Compost/soil contamination question
Ok here we go,
My neighbor, an elderly woman has been gardening organically (or so she thought) this past growing season. It appears that she had compost delivered from the local landfill that was filled with hard (for her) to see bits of shredded plastic. I could see them plain as day once she showed me but i am believe my eyes are a bit better than hers. She came to me freaking out about it cause she is worried that the plants, their fruits and seeds will become contaminated with chemicals leeched from the plastic. I have no idea what to tell her so here i am. Any help would be much appriciated. The plants include tomatoes, peppers, greens , melons, and herbs.
Tell her not to worry. The pieces of plastic are probably from bags used to bring waste to be shredded, or trash mixed with the material for composting. The plastic is not going to cause any toxic problems with her plants. Some of the plastic is probably photo-degradable and will disappear as the UV hits it; other plastic may be bio-degradable and will slowly decompose.
Plastic is perhaps the nastiest contaminate to see in your compost but it really has a chemical effect that I'd call unmeasurable. The stuff does decay but it's almost entirely hydrocarbons and they're very inert as far as what a plant can take up via its roots. This is opinion and not in any way is it scientific!
You could also, to help assuage any panic of hers, suggest that what she has growing is still far far kinder to her health than anything she could find at the grocery store, chemical-wise. Far better.
The above two comments indicate an acceptance of pollution that should not exist today, some 40 years after the first Earth Day, but it does exist.
Since there have been no real studies about the affects of plastic in the garden we really do not know what might happen.
There are those that believe plastics are inert and might be useful for loosening compacted soils, but we do know that some hard plastics release BPA in liquids. The Food And Drug Administration sets limits on how much plastics touching our food can release under the assumption that these are harmful to humans.
While plastics should not be in the soil of an organic grower what might be there is probably in small enough quantities to be of little harm. Some years ago some heavy metals were of great concern until we learned that plants do not uptake them, although if in the soil they may attach to the skins of root crops where they would be a concern.

Reviews of Ferndale Landscape Contractors
Bellingham, WA
I was very impressed with the professionalism of this company. They immediately contacted a private contractor who was at my home in less than 90 minutes! He installed new towel racks in my bathroom, provided suggestions for future improvements for the home along with contacts. I would definitely contact this company first when I am ready to make more updates. I hope they send the same contractor again.
Bellingham, WA
I really liked the approach he took. He was there when he said he would be and did an excellent job The only drawback was the price. I thought it was too high. At least it was for me as I am a senior on a very fixed income. If his prices were a bit lower I would hire him again.

"C Y P R U S - THE ISLAND OF APHRODITE" Top 5 Page for this destination Cyprus by greekcypriot
Cyprus Travel Guide: 3,984 reviews and 10,241 photos
Cyprus hospitality is legendary and definitely a place of beautiful contrasts offering wide possibilities and choices. It has an amazing climate with plentiful of sunshine throughout the year.
It is the third largest island in the Mediterranean and its history goes back to 10.000BC. Numerous civilizations have left their mark and it has been said that if you "scratch the soil anywhere in Cyprus you will find traces of the island's preceding civilizations" –an island full of sites from every period of its turbulent history.
I can assure you of the most beautiful beaches with crystal clear waters ideal for the most demanding visitor.
There is everything for everyone whether the visitor comes here for its beaches, its history, the beautiful trails, …..just anything.
The Guide below includes several tips for memorable holidays.
The best is to combine your beach holidays with rural holidays. Away from the tourist areas the countryside has a diverse wealth including traditional villages, vineyards and wineries, tiny fresco-painted churches, remote monasteries and cool shady forests.
I consider it 'a nature-lovers paradise'.
In Cyprus villages traditional values remain, while the true character of the Cypriot people shines through wherever you go.
- Pros:An ideal Paradise for Demanding Visitors!
- Cons:Very Warm and Humid with Crowded beaches in July and August.
- In a nutshell:Beach/Mountain/Culture/ Climate/ Hospitality at its Best - Simply a Gem!

It may take a while but I'm going to check out your Cyprus pages. There's so much info here. Thank you for your message by the way.
You are welcome Malcom. Take your time. I am sure after reading a few tips you will want to get a ticket and get there. There are seperate guides for the big cities too, but go to these ONLY after you have made up your mind to fly there....lol
Don't forget the best time is September till 20th October. After that date several businesses close especially in Ayia Napa or Protaras.
That's a good tip already. Thanks Popi and thanks for accepting my friend request
Wonderful tips and photos Popi. Very practical and useful information here. I am about half way through and will continue when I have more time. thank you for a wonderful effort.
Hi Popi, do I need a passport to travel from Greek part to Turkish side of Cyprus?
Oh yes. Absolutely you have to show the passport at the green line! When do you plan visiting Cyprus? I will be out there the last week of September till mid October.....it is the best time of travelling to Cyprus that time and still the peak season.
Not sure yet but will come in August. As you know Croatia is part of CE now and I will travel with my ID card only, not sure if my passport will be ready.
Nice Review Popi , Well written
Yasoo Popi, I enjoyed your hotel reviews and you have my vote. Great pages on the hotels of Cyprus. Fantastic work. Larry/travelgourmet

