What are the Consequences of Leaving Lights on 24/7
My seedlings are just shy of 3 weeks old. Almost all have their first true leaves and several have their second true leaves. I have a 2 bulb t12 set up and I leave the lights on all the time. I turn a fan on them a few hours a day and they seem to be doing well. I have heard you shouldn't leave the lights on all the time like I'm doing and I wonder why not?
Does anyone know what will happen to seedlings if they are under the lights full time?
From what i've read plants need a nighttime (ie: rest cycle)
Think of trying to be awake and active 24/7! LOL ...sure
it could be done for awhile but eventually your productivity
level is gonna drop off (same thing with a plant but not
nearly as extreme ofcourse)
Basically at some point with 24/7 lighting you will be just
wasting electricity...even if you just give a few hours
of 'night' it'd be better
If you're just using the lights for producing starts for the garden, it will be fine. In fact, it will produce larger, sturdier plants. If you're planning on growing the plants to maturity under the lights, that's a different story and I'll let someone who grows them under lights answer.
This was posted by AlabamaJack in the Hot Pepper Forum. It was from a research experiment.
For tomato, best growth and yield were obtained under a photoperiod of 14 hours (Vina et al., 1991; Demers et al., 1998b). Photoperiods longer than 14 h did not further increase yield. Photoperiods of 20 and 24 h can even decrease yield and caused leaf chlorosis (after 6 to 8 weeks) (Vézina et al., 1991; Demers et al., 1998b). Although long term use of a 17-h photoperiod does not increase growth and yield compared to 14 h, it might be interesting to extend the photoperiod to 17 h in order to increase total light provided to plants especially during the months with the lowest natural light levels (December-January). However, if a 17-h photoperiod is used, it is important that the dark period be uninterrupted, since splitting the dark period of 7 h in two short nights of 3.5 h (separated by a light period of 4 h) caused leaf chlorosis and decreased growth and yield (Vézina et al., 1991).
For sweet pepper, a 20 h-photoperiod was optimal for plant growth and productivity (Demers et al., 1998a). Yield under continuous light (24-h photoperiod) was equivalent to yield under photoperiods of 15 or 16 h (Costes et al., 1970; Demers et al., 1998a). Extension of the photoperiod from 15 or 16 h to 24 h decreased the average size of pepper fruits (Costes et al., 1970; Demers et al., 1998a).
Continuous light caused some leaf deformities (wrinkles) but no chlorosis in sweet pepper grown in greenhouses. Although long term use of continuous light is detrimental to tomato and pepper plants, tomato and sweet pepper plants can take advantage of the extra light energy provided by continuous lighting for a short period of time. Early vegetative growth and fruit production of tomato and pepper plants were generally improved under continuous light compared the 14-h photoperiod (Demers et al., 1998a, 1998b). However, after that initial period, plants under continuous light grew more slowly than plants exposed to 14-h photoperiod; so that tomato and pepper plant growth and yield under 14-h photoperiod were then equal to or higher than under continuous light at the end of the experiment.
Costes et al. (1970) also observed that continuous light improved the early performance (hastening of flowering and fruit set, increased early yield) of sweet pepper plants compared to a 15-h photoperiod. Therefore, it might be possible to use continuous light for a short period of time (5 to 7 weeks) to improve growth of tomato and sweet pepper, especially during the months with the lowest natural light levels (December and January). However, such a practice should be investigated in order to determine if short term use of continuous light might have residual negative effects on tomato and sweet pepper plants.
Tomato and sweet pepper plants do not take advantage (no increase in yield) when grown under photoperiods longer than 14 h (tomato) or 20 h (pepper). Tomato plants, but not sweet pepper, develop leaf chlorosis under continuous light. In the next sections, we will examine the role of the carbon metabolism, pigments, light spectral quality and day/night temperature differential in the development of these negative effects of long photoperiods.
Carbon Metabolism
High starch and soluble sugar accumulations were observed in leaves of tomato plants grown under long photoperiods, and it was suggested that these accumulations could be related to the development of the leaf chlorosis (Bradley et al., 1985; Logendra et al., 1990; Dorais, 1992).
Studies on other species support the hypothesis of a relationship between leaf chlorosis development and starch and sugar accumulations. For example, continuous light caused increased leaf starch and hexose accumulations and leaf chlorosis of eggplants (Solanum melongena L.) (Murage et al., 1996). However, eggplants growing under continuous light but in a CO2-free atmosphere for 12 h per day accumulated less starch and hexoses, and did not develop leaf chlorosis.
