When do you?
So, I know what the calendar says but when do you like to start your seeds for fall tomatoes? Hot peppers? Sweet peppers? Do you direct seed your cabbage, broccoli and other brassicas or do you like to start those indoors? When do you start them?
It's always seemed so hot when the calendar says to start these things that I haven't believed it, then when I do start them, it's too late. Last year all I got was a bunch of tomato flowers and bean flowers.
Of course, now I have a full sun garden, I may end up frying my seedlings instead and wishing I'd just planted in cooler weather.
Tracy, I'm going to start fall tomato seeds indoors late summer, August maybe.
Last year I sowed broccoli seed directly outside in late October and they did really well. I was thinking I should have reseeded every few weeks for a more continuous crop. I planted them in my 'Cinder Block Garden'. :-) Here's a pic in early Dec
Those bushes behind the broccoli are chiltepin plants which died back in the cold snaps we had. They are struggling to come back. One or two look really good, others not so much.
Thanks MissionGardens. I got the idea from someone on another forum. I painted each block with some roof insulating rubberized stuff but even with that I doubt I can plant anything in them in summer. It worked great for my fall/winter/spring garden. Carrots are good that way too. Also some garlic.
I don't expect to have to start new tomato plants. The plants I have are thriving with the 60 percent shade cloth that protects them from the afternoon sun. With a little luck they will soon have 4-6" of mulch protecting them too. I expect them all to still be there when the Fall fruiting season starts. I'm much more concerned with what to do about their size. They are already going over the top of their 7' 5" trellis.
If it turns out I'm wrong (Would not be the 1st time.lol) and they start looking sickly. I will just take cuttings and root them indoors and plant them at the appropriate time. No need to start seeds all over again.

By Newsmax Staff
Support for Rudy Giuliani represents a return to liberal Republicanism that would strip the GOP of its hard-won progress on moral, social and cultural issues, warns Pat Buchanan.
In his new column "Conservatism is a Tower of Babel," the GOP strategist and one-time presidential candidate examines Giuliani's political record, concluding that the former New York City mayor and federal prosecutor is certifiably a liberal Rockefeller Republican.
He describes Giuliani as a, "McGovernite in 1972 [who] boasted in the campaign of 1993 that he would 'rekindle the Rockefeller-Javits-Lefkowitz tradition' of New York's GOP and 'produce the kind of change New York City saw with ... John Lindsay.' "
Buchanan points out that Giuliani ran on the Liberal Party ticket and supported Mario Cuomo in 1994.
"Pro-abortion, anti-gun, again and again he strutted up Fifth Avenue in the June Gay Pride parade and turned the Big Apple into a sanctuary for illegal aliens," Buchanan writes. "While Ward Connerly goes state to state to end reverse discrimination, Rudy is an affirmative-action man."
Rudy, Buchanan notes, has attracted "those inveterate opportunists, the neocons, who see in Giuliani their last hope of redemption for their cakewalk war and their best hope for a long war against Islamo-fascism."
Buchanan maintains that a Giuliani presidency would represent a return and a "final triumph of the Republicanism that conservatives went into politics to purge from power. A Giuliani presidency would represent repudiation by the party of the moral, social and cultural content that with anti-communism once separated it from liberal Democrats and defined it as an institution.
"Rudy offers the right the ultimate Faustian bargain," writes Buchanan. "Retention of power at the price of one's soul."

