15 Chicks... PNW Ladies Ride 2013
Day One
With a late start as usual for me I loaded up and went north to grab my friend
. We were both lucky to get out of work a day early!
Not a cloud in the sky the sun was already heating things up.
My ride is a custom low rider 2011 DRZ 400 with most of my things stuffed in to a Giant Loop Great Basin. She has the DR 200 and also a GL Great Basin.
We avoided the cluster fk traffic in Sisters went west up in to the Cascades to find some dirt and shade under the pines!
Then some fast slab to Detroit for a gas and lunch stop. It was so hot by this time my big bag of trail mix had turned into a gooey chocolate mess, but I just dug in with both hands anyway!
That was a pretty sweet spot up above the lake but like I said it was "SO HOT!" The riding gear came off and we hot footed it down by the boats and jumped in off the dock! The water felt great but with many more miles ahead we took off back into the woods. Wet clothes under riding gear makes for great air conditioning at high speed!

Occupy Protests New England Walmarts on Black Friday
By Pat Bradley
Occupy protesters in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont joined others across the nation in Black Friday pickets at Walmart stores.
In New Hampshire, groups demonstrated in Somersworth, Manchester, Derry, Salem and other locations to take issue with wages, benefits and treatment of employees of the world's largest retailer.
In Ellsworth, one of the Maine communities where protesters appeared, about 15 activists near the city's Walmart Supercenter held signs with slogans such as "Support the strike!" and "Boycott Black Friday!"
In Williston, Vt., Walmart shoppers were greeted by about 20 protesters Friday morning. Police relocated the protesters off of the Wal-Mart property.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 nights
This is the perfect 'Home Away from Home' in Charleston. Located within the 'Historical District' of this river bound peninsula town, you will be able to easily walk to all its treasured sites. This 'Romantic Hideaway' is on the second floor of a traditional porch fronted Charleston home on a very quiet residential street, exactly across from one of the most beautiful and the most expensive Antebellum Mansion in all of Charleston. The 20'x 15' livingroom has two fireplaces and opens to the front porch (Piazza) with seating for dining, relaxing and a hammock for the occasional nap. The large kitchen is newly renovated with stainless steel appliances, marble floors, granite countertops and includes a washer and dryer. An oversized jetted soaking tub and separate glass block shower star in the bathroom reached through the charming bedroom. Chandeliers or plantation palm frond ceiling fans are everywhere. There is a double sized loft bed for extra sleeping. There is a second spacious bedroom with a queen sized bed and Sunny sitting area and a third bedroom with two twin beds for a total of five beds which could accommodate up to seven people.
Spacious and comfortable! Morning coffee and afternoon cocktails outside on the front deck. Perfectly roomy with 3 bedrooms + loft. Nice kitchen. Superb location!! We walked everywhere, except we got a ride a few times when it was cold. (We used the 'Uber' app on the cell phone to set up a super convenient taxi ride.) Close to town for shopping, bars and restaurants. Didn't need a rental car. The tour company picked us up at the apartment to take us to the Plantation Tour, which was really really great!
We had a terrific 4 night stay in this nicely decorated, immaculate older home in the beautiful neighborhood a few minutes walk from downtown. Everything about the rental went smoothly. Exploring Charleston's sights, environs, and food was such great fun. This unit is quite spacious and the kitchen and bathrooms are superlative.
It was cozy, spacious, and delightful! We were able to walk to many points of interest and loved strolling the quaint neighborhood. The owner was so kind and prompt with replies from questions we asked. You will thoroughly enjoy your stay here!
The apartment was just as advertised and perfect for the two of us. The location provided access to downtown, and was a short drive to most of the things we were anxious to do In Charleston. If we were younger with more ambition we could have easily walked to downtown. We didn't use the kitchen facilities very much but everything that you basically needed seemed to be in place. The neighborhood was quiet and the off street parking very much a plus. It was still quite hot when we got there but then a cold snap put the temperature in the 40's. We can say that both the heating and cooling system worked fine.
Very satisfied with apartment. Met all my expectations. Was clean and had everything needed to cook your own meals rather than having to go out to eat every day. Porch was very relaxing and comfortable. Apartment is in a house that is about a hundred years old, but if you wish to be in this part of Charleston everything is about that age. Excellent place for bikers, city is very biker friendly. Shopping is within walking distance, but probably only if you are a city dweller and used to walking in the first place. I would, and may, stay there again in the future.
Our family had a great time enjoying this property in Charleston. Loved the large and open living room area and spent a lot of time on the piazza enjoying the view of the majestic home across the street. The master bed and loft bed were so comfortable we didn't want to get out of bed most mornings!! Convenient to all Charleston has to offer!! Just needed some measuring spoons and measuring cups in the kitchen for this amateur chef. We would come back here without hesitation!!!!
The historic peninsula city of Charleston, South Carolina is without a doubt the most beautiful of all the towns and cities in the United States. Cobbled Streets, Antebellum Mansions whispering charm, wide covered porches (called Piazza's in this Southern land), flowering fragrant gardens, sidewalks rimmed with jasmine, horse drawn carriages, a college campus draped in Spanish moss and the secrets of the past, ....Charleston has it all...and this home away from home for you is in the middle of it all...across the street from one of the most beautiful (and THE most expensive) mansion in town, an easy and delightful stroll to any and everything you might want to see: Downtown shopping, historical mansions, The Battery, White Point Gardens, Colonial Lake, The College of Charleston, The Medical University of South Carolina, some of the best restaurants in the entire nation.... Park your car in the driveway and start walking about - you will find no reason to drive anywhere

