Well Black Ops 2 is the only one I can vote for, cause I haven't played/have any interest in any of the other options. :P
Granted, I haven't been able to play much Black Ops 2 because of how much Dell Vostro AMD drivers suck, but my interest in the strike missions remains. :P
I love BF3. I put it down for a while, and was genuinely excited to play Black Ops 2. After getting it though, I realized that I'm actually really tired of the CoD multiplayer. So I got BF3 premium, and I'm getting back into that. I just love the scope and scale of the BF multiplayer.

I wish BF3 could run at 60fps on my PS3. I have been having a great time playing BLOPS2 so I have to go with that.
I only own one of those games, and that's Battlefield 3 & Premium. I'm still playing it every so often, especially when a new expansion comes out. Starting December the 4th, that's going to be Aftermath.
I wouldn't mind playing the other games, but I'll always be a Battlefield player at heart.

But bf3 is the right choice on strictly multiplayer. But if you want a pretty good campaign and good multiplayer you should go with blops2

Philadelphia's population encompasses a vibrant variety of ethnic and national backgrounds. Among the city's elders, this diversity stems from three sources. First, the ethnic heritage of older persons born in the city, many of whose parents and grandparents were immigrants; second, those who migrated to the city from other locations in the United States; and finally, the foreign-born elderly.Of the city's 273,000 elders (age 60-plus), close to 112,000 are African-American; 37,000 of them migrated from the South to the city. About 16,000 have Latino origins. More than 40,000 older Philadelphians were born in another country. These foreign-born elders come from more than 40 different counties, from regions representing almost every area of the globe – Asia, Europe, the Americas and Africa. Their numbers have increased, from 11% of the city's older adults in 2007 to 15% today.The West Indies is the number one place of origin for foreign-born older Philadelphians, followed by the former USSR, China and Africa.More than 40,000 older Philadelphians were born in another country. These foreign-born elders come from more than 40 different counties, from regions representing almost every area of the globe – Asia, Europe, the Americas and Africa. Their numbers have increased, from 11% of the city's older adults in 2007 to 15% today. Among Asian elders in the city, 99% were born outside the United States. More than 5,000 are from China; more than 2,000 from Vietnam; close to 2,000 from Cambodia; and close to 1,800 are from India.
In Spanish, "vida" means life. At Congreso de Latinos Unidos, a human service agency focusing on Philadelphia's Latino community, vida has an added meaning. Just ask Amada Mejía. Mejía, 80, is one of scores of older adults to benefit so far from Congreso's new Aging at Home – A Community Network program, referred to as "VIDA at Congreso" or simply, "VIDA." Launched in spring 2014 through a three-year grant from the United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey, VIDA serves Latino consumers 60-plus or those caring for an older adult, connecting them to benefits, social services and volunteer opportunities through a network of 40 collaborating agencies. "Whenever I have a problem I bring it here," Mejía says smiling, as VIDA Director Teresa Elliott translates. "They help me with everything." A Colombian immigrant, Mejía is typical of many VIDA participants, who cannot read or write English and are often unable to access the help they need, according to Elizabeth Crespo, VIDA manager. "I am happy they feel comfortable coming here," she says.
Through VIDA, "we have the opportunity to spend time with clients and address their needs holistically," says Crespo. For example, people might come in to apply for LIHEAP (the federal Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program), "but I can talk to them about many things. I can help them apply for the rent/property tax rebate, food stamps, prescription and utility assistance programs, and more." This day, Mejía hands Crespo a statement she received from her Medicare-Medicaid HMO plan. "Nothing to worry about," Crespo tells her. "They approved your expenses." Mejía nods, relieved. Recently, Crespo and Elliott helped the older woman access private funds to fix her broken sidewalk. They also helped her deal with a bill for a kitchen tool she did not remember ordering, Mejía says. One difficulty consumers face is having to get through automatic telephone prompts to get to the right person when there is a problem, VIDA staff says. With Mejía by her side, Elliott called the company to inquire about the bill, explained Mejía knew nothing about it and made sure the bill was cancelled. Many times when a stranger calls on the telephone and talks to seniors like Mejía, "they don't understand and just say 'yes,'" Crespo says. Other times they are the targets of scammers, she says, adding "I tell them to just say no and if they receive a bill they don't understand, to bring it to us. We keep a copy of everything in the consumer's file – bills, correspondence, deeds, benefit applications, so that we have the information whenever we need it.""May God reward you," Mejía says to Elliott and Crespo. "I don't know if I deserve it, but you are very good to me." In years past, Mejía's ex-husband, who is literate in English, helped her with benefit applications and financial matters. However, he is beginning to develop dementia and vision loss, she says. Since she acts as his caregiver, she also turns to VIDA on his behalf and for caregiving support. Elliott and Crespo can meet with consumers at their homes and often make outreach visits there. They have visited Mejía's ex-husband and helped to link him to a care-at-home program to provide him with meals, transportation and other needed services. They also helped him apply for benefit and entitlement programs. They often refer caregivers, like Mejía, to the Alzheimer's Association Delaware Valley chapter, which offers support programs tailored to Latino individuals and families affected by this disease. Through VIDA, Elliott and Crespo have intervened on behalf of Latino seniors facing homelessness. A recent case included an 80-year-old woman and her 60-year-old daughter who had been evicted from their apartment. VIDA also addresses issues of deteriorating housing. "Housing repair is a huge issue in our community," says Elliott. "There are houses with towels in the windows and mold everywhere." A Latino senior who is a professional carpenter has volunteered to help with some of the repairs. As part of the project, he will train young men in the community in carpentry skills so they can help repair seniors' homes and also learn a vocation.VIDA also offers health and nutrition presentations; fitness activities, including a walking group; volunteer opportunities; gardening activities and classes in computers, English and more.As has become routine for her, Mejía asks for VIDA brochures to take with her – 40 on this particular day – to hand out to Latino seniors she meets in the course of her daily activities. "I tell people 'Go to Congreso. You can get a lot of help from this program,'" she says. Congreso offers an array of health, education, employment, social service and volunteer programs in addition to its VIDA program. For more information: Congreso de Latinos Unidos, 216 W. Somerset St.; 215-763-8870; to www.congreso.net. To contact the VIDA program staff: 215-763-8870, ext. 1417; firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com.

