Make more room for the great metro sell-off of 2013.
With the unsurprising news that The New York Times Company is trying, once again, to part with The Boston Globe, we see the start of a wave of likely change in metro newspaper ownership across the United States. When the Globe changes hands, and when Tribune puts its metros on the block, readers in Boston, Baltimore, Chicago, Los Angeles, Hartford, Orlando and South Florida will all see change. They'll join readers in Tampa, Chicago, Orange County, San Diego, and Philadelphia, who have had new owners take over the local presses recently. Add in readers in Denver and Seattle, who lost one of their two papers completely. It's astounding, really.
The Globe sale, first reported by Bloomberg's Edmund Lee and Jeffrey McCracken and immediately confirmed by the Times, is the next logical step in The New York Times' global aspirations. Over the years, the Times Co. has sold its regional newspaper group), its digital standalones (About.com and more), its classical music station, and even its share in the Red Sox. It's even sold off most of its own flagship building.
All those sales have done two things. First, they improved the company's balance sheet. The serial infusions mean the company now has more cash than debt for the first time in a while. Second, they allow management to focus exclusively on The New York Times. Jettisoning all the other businesses has meant that management could focus on its singular global brand. By 2012, the Times had grown to 80 percent of company revenues, with the Globe (and the New England Media Group, which it dominates) contributing the other 20 percent.
Selling the Globe is simply the last step in the process of the Times' focus on its global opportunity. The arrival of new CEO Mark Thompson likely had little to do with the decision; though he recently visited the Globe to meet and greet, figure that his role in the Globe decision was one of ratification. His strategy, some details of which will be announced in coming weeks, is all about monetizing the Times' global audience. Given that, and the fact that the Globe has been financially underperforming the Times, makes the decision to put the property on the market a fairly easy one.
The Times outgrew New York over the decades by starting home delivery across the country; now more than half of its papers are delivered outside New York metro. What was once a national opportunity is now a global one, and that's led to the company's all-in bet. It will live or die, as a company, as The New York Times.
All of that leaves The Boston Globe in a familiar pickle. It's not global, even though some of its reporting has reached out globally. It's a metro, and it has suffered along with the rest of its metro peers ("The newsonomics of Tribune's metro agony"). That means likely ad losses of another 8 percent or so this year, even with a little digital ad growth. Unlike its big brother ("The newsonomics of the zero and The New York Times"), its all-access digital circulation growth hasn't made up for those ad declines. For 2012, the Globe was down about 2 percent in circulation revenues and the same overall. The Globe, then, is neither a contributor to the Times' global vision nor to its bottom line. NYT Co. doesn't break out the profit of the Globe's New England group, which includes the Worcester Telegram & Gazette. We can figure it may be about 15 percent of the Times' 2012 overall operating income of $133 million. That would mean about $20 million a year.
Which takes us to the juicier questions: Who might want the Globe, and how much is it worth?
We can figure the Globe group will go for $100-$150 million, assuming its pension obligations aren't part of the deal. That's 4-5x those annual profits. The price also fits another sad metric: Metro newspaper properties are today worth about a tenth of what they were worth at their height. So, for the Globe, that's $1.1 billion 20 years ago, and maybe $110 million today. Newsrooms may have suffered a 30-50 percent decline in numbers, but the newspapers themselves itself have lost 90 percent of market value.
At $110 million, who knows who might come out of the woodwork for a prize with the value, both symbolic and real, of The Boston Globe? Today, some 66,000 Americans can claim a net worth of least $20 million. Put a few together into a group, civic or investment or both, and you've got a bidder. Expect that there are numerous conversations now going among Boston's moneyed elite. So far, no one's talking publicly. On the list:
Probably, not on the list: former Globe fancier Jack Welch, who presumably has gone on to other things; Rupert Murdoch, who wants the L.A. Times much more; and Warren Buffett, who has eschewed metros in favor of smaller community newspapers. (Although do expect an announcement of another Berkshire Hathaway newspaper acquisition — as soon as Monday.)
The Times Co. has hired Evercore Partners to assist in the sale. Would-be buyers will find these strengths and weaknesses as they spin through the Globe's numbers:
Make no mistake: 2013, as your friendly newspaper realtors would tell you, is a great time to sell. The last 18 months have seen the greatest volume of deals in the last five years. And, why not: There's a mildly up economy, all-access is bolstering revenue optimism, and heck, the Oracle himself, Warren Buffett, is buying newspapers by the dozen. The only problem for sellers is that prices haven't moved much up. The newspaper market looks a lot like the nation's housing markets: There's a better balance of buyers and sellers, yes, but prices haven't picked up much from their bottoms.
Still, for the Times Company, it's time to let its impressive little brother go.
That big brother/little brother relationships has, of course, rankled Globe people over the years, ever since the Times Company paid $1.1 billion for the Globe in 1993. Yet, if you had to have an at-times overbearing big brother, you'd want one that had similar values. (We'll defer comparisons to the Chicago Tribune and Tribune Company/Los Angeles Times relationship, which often has seemed more like a journalistic Hatfields and McCoys dramedy.) New York, through richer and poorer, has largely supported the Globe's journalistic mission.
At the Globe today, you have to wonder who the new parent will be. That, of course, is a question square in the court of New York.
How much will the Times Co. — which has been a good steward of impressive Boston journalism — use civic interest as a filter in its consideration of buyers? Dollars are dollars; it's easy to pick the top bidder. It the payout were a little lower from a buyer showing the values and wherewithal to maintain the Globe's public service mission, would the Times Co. opt for it? We can hope so. It would be its final act of Boston Globe stewardship, one the good citizens of one of America's first cities will well appreciate.

