Paramount Theatrical Production: West Side Story
It's quite possibly one of the greatest love stories ever to be told in a musical. Set in the blue-collar neighborhood of New York's Upper West Side, racial tensions run high as residents try to grind out a daily living. A turf war is being fought as the Jets, a white gang, and the Sharks, a Puerto Rican gang, battle over boundaries. In the heart of the turmoil, former Jets member Tony meets Maria at a local dance. The chemistry is instantaneous, and for a few hours, there is no race, no hatred, no barriers, just two young people in love. But Maria is the sister of Sharks' leader Bernardo, and no one is going to make it easy for Tony and Maria to escape.

National Humor Month
By Angela Verges
Guess what? April is National Humor Month. This is an ideal time to read a humorous book. I recently had the opportunity to meet author/illustrator Peter Brown at a book signing. He was funny and so are some of his picture books.
During his presentation, Peter Brown showed the audience how he drew the tiger from his book, Mr. Tiger Goes Wild. As he read the story, the kids in the audience roared and laughed along with the story. Add this to your reading list for April to see what adventures arise.
Add a bit of hilarity to your reading with another one of Peter Brown's books, Flight of The DoDo. Mr. Brown's humor begins on the first page when Penguin is pooped on by a goose flying overhead. What will happen next? Open this delightful book to find out what happens with Penguin and some of his bird friends.
One more book to add to your list of humorous reading is, Children Make Terrible Pets, again by Peter Brown. Has your child ever asked to have a pet? In this story, the author has cleverly woven together a story about a bear who wants to keep a boy as a pet.
In addition to reading humorous stories this month, you can also schedule a few fun family activities. Here are three to get you started?
1. Read a joke book.
2. Gather the family and have each person tell their favorite joke or make one up.
3. Do a silly dance, then laugh at yourself.
What are some of your favorite humorous books or family activities that add humor to your life?
Cooking is a science? Who knew!
By Angela Verges
Did you know cooking could be a science? Phineas MacGuire found this to be a fact when he had to start cooking dinner every night. Phineas is a fourth grader and the main character in the book Phineas L. MacGuire…Gets Cooking! By Frances O'Roark Dowell and Preston McDaniels. Phineas loves science, but cooking is unfamiliar territory.
When I read Phineas L. MacGuire Gets Cooking! I was reminded of times when my boys worked on science projects. Sometimes their experiments involved cooking up creations in the kitchen. Phineas' journey began when he complained about eating pizza all the time (even though it was his favorite food).
Humor is used throughout the book to develop the character of Phineas and his friends. When Phineas is told that the babysitter, Sarah, will help him cook, he is less than excited. He doesn't believe it will be time well spent. Phineas tells us that Sarah is "into" Purple and he is allergic to it.
In the story it is Phineas' friend who opens his eyes to the fact that cooking is science. She tells him that in fact, "It's chemistry." As Phineas warms up to the idea of cooking, he actually wants to prepare a dinner that will blow up.
The reader is easily drawn in to this story through quirky characters, vivid images and amusing scientific facts. No protective goggles are needed to join the wacky scientific journey of this book. After spending time with Phineas and his friends, you are sure to discover a new way of combining science and cooking.
Would you let your child incorporate science and cooking in your kitchen?
Can I hear it for the series?
by Wendy Lawrence
Early readers like their series. Actually, intermediate, advanced, and adult readers like their series. I'm a fan of No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, personally–do you have a favorite?
But I'm getting off track. We were talking about early readers. Series are great for these kids because the books become familiar. They know the characters and the general plots. They get to know the structure of the book. Kids can read a higher level of books in a series because there is so much about the book that is comfortable and familiar. In this way, series books can both stretch a reader and give them easy reading practice.
The question that I get asked by moms more than any other question is "what kind of series does your son like?" They always ask the question in the same way, which is this "What should my son/daughter read after Magic Tree House?"
So, for sure, Magic Tree House is a good place to start! I also remember my anxiety as a mom when I saw my son getting to the end of the series. What would i do next? I still feel this a little bit each time he gets near the end. But then a trip to the library always straightens me out. Here are some that he loved in his early reading days:
The Secrets of Droon – a great beginning fantasy series that has the advantage of having a lot of books to keep them busy for awhile. The books are short and fairly simple, although they can get a little dark towards the end of the series. But nothing too major.
