Nat Geo to Air Specials on Boston Bombings, American War Generals (Exclusive)
National Geographic Channel is readying two new documentary specials -- one on the Boston Marathon Bombers and another focused on interviews with 10 living U.S. war generals.
The network, which has seen recent ratings success in similar efforts Inside 9/11 and The '80s: The Decade That Made Us, continues to push into marquee documentary events. It will first air Inside the Hunt for the Boston Bombers on April 13, timed to the anniversary of the attack at the 2013 Boston Marathon and the ensuing manhunt for suspects Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

Inside the Hunt for the Boston Bombers, from Locked Up Abroad producers Raw TV Ltd, includes interviews with the FBI, the Boston Police Department and survivors of the bombings -- as well as former Boston mayor Thomas M. Menino and Massachusetts governor Deval Patrick.
"This event is still an open wound for those who lived through the nightmare, and even for those who shockingly watched it play out in the media," said exec vp programming Heather Moran. "This film is a conclusive account of the event as told by both victims and the brave men and women who were on the ground passionately fighting to bring their city back from the brink. Inside the Hunt for the Boston Bombers is truly a heroes' story."
American War Generals is being eyed for a fall premiere. From the creative teams behind Inside 9/11 and The Last Days of Osama bin Laden, the documentary features interviews with Colin Powell, Stanley A. McChrystal, David Petraeus, Wesley Clark, Jack Keane, George William Casey, Barry McCaffer, Raymond Odierno, Karl Eikenberry, Michael T. Flynn and Herbert R. McMaster.
"This groundbreaking special unveils the complex world of conflict strategy and decision-making from our most renowned four-star generals," said NGC president Howard T. Owens. "Inside access with America's most elite military leadership will change viewers' perception of foreign policy and modern military."
The interviews will cover more than 50 years of international conflict and boasts the most four-star generals gathered for one doc. It's being executive produced by Tresha Mabile and Peter Bergen, with Jonathan Towers for Towers Productions.
Both Inside the Hunt for the Boston Bombers and American War Generals will air across the globe in the 171 countries where NGC is carried.

Some big news for Sonic fans, Sega's 2D revival game previously codenamed Project Needlemouse is coming to WiiWare. Its proper title is Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1, leading us to believe it will be episodic in nature.
This new foray into the world of Sonic will run at 480p and will use motion controls in some areas. Here's a trailer:
Could this be Sonic's long overdue return to form?

Phil said:
Wow. It looks decent, but is it me or does '2010 Sonic' look slightly slow.
YoshLee said:
I sure hope Sonic Team has finally gotten it together. Graphically wise the environments look remarkably pretty for a downloadable game, at least from what I saw in the video. Let's hope the gameplay is as well.
wiiboy101 said:
Exactly what I said it was, a hyped project BIRD-MANNING Nintendo S 2D SUCCESS WITH MARIO turns out I was dead on. I didn't expect it on Wii, remember it was hyped as project niddlemouse HD. I'll get mario first then I'll download this one day.
WeAreTheFez said:
The music is unfittingly epic.
Nintendoof said:
He does look slower. But still, I think this is the step in the right direction for Sega. MAKE HIM FASTER.
SonicTheHedgehog said:
ALRIGHT, I'm back in action.
Son Ninja said:
I don't care much about the visual look of this game as long as the game plays as close to those of the Genesis Sonic games.
Yoshi-1up said:
Well, everything after Sonic Adventure 2 was a disaster. (besides secret rings) But I doubt that this will be good. Ok, it's side scrolling again but with crappy 3d tween animations. There better be momentum again, where you actually get faster and faster, that's why the old games felt great. They came out with a game called "Sonic the Hedgehog"(2006) which was a disgrace, hopefully this won't add to that.
Mario said:
I hope Sonic fails.
AlexKidd said:
I'm excited. Now when are they going to bring me back?
Carnell G said:
I have no idea why so many people hate Sonic games too much. If they knew how to play them right without wasting too many lives on 1 stage, they'll be alright saying it's a good game to play. All you have to do is use Basic Common Sense to get pass the stages & boss fights. I say Sonic is just the same as Mario games. If you know how to play Mario, you should know how to play Sonic. I hope the developers keep the game play like Sonic Rush have cause being able to use a button that let's players run at the upper most fastest is the way I like to play. Sonic was never made to go slow period. Making him go slow just because people can handle the speed is a big waste of time doing this project. I can go on forever talking about folks who hate Sonic games but this isn't what I had in mind to talk about & have Hate Mail coming my way. I really do like how Sonic 4 is being made staying with its original roots & realistic backgrounds & picking up right where Sonic 3 & Sonic & Knuckles left off. I hope you can play this game with others characters like Tails & Knuckles & I hope it have Offline 2-player splitscreen Adventure & Vs. Mode & Online 2-player Adventure & Vs. Mode. Also, give each character their own story modes. I pray to God this isn't too much to ask for & I thank you for your time in reading upon this comment of mine. I can't believe these Sonic haters thought Sonic would die this easily but with fans like us around, it's not going to happen anytime soon. Sega & Sonic All-Star Player & a huge fan of Sonic Carnell G. Signing Out.
Fox said:
I wish the best of luck to Sonic the Hedgehog 4 and I hope it succeeds enough that fans stop complaining for once and for all. I also hope to get a chance to play this game somehow, too.

