- The Ex-PatientsA look at leprosy in Vietnam
- Located about 40km from Ho Chi Minh City, and one of several leprosy centers in Vietnam, Ben San is not only a leprosy hospital, but the sprawling grounds also contain private residences for those who are in relative better health, but still bear the scars of their long time afflictions, and thus are unable to return to society at large."Actually, we don't have any leprosy patients here, we call them ex-patients," so Dr. Hai, the center's director, informs me. "We cured leprosy here more than ten years ago." Yet, upon encountering those who reside here, the phrase can take on an ironic and intriguing meaning.
This is an ongoing project looking at the lives of those who have been affected by leprosy in Vietnam, and like most parts of the world, shunned from society. Many residents have called Ben San home for several decades, and will most likely take their last breaths here as well.

MIT to test making oxygen on Mars
Oxygen is such an abundant resource on Earth that we rarely think about it unless we get locked in a cupboard. However, for space engineers, the question of how to get enough of the vital gas is constant, frustrating problem. To help future explorers of the Red Planet get enough oxygen for life support and powering spacecraft, NASA has included MIT's MOXIE experiment on the Mars 2020 mission to study how to make oxygen out of the Martian atmosphere.

In an age where reading something from a screen on a phone or a computer is a normal part of our daily lives, the wearing of glasses or contact lenses often makes doing so a chore with eye-strain problems and the necessity to carry around spectacles or lenses wherever you go. In this vein, researchers at the University of California at Berkeley have created a prototype vision-correcting, printed pinhole matrix that they claim fits directly to a screen and negates the need for eyeglasses or remedial lenses and may one day offer improved visual acuity to those with eye problems much worse than simple farsightedness.

MIT adds two robotic fingers to the human hand
Earlier this month, we heard about an MIT project in which test subjects were equipped with an extra set of robotic arms in order to help them perform tasks. While the technology is certainly intriguing, some people might find the concept of a four-armed cyborg to be a little ... much. If you're one of those people, then you might be more comfortable with another ongoing MIT project. It's just aimed at giving people two extra robotic fingers. Read More
If you've ever watched an octopus, you may have noticed how they can deliver powerful grasping force when necessary, yet can also squeeze through tiny openings by essentially making themselves "liquid."

Need help with tree ID
Was given this tree as a gift 4 years ago. The gifter did not know what it was, only some kind of fruit. Rabbits nearly killed it off a couple of times, but I wire-meshed it and it survived.
This is the first year that I've gotten these beautiful pink blossoms from it. it's now about 4 feet tall and has two prominent "trunks" (see pic), in additon to some other long branches growing from the base... figure I should probably choose one and prune the others off, but leaving as is for now.
I'm thinking maybe apricot or plum, but just a wild guess.
Hoping the blossom will help with identification....?
Can post more pics if needed.
Thanks in advance.
Definitely a peach or nectarine. If it weren't for those darn rabbits you could have a nice big, productive tree by now. My Elberta will be 5 years in the ground this spring, and I've had to prune it back to 12 feet tall. It's as thick as an arm at the base.
Hi There,
It looks like peach or nectarine indeed, both leaves and the flower.
Your statement "in additon to some other long branches growing from the base...", sounds like water sprouts from the rootstock.
Could you please post a picture of the base of this tree? Seeing a picture will make it easy to tell. If they are water sprouts, you need to remove them.
Thanks for the replies...
Here's a pic of the base, it actually has 4 trunks... two in the middle are about 2 ft. each and pale in color, and the two on either side are the darker, taller 4 ft. ones that I mentioned in my first post...
They all have leaves and appear to be healthy, but only the 2 taller ones have buds or blossoms...
Two questions...
Should I remove the shorter ones now..??
Should I also pick a taller one and cut off the other..??
I googled around and looked at necartine and peach blossoming trees, and also plum blossoms.... they all look like a close match to what I have. How are you able to tell the difference between these... must be very subtle.
