to the days of mankind's last stand against an alien invasion in the 41st Century, and even further into the future to a time when humans are no longer the dominant life form on Earth.Originally written by a 22-year old H.G. Wells in 1888, "The Chronic Argonauts" is considered to be the first well-developed use of a 'time machine' in science fiction. It predates his more famous time traveling novel, 'The Time Machine', by seven years, yet has never been adapted for other media. While Wells' version ends with a cliff-hanger, New Baby Productions has expanded the story with an adventure that is influenced by the legendary writer's other works.

We stayed for three nights in Hotel Munkebjerg and highly recommend the place for families traveling with children visiting Legoland Billund and nearby attractions. The room price was very reasonable (995 DKK, 130 EUR) compared to very expensive hotels in Billund. The drive from hotel Munkebjerg to Billund was roughly 25 minutes (35 km).
The hotel is located on beautiful hilltop in the middle of forest facing the Vejle fjord. If you still have energy after a day in Legoland, the nearby hiking trails are great! The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast (included in the room rate) is excellent with nice selection of local delicacies as well as homemade items. There's also a possibility to pack a lunch box from the breakfast buffet for 85 DKK which is a bargain. The evening lunch buffet was bit of a disappointment and also quite pricey (250 DKK for adults and 125 DKK for children).
Our room was pretty basic, but nice and clean with balcony facing a small park. The hotel indoor pool area is very nice with children's pool and two jacuzzis. If we should visit Legoland Billund in the future, we'd certainly choose Hotel Munkebjerg again.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Welcome to Munkebjerg Hotel. Munkebjerg Hotel where business travellers and leisure tourists will find equally suitable and charming surroundings.

For the last 3 weeks I've been travelling to Geraldton, WA from Perth, around 41/2 hours North along the newly finished Indian Ocean Drive, A superb coastal trek cutting through several nature reserves and national parks offering some extremely unspoilt, natural scenery. One of these sights are the moving sands…Vast oceans of pure white sand slowly moving inland fuelled by the constant strong sea breezes, there are several 'Oceans' along the route. The most amazing sight is the winds blowing the sand off of the crests of the dunes….Clouds of sand enveloping the land…..This capture taken from probably the most accessible of them running close to the road around 20 k's North of Wedge Island on the edge of the Namburg National Park, which by the way also contains the Pinnacles Desert, yet as it is.. effectively, "In the Middle of Nowhere !", there was not a single footprint left in the sand, with passers by tending to pull over, take a snap and move on the long journey….
In the words of "Peter Lik"….What am going to do sit in the carpark and shoot it with the long lens… F*^# that….I've gotta get the shot !!!!
A few hundred metres walk later…and you're in a different world….
Once again… I wish I'd had a few more hours spare to stay for sunset !!… It turned out to be amazing with an inland storm and some of the most amazing coloured sky's I've seen in a long time….that would have been incredible to capture over these dunes !!… Next time !!!!!!!!

Wow, Jonathan, I could have sworn this was going to be snow (but then maybe that's because I'm surrounded by it and was just skiing backcountry where the wind had sculpted the surface like the sand above). Elegant, and your writeup makes me what to go there, be there, in that different world! AMR
Funny you should say that…It is pure white sand so as you approach on a bright day it really does look like a snow storm… in Australia !!!!.. Thanks for the great comment..J

Large rack that holds lots of bottles, but
There were a couple of issues with this rack: 1. Assembly - (s/b simple only 7 pieces) but because the drilled pegs the posts fit onto were not welded or glued in place they had a tendancy to spin. Thus when you got to the final post to screw in the hole had spun away and it had to be taken apart again to realign properly. This was time consuming because it happened several frustrating times. Try to crank them down with pliers. 2. It is very narrow front to back because the design is for the bottles to stick out the back for support. You cannot fit the rack flush to the wall. It should be secured somehow to the wall to prevent tipping in a quake or by bumping. Because it is narrow it tends to tip easier than deeper models that fully encase the back of the bottles. I will be using picture hanging wire & a screw to secure. We also put tile pieces under it on top of the carpet in our dining room to help stablize a little. Be sure the wine bottles are in far enough to avoid the possibility of falling down onto the ones below! 3. This is not wrought iron - it is pretty lightweight. It is powder coated hollow tubes and wire rings. The instructions mentioned leveling the the feet but these were not the type that leveled. Also- some of the rings were not accurately placed before welding and overlap the posts by a larger margin and only narrower bottles fit it those spaces. All in all it does the job & the price was good but you might keep an eye out for something up a notch in quality/weight/depth if you can.Read More

Shopping Guides
Wine Storage Tips
Keep bottles of your favorite wine fresh for years with the proper wine storage. Whether you need wine racks for your cellar or a wine storage refrigerator to preserve both red and white wines, home wine storage is available for both large and small spaces. Read on for tips on buying wine storage for your collection.
