Muno, the Mets' No. 1-ranked Minor League shortstop, received a 50-game suspension after testing positive for a metabolite of Drostanolone, an anabolic steroid sometimes used by bodybuilders.
Rojas tested positive for Stanozolol, a synthetic anabolic steroid commonly sold under the name Winstrol.
Both suspensions are effective immediately.
Muno, a 23-year-old out of Fresno State, is hitting .283 with five homers and 23 RBIs for Class A Advanced St. Lucie in the Florida State League. The switch-hitter was New York's eighth-round pick in last year's Draft and earned MiLB.com Organization All-Star status after hitting .355 with two homers, 24 RBIs and nine steals as a New York-Penn League All-Star with Class A Short-Season Brooklyn.
Muno is the third St. Lucie Met to receive a ban this season following Dock Doyle and Scott Moviel, who were suspended for drugs of abuse on Feb. 9.
Rojas, a right-handed reliever originally signed by the Mets in 2006, owns a 3.38 ERA with nine strikeouts in eight innings for Class A Advanced San Jose in the California League. He spent the previous five seasons with the Mets at the Class A level.
Major League Baseball has now suspended 42 players this year for violations of the Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.

good resources on 'native' plants
Okay, I'm a newbie to gardening. Having lived my adult life in apartments, and spending my childhood so allergic I was stuck inside most all spring, summer and fall, what I've done has been poor attempts at container gardening. Pretty depressing since I always seem to kill of 90% of my indoor plants through the winter.
This year I am doing actual in ground planting. Theme is fairy garden. Smallish area with a lot of birdfeeders (buying a GOOD hummingbird feeder this week) and feeding squirrels, chipmunks, etc.
So far doing moon flowers & morning glories along fence lines. Going to seed for columbine along wall under window. Looking for native plants that will survive the hot, humid, dry summer here as well as the likely over-rain in May (I am in Indianapolis so of course it rains like crazy in May), etc. Something to border the patio, plant around a smallish birdbath, and in amongst the columbine since they won't bloom this year.
Received some great suggestions in the new gardener forum...but could use a little more information on what will best tolerate the conditions and poor soil here. I'd say its clay type soil...most of year appears light dry and very hard. Amazingly enough as I started digging into it and turning it this spring I found tons of earthworms. Some of that may be because I keep dumping potting soil from dead houseplants out around the areas I was digging...I generally use miracle gro potting soil...so it has received some help from that.
Thanks for any resources you can point me to. I can try to pick up books at the library if you have good suggestions.
The Library is a great source. Also check one of your state's University's web site your local Extension office and try to find if you have a Master Gardener in your area. There's a Master Gardener forum here. I'm not sure if they'd answer a specific question about plants but they may be able to tell you who in your area can.
If you improve your soil with compost or just plain leaves, you will have a better chance of growing anything you choose. Wormies love leaves.

When we obsess about weight issues or become drained by a relationship or crave a cigarette, we give our demons strength, because we aren't really paying attention to the demon. When we understand how to feed the demon's real need with fearless generosity, the energy tied up in our demon will tend to dissolve and become an ally.

What Your Demons Really NeedDaily Dharma for March 26, 2015
Precious Human Birth
Too much suffering is not good. If you become always manipulated by it, if suffering is always the boss, that is not good. And if you have too little suffering, you will not be inspired to pursue real happiness. That is why we speak of 'precious human birth.' Because being born in the human body provides just the right amount of suffering that we need in order to transform suffering into a source of wisdom and knowledge.Daily Dharma for March 27, 2015

The Value of Loving Ourselves
When we practice, we observe how much peace, happiness, and lightness we already have. We notice whether we are anxious about accidents or misfortunes, and how much anger, irritation, fear, anxiety, or worry are already in us. As we become aware of the feelings in us, our self-understanding will deepen. We will see how our fears and lack of peace contribute to our unhappiness, and we will see the value of loving ourselves and cultivating a heart of compassion.Daily Dharma for March 30, 2015

The Seeds of LifeRebirth is a belief common to all Buddhist traditions, although in Tibetan Buddhism, a belief in reincarnation—the reappearance of a great master, known as a tulku— developed in the late 13th century C.E. The tradition continues amid much discussion of its contemporary relevance. Here, Trinlay Tulku Rinpoche, a Western-born tulku, discusses with Pamela Gayle White the traditional Tibetan view of reincarnation and answers some of the more common questions skeptical Westerners ask.

