Carpet pad doesn't feel uniform?
BLayne55August 15, 2012
I just had new carpet installed by Lowes (smart strand with smart cushion) two weeks ago. About 1450 sq feet of carpet. In walking around there are definitely areas of the carpet where the floor (I'm assuming the pad) feels harder or softer. Is the floor supposed to feel uniform or is this normal?
Smart Cushion is a high density pad and for there to be noticeble variations in density that you describe, some really bad things would have had to happen during manufacturing. But really bad things can happen.
Other things could be causing the problem, but the only way to tell is to first pull back the carpet and begin diagnosis.

MINNESOTA SPORTS ROUNDUP: Wolves win, Wild shutout on the road
DALLAS -- Dallas goaltender Kari Lehtonen shut out the Minnesota Wild with 18 saves in a 4-0 win for the Stars last night in Texas. This was game two of a home-and-home NHL series. Grand Rapids native and former Gopher Alex Goligoski assisted on a pair of goals and Jordie Benn converted a penalty shot for Dallas in the win. The Stars ended a three-game losing streak and improved to 22-20-and-8. The Wild were held scoreless for the fourth time this season and second time in a week.

Best to be constipated for short visits there.
I didn't notice the breathing until I read your comment.
"good grief, comparing people with roaches?"
- Not the common man by any stretch of imagination. It is the politicians and bureaucrats that loot the ordinary hardworking man. To call these pests rats or roaches is to insult those animals.
"But to be fair, this phenomenon doesn't just apply to India."
I couldn't have said it better.
In fact, as I have eluded to in my original post, India is far ahead of many South Asian countries in terms of liberal values. Pakistan and Afghanistan are absolute cesspools in terms of human rights, China has no basic freedoms and the Middle East treats women and minorities like subhumans. Even the richest among all non-Western countries - Japan - is backward in comparison to North America or Europe in its attitudes towards women and racist attitudes towards non-Japanese Asians.
Good of an ex-native Indian to comment of his/her birthplace. But what happened before you migrated to the US? Did you not realise that you were living in a filthy place? If a trip out of India woke up your civic mindedness, then imagine what would happen if every Indian had a similar opportunity- migrate to the US to develop civic consciousness...But we all know this is an Uthiopan dream. Instead why not go back to initiate reform on civic mindedness. India needs help from its citizens. Forget the politicians
"Because urbanization and culture to me is much more than just tall buildings and glitzy malls - just visit Dubai to see what I mean. Urbanization and culture requires a change in attitudes towards human rights and attitudes towards the traditionally weakest members of society - women, children, the poor and handicapped, the old and infirm."
Right on the money. But to be fair, this phenomenon doesn't just apply to India. The same can be said of China, Korea, all over the Middle East, South Asia, Southeast Asia, Africa, Central and Latin America - basically all of the developing world...some of these places may have the most advanced infrastructure, but the culture and mores remain firmly stuck in the 19th century. The #1 problem is usually their attitude towards women. Uneducated women beaten into low self-esteem by a male dominated society often raise equally messed up children of both sexes, and the misery continues for generations on end.
It's best not to inhale too much in urban India also. New Delhi may be a little different, but then that's the English for you.
The barrage of graphics is beautifully executed, and really drives home the point. The narrator has a great voice, but the very audible inhalations can be a bit distracting. A little sound editing perhaps?
India is an uncivilized nation for your girl child.
As per National Crime Records Bureau, every 22 minutes a rape is committed in India and out of which 30% are against minors.
1. The conviction rate is below 25%.
2. Police refuse to register victim's complaint.
3. Insane Indian politicians are saying gang-rape is consensual sex.
4. Inhuman relatives of the rapist visit victim's house to show off their hegemony.
As per Congressman Trent Franks House Concurrent Resolution 139, I request Obama Administration to direct New Delhi regime to create an Independent nation for 300 million India's untouchables.
Spot on. In a big country, different regions have different economic development. If everyone is allowed to land up in prosperous states, on one hand it creates overcrowding, destroys regional identity. On other hand, it diminishes the chances to develop the hinterlands. People from underdeveloped parts of India, must be "forced" to develop their own states. And once they need government help, opportunities in other states, in return they must strictly check their population.
"I would take some step. I would want to react in some sensible way to stop the idiot(s)."
You exemplify the problem on two fronts:
1) You perceive these people to be 'idiots'. These people are not 'idiots', they are CRIMINALS who need to be LOCKED UP for a few months for deliberately grabbing at a woman's private parts in a public place.
2) These people's (disgusting) parents should have taught them not to gang-grope some poor helpless woman (not the fear of retribution by the law or the public).
And regarding those incidents, the first time around, I tried to get rally of my fellow passengers to stop this mob of criminals and was met with apathy by my fellow passengers (and threats from those criminals)
The second (and third and fourth and .... time around) I simply ignored the situation. I was not a resident of Delhi and had no plans of becoming a martyr in a vain effort at stopping a practice that most residents euphemistically view as 'eve teasing'.
Perhaps, but what is the alternative? Give up and despair?
Improvement is not going to come by itself. Indians will have to struggle for it. Fight corruption. Vote responsibly. Complain. Organise community groups.
I see Indians, myself included, are oversensitive to criticisms of any kind to their homeland. I would urge my countrymen to take sensible criticisms and look around and realise what is wrong with us. We like to keep the statusco live and well. City of Chennai stays the same literally for the past one hundres years or so. The same amount of drinking water is available for the use of many times the population over the decades. There is no discipline on the road. Even the bank officials are to be bribed to get your oun money. Cleanliness is totally absent. In short, we should not be supersensitive. We have the reasonable education. Let us change our image--if necessary let us learn from other nations to the extent possible.