Wine Rack Buying Advice
Whether you have a few wine bottles or fifty, you'll need a wine rack to store them properly and keep them fresh for years to come. With so many options to choose from, including wrought-iron wine racks and wall wine racks, you may be unsure of the right storage solution. This guide will provide you with tips on buying the wine storage racks that work best for your home and your wine collection.
How to Buy Wine Racks
Although wine cabinets and cellars can be used for storing wine, wine racks are a better choice for keeping bottles at easy reach in a kitchen or dining room. Wine racks vary in size and material. Some mount on a wall while others sit on the table, countertop or floor. When buying a wine rack, there are many features to consider, including your overall room design and the space you have available.
Best Wine Accessories to Give as Gifts
If you know a wine enthusiast, then you should consider giving wine accessories as gifts. Wine accessories make great gifts for housewarming parties, gift-giving holidays and almost any celebration. If a bottle of wine isn't quite enough for your next gift-giving occasion, add wine glasses, bar sets or a wine rack. Wine gift baskets are also fabulous. Try one of these gifts the next time you want to impress.
Best Wine Storage Options for Small Spaces
When you live in a small home or apartment, but you still want to have a wine collection, you need innovative wine storage options. If your abode is on the small side, you just can't pop down to the cellar whenever you bring home a few new bottles. But even if your square footage leaves a bit to be desired, you can find the right wine racks for your space.
How to Store Wine
You don't need an expensive wine cellar to properly store wine. A basement or closet with a few wine racks can provide a sufficient wine storage area, or you can opt for a wine cooler. Wine coolers are small, temperature- and humidity-controlled refrigerators fitted with wine racks. Some wine coolers allow you to set different temperatures for different wines.
How to Pour Wine into a Decanter
Decanting wine is an easy way to bring a touch of elegance to your dinner table. Wine decanters aerate the wine more quickly than serving it straight from the bottle as well as help the wine to breathe properly before serving. Decanters and carafes come in all shapes and sizes and are beautiful vessels for showing off the color and aroma of wine.
How to Store Wine in a Wine Refrigerator
Wine refrigerators, also known as wine coolers, are made to chill wine to the appropriate temperature. Regular refrigerators are subject to constant activity, which causes the temperature to fluctuate. This is not appropriate for wine, which must be stored at a constant temperature. While wine cellars are the best option for storing wine and are ideal for those with an extensive wine collection, wine coolers are affordable and adequate for those with a small collection of wines.
Top 5 Wine Accessories
Sitting down to enjoy a great glass of wine is one of life's great pleasures. When you've treated yourself to a good bottle of wine, make sure to have the proper wine accessories on hand to complete the experience. Whether you're shopping for yourself or someone else, wine accessories are sure to be enjoyed, and if you give them as a gift, you have an excuse to join your friends for an evening of indulgence. Read on to learn about the top 5 wine accessories on the market today.
Best Wine Coolers for Your Home
Keep your favorite vintage cool and fresh for years to come and buy wine coolers for your home. Whether you want under-counter wine coolers to keep bottles at your fingertips or an electric wine cooler to store in your basement or pantry, the following suggestions will help you find the perfect storage options for your wine. Read on for tips on buying the best wine coolers for your home.
Facts about Kamenstein Spice Racks
Simplify your kitchen countertop with a durable Kamenstein spice rack. Spice racks are the perfect counter accessories to keep all your spices clearly labeled and organized in one place, and they can make cooking and preparing food easier, too. With a revolving or magnetic spice rack in easy reach of the stove while you're cooking, you'll never find yourself digging through a cluttered cupboard searching for the jar you need. But all spice racks are not created equal; Kamenstein spices are bottled in the U.S.A. and sealed for freshness and purity, and the racks are durable and designed for easy use. Don't settle for just any kitchen storage options. Read on for more facts about Kamenstein spice racks.
Best Types of Corkscrews
Getting the right type of corkscrew can mean the difference from popping a bottle of wine open like the host at a fine French restaurant and staring at an impenetrable bottle that teases your taste buds. A good corkscrew is the number one essential in home bar and wine tools. There are a variety of corkscrews available, so you can choose the one that works best for you.
Tips on the Positioning of Kitchen Cabinets
With the wide array of modern kitchen cabinet designs, homeowners can easily choose models that complement and enhance their lifestyles. Picking out the style and color of your kitchen cabinets is easy. But it can be a little more difficult to decide the best way to arrange your cabinets. When positioning kitchen cabinets, it's best to balance functional workspace while keeping an eye on design. In addition to traditional kitchen cabinets, specialty items, such as wine racks, foldout pantry cabinets and slide-out drawers, allow homeowners to combine good looks with functionality. Here are a few home improvement tips to consider when laying out your kitchen design and cabinet positions.