Astilbe, first time trying, care?
I am planting Astilbe for the first time. Many people I talk to in my area tell me they have not had good luck with them. The web sites say they are easy to grow. Any words of wisdom. Thanks Bob
Hi, Bob. They are easy, but need moisture, lots of it, to thrive. I've grown them in sun and shade but always in a low-lying part of my gardens.
It doesn't take much hot dry summer weather to dry out an astilbe, and once the foliage browns up it won't come back that season. (I've had the plants return the following spring, but not always)
So, if you have a spot that stays reliably moist, they're dead easy to grow. Or if you're diligent about watering, you should be fine as well. Good luck!
I grow astilbe here both in shade and in full sun. I don't do supplemental waterings - they get watered when it rains and they do just fine; bloom well on nice foliage. So, despite our differences in plant care, astilbes are not difficult.
Granted, mine are old and extremely well established. If I were just putting them in, they'd get the appropriate attention until they settled in.
It all depends on where you are located, what kind of summer weather you have, and what conditions you plant them in. Hot summer in well draining soil which doesn't retain moisture and in full sun = death. Cool maritime summer with half decent soil + mulch and in full sun = thriving Astilbe. Hot summer in shade but bright light and consistently moist soil + mulch = living and possibly thriving Astilbe.
The bigger the plant, the better the chance too. I have never had an Astilbe die but I live along the Atlantic, have amended the soil to become moisture retentive, and I mulch. Over 50% were planted in full sun, some started from seed. Rarely have I watered, but I watch to make sure we get one inch of rain per week if new plants are put in. If they are established plants, not a worry - they can take a bit.
But if you are inland where summers get hot and dry, then you have to be strategic. Shade/dappled shade, moisture retentive soil, mulch, and a hose close by...
Not much I can add to what's already been said except my mature astilbes in part shade/dappled sun, good soil with thick mulch over the top turned to crispy, dry skeletons in last summer's terrible drought. Not a single drop of rain fell from June to October--didn't even have a thunderstorm the whole summer--but I crossed my fingers and set terra cotta plant nannies in the soil close to the base of the plants. I was very happy to see them come up again this year, lush and full and sending up flower spikes. The previous growing season had been an extremely wet one so maybe they were just healthy enough to survive the drought.
Astilbe is one of those perennials that is always disappointing the first year or even two, but from then on they are great. Here they do best in mostly shade to partial sun with regular water. No rain here from May to October is normal so we always must provide summer water. Al
I appreciate all this great information. I now understand why two of my astilbes have not come back after they missed their waterings (due to a poorly working sprinker head, which is now repaired). The leaves dried up and although the base and stems are green, they are basically bald.
I also live in Northern Nevada where there is zilch in humidity, and summers can get hot around late July and August. Although they are planted in a mostly shaded area, I think mulching will help. I will also add moisture retainers to the soil as well. I love astilbe,so I will give my plants every chance to do well.
Wonder where you are? If "many people" not having success, maybe there is something about the area that makes them more challenging (soil, weather).
To reiterate points above, in my yard, zone 4 upper midwest with hot, windy summers, full shade in very well drained soil they burned more often than not and never thrived.
Mine do best in the shade. All the posts are right, they have to stay moist, especially when young. I've dried out a few of them when they were young and not well established. Since shade lovers are hard to find, they make a perfect choice for my partly shaded spot, along with my columbines and foxgloves, speaking of which, were absolutely gorgeous this year, probably due in part to all the rain.
LizM12 - there's no need to do anything once the flowers have finished. I leave the flowers on mine right through the season. While they aren't especially appealing in looks, I leave them for the birds or other critters that may eat the seeds.
Mine is a low-maintenance garden so if it can be left to its own devices, I do. If I want to grow more plants from seed via winter sowing, I harvest the seed heads and crush them in the fall before sowing them in late winter.
If you can envision this without the violets and weeds and with the hosta, ferns, and heuchera (some of which remain, but aren't visible), the astilbe look great in this bed. Sadly, the Galloping Gardeners have trampled and dug out most of the space in their quest for squirrels and chipmunks. Still, the astilbe persists. Good luck with yours. When they work, they are spectacular.
Once they have finished flowering, I cut the seed heads off to tidy up the plants. I have lots of other seeds for the birds to eat, and since my astilbes are up near the house in mostly shade, the birds don't tend to go there anyway. I find them extremely easy to grow, as long as they don't dry out. To flower well, astilbes need to be divided every so often, and replanted in enriched soil. The roots tend to get crowded over time, and flowering may decrease. I don't fertilize mine, but they would probably flower better if I did.