Folks, I was visiting my in-laws in Bastrop over the weekend, and the dewberries on their place were growing like gangbusters, putting up little plants everywhere. I dug a bunch up, and now have several dozen small plants with sizeable roots available for trade. Take a look at my trade list (I'm big into passiflora) for possibilities, but I'm willing to consider just about anything. :-)

How best to cook a 13 lb. Beef Loin Strip Roast?
Hi. I'm new to the cooking forum.
I'm having friends over and purchased a 13 lb. loin strip roast. I'm thinking I should roast it in the oven rather than the grill since it's so large.
Anyone have a fool proof way to cook it? I need it cooked medium with perhaps the center leaning to medium rare. I hate to turn off my guests with blood!
Thanks so much for any help.
Hi Moo, and welcome to the forum. The only way that I would roast that great piece of beef is using Barbara Kafka's High Heat method. Pretty much fool proof. We prefer our beef rare so I normally take it out of the oven when the temperature registers around 115. The temperature will continue to rise as it sits for at least 20 minutes.
Home Cookin Chapter: Recipes From Thibeault's Table
High Heat Cooking Instructions for Beef
Home Cookin 4.9 Chapter: Recipes From Thibeault's Table
. General Instructions (for Barbara Kafka's "Roasting A Simple Art")
"Different meats and different cuts have different cooking times. That's
why there are recipes. I did try to find a universal rule so that I could
say as I do for fish, "ten minutes per inch" or for chicken "ten minutes per
pound," and then describe the exceptions. It didn't work. Timing is as
much a factor of fat content, bone content, and the shape of the roast as a
specific kind of meat.
The only easy rules are for boneless loin of pork or beef (the shell or
strip) and venison and beef fillet. They always cook in the same amount of
time since the only way they increase in size is according to their length,
which will not influence the cooking time."
This is her recipe for a Simple Rib Roast
4 1/2 pound without short ribs Standing rib roast (2 Ribs) or 26 Pound
standing rib roast (7 ribs total) 2 to 6 cloves garlic, peeled and slivered
Kosher salt to taste Freshly ground black pepper 1/2 to 2 1/2 cups red
wine for deglazing 1 recipe for Yorkshire pudding.
Roast should be at room temperature, not taken directly from the fridge.
Place oven rack on the second level from the bottom. Heat oven to 500F.
Place small roast in a 14 X 12 X2 inch roasting pan. bone side down. The
large roast will need an 18 X 13 X 2 inch roasting pan. Snuggle most of the
garlic, is using, under the fat and spread remainder under the meat.
Season well with salt and pepper. Roast for 45 minutes. With meat in
oven, reduce heat to 325° and roast for an additional 3 minutes per pound.(
i.e.: 4lb =12minutes, 7lb = 21 minutes, 26 lb =78 minutes)
etc..Increase heat to 450°F and roast for another 15 minutes regardless of
size. Meat temperature should read 135 on an instant - read thermometer.
If you like it more rare, reduce the additional 3 minutes per pound to 2
minutes or for less rare, increase the 3 minutes to 5 minutes.
Remove roast from oven. Transfer to a serving platter. Pour or spoon off
excess fat, reserving about 1/8 cup to 1/4 cup of fat. Put pan over high
heat and add wine. Deglaze pan well scraping with a wooden spoon. Let
reduce by half. Pour liquid into a small saucepan and reserve.
For Whole New York Strip Loin, the directions are a little bit different.
According to Barbara Kafka's instructions, it doesn't matter what size the New York strip roast is the directions are the same.
Roasted New York Strip Loin
one 10 pound New York Strip (16 inches) Trussed
1 head of garlic
cloves lightly smashed and peeled, optional
3 to 4 springs fresh thyme
kosher salt
1 1/2 cup basic beef stock or a combination of beef stock, veal stock or red wine
2 tablespoons basic veal glaze optional.
Place oven rack on second level from the top of the oven, or second from the bottom if the fat cover is thick. Heat oven to 500°F.
Place strip of beef in an 18 x 12 x 2 inch roasting pan. If using, slip whole cloves of garlic between underside of meat and string. Tuck in the thyme. Slip some more garlic under the string along the top of the meat. Sprinkle the meat on all sides liberally with salt and pepper. Put into oven one hour before it will be served. Roast for 40 to 45 minutes.
Remove and transfer meat to a platter. Cut off strings. Remove the garlic cloves that are too blackened to use. Pour fat from pan. Put the roasting pan on top of the stove. Add stock or wine and the veal glaze, if using and bring to a boil, scraping the bottom vigorously with a wooden spoon. Add flavorings, if using, and any juices that have collected in the platter on which the beef is resting. Let reduce by half. Taste for salt and pepper, pour into a sauceboat and serve.
Roasted Whole beef Fillet
According to Barbara........"I buy the meat by the inch. It cooks exactly the same way no matter the length as long as it s more than 4 inches long. When ordering, I usually allow about an inch and a quarter per person and an extra half inch for the two end slices. By this rule, six people will require an eight inch piece of fillet. The muscles in a fillet all run lengthwise so that when it is sliced a crossed the serving it is also tenderized.
The fillet is also called the tenderloin, and it is tender. It is a long round muscle that hides behind the bones on which the shell steak and the rib roast reside. T-bone steaks have some of the shell and, on the other side of the bone, a circle of the fillet, or tenderloin. A filet mignon is a slice cut a crossed the whole fillet to make an individual steak.
4 to 5 pound whole beef fillet (about 3 to 3 1/2 inches in diameter, a good 18 inches long)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter at room temperature
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup red wine for deglazing, optional, or 1 recipe semi-perigourdine sauce
Place oven rack on second level from bottom. heat oven to 500°F
Place fillet in an 18 x 12 x 2 inch roasting pan. Rub fillet with butter and oil. Sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper. roast for 10 minutes. turn. roast 10 minutes more. Transfer fillet to a serving platter. Pour or spoon off excess fat. Put pan on top of the burner. Add the wine or sauce and bring contents to a boil while scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Let reduce by half. Season with salt and pepper.
I think you are leaning toward over cooking that lovely roast. I would aim towards rare to medium rare....you can always cook it more but you can't "un-cook" meat. I suspect that with a lovely strip loin, you won't turn anyone off with a little rare meat.
Remember....the more toward well done you cook your meat, the tougher it gets.
Linda C
For Christmas Eve I made a 12 lb loin of beef. I have so much stuff going on that I bought a digital therm with a probe and program it to the proper temp, it beeps when it's done so I don't forget about the beef.
I cut the beef in half to make it a little easier to handle and used Ina Gartens recipe.
1 (4 to 5 pound) fillet of beef, trimmed and tied
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
Place the beef on a sheet pan and pat the outside dry with a paper towel. Spread the butter on with your hands. Sprinkle evenly with the salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for exactly 22 minutes for rare and 25 minutes for medium-rare.
Remove the beef from the oven, cover it tightly with aluminum foil, and allow it to rest at room temperature for 20 minutes. Remove the strings and slice the fillet thickly.
Note: Be sure your oven is very clean or the high temperature will cause it to smoke.
Wow! Thanks ya'll!
What great info!
Also, I appreciate the comments about the medium rare. You make sense to me. I should cook the meat as it is best eaten-medium rare.
Thank ya'll soooo much!
And, (embarassed) I hadn't thought about tying up the roast! That would have been such a boo boo! It's true that it's usually the simple things that get you into trouble!
:)) -Moo
Thanks for the help!
The roast was fantastic and everyone loved it and I looked like a genius!
I cooked it like you said on 500 and also used the digital thermometer (LOVE). I turned the oven off when it hit 115* and left it until it reached 125* (just about 10 minutes) I then took it out and put a stick of butter all over it and wrapped it in tin foil for about an hour until we ate.
THank you again! -Moo
I'm cooking a 14 lb NY roast today, which I assume is a beef loin strip. It's bone in and looks like a rib roast.
From this post chain, it sounds like I can cook this on 500 for 1 hour (120 degrees) and be good. I have 20 people coming over so to be honest, I'm a bit concerned on the time here, as some recipes suggest cooking on low heat for several hours.
I'm ready to trust this recipe, but could use a little encouragement and validation on the timing.

