The late-night online seed orders have been coming in fast and furious, and I've just been shoving them in the big plastic container of seedy madness and waiting for a free moment to sort them out. I had a great system of envelopes at the beginning of last year, but somehow I still ended up with this giant mess. I seem to have eleven thousand varieties of lettuce, and enough tomatoes to satisfy the needs of several large Italian families. If only I had the space to plant them all!
I'm planning to try a few new vegetables this year; I've tracked down a short-season sweetcorn that might just work in the sunny spot in the middle of the backyard. The variety is Yukon Chief from Victory Seeds in the US (I couldn't find a Canadian source, not even in the actual Yukon). It is supposed to be a fairly compact plant, with each stalk bearing multiple ears. I've never grown corn before, and in fact very few people around here do, but if these seeds do well, perhaps that will change. I bought a packet for the Rabbittown Community Garden, too. Since there isn't really any corn growing near either location, we should be able to save some seed without any concern about it crossing. Who knows, it just might work.
Like all the other cold-climate gardening folk, I've been reading my way through the winter. These two books have been especially pleasant to flip through while the snow falls outside:
I'm very interested in Charles Dowding's no-dig method, not least of all because I am a very lazy gardener and would rather not do any more back-breaking labour than absolutely necessary. I think a lot of the labour we take on in the garden is simply to make us feel like we're doing something. It's the worms' job to integrate compost or manure into the soil: why do we insist on micromanaging?
Tammi Hartung's book is just gorgeous - beautifully illustrated, and full of suggestions for attracting more creatures to your garden, because more creatures means better balance and a more productive, less labour-intensive garden. Now, I say this as someone who lives in a place without squirrels, chipmunks, raccoons, possums, tomato hornworms, or, to the best of my knowledge, squash vine borers. But if I can attract creatures to eat the slugs and cabbage worms, I'll be a very happy lady.
So my plan for this evening: seed-sorting. It's going to take a while. But since our last average frost date is still 3 1/2 months away, what else do I have to do?

Set inside a man-made pond is a marble stone island with a huge gas torch burning. At the other end of the pond was an arch with a memorial stone and altar so people can pray and remember.

I'm always concerned that my foot position is not correct when I call pull. How do I know where to put my feet? Richard Edson, Dickinson, Texas One of the first things you want to do when you get to the station you are shooting is to decide where to break the targets so that you can put your feet in the correct position. That way you will be in balance at the break point. You will need to point your left foot (right foot for left handers) in the direction of the place you want to break the target. The other foot needs to be placed to the side and back 1 or 2 inches or whatever is comfortable for you, so that there is a line between the back heel and the front toe and that is the place you want to break the target. Your feet should be about the distance apart as your armpits. If they get too much wider, you are not able to move as well to the bird. If the wind comes up and you have to make an adjustment in the swing you are not able to as easily as if your feet were closer together. With your feet closer together, this also helps you make a good gun mount. The gun is able to move to your face more easily if your feet are not too far apart. Try it and see. Put your feet really far apart and try to make a good perfect gun mount. Then put them closer together and see if it makes a difference. Standing straight with only a slight lean in your stance (with your nose over your toes) will also help in the gun mount. The shoulder then is in line with the stock and the gun ccan slide up to the cheek easy. All these hints will help you make not only a good gun mount, but will help you in your decision on where to break the target. Once that has been established you don't have to think about it again and you will be lined up correctly with the target and not breaking your back along your swing. This also prevents that rainbow effect in your swing. Swing into your stance and a good gun mount will occur, and even more important more targets will break as a result.
"We help you achieve more than you think is possible."
"You can go to anyone you want to learn to shoot, but if you want to go to the best, go to Gil Ash. He has helped me with not only my shooting, but the mental game as well!"Craig Hill, Houston, TX

The Dodgers took an early 6-0 lead but could not hold on as the game was called a 10-10 tie against the Yankees in the sixth inning due to darkness last Thursday in Northgate Little League minor division action.
I hate renting land to stand on or walk through to get to the water, but that is whole separate discussion that would probably require a hardback binding, not a simple fold.
Several of my friends have asked me about fishing in a club.
In as much time as I spend on the waters of our western states seeking trout, bass and other fish, it is inevitable that I would naturally run into the other creatures that also frequent our waters. I enjoy observing and sometimes interacting with almost all of the critters I encounter.
Manteca Futbol Club's under-10 girls Flames coasted to a first-place finish in the inaugural Manteca FC Spring Invitational this past weekend at Woodward Park, winning three of their four matches by at least a six-goal margin in the gold division.