Exposure of tomato and sweet pepper plants to continuous light resulted in increased foliar contents in starch in tomato and sweet pepper, in hexoses (glucose and fructose) in tomato and sucrose in sweet pepper (Dorais et al., 1996; Demers et al., 1998a, 1998b). However, the reduction of the number of fruits on the plants did not modify the pattern of accumulation of starch and sugars in leaves of tomato and sweet pepper plants exposed to photoperiods of 14 and 24 h (Demers et al., 1998a, 1998b). Moreover, the reduction of the number of fruits on the plants did not influence the severity nor the date of appearance of the foliar chlorosis in tomato plants grown under continuous light. This indicates that accumulations of starch and soluble sugars are not caused by a limiting sink capacity. If there is a relationship between the excessive starch and soluble sugar accumulations and the development of the negative effects (leaf chlorosis, decreased growth and productivity) of the long photoperiods on tomato and sweet pepper, it is most likely a limitation of the carbon metabolism at the leaf level which is responsible for these accumulations.
In tomato, the use of continuous light caused, in addition to the foliar chlorosis and increased foliar contents in starch and hexoses, a reduction of the photosynthesis rate and of the activity of the sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS) enzyme (Demers, 1998). These reductions in photosynthesis and of SPS activity occurred between 6th and 8th week
under continuous light, i.e. about at the same time as the foliar chlorosis appeared, while starch and hexoses contents in leaves increased during the first 4 weeks of the experiment.
Since the reduction of the SPS activity occurred after the increase in starch and hexoses, it is thus impossible that the reduction of the SPS activity is responsible for these accumulations. However, it is possible that the SPS activity in vivo is limiting, which would explain the hexose increase. This suggests the limiting step of the export of photosynthates is the synthesis of sucrose in tomato and would explain the absence of growth and the productivity increase under continuous light. Furthermore, the increased hexose levels in the cytoplasm, by a feedback effect, would limit the export of the triosephosphate (photosynthesis products) out of the chloroplast, which would then be redirected towards starch synthesis, thus explaining the increased starch contents.
Moreover, the increased accumulation of starch would generate, by a feedback effect, an overload of the Calvin cycle, which would gradually cause the observed decrease of the CO2 fixation rate. Are the starch accumulations responsible for the leaf chlorosis in tomato? It is possible that the overload imposed on the Calvin cycle (decreased photosynthesis) could limit the use of the reducing potential (ATP, NADPH) produced by the luminous phase of photosynthesis, thus causing an overload on the electron transport chain and the photo-oxidation of the chlorophylls (decrease in the leaf chlorophyll contents), and thus explaining the observed leaf foliar chlorosis. Transgenic tomato plants (in which a gene coding for the SPS enzyme was incorporated and overexpress this enzyme) could be used in future studies to test if accumulations of starch in leaves are responsible for the development of chlorosis observed in tomato plants exposed to continuous light. Transgenic tomato plants (overexpressing SPS) have higher photosynthesis rates and accumulate less starch and more sucrose than non-transformed
plants, especially under conditions of saturating light and CO2 (Galtier et al., 1993, 1995; Micallef et al., 1995). One can put forth the assumption that, under continuous light, leaf starch contents would be lower in transgenic plants than in normal plants. If this is the case, the reduction of the leaf starch content in transgenic plants should thus prevent the development of the leaf chlorosis, or at least decrease its severity.
In sweet pepper, the use of continuous light caused an increase in the leaf starch and sucrose contents, but did not affect leaf hexose contents, photosynthesis rates and SPS activity (Demers, 1998). The increased foliar contents in sucrose indicate that SPS activity in sweet pepper is not limiting as in tomato. Increased accumulation of starch in
sweet pepper plants exposed to continuous light would be explained by the fact that continuous light results in a longer period of time over which starch synthesis occur, but without overloading the starch synthesis pathway. Thus, starch accumulation in sweet pepper under continuous light would not be important enough to cause a reduction in CO2 fixation (no overload of the Calvin cycle). Increased leaf contents in sucrose suggest that sucrose export would be possibly limiting. In sweet pepper plants, the export rate of carbon (as sucrose) out of the leaf is constant, and the export rate would be limited at the level of the loading of sucrose in the phloem (Grange, 1985, 1987). This would explain why the growth and the productivity of the sweet pepper plants do not increase under continuous light.
In growth chambers, continuous light caused leaf chlorosis, decreased photosynthesis rates, and reductions in leaf contents in pigments (chlorophyll a and b,
carotene, xanthophylls) in both tomato and sweet pepper plants (Demers, 1998). Leaf chlorosis, decreased photosynthesis rates and loss of pigments were more important and occurred earlier in tomato plants than in sweet pepper. Compared to sweet pepper plants, EPS ratio (epoxidation state of the pigments of the xanthophyll cycle) was lower in tomato, indicating a greater need for energy dissipation and a more important state of stress (caused by excessive light). Pigments such as carotene and xanthophylls (violaxanthin, antheraxanthin, zeaxanthin) play a significant role in the protection of the photosynthetic apparatus against damage that could be caused by an excess of light.
Carotene and xanthophyll levels were higher in sweet pepper plants than in tomato. Thus, sweet pepper has a better protection against the degradation of chlorophylls, which would explain why leaf chlorosis appeared later and were less severe in sweet pepper.