Beastquest – This is one of those formulaic series, but it was one of the first my son read and because there are so many, it kept him busy for quite awhile. The same author has a Deep Dive series (called SeaQuest in England), and a higher-level but still beginning fantasy series called Chronicles of Avantia.
Oliver Moon is one of my favorites to recommend. It's really fun, about a boy in magic school in a world where everyone is magic. This is a great starter series.
Galactic Time Travelers is, I believe, a self-published series. We found it in a Seattle independent bookstore–or rather Great Grandma did–but I've also seen it online. I love this series because it's five books long and each book is slightly longer and more complicated than the previous one. The fifth book is about twice the length of the first one. You can practically watch your kids learning how to read as they go through this series. Plus, it's one of my son's favorites. If there's ever a lull between finishing one series and a trip to the library, he picks this one up to read again.
Hopefully that will keep your reading going for a little while, but I've got plenty more ideas where those came from! Happy reading! And if you or your young reader has a favorite series, please let us know in the comments below!
Once Upon a time
By Angela Verges
Once upon a time in a two storied house in a small subdivision near a forest, lived Dreadlocks and his Mama Bear. And thus begins my fairy tale of living with a teen bear known as Dreadlocks because of his hair style.
Did you now that February 26 is Tell a Fairy Tale Day? This is an ideal time to pull out your child's favorite tale and read it over again. There are also fairy tales waiting to be discovered by your child.
While reading an article in the Metro Parent Magazine. I discovered two interesting books – The Sock Fairy and The Knot Fairy. Have you ever begun to put away laundry only to discover mismatched or missing socks? This is the time to call on the sock fairy.
Have you ever wondered why your child wakes up with knotted hair? There may be a magical explanation. The videos below will give you a peek the two fairy tale book mentioned here.
If you're looking for an activity to celebrate Tell a Fairy Tale Day, check your local library or bookstore. In Ann Arbor, MI, Crazy Wisdom Bookstore and Tearoom will hold a "fairy tea" story time on February 19.
Turn your once upon a time into happily ever after on Tell a Fairy Tale Day – choose a fun but or activity to engage your child.
I'm Bored
By Angela Verges
Has your child ever spoken the dreadful words, I'm bored? It has happened at my house. No matter how often I respond to my boys by saying, "I can always find something for you to do," they stick to their phrase. "I'm still bored."
As a new year rolls in, I continue to encourage my boys to find ways to cure their boredom. One of my suggestions was, "find an interesting book to read." My teens looked at each other, then at me and said, "We'll find something to do."
My teens are not as excited about picture books as I am. I let them select a book of their choice to read before venturing off into other activities to relieve their boredom. As for my selection of reading, there are several books that I found entertaining. They all relate to being bored.
I'm Bored by Michael Ian Black was the first book to jump off the library shelf and into my hands. The text is simple and kid friendly. The main character doesn't think there is anything boring about being a kid. However, she has a hard time explaining that to a potato. She demonstrates all the things kids do for fun, but the potato was still bored.
Through ninja kicks and cartwheels, the main character becomes exasperated trying to convince the potato to not be bored. If your child continues to sing a chorus of "I'm bored" after reading this book, pull out another book. Bored Bill by Liz Pichon may stimulate his creative juices.
The main character in Bored Bill is a dog who is really bored, but his owner Mrs. Pickle, is never bored. Mrs. Pickle tries to convince Bill to try the things she loves like, reading, gardening and kung fu. Bill just grumbled and said he was bored.
Something happens when Bill and Mrs. Pickle go for a walk. A gust of wind sweeps them into the air and land Bill into space. You'll have to read the book to discover what happens on Bill's adventure.
A final book in my collection of must reads is Bored! Bored! Bored! By Jill Newton. This book has brilliant colors and features sea animals. Claude is a shark who doesn't want to do the things his friends are doing. When his friends don't invite him to a party, Claude has to find the thing he loves to do that will get him back into his circle of friends.
When your child shouts, "I'm bored!" give him a symphony of books to stimulate his imagination.
Happy New Year and happy book reading!
Uncles and antlers for the holiday
By Angela Verges
The Holiday season is upon us. It's the time of year where folks all around the world celebrate in their special way. At our house it is a time where aunts and uncles, cousins, grandparents and friends feast together.