Wine Glasses Buying Guide
Choosing which utensils to use for eating different types of food is similar to choosing which wine glass to use for different types of wine. Obviously, you wouldn't use a teaspoon to eat spaghetti or a fork for measuring sugar into your morning coffee. But did you know that there's a difference between red wine glasses, white wine glasses and champagne glasses? There are specific types of wine glasses for nearly every type of wine. These different wine glasses can be identified by their sizes and shapes. Read on to discover which wine glasses are right for the wines you prefer to drink.

How to Choose Red Wine
Red wine may remind you of tropical-themed songs, snowy days by the fire or romantic, decadent dinners at your favorite bistro. An oaky, spicy or fruity red wine is the perfect accompaniment to a variety of meals. A dizzying array of red wines may leave you feeling confused about which wines are right for your parties.

text: Remute's Demo- and Cracktro-Tunes Mixtape by remute published on 2013/02/13 23:18:05 +0000 As you know my previous DJ-mix here on Soundcloud dealt with catchy computergame-music from the past and the present. Now it is all about the crunchy tunes of the demo- and crack-intro-scene (uhm,...you'll know their work if you played pirate copy games in your childhood) of the 80s, 90s, 00s and today! These guys and their work is just amazing and deserves more attention from today's 'dancemusic-scene'!

Hey folks,
This was our first year of gardening here in Oklahoma and a learning experience indeed. Our soil seems pretty fertile, though there is plenty of rock to remove in order to work it. Heat is both a challenge and a wonderful resource as I see it. We went through about 36 days of triple digit temps, which pretty much put some of my squash down for the count. But some things, like watermelon, okra and sweet potatoes went bananas, producing wonderfully. We had some drought this summer and both tomatoes and beans languished. That is, most beans languished. I planted three varieties of cowpea, all of which Ive grown, on and off, since at least 1995. One, Georgia Long, is a yard long bean. It struggled more than I expected. But perhaps this was due to marginal soil conditions and a late planting.
However, I was super impressed with the other two cowpeas, which are more conventional varieties, in that they are half runners and have pods about 8-9 inches long. I planted these in mid June. Real drought started in July. Yet both varieties flourished. They were so beautiful to see, as the didnÂt seem at all stressed by our conditions.
I planted Penny Rile, and heirloom I received from Harold R. Martin in Hopkinsville, KY, back in 1995. This was an heirloom from his family and I recall him telling me how his family depended heavily upon it during the depression, as it never let them down, producing abundant crops of seed. They would pull the vines and stash them in the barn, threshing them later for food. IÂve grown it in Hidalgo, Mexico, where it did exceedingly well, and now, here in Oklahoma. I planted it alongside a row of corn, a week before it started to tassel. It started out like a bush bean, but later in the season, when the corn was dried down, I noticed that it began to climb (up to about 3 ½ feet). It flowered and set a nice set of pods. I intend to grow this one in more quantity next year, as I can see it as a wonderful thing to plant between the rows of corn, shading the ground and crowding out weeds. On top of this, I tried the pods, for the first time, as snaps. They are good for snaps! So this variety will likely prove a useful, productive variety for snap, shell and dry beans.
Here are a couple of pictures of Penny Rile growing and its seed.
The other variety is actually a landrace mix from a Totonac Indian village in the Mexican state of Puebla. My family and I have eaten these many times, in the form of bean tamales, given to us by friends from this village. They just called them Pintitos (spotted). I introduced the variety to the Seed Savers Exchange, dubbing it Zongozotla Pintitos. "Zongozotla" is the name of the village. They are "spotted" only when the seed mix is altogether in a bowl. Some seeds are white/tan and some are black. Unfortunately, since my seed was older, I harvested a disproportionately high percentage of white/tan seed. Next year IÂll have to work on getting things more in balance. This variety, too, turned out to be suitable for snaps. It seems to sprawl more than Penny Rile. IÂll have to be careful not to get any of these seeds mixed and also, to grow them with a good deal of isolation distance between them. Zongozotla Pintitos needs work before I can reoffer it. But Penny Rile can be purchased at Sandhill Preservation Center. I wonder how many other cowpeas can be used for snaps? Cowpeas have such potential for food, cover crops and soil improvement.
Tahlequah, OK
Thanks for the interesting report on the "cow peas" George.
Having been raised on a farm many years ago, I remember them as a staple of farm life, for eating fresh, canning, saving dried peas for seed and feed etc. Different parts of the country have different lingos as well as accents, but those in your last picture remind me of the ones that we called "cream" peas, which were slightly smaller and a little less round than the crowder peas.
My favorites were always Black eyed peas and purple hulled peas. All that we raised were very proflific in relatively poor ground, thrived in the heat and drought where many other plants threw in the towell and were valued as hay somewhat similar to the way peanut hay was.
