The Honduran city of San Pedro Sula has topped a new list of the world's most violent places on earth. Topping a list comprised exclusively of Central American cities, at least three murders are reported each day there. The majority of killings are at the hands of vicious gangs and drug cartels that operate unimpeded in a land of lawlessness, poverty and a decaying justice system.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - San Pedro Sula reports 1,218 homicides in 2012, or a rate of 3.3 murders a day. San Pedro Sula was followed by Acapulco, Mexico; Caracas, Venezuela and Distrito Central, Honduras.
Adding to the chaos and disarray is the fact that San Pedro Sula is saddled with one of South America's weakest economies. Nearly 70 percent of the population lives in abject poverty.
Many who live there turn to crime as their only source of livelihood. Others flee to the promises of a better life in the United States.
Maras or street gangs have evolved into deadly organized crime syndicates. Mexican drug traffickers have bought up land and recruit their own squads of killers.
Justice is slow, if at all. Nearly half of the country's prisoners have not been convicted and many wait years before they even get a hearing.
Others die in jailhouse stabbings, shootings or fires like the one which surged through the Comayagua prison in February 2012, trapping prisoners in their cells who were burned alive.
Police, ineffective and corrupt, have allowed gunmen to take control of slums and villages.
The list of the most violent cities was put together by the Citizen Council for Public Security, Justice and Peace, a Mexico-based think tank, using 2012 crime statistics from the western hemisphere.
The Most Violent Cities
1. San Pedro Sula, Honduras
2. Acapulco, M�xico
3. Caracas, Venezuela
4. Distrito Central, Honduras
5. Torre�n, M�xico
6. Macei�, Brazil
7. Cali, Colombia
8. Nuevo Laredo, M�xico
9. Barquisimeto, Venezuela
10. Jo�o Pessoa, Brazil
Rogue police death squads are operating with impunity across Honduras, taking the law into their own hands and acting as judge, jury and executioner.
Despite millions of dollars in U.S. aid to Honduras aimed at professionalizing the country's police, the Associated Press has learned in the past three years that Honduran prosecutors have received as many as 150 formal complaints about death squad-style killings in the capital of Tegucigalpa, and at least 50 more in the economic hub of San Pedro Sula.
Police have long been accused of operating more like assassins than law enforcement officers in Honduras, but few cases ever have been investigated.

Leaving for Palm Beach last Friday I was filled with the peace I usually get heading into a vacation. The work week is over, I have wrapped everything up at home and now I'm headed off to Florida's white sand beaches, warm ocean breezes and a week without responsibilities. I settled into my window seat, we took off and began to cruise away into paradise, headed into a deep state of bliss I pressed the recline button and.. Nothing..I pressed it again, nothing. I pushed back and pressed it, I checked it for physical defects, and again nothing. That peaceful feeling was quickly turning into agitation and I thought " I'm going to get the flight attendant to come fix this , my seat is broken!" Then a bad memory flashed accross my mind, " was I in front of the exit row?". I turned around, Blasted ! I was, I know better than this, there was nothing wrong with my seat , it was never going to recline. I was stuck here. Determined to never let that injustice occur again I decided to use at little Frugal Travel Guy Advice….
Here is where you need to make sure you are choosing the correct aircraft to avoid errors in seating charts. Our flight is on the Economy class United Airlines CanadaAir CRJ-200. Once selected Seat Guru does an amazing job of providing all kinds of information sepcific to this aircraft. here an example of the write up on this particular plane from seatguru.com:
"This aircraft type is used for short, regional routes. United has begun using this aircraft on flights between 2-3 hours as well. On board this rather narrow aircraft type, there is no audio, video, or laptop power. Most window seats on this aircraft are misaligned meaning that passengers will need to lean backwards to look from the window. Large carry on bags cannot be accommodated in the overhead compartments or under the seat. Maximum dimensions for overhead compartment is 18Lx14Wx7D. Luggage larger than this may be checked at the aircraft door.
The aircraft is noisiest at the rear."
The site then goes on to provide the seat pitch measurments which is basically the distance from one point on a seat to the exact same point on a seat in front of or behind it. It is kind of a meaurement of your "legroom" or the "personal space" you have. Rule of thumb, the more seat pitch space the better.
Then you have seat width measurements and some general seat information such as total number of seats and if they recline. Our flights seat pitch is 30.0″, width is 17.0″, and there are only 50 seats on the plane. Below this the site provides amenities icons showing the amenities such as audio,video,ac power, internet,food and infant . If you click on the amenities avalible for your flight the site provides additional information specific to your flight. Our flight , as your read above sounds pretty grim, the only amenity avalible will be food which will consist of a light snack (Peanuts or pretzles anyone?) and a drink.
Below this information is the seat map graphics. My example Flight on Seat Guru. The map includes a kep with color coded seats. In general Green is good, Yellow has some draw backs, such as; limited overhead space,changes in the placement of the tray tables, or no armrests, and finally Red indicates a poor seat. Hovering over the sead will bring up a specific explanation of the seat , its drawbacks, or its perks. The map also highlights, exit rows, blockedor standard seats, tv locations, powerports, closets, crew seats, lavatories, and the galley. You can also submit comments on any particular aircraft to aid other patrons in their pursuit of the perfect spot.
From what I learned on seat guru I was able to go back onto the United Airlines website and choose some decent seats for our flight.
From the Traveler Tips section I learned that bulk heads are separations among the plane that may divide classes or sections of the airplane. There are many reasons to want one of these seats. No one will be sitting infront of you reclining into your "seat pitch " space, or moving your tray table around spilling your drink.On some flights this actually provides extra leg room for you, or additional storage space if the bulkhead wall does not touch the floor. This info will be highlighted when you hover over these seats on a flight map.You also may actually have your personal television stores in your arm rest allowing for more personal adjustments, and my absolute favorite is the ability to lay back and put my feet up on the bulk head wall. I remember the first time I was in seat 1A, I thought I had discovered gold.