Thanks for your input.
Peach or nectarine, and you're going to have to try to ID which are the rootstock sprouts, and which are from the main tree. Try to find the graft line on the trunk of one of the four main trunks. In your photo, it appears that the trunks on the far left and far right are slightly different in color, and may be from the rootstock, especially if there is no graft line. Rootstock can be more vigorous than your grafted cultivar, and it will eventually take over and your grafted cultivar may end up dying. So, look carefully at each of the trunks for that graft line. THAT is your peach/nectarine tree. All others should be pruned out. It's not about size, it's about identifying which of these 4 trunks are rootstock and which is actually your tree.
Patty S.
Do you remember if you planted the tree with its graft union above ground or underground?
If it's underground, you should pull away the soil to find out which trunks are from above the graft union, which are under (from the rootstocks). Sprouts under the graft union must be removed.
I can't see the trunks clearly in the pic because of dirt on them. You should clean out the dirt and check the graft line,too.
I hope rabbits did not chewed away the grafted cultivar and left you with all rootstock sprouts. I've not heard good things about quality of fruit (if it ever fruits) from rootstock sprouts.
ok, did some research on what a graft line looks like, then dug down to the root stock.... this may be the best pic that would show which is the grafted trunk...
In the pic are three trunks, the fourth is behind the middle one... the only one that looks to me as if it could have been grafted is the one on the left...you can see that it forks off a trunk below it... the other part of that fork that goes between the middle and right trunks terminates just beyond what you can see in the pic, and is dead...
The other three trunks emerge from below the one in question, which are probably rootstock sprouts...??
Eagerly awaitng your expert evaluation...
Hi Vinnie,
Disclaimer: I am no expert. I started my orchard in 2008, found this forum, have learned from my own experience and reading the forum for the past 5 yrs.
Different people will probably give you different opinion. From the pic, I strongly suspect that the grafted cultivar had died and what you've left with are rootstock sprouts. The second pic shows damage to the trunk. It could be a rabbit damage from way back or from a disease. The lower part of that damaged area looks like it's caused by a disease (fuzzy pic).
To me, all things considered, I'd give up on this tree. It has been repeatedly damaged to the point that you don't know what you are left with. The trunk does not look healthy and the overall growth of 4 ft in 4 yrs is really not good.
If you don't know how to graft or don't want to graft a known cultivar to it, it's not worth keeping, IMO.
If you still want a peach, you can buy it bareroot from a number of reputable on-line nurseries. If you don't want to bother buying on-line, buy a potted peach from a reputable local nursery. I'd not buy from Lowe's or Home Depot even though it's cheaper. Mislabeling seems to be a common mistake there.
Other people may suggest you keep this tree. To me, peach grows fast. You can possibly get fruit in the secod year after planting and definitely in the 3rd year, granted with no animal or disease damages to it.
I hope others would chime in. There are a lot of experienced peach growers in this forum esp. Olpea who owns a peach orchard.
No graft line anywhere I can see. The damage to the trunk you're showing is usually due to a broken branch. In fact, it may have been the entire grafted scion that broke off there. I agree, think you're probably dealing with all rootstock if you cannot see a clear graft on on of the paler trunks. And, I am not an expert either, but stone fruit grafts are pretty easy to spot.
Patty S.
I planted my peach trees with graft union 2-3" above the soil. I was told that peach root/crown are fairly sensitive to root rot. Raising it higher up helps. I've been successful with this method. Some might disagree.
I killed my one peach tree with a rookie mistake. I bought this very attractive peach tree label "Red Haven" from a road side "nursery". It grew very well the first year but died after the first winter. Must not have been cold hardy for my zone and definitely not a real Red Haven.
You are in zone 9. There are a lot of southern peach varieties for you to choose from. Good luck.