NEW YORK (AP) — The woman who was a key figure in the federal government's response to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010 said Wednesday she will leave her post at the end of February.
"I have decided to return to my family and academia," Jane Lubchenco, administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, wrote to NOAA employees.
No successor was immediately announced for Lubchenco, who has held the job since 2009. She became well-known to the public for her role in response to the BP oil spill off the coast of Louisiana in April 2010.
Her agency was accused of accepting for too long the oil company's low estimates for the amount of oil leaking. It also was criticized for a report saying that by August of that year most of the spilled oil was gone, or at least not visible. The agency said much of it had dispersed naturally, had burned or was removed.
A few weeks later, a study by independent scientists reported an invisible, 22-mile underwater plume of oil ingredients. And NOAA acknowledged the deepwater oil was not degrading as fast as they initially thought.
Still, Lubchenco was praised Wednesday by the Ocean Conservancy. "Dr. Lubchenco and NOAA were quick to respond to the BP Deepwater Horizon oil disaster and continue to play a pivotal role in ensuring that the Gulf region, including the marine ecosystem, is restored," said interim president and CEO Janis Searles Jones.

Can't decide on a money transfer service? Choose the one with the best security qualifications!
Given the potential for security breaches and fraud in the world of financial transactions, it's no surprise that the U.S. federal and state governments have instituted a robust set of rules and regulations governing the remittance industry and the service providers that operate in this sector.
While this might not be a major factor in your search for a money transfer company, it needs mentioning as some money transfer companies are more committed to consumer protection, compliance standards and customer service than others. While it may be difficult for you to evaluate these variables without quite a lot of digging, one source you can easily check is the Better Business Bureau (BBB) rating.
Check with the Better Business Bureau (BBB)
In school, your performance on tests and exams was assessed by issuing grades. If you received an A+, you felt proud and enjoyed a sense of accomplishment. The Better Business Bureau, likewise, assigns grades to companies based on a broad array of performance criteria, including:
- Length of time this business has been operating.
- Complaint volume filed with BBB for a business of this size.
- Response to complaint(s) filed against this business.
- Resolution of complaint(s) filed against this business.
So make sure to check that your prospective money transfer company is accredited with the BBB and, if it is, whether it has achieved the coveted A+ BBB Rating.
Affiliations & Certifications
While some companies view compliance as something they have to do and often wait until the last minute to get up to speed, if at all, a few forward-looking companies that are truly customer-focused lead the charge and even "push the envelope" to make sure that their customers are protected. From their perspective, this is simply good business and an effective way to gain their customers' trust.
In the case of money transfer companies, in addition to their BBB Rating, you can also check their affiliations and certifications, which they should be proudly displaying on their websites. Are they a member of highly regarded anti-fraud associations such as the Merchant Risk Council and the Association of Anti-Money-Laundering Specialists (ACAMS)? Are their privacy practices certified by an independent monitor such as TRUSTe? Is their website certified with a Verisign SSL Certificate, so that you know your information can be transmitted securely over the Internet?
At Xoom, we are committed to securing your financial information and employ proven technology to protect and secure your personal information. Plus, we have the Privacy Certification with TRUSTe, an A+ Rating from the Better Business Bureau, and the Symantec SSL Certificate from Norton Secured.
Selecting a Money Transfer Service: Choose One That Looks Out for You
As a remittance sender, you want to select a money transfer company that is vigilantly pursuing human and technological resources to protect you and your family from online predators whose mission is to coerce you to send your money to them.
You are entrusting your money transfer company to safeguard your account with them, as well as the entire transfer process, so that your money arrives safely in the hands of your loved ones at home.
That is one big responsibility and you need to have confidence that the company you choose is up to the challenge. Your provider must be prepared to deliver rapid and effective intervention should anyone or anything compromise your ability to send money, or if you happen to fall victim to a scam.
Security Requirements
Check to see if your prospective money transfer company is using top-of-the-line data security encryption, so that all information sent between your web browser and your money transfer company's website remains private and secure.
Generally, if a provider is "bullish" on security, they will trumpet that fact on their website. More detailed information regarding certifications from third-party security and privacy organizations should also be available on their website.
So how secure is the Xoom?
At Xoom, we strive to be the most progressive money transfer company in the industry when it comes to the deployment of the latest and most robust security protocols to protect your data and privacy. And if anything interferes with the successful transfer of your money, we are ready to take immediate corrective action to resolve the issue and get your transfer through safely to your family.
We use 128-bit data security encryption, so all information sent between your web browser and our website remains private and secure. The entire Xoom website, even pages viewed without logging in, is served via encrypted, secure pages.
The servers we use to store your information are protected both physically and electronically. They reside behind a firewall and are not directly connected to the Internet. We regularly audit our security policies to ensure the protection of your personal data.
When you sign up with Xoom, you will immediately notice how much your business means to us and how committed we are to keeping you as a customer "for life." From the welcome call you will receive right away when you sign up, through the highly-transparent on-screen disclosure of every part of your transfer, to the fact that nobody answers the phone faster when you really need help: you will discover that Xoom is no ordinary money transfer company.
And check out the NEW Xoom app – a fast, convenient and safe way to transfer money to your loved ones.
Common-Sense Scam Prevention Tips
In the remittance universe, scam prevention is a team effort between the customer and money transfer company. If you do encounter any suspicious or unauthorized activity in your account, you should contact your provider immediately. In those cases, the money transfer company should immediately secure your account, conduct a thorough investigation and, if it turns out that someone has hacked into your account and sent money in your name, your money transfer company's policy should be to cover you for the full amount of the unauthorized transaction.
Many of the top money transfer companies provide tips on their websites to help you protect yourself from harmful situations when sending money back home. The different types of scams are well-documented and a few online searches can provide a comprehensive list of the most "popular" scams in use today.
Here, we will quickly summarize a few of the most commonplace scams, just to give you an idea of what is out there and a few suggestions about how to spot them and prevent them from ever causing you trouble.