"Even before there's a verdict in this case, and regardless of what the verdict is, people in Silicon Valley are now talking," said Kelly Dermody, managing partner at Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, who chairs the San Francisco law firm's employment practice group.
"People are second-guessing and questioning whether there are exclusionary practices [and] everyday subtle acts of exclusion that collectively limit women's ability to succeed or even to compete for the best opportunities. And that's an incredibly positive impact."
Which people? I'm in Silicon Valley, unlike people who work in San Francisco.
Actually I have been an IT contractor for a school district, that was my third job. But back then $128K could buy a lot of ARCnet adapters and NetWare licenses.
Good old reliable tape. None of this fancy random access hard disk garbage that fails all the time, or complicated wear leveling flash nonsense.
Maybe something like core memory or bubble memory if I need some random access behavior.
I hear it's down to a penny per bit, only around 1200 megabucks for 10 gigabytes of Core memory.
But is the data even worth $128K? It's not like schools don't already annoy parents with redundant requests and useless information. Having everyone register for school again would at least allow attendance to happen.
So their only copy of the student roster is gone? they can't even take attendance? they don't have back-ups?
Surely this is a problem that can be solved with money, and significantly less than $128K. (the point of my original post, I wasn't suggesting we actually replace all the computers, just that the ransom seemed a bit high)
And why would the NSA potentially reveal the techniques just to capture some crooks? That classified information is surely worth more than the $128K. If it were up to the NSA, they would just pay the ransom and focus on finding terrorists instead.
Maybe 200-500 computers. Is the ransom higher than what it would cost to replace everything? (maybe not enough to replace them with Macs, but Linux and Chromebooks are possible). How many computers does a district with 1700 students really need to get the basics done?
Just seems like a steep ransom to me. Especially since if I replaced all the computers, the old equipment is worth something and I could probably auction it off.
The data is gone if you don't pay the ransom (or crack the encryption). Sadly I don't have a way to resolve that problem, other than to start over again and hopefully anything important has backups. (ideally in a form that doesn't spread infection)
I totally agree with you. I honestly don't know where the $100k number comes from or why it was mentioned. Other than maybe to convince all of us to watch the video.
well a war is $1T, so this $100k could have helped 0.00001% as many people as spending war money better could have.
I think you have bigger fish to fry, so you can hop to it now if you actually give a shit.
This $100k astroturf project was money well spent in that their effort got me to watch 5 minutes of it. The film is crap obviously, and it's only viral because of the media attention it received. (does that make it not really viral?)
I wish the behind the scenes video covered how the PR campaign worked and how journalists were contacted, I would have found that level of detail very useful indeed.
I will take my business elsewhere, and so will a lot of other people.
We don't have to operate our society as a free market experiment if we don't want to. We're not really setup to live some kind of libertarian utopia, so what you suggest isn't going to work well without an overhaul of our system. Luckily there is already a system in place that has mostly worked well for modern society, so maybe we should use it.
We operate a representative democracy that [theoretically] answers to the people, and has a long history of actively preventing a tyranny of the majority by offering some protection to minority view points. (minority in the most general sense of the word). A community can assert certain standards of behavior from individuals if those standards do not illegal and ideally are not unethical.
You can interpret this as the government taking away your "rights", and get upset about the restriction. I prefer to view this as all of us collectively agreeing to some limitations on individuals in order to operate a desirable society. (agreeing, but not unanimously, and not necessarily formally)
I'm not sure how we romanticized each of us living as a rugged individual that answers to no one. King of our castle, and master of our domain.
I choose to live among other human beings and seek ways to coexist with them.
Is there not room for multiple viewpoints, or is there only one right answer?
If we choose freedom and liberty, but can see the potential to trigger for a major escalation of armed conflict are we remiss in discussing alternatives or in failing to choose to discuss those alternatives?
During hurricanes and floods the grocery store could choose to sell to the blonde and blue-eyed families first.
Doesn't seem like you have to have any hard rules, you can change why you refuse people service whenever you'd like without any announcement.
So if someone you knew liked doing 12 year old boys, you'd be happy as punch to serve them eh?
If I were serving prison lunches, yes. If not, then I'd wonder why they aren't in prison.
The universe seems neither benign nor hostile, merely indifferent. -- Sagan

I'm new to servlets and JSP and I'm trying to discover forms, and how to make my own web form. I know HTML but and I see examples for using HTML tags in the servlets, but isn't there a more higher level way to just say "Make a form here, make a table there" without getting my hands dirty with HTML tags?
I want to build a war file and drop it on my jboss/tomcat server for testing. Then when its ready to go, I want to be able to distribute that war file and for it to be plug and play.
The end goal is to have a web site with some interaction (dropdowns, text fields) and some graphs that are drawn based on the user inputs.
Sorry so vague, I need some direction in the Java GUI department.

