Below zero temps forecast after 'warm' December; six inches of snow or more possible for region over weekend
Despite warmer-than-normal December weather, the first days of 2015 will be very cold -- but neither trend is an indication of the entire winter, a meteorologist said. "This cold snap, it's going to be a good part of next week, with the high not reaching above zero even on Wednesday," said Bill Barrett, meteorologist at the National Weather Service office in Grand Forks. The weather service issued a winter storm watch for the northern Red River Valley starting late this afternoon and running through Saturday afternoon, with a 90 percent chance of heavy snow tonight and a 70 percent chance of
As Fred Goetz walked through the Grand Forks Water Treatment Plant, he pointed out the age of nearly every piece of equipment. "Through this door, we're entering 1968," said Goetz, the water treatment plant supervisor, as he walked through the green tile doorway separating the plant's 1956 addition from the section added in 1968. The plant, built in 1956 on a 100-year-old water treatment site downtown, and its 1984 addition have had several equipment updates over the years, but the 1968 addition has remained intact and now only runs in the summer months, which have the highest water usage.
Monday marked this winter's first day with all-day below zero temperatures. The high for Monday was minus 1 degree — the coldest yet this year — said Tom Grafenauer, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service office in Grand Forks. The dip in temperature has caused the annual spike in sales of winter weather gear, said Wade Pearson, CEO of Home of Economy.

Editors' note: Toshiba officially announced it will stop producing HD DVD products, bringing an end to the format war. For that reason, CNET recommends that people avoid buying this player for high-definition movie playback.
For home theater buffs, Toshiba has been the face of HD DVD in the format war. Toshiba delivered the first ever standalone HD DVD player, the HD-A1, and followed it up with a full second-generation line including the HD-A2, HD-A20, and HD-XA2. Coming into the 2007 holiday season, Toshiba is rolling out its third-generation line of HD DVD players, which delivers more of an evolutionary upgrade than any big new functionality. The $400 HD-A30 is right in the middle of the lineup, offering 1080p output (at both the 60- and 24-frames per second rate) as a step-up to the cheaper 1080i-only HD-A3, but lacking high-resolution bitstream audio output found on the $500 HD-A35. And all third-generation models lack the excellent HQV video processing of the HD-XA2, which remains available.
Overall, we couldn't help but feel that the HD-A30 was extremely similar to its predecessor--the HD-A20--which isn't a good thing, as 1080p output on both players is disappointing. Don't get us wrong, there's a lot to like about HD DVD hardware compared to Blu-ray hardware, such as its lower cost and stronger mandatory requirements. And if your HDTV can accept and properly display 1080p/24, the HD-A30 delivers excellent picture quality as well. The problem is that the vast majority of HDTVs can't handle 1080p/24 properly, which means that for most people, the HD-A30 just doesn't justify the price premium over the HD-A3.
From afar, the Toshiba HD-A30 largely looks the same as its predecessor, with a glossy black front panel and a silver strip down the middle. Up close, there are some significant differences. The front panel controls (play, pause, fast forward/ rewind) are now right on the player, instead of under a flip-down panel like on the HD-A20. There is still a flip-down panel, but it's very small on the left side and houses a single "extension" port, which could eventually be used to add more storage to the unit. Aside from that, the A30 is even more glossy than its predecessor, plus it has a more curved look compared to the boxy second-generation models.
The Toshiba HD-A30's primary mission, of course, is playback of HD DVD movies. Like all HD movie players--HD DVD and Blu-ray alike--it can also play standard DVDs. Unlike some first-generation Blu-ray players, the HD-A30 can play standard audio CDs, although it can't handle CDs and DVDs that include MP3 or JPEG files.
The HD-A30's connectivity suite is solid, although it's missing some step-ups of the more expensive models. For video, it has an HDMI output capable of outputting high-definition video in resolutions up to 1080p, an upgrade over the 1080i-only HD-A3. There's also a component video output, along with standard composite video output, but note the lack of S-Video. For audio, the HDMI output is capable of transmitting multichannel audio soundtracks, as indicated above. There's also an optical digital audio output that can handle standard Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks, as well as a standard analog stereo output. Rounding things out is an Ethernet jack.

February Dental Month Special!
To celebrate Dental Health Month and to increase awareness of dental disease in our pets, Fountain Valley Animal Hospital is offering 10% off of dental cleanings (anesthesia included) during the months of February and March.
Dental disease affects nearly all dogs and cats. It can be as mild as plaque build-up and a little gingivitis to severe issues such as periodontal disease, endodontal disease, tooth loss, and even systemic infection. It's hard to tell if our pets are having difficulty with their teeth at home because many of them show no outward signs of pain or discomfort. Many aspects of dental disease, such as pockets and tooth root resorbtion and infection happen under the gum line where it can't be seen. Call and schedule your appointment today to have your pet's teeth checked out, or if you've been in recently, call to request an estimate for a dental cleaning and evaluation. Taking care of your pet's dental health now can help prevent serious problems in the future!