Sue Julsen's Blog - Posts Tagged "memoir"
My mother had been buried earlier that day, and I had so many thoughts; so many feelings running rampant. Not knowing how to quiet the noise inside my head, I grabbed pen and paper and just started writing whatever came to mind.
I hadn't cried since I'd been told of Mama's accidental death, but that night, when I'd finished writing, one lonely tear fell onto the page. The sadness that I couldn't share with another soul had gone down in black and white, and only then did the voices inside my head become silent...
Why Mama?
Mama, why did you go away?
I wanted to be with you
I wanted to make the hurt go away.
He told me you were dead
Then one day, you were there.
You said you looked for me for six years
You said you wanted to take me home with you.
So, why did you go away?
I never had a home
Then one day you were there.
You said, "Let's go back to Texas
That is your home, you know."
I remember the red dress
I looked for holes burned through
But there were none to find.
You were so pretty Mama
Why did you go away?
— Sue Julsen
My life before Mama's death helped inspire me to write my story. In upcoming blogs I'll tell a little more about what happened in my early life that led up to the writing of my memoir.
I believe: IF I FOLLOW MY DREAMS and DON'T QUIT, I will succeed...
And I won't quit until my story is in the homes of all my readers.
NOTE: Poem is copyright protected and may not be reproduced or copied in any form or by any means - graphic, electronic, or mechanical, including photocopying, recording, taping, or information storage and retrieval systems - without written permission of the author.
Made it to the last chapter, but nearing the end, the story took on a life of its own. Although exciting, is was an unexpected turn.
However, I did finish that one last night, and am again trying to write the last chapter...see what happens this time...
Will it get finished? Or, will there be another surprise hidden inside my head?
Stay tuned...Cutter's Revenge is in the works!
Well, we hit a bit of a snag with the cover art -- my artist went and got herself pregnant! Her and her hubby are very happy, as am I, but this has slowed things down just a bit.
If all goes as planned, the cover will be done within the next 5 weeks.....just before baby makes her arrival.
So, dear friends and fans, hang on just a while longer. It is a book worth the wait!
In the meantime, if you haven't read the first two books in this series, you have a little longer to get that done.
My e-books: Bitter Memories: A Memoir of Heartache & Survivial; Trophy Murders and Cutter's Revenge can be found on amazon, or go to my website to learn more about all the books at: http://sj2448.wix.com/suejulsen
You can follow the links on the site that will take you to each book on amazon.
My new book, From The Heart: A Collection of Poems and Stories, is also the first to be available on audio. You can listen to a sample on amazon, and it is awesome!