Hi chitownladyd-We have already assigned partner's for this month. During the middle of this month I'll post a new thread for sign ups for next month. We don't always do the same swaps every month. Our group is primarily a plant, bulb, seed and anything relating to gardening swap. You are more than welcome to sign up for December so keep an eye out for the new listing.
Thanks for your interest in CPG
Good for you being so organized. My gazebo is full of rooted cuttings (mostly shrubs) that need planting. I just cannot seem to get it together... and the daffodils (100 bulbs) need planting, and the cannas that I divided need replanting.... I am just not ready, and it seems to have gotten cold too fast! brrrrr
sassyd please send me your address! I will send you mine!
Frances-Sometimes I'm organized and sometimes I'm not.LOL We've already had quite a few freezes and I've put off all kinds of yard work. I still have to take my Caladium bulbs out of their containers and box them up for the winter. Our attic gets to cold and we don't have a basement so I take them to my DD's and put them in her attic.
Monica-How are you doing??
Hi Mariann!!!
I'm running around trying to get my tender plants put up, cleaning the garden and planting the awesome bulbs you sent me :) But I just love all of it, specially the digging! My husband and I took the kids trick or treating and they had a great time. It was my 4 year old's first time and my 10 year old's second.
I must have gotten too cold, because now I have a bit of a cold (which I'm using as an excuse to eat some of their candy, LOL)
Over all, I'm doing pretty good :)
I hope you're having a restful time before the holliday rush begins and that you're enjoing the fall. Right now our the trees are hitting their peak of color and it's just beautiful outside!
I'll stop rambling now so I can go get some cold medicine and some tea.
Karen and Louise I have your address so there is no need to send them, please let me know if you don't have mine. I'm gonna go through my seeds and start picking some out for both of you.
I will split some packs I just got from Thomson and Morgan with you so I hope you don't mind if there are only a few of some of them.
have a great day everyone
Fran-Your seeds went in the mail on Tuesday. I sent them 1st class and because the pkg. wasn't thick enough no DC#.
Monica-Take care of that cold! Kids get so excited when Halloween rolls around.
Our stove/oven broke down last weekend. We lucked out buying a used one. My DH and SIL picked it up in my DD's Jeep. Luckily our SIL is an Electrician so he was able to hook it up. Now we have our old stove sitting in the back yard. We'll be recycling it this Saturday.
I got my packages out today, they were thickenough for the DC#
kalena 0308 2040 0001 8762 2614
esiuol 0308 2040 0001 8762 2621
I didn't send a hugh quantity of seeds but I think they are ones you will rilly like.
as for things I'm looking for right now....mostly looking for good seeds to start in my Aerogardens, annuals or tropicals that are less than 18" tall, flowering, or trailing.
thanks and have a great day
I received Fran's seeds today. Fran you sent me a very nice selection!
White Hyacinth Bean
Purple Hyacinth Bean
Ascepias incarnata
Ageratum Blue
Drumstick Allium
Lychinis coronaria
Browalia Blue Bells
Adenophora lilifolia
Hibiscus-Blue Polka Dot
Thanks so much Fran. Every year I plant a few climbing annuals in my veggie garden. Next year it will be Hyacinth Bean Vines and when I see them I will think of you.
This is the first year I grew them Mariann, I had had MY seeds since 2003 I kept putting it off. But finally decided to try them this year. I am so glad I did. The purple ones turned out to be so pretty, they have pink blooms and colored leaves. Can't appreciate them until you actually grow them!
I really hope you are happy with what I sent you.
:) Fran
Hi Everyone!!
First I want to tell Deb that I'm so sorry for your mother unexpected death. I will keep her in my prayers. Many huggs to you and your family.
Sencond, has anyone heard from Sue. I e-mailed her last weekend, but haven't gotten a response.
Hi Everyone!
Very sorry to hear about your Mom, please take care of yourself.
I love the hyacinth beans too! they are very pretty and they smell so good too! I grew them for the fist time this year, they are still blooming like mad!
I have still not heard from Sassyd either.
Have a wonderful day everyone!
Monica-Email Sue again and if you don't hear from her let me know and I'll try.
Frances-Email Sassy she may have forgotten to check over here. She hasn't been posting much.
Fran-Forgot to tell you that I love Nasturtiums! They are pretty tasty in a salad too.
MAriann, I posted SOMEWHERE the list of seeds you send me, but they are gone! I don't know what happened!
I have already mixed them with the other seeds. Now I have to redo it...AUGHHHH!
Zinnia 'Peppermint Stick'
Adenophora hybrida 'Amethyst'
Digitalis parviflora-(c) Milk Chocolate Foxglove
Echinacea purpurea 'Ruby Giant'
Malva sylvestris 'Mystic Merlin'-(c) Mallow
She sent me these extras:
Calendula 'Pink Surprise'
Cosmos 'Picotee'
Prunella 'Pagoda'
Sunflower 'Pastiche'
Tricytrtus hirta 'White Towers'
Zinnia 'Persian Carpet'
Thank you so much. I am so please with them.
:) Fran
Fran-Glad your seeds arrived.
Frances-I emailed sassy. I'm worried about her too.
Is anyone planning on winter sowing??? The first year I did this I had 50+ different types of seeds. Last year only about 15 or so. My problem is that I WS so many seeds but have no place to put the plants.LOL
Hope everyone had a good weekend
Hi everyone!
Frances and Mariann....I'm here finally! lol Sorry to worry you girls but everything is fine, we've been out of town since Thursday and Frances, I don't know where your emails went but hun they're not in my in-box or spam. Anyway, let me try emailing you this time. I'm so sorry, I certainly didn't mean to be slack. DH came in and swept me away on Thursday and I haven't had internet. (I really have to ask for a laptop from Santa *wink*) LOL, yeah right, last year I asked for a TIVO and got a dvd player:(
lol Sassy
If you have "Santa's" ear let him know I would like a laptop too.... ha ha ha BTW we got a DVR from the cable company and I cannot imagine how we ever got along without one!!! Much better than a VCR, no tapes, no programming.... and usually NO commercials! Glad to hear that you are all right and were just off adventuring, sounds like great fun!