Live from CVC Central: Can't we all just get along?
If you're the manager of a veterinary practice, you probably deal with your fair share of squabbles between your employees. According to Dr. Jeff Werber, a Veterinary Economics Editorial Advisory Board member and speaker at this year's CVC Central, the issues that cause the most conflict between members are:
Scheduling. Who is scheduled when and who's covering for whom?
Job duties. Who has what responsibilities?
Advancement. When you promote one team member, you'll ruin another team member's day. Dr. Werber says you can't make everyone happy.
Raises. Despite what you think, Dr. Werber says all your team members know how much the others make.
And these are the common causes of conflict between associates:
Scheduling. Who is working when?
Cases. In a production-based environment, Dr. Werber says, it's not unusual for associates to cherry-pick cases that produce the most revenue.
Seniority. "But I've worked here longer than her."
Salary. Just like your team members, all of your associates know what the other associates earn, Dr. Werber says.
According to Dr. Werber, the key to dealing with all these issues is to keep the lines of communication open. Staff meetings are critical. Gather the gang weekly to discuss any grumblings you might be hearing about. Keep the reprimands general. The culprits will know who they are so there's no need to single them out.
If that doesn't work, hold private meetings with each employee involved and put an end to the bickering. And above all don't single out an employee for doing something wrong in front of another team member or a client.

A Beginning To Something Special
Mark Grayson is a young kid in high school who begins to develop the super powers he inherited from his father. As he begins to grow into a hero and fight crime, he meets a group of heros called the Teen Team. Invincible stops one of his high school teachers who was behind the mall bombings that were happening.
My Thoughts:
Series writer and creator Robert Kirkman (Walking Dead) does a great job introducing you to Invincible's world. The first volume is only four issues so it's quick, exciting and easy to follow. Kirkman wastes no time giving you background information on Viltrum, the home planet where Invincible's father is from. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before we find out more about Viltrum and possibly end up there.
The comic is fun especially when we see Invincible testing his powers and coming up with a costume and name. At first glance you may think that because Invincible is in high school that this is directed towards a younger audience. That's not the case as one of Invincible's first enemies is a school teacher who is strapping bombs to students and blowing up malls.
One thing I didn't like was the name of the super hero team Invincible meets. The "Teen Team" is not that catchy of a name. I don't know if Kirkman did that on purpose or was just rushing himself.
The art is by Cory Walker who is also a co-creator of the series. He has a very simplistic and cartoonish style that easily stands out from other comics. The colors are really soft on the eyes. It's not the best art style I've seen but it serves its purpose and I'm sure it will grow on me more as I continue to read the series.
I think this is the beginning of something special. This first volume just gets your feet wet while exploring Invincible's origin, seeing him engaging in his first fight and meeting a super hero team who he becomes friends with. I look forward to reading this series further to see what great things will come next.Rating: 4.5/5