Donald L. Temple, II, 41
CANTERBURY — Donald Lee Temple II, 41, a resident of Canterbury since 2001 died suddenly, Sunday, October 19, 2014. He was born in Concord, Mass., November 22, 1972, son of Donald L. and Kathryn M. (Bolger) Temple. He resided in Laconia for several years before moving to Canterbury. He spent his youth in Concord, Mass., Billerica, Mass. and Sullivan, N.H. and graduated from Monadnock Regional High School in Swanzy, N.H. in 1991. He went on to the University of New Hampshire to study mechanical engineering and then to Southern New Hampshire University graduating with a degree in business administration. A brilliant inventor and engineer, Donald holds several patents. As an entrepreneur, Donald formed and was President of Quick Draw Corp. in Canterbury where he provided patent drawing and engineering services, assisting inventors with making their dreams a reality. An avid skier and snowboarder, he touched the lives of many during his years teaching at Pats Peak, Loon Mountain, Tenney Mountain and Gunstock Mountain. One of his greatest passions was riding his mountain bikes. He could be found most weekends from May to November riding at Highland Mountain Bike Park in Northfield, N.H., where he also worked as a mountain biking instructor. He also rode the local trails as well as trails all over the United States. Donald travelled the world and enjoyed learning new languages, cultures and meeting new people. A lover of animals, he provided a forever home to many cats needing a second chance. He was a strong supporter and member of the National Rifle Association and served as a Safety Officer with the Sunset Mountain Fish and Game Club in Canterbury. He was never afraid to take chances and met every challenge head on. To Donald, it was worth the risk to experience all that life has to offer. He worked hard at everything he put his hand to and gave fully his heart and soul in his work, play and personal relationships. He was a dear and highly valued friend to everyone who knew him.
His family includes his wife of fourteen years, Michelle "Shelly" (Saquet) Temple of Canterbury; parents Donald and Kathryn (Bolger) Temple of Canterbury; brother Christian Temple of Canterbury; maternal grandmother Marie (Hodel) Bolger of Canterbury and paternal grandmother, Doris (Hall) Temple of Uxbridge, Mass.; 13 aunts and uncles and 16 first cousins.

Kenneth P. Glidden
LACONIA — Kenneth Paul Glidden of Laconia, beloved son and only child of the late Frank Benjamin and Agnes (Boudreau) Glidden, was called back peacefully from his home on Oct. 22, 2014. He was born in Laconia in a blizzard and rode out on an autumn storm.
Ken held a Bachelor's of Science and Arts degree in finance from Lowell Technological Institute (with honors), and a Juris Doctor degree from Suffolk University Law School.
He began his professional career in Albany, N.Y., as an accountant for the Albany International Corp. While working in municipal finance for the city of Boston, Ken took night courses at Suffolk to earn his law degree. He continued with the city of Boston during the Kevin White and Ray Flynn administrations.
Ken would, when prodded, share with friends reminiscences of Albany International and Boston government, such as the times when he represented the city, as comptroller of its cultural affairs office, during visits by foreign dignitaries.
Even years later, when Ken strolled around Beacon Hill or sat at the Oyster Bar near City Hall, folks would come up to him, so glad to see him again.
After 14 years of service, Ken retired from Boston City government as first assistant collector/treasurer. Ken returned to New Hampshire where he practiced general and municipal law, criminal defense and prosecution in state and federal courts, and appellate work before the First Circuit. He also used his financial expertise to benefit a variety of public and private entities.
Ken was happiest fishing in Alaska and Canada, locally with Cousin George, lobstering with Ed Heaphy, and boating. He was a consummate Patriots fan. Ken restored homes he lived in on Gilmanton's Shellcamp and took good care of his venerable Laconia home. Ken was a patient, dignified man of uncommon modesty. He had no enemies. Despite his quiet ways, his fearless energy, strength, exuberant laugh and wit are gifts many cherish.
Ken is survived by cousins, Michael Boudreau, Jerry Boudreau and George Boudreau, numerous other Boudreau, Moulton and Tibbetts cousins in the area; by his beloved cats, Iris, Josephine, and Douglas; and partner, Joyce Donohue.
There will be no calling hours or service, according to Ken's wishes. In lieu of flowers or cards, keep Ken in your heart, remember his goodness and light, and consider memorial donations to the New Hampshire Humane Society, PO Box 572 Laconia, NH 03247 or the Central New Hampshire VNA & Hospice, 780 North Main St., Laconia NH 03246.
WilkinsonBeaneSimoneauPaquette Funeral Home & Cremation Services, 164 Pleasant St., Laconia, is assisting the family with the arrangements. For more information and to view an online memorial go to www.wilkinsonbeane.com.