squash seed starting
I am going to try starting my squash and cucumber plants from seed this year. If I want to transplant them the first week in June, when do I need to start them. ALso do they need to be under flor lights like my tomato seedlings? I want to start them indoors and when they germinate put them in my outdoor greenhouse, or should I keep them outside from the beginning. The greenhouse gets pretty warm and the nights in May will probably be around 50.
Thanks for any help
If you choose to start squash and cucumbers indoors I wouldn't recommend more than, at most, a three week head start. They grow so quickly and are not the easiest to transplant. If you do start them indoors they will need the same intensity lighting as your tomato plants. Your greenhouse conditions sound very good.
Remember, if you start anything indoors, under lights, or under glass, it will have to be hardened off to UV light, or else it will burn, and probably die, when you put it out. I suspect, if you have a greenhouse you know all about this : )
I'm personally contemplating starting just one such vine crop (and at that, just one plant) under lights, just to try to get a week or two head start on the harvest. But, as a rule, I don't mess with this, since it takes up space and time, and these crops grow so quickly when direct seeded.
Our last frost date is April 15. I'm just now thinking of starting something indoors like a watermelon or a squash. So my recommendation to you is to count back about 2 1/2 weeks, three at most, and start your seeds.
Tahlequah, OK
I wouldn't even mess with starting squash or cucumber seeds indoors or in greenhouse....especially cucumbers. They are fast growing...only takes about 65 days to produce the fruit.
As for squash they really don't like to have their roots disturbed and sometimes will go into shock when transplanted...which will set back plant or even kill it sometimes.
We plant over 1000 hills of pumpkins and squash each year usually in May and have had complete success planting seeds in ground. We plant cucumbers in late May and have cucumbers by late July/early August.
If you want seeds to grow faster use organic fertilizer....like seaweed/kelp mixture and your plants will take off really quickly.
Good luck!!

Final Score: Detroit 5, Nashville 2
Detroit, MI (Sports Network) - Pavel Datsyuk had two goals and an assist as
the Detroit Red Wings downed the Nashville Predators, 5-2, at Joe Louis Arena.
Patrick Eaves, Brad Stuart and Tomas Holmstrom each had a goal for the Red
Wings, who have won four of their last five. Chris Osgood made 23 saves in the
"It was a good bounce-back game for him," said Detroit head coach Mike Babcock
about Osgood. "He played well in the second period and held us in there. It's
important that he plays real well for us when he gets his chance to start and
he did that tonight."
Kevin Kline and Joel Ward each lit the lamp for the Predators, who have
dropped their past two. Pekka Rinne was tagged for all five goals on 28 shots
in the loss.
"We came out strong and then we take penalties and give them the momentum,"
said Kline. "Each period we started came out strong and then we just fell
behind the eight-ball."
At the 12:11 mark of the first period the Red Wings grabbed a 1-0 lead on
Datsyuk's snap shot for his fifth goal of the season.
Stuart's tip-in of a Johan Franzen offering gave Detroit a 2-0 advantage with
1:36 left in the opening frame.
Nashville got one back 7:49 into the second as Ward made it a 2-1 game with
his second goal of the season, but Datsyuk's second goal of the game with 1:18
left in the second gave Detroit a 3-1 edge heading into the third.
Holmstrom scored a power-play goal off a tip-in of a Nicklas Lidstrom shot at
the 4:18 mark of the third for a 4-1 advantage.
Eaves scored on a wrister a bit over two minutes later to give Detroit a four-
goal edge.
Kline's blast from the point got past Osgood near the midway mark of the frame
to make it a 5-2 contest.

Detroit hits the road for the next three games starting in Calgary on

Finance Minister K. M. Mani announced in the Assembly on Thursday that the age limit for appointments through PSC would be raised from 35 to 36 years.
Replying to the general debate on the Budget, the Minister said that this was part of measures being taken to ensure that the youth would not lose job opportunities because of the government decision to increase the age of superannuation to 56 years. The age limit for reserved categories of applicants for jobs would also go up by one year.

What i rly think this game needs is to have portraits of your team members on the side yo ucan see their hp from whereever you are this would help alot and make it easier to be aware. Also if you hover over the portrait it should show your friends cooldowns, skill ranks, and does he have mana for them, it would stop the fail ganks and would help team paly alot. This has already been implemented in HoN is working very well. Im not saying to steal the idea but learn from it and mby make it a little bit better.

your not gimping yourself..
like a lot of choices it all comes back to how you play the game. If you prefer space combat more over ground then leaving ground alone for the most part IS NOT going to affect your gameplay that much...Whatever the naysayers want you to believe. Sorry...but it's true. I'm geared for all about the space pvp end of things and magicly...i'm still able to function in stf's during the ground parts...amazing...I know.
If you want..wait for the season 4 drop and play it out on some repeat missions from your captain's replay in your ready room. If it feels good to you then go ahead and dump a lil SP love in your ground skills. I personally won't bother cuz' i already know what I would have verses what I already have. See for yourself and disregard the doom and gloom soapbox squad that try to force their 'gameplay' on ya'. See what happens...You may discover a better way of doing things that will have these 'leeches' swarming all over you for YOUR build advice XD.

Post Rock
Post Rock is a genre of alternative rock characterized by the use of musical instruments commonly associated with rock music, but using rhythms, harmonies, melodies, timbre, and chord progressions that are not found in rock tradition. Simply put, it is the use of 'rock instrumentation' for non-rock purposes. Practitioners of the genre's style typically produce instrumental music. As with many musical genres, the term is arguably inadequate as a concise descriptor: for example, Don Caballero and Tortoise were among the more prominent bands of the 1990s described as post rock...