My boys look forward to our Holiday gathering because they know something wacky is sure to happen. Although we don't have antlers, my family members resemble the characters in the picture book Uncles and antlers by Lisa Wheeler. This holiday themed picture book uses rhyme and counting as we are introduced to a family of wacky reindeer.
Uncle Uno had one hat. Uncle Duce who wore two wigs and bellowed out a tune, reminded me of myself singing at our annual Christmas dinner (off key). My brother could fill the role of Uncle Quint who is long and tall and shoots basketball.
Add uncles and antlers to your reading list and see if you can find any comparisons to your family. Uncle and antlers had their wacky side and so does my family. No matter how silly our family Christmas dinner becomes, it's always just right.
As I searched for more books to add to my holiday reading list, I came across Just Right for Christmas by Birdie Black. The story begins with the king buying a bright red cloth from the market. The cloth was used to make a gift for the princess. Once the gift was complete, the leftover scraps were placed outside the back door of the castle.
The story continued with someone finding the scraps and taking them home to make an item for a family member. Each time the scraps were placed outside a door and another person received a gift. By the end of the story, the smallest animal around received a gift from the last piece of red cloth.
Just Right for Christmas was a heartwarming tale of giving during the Christmas season. This book can be used to begin a discussion about the joy of giving or helping, not just during the Holidays, but at other times of the year.
The next time you get together with the uncles and antlers in your family, turn it into a wacky celebration. Make it a joyous, just right occasion.
What's on your reading list for the upcoming Holiday season?
if you could skate with a PENGUIN
by Wendy Lawrence
I have a gorgeous book for you today, a story of a girl and a penguin told entirely in whites, blues, and yellows. White mostly for the snow, blues for the penguin and the girl's snowsuit, yellows for her hat, his feet.
Title: Flora and the Penguin
Author/Illustrator: Molly Idle
Genre: Picture Book
Ages: 0 – 6 (I usually think kids need to be a little older to get books without words, but this is a story anyone, even the youngest, would love to look at.)
There are no words, and I have mixed feelings about books without words. On the one had, I love them. The illustrations tend to be powerful and emotional. The stories tend to be mixed with a certain kind of humor that can only be told without words. (Remember Flashlight and the raccoon pointing the light back at the boy?) On the other hand, when I'm "reading" them to my kids, which is clearly the wrong verb, I'm sometimes at a loss.
Do I describe the pictures? But if I do that, which sometimes I do, then I'm just writing the words myself, and that seems lame, because even though I call myself a writer, I don't think that the words I'm using would be any better than the words the author might have used and, in the end, decided not to.
Or do I remain quiet and just flip the pages, letting my mind and my son's mind wander through the story? But then sometimes he gets mad, and doesn't believe me when I say there are no words.
Or do I ask him to tell the story? Ask him what he sees? Ask him to describe?
Usually, I settle for a mix of all three. Which is probably what the authors intend. Plus, it has the added benefit of forcing interaction with the book! Which is why I started this blog in the first place! So bring it on, books that demand me to do more than think about the laundry while reciting words my brain has long since memorized!
Flora and the Penguin is a great one for this because the story is told so obviously. Also, it adds to the interactive nature of the book with tabs that your kids can flip. Flora starts ice skating, she finds a penguin. She ice skates with the penguin. The penguin disappears. She is a little sad. Penguin brings her a fish. She throws it back in the water. The penguin is a little sad. There is resolution and love in the end. It's a super sweet book with beautiful colors and lines and surprise. With the snow on its way, it would make a great fall or winter birthday present or a gift for the winter holidays!
America Recycles Day – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
By Angela Verges
Do you have a child who likes to collect…stuff? Over the years my son has collected football trading cards, Yu-gi-oh cards and a bunch of other things. A couple of times a year I would encourage him give away some of the things he no longer played with. The task was anything but pleasant.
November 15th is America Recycles Day. If you have a child who likes to hold onto things forever, this is a great time to introduce the concept of recycling. This task may require you to use creativity. When I attempted to help my son part with some of his old toys, he responded with, "Don't throw that away, I still play with that."
If you have a little pack rat who likes to keep everything, he might enjoy reading Stuff! Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. This is a story about a little pack rat named Pinch who keeps everything from magazines to toy cars, boats and games. Pinch had so much stuff that it was spilling onto the street.
