Sun screen for Impatiens
I have started impatiens from seed and they are doing very well. I need to move them from under the lights to make room for other seed starting projects. I plan to put the impatiens in a West facing picture window but late in the day they will receive strong sun. Does anyone know of some type of sun screen that I can hang up on the window to filter out the strongest rays but still allow the light to come through? At my local garden center, they have some type of huge sun screen hanging overhead to filter the sun from the plants while they are outdoors for sale. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Late in the day the sun has lost it's strength. Even in the day the sun is not strong on a window sill. You have the eaves of the house and the glass of the window between the sun and your plants. Put your hand on the window and I'll bet it's not hot. I used to grow all my impatiens on my south facing windowsill and they stayed there all day until I hardened them off for planting. When they are growing outside in summer they get the late afternoon sun and early morning sun too and they thrive.
Now I don't live in your zone but in my opinion they need that light and will come to no harm on your windowsill. Try them there. If they start to wilt you can always hang some cheesecloth on the window, but I don't think you'll need it

The federal government is legally entitled to a refund of state taxes plus interest that the state of Washington gave to Fluor Hanford, Inc. (FHI) for taxes that FHI paid under a contract with the Department of Energy. Because the department previously reimbursed FHI for those taxes, the department is entitled to retain and to credit to its appropriations the principal portion of the state tax refund. However, the department may not retain or credit to its appropriations interest amounts paid by the state along with the refunded taxes. The interest amounts must be credited to the general fund of the Treasury as miscellaneous receipts, pursuant to 31 U.S.C. 3302(b).

Originally written on Next Impulse Sports | Last updated 11/18/14
Do you wonder where Denver Broncos standout wide receiver Wes Welker got his agility? It may have been from his hidden past of shaking moneymaker as a pop star. A very unashamed Welker admitted that while he was a student at his Oklahoma high school he dressed up as Britney Spears and danced during a pep rally in an interview with Dan Hellie, host of NFL Total Access. The wide receiver went all out wearing a blonde wig, tight sports bra and sassy skirt. When asked about his pop diva days Welker responded, "Gosh, I'd love to say false there, but I did… they have me on video. But I've already bought them off, so you won't be seeing that anything soon." Well it looks like Welker didn't pay them enough because the booty shaking video leaked online by News9.com last year. All we can say to Wes right now is, please baby, no more times. News9.com – Oklahoma City, OK – News, Weather, Video and Sports | [BobsBlitz] Article found on: Next Impulse Sports

'sure crop' strawberry bed question
I installed a bed of roughly 100 sure crop strawberries (they're June bearers) last october.
They over wintered well and are starting to grow, but with the unseasonably warm temps we have been having, they have started to put out buds. The plants are still rather small and I think I should pinch off the flowers until they grow out a few more weeks.
Should I just leave them be? Will they flower again this season if I do pinch them? I would like to see some what of a crop this year, though I know there production will be better in theory next year....
Any thoughts appreciated. :)
You planted too late last year and didn't get enough "Daughter" plants formed from that intended planting. You could pinch off the blossoms but that will mean you get no crop this year rather than delay the crop a few weeks.
I'd base my decision on what other things you have done. Did you mulch the bed? Have you planted those plants close enough that runner formation is a lesser issue? In either case you will have a smaller yield that next year but you have many choices. I'd tend to harvest the "Firstfruits" and then if the crop doesn't look real promising snap off all the remaining green fruit and blossoms and stimulate earlier runner development for the remainder of the summer/fall.
thanks for the reply. I did plant them closely... they are in a sfg with 4 per square. So, runner formation is prob not an issue. After planting, I let them take root and grow for about a month, then mulched them over for the winter. I removed the mulch about a month and a half ago as we have had a very mild winter and spring.
I was thinking I would just let them set fruit and see what I get, I just dont want to ruin,any potential for a nice big crop next season...
Thanks again!
I have several hundred plants I started several years ago. I never picked off blooms but got almost nothing the first year but the second year was awesome. As far as fall planting it has been my experience that spring is the best way to establish a nice bed for year 2 . Good luck your second year will make it all seem worth it.