kingmustang (Jun 30, 2010)
Ok, so I saw this fourm and decided to see if anyone would like my story. I've already posted it on anther site, but if you guys here like it I'll post more.
This has nothing to do with Twilight! I named it before I even knew of Twilight's existence and had already posted it several times.
Wolf Twilight
Sparks and blades flew everywhere. The only thing visible is the clashing of the metal. Two skilled warriors are locked in a battle surrounded by others who are, as well, locked in an endless battle. They swing high and low neither advancing. Their swords set ablaze from the shear intensity of the warrior's skills. Now they can see, now they can fight. Their fight almost takes to the skies from the power of the swings. The flames dance a deadly dance spelling death and destruction for all who stood in its path.
Chapter 1 the first glimpse:
The real story begins in modern day America. Aw, crap I'm late again. She is going to be so pissed at me. Huh, what's this? She's not here. Where could she be? "Hi Arc sorry I'm late" Amy shouted as she ran towards Arc Wolf. "Well well, look who's late today" he said while he sighed. "Hey, don't give me that. I saw you running here before me!" she said as she glared at him. "Aw, almost got away with it." he announced as he guided her into the restaurant.
As they sat and waited for their food, Arc's eyes wondered to the street out side. As he sat and watched he saw two men in black trench coats across the street. As he watched them he noticed they both started to turn and look. "Arc, Arc Wolf!" she half shouted. "Huh, what? Oh, sorry." he snapped back into attention. "Are you going to always ignore me like that?! Well any ways I..." she was interrupted by screams. "Amy turn around!" he shouted. "What... what is that!" A deafen roar like sound came form a ball of fire in the ski as it entered the atmosphere.
When Arc regained conciseness he was in a stretcher being taken to a hospital. "Wha, what happened?" he murmured while trying to think back. The medic looked down in surprise and answered, "Try not to talk. Something happened your all right now." Arc was about to ask about Amy, but fainted before he could. When he reawakened he was in a hospital bed in a room that was completely empty except for a TV and some open curtains. Why is it so empty, shouldn't there be more people? If he survived there have to be more, right? Maybe he was the last one taken in and he got the empty room. That makes sense he thought to him self.
"Yes sir, understood. I'll get right to it." The man in the black trench coat hung up the phone and looked at his partner "Well Zeta it starts." he said calmly. "Yes Alpha it does." Arc jerked up right in the darkness of the night breathing heavily and painfully he laid back down. It was a dream, only a dream. As he settled back into his bed he thought about Amy, and what happened at the restaurant. Did it hit them directly, what was it? It wasn't a meteor it wasn't even solid. It was like a mass of destruction. "Argh, I can't remember," he whispered in anger while he tried to remember the impact or for that matter almost anything. He did remember Amy, he also remember the worried look on her face but anything after that was a blank.
The next day the nurses ran medical tests. The results were astonishing. There was no sign of injury at all. As Arc Wolf waited in the vacant room he'd been in he turned on the news. " A so called meteor impact has devastated this poor town of Twilight. This is all that is left after the fire ball collided with this restaurant." Arc looked at the restaurant he'd been in. Or at least he thought it was, there was nothing left except ruble. How had he survived? As the news went on " There have been roomer of one survivor. How anyone survived I would not know." Wait one survivor? That means just him? "Why me?!" he almost shouted as a nurse came into the room. "Oh, um… you shouldn't be watching the news, umm…" Arc cut her off "Is there anyone else?" she responded hesitantly "Well, it was a meteor and for anyone to have survived especially one with not even a scratch is a miracle in itself." He needed to know about Amy "Was there a body of a sixteen year old girl?" The nurse looked puzzled "No, no there wasn't why?" Arc was puzzled but answered, "I just thought I saw one." He couldn't risk them thinking he's crazy, but what happened to Amy?
Chapter two True Calling:
He was to be released the today. The first thing he would do is go to the restaurant he'd been at. The police probably won't let him in but he just wants to see it. Thankfully for him the fact that he was at the restaurant was kept quiet. When he walked out side he started to head back towards the restaurant when he saw the two guys in black trench coats that he saw in his dream. He ignored it and went towards the restaurant.
As he walked down the street he felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked and it was them. "Come with us and there will be no problems" the one he thinks is Alpha tightened his grip. "Why would I do that?" Arc said as he brushed off Alpha's grasp. The one called Zeta replied, "Well if you don't things might get messy." Arc glared at them and said "I've been through a lot in these last few days and I don't need this right now so I suggest you leave me alone." Zeta smirked "Ok if that's the way you want it." Zeta through a punch that Arc couldn't even see, but thankfully he has bad aim and missed. He threw another and Arc put his hands up to block. He stopped his punch right before it hit him.
"Alpha I thought you said he couldn't control his powers yet." Alpha replied "he can't his powers are acting on there own. I guess we'll use the stun gun then." Alpha pulled out a gun that looked like a cross between a pistol and a taser. He aimed at Arc and shot. Alpha grinned, "Well I put a bit to much in it. I guess now you won't put up a fight, seeming as you'll be knocked ou…" he got cut off by a kick to the face. "Crap we can't fight here. She knows her powers. We'll be back." The retreated and the savior looked down but Arc's vision was blurry. "Arc. Arc Wolf! Well I guess you will always ignore me then" he passed out after that.
"What is this?" he asked as he saw the whole city get totally destroyed. "What's doing this?!" he wondered "Ah, so you do seek me Arc Wolf. Well then turn around!" Arc turned around only to see a giant monster. It was in the darkness of the night. The only time he got a glimpse of it was when the flames from the building behind him flickered over to them. It looked like a giant wolf demon. It had a wolf shape but there was no fur only charcoaled skin. It started to reach for him.
"Arc wake up! Stop screaming." Arc woke up to a campfire and the person who saved him. "Sorry bad dream. I never got to thank you for… Amy?!" he asked astonished. "Yup, yup, you didn't think I was going to die from that did you?" Amy replied. "Well you always were stubborn, but it destroyed the restaurant how did you…" Amy interrupted "How did you? We have a lot to talk about." She explained how when the fireball hit Arc Wolf had somehow put up a shield. How the men in black trench coats were talking on their phones after it hit. She explained how she went to find them but they disappeared. "That does explain a lot, but how can I or you use these powers?" he asked. "Powers… oh you mean the Twilight Animals. While you were in the hospital I was looking for the same answers. I found this book in the old library." She pulled out an old book that had weird symbols on the cover. "Where in the old library did you find that, and for that fact how did you get in it was locked down?" he asked as he stared at the old book. " Well when a giant fire ball hits the town no one is looking at the old library. And as for where I found it, well it actually found me. I was walking towards it and this voice called me in. I found the book and when I opened it I could read the symbols. It was almost like the pages were talking to me." She explained while opening the book.
She started reading it " When the stars align, I assume that means when the planets align which was the day of the fireball, a ball of fire will mark the start of the end. Heroes will rise and fall, but one will remain to fight the tyrant." She stopped reading to show him the picture of the tyrant. "That's him. I saw him in my dream. He was destroying everything." She stared at him for a second "Then it's official you are the Wolf Twilight." The rest of the night was silent.
Please comment on it, likes or dis likes. I'll have to post them up in segments like this.