You will have to read the story to find out what Pinch does to reduce, reuse and recycle. Expand your child's knowledge of recycling by creating green crafts. You can find a variety of projects in the book Cool Crafts with old Wrappers, Cans, and Bottles by Carol Sirrine.
Cool Crafts tells you how to make projects reusing items you already have. Did you know you could make Itty Bitty Frames using metal bottle caps? It's as simple as gluing a magazine a small picture into the cap and adding a magnet strip.
Do you have a suggestion of things to do for America Recycles Day or a favorite book related to recycling?
a serious dog in A GOOD HOME FOR MAX
by Wendy Lawrence
The illustrations in this book are stunning. Junzo Terada is the celebrated artist behind them. They are full of retro-gorgeous colors like real red, a soft blue, yellows, and greens and browns. The images are slightly splotched (that's a terrible description from someone who is obviously NOT an artist) with patches of white and gold, making them even appear old.
Title: A Good Home for Max
Author/Illustrator: Junzo Terada
Genre: Picture Book
Age: 0 – 6
The story is a little bit retro, too. It's a toy store story. And a forgotten toy, kind of like Corduroy. Tabi the mouse cleans the store at night and loves Max more than anything, but tried to make the very serious dog with a somewhat unhappy face more likable so he will get taken home, too. The story is simple and predictable with a happy ending, which is pleasantly old-fashioned. Don't get me wrong, I love all the new things going on in picture books these days, but sometimes you don't feel like a zombie robot or a creepy carrot or using all your energy mixing pretend paints.
Sometimes you just want a nice story. With nice characters. And undescribably nice–beautiful, too, and poignant–illustrations.
robot smartypants burp the alphabet
I think the title of this book Robot Burb Head Smartypants, pretty much says all you need to know. Our favorite robots from the totally awesome Robot Zombie Frankenstein book by Annette Simon are back. Only this time they are trying to teach you things. Like counting. And saying the alphabet. But, inevitably, burping gets in the way. So as you can see, there is NOTHING NOT to like about this book! It's phenomenally awesome.
Title: Robot Burp Head Smartypants
Author/Illustrator: Annette Simon
Genre: Picture Book
Ages: 0 – 7 (This is one of those picture books older kids will appreciate just as much.)
Here's a sample page:
Seriously. If you need more than that, I can't help you. Well, okay, I can give you one more reason to get this book. The illustrations–digital images made of geometric shapes mixed with real photographic images–are as awesome as the text. So there. And check out Robot Zombie Frankenstein too!

HELP! What do i do?
I had planted some irises and had not noticed that they were planted next to a water drain and all winter they have been flooded with water. I decided today to move the irises even though I think its the wrong time to do that. What should I do? Should I pot them inside or plant them elsewhere? I don't even have a space prepared outside at this moment. Are there any specifics as to what should be done? Is it too soon to work with the soil? It is 34 degrees outside and it snowed two inches yesterday so everything is wet.
Are these beardeds?
Potting sounds like the best option and hold in the garage until your weather begins to warm. Then plant. If any rhizomes feel mushy you will need to cut the rotting part away & put the remaining in a 10% bleach solution ~ 10-30 min. Lay on newspaper in a dry place overnight. Or rub the cut with Comet.
I'm zone 6 too, although snow has cleared off here & weather is 50 degrees the last couple of days. If it were me though I'd just try to move them. Press the tops of the rhizome in the ground, if they don't feel mushy to you, I'd just try to dig a big clump of dirt with them & either move them to another spot or pot them up if that is more convenient. Try not to disturb them too much & you "might" get some bloom. If you pot them, I don't think you have to bring them inside, just place the pot against the side of your house where they will be more protected. Of course, if the rhizomes are mushy, you will have to dig them individually & treat as above.
I used to have a large iris bed in Oshkosh, WI. It was in an area along the street that had gravel under it for the city sewer. In the early spring before the ground would thaw out, water would collect in the bed for a couple weeks. I actually had ducks swimming in my iris bed! Once the ground thawed, the bed was very dry due to the gravel under it, and I would have to water it. The water early in the year didn't seem to hurt anything, I think because everything was still so cold. It would have probably killed the irises to have those conditions in warmer weather. Your irises may be fine, though you should move them once the weather warms up.

Mikey had been Holding D's greatest failure.