Reporters location:
Coastalwatch surf reporters are the saltiest locals around. Part fish, part shark, part human, they live for the waves and are usually more local than the locals. They'll be up before dawn waiting for first light to reveal the days surf conditions and can sense a change of wind from a sparrows fart. Each reporter covers a region of coastline which includes many number of surf spots and beaches. Please consider there may be possible variations between this report and your local spot due to differences in orientation to the coast and any local idiosyncrasies that may also effect the swell and weather patterns.

Today's rating - Poor
Arvo update - There has been a few rideable 1 footers at Sth Bondi and Tama and even the odd 2ft set at Maroubra. NE windswell. - Earlier report -Very small, in fact it is pretty much flat within the confines of Bondi this morning. Nice conditions with barely a puff of light NNW wind. The wind is forecast to freshen up and tend NE. The swell is in the 1-2ft range absolute max from the ENE, which translates to flatness at Bondi, as most NE swell misses Bondi. Go for a swim, enjoy the sunshine, as a southerly change is due through Sydney tonight. There are some small surfable waves at Maroubra, but we are talking 1-2ft absolute max...Check out the new Depactus surf range in your local surf shop for Easter.

Bigotry Determined Webster's New World Dictionary defines "bigot" as "a person who holds blindly and intolerantly to a particular creed, opinion, etc." and "bigotry" as "the behavior, attitude, or beliefs of a bigot."

Not only are the foreign service alumni fascinating in their own right, the burgeoning group is also delivering more international opportunities for Northwestern Michigan College students, as well as an impressive lineup of speakers at Traverse City's International Affairs Forum.
Invented nearly 6,000 years ago in central Asia, snowshoes are as much a part of the modern winter fabric of northern Michigan as parkas, snow shovels and winter weather advisories.