will check the email
I tried wintersowing last year and will probably do some again this year. It was fun and I have some lovely new plants because of it, but like you I started too many seeds! This year I have a plan!
Have a great day everyone
I totally love winter sowing! My problem last year was running out of containers. I do very well with it. It's later in the year when it gets hot and dry that "does in" the plants. They are happy with the winter temperatures. Can't blame them - big difference between our winter temperatures and our summer temperatures!
There is a winter sowing board on GardenWeb if anyone is not familiar with it.
Have a good week!
Jeanne-I purchased 40 containers from ShopRite (wholesale) several years ago. They are the clear plastic cake containers. The containers are about 5 1/2-6" tall and have an attached lid. Unfortunately I could only use them for one season. The assistant manager sold them to me for 10 cents each. The manager told me, the next time I came in for more, that the assistant manager under charged me. But he was still willing to charge me 10 cents. I have a few of these left and I use them for propagation. They're great! The first time I WS'd I used the WS forum a lot.
Frances-LOL I had so many plants the first year I didn't know what to do with them. I eventually turned 2 of my veggie beds into holding beds for plants. I'm not sure if I'm going to WS this year or not.
Hi everyone!
Frances, I just had to thank you! They're coming Tuesday to install my dvr!!!! I'm so excited and I thank you! I can't believe I haven't checked into it before, for some reason I thought it was really expenxive. Duh!!! I can definitely live with this.
Also, I'm getting your seeds together for you, hope you like what I choose:)
Hi Everyone!!!
I mailed out my envelope to Sue yeasterday DC # 0306 2400 0001 1432 8732. I hope you like what I sent :)
I wanted a dvr for awhile as well, but my husband being the gadget junkie that he is found a way to get the desktop computer hooked up to the cable and now I use it to record all of the shows I don't have time to watch, and can still be used like any other computer, plus it's free!
Just don't ask me how it works since I have no idea :)
I hope everyone has a great weekend!!
LOL Frances! Well you got that right.......I AM a nut!
I'm so looking forward to getting it hooked up:))
Monica I sure wish my dh wasn't electronically confused? lol He's mild natured until he sits in front of the computer and it doesn't immediately do what he wants! I'm serious, the man has NO temper at all until he sits in front of a computer! lol I'm always like....calm down I'll fix it! Its so funny.
I'd love to have a DVR but we don't have a cable ready TV. There are so many wires connecting everything you'd think the whole mess could get up and walk around. My DH is also one of those people who doesn't have a clue about electronics. He can barely get to his email. He has just about mastered the remote control to the digital box connected to the TV. We've only had it for 4-5 years.LOL
well I for one will also admit to being a nut, I don't have a DVR but I do have netflix and love themovies and tv shows that show up in the mail. but unless I wait till the boys are a sleep before I watch them it can take me 4 or 5 house to finish one movie.
I got my envie from Louise yesterday, she sent several (new for me) coriopsis, 2 great coneflowers , lime and ruby. and some rilly nice snapdragons. and she also sent a pritty note pad and pen.
thank you very much for the seeds I rilly like them all, and I can never have enough note pads.
I have moved many so call "annuals" into the basement greenhouse, most were free from the local vegie market/nursery when they gave up on selling them, I now have geraniums, flowering maples, several kinds of
fushias(SP?) and buganvillas all starting to bloom. I had several New Guinnea impations that were blooming but I decided to trim them back to goive them a more compacked shape.
of the plants I got from the cutting swap a few months ago, most of the begonias are rooted and sending out new leafs esp the dragon wing I got from Mariann it is growing like a weed. unfortunently the camillias didn't take but I have several shrimp plants, goldfish plants, bunches of 3 diffrent wandering jews, feusias, coleus, azelas are doing good, and the gardineas are all doing great I still have 2 in the aerogardens and one in a pot. thanks for all the trades this year, HUGGGS
thanks a bunch
Hello! I hope everyone is doing well!
Michelle, Thank You so much for your seeds and hand-knitted bag. Its beautiful! Some of the seeds I recieved were Dianthus 'Sooty', Agastache 'Apricot Sprite', Penstemon, both purple and pink, purple columbine and clematis, well, I'll just list them all (lol) Candytuft 'Fairy Mix', Wild Carnation, and Rudbeckia 'Cherokee Sunset', and also a nice card & note! I'm really eager to get these wintersown, especially the Penstemons! I'm sorry it took me so long to post that I received your fabulous envie, and I will be getting yours out by the week end.
Have a great day everyone!
Frances, I thought it was funny! lol And soooo true!
I'm getting your seeds together, was hoping to get them out today but did't. I'm thinking I better regroup. But they'll be out shortly I promise. They're coming tommorrow to install my dvr! Whoopie, I can't wait! I'm cleaning like a mad dog, jeez how does it get so dusty back there? Yikes:( I'm so embarrassed!
I have a mad migrane going on, I'm sure from the dust, lol.
Have a good nite all.
ha ha ha ha
Sassy I am so glad it was 'behind the TV' that was dusty! I am going to be chuckling over that for a while! I still have not made it to the post office either, really slacking this month, but I should get it out tomorrow. Its been chilly the past few days and today I dragged 2 big potted hibiscus indoors, I just can't stand to lose them yet and temperatuures are supposed to drop down into the 20's,
I guess I must be a NUT too! I'll just have to drag them back outside in the morning!
I received the most wonderful assortment from Monica. I'll be sending hers out soon!
I received:
Japanese Morning Glory purple w/white edge
Japanese Morning Glory Hatsu Arushi
Morning Glory Cameo elegance/chocolate silk mix
Morning Glory Kniola's black knight