Other than skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women in the U.S. According to the latest estimates from the American Cancer Society, 192,370 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed this year, and 40,170 deaths from breast cancer will take place in 2009. But those statistics are not limited to women. Although rare, breast cancer can also strike men. The ACS estimates 1,910 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in American men this year, with 440 men dying form the disease. And though most doctors recommend women age 40 and over receive yearly check-ups, the disease also does not limit itself to a specific age range. That is why it is important to make everyone aware that they can fall prey to this silent killer.
"I was diagnosed with breast cancer in May 2007, and I was only 38 years old," said Michelle Smith, a life-long Springfield resident. "Don't ever believe that you have to be 40 or older to have breast cancer, because it's not true."
Smith has a strong family history with cancer, so her doctor had been very cautious and kept a close eye on her for about five years. She noticed a dimpling in her left breast and that's when she called her doctor. Once the change in her breast was discovered, she scheduled a biopsy and received the news the following day.
"It was quite an experience to hear over the telephone that you have cancer," she added. "They got me into surgery within two weeks because it was discovered from the biopsy that I had two different types of breast cancer. They moved quickly, and I had a left breast mastectomy and reconstructive surgery."
All of Smith's post-surgery treatments were done at the doctor's office at the Cancer Care Center at Baptist East Hospital in Louisville. During the week, she still maintained a normal schedule, working at her job at St. Catharine College and attending her kids' basketball games.
"I had chemotherapy for four months," Smith added. "They were really aggressive with my treatments, and the staff was wonderful. I was back to work in eight weeks, and I worked through my chemo and my employer was wonderful. I would work all week, have my chemo on Thursday, be sick all weekend and come back to work on Monday. Anytime I felt bad, I would just go home and keep going."
Through it all, Michelle tried to keep a sense of humor, which she said was very important to her recovery.

In this hot homosexual anal hardcore clip, well hung fuckers Rod Stevens and Randy Jones take a break from their hard labour as construction workers for some cock play and butt fucking. You know there's nothing sexier than a man in uniform, if a construction worker's outfit counts as a uniform, that is! These two hunks have both got bulging biceps, poking out the sides of their overalls. One man catches the other slacking off from the job, ordering him to rub his cock against his own or else face disciplinary charges from the management of the company. This turns in to a hardcore oral, anal and handjob fuck fest of epic proportions.

You could definitely make an album of two-minute songs, punk rockers do it all the time and nobody gives a damn. So long as there's flow, there's a call for such song lengths.
I really liked it. Had a nice chill vibe, that was artfully noisy in the right places. There's a nice layer of tension you developed in the song, keep tapping into that.
I will certainly try my best. I know that Smash Mouth did it with their debut album, but I don't have to be Smash Mouth. I can be myself, you know? :P I'm glad that you really liked it, though. I just don't know where to go with the song. That's my problem. But if you liked it, then that means that I'm on the right track! So thank you!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This is really cool. I love the synth. But we will never speak of MSI again. Ever. :p
I will never sin again in such a manner, I promise. :c

Maryland head coach Randy Edsall says one of his starters has informed him that he will not return to the team in 2015.
He's only a freshman, but he racked up two Big Ten weekly awards after leading Maryland to four wins over the past seven days.
It took a number of weeks, but the player who has proven to be perhaps Maryland's best player finally won a conference award.
Maryland soccer coach Sasho Cirovski stops by SportsTalk Live to talk about the Terps' Big Ten championship and more.
Big time college basketball games at the Naval Academy? In the post-David Robinson world, that's an oddity.

Many have even resorted to calling it "Beauty and the Beast," see, because if you do that, you can ignore the fact that these women are two top-notch athletes. You can reduce it down to their looks, and that's the only thing that matters when it comes to the ladies, right?
Except, one little thing. Carano and Cyborg's looks have absolutely nothing to do with the outcome of the fight. Carano's pretty face will not keep Cyborg from trying to punch it as hard as possible. Cyborg's less-than-supermodel-like looks will not scare Carano out of the cage.
"I don't give any thought to that. It has nothing to do with looks," Gina Carano said on today's media conference call. "Fighting has nothing to do with looks."
Picking Gina Carano because she's on Maxim's list of sexiest whatever, or not picking Cyborg because you don't want to sleep with her is sexism at its most rudimentary levels. The only thing that should matter to you when you tune in Cyborg vs. Carano is whether or not you're watching a good fight.

The Race to be the Greenest Building
The Living Building Challenge, run by the Cascadia Green Building Council, is growing in popularity these days. Referred to as one of the most advanced green building rating systems in the world, it's growing, I believe, in part because of its rigor. The Challenge is performance based, which means a project has to perform as modeled for one full year prior to receiving certification. Currently, four projects (see below) are racing to be the first to obtain Living Building Challenge certification.

Prof. Lown to Work in Collaboration on Food Disparities
Date: December 21, 2012
Assistant Professor Deborah Lown of the Biomedical Sciences Department at GVSU will be part of the team of researchers conducting National Institute of Food and Agriculture funded research entitled " Examining Disparities in Food Access and Enhancing the Food Security of Underserved Populations in Michigan." characteristics and the distribution of food outlets for Grand Rapids, Holland, Muskegon, Kalamazoo and Benton Harbor.
"In addition to these activities, I am the only site collecting 24-hour recalls and physical activity as measured by 7-days wearing an actigraph," Lown said.
The total award to the project is almost $1M.
The research team explains that food security has emerged as a major global and national problem. Nationwide more than 50 million Americans live in food insecure households. Consequently, activists and civic leaders are spearheading a variety of strategies to reduce food insecurity. "We will undertake research, education, and extension activities aimed at understanding disparities in food access in Michigan and effective interventions to enhance food security," they said.

