Why This Rabbi Started the Year in a Small Texas Town
In the summer of 2013, I left a wonderful congregation in North Carolina to pursue an exciting opportunity on the staff of Gann Academy in Massachusetts. Many of the rabbis I work with at Gann Academy take on added responsibilities during the High Holy Days, helping out at Hillels, chavurot, and synagogues in the Boston area. As we swapped sermon ideas and commiserated over cantillation, my colleagues were surprised to learn that I'd be spending the holidays with Temple Emanu-El of Longview, Texas as part of the ISJL's "Rabbis on the Road" program.
Though I am familiar with the South, even I wasn't sure what to expect from a community that would fly in a rabbi from 1,700 miles away, sight unseen, to lead their High Holy Day services. As I left the airport, speeding down Route 20 from Dallas, Kol Nidre playing on the rental car stereo, I realized that, for the first time, I was leading the entire High Holy Day service, and I had no idea what the minhag ha-makom [local custom] was in East Texas.
As soon as I arrived in Longview, however, I found everything I could have hoped for in a community: open and supportive, warm and welcoming. And in addition to the southern hospitality I'd been missing in Boston, I discovered one of the most dedicated collections of lay leaders I have ever encountered.
Though the Jewish population of Longview has dwindled over the years, a small cadre of dedicated families has maintained their synagogue both physically and spiritually. The temple building is not only immaculately kept, but also frequently put to use. While rabbinical leadership has diminished from full-time to biweekly to occasional visits from the ISJL, Temple Emanu-El continues to hold lay-led Shabbat services and dinners nearly every week.
Temple Emanu-El doesn't just serve the longstanding members of the Longview community. As the only synagogue in a 40-mile radius, Jews – and the many, many local friends of the Jewish community – came in from the surrounding communities of Marshall and Kilgore. On both Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, I noticed young couples, new to town and far from home, joining the community for the first time.
Many families had a tradition of inviting their children and grandchildren to spend one of the holidays with them, and more than one family had three generations present at our Yom Kippur service. Practically every synagogue I've been to offers separate programming for children, so I was curious as to what the young people would get out of the service. Would they be bored? How would they respond to a worship experience that was not designed for them?
There were some naps, and yes, there were some meltdowns. But there were also helpers at Havdallah, Judaic crayon art created during the sermons, and exuberant demonstrations of cheer routines during the break-fast. Instead of feeling like the rabbi of a very small congregation, I started to feel like a member of a very large family.
My favorite moment of my visit was when, at the end of the Kol Nidre service, at nearly ten o'clock in the evening and following a lengthy, aimed-at-adults sermon, two young sisters shyly approached the bimah, nudging each other and whispering.
"You tell her!"
"No, you tell her."
Finally, one of them said, "In part of your sermon, you were talking about Jonah, but you said Noah."
So, they were paying attention…
Celebrating the holidays with Temple Emanu-El certainly kept me on my toes. It also showcased the dedication, commitment, and attention to detail of a community I might not otherwise have had a chance to meet. I headed home feeling that the Jewish future is in good hands. And that's a great way to start the New Year.