His father had been the brainchild behind the Holdings program and it had been in his son that he had pinned his best and most ambitious hopes. Unfortunately, as is often the case with fathers and sons, the weight of expectation would prove to be too heavy for either to bear. Genetically speaking Mikey was a dud; powerless, human and completely uninteresting. After his mother, an aide worker had disappeared in the first wave of the creatures evolution and his father had committed suicide, his lifes' work reaching a dead end with his only son, Mikey had been locked away. Now, 17 years old, he sat, observed around the clock in the event of his sudden and instantaneous combustion. Mikey was possessed of cells which had been tested, prodded, irradiated and manipulated more than could be conceived of. Yet, there he remained; a genetic dead end.
We had all met Mikey during our group therapy sessions, when the walls would be lined with armed guards and sedatives in case one of us were to become irate and suck the whole country into another reality. They were fun sessions and everyone always liked Mikey because he was quiet and good looking and people always construe quiet and good looking people as being strong and knowledgeable. I didn't particularly like Mikey because no one had ever thought that I was strong or knowledgeable or good looking.
"What are you kids doing here? What's going on?"
Mikey was behind the opaque glass walls of his observation quarters, the interior sterile and white. The observation cells were located in the furthest wing from the carnage that was occurring and were so quiet, you could almost believe that the devil was still chained. We had all spent time here, but no one had lived here as long as Mikey. This was his home and any sympathy I felt for him at the time was quashed by my petty and childish jealousies. I have never made any apologies for who I am.
"Some among us think that we are being judged and that we're getting what we deserve." Lauren said, humourlessly, "I think it has something to do with a jihad of some description. Either way, everyone is either dead or dying and we don't know what to do."
"Well, who the hell is doing this?" Mikey asked, bright and assured, "Have you guys seen them?"
"Norris has seen them. Burned them with his thoughts." I replied. "I've only seen them in my dreams."
My brilliantly dramatic line ignored, Mikey directed his questioning toward Norris.
"Norris? Norris, what did they look like? You saw them… who are they?"
"Why bother asking him?" I snorted, "He can't tell you who…"
"They looked like serpents." Norris' voice was smooth and clear. "They moved like them, their fangs bared as razors. I saw mouths in mouths in mouths, shining like death and dripping the blood of all those yet to die from their lips. They were not human. They were fear. Pure, endless fear made into the form of the serpent."
Silence hung in the air.
"Any… anything else, Norris." Mikey asked, breathless.
"I wish they all could be…" Norris wheezed, staring past us and choking back tears, "California girls…"
And as Lauren and I turned, we saw a serpent rise out of the shadows behind us.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Google makes concessions in EU antitrust case, changes display of search results in Europe
BRUSSELS - Google is offering major concessions on how it displays search results in Europe — including a better labeling of its own promoted content and displaying links to its competitors — to appease concerns it might be abusing its dominant market position, the European Union's antitrust body said Thursday.
Google's search engine, which is the world's most influential gateway to online information and commerce, enjoys a near-monopoly in Europe. The EU Commission, which acts as the 27-nation bloc's antitrust authority, has since 2010 been investigating whether the company is unfairly stifling competition. It pointed out several areas of concern that Google is now trying to address through the proposed concessions.
Google has offered to more clearly label search results stemming from its own services such as YouTube, Google Maps or its shopping search function, allowing users to distinguish between natural search results and others promoted by Google. It also agreed to display some search results from its competitors and links to their services, the EU Commission said.
The Commission has often taken a harder line with U.S. tech companies than its American counterparts, the Federal Trade Commission and the Justice Department. Google, which is based in Mountain View, California, was able to settle a similar antitrust complaint on its search business with the FTC in January without making any major concessions on how it runs its search engine.
The Commission is now proposing a market test of the concessions for a month as a test run. That would give competitors the chance to say whether they deem them sufficient.
Once the Commission accepts them — revised or not — they become legally binding for the company for the next five years. Google has worked closely with the Commission on the concessions' design until formally submitting them earlier this month.
"The objective of this process is to try to see if we can achieve a settled outcome in this antitrust investigation," said Commission spokesman Antoine Colombani.
The Commission said Google will "clearly separate promoted links from other web search results by clear graphical features" and "display links to three rival specialized search services close to its own services, in a place that is clearly visible to users."