If you don't mind paying a monthly fee, Rdio is a great way to listen to and discover new music, set up playlists, and share with friends and other members.
Pricing not available
Shazam now saves all of the songs you've looked up as a playlist for easy listening on either Spotify or Rdio.
Rdio may be small, but new Chief Executive Anthony Bay tells CNET he's already planning for when it's big in his first interview since taking over as head of the streaming music service.
Roku is offering its entry-level streaming video products at a discount, with two free months of Rdio Unlimited thrown in for good measure.
The streaming service has converted all of its 30 million-strong catalog to AAC format, offering different quality bitrates up to 320kbps for users to choose from.
Which has the most apps? Which has the coolest features? Which one is the best? The most popular streamers all have their merits, so we'll help you decide which box is right for you.
Aiming to step out of the shadow of Spotify, Pandora and Apple's iTunes Radio, 4-year-old Rdio beefs up its free radiolike service and designs a warmer welcome for the uninitiated.
Rdio is broadening its global footprint by launching into 9 new countries across Asia and Europe. The music streaming service is now available in 60 countries worldwide.
Music-streaming service Rdio is updating its catalog to 320kbps for higher quality playback.
The Nine Inch Nails front man, chief creative officer at Beats, is directing the design of an Apple streaming-music service to rival Spotify's, according to The New York Times.

Opinion: Are Games Too Much Like Work?
September 4, 2009 | By
Lew Pulsipher
September 4, 2009 | By
Lew Pulsipher
75 comments
[In this opinion column, academic Lewis Pulsipher muses on ways to enjoy games without the focus on success, failure and competition, asserting that users must have that option if games are ever to be as inclusive as movies.]
Video games wont be as widely accepted as film unless we find ways to allow participation by those who dont want to be challenged by their entertainment, and who dont want to have to work to be entertained.
Chess masters not only play a lot of chess, they study the strategy and the standard openings, memorizing a vast number of lines of play. They have to, in order to succeed. When I was 15 years old, I was an avid board gamer, though not a regular chess player; faced with the prospect of much more study, I retired from playing chess because, as I told people, it was too much like work.
Video games are at a crossroads. Despite what the hardcore call dumbing down, many video games are too much like work for too many people. If were to make video games as ubiquitous as movies, what can we do about this?
Beating The Game, Missing The Journey?
Traditionally, video games have been challenge-based. The idea was that the player, interacting with the computer, is entertained by learning how to overcome the challenges and, in the end, beat the game. Playing such games, which might more accurately be called interactive puzzles where only one player is involved, is a learning experience.
Raph Koster, theorizing about fun in games, goes so far as to say that Fun is learning in a safe environment (such as a video game). People learn how to overcome the challenges in video games until they master the game.
This challenge/learning paradigm has helped video games become a common form of entertainment, yet as the size of the game-playing public expands, the challenges have been watered down to be acceptable to the additional players. Hardcore gamer complaints that the game
is too easy, or that
World of Warcraft
is for noobs, are typical.
At some point, the challenge paradigm no longer works for the next group of potential players.
God of War
creator David Jaffe explained, "I dont want to be challenged by my entertainment, heres my 60 bucks, entertain me or go away. Hardcore gamers want to be challenged and emerge as bad ass gamers, but that isnt fun for me." (This quote is highly expurgated.)
Yet my observation of gamers who boast about beating the game is that they often appear not to have enjoyed the journey -- that is, even for them, sometimes the game is more like work than fun.
Hardcore game players are accustomed to being challenged. Viewers of movies, which are passive experiences, are rarely challenged.
Far more people watch movies than play video games. Roughly speaking, a movie that grosses $200 million domestically is seen by more than 20 million Americans, and many more people in other countries, in a month or two, far outreaching the audience of the most successful video games. That doesnt count how many will watch the DVD or see it on television.
How can video games approach this kind of audience? What can video game designers do to accommodate those who dont want to be challenged by their games, who may only be interested in the story theyre being told, who wont play games that are too much like work?
Removing the Focus on Challenges
One way is to offer an alternative to competitive challenges as the basis for a game. Many definitions of game include the idea of challenges and player actions, but we already see successful video games that have removed the onus of failure to compete.
Wii Fit
Wii Music
immediately come to mind, and the former is one of the best-selling video games ever.
However, Im not suggesting that we need to abandon the challenge basis of games, Im just looking for ways to let those who dont like work to participate in such games.
Early video games had no story to speak of, and to this day in many games the story is just an excuse to get to the action. But many games include stories of sufficient interest to be praised for their own sake. At some point a player may want to "ride along" and see what happens, to enjoy the story. Can you do that with a video game?
At this time, not without a lot of action that many people call work. Should these folks instead be watching movies? Movies that resemble video games are often panned by film critics, but recently the well-known critic Roger Ebert said, about the movie Terminator Salvation, "It gives you all the pleasure of a video game without the bother of having to play it." (He gave it three stars out of four, quite a bit better than the Metacritic average -- this was not a criticism.)
Is a future of video games actually movies like this? Or can we enable video games to challenge those who like to be challenged, but accommodate those who just want to ride along?
Mitigating Failure
This requires us to find some way to either remove the disadvantage of failure from the game, or make failure less likely.
We see evidence of easification all over the video game map. Some games now help you aim your gun, some automatically heal you when you save, and so forth. Bad-ass gamers sneer at these features, but theyre there to allow people to do less work while playing the game.
MMOs like
World of Warcraft
have made playing much easier, much less challenging, in order to appeal to a larger group of players. Old-timers complain, but you cant argue with the financial benefits to the publisher and studio.
Weve seen the effects of failure mitigated in video games for decades. When you fail, ordinarily you die. Older games gave you several lives, and ways to earn more, to let you avoid most of the disadvantages of death.
Newer games provide the ability to save a game, sometimes automatically, so that when you fail (usually, die) you can go back to the last save and continue. In effect, you have unlimited lives. In the new
Prince of Persia
game, instead of the prince dying when he screws up, he's rescued by his magical companion, though this still takes him back to the last Save just as though he'd died. Yet it feels less negative.
Even this failure, however, entails work, as a player must go through a part of the game hes already traversed in order to reach the point where he failed.
Havent we now reached a level of technology where we can have "constant saving" and you can decide where you want to continue from, so you don't have to replay anything if you don't want to?
Games can do something like Photoshop and 3ds Max: Let a player hit the undo key (usually Control-Z) when he gets in trouble or fails, and go back a few actions, or a minute, or five minutes, whatever interval he chooses, to resume the game at a point before the failure.
Yes, itll take a lot of computing power. Initially, the constant undo capability might extend back only to the second-newest save. Nonetheless, if a game can record a movie of everything that is happening, as some games can, a player should be able to, in effect, rewind that movie to where you want to restart. And weve removed some of the work.
"Autopilot" Mode
Undo will help reduce the tedium of game playing, but doesnt do anything for the people who just arent interested in being strongly challenged by a game. For them we need an autopilot mode -- like Nintendo's upcoming
Demo Play feature.
When the player runs up against a challenge that is too hard, or that just doesnt appeal, or the players having a slow day and just wants to watch, then the game should have an autopilot mode so that the player can watch the game overcome the challenge(s), and he then continues on to the next part. When he feels like playing he can turn off autopilot and continue.
This is a true autopilot, not a tutorial, not a show me how to do it. The game will actually play through the section and continue until the player wants to play further, from that point: hell not go back to that challenge unless he wants to.
If the player is more interested in watching than playing, the entire game can be played on autopilot. In linear games this will work pretty well. In sandbox games the player may still need to make a decision about which way to go or what choice to make at various points, and the autopilot can pause and let him choose. But the primary purpose of autopilot will be to overcome specific challenges the player doesnt want to deal with, rather than to play the entire game through.
So if Im playing a game with the kind of puzzles I despise, I can let the autopilot take over, then go on with the enjoyable parts of the game. If a game has the occasional twitch section, I can let the game take care of it. And those who arent real gamers will enjoy all the pleasure of a video game without the bother of having to play it."
Those who like to do will still be able to play the game that way; those who like to watch will also be able to play. And the sales of video games will increase as the market broadens. Someday, then, some best-selling video games might match the best-selling movies in audience size.
So we remove work from games, we remove failure from games. The hardcore will be disgusted at such wimpiness, but weve been working toward this in video games for decades, why not finish what we started? After all, theyre games, not tests of manhood (or womanhood).
Face it, in the great scheme of things it doesnt matter whether you took only four hours to beat the game. It doesnt matter whether you have 10,000 achievement points (as if those achievements amount to anything in real-life terms!).
It doesnt matter that youre a bad-ass gamer. The interactive way isnt any better or more praiseworthy or more productive than the less interactive ways Im proposing. People just want to enjoy video games, and we can offer more ways to enjoy them as computers become more and more powerful.
Well still have multi-sided games, where there are several human interests and the players write their own story, to challenge the hard core. Good human players are harder to beat than mere computers.