OU a wildcard in Banner sweepstakes
Four-star Washington offensive lineman likes the winning tradition of the Sooners
Updated: January 5, 2012, 1:24 PM ETBy Damon Sayles | ESPN Recruiting Nation
SAN ANTONIO -- Zach Banner (Lakewood, Wash./Lakes) is a walking tower at 6-foot-9 and 310 pounds. He is the bookend that will protect the blind side of his quarterbacks at Saturday's U.S. Army All-American Bowl. As physically imposing as Banner is, he has made a case in San Antonio as being the most intellectually imposing player, too. Banner's articulation and vocal eloquence is as impressive as his pancake blocks.
Ask the uncommitted offensive lineman about his college choices, and he'll give you much more than his schools of interest. Banner has the Sooners, USC and Washington on his short list, with Michigan and Notre Dame on the outside looking in, and while he's looking for a quality football program, he's also focused on studying at a place considered a quality academic institution.

Tom HauckESPNU 150 OT Zach Banner's three favorites are Washington, USC and Oklahoma.

Root pruning/ Repotting advice
Hello -
Can someone point me to a previous thread on when is the correct time to root prune for a Fig and how to do it?
When is the time to repot? Before spring budding?
There are several methods you can use to root prune your tree:
1) Using a saw or knife, cut the bottom third off the root ball. Next, cut an amount equal to about 20% of the diameter of the container off all sides. Using a pair of chopsticks (I find bamboo chopsticks work best) remove the remaining growing mix from the roots. Pick out the remaining roots so they radiate from the base. Trim any roots that extend beyond where you made the cuts on the root ball. Also, cut out a couple of the thickest roots.
2) Using a pair of chopsticks, remove the growing mix from the roots. I find it is easiest to start from the bottom and work up. If the growing mix has compacted, it may be necessary to also from the top down until there is a meet somewhere in the middle. Generally, at the beginning it is easy to remove the growing mix. However, there is more compaction in the middle of the rootball... so it will get more difficult to remove the medium as you go along. Once some point is achieved, it will become easier to remove. Once all the growing mix is removed, comb out the roots with the chopsticks. Next, find a couple of the thicker roots and cut those out. Then cut the remainder to length by gathering all the roots underneath the tree (think ponytail) and cut. Alternatively, if the tree is small enough, turn it upside down so the roots hang downward (I also find it is easier to comb the roots out when the tree is upside down (think of someone bending over to comb their long hair), and trim to length while spinning the trunk of the tree.
3) Cut the bottom third off the root ball. Next cut two pie shaped wedges equaling about a third of the volume into the growing mix. Remove the cut outs. Put the remaining root ball into the container and add fresh growing mix. Repeat the procedure every year.
Once the tree is bare rooted (1&2), partially fill the container with new growing mix. I like to fill mine so that when the tree sits on top of the mound, the basal flair sits about 1/2 inch below where I want it. Comb out the roots so that they radiate down the mound of growing mix. Add more growing mix and work the roots through it with the chopsticks. The container may need tamping along the outside to help eliminate and large cavities. Once enough growing mix has been added so the container is at the desired level, gently begin pulling the trunk of the tree up. At the same time, insert one of the chopsticks into the growing mix under the tree. Move the chopstick in and out while at the same time making small circular motion to force the growing mix into the cavity created when the tree was pulled up. Afterwards, tamp the side of the container again to make sure all cavities are filled.
If the tree has come from a commercial nursery and has not been bare-rooted or if the tree is severely root bound, method 1 maybe the best bet. Although, one should still expect some severe compaction in the interior of the root ball. Last week, I bare rooted a tree in NJ which is 7' tall with a trunk caliper of over 2" and has spent at least the past three years in a 3g nursery container. It took me about three hours to bare root it using method 2. However, if I had used method 1, it wouldn't have saved me too much time (most of the work was done on the interior) and I wouldn't have had enough root mass to support the top of the tree.
If the tree has been recently bare-rooted, more than likely method #2 will be best since the root ball will probably fall apart without much prodding from the chopsticks. Also if the tree is being moved up to a larger container and needs more of its root mass than would be left by method #1, use method #2.
Method #3 is employed when the tree is large and in a large container.
I would suggest repotting as early as possible. Whenever you expect your temps not to fall below 30oF anymore and the highs are above 50-55oF is a good time. The sooner the tree is repotted, the more time it has to establish new roots before top growth begins.
Thank you James for the detailed answer.
I will print it so I can study it further.
One quick question --
The Fig trees I have (still in the garage from winter time) do already have a lot of new leaves forming - So I assume from the last sentence of your reply I should not do anything this year and should wait until next year when the condition you specify (below) is met:
Whenever you expect your temps not to fall below 30oF anymore and the highs are above 50-55oF is a good time... before top growth begins.
I guess I should have mentioned the timing is somewhat subjective. The reason for root pruning improve conditions for new root growth. New roots are more efficient in transferring moisture and nutrients up into the tree. The root pruning process increases available space by removing larger less efficient root. The fresh growing mix provides the porosity to allow the flow of moisture and fresh air into the root zone. If there is some pressing reason for root pruning now, I wouldn't rule it out. However, if there is still space for new root growth and the growing mix hasn't collapsed, you could wait.
I mentioned the tree I root-pruned/potted up last week in NJ. It had just broken dormancy. Another one I root-pruned last week also had small brebas on it. They would have had a difficult time going another summer in the containers they were in. The one was so compacted, I had a very difficult time getting it to take water last year. Most of the water would run down the sides of the container. Because the trees had already started to break dormancy, I didn't prune the roots as hard as I might have otherwise. I am expecting to be bare-rooted next year as well (hopefully I will get to them earlier) and remove a few of the roots I left behind.
The reason I like to repot as early as possible (in Houston, between early Dec and early Jan) is so the roots have a chance to reestablish themselves before top growth resumes. I have found that as few as three weeks makes a huge difference in the trees (the small to medium sized ones) ability to keep itself upright when the winds hit the leaves. If you decide to do it now, make sure you stake your tree to prevent the wind from tipping it over.
Depending on how tightly the growing mix is packed... tired arms.
For the trees I have had for a while, it is not necessary. Most of the growing mix falls off easily, and the rest can be combed out quickly. Most of the trees I have picked up at nurseries have been too compacted to use water effectively. After some of the growing mix has been removed and the roots loosened up a bit, shaking the tree (whether or not in water) will allow some of the growing mix to fall out.
I had forgotten to mention water in my early posts. I have found that if the root ball is too dry, the roots become brittle and I lose more during the bare-rooting process. If the root ball is water logged, it adds too much weight. Not only does this tire out the arms when holding the tree, it puts added strain on the roots connection to the trunk. I normally water a day or two before I plan to remove the growing mix so that it is moist at that time.
Most of my trees are in Houston. The high humidity allows me to take my time with bare-rooting without worrying too much about the roots drying out. In more arid environments, the roots can be sprayed with a mist of water every so often to keep them moist. I have (in an experiment to kill RKN) left a tree bare rooted for two hours on a day that was warm, dry, sunny and windy. The tree survived.
Also, a shake in a bucket of water is useful after all the growing mix is removed to clean off the roots. This makes inspection easier. It is surprising how much some components of growing mixes look like RKN when they stick to the roots.
Would you advise this same procedure for citrus in pots? How about other trees? I have a bay laurel I am trying to keep in a 15 gal and it is getting huge! How about pomegranate? It's great advice and I can't wait to try it next year.