Chapter 4 More Twilights:
The next day they went back to training. "Ok Arc this is for your Wolf's Might. It will give you incredible strength. Focus on your arm muscles. Once you think you have it pick up that boulder." He nodded and focused. He felt jolts of power flow through his arms. "Ok, I'm ready." He walked up to the boulder and started to lift it. "Hey, Arc Wolf!" he turned "Amy wha…" he dropped the boulder. "You need to concentrate that's what. Don't get distracted." He glared at her "Yeah, well… I mean you… fine." He focused again. Again he felt the jolts of power. He lifted the boulder. Then Amy let out a scream that hurt his ears. He turned around and almost lost the boulder again. "Ah, nice try Amy…. Amy?" he threw the boulder, "Aw, crap."
"Where do these freaking tracks end? I've been following them for ten minuets now with my Wolf Sprint. I have to be close. Huh, what's this? The tracks disappeared." Arc looked around for a clue and heard a voice from above. "Hey, you! Your with them aren't you?!" He looked up "With who, you're the one that took Amy aren't you? Give her back." He smirked "If you want her back you can take her back!" he jumped down. He had green shaggy hair. He looked about sixteen Arc's age. He had a green jacket with a white bolt going vertically across the middle of the jacket. He had plain blue jeans, and white sneaks with a red line on the out side. "So, her name was Amy was it? Hmm… Pink hair and eyes, and a blue jacket with a white tee shirt under it. Plain blue jeans and pink shoes. I want to say clam but stubborn. Now for you. Long red hair, red eyes. A black jacket with a white tee shirt under it. Plane black jeans and black sneakers… I'm going to say punk." He smiled "Well, punk can you take me?" Arc growled as he spoke "We're going to see aren't we!"
They both stood still for a moment to focus. The green haired kid mad the first attack. It was a raging upper cut then a spinning kick. Arc dodged the punch and blocked then grabbed his leg. He started to spin and threw him into a tree, which then fell over backwards. He sprung up with a flying tackle and landed a solid hit, which threw Arc to the ground. Arc did a handspring, which he turned into a double kick on his way up and managed to land on top of the green haired kid. He was about to start punching him when he felt a hand on top of his. He turned to find Amy holding his fist back. "Amy, you're ok!" The green haired kid looked at Amy "Your right he's got talent." Amy smiled and responded, "Well of course he does." Arc looked back at the green haired kid then back to Amy "Wait, say what?" Arc got up and the green haired kid followed. "Arc this is Steven." "Hello Arc nice to make your acquaintance." He said as he held out his hand. Arc shook his hand "Hi, will someone tell me what's going on?" Amy explained that he kidnapped her thinking she was with Alpha and Zeta. After she explained everything they decided to test him. "Ok, so you were kidnapped and then decided to test me?" He asked. "Uh, yeah." Steven answered. "Wait, Steven are you a Twilight Animal too?" he nodded "Yup Wolverine Twilight at your service." Arc looked at everyone "Well then what next?"
Chapter 5 Rematch:
While the three of them sat at the campfire eating the fish they just caught they thought about the day the fireball hit. "Hey, Steven where were you when the fireball hit." He asked to break the silence. "I was in the park beside the restaurant. What about you?" Arc finished the bite of food he had in his mouth "Amy and I were in the restaurant." Steven looked up at Arc "So you're the Wolf Twilight?" Arc looked at Steven "I guess so. How did you know about that though? We have the book." Steven smiled "Someone's family had to write it right? The knowledge has been passed down for generations." Amy chimed in "How, then, did you get the book to practically speak to me?" Steven finished his fish "We infused it with the ability to speak to the Fox Twilight… I guess your it then aren't you Amy?" Amy thought for a second "Fox Twilight, I like that."
Arc held up his hand for silence "Be quiet I just heard someone." Everyone focused on their senses. Amy looked up "Arc, I think you heard that rabbit." Arc turned around "Yeah, probably, sorry about that." Steven was still focusing "Wait there's more… move!!!" They all jumped back just in time to dodge a spinning kick "Oh, so you've learned some things Arc Wolf" Arc stood up "Zeta! That was a dirty attack." Steven was focused on Zeta "So you're one of them aren't you? Your one of the Death Twilights!" Zeta smirked "You know your stuff. Death Twilight Serpent nice to meet you all." Arc focused on his muscles "That fireball was it your fault?" Zeta started laughing "No not me, that was Alpha. Personally I would have liked to kill all of you with my own hands, but enough talk let's fight!"
Zeta lunged at Amy, But Arc ran In front of her a grabbed his fist. "So you think this is some kind of game Zeta!?" Arc threw him into a tree and dropkicked him through. Zeta quickly got up and punched Arc in the face. Steven jumped in and restrained him. Zeta spun his body and slipped out of Steven's grasp. Amy was running to attack, but Arc sped by. His eyes were blood red wolf eyes. His hands and feet had claws and started to look like a wolf's. Zeta turned in time to dodge the first swipe, but the second made a hit. Arc's claws tore through his clothing and revealed scales. Zeta tumbled for a few seconds before regaining his balance. "Fine, that's the way you want to play it Arc Wolf?" Arc started growing fangs and Zeta grew snake teethe and tongue. "Sssso, issss thisss what you wanted?" Alpha's voice rang into everyone's head "Zeta, that's enough." Zeta calmed down and went back to normal "So be it. I'll be back." Zeta left so fast you could barely see him. With Zeta gone they focused on Arc who still had wolf appendages. Amy tried to calm "Arc, it's ok. Calm down" Arc reverted back to normal, but then fainted. Amy caught him and laid him down Steven walked over "He probably fainted from the stress, but what was that?"