While the General Fund is experiencing significant revenue shortfalls, the Lottery Fund remains financially solid, and therefore we hope the budget that is enacted includes the Lottery funding necessary to meet the needs of seniors. Call your legislatorsAARP has activated a toll-free advocacy phone line to enable Pennsylvania residents to urge their lawmakers to support an increase for Home and Community Based Services in the state budget. This hotline will connect individuals with their state legislators, enabling them to advocate for Governor Corbett's budget proposal of a $21 million increase for Pennsylvania Lottery-funded programs that help seniors age with dignity and independence in their own homes and communities. Callers will be asked to enter their zip code, and then will be connected with their state legislator's office. Call the AARP Advocacy Hotline Number: 1-800-295-5855
BackgroundLast June, the legislature passed a budget that included an additional $20 million appropriated from the Pennsylvania Lottery to the PennCare block grant to address waiting lists in the Options program. The budget also included $5 million going to AAAs to address local needs. With that funding, we have been able to: Provide home and community-based services (HCBS) to more than 450 new consumers through the Options program. Close to 2,000 seniors are now able to remain safely in their homes thanks to the Options program. Eliminate the waiting list for HCBS through the Options program Grant most PCA Providers a 1% increase, the first increase in seven years. This year the Governor is again requesting additional lottery funds for the PennCare block grant, with the majority of that funding going to support the annualized costs associated with meeting the needs of those removed from waiting lists.
AARP has activated a toll-free advocacy phone line to enable Pennsylvania residents to urge their lawmakers to support an increase for Home and Community Based Services in the state budget.