The Space
The bedroom has a full/double sized bed, some shelves, a desk and a closet. Ideal for a couple, but we also have a futon couch that converts into an extra single sleeper for a third person. The room has a door to our backyard. It also has it's own thermostat controlled heat and an air conditioning unit (when it's warm).
Guest Access
You are welcome to use our kitchen at your pleasure. The bathroom is shared with us. The shower is clean and has really good hot water. We will provide linens/soap/shampoo/towels/toothbrushes.
And yes we have Wifi!
Our Nespresso machine makes great cappuccinos, lattes, lungos and espressos which we make every morning. It's easy enough for anybody to use so feel free to help yourself at any time
Interaction with Guests
My name is Alec, my girlfriend is Laura, we will be your hosts. Laura loves to cook breakfast, which we will provide for you every morning in our dining room/kitchen. We love music so usually we play a good record on our vintage record player during breakfast.
Our little dog is a Wolf-Spitz/Corgi mix named Fozzio "Fozzy" Bear-Wolf, and he is awesome. Never met anybody he didn't like. He's adorable. Looks like a wolf puppy, but will not get any bigger. A forever pup.
The Neighborhood
Morgantown gets the nickname because it is the area surrounding the Morgan Ave L Train stop, and the L Train is one of the best lines in the city. Art galleries, music venues, yoga studios and great restaurants and bars such as famed Roberta's Pizza are all within easy walking distance. Morgantown is the heart of the thriving Bushwick, Brooklyn art scene.
Getting around
We live about 5 blocks from the Morgan Ave L train. The L train goes direct to Union Square and will bring you there in 15 minutes. It is one of the fastest subways in NYC, and it connects to almost all of the other lines. We also live close to the J/M/Z line so this is a very convenient place to be and have easy access to all parts of the city.
Other Things to Note
Laura and I both work at a couple of the restaurants/bars nearby. I'm also in a funk/rock/soul band based in Bushwick, Brooklyn. We know and love the area very well.
You have access to our backyard if you are a smoker. If you are open-minded, caring, friendly, fun and cool, and want to be around similar people, come stay with us!
Your Bedroom, with a futon that converts into an additional bed for one, and the door to the backyard if you're a smoker.
I had a great time in Bushwick and a wonderful sleep in the comfortable bed that Alec and Laura provided. They had asked me before it was ok for me to stay alone on the first night which was fine and they had everything ready. When we met they made me feel very welcome and it was great to talk to them. Laura made a perfect breakfast so everything was perfect. There are nice cafes, restaurants and art galleries around so it's the ideal place to get to know Bushwick.
As we first arrived at the subway station in Bushwick we were sceptical and felt a little bit uncertain about this part of town. But this feeling changed directly as we entered the nice and homely appartment of Laura and Alec. We enjoyed a great time in Bushwick with all its nice restaurants and bars. Laura and Alec are wonderful hosts preparing the best breakfast of New York. Thanks for the magnificent stay in Bushwick and your hospitility. We can absolutly recommend to stay in Bushwick in Laura and Alec's home. We will come back!!!
Alec and Laura were excellent hosts, going above and beyond to make us feel comfortable in their lovely home. It was such a relief to be able to stay with them while in town for a very hectic and stressful family wedding.
It was a treat to have breakfast with them each morning and talk well into midday. And they were super helpful as we tried to navigate our many errands around Brooklyn.
In short - Alec and Laura are awesome, warm, friendly and great!
We felt very welcome! Both Alec and Laura had breakfast with us every morning (thanks for all the yummie food, Laura!!) and were a source of information for our day activities. We liked the little coffee shops and restaurants and easy walk to the subway.
Warm and comfortable room and bed. Very conveniently located in Bushwick. Great hospitality.
Alec and Laura were really wonderful hosts and made a great trip to New York even better. The room is big, comfortable and clean and Laura's breakfasts are incredible – healthy and filling and a great start to the day. The apartment is a short walk from the subway line which is only a short ride into Manhattan – super convenient. We'd highly recommend a stay with them!
I, Alec, hail from Seattle and am one of those dreaming artists. I moved to this neighborhood five years ago. My girlfriend, Laura, the love of my life, is another who moved here from Amsterdam... and met me. We moved out of the famed McKibbin Artist Lofts into a beautiful 2 bedroom apartment a few blocks away. A year ago, we opened up our extra bedroom to fellow travelers pursuing their dreams, seeking an inspiring place to relax during their journey.
Hosting has been a great experience for us so far, and we look forward to hosting, possibly you next!

Crinum Bulbispernum
I have 2 Crinum Bulbispernum plants in a garden with several White Yucca plants. I recently started to clean out this garden and discovered that the Crinum's had 6 to eight huge (bigger than my hand)bulbs each and there are scores of small offshuts masssed around each of these. The offshuts have roots and several small tubers (1-2"inch slightly larger than a pencil). I am told these are from the Crinum plants not the Yucca. Does anyone know if this is typical for a Crinum that has been unattended for several years, and will these tuber sets start new plants that will bloom soon and if I should split up the large bulbs? They bloom beautifully every year. PLMK Thanks Pat
Your C. bulbispermum sounds just about right. They make large clumps with lots of offsets over time. Some of the bulbs can be truly huge. I like it because of the blue-green foliage and the distinctive leaves that taper to a long tip, also because it is evergreen here. Most species lose their leaves when temperatures fall a few degrees below freezing.
The offsets will eventually become large enough to flower, it will take a few years. C. bulbispermum does not seem to be reluctant to flower.
Here is a link that might be useful: Crinum bulbispermum
I spent today dividing a crinum that was planted in my yard 5 years ago. It was almost waist high and over a yard across. I found the largest bulbs to be cantaloupe sized or bigger, the smallest about the size of a lemon.
I think there are easily over 50 viable bulbs from this one episode. Man oh man what a plant. Casual though, it's a great unmade bed of a lily. I'm giving most of them away next Saturday.
true pure bulbispernum offset by seed instead of bulb multiplycation. Hyb. forms may do both. Most crinum bulbs get very large in time. Extra bulbs can be moved around the yard or shared with friends but may take some time to bloom. To much shade not enough fertilizer or not being crowded enough for some varieties may keep them from blooming.