Send Only to People You Know – This is just common sense. Only send money to the family or someone you know well. Don't send a dime to anyone you don't know. Strangers will try all sorts of creative ways to con you out of your money. Family and friends only. Period.
Be Vigilant – Always be on the alert for scammers with offers that are too good to be true or who send you alarming messages that someone close to you is sick or in danger and needs money sent right away to prevent some sort of disaster. Other all-too-familiar categories of scams include lotto winnings, disaster relief, loans, classified ad purchases, fake checks, romance and a host of others. Bottom line: If you're not totally convinced right away that it is a scam, independently verify with another family member or friend so you can be 100% sure whether it's a scam or legitimate (rare).
Safeguard Your Password – Here's another very important reminder: Don't give out your password. And don't create a password that might be easy for someone else to guess. Complex combinations of letters, numbers and symbols will go a long way to preventing any unauthorized person from gaining access to your account. If you do think your password may have been compromised, change it immediately and contact your provider.
Plan on Sending Money for those going back to school?
That time of year is rolling around again, possibly quicker than some kids want and yet they're probably still really excited about it even if they won't admit it. Yes, it's three very big words: Back-to-School. It's coming right up and no child can return to school unprepared, so back-to-school shopping is in full force.
Of course, the expenses can pile up, which makes it a very good time to help out.
Xoom, a leading digital money transfer provider, conducted an exclusive survey of its Fil-Am customers recently and asked its clients if they planned to send money to someone in the Philippines for Back-to-School expenses.
Nearly half of the respondents in the survey, 49 percent, said they intend to send money back home to lend a hand in Back-to-School expenses. Meanwhile, 27 percent answered that they were not planning to send money, and 24 percent in the survey said they were not yet sure.
Schoolchildren probably think more about seeing their schoolmates again instead of how they're getting a fresh start for a brand new year of learning in the classroom. But their parents also keep an eye on the bottom line, and Xoom is there to make it easy for friends and family to help out their loved ones.
What's most important when choosing a smartphone or tablet?
If you're in the market for electronic devices – and if you aren't now, you surely will be – there are so many choices that might make you feel overwhelmed. But just as surely as there are many ways to go, there are also many options out there that are important and will help you make the decision that's best for you.
So what's most important when choosing a smartphone or a tablet? Xoom, a global leader in the money transfer business, recently conducted an exclusive survey of its Fil-Am customers to find out.
The kind of operating system the device uses was the most important reason to 26 percent who answered the survey. App capabilities and brand were the most important reason chosen by 18 percent in the survey, while 15 percent said it was the price of the smartphone or tablet.
The life of the battery was the most important reason for 10 percent of the respondents and five percent said the size of the screen was the deciding issue.
What's most important to you? Maybe it's best to take into account all of the reasons that make selecting a smartphone or tablet important. You're the one that's going to be using it, after all.
Which gift will you give Mom for Mother's Day?
It's always the same date every year and it's also something you will always remember for a very basic reason. Because Mother's Day is simply unforgettable. The second Sunday every May is the one single day on the calendar and in your heart when we recognize our mothers and give them the respect they deserve every day of the year.
But what do you do for your mothers on her special day? Xoom, a global leader in the money transfer business, conducted an exclusive study of its FilAm customers to find out.
Flowers for Mother's Day, sure, you may have guessed that flowers are the most popular gift for moms, as 31 percent of those asked in the survey responded. Some 20 percent who answered the survey said a gift card was their idea how to best show respect for their mothers on Mother's Day.
And 15 percent of the respondents said a special Mother's Day card was their choice of honoring mom, nine percent answered a day at the spa or salon, six percent said perfume or makeup and five percent said their choice of gift for their mother would be chocolates.
Whatever your mother gets, she'll be happy, as long as it's wrapped in love.
Which devices do you use at home to access the internet?
Staying connected isn't just about maintaining a relationship because there clearly is a practical side to it as well. The truth is that if you're not connected, you're out of touch, literally, at least in one particular instance that probably you and everyone around you understands easily.
Consider the question Xoom recently asked its Fil-Am customers in an exclusive survey conducted by the money transfer leader. Xoom asked 'What devices do you use at home to access the internet?'
Perhaps not surprisingly, there was an overwhelming choice – laptop or desktop was the answer from 96 percent of the respondents in the survey. Some 34 percent said they used their smart phone to access the internet at home and 16 percent answered that they used their tablet while 12 percent who took the survey said something else.
It seems possible that smart phones are most often used when you're on the go, and that it's more convenient to log on using your laptop or desktop when you're at home. But whatever device to access the internet works best for you, it seems clear that staying connected is becoming an even greater part of our lives. And it probably isn't going to slow down anytime soon.
Have you sent a balikbayan box to the Philippines in the last 12 months?
Sending a gift package or receiving one, there is probably no difference in which makes you feel better. And it doesn't even have to be a birthday or a Christmas or a special occasion, either, it is merely the act.
Xoom, one of the global leaders in money transfers, conducted an exclusive survey of its Fil-Am customers recently and asked this intriguing question: 'Have you sent a balikbayan box to the Philippines in the last 12 months?'
More than half of the respondents, 56 percent, said yes they had, while 44 percent said they had not. That probably means they are getting around to it soon.
There is something special about the decades-old custom of sending boxes to family and loved ones back home, filled with such items as non-perishable food, clothing, linen, household items or toys. Often it doesn't even matter if some of the items aren't difficult to find in the Philippines. Rules allow one balikbayan box from the sender every six months. The boxes are easy to get at most shipping container stores.
Most of the time, it doesn't really matter what's inside, because the impact balikbayan boxes have is about something else – enhancing the Philippine tradition and culture for preserving family ties that can be expressed in gift-giving.

I like that he's looking under the couch cushion. Because, yeah.
i think Blake is being a tad bit uncharacteristically unromantic, but it was worth it for the gag.
Badness will always seem awesome. But in reality, it's still bad.
There's nothing more agitating than someone else doing the jerky thing before you get a chance yourself.
Can you blame him, really?
As you might guess, I walk a lot. ;-)
He's a vulture! Of COURSE that's his reaction.
Part of why animals are so funny is that when they are written like humans, we expect them to REACT like humans, but when they react as nature intends, it seems ridiculous.
Anyhow, little insight in humor there.