Leaving lights on 24/7 is OK and perhaps beneficial (not counting the cost of electricity) for no more than seven and maybe as few as five weeks and after that it is detrimental.
Consider that some impressive vegetable may be grown in Alaska. In 2007:
23-foot, 3 1/2-inch corn stalk
4.702-pound parsnip
1,019-pound pumpkin
17.195-pound yellow zucchini
67 1/8-inch long gourd
55.15-pound blue Hubbard squash
21.530-pound bushel gourd
They have a separate category for cabbage which they seem to be most proud.
Where most of these were grown they are getting about 19hrs of daylight at the end of June.
Yeah, I know. I posted the original link and AJ downloaded the entire report!
For 5-7 weeks, continuous lighting appears to help production. My hope is to try an experiment this spring using an early producer plant. Four rooms, light running 13, 17, 21 and 24 hours per day, two plants per room, all growing hydroponically. I'm curious since I want to try to raise greenhouse toms this fall, winter and spring.
I'm trying the same experiment right now. I have an extra shelf this year because I added it for overflow. Each shelf has 10 40w T12 bulbs and holds 4 trays. I put an extra tray of lettuce, broccoli, and peppers on a shelf that I only keep on 16 hours per day. The other shelfs I leave on for 24 hours. The peppers are the only real question regarding the study. The others will be under the lights much less than 10 weeks (I start my peppers for 10 weeks indoors). They were all started on Feb 1st. So far, here are my results:
1. Lettuce doesn't care. Both trays look the same.
2. The broccoli that is under 24/7 lighting looks much better and is ready for the garden in 4 weeks.
3. The peppers under 24/7 are much larger and stronger looking. The 16 hour peppers are about half the size as the 24/7 ones (3 sets of true leaves as opposed to 1). I'll see how they end up but so far 24/7 looks like the real winner.
I didn't follow your approach but it makes sense for just starting. I can get some pictures if you're interested.
Hey Mike,
Here is a picture of the 24/7 pepper tray.
Here is the 16/7 Pepper tray.
The 24/7 tray is fuller and stockier. The 16/7 tray actually has the tallest plant but it's not as stout as the ones in the 24/7 tray. I do plan to go the full 10 weeks this way and see if I can tell a difference in the yield this summer.
Any update?
Just to confuse the issue a bit, I have a tomato plant in a window at the office. It gets direct light for maybe six hours a day and ambient light for another six hours or so. In just over four weeks it has grown from four inches to over 20" and now has six or seven blooms on it.
>> Wordwiz, is that getting moved outside? I'd do it quick before those blossoms get too big. You'll miss the initial growth phase that happens after transplant. Nah, it's going to live out its life in that bucket of water on that shelf.
My hope is to get 25 pounds of tomatoes from it.
I suspect you will need to switch it to a 12/12 cycle after vegative stage/once maturity is reached. this is recommended for many plants grown under lights to start the fruiting stage.
failure to do so could produce little to no yield and i feel this will happen in tomatoes from memory.
I myself am also growing tomatoes under lights. It's going great for the new plant i just started. but unlike yours i will try the 12/12 stage when it is mature and will post my results so we can compare so more data aswell.
I have never intended to stay on 24 hours of light forever on these plants. These are starts that will go out to the garden. The question (I am/we are) trying to answer is whether 24/7 produces better starts than 16 hours of light. My contention is that 24 hours is better for starts using fluoresent lights especially considering that the amount of light is very small compared to the sun. Others have argued that they need a rest period each night, especially after week 7.
Yes, it's been a little over 8 weeks (since Feb 1). I'm a little surprised as well. I noticed a large slow down in the 16 hour seedlings and didn't see the same in the 24 hour ones in the last couple weeks. Actually, the 24 hour seedlings have gotten so large that I expect to see a slowdown because they are shading each other too much now. Out of the two trays I'd say the 24 hour are on average about 2" taller than the 16 hour ones. Hopefully, they will be going into the garden in 2-3 weeks, depending on the weather.
You posted: "Actually, the 24 hour seedlings have gotten so large that I expect to see a slowdown because they are shading each other too much now."
If they slow down because they are shading each other then the benefits of 24/7 lighting might not be as apparent. The only drawback is you would not have as many plants to compare.
I'll move a few of the 24/7 seedlings to the 16 hour shelf. Then I'll space out some of the 24/7 seedlings. Unfortunately, I will only be able to do it for a few since I don't have much room on either shelf. Thanks for the suggestion.
Very interesting experiment. One question; are the 16hr peppers in complete darkness for 8 hours or do they see some weak light from the other lamps? My technique has been 24/0 from seed, and sometimes 18/6 for a while before they go outside. My main motivation for the 6 hour dark period is to save some power and keep temps below 85 in the heat of the day.
I'll try to draw some conclusions on the ones that are now on the 16 hour shelf that were on the 24 hour shelf.