I'll have to admit I've let the month get the better of me, but I have your seed package ready and will have them out by Tuesday, I promise. I have Kenzie tonight and tommorrow so it may be Tues. I'm so sorry, I can't believe I let the month run away from me like this.
Mariann & Michelle please don't give up on me, I'm just running late.
Mariann, girl I love that thing! I can't believe I've been without one all this time.

Chicago Botanic Garden Seed Swap Feb 24th
Hi all. I have loved participating the the Chicago area plant swap for the past several years and seeing so many of the GW WSers there. I just caught wind of the Chicago Botanic Garden seed swap that's next month and I was wondering if anyone planned to attend. I spoke with the woman coordinating the event and learned that it's the second year. Was anyone there last year who could give some report of the event?
I drive past the Chicago Botanic Garden on my way up to Milwaukee to visit my sister and I keep saying I'm going to stop in one of these days, but I always tend to be up that way in the winter. I will be going up Feb 17...missed the swap by 1 week. :( If the swap were only 1 week earlier, I'd drive back down for the afternoon.

Interview with a sound editor: The art of the real
Jen Ralston is a sound editor for film and television, with credits on everything from The Big Lebowski, to Hedwig and the Angry Inch, to David Simon's HBO series The Wire and Treme. While a lot of her work involves creating sounds to match the action we see on the screen, her work also sends her out into the field to make sure all the sonic details of a place are as realistic as possible.
Ralston met up with KALW's Julie Caine to talk about the work she did to bring post-Katrina New Orleans alive in the show Treme.
Jen Ralston: Some people told me that as people were returning to the city, if it was a neighborhood where only one or two people returned, the people in those houses would make it a point to be as loud as possible. As if they were almost trying to assert that there is life in this block, and if you're looking for something to steal, or looking to make trouble, there are people here. So everybody had a dog that was very jumpy and would bark at anything that moved because there were very few things moving, and everybody that was home had a generator and a radio playing and a TV or music-- they were just making as much noise as possible to sort of assert their territory.

