Tree pollen season begins
Published: Monday, February 21, 2011 at 8:00 p.m.

The beautiful, sunny weekend in North Florida left behind a sunshine-colored memento that few people really wanted.
Preventive strategies for spring tree pollen
Tips on dealing with pollen
If you buy trees for your yard, look for species that do not aggravate allergies such as crape myrtle, dogwood, fig, fir, palm, pear, plum, redbud and redwood trees or the female cultivars of ash, box elder, cottonwood, maple, palm, poplar or willow trees.
Avoid the outdoors between 5-10 a.m. Save outside activities for late afternoon or after a heavy rain, when pollen levels are lower.
Keep windows in your home and car closed to lower exposure to pollen. To keep cool, use air conditioners and avoid using window and attic fans.
Be aware that pollen can also be transported indoors on people and pets.
Dry your clothes in an automatic dryer rather than hanging them outside. Otherwise pollen can collect on clothing and be carried indoors.
SOURCE: National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences
That layer of pollen on the windshield, bike seat or anything else left outside for an hour or more is the product of three tree families — pine, cedar (including juniper and cypress) and sweet gum.
The pollen also is making its way into our noses, creating what Dr. John Harwick, director of the Shands Allergy Clinic, refers to as the faucet effect.
"The nose is running, the eyes are watering," Harwick said, "and it's worse in the morning or on days that are dry and windy because then the pollen can really fly around."
Harwick said that an allergic reaction to tree pollen is something some humans are genetically predisposed toward, with some people more sensitive to one type over another.
Researchers at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences have found that no matter what family of trees you might be allergic to, that family's pollen likely will find you in the spring.
According to federal researchers, of the approximately 50,000 kinds of trees, fewer than 100 cause allergies. Trees are a type of flora that are programmed to release large amounts of pollen, which is lighter than a feather and capable of being distributed many miles from the source tree.
Harwick's advice is to limit your exposure to tree pollen if you are sensitive to it.
"Pollen counts are highest in the morning, so if you are someone with an allergy to tree pollens — like a runner — avoid the early morning hours," Harwick said. "If you have to go out, say to get to work, make sure you shed what you were wearing outside, like your coat, so you don't carry the pollen inside with you."
He also recommends a saline rinse to remove pollen from the nose.
The good news for tree pollen allergy sufferers is that the season will end in a couple of months. The bad news is that it will be followed almost immediately by grass pollen during the summer months and then by weed pollen during the fall.
"It's really just one allergy season after another from February to November in Florida," Harwick said.

Events / Retailers Roundtable« on: June 17, 2012, 10:50:26 PM »
I got my ticket for NHC and recently opened a homebrew store. There's no information on here about the retailers roundtable listed for wed afternoon. Does anyone know what to expect from this meeting? Except for this, I wasn't planning to come until Thursday evening, because I'm really pressed for time. Is this something worth coming early for?

Tom Brady Is Terrible & Other Things You Need To Know Heading Into the NFL's 5th Week
Division races are beginning to take shape as the NFL heads to the fifth week of its 2014 season. Here are Week 5's most interesting storylines:
Division races are beginning to take shape as the NFL heads to the fifth week of its 2014 season. Here are Week 5's most interesting storylines:
San Francisco 49ers' Stevie Johnson took to his Twitter account last week to tell America they've been drafted to his 'Fantasy Work Team' and, of course, the tweets are hilarious.
Some might not have noticed, but, the Dallas Cowboys honored legendary coach Tom Landry in their win over the New Orleans Saints by having the offensive line do the "Landry Shift" - something I haven't seen since I was a kid.
Jamaal Charles scored three touchdowns, and the Chiefs thoroughly dominated the New England Patriots, 41-14, in Kansas City on Monday night.
ESPN is reporting that Dallas Cowboys cornerback Morris Claiborne for the season after he was injured in the game against the New Orleans Saints.
The guys over at Pro Football Mock might have outdone themselves with this latest conversation between NFL quarterbacks on Facebook. This time around, Dallas Cowboys quarterback, Tony Romo, starts off the NSFW conversation, which, of course, takes a hilarious turn.
With all the bad press the NFL is getting these days, it's refreshing to come across a story where we can all cheer a player.
Eli Manning threw four touchdown passes and ran in another score, and the New York Giants routed the Washington Redskins, 45-14, in Landover, Md. on Thursday night.
The 2014 NFL season is nearing the end of its first quarter. Week 4 brings the first byes of the year, a fiery old friend facing his former team for the first time and several key games. Here's what to look forward to this week:
Jay Cutler threw two touchdown passes to Martellus Bennett, and the Chicago Bears held on to beat the New York Jets, 27-19, on Monday night in northern New Jersey.
Dramatic victories and amazing comebacks highlighted Week 3 of the 2014 NFL season. Here's a recap of all of this weekend's action:
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell finally spoke in public about the league's domestic violence issues during a press conference on Friday, but it's an uninvited guest who had people talking.