Why We Came South
As we prepare for the new year ahead, we'll be sharing several Southern & Jewish posts reflecting on "how we spent our summer." Today's post come from two guests who visited us down South, Jay Saper and Margot Seigle.
This May, the two of us—white Jews who grew up in the Midwest—traveled down to Mississippi. Inspired by emerging efforts to develop the South as a hub for cooperative enterprise, we sought to learn more at the Jackson Rising New Economies Conference. Like the Jews involved in the Civil Rights movement in the generations before us, we came South, too.
As we waited for the shuttle to pick us up from the Medgar Evers Airport to take us to Jackson State University, we strolled into an exhibit about the person after whom the airport was named. In 1954, Medgar Evers was appointed the first NAACP field secretary for the state of Mississippi. He traveled the state courageously advocating for Black rights.
Evers' bravery came with a toll. After driving home on the evening of June 12, 1963, he took shirts reading "Jim Crow Must Go" out of the car to bring inside his home. He started up his driveway, but a bullet took his life before he could make it to the door.
The following year, building on Evers' dedicated decade of organizing, a coalition of civil rights organizations launched Mississippi Freedom Summer. It was a summer of change – and of more loss. As we read the names of Chaney, Schwerner, and Goodman on the wall of the exhibit in the Jackson airport, we wondered at their legacy, and our own role in coming South.
At the Jackson Rising New Economies Conference we learned about an exciting way people in the South are working to challenge racism today: by building a democratic economy that meets their presently unmet needs. This approach to community resilience comes out of a long tradition documented by Jessica Gordon Nembhard in Collective Courage: A History of African American Cooperative Economic Thought and Practice.
We got to meet with John Zippert, a fellow Jew who has long acted in solidarity with Blacks in the South to advance racial and economic justice through the cooperative model. The son of refugees from Nazi Germany, Zippert was active in social struggles from a young age in New York City. In the summer of 1965, Zippert went South as a volunteer with the Congress of Racial Equality. He helped farmers looking for a better price on their sweet potatoes to set up a cooperative. Through this work he met Carol Prejean. The two would go on to be the first married interracial couple in Louisiana.
Since 1970, Zippert has been working for the Federation of Southern Cooperatives, an organization that grew directly out of the Civil Rights Movement. The Federation works to maintain Black owned land and expand the use of cooperatives for economic development. It has been integral to challenging discrimination against Black farmers by the USDA. In 2012, Tuskegee University inducted Zippert into the George Washington Carver Hall of Fame for his tireless dedication to those who are disadvantaged.
The organizers from Cooperation Jackson and the Southern Grassroots Economies Project communicated with us that the movement for economic democracy is building in exciting and powerful ways. There is still a lot of work to be done, and when we come together, that work can get done. That's why we came South, and will continue to partner with the amazing individuals and groups fighting for social change today.

Letting a New Light Shine
I am coming up on my one-year anniversary of working at the Jewish Women's Archive. It's a pleasant shock that nearly twelve months have passed since I joined the Jewish communal world; before I came to JWA, I maintained a safe distance from full-time employment with a Jewish organization.
I left my position as executive director of a summer writing camp last spring to figure out my next steps. Like many women my age (I am looking directly into the jaws of turning 50) I knew that the time had come to make a deliberate change. My kids were getting older, I needed more colleagues, more intellectual grist, blah blah blah.
Last month, I had the good fortune of reflecting on the changes of this past year, as I prepared to teach my first workshops with my JWA skirt on. I went to Jackson, Mississippi for the annual education conference of the Goldring/Woldenberg Institute of Southern Jewish Life (ISJL). As a guest presenter, I taught about the importance of primary source-based learning, Jews and the music of the civil rights movement, and what inspiring Jewish women like Bella Abzug and Queen Esther can teach us about costumes and identity.
Moments like this are when I know I made the right shift in my career. I am learning a whole new lexicon. A new prism for viewing the world. A history I knew existed, but didn't really know how to access. A framework for living the next decades of my life. An understanding that feminism is not monochromatic. And, as a result, a passion for the subject matter I get to shepherd(ess) every day.
Which brings me, again, to the ISJL. I listened to music from the civil rights era pretty much nonstop for a few weeks to get me into the mindset for teaching the topic. I learned many new details about Freedom Summer. I read and re-read Heather Booth's letter to her brother, in which she writes about her "fear and exhaustion" but also the "songs that help to dissipate the fear." The more I learn about Freedom Summer (I got an early look at the extraordinary new Stanley Nelson documentary which premiered June 24 on PBS), the more I am humbled by the bravery of all the volunteers.
I am also profoundly inspired by the Jewish civil rights workers who comprised an estimated 50% of those college-age volunteers that summer. They went to heal fractured communities, to encourage the disenfranchised to vote, to bring a modicum of dignity to those whose basic democratic freedoms had been denied for over a hundred years, and to try and build a better world for the next generation through the creation of Freedom Schools.
Is it okay to say I had fun preparing for my first conference, even when the topics were tough? I had fun because I discovered new ways to think about my own history and identity and how to translate these discoveries for others. I have a new modus operandi, which I am proud to have and even prouder to impart—I kinda lectured friends at dinner about the important Jewish role models who preceded us, and not only were my friends encouraging, they were thrilled to learn the stories that were new to them.
And I had a great time teaching at the ISJL conference; the educators were smart, eager to learn new materials, and committed to sustaining Jewish life in their home towns. As a northeastern Jewess, I was moved to learn about the many small communities in the South where one Jewish educator nurtures and nourishes the children growing up there, and how, like Bella and Esther, these educators have to wear a few identities to navigate their different orbits.
My time in Jackson also had an unexpected "shining moment." I met Pam Confer, who was at the hotel to plan for Freedom Summer activities later in the week. I asked her if she would come and sing "This Little Light of Mine" during my presentation on civil rights and music. I had planned on playing a recording of Betty Fickes' version of the song, but the thrill of having a local artist sing was too tempting to pass up; her beautiful voice filled the room and showed us all how the power of music can bring people together. Everyone was smiling and clapping; the mood in the room was electric.
Thank you, ISJL, for introducing me to Southern Jewish life, and giving me the chance to experience shining a new light. And as we approach the 4th of July holiday, may we continue working toward liberty for all!