Lawyers Group Backs High Court Ruling on Definition of Capital
Newspaper article Manila Bulletin , August 21, 2011
Antitrust Law
Article excerpt
MANILA, Philippines - The Young Lawyers in Support of Anti-Trust Law (YLSAT) expressed support on the Supreme Court's ruling on foreign ownership which defines capital as being both voting and non-voting shares.YLSAT believes the negative impact of the Supreme Court ruling on Philippine Long Distance and Telephone Company's alleged violation of the Philippine Constitution's limitation on foreign ownership is over blown."We have talked to some businessmen and most of them have factored in the mandate of the Constitution's cap on foreign ownership," said Atty. Francis Aguilar, one of the YLSAT group members.He noted that 'what they are complaining about are not the fundamental laws but the changing rules and regulations.'The fundamental laws of the land that (1) safeguard the operation of public utilities and protect national security and in another aspect, (2) promote public interest by banning monopolies constitute state policy that is universally adhered to in most countries, said Aguilar.In the Philippines, the former falls under Section 11, Article XII of the Constitution and the latter, under Section 19, Article XII."If a foreign-owned company attempts to gain monopoly/control or a strategic public utility is unchecked, national security is at stake," Aguilar pointed out. …

Not knowing whether "Anne" had suffered a heart attack or been waylaid by a criminal, central Ohio families packed COSI Columbus yesterday to ask her if she was OK.
Anne was oblivious to the attention. She is, after all, a resuscitation dummy.
The Columbus Division of Fire's EMS and Safety Day kicked off EMS Week, a national awareness effort designed to tune communities into the challenges that their emergency medical-service workers face.
Above all, they'd like Columbus-area residents to learn how to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation by using learning aids such as "Resusci Anne."
"There's a great connection to early CPR and survival," said Dr. David Keseg, medical director for the Columbus Division of Fire, which was the host of the COSI event. "People who know CPR and use it before we get there provide a bridge of survival" to people who need medical help.
Keseg said Columbus' patient-survival rate would improve if more people knew CPR, but he noted that the city already has more people making it out of hospitals alive than many other communities do.
Columbus patients who received CPR from bystanders had a survival rate of 43 percent, 8 percentage points above the national average.
Nationally, 26 percent of people transported by EMS make it to a hospital alive, according to data from the Cardiac Arrest Registry to Enhance Survival, a partnership between the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Emory University in Atlanta.
The data show that 32 percent of Columbus' EMS heart patients reached hospitals alive from late 2005 through 2012. Overall, 11 percent of heart patients left the hospital for home; that was about 1 percentage point higher than the national average.
"Communities with higher (patient) survival rates understand the need to collect data," said Dr. Bryan McNally, executive director of the registry and associate professor of emergency medicine at Emory University. "Collecting this type of information leads to more improvements."
Keseg said the Columbus Fire Division can break down the data it gets from the registry to show which neighborhoods have the most heart-related emergencies that receive the least help from bystanders. From there, the division has strategically organized CPR-training classes to reach certain areas.
Medical runs account for 80 to 90 percent of the fire division's runs, Keseg said.
Outside COSI, fire and EMS vehicles packed the front lawn, and a medical helicopter landed in front of the building.
Inside, kids fastened their helmets and rode bicycles to put best practices for safe bike-riding to use.
Some put on hospital gowns and received a mock trauma walk-through from medical staffers from Grant Medical Center.
Others resuscitated Anne.
Rex VanHorn of Columbus said he brought his two home-schooled sons, Xander, 7, and Joey, 5, to COSI especially for EMS and Safety Day.
"It's a good opportunity for them to practice," VanHorn said. "It makes my job as a parent much easier."
Columbus, Ohio, EMS Goal Is to Increase Use of CPR by Everyone

'Green and greedy' is the best way to sum up Om Nom, a little monster who adores sweets, and it's your job to keep him fed in Cut the Rope: Triple Treat, available for Nintendo 3DS.
This three-in-one compilation comprises the original hit, Cut the Rope, along with its sequels, Cut the Rope: Experiments and Cut the Rope: Time Travel. Across more than 650 levels, you're faced with the task of landing a sugary treat into Om Nom's mouth by cutting increasingly elaborate rope arrays. You'll need to plan your approach, and ensure good timing to get the elusive sweetie down to Om Nom so he can scoff it. As the difficulty rises, and the puzzles get more and more fiendish, you'll need to utilise floating bubbles, steam valves and teleporting portals in order to keep the little monster full.
Use your Nintendo 3DS stylus for supreme accuracy, as you tackle dozens hours of gameplay. You'll uncover Om Nom's history throughout the sequels, and there are in-game achievements to unlock, too. Make sure you grab all the collectible stars scattered throughout each level to maximise your score, then upload to the leaderboards!