Holiday Tables and Trees
I finally got help to post these pictures.
I used my wedding China because I thought it looked Christmasy the blue runner and white table cloth were a gift from my DD several years ago. The sleigh is from CTS and the trees and reindeer are from Big Lots. The chargers are from Dollar Tree. They were clear and sprayed dark blue.
A few years ago I added this white and gold tree. I was just going to put this one up, But my Santas were calling to me.I didn't have the energy or desire to drag the 8ft. tree up from the basement so I put the santas on this little table tree. they are usually the main feature of the TV Room tree.
The Christmas plates I got at KMart a few years ago.The placemats are from a Martha Stewart collection. The napkin rings I think I got at Ames. the Santas are from a local discount store. The center piece is from the grocery store and is getting a little tired
I hope you enjoy these pictures. They were taken with my new camera.
If I can talk my WONDERFUL DD into posting more pictures I'll send pictures of my Villages later.
Oh boy, nana...I certainly enjoyed your pics from your new camera & DD's help!
I love the combo of the blue runner, painted chargers & blues & silver in centerpc & your gorgeous wedding china is perfect! What is between the plates & charger? Looks intriquing! Lovely table!
Your Santa tree worked out wonderfully!...nice & full of cute Santas! Love it! And your white tree with the color of ornies you used is also very lovely.
Love the other table, too...just simple in it's own way...white t'cloth so rich...placemats bring out the color in the plates...& the Santa's at each place setting...look good with the pinery/candle centerpc.
TFS! Hope you can learn from DD more about posting pics...Jeanne S.
really like both table settings - the blue one will carry right on through January with just a little tweeking - the red tablescape is plain and just simply elegant. I love the nice clean lines it has TFS .....
Woooo Hoooo, NanaK got her PRETTY pictures posted!!
Both tables and dishes are lovely, especially the blue one.
Love it! And the white tree with gold ornaments. I'm seeing quite a few white trees (in pictures) this year that are grabbing my attention. Hope that doesn't mean I "need" one next year. LOL. Your Santa tree is darling.
hugs, Karen
So glad you posted pictures of your beautiful tables and trees. All of your dishes are so pretty. I love the blue and silver together. Your wedding china is perfect this time of year. I would like to know whats between your chg. and plate also. Fancy little bowls on top of plates too. Great cp you put together on this.
Is that neat natural wood and green cabinet holding your village collection in the back ground? Couldn't help but notice! White hutch w/silver tray and candles go so well with this table. Please tell us more about these.
Pretty white tree all decorated with gold. Are those beads that look like little gold dots on it? Turned out very pretty. I love your little Santa tree. You have so many cute ones hanging on it.
Wonderful Christmas dishes and your red napkins and gr rings look so nice on your tc DD bought you. Pretty holy glasses and love the gold flatware. Cute Santas at each place setting on here too.
So fun to see all this tonight.
Nana your pictures are wonderful! So glad you got to post them with your new camera and DD's help.
I think your tables are very pretty.
Your Blue & Silver table with your wedding china is lovely. I like how you layered your dishes. Did you add a silver doile and a metal plate for that look? It's very different.
I love the look of your Christmas china and how you added the Santas to each place setting.
I think your trees are both lovely. I like the look of the Santa one. Reminds me of an old fashioned tree and I'm really loving that white one too. Makes me want to look for one myself...I love how you decorated it.
I'm so glad Nana that you're finally able to join in and share your pictures with us. Keep em coming!
I'm glad I was able to get these pictures up.Thank you all for you wonderful comments. Jeanne, there is a silver doily and a clear plate between the charger and the plate. I thought the dinner plate looked a little small on the charger so I added the other one.
Punk The corner cabinet was an unpainted piece that DD #1 stained and drew the fruit on it for me almost 14 yrs ago. some of you may remember the oak buffet that was next to it. Well it has gone on to it's new home My youngest DD just purchased her first home and had the perfect place for it. It is a family heirloom, but it was to big for my small dining room . and looks much better in it's new place. The small white hutch is for my kitchen. I'm making a few changes there so it was residing in the dining room for a short time.
The garland on the white tree is cream and coppery colored beads. I wish I took a close up.of them I think they are really pretty . My Santas always make me smile.
I hope I answered all of your questions .i have to leave in 15 minutes for a Drs. appt so I'm rushing this I should've waited til I got back.
WooHoo! So glad you got to post. And such fabulous decorations. I just saw those reindeer at Big Lots and talked myself out of it. I'm all about sparkle so that whole blue table is right up my alley. I love your wedding china, it so mod looking. The gold tree is lovely and the little Santa pine is super.
Gosh, I think everyone else has said all I wanted to say! I love both of your tables, and I'm so thrilled that you were able to post your pictures. Your santa tree really made me smile, they are all so cute! The sparkly reindeer is wonderful, and your blue runner really makes it and your sleigh sparkle even more! I really think the doily between the plates gives a nice look too. Luvs
Gosh,OA, I forgot to mention those bowls. I've had them for so long I don't remember were I got them. They are a Dollar Store variety. They are a real staple in my house. We use them for everything from soup to nuts. My son reminded me that we were going to have cream of asparagus soup for a holiday dinner, and they were they only ones I could get enough of. Thanks for asking.