A true red rhododendron?
I need a smaller rhodie for the north side of my house. I am really looking for something red - not pink, but I'm having a hard time finding one. I found Nova Zembla, a very nice red, but it's too big. I have only three feet from my house to my property line. Everything else I see is either pink, lilac or yellow. I really want a red to plant next to my annabelle hydrangeas.
Any suggestions for zone 5?
Here are a couple:
Firestorm: Flower openly funnel-shaped, wavy edges, 3 1/4" across, bright deep red, unmarked. Dome-shaped trusses of 15-16. Height in 10 years is 3 ft. Hardy to -25°F (-32°C) Leaves elliptic, apiculate apex, rounded base, flat, 4 1/2" to 6" long, dark green with lighter midribs, retained 3 years. New foliage is lime colored. Spreading habit. It is available from Greer Gardens in Eugene, Oregon
Rangoon: Flower widely funnel-campanulate, wavy lobes, 2" across, moderate to dark red. No markings. Held in dome-shaped truss of 7-8 flowers. Height in 10 years is 3 ft. Hardy to -15°F (-26°C). Leaves elliptic, apiculate apex, cuneate base, 3 3/8" long, dark green, retained 2 years. Plant width 2x the height. It is available from Rare Find Nursery in Jackson, NJ
It depends where you buy it and what inventory they have. I doubt that there are a lot of rhododendron nurseries near Milwaukee, so you may have to pay a lot for shipping a larger plant from any distance.
Greer's plants are 6" to 10" tall and cost about $21 plus shipping.
For a larger plant you may have to talk to your local nurseries and see if they can get a larger Firestorm put on the next truck load of plants they get. Many wholesalers such as Monrovia do have Firestorm.
No, Firestorm is a cross of Vulcan x Chocolate Soldier. It is a large leaved rhododendron (elepidote). It contains R. griffthianum, R. griersonianum, and open-pollinated R. catawbiense.
PJM's are crosses R. minus x R. dauricum and subsequent crosses of these crosses. PJM's are small leaved rhododendrons (lepidotes).
Deer will eat any rhododendron when they are hungry enough. I always use deer netting in the winter to protect all of my rhododendrons. When there is snow on the ground the deer eat just about anything that is green except spruce.
Rhodyman, I think they have a couple months below -30F in Milwaukee.
I flew from Atlanta to Milwaukee in April. When I left, it was all lush green. I fell asleep on the airplane. When I woke up  I saw a large frozen lake and leafless trees covered with snow and ice.
Hi Snasxs,
A frozen lake indicates a long period below +31F and deciduous trees loose their leaves in winter and new ones emerge in Spring a little later in Milwaukee than in Atlanta. The record low temperature is -26F in the city and -40F in the suburbs. The normal winter low is +13F. Since they get lake effect snow, plants such as rhododendrons get some buffering from the bitter cold by the snow.
I agree that a rhododendron would struggle in their coldest winters.
Only +13F as low temperature in Milwaukee?! How about Madison? I have a hard time believing your rosy picture of the freezing region. If winter low is +13F, it is like zone 7.
BTW, here in Virginia, I saw a lot of Azaleas. One is a dark red shrub. The leaves and flowers are very small. But the over-all effect of the round-shaped large-bush is wonderful. Do you know what kind it is?
Rhody, the two reds you introduced are beautiful. But this one is different.
The flowers are single. The 5 petals are quite narrow. The size of the flower is really small  about the size of my thumb-nail. But the flower is deep such that the base looks like a tube. The flowers does not look like clustered. They distribute among leaves. The leaves are just as small.
In the spring, the whole shrub is red. The color is really deep red  almost black-red!