Cam girls have all sorts of tricks up their sleeves when it comes to getting you to pay up. This isn't meant to sound malicious (don't hate the player, hate the game), but it's true. There are cam girls out there that flirt and giggle like there's no tomorrow, but when it comes to putting in their time they barely fulfill the requirements for cyber sex. They would rather concentrate on live chatting and no sex show. You need to find The Tops of the Top: Reviews of the Best Cam Sites on the Web, sites where you get a real show. Trust only legit live sex cam sites, when your hard earned money is involved. It sucks to pay her for a premium time slot and then have to drop out because she's the equivalent of a dead fish in real life. You've already paid your dues, and you don't get them back. But we're here to save you from having to waste your time and money. You can take these tips to any live cam site on the internet and get top results.
Why Would She Even Do That?
Before you start to pinpoint a fake you've got to know why they do what they do. You might immediately assume it's because they're just trying to get the fastest way to make money, but it can end up being way more than that. Most of the cam models that you'll encounter are one of two types of women: the working college student or lazy. First we'll go over the more complex of the two. College students do not have a lot of time. They have to study, have class schedules, and need to sleep to get their good grades. If she's just in a junior college the chances are that she's not going to want to be at this sort of job where she has to do uncomfortable things to make a living. That means that this hot student is I the big leagues. She's at a university getting a major degree. So if she comes off as being fake in order to get you to pay up faster it's really just like a hooker making you cum to get it over with and get her money. It's efficient and gets her the money in the end.
The second instance is that she's just lazy. While some are working off student loans in real life, others are just thinking that they're getting an easy job. They have to sit there and look pretty, while occasionally having sex with themselves. It doesn't seem like the most complicated thing to do. Then they realize that guys want anal and gaping holes and double penetration. That's when they have to pretend to be horny and talk dirty to a random stranger. If you've never tried that, give it a shot the next time you're in the grocery store; it won't turn out well. Because it's sort of annoying and can make her mad, she's going to want to skip all of that weird stuff and just diddle her twiddle for a few minutes to get you excited enough to pay her, then she'll bounce. It's not cool, but it gets the job done. She may not get tipped, but she'll get the flat rate from the company for luring you in. It's dirty and fast, but someone's got to do it.
Picking Up What She's Putting Down
Little known to her, she's got some dead giveaways that will let you know that she's not as real as she claims. Just like with poker, everyone has some sort of tell. Most fake women tend to be giggly and flirty while you're in the free room. They tend to be damned near perfect so you want to spend that cash to get that ass, but hold up there cowboy. Take a look at her ratings. Isn't it so strange that, despite her perfect personality, she has low or mediocre ratings? Ah-ha, you can't trick us lady. Take a look at her live stream. Most people have some sort of sixth sense that tells them when a person just seems a little bit off. When she's just trying to smile for the camera, she's most likely going to come off as being Happy Lite. It's almost real, but there's something a little bit fake about the whole thing.
Is There Anything Going On in That Blackout?
When she enters into a premium show with the guys who are willing to pay the screen goes black and you're left wondering. But there's actually a way to tell if the good stuff is going on (and if you should join). All top internet live cam sites have separate windows for the cam model to use while she's in a private session. She has video feed and a private chat box for those who are paying, but there's still the free session going on in the other window. If she's really trying to entice guys to pay her then she's going to be typing little taunts. That's normal, but it's the frequency and the subject of the taunts that will clue you in. She will have to have a large amount of focus on the client, so she won't have time to sit there typing out a new line every 30 seconds. Even if she's good at her job, she can't get a guy off by doing anal, then water sports, and then food play all within five minutes. It would be rushed and sloppy, resulting in a pissed off customer. So when she's typing out the orgasms that the fried chicken is giving her right after she just had a vibrator in her ass then you know she's only trying to lure customers in.
Sticking around on her chat forum will give you another clue. If she's popping in and out of private sessions really quickly then you know that the guy you aren't seeing isn't happy. If she's keeping her screen dark for extended periods of time then you know that she's got one hell of a show going on; one that you should probably get in on.
A Dirty Trick
This isn't even talking about a woman that's going to try to stand you up once she gets you into a private session. Unfortunately, some of those top rated live cam sites on the Internet get those hot women to join because…they're literally fake. Cam sites have to compete with hundreds of other places that do the same thing that they do. It's all about the women that you see and how attractive they are. Maybe Cam Site A has some pretty women on there, but they just aren't enough to attract a huge audience. That's when they create fake profiles to lure you in. When you click on the video she'll either be away or in a premium private deluxe session that means she can't be bothered. These profiles will always look to good to be true with women who don't fit the profile that they're labeled as. Even more so, they often don't even say that their cams have sound or anything. The site is relying on the depicted titties to get your attention to come to their website. Once you're there and you see that RoxyCoxy is busy for hours you're going to shop around the rest of the candy shop until you find a substitute. Unless you end up getting a really bad cam model, chances are you'll end up buying.