Waag (Weighhouse), Delft
6 Reviews
6 Reviews
Located at the center of many Low Country medieval cities, weigh houses were buildings for public control of the weight of goods, both for the safety of the principals in a transaction and also for establishing appropriate taxes. Elsewhere in Europe, this function took place in town or guild halls. Weigh houses were also used in the 16th and 17th C to weigh the accused versus a set weight - guilty if the accused was too light.
Constructed in 1616 and reconstructed in the 18thC, the weigh house of Delft was also home to guilds devoted to precious metals. It was in use till 1960, used in the later years for weighing cheese. It is said to be a cafe today, but closed up tight on our visit.
Traders had to let anything heavier then 10 kilo's being wieghted by the weighing house. This provided the city with income of the weighing taxes.
There original scale is still here in the building and it dates back to 1647.
People in 17th sencery had VAT taxes, too..
The "Waag" is a building that is present in most historical town within the Netherlands (and also other European regions). The building was often placed on or near the "Markt" (market square) as it's function was to weigh and administrate goods, products and transactions that needed extra official acknowledgement. Disputes were solved here and certifications (first of all, in weight) were given out. In Delft the "Waag" (Weigh House) was built in 1614 and reconstructed in 1770. On the first floor the gold and silver smiths found their guildhouse. It kept it's weighing function even until 1960, when as last product a load of cheese was checked ! After that a group of students slowly realised their wish to turn this monumental building into a town cafe with theatre function, which finally in 1995 was done. Town Cafe "De Waag" and Theatre "De Veste" attract their own public successfully since then.
The right to have a weighing house was one of the first city rigts that Delft got. It was a very important right because traders were obliged to let anything heavier then 10 kilo's being wieghted by the weighing house. And that generated traffic but also provided the city with income of the weighing tax.
The weighing was done on the ground floor. The upper floors have been used for many purposes.
There original scale is still present in the building and dates back to 1647. The last weighing that happened on this scale was in 1960 with a lot of cheese.
After 1960 the building was in use as a theater but since 1999 it is a cafe-restaurant
The building in the middle had an old plaque saying it was a center for apothecaries (pharmacists).
You are actually looking at the back of the building. Now if you walk around to the front of this building (on the Markt) it turns out to be the weighhouse (Waag) where everything over 10 pounds was weighed. Conveniently situated on the water (wijnhaven = wineharbour) so that good could easily be transported in and out.
The first floor of the Waag was rented out to the silver and goldsmiths and to the apothecaries.
These days the ground floor of the Waag is a restaurant.
De Waag (the weighhouse) is abuilding situated behind the town hall. It was built in 1770 and now houses a café. Note the beautiful refurbished gable.

Awesome scents that lasts all day. I love scented soaps. Bee & Flower doesn't cause any reaction and the scent is light and not too overpowering. Doesn't leave a film on your skin either. Not very sudsy, but that's a good thing in my book.

I began using this soap on the advise of a friends wife that owned a health food/vitamin store in the 80's. As an outdoorsman, motorcycle enthusiast and carpenter that spent most of his time outside and usually in the sun I knew I needed something to help my face and I tried it. I loved it right away and could feel the difference in how "clean" my face felt. Then when I hit 50 yo I began to use it on my whole body.

Gat for everyday use and I love the peppermint because it gives a great tingle to my skin and lathers well. Keeps my skin from baking out from more harsh soaps.
I read about this and tried and abosolutedly loved it. It truly softens your face too and I belive it does make you look 5 years younger. Will keep buying.
Once upon a time, ZEST made White bath soap. It smelled so good and now it cannot be found. why?

Even a 10 year old child can add all the bells and whistles to a website. But for some reason, getting people to visit your website usually turns out to be a little more challenging. In fact, it's not uncommon for a brand new web site holder to build an exceptional site but never receives a single guest and then soon after gives up any plans to carry on and turn it into a successful site. So where do you begin to increase your web site's traffic? According to Internet Marketing Consultant Gaston Collins at GastonCollins.Com - here are a small number of fast ways to attract traffic to your site at very low cost, the initial thing you could do is setup a straightforward web site stats system that will allow you to track where your visitors come from. "It's imperative to discover what web pages your potential customers are coming from to visit your website. Otherwise you will not discover what works and what doesn't," All right so you at present have your tracking and stats setup, let's look at a number of systems to acquire traffic. To begin with, you can make use of the Pay-Per-Click (PPC) method. Google Adwords and Yahoo Search Marketing are by a long the most well-liked PPC search engines. Setting up an account is fast and easy. Second, you could pick up free of charge traffic with advertising your website through organic search engines this is also called SEO. The most important players are Google, Yahoo, and MSN - in that order. The third method to gain traffic to your site is through a number of methods of posting of links to your site all across the web. The top method of choice for this is contributing informative information to message boards, forums and writing articles. At long last we must discuss a usually over-looked system of traffic generation, this is of course Ebay. You could look all day long, but you possibly will not discover a superior, more laser-targeted source of traffic at such a terrific price.