When the Charlevoix drawbridge is up, traffic sits stopped in both directions. For drivers just trying to get through town, it's a pain to be endured. For diners at the Drawbridge Bistro, though, it's just another part of the attraction.
Aim For More Renewable Energy: "Aim High!" Isn't that a goal for all of us? When I look at states surrounding Michigan and even other countries, they have lofty but attainable goals for increasing their renewable energy. Michigan's goal, set in 2008, to have 10 percent of our energy coming from renewable energy by the end of 2015, is rather pitiful compared to the states that want to attract new industries -- and 2015 is about here.
Market-Based Climate Solution: The International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its "synthesis report" on Sunday, stating states that global climate disruption is happening faster than previously predicted. Therefore, we need to transition to non-carbon forms of energy as quickly as possible.
Snow Removal Through The Years: An 1886 editorial in the Grand Traverse Herald declared, "Something should be done with the snow plow jobs. On such a day as last Saturday the plows should have done a good job of clearing the soft snow from the walks. At best the walks have not been opened so that two persons could walk together with any degree of comfort."
A Living Wage: I frequently hear politicians on both sides say that they are going to create jobs. The recent Proposal 1 which eliminated business personal property taxes was worded to include "create jobs" to trick people into voting yes.
Tax cuts and reduced regulations create profit, not jobs. Consumer demand creates jobs. If a business is operating at only half capacity, that owner will likely lay off employees not hire more. It is only when the business is operating at full capacity that new employees will be hired to keep up with demand. How do we increase consumer demand?
In 1978's The Wiz, Diana Ross was Dorothy Gale, Michael Jackson was the Scarecrow, and a snowstorm swept Gale out of her Harlem, NY apartment.
In the 2007 TV series Tin Man, big-eyed Zooey Deschanel turned Dorothy into "D.G." and Oz became "The Outer Zone" in a more surrealistic, dark approach to the story.
In the stage musical Wicked, the focus has been twisted around to the Wicked Witch of the West, Elphaba, and her good sister, Glinda.
And now, a new Parallel 45 version of The Wizard of Oz is coming to Traverse City to take Dorothy and her friends down yet another road in The Oz Project.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
A middle-class state of mind
It seems everyone is interested in the middle class these days. In Canada, the group of people called "the middle class" is seen to be under duress -- higher taxes, higher prices, stagnant wages and decreasing opportunities. Politicians of all stripes are saying the middle class is neglected -- and this class will be the new focus of their policies and their programs.
This raises the question: Who are the middle class?
The answer can be elusive. If we try to define this group in strictly quantitative terms -- levels of income, wealth, education and so on -- we quickly find ourselves tied up in knots. Is a person who has less than $20,000 a year in income but who owns a house without a mortgage in an area with a low cost of living middle-class or not? How about a couple that has an annual income of $120,000 but is falling behind on monthly payments and an increasingly unsustainable debt load?
Much like attempts to define poverty levels or what constitutes the working poor, a strictly quantitative definition of who is, or who is not, middle-class continues to elude us.
We know the middle class exists. Further, we are told this class constitutes a significant portion of the population and will determine the success or failure of the parties contesting the next election. Again the question needs to be asked: Who are they, and, of importance to political strategists, where can they be found?
More than any quantitative measure, being middle-class is a state of mind. It does have some attributes, such as home ownership, for example, that can be quantified, but it is an attitudinal posture more than a demographic bracket.
If you were to conduct a survey, you would find most Canadians self-identify as members of the middle class. Despite dramatic differences in income, place of residence and education levels, this belief encompasses a broad swath of the population. A retiree with a secure pension is as likely to see themselves as middle-class as a young entrepreneur trying to keep body and soul together. Likewise, an affluent suburban household anxious about impending tuition costs is as likely as an apprentice tradesperson to see themselves as part of this group.
While the amorphous nature of the middle class can be a source of frustration to those who believe in micro-targeting campaign strategies, "class consciousness" or neat social paradigms, our society benefits from an ecumenical and inclusive definition of this key population group.
As students of political behaviour can tell you, the middle class is also the democratic class. Adherence to democratic virtues such as the belief in individual equality, the rule of law, the fair administration of justice and participation in the electoral process, is strongest among those who see themselves as middle-class. They see themselves as neither dependant (as the poor may see themselves) nor independent (as might the wealthy) from society as a whole. Instead, they have a vested interest in maintaining a society that provides ongoing prosperity, security and opportunity.
The middle class is also an aspirational class. Home ownership, or the desire to be a homeowner, is a defining characteristic of this group. An upward career path, or at least the belief that economic security is personally achievable, is also a key attribute of this class.
Given the close correlation between higher levels of education and economic security, it is no surprise the middle class is obsessed with the quality and accessibility of the education system. Affordable post-secondary education, along with quality primary and secondary schools, is the bedrock of their public-policy belief system.
Aspiration also has its anxieties. Illness and age lurk in the shadows for those in the middle class. This is why those in the middle class are strong supporters of a universal health-care system and why they are equally suspicious of "means testing" or user fees, which might restrict their access to care, and two-tier health care, which would advantage wealthier Canadians. They are also strong believers in secure and adequate pensions and, when they grow more frail, quality affordable eldercare.
The middle class in Canada can only be defined by their qualities, not their quantities. Those seeking to appeal to the majority of voters, who are in this class, would do well to remember this.
A resident of Fredericton, N.B., Chris Baker is a former provincial deputy minister and has over 25 years of experience working in public policy, public affairs and public-opinion research.

Prospects set for breakout seasons
These five players on NFL teams' radars could put up huge numbers in 2013
One of the most exciting elements of the 2012 college football season was the emergence of several breakout stars. A number of standout playmakers -- including Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel, Baylor wideout Terrance Williams and Clemson wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins -- ascended from relatively unknown status at the beginning of the season to All-American-caliber status by the end of the campaign.
While Manziel returns to the Aggies for his sophomore season (he could get his NFL shot as early as next April), Hopkins and Williams parlayed their 2012 success into high draft selections, getting picked in the first and third rounds, respectively.
Which players currently on NFL scouts' radars could put up huge numbers this season? Here is a closer look at five prospects who the metrics indicate could be dominant performers in 2013.
De'Anthony Thomas, RB, Oregon Ducks
Thomas has never had an issue with posting big numbers. His 18 touchdowns in 2011 were the most ever scored by an Oregon freshman, and his 7.62 yards per carry was the third-highest mark in the country among running backs with at least 80 carries, according to ESPN Stats & Information.