This was not the story I was looking for when I looked up crossovers between Fate/Stay Night and Familiar of Zero, but it was exactly what I wanted. Iskandar was my favorite Servant, and whenever he showed up in the grim, intense series, he would always make me smile. I don't know if you're planning on continuing this story (after a three year hiatus), but my favorite part of the Fate series was watching the contrasts between the world views of the legendary kings, so I'll be looking forward to seeing how he interacts with Henrietta.

Quiz: Remember the definition of mal de mer?
Old English candel "lamp, lantern, candle," an early ecclesiastical borrowing from Latin candela "a light, torch, candle made of tallow or wax," from candere "to shine," from PIE root *kand- "to glow, to shine, to shoot out light" (cf. Sanskrit cand- "to give light, shine," candra- "shining, glowing, moon;" Greek kandaros "coal;" Welsh cann "white;" Middle Irish condud "fuel").
Candles were unknown in ancient Greece (where oil lamps sufficed), but common from early times among Romans and Etruscans. Candles on birthday cakes seems to have been originally a German custom. To hold a candle to originally meant "to help in a subordinate capacity," from the notion of an assistant or apprentice holding a candle for light while the master works. To burn the candle at both ends is recorded from 1730.
candle can·dle (kān'dl)
See candela.
Heb. ner, Job 18:6; 29:3; Ps. 18:28; Prov. 24:20, in all which places the Revised Version and margin of Authorized Version have "lamp," by which the word is elsewhere frequently rendered. The Hebrew word denotes properly any kind of candle or lamp or torch. It is used as a figure of conscience (Prov. 20:27), of a Christian example (Matt. 5:14, 15), and of prosperity (Job 21:17; Prov. 13:9).
egg-grading process in which the egg is inspected before a penetrating light in a darkened room for signs of fertility, defects, or freshness. First used to check embryo development in eggs being incubated, candling is used in modern commercial egg production primarily to rate quality
light source now mostly used for decorative and ceremonial purposes, consisting of wax, tallow, or similar slow-burning material, commonly in cylindrical form but made in many fanciful designs, enclosing and saturating a fibrous wick.

My stairs, wip
inspired by Silvamae! I proposed the use of plexi and Dh - liking that it wasn't permanent) agreed to allow me to mosaic our stairs.
I have a large panel of TG from craigslist, so that seems like the cheapest way to do this. I pressed a bunch of leaves at the end of fall, for this project too.
here's a piece of scrap plexi that I used as a test board for the treatment that will go on the back. This is leaves and papers modge podged to the back and then metallic paints. all backed with gold foil.
Thanks Silva, Slow, Kati and Jane! I'm quite excited about this... I've got all the plexi cut and fitted, mounting holes drilled... I have a 6x3 sheet of TG cleaned and ready to break and I ordered the gold colored brite bak tape. Maybe I'll go down and start this today - feeling a little lost after the winter cow scene went so quick
here's one concept on color arrangements, there are 6 stairs
that's the way I had it pictured in my mind...
it's an ambitious project that's going to be fun to watch but not one I would want to tackle.
best of luck to you on this..
very nice leaves..
I have many leaves in cigar boxes..like buttons and other collections of things..
what is it about us, into mosaics, that are like this???
I have a drawer of leaves I saved after preserving them with mineral oil. Don't know what to do with them but can't get rid of them since they are so beautiful! What an ingenious idea! And such a HUGE project. Will be watching this closely. (Love the Ginko & Japenese Maple leaves!)
It's just like you to "bring the outside in"!!! And you didn't even need to use a backhoe heh heh!!! I think making staircases a focal point is sooo awesome!! And yours will be Totally Spectacular!!!
wow, thank you all for your replies, Seaglassic, Becky, Kati, Cindiloo, Jane and Betty (mental exercise and I got it all in order!)
still waiting for the glue to dry so I'm working on 2 other projects... one is clay and another small study like Virginia Winter...
all 6 stairs are now glued and installed, as soon as the glue clears on the last one I can grout! for the record, not one bit of this was enjoyable - the most tedious project of my life - It makes me understand why real artist have under studies do the work! lol
LOL thanks Jane and Slow. Yeah I really am happy with it, it makes me smile. But man it was hard to finish, seriously too much tempered glass - Ellen Blakeley I AM NOT! lol I can't tell for sure about DH, he hasn't complimented it but he hasn't knocked it either. At one point I mentioned that I was worried the plexi was still flexing after screw in up, he suggested I also glue them on. I reminded him that they were supposed to be removable and he shrugged about it. - I think thats his seal of approval.
on the grout, I don't care for white ever and when I first did it - blec but after going through and painting very light tint over each color I got the effect I wanted which was to have a lighter grout that the background tones. I'm quite pleased that I was able to maintain the same grout lines and placement from start to finish being a 2 month project (I had expected burnout to cause me to widen my spacing by the last step)