Regular toploaders
Im looking into getting a regular toploader. Do all of the newer ones have ATC to dumb down the hot water or are there still some that use water as hot as it comes out of the tap? Its primary use will be my husbands field gear and perhaps soaking for cloth diapers since my FL doesn't have that option. Would an older machine, say almost vintage, be ok for something like this or do I want to stick with something newer? Id like to stay as low in price as I can seeing as how it won't be used that often. Thanks for any suggestions!
Speed Queen uses Hot water not diluted down.
You can find a good used machine (Traditional agitator) on Craigslist or at a used dealer. Just check around.
Between SQ and used just depends on what you feel comfortable spending. If you buy a new SQ now, then when your HE washer breaks down you may just go to the SQ for your daily machine and like it better than the HE.?
Having recently (seven months) been through a situation similar to yours, I've come away with the opinion that there is only one machine that's still made like that -- Speed Queen. (I bought the AWN542 for about $850 installed.)
Thankfully, they've done a good job of it...kind of like Maytag used to build but better. I did examine a few outliers that still exist for less money but thought they were built so poorly they would be a bad purchase at any price.
"Vintage" by which I think you mean "used" is an option for old Maytags, IMHO, if you can find one that hasn't been run into the ground. Parts are still available. However, beware the tranny...they're still expensive. Where I live, used SQ's come up very infrequently.
After searching at Lowes, Home Depot, AAFES, Sears and Conn's I've come to that same conclusion. I was hoping to find a cheap machine that could use hot tap water and be non-HE but everything seems to have either ATC to "protect colors" (do they think we're all too stupid to choose temps on our own?) or load sensing to save water.
By "vintage" I meant a machine older than 1990... the people over at automatic washer seem to rave about older machines and how much better they are.
I suppose Speed Queen is pretty much my only choice, just not happy about the thought of spending so much to soak diapers, but what can ya do?
I checked craigslist but just about everything was fairly new (don't want ATC or HE or locking lids) or located in Juarez and there was no way I was gonna risk life and limb for a washer haha. I've been to a few used appliance places but I think I need to keep looking. A few of the places were seedy and 2 of them no one spoke English :-/ There are quite a few of them here so I'll just have to weed through them.
Hi ariom. I actually bought the dryer that goes with the 542 washer. I purchased the high end model by accident actually.
I wanted the less expensive model that had a drum light. Nevertheless am very satisfied with both machines.

Stockton, fifty shades of grey, the box says fog with an "X" which probably means too dark for a picture, "how do you take a picture of fog I ask"?Rain the weather will be coming by express from Siberia at the weekend, all us folk with one foot in the North Sea will get it in the neck and other places, enough to freeze the toe nails off a brass monkey. Don't tell the people in Hartlepool.
The series was made spring and summer this year as they were wet each programme and they did mention lost harvest during the war which made me think.I know memory of weather is often fickle but do not remember a bad summer during that time, we always got the harvest in although some would be harvested by hand after wind had blown the crops down, it came in for animal feed.!939-40 winter we had a lot of snow but a glorious summer. !940-41 a cold winter, I have pictures of me sledging on the banks behind our house, then mild times until the winter of 1944-45 the coldest winter for a long time and the Battle of the Bulge. The Summer of 44 we had a bad June July then a hot long period.The worst winter was 1946-47 when people could climb out of the bedroom window onto the snow, places were cut off for months and they were still digging trains out of cuttings in March, that again was followed by a long hot summer with heath fires in Hampshire, the dry period set back the crops at a time we really needed them.Near the village were water meadows which would flood to three or four inches deep then freeze, the best skating rink possible and the village would turn out to skate. We had iron skates that clipped onto our boots like the roller skates, fun would be had by all, usually there would be a brazier roasting chestnuts we never seemed to be short of them in the war.
Stockton light showers!!! I hope it is right as the clouds are almost touching the ground, if that lot opens up we will need an Ark. We would of course load it as is our custom, men and whippets first women and children last.
Flowering Rose, methinks you may have the wrong idea, the food in the container had to be brought to the boil then put in the hay box, it then slow cooks because the straw holds the residual heat. Once in the hay box it will take 2-3 hours to cook through.The Army used and still use hay boxes only they are a double skin container well insulated on the outside and then the second skin filled with boiling water. The food containers are brought to the boil sealed and put in the cavity of the box which is sealed and left until needed cooking as it sits there.My wife in the 70's would put her one pot dishes in the oven and switch it on for a slow cook overnight. It could then be warmed up on a camping stove when needed.
Stockton is sunny and warm, clear sky on all sides.The pork is in the oven and the lovely aroma tickling my nose as I have a quick cuppa so back to work, bedding can go from washer to line, apple sauce to make and veg to prepare, an easy day then.
Not a lot to say, I never saw flax grown in our area but did learn that the linseed oil I kept my bat in condition with came from flax seed something I never knew.We did basket making at school as well as raffia weaving but the potato picking trugs were all wire baskets.The American GMC deuce and half trucks were 1950's and the Jeep probably a bit later.The bread made from sillage was what many Germans ate it was not here, they did not make that point very clear.Ruth seems to be well used to plucking and ploating birds and rabbit, all the women in our family could do that without turning a hair, few could do it today.Next week they come to VE day which was not the end of the war as a lot of people think it went on until August 5th 1945 with Victory over Japan. All the effort turned from the war in Europe to what we thought would be a very long war in the Pacific. Then we got the austere years when rations were reduced and bread rationed for the first time, it was never rationed during the war. That went on until the 1950's, ten to twelve years of shortages, it was not war ends all back to normal but things getting much worse. How did our mothers manage?
Looking in the fridge saw two big bunches of leeks that needed using so on went a big pot of Leek and Potato soup. Start it with lardons of bacon and onion chopped in the pan then finely chopped veg followed by the potato sweat it all for ten minutes add the garlic and chicken stock plus seasoning paprika and herbs, simmer blitz and some nice chunky bread a good starter. I had to make the chicken pie as well, Daughter left two cakes and took some pie.Fresh Pork tomorrow.
Jo, Saturday morning TV is worse than having a cold, just watch the birds much better for the brain.Stockton clear and sunny, true little box, you got it right there's a bright golden haze over Rains Hills and it is lighting the room up "O eck as like" it is also showing the bits on the carpet and the daughter is coming up, out with the hoover then fast.
I could not manage to eat a whole Chinese Zoomer that knotted hair pig tail sticks in my throat.Made do with Home made cheese and onion pie with chips tomato cucumber dressed with sweet chile, after was ice cream only a short time ago, tomorrow is chicken pie. "Err" hm oh eck, two pies in two days not good. planning?
Stockton sunny and clear, quick look out of window!!!Cannot see anything for the sea mist.