Homemade drip
A new user on this site, this is my second post on this site.
Since California is in the state of drought, I was looking for ways to save water and still be as frugal as possible. I experimented with home made drip systems as you can see in attached pictures. Basic usage was to take easily available materials in the house and try to use it. I have tried systems with milk containers/yogurt containers and to-go containers that you get from many places. A small hole to container and twine threaded through it makes nice drip. Twine expands and clogs the hole, so there is no water leak and it drips slowly. Milk container has two schemes - either small drip attached for small area or soaker hose attached for larger area.
I use water collected from shower and kitchen to water my plants.
You can see more pictures at https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/104263965584664682840/albums/5994470982121057729
Great ideas! Do you also keep the water sources covered in some way? (to reduce evaporation or mosquito breeding)
The 1-gallon jug water unit might be able to achieve its goal without the drip system. Some people use it like an olla , either burying it in the ground, or leaving it on top like you did. The water will leak out of small holes to water the ground at a slow rate.
It seems like the onions are growing in something long and rectangular. Have you see the rain gutter growing system? A planter sits on top of the rain gutter and wicks up moisture to the rest of the plant.
Also, I wonder if home-made Earthboxes would be a good choice for saving water? At first, it seems like you have to fill in the water reservoir so much, but at the same time, it does seem to reduce the water that evaporates due to exposed water on the ground surface or leaf surfaces. For some plants, it also helps in that way, so that leaves don't get wilt or powdery mildew.
I have a rain barrel that is setting on the edge of my patio. Currently, I fill up a water can from the barrel and carry the water to my plants. I have kiwi vines and flowers near the rain barrel and I want to rig a slow drip hose to keep the kiwis and flowers watered without carrying it. I plan to use an old hose and make small holes it it at the appropriate location and burry it under shredded limb mulch. Has anyone tried this or have a better idea?
Hello Gardenper: I have been thinking about some how using the shower water for my garden. However problem is the the drain system of the shower is first a closed system. The only access to it is through the "clean out" cover. I don't know how to even get water from there without spilling all over the yard. Secondly at least at my house the access pipe outside the house wall is lower than my raised bed garden.
How do you take the water from the shower and kitchen to the garden?
Charlie: Yes I have set up rain barrels with slow drip system. I drilled hole near the bottom, screwed in a 3/4" faucet into it and connected a standard 1/2 black DIG brand tubing to it with slow drippers every 2 feet or so. I just got it done recently and had couple of rains since then. It seems to work.

Mastering FreeBSD and OpenBSD Securityby Yanek Korff
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
FreeBSD and OpenBSD are increasingly gaining traction in educational institutions, non-profits, and corporations worldwide because they provide significant security advantages over Linux. Although a lot can be said for the robustness, clean organization, and stability of the BSD operating systems, security is one of the main reasons system administrators use these two platforms.There are plenty of books to help you get a FreeBSD or OpenBSD system off the ground, and all of them touch on security to some extent, usually dedicating a chapter to the subject. But, as security is commonly named as the key concern for today's system administrators, a single chapter on the subject can't provide the depth of information you need to keep your systems secure.FreeBSD and OpenBSD are rife with security "building blocks" that you can put to use, and Mastering FreeBSD and OpenBSD Security shows you how. Both operating systems have kernel options and filesystem features that go well beyond traditional Unix permissions and controls. This power and flexibility is valuable, but the colossal range of possibilities need to be tackled one step at a time. This book walks you through the installation of a hardened operating system, the installation and configuration of critical services, and ongoing maintenance of your FreeBSD and OpenBSD systems.Using an application-specific approach that builds on your existing knowledge, the book provides sound technical information on FreeBSD and Open-BSD security with plenty of real-world examples to help you configure and deploy a secure system. By imparting a solid technical foundation as well as practical know-how, it enables administrators to push their server's security to the next level. Even administrators in other environments--like Linux and Solaris--can find useful paradigms to emulate.Written by security professionals with two decades of operating system experience, Mastering FreeBSD and OpenBSD Security features broad and deep explanations of how how to secure your most critical systems. Where other books on BSD systems help you achieve functionality, this book will help you more thoroughly secure your deployments.
Instead of treating security in a vacuum, our guide takes an application-specific approach that builds on the reader's knowledge of BSD from other sources. System administrators not only receive sound technical information on FreeBSD and Open-BSD security, they also get plenty of real-world examples to help them select, configure and deploy these operating systems. By describing security solutions for real-life scenarios, "Mastering FreeBSD and OpenBSD security shows readers how to apply their conceptual knowledge of BSD to their specific needs.