"When I finished it, I came upstairs and said, 'I'm done.' He had told his wife, Renie, about it not long before. "We went to see him, and two hours later, he died. I decided at that time to change careers and commit myself to doing woodworking full time." That was in 2008. "This experience inspired me to consider all of the passages we go through in life – births, marriages, families growing and changing, aging, death. I realized my life's purpose was to create special pieces to mark these passages," he says. Since then, Campbell has dedicated himself full-time to his woodworking, under the name 'The WoodsMyth.' Each of his hand-crafted, one-of-a-kind pieces is custom-made. Among them have been cradles, Chuppah wedding canopies, hope chests, and other pieces of furniture. He allows each piece of wood to suggest its use. Cross-sections from the trunk of a walnut tree became a 14-foot long bench that provides seating in a gallery at the Woodmere Art Museum in Chestnut Hill. The massive, gnarled root of a cherry tree became a magnificent menorah, which is among his works currently on display at "The Art of It" gallery in Jenkintown. Among the most meaningful commissions, he says, are the caskets and urns he crafts for life's final passage.Journey of discovery That first casket, created for his father-in-law, set him on a quest to learn more about funeral practices, customs and regulations. He discovered that, although embalming is a common practice today, it is not required by law. Designed to preserve the body, he says it became prevalent in the United States during the Civil War when great numbers of soldiers died on the battlefields, far from home, he said. Their bodies were embalmed to make it possible to transport them home for burial. Campbell is part of a "green" funeral movement which shuns the practice, and others designed to prevent or delay the natural process. "Embalming is not necessary at all in today's world, and it is a process that uses very toxic chemicals like formaldehyde, which poison the earth and seep into groundwater," Campbell says. "My caskets, made from recycled or reclaimed wood and made without toxic chemicals or metals, honor the earth and the lives of those who are returned to the earth." He points out that under the Federal Trade Commision's Funeral Rule, a funeral home may not refuse to accept any container in which you wish to bury your loved one. (see related story) "People don't know this," he says. His caskets range from a simple pine box to a sleek cylinder, to a hollowed-out tree trunk. Images, shapes and symbols that are meaningful to the deceased are often carved into them. Urns may take a variety of shapes, depending on the piece of wood. Because he works with wood from fallen trees, or from those that have been taken down due to disease or for other purposes, each one is unique. His process involves a three-way conversation of sorts – between himself, the family, and the wood. "In the past several years," he says, "I have had the privilege to work with families who have found comfort and a sense of peace as they joined with me in the creation of a one-of-a-kind casket or urn. I have found that for families facing a loved one's death, designing a vessel for that final passage can be a powerful and healing part of the process." Several times, Campbell has participated in the Tahara, the cleansing, washing and dressing of the body, which are part of a proper Jewish burial. "There's a series of prayers that they read," he says. "It's very powerful." "I believe that acknowledging that our bodies will return to the earth after death, that we will become one with nature, is part of the spiritual journey to an acceptance of our own mortality," Campbell says.

Even with the mild winter last year, close to 700 households received assistance with fuel bills. "We anticipate there will be heavy demand for aid from people who cannot afford fuel oil this winter, and with the resources we now have, we're very concerned that we may not be able to meet the needs," Gallagher said. The Emergency Fund serves as a last resort for Philadelphia's senior citizens who have exhausted all other resources. In addition to fuel oil, it provides assistance with food, prescriptions, medical supplies and other necessities. It is supported by individual donations, corporations, foundations and proceeds from special events.Founded in 1979, the Emergency Fund is coordinated by PCA and guided by a coalition of 22 organizations serving seniors and their families. Recipients of assistance are referred for help by recognized social service agencies and members of the clergy and must have exhausted all other resources for help. Since its founding, the Emergency Fund has helped nearly 23,000 city seniors in need. Donors can contribute online at www.keepseniorswarm.org; or by calling the PCA Helpline at 215-765-9040; or mailing in a donation made out to the Emergency Fund and addressed to Philadelphia Corporation for Aging, 642 North Broad St., Phila., PA 19130.