Cannes: Roger L. Simon to Pen 'The Future of Now'
Oscar-nominated screenwriter Roger L. Simon will pen the script for The Future of Now, the second feature from newly launched Primeridian Entertainment.
Arcadiy Golubovich, a principal of Primeridian, will make his directorial debut with the dystopian drama. His Primeridian partner, Tim O'Hair, will produce.
Primeridian is fully financing the Washington, D.C.-set pic, with casting slated for June and shooting aiming for fall.
PHOTOS: 'The Bling Ring' Steals the Spotlight at Cannes Premiere
The author of 10 novels, Simon was nominated for an Academy Award for best screenplay for 1989's Enemies: A Love Story. He also received a screenplay credit for A Better Life, which led to an Oscar best acting nomination for Demian Bichir.
"We are very excited to work with such a smart, seasoned, and talented writer such as Roger on this project," said Golubovich. "We developed this idea observing the American news media and power structure from my international perspective, and the notion of idealism gone awry."
Just days earlier at the fest, Primeridian announced its first feature, based on the life Nobel Prize-winning author Alexander Solzhenitsyn, would be directed by Cyrus Nowrasteh (The Day Reagan Was Shot). The new company aims to produce two to four films per year.

Do digestive enzymes make you drowsy?
I'm taking digestive enzymes to help my poor digestion but they make me sooooooo drowsy that I can't even function for 4 hours afterwards. Is this normal? The dosage is 2 with each meal but even one knocks me over. Most M.D.'s say they are not even necessary because most digestion takes place after the food leaves the stomach. Health sites say they are necessary. Who to believe. I think I will only be able to take them at night when I'm hyper. THoughts?
health sites that sell digestive enzymes say they're nessecary...
ones that don't never seem to mention them.
are you chewing your food, eating small portions, and not diluting your stomach acid with too much liquid during meals?
that's how we prep food for digestion. that's how we've done it for 20,000 years..and how animals with effecient digestive tracts do it.
not to mention there's one enzyme that breaks down protein, one that breaks down carbs...and they cancel one another out, so if you're taking enzymeS, that might be why you're sleepy- you're forcing things to work overtime.
what IS the ingredient list on these pills, anyway?
and what are you eating?
Enzymes make some people sleep becaue they break down food and matter in the digestive tract so they cause toxin to enter you bloodstream thus making you sleepy or drowsy. These reaction may not last long and you can lessen the effects if you drink more water to help speed up the flushing of these toxis from your body. Never take enzymes on an empty stomach unless you plan on eating right afterward. Reason: enzymes break matter and food down if there is nothing in your body to break down then the enzymes may be too strong and cause you to feel sleepy, get a headache, or feel foggy. If you are new to enzymes you more than likely should start slow. Get your body use to this new digestive aid by taking just 1 capsule twice daily with meals or just before meals. After a few weeks go to 3 or 4 capsules daily 1 before 3 meals or 2 before 2 of your meals. Enzymes do speed up your metabolism and this is a good thing but may take some getting use to.

HI Tom,
I tried the code from cookbook and I noticed that all the seqence item are the same. I also tried to define the seqence item in the upper layer to be extended from the lower layer and it also work. I think it shows better example that sequence item itself can be sync'd to the layer.

The unlikely third chapter in a highly unlikely franchise, "A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas," sees our favorite multi-culti stoner duo of Harold (John Cho) and Kumar (Kal Penn) taking on the merry yuletide spirit as only they could. And in a weird way, it makes perfect sense to pair the boys with Christmas, since for all their bad-ass, pan-Asian Cheech and Chong vibe, the 'Harold & Kumar' movies (2004's "Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle" and 2008's "Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay") have largely been sweet fables about the power of friendship and not the outrageous shock-fests they masquerade as.