What's at Stake as the Dharma Goes Modern?In the summer of 2010, I sat a Dzogchen retreat at Garrison Institute with my teacher, a well-known Tibetan lama. He gave teachings during the day and then in the evening handed the microphone over to several academic luminaries who were also attending. In the morning and afternoon we received instructions on attaining buddhahood; in the evenings we heard lectures on how Buddhism's contact with the West was leading to cutting-edge advances in brain-science research, medicine, and psychology.

Just Shut UpRobert Campbell Chodo began using amphetamines and alcohol at age 16. He continued using amphetamines until age 24, before moving on to cocaine for the next 10 years. In 1988, Campbell got sober after seeing a psychotherapist and joining Alcoholics Anonymous, where he attended meetings 3 times a week. While Campbell says that "AA unquestionably gave me the tools to make the life changes," it wasn't until he began his Zen practice in 1993 that he began to get "really, really sober." Today Campbell is one of the Executive Directors for New York Zen Center for Contemplative Care, an organization that provides direct care to the sick, dying, and suffering. More »

Herbeau kitchen faucets--any comments/reviews?
I found a gorgeous copper and brass Herbeau kitchen faucet online at faucet direct's website, but cannot find revewis for this brand anywhere. I'd love thoughts on this, if possible. thanks.
mntnrdredux, which model kitchen faucet by Herbeau do you have? I am trying to decide between the Flamande and the Royale. Thanks.
Threeapples I love the Royale but like the Flamande as well. I went with Waterstone PLP and I am more excited about my new faucet than anything else in the kitchen! Do you know what finish you are going to go with? I think the Royale looks more vintagey and the Flamande looks more contemporary but both are beautiful!
Herbeau faucets are made in France and imported into the U.S. by Herbeau Creations of America, Inc. located in Florida.
The faucets are not certified to comply with U.S./Canadian standards of safety and reliability (ASME A 112.18.1/B 125.1) nor U.S./Canadian lead-free standards (ANSI/NSF 61/9) and are, therefore, not approved by any model plumbing code in use in North America. Because they are not approved, they may not be lawfully installed in any public and most private water systems in North America, and if installed, must be removed.
They are not certified to comply with the separate lead free standards of California, Vermont, Louisiana or Maryland The faucets have not been approved for use in Massachusetts. They may not be sold in those states nor installed in any water system, public or private.
The faucets have not been shown to comply with the lead-free requirements of the Safe Drinking Water Act. Faucets that do not comply with the Act may not be "introduced into commerce" nor installed in any drinking water system.

scraggley unpruned japanese maple
I have become the proud owner of a 20 year old (ish) Japanese maple that has never seen a set of pruning shears. One stick going straight up 20+ ft. I am going to try to save it, the root system must be great, but I have no idea what to do. I'm thinking of just whacking it off about 5 feet up (above a limb)and taking good care of it. Is there any better way?
Pruning is never a "requirement" with Japanese maples but rather an aesthetic choice. I know of many, many JM's that have never seen pruners (or so seldom that they wouldn't recognize them!) and most look just fine and are structurally sound as well.
As previously stated, a photo of the tree in question is essential before anyone can give appropriate advice. And as an aside, "whacking" and Japanese maples should never be used together in the same sentence :-) Of any type of ornamental tree, the correct pruning of JM's is an art rather than a science and a very delicate hand should be used at all times. Once it's off, you can't put it back!!

Holy Homeslice, That's Us!
Holla. We're donning our best homie gear (via Photoshop… is there any other way?) to pop in and say "really?!" and "thanks!!" to everyone who nominated us for Apartment Therapy's Homie awards, a fun little year-ending blog love-fest. Over the last week more than six hundred home blogs were nominated (we had fun voting for a slew of them!) and we were beyond excited to find out that we're one of six finalists in the "Home Design" category! For shizzle? We can hardly believe our slightly narrowed eyes.
It feels amazing to be grouped with such an ill (in homie talk, this is a compliment and has nothing to do with bad health) collection of bloggers. We still find ourselves shaking our heads and wondering how the heck we got here.
The voting officially ends tomorrow so feel free to drop in and log a vote for your favorite home design blog- whether it's us or not! Everyone gets one vote in each category (like "Green Home", "Home Cooking", etc) so we're also having fun moseying over to support other online reads that we love. If you're already registered at AT, just click here (and if you haven't registered yet click here and once you've confirmed your registration by email just click here to cast your vote).
Like we said, it's a veritable blog love-fest over there and it makes us feel better than busting a cap. Whatever that means. We're no good at this whole hardcore thing. We're really more comfortable with terminology like "cohesive color scheme" and "functional floor plan." Off to study urbandictionary.com a bit more. We obviously have to brush up on the whole homie thing.