National Center on Elder Abuse
At Nationalities Senior Program, where some staff members speak Vietnamese and Chinese, "we host cultural celebrations throughout the year," says Center Director Barbara Rubio. The center draws a broad range of immigrants from well beyond its Logan neighborhood, among them Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, Cambodian, Indonesian, and Latvian-born seniors, she says. "Our members take part in activities from their native countries like mahjong, Vietnamese 'four-color' card games and board games like Chinese chess," Rubio says. "One of our members leads a weekly Tai Chi class." The center also has a large number of African-American members, and celebrates Martin Luther King Day and Black History Month, "not only with activities, but with special food that members help to cook, including black-eyed peas, macaroni and cheese, and collard greens," she says. During the Asian moon festival in the autumn, members decorate the center with Chinese lanterns; dragons and other traditional symbols festoon the center for Chinese New Year.Nationalities Senior Program is just one of many centers where food and cultural programming and the presence of at least some bilingual staff help to bridge differences. Northeast Older Adult Center's flag tree represents countries of origin ranging from Thailand and Iraq to Colombia and the Philippines. The center hosts frequent cultural festivals, with food, music, and educational programs, such as the Hispanic Heritage celebration director Maria Ramirez says is planned for September. "We find that food is a really good way to get people to connect," says Jim Crawford, director of Peter Bressi Northeast Senior Center. "We celebrate all the holidays — Christmas, Kwanzaa, St. Patrick's Day, Cinco de Mayo, and more," he adds. More than half the members are African-American, while a total of 10% are foreign-born Asian and Latino seniors. Although the center has no bilingual staff, members who are more fluent in English help to translate for one another, Crawford says. Such cultural festivals are also common at Southwest Senior Center, where members include immigrants from Africa, South America, the Caribbean and Italy, and where 70% of members are African-American. The St. Charles Senior Community Center devotes one day each month to activities, like mahjong and Chinese-language movies, to welcome Chinese immigrants. For the second year, the center has a bilingual student intern from University of Pennsylvania who will help expand programming and outreach for Chinese immigrants. "The word is out about us," says Center Counselor Christine McMenamin. "Our Asian neighbors feel at home here. We want to encourage them to come often." Other centers have found a niche serving one ethnic group almost exclusively. With 99% Latino membership, Norris Square Senior Citizen Center in North Central Philadelphia is among them; Spanish is spoken almost exclusively by members and staff. Through meals of familiar foods like rice and beans and plantain dishes, cooking classes, Latin dancing, an annual celebration of Three Kings Day and its own Puerto Rican Day parade, "we try to keep the culture," says Norris Square's Activities Coordinator Sheila Mercado.At the Philadelphia Senior Center - Coffee Cup Satellite and Asian-Pacific Senior Resource Center in South Philadelphia, the staff speaks both Mandarin and Cantonese. "It's easier to make seniors feel comfortable using our services," says Center Director Phillip Lai. Bilingual staff members help immigrants navigate the health care and benefits systems. Recently, Coffee Cup established a cancer patient support group for Asian immigrants, with the assistance of the American Cancer Society. "It was not available in this region, and we saw there was a great need to help these patients and their caregivers," Lai says. Both here and at On Lok House in Chinatown, seniors enjoy a meal; play mahjong and other Chinese games; use Chinese-language computers; and take part in traditional folk dance, exercise, and art classes. Many members at On Lok House have become accomplished painters in the traditional Chinese style under the tutelage of one of the area's renowned teachers of this art form. Marina Zhitnitskaya, director of the Klein JCC & Russian Satellite Center, says "We celebrate American, Russian and Jewish holidays." She vividly recalls Anatoly, who was more than 80 years old when he first ventured to the center. The immigrant from the former Soviet Union had rarely left his Northeast Philadelphia home before. "He said he was afraid to go out because he could not communicate except in Russian, but from the start he was comfortable with us and soon came every day. He said he 'felt like himself here,'" Zhitnitskaya says.He later gained enough confidence to take the English as a Second Language classes which are offered here, along with computer instruction; cultural and educational programs; a weekly Jewish Sabbath celebration; citizenship classes; and Russian-style entertainment. Centers like this become a home away from home for the people they serve, according to Zhitnitskaya. "Whenever we are closed for a holiday, they'll come back and tell us 'Thank God you're open.' They miss being here," she says.