The thrilling win placed Coach Larry Siemering's tossers on top of the Modesto Sub-league loop with three wins and no losses and three games remaining to be played in league competition. Stellar relief hurling by Bill Blodgett, who took over the mound in the seventh, turned the trick after the Panthers had blasted Lou Bronzan's offerings for a total of six runs and eight base hits in ...

In December I got an email asking if I would like to review some nightwear, and I must say I was really excited. I went around telling whoever would listen that I was going to be sent a pair of beautiful classic pyjamas, in organic cotton no less. It came as a shock to then find out when they arrived that I would have to pay to keep them or pay to send them back. If I'm going to pay for something I want it to be of my own accord, so it left rather a bad taste in my mouth. Now if I'd been told that I could only try it on and then have to send it back, and I'd fallen in love with it, then I might have shelled out. But dropping bombshells like that is a great way of starting a war.
Back to the pyjamas, they're made of an organic cotton satin, which is really lovely to the touch. The print is custom designed specifically for Nuit et Compagnie and finished with a delicate blue piping and matching shell buttons in the shape of little flowers. I tend to wear oversized pyjamas (probably because I'm so used to stealing my boyfriend's clothes and wearing them to bed) so I would recommend ordering a size up to the one you are on the website, I didn't and these certainly would have been too tight for bed. Also if you're on the taller side order up, I'm only 5'6" but these were a little short in the leg, that's not really a problem for bed but these are cute enough to wear outside (if you dare). Price wise these don't come cheap at €160, they are all handmade in Paris, from a custom designed fabric (as mentioned).
If you're still looking for organic pyjamas but these are out of your price range, my other favourites include People Tree and Alas.

I seem to have been raised by parents who carefully concealed their French nationality to the point of speaking with a Chicago accent.

Neutrality Policy and the Wall of Silence
Speaking from direct, personal experience... Minnesota in the mid-80s to mid-90s was the land of Mondale and Humphrey--with a handful of extremist conservatives. It was a place dominated by lilly white people and snowy landscapes. The population had a penchant for doing good deeds. One of them was attracting people of different cultures who had serious needs. First, the Hmong, then Korean adoptions, then South Asians, then Somalis.

I don't feel that this is true at all. I think that some Somali folks have had a hard time being accepted because of anti-black racism and because of bias against Muslims.

They turn death into just one more thing where you have a checklist - Make sure I don't regret not calling mom! Make sure I don't regret not going to Hawai'i!

(armchair Marxists polemicize
I always wonder how one transitions from "armchair Marxist" to some other kind. Like, do you literally have to run a marxist state or can you just engage in social justice and community activism based on marxist principles? Not that I personally am a marxist, of course. And I would classify myself more as an "in bed reading the internet anarchist" since honestly the armchairs at my house are not as comfortable for loafing.)

It says they've found some new names for workaholism - it's now called "meaning" and "passion".

If there is tacit agreement that individuals as old as 18 are still "half-formed," careless babes, we should up the age of majority rather than extend a special understanding to a particular few. What I see developing is a strange, counter-intuitive pattern in which the meaner, more spiteful and premeditated the behavior, the more likely it is to attract claims that it's just "kids being kids." Even if those kids can, e.g., enlist in the armed forces and… [more]

Thank goodness we just found our little cat hunting mice in our yard.

Now she is the boss of our creaky old Victorian, which I suppose would not have passed muster with the shelter since we're still fixing it up.

History doesn't always repeat itself; sometimes it rhymes
I've always had a soft spot for Old Fritz ever since I learnt his asshole father forced him to watch the execution of the man who was almost certainly his lover, Hans Hermann von Katte. It's a wonder that Fritz did not govern as a monster after that experience and turned out as well as he did.
When they figure out time travel, I am so going to destroy history by going back and making this not happen.

Weird.

Has there ever actually been good fantasy literature with well-crafted prose but a constructed, compellingly real world?
Everyone should at once read Samuel Delany's Neveryon books, which have the additional advantage of being a commentary on the early days of continental philosophy's rise in the US, and also being in parts and very sadly about the early days of the AIDS epidemic. Seriously, they are sword-and-sorcery and not high fantasy, but they're pretty great.

fshgrl, what Frowner is pointing out is that numbers like 65% are misleading to people who don't have experience with grants, because they indicate a percentage of the direct costs, not of the total.
Precisely! I think you and I are both saying the same thing (that 20% overhead is reasonable and that university IDC rates are ~50% for federal funders) but we're explaining the figures differently.