Imagine if these things fell into the hands of tairsts, or pediofiddlers? Someone could lose an eye.

I approve of this decision. Someone finally thought of the children; just think how many lives were saved! Science is dangerous, and definitely has no place in our schools. Clearly, the children that built these have some severe mental problems, and all right-thinking people know their parents must be fat, conservative tea-baggers. The kind of violence exhibited by these devices cannot be tolerated. This is exactly why children should not be allowed to think for themselves in school; they are too unpredictable.
I'm glad we were able to stop these domestic terrorists before they killed anyone.

Imagine what they'd have thought of a chemistry set from the 50's! Oh man, they'd shit bricks.
Take a four year old to the range with his/her first bb gun during a protest and watch how they react.
Bonus points if the kid tells them 'they'll get his gun from his cold dead fingers'. I can still see the reaction from the fuckers.

2005 Mazda RX-8 Review
Looks, great fun to drive
Fuel consumption of 18mpg is nowehere near the 24mpg quoted by Mazda
Mazda Rx-8 — Main reason for purchaseing was the looks, just love the shape and styling. Reasonable performance is a bonus (this is the 192bhp version with 5 speed gearbox), though it is by no means the quickest / most powerful car in it's class. Build quality is good, though it has been back 3 times for product recall issues (all things that the owner wouldn't have been aware of). It's a really fun car to drive, the rotary engine sits low giving perfect 50:50 weight distribution, along with rear wheel drive it is a joy to throw about on country lanes. Fuel consumption atrocious though (about 18mpg), and the rotary engine gets through about 5 litres of oil a year.

2005 Mazda RX-8 6-Speed Review
It's fast, fun, easy to drive, the styling is amazing, 9,000-rpm redline ::drool::
The stock tires SUCK on wet pavement. Honestly, I'd be running all seasons up until winter and then snow tires are a must. Gas mileage. Let the engine warm up in lower temperatures (which you should anyways) instead of just getting in and driving off. The only other bad thing is that your face may ache from smiling so much; but that's just a trade-off.
My First Test Drive Of An Rx-8 — Okay so I'm going to be straight forwards with this, the gas mileage kinda sucks. It's not as bad as an SUV, but it's getting there. Although, for the way it's driven and the way it performs, it seems about right. With it's 1.3L rotary engine, you're getting 238hp. Yes, 238hp from a 1.3L engine. If you're driving the AT instead of the MT, it drops down to 197hp. You can seriously feel the difference with the MT. As far as interior and exterior styling, they're awesome. A sports car that's actually comfortable... amazing! The curves are sexy, the suicide doors are rather practical incase you need to load something large in from the side and it looks cool. I've driven the 3.2 Audi TT, Porsche Boxster S and the Nissan 350Z and I would STILL take the RX-8 over all of them. It's a true drivers car. Don't drive her gentle because you're only cheating yourself. Drive her hard and you'll have to have plastic surgery to remove the smile from your face.

GREAT Handling, FAST Acceleration, Comfortable, Ladies LOVE it!!! Great sound, ROTARY ENGINE! :D
Gas mileage, drinks oil, high maintenance.
A Fast, Reliable, And Fun Car. Rx-8 Is The S**t — The car handles remarkably well. It's fast, lightweight, and overall just an amazing vehicle. The gas mileage isn't the best, but it's also not made to be taken on super long road trips. The interior is extremely comfortable. I've sat in the car for hours and couldn't complain. Because of the rotary engine, it drinks oil, but as long as you add a little every second time you fill up the gas tank, it's not an issue. The car definitely attracts a lot of attention. There's nothing else like it on the road. It's unique, well built, and I couldn't have asked for a better companion throughout my years of driving.

great looks and handling, internal styling is fantastic, well speced car
poor mpg, very expensive tyres, needs regular oil top ups, needs a supercharger to make go!
Rx8 2005 190ps — I love this car although its not without issues! Had new alloys and fins under warranty as originals had corroded, the clutch packed in at 23,000 miles, tyres are very expensive, needs regular oil top ups, front suspension parts wear and its thirsty on fuel. Its still great fun but lacks the performance to match its looks. I love it to bits and would buy another for all its faults.

Always Puts A Smile On My Face! — Excellent car and great fun, you'll get through lots of fuel, but you'll have a smile on your face. Keep an eye on the ignition coils though and don't buy a second hand one without a compression test! Also looks amazing :D

Perfect For Experienced Drivers — PERFECT ALL AROUND!! great handling its a 50/50 weight car. tops out around 156 at least thats how fast i've gone so far. Looks slick, curves bring out the best. Gas mileage not so great but not horrible somewhere around 20 to the gallon i think. sound of the engine is amazing people always comment on it. It's affordable and great car for the summer!!