According to Allen Glicksman, PCA's director of research and evaluation, 35,000 of Philadelphia's residents age 60 or older were born in another country. The median number of years they have been in the United States is 29 years; most arrived when they were still of working age, and have grown old while living here. For them, the challenges and losses of aging are further complicated by cultural differences and language barriers.
There are organizations dedicated to helping them adjust, access services, and learn English.
PCA provides and coordinates a broad range of social services for older Philadelphians, including care at home, senior community centers, home repairs and modifications, legal assistance, transportation, and protection from abuse. Interpreters are available, on a case-by-case basis, to assist limited-English-speaking clients and their families at no charge.

Bryce Harper takes orders for Washington Nationals season tickets on day off
03/19/2013 at 6:32 pm By Gordon Dixon
The Washington Nationals finished the 2012 regular season with 98 wins and made an appearance in the playoffs for the first time since 1981, when they were the Montreal Expos. Their pitching staff is one of Major League Baseball's best, including names like Stephen Strasburg, Gio Gonzalez, Jordan Zimmermann, Dan Haren, Rafael Soriano, Tyler Clippard, and Drew Storen. The lineup is anchored by Ryan Zimmerman, Ian Desmond, Adam LaRoche, and Bryce Harper, the National League Rookie of the Year and an All-Star in his age 19 season. No matter whose 2013 season preview you read the Nationals can regularly be found as a legitimate contender to represent the senior circuit in this year's World Series.
Understandably, and with good reason, excitement around the Washington D.C. area has been building since last season's tough playoff exit in anticipation of what 2013 could hold.
As of late last month the Nationals had sold nearly 20,000 season tickets, up from the estimated 14,000 purchased the previous season. With less than two weeks until Opening Day there's still time to secure seats at Nationals Park if you've been giving it any thought.
Those who called on Tuesday to place their order may spoken to one of baseball's biggest stars.
Spending my off day taking season ticket orders! Call 202-675-NATS! Ask for Bryce! twitter.com/Bharper3407/st…

After his shift it was off to handle another important matter.
Thanks for all the calls! I'm out of the office for the rest of the day but keep placing your season ticket orders by calling 202-675-NATS!

Review by
Spencer from allegan michigan
This is the first car stereo i have ever purchased for my car. I was unsure about buying it at first because there was no reviews; I'm thrilled that i bought it. This is a great budget stereo for anyone who just wants their speakers to sound better and louder. The bass in my car is much deeper now and the mids and highs were improved also. The usb is a great feature to have because i can charge my Iphone through it. If you are looking for a cheap well rounded stereo this is the one for you!

Very simple unit but it'll meet your needs on a basic set up. Sound is good, it's not too hard to use and the software is decent. Only thing I'm a little disappointed about is that there's no volume control on the rca output

Pros: Cheap, works rather well, installation was a snap, and it does the job rather well.
Cons: Only one, really - it should have some drop-simple way to kick it out of demo mode; Perhaps I should have set that up when I installed it, but...

|Great Value

This is how I VET

I don't know what he would have done. Personally, Justin and Rand aside, I feel that no amendment should have been written. If it was me, I would have demanded that Section 1021 be STRICKEN.
Rand promoted and drilled the amendment. For the neo's who watch tv, it was enough and it was accomodating. Justin made it fully known that it didn't go far enough, and that we should never accept anything less than the Bill of Rights. For this reason alone, though there are others, I feel that Justin speaks Liberty louder and clearer. This is the vetting process that I do.