They don't get "complete" darkness during the dark period. The top shelf is the one that I went to 16 hours on so it's not much though. At least it's very inderect light that they might get.
Well, I just wanted to provide an update on the 24 hour experiment. All of the peppers are starting the hardening off process now so the indoor part of the experiment is over. They are now in a fairly sheltered place outside and will only be moved inside if temperatures drop below 38 degrees at night. I found a great way to harden them off last year. Since I have a large trailer that I use to move my tractor when needed I just put them all on the trailer and move the trailer to a place with more and more light until they are fully hardened off. Ok..the results.
The 24 hour peppers definitely look better. They look like they are a few weeks ahead of the 16 hour peppers. I'd say on average they are about 2" taller and have thicker stems. Some already are flowering and are probably past overdue to get in the garden. I'll mark them this summer and see if I can tell any difference in the yield or how fast they produce fruit. As expected there are some in the middle of the flats that were not getting enough light because they were pretty densely packed in 3" pots.
Overall, I'd have to say that 24 hour light is great for seedlings.
Can I ask at what height you had your lights? This is the first year that I have put it chains to adjust my lights. I can try to post a picture of my set up later. I have always used 24 hour light (due to laziness to get a timer) but this year with lowering the lights I have had better growth. Thing is, I started them in a "DOME" with plugs, quickly they out grew the dome and plugs, I moved to three inch pots, but left them in the dome for moisture sake. Thing is the "DOME" is large and the lights above needed to be the height of the dome, so now my Tomato's are looking a bit leggy. should I uncap the dome and lower my lights?
Again I will try to post a picture a bit later...
I appreciate any one's help and feedback.
I keep the lights 1 to 2 inches above the plants. Often the lights are touching the plants because they grow so fast. I do it by adjusting chains as well. I use a clear plastic cover until I get the first sprout in the tray and then take it off. I'm assuming thats what you mean by dome. Sounds like you should lower the lights ASAP.
Thanks.. Yes a certain seed company sells a Dome... that is what I use.
I have used the dome after sprouting becuase it helps with the moisture. I also use heat to start things off.
I probably started to late, but here in Michigan you never know when you can plant :) it snowed here last week, after 5 days of sun...
I will lower the lights today. I was thinking that they should not touch because they may burn but I will lower.
Very interesting, I recently read something about this somewhere else, and I heard from someone that Advanced Nutrients did a study that showed 24/7 lighting out-performed other schedules in plant growth.
But I think it makes a lot of difference what kind of plant you're talking about. If a plant is triggered to produce fruit based upon light cycle, too much light wouldn't necessarily be a good thing.
Plus you have to think about the electric bill. If you're not running very many or very big lights it might not make much difference, but if you've turned your home into a greenhouse it could cost a lot to run the lights all the time.
I'm very interested in seeing how those pepper plants turn out.
Sorry...bad explanation on my part. I'm starting cuttings in an outdoor shed where heat build-up is a concern during the day. I started cycling the lights on and off in 30 minute intervals during their 16 hour day...which effectively uses 1/2 the ammount of electricty while helping keep the propagation area cooler. There have been no adverse effects in shoot growth that I can see.
I'm suggesting there may be cost saving ways to achieve a 24hour light cycle that are worth a try.
24/7 Henry Kuska posted about this before. He floods his seedlings 24/7. I flood my rose cuttings 24/7. They grow nice and big, also if you are using fluorescent, the lamps last longer and have stronger output (even though this might be only marginal, it is still true) if they are on 24.7. Plus you maximize the output for your facility. Some people claim the plant needs to "rest", but this is not true, it only needs a dark period if it is photoperiodic, and for ourselves, we are
talking about VEGETATIVE phase, I assume. A PHOTOPERIODIC plant REQUIRES dark, in order for the flowering hormones (Pyr Pyfr) to mature and trigger flowering.
What Henry pointed out is that CYCLING OF TEMPERATURE can be important, when the lights are on 24/7, some plants do better if there is a cooling down time.
Truly amazing how good the 24/7 light plants look, definitely
a interesting experiment you did...thanks for posting &
keeping it updated!
I've always given the plants 12 hours of light per day when
starting seeds for the garden...they grow ok but maybe
thats not enough?
my houseplants get 10 hours (plus whatever sunlight comes
in through the north-facing window...which in the winter
is less than 10 hours)
I can definitely tell the difference. The 24/7 plants have almost all produced picking sized peppers already. I have a drawer full in the fridge. They are also putting on a second set of peppers that are about the same size as the 16 hour peppers. The only picking sized peppers from the 16 hour group are jalapenos and those are 42 picked from the 24/7 plants and 3 from the 16 hour plants. It looks like I'm going to get an extra crop from the 24/7 peppers. I think I have enough information to call the 24/7 peppers a big sucess.
New to the conversation...