This is a gripping, unforgettable, emotional journey.
This was my life..."
You can also go to amazon.com and read the first 3 chapters, and part of the forth for free.
Website: http://sj2448.wix.com/suejulsen
My story exposes a life on the run after being kidnapped by my father——a life of hunger, fear and abuse. When the FBI finds me and I return home with my mother, I think my life is going to improve...but does it?
NOTE: Strong language and heartbreaking content in Bitter Memories is not suitable for children.
TROPHY MURDERS is the creative non-fiction/crime fiction sequel, and is an action-packed story about a sadistic gang of killers, and the life of the cop (my uncle/adoptive father) who tries to bring justice and solace back to his little town while struggling to keep his own family secrets hidden.
CUTTER'S REVENGE, although mostly fiction, completes the trilogy with another ruthless serial killer stalking our small town. But this time years of secrets and lies are finally revealed ... and an ending to die for...
While BITTER MEMORIES is the actual true story of my life, TROPHY MURDERS and CUTTER'S REVENGE have a little bit of everything a reader will want: action, suspense, drama, a love story or two, and so much more; both mixed with truth, making this a trilogy you will not want to miss.
After reading Bitter Memories you'll know truth from the fiction included in the sequels of this series.
Please visit my website for more about these books, my new poetry book (also in audio), as well as what will be coming out soon. Links to amazon are available on the site for your convenience.
Excerpt from Bitter Memories: A Memoir of Heartache & Survival:
For once, I didn't care about food or anything else. I just wanted to sleep until the pain inside went away. I felt more sadness than I ever dreamed possible in my short three years, but I didn't know that was only the beginning of much more misery—and pain. NOTE: Strong language and heart-breaking content -- not suitable for children.
Excerpt from Trophy Murders, second in the bitter memories trilogy:
Henry lowered his voice, and stated, "Olivia, I'm dealing with murders all over town and I'm not coming home to this shit. I'm only going to tell you this once. If you ever beat Sarah like that again, I'll use that damn paddle on you. Do I make myself clear?"
Excerpt from Cutter's Revenge, the last in the trilogy:
He had to come home with new prey tonight to stop the racket; the persistent hammering in his head. He had to put an end, even temporarily, to the chatter, the laughter, and the nightmares that were driving him insane.

True Story of a little girl (me) kidnapped by her father...
Still on the road, hungry and scared, I sleep very little. I pretend to be asleep, but I'm waiting for the chance to trick Daddy. And, in a very short time I became very good at tricking him…
Back home, when Mama came home from work, not finding me in my bed, she checked the house and the backyard. She couldn't find me anywhere, and my grandparents also hadn't seen me all morning. She became distraught and called her brother, Henry, a cop…
Please visit my website to learn more about the bitter memories trilogy, and my poetry book, From The Heart, also based on events in my life, that includes short stories that inspired the writing of each poem. From The Heart is also available in audio. You can listen to a preview at Amazon — it is awesome!
NOTE: This is not a cozy, feel-good book. It's a true story of extreme child abuse and the will to survive. Strong language, heart-wrenching content!

15 Shocking Facts About Online Dating
The catfishing, the Photoshopped profile pics and the editorial liberties that take place on online dating profiles are just the beginning; here are 15 shocking facts about online dating.
Tips For Finding A Date This Valentine's Day From The Co-Founders Of Black Dating App MELD
With the influx of online dating sites and apps available to singles, meeting someone has become (seemingly) easier than ever. Although dating sites and apps are getting more and more users to use their platforms to find love each year, the statistics behind single African-American women successfully meeting and finding someone online are still grim compared to other women. According to Quartz, data compiled from Facebook's dating app Are You Interested found Black men and women receive the lowest response rates on many online dating sites than any other race.
Although the research provides a grim reality for the up to 70 percent of professional Black women who are single, dating apps like MELD are working to combat these statistics with a curated platform specifically for black professionals looking for love.
Raissa Tona and Wale Ayeni, the co-founders of MELD, saw the market for a platform for Black professionals to meet and match online a year ago, and have grown since their app launched for iOS six months ago.
"The black professional market [on dating sites and apps] is underserved. There are plenty of dating apps out there that serve a bunch of different segments, but none are catering to the black professional," says Ayeni. "The premise of MELD is that we are creating a platform for black professionals to date and to mingle and to provide an avenue where you can find like-minded people."
With Valentine's Day approaching, MadameNoire spoke with the co-founders of MELD to discuss their dating app, the stigma of online dating in the Black community and how you can snag a date this Valentine's Day weekend.
MadameNoire: What have you experienced so far from African-American professionals on MELD?
Raissa Tona: I think we are still educating. Even on MELD, we have female [users] who will email us and thank us for creating the app and have met someone they are dating from the app, but don't want anyone to know publicly. I don't think we are at the point where we have removed that stigma completely. I think it's changing, but it hasn't changed to where it is as acceptable as it is in some other communities.
Wale Ayeni: We have gotten a lot of users on MELD who has never been on a dating site before. We designed the app in such a way that it is welcoming and not intrusive.
MN: Do you see more of that acceptance to meet someone on dating apps and sites with African-American men or women?
WA: I think it's about 60/40, 40 percent male and 60 percent female, which matches the professional demographic out there.
MN: What are some tips you have for Black professionals looking for love online for the first time?
RT: I would tell people that there's no reason why you should be single and not doing something about it in 2015. If you are single and want to connect with other Black professionals, MELD is there.
But there is no reason you should be sitting home alone on Valentine's Day, especially as a professional. As a professional, you are going to work and probably doing some type of networking or hitting the gym or doing your side hustle. So why not use a tool to make [dating] more efficient? And we are not saying that the only place you can meet people is online. You should go out and meet people and have conversations.
[Finally,] one of the things that we tell people is to be honest. A lot of people don't put up pictures that represent themselves.
MN: What are some innovative ways Black singles can put themselves out there to date or just have fun this Valentine's Day weekend?
RT: Develop interests that are outside of your profession. [MELD] allows users to have more than five pictures, and in those five pictures, our goal is for users to represent themselves and their interests in those five pictures. So, if you like to travel, make sure one of those pictures is a travel picture. If you like to cook, you should display that. People are very visual, and they like to know that there is more to you.
Also, conversation through online and texts can be interpreted a certain way, so pick-up lines that don't work in the normal world don't work online. Maybe start the conversation, when reaching out to a person for the first time, with mentioning something about one of their five pictures. You'll probably stand out to people who have probably reached out to them. So, say something that is unique and not contrived.
You can find more about the MELD app by following them on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram, or download the app for free on iTunes. Download and join MELD to attend one of the three Valentine's Day events that are hosting exclusively for their users in Washington D.C., Houston and San Francisco this coming weekend.