Anthony Bourdain's CNN Travel Show Announces Launch Date
Anthony Bourdain is living up to the promise of his new show's name.
The chef-turned-TV host, who left his hit Travel Channel show No Reservations for CNN last year, will travel to Myanmar for the first episode of Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown, which will air on Sunday, April 14, at 9 p.m. ET.
STORY: Anthony Bourdain Goes After Paula Deen Again
CNN promises the discovery of "the fabled beauty and local cuisines" of the little-known country, which has been under military dictatorship for five decades and has only recently had trade sanctions eased. Bourdain, who in No Reservations traveled all over the world in a rugged tour of sightseeing and regional taste-testing, will also explore Libya, Colombia, the Quebecois side of Canada, Koreatown in Los Angeles, Tangier, Peru and the Congo in future episodes of his CNN show.
The host was brought in well before CNN hired Jeff Zucker to run the network, as part of an effort to broaden its lifestyle and reality programming.
Of the advantages of working with CNN, Bourdain told The Hollywood Reporter in August that it was all about access.
"There are some shows that we just haven't been able to do, like going up the Congo River ... going to post-conflict Libya. These are shows that would have been very, very difficult to do with Travel, in spite of best intentions," he said. "CNN has infrastructure and a whole world of contacts and experience in all these places. So, right away, that makes CNN a very attractive organization to work with, because they can help us shoot in these places in ways that few other organizations could, certainly no travel or food network could."

The Libertines to Reunite
By Tom Breihan on March 29, 2010 at 11:30 a.m. EDT
About eight years and 200 Pete Doherty drug arrests ago, the Libertines released debut album Up the Bracket and became the press-anointed saviors of UK rock. But after drug problems and intra-band strife took their toll, co-leaders Doherty and Carl Bar창t went their separate ways just one record later, with Doherty fronting Babyshambles and Barat leading Dirty Pretty Things. Now Spinner reports that the Libertines will reunite to play England's Reading and Leeds Festivals this summer.

If you are having a problem keeping shields up, in spite of the insanely high healing options, then there is probably something more at work here than just Anti-Protons.
See that's the problem. I got outtanked by a tactical character in a defiant ship yet I am an engineer in an assault cruiser. I'm starting to wonder if something else was at play like another exploit or some other form of cheat. Another problem is that I could not damage this dude at despite him being in a defiant and tactical career. I use all the best offense and defensive combination of powers a ship you can use,
My timing is perfect and my experience is mastered....yet what happeneded did not add up. I've been hit anti-proton before and usually with no problems. But unless they changed the mechanics of the weapons this was not a normal incident. Something does not add up and I suspect another magical exploit in the works like the shield exploit currently going on at the moment. I have never had this situation happen before not just on my tank ship but any of my other careers as well.
I don't know though at this rate I'm going to start using anti proton's and see what the talk is all about because like I said everyone tells to use anti-proton's because they are currently the best vs the other weapon types.