Nice amout of Power, nice Braking system. Pretty good handeling.
TERRIBLE MAINTANCE. 4,000 dollars just so you can have a rotary spinning again. A rotary will go out about once a year.
Fun But Expensive. — Liked the power/speed and the brakes were the best part. However like i said. Maintenance is a nightmare!!!! 4,000 a year because a rotary went out. Plus the car payment itself. it is expensive. i HIGHLY recommend to avoid buying this car. It is expensive!
Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

2005 Mazda RX-8 Sport AT Review
seats are amazingly comfy. the car has very tight handling. feels good behind the wheel.
alot of mods do not make an impact. look up rx-8 mods and do some research, the car isnt really a car to race, more luxury and a wow, to look at.
Looks And Beauty — The rx-8 is a nice car to drive around in if you can afford it. looks impressive, but not a speed boasting car. the design is unique, super light and little bit of space in the back unless you take the back seats out then you have more space to carry other things.
Primary Use: Commuting to work

My Beginning — This was my first car. got it when i was 16. It has awesome pick-up. it looked gorgeous and it was really fun to drive. i loved the rotary engine at the time but wanted a new car so i got this over a used rx-7. handling was superb since this is rear wheel drive you can drift.

2005 Mazda RX-8 6-Speed Review
Red Sports car, appearance is great. Acceleration is fantastic, light weight with good HP. Low miles, only maintenance needed while I have had the car is an oil change. Car has awesome handling and control, very good stopping ability as well. Very fun car to drive.
Smaller car, compact spacing. For me, it is just too small as I am used to driving a truck. Not a lot of storage spacing, although I can fit my golf clubs in the trunk. Has a few scratches, but nothing too noticeable.
Fun, Red, Sports Car. — I liked this car a lot to drive, I am just looking to get a car that I can use back in the mainland as well. This is a RWD car, and from where I am from, it snows quite a bit. This car is really enjoyable to someone who wants the speed and good acceleration. It is an automatic transmission, but does have paddle shifters, and a manual stick. All in all though, great car for the price and miles on it.

Incoming call screen works fine, but when i answer the call, screen turns completely black only solution is to mash power button to end call. I am using Cyanogen mod 11 2014-07-29 nightly 4.4.4 . This problem came up when i was using Resurection Rom. I though that screen turns black because detectors near speaker sends the signal to the rom that phone is near my ear so it needs to go black, but no, one day phone just crashed and this happened.

From his JLA Real Variety Show appearance in 2006 as an unknown but still accomplished comic musician, Tim has gone on to conquer the world with his work on the acclaimed stage musical Matilda, sell-out tours and a move to Hollywood.
A virtuoso Australian pianist with a rare talent for topical comedy, Tim Minchin scooped the Perrier Best Newcomer award at Edinburgh and Best Alternative Act at the US Comedy Arts Festival. He is now arguably the best known comic musician in the world.
Tim combines sharp observations, clever word play and general life-enhancing silliness with extraordinary musicianship. His songs cover the range of human experience up to and including the use of canvas shopping bags.
As well as sell-out live shows, Tim is now perhaps best known for the extraordinary West End and Broadway smash Matilda the Musical, for which he wrote the music and lyrics. The award-winning RSC production has become one of the most popular and acclaimed new musicals and is to be made into a film.
Away from the stage Tim is a TV regular on both sides of the Atlantic from QI, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, and Friday Night with Jonathan Ross to Conan O'Brian and Charlie Rose. As an actor he's played Judas in the anniversary production of Jesus Christ Superstar, and ironically Jesus in the US TV show Californication. He also brought his piano and acting skills together to play Mozart in Amadeus.
In cabaret, Tim presents highlights from his sell-out shows in London, New York, Montreal and Los Angeles with comic gems about live, love and people. He may also pen bespoke songs for the occasion, which might well involve some rather obvious product placement.

Jordan suspended
Maybe Jordan was not suspended from basketball for gambling, maybe he just liked baseball
Aug 24, 2010, 11:04 AM EDT
Michael Jordan went to play baseball as a quiet suspension for his gambling activities. It's an accepted truth in America, right up there with the man on the grassy knoll and the aliens at Area 51. Except that maybe it's not true. None of it. Especially the MJ part. Tuesday night the latest in ESPN's…