Online dating can be a lot of fun, but it pays to know these facts about online dating before the next time you log on.
The Quick And Dirty Rules On Tinder Dating
In the dating world, eventually the young and the restless become the not so young and desperate and, sooner or later, folks end up on Tinder. People thought Tinder was just a hookup app but after a while you couldn't tell the difference between Tinder and many other dating service platforms such as Plenty of Fish or eHarmony. So what changed? Well, what happened is Tinder made dating as easy as possible. There's no need to fill out a lengthy profile or spend hours perusing through profiles to find a match. It's quick and dirty; swipe left or swipe right. That's it homie!
Unfortunately, that presents a few problems. Like most online platforms, Tinder doesn't come with instructions. It tends to leave people with more questions than answers and all the information needed to make a good decision isn't exactly readily available. That's why I thought I'd lay out some quick and dirty rules for engagement.
Stats show that the success rate for Tinder matches is roughly 5%, this means that you'll need to spend way more time on the app than you originally planned. If you think 10-15 minutes a day will cut it, try 3-5 minutes an hour.
Most people don't keep up-to-date profiles. Don't be 0ne of these people. Make sure you keep your pictures as recent as possible. If you want to know why people get stood up on Tinder dates or they end abruptly, this is why. Someone shows up to a date only to find themselves asking why the person doesn't resemble the person whose profile they swiped to the right.
Also, you ain't got to lie Craig — like a lot of people on Tinder. A lot of guys will claim they're 6'1" and show up to the date at a generous 5'8." It's kind of hard to keep up a lie like that if you actually plan on meeting people in person one day.
You should know there are also a ton of people on Tinder who aren't actually single — either by mistake or completely on purpose; don't let it get to you. The thing is, once you find someone you're interested in dating, you're not likely to take down your profile. Also, there are lots of people (men and women) who just treat the app like it's Hot or Not. They're not looking for anyone to date, they just like judging someone solely based on their looks.
That's the other thing, don't get it twisted or read too deeply into a profile. The creators of Tinder intended for the app to point to the single most effective way of finding a mate, physical attraction. You're not going to read a profile and be captivated by his bio, and if you are, you're reading too deep. If you find him attractive, just ask to meet up for drinks or coffee.
But don't act crazy. Everybody has a little crazy in them. Just don't be so quick to show it when you're on Tinder. Don't harass someone who won't reply to your messages as fast as you'd like. Don't be a repeat text offender either. Never ever scream at someone or take serious offense to something a match says to you. Your defense mechanism is to unmatch them. There's never a reason to ever get in a heated exchange.
Lastly, keep in mind that you don't know these people. As much as you think you've connected and shared plenty of conversations and details, you do not know these people. Do not meet up with a match for the first time in a private location. Always meet up in public the first time, what you do from that point on is up to you.
All in all, have fun. If you're choosing to date on Tinder you have your reasons. If Tinder does the trick, then so be it. Just be careful and be mindful that it's a cold world out there on these Internets.