Home is not so comforting after all as Dhoni's plan backfires
England v India - pictures
We are unable to carry live pictures from the First Test in Ahmedabad due to a dispute between the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and international news organisations.
The BCCI has refused access to Test venues to established picture agencies Getty Images and Action Images and other Indian photographic agencies.
MailOnline consider this action to be a strike against press freedom and supports the action to boycott BCCI imagery.
One of England's most famous wins must also rank as one of India's most wretched defeats. This series, if local TV is to be believed, was all about revenge – not just for fact of the 4-0 loss in 2011, but for the manner of it, played out in what many Indians have convinced themselves were conditions tailored for an English triumph.
And so India, egged on by MS Dhoni, decided two could play at that game. They denied England any meaningful practice against spin during the three warm-up games – a tactic akin to county sides picking four slow bowlers at home against India – and chose three frontline tweakers for the first time in a Test since the visit of Australia in 2003-04.
Dhoni even expressed dissatisfaction with the pitch at Ahmedabad, despite it being precisely the kind of surface on which England have traditionally struggled: slow, ankle-low, flat as a roti.
Back to the drawing board: Dhoni's plan to spin England out backfired spectacularly
More from Lawrence Booth for the Daily Mail...
- THE TOP SPIN: England are about to embark on 17 Tests in 10 months - a period that will define both captain Alastair Cook and coach Peter Moores 25/03/15
- Kevin Pietersen comeback will NOT save England... forget scurrilous sideshows, the real issue is their not-so-fast bowlers 17/03/15
- England are laughing stock of the Cricket World Cup (again)... so is Peter Moores capable of managing rise for The Ashes? 10/03/15
- England's World Cup shambles owes more to Annie Hall than Moneyball... and you don't need stats to tell you that! 03/03/15
- England have to let Moeen Ali go from the start at World Cup - and why can't ECB mount a decent defence of Alastair Cook? 16/12/14
- Alastair Cook return means more frustration for England - but ECB does not have the nerve to trust Eoin Morgan as captain 09/12/14
- Phillip Hughes death has made cricket stare into its soul. Alastair Cook is right: it's only a game... so let's play it in the right spirit 02/12/14
- England need to turn up the power in Sri Lanka to have any chance at World Cup 25/11/14
- MS Dhoni must quit India's Test captaincy after awful England tour... his record away from home borders on the scandalous 09/09/14
Had he really wanted to rub English noses in it, he would have demanded three more pitches just like that one. Instead, eyes lit up in the first over of the Test, when Jimmy Anderson – as well as removing Gautam Gambhir – had Matt Prior taking the ball above his shoulder.
Bounce: it's the one ingredient designed to bring England into a Test match in Asia, because it encourages both strokeplay and attacking spin bowlers. India, it turns out, have only one: Pragyan Ojha. England, miracle of miracles, have two.
In the post-match press conference Dhoni stuck manfully to his line about wanting Indian pitches to turn from the first ball, because – he says – this renders the toss less important. Either he's being genuinely philanthropic or hopelessly disingenuous. Lamentably for India, Plan A backfired. And there was no Plan B.
India can quite obviously still win this series, but it might do their long-term prospects the world of good if they stopped taking refuge in the old chestnut of home advantage.
Let's rewind for a moment to 2011, the series in which England supposedly knocked them over on a succession of obliging greentops.
Lord's, the venue for the first Test, is no such thing. It happens to be one of the truest surfaces in the world. India's problem in that game was the early injury to an unfit Zaheer Khan.
At Trent Bridge, India twice blew match-winning positions, reducing England to 124 for 8 on the first day, then eyeing up a decisive first-innings lead when they reached 267 for 4 themselves. That they lost by 319 runs had little to do with the conditions.
Famous win: England twice came from behind to beat India at Trent Bridge last year
For cricket-related snippets from England's tour of India, go to twitter.com/the_topspin
At Edgbaston, England scored 710 for 7 against an Indian attack containing three seamers. Again, if that really was a seaming track, it was simply the case that India failed to exploit it.
And at The Oval, they lost seven wickets after tea on the final day on a typically flat Kennington pitch and with the game ripe for the saving.
But the narrative that emerged from that series was a convenient one: India had been diddled by home advantage. What hope did they have?
At Edgbaston, Gautam Gambhir suggested life would be less congenial for England when they arrived in India. And at Ahmedabad, it most certainly was. Yet England, to their eternal credit, refused to panic, even if Stuart Broad betrayed their tetchiness on Twitter.
Here, though, we come to another twist: England's win in Mumbai was essentially the work of four men, with a little help from Nick Compton. And all four played out of their skins.
Bowled him: Gautam Gambhir loses his wicket at Edgbaston last year
To apply the law of averages, you might think Alastair Cook is due a failure at Kolkata after scoring 357 runs at 119 in the first two Tests, while Kevin Pietersen's extra-terrestrial innings tend not to occur more than once a series. (This is not a dig, just an observation.)
Equally, it remains unclear who should partner Anderson as the second seamer at Eden Gardens. Will Steven Finn be fit? Will Broad be in the right frame of mind? Will Tim Bresnan even be considered?
Just as the Ahmedabad win glossed over India's own deficiencies, so Mumbai runs the risk of over-inflating England. The champagne-glass half-full will have tasted sweet last night.
But the glass half-empty tells you that the normally grounded Jonathan Trott looks at sea against spin, Ian Bell will have to start again – assuming he returns in place of Jonny Bairstow – and Samit Patel is yet to make a serious impact.
And that is the beauty of a Test series longer than three matches. This series has time for the subplots to work their magic or do their worst. England can either make history – or repeat it.
No laughing matter
Even in the aftermath of England's historic win in Mumbai came a sense of the touchiness that has been close to the surface ever since the loss in Ahmedabad. Speaking about England's constant claims over the past few months about how their batting has improved against spin, Alastair Cook suggested that 'you guys were probably laughing a little bit' – as if the media were walking around revelling in the latest collapse.
Nothing could be further from the truth. It's no fun writing the same old story time and again. If there was any laughter at the Wankhede, it came from a mixture of pleasure and relief: the best tale is the most unexpected one.
Backs to the wall: Cook felt the media were against England after Ahmedabad
Enough is enough
What has happened to the umpiring in this series? At times, the lbw and bat-pad decisions have resembled guesswork. When Aleem Dar turned down Monty Panesar's appeal for the wicket of Pragyan Ojha, who had gloved him to backward short leg, he almost deserved our sympathy.
While the BCCI's objection to the DRS looks more absurd by the howler, could it be that umpires who have grown used to officiating with the comfort blanket of technology have subsequently lost their bearings without it? With DRS, a mistake does not remain a mistake for long; without it, the pressure is on. The need for the ICC's other Full Members to drag India into line is more urgent than ever. Don't hold your breath.
A twisted kind of logic
Why does Kevin Pietersen's for-the-ages 186 demand an apology from those who suggested England were right to drop him in the summer? Answer: it doesn't. It takes a wilfully bone-headed type of logic to claim that KP has shown England what they have been missing, since he was never dropped for a lack of runs in the first place.
Beer we go: England celebrate their win in Mumbai
If that proves a little tricky to grasp, then this should be more straightforward: it was Pietersen himself who retired from one-day international and Twenty20 cricket, Pietersen himself who warned that the Lord's Test against South Africa could be his last. The one good thing to come from the texting furore was that it brought to a head tensions that had been simmering for months. Now, can we just get on with enjoying the rest of his career?
Let's hear it for Tests
On the same day that England were beating India in Mumbai, South Africa completed a fantastic rearguard in Adelaide, where Test debutant Faf du Plessis batted for 14 minutes short of eight hours to make a mockery of those who claimed the game was already Australia's. The two matches had as much in common as the batting of Cook and Pietersen – yet both contrasts were a reminder of the endless fascination of Test cricket. We're lucky to have it.