Google will also give all websites the option to keep their content from being used in Google's specialized search services, "while ensuring that any opt-out does not unduly affect the ranking of those websites in Google's general web search results," it said.
In addition, the proposed remedies will give newspaper publishers greater control over what appears in Google's news aggregator Google News. Google is also giving marketers greater ability to buy ads on rival networks.
The Commission's investigation was initially triggered by complaints from Google's rivals such as Microsoft Corp.
Google's web search service has a market share of over 90 per cent in the EU, a bloc of over 500 million people that makes up the world's largest economy.

Only had 5mins to put this together, so horribly edited with horrible sound (didn't want the original U2 to interfere with the music, but it still does a little) but you get the idea.
And for the record, I'm for keeping the U2. And yes, I realise this might not be everyone's favourite genre, but meh. I'm prepared for a lot of criticism

Peace lily conditions
So I keep reading conflicting information about the best way to keep a peace lily in terms of moisture. Some sources say to keep them consistently moist whereas other sources say to let them dry out between watering? Obviously there is only one way that is best. Can anyone shed some light on this for me?
I have read somewhere that in nature, they grow near bogs (or was it stated as moving bodies of water?). From my experience, they're water hogs and don't want to dry out between waterings. I allow mine to dry out maybe an inch or two (depends on the size of your pot, mine is about seven inches deep) and water again.
Peace lilies will adapt to either watering method as long as it is consistent. I have had peace lilies a long time. I have watered them anywhere from every two weeks (in the winter) to every day.
The least happy one was the one i underwatered (every two weeks) but of course I was depressed at the time and it was calculated neglect- just enough water to keep it alive through the winter. It didnt wilt much because it went into a state of relative dormancy. But all the leaves became brittle and the tips died back.
My happiest peace lily was watered every single day. However, it was relatively pot-bound and did not retain a lot of water. It was also fertilized every week to two weeks, religiously.
My peace lilies now (pictured) are watered once or twice a week, and arent fertilized very regularly. Maybe once a month to every other month. But they are happy, with no browning of the leaves.
There are a few things which will cause the brown tips. One is a sensitivity to chemicals in the tap water.
The other cause is low humidity.
And, of course, incorrect watering (both over- and under-watering).
I will say that my peace lilies are the only plant I grow in plastic- this is because they like water a bit more than your typical houseplant.
However keep in mind that an underwatered plant will survive longer than an overwatered one. You do not want the soil to be soggy, by any means.
My peace lilies used to have brown tips. This tendency decreased rapidly after switching to bottled water. So that can make all the difference.
I will say that from the look of your leaf, you have been overwatering.
This does not exactly mean you are watering too often. It means that the soil is kept soggy, and the roots are not able to breathe.
This means that, in your current soil, you should water less often. Or you can change out the growing medium to something that is fast draining, and then the plant will appreciate the extra water.
I agree the leaf appears to be symptomatic of over-watering because odds favor that as causal, but under-watering, over-watering, a high level of soluble salts in the soil, and soil compaction, either individually or in conjunction, are the 4 most likely reasons for the spoiled foliage in the picture. PLs adapt easily to aqua culture, but won't/can't transition back and forth between soggy soil conditions to favorably aerated soil conditions w/o complaints made manifest in the plant's appearance and vitality.
Constantly saturated conditions as in aqua culture are fine, but the key word is 'constantly'. You can't keep the plant in soggy soil for a few days until air returns to the soil, and then water again when it's dry. The plant adapts to saturated conditions by growing a root system with a tissue called 'aerenchyma' (instead of the normal 'parenchyma' seen when grown in a solid, well-aerated medium) which allows the plant to obtain the oxygen it needs to drive root function from the air surrounding the top of the plant instead of air in the soil.
Aquaculture is fine, or a well-aerated medium that holds little or no perched water and can be kept evenly moist is fine, but you'll be fighting a soil that is soggy half the time and well-aerated half the time - just as you would with any other plant. Another issue (for all plants) with saturated soils that drain poorly is, low oxygen levels cause iron and manganese to become electron acceptors, which means they form insoluble compounds with other elements. This leads to their precipitation (iron and manganese) and, even though these elements might be present in soils, the plantâÂÂs inability to assimilate them. Soggy soils also make it difficult or impossible for plants to assimilate Ca, which leads to all sorts of problems.