Michael Sam to the Jets? It's complicated
February, 10, 2014
By Rich Cimini | ESPNNewYork.com
In light of Michael Sam's announcement Sunday night, we ponder the question: Could the New York Jets draft the former Missouri defensive end?
Sam, the first openly gay NFL draft prospect, would attract major media attention wherever he plays, but it would be magnified in a market as large as New York. The Jets are only two years removed from the Tim Tebow circus, a season-long distraction that ultimately factored into the firing of general manager Mike Tannenbaum. His replacement, John Idzik, did a nice job last season of eliminating the peripheral nonsense that surrounded the franchise, keeping the focus on football.
This isn't to suggest that Idzik is close-minded and would dismiss Sam as a draftable player because of his sexual orientation, but there's a risk-reward dynamic that goes into every personnel decision. He'd have to ask himself, "Is Sam worth it?" Remember, we're not talking about a blue-chip prospect here; Sam is generally considered a middle-round talent.
The Tebow madness never subsided because the Jets kept splashing kerosene on the fire, mismanaging his role and allowing the circus to get out of control. The Sam story would dominate training camp and would spill into the regular season, but it would eventually fade away -- unless it sparks friction in the locker room and the friction becomes public. Then you're talking about a mega story.
"As far as I'm concerned, if a guy's a good teammate and he can help you win, I'd be open to anybody," Rex Ryan said in an interview with the Huffington Post last spring, shortly after NBA player Jason Collins acknowledged he's gay. "... It wouldn't bother me whatsoever."
Sam wouldn't be an ideal scheme fit for the Jets. Standing under 6-foot-2, weighing about 255 pounds, he's too small to play his college position -- defensive end -- in the Jets' 3-4 scheme. He'd have to switch to outside linebacker. It's a fairly common conversion, but there are no guarantees. Dare we mention Vernon Gholston? There are questions about whether Sam has the athleticism to play linebacker. He reportedly struggled in linebacker drills at the Senior Bowl.
Ryan generally prefers outside linebackers to be at least 6-4. There are exceptions such as Antwan Barnes, who is only 6-1, but Ryan had a history with him, going back to their days in Baltimore. Sam could be a "rush" linebacker in the Jets' scheme, allowing him to rush from his familiar three-point stance, but they already have a young, ascending player in that position -- Quinton Coples. The strongside linebacker, Calvin Pace, is an unrestricted free agent. If Pace signs elsewhere, they'd have a hole to fill, but Sam isn't a plug-and-play prospect, especially not at a new position -- a position that would require him to step outside his comfort zone.
Sam's college production (11.5 sacks last season) jumps off the page; that alone would pique the curiosity of those in the Jets' draft room. Ryan has an uncanny ability to find a player's strength and put him in a position to succeed. If he thinks Sam can be an effective pass-rusher from a three-point stance, he'd use him that way; he wouldn't ask him to cover tight ends.
Ordinarily, a player of Sam's skill set and resume would be a steal in the middle or late rounds. But for the Jets, a Tebow-scarred team with many other needs, it might be best to go in another direction.

A wonderful way for kids to experience the magic of science. The Experiment With series offers simple experiments that help children test and observe basic scientific principles. The whole family can get involved with these experiments, which are explained clearly and with the help of colorful photos.Grade 2-4-- Experiments and activities that don't quite succeed in introducing various science concepts. Many of the simpler projects, like making a cardboard model of an arm and elbow joint, are not interesting enough to excite most children; other, more involved ideas (making a periscope or an ``indoor rocket'') may intrigue some. The need for : adult help is appropriately noted. Many concepts, such as solar energy and inertia, are introduced within the text without much explanation and with no related projects. Readers learn what levers do, but not why or how they work. Gravity is discussed, but the accompanying experiment neither explains nor enlightens further.