Rick this experiment was interesting. You mentioned that the pepper plant was even ahead of your tomatoes...how much light did you give your tomatoes? Did you start them at the same time? I like to grow both peppers and tomatoes and I sure would like to be picking some in June next year. I am still waiting with only blooms so far.
Thanks for posting all of this and the pics!

Shawn Ann,
Your garden looks great! In upper zone 6 you're way ahead. I'm getting a couple of pounds of beans a day and a lot of peppers but that's about it for now. The cucumbers will be ready to start to pick in a couple of days and the tomatoes are just started. I picked the first Sungold today. We should have our first large tomato in about a week. We're also getting summer squash and zucchini. I don't think we have any watermellons forming yet. I'll have to check. The tomato plants were under 16 hour light this year. Next year they will be under 24 hour light but started a little later.
Congrats on the new little one.
I'm glad you schooled everyone in the benefits of 24/7. I personally run 24/7 on my roses, and the growth is absolutely phenomenal. The only reason to run a night cycle, is for (in my experience) to grow cuttings. When cuttings have no roots, they cannot make use of 24/7 illumination. using 16/8 cycle allows for a cooling period and a dark period which may be of benefit to INITIATE roots (not grow roots - roots grow all the time). Also, for cannabis, in vegetative phase, 24/7 is also the way to go for a much bigger and heavier harvest, and nicer smoke, with very nice strong high.
Thanks Rick! And I thought I was behind...guess it is all where you are at. I can't wait to experiment with the tomatoes and peppers next winter/spring. We'll see what happens.
Happy gardening!

Why why why. The picture indicates the plant with 24hr lighting is visibly larger, but a picture alone at this stage of growth is a somewhat poor indication of actual plant health. Just turn your lights off at night like everyone else and save electricity. FYI whoever thinks Alaska plants benefit from extended periods of daylight should think again, the extended light periods experienced during the summer season do not supply as many lumens as you might think.
I would like to see any updates. Interesting reading and what I've read and been told by several growers who have researched and experimented with 24 hour lighting. I had some I got started this year 7-10 days late. They have been under 24 hours lights for 11 days and have caught and starting to pass those 7-10 days older. I have them all under 24 hours lights now. From what I'm seeing the light bill won't be a lot difference because they are growing fast enough I will be able to move them to the cold frames and start hardening off sooner. If you had a greenhouse and wanted some growth before moving there it would work well also. I feel I will move them outside and turn the light shelves off 7-10 days earlier than normal. So the money I save there will offset some of the cost of keeping them on 24 hours straight. Again interested in all updates. Jay
The problem with how you tested 16/8 and 24/7 is that you are not using enough light.
At proper light levels & 24/7 lighting things will go badly. Sugars/energy will build up in the tops of the plant in a solid form and will not be mobile or usable to the plant. the amount of Fruit set will be lower and the quality will be much worse.
At the lower light levels it just so happends the 24/7 plants were just less abused than the 16/8 plants.
& depending on how well you set up the experiment could have made a big difference.... Did you light seal the room? ANY light over ~ 5lumens? that gets to the plants (at night time) the phytochrome a/b (what a plant uses to judge how much day or night time over the day it has had is instantly converted and the cycle must start again.
What's the current wisdom, is it ok to leave the lights on 24/7 for seedlings, or give them an irregular lighting cycle? I think the day/night cycle is more of an issue for full size flowering plants, or seedlings getting full sun, and it is perfectly fine for indoor seed starting to leave the grow lights on 24/7, correct?
The above picture shows the initial domed seed trays in November 2014. I commented elsewhere that I am growing hosta seedlings under fluorescent lights since middle of November 24 hrs each day. Some of my seedlings are shown in the Hosta Forum in the Seedlings thread. I will bring them outside in May. Common 4ft fuorescent lights were 1 inch above domes and are now 1 inch above tallest leaves of plants. All light gets reflected back to plants with aluminum foil covered cardboard, not shown yet above. I am doing this now the 4th year and have seen no problems. Another benefit is that the heat generated by the lights is enough to germinate under domes at 81 dgrs and grow the plants thereafter without domes at 71 dgrs in my 60 dgrs basement. I created enclosed growing chambers on my 2 shelves by enclosing above shelves with 2 walls (behind and right) and old towels (left and front). I no longer use my heating mat.

The United Football League begins play ON THURSDAY with the California Redwoods taking on the Las Vegas Locomotives in Vegas at UNLV's Sam Boyd Stadium. (Coincidentally where the XFL played its first game.)
(Obtaining Right To Witness Coaching Wizardry Of Fassel Not-So-Facile)
Seeing as I have Direct TV and the game is on Versus (so I'm screwed), I was actually thinking about trekking from L.A. out to Vegas to take in the game. So I logged onto the UFL's official site late Sunday night to look into buying tickets for the game.
I started by going to the official league site here. Then to the league's "tickets" page here. When you click on "tickets" for the first game listed, Vegas vs. California, you're transported to, for some reason, UNLVTICKETS.COM.