Page 2 Presented by Daniel Toriola Ways to Draw Traffic to Your Web Site By Mike Walton You have probably seen all of the articles and ebooks on line that you can purchase to show you how to make money on the internet from your home. Well it is true you can make some money on line with your web site but you first need traffic. It doesn't matter how great of a web designer you are, if you don't know how to draw traffic to your web site no one will see it. Traffic is the key to making money on line, whether you use that traffic to sell something, get people to click on your AdSense links, or just to get their name and email address so you can do email marketing. You need to drive traffic to your web site and there are a few different ways to do it. There are paid ways of driving traffic to your web site and there are free ways to drive traffic. Paid ways of driving traffic are quick and you see results right away but the once you stop paying the traffic stops as well. Where free traffic will take a little longer for you to generate the traffic but it is traffic you will continue to get 3 months from now. We will talk about different ways to generate traffic for free in this article. Google web master tools is a great set of tools to see how your website ranks with Google in terms of search results, errors in your code, and other things you can do to improve your listing. I suggest signing up for free Google web master tools and creating a sitemap for your web site that google can look at. This will help google to index your site properly especially if you use database driven web sites. It will take a little while for all of the information to populate in the different areas but once your information starts to populate it will become very helpful information for you to use. Article writing is by far my favorite way to draw traffic to my web site because it allows me to do something I love and helps me to draw traffic. I simply write articles about what I know and what is related to my web site. Then I post those articles on the hundreds for free article sites on the internet which gives me free link backs to my site. Then if people like my articles they can take them from the article site and use them on their own site again adding to my link backs. I have found this to be the most effective form driving traffic to your web site because it put free information out there and creates links to your site that will remain there for months. But there is one thing about article marketing, you may right an article that generates traffic for a few months but that article will eventually stop generating as much traffic as it did before. So you need to continue to write new articles about new topics to keep everything fresh. Blogging is another great way to generate traffic to your site and create back links. Check out blogs that are relevant to your web site and comment on different posts where you can add important information. When you post on a blog you will put in your name, email address, web site, and your comment. The blog will usually use your name as who posted the blog and make your name a link to your web site which again helps create unique back links to your web site that other search engines will pick up on and rank your site higher. A lot of blogs entries are being checked by the administrator to filter out spam and any one using vulgar language but most are not doing that and are posting entires immediately. So with that being said we want to keep blogging a great traffic generating tool so spamming is something we don't ever want to do. This will actually cause you to be banned from a lot of blogs and will also cause your website to lose credibility.

Tuesday 31 Mar 2015
By Gareth Harris. Museums, Issue 244, March 2013Published online: 06 March 2013
The Louvre plans to widen its geographical remit and acquire more paintings by Latin American artists, starting with the Mexican school. The Paris museum has just one work by a 17th-century Mexican artist in its collection: José Sanchez's The Visitation, around 1680, which was donated to the museum by a French collector in 2004.
"Mexican paintings are not that rare on the market, but their quality is often poor. As we won't purchase more than three or four paintings to represent the whole school, we must be very selective," says Guillaume Kientz, a curator in the Louvre's paintings department. Along with Jonathan Brown, a professor at New York's Institute of Fine Arts, he is organising the exhibition "Mexican Art at the Louvre: Masterpieces from the 17th and 18th Centuries" (7 March-7 June), which features 11 works.Ten of the works due to go on show are drawn from Mexican museums and public collections, including the Museo Nacional de Arte in Mexico City. Sanchez's work is also included in the exhibition, which is backed by the non-profit Fomento Cultural Banamex."I think the public will be impressed by the large size of some of the works, such as paintings by Cristóbal de Villalpando [The Flood, 1689, and The Lactation of Saint Dominic, 1684-95] and Juan Rodriguez Juárez [Flight from Egypt, around 1720], and by their pictorial boldness," Kientz says. He adds that the museum hopes to acquire works by almost all of the featured artists. "I am especially interested in the works of Cristóbal de Villalpando and Miguel Cabrera," he says.The works will be displayed among Spanish paintings of the same period that are shown as part of the permanent collection. "The comparison between Juárez and Francisco de Zurbarán or Bartolomé Esteban Murillo is very appealing, but at the same time, there are differences that demonstrate the [individual] artistic identity of the Mexican school," Kientz says.Sarah Schroth, the interim director of the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University in North Carolina, welcomes the Louvre's interest in Latin American art of the colonial era. She says: "The juxtaposition of the Mexican paintings with Spanish works in the Louvre exhibition reflects Jonathan Brown's belief that the path towards understanding art from the New World is knowledge of the original sources used by the Mexican painters, mainly Flemish prints and Spanish paintings exported to the colonies."The book accompanying the exhibition provides an overview of the major Latin American works in French museums. It is based on research by the Louvre and the Paris-based Institut National d'Histoire de l'Art. The show signals a rapprochement between the French and Mexican governments after the debacle of 2011, when 360 events forming "The Year of Mexico in France" were cancelled. The then French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, took umbrage when an appeals court in Mexico upheld the conviction of Florence Cassez, a French woman who was sentenced in 2007 to 60 years in prison for kidnapping, carried out while she was a member of the Los Zodiaco gang—something she denies. Cassez was freed at the end of January after the Supreme Court ruled that her rights had been violated.

The Prado museum from Madrid had a great show about Spanish colonial paintings. It's about time to give the importance that it deserves. This period when the European culture gets into America.
The Mexican art exhibition at the Louvre must have been delayed by the 2011 debacle. It is nice to know that the Museum is waking up to the existence of Mexican art. It is a subject for gratitude, a first step in a field where the United States have be active for some time. Their latest exhibition was at LACMA "Contested visions in Latin America: the Spanish colonial world", a somewhat broader vision. It illustrated the work in depth of mature scholars!