Taking It All to Heart
Published: February 1, 2001
To the Editor:
Re ''Murder at Dartmouth'' (letter, Jan. 31):
The letter writer said it is cold to dismiss the tragedies that strike those we don't know, and she suggested that we would be a better society if we cared more about our fellow citizens even when we don't know them.
While it is hard to quarrel with such sentiments, it is also true that we'd be in tears and deep depression at all times if we actually took to heart the tragedies that afflict those we don't know.
We are steeped in news of murder, genocide and earthquakes. We watch these stories unfolding on the TV news as we eat popcorn and enjoy soft drinks. It's callous and macabre, but psychic numbing seems necessary if we are to go to work in the morning and function.

Junius and Albert's Adventures in the Confederacy
A Civil War Odyssey
Reviewed by
Karl Helicher
Journalist tells the thrilling story of two nineteenth century Yankee reporters who escaped a Southern prison while covering the Civil War.
It takes one to know one. Or, in this case, two, as Peter Carlson, who spent twenty-two years as a Washington Post reporter, tells the thrilling story of two famous reporters, Junius Browne and Albert Richardson, who covered the Civil War beat in the South for Horace Greeley's New York Tribune. Carlson is also the author of K Blows Top: A Cold War Comic Interlude Starring Nikita Khrushchev and Roughneck: The Life and Times of Big Bill Haywood and is a columnist for American History magazine.
Browne and Richardson were captured while covering the Battle of Vicksburg on May 3, 1863. Although several of their fellow passengers on a tug boat that caught fire (when shelled) were scalded to death, the immediate future for the Yankee reporters from the nation's staunchest pro-abolitionist newspaper was bleak. It turned out worse than they imagined.
Carlson divides this absorbing book into two acts: Browne and Richardson's hellish experience in three prisons, and their escape having realized they were likely to starve or die from diseases that swept overcrowded prisons. After nineteen months in jail, Richardson and Browne (with a forged pass) escaped on December 18, 1864, and embarked on an improbable twenty-seven-day trek over two hundred miles of frozen, snow-covered Tennessee and North Carolina mountains.
This dangerous undertaking would not have succeeded if they could not have depended on the kindness of strangers. "God bless the Negroes," Browne gratefully exclaimed, as slaves fed, hid, and guided the starving Union reporters to the mountains, despite the beatings or death they would likely confront for helping Northerners. The mountains were riddled with Confederates but were also home to anti-slavery sympathizers. In Junius and Albert's Adventures in the Confederacy, Carlson raptly portrays the heroics of Dan Ellis ("Old Red Fox"), Melvina Stephens, and numerous other guides who led Browne and Richardson to Union troops near Knoxville on January 13, 1865.
This thoroughly-researched page-turner relies on contemporary newspaper accounts and both reporters' memoirs: Browne's Four Years in Secessia and Richardson's The Secret Service, the Field, the Dungeon and the Escape. Carlson's character development vividly transforms the nineteenth-century reporters into traveling companions who will engross readers with their tale of "A Thrilling Capture, a Long Confinement, and a Marvelous Escape," as a Tribune headline described the adventure on February 8, 1865.

They turned out great & were delivered in great time as usual from WPD. I would definitely recommend this design! They come with an oversized envelope and part of the envelope is glued shut so the card will not move around in it."
"I am glad I read the reviews because the pearlized paper gave the gold and silver printing a beautiful luminous glow. It did say that in small print, but people sometime miss the small print. For those who said a particular product was too small, I also recommend drawing it to scale on a piece of paper so there are no surprises. This invite, at 6-1/8" x 4-1/2", is perfect. Very impressed with the product."
"We ordered these in black and white and had them printed on the pearl white paper. They are gorgeous and we were very pleased with the entire experience!"