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Crowd-pleaser taps into the zeitgeist, makes it easy for audience
With A Few Good Men, screenwriter Aaron Sorkin tapped into something deep in the zeitgeist that is still being felt by large audiences on both stage and screen.
The 1992 movie version of Sorkin's courtroom thriller, about the court martial of two U.S. marines defended by navy lawyers, spawned television's JAG in 1995, which led in 2002 to NCIS (Naval Criminal Investigative Service), which last year was voted America's favourite TV show.
With such a history of crowd-pleasing, it's no wonder that Edmonton's Citadel Theatre and the Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre chose to open their 2012-13 seasons with a crisp stage version of A Few Good Men.
Its attributes are mostly appealing but occasionally annoying. There's no doubt that Sorkin's script is a tidy, old-fashioned melodrama, ideal for mass consumption. It offers an easy night in the theatre because Sorkin does all the thinking for the audience, avoiding ambiguity while making us feel good about being on the right side of military malfeasance. No wonder the guy is now a screenwriting heavyweight.
Much has happened in the world since A Few Good Men's debut on Broadway in 1989 — events such as 9/11, the Abu Ghraib torture scandal and the war on terror have changed the reaction to the military and to the story about the death of a marine named Santiago at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba.
Two young marines, Dawson and Downey, are quickly charged in the killing, appearing to having gone too far in subjecting Santiago to disciplinary action called Code Red, a euphemism for unauthorized (but sanctioned) punishment.
Some viewers will be uncomfortable with how A Few Good Men bangs the drum for the American military.
It opens with a brief commercial for the marines, with the cast singing the Marines' Hymn (you know, "From the halls of Montezuma"), making sure we hear the words, "First to fight for right and freedom /And to keep our honour free." Others will be turned off by the sexism, the bullying and the shouting of the marines.
Immediately we meet the accused, stoic soldiers who admit that they bound and gagged Santiago, stuffing his mouth with a rag that caused him to die of asphyxiation.
A female naval investigator and lawyer, Lt. Commander Joanne Galloway, lobbies to defend them, but the case is given to Daniel Kaffee, an unexperienced Judge Advocate General's Corps lawyer from the U.S. navy.
The fix is in, as Kaffee has a reputation for being so good at arranging plea bargains that he has never seen the inside of a courtroom.
The marine brass, including hard-ass commanding officer Col. Jessup, want the case to go away but Dawson and Downey won't plead guilty because they were only following orders.
In the Tom Cruise role as Kaffee, Charlie Gallant is suitably bratty, a hotdog more interested in softball games than in the hardball played in the courtroom. Gallant's handling of lightning-fast repartee, often at full volume, is impressive as Kaffee emerges as a David against the Goliath of the military system.
Galloway has her own issues to overcome, most notably the old boys who don't want her to play. She doesn't even get a seat at the table of men who are discussing the case. Her initial isolation is visually communicated by her uniform, which is white when the guys are in khaki, and khaki when they are in their dress whites. As the only female in the 16-member cast, Lora Brovold manages to stand up to Kaffee with fire and finesse.
There are also spit-and-polish performances from Paul Essiembre in the Jack Nicholson role of Col. Jessup, who takes on Kaffee in the climatic courtroom confrontation. The imposing Essiembre with his flattop hair doesn't channel Nicholson but still manages to ignite the histrionic fireworks.
Among the Winnipeggers in the cast, Arne MacPherson, Andrew Cecon and Brent Hirose have their moments to shine but Jeff Strome, as the accused Dawson, is a ramrod-straight standout in embodying the marine commitment to honour and loyalty.
Director James MacDonald, the Citadel's artistic associate, exhibits a lot of military precision in keeping this nearly three-hour production moving, thanks in large part to a stage revolve surrounded by Michael Gianfrancesco's set, which is dominated by razor wire-topped walls and lights aimed at the audience.
MacDonald tips his hat to Sorkin off the top by having Kaffee and Galloway carry out a walk-and-talk, the scribe's signature storytelling technique.
The feel-good ending is accompanied with a splashy use of the revolve for a whirling cast curtain call carried out in front of huge American flag. In giving A Few Good Men a standing ovation, audience members find themselves in the awkward situation of appearing to be whooping it up for the United States and its military.