Has anyone here in CO zone 5 tried growing oca before. I am giving it a shot this year. I have it planted in a container on the south side of my house hoping to extend the season.
I did the same two years ago. I tried to keep it covered even when frost came so it could have a good long season. I got absolutely nothing. I've thought to try it again but haven't gotten around to ordering when it's the right time.
I read that you have to wait about 2-3 weeks after the frost kills it before you should harvest the tubers. I guess they really start to grow well after the frost kills them...I plan on doing some more reading on them before the fall gets here.
@Milehighgirl- How long did you wait to harvest them after the frost killed off the top foilage?
provogirl, I am not remembering when I harvested. I know that I did wait a while because I remember being disgusted with myself for not covering them one night and I just let them sit there.
My husband grew up in Bolivia and oca is very common there. The Indians in the Highlands freeze dry them simply by letting them sit out in the sun during the day and then they re-freeze at night until they are dehydrated. If I recall, they are then ground into a powder and re-hydrated and cooked that way. They call it "Chunu". [The "n" has a tilde over it, but GW does not seem to be able to translate that: "Chuñu"]
My guess was that since we are high altitude here, but not nearly so high as the Beni Highlands, and dry, we should be able to grow them here. We are just quite a bit farther from the equator, and we do get frosts too early for them.
I got my oca from Seeds of Change, and planted them indoors in really early spring. Somehow the early planting does not matter as much as the length of days after the summer solstice. Putting them under a low tunnel would be my only guess as to how to get a crop.
Now you've got my curiosity up an I may give it another try.
Milehighgirl- Thanks for the info! I noticed you have grown a lot of bolivian veggies so with your HB growing up there that would it that. Have you ever tasted an oca?
I saw oca for the first time in a Seeds of Change catalog but they had a crop failure last year so I couldn't get any from them. I got mine from Territorial Seeds this year. I hope it grows where I have it. It is in its own pot and microclimate.
I do have quite a few covered raised beds that work really well for us here. It may have to be moved to one in the fall.
Sounds like we have quite a few of the same interests in what we grow! We may have to get together for some coffee and garden chat sometime.
Have you ever tried growing yakon?
Yes, I've tried yacon with the same success. I did bring it in for two years. One year I got one huge tuber and decided to use it for seed instead of eating it. For some reason it did not come back up and when I dug in the pot it had apparently rotted. I was quite bummed.
They are VERY frost sensitive. I tried to cover it each night last year, but even with a nice flannel sheet over it the leaves succumbed. My tomatoes that were under the same sheet showed no signs of damage.
They are a very beautiful plant and worth growing for the plant if nothing else.
Inside cooling down!
I had never heard of oca, and checked it out when you first posted! Very interesting! It looks like it might be a challenge with our short growing season, but it's still very interesting! Since I'm in taking a 10 minute heat break, I decided to google pics to see what the plants look like, and ran into this site/blog. The guy's (?) from London, so has a LONG growing period, but still some interesting info, and some pretty pics! I enjoyed his post: Oca Yield - Keeping up with the Andean Peasants? !!! Sure seems to me if they grew/grow these things in the Andes, there must be some way for us to grow them around here! I don't have room to try this, but maybe a cold frame with a few light bulbs for cold nites, or some low hoops with a pretty good cover and some bulbs or x-mas lites? Looks like a fun thing to play with!
Back out into the HEAT,
Here is a link that might be useful: Growing Oca
the reason your Yacon rotted is that Yacon produces 2 types of tubers, 1.) the small tubers in the "crown" that grown the new plants, and 2.) the large tubers that store energy for the plant... (they will not produce a new plant), those are the ones that you eat.

The river had carved itself a really deep gorge, I would estimate that the sides were generally 50m high, maybe more but I don't want to exaggerate it. For example the fjords in Norway are mighty impressive, this had a similar feel enhanced by the fact the actual river channel was perhaps only 10-15m wide in places.

The effect of the force-field parameters on the morphology and charge dynamics is assessed for amorphous films of tris(8-hydroxyquinolinato)aluminium. Two force-fields are used for non-bonded parameters, OPLS and Williams 99, whereas bonded interactions are obtained from first-principles calculations. By comparing densities and glass transition temperatures we conclude that the OPLS-based force field provides a better description of the amorphous morphology. At the same time, the difference in molecular packing does not significantly affect the distribution of charge hopping rates or charge carrier mobility.