Starting seeds now?
Hi everyone! I'm getting spring fever and would like to start some seeds. How about you, are you growing anything yet? Do you have any suggestions of plants that will do ok with an early start? I can never keep it all straight.
I hope everyone's staying warm! It looks like this weekend will be looking up here in Madison, almost 40 by Monday (it sounds balmy)! Could spring really be coming??
You might want to check out the Winter Sowing Forum, turquoise.
Inside, I'll be starting marigolds and some other flowers end of March as soon as I return from vacation (I'll be using lights to speed things up). If I was going to be around, I'd probably start some things end of Feb.
I started my onions and celery tonight. I'll be starting my Peppers Mar. 1, Broccoli & Cabbage Mar. 25, and Tomatoes Mar. 30.
I've been starting my own plants for 4 years now and really enjoy it. All I started out with was a 4 foot double bulb fluorescent fixture, an old waterbed heating mat, and two flats on a workbench in my basement. I'm now up to 2 8 foot fixtures and 3 four foot fixtures and two warming mats. I'll be doing 10 flats this year.
I found an excellent book when I started gardening 6 years ago called "Home Gardening at its Best" by Sal Gilbertie and Larry Sheehan. It's a great all around book that focuses on vegetable gardening. I've used the Starting From Seed chapter so much, I photocopied it, laminated it, and hung it on my starting bench in the basement. He is in Connecticut but assumes a last frost date of May 10, which works for me.
That cabin fever has a lot of work to get me down!
You bet. I started in January with the slow sprouters and slow starters. These are under lights indoors. I also had some very old seeds that I wanted to test for germination (coleus, nicotiana, petunias, amaranthus, some peppers and eggplants) so that I could buy new and resow if they were not viable.
So far, I've got baby celery, eggplants (black beauty and touch of lavender - none of the old seeds, which were Japanese and Chinese varieties), sweet peppers (rainbow mix, new seeds), Bulgarian carrot peppers (new), amaranthus (from seed packaged for 1989), nicotiana (12-year old seed), rudbeckia hirta (autumn colors), shasta daisy (snow lady), dianthus (an annual variety), pansies (flambe and blue frost), sweet williams, carnations (English giants), delphiniums, monarda, impatiens, and gaillardia. All seem to be quite happy so far. Others are planted but not yet germinating (I doubt the old coleus, eggplants, or petunias will do anything).
I've never tried winter sowing before but am going to go for it with my cold crops - put in spinach last night, will also put in broccoli, cauliflower, kale, chard, collards, radishes, beets, parsnips, turnips, lettuce, onions, pak-choi, Chinese cabbage, regular cabbage, carrots, Brussels sprouts, and corn salad.
Wow, look at you guys go! I pulled a few canna bulbs out of storage, maybe it's too early but in a sunny window they should be ok. I haven't started any seeds yet, but with all of your suggestions I think I'll get started this weekend. Thanks very much, I hope everything turns out nicely for everyone!
I never thought about giving summer bulbs a head start. When I put the cannas in storage, it was December and so warm out they were ready to get going again, so I hope they didn't die. (My sister put the bulbs in her garage and forgot about them instead of cleaning them up, letting them cure, and putting them away like I instructed her to do in October.)
turquoise - I sort all my seeds at the end of the year into 4 containers, numbered 1, 2, 3, and "outdoors". In January I pull out #1 and start indoor sowing. I'm almost done planting those things. This winter sowing lark may change my method if it works. That forum claims you can start tender annuals (e.g., squash, tomatoes) using the method, so I'm going to experiment with the heat-lovers but also plant them indoors so as to avoid putting all my eggs in one basket. Hardening off is always an iffy period when I lose a few seedlings so if the winter sowing helps avoid that, I'll be a convert for sure.
Also - since we are neighbors, let me know later if you've suffered any type of crop failure ... I ALWAYS have too much so if I can help fill in any gaps, I will be happy to give away excess "foster plants" to good homes.
Other than tomatoes that I start on 4-1, most of my veggies are direct sown or bought as plants. In Feb. I do start petunia, impatiens, gazania, portulaca and, this year, foxglove. March and April will bring many more. The best tip I learned years ago is to use a 50-50 mix of warm white and cool white florescent lights. This gives a wide enough spectrum to tide the plants over until they start going outside in May.
Great tips, thanks very much!
Chaz, I don't know if starting the cannas early really helps, but it's nice to see something coming back to life. Most of them will stay in storage, but I've started a few bulbs. Last year I started them and they did pretty well. They really didn't go crazy until they got outside, but they're so strong they didn't get weak or leggy either.
The weatherman said we should be leaving our subzero temps behind by tomorrow, let's hope he's right. I have hardy bananas (musa basjoo) out in the yard, I'll be shocked if they survive this year. :(
I'm going to start a few tomatoes (Glacier) in a few weeks. I know it's early, but I can't resist plunking a few seeds down to see what happens. I'm going to try Wall O Waters so hopefully I can get them outside by early April. It's definitely an experiment and doing stupid things is sometimes how I learn about gardening (and I have a lot to learn)!
Chaz, thanks very much for the offer, it's very nice of you!
I see that a heat wave is on its way.
Tomato seeds are in container #2, so around March 1 I'll start them. I finished planting seeds from container #1. In the interim I will focus on winter sowing. Kale and spinach are already in their containers, just soaking up water at this point. I'll put them outside tomorrow.
I read on the bulbs forum a thread where someone said he was starting his caladiums indoors in pots. I'm buying a large quantity of them so may give it a try.
Chaz and Farmerboy, are you starting some of your hot loving plants like peppers and eggplants a bit early ?
When are you planting ? Do you use a coldframe ?
If not, don't your plants get a bit leggy and rootbound since you probably transplant around Memorial Day ?
I've got the bug, but I don't want to start to early. You guys must have some ideas that I am missing.
Some would say it's too early, but I always start eggplants and peppers in Jan/Feb and usually have good success with them. The flats and grow-light set-up are in the spare bedroom, against an inside wall, so the cold isn't an issue.
Last year everything went out on Memorial Day. I remember because it was in the 90s and I spent 20 hours of a 48-hour gardening weekend out in the heat!
I'm also giving the winter sowing idea a try. All my peppers are planted now (and sprouting, indoors), but will give it a go with some of my tomatoes. At this point I've only put cold crops in the winter sowing containers - kale, spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, radishes, tat-soi. But lots more will follow.
Right on Elvis! I actually get my tomato and pepper plants out about 6 weeks early. Biggest help to me is that it gives me a chance to pick the right day, get them in, and avoid all the heavy rains that will set planting back a few weeks. Tomatoes work best, peppers seem to be OK but haven't seen any great advantage to the WOW's.
Regarding starting seeds, I'll be getting the veggies rollin' this weekend, I'm just going to winter sow the flower seeds and see what happens. I have a few pesky rabbits that will chew off anything that I plant early.
I had the itch last night-mystery foxglove,dicentra(yellow vine)roman shields,money plant,double white hollyhock,coleus, but the dicentre says put in the fridge in potting medium for 21 days then could be 10 to 90 days till germination, isnt that crazy- 1st time posting on the board but a 3 year lurker have a good one......
Con, last year my pepper plants just sat there, didn't grow at all while in the WOW's. Only started growing after Mem day when I took off the WOW's. Had a bumper crop though, so maybe they were growing roots the whole time. But the tom's on the other hand went crazy in them, as usual.
Luder, germinate in fridge then 10-90 days to germination? That does sound crazy.
Curiouser and curiouser. Here's what GardenMakers.com says about dicentra scandens:
'Sow seed in flats and keep at temperatures of 64-72 F. for 2-4 weeks. Move flats to a cold area (25-39 F.) for at least 4 weeks. Maintain an even moisture throughout this period. Once the cool period is complete, place flats in a 45-55 F. environment. If sown outside, sow in the fall and allow the wintering cycle to occur naturally.'
Yeoww! Directions like these make me crazy. For me, this means: sow indoors, leave for 3 weeks. Move to unheated garage or outside if the temp is suitable, but don't forget about them. Wait 4 weeks. Now it's the third week of April or so. Start treating them as normal WS?