Raymond Felton Drills Half Court Buzzer Beater As Knicks Make 11 First Half 3s (Video)
The Knicks are on fire right now, and punishing the KG and Rondo-less Celtics from beyond the arc. First half alone they hit 11 of 17 triples. Carmelo has 18 already, and the red hot J.R. Smith is handing out the pipe. In an ironic twist, Mr. Smith has 11 points at the half, none of which have come from three. In fact, he hasn't even attempted one yet. Apparently his new strategy of getting to the rim is for real, because the old J.R. would be on this 3-point train like a boxcar hobo running from some lady he just stole a pie from.
Kenyon Martin exited the game with a strained abdominal as the Knicks' lead at halftime 65-48.

|Shawn Thornton fined for squirting P.K. Subban with water bottle; Claude Julien 'can't support' Thornton's actions
|05.11.14 at 11:21 am ET
Bruins forward Shawn Thornton was fined $2,820.52 by the NHL Department of Player Safety for unsportsmanlike conduct committed late in the Bruins' Game 5 win over the Canadiens.
Thornton squirted Canadiens defenseman P.K. Subban with a water bottle at least once during the game, with Subban complaining to the official and yelling at Thornton after the second occurrence in the final minute of the game.
"With Thorty, I don't know if it was him, but somebody had squirted water twice at the end of the game there," Subban said after the Bruins' 4-2 win. "Hit me in the visor. I couldn't even see the last minute and a half out there. I was pretty upset about that."
After the fine was handed down, Thornton spoke to the media about it, taking no questions. Thornton seemed irked by the life the story has taken on and didn't sound overly apologetic.
"I obviously got caught up in the moment. I'll pay the fine. We obviously agree with what the league does there. I'll pay the fine and move on. I'm sorry that the silly incident kind of overshadowed how my teammates played and the great win and how good the series has been.
"I think that there are definitely more important things to be focusing on. I got caught up in the moment. I probably shouldn't have done that. I'll move on, get ready for Game 6, pay the fine, and hopefully have a good showing."
Claude Julien said Sunday morning that upon seeing the video of Thornton squirting Subban, he gave Thornton a talking to. Julien also made clear that he doesn't support such behavior.
"As a coach, you always want to support your players, but there are certain things you can't support," Julien said. "I don't think I can support Shawn on those actions. To me, I don't think we like seeing our players do that. Whether he got caught up in the game or whatever, to me, he's got to own up to it. That's all I'm going to say about it."
The fine was the maximum possible for unsportsmanlike conduct under the current CBA.
It's been a costly season for Thornton, who forfeited approximately $84,615.45 earlier in the season during his 15-game suspension that stemmed from his Dec. 7 incident with Penguins defenseman Brooks Orpik. This season is the first in which Thornton has made over $1 million, as he signed a two-year contract that would pay him $1.1 million both last season and this season, but he lost somewhere in the neighborhood of $456,000 during last season's lockout.