No love for Zobrist, Beckham?
Reasons why those two and others should be higher in our midseason Top 250
The big question is, of course, are any of us wrong? Or right, for that matter?
Well, we shall see. Hey, I love rankings just like the next guy or gal, because they're just fun to look at and stir debate. They're also controversial. Karabell likes Shin-Soo Choo more than Matt Holliday? To the guillotine he shall go! Debating and disagreeing is part of the reason we do the rankings, and our goal seems to have been achieved. We thank you for the feedback.
Second-half preview
Check out all our coverage leading into the second half of the baseball season:
• Fantasy Focus: 2nd-half preview
• Consensus top 250 rankings
• Our experts defend their rankings
• Berry: My rankings discrepancies
• Harris: Where my rankings differed
• Karabell: 10 guys I think are legit
• Mass: The value of value
• Starting pitching rankings analysis
• Relief pitching rankings analysis
• Hitting rankings analysis
I actually had trade talks affected by the rankings this weekend. I wanted/needed to move Mike Cameron in a league so I could make room for a player I wanted/needed more, a deal was worked out, and then -- voilà! -- the potential trade partner saw where I ranked the Brewers outfielder and started to get cold feet. Or maybe he was just "playing the game" and using the leverage against me. That happens a lot in my leagues. If I'm offering up a player, other owners tend to think something's wrong with him. I eventually moved Cameron, but let's just say had I ranked him in my top 100, instead of No. 158 -- which was still far higher than the consensus -- I would have gotten more in trade. Oh well.
The bottom line on the rankings is to enjoy them for what they are, which is good, clean fun. They're nothing to get too worked up over, nor should they elicit anger if you happen not to agree. Maybe you can use them to your advantage in trade talks. Maybe you can even do so against me! Whatever the case, like others on our staff, I have a whole host of players whose rankings I agreed or disagreed with. I want to keep things positive, though, and discuss hitters who I think are more "legit" than everyone else. Ultimately, isn't that what this project is about? Streaks come and go, and obviously affect numbers, but if I think someone is legit and believe his performance is going to be strong, I should elaborate.
Ten hitters I ranked higher than everyone else
Prince Fielder, 1B, Brewers: I was a bit surprised myself that I ranked Fielder so high (seventh overall), but I didn't like the other options in the top 10, and I don't see why he couldn't be more of the 2007 version of himself than last season's version. Frankly, I think Fielder is going to finish with the best numbers of his young career. Would I rather have Fielder or Carl Crawford the rest of the season? It absolutely depends on need. This isn't April. By now you know if you need stolen bases or power, so you can't make decisions or give advice in a vacuum. But in a vacuum, I take Fielder and expect the monster numbers to continue.
Justin Upton, OF, Diamondbacks: This is Miguel Cabrera with speed. Really, if I were starting a keeper-league team now, I think Upton would warrant third-round consideration, if not considerably better. Don't look at the strikeouts. He's on pace for 29 home runs and 23 steals, and he's 21 years old. When Vladimir Guerrero was young, he didn't take walks either, but man, he was exciting. That's Upton. I realize his brother runs a lot more, but Justin has the power and can run, and he's only getting better.
Aaron Hill, 2B, Blue Jays: He hit 20 home runs in the first half. The fact that it's already a career high does not prevent him from continuing his pace to 35 home runs. I remember the season Rich Aurilia went off and finished with 37 home runs. Fantasy owners couldn't run away fast enough when he got off to a hot start, but he continued for that glorious season. Sure, Hill isn't protected in the batting order by a Barry Bonds, but I think it's just too easy to say Hill can't keep hitting for average and power because he has never done it before. I won't rank him as a top-50 player next season, because to me it's asking a lot more for him to repeat his brilliant season than to continue his current one. He's locked in. After a winter, who knows? For these final 10 weeks, it's amazing he still can be had so cheap.
Ben Zobrist, 2B/SS/OF, Rays: Here's the poster boy for how my rankings differed from everyone else's. Zobrist's consensus rank was out of the top 100, but I had him at No. 43. I don't believe his season is a fluke, and I don't think anyone on staff should adjust our thinking so the rankings look more "normal," whatever that should mean. It's good to be different, and frankly, that's how you win a fantasy league: by taking chances when others refuse to. Maybe you tell me he has been merely a utility player before this season. To that I say he just needed opportunity. You say the power isn't real, and I point to a 30-homer pace, the decent walk rate and the fact that he bats fifth regularly for a good offensive team. I'm not going to call out others on staff for not believing; maybe they're right about him. Nobody really knows for sure, and they're just following the percentages. Then again, if Zobrist goes 30-90-20 and hits .300, as he's on pace to do, will anyone really care -- or remember -- where I ranked him in July?
Derrek Lee, 1B, Cubs: I know all the reasons why my ranking of Lee (at No. 59 overall, while nobody else ranked him better than 91st) looks egregious, but I also cannot assume his 17 home runs before the All-Star break mean he will suddenly stop just because the most home runs he has hit since his monster 2005 season is 22. Can Lee hit 35 home runs? I obviously believe he can, whether it's because of newfound health or a different approach at the plate. And since he's a career .282 hitter, I assume his batting average will also remain an asset. Sometimes when a player ceases providing a skill he used to, namely stolen bases, it can adversely affect his value. Let's enjoy Lee -- and Alex Rodriguez, for that matter -- for what he is doing right.