So, who is in Illinois?
Looks like a nice response to "Who is in Michigan", so let's see who is in Illinois and compare notes. I am from Oswego, zone 5a. Plant addict also and must have all the perennials I can get my hands on......scary sometimes. Now I need to find a way to trade for more land,LOL. Going to add some edibles this year. Was in the 20's here last night. Is spring ever going to arrive?
I too am into plants...but I do better at looking and dreaming and hoping...LOL So I lurk here lots and really enjoy reading all the comments. I am near Peoria, out where it's really windy and warm at the height of summer! I think it was 19 when we walked our lab early this morn, and it's 32 right now. But it was great to see the sunshine, believe me.
I am in urban Chicago close to the lakeshore, zone 6a. I have a small city lot so not a lot of room, but that doesn't stop me from cramming in the plants, lol! My main interests are spring ephemerals (especially bulbs), gardening for bees and other pollinators, and autumn flowering plants. I also grow some edibles, especially tomatoes.
Nice to meet you fellow Illinois gardeners. We will eventually get spring. Only have a couple hyacinthins coming up. Ground still frozen in many areas. Hope we will find more Illinois gardeners to compare notes. I try to grow as many perennial to this zone as I can. Have sun gardens, shade gardens and of coarse...woodlands. Hoping to add some edible plants this year, such as potatoes, tomatoes, oninions, garlic and try my luck on thornless berry bushes.
Hello everyone, I'm from LaSalle located north of Peoria. My main plantings are roses, clematis, daylilies and hosta. Been slowly adding perennials back in the garden. I'd be interested in hearing what comes back reliably from winter. Tried a few of the big bang coreopsis last year. I'll let everyone know if they return this year.
Hi, I'm in an unincorporated area of Morrison (10 miles NE of Morrison) and am truly sick of the cold snowy weather! Where was this snow in Nov. and Dec. when we expect it? It is supposed to be spring.
I have lots of milk jugs planted with the winter-sowing method and nothing has sprouts yet. I guess I should be happy because if anything sprouted, it would have frozen by now. At least we are now out of the drought and I am hoping for a normal summer this year.
Nice to meet more Illinois gardeners. We had 19 last night, but slowly waming during the day. Sounds like snow expected for Sunday. I have not tried the winter sowing in jugs. Was wondering about the thawing and refreezing of the new growth in the jugs. Also do not want to worry about them blowing everywhere. We have 3 dogs that pretty much get to roam the back. The rest of the yards are taken up by flower gardens. When spring finally gets here....slowly...... perhaps that may be an indication that we will have a cooler summer....let's hope. A couple daffodils popping up.
Sounds as though you folks in Illinois are just as anxious for Spring as we here in cold Iowa. Ground is brown with no snow and still frozen. We are in a drought area so worried about the lack of moisture for growing. Was difficult last summer dragging hoses to keep things alive and also had water restrictions. I am sure I lost cimicifugas,ligularias, and astilbes. Spring can't come soon enough.
Thanks for the post ILdoglover. -We need an Illinois forum! I'm in Crystal Lake, just so. of the WI line. Have any of you near Peoria been to Hornbakers? It is a 3 hour drive for me but it is a fun place for plant lovers! Probably good I don't live closer.
Half our yard is still under 1-3 inches of snow but the bulbs are coming up in the warmer places in the yard. This is the first year in many that I haven's prunned the grapevines on March 15. It was just too cold and rainy. I'm holding out for a 40+ degree day.
I go to Hornbakers 3 times a year. Conversed with someone last year from near Chicago. We spoke about Thalictrum Splendide I believe. A very nice lady she was. I went to The Growing Place in Naperville for the first time last year. Combined it with a trip to the Chicago Botanical Gardens.
Hi folks: Glad we have received so many responses to our Illiniois forum. Thanks for everyone dropping by. I have been to Hornbakers. Last year was my first time in a few years.
With the tremedous amount high temperatures last summer, and lack of rain; I decided not to purchase as many plants as I usually do. I usually buy 3 or more new hostas while I am there each year. They stopped selling iris thru their internet and did away with their iris fields. Iris were marked down and placed in baskets on tables. Many baskets were already empty and many turned over.. By the time I went down, there were so many varities already sold. I decided to take a guess on them since many were not marked. The baskets were marked but not the actual iris rhizomes. So many people grabbing and tossing iris back into baskets, who knows what was what. Figured the discount price was right so I took a chance. Can not wait to see what I actually purchased.
Going to miss the iris fields in bloom. It was fun to walk thru them while they were blooming and you could pick out the ones you liked and pay for them in advance. When proper planting time came, you could go pick them up or you can pay for postage to have them mailed.
Hope to make it back this year. I have been to the Growing Place also. Sometimes can be pretty pricey on many things.
Howdy neighbors! Thanks Illinoisdoglover, for starting this thread. It's fun to see other Illinoisians posting, as well as folks from the near by states.
DH and I live "in the country" in south central Illinois on 19 wooded acres. If you are familiar with where I-57 and I-70 intersects in Effingham, we're about 13 miles south.
I've been gardening most of my adult life and, in the last 10 years, I've been growing mostly perennials, with varying degrees of success.
Right now I'm looking out of the window at a lot of wet snow coming down. We had "thundersnow" this morning (flashes of lightening) and thunder that rattled the windows. Fingers crossed we don't get the accumulation the weather guys are calling for. Dh and I are traveling to St. Louis tomorrow and that could get interesting. On the bright side, thank goodness it's not bitter cold.
Hi, I live in the Western Suburb area in Itasca. Last summer was just brutal. Even the Dayliles died back, the only thing unaffected was the butterfly weed.
Due to the budgetary constraint of having a kid, I am going to have to scale back this year and hope that we will get a decent summer.
Stuff are coming up for me about now even though I have a light dusting of snow.
Hi everyone: Looks like spring is arriving a little at a time. It has been in the 50's here the last couple days. We only have a few hyacinths and some daffodils popping up. Noticed mother natures did some damage to some of my iris. Ground thaw and refreezing really hurts. Hope this summer will not be as hot as last year so we will all have a better garden season. Hope we find a few more Illinois gardeners, perhaps we will find things we may want to trade amoungst each other. What are your favorite perennials for your zone? I am zone5a. How is your soil in your gardens? Let's compare notes.
Welcome back dirtdiver. I am about 50 miles SW of Chicago and I have absolutely wonderful rich black soil. We are fortunate to have such a probelm....LOL. Spring is just around the corner. We are patiently waiting. I am glad that are March temperatures went back to the normal though. I planted hyacinths and some minature daffs (Tete-t-tee) last year and waiting patiently to see how they do.
Any of you gardeners that live close to me , are you having a spring plant sale or do you know of any coming up? I am always looking to add more to my gardens. I hope to have one In May if everything works out ok. Do you know of any local Garden club sales coming in May?
Have you checked out any of your local hardware/lumber stores such as Lowes and have you found any good deals? I have been looking for white or yellow muscari. Anyone have some?
I am in St. Charles. We are in unincorporated.
Ditto on last year 's drought doing a number on the plants... I was afraid to water because we are on a well... never ran dry yet and didn't want to find out if that could happen.
This year looking forward to spring, I am noticing some deer and rabbit damage to the roses. I have many roses and iris and daylilies.
Worst problems are the wildlife: deer, rabbits and woodchucks as we live right next to forest preserve... also the not so wild: neighbor cats that p**p in the soil :(
Worst pest: japanese beetles on the roses.
Hi Everyone: Welcome Sc gardener. How is all the gardeners in Illinois doing? Have you been having any trouble with all the rain and flooding? Here is my latest riverbank and garden pictures. I can't even count the number of iris I lost, sure is a lot differnt then last years. Hope everyone is safe.