|Shawn Thornton on D&C: 'We plan on it being a long series'
|05.07.14 at 11:12 am ET
Bruins forward Shawn Thornton joined Dennis & Callahan on Wednesday to discuss Boston's 4-2 loss to the Canadiens in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. To hear the interview, go to the Dennis & Callahan audio on demand page.
The Bruins once again got off to a slow start in Game 3, as Boston trailed 3-0 before finally getting on the board with a little over two minutes remaining in the second period thanks to a goal from Patrice Bergeron.
"I think it's just uncharacteristic," Thornton said. "I know the one coming out of the power play, maybe you should be aware of the clock, but it looked like we were in control. Yelling from the bench, you actually can't hear it, to be completely honest. That's one of the home-ice advantages, I guess. It's just a couple of plays that were maybe a little uncharacteristic of us and end up in the back of our net. Give them credit, they capitalized on the chances that we gave them."
Bruins netminder Tukka Rask once again took the loss after stopping 21 of 24 shots on the night. Rask has allowed nine goals in three games during the series.
"He'll be good. He's done a good job. His whole career, he's been a really good professional — just banking things, knowing it happened and then moving on to the next one," Thornton said, adding: "He's just one of the best team guys that I've seen as a goalie. He'll be great today, he'll be focused on tomorrow. It's 2-1, it's not the start we wanted, but we plan on it being a long series."
Thornton said the team's usual stout defense should once again be present on the ice in Game 4.
"It's more about just playing our game. … We had some chances and we had some sustained pressure and all that, but we are very strong defensively and we don't normally give up backdoor passes or two or three breakaways a game. That just doesn't happen with us," he said.
|Don Cherry on D&C: Bruins 'just don't seem to be ready'
|at 9:25 am ET
Legendary Hockey Night in Canada analyst Don Cherry checked in with Dennis & Callahan on Wednesday to discuss the Bruins' disappointing 4-2 loss to the Canadiens in Game 3 of their Eastern Conference semifinals. To hear the interview, go to the Dennis & Callahan audio on demand page.
"That was not one of their better games. I don't understand it," the former Bruins coach said. "They spot teams a 3-0 lead and think they're going to come back in the third period. It's a dumb way to play."
The Bruins were hurt by a couple of defensive breakdowns that led to early Canadiens goals, and Cherry said their failure to be prepared to play hard and focused from the opening faceoff is an issue that continues to haunt them.
"It's funny, you can sit here and dissect it. You have to be behind the bench to realize that Montreal is going to come out flying," Cherry said. "They have their favorite singer. You have to be ready for something like that. It's easy to say. I've been there many times before.
"There's so many mistakes made, even down to the one where [Tuukka] Rask doesn't bang his stick on the breakaway. You're taught in junior, in bantams, when you see a penalty near the end, you bang your stick to warn the guys. Here's a guy that's not ready. They just don't seem to be ready. They think that they can come back all the time in the third period. They seem to be relying on that third period all the time. They don't play desperate right now. I'm telling you, they better start, because they're sky high, Montreal is sky high."
Added Cherry: "You've got to play like [Brad] Marchand. Believe it or not, he was plus-2 last night. He is a guy that they've got to look to. He plays like that all the time, and that's the way they've got to play. They were fast asleep the first two periods."
The Bruins' problems start in goal, where Rask has continued his career-long struggles against the Canadiens, while Carey Price has come up with some big saves at the other end.
"Rask is not playing the way Rask can play. … Price is outplaying him, that's for sure," Cherry said. "Rask is not playing like he did in the season for some reason. Montreal's got — I don't know if they've got his number or what. But he's not the Rask that I know.
"But here's the thing that bothers me, is the Bruins were out-hit last night. Imagine the Bruins being out-hit by those little midgets with Montreal. They're just not ready. And if they're not ready, it's going to be a short series."
|P.K. Subban knocks net off, Dale Weise mocks Bruins with celebration
|05.06.14 at 11:28 pm ET
MONTREAL — P.K. Subban regularly gets the Bruins off their game. In Game 3, he got the net off its moorings, which may have cost the Bruins the game.
With the B's pushing to tie a 3-2 game in the final seconds of the game, the Canadiens defenseman — who had a goal and an assist in the game — skated into the goal post and knocked it off. Had he been called for it, the Bruins would have had a power play by virtue of a delay of game minor.
"After [Subban] rimmed the puck, Torey [Krug] got the puck and he found me. I had so much room in front of me, I could have walked in. You never what can happen with 8-10 seconds left," David Krejci said. "Yeah, it was frustrating at the time, but I don't know if that was a penalty or not."
Patrice Bergeron is as measured a human being as there is, yet he struggled to downplay the infraction when asked about it after the game.
"He's playing the clock and he's trying to make something happen," Bergeron said. "Maybe he felt that we were coming hard. You've got to leave it to the refs, and they didn't make the call. It's about bearing down and starting a lot earlier to make it a game."
Meanwhile, Dale Weise pulled off a pretty good mock chest-pound after his second-period goal. The Bruins have celebrated big goals this season by pounding their chest repeatedly, with Milan Lucic and Krug taking part. After beating Tuukka Rask five-hole on a breakaway Tuesday, Weise got in on the fun.
MONTREAL — The Bell Centre can be a tough place to play, especially in the postseason.
The fans are crazy and the pregame presentation is second to none, but home ice calls overshadow everything. The Canadiens get their power plays one way or another, and if their power play is anything like it's been the last two games, they score.
Yet with nine power plays in the first two games of the series in Boston, the Canadiens proved something that was proven throughout the regular season: They get calls anywhere. Montreal had 140 power plays at home this season and 139 on the road.
As such, it's safe to assume the Habs will get something like nine power plays over the next two games. Whether it's the same way they got them in Boston — with some diving, some should-be matching minors that weren't matching and the Bruins losing their cool — remains to be seen. Either way, the B's have to know the power plays for Montreal are coming.
When they do, the Bruins have to look more like the group that held the Red Wings to two power play goals and less like the group that has allowed four goals to Montreal through two games.
The biggest issue has been stopping P.K. Subban, who has been able to get too many pucks to the net. Only one of the four goals he's created (two scored, two assisted) has come off a one-timer, with the others being a normal slap shot, a wrist shot and a pass.
The solution there is getting in the shooting lanes and stopping those bids, which for whatever reason the B's haven't done. Zdeno Chara, Gregory Campbell and Brad Marchand have all been guilty parties in that regard.
'That's one of the areas we have to be better at," Chara said Tuesday morning. "He's putting those shots really quickly through our players and we've got to make sure we do a better job.'
It goes without saying, but if the Bruins can stay out of the box, they'll be in tremendous shape. The B's were the best five-on-five team in the NHL this season and have outscored the Canadiens, 7-2 in the second round.
"Five-on-five I thought we've played very well. Carey Price is a good goalie and he's made some big saves, but I think that we've had enough chances that we can win games five-on-five," Reilly Smith said. "We've been the stronger team five-on-five for sure."
Perhaps the most notable penalty thus far wasn't given to a player at all, but rather Claude Julien. The Bruins were given a bench minor late in the second period of Game 2 when Claude Julien cussed out an official.
The B's don't want that to happen again, but Julien said Tuesday that he isn't ashamed of the penalty.
"I don't regret doing what I did," Julien said. "I thought I stood up for my team at the time. But the biggest thing there is is you turn around and you tell your team to turn the page and go out there in the third and play the way they can. That's part of the message that our team has to take from the last game. When we focus on the things we can control, it's a lot more beneficial than not."
Pierre McGuire of NBC Sports joined Mut & Merloni on Tuesday morning to discuss the Eastern Conference semifinal series between the Bruins and Canadiens. To hear the interview, go to the Mut & Merloni audio on demand page.
The Bruins evened up the series in dramatic fashion on Saturday, as the team rallied from a two-goal deficit in the third period en route to a 5-3 victory in Game 2 at TD Garden.
"It was like Game 2 of Detroit and Boston, too, exactly what Boston had to do," McGuire said. "Sometimes it takes a little while to warm up to a series, and it took the Bruins a little while to warm up to the Detroit series and they clearly did that in Game 2 and never lost another game in the series. I thought that Boston really warmed up to this series after losing in double overtime in Game 1. It takes a little while.
"They're into it, they're fully engaged now, and they'll have to be because that will be a raucous crowd in Montreal tonight and Thursday night won't get any easier."
The Bruins once again struggled with maintaining their composure in Game 2. The Canadiens made use of six power-play opportunities in the contest, with two goals coming on the man advantage.
"It's easier to say and harder to do," said McGuire, adding: "It's really difficult to talk about it and you keep getting hit over the head all the time with it, and I think there was some frustration because they were getting chances. … It's all difficult stuff, but I think they'll find their way. The one thing I know about this team, when they're home, it's one thing, because they want to please their fans so badly. … But the other thing, when they go on the road, I find them to be much more disciplined on the road than they are at home."
It was not just the Bruins skaters getting penalized by the referees in Game 2, as Bruins coach Claude Julien was called for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty in the final minutes of the second period.
"It started early on in the game and I can tell you, he was really upset with [official] Scott Cherrey on an offside that he thought wasn't an offside," McGuire said. "Then it carried over to the second period, he didn't like some of the calls going against his team, but it was nothing out of this world. It was nothing crazy. Trust me, I hear it all. It wasn't anything nuts. And then, I don't know what happened."
Added McGuire: "I did not hear him say anything derogatory. I thought it was something that happened on the ice. I don't know how [official] Dave Jackson heard anything from where he was standing from the Bruins bench, because it was definitely loud at that point in the game and when you're on the ice, you're down low. Unless you're really scrutinizing, there's no possible way you can hear anything."
|P.K. Subban apologized to Shawn Thornton for ducking
|05.03.14 at 5:18 pm ET
Bruins forward Shawn Thornton left the game in the third period after hurting his right knee on a collision with P.K. Subban in the neutral zone. Thornton was going for a hit on Subban, who lowered himself as he sent the puck into the Bruins zone. Thornton ended up returning to the game, but he said after the game that he didn't like the position Subban put him in and that the Canadiens defenseman apologized to him for the play.
"I don't like people ducking. I think [Brad Marchand] got about five games for it once," Thornton said. "I will say, off the draw he apologized afterwards, so there's that. I think it's a dangerous play, personally. But it's playoffs, it's hockey, I'm fine, so we're OK."
The suspension to which Thornton referred was Marchand's ban in the 2011-12 season for a low-bridge hit on Sami Salo. Marchand's offense was far more egregious than Subban's, and no penalty was called on Saturday's incident.
"I don't know what happened," Subban said of the play. "I just tried to shoot the puck around the zone and I sort of lost my footing there. Obviously you don't want to see anybody go off hurt, but he came back. I don't know if he stayed in the game, but [I was] happy to see that."
When Thornton got back on the bench, the Bruins were still trailing by a pair of goals in the third period. He delivered them a message on the bench midway through the period: one goal every five minutes.
"I'm not psychic. It's a pretty standard statement depending on the time and the score," Thornton said. "I think I said two goals, but we're a resilient crew here. We have been all year, so I knew the character would be there'I was just hoping the pucks would go in."