The plant will perform best in well-aerated media that don't support a soggy layer of soil near the bottom of the pot, or when grown in water.
I grow some in a pond with water around half way up the pot. Overwatered? Definitely not. The issue is whether the water is oxygenated. In soil water can stagnate quite quickly. It becomes anaerobic. That's what PLs don't like. It's not the water per se.
That is why I mentioned that peace lilies adapt to a CONSISTENT watering schedule. I dont believe anybody suggested 'too much water' in an incorrect context. I also grow some in my aquarium, completely submerged. They can survive a long time that way.
Potting mix is made to contain pockets of air. If it is constantly soggy, the roots quickly use up the available oxygen and then, starved of oxygen, begin to rot. If you wish to grow your peace lily 'aqua culture', im sure they make a better soil for it than regular potting soil.
Peace lilies do flourish under daily watering, if you can get the conditions right for it. Mine used to grow like a weed. The ones I have now arent compaining. But they dont compare.
That one was stolen :-( so sad... Anyway, I dont get as much light here, so no reason to force quick and vigorous growth.
The issue isn't whether or not the water is oxygenated. Plants grown in water don't obtain O2 to drive root function from the water, they form a root tissue (aerenchyma instead of parenchyma) that is filled with open-celled air spaces that allow oxygen to diffuse from the air surrounding the top of the plant so it can be used to burn fuel (carbohydrates) for root energy use.
When it comes to media made of solid materials, the less water held in interparticular air spaces, the better the plant should grow under a daily/very frequent watering regimen. A soil that holds all its water intraparticularly (inside of soil particles instead of in between the particles), offers much better promise for a healthy plant.
I dont doubt what you say, Al. There must be some oxygen exchange going on underwater, though, right? I put a single leaf in my aquarium well over a month ago, and it is still as green and alive as the day I put it in there. ONE LEAF (O_O) How does it do that, Al? It sort of blows my mind...

I stayed here on my way to Maine and then again on my return home. The motel was clean and the breakfast was good enough to get me to lunch. The staff was friendly and you're not far from the Finger Lakes Wineries. All in all a good stop over spot.
Overall, the price is the best thing about this hotel. I stayed in a king bed room that had acres of unadorned, stark wall space, a two-drawer dresser, small square table, fridge/microwave standing one atop another, and a teeny bathroom with no counter space.

I don't know Vandy has all that gang rape business with their football team
That's a real stretch including 2013.
I didn't like a lot of things Urban did at Florida and fortunately our program seems to be run much differently. His exit at Florida was shady but at least he wasn't fleeing major sanctions when he left. John Calipari, for me, is above all rivalries in college basketball. If Jim Boeheim took Michigan to five straight title games where they face a Calipari-coached team, I'd root for Michigan every single time. He's almost as slimy as Rick Pitino and his interviews are so condescending I have to restrain myself from throwing the remote through the tv. He certainly has mastered the system better than anyone. Yes, I hate that he is winning, but what I hate most is that he is the face of a roster full of one-and-dones. Give me guys who stay three or four years and throw in one star player who keeps you guessing on if he'll stay instead. How is the only coach to have final fours at different schools vacated even allowed to be hired in the first place? Nothing in the Wide World of Sports would make me more irrationally angry than seeing John Calipari immortalized with an undefeated team.
Congratulations, JTF!

Local doctor receives Relentless For A Cure Award
Dr. Harvey Einhorn, along with SwedishAmerican Health System oncology clinics, received The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) "Relentless For A Cure" Award. The presentation took place before the Light the Night Walk Sept. 25 in downtown Rockford.
The society recognized Dr. Einhorn for his dedication to superior patient care. During his speech, Dr. Einhorn mentioned his father was an oncologist, and he actually began following him during rounds and home visits at age 14. Dr. Einhorn said cancer treatment advancements have occurred because of clinical trials and proceeded to share how cure rates have gone up for many types of cancer.
"I was proud to be the recipient of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's 'Relentless For A Cure' Award," said Dr. Einhorn. "I feel fortunate to be a part of such a strong oncology program at SwedishAmerican Health System. Our program gives us access to a broad patient base, cooperative studies and the latest drugs. These endeavors will improve the quality and duration of people's lives."
The award was established in 2009 to recognize an individual who has exhibited a lifetime commitment to the LLS mission — to find a cure for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and to improve the quality of life of patients and their families.