Ryan Ludwick, OF, Cardinals: Opinions change, sometimes very quickly. A month ago, I would have sold Ludwick for cheap. Now I won't. One must change one's mind about player performance when evidence dictates it, and the way Ludwick has been swinging since coming off the DL has convinced me he's back to being that 37-homer fella he was in 2008. As with Zobrist, I'm relying on Ludwick in multiple leagues, but that isn't swaying my opinion. His performance is -- plus the fact that the guy hitting ahead of him is the best player on the planet. I expect a huge second half.
Michael Bourn, OF, Astros: It's all relative to need, which is one of the flaws of the system when comparing players. If you want stolen bases, this guy will provide them as well as pretty much anyone out there right now, and he has a totally different approach than when he was brutal in 2008. No, he won't hit for power. Maybe his batting average will drop as well. But he's going to continue to steal bases. So is Bourn better than, say, Chris Carpenter? Well, if you need stolen bases and don't need pitching or the risk of a brittle pitcher, then yes, he is.
Gordon Beckham, SS/3B, White Sox: Everyone else left him out of the rankings, and they might be right in doing so, but from watching this rookie play lately, I see a more confident hitter than when he first came up and was an automatic out. Beckham looks to me like someone who will only improve his plate discipline and selectivity, and he has double-digit-homer power and speed. If he were outfield only, I'd look elsewhere, but at shortstop, he definitely appeals to me. In most drafts I'm not so concerned with my last player being a safe option; I want to take a few chances. If he stinks, I can always find someone on free agency to replace him.
Lastings Milledge, OF, Pirates: Again, it's the upside factor for me, and you can't tell me Milledge lacks upside. Maybe he's a bit overrated because of his 2008 performance, but he has been dumped by his second organization and absolutely has something to prove. Sure, I am well aware Milledge has struggled this season, but I believe motivation can be a critical factor in performance. Nobody else ranked Milledge in our midseason rankings. Everyone ranked J.D. Drew, and I'm even wondering why I ranked Drew a bit better, to be honest. Expect Milledge up within two weeks, and expect him to flash that power/speed package sooner than later.
Whatever happened to Ben Broussard?
Fantasy owners enjoying the Shin-Soo Choo experience should thank the Mariners for trading Choo to the Indians at the 2006 deadline for Broussard, who since that time has hit 18 major league home runs for Seattle and Texas but batted .243. Broussard hit three singles in 23 at-bats for Triple-A Charlotte (White Sox) in April, and the team had seen enough. Choo, meanwhile, is one of the most underrated players in baseball. He's not going to get MVP votes, not for the worst team in the AL, but he's on pace for 23 homers, 95 RBIs and 23 steals, with a strong batting average and many runs scored to boot. We're going to see trades similar to this in the next few weeks, young players with promise moved for established hitters with little upside. Maybe we've already seen it in the Oscar Salazar trade to San Diego. Salazar has hit for power in the minors and can play every infield position and probably corner outfield as well. He's no kid, but the Padres have nothing to lose in moving Cla Meredith and seeing what Salazar can do. I'll be watching from a fantasy perspective as well. As for Choo, maybe he can make a run at 30-30 next season.
It sure would be nice if Garrett Jones kept hitting
Stat of the week: 15
Jair Jurrjens might be the most underrated pitcher around. The only pitcher with more starts this season of allowing two or fewer earned runs than Jurrjens' 15 is Dan Haren, and we all know how good he is. That's right, Jurrjens has done this more times than Zack Greinke, Johan Santana, Roy Halladay and every other pitcher not named Haren. From a pure fantasy aspect, this does not make Jurrjens a top-20 pitcher. He's not winning a lot, thanks to low run support, and he's not a major strikeout pitcher. His ERA is terrific, and while it comes with a good WHIP, it's not a great one. Still, it's a bit crazy that Jurrjens can be less than 100 percent owned with a 2.77 ERA and this kind of consistency. I can tell you that in a head-to-head league he's a lot more valuable, because in that setup, you want good outings each week, even if you don't always get the wins and K's.
Final word
One of my most notable fantasy baseball league wins was accomplished mainly through a deadline-day trade in which I stole Terry Pendleton from another owner for a few pitchers I didn't need, one of them a closer named Jay Howell, who, I was sure, couldn't keep up his performance. Pendleton was seemingly an ordinary third baseman at the time, but he was hitting for average. He would end up hitting for power, too, and winning the NL MVP award, and I took a fantasy title. I was in second place when I made the deal, and acquired Pendleton from the first-place squad. That team finished fourth.
At the time, I recall leaguemates' calling me crazy for trading with the leader. This reminds me a great deal of the current baseball talk that the Blue Jays "can't" trade Roy Halladay to the Red Sox or Yankees, division rivals both. My question is, why not?
The Blue Jays know they can't win the AL East the way it's currently constructed. If they get what they need from the Yankees, for example, while possibly weakening that franchise long-term, I think an intra-division trade makes perfect sense. Do the Jays want to help the Angels more just because they face them less? Obviously the Jays aren't going to vault to the top this season by picking up top prospects, nor will the Yankees, in theory, lose more with Halladay. But hopefully you see my point. In fantasy it's the same way. Don't be afraid to trade with a team above you in the standings if you can help your own team more.
Back in 1991, I needed batting average and a third baseman. Pendleton was perfect. The first-place team needed saves, but he didn't get them in this deal. The fact that he thought he was getting saves gave him a false sense of security and made him think he didn't need to make more deals. He ended up losing five spots in batting average and in ERA, since the starter I gave him -- I wish I could remember the name -- got lit up, and Howell didn't help him move up in saves. I weakened that team, strengthened mine, and didn't care what my leaguemates thought. The Jays, like fantasy owners, should take the best deal on the table, regardless of team.