1. mattress work on slatted bed base, aka platform beds. 2. all memory foam mattresses have a smell when first unrolled, mine dissipated after two days. i did not sleep on it the first night, i just let it breathe and expand. 3. i would only think that a thicker layer of memory foam would be more comfy for my preference. note that the memory foam only makes up the top layer of the mattress so the preferred thickness of the memory foam should be something you consider because they are all different. 4. that being said, since i got this mattress, i have not woken up with any backaches. 5. keep in mind that memory foam mattresses are WARMER than traditional inner spring because the foam touches every inch of your body therefore reducing the air circulation around you.
After reading 300+ reviews, both good and bad, I finally decided to buy this mattress. Through various discounts, I decided to spend a little more and get the "firm" option. I'm glad I did. The package arrived a day ahead of schedule, but online tracking made it easy to be ready when it came. It was dropped off in the morning and didn't require a signature. It came wrapped in at least four layers of plastic, the outermost of which was very dirty/dusty from the truck, but I guess that is to be expected. I carried it down to my basement, took off all the layers of plastic and laid it out flat so it could expand to the correct size. I let it go for 9 hours or so, but I think it was ready in less time. The package said 24-48 hours. I was also expecting a strong chemical smell, but I hardly noticed a smell at all. I hauled it upstairs (with the help of my son) and put it on top of my old box spring. The first thing I noticed was that it was a snug fit. This is longer than a standard full-sized mattress. It made putting the sheets on it slightly difficult, but not too much of a hassle. That night, I slept on it, and I was just amazed at the support and comfort. I came very close to buying a TempurPedic mattress this year, but I could only afford the cheaper one ($1300). I'm SO glad I bought this instead. This one is much more firm, and honestly, more comfortable. I have lower back problems, and my old spring mattress was just a killer. Now I sleep well and I couldn't be happier. I also use an off-brand memory foam pillow. It's a perfect compliment to this mattress.
I was shopping for a new bed and mattress for my 10 year old son. He really wanted a memory foam mattress. Naturally, he asked for the brand he'd seen advertised. I began to search for the best mattress at the best price, and I came across this one, at Overstock, for a great price. The shippng was free, and it was delivered very quickly. Once we unrolled it , it began to expand very quickly. My son was so excited! He couldn't wait to sleep on it. Of course, he conducted all of the tests he'd seen in the commercials, and was pleased that it seemed to perform to his satisfaction. If you've never used memory foam before, it definitely has a different feel than a conventional mattress. He loves it, and claims he is much more refreshed in the morning than he was with his old mattress. I only have two minor complaints: first, there is still a slight lingering chemical smell. If the window and door are both open, it is not noticeable. But, in a closed room, I can still notice the odor. The second is, that one corner of the bed has never completely expanded to the full 10 inches. It sags a bit, and yes, this was the part that was the inside of the "roll". It's not enough to make me return it, though. All in all, I am very pleased with this mattress. I'm glad my son was able to learn that it's wise to shop for quality and price. It's just what he wanted, and at a price which didn't break my budget!
The best investment of my entire life! I have a bad back and have had pain and horrible Charlie Horses down my legs for years. Now I sleep so soundly and have not had ANY leg pain at all. My back is soooooo happy now. You owe it to yourself to buy one of these mattresses, if you have vericose vein pain, it is just what the doctor ordered. Deliver was quick too!
Product is excellent and I would recommend this to anyone who's looking for a good night's sleep. The foam conforms to your body allowing for a comfortable night's sleep. The value that you get is really good as well. I've shopped around and this was the best price out there. My only complaint would be in regards to the shipping process. It's shipped via FEDEx ground and needs a signature upon delivery.
This mattress ships in a nice and compact package. It poofs back up rapidly and airs out (to minimize that chemically foam smell). It is, however, exceptionally firm. I like firm mattresses. This mattress has very little give. Comfortable, but probably best for back sleepers.
product was great and was exactly what I expected
This bed is awesome and is probably the best $$$ I ever spent. Now its just hard to stay off of it lol
Love my bed . Sometimes it's hard to get out of it Cuz I love it so much . Takes a day or two to break in . Very firm . Good for my back
I love this mattress so much that I bought a second one. It's cheaper than most regular mattresses I see, and is so comfortable it's ridiculous. I will never buy a regular mattress again

Every year, I treat my husband to a birthday getaway, which happens to fall near Valentine's Day. This year, we visited Charlottesville, VA, and stayed in The Inn at 400 West High, a beautiful B&B located mere steps from the Historic Downtown Mall and a short drive from Monticello. Carolyn, the owner, does everything in her power to make sure that her guests have an exceptional experience. We stayed in the Altamont Room, which features a working fireplace, a king size bed, and brick floors. The room was cozy, comfortable and very peaceful. We even woke up to birds singing -- birds! -- which was a pleasant change from the sirens and traffic we usually awaken to in DC. Other features are an a-m-a-z-i-n-g shower as well as the most delicious breakfasts we've encountered anywhere, courtesy of Anne, a talented gourmet cook. She also made the BEST strawberry cupcakes for Valentine's Day. We had a wonderful time and recommend it highly.

Calling from Maine, my first telephone conversation with the owner of 400 West High, promised I could expect an unforgettable stay at this extraordinarily unique bed and breakfast in the heart of charming Charlottesville. I was warmly greeted by a family members and shown to my cozy room. A lovely fireplace was glowing near the large, inviting bed. French doors led out to an intimate veranda overlooking the city. Touches of Tuscany were everywhere. Good friends joined me for a gourmet breakfast in the B&B "gathering room" before my departure. Thanks so much, Carolyn, for the memory of a perfect stay.
Innkeeper Response
Pat....It was wonderful to finally meet you! You are the definition of light and love and positive energy! I'm glad your travels to Maine went well and I hope that you will stop by when you travel south again. Let's keep in touch!

My husband and I stayed at The Inn at 400 West High for the weekend of our wedding, and it was absolutely perfect. The people who worked there were so warm and welcoming, the food was delicious, and the room was beautiful. Our photographer got some wonderful pictures in the courtyard before the ceremony, and Carolyn was kind enough to snap some pictures of us together before our rehearsal. I can honestly say there isn't a single thing I would change. We had a fantastic time and are planning to come back in a few years for an anniversary getaway.
Innkeeper Response
It was so wonderful to be able to share in your special weekend! God bless you on this new journey and we hope to see you very, very soon!