oh no! topsoil filled with nut sedge!!!
We got the topsoil (3 dump truck full loads) from a reputable company. It was dumped two weeks ago. Now nut sedge is springing up all over the topsoil. This, by the way, is not from the lawn that was there prior to construction. Does the topsoil company share any responsibility for this?
Condolences! I have no idea about legal issues, but I saw this on a thread once: Image (about a third of the way down the page) was recommended for nutsedge control in lawns (it kills other grasses also).
Here's the Univ. of California's IPM page for nutsedge:
As difficult as it is to believe, nutsedge is intentionally planted; the tubers are used to make horchata.
I'm so lucky here that I have three kinds of nutsedge (yellow and some purple nutsedge in the former pasture and green kylinga taking over the lawn). The nutsedges came with the house, but billions of little artemisia roots were part of a load of topsoil I bought a couple of years ago, so I can commiserate.
I have successfully eradicated yellow nutsedge from certain small areas of lawn, simply by pulling the plants -- but I didn't have the same scale of problem that you have.
hello there missingtheobvious, I am in central NC. Thanks for commiserating. The information says to hit back early and hard with mechanical methods.
I never heard that about horchata. Ref? I always have made horchata out of rice or almonds. Did you know about the origins of horchata? The almond version was rought to Spain by the Moors when they conquered Spain in 711 and then brought to the new world by the Spaniards when they conquered the new world in the 1400's and adapted to what we drink today.
Hi, raro! I am south of AVL, not really in the mountains, but in-between them.
Earlier this year I was reading a garden thread on another site. Some poor, deluded woman in TN had bought tubers to grow her own horchata ingredient. She was all excited at the prospect. I wasn't a member of that site, and seriously thought about joining just to scream "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Here's an article about nutsedge and horchata:
For many years I worked in a predominantly-Mexican community. I love most Mexican food, but the only time I had horchata I knew I never had to try it again. I've no idea what the ingredients were; maybe I'd like another type of horchata.