I planted a row of blackeyed peas about 70 ft long in my garden this year and they produced well and were delicious. When I thought they were about through producing, I mowed most of the row down, leaving only about 30 or 35 feet where there were three and four pods on each stem (I thought a little unusual and very productive and wanted to save seed from those.) They surprised me somewhat by the fact that the portion of the row that I mowed kept trying to grow back, and the portion that I did not mow kept on producing several more flushes of peas.
Some of the information on those (and a few pictures, of course) in addition to a couple of pictures of the nitrogen nodules on the roots of legumes like peas and beans, (which gives them value as soil builders) can be found in the thread that I have linked below.
Bill P.
My favorite is Zipper Cream as their thick pod is resistant to curculio damage. I love all types; which varieties you find suffer the least from curculio damage. I often loose 50% of my crop when these weivel bugs lay eggs in the peas. I'd love to know specific varieties. Thanks for any information!
Peggy, it seems to me that many insects and diseases are particular to certain areas. I just never have much problems at all with raising black eyed or purple hulled peas. Very few things bother them much at all, this past year there were some of those little black ants trying to get colonized on them till I disrupted their plans, and a new bug in our area that I had never seen before. It looked kinda like a big ant, but did very little dammage, mostly seemed to want to suck juices out of the stems. We had kind of a strange year weather wise but the only thing that I had to use for insect control was some dawn dishwashing liquid mixed with water in a little hand held spray bottle. I do believe that a flock of sparrows that hung out in the garden helped to control the insects also, until the very hot weather and leaf footed stink bugs hit. I guess that they do not like the taste of them.
I posted the picture of the bug described above a couple of times but never had any one reply that knew what it was. is what it looked like.
Bill P.
George, If I didn't know better I would have thought you copied my pictures. I started taking pictures of my veggies this year to keep a record of things like bloom color plant size pod color seed characteristics etc. The pictures I took of the peas were identical to yours. I used an old enamel ware plate with some shelled peas and some pods and a bloom. I would show them but I have problems showing pics. Can you tell me how you show a picture in the message vice showing a link which I can do . Rodger
Rodger, I looked, hoping that I had saved the instructions that Gonefishing sent me earlier this year and unfortunately I don't have them anymore. Will write you offline, later, when I can compile some for you. Perhaps Bill P. still has a copy of what he sent me...?
Sure thing. Just click on the link below then when the picture of the text comes up, roll the cursor over it and when you see the little magnifying glass with the + in it, click that to enlarge the text so that you can read it. You could probably print it out.
Photobucket has one new feature since I wrote those instructions relating to resizeing the pictures. They now have a little drop down menu after you click on EDIT and one of those choices in it is for "MESSAGEBOARD", which is the one that I now select.
I hope that helps and if you have further questions, don't hesitate to ask them.
Bill P.
Nice pictures Rodger!
No, this is hot linking where the link provided takes a reader/viewer directly to your Photobucked account to see the picture. They are not stored on G.W.
If you even move a picture around on Photobucked, it breaks the link and the picture will no longer be visable on G.W.
I have three Photobucket accounts with 500 + or - pictures in each one, but the photos that I posted links to a couple of years back still show up like they should.
Bill P.
Yeah, georgeous collection of peas and beans.
I guess I can't be considered a real southerner, despite my heritage, since I've yet to taste a fresh cowpea. Someday, when I get to do more than six weeks in a southern garden, I'll correct that lacking!
Beautiful "peas" Rodger. More heirloom acquisitions from the AHSC?
This year was my first real success with cowpeas, growing "MN 157" (an early purple-podded) & "Fagiolino Dolico Venito" (a half-runner blackeye). I've had success before with peas started in pots, and I always start Yardlongs that way; but these were both direct-seeded, and matured fully with plenty of time to spare. Very encouraging... I've got photos of them on my cell phone (of all places), haven't figured out how to get them onto my computer yet.
Doesn't mean I'm going to get cocky, however... most of the peas & limas pictured here will probably never succeed in my short Wisconsin summers (several humbling experiences to prove it). I think that for the most part, cowpeas & limas (and peanuts) will remain a joy best experienced by those in warmer climes. Still, you can't blame a dyed-in-the-wool "bean freak" for trying! If it wasn't for my grandchildren, I'd move further south. ;-)
I'm hooked on the posting pictures thing now. None of the seed in these pictures are from past AHSC swaps some are from John Coykendal thru SSE others local heirlooms or GW trades. Zeedman I know peas need heat to grow but most produce dry seed in less than 8weeks so I would think you shouldn't have trouble growing them the limas however need heat and alonger growing period. Here is a picture of a pinkeye lima
This picture is another assortment of seeds mostly cowpeas in the back. I took this picture for a local magazine article I wrote on Heirloom gardening.