I Was Under The False Impression Online Dating Would Be Fun
Confession: I've been on a dating website for all of maybe three weeks now and to be honest, I'm over it. I used the word confession in the opening sentence because I'm one of those people who still feels weird about using a dating site to, well, date, and I always said doing so would be my last resort when it came to ending my single streak. So I guess that means I'm now at the end of my rope in more ways than one because after my brief foray into the world of Internet dating, so far all I've gotten out of this is a more dismal outlook on how many desirable fish there are in the sea and a swift comeback for the next person who asks why I'm single and follows that up with a suggestion I try online dating: Bye Felicia.
I can admit that I may have gone into this thing with false expectations. Though I really had no idea what to expect after I haphazardly uploaded my last pic to my profile and struggled to come up with witty descriptions of myself and my life like I don't write for a living, because of the slew of people who recommend I accept online dating as my love and single savior I just knew my search results were going to make me say, "so this is where all the men have been hiding!" Instead, I find myself overwhelmed by a number of notifications for messages from men I really don't want to talk to anyway that don't say anything more than "Hi;" an invitation to have my p-u-s-s-you know the rest eaten, and I've been cussed out by a 22 year old who thought at 29, I should've had more balls to tell him to stop effing talking to me, instead of my polite method which was just to say you're too young. Oh, and then there's the Bangladeshi man who assumed I didn't respond to his message because of his ethnicity and when I told him I have a job and don't sit around on websites (other than MadameNoire) all day answering messages, proceeded to say "put you read my message and the green icon showed you were online." And then there's the other fool who keeps saying "I see I can't get no love" and the man who sent me a message admiring my curves and told me "your pretty" before letting me know he'd want to have sex with me after the first date to get it out the way so we could focus ourselves. Basically men are no different online than they are in real life. The Internet just makes them a bit easier to ignore (Read: block).
I have come across a couple of gentlemen who balance out the aforementioned characters, but overall I'd have to consider my experience to be pretty underwhelming in comparison to the positive reputation this method of dating has earned. For some reason, I thought I'd be scrolling through profiles for hours and find myself tickled at the available men within miles of myself who want the same thing I do. Instead, I'm like, "I could've gone to the bar for this." At least the alcohol would help counter some of the nonsense — and disappointment. There have been some positives though. Part of my reservation for going online had to do with my assumption that Black men don't use dating sites and studies that have found Black women to be the least desired group online. Even thought most of the profiles of Black men I've come across don't express a preference for dating someone of the same race, the demographic is definitely online and I've been e-approached by several. I've also received messages from men of several other racial and ethnic groups which shat all over the previously mentioned study and opened my eyes to my desirability to men outside of a particular segment of the population I felt only found me attractive. So, yay me. Two points for the confidence boost.
Still, I can't say that I'm running home at night to check my messages. Heck, I even deleted the app I had on my phone because I didn't want to be bothered. Part of me feels like maybe I'm not as serious about finding a partner as I thought I was, but the truth is the work of sifting through hundreds of profiles and messages just to maybe identify one person you want to message just isn't fun. It feels like work. And, again, at least out in the streets, there are drinks, food, or some sort of entertainment involved. Which brings me to the other point of men wanting to move things offline too quickly, like "hey, I like your smile can I take you to dinner?" So you can chop my body into pieces later? No thanks.
My biggest issue with online dating is likely that my heart isn't completely in it because I still really want to find someone the old-fashioned, let's-ease-into-this way, but I have to say all the hoopla around e-dating sites as the cure to singledom hardly seems warranted. If the idea of looking for a man the same way you look for a new job appeals to you then you probably will be highly successful. But so far being on a dating site just feels like one more thing I have to begrudgingly "check" — sort of like the mail when you know something's in the box but nothing you really want so you just let it sit there. *Cues meme: I'm single, but be turning down people like I'm taken.
What's been your online dating experience? Do you find it to be dreadful or worth the hassle?

Federal Trade Commission Fines JDI Dating $616K For Creating Fake Online Profiles
JDI Dating, which operates multiple dating sites, charging users between $10 and $30 per month, has been fined a $616, 165 for creating fake profiles. So much for finding the one.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) found that many of the profiles on its sites are not real. And not because users created fake profiles but because the company itself created profiles to lure users to their sitew. JDI Dating owns websites such as CupidsWand.com, FlirtCrowd.com and FindMeLove.com.
JDI Dating would send users messages from fake profiles and once users tried to respond to their messages, JDI Dating would request users to sign up and pay for the site.
In addition to the fine, the FTC has ordered JDI Dating to change their business practices. The company must adjust how it received money from paying customers and has to disclose to users that some profiles are either phony or a continuance of user memberships that have expired.