David Scott "Scotty" Wilson passed away very suddenly and unexpected. He was a employee at Carquest for 13 years and was happily married for 18 years to his wife Sandy Wilson. He has a son and a grandson.
Scotty was born on December 16, 1959 in Hearne, but soon moved to Waco with his family. Scotty graduated from McGregor High school in 1978. In 1989 he moved back to Hearne.
Before working at Carquest Scotty made cabinets at Raymart in Waco, he also worked at Lowes for a couple of years.
Scotty loved to share tales about his fishing adventures. He not only loved to fish, but he loved to hunt and be outdoors.
Scotty was a die-hard Dallas Cowboys fan.
There will be a BBQ benefit in Scotty's honor to help raise money for his family.
As the deadline to finalize the County's 2013-2014 budget approaches, the Robertson County Commissioners have been scrambling to find hundreds of thousands of dollars more to cut from an already lean (compared to budgets of the past few years) budget. This particular need came from a recent decision—or at least a hope—to minimize a necessary tax increase to two cents on every $100 valuation. That hope dimmed on Monday, despite some determined efforts to cut spending.
On August 5, 2013 at approximately 4:45am, Hearne Volunteer Fire Department was dispatched to 301 S. Alamo St. in Hearne in reference to a structure fire. Upon arrival, the wood frame home was engulfed in flames and had already been evacuated by Hearne Police Department. Calvert Volunteer Fire Department was also dispatched for mutual aid to help contain the blaze. The home was a total loss. The homeowner was identified as 76-year-old Charles Williams of Hearne. No injuries where reported. American Red Cross has been notified to assist the homeowner. The cause of the fire is unknown.
A fund has been set up at First Victoria Bank for Charles E. Williams. This is to help defray costs related to his home burning and loss of all of his belongings. All First Victoria Bank branches can receive donations.
Local Report / Robertson County News
With the passing of Senate Bill 14 a new requirement was created for voters to show photo identification when voting. The November 5, Constitutional Amendment vote will be the first to implement these new requirements. The Robertson County Election Department and Elections Administrator Trudy Hancock are encouraging all Robertson County voters to head to the ballots on November 5. "It is the first time with the new ID requirements and this is an excellent opportunity for residents to make sure they comply with these new laws." Traditionally, voter turnout is low for straight constitutional ballots, however the elections office is hoping to use this election date to better streamline the voting process before the primary elections in May 2014.
"Please, let the firefighters know what a great job they all did," said Fire Investigator Lt. Janine Mather. Mather is with the State of Texas Fire Marshall's office and is responsible for investigating fires within 20 Texas counties, including Robertson.
On Saturday, August 3, Calvert Fire Chief Joe Jackson and volunteer firefighter Zeke Bermudez were the first to respond to the call. "I told the chief we needed back up, he told me Hearne was on the way," said Bermudez. Along with Hearne Fire Department, Bremond as well as Franklin responded to the blaze at 5:55 p.m.
The blaze engulfed eight apartments and displaced five families when it was finally extinguished six hours later. All residents were accounted for and no injuries were sustained.
In open commissioner's court last Thursday, Coty Siegert, Robertson County/District Attorney announced the success of a recent methamphetamine drug operation that netted 19 indictments and have already landed 5 in jail. Warrants for four other suspects involved have been issued. All suspects are from Robertson County.
Richard Paul Lehoski of Hearne has been charged with two counts of delivery of a controlled substance greater than 1 gram, but less than 4 grams, a 2nd degree felony.
Douglas Carl Herwald of Hearne faces one count with intent to deliver and two counts of delivery of a controlled substance greater than 1 gram, but less than 4 grams, a 2nd degree felony. He also faces one count of possession of controlled substance less than 1 gram, a state jail felony.

By Brian Orndorf
After 2008's "Doomsday," I lost faith in writer/director Neil Marshall, who torched all the promise generated by 2005's "The Descent" to make a tuneless, odious John Carpenter wank that thankfully few seemed interested in. "Centurion" returns the filmmaker to an intriguing gallop, taking on the challenge of a historical actioner, following battered Roman soldiers as they march into Hell. This being Marshall, a nimble foray into brawn isn't to be expected; instead the filmmaker floods the film with blood and growls, creating a mighty clang of history and gore. It's Herschell Gordon Lewis's "I, Claudius."
As Rome attempts to conquer Europe in the 2nd century, their efforts are forcefully rebuffed by the Picts, a tribal nation out to defend their Northern Britain territory. Into the fray goes soldier Quintus Dias (Michael Fassbender, "Inglourious Basterds"), a centurion who's escaped enemy capture, only to find himself marched back into duty when General Titus (Dominic West) is ordered to plunge further into Pict control. Again beaten by the natives, Dias and a small band of survivors (including David Morrissey and Liam Cunningham) flee, forced to endure brutal environments and the concentrated efforts of an unstoppable, mute Pict tracker named Etain (an aptly cast Olga Kurylenko, "Quantum of Solace"), fighting their way back to the safety of the Roman army.
"Centurion" is a rough and ready film, playing to Marshall's strengths as a visual composer and closet sadist. It's a film better seen than heard, with gorgeous widescreen cinematography from Sam McCurdy expressing a forbidding land of dense forests and snowbound mountaintops, creating an obstacle course for the Romans that challenge their survival instinct at every turn. It's a compelling land of mystery ruled by an ill-defined tribe of painted natives who've committed their lives to spilling Roman blood. Now there's a movie.
For the first act, "Centurion" tears off as a chase and revenge picture, barreling through a series of skirmishes that splatter the screen. Marshall loves the wet red, and he gives in to the temptation here, depicting the battle between the Romans and the Picts with head-chopping, wound-spurting accuracy, turning the battlefield into an escalating parade of horrifying body trauma, though most of the carnage is criminally cartooned by terrible GC-enhanced blood. "Centurion" is vicious and primal, but pleasingly so, allowing Marshall to create a film of spittle-drenched fury, which helps to reinforce the need for the Romans to find a safe haven, despite the fact that they are actually the villains of the story. It's an energized piece of direction from Marshall, but it doesn't last forever.
"Centurion" slows some as it regroups in the midsection, suddenly realizing an emotional core wouldn't hurt matters. Enter Arianne (Imogen Poots), a dewy Pict exile who comes to the aid of the wounded soldiers, showing reassuring distaste for the tribe which invites warmth into Dias's cold heart. The character's introduction comes far too late in the picture to matter, only halting the action needlessly as Marshall clumsily scripts up a heart. It's an accomplished, vivid ensemble, but they're better left with minor dramatic beats than useless melodramatic ones.
"Centurion" gets back to the business of cracking skulls for a grisly finale, but the air has been let out of its tires. Instead of reaching unimaginable heights of neck-snapping exhilaration, the picture limps to a finale, which, once again, betrays the fierce tone of the piece. Still, "Centurion" is a marked improvement over the nonsense of "Doomsday," providing evidence that Neil Marshall still has plenty of potential within him.