So we're three clicks in, and at UNLVTICKETS.COM I scroll down to the Las Vegas Locomotives text link on the site, and click "buy tickets", which sends me here.
Next I scroll down to "buy tickets" for the game this Thursday, taking me here.
So after five clicks I get my chance to select my seats. Or so it seems.
I then enter "2″ for "best available" and I'm taken to the obligatory captcha page here.
Six clicks now … and I'm so, SO close to finally getting my precious seats.
After filling out the relatively obvious captcha number-letter combo, I get this message: "Delivery Method is invalid. If you want to try again, click here."
Okay, my bad, maybe I misread the letters and numbers. So I start over and fill out the form again, along with the captcha.
Same resulting message: "Delivery Method is invalid. If you want to try again, click here."
I try again, and again. AND AGAIN. Five times. No luck.
I even closed Mozilla Firefox browser and tried the process in Internet Explorer and got the same error message.
Finally, I tried to buy tix to another event on the site, just to make sure the Ancient Age I ingested courtesy a Cal coed before the SC game Saturday night had worn off, and sure enough, I was able to buy Lakers preseason game tix at Thomas & Mack on the same site.
So we're four day aways from kickoff of the UFL's first-ever game and … you know the rest.
Ironically (coincidentally?), there's a large Stubhub.com ad on the UFL's official site. For the game in question on Stubhub, there are plenty of available tickets, including a $45 seat in the front row of Section 107. That's the 50 yard line.
(Tix only available in limited number of sections? Hmmm.)
It's also interesting to note that the tickets on Stubhub for the game are only available in the three best sections - at midfield on both sides. Does that mean that the majority of the stadium is sold out, reserved for the non-Stubhub-buying public or will it be closed off? Hmmm.
I have an email in to the folks at the UFL about the whole thing.
I still haven't decided if I'll take a Southwest hop out for the game. One really wonders though with the online ticket situation I experienced if the game will indeed go off as planned.

Hi, I'm Matt, I'm originally from Australia, but I also Live in Bridgewater Place, in fact I live on the exact same floor as this apartment, so if you need my assistance you don't have far to go :)
Matt has completed online and offline ID verification.

The appartment was very good indeed, it is close to all amenities. The only disappointment was no packing facilities, it cost us 17 pounds a day to park. Not happy
Matt was not there but arranged everything perfectly. His place was in perfect condition and we had nice contact on phone and text message. I highly recommend Matt's place.
The reservation was canceled the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
I was Matt's first guess on airbnb, I was looking for a very central place in Leeds and I found it, Matt's apartment is 5 minutes walk from the train station. There is a Starbucks and a Tesco express downstairs, excellent to grab an early or late snack.
The apartment is in very good condition and Matt is planning in adding some extra features. The apartment also offers a good view of the city.
Matt's place is a great place to enjoy the city of Leeds, I think I made the right choice.
Great guests who took excellent care of the apartment.
Matt used to be my flat mate while he was living in Leeds. He now owns a beautiful modern apartment on the same floor. He's a very friendly and sociable Aussie, who's generally clean, organised and easy to get along with.

Halfway through Rachel Basch's third novel, The Listener, the reader gets the feeling that the title is ironic. Malcolm Dowd is a psychotherapist at the college in his town. His job is to listen; no doubt his skill at listening has saved the sanity or even the lives of the sad people who unburden themselves in his office. But when it comes to his own loved ones, Malcolm Dowd is about as deaf as a stump.
It's a glad thing when a reader encounters a character so compelling that you want to punch him in the nose. Such abhorrence—it's not really hatred—can be as pleasurable in its own way as love. Such is the aggravation caused by Jonas Karlsson's weird, insufferably arrogant, not quite neuro-normal protagonist in the crisp, novella-length book The Room.
Someone is setting fire to the houses of Pomeroy, New Hampshire, in Sue Miller's latest novel, but that's beside the point. The important thing is that Francesca "Frankie" Rowley has returned from a long sojourn in Africa as an aid worker and she doesn't know what to do with herself. Besides, the thing that lights her fire is Bud Jacobs, the local newspaper editor whose life is just as up in the air as hers is. The two launch a passionate affair even as everyone else's summer home is being torched.
In Richard Power's latest novel, Orfeo, the last great problem for Peter Els begins when his old, beloved dog kicks the bucket. The poor dog's death is messy—killed by his ex-wife, in his amateur biology lab. It's present-day America, and a layperson messing with Petri dishes of weird bacteria is a no-no. Before Els knows it, men in hazmat suits come and confiscate some of his stuff. He goes out for his morning run, and when he comes back folks from what looks like Homeland Security have come to confiscate the rest of it. In response, Els does what he's been doing most of his life—he runs.

By Newyorkrita, April 1, 2015
Maybe you are looking for something different from the usual early spring blooms of crocus. Try the lovely bright blue blooms of Scilla sardensis.