Hey Rodger! Wonderful pictures! Here's a question for you, since you obviously grow a fair number of cowpeas: are very many of them suitable for snaps? I used to grow more when living in Mexico. I didn't keep record on this, but seem to recall that some are not good for snaps. I saved seed from a cross of Black Crowder and Georgia Long (which has the long vines of a yard long bean) because it made a good snap. But this year, with Penny Rile, I was taken by how the pods were tender for a good long while.
George, as you probably know peas ripen over night. If picked green it is impossible to shell no matter how full the pods are. Peas are picked when the pods turn from green to either purple cream or yellow. This seem to happen overnight. When the majority are ripe we pick all the peas maybe 10% are dry and 10% are green the remaining are perfect to shell. The dry I set aside for seed or for use as a dry pea the ripe peas are shelled and the green are used as snaps mixed in with the shelled. I have not come across a pea that we didn't mix in some snaps with the shelled peas. They are tenderest when the peas have not filled out ie showing bulges if when I snap them and they are not crisp and make a clean break I try to shell out the peas or just toss them to the chickens because they will be stringy and wont go through the sheller right. I have not keep any records of varieities better suited for this and I have also not eaten all the peas I have grown, mainly because some I had so few seed initially I let all go to seed. Hope this answers your question. And again I cann't resist, here is a pea which shows a good snap. I told you george you copied my idea for using a white plate.
and one more for contrast these are a Butter Bean which was my Grandmas favorite. I don't have her original seed they were lost decades ago but I found another from the same area in northern Ala.
I gather then that we may be able to assume that the information on posting pictures may have been of a slight benefit in enableing you to get started posting your pictures.
We have always just used a few of the immature peas to snap if snaps were desired in with the shelled peas. That normally works well and they are tender enough and usually without any strings.
The variety of cow peas that I am familliar with are pretty easily shelled when they are mature and fully filled out, and before they begin to dry, and even easier to shell or thresh out after drying.
P.N. I do not know what stores in your area carry, but here we can find "Bush Blackeyed peas with (or without) snaps" on the aisle with the majority of other vegetables. They are not quite as good as what you can grow in the garden, but generally pretty darned good. Let me know if you can not find any and/or want a couple of cans and I could probably ship them to you so you could try them. Or perhaps your grocer could request and stock some for you.
Just my early morning thoughts.
Bill P.
Hey Roger, how bout posting a picture of your pea sheller so we can see what it looks like and how it works ?
Bill P.
Well, thanks for the offer, Bill. I'm not sure if they have canned black-eyd peas at the local groceries here - tell the truth, I've never looked. I doubt it, as cowpeas are not popular in the north. We have cooked them from dry a few times. I don't like them quite so well as cooked dry beans.
Anyhow, I've always wondered how they taste fresh at snap stage, like fresh english peas. The canned ones you mention are put up at that stage?
I don't know what your talking about. Posting pictures is childs play. Who needs instructions. Bill I bought this pea sheller last year for around $48 with shipping. It works wonders. Not only Will it shell peas in the shelly stage and dry but dry beans which are a royal pain to shell and dry limas I have not tried fresh Limas but the instructions state that it will do them. A wonderful tool. Rodger
Pnbrown, I can't described the taste, but it is nothing like English peas. I do not care for English peas, and when it comes to field peas(cowpeas) I have not come across a one that I didn't like best fresh shelled over dry it is two different tastes. Same as green beans I can take the same bean fix it fresh, fix it fresh frozen(Horrible), fix it canned, or fix them dried(leather Britches) and each will have a different taste. Many of the field peas I don't care for as a dry pea whipporwill is one. Excellent fresh but doesn't appeal to me dry. Also as in green beans taste varies from variety. Clay peas very earthy beany tastes Blackeyes very bland to me. I have a Holstien pea that taste like Boiled Peanuts( another delicacy of the south)I would check the grocery store for frozen peas or canned they are the best to me. Rodger
Rodger says "I don't know what your talking about. Posting pictures is childs play. Who needs instructions."
Well Jeeze, please forgive the misunderstanding and intrusion. That is not the impression that I had when I read this in your first posting in this thread. "I used an old enamel ware plate with some shelled peas and some pods and a bloom. I would show them but I have problems showing pics. Can you tell me how you show a picture in the message vice showing a link which I can do . Rodger"
And a similar plea from you in a posting down near the bottom of the thread linked below.