what is your most comfortable garden shoes?
and also to wear in chicken run? saw sloggers but only could find up to size 10 even on web site ????rubber shoes so hot in summer....
so anyone???
Either my tivas or crocks. But with crocks, your feet don't sweat! They do get stuff trapped in them and you have to do the crock shake. They squeak when you get water in them, but they are the closest to being barefoot you can get! DO NOT get cheap fako's ! They are made of plastic and make your feet sweat! Crocks are made from a vegetable protein (Soy?) that doesn't make your feet sweat! BELEIVE ME! Until my DH started wearing them, we had a smelly house!
BTW Woohooman, give your feet a soak in 1 part (dollar store) Listerine, 1 part vinegar and 2 parts HOT water, then scrub away with a grinder, or whatever you use on your summer feet, and everything will sluff off.....AND smell minty fresh! I do this about every 2 weeks when I have to go out in public! ;) It really works! Nancy
I garden in my slippers!
It's not intentional. It's that I'll walk out there in the morning with a cup of coffee--just to check things out--and, well, you know how it goes. A half hour later your coffee is sitting there cold while you're knee-deep in zucchini, picking pole beans or staking up tomatoes.
I did at least get smart and start buying rubber soled slippers, heh.
A friend gave me a pair of kayaking shoes her husband didn't want, probably because they look kind of girlish. I have big feet for a woman and he has small feet for a man so they are only slightly too big but can get wet. They have a Velcro strap across the instep so easy on and off and they are very flexible. They have enough of a sole that I can dig with a shovel but not so stiff they are uncomfortable for stoop labor. If I am doing simple weeding, I wear cheap flip flops. I'll have to try the Listerine soak.
I use leather water-proof New Balance. They are wide, breathe OK - can wear them even in 90F weather. They also protect from wet grass in the morning or after rain. I do not need to tie them every time - can just slip in them. I don't have chicken run, but I compost strait horse manure, and to turn it I need to walk on it. I just hose it off the shoes later.
It depend on WHEN >
Early in the season, with rain, mud, .. I wear something water proof. Later on regular snickers. Now that there isn't much work to be done, sandals will do. How about bare foot sometimes ?
Bogs boots in cold/wet weather. Orthaheel sandals in summer. Hiking shoes with custom orthotics in them for in between. For chicken run, Bogs makes the Urban Farmer "sandal" which is actually a crock-shaped slip on shoe that looks waterproof. I find Bogs have a very comfortable foot bed.
Good luck! Feet gotta be happy.
Constantly have on the low rubber mocs from LLBean. I'm usually in the garden for 2-3 hrs at a stretch though, not all day. DH wears NB sneakers bc there's not enough support in the rubber mocs for him. I really hate to get my feet wet or dirty, so I'm happy with the rubber. They do get warm in 90 degree temps, but in that kind of weather, I'm done with most of the hard work and not staying in the garden for long.
Birckenstocks for gardening - and most other activities. haha. They are incredibly comfortable, and you can get different styles that don't look so granola. You can also rinse them off and dry them in the sun. I've had the same pair since 2008 and am only considering getting a new pair this year.
When I visit ppl with chickens, they have flip flops to wear in that area, so you don't track dirt in the house.
A pair of New Balance 759 trail shoes that I waterproof. I use them for all my outdoor work - gardening, mowing, etc. They have great traction, are breathable, provide protection from shovels, hoes, mower engine heat, and protect my feet from nastiness. Do I end up with a noticable sock tan line? Yes! Is this better than possible injury? Yes!
Natydoll...I also wore Birkies for YEARS! My hubby called them anti-rape devices! LOL
I was in London during the late 70's at the Tate museum when a guy came up and said "Duuuuuuude, you from Northern California?" I affirmed and asked how he knew.....Birkies! They were only made in N cal in those days!
I've switched to the "new" anti rape devices......Crocks! ;) Nancy
I have a pair of random shoes that look like sloggers, sort of, but the upper was cloth. Not hot, easy to slip on and off, and protect me from bees in the clover and chicken dits in the pen. Wish I could find another pair, these are about beat.
I live on an old farm and had the fear f tetanus (and getting stepped on by large animals) drilled into me, so I always wear shoes and socks. No animals now, but it's a habit. I find it hard to wear sandals. I usually wear a pair of cheap canvas slip ons. I like the ones I can order from Grasshoppers. Only problem is they don't fare well in the washing machine.
I wear Crocs everywhere except in the garden. My number one boot is an Australian boot. They are easy on/off, good traction without too deep of tread, and rugged as the Outback.
Although for now I use a pair with zippers because I found them at a thrift store new for $10.00. They are easy on/off and have a good solid arch for pushing in a shovel. The tread doesn't fill with mud and they've serviced me for a couple of years now.
No laces for me ever again!
Here is a link that might be useful: Rossi Endura Boots
when it's warm and dry? whatever is on my feet really but i've altered my shoe collection to be garden-oriented at this point pretty much. ;) flipflops, soludos espadrilles (good price and comfy), clogs.
for when i'm digging and getting muddy i've got a pair of croc boots that i love - so ridiculously comfy - don't get too hot, really soft, easy on and off and waterproof.
i can't be bothered with anything that laces or zips anymore. ;)
Here is a link that might be useful: croc rain boots
I wear crocs year-round in the garden. However, I live in the rainy Pacific NW, and am in search of a comfy, easily cleaned shoe that doesn't have holes in it (to keep the rain out) for winter gardening. If you don't deal with a lot of rain and mud, I highly recommend crocs. They're comfortable slip-ons, and so easy to keep clean!