One of my favorite blogs right now is Heimelig blog written by Sonja Maria Rettensteiner. I always fins something beautiful and interesting there and her moodboards are so lovely! Sonja lives in a beautiful house in Salzburg Austria where she runs a webshop called Heimelig Shop. I met her a couple of weeks ago when she was in Stockholm visiting and she is such a sweetheart! Please cheek out her blog, it's so great! she also has a lovely feed on instagram @sonjamariarettensteiner & @heimeligblog
I'm back from Paris and what a lovely weekend we had. I'm feeling so inspired!
We stayed at Hotel Emeile (Thanks to a recommendation from Pella! thank you sweet P! we loved it) in the middle of Marais. A perfect location in every way. A simple, small, but very cute hotel. I would stay there again for sure!
We squeezed in a lot of things during our three days, but most of all we just walked around and enjoyed being in Paris.
If you're curious what I liked the most in Paris, I will tell you about some of my favorite places that we visited in the next couple of days. And a little Paris guide is coming up as well! Stay tuned.

Fall transplants question
Hi everyone,
It's been awhile since I've been on here. Hope everyone has gotten some rain and cooler temps (even if temporary). I know back here in NC, my summer garden (except peppers) are done since we had 2-3 weeks of everyday rain. I didn't want to complain, but it got old once everything got ravaged with disease from it all. My pole beans and tomatoes met an early death due to that. Oh well, it was a better year than last year, so can't complain too much.
***Dawn and Jay, whatever was wrong with my Black Cherry tomato back in July, spread to the tomato plant next to it, but hasn't taken it out completely yet. I am really thinking it was some kind of bacterial problem. Can I plant tomatoes in that same spot next year (I know you're not supposed to but that's the best spot for tomatoes)?***
Anyway, I have now begun my fall garden with collards, cabbage, broccoli, carrots, onions, turnips, radishes, etc. I have started all the greens and broccoli from seed and they are doing well, need to grow a little more before they go in the ground. Can they go in the ground with only 2-3 true leaves?
For my other collards and cabbages, I bought Bonnie transplants from various sources around town and they seem to have a problem where they turn yellow, wilt, and die before I even get them in the ground. Well, I eventually got ahold of some decent ones and have transplanted them. They have been in the ground about 3-5 days now, but they still wilt in the sun. They perk up in the shade and at night. Is this normal?? I don't remember from last year, so any advice is greatly appreciated.
Another problem is I can't get my carrots and onions to sprout! The ones I thought would sprout didn't and the ones I thought wouldn't, did. Go figure. So to solve this problem, I'm going to start them indoors just to sprout them and transplant them into the garden. I know that's not the best option, but it's the only way I think I can get them to sprout and literally, once they sprout, they will be out in the ground within 24 hrs.
Thank you for any and all advice!!
Hi Dawn,
Most of us have had some rain, though far too many people have not yet had enough to make much of a dent in the drought. Still, any rain is better than no rain.
The downside to rain while the weather is still hot is that it does encourage so many diseases. I'm sorry the rain was so hard on your summer garden.