Economics Journalist Robert Kuttner on the "Most Serious Financial Crisis Since the Great Depression": "This is the Result of Rightwing Ideology and the Political Power of Wall Street"Amid growing fears of a worldwide recession, the Federal Reserve slashed a key interest rate by three-quarters of a percentage point on Tuesday, the biggest single cut in nearly a quarter of a century. Meanwhile, President Bush and congressional leaders pledged to work together on a stimulus measure that would inject about $150 billion in additional money into the economy.

Quiz: Remember the definition of mal de mer?
vehicle operated on the streets on rubber tires and powered by electricity drawn from two overhead wires by trolley poles. It is distinct from a trolley car, which runs on rails rather than on tires and is thus a form of streetcar.

and closed loop is far more efficient. the reason being that a well pump is usually min 1/2hp and frequently far more than that. vs a closed loop system that maybe uses a 1/4hp at most.
1 recommendation
and closed loop is far more efficient.
The heat pumps they had in Jamaica took 2 days to cool the rooms with the thermostat at its lowest setting. They were probably old, had a low BTU rating or both?
Open Loop still comes out ahead. Open loop pumps water lets say between 50 and 300 feet depending on your water table, closed loop pumps the same volume of water 600 feet.
I'd also like to point out that chart is not complete there is no mention of the EWT on the closed loop system.
I have never heard anyone try to say a closed loop is cheaper to run than an open loop.
quote:So the open loop system is providing 10,300 more BTUs than the closed loop system due to the elevated EWT. Open loop system is 435% eff vs. the closed loop operating at 371% eff. The thing thats missing is the well pump. The well pump runs 100% of the time that the heat pump is running (obviously turns off when the heat pump shuts down). A residential variable speed well pump will draw ~ 5 amps or more at lower flow rates. This equates to another 1.2 KW and takes the total COP down to 3.12. (or 312% eff). At this rate the closed loop system is more efficient with less operating costs. Its the turtle that wins the race in this example.
We have been talking about putting in a geothermal system, and I have been researching them for the past 3-4 months. Even if I'm wrong about that pump, everything I have seen in that time shows the open loop system overall is cheaper to operate than closed loop. I have read many different sites, and I have never seen anyone make the case that the closed loop is overall more efficient.
read what you posted. the inlet water temps are the problem. get them down during the cooling season and the lost efficiency returns plus the lower pump draw equals more efficient. 2+2 still equals 4 no funny math needed it's all right there. do what you want with your water there. in the end the difference in the bill is going to maybe be $10-15/m depending on your electric rates. for me the closed loop isn't nearly as much about my power bill is it is about the wanton wasting of good water so i can be cool.
There is also non-monetary considerations such as can the well support the demands, what to do with the discharge water, water quality, etc.
talking about drinkable water resources. it takes many many years for the aquifer recharge cycle to take place. that's where it's wasted.
I'm using an open loop geothermal system.In the coldest months in Michigan I use about $250 to $300 worth of electricity.I'm on a 4" well about 65' deep that can supply two showers and the geothermal all at the same time. We are using about $100 of electricity for the lights, tv's, and other appliances, meaning I'm heating my house for $150 to $200 a month. (Day's can be really short so the lights are on longer.)The outside discharge loop runs a to a drainage tile system that is also used by our septic system. Keeps the grass green in the back yard... The water table around here is about 10 -20 feet down and we have many swamps, ponds, streams, and rivers. (this is west MI after all).In this system the water is never exposed directly to the air since all the piping and drainage systems are underground. While a farmer watering his crops will be loosing water to evaporation, a properly installed geothermal system will have very little water wasted in that fashion.I would have no issues with anyone withdrawing water from an aquifer for geothermal using this system.

Finding non-tax revenue, House-style
Hours before Senate budget-writers publicly discuss their search for non-tax revenue, the House Appropriations Committee is laying out bills to do the same. The meeting started with Rep.

Cambridge University To Open "Terminator Center" To Study Threat From AI 274
from the I'll-be-in-the-back-of-the-clas dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Of the four things cited, AI is perhaps the least likely to kill us all, seeing as it doesn't exist.
Movie-style AI might not exist today. However, we do have drones flying around, the better ones depending only very little on their human controller. It won't be too long before our friends at Raytheon etc. convince our others friends in the government that their newest drone is capable of making the 'kill decision' all by itself using some fancy schmancy software.
It takes only 1 dumb human to remove the air gap or allow for a system that removes air gaps of other systems.
To summarize the summary of the summary: People are a problem.
Some things don't scale well. Like with the space race - humanity went from sending a pound of metal into low orbit to putting a man on the moon within 12 years. Everybody assumed that by 2012 we would be colonizing the moons of Jupiter. Yet it turned out human space travel becomes exponentially difficult with the distance.
I'm afraid the same thing goes for software. The more complicated it gets the more fragile it is.
Of the four things cited, none is "giant rock from space" which is pretty much more likely to kill us than the four mentioned combined.
After any salary raise, you will have less money at the end of the month than you did before.

Help identifying an entire garden? (Round 3)
A few years ago, I purchased a home formerly owned by an enthusiastic gardener who planted many beautiful perennials. Unfortunately, the home then was bought by a family who didn't put nearly as much time and effort maintaining the garden. When I purchased the home from them, the beds were completely overgrown and weedy. I am fairly new to perennial gardening and would like to try to figure out what I have, figure out what are weeds and what aren't, and start bringing back the garden to something close to its former glory.
I posted to this group a couple times, and got a tremendous response, so I thought I'd try a third round with plants that have since come into bloom. This round is pretty skimpy...turns out my garden is in sore need of color come late June/early July. Any suggestions on favorites for blooms this time of year?
Anyway, the new round of pictures are posted at: http://www.kodakgallery.com/BrowsePhotos.jsp?&collid=85054108208.
Generally, I've tried to take one picture of the plant and its surroundings so that you can see its growing habit, as well as close-ups of flowers and leaves. (Sorry for some of the blurry photos this round.) I've also labeled plants that I know the names of...generally, I only know common names, but if you can provide more specific names, I'd appreciate the additional information.
Thanks in advance, and many thanks to everyone who's helped me out in the past two rounds!
Here is a link that might be useful: Mystery plants round 3
1 is an oak seedling....producing new growth for some reason.
2...you're right a weed!
3 and 4 are achillea.....a rather tame variety....likely "summer pastels" certainly not invasive at least for me.
5....day lily....too close to the ditch lily....fulva, for me.
6 not baby's breath and not achlilea "the Pearl"....don't know what it is....looks a bit like a weed to me.
Linda C
Thanks for the input. I've summarily dispatched the oak seedling and also updated the captions under the pictures. I uploaded a few more pictures of plants that have started to bloom a little more, and also uploaded some clearer pictures of 06 (the maybe Achillea Ptarmica?) for better ID. New pictures begin here: http://www.kodakgallery.com/PhotoView.jsp?&collid=85054108208&photoid=48473298208
Pitimpinai - thanks much, and actually very helpful. As for the Phlox paniculata(?), I suspect Lindac is right and that it's a weed, but I'll leave it for now and see if it does anything interesting. I do have some Phlox nearby, so perhaps it's a volunteer?
NHBabs - I'm not sure what's going on with the weblink. I gave it a shot, and it worked OK for me...could you give it another try?
Lindac, Janice C - Thanks for the confirm on the Achillea. I'll do a little more research on these. As for the ditch lily, are they typically harmful or invasive, or are they called ditch lilies just because they're common? As long as they won't hurt anything, I'll probably keep them since my garden is in need of mid-summer color. Thoughts?
Yes, Achillea ptarmica 'Angel's Breath'. I have a group exactly like that. In fact, I thought you might have taken the photos of my garden without my knowledge. :-D
Don't have the Hydrangeas.
The last ones are definitely Echinecea purpurea.
Sounds great. I guess I'll hang onto my ditch lilies...I'm glad to have anything that I can't easily kill.
In my walk through the garden today, I noticed a couple of new plants which, given their size, I should have noticed before. I've posted a few new pictures at http://www.kodakgallery.com/PhotoView.jsp?&collid=85054108208&photoid=35737509208
Any additional help on these would be appreciated!
Thanks again.
the two "fleshy" plants near the bottom of the list are the poke, they do indeed get VERY tall. they have massive roots. pulling them up is only going to work immedeatly after a heavy rain. they have some uses, but mostly are considered a weed. the trunks are hollow, and when dried out they areVERY woody. and the berries are poison. My kids Love to play lumberjack, as they cut down very easily.
It looks like you have pretty good IDs on everything except the hydrangea. Why don't you try posting that on the hydrangea forum since those experts will be able to ID which specific variety. It's a H. macrophylla ( or maybe H. serrata, though those are less common as they are newer to commerce in this country) of some kind. Yours is a mophead variety. (There are also a group called lacecaps with the larger flowers only around the edge and smaller flowers that look more like just buds in the center or each cluster.) I can't ID what kind since we're too cold up here to grow any kind of macrophylla except Penny Mac and Endless Summer.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles:
Improved Stategic and Acquisition Planning Can Help Address Emerging Challenges
GAO-05-395T: Published: Mar 9, 2005. Publicly Released: Mar 9, 2005.