Real estate agent makes last-minute entrance in Atwater City Council race
A newcomer entered the Atwater City Council race minutes before the close of the deadline for candidates to pull filing paperwork to run for office in November.
The deadline was extended to 5 p.m. Wednesday because the two incumbents in Atwater – Mayor Pro Tem Craig Mooneyham and Councilman Jeff Rivero – did not file for re-election, according to the county elections office.
Brian Raymond, 33, a real estate agent and co-owner of American Realty in Atwater, said he was contacted by more than 20 people in the community, urging him to run for office. Raymond, who said he had considered running for City Council in the past, rushed to file his paperwork on Wednesday.
"I literally got my papers in at 4:59 p.m.," Raymond said. "I think my energy and ideas can help restore Atwater. I believe the city needs new leadership to restore Atwater to the place it was when I grew up."
Raymond, who's the youngest candidate in the Atwater City Council race, worked as a Livingston police officer for nearly five years. If elected, Raymond said, he plans to focus on restoring law enforcement services, bringing new businesses to Atwater and ensuring fiscal responsibility for the city.
"The cops in Atwater are used as political pawns whenever there is a problem," Raymond said. "When we're running out of money, we cut cops. I really want to help law enforcement, and we need to make sure those that protect us are protected."
Mooneyham and Rivero, both elected in 2010, announced they will not seek re-election this month because of personal and family reasons.
Raymond will run against three other candidates for one of the two seats on the Atwater City Council: elementary school employee Fernando Echevarria, 51; retired fire Capt. James Vineyard, 57; and pastor and former retail executive Bill Barkman, 61.
Atwater resident Steve Jensen previously pulled papers to run for City Council, but said he will no longer seek office.
Atwater voters heading to the polls in November will also be asked to elect the city's next mayor.
Longtime Atwater Mayor Joan Faul, 73, is seeking re-election, but will be challenged by Jim Price, 63, vice president of operations at Gemini Flight Support.
Retired business owner Wayne Wallace, 77, pulled papers to run against the mayor earlier this month, but said he changed his mind.
Faul has been mayor since 2006, and served four years as a council member prior to that.

The Obama Administration has threatened to veto a bill from Republican U.S. Rep. John Kline that would rewrite the federal No Child Left Behind Act.
The House is set to vote as early as Thursday on Kline's bill, which would scrap much of the landmark legislation that George W. Bush signed into law more than a decade ago.
Kline's "Student Success Act" would erase dozens of federal school improvement programs, grant state and local districts more freedom to implement reform plans and prevent Education Secretary Arne Duncan from encouraging states to implement national standards.
The bill also would send to states money in a block grant to teach English language-learners, students from poor families and rural students. The states would then decide which students would benefit most from those dollars.
The plan has drawn almost unanimous opposition from Democrats, including President Obama. Civil rights groups and teachers' unions also have criticized the bill.
In a statement of official policy to Congress, the Office of Management and Budget said the bill "would represent a significant step backwards in the effort to help our Nation's children and their families prepare for their futures."
"If the president were presented with H.R. 5, his senior advisors would recommend that he veto the bill," the statement concluded.
Democrats have called the legislation the "Letting Students Down Act," arguing that it weakens accountability for schools.
The bill also has met criticism from conservative Republicans, who argue that it doesn't do enough to limit the federal government's role in K-12 education.
Kline touted the bill on Tuesday while touring a Washington, D.C., charter school with House Majority Leader Eric Cantor.