We really enjoyed our stay here. Based on previous recommendations, I picked 400 W. High as a place to propose to my fiance (she said yes!), and I wasn't disappointed.This is a beautiful B&B. The rooms are attractive, warm, comfortable and quiet - we stayed in the Altamont Room. The common areas are perfect for a small group or for a larger family get together. The breakfasts were wonderful, and we appreciated the availability of drinks (coffee, tea, water and soda). We really felt as if we were a guest in someone's home.The Inn is just a 2 minute walk to the downtown pedestrian mall and easy access to the University of Virginia as well as local historical sites. We will definitely be back for another visit.
Innkeeper Response
This is what I love about being an Innkeeper! I LOVE the happy stories! I'm so happy that your weekend went so well and wish you both all the happiness that life can bring!

My wife and I had a great one night stay at the Inn. Every detail was covered, room was very clean, coffee, water and snacks available 24/7 and staff could not have been more helpful. We were very pleased with 400 West High and would recommnend the stay to anyone. KD
Innkeeper Response
We are so happy that your stay was what you wanted and needed! We are looking forward to your next visit and hope it will be soon! Thanks for taking the time to share your experience.

The Inn at 400 West was a delightful stop on our way home from a visit to NC. We were a family of three which typically makes it difficult to stay at a B and B. This Inn had a room that was perfect for us. In addition, the staff was friendly and helpful, the Innkeeper was extremely knowledgeable and communicated prior to our arrival, and after our departure, and the breakfast cooked by the morning staff person (I forget her name) was wonderful. All the amenities and extra touches were so nice; we even played a couple of board games in our room in the evening that were available at the Inn. I wish we could have stayed longer than one night. I would return without hesitation.
Innkeeper Response
Thank you for your kind words. We always love to hear that the Inn was a relaxing, restful, and fun place to stay while in Charlottesville! Hope you will return soon!

I just read all of the reviews already posted, and couldn't agree more with the 5-star ratings! We were five women in our 50s who travel to a different place every year for a long weekend. This was by far the best place we have stayed in all respects! The location, beautiful decor and garden, cozy rooms, comfortable beds and luxurious sheets, fabulous food, thoughtful "extras," and overall superb hospitality! We loved Amanda and her breakfasts! I would definitely stay here again and again. Tina (Austin, Texas)
Innkeeper Response
We love having girlfriend get-togethers at the Inn. The love and laughter is delightful! There is so much to do in beautiful Charlottesville that you need to come back!

We visited The Inn at 400 West High for our 20th wedding anniversary weekend in C'ville, where we met. We loved it! The rooms are very comfortable; the breakfast room is relaxing and beautiful. Breakfast was exceptional. Since it was our anniversary, I asked for a small fruit/cheese tray which they provided with all local foods. We enjoyed it sitting out in the garden area. The Inn is conveniently located within a short walk of the downtown walking mall in C'ville. We will definitely be back!
Innkeeper Response
It was so nice to have you celebrating at The Inn at 400 West High! We will look forward to your 21st!

Wonderful place to stay. Have been here before, the only negative this stay was the breakfast. Everything else from the beds to the shower to the inn keeper is top notch. Will continue to stay here when I visit Charlottesville.
Innkeeper Response
It's always nice to have you visit and this time was especially nice since I got to meet your other daughter! Thanks for your comment about breakfast...not sure what happened, but we won't let you walk away from the table unhappy again! See you in September, if not before!

Back in Charlottesville for reunions, we wished this most welcoming and cozy refuge had been available when we were students. Gracious hosts, close to sites for shopping and dining, very comfortable beds, and a relaxed atmosphere made this an A-Plus adventure.
Innkeeper Response
Thank you for choosing The Inn at 400 West High on your recent visit for reunion weekend. Congratulations on 40 years in your career and that new book you just published! Hope to see you again in the near future!