Nazi Propaganda for the Arab World by Jeffrey Herf Yale, 352 pp., $30
A Mosque in Munich
Read more...
This past weekend Sweden became the latest country in Western Europe to suffer from radical Islamist terrorism.
Perhaps the most basic measure of a country's character is whether people, when given the chance, flood into the country or risk life and limb to escape from it. By this measure, Muslims are flourishing in America. Meanwhile, though Christianity predates Islam by centuries in the Middle East, intensifying persecution has prompted a mass Christian exodus from that region.
Terry Jones may have called off his Koran burning in Florida, but Iraqpundit writes
While its former "partner" and ruler from the other side of India, Pakistan, contends with--and often appears to accommodate--the aggression of the Taliban, Bangladesh (population 160 million, almost entirely Muslim), has quietly adopted a more vigorous policy of legal action to curb Islamist radicals.
A Florida pastor, Terry Jones, has planned to commemorate the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 by burning copies of the Koran. The commanding general of the war in Afghanistan, David Petraeus, however, has warned that Jones's actions will surely lead to incitement and the deaths of Americans fighting the terrorists overseas.
Ground Zero, New York City
A little rain was not enough of a deterrent to keep thousands of protesters of the Ground Zero mosque off of the streets Sunday. The protesters turned out en masse to voice their objections to the proposed construction of an Islamic cultural center, which would include a mosque, at this site of the worst terrorist attack in U.S. history.
Lee Smith considers the concept and implications of sharia in his latest column for Tablet:
With a recent CNN poll showing that 68 percent of Americans oppose the plan to build a mosque in lower Manhattan, close to Ground Zero, it is difficult not to conclude that Americans have begun to take a referendum, not necessarily on their Muslim neighbors, but more generally on what they see as the problems posed by Islam to U.S. liberal democracy. In Washington, Newt Gingrich put a name to it in a speech at the American Enterprise Institute when he identified the problem as "sharia," or what is commonly translated as Islamic law.

In Washington, Newt Gingrich put a name to it in a speech at the American Enterprise Institute when he identified the problem as "sharia," or what is commonly translated as Islamic law.
At the Capitol on Thursday, three United States senators weighed in on the decision to build an Islamic cultural center mere blocks from the site of worst terrorist attack in U.S. history. When questioned about the proposal by THE WEEKLY STANDARD, Senators Johnny Isakson (R., Ga.), Olympia Snowe (R., Maine), and John McCain (R., Ariz.) all called the Ground Zero mosque "insensitive."
The state of California, a major player in the American textbook market, introduces its students to Islam in the seventh grade. For this purpose, the California State Board of Education has recommended the use of, among others, a world history textbook entitled History Alive! The Medieval World and Beyond, issued by the Teachers' Curriculum Institute of Palo Alto.
60 Minutes had a fascinating report last week on what it calls "The Narrative," which "says that the United States is out to destroy Islam," and a man who devotes his life to combating this absurd meme. The man is Maajid Nawaz, who himself was once a radical fundamentalist. It's worth viewing in full:
Since a proposal to construct a 15-story mosque and community center two blocks from Ground Zero was announced last year, the project has been a focus of widening protests. To be named Cordoba House, the project would require demolition of two buildings at 45-47 Park Place and Broadway that were damaged on 9/11. They would be replaced by a glass and steel 100,000-square-foot structure with a new address, 45-51 Park Place.
A thoughtful, interesting, and depressing piece on Obama and his approach to the Muslim world, written by Lee Smith:
Last week, the Albanian Muslims of Kosovo, who have demonstrated their aversion to radical Islam in a series of recent clashes with extremist infiltrators, took another significant step toward ridding their new republic of Muslim fanatics. A self-proclaimed imam, Xhemajl Duka, who had come to Kosovo from his native Albania, was deported back there. The mosque he had erected in the village of Marina, near the central Kosovar city of Skenderaj, was closed by local authorities.