Initial Lineup for 2012 Muddy Roots Festival Europe
2012 will go down as the year that the roots music revolution went transcontinental, as the Muddy Roots Festival heads over to the Old World to storm the beaches of Europe with a ridiculous lineup of talent. Though the festival is happening in Europe, it will mostly feature American acts.
The 6 "Other" Country Music Archetypes
Alright, so we all had a good chuckle poking fun at the 6 Pop Country Archetypes, now let's see what happens when I turn the poison pen towards the folks much more likely to frequent Saving Country Music; those folks that live on the fringes of the greater country music world.
2011 Song of the Year – Willy Tea Taylor's "Life Is Beautiful"
It was an unbelievably strong field, and they all deserve to be recognized. But in the end what Willie Tea Taylor's "Life Is Beautiful" had that no other candidate could match was poignancy. It's also hard to deny a song that can make grown ass men cry, but Willy Tea's poignancy is what really put him over the top for 2011.
Album Review – Stoney LaRue "Velvet"
Despite the safety, there is a good flow to this music, and a patience. In most music, you have a group of guys doing their best individually, hoping it fits in the context of the song. With Velvet, everyone is on board, listening to the music and what the song is calling for. It's the difference of four horsemen riding side by side across the plain, or four horses yoked together.
Curious Timing of Rodney Atkins Re-Signing with Curb
As the headlines were making people wonder why anybody would ever sign with Curb in the first place, here was a big country star re-signing with the label he's been with since 1996. We would later find out the potential reason for the curious move. On November 21st, police were called to the home of Rodney Atkins…

The 6 Pop Country Archetypes
Have you ever wondered who actually listens to those songs they play on pop country radio? Here are the six primary Archetypes, or as Music Row refers to them, "target demographics", that make up the audience of the pop country world: The "Affliction T-Shirt "New Outlaw" Doucher", "Bored Suburban Soccer Mom", "Glitter-Faced Pop Country Girl"…
Curb Releases Tim McGraw Single 'Right Back Atcha Babe'
On Monday Curb Records released a brand new single from Tim McGraw's long-disputed album Emotional Traffic called "Right Back Atcha Babe". The timing of the single release is somewhat puzzling. Many McGraw fans are refusing to partake in Emotional Traffic and it's singles, not wanting their money to go to the label that kept him under thumb for years.
Saving Country Music's Worst Country Songs of 2011
I can't recall a year with this high caliber of a crop of bad songs. This group can hold their own against the Achy Breaky Hearts and Honky Tonk Bandonka Donk's of the last few decades. And this year might be the first that songs do well not in spite of being stupid, but because they are stupid.
New Justin Townes Earle 'Nothing's Gonna Change..' 3/27
Bloodshot Records has just announced that Justin Townes Earle will be releasing his 4th LP Album on March, 27th, 2012, and it is a mouthful, called Nothing's Gonna Change The Way You Feel About Me Now. Earle told Billboard he wanted his next album to have a Memphis vibe. This album will hypothetically be one Justin Townes Earle recorded while sober.
Album Review – Ray Lawrence Jr. "Raw & Unplugged"
This is some of the best true country songwriting I have heard all year. I am floored folks. I'll be honest with you, knowing the context of this album going in, I didn't think it had much chance to charm my little music heart, but that is exactly what it did. Ray's songs are just so true, honest, well-written, and authentic, it makes his adeptness at song craft absolutely undeniable.
Interview – Derek Dunn / Formerly of .357 String Band
One of the great things about the now disbanded .357 String Band from Milwaukee, WI was that it really didn't have a frontman. However guitar player and songwriter Derek Dunn did feel like the primary spokesman throughout its 7 years, and the fulcrum that the rest of the band rotated around.