Illinois River is coming up fast here. We received 6 1/2 inches of rain. Spent the day taking everything out of the basement. Yet we're luckier than so many others. What water way is in your picture? Gardens beyond soaked yet surviving better than I thought it might. Things were just coming up and the only thing I'm starting to see is foliage beginning to yellow. Would help to have the trees leaf out and take a giant drink. Oh well more rain coming Sunday. Everyone take care. Do something nice for yourself tomorrow.
We have the Rock Creek running through the center of our property and it flooded big time but we built our house and gardens up on the hill so weren't affected. It was fun living in 'lake front' property for a week or two though! This has been the first real spring we have had in years with regular rain and gradually warming temps.
Everything is coming up and making us very anxious to see blooms.
I am in Cicero just west of Chicago. Small, city size lot but packed with lots of plants (no grass much to chagrin of my neighbors) mostly sun loving plants in the front including lots of natives and a woodland garden in the backyard.
Have had some lovely weather this past week but now soil has become a bit dry. I am hoping for rain but only a gentle steady one not an entire week like last month.
Hi all, late to the post here. I am from the southern tip of Il. I live in a rural setting with about a one acre yard. We started with a blank lot and I have been adding trees, shrubs and perennial flowers over the last 20 years.
We also do a little vegetable gardening.
Raining here today. I hope those of you who live near the rivers are faring well.
Jeepers! It's 49 out....and my freshly bought purchases are sitting out on the driveway shivering away...petunias, heleniums, chrys. paludosums, and even a Black Pearl pepper (ornamental)...I don't know whether to plant them or not in this chilly weather. We'd been having 78 degree days, sunny. Now this. Even had more rain (us farmers just love all this rain!!!!!!!) so things are pretty tacky out.
I grew up within hiking distance of the Illinois River so I know about the wonderful flooding that happens in the occasional spring. It WILL recede.
My irises are just starting to show color. If the ground squirrels leave my bleeding heart alone, I might get some pretty white hearts, but maybe not this year....
Hope it's warmer where you are; I'm getting my sweatshirts back out!
Sweatshirt weather for sure today! I have been hardening off my pepper and tomato plants outside for the last few days but think I will bring them inside tonight and tomorrow night just to make sure I won't lose them! It is supposed to be in the 30's the next few nights.
I really am ready for spring to get here and stay!
Illinois here as well. Find it harder than ever to check in on GW, but have been reading and posting here for over 10 years. Usually take a week off work in the spring just to play in the garden. Time my on-line purchases to arrive that week. As usual, I over-anticipated how much bed expansion, transplanting, clean-up, etc. I could get done ... and then rain for 4 days.
That was last week. Now the little babies that aren't in the ground yet are chilling out on the patio table.
I'm trying to achieve constant fragrance. This year hyacinths, certain fragrant narcissi and tulips started things off. The pansy pots get planted in March, and, I don't care what color they are, if I can't detect some sweetness, they don't come home with me. Pansy cousins in the ground, viola odorata, kick in. Purple petunias ... which don't like this cold ... came home during my garden vacation. (See comment on pansies about only coming home if fragrant.) The lilac is currently sweetening the air. Usually the dianthus Firewitch is blooming by now, but it'll be another week or two before she blooms.
One of my birthday presents this year was a Lonicera x heckrottii âÂÂGold Flameâ from White Flower Farm. It's a non-invasive, non-Japanese honeysuckle. I've read that it is both not that fragrant and that it is extremely fragrant -- which is what the Missouri Botanical garden web-site says --so we'll see. Either way the bees and hummers will be happy.
Made my first quest to the garden centers yesterday. I had a list in hand and was determined to stick to it. Didn't find one thing on my list, but I made impulse buys, lol
My favorite purchase was Summer Snow Beauty Berry. Love the look of this shrub. The online pictures do not do it justice. I just hope it holds up in the summer heat and humidity.
I also bought Wegelia 'Fine Wine' and 2 Wegelia 'Tango'. Now to get them in the ground :)
Hello neighbors. I am late to this forum. Thank you illinoisdoglover for starting this thread! Things have been hectic lately so finally have some time today.
I live in the northwest subs of Chicago in Lake County. Love gardening but never have enough time due to work, travel, family, etc. But I enjoy come to the forum from time to time and looking at the beautiful garden pictures posted here. I also have learned a lot from these forums. Wish I had more time.
Fortunately our house here in IL did not get flooded but lots of people in our town were impacted back in April. OUr hourse in MI was not so lucky and we had to replace basement carpet, etc. So happy this is over.
I love gardening even though I only started ~ 4 years ago. Mostly sun perennials. ~ 2 years ago I started visiting the Hosta and Heuchera Forums and got hooked with growing hostas and heucheras. I do not have a lot of shade area so summer is challenging for watering.
Most of my plants are still small due to the late spring. But the bulbs have been enjoying the cool spring weather. Here are a couple pictures from my front garden.
Here is Hosta Sagae, planted last fall as a sigle eye division. It has 2 eyes now and huge leaves and beautiful color. This will be one of my favorite.
Hi Illinois gardeners: How was your weather today? I woke up to 32 degrees. Is this not crazy. The wind has been a bare for the last two days. All the plants are hanging on for dear life. The bleeding hearts were the hardest hit. Hope everyone had a nice Mother's Day, if not able to celebrate Mother's day, then I hope you had a nice day!
Hi, I'm from the south side of Chicago. After last year's drought, isn't the constant rain frustrating and wonderful all at the same time. I was out weeding dandelions today and found that the soil had just the right amount of moisture (to a depth of at least eight inches) to sometimes be able to get the entire root out without breaking it off.
Chicago has had a beautiful yellow carpet of dandelions for the past few weeks. Thanks to all the rain, you can tell at a distance where there is a foreclosed or abandoned house; the dandelions have taken over the lawn. But now the seeds have started flying and any inch of bare soil will mean they have found a new home. I read on another forum how some gardeners are using tulle netting in place of floating row covers. So,I'm using it to cover soon-to-be planted areas. It will be interesting to see if the dandelion fluff will get through it.
I picked up a tiny bleeding heart plant on sale late last fall. It is absolutely breathtaking now. It must be three feet across, two feet high and loaded with blooms. If the rest of the garden responds like that, it sure will be rewarding.
It is absolutely gorgeous out and our farm fields have dried out enough to start planting corn (we are usually DONE by the end of April!). I have flowers sitting in my garage that I set out during the day if it's warm enough...maybe I'll start planting them in the ground later this morning after I help hubby fill the planter.
I bought a big pot of an unnamed hosta that is green with yellow. At the time I thought the leaves were just starting to grow and now I'm wondering if the leaves will stay 3 or 4 inches which is NOT what I'd intended.
Someone gave me a big pot of brown eyed susans, I'd imagine those could go in the ground now...But I'll probably wait to plant the verbena and geraniums (pinks and corally reds). And I bought some plant at Menards yesterday...nepeta and some white dianthus, but I can probably plant those now.
I'm starting to itch............
IâÂÂm in the northwest suburbs of Chicago, in Buffalo Grove. I have about ü acre. Not big, by most standards, but enough for me to handle (and often TOO much). I have mostly perennials, and do annuals for porch planters and to plug in here and there. I am at the point where if I want to plant something new, I have to kill something first.
Gonativegal, I see you are in Cicero. I have a friend who lives there! We often trade plants and give each other advice. He is a retiree with a very small yard, but crammed full.
Hi folks: Glad to see we are keeping this going and finding more Illinois gardeners. Hubby was out to work at 3 a.m. this morning, Monday and he had to scrape his windshield. Is it May???? Hope no one that lives close to me planted any annuals or veggies....better cover them. Now, tomorrow is suppose to be 87. Amazing. My front garden is finally drying out and recovering from the flooding, and we are suppose to have more rain and thunderstorms Thursday thru Saturday. My plants are already scared. Other parts of the gardens that were not subject to all that water actually need some rain. Go figure. Let me see some of your gardens, let's share pictures. Did anyone elses gardens flood?