In an effort that could help improve treating people with depression, researchers claim to have identified a compound called hydroxynorketamine (HNK).
Ahead of New Year celebrations, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in Goa has confiscated a large haul of `party drug`, a narcotic allegedly being paddled for the beach parties to be held in the state.
A Spanish national has been arrested here for allegedly trying to smuggle four kg of Ketamine, commonly known as a party drug, worth Rs 1.6 crore, police said.
A molecular cousin of party drug Ketamine may act as a quick and effective way to relieve depression, a new study has claimed.
In a new study, patients with treatment-resistant major depression saw dramatic improvement in their illness after treatment with ketamine, an anesthetic.
Ketamine worth Rs 26 lakh was to be smuggled out of the country as a courier consignment.
Researchers have now discovered a drug that could ease out depression without any side-effects.
Million of people are suffering from depression, but the drugs available to treat them haven't changed much in 25 years.
A 31-year-old French national was arrested here for allegedly being in possession of eight kgs of party drug `Ketamine` worth around Rs 80 lakh, police said on Thursday.
The drug worth around Rs 35 crore in the international market was being smuggled to Malaysia from the Air Cargo complex at the Indira Gandhi International airport.
Customs officials today seized 25 kg of ketamine, valued at Rs 2.5 crore, from a businessman as he was about to board an Air Asia flight to Kuala Lumpur at the international airport here.
Ketamine, a drug which is highly popular among night clubbers, can also help treat depression.
Known as the common man`s cocaine, ketamine is
becoming a hit among college goers and youths.
A Singapore-bound passenger was
arrested Thursday at the airport on the charge of attempting
to smuggle 14.5 kg of ketamine, valued at Rs 1.5 crore in
international market, to Thailand, police said.
Three Indians have been
arrested at the international airport here for allegedly
trying to smuggle more than 60 kg of ketamine to Indonesia,
officials said.
A drug called ketamine can be a boon for those with suicidal tendencies by bringing down depression levels rapidly, a preliminary study has revealed.

Orval R. Olness, 80, of rural Chatfield, died October 8, 2003 at the Veteran's Hospital in St. Cloud, Minn.