With roster in place, who do the Heat dress every night?
Jul 30, 2010, 10:10 AM EDT
Pat Riley is gifted with supernatural powers. I don't know that for a fact, but it seems the most logical explanation for how the Miami Heat not only landed all three of the biggest free agents on the market, but also filled out the roster with quality players.
Now the more practical question becomes: Who do they suit up? The Heat will carry 14 or 15 players, but come opening night they can only suit up 12. Then what are the rotations?
Our own Ira Winderman took a look into this in the Sun Sentinel.
First, start with the definitive active players. Center: Joel Anthony, Zydrunas Ilgauskas. Power forward: Chris Bosh, Udonis Haslem. Small forward: LeBron James, Mike Miller. Shooting guard: Dwyane Wade, Eddie House. Point guard: Mario Chalmers, Carlos Arroyo.
The positions aren't exact, but you get the idea. And that's 10. Most coaches don't go 10 deep in a regular rotation. So who would sit of that group? Big Z and the Heat go with a small lineup off the bench?
And then what about those last two spots on the roster?
So that potentially leaves center Jamaal Magloire and forwards Juwan Howard and James Jones looking at two roster spots on game nights. The sense is Howard would not have signed and Jones would not have re-upped merely to sit in a suit on game nights.
So that could leave Magloire as the odd man out on game nights, along with second-round pick Dexter Pittman, the burly center out of Texas.
It also means guard Kenny Hasbrouck and forward Shavlik Randolph could have a training camp battle for the 15th spot on the roster. Or the Heat may carry just 14 players, leaving room for later moves.
See, there are interesting things on the Heat roster past the big three.
- Brad - Jul 30, 2010 at 10:56 AM
James Jones has to be in the rotation. He's a big guy who plays like a lesser Raja Bell – defense & 3-pointers. He'll draw assignments against Kobe & Durant so the superstars can save energy for offense.

Riley constructed a really nice squad within the limitaions of cap space. Sure they're thin up front but they could still strenghten this area in the coming seasons with MLE. What I'm most curious about is how Wade and Bron co exist on a court in troughout the season (Olympics were a different thing, I wanna see if those two, who play wafuly similar basketball mostly with the ball in their hands can co exist and stay as effective as they were)
- J. McCann - Jul 30, 2010 at 12:45 PM
In the regular season I could see them going 10 or 11 deep on the rotation, or playing matchups.
Keep in mind, some of these big guys will be winded and beat up with only a few minutes action a night.
But by the playoffs, they will know who is over the hill.

The Heat will definitely have to dress LeBron….he has proven that he can't dress himself. He needs help.

Eggplants - container or raised bed?
I have some beautiful eggplants ready to move into their long term home in the garden. (Thanks Doug and Pam!!!)
Is it best to put them into a container, or directly into a raised bed? Full sun, or some shade?
Any other eggplant advice? I've not grown them before....
Hi Elizabeth
Depending on the soil in your raised bed, you can either put them there or in a large container. I had them both ways. When the hot temperatures of the summer come they will benefit from afternoon shade.
My eggplant planted last spring is still alive and producing fruit, I have it on the raised bed near the avocado. You can also put a tomato cage to support it.
Here is a picture taken today, it is in full sun now...
Wow, I'll never grow an eggplant that size here - frost generally kills mine around Thanksgiving. Mine are usually about 3' by then.
My eggplants don't need afternoon shade, but then the heat is not quite so bad up here, especially since I am near enough to the coast that I get a few degrees' reduction in my afternoon high temps compared to inland areas. You mentioned you are coastal...you may or may not need some afternoon shade for yours.
If you keep the eggplants in containers, use big ones, preferably self-watering. (It's harder to keep a consistent soil moisture in smaller containers, and your eggplants need room to grow.) I use Earthboxes for my eggplants, but there's nothing magic about them. Any large self-watering containers would work. However, the long rectangular shape lets me put two plants in each box without crowding them, whereas a round or square container could only hold one plant unless the container were really huge.
I've never grown eggplants in a raised bed, but obviously Silvia has great luck with it! I have never tried raised beds. I have grown them in-ground and in Earthboxes, and the production is better in Earthboxes. I don't know why. (Nematodes in the ground? Better moisture control in the Earthbox? Both? I don't know.) I have also used regular containers (not self-watering) and production was much worse - that was almost certainly due to me not keeping them watered consistently enough.
Eggplants are self-pollinating (wind shaking the bloom is all that is needed, just like with tomatoes), but bees can assure good pollination. Usually it's the big bumblebees that visit eggplants. It's pretty funny to watch, because the flowers droop under their weight, and you can see the bees hanging on upside down as they collect the pollen.
You'll want to support the plants, especially once they start to make fruit - without support they can fall over or fruit-laden branches can snap off in high winds. For my eggplants, a tomato cage (yep, even the cheap cone-shaped ones) is adequate. But for 5' eggplant trees, you'd need more support! :-)

The University Honors Center is a focal point for interdisciplinary honors activities at The University of Texas at Austin.
The center offers a variety of enrichment programs for undergraduate honors students, and also supports the campus activities of selected national honor societies.
Programming for the University Honors Center is made possible through the generous support of the L.L. and Ethel E. Dean Endowment.
Each summer, the Honors Center hosts the Honors Colloquium, the university's premier recruitment event for prospective students.
Our office is located in the basement of Carothers Residence Hall at 2501 Whitis Avenue. Access to the University Honors Center is at the north entrance of the building, on the side closest to Littlefield Residence Hall.