Pole Shift, Crustal displacement evidence is here! Vast Plate movement sequence proved between Indonesia, Alaska and Americas
Poster Handle
Tiny Trink
Post Content
I'm curious about your thoughts for the period of time, following the Pole Shift.
Do you believe the new Equator will run through the middle of the USA & Canada?
Besides ZetaTalk, do you have any recommendations on reading material regarding how my state of Colorado will fare after the pole shift? I live about 30 min North of Denver, in a smaller town. I realize the Rivers will swell, and I'm about 8 miles away from the nearest one.
How much warning do you think we'll have in the interior of the Country before all Hell breaks loose with high winds and large Earthquakes?
I am well aware of very large underground Government areas here in Colorado. Isn't it risky for them to go underground with major flooding and Earthquakes on the horizon?
If Antarctica and the current North Pole suddenly end up in Tropical zones, how long do you think it'll take for the ice to completely melt away and effect the Ocean level? It would seem to me that more ice would melt in a Tropical zone, than form in a new Arctic zone.
How long do you expect the Oceans to slosh around directly following the Pole Shift?
Do you expect the Pole Shift on 12/21/12, as seemingly foretold in ancient religions and writings? If not, what is your best guess?
Go Away
Thanks for sharing.
First of all I have studied Zetatalk long and hard.
If you've seen my threads and videos you'd know I certainly do my research.
I'm ALL about connecting the dots, finding patterns and proven documented data etc.
Zetatalk is real tricky because it is a mix between correct and incorrect.
I personally believe Nancy for whatever reason can't tell the difference between the two.
Probably some agenda behind all this.
Most find the obviously wrong information and then dismiss all the rest.. oddly enough the more hidden information is where you'll find more accurate information.
Take for example this thread and other recent ones where I've predicted earthquakes.. shown patterns etc.
All I've done actually is in tune with zetatalk quote "folding pacific allowing S. America to roll"
We're seeing signs of that now, so much and so obviously so that I've recently predicted activity accurately.
Including the very adjustment now talking place by Indonesia.
Take for example the video I made recently PROVING how adjustments are now taking place by Indonesia followed by 7+ quakes starting the South America roll.. and lastly the media coming out admitting the indo australian plate is breaking in half!
Anybody with a thinking mind would go.. OH MY what amazing PROOF giving creditability to what's going on!
7/10 plate movement etc!
Of course all this is dismissed by the Ning however.
But why? Well as I said there is an agenda and for whatever reason that current agenda is to maintain some hardcore element of doubt.
Either way I'm going to continue to do, share and have a good intention in sharing.
That intention always gets me bashed by most people for bring up Zetatalk.
Truth is what I have predicted accurately is in tune with some statements on the site, some of which helped me in my forecasts.
If I took all credit I'd be selfish and lying however most seem not to understand that.
Anyway... enough about that.
I am 100% sure the pole shift WON'T happen in 2012, too much more needs to take place before the shift can happen.
All of which won't take anybody by surprise.
As far as everything else, I can only guess which I'm not going to do.
My goal is to stay near term and follow the steps and data.
All of which now is this sequence that has occurred 3 times in a row.
That is what's important now, that is back up by evidence and that's what I'm going to stick to at this moment.
Very well said!

Reviewer score
Would recommend
Very nice hotel in great location
Walking distance to everything. Quiet. Very nice small room, provides everything you need. It was very clean.
Fabuous hotel
I read many reviews before selecting this hotel, and I was not disappointed. We got a great deal for 4 nights, and when I returned a few weeks later, I also got a good deal. The location couldn't have been better, the personnel were friendly,
and the breakfast buffet was awesome!
Don't miss the memorial to the victims of the 2004 terrorist attack in the Atocha train station.
Everything great but the hard bed
Very nice hotel on the Gran Via. Didn't face the street so was nice and quiet. The room was comfortable, except the bed. Air Conditioning worked fine. The bed was so hard that when I sat on it, it didn't give. I might as well have slept on
the floor.
Perfect for the price
Great hotel for the price. Staff was very helpful in making reservations for us.
The location was great. Close to everything, shopping, museum, Puerta de sol(big place) and restaurants.
Great value for a convenient location
The plus: Clean rooms, modern newly done look in the lobby and rooms, very friendly staff, central location(walking distance to city center and next to the metro).
The minus: Just a few blocks from the hotel that part of town is not the greatest
(not really dangerous, but requires awareness...)
Overall, great experience for a convenient stay.
Villa Reina nice hotel
I just used to hotel to sleep in at night. The location was great and allowed for several rest stops during the hot days, if needed. The elevator was way cool. I didn't like that my room's only window was to a very small courtyard, but that's ok.
Light was hard to come by, but I made do. The free wi-fi was a nice addition, but it was a little slow and quirky at times. All in all, I liked the hotel.
Great location and good hotel...
This hotel has a perfect location for Madrid, just some meters far from Gran Via subway station (where you can easily connect to all the subway stations and even get to Barajas airport); just a 15 minutes walk from Plaza de Espana, Puerta del Sol,
etc.; and in one of the most important avenues of the city and close to other important and traditional avenues. The bathroom was quite big and comfortable considering the average size for European hotels and the room was very clean and comfortable too. Maybe the only thing missing was a desk or table inside the room, but generally speaking the rooms are very good. I think that considering the location and the relation price/service, this is a very good choice in Madrid.
The "Madrid Vision" touristic buses have 3 stops in the Gran Via, one of the stops quite close to the hotel so you can easily start and finish your daily tours close to the hotel.
a fine, centrally located hotel
well done, good location, good, friendly staff
good, nearby restaurant variety
We loved this hotel and would definitely stay again. The location is perfect and within walking distance to everything! Nice area, super convenient. Staff was great from the start- room was perfect. Great amenities and perks! We love Villa de
la Reina!