A thousand pardons sir, I guess like the Warden told Paul Newman in Cool Hand Luke, "What we have heah, Is a fail ure to co muni cate! ":^)
Bill, I was just joking around. Thanks for showing me how to post pictures, I'm not at all familiar with the term emoticons and words do lack jestures that would be giving in real one on one conversation, sorry for any misunderstanding. I have to admit I was disappointed when I read your post.I guess I need to leave out the sarcastic remarks. I was like a kid with a new toy, showing it off Trying to poke alittle fun, but I guess I blew that. I had hoped you would have replied about the pea sheller. I really like it. It works best feeding one at a time no effort really needed to turn and can shell as fast as you can feed. It use to take me all winter to shell up the peas beans and limas working a little at a time. Know I can go through a bushel in around 20-30min. The picture shows some brown seeded half runner beans my wife shelled out while I was sleeping( I have been working nights these past couple of weeks). There is some Grey palapye peas in the dishpan to be shelled next and some rattle snake peas in the long pods on the table. I put those there for George. I remembered the lady I got those from at last years AHSC in Ky telling me they make great snaps and she used them solely as a snap. I only had three vines and they are long over 10ft but the Guineas ate the first round and I ended up with only that handful of pods. So it is one I will have to grow again next year to further increase the seed.I just got back from the state fair picking up an exhibit I had on home gardening, I didn't win first I came in 4th but still got a check for $175.00 Here is a picture Rodger
I got the joke right away. That's because being facetious is my favorite form of humor. Trouble is, people take my most absurd remarks seriously (and laugh when I'm being serious). I end up looking foolish. That happens most often with strangers or with written comments. I've been trying to rein myself in.
In looking up the spelling of facetious, I found the definition is "joking or jesting often inappropriately". I quess it's the "inappropriately" part that gets us in trouble Rodger. ;-)
(The winking smiley face at the end is an emoticon.)
The written word can be so tricky that way. I've received e-mails before that would hit me really hard and then, a week later I'd go back and read them again and think "What was the matter with that?!" Emoticons are a good idea just to alert folk to attempts at humor.
I feel like I've gotten to know most of those who have been posting regularly on this forum and I guess because of a level of trust, I tend to be more forgiving, trusting, if there is a misunderstanding, that it is just that. I know I never want to hurt someone's feelings. Hope I haven't. I know, especially when there are differences of opinion feelings can get hurt.
Rodger those are very impressive pictures! I'll have to see about getting one of those shellers too! I didn't know such a thing existed.
Another thought: there are cultural differences that come into play when it comes to humor. On the East Coast, for instance, people use a lot of irony (saying the opposite of what they really mean). When we first came back from Mexico and lived in NJ I once mentioned a co-worker, to my son, who promptly turned red and started gritting his teeth, commenting something about how he really didn't like the fellow. I was amazed. But then, I had grown up there. The problem was that the fellow would tell me how much he liked me and my work by saying things like, "You just sit around all day, don't you?!" But by the tone of voice, I knew (and he knew) that he meant the opposite. My son, having grown up somewhere else was REALLY bothered until I explained it to him!
O. K. I feel much better now that we have cleared the air! ":^) (I have no patent on this emoticon but have used it longer on quite a few different forums than anyone else that I know, and it should convey the message that I am smileing).
I know how to take many of the posters on most of the forums which I am active on, but were not that familliar with you Rodger, so did not quite know how to take your comment, as you could probably tell.
I too, am not at the best of my form, had to be back at the hospital at noon for X-rays for a 1:00 P.M. follow up with the heart surgeon that did the tipple by-bass, and could well have been a little edgy about that as well.
The good news is that he said that I am solid as a rock, everything is looking great and I am to see my regular Cardiologist day after tomorrow and then my family doctor within a few weeks. So, he is done with me unless I have problems, unforeseen at this time.
I have shelled many a pea Rodger, so I was sincere about the pea sheller, and wondered how they did work. I imagined that they were like a minature old fashioned clothes wringer with the crank on one end that you fed the wet clothes between two rollers and it squeezed the water out of them, except that it squeezed the peas out of the hulls, or shells.
Thanks for posting the picture and info. I may try to find one for my own use before next summer. I do love those peas and one of the time consuming things is shelling them.
Bill P.
I've been confused about this emoticon thing, so I asked here at work. Turns out I am not familiar with it because I've never seen it. Apparently the filters at work don't allow them to show. I guess my filters at home do the same because the previous post only shows a ^ and a . no smily faces.So anyone know how to make them work? Pnbrown. My first thoughts were the same as yours, how does it not crush the bean. Well as far as I can tell the nylon rollers just squeeze the pea out. I have found if the pea is green ie not in the yellow pod or purple pod stage it just mashes the pea so they must be ripe. On dry beans and peas it just chews up the hull sending it out the back and the seed drops down the front very little if any chaff (SP) I have attached a link where I bought mine. I have ordered from them before they ship same day. I ordered my sheller on a sunday evening at work came in tuesday priority mail. I am working with very little sleep tonight up till noon taking down the stuff from the fair then I had to move plants in the greenhouse forcasting light frost tonight and a freeze tomorrow. I still have three 25 ft rows of sweet potatoes I have to dig in the morning. Rodger
Thanks for the link to the pea sheller Rodger. Get some rest and get those sweet potatoes in the morning, the frost won't be good on them.