Little Bulbs in the Garden
The bulb catalogs have started arriving! And what a smart move, as we're all seeing those heralds of spring popping up with the melting of the snow. Usually, it's the big, bold blossoms that catch our eyes; the Tulips, Daffodils, and Hyacinths are what most of us think of when we think of spring bulbs. But don't overlook the diminutive little guys that, when planted thoughtfully, can provide stunning visual impact.
How Deep for Bulbs?
You don't need to remember a lot of different rules to know how deep to plant your fall bulbs.
Share Your Spring Blooming Bulb Photos!
Do you have spring blooming bulbs in your garden or around your town this week? Share photos of them in the plant database, and enjoy looking at those posted by other members. At the end of the week, I will give a report of the most thumbed images and it'll be awesome.

Lovely plant, profuse bloomer and re-seeder. If you had one last year that bloomed, they will come back in bunches so long as the soil is not turned over. Sprouts from the topsoil. If they flowered last year for you for any length of time you will have them the following year.

Your Green Bay Packers: Telling It Like It Is
Feb 5th
Posted by Monty McMahon in Super Bowl XLV
It's come to my attention the Black Eyed Peas will be performing during the Super Bowl XLV halftime show, which makes me throw up in my mouth a little. If there were ever a bigger group of sellouts, I'm not aware of them and I don't use that term lightly. You see, I used to […]

The D-Link MediaLounge DSM-520 digital media receiver is a follow-up to the company's DSM-320, which was released in early 2005. Both models wirelessly stream video, image, and audio files from a PC to a home-theater system, but unlike its standard-def predecessor, the DSM-520 is capable of streaming HD video and photos. Notably, the DSM-520 also has impressive audio functionality, including support for DRM-protected WMA files purchased from Internet music stores such as Napster and Musicmatch. What's more, the unit works with Rhapsody's premium audio-streaming service, giving you instant, on-demand access to a vast catalog of music. And to top it off, the DSM-520's ($249) broad assortment of features is complemented by considerably better wireless performance than we experienced with the older DSM-320. Measuring 1.5 by 11.25 by 16.75 inches, the D-Link MediaLounge DSM-520's component design makes for a decent aesthetic match with home-theater systems. Because the slim, mirrored front panel doesn't have a display or any controls besides a power button, you'll have to rely exclusively on the DSM-520's remote control and a connected TV for navigation.
The midsize, 45-button remote control is laid out intuitively and has shortcut keys that facilitate easy media-library navigation. The remote's four-way keypad and center-mounted Enter button handle the brunt of the work for navigating media file categories, directory levels, and track lists, while music, photo, and video shortcut buttons let you skip straight to a particular file category. Page-up and page-down buttons expedite wading through long track lists; the device has a search function, but it's clunky. Conveniently, the remote comes with volume controls. The TV-based interface is uncluttered, and its logical structure helps navigation flow naturally for the most part. Unlike some digital media receivers, the DSM-520 allows you to fire up music and an accompanying photo slide show without wading through configuration screens.
Setup is easy as far as networked media devices go. From the included CD-ROM, you install D-Link Media Server; select the video, image, and audio file types you want to make accessible for playback via the DSM-520; point the software to the PC directories where your media files are stored; and wait while the software scours your hard drive. The application took around five minutes to index approximately 1,800 media files located on our PC's hard drive. After connecting the DSM-520 to your A/V receiver and TV, you power on and follow simple prompts to connect the device to your network. Beginners can use Windows Connect Now to transfer their PC's wireless network settings to the DSM-520 via a USB thumbdrive, obviating the need for manual configuration. For wireless networks, the DSM-520 supports 64- and 128-bit WEP encryption but not WPA encryption. Right off the bat, we were prompted to download new firmware, which took only a couple minutes to complete its installation.The D-Link MediaLounge DSM-520 offers broader range of support for video-, image-, and audio-file formats than most digital media receivers, and it works with multiple online content services. Compatible video files include MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, XviD, MPEG- 4 AVI, and WMV9 (DRM protected and nonprotected) but not earlier WMV versions. Although not officially supported, DivX and DivX HD files are acceptable too. Unlike the competing Acoustic Research Digital MediaBridge, the DSM-520 doesn't support DVD menus for virtual DVDs stored on your computer's hard drive. It did play individual VOB files but with mixed results. The DSM-520 supports resolutions of up to 1080i for MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 files and 720p for WMV HD files. Still-image support (digital photos) is also better than average; JPEG (grayscale, RGB, and YCbCy only), BMP (noncompressed), PNG, TIFF (RGB only), and GIF image files can all be streamed. Almost any size photo will work, but the DSM-520 will display them at its maximum resolution of 720x480 pixels, or the same as a standard DVD. The DSM-520 has 4:3 and 16:9 aspect-ratio modes to accommodate standard and wide-screen displays.