Super Simple Shopping List
"After trying many different shopping list apps I find this one very intuitive, minimalist and practical app to do your shopping, specially if you want to do a quick list without tons of unuseful features." – AndroidKI.com (5/5)
"Using a shopping list is definitely a smart idea and the Super Simple Shopping List app from bitwize10 is a great option for shoppers." – AppReviewCentral.net (4/5)
One of the simplest shopping list apps available!
To add an item, press the + button. Type the item and select color. That's it.
There's no settings, no options, no fancy features. It's dummies approved.
Use comma to add multiple items at the same time. Long press on item to edit or delete it.
Colors represent categories, and can be anything you want. For example: names of the grocery stores (Tesco, Kroger, Aldi, Costco, ...), opportunities (birthday, anniversary, Christmas, ...), shop sections (butcher, vegetables, drinks, ...), or whatever you wish. You may label the colors.
When you're in the shop buying stuff from the list, just tap the item to check it.
Note: when you install the app, it will be named just "Shopping List".
- it is possible to remove ads. Contact us if you are interested.
- swipe left or right on item to delete it.
- double tap on background to add item. The result is the same as pressing the + button.
- to add multiple items at the same time, you can also separate them with two dots (..). This is handy if your keyboard doesn't have a comma directly accessible.
In version 1.0.3 we added some configuration options. However, since we initially decided this app will not have any options, these options are not accessible from the menu. Instead, you add the "button" yourself, and remove it once you don't need it any more. These options will in most cases be set just once, and never again, which makes this approach very reasonable. The following options are available:
- font size: add item "text++" or "text--" to any color. Press the item, and the font will change (min 10, max 100).
- sorting of checked items: add item "checked-first" to any color. Press the item to toggle checked items before unchecked items.

More from developer
The first start could take a while because of setting up all images.
When developing the app we focused on preschool-children with infantile ASD and applying the rules of
Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA).
The app is a product of a master thesis which means that the game was scientifically tested with 9 autistic children and 34 neuro-typical children. The room for improvement and effectiveness were reviewed and confirmed.
In addition Droidtism has the potential to be used as a diagnostic tool for Joint Attention.
The app uses profiles for each user. It's possible to add custom reward images and point images to the user profile. Each profile is almost fully customizable.
• 14 level, 6 free and fully testable. The rest can be unlocked via in-app purchase. These are the only restrictions.
• User profiles
• custom image rewardsets
• custom image pointersets
• Add images via camera or gallery
• Custom soundeffects
• Vibration on success via preferences
• View all collected data
• Export all data for further evaluation in Excel file fomrat or as XML-Structure.
There are three different prices for inapp-purchase but there is no difference in content. It's up to you ;-)
Permissions are used for licensecheck and inapp-purchase, Data-Export to sdcard and to set vibration on/off.
What is Joint Attention?
Joint attention is the shared focus of two individuals on an object. It is achieved when one individual alerts another to an object by means of eye-gazing, pointing or other verbal or non-verbal indications. An individual gazes at another individual, points to an object and then returns their gaze to the individual.
Goal of the app is to sensibilize affected people for gestures and gazes of fellow men which helps in everyday life.
The app can also help people with deficiencies and is not limited to people with ASD.