Our new home
Hoping this works it's been ages since I've posted a pic. We moved to our new place in October. It's way out in the country in west Georgia not far from the Alabama border. I love the rolling hills in the back. The sun sets there, it's an awesome sight to behold. Here's the front of the house so bare and stark without roses I think.
view from the back porch
The local boys and DH
The horses don't belong to us they are the Doctor's (previous owner). He built a new home behind and off to the left of us. The property was subdivided from the original 40 acres when our house went up for sale. We have 7 acres , the remainder is theirs. The shed and land is our side yard. We don't mind sharing it with the horses for the time being. The inside of the house needs work, every single wall is clad in cheap paneling, no sheet rock behind it. It's ugly but not a priority, of course the garden comes first.
Annie, that's lovely. A blank slate to work some magic on. (don't you wonder what the thought was behind those two lonely shrubs near the front entrance?)
I'm so envious of the space and your opportunity to make new gardens. Keep taking pictures and showing us your progress...I think you're going to have a busy and happy Spring.
Annie, I LOVE your back porch view. Looks very peaceful where you are. Thanks for the photos.
WOW --- what a view---and 7 acres to play with
I can't wait to see how you design your rose garden--I remember your other plan and it was lovely.
I'm so happy you are in a safe place----
If only DH and I were about 20 years younger---well maybe 30 years ------LOL----I would love to be able to start over on a clean slate
Please share your pictures.
I did wonder at that, the bushes seem so...disjointed. They are pretty much the extent of any landscaping that was done previously. So yes a very blank slate to work with. I haven't done much as yet. Have just started getting some of the larger roses with sprawling tendencies planted along the fence line. Maggie, blush noisette, Clair Matin, etc. Many of them are young own roots the stakes I used to mark them are bigger lol. On the south side yard my thoughts were to border the property with some of the larger tea roses.
Oh Annie, How wonderful!!! Florence told me about your posts. We wondered where you had got to.
I love your new home, and the blank slate. Your last garden was amazingly beautiful, and know you can create another awesome garden.
Glad to know all is well with you.
Brenda (viking queen)
Great new place Annie I can see why you love it. Congrats. Can't wait to see some garden pics, so much grass..........LOL good luck. I would love to have those horses next door to me. It is a new found passion for me, riding horses, can't get enough of that.
Wiilburrrr! NEIGH-bor reminded me of Mr. Ed lol, loved that show. I am smitten with the horses, I often wander out for a little chat with them and a velvety nuzzle. I have fallen in love with the younger gelding, Cisco. He's got kind of a spunky, bad boy in charge attitude, but not in a mean way. He's always more than gentle with me. Very intelligent you can see it in his eyes. To help build up my stamina I stroll the field picking up interesting rocks for my small rock garden. He often follows, me I'm just that fascinating lol! I'll see if I can snap a pic of him to share. Psst Deb don't tell anyone but I really don't mind the smell, it just smells green and earthy to me ; ) Brenda! I'm so glad you stopped by to say hello too! How are you?
Annie ~ Congrats on your new home, and your wonderful 7 acres of blank garden areas to fill. I love that view from your porch. DH and I have been searching via the web for property in your state and in NC. Not quite ready to move just yet, but if things happened in order that we could, we would. Haven't quite found the right place either.

The Space
To read the the 127 five-star reviews, go to the TripAdvisor web site and enter 'La Casa de Dona Ana, Guanajuato, Mexico' into the search box.
The Vintage Guanajuato suites (apartments) are located on the Calle del Minero in the San Matias barrio (close to the Abadia and Camino Real hotels.)
The suites are close to restaurants, stores, and the central plazas of Guanajuato. It takes 20 minutes walking to get into the center of town, and there is good bus and taxi service just around the corner from the suites.
The suite have two large rooms - the living room and kitchenette are combined in one room, and the bedroom is in the other room. The bedroom features a queen-size bed. The bathroom is a separate room next to the bedroom.
The covered roof terrace has views of the center (the Alhóndiga museum, the Mercado Hidalgo, and the Pípila monument) to the south, and views of the hills to the west.
The suites are fully furnished, and decorated in traditional Mexican style. Furnishings include bed linens, towels, dishes, cookware, coffee maker, blender, microwave, TV, range, refrigerator, washing machine and dryer (on the roof terrace), a small safe for your valuables, and built-in filtered drinking water. Cable TV, DSL Internet and wireless, and cellular telephone is provided for your convenience. Weekly maid service is provided for weekly rentals, bi-weekly for monthly rentals.