Heard so much about this place. Only open October to May for local crab season. We went to the take out section. It has a great menu,cheaper prices, and tables to sit at. The main dining area is more expensive and has a dress code. It is truly worth going to. Everything on the menu is amazing. All fresh and delicious. You can even order for a delivered box anywhere in U>S>A Key Lime Pie is the best in the universe. Lots of history. Dont miss this place.

Twitter Investor Backs Celebrity-Tracking Site
Celebrities beware: Your every move beyond the gates of your home is about to be tracked -- even more so than usual.
A website called JustSpotted.com launches Tuesday that inform users where each of the 7,000 celebrities that make up its database have been seen last, anywhere in the world.
The site gets the whereabouts of celebs via a relationship with Twitter that gives it access to public tweets, which usually number 50 million a day. Proprietary technology uses "natural-language" filters to figure out which tweets pertain to celebrity sightings.
"We've been working very closely with Twitter for two years," JustSpotted founder and CEO AJ Asver said. "We're one of a handful of companies that has that sort of relationship with them."
In fact, Ron Conway, an early investor in Twitter, Facebook and Google, also has invested in JustSpotted.
To a lesser degree, Facebook and Foursquare postings also will be used by JustSpotted to ferret out celebrities.
But Asver said JustSpotted is not as Orwellian as it might seem at first blush because it operates by aggregating information that's already publicly available.
The "celebrity friendly" site is about fans making a psychological connection with their favorite celebrities rather than a physical one, he said.
Stalking, in other words, is discouraged.
"We're not asking people to change their behavior," Asver said. "The information isn't real-time enough for you to run over there and see them."
JustSpotted won't provide addresses of the whereabouts of celebrities but enough information -- like a restaurant's name, city and virtual pinpoint on a map -- for users to easily glean such information.
Beyond providing geographic locations, the site will aggregate news stories about celebs organized by their names.
"Nobody else is doing that," Asver said. "We're super excited about it."
He said he has "a huge list" of ways to monetize the site, including striking deals with celebrities to promote their movies, TV shows, concerts and the products they endorse.
"But our primary goal right now is user growth," Asver said.
Beyond Conway, other investors include Y Combinator, Avalon Ventures and Michael Birch, who founded Bebo and sold it to AOL for $800 million.