Keys to Taylor Swift's Success Every Artist Can Learn From
When people talk about the "manufactured" pop star, what they mean is taking a pretty face, and pushing all the right buttons to make an artist that has mass appeal at the expense of soul and creativity. It is very easy to pigeon hole Taylor into this lot. But in truth Taylor Swift's success has nothing to do with her following all the rules. She broke all of them.
Ray Wylie Hubbard's "Grifter's Hymnal" Album Upcoming
When you're compiling your list of most-anticipated albums for 2012, you've got another one to add to the top of the heap. Ray Wylie Hubbard has announced he's got a new one ready for 2012 called Grifter's Hymnal, and he's got an interesting cast of characters helping him, including Ringo Starr, long-time drummer Rick Richards, George Reiff, and his son Lucas Hubbard.
Album Review – The Carper Family "Back When"
The Carper Family illustrates the unfair, unreasonable amount of talent, and specifically female talent, that can be found in Austin, TX on any given night. And that is what The Carper Family does; they are a working, local band, playing many nights a week at various Austin venues. Back When proves that this local band deserves more national, and international attention.

Nashville Should Be Careful of Its Mike Curb Legacy
As Nashville and Nashville-based entities are erecting what will be landmarks, before taking money from Mike Curb, maybe they should take to heart the headlines that have hounded the Mike Curb name over the last few years, and ask themselves if that name is a legacy their building, their institution, or the City of Nashville wants to tie their future to.

I am amazed by the style of the author. The way the story flows and keeps you connected as if you have witnessed this is beyond imagination. I could not stop reading the latter half uninterrupted as I was glued to my kindle for 4 hours..
Great Great novel! I am still thinking about it as this is so close to be a non-fiction.
Lahiri has demonstrated from past works that she is a capable writer, but she seems strangely detached from her characters in this novel. They never come to life, and this flaw leaves the entire story pervaded with apathy. We can only hope Lahiri will be more inspired with her next project.
Although I enjoyed Lahiri's other books and although this novel was nominated for both the Man Booker and the Bailey's prizes, I found this family saga set from the 1960s to the present day disappointing. Characters seemed type-cast and references to the Naxalite movement were oddly superficial. The novel did contain any insights nor tell the reader much.
Extraordinary writing. Pulitzer prize-winning talent. This could be real-life drama, carried out though in Bengali and America. Near enough to the quality and character depictions of John Steinbeck.
Elegantly written. A complex story about love, loss and regret and what is left behind when one leaves the country and culture of one's birth.
This is a wonderful book, although it's hard to put your finger on why it is so good. While reading it I felt I was fully inhabiting the world the characters were living in. It's the first book of Lahiri's that I have read and I wasn't expecting much given its reviews, most of which seemed to say her other books were better. The moral may be ignore reviews. But then you'd have to ignore me when I say it's worth reading.
Whatever. Make up your own mind.
Jhumpa Lahiri's writing appears on each page with spacious ease and unusual candor. The story in The Lowland is spread out over several decades in the lives of the four main characters.
The joy in reading this book can be felt threw the authors attention to the rich details of every day life that soon reveal emotional insights into each characters response to a shared turning point, a trauma.
April 2014
I absolutely loved it. I've read all of Lahiri's books and this may be my favorite. An extraordinary story detailed in her, as always, beautiful prose.
grew up in Calcutta and lived the experiences Lahiri has described in her novel. She has been true to the events and her characters portray accurately the young men and women of the time. As is always the case with Lahiri this book too is somewhat woman-centric and Gauri is more or less the main character. She is a bundle of contradictions and her relationship with Bela, her daughter, complex. Subhash's comment, "My mother was right. You don't deserve to be a parent. The privilege was wasted on you." is justified. Lahiri's observations on life through the eyes of her characters are very astute. Biljoli feels the shame of surviving one child and losing another who still lives. This is such a poignant observation; and the book is full of such statements. A very interesting read indeed.