With the tomato plants, bacteria exist everywhere as do fungi, and some reside in the soil, and many are airborne. So, that's my way of saying go ahead and plant what you ant to plant where you want to plant it. Now, if you had something like fusarium wilt in your soil, you'd need to rotate susceptible crops somewhere else, but since you think it is likely bacterial (and I think you're probably right about that), there's no reason not to plant there next year. I would suggest adding a couple of inches of compost or composted manure to the soil before you plant next year. Healthier soil helps your plants fight disease. After you plant, mulch well to reduce soil splash that might carry bacteria up from the soil onto the plants. That won't guarantee a thing, but is certainly doesn't hurt.
Yes, you can transplant with only 2 or 3 leaves. I normally prefer 3-5 leaves, but 2 leaves isn't that different from 3. I don't know why your Bonnie Plants transplants are yellowing, wilting and dying so suddenly. It could be that they got too hot and dry before you bought them. If someone at the store had noticed they were dry, they might have watered them and then the plants perked up, but it wasn't enough to save them. It also could have been a disease. It is just impossible to know for sure.
Your plants most likely are wilting because of the heat and the intense sunlight. As long as they perk back up in the evening, that's your clue that it is related to sun exposure and/or the intensity of the sunlight. Plenty of plants I have in the ground that have been in the ground a month or more still wilt around noon or 1 p.m. and stay that way until about 4-5 p.m. The reason they begin to perk up at or after 4 p.m. is because by then they are in the shade of the pecan tree that sits west of the garden. If they were in full direct sun until 6 p.m., they would perk up then. As soon as the weather cools down a little more, they should stop the constant wilting.
You know, of course, that plants also can wilt if the soil is too wet, but when they do that, they normally don't perk up at or around sunset.
Carrots are very picky about sprouting in the heat, so it may have been too hot for them. I check my soil temperature with a plain old kitchen/meat thermometer with a metal probe and don't plant cool-season seeds until the soil is cool enough. I'll link Tom Clothier's seed germination data base so you can check and see exactly what temperatures carrots and onions need for quick germination. For carrots, it is somewhere in the mid- to upper-70s and for onions the soil needs to be about 10 degrees cooler. Sometimes waiting for the right temperature means you're planting late, but planting on time doesn't help any if the temperatures are too hot for the seeds to germinate. This is sort of a perpetual problem with the fall garden.
I sometimes pre-sprout seeds indoors too, and that's more true when planting the fall garden than the spring one. It has worked fine with carrots as long as I put them in the ground as soon as they have sprouted. If you wait too long, you can end up with deformed carrots.
Sometimes with carrots, the soil temps are in the right range, but the soil dries out too quickly. You can get around that by sowing your seed, misting the ground and then putting something on top of the seed bed to keep it from heating up and drying out. I like to use a piece of plywood, but you can use very heavy cardboard if it lies flat (put a couple of bricks on top of cardboard so it won't fly away), burlap or a sheet of plastic held down by boards. Every morning, lift the board (or whatever you use in place of the board) and check for tiny green sprouts. As soon as you see one green sprout, you have to remove the board. This method often works great in spring because in spring's heavy rainfall, the rain often washes out the soil or seeds. The board prevents that, while also maintaining soil moisture and keeping the soil a little cooler.
If your soil is in the right range for germination at night, but gets too hot during the day, you can put something over the soil to shade it and keep it cool until the seeds sprout.
Hope this helps,