Paul J. Smith Writes: March 30th.
From the entrance of actors to the exit, song and dance man turned actor, James "Jimmy" Cagney died on this date in 1986.
He gained much of his fame in gangster flicks, but I think his�superlative performance was in "Yankee Doodle Dandy."� He thought of himself as a song and dance man and Hollywood must have agreed as he won an Oscar.

The lesson he learned
Asani Douglas is 17 years old. He dropped out of school to take care of his siblings when his mother died. They live in Gojo village, in the Mulanje District in Malawi.
He was forced to abandon school to care for his sick mother, who eventually died in February 2012 leaving a one month old baby.
"I was desperate and without hope. I dropped out of primary school in Grade three. My mother was sick and there was no one to look after her. I had to start selling plastic bags to earn some money to buy some food. When she died she left behind Janet, my little sister who is three years old and Ganizani, my young brother who at the time of the death of my mother was only one month old," said Douglas.
They were living in a rough one-roomed house that was too small and leaked heavily during the rainy season. Life was hard, but Douglas kept his faith, trusting that God would rescue him and his family, as he continued to try to take care of his siblings by selling plastic bags.
With help from Habitat Malawi, Asani's life and that of his family has now been completely transformed. Habitat got to hear about the Douglas family through collaboration with the Village Development Committee (VDC), a government social welfare officer and the chief of the area. The family was assisted through funding from Tiberius Services AG from Germany which donated funds to construct 20 houses.
They now have a two roomed house with glass windows, doors, iron sheets and burnt bricks. It is also plastered and cement floored. A Ventilated Improved Pit (VIP) latrine was constructed for the family .
"This house has brought hope to my life and am now able to concentrate on farming and growing food as I don't have to spend so much time repairing the old house," said a smiling Douglas.
Habitat's Orphans and Vulnerable Children project aims not only to find housing solutions but also to equip older children, aged between 15 and 18 years, with vocational skills. Douglas was selected by Habitat to undergo vocational skills training in tailoring so that he could be economically independent and further assist his family. Habitat also provided a sewing machine.
"When I finish tailoring training, I will use this machine which you have given me to be self-employed and will use the money to help my sister and brother so that they can finish school and fulfill their dreams".

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Omar Vizquel admits there are days when he feels 42 years old.
"I'm not going to lie to you," Vizquel said Thursday as he prepared for his 22nd spring training and his first with the White Sox. "Some times you wake up in the morning, and not every morning is the same. It's harder to get up for a 1 o'clock game. But I think all that training and everything I've been doing is to get away from those bad habits, and it has helped me."

Ronda is one of those cities which appears to be located somewhere between reality and legend. Previously isolated due to its geographic reality, city of bullfighters and outlaws, destination of those fascinated by them, Ronda is now a city where you can enjoy a broad repertoire of monuments. Situated in the most northwestern part of the province of Malaga , in Ronda is a city located on a ravine 120 metres deep which is considered as one of the oldest cities in Europe on account of its history. The small River Guadalevin traverse it, dividing the city in two. Its source caused the creation of the Tajo of a height of a hundred meters which nowadays is one of the marks of the city's identity.