Stink in garage/Cleaning the floor question
tejas_ruthieAugust 27, 2007
I did a search in this forum for clean floor but didn't see what I was looking for. This seems like such a dumb question but here I go. We have a plain old cement garage floor. There is a stink in the garage. I thought maybe an animal died or something but I have moved everything, swept it all clean, checked all cabinets and there is no dead animal. The smell is still there; the only difference is the floor is swept clean. I guess we have to "mop" the garage floor. I have not done this before. Is there a product just for this? Or do you think just hosing the garage floor will suffice? I need a disinfectant really to do the job right. Maybe ammonia in water? My question sounds so dumb I am embarrassed.

All clear at Army's Fort Lee after 'active shooter incident'
CNN — (CNN) -- Authorities declared all-clear Monday at Fort Lee in Virginia after a lockdown because of a reported active shooter, the Army installation said.
"An all clear has been issued by the Fort Lee installation operations center at 9:50 a.m.," said a posting on the installation's Facebook page. "The law enforcement event is over."
Earlier, the Army post's website reported an "active shooter incident" at Building 5020 of the Combined Arms Support Command headquarters.
No immediate details were available on what happened.
The installation was locked down. The lockdown was then partially lifted, limited to one building and main gate, before being entirely lifted.
Fort Lee is near Petersburg, Virginia, about 30 miles south of Richmond and 135 miles south of Washington.
Retired Maj. Gen. James "Spider" Marks, a CNN military analyst, described the post as a "very active" one, with soldiers "routinely coming and going to get various types of training."
In an active shooter situation, he said, everyone locks down in place to avoid becoming a target while letting authorities and military police respond.

Woo Hoo, inherited a friend's stash
Well, for a year a friend on a countywide organization's board with me has said she has a stash of yarn she wants to bring to me, but we both keep forgetting to coordinate. Last night she brought me a tub of lovely yarns, usually one ball or skein only but sometimes a couple of them. They are often without labels, so I have to assume they are wool when I think of how to care for the made item. Some have 2 or 3 skeins in the same color. Some are one skein of a few different colors of the same yarn and others are just one skein. They are mostly the unique type yarns. Some still have labels with the price, and wow, I would not spend that on yarn myself. Sooooo this is a treasure of a stash that I don't know how to use up right now. Lots of greens and natural ecrus and browns, but some with metallic threads or sequins too. I will have to see what I can turn into baby items. But the rest---MMMMMMMMMMMMM
Moni, I live in southern California, and so does my younger sister. We would die of heat prostration! My older sister lives in hot Texas. My youngest son lives in NYC, but I have made him too many scarves. In fact, now he is learning to knit and his group of friends go to knitting coffee shops. My DD is moving back to southern California this month, and I have made her a good 30 or more scarves already. Sooooo, I am stumped. Maybe I will come up with something. They are lovely balls of yarn!!
I made a few bags last year - the first two in the yarn called for - Woolease Chunky - and then the next few using two strands of whatever I had around the house. Of course, I made a few based on special requests colors but everyone loves this bag. Great for small projects, taking lunch to work, etc. Yes, I know this is a winter bag but just think of getting ahead on Christmas gifts!
Here is a link that might be useful: Marlo's Crochet
Congratulations! I had a similar experience a year or so ago - I was taking a Saturday morning walk in my neighborhood and came across a neighbor having a yardsale. She had yarn, so I started going through to see what she had that I could put to good use. She had bought a lot of single skeins of a particular yarn in almost every color, so although there was a lot of yarn, there wasn't a lot in a color. I ended up purchasing 60+ skeins for less than $40.
When I brought it home, I stored the yarns in similar colorways and realized that this would be how I could use them. All of the yarns were 100% wool suitable for felting. I have simply stranded colors together when I knit and then when the piece is felted, it's a very lovely "wash" of color. You could also purchase enough yarn of the same color to run along with your "found" yarn, since felting usually needs two yarns worked together  and would give you less variegation in your finished fabric.
I recently "lost" several bags to my mother - she came out for a visit and spied a couple of colorways and took them home with her. While she was visiting, she made a lovely felted bag (I wish I had taken a photo). She embellished the outside with buttons from my button stash, and then lined it with some lovely fabric we found at the quilting store, and even added a little zipper pocket. Because the yarn, zipper, and buttons came from my stash, only cost was for the fabric lining.
I think I mostly see felted bags, but there's some darling patterns for felted caps or cloches, slippers, coffee cup cuffs - lots of little things that can use up the bits and pieces of yarn that you have.