I have never heard of a filter that did not let emoticons, or symbols made up of characters from the key board be displayed. I guess that might be that some of those characters are used in programming code and might conflict in some instances, or something like that.
I agree that the written word does not reflect tone, inflection or other emotion adequately in some instances. One could always use the little (T.ounge I.n C.heek) if there was some question that you might be mistaken, while kidding around. Just a thought.
Bill P.
Had a delicious mess of whippoorwill peas tonight. Inspired by that, I started surfing around on that topic, in anticipation of this year's gardening. Somewhere in this thread I came across a poor opinion of whippoorwills in the dry state, which left me with mixed emotions. It means that what I had were not so good, even though I thought they were. It also means I can look foreward to a super good treat next time I grow them, if I pick them as shellies.
I got a lot of helpful info about cowpeas from this thread. I hope to see more like it.
Then, there was that misunderstanding between Bill and Rodger which was amusing because, fortunately, it turned out OK in the end.
Whatever, this thread is a great one and I'm bumping it up for you to enjoy again.
Sorry folks for not being involved these past few months. I will admit I am more of a lurker than a poster. I have also been busy with my side hobby which is growing. I currently have around 15,000 Heirloom tomatoes, peppers and eggplants that will be going to the plant and flower shows in Florence Sc and in Columbia SC and whats left to be donated to the Southern Legacy Seeds 10th annual seed swap in Crawford Ga. on the 28th of April. I am also getting my garden 1+ acres ready to plant and low in the hole summer came early to the carolinas. It has been in the upper 80s.
And to top things off I am not just an heirloom vegetable fanatic. I have an extensive antique rose collection 100+and numerous flower beds that have been in need of attention. And as if I had nothing to do I help out and plant a period garden at one of the historical mansions here in SC. I am the President of the local Master Gardeners Club where I also teach vegetable gardening for two counties. So Spring is a very busy time for me and the most enjoyable time for me. I look forward to posting some pictures of this years garden and getting involved in the discussions as things begin to settle Down. And for those in SC. Please come to the Midlands Plant and flower show in Columbia SC on 19th -22nd April I would love to talk to you and sell you some plants or come to the Pee Dee plant and flower show the 12th -15th April in Florence Sc or make plans to attend the Seed swap in Crawford Ga. on Sat 28 April from 3-8pm This will be my first time to attend the seed swap even though I have been a part of this organization for the past five years. I am also hosting the 2nd annual Tomato tasting in Little Mountain SC on July 21 from 12noon till 2:00pm
Okay I'm done boosting now back to my reclusive self for awhile.Rodger
What do you do with all your spare time Rodger?
I was thinking last night when I saw this thread again, that I had made a mental note to buy one of them pea shellers. I have Black Eyed peas up. Did not get a good stand, I think that it was too dry and I did not keep the ground moist enough, so I planted some more in the skips yesterday, but should have some peas to shell and eat before too long.
Best regards.
Bill P.
It's nice to see you checking in, Rodger. You're a good contributor. You have lots of solid information and great pictures.
See you later on the Bean forum. The bean forum could benefit from a good general thread on cowpeas like this one. I'm not a stickler about those things though. If a good bean thread pops up on the Vegetable forum or elsewhere, so be it. Just so I don't miss it.
I remember when I started this thread, that the beans and legumes had recently begun and it hadn't occurred to me to do it there :)
It's good to "see" you folks again! I'm probably going to order one of those pea shellers too! Will be planting a good many cowpeas this year, probably starting in the coming week. Besides Penny Rile, Zongozotla Pintitos and Georgia Long; I have minute quantities of Polecat and Black Crowder, which did well for me in Mexico, but are now almost ten years old. I'll probably plant in order to renew my seed. But I'm going to put in LOTS of Penny Rile and Georgia Long, so we get to EAT a lot of them! My wife complains when my seed plots are nearly as large as our "eating plots."
I'm amazed that cowpeas never caught on in my native NJ. They grow well there. Here in OK, they're a normal denizen of the garden. But their snaps are tasty and productive and my observation is that they are more pest resistant that the p. vulgaris beans.
Tahlequah, OK
I've seen that pea sheller before and always wondered if it worked--good to know that it does. I've always enjoyed a good "pea shellin' party"--sitting on the porch for hours shelling peas by hand. Unfortunately, I'm the only one that seems to think so.
"I've always enjoyed a good "pea shellin' party..."
That makes at least two of us. Shell beans & edamame soybeans ditto. My grown children often come over to help with the larger shelling jobs... which usually turns into dinner.