Filed Nov. 12, 1947 77 g JW 1 Im/mtar Aitomeg.
Patented Aug. 2, 1949 STORAGE OF READILY DAMAGED MATERIAL Ronald Ivan Norreys Greaves, Cambridge, England, assignor to W. Edwards and Company (London) Limited, London, England, a British company Application November 12, 1947, Serial No. 785,435 In Great Britain November 11, 1946 Section 1, Public Law 690, August 8, 1946 (Granted under the provisions of sec. 14, act of March 2, 1927; 357 0. G.
6 Claims.
This invention concerns the storage of readily damaged material, especially biological or pharmaceutical material, under dry conditions.
' According to one aspect of the invention in a method of storing readily damaged material under dry conditions said material is maintained in a closed system containing an inactive gaseous environment, preferably under a high vacuum, and a getter.
According to a, further aspect of the invention a method of evacuating a vessel such as an ampoule containing readily damaged material consists in employing a getter in a part of said vessel remote from the material to be stored therein. The vessel may be evacuated, a dry inert gas may then be admitted, thereafter the getter may be generated, the vessel may be further evacuated and finally sealed on.
Freeze drying is frequently the method of choice for the preservation of delicate biological materials. It can be shown, however, that the degree of perfection of storage in most cases is directly related to the residual moisture content of the dried material. For the best possible storage the dried material should be packed in a sealed container, preferably of glass, so that rewetting cannot take place, and in an inactive gaseous environment preferably under a high vacuum. Under these conditions perfection of storage will depend entirely on the degree of dryness obtained. Measurements of the evolution of water from a freeze-dried product shows that its rate of evolution is exponential. Thus absolute dryness would take an infinite period of time to obtain. In practice small individual amounts can be reasonably dried in one week but longer periods are preferable, and if large numbers of tubes are to be handled in this way the method becomes cumbersome.
Therefore, in accordance with the invention a desiccant in the form of a getter is placed in each tube after the primary freeze-drying, and the tube is then evacuated and sealed, so that secondary desiccation may obtain continuously up to the moment of opening the tube for use.
A getter is selected from the group comprising calcium, barium and calcium-barium alloys, but it is preferred to employ metallic calcium as the desiccant, fired by induced eddy currents over one end of the glass tube. Such a calcium deposit is found to be as avid for water vapour as liquid air condensers and provided the dried material has had its Water content so reduced that it is below the level at which the getter would be swamped, it will act as a continuous desiccant.
Furthermore, as the calcium metallic deposit takes up water it turns white, thus the presence of the metallic mirror on the tube can be taken as an indication that the material is very dry and that no cracks or pinholes are present in the glass tube. V
The invention will be described further, by Way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which:
Fig. 1 is a vertical medial section of a tubular glass vessel in an initial stage of a preferred procedure after introduction of material in liquid phase thereinto and temporary closure thereof; Fig. 2 is a side elevation, partly in section of the vessel at an intermediate stage of the said procedure; and I q Fig, 3 is a side elevation, partly in section; of the vessel following completion of the saidprocedure.
In a preferred procedure, material in liquid condition it (Fig. 1) is introduced into the lower portion of a tubular vessel H such as a test tube or ampoule having a reduced diameter region Ila or neck intermediate its two ends. The
' upper, open end of the vessel is temporarily closed by a cotton wool drying cap 2 for maintaining the contents of the vessel sterile, held in position by two rubber bands l3.
After n initial drying process such as freezedrying (Fig. 2) a porous plug l4 such as of cotton or glass Wool is introduced into the neck lid to effect substantial closure of the lower portion of the vessel containing the dried material Ill. This material frequently assumes the position as shown due to inclination of the vessel during the said initial drying.
A heat resistant support l5 in the form of a mica disc having a serrated edge and/0r being perforated is then introduced in the upper portion of the vessel above the sterile plug it. The diameter of the disc is preferably initially Very slightly in excess of that of the diameter of the upper portion of the vessel.
A nickel pan to with a gauze cover I! and containing an iron-clad calcium getter element It is placed on the mica support [5 and thereafter a capillary restriction 1 lb is formed by glass blowing near the upper end of the vessel. The upper end itself is then connected to a vacuum pump system and the vessel is evacuated. The getter is then fired by eddy current high frequency heating and the vessel is again evacuated after which sealing is effected at I la (Fig. 3) by drawing down the capillary restriction.
It may be desirable to readmit a dry inert atmosphere after evacuation before firing the getter owing to the superior gettering powers of difiused layers produced by vaporizing the getter in the presence of a gas as compared with the brighter getter deposits produced under high vacuum. The getter deposited in this manner in the presence of a gas has no longer the mirror like appearance but is rather equivalent to platinum black in appearance and character, although the colour may not necessarily be absolute black but grayish. This manner of depositing the getter is common practise in the electronic industry and the following extract is taken from an article on the subject:
After thoroughly de-gassing the getter, the tube is filled with argon or other inert gas to a pressure of 1-3 mm. The getter is flashed, producing the characteristic diffuse layer and the argon is pumped out, leaving the uncontaminated getter layer in a state of high activity. With barium, such a layer is black and the exposed side resembles a layer of lamp black when viewed by the naked eye. Magnesium and aluminium similarly treated give layers in varying shades of grey.
The getter itself is discharged in the form of a calcium mirror [8 on the surface of the vessel above the level of the mica support, and thus remains substantially clear of the neck of the sterile cotton wool plug disposed therein.
When it is required to use the material the vessel is cut around the neck and thus becomes separated into two halves, one of which contains the desiccated material In" and the other the calcium mirror I8.
I declare that what I claim is:
1. A product consisting of a sealed evacuated tubular ampoule containing readily damaged material to be stored having a neck between its two ends, said neck dividing said ampoule into two portions one containing the material to be stored, the other, adjacent to a sealed ofi, originally open end, containing a metallic getter.
2. A product consisting of a sealed evacuated tubular ampoule containing readily damaged material to be stored having a neck between its two ends, said neck dividing said ampoule into two portions one containing the material to be stored, the other, adjacent to a sealed ofi, originally open end, containing a getter selected from the group consisting of calcium, barium and calcium-barium alloys.
3. A product as set forth in claim 1 having a sterile porous plug in said neck.
4. A product as set forth in claim 1 having a heat resistant disc engaged within that portion of the vessel adjacent the originally open end supporting the means from which said getter is generated.
5. A product as set forth in claim 4 in which said disc is serrated.
6. A product as set forth in claim 4 in which said disc is perforated.

Finally, Some Tobacco Slogans We Can Live With
by Thom Forbes on Feb 28, 7:27 AM
Warren Buffett is reported to have given his rationale for why he "liked" the cigarette business to John Gutfreund, then chairman and CEO of Salomon Brothers, in 1987: "It cost a penny to make. Sell it for a dollar. It's addictive. And there's a fantastic brand loyalty," as Bryan Burrough and John Helyar reported in Barbarians at the Gate.

Taking Gluten Free Into The Mainstream
by Thom Forbes on Feb 25, 7:44 AM
Shari Cole was trying out a new pesto pizza recipe in her test kitchen in Arizona when we talked. Every once in a while she'd leave a sentence hanging and, after a slight pause, say something like "no, that's undercooked" or "I don't like the taste" before returning enthusiastically to the point at hand. Nothing is more vital to the success of her going-on-six-year-old Simply Shari's Gluten Free + Fabulous Line of cookies, pastas, pizzas and sauces than that they taste good enough to cross over into the mainstream.

PSAs Raise Awareness About Warriors' 'Invisible Wounds'
by Thom Forbes on Feb 18, 7:51 AM
As a nation, it may be decades before we fully come to terms with the impact of our post-9/11 conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan but there are hundreds of thousands of men and women -- and their families -- who deal with it every day, often unaware of what exactly hit them. A new public service campaign for the Wounded Warrior Project by the PlowShare Group aims to increase awareness -- and enlist support for -- the needs of veterans who are recovering from the "invisible wounds of war."

Welcome To The Real World Of Higher Prices
by Thom Forbes on Feb 16, 7:42 AM
Raw material prices are rising on just about everything. Fuel costs are up. Manufacturers say that they can't absorb the spiraling costs of commodities on their own any longer and that consumers will have to share the pain. The selling of the great price increase of 2011 has begun.

Why Can't We All Cooperate Together?
by Thom Forbes on Feb 15, 7:36 AM
Calls for cooperation among natural competitors and other adversaries seem to be breaking out across the nation, all presumably for the greater good of the Citizen Consumer. It's about putting information, and the power that results from having it, in the hands of the people, of course. There will be skeptics.

'Spider-Man': It's Not So Easy To Turn Off The Lights
by Thom Forbes on Feb 14, 7:43 AM
When I was growing up, adolescent boys came in two varieties: DC Comics fans and Marvel Comics fans. I was the former even though I knew, in my heart of hearts, that the latter were somehow cooler, just like the Rolling Stones were just a touch hipper than the Beatles.

Veggies Are Finally Where It's @
by Thom Forbes on Feb 11, 7:38 AM
You had to admire the marketing genius behind George Ball declaring 2011 "The Year of the Vegetable" in a
Wall Street Journal
opinion piece
last month. Ball is, after all, chairman of the
W. Atlee Burpee Co.
, purveyors of fine seeds and plants. But the time is right; there's a feeling in the air.
Daniel F. Akerson
could declare it "The Year of the Internal Combustion Engine" until he was literally blue in the face and he would not get any traction.