(202) 512-4800
The current generation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) has been under development for defense applications since the 1980s, and as the Department of Defense (DOD) transforms its military operations, UAVs are becoming increasingly vital. Today's testimony identifies (1) GAO's preliminary observations on operational successes and emerging challenges from ongoing GAO work reviewing UAV current operations, (2) the extent to which DOD has developed a strategic plan and oversight body to manage its investment in UAVs, and (3) lessons from GAO's prior work that can be used to promote the efficient development, fielding, and operational use of UAVs.
Current UAV operations have achieved mission successes, but some challenges are emerging. Among the successes, the Predator UAV has performed traditional intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions and less traditional close air support and armed strike missions. In addition, certain small UAVs have enabled troops to accomplish their missions at greater distances from enemy positions. Nonetheless, UAV operations have been hampered by certain emerging challenges. For example, some UAVs are not fully interoperable with others, with manned aircraft systems, or even with conventional forces. Certain UAVs are unable to operate in sandstorms or other poor weather conditions, thus forfeiting some of the advantages otherwise available from the sensor payloads. And UAVs increasingly compete for limited bandwidth. DOD still lacks a viable strategic plan and oversight body to guide UAV development efforts and related investment decisions. DOD has set up a Joint UAV Planning Task Force to guide UAV development and fielding, but the task force has only limited authority and cannot enforce program direction. DOD's UAV Roadmap contains some elements of a strategic plan, but it does not describe the interrelationship of service roadmaps to the DOD Roadmap or clearly identify funding priorities. Thus, DOD may not be well positioned to make sound program decisions or establish funding priorities, nor will Congress have all the information it needs to evaluate funding requests. Such a plan would also help DOD minimize the types of challenges that are emerging. DOD has not consistently implemented best practices in developing and fielding UAVs. GAO has found that programs have succeeded when DOD has used innovative development processes, relied on evolutionary technology development, ensured high-level management attention, and constrained resources and relied on achievable technologies. Development has been hampered when DOD has insisted on requirements that outstripped technology, rushed into production before completing testing, used overly ambitious schedules, or engaged in concurrent testing and production.

Recent East Hampton Reviews
Happy 2015!
Why didn't I do it before?? We rented River House for short 2015 New Year vacation. We arrived on 31 and left on 2 of Jan. And those were great couple of getaway nights! House is cozy and has everything you need! Magnificent views of CT River! Can't wait to come back in summer to enjoy it again! Thanks a lot for giving us the opportunity to stay at the River House!
Cozy stay and warm property manager!
I had to go to Connecticut for work reasons and due to the length of the stay without a definitive end date, my husband came with me. Patty, the homeowner, welcomed us and made us feel comfortable and checked on us regularly to ensure all our needs were met. It was quiet and felt like a home away from home. When it came to needing to extend my stay and additional week, it was a no-brainer that I wanted to continue to stay in the home. We were able to do this so it allowed me not to have to re-locate and focus on my project at work. Lastly, when I did get time off, it was a short walk to the lake or to a local restaurant for easy relaxation without having to deal with crowds or traffic. Would definitely stay again!
Wonderful Trip on the Connecticut River - With an Amazing House Included
Great Historic house on the Connecticut River with breathtaking views of the river and picturistic sunsets. Our family was lucky enough to spend 4 days at Knowles Landing. Weather was unbelievable and we were able to kayak, fish, polar bear dive, picnics on the dock, and football on the river yard frontage. In the house you can see the river from all windows and the third floor bedroom is like being at your own resort. Beautiful town and area filled with history and views all along the river. Plenty of local site seeing opportunities and restaurants nearby. Probably the first time in a long time I have not watched TV in 4 days. The solitude is amazing. This location made it a great place to visit with family. Hope to visit again very soon in the near future. Thank you Sue, for your wonderful hospitality and allowing our family to make such a wonderful memory. As my father said it best, "Life is made of memories. Thank you for a BIG one."