Hacienda Lopez De Haro Crianza 2008
Hacienda Lopez De Haro - La Rioja - Spain - Rioja
Professional Wine Reviews for Hacienda Lopez De Haro Crianza 2008Additional information »
2008 saw very high yields across wineries in much of the southern hemisphere, as a result of highly favorable climatic conditions. Although in many areas, these high yields brought with them something of a drop in overall quality, this could not be said for South Australia's wines, which were reportedly excellent. Indeed, the 2008 Shiraz harvest in South Australia is said to be one of the most successful in recent decades, and western Australia's Chardonnays are set to be ones to watch out for. New Zealand's Pinot Noir harvest was also very good, with wineries in Martinborough reportedly very excited about this particular grape and the characteristics it revealed this year. Pinot Noir also grew very well in the United States, and was probably the most successful grape varietal to come out of California in 2008, with Sonoma Coast and Anderson Valley delivering fantastic results from this grape. Elsewhere in United States, Washington State and Oregon had highly successful harvests in 2008 despite some early worries about frost. However, it was France who had the best of the weather and growing conditions in 2008, and this year was one of the great vintages for Champagne, the Médoc in Bordeaux, Languedoc-Roussillon and Provence, with Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay grapes leading the way. Italy, too, shared many of these ideal conditions, with the wineries in Tuscany claiming that their Chianti Classicos of 2008 will be ones to collect, and Piedmont's Barberesco and Barolo wines will be recognized as amongst the finest of the past decade.
The Tempranillo grape varietal is often referred to as Spain's 'noble grape', and has over the past century been planted in several countries around the world. Tempranillo grapes produce beautiful ruby red wines, packed full of fascinating flavors which range from intensely fruity, to deep, dark and spicy, holding notes of vanilla, tobacco and leather. Their black skins hold plenty of tannins, and as such, they are often blended with other more rounded or brighter wines, to balance out the character and produce some truly exceptional examples. Tempranillo grapes often fall to a wide range of diseases, and are greatly effected by climatic conditions. They tend to grow best, however, in areas with a mixture of heat and bright sunshine, and brisk breezes which can cool the vines.
The wines of La Rioja have been famed throughout the world for many centuries, due to their excellence of flavor and deep, complex character. La Rioja is a green and fertile region of Spain, situated on the north of the country, yet sheltered from the cold and wet Atlantic oceanic influences by the expansive Cantabrian mountain range near the coast. La Rioja's most famous and widely loved grape varietal is the Tempranillo, which is grown in the majority of the vineyards in the region. However, many of the best wines of La Rioja are blended varieties, often featuring the aromatic Garnacha varietal for added perfume. The region also produces several extremely fine white wines, usually made from the Viura varietal grape, which are aged in barrels for extra flavor and aroma.
From the deep and intense Rioja wines, or the dry and refreshing Ruedas, from Tempranillos to Verdejos, the range and quality of Spanish wines is always going to impress and fascinate. With several thousand years of traditions and expertise leading the way, Spanish wineries are currently producing some of the most flavorful and interesting wines to come out of Europe, striving to overcome the reputation problems the country suffered in the mid to late twentieth century. Despite being one of the largest producers of wine in the world, with billions of bottles being filled each year, Spanish wine producers are more interested in quality over quantity than ever before. The results of this are some truly world class wines rivaling even the finest produce of France in regards to balance, character and flavor, gaining new fans and enthusiasts every day.

You know, I used to think that. Facebook is a lot worse than Twitter when it comes to the 'tard community. Plus, you've got people with their hand out, asking to be your "friend" and I really don't like that.
Plus, Facebook is so intrusive. Twitter is more useful because you can be anonymous and just be a listener, if you prefer.
I'm not a big fan of the "social" aspect of social media. Now that there seems to be an all-out attack on RSS by publishers, Twitter is a very good way to follow news.

another question!
lol, when I was in school, you can see why my teachers "loved" me! All the questions I ask! but I have a question about when the best time to put that ws seedling into the garden, when it has the true set of leaves, or maybe when it first sprouts? I did not find this in the FAQ section. I know this may take in consideration if the garden soil is warm enough also.
You can plant anytime after it has it's true set of leaves. Some people don't get them planted until fall (or even the next year). Not that I would ever do that. yeah right.
I've even planted annuals out that have been exposed to freezing temps. They're tough little buggers.
I've seen comments about first set of true leaves or second set of true leaves but for me it comes down to when I have the time and when I feel comfortable handling them. Tom, you've seen my pot ghetto & sprout photos but I'll post others if it'll give you a better picture.
Thanks Tom - glad they're of use to you. I also use non-garden type implements when removing seedlings from the container bottoms, including a kitchen pie server to divide & lift sections of them out of the milk jugs, spoons of different sizes from infant to soup, and have also cut the sides of the milk jugs away to make removal of sprouts less disruptive to the roots. With the spoons, I take a good-sized amount of the surrounding potting mix along with the sprout, poke a same-size hole in the receiving container with my thumb, gently set the sprout in it and firm the soil around the plug.
that is a great idea Eileen. I would think that removing the sprout is very much the most important part of ws, it would be terrible to plant seed, nourish it to sprout, then kill it by not properly removing it from the jug to the garden. A vey important point you have made. better get me some spoons and table knives!