Turning to audio, the DSM-520 plays noncompressed WAVs and AIFFs in addition to compressed MP3, WMA (DRM protected and nonprotected), and OGG audio files. Like every non-Apple digital audio receiver to date, the DSM-520 can play neither protected AAC files purchased from the iTunes Music Store, nor nonprotected AACs. To play DRM-protected Windows Media files, your PC must run Windows Media Connect. The unit is compatible with PC-based M3U and PLS playlists, and it's capable of passing a 5.1-channel audio signal through its digital outputs to your A/V receiver for surround sound.
A $9.95-per-month Rhapsody subscription will allow you to stream music on demand from the premium service's vast catalog to the DSM-520 and your home stereo system. Using the DSM-520's remote, you can easily navigate your entire Rhapsody library and fire up playback of Rhapsody radio-style stations and custom playlists. Other compatible online offerings include subscription-based Radio@aol as well as Live365, which provides free and subscription-based memberships. Each features extensive programming, but it's worth noting that the DSM-520 can't stream Radio@aol's assortment of XM stations, which are available to the service's PC-based users.

Urban spelunking: District 2/The Jefferson School
I've been in Best Place before – with its intimate courtyard and stunning beer hall. I was even in there a few times when it was the visitor's center for the then-still-operating Pabst Brewery.
It's gorgeous, thanks to a well-preserved mid-century renovation that recreated a medieval German beer hall. Recently I learned a bit more about the building's history.
Being an old schools geek, I was happy to learn that Best Place's building on the corner of 9th and Juneau, which was previously a Pabst building, was – even earlier – the District 2 School, also called The Jefferson School.
Since so much of why we love a bar is because of its location, its atmosphere, its history, Best Place – located in the former Pabst Brewery – just might be my new favorite bar.
Built in 1858, the school was closed and replaced with a new building, designed by Edward Townsend Mix, on nearby 10th Street and Highland Avenue in 1889. That same year, MPS sold The Jefferson School to Pabst, which removed the pediments and cornice and replaced them with castle-like crenelations and replaced the belfry with a taller crenelated tower so that the building would match the architectural style of the rest of the brewery's buildings.
Pabst reopened the renovated building as its new offices in 1890. Ironically, The Jefferson School has long since outlived its replacement, which was torn down to create the parking lot for the current MPS Facilities and Maintenance Building.
If you view the Best Place building today, it's quite clearly the same structure, despite some bricked up windows, those other changes and more than a century's work of gunk darkening the bricks.
In the front corners, for instance, you can still see the ornamental stone work, though you have to go into the courtyard to see the northeast corner.
Yesterday, owner Jim Haertel agreed to give me a tour of the interior, though he warned me in advance there didn't appear to be any signs of its former incarnation as a school.
As we walked through, I was pleased to see Haertel went back a bit on that. Though it's often hard to tell what dates back to the school days, there is wainscoting throughout, along with window trim that looks a lot like similar details in old schools.
The pressed tin ceilings and the cast iron pillars don't necessarily shout "schoolhouse," but they look original and, in the case of the ceilings, they were covered up later and have since been revealed.
Some rooms have hardwood floors that are clearly original, while at least one has what appears to be a laminate floor laid over the top. The staircases are wider than one would expect in a small office building and are most definitely original.
Behind drywall, there are interior walls that are wainscoted and lined along the top length of the wall with transom windows that likely helped light the double-loaded corridor that appear to have had, at most, a single window on one end.
Haertel says that up in the attic, there is a roof below the current roof and comparing photos we can see that the current roofline is higher than the original one, which explains it.
After Pabst bought the building, it opened the back (west) wall to connect the former school to an adjacent Pabst structure erected in 1880. But, even inside, it's pretty obvious where one building ends and the next one begins.
Down in the basement that's even easier to see. Descending the steps, we realize that we're at the back of the original part of the school, which had an addition put on at some point. On the wall next to the staircase we can see some former basement windows and a change in the foundation construction.
The addition is also obvious at the roof line. The original section has a peak running east-west, while the apparent addition's peak runs perpendicular.
While the main floor at Best Place is in terrific condition, the floors above require a lot of work. Haertel has plans, but he knows that it will take a lot of energy and money to make them happen. I hope they do happen and I hope he's able to work the old school details into the new design, to help preserve a real piece of Milwaukee's brewing and education history.
In the meantime, yes, you may now go to a school (albeit a closed one) and have a drink.

Urban Spelunking: Calvary Presbyterian Church
Published March 26, 2015
I was a little disappointed the first time I stepped into Henry Koch's 1870 Calvary Presbyterian Church - that soaring red building on 10th and Wisconsin. The sanctuary has been completed remodeled and modernized. The pews are gone, replaced by stacks of movable chairs. The wooden chancel isn't ornately adorned as one might expect in a 150-year-old church, and the new hardwood floors gleam rather than creak with accumulated history. But, then, Pastor Mark McDonough converted me.