1-3 months USD$597 per month
4 or more months USD$547 per month.
Sorry, no pets, smokers, or children in these suites. Maximum of two guests per suite.
Mike and Ana made everything easy- even though they were on vacation they arranged for someone to let us in. All the instructions are clear and complete. The apartment is perfect - just the right size for 2, very clean, and everything that you need to make simple meals is provided. The best part is the view from the rooftop terrace which is stunning, especially at sunset. It's a 20-30 minute walk to get into the heart of the historic center, or a cheap bus ride, but the view is worth it.
Mike was very helpful throughout and clearly communicated with me throughout the entire booking process. The space is as shown online and the space is wonderful. Mike provided great instructions on arriving to Guanajuato along with a lovely web guide to the City. Its a fun walk down to the Historic Center. I would definitely stay here again.
Mike met us at the entrance of the road to the house. He explained about the house and had a notebook with directions and suggestions. He then walked us down to Centro to give us a good start on our exploration of Guanajuato.
Mike was the perfect host with the perfect apartment. He communicated very well with us and provided all necessary information for our stay. The apartment was very comfortable and the bed was bliss! They also provided a full range of necessities for our stay which was very much appreciated, such as cooking oil, coffee, cling wrap, little things but they make life easier. Even provided was a computer and cellphone if required. It was a lovely 20 min or so walk to the centre and sometimes we'd catch a 40 peso cab home. Sometimes the neighbours are a bit noisy but then you must expect this anywhere in Mexico.
my wife and i chose mike and ana's based on the strong ratings. our experience leads us to join with others who have enjoyed staying there. mike greeted us at the beginning of our stay and gave us all the particulars. the apt is spotless, and we especially appreciated the comfortable bed, hot showers and filtered water....oh, and watching the coronation of the new super bowl winners on their tv!
gto is a vibrant city; lots to do and see. we especially enjoyed an evening meal at a new restaurant, los campos. this apt is well located; you can walk downtown, although taxis and the local bus are within half a block.
thanks, mike and ana for an enjoyable week!
Mike and Ana's apartments are exactly as described on AirBnB. No surprises with this listing. Or at least no unpleasant surprises. Along with supplying an apartment that has everything a vacationer or potential ex-pat could need (clean water, stocked kitchen, bathroom necessities, clean roof with a gorgeous view), Mike and Ana also happen to be extremely kind and generous hosts. In just the one week that I've been in Guanajuato, Mike has proven to be a great and willing resource for discovering this city.
The neighborhood, San Javier, is perfect for those who like to be close to the center of everything, but not so close that they can't catch a decent night's sleep.
If you like what you see and read on this listing, then will you be more than satisfied upon your arrival.
The apartment in Guanajuato is very comfortable. The bed =A+, shower was almost too hot! kitchen- very nicely stocked for cooking breakfast. Washer and dryer easy to access, though dryer is slow to completely dry clothes, allow plenty of time. The apartment is charmingly decorated. It is in a safe neighborhood a bit of a hike from the center, but what isn't in GTO?! We would stay there again without hesitation. We had a wonderful time & Mike was very quick to help us with any concerns or problems. Highly recommended by the Browning!