Inventive New Tricks Women Are Using To Stay Safe While Online Dating
It can be rough out there in the online dating world — in more ways than one. But that doesn't mean you have to close your laptop forever. Women in 2014 have come up with these tricks that will keep anyone safe while dating online.
Custom Photos
Online daters of the stalker variety can use your favorite stock selfie to find information about you from every social media page that it's listed on? All they have to do is search for that photo on the internet.
So if you want to keep your personal information (or real name) a secret until you know someone in person, take a custom photo just for the online dating site.
Police: Man Choked Girlfriend After Realizing He'd Been Catfished
A Georgia man was arrested and charged with fourth-degree assault for allegedly attacking his girlfriend.
According to My Fox Atlanta, the digital lovers met in person for the first time when Cornelius Jefferson, 33, ventured to Kentucky with two suitcases prepared to move in with his ladylove. It's unclear exactly how much time passed between their first face-to-face encounter and the October 21 incident, but according to reports, the pair began to argue during the wee hours of the morning because Jefferson felt that the woman looked nothing like her profile picture.
"When Deputy Morris arrived at the scene, he learned that there had been an argument between this subject and his girlfriend. This subject had allegedly moved from Georgia after meeting this female subject on the Internet. The argument was allegedly because the male subject didn't think she was like she was on the Internet," the Laurel County Sheriff Department shared in a Facebook post.
As the argument escalated, things became physical and Jefferson allegedly choked the victim using both hands, threw food in her face then took off with his two suitcases.
"Deputy Morris located the subject on Litton town road, nearby. Cornelius Jefferson was charged with assault," the Facebook post adds.

Well, of course, they were only hired to do a bukkake scene so it wasn't their choice. But if this were the real world, would you really want to stick your dick in a girl who lets anyone with a pulse jerk off on her? Safer to stand back and let fly.

Weekend Frost...Really? REALLY????
That is the prediction for West Michigan this weekend. Thank goodness I have not pushed the envelope too much this season. No Tomatoes or Peppers in yet. But some of my seeds are just barely popping through. Do you think I could hoe a little more dirt up next to them, even barely cover them.? Some perennials are up, should I be concerned about theses? Hostas, Coneflowers, Russian Sage, Allium, Blanket flowers?
Far as i know the standard advice is to cover perennials when frost is predicted. That's what we do anyway.
Based on my reading and the posts of others here in your zone your normal last frost date is May 15-20 anyway so what seeds do you have planted?
I have beets, spinach, peas, lima, carrots, chard, I am sure I have missed a few.. oh and okra. That has just popped through.
I will throw some sheets down. Our garden sits in a low area and it tends to be a few degrees cooler.
Will keep the tomatoes in their cozy little pots for another week or two.
I thought I had posted this on the Great Lakes forum. Sorry about that!!
I am sure my comment is too late, but 34F..37F is not frost..
I agree with Timmy on frost sensivity.
T ptotect plants of light frost, I would cover them with things like leave, straw... and invert an empty pot on them and put a weight on it( stone, brick..) All you want is to prevent the plant from cooling down by air movement around it. The the ground heat will take care of keeping the plant warm.
Another thing about frost warning type situation is that , the low temperature(say 30F) would normally be around only for couple of hours, no ALL NIGHT LONG.
Excuse me, but frost can easily form at 34F. 32F will freeze, but I've seen frosts, albiet light, at temps in the mid to upper 30's. And all it takes is an hour or two of frost or freeze to kill a plant! Once ice is on the leaves, bye, bye plant. There is a less likelihood of frost on breezy nights because the air circulations keep mixing in warmer air from above. It's the dead calm clear nights when the warmth from the ground radiates straight up into space and the air right near the ground cools quickly causing frost.
I covered everything that is peaking through with a nice layer of straw. Tonight should not be too bad, its Sunday night that I am worried about. Then look out next week....80's. go figure!
Still not putting my tomatoes in till at least another week. They are happy right were they are. Rutgers, Mortgage lifter, Brandy Wine, San Marzano, and Sun Sugar. I also have two Yummy peppers I am trying this year.