As Dan Duquette gets ready to re-enter Major League Baseball after a hiatus of nearly 10 years, it is worth reconsidering one contentious area of the new Orioles general manager's track record in Boston.
For the person charged with building an organization, nothing is as important as the cultivation of a robust farm system that can produce a steady flow of talent to the majors. Young, inexpensive stars represent the most important building blocks of championship teams, whether by providing the core group that can compete for titles or by serving as the currency for trades to address areas of need.
Perhaps that explains why Duquette becomes rankled when confronted with suggestions that the Red Sox farm system was barren in his wake. Duquette was hired as Sox GM from Montreal in 1994 largely because of his track record of building a homegrown powerhouse with the Expos. He helped create one of the most formidable talent factories in the game in that stint before heading to Boston.
But with the Sox, it was different. His first draft pick was a tremendous success, as he selected Nomar Garciaparra with a first-round pick in 1994.
But from that point on, especially in the early rounds, the Sox missed on player after player. The Sox had seven first-round draft picks over the remainder of Duquette's tenure; of those, just two – Adam Everett and Phil Dumatrait – played a single day in the majors.
During his time as a GM in Boston, Duquette's draft record was generally viewed with great cynicism based on the poor performances by the Sox' early-round selections under him. Duquette prioritized the selection of New Englanders in the draft in hopes of galvanizing fan interest. That strategy failed to net star-caliber talent; only one player taken with that approach, Manny Delcarmen, became an impact big leaguer.
A disclaimer. It is worth noting that Duquette was encouraged by ownership in his last years to plow assets into the major league roster. Then-CEO John Harrington was more interested in seeing the Sox win a World Series while still technically under Yawkey family stewardship than in building for the long haul.
The current Sox owners are fully supportive of spending aggressively on amateur talent and recognize that area as the most efficient one for their dollars. That wasn't the environment in which Duquette worked during his final years in Boston.
Even with that disclaimer, Duquette often points out that it was his farm system that was fertile enough to position the Sox to make numerous trades after he left. The acquisitions of players such as Cliff Floyd and Alan Embree in 2002, Curt Schilling after the 2003 season and Josh Beckett and Mike Lowell following the 2005 campaign were pulled off largely with players minor leaguers who had entered the system under Duquette.
Still, retrospectives about Duquette's drafts have focused primarily on their failures and with good reason. Forgotten first-rounders Rick Asadoorian and John Curtice and Josh Garrett and Andy Yount and Corey Jenkins represented incredible missed opportunities, players taken when future superstars like Roy Halladay and CC Sabathia and Chase Utley remained on the board.
In contrast, the Sox have viewed as a model drafting team in the years since Duquette's departure. The team has seen a steady flow of homegrown franchise players matriculate to the majors under the current ownership group.
But how significant is the draft disparity between what the Sox accomplished under Duquette and what the talent they accumulated under Theo Epstein?
To answer that question by one arbitrary measure, it is intriguing to examine the number of All-Stars yielded by the Duquette and Epstein drafts. Doing so offers a somewhat surprising picture of the talent accumulated under Duquette.
Nomar Garciaparra (1994, 1st rd, No. 12): Five-time All-Star (four times with Red Sox)
Note: Garciaparra was drafted, reached the majors and signed to a first-of-its-kind long-term deal by Duquette. He was a superstar-caliber talent in his prime, perennially among the top handful of players in the league for a number of years. He was traded in 2004 by Epstein.
Carl Pavano (1994, 13th rd): One-time All-Star (zero times with Red Sox)
Note: Pavano was dealt to the Expos by Duquette as part of the package for Pedro Martinez.
Justin Duchscherer (1996, 8th rd): Two-time All-Star (zero times with Red Sox)
Note: Traded to the Rangers in 2001 for catcher Doug Mirabelli. Duchscherer became an All-Star four years later with the A's.
Shea Hillenbrand (1996, 10th rd): Two-time All-Star (one time with Red Sox)
Note: Hillenbrand reached the majors with the Sox under Duquette and was an All-Star in Boston in 2002 before Epstein traded him in the 2003 season.
David Eckstein (1997, 19th rd): Two-time All-Star (zero times with Red Sox)
Note: Selected off waivers by the Angels in 2000, when Eckstein was in Triple-A.
Freddy Sanchez (2000, 11th rd): Three-time All-Star (zero times with Red Sox)
Note: Sanchez was traded by Epstein in 2003.
Kevin Youkilis (2001, 8th rd): Three-time All-Star (all with Red Sox)
Note: Red Sox officials have said that, prior to the ownership change, Youkilis had been relegated to the status of a potential throw-in, and that it was only with the ownership changes in 2002 and then the overhaul of the front office following Epstein's appointment as GM after that season that Youkilis was identified as a player to protect.
TOTALS: Seven players who were selected as All-Stars, six players who were selected to multiple All-Star teams and 18 total All-Star seasons. Of those 18 All-Star seasons, eight have come for the Sox, and 10 came after the players left the organization that drafted them.
Jon Lester (2002, 2nd rd): Two-time All-Star (all with Red Sox)
Notes: Epstein was a strong voice in the draft room as an Assistant GM when Lester was drafted in 2002, though he was not GM at the time, and so Lester is included in this side of the ledger. (For more on Lester's selection as the first draft pick under the current Red Sox ownership group, click here.) Epstein was, however, GM when the Red Sox agreed to trade Lester to the Rangers with Manny Ramirez for Alex Rodriguez.
Jonathan Papelbon (2003, 4th rd): Four-time All-Star (all with Red Sox)
Note: At a time when Papelbon is testing the free-agent waters, here's a look at his origins in the Red Sox system.
Dustin Pedroia (2004, 2nd rd): Three-time All-Star (all with Red Sox)