I got _lots_ of help with the edamame, once people realized that you could eat them as you shell.
After several failed attempts on other years, I've got a nice little crop of cowpeas going in this warm, dry summer. Queen Anne black-eyed peas, supposed to be good for the north. This time I got smart(er)and waited until late June to plant, remembering that we have a warm fall here and can usually count on warm weather into early Oct. Hope to be eating fresh shelly cowpeas for the first time ever. Knock-on-wood.
High fives to you pnbrown. I am also having great success this year with a small crop of pink eye purple hulls after two failures. The plants are rampant and starting to bloom. I have grown other cow peas but was jinxed on the purple hulls until now. You are right about our climate being good for them and the soil is too.
"Shell edamame? I wouldn't waste my time... edamame never makes it to the freezer in my home!"
Then you don't grow enough of it! ;-)
Jimster & PnBrown, glad to hear that your peas are doing well. One of mine is just beginning to set pods, with perhaps another 6 weeks of warm weather left - plenty of time. But they are also part of my inoculant experiment... so no sampling. :-( Well, I'll probably sneak a few...
This has been a strange year for my cowpeas & yardlongs. They have spent much of the summer just sitting there - perhaps because the rain has been so scarce in my area, perhaps because of cooler July weather, perhaps... what? I'm mystified.
I normally begin to harvest yardlongs by August 1rst, and this year, they are only now beginning to climb & blossom. And that was _after_ being started early in pots! After many good years, I had begun to take success with yardlongs for granted... I guess Mother Nature didn't take kindly to that. Hopefully, she will relent for the second half of the season.
Zeedman, from here I would guess it would be the cooler July weather. It has not been a stellar year here either, with a near record rain fall for two months. I planted my Black eyed peas too early and a late freeze nipped them quite a bit. I replanted in the skips ad finally got a good stand. They did later and I got several messes of themm and they were delicious. I usually eat the peas from a pod or two while picking them. ":^)
Congratulations to you P.N. and Jim. You are in for a treat, hope that you have a good crop of them. They may produce right up to frost for you if you keep them picked as they mature.
Bill P.
I didn't get Zongozotla Pintitos in the ground this year. However I do have a good planting of Penny Rile. They are looking great. I tried an experiment, which seems to be working. I planted my corn (for corn flour & grits) and when it was high enough to hill I planted a couple of rows of Penny Rile, both on the outside of the planting and a few right down the middle. Now that the corn is starting to dry down I see my cowpeas climbing right up the stalks. Looks like it will be a good way to control weeds as the corn dries down. But it will be "interesting" to pick cowpeas, other than to wait and get them all dry.
By the way, I tried cooking dry "peas" just like we do our dry beans. They are out of this world! I just boil them in water with some salt. In one case I added one sausage link to the mix, for flavor. Boy is that good!
Sounds great George. We have always used dried peas as well as beans as a staple. You are right about the way to cook them, but we also add about a spoonful of bacon grease for flavoring. Some use some salt pork or ham hock. Some cornbread and hominy also goes well with them. Black eyed peas for good luck on New Years day is a tradition.
My dad nearly always had us kids go though the corn field with bags or cans of peas, broadcasting them before he ran the plow down the middles to lay the corn by. That put dirt up around the stalk and covered the peas at the same time. The corn was well along the way by then and the peas grew up the stalks like you mentioned. It made them easy to pick and after the dried corn was gathered and the cows turned in on the field, it gave a lot of excellet forage for them, or sometimes we would cut quite a bit of it and put it into the loft of the barn for hay for later.

Thanks Bill,
I love that kind of historical/cultural anecdote. Here I am re-discovering what your dad, and probably generations before him probably knew all along! Part of the reason for this is probably my New England roots and part of it is probably due to the day in which we live.
I've found that I REALLY like to cook those dry cowpeas with a hot pepper in them! Also, I've been accompanying them with corn tortillas. Can you tell where I spent a significant portion of my adult life?! Anyway, even if a person had to purchase them in the store, I'd say that cowpeas are wonderful! They are economical and healthy besides delicious.
Bill, what was the spacing your dad used for his corn? I'm still experimenting with that.
George, we had no way to irrigate and little to use in the way of fertilizer. The barnyard manures went on the vegetable garden and water melon patch for the most part. Sometime we could find the funds for some nitrogen to side dress with but more often than not we probably could not. The corn was planted with a planter which spaced it out some, then when it was around half knee high we thinned it to a small step apart which was probably about 16 to 20 inches. A group of us walked along the rows with hoes and chopped the unlucky plants down. The rows were approximately 36 inches apart, which was pretty standard for the plows we had in those days.
Availability of water and fertilizer could alter that spacing. Our land was fairly good and I may have mentioned somewhere that we did have some excellent crops in good years.
Good luck with your endeavors George.