1 Thing
by Thrill
posted Oct 17 2012 5:37PM
Would you spend ANY money on a 20- year- old gallon of barbeque sauce? How about $10,000 on a 20- year- old gallon of barbeque sauce? Well, back in the 90's, McDonald's introduced the McJordan... a burger named after Michael Jordan... which was topped with "McJordan" barbeque sauce. For reasons we can't explain, someone still had a jug of the stuff and they put it up for sale on eBay. For other reasons we can't explain, someone spent $9995 for it. If you think that's stupid (you're not alone) we have a list of the top 10 things the federal government wasted your tax dollars on, including robot squirrels, a study on Gaydar (seriously) and pottery classes for Moroccan residents. You can't make this stuff up. Anyway, anonymous eBay bidders and the feds aren't the only folks to make terrible decisions with $$$. We all have wasted money on something that seemed like a good idea at the time and occasionally, we actually spent money on something that benefitted us. WHAT WAS YOUR BIGGEST WASTE OF MONEY OR YOUR BEST INVESTMENT?
Spent a lot of money on stuff like Pokemon and Magic: The Gathering... initially regretted it, but after selling it on eBay, it's all good
Has spent thousands of dollars on Legos... for himself. No regrets
Says that graduate school was a huge waste of money. I don't doubt it
Best investment was his house and his guns, his worst investment was his ex- wife. I think he should say that his WIFE was a waste of money.... making her an ex was worth it
$7000 for his wife's breast reduction (she went from a 36 TRIPLE D to a 36 D)... not happy about it (for the obvious reason) but bought a bunch of gold for $200 ounce in the 80's... he's up about $20,000 on the gold
Spent $60,000 on his wedding, but is now divorced. On the other hand, he bought a superman comic at a garage sale as a kid for $5... it's worth about $10,000 now, or 1 6th of his wedding
Spent $3500 on Nike's "Back to the Future" tennis shoes... sold them for $5000 later that day
Spent $2000 for pieces to build his own guitar, now he's going into business doing it. Might have to look this guy up
Spent $1700 on a new mountain bike... stolen the next day. He got about 10 miles of riding on it
$10,000 to get married, $15,000 to get divorced
Worst investment was his house because bought when a lot of us did- right before the recession. I got killed on my house too.
OK bitches, I'm outta here. New Originals practice tonight, and if you've ever seen us, you we need the practice. We'll be playing with Queensryche on October 27th at Snoqualmie Casino. Hope to see you there. Should be fun.
Until tomorrow, touch it but don't grab and STAY BEAUTIFUL!"

I was just elected mayor of Whogivesafuckingfuckville
I just want to live in a haunted castle with a secret garden. Is that really too much to ask?
I'm ready to have a really hot threesome with my book and bed on this Friday night
I just had a fresh hot orgasm from the smell of fresh hot coffee!
How many ways can you turn a heart inside out using only written words
I am exuding erotic melancholy today...
"You don't have to be perfect just try not to be stupid" is what I tell myself but it doesn't always help
I dreamt we frolicked naked among the butter sculptures at the state fair
Am I supposed to be doing something important?
I have this terrible habit of not being a wealthy divorcee.
If any of you guys ever need anything, and I do mean anything...no
Sorry I'm such an adorable bitch.
Valentine's Day gift idea: a boquet of breakfast burritos
Wednesday is cancelled. Everyone can go back to bed
I have a feeling something is missing this Sunday morning. I have a craving or a yearning or a hunger for something, maybe it's tater tots.
Of course there are no stupid questions. Why would you even ask me that? Moron.
Orgiastic dissipation
Who delivers decent mac and cheese before 7am in Texas? PM me with the info, thanks.
Desperate to know men's opinions on boobs, I joined lush. Boobs. That's why we're all here, isn't it?
Fall back! Unless you're drunk. Stumble around and fall forward flat on your face or something.
My bastarding bed doesn't want to sleep with me.
I'm sleepy and I want to be spooned by the night breeze, its fingers in my hair.
excessively avoiding moderation
funny how hearts are just the right size to fit in a person's hand. so squeezable.
YOU GUYS ARE SO GREAT I CAN'T HANDLE IT OK sorry for yelling.
I wish cum tasted like the cream cheese frosting that's on my breakfast cupcake. What?
it's cold here. come take my clothes off and warm me up.
Why yes, I am cute & sweet. In a 'you should sleep with one eye open' kind of way.
I would like some coffee, toast, and my panties pulled to the side this morning, please.
Baking cookies with lots of raisins in them for my enemies.

Wohler Builds on Recent R&D Expansion, Names Jeff McNall Manager of National Sales and Market Development
HAYWARD, Calif. â Feb. 17, 2009 â Wohler Technologies Inc. today announced the appointment of Jeff McNall as manager of national sales and market development. In his new position with Wohler, McNall will liaise with the company's engineering and sales teams and work along with its customers to develop specific solutions to their needs, not just in the broadcast realm, but also in the broad range of markets looking to take greater advantage of smart media technologies.
"Over an impressive career to date, Jeff has worked with many of the industry's leading companies, helping to identify and address both their technical and practical needs," said Kim Templeman-Holmes, VP of global sales and marketing at Wohler. "As we expand our sales and product development efforts, Jeff's skill in guiding delivery of the right solutions to the right clients â from concept through to product â will be key to our continued growth. We are confident that his experience in sales, marketing, technical operations, and product development will further our tradition of providing solid audio and video monitoring solutions."
Prior to joining Wohler, McNall spent 25 years in the broadcast television industry. His responsibilities included marketing activities for remote monitoring solutions with Sony® Electronics, operations at major market television stations, engineering in live sports production, and technical operations coordination for the Olympics. His most recent work was with Dolby®, where he successfully launched Dolby 3D into more than 500 movie theatres around the world. McNall graduated from San Francisco State University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in radio and television.
"Wohler has a long history of getting feet on the ground and figuring out how to provide clients with the tools and functionality they need," said McNall. "The company builds solid products with great technology, and I look forward to bringing their value not only to users in the broadcast realm, but also in other sectors as we extend awareness and adoption in corporate, worship, government, entertainment, and other facilities."
While the appointment of McNall further strengthens the company's sales and market development efforts, two new R&D appointments enhance Wohler's ability to design and deliver convenient and cost-effective monitoring solutions to its clients. Andrew Hutton has joined the company as FPGA hardware designer and will work primarily on hardware and firmware design. Heading up the TSG (Technical Services Group) department Mark Handa will serve as the liaison between Wohler's engineering/manufacturing departments and customer service.