The five self catering cottages are suitable for families sleeping up to a maximum of 6 plus cot. Surrounded by pleasant views of the countryside there are forty five acres of fields to explore, passing the pond with appleyard, call duck, mandarin and carolina ducks. If you can tear the little ones away from the fantastic child friendly facilites why not try a stroll through to the woodland - where children can benefit from getting close to the wildlife.
Child Friendly Cottages Cornwall
The cottages, impeccable in their décor, have been thoughtfully converted from the original stone barns, but are now comfortable and welcoming with central heating and wood fires making them warm and cosy for any season. Fully equipped with all the mod cons you could possible need: washing machine; tumble dryer; dishwasher; American style fridge; etc. and where preparing meals is no chore in the immaculate, labour saving kitchen.

The swimming pool is ideal for little ones as it is heated to a constant 30 degrees celcius whatever the weather. For safety, access can only be obtained through a security system and is available to guests from 7am to 9.00pm. (except Saturday mornings when it is closed for cleaning). There's a soft play area specifically designed for the under 5's and an outdoor play ground. The large heated sports hall has a range of sports for most ages. Test your skills with a quiet game of short mat bowls or take a cue for a game of pool. Table tennis, short tennis and badminton can be good family fun. The owners have a shed full of bits and pieces which you can borrow, life jackets for safety on their lake, sun loungers, fishing nets, buckets, spades and even bicycles for the little ones.
Around and About Poltarrow Cottages & Cornwall
The owner Judith is an excellent host and is able to recommend local places to eat and things to do. St Austell itself is an excellent base to explore many attractions in Cornwall and is in close proximity to the award wining Eden Project. Whilst Poltarrow is in easy reach of St Austell it is far enough off the mail road to give peace and tranquillity.
There is also a Bed & Breakfast accommodation available for families at the farmhouse but only suitable for families with children over the age of five.

YONKERS, N.Y. – Yonkers firefighters battled of pair of blazes Sunday morning on the east side of the city.
The first fire erupted at a three-story home on the corner of Shawnee Avenue and Cherokee Road around 5:10 a.m. Firefighters arrived to find the house fully involved, with heavy fire on all three floors, Deputy Chief John Flynn said.
Eight fire companies and 37 firefighters managed to contain the blaze but not before the building, which is currently vacant and undergoing renovations, was heavily damaged, possibly totally destroyed, Flynn said.
A fire company remained on scene to monitor the smoldering structure, Flynn said.
The cause of the blaze is still under investigation but no injuries were reported.
The second call came in just after 9 a.m. when an apartment at 900 Palmer Road went up in flames.
Flynn said eight companies and 37 firefighters responded to this blaze as well and were quickly able to get it under control, containing it to the single apartment.
The apartment was heavily damaged, Flynn said, but no injuries were reported. The cause is still under investigation.

Display of Filter List Too Small Rated 3 out of 5 stars
A problem with this add-on is that the Filter List display is too small.
Once more than a few filters are in the list you can't view them all and you are unable to review all of your filters in the list and any problematic filters can't be identified.
The display of the filter list badly needs to be changed so we can see everything in our filter list

Day 9 Christmas Vacation
Christmas Vacation 2014 Day 9 Rest and relaxation today. We had a Kylee meltdown last night once we came home from Sea World. She woke up from the ride home and was so tired she wouldn't just go back to sleep. Jodi was calm, cool, and collective and eventually she fell asleep.

We had been waiting since 9.30, it is now 11.30. We give them $20 bucks for the cab. They r ...
Day 8
... to do. It was very similar to the Paris version of the park as we expected, but still very enjoyable. Later on in the afternoon there was a very sudden downpour, leaving everyone running for cover! A very good opportunity to have a look around the shops I thought!