Note: As with Lester in 2002, Pedroia was the first pick of the Red Sox in 2004 despite being a second rounder. The Sox had parted with their first round selection in order to sign free agent closer Keith Foulke.
Jacoby Ellsbury (2005, 1st rd): One-time All-Star (with Red Sox)
Clay Buchholz (2005, sandwich pick): One-time All-Star (with Red Sox)
TOTALS: Five players who were drafted by the Sox under Epstein have emerged as All-Stars, including three -- if one includes Lester -- that have made multiple All-Star teams. Of those 11 All-Star seasons, all 11 have come with the Sox, who have kept most of their top prospects in Boston.
The construct of the "All-Star player" is, of course, imperfect. For instance, Hillenbrand made two All-Star teams, but had poor on-base percentages and only once in his career did he have an OPS as high as .800. Eckstein is unfailingly described as scrappy and did a remarkable job of maximizing his ability, but as has been pointed out often (and rightly), Pedroia is a vastly better player.
For the most part, the players who emerged as "All-Stars" from Duquette's draft were average to slightly above-average big league regulars. Still, Duquette's drafts produced a pair of players who performed at a superstar/MVP level for multiple years in Garciaparra and Youkilis.
The players who have emerged from Epstein's drafts as All-Stars have more frequently achieved and sustained superstar-level performance. Pedroia won an MVP and Ellsbury might lay claim to that honor this year. Papelbon has had one of the best starts to a career of any closer in history. Lester thrust his name into the Cy Young mix in 2010 and seems capable of doing so again.
Beyond that, a few things stand out when looking at the top players who were drafted and developed under Duquette and Epstein:
-- Duquette drafted more All-Star players (7) than Epstein's farm system has yielded to date (5, 4 if Lester is not counted). That said, it will be necessary to check back in on that topic for several additional years. Players whom the Sox selected from 2006-11 (some, like Daniel Bard, who remain in the Sox system; some, like Justin Masterson and Anthony Rizzo, who have been traded) under Epstein could join the list of stars.
-- The Epstein-drafted players all delivered their All-Star seasons for the Sox. Duquette was more willing to move his better prospects. He dealt Duchscherer for Mirabelli and fumbled Eckstein on waivers. He also dealt Pavano in a franchise-altering move for Pedro Martinez. Of the 18 All-Star seasons produced by Duquette draftees, 44 percent came as members of the Sox.
-- Duquette's brutal absence of success in the early rounds of the draft (which should have delivered the greatest impact) was softened by incredible and surprisingly frequent success drafting in the later rounds. Aside from Garciaparra, a first-rounder, the other six Duquette Era All-Stars were taken in the eighth round or later.
--That later-round impact could have been even more pronounced if the Sox hadn't torched their relationship with Mark Teixeira, whom the Sox took in the ninth round of the 1998 draft.
-- The impact selections under Epstein, meanwhile, came in the early rounds. Indeed, it is notable that the Sox typically have achieved a major organizational impact with their top overall pick under Epstein.
Lester, Pedroia, Ellsbury, Nick Hagadone (a key to the Victor Martinez trade), Casey Kelly and Reymond Fuentes (both keys to the Adrian Gonzalez deal) were all top overall picks by the Sox. David Murphy has had a nice if unspectacular big league career. Jason Place is the only true bust of a top pick by the Sox under Epstein.
However, to date, the Sox under Epstein didn't acquire the later-rounds impact draftees that characterized the Duquette era. But that could change. Players drafted in the eighth round or later under Epstein who could make a significant impact in future years include Ryan Kalish (2006, 9th round), Drake Britton (2007, 23rd round) and Brandon Jacobs (2009, 10th round), among others.
-- Duquette's drafts in Boston were vastly more productive than those of his archrivals. Over Duquette's eight-year tenure, the Yankees produced just two All-Stars (Eric Milton and Mike Lowell) and one additional big league regular (Nick Johnson) through the draft.
If Duquette is to help reshape the Orioles into a meaningful contributor in a hellacious American League East, his draft record will have to improve dramatically when it comes to his top picks. As Baltimore tried to play catch-up in a devastatingly deep division, they cannot afford the kinds of misses with their top picks that occurred in the GM's Boston tenure. Meanwhile, it is virtually impossible to bank on the kind of middle- and later-rounds success that Duquette had in Boston; there was a significant element of luck in play that allowed the Sox to salvage what could have been some dismal drafts.
That said, if Duquette can couple the sort of impact the Sox made in the later rounds with strong early picks, then he could well help the O's to regain their footing after 14 years meandering through losing records. For as much as the Sox' draft record under Duquette is criticized, upon further inspection, the Sox acquired a surprising number of players who went on to have solid big league careers, and in a couple of instances, did far more than that.

New to this side of GW
Hi, I just found out GW has a sewing section after oh, over five years? LOL
I have an old Singer sewing machine (early 90's), a Brother xl 5500, a Brother 1043d serger and the Brother 150 embroidery machine. I was doing pretty well for a while, sewing for friends and on ebay, but got sidetracked for the past few years to have my son.
I'm trying to get back into it when I can, and I also have the PE Design and Amazing Box and PE Scan...I never got to use the PE design much, just made one design and it was decent, but...
Any tips/tricks and advice as well as company and commiserating when applicable would be great!
With all the machines you own you sound like a pro. May I use your knowledge to ask a question? I want to know a good machine to buy. I have a brother SE 270D...it only does a small area! I want a good machine that will do a somewhat larger area. I am super new to this hobby, but so far this Brother has not done what I really want it to. I am looking to upgrade and I heard that Brother has better mid-line selection. I don't care about the Disney images they offer...anyway, I am babbling...do you know a good machine/brand at a fair price? Thanks!