The Governor's Highway Safety Program reports 88.6 percent of state residents buckled up in their 2013 survey… up 1.1 percent from 2012. Counties with the highest seat belt usage were Caldwell and Catawba at 93.8 percent while Robeson County was the lowest at 82.2. The biggest one year improvement was in Columbus County, up to 90.7 percent usage from 77.9 in 2012. Women buckled up more than men by about 5 points while drivers ages 16-24 were least likely to use their seat belt.
House Bill 937 signed into law by Gov. Pat McCrory in late July amended state firearm laws, including provisions for guns on campuses. The bill will allow persons with concealed carry handgun permits to bring guns on school campuses. That includes events on campus, such as concerts or football games. A press release from East Carolina University notes firearms on campus must be in a locked container attached to a vehicle. A gun in a glove box of a locked vehicle would be compliant, but a gun visible in a locked vehicle would not.

An analysis by Triple A Carolinas lists Pitt County as the most dangerous county in the state for vehicle collisions for the fifth year running. Last year Pitt County had 4633 traffic crashes which worked out to about 307 crashes per 100 million vehicle miles traveled… a rate about 50% higher than the state average of just below 205. Pitt County also was listed 2nd only behind Graham County for the rate of injuries sustained in crashes. TripleA Carolinas president and CEO David E. Parsons said consistently high ranking should be a wake-up call for better traffic enforcement or road design.
The Nature Conservancy announced the acquisition of 459 acres in Pender County. Half of the purchase price will come from the U-S Navy as the protected area will help buffer Camp Lejeune firing ranges from development. The Conservancy plans to restore a long-leaf pine forest to the area in order to expand habitat for the federally endangered red-cockaded woodpecker. The land also has some historical significance.

'World changing' medical school coming to Urbana
Chancellor Phyllis M. Wise makes a point to trustees during the March 12 board meeting in Urbana. The board would later accept a recommendation from President Bob Easter giving Wise permission to proceed with the creation of a new campus medical school -- a faculty-driven idea she started championing more than a year ago. The new engineering-intensive school will be created through a $100 million partnership with Carle Health System. Its financial plan excludes state tax revenue.

soft paws for cats?
Anyone try Soft Paws for cats? Was just trying to see if anyone has an opinion. Thanks.
I used them on the rear paws of my boy cat when he had a skin problems and was scratching himself raw. They worked very well and were easy to put on. He was 14 at the time, and never having had anything like that on him, I thought he might react negatively- but he didn't even seem to notice he had them on.
They come in great colors, but as I was warned, it's best to start with the clear ones because you can see what you are doing a little better (especially the amount of glue you are using).
The other warnings I've heard are about possible infections growing beneath them, and also that some cats don't shed their claw sheaths as frequently as they should, so you should check the cat's feet regularly and make sure everything is safe and sound.
I've applied them to many a cat for many reasons, and the cats seem to tolerate them well for the most part. Some cats are like me and can't keep anything on their nails for a long time. Other cats keep them on all month. I've saved a few cats from being declawed with Soft Paws, so they are definitely wonderful in my book. I HATE chopping off toes.
I also highly recommend them! It's the only thing that really works to save your furniture from being destroyed.
My cats were not as cooperative and compliant, however. It worked best to apply them in a small room (bathroom) with limited escape routes!

Q and A: Putting together a day of prayer
At lunchtime Thursday, a group of Farmington residents will gather at Rambling River Park to offer up prayers. The annual National Day of Prayer event is an opportunity to create unity among people of all religions, and to celebrate community. We talked with Ann Manthey, one of the event's coordinators, to find out what people can expect if they show up.
To start with, why don't you tell me a little bit about National Day of Prayer?