The CCIF and its members have recently focused on creating a common cloud taxonomy and ontology. I find it's starting to sound a lot like semantics, Cloud Semantics. We are in a sense defining what cloud computing is by describing its "components" and their relationships to one another. One that is capable of expressing cloud computing and its subsequent parts in terms of a consensus data model.
So in this effort we may actually be defining a dynamic computing model that can, under certain conditions, be 'trained' to appropriately 'learn' the meaning of related cloud & infrastructure resources based on an common ontology / taxonomy. In a sense, we are talking about the Semantic Web applied to API's or more broadly, a unified cloud interface.
What is the Semantic Web and why does it matter for a unified cloud interface?
The Wikipedia describes the semantic web as "a vision of information that is understandable by computers, so that they can perform more of the tedious work involved in finding, sharing and combining information on the web."
Why not apply those same philosophies to the underlying control structures of the web (i.e. the cloud) itself? A Semantic Cloud Infrastructure capable of adapting to a variety of methodologies / architectures and completely agnostic to any specific API or platform being described. A general abstraction that doesn't care if you're focusing on a platform (Google App Engine, Salesforce, Mosso etc), application (SaaS, Web2.0, email, id/auth) or infrastructure model (EC2, Vmware, CIM, etc).
I'm the first to point out there are other groups attempting a similar approach for web services (i.e. Liberty Alliance), systems management (i.e. DMTF / CIM, OASIS) and others (i.e. OpenID/OAuth). However, I feel all of these groups lack a true consensus of how to describe "all" the aspects of the cloud using a unified semantic ontology.
I've been very impressed by the work the Distributed Management Task Force
(DMTF) has achieved with their Common Information Model (CIM). It could be a key aspect of our unified cloud interface efforts. However, one of the problems a lot of these system management standards are missing is any kind of usage outside of the traditional "enterprise" system management platforms or in the case of VMWare or Microsoft, they are simply limited to their own platforms - interoperable, but only if you're using our software.
The key drivers of a unified cloud interface (UCI) is "One abstraction to Rule them All" - an API for other API's. A singular abstraction that can encompass the entire infrastructure stack as well as emerging cloud centric technologies through a unified interface. What a semantic model enables for UCI is a capability to bridge both cloud based API's such as Amazon Web Services with existing protocols and standards, regardless of the level of adoption of the underlying API's or technology. The goal is simple, develop your application once, deploy anywhere at anytime for any reason.
The other benefit of a semantic model is that of future proofing. Creating a model that assumes we as an industry are moving forward and not making any assumptions on the advancements in technology by implementing a static specification based on current technological limitations but instead creating one that can adapt as technology evolves.
The use of a resource description framework (RDF) based language may be an ideal method to describe our semantic cloud data model. The benefit to these types of RDF based ontology languages is they act as a general method for the conceptual description or modeling of information that is implemented by actual web resources. These web resources could just as easily be "cloud resources" or API's. This approach will allow us to easily take an RDF-based cloud data model and adapt it within other ontology languages or web service formats making it both platform and vendor agnostic. In applying this approach we're not so much defining how, but instead describing what. What is cloud computing?
The next steps in enabling a unified future for cloud computing will be to create a working group focused on an open semantic taxonomy and framework. This group will investigate the development of a functional unified cloud interface implementation across several cloud and infrastructure providers. To this end, we have created a Google Code project at http://code.google.com/p/unifiedcloud/ The current time frame for the public unveiling of an initial functional draft UCI implementation, taxonomy and ontology will be April 2nd at the upcoming Wall Street Cloud Computing Interoperability Forum.
If you'd like to be a contributor to the UCI working group please get in touch with me directly. If you would like to be involved without joining the UCI Working Group, you are encouraged to review and comment on the working drafts as they become available. Updates will be posted to the Cloud Computing Interoperability Forum mailing list. Feedback from people & companies actually implementing the specifications will be especially valuable and appreciated.

Wearable technology was dominant at this year's International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) , and MWC was no exception to this trend. New versions of favorites, such as the Samsung Gear (three new products were released: the Gear 2, the Gear 2 Neo and the Gear Fit), shared the limelight with new wearables like Pebble Time Steel (the new premium version of the company's previously released smartwatch) and the LG Watch Urbane. The most dramatic difference at MWC was an emphasis on presenting wearables as fashion accessories and moving away from the original clunky technology associated with t...

What's happening to my TifGrand?
hdog(7upstatesc)August 31, 2011
After 4 weeks and following the Bermuda Bible and help from this forum, I have some dead spots. I'm getting a bit concerned. I watered for 15 min. every 3 hrs from 6 am to 6pm during the extreme heat. Everything looked great. Now I have cut back watering to every 3 days. I noted that the ground at the grass roots under the tree stays moist (mostly shade all day). Could it be some sort fungus? I am attaching some close up pics. and one wide shot. I hope this works, as I am digital photo challenged.

- the story
Puppy Love
Bringing colorful life to everyday pets, this collage by Allison Gray was created by affixing vibrant printed papers to a simple cardboard background and then mounted on canvas. Working in an animal shelter, Allison was saddened by the negative stereotypes that surrounded shelter pets and so-called "bully breeds" like pit bulls and Rottweiler's. Wanting to shed light on their loyal and affectionate personalities, she created this lovely series, showcasing soulful portraits in a collage of vibrant colors and flowing typography. This is a print of Allison's original collage. Made in Pennsylvania, printed in Oregon.

Kori, Cheryl and Eileen, your preconceived notions are a shame. Love the pink and words "love" in the background. Anyone who knows pit bull terriers truly know what lovebugs they are.
I have to agree with Christine's comments. When my neighbor's first move in they had a pit bull and I was a bit wary since I had not been around that breed before. I had German Shepherds. Pits are some of the sweetest dogs I have been around! You must remember any dog behavior comes from the owner and how they are treated!

Speech recognition software and electronic psychiatric progress notes: physicians' ratings and preferences
1 Information Management Group, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, 1001 Queen St. West, Toronto, Ontario, M6J 1H4, Canada
2 Biostatistical Consulting Service, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, 33 Russell St., Toronto, Ontario, M5S 3M1, Canada
BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making 2010, 10:44 doi:10.1186/1472-6947-10-44Published: 25 August 2010
The context of the current study was mandatory adoption of electronic clinical documentation within a large mental health care organization. Psychiatric electronic documentation has unique needs by the nature of dense narrative content. Our goal was to determine if speech recognition (SR) would ease the creation of electronic progress note (ePN) documents by physicians at our institution.
Subjects: Twelve physicians had access to SR software on their computers for a period of four weeks to create ePN. Measurements: We examined SR software in relation to its perceived usability, data entry time savings, impact on the quality of care and quality of documentation, and the impact on clinical and administrative workflow, as compared to existing methods for data entry. Data analysis: A series of Wilcoxon signed rank tests were used to compare pre- and post-SR measures. A qualitative study design was used.
Six of twelve participants completing the study favoured the use of SR (five with SR alone plus one with SR via hand-held digital recorder) for creating electronic progress notes over their existing mode of data entry. There was no clear perceived benefit from SR in terms of data entry time savings, quality of care, quality of documentation, or impact on clinical and administrative workflow.
Although our findings are mixed, SR may be a technology with some promise for mental health documentation. Future investigations of this nature should use more participants, a broader range of document types, and compare front- and back-end SR methods.