The Journey (Part Two)
One would think that planning for a foreign trip would be easy.
One would be wrong!
Especially, if the trip is to Poland. So many questions and yet so few answers.
Many have asked:
"Why on earth would you want to go there?"
"Did you lose family in the camps?"
I'd considered making such a trip years ago, but as indicated previously neither of the women I've lived with expressed any desire to undertake such a trip. Even when our Rabbi told us to think of it as a pilgrimage, Wifey stated categorically that seeing one camp – Dachau – was more then enough for her.
So when my son proposed the trip, I really didn't think twice and agreed to go almost immediately. They question was one of timing. Since I am retired, I am readily available.
In reality, my son's schedule dictated the time available for our trip. As a Federal Prosecutor he must juggle his caseload and clear time. He's done that and we are off soon.
Lately, I've done more than my share of Holocaust reading having finished "Sarah's Key" and "Carry Me Across The Water" this past week. I've been reading about the history of Poland, the impact of the Jewish civilization on the country and what its loss has meant to it. I read Erik Larson's superb "In The Garden Of The Beasts" about pre-war Berlin from the perspective of the American Ambassador to Germany. I've read many of the works of Alan Furst which cover the period just before the war in a number of European countries.
In the past, I've read just about everything by Elie Wiesel in an unsuccessful attempt to understand the psyche of both the victims and of their oppressors. I've read I.B. Singer's work to try to better understand the shtetl and even some Shalom Aleichem.
My brother in law in London recently sent me "On The Eve", the story of Jewish life in Europe before the Second World War. His parents spoke often about their life in Germany before they had the good sense to see what was coming and leave. For my in-laws the time was 1934 when they moved to Florence, Italy. Keeping an eye on the evolving situation, they departed for the United States in 1938. They and their families were the lucky ones. Only great-grandmother refused to leave and was a victim. An uncle by marriage also survived. In his situation it was the camps. It wasn't until late in his life when he began to discuss what life under the Nazis had been like. Fortunately, he made a Shoah tape for Steven Spielberg's on-going remembrance project.
How can one understand how my fellow religionists were simultaneously feared and despised as an alien presence in countries where it was the practice to keep them separated? Yet, by the 1920s Jewish life was thriving throughout Europe. They were citizens in the countries where they lived. Considered the best-educated ethnic group in Europe, it looked like that for the first time in history, Jews could be considered part of the essential life of their country of residence.
Yet, in just a few short years, the Nazis managed to once again make the Jew, the "other", the Christ-killer, the alien.
And the population of most of Europe, looked the other way to what was happening. Dachau is just a short bus ride away from Munich, a city of culture and refinement. Krakow was the cultural center of Polish thought and music. The major extermination camps are so close to the city that it's impossible to believe the population didn't know what was going on. Trains full of people continuously moved in, no one came out.
So many questions.
And perhaps so few answers.
I don't know what I'll find there, how I deal emotionally with what we do learn, and how it may change either of us.
Please stay tuned!

The Vatican Tour was will worth it. The tour guides were excellent. We would definitely recommended going on the tour for the information and sights that were shown to us. If you ever visit Rome the Vatican is a must to see.
This tour was amazing!
I had been to Vatican about 25 years ago on my own, but it was a lot better with a tour guide who could show you some of the important things at the site and give you some good background. We really enjoyed the tour even though we could not see the entire St Peter's Basilica since there was an event taking place there. Other basilicas were also very nice and all of tour guides were very nice and knowledgeable. This was a GREAT tour.
loved this tour. Our tour guide Rachael was fabulous.
I enjoyed the tour , and really enjoyed not having to stand in those long lines that I saw . The lines seem like they went own forever .
This tour is made up of 2 tours, a morning tour and an afternoon tour. Both of which were very good. I had Anjelica as my guide for the morning tour of St Peters Basilica, the Vatican museum and Sistine Chapel. The afternoon tour was where we visited the other 3 Basilicas and the Holy Steps . Unfortunately I can't remember the name of our guide but she was once again very knowledgeable and interesting.
Mr. John
United States of ...
Excellent. Highly recommended.
This was a full day tour in 2 parts. Our St. Peter's guide was very efficient and knowledgeable and got us through the crowds without missing a beat. The skip the line aspect was great--we walked past a long line that encircled St. Peter's Square right into the Vatican. The 2nd part toured the other 3 Papal Basilicas--St. John Lateran, St Paul's outside the wall, and St. Mary Maggiore. Our guide Lindy was upbeat, very pleasant and very knowledgeable and kept us moving and interested on what could have been a much less interesting tour with a lesser guide.
Wonderful, our tour guide Alexis truly enjoys her job. Very knowledgeable, willing to answer any questions, lovely personality. Would recommend this tour, a must see, job well done.
We expected this tour to be the highlight of our trip, and our expectations were exceeded. We had two knowledgeable and friendly guides: Daniella in the morning and Rebecca in the afternoon. Both were funny and patient with herding wandering tour members. Definitely will take this tour again on our next visit to Rome. Two thumbs up!
It was really laid back and our tour guide is very pleasant and knowledgeable.
Guide was very good
I can't recommend this trip enough. whether you are a devout catholic or a curious traveler, this tour is for you. Our tour guide explained the in depth history of the Vatican and its secret symbology of its art along with the three other basilicas not found in the Vatican. This tour is a must for both the devout and the curious travelers.
So happy that we had this tour guide. She was helpful, knowledgeable, and insightful with her answers.
Skip the line is a must at the Vatican.