melons for northern cooler climates, WI
I grew a few melons (Pride of WI, Netted Gem, Anne Arundel) this past year, but was mainly disappointed. It was a tough, tough summer with very cool temperatures and growing conditions for melons. Living between Madison, WI and Milwaukee WI, in zone 5, the season felt more Zone 4-ish. June was especially cool with highs only reaching the 60's, with plenty of cold rain. I think I've learned a bit in the process (I'll use black plastic mulch next season,) but I think I need expert help to really have great success next year. I wonder if you wouldn't mind helping answer a few questions? I'd like to introduce my kids to great home-grown melons.
What melon varieties have proven to do well in cooler climates? I'm open to melons from all regions (NA, Eur and Asia.)
As I mentioned, I'll use black plastic mulch next year, but do you recommend trellising for improved yields and for combatting cool weather? In combination with black plastic?
When trellising, what's the ideal distance between plants? How strongly do you feel about trellising? I have adequate space to allow rambling, but willing to trellis for more, ripe melons (though would prefer less work :)
My soil conditions are good, and I continue add organic material like grass clippings and leaves. Do you recommend anything else to help melon growth?
Thank you for whatever help you can provide. I hope this is the correct forum. If not, please advise if other forums are more suitable.
Best wishes, Rod McCrimmon
The earliest cantaloupe that I have grown is Alaska (Vesey)Fast Break and Halona are also touted as short season melons. Earlisweet and Goddess ( Stokes seed) are also short season melons. Maverick, Earlichamp, Earligold, Earliqueen, and Sweet Granite ( Johnny's) are possibilities.
Black plastic will be valuable in a cooler climate. Trellising, you are on your own.
You might try the Minnesota Midget. They're not big, but they are very sweet, and i quite liked the flavor, and they were designed to grow in a short season.
I grew most of my melons on trellis this year, and let 3 plants sprawl. The sprawlers had much better production, but the ones that were trellised stayed much healthier overall - they had no disease issues and the melons were much more perfect individually. I will probably do half and half next year, trellis some and let some sprawl.
Growing melons can be a bit tricky and variety is importantas is using black plastic., but it is only part of it. I also suffer from cool nights in June, which melons really depise....to help things along either cover the vines with floating row cover or a tunnel of plastic.....you will get earlier and bigger fruit. Remember to remove the covering when the vines begin to flower to let those bees do their job.
I found trellising to be a bust as well.
Watermelons Golden Crown & Sugar baby for me have been earliest, also Cream of Saskatchewan. Cantaloupes...lots of varieties seem to work well, but earlidew is always a winner.
Good luck and have fun.
I live in zone 5 at 7,000 feet and this year we got no rain until August, two weeks of summer heat and the rest of the time the temperatures were up and down with lots of cold nights. For the first time I grew two plants of a small Black Tailed Mountain watermelon. They were grown with black plastic and over the top clear plastic until they started to bloom. So far I've eaten three excellent ripe watermelons and have another three to eat as they turn creamy/yellow on the bottom. This seems to be a good short season watermelon.
Rod I live north of you in west cent. WI This year I planted 3 hills of Athena musk melon and had 21 ripe ones. Very sweet. I also grow Black Tail Mountain watermelon for several years. They are great. I also grow them on black plastic. Since I started with the plastic I always get ripe melons.

Find us on:
Ever heard of spelt? I didn't think so! Surprising enough spelt is a species of wheat which has been a staple food item around the world throughout history. Spelt wasn't brought to America until 1890, and then dropped out of the food industry due to the growing popularity of unhealthy processed bread wheat shortly after. Since the turn of the 21st Century, spelt has seen a quick comeback in the organic health food movement because spelt requires very few fertilizers to grow. Spelt's recent popularity has caused many companies to use it in many products. In addition to Julian Bakery Breads, spelt is used in biscuits, crackers, pasta, and matzo.
Spelt is used at Julian Bakery for a number of reasons. Similar to KAMUT, it contains moderate amounts of Gluten, but is mysteriously well tolerated by many people with wheat allergy. However, because spelt contains gluten, Celiac Sprue patients cannot stomach spelt wheat. Spelt has a healthy nutritional profile, containing:
The combination of nutrients that spelt contains offers great benefits for people who suffer from migraine headaches and atherosclerosis. Spelt benefits also include prevention of numerous health risks such as type 2 diabetes, heart failure, gallstones, and breast cancer.

The story takes place in an alternate universe where the Tokugawa Shogunate (established in 1603) still rules the Japanese empire and any foreign influences have been pushed back or destroyed. Muneakira Yagyu plans to attend school and steps off a train, but he quickly finds himself thrust into a conflict inside the school: the reincarnations of Sanada Yukimura and Gotou Matabei are trying to fight against the tyranny of the domineering Sen Tokugawa and her servant, a meido-fied Hattori Hanzo who leads a band of female ninjas.
After managing to escape from their grasp, Muneakira is trapped on a bridge when a red-haired girl falls from the sky and kisses him. She calls herself Jubei Yagyu as the episode ends.