The Cossacks Are Back. May the Hills Tremble.tags: NYT, Russia, Vladimir Putin, Cossacks, Stavropol
STAVROPOL, Russia — Outside this city's police headquarters on a recent night, a priest in a purple velvet hat and gold stole moved from one man to the next, offering a cross to be kissed and drenching their faces with holy water from a long brush.
And so began another night of law enforcement as Cossacks, the fierce horsemen who once secured the frontier for the Russian empire, marched out to join the police patrolling the city....
The Kremlin is dipping into a deep pool of history: Cossacks are revered here for their bravery and pre-modern code of honor, like cowboys in the United States or samurai in Japan. But their legacy is bound up with battle and vigilante-style violence, including campaigns against Turks, Jews and Muslim highlanders.
These days men in Cossack uniforms are making appearances all over Russia, carrying out blustery raids of art exhibits, museums and theaters as standard-bearers for a resurgent church. But here on Russia's southern flank, the Cossack revival is more than an idea. Regional leaders are granting them an increasing role in law enforcement, in some cases explicitly asking them to stem an influx of ethnic minorities, mainly Muslims from the Caucasus, into territory long dominated by Orthodox Slavs....

|There's plenty of Grilled Zucchini on the menu at my house!
my beloved Green Zebra tomatoes!
|There's plenty of Grilled Zucchini on the menu at my house!
I'm in full agreement with encouraging 'volunteers'.
Fascinating to see gardens in different places!
My garden is doing well too, although I must have planted later than you. I'm along the coast in southern California, so it's been full-on June Gloom here for the past month, which slows down the growth too. I've picked a few zucchini, and all my tomatoes have fruit, though not as much as yours. Chard, jalapenos, basil, green beans, arugula, lettuce, potatoes, all doing well. By the way, that volunteer you pointed out - isn't it fennel, rather than dill?ReplyDelete
oh my gosh! lucky you! those veggies are gorgeous!!!!ReplyDelete
Such an astonishing variety in your garden, and everything looks to be thriving!
I have but a lonely pot with basil on my windowsill.
Oh my, I had fennel growing along the fence there two years ago so now I'm wondering if it might be fennel too. I guess I will find out, won't I?ReplyDelete
When I start growing my herb garden, I'll be sure to ask for you help. Your garden looks wonderful!ReplyDelete
Love your beds and everything looks to healthy. The beds remind me of square foot gardening. We usually have tomato blight every year too. We planted 2 Cherokee Purples are are hopeful....we'll see. Usually something goes wrong and we end up buying tomatoes at the farmer's market. Other than that, it's herbs for us and no vegetables.
Stephanie, most herbs are perennials, and they're pretty easy to grow!
Sam I love having fresh vegetables. I've been wanting to try Cherokee Purples, but I never see them for sale here. I'm keeping my fingers crossed on the tomato blight; so far the tomatoes seem happy where they are this year. I guess rotating is more important than I thought!
Oh, what beautiful gardens - and vegetables! I'm truly in awe, Kalyn.ReplyDelete
Your garden is gorgeous! Some of my plants are coming up, but living at a super high elevation, our growing season is so short, so we are still dealing with almost freezing temps at night! However, my indoor tomatoes have been doing great! :) I love gardening though, even with the challenges, I'll take it!
Wow, I am jealous of your squash! I have only been able to harvest one so far this season. I have just had a lot of radishes and lettuce so far. I can't wait for my tomatoes to ripen.ReplyDelete
It's very inspiring to see your garden in progress. It looks great. My fledgling garden is having mixed results - my Swiss Chard is looking poorly, but my Kale is thriving too.ReplyDelete
Jenny, I'm eagerly awaiting the tomatoes too! Tomato sandwiches are one of the best things about summer!
TW, wish I knew why some plants thrive and others just limp along under the same conditions. It's a gardening mystery.
Love your garden, Kalyn. I'm always so jealous when I see all your tomato plants! And San Marzanos? Where did you find those? I'd heat my greenhouse to be able to grow a few!
Right now I'm harvesting and drying Walla Walla onions, China Rose hard neck garlic, so much kale that I can't devise new ways to cook it fast enough, sugar snap peas, potatoes, and cilantro. We had some unseasonably dry, sunny weather which gave the zucchini a good start but it will be weeks yet before harvest. Volunteer cherry tomatoes are coming up in the greenhouse. Happy Sunday to you!
Christine I just stumbled on the San Marzanos at the garden center. First time I have seen the plants for sale here. I'd love to have Walla Walla onions and sugar snap peas. And cilantro doesn't grow at all here; just goes to seed right away.ReplyDelete
I always love your garden updates. We just harvested 16 heads of garlic. We're drying and storing it now for the season. I'm still picking swiss chard, kale and romaine lettuce. The peas, beets, spinach, green leaf lettuce have gone by. Pole beans are showing up along with summer squash and cukes. I can't wait for the tomatoes, Anaheim peppers and Tomatillos. I love your pictures and updates. Keep them coming.ReplyDelete
Louise, it sounds like your garden is pretty amazing!ReplyDelete
This was my first time planting in a box garden... and it is an understatement to say that we planted too much! Right now, I'm getting nice cucumbers and zucchini... We are looking forward to red peppers, carrots, and cherry tomatoes. Wish us luck! Thanks for the great recipe suggestions, Kalyn!ReplyDelete
Your garden makes me happy happy happy. Oh the things you can cook with such produce!ReplyDelete
Sheryl, my pleasure. I always plant far too much, but the neighbors enjoy it!
Nate, me too! I am really loving the kale so far.
Wow! Beautiful! I don't have nearly enough sun but am attempting a raised bed this year. I've gotten a ton of kale and zucchini and tomatoes.ReplyDelete
You must be doing something right if you have those veggies without too much sun!ReplyDelete
Thanks for joining the conversation! I love hearing from readers and even though I can't always reply to every comment, I will always answer specific questions on a recipe as soon as possible. Sometimes I'm answering by iPhone, so my replies may be short!

The Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) Awareness/Support Group of Binghamton, NY is primarily for the support of PH patients and their caregivers. However, medical professionals who work specifically and directly within the PH community are often scheduled to give presentations to the general public and local medical professionals in the hope of bringing awareness about the disease to those who've never heard of PH. Anyone who is interested in learning more about Pulmonary Hypertension is welcome to attend any of these meetings.