Search levelup/leveldb instances with pluggable query engines and pluggable indexing schemes.
A generic pluggable query-engine system (that supports indexes) for levelup/leveldb databases.
Using this architecture you can query your levelup database using your own query langauge with full index support.
Query languages currently supported
Here is a list of the query plugins that are currently written and work with
- jsonquery-engine - MongoDB query language implemented for levelup WITH indexing!
- fulltext-engine - Query your levelup/leveldb engine using full text search phrases with full text indexing.
- path-engine - Simple javascript object "path" syntax query langauge implemented for levelup WITH indexing.
Write YOUR own query language plugins to run on top of levelup, and get the full benefit if indexing for highly-performant lookups!
Why is this needed?
Because while it is relatively easy to programatically write your own stream filters to query levelup, making efficient use of indexes (particularly when multiple indexes may be available) is painful.
This module allows you to write your own index implementations and query languages and have the query engines work out what the best indexes are to use.
Query languages will generally have a declarative syntax that specifies what fields are to be retrieved, and this can be used to identify indexes, and then most efficiently retrieve your data.
Install via npm:
$ npm install level-queryengine
Example Usage with the jsonquery-engine:
var levelQuery = require'level-queryengine' jsonqqueryEngine = require'jsonquery-engine' pairs = require'pairs' levelup = require'levelup' db = levelQuerylevelup'my-db'; dbqueryusejsonqueryEngine; // index all the properties in pairs dbensureIndex'*' 'pairs' pairsindex; // alternatively you could just index the properties you want: // db.ensureIndex('num'); // db.ensureIndex('tags'); dbbatchmakeSomeData // compound mongodb / jsonquery query syntax dbquery $and: tags: 'tag1' num: $lt: 100 on'data' console.log on'stats' // stats contains the query statistics in the format // { indexHits: 1, dataHits: 1, matchHits: 1 }); ;;
Example Usage with the fulltext-engine:
var levelQuery = require'level-queryengine' fulltextEngine = require'fulltext-engine' levelup = require'levelup' db = levelQuerylevelup'my-db'; dbqueryusefulltextEngine; // index the properties you want (the 'doc' property on objects in this case): dbensureIndex'doc' 'fulltext' fulltextEngineindex; dbbatchmakeSomeData // will find all objects where 'my' and 'query' are present dbquery'doc' 'my query' on'data' console.log on'stats' // stats contains the query statistics in the format // { indexHits: 1, dataHits: 1, matchHits: 1 }); ; // will find all objects where 'my' OR 'query' are present dbquery'doc' 'my query' 'or' on'data' console.log on'stats' // stats contains the query statistics in the format // { indexHits: 1, dataHits: 1, matchHits: 1 }); ;;
Example Usage with the path-engine:
var levelQuery = require'level-queryengine' pathEngine = require'path-engine' levelup = require'levelup' db = levelQuerylevelup'my-db'; dbqueryusepathEngine; // index the properties you want: dbensureIndex'num'; dbbatchmakeSomeData // will find all objects with the num field set to 42 dbquery'num' 42 on'data' console.log on'stats' // stats contains the query statistics in the format // { indexHits: 1, dataHits: 1, matchHits: 1 }); ;;
Returns a function which you call on your levelup instance to add query and indexing capabilities. Eg:
var levelQuery = require'level-queryengine' levelup = require'levelup' db = levelQuerylevelup'my-db';
Sets the query engine to use for subsequent
#query calls.
queryEngine plugin is simply an object that returns the following functions:
// example query: query match: matchfn plans: 'property': propertyPlanFn 'pairs': pairsPlanFn ;
query(function) - will be called by
db#query, to execute the query. It must return an index stream (of indexes - see subindex) if indexes can be used OR
nullif no indexes can be used and a full levelup database "table" scan will commence instead.
match(objectToMatch, query)(function) - a function that will be used as a final filter on the object stream generated. This function must return
trueif the

objectToMatchmatches the query. This is also used in the event of table scan to do the bulk of the filtering.
plans- a map of index strategy types to "plan" functions which take a subquery of the query execution, and return an indexStream if indexes can be used for the subquery, or
nullif no index can be used (which will cause a full levelup database "table" scan. Plan functions are used to divide responsibility between generating complicated compound queries (which may need to AND or OR the resultantant stream of index keys), to a simple subquery which works out what indexes to use. See the implementations of jsonquery-engine and path-engine for more details. By exposing the internals of the query plans it allows for people to write their own implementations of the query engines to run over other indexing strategies.
query using the current query engine, and returns a stream of values.
This project is under active development. Here's a list of things I'm planning to add:
- add time taken to the statistics reporting
- make the
indexHitsreporting more accurate for compound queries that depend on ANDs and ORs of streams.
- allow for multiple query engines to be used at the same time
- Do a SQL based query engine reference implementation (just for kicks!).
- Add joins to some of the reference implementations.