The hotel Alexandra is located very central near Tivoli, central station, town hall and the shopping mile Strøget. You can walk to a lot of place of interest or use the public transportation like we did.
Our room was very small and looked more old than retro but everything was clean and ok. That was ok for us, we used the room for sleeping only. We had luck that it wasn't too hot in Denmark because it's impossible to sleep with open windows due to the big street in front of the hotel and there is no air conditioning. Maybe you can get a room at the side facing Studiestræde and the Pumpehuset, a music venue with an open air stage.
We booked without breakfast (was not possible at expedia curiously) and bought vouchers for the breakfast buffet at the reception. It was ok for a three star hotel but expensive. Remember you are in Copenhagen. I think the most expensive small town in the world. Everything ist expensive in Copenhagen, you should not compare to the normal world. So don't think about the price of the breakfast.
The hotel is offering a voucher for the restaurant if you dispense with a cleaning of the room. But not for breakfast, of course. You should look at the towels first, it's hard to use them twice for showering. Curiously we only had 3 towels (2 big, 1 small) for 2 people.
The receptionists are very nice and except of the elevator and stairs we didn't use anything else in the hotel so there's nothing else to report.
It was a nice journey with a nice hotel. If we would return to copenhagen for a short trip, we would book again at hotel alexandra.
At the ende a note on Copenhagen: At the moment they are building a new metro line so you have a lot of building slots in the city, ruining a lot of lovely places. If you can wait some years it would be a much better experience.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- 2013 Was the year where we brought half of our rooms back to the 50's. We decorated the rooms with furniture, wallpapers, lamps and textiles like the design loving Danes did in the 50's. 2014 Is the time for moving ahead. In early March we ended the renovation of the last rooms and they will be decorated just as the design loving Danes did it in the 60's. Hotel Alexandra is perfectly situated right next to Europe's largest pedestrian street and the Tivoli Gardens. ... more less
- Reservation Options:
- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Expedia, Travelocity, Hotels.com, Booking.com, Cheap Tickets, Odigeo, TripOnline SA and Tingo so you can book your Hotel Alexandra reservations with confidence. We help millions of travelers each month to find the perfect hotel for both vacation and business trips, always with the best discounts and special offers.

I have a school library NFC card which I use to open library doors.
Is it possible to copy the contents from that NFC card to a NFC tag and use the tag
the same way?
The NFC card is Mifare Classic and has Factory default key (not sure whether it is important to mention).
If I understand correctly, I will have to crack the secret key in order to have full access to the NFC card contents
and thus be able to make NFC tags?
What methods are used for cracking this key?

Great News: Technology Has Advanced Since 1996
Back when the business of buying and selling stocks depended on human traders gathering in the same physical location — the New York Stock Exchange in lower Manhattan, for instance — a major snow storm could snarl commutes so badly that exchanges had to shut.

Layoffs Watch '12: Morgan Stanley
Morgan Stanley's roadmap to the future involves fewer humans, more machines.
In a move to repair its flagging bond-trading business, Morgan Stanley is scrambling to replace some of its well-paid bond traders with computers. The New York company is hiring programmers and technology specialists to help it trade bonds electronically and handle client orders in the hope of exploiting an expected shift in the way bonds and other fixed income products are traded. While the effort represents only a part of what the firm is doing to boost low returns in the business, the shift already has reduced the ranks of interest-rate and foreign-exchange traders on some desks by 10% to 20%. Morgan Stanley's head of interest-rate trading, Glenn Hadden, has told colleagues in recent months and that the trading floor of the future will surround a few traders with the hum of powerful machines.

My dad flew the B-24 during the war over Europe. When the planes were in his town he was able to fly it again the week before his 90th birthday.
These planes are a sight to see. Every one interested should go see these restored flying machines.