RECIPE: Marlen's 4th of July
I have saved this and read it every year-it is well worth sharing again:
The Marlen Chronicles: July 4th Mystery Revealed
Posted by Marlen (My Page) on Sun, Jul 6, 03 at 17:16
They got me and they got me good!
This will be as long as the day that was.
I got all decked out for the fiesta in my patriotic finest, got all the food I had cooked ready to travel, then called DH to load up the van. In his typical helpful fashion he announced, 'We ain't got #@$%^&* no catering truck!' After much grumbling, we arrived at our destination and I was elated to see several relatives from out of town whom I had not expected to see. Oh, so that's it, I thought. How nice! Then I saw the Pakistani couple and I knew immediately what they were up to.
You see, a couple of months ago I reached my 100th mark. No, not in years, in Americans. Since 1972 to date, I have helped 100 people from 14 different countries to become American citizens. I teach them citizenship classes, I help them fill out the application, I take them to have their photographs and fingerprints taken, I translate all legal documents for official presentation to the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service, and I see them thorough the interview to the swearing in ceremony. I do it because my beloved adopted country can use all the good people it can get and I had nobody to help me when I went through the process myself. Many of the 100 are family and friends, and others were strangers who became friends, like the Pakistani couple whom I met in a Chicago supermarket. And they were there! 61 of the 100 - to party with me!! What joy!!!
They flew in from California, Nevada, Colorado, Illinois, New Jersey, New York and Massachusetts. They drove in from Georgia and all over Northern Florida.
And one by one stood up to tell me what it meant for them to be Americans and handed me a thank you note. I also received thank you cards from those who could not be with us, 100 cards in all!!
I was sobbing shamelessly all throughout. Just when I thought I could not take any more, I was forced to.
The first of the 100, a cousin, came right up to me and said, 'From 100 Americans to a great American,' and shoved a velvet box in my face. I opened it to find a beautiful gold ring with three gemstones: a ruby, a diamond and a blue sapphire! Red, white and blue. Just like my heart and soul. They had all chipped in to get it for me!
I could not breathe and thought I was going to pass out. Another cousin, a doctor, rushed to take my pulse, my mother kept fanning me with her apron, and DH kept telling me to drink water, as if swallowing was an option with a huge lump in my throat. Nobody thought of handing me tissues to wipe the snots off my face, so I had to sacrifice my mother's apron.
The waterproof mascara held up but the entire front of my blouse was wet from tears. DH, ever the thoughtful, loving husband, added to my fond memory of the moment by loudly announcing that I looked like the big loser at a nursing home wet T-shirt contest. They all laughed and I forced myself to smile. I sure hope he ate enough there because it will be a cold day in hell before I cook again for that moron!
Then it was time to eat. I was concerned about the Pakistanis because the only people they knew there were DH and me. But I needn't have worried. I turned to see the husband getting bongo drum lessons from one of the uncles while his wife was happily shoveling Cuban garbanzo salad into her mouth. All was well in the international arena!
The one crazy uncle dressed up again. He has been Uncle Sam, Kate Smith and John Wayne among others. This year, he came as Miss America. He wore a 2-piece swim suit which left plenty of room for the fat rolls from his belly to jiggle freely. He had a sash made of white crepe paper and wore one of those gold cardboard crowns you see on people on New Year's Eve. He had red lipstick smeared all over the bottom of his face a la Bozo the Clown. He looked like a drag queen victim from one of those Friday the 13th movies. If he had been the real Miss America, I am sure many of us would have given up our U.S. citizenship to go back where we came from!
I was once again elected unanimously to lead us into our traditional conga line. I said okay, but announced that, unlike last year, I was not going to stop the dancing to organize rescue efforts for any drunk who felled into the pool. Somehow, they managed to stay dry.
Sadly, we did have a near drowning later on. My dog Max (aka Frito Bandido because he steals food) was pilfering a hot dog from the buffet table when one of the great aunts turned, was startled and shrieked in his face. The dog freaked out, turned tail, ran amok and felled right into the pool still chomping on the hot dog. He would have been just fine if we had left him alone to swim out on his own. But no!!! I screamed that my baby was drowning, the kids jumped in to save him, thereby splashing all over him and grabbing every inch of his wet fur, the parents screamed and dove in after the kids, and it took 10 times as long to fish the poor dog out. As soon as he was on firm ground, Max ran to cower under my wheelchair, and promptly puked at my feet. He now needs the services of a therapist to get over his fear of water and screaming old women. He lost his dignity and his patriotic bandanna. And he also needs a dye job. He went into the pool a lovely golden blonde and came o!
ut platinum from all the chlorine.
After eating, the women gathered to exchange recipes and the men gathered to plan, yet again, the liberation of Cuba. Even the Pakistani offered suggestions. This so endeared him to the crowd that he was gifted with a pair of maracas. Heads up, Chicago! On its way to you is is a bongo-playing Pakistani with maracas shouting Cuba Si, Castro No! His wife has recipes to make flan and black beans and rice. So be afraid, Chicago! Be very afraid!
The rest is a blur of food, music, dancing, laughing, hugging and kissing.
I told DH I was never taking the ring off. He said I had to for sleeping, or I might accidentally turn in my sleep and slash his face. I told him if that happen it would not be an accident and he could get himself a hockey goalie mask and sleep in that. He said it might freak out the dogs.
It won't. The dogs have seen us both naked and haven't freaked out from that so they'd be fine.
Hope you all had a glorious 4th as well!