Masterpiece Theater
I'm about half way through watching the new season of Upstairs Downstairs on MP. I love it. I liked Downtown Abby but still think this is so much better. It's really edgy this season....abortion, lesbians!!! Maybe it's because I grew up with Upstaairs Downstairs back in the 70's but this is really great television.
At least here in Chicagoland, PBS will reprise Downton Abbey in December and begin the newer episodes in January.
IMO "Call the Midwife" is superior to both the Abbey and Up/Down. We'll get a 'special' of Midwife here on December 30, but I don't know if there is a sequel.
I love Midwife, too!
I laughed outloud when Chummy finally stood up to her "Mater" (mother) & told her that her wedding would be at the local or village church, her reception would be catered by the nuns, & she was going to wear a suit instead of a wedding dress.
"Well, at least let it be white" begged her mother.
& Chummy said, in her perfect upper clahs accent,
"Sorry, no longer entitled".
I adored the original Up/Down back in the 70's. After doing the dishes on a Sunday evening, I'd close myself in my bedroom to watch it before putting the kids to bed.
Midwife was such a treat and I was sorry to see the season come to an end. My local PBS keeps begging for money to bring us season two. I think I will send a donation.
I have to go back to the beginning of the new Up/Down and catch up.
I do love them all. My sister clued me into the Bomb Girls on REELZ, but out cable does not carry that station. It is about the girls who work in a bomb plant during WWII. Luckily, my daughter gets it and records it, so I do get to see a lot of the shows, though out of order it seems. DD came to the show late, and she picks up repeats when she can.
My DH returned from our library with Series One of "Waterloo Road" -- a 1996 BBC production about teachers in a troubled high school that will be shut down unless academic performance can be improved. The blurb says,"Welcome to Waterloo Road, where every day is an education." After watching only the first episode, I'm not sure the teachers are much more emotionally mature than the kids!

Obama Adviser David Axelrod Pulls Bill Maher Show Appearance
UPDATED: HBO says that Axelrod was never confirmed to join.
Money can't buy you love -- or, sometimes, a guest on your TV program.
President Obama's campaign chief David Axelrod is not scheduled to appear on Real Time with Bill Maher, Politico reports. Axelrod was reported last week to be on the roster of upcoming visitors to the HBO political comedy talk show; the reported exit comes amidst criticism Maher has received for defending Rush Limbaugh's apology to Sandra Fluke for the mysoginist remarks he made on air. President Obama has strongly condemned Limbaugh's attacks.
PHOTOS: 10 Hollywood Players That Will Make a Difference in the 2012 Elections
At a time in which Hollywood is donating far less to Obama's campaign than it did the first go round, Maher has stood out for his support for the President. He very publicly donated $1 million to the President's re-election campaign and openly criticized his opponents, telling The Hollywood Reporter that "It's a scarier group of Republicans than I've ever seen in my life."
Maher has gotten slammed by all sides for making what critics call a history of making sexist remarks. A conservative group has been using attacks Maher has made on Sarah Palin -- he has called her a c--t during his standup act and a t--t on Real Time -- in a video being circulated to raise money. In addition, a non-partisan group called Women's Campaign Fund has called on Obama to return the massive check as a stand against sexism.
"They're absolutely identical," Sam Bennett, the latter group's president, told Talking Points Memo. "It's completely unacceptable when Maher said sexist things about Bachmann and Palin. It's completely unacceptable when Rush called Sandra Fluke a 'slut.' If you attack one woman, you attack all women, period. If it goes uncalled against, we're saying it's OK. It's not."
Axelrod is a very common face on TV screens, and not just on straight news programs, either; he's appeared on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, the Late Show with David Letterman, the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, amongst others.
Stewart on Tuesday night addressed the Maher controversy, saying Fox News, which has been critical of the comedian/host, of having a double standard.
"So I guess by bringing up Bill Maher, Fox is saying, 'So we're even, right? Off-setting penalties," he said. "Let's just say we all get back to what really matters to Americans: whether Obama is a Sunni or a Shi'ite.'"
A spokesperson for HBO told The Hollywood Reporter played down the news, saying "We don't consider anyone confirmed on maher until basically the Wednesday before our Friday show, because the nature of the booking is guests' schedules change, flights get canceled."
Asked whether high profile guests have started to avoid the show, the spokesperson responded, "It's business as usual."
