When you are really glad to be told you have an infection
guess most of you know I have lymphoma but after 18 chemos it has been in remission, Last week glands began swelling high in my neck and under my chin. Just like they did with the active disease, Family doctor thought it might be bad news and called the oncologist and got me in this A.M. Well, after a CT scan and a lot of poking and prodd
ng she said "you have quite an infection". Leone said we expected bad news and does he need more chemo? Doctor, "no, that's great news , he has a rather severe case of salivary gland infection, we can cure that in about a week. She agreed with my doctor that it sure did mimic the return. Weird, good news I have a severe infection. How many times have you ever said that.
George, this is one time that a "bad infection" is a "good thing"! Silly words, but this time, they're very true. I'm so glad that your infection will respond to treatment fairly quickly. More good thoughts and prayers for both you and Leone are coming your way.
Yes, I have heard something like that. Oh, how I'd rather have (and this is far far far far far less than you) tendonitis than a stress fracture in my leg. Not the same. But I hear you. I was so glad it wasn't a broken bone and "only" PT was needed. I'm glad all you need is a bit of TLC. Take care and get well!

Best Shade Trees For Tight Spaces?
I was looking at only evergreens, but I think my choices are too limited, so I am going to be open to other choices.
I was looking at Little Gem Magnolia and Photinia standard for evergreens.
I'm looking for trees for zone 8/9 that will fit in a 4x4 land area bordered by hardscape on one side and fencing on the other that will provide hot weather shade, There is more space for the tree to grow branches outward once it is over the 6 ft fence, but the land area for the trunk/roots is limited.
I'm looking for trees that will max out under 25 feet of height and not drop berries or other messy items onto the flagstone patio and are in general "low maintenance."
Have you considered a palm? I'm in NC, but that fence/patio situation sounds perfect for a Sabal palmetto. They are evergreen, relatively clean and low maintenace, here you could get them put in at a size with the crowns over the fence height for a reasonable price (around $200 ea). Palms in general don't need a huge area to root, and once they grow upwards, they can never ever get any wider at the base. (perfect for having limited space down low). I don't have a clue about growing Sabals in CA, or the price of a 10ft one there. There are a handful of palms that could work for you in z9. I know you were asking about shade trees, but if you don't hate the idea of palms some could be well suited for your space. Just my palm biased thoughts.
Palms would be out of place in this area and not provide enough shade or patio privacy.
I am in an area that is 8/9 borderline.
I found a site that says the capital pear tree is supposed to be 6 feet from fences and I only have around 4x4 ground space to plant in so there is no way it can be 6 feet away from the fence. So, that one probably will not work either.
I'm looking for sun protection during spring/summer/fall and added privacy.
So maybe some kind of hedge could work instead of a tree, except hedges generally do not grow in a way that provides shade like a tree would.
not sure about your state / area but the local botanical garden lists this invasive as a NO PLANT for Missouri. Besides that, until proven otherwise, I bet this Capitol Pear will hold a split apart and attack nearby fences like its Bradford relative.
Is this a 4x4 square of dirt Surrounded by pavement you will be planting a tree in? There are columnar oaks and maples but I would tend to want to stay one step smaller if planting in such a tight spot. Acer gresium, paperbark maple, or the right Acer japonicum, Japanes maple cultivar might look great if hardy for your summers.
Here is a link that might be useful: MOBOT capitol pear
I found out that the capital pear tree is probably going to be too large to fit in that space.
It would replace that small plant and moved closer to the center of the corner..
There is fencing around it on two sides and hardscape on other sides. So, only about 4x4 feet is usable.
Cupressus sempervirens looks like it may fit in the space, but it would be so narrow at the top that I don't think it would provide shade.
I'm looking for something that doesn't need a lot of ground space, but has a canopy overhead so it can provide shade below it.
Maybe bronze loquat?
Here is a link that might be useful: Loquat Video
I think your parameters are mutually exclusives. The 4X4 space is not large enough to plant any tree that is going to provide any shade.
Have you thought of large bushes around some trellis/arbor type structure? The bushes would give you the green and color and the structure would give you the shade.
Is it possible to remove the fence to open up the area and provide more room for a shade tree?
I went to a nursery and they said they many of their smaller trees that have a maximum height between 15 and 25 feet would fit in that space.
The amount of shade would be limited, but I I don't need to cover the entire patio in shade,
I can't remove the fence and I don't want to install anything like a trellis.

Photos 1.0 SP1
Download: Microsoft Surface Photos 1.0 SP1 (requires Microsoft Surface 1.0 SP1)
Microsoft Surface Photos enables users to browse and control photos and videos. The Photos application is a commercial production-quality application that you can deploy in your venue, and it includes default content that you can use. You can also add your own photos and videos to the default content or replace the default content with your own photos and videos. And you can replace the background image of Photos and rename the Photos application if you want to tailor it for a specific purpose or topic.
For more information about the Photos application, see the Photos Help documentation that is included with the Photos application.
The rest of this topic includes:
Photos Overview
Interacting with Photos
Example Photos Scenarios
Customizing Photos for Your Business
Photos Overview
When users first open the Photos application, it shows five photos and videos scattered over the screen and the stack, which is a circular container that contains a stack of photos.
Users can scatter as many photos and videos as they want over the Microsoft Surface screen. People standing on all sides of the Microsoft Surface unit can interact with the photos and videos at the same time by moving, rotating, and resizing them.
Videos include a button in the center of the image that users can use to play and pause the video. (When users play a video, the pause button moves to the bottom. When users pause a video, the pause button changes to a play button, and the play button eventually moves back to the middle of the image.)
Users can move, resize, and rotate videos, even while they are playing. However, only two videos can play at the same time. When a video is large enough, users can also drag the video's playback slider and adjust the volume.
Stack and Scroller
All the photos and videos in Photos are displayed in the stack and scroller. (If you include less than 20 pieces of content [photos or videos], Photos does not use the stack or scroller. Instead, Photos scatters all the photos and videos on the Microsoft Surface screen.)
The five photos and videos that are scattered on the Microsoft Surface screen when Photos is first opened are the first five photos or videos in the library of Photos content. (The photos and videos are listed alphabetically by category and then by the file name of the photo or video.) If none of the first five pieces of content are videos, the first video (listed alphabetically) in the first category (also listed alphabetically) is displayed with the first four photos.
When Photos first opens, the content is organized with the stack. The stack is a circular container that displays the content as a stack of photos and videos. (The stack does not display content that is scattered on the Microsoft Surface screen.) With the stack, users can do the following:
Touch or flick the top content (photo or video) to send it to the bottom of the stack; the next item in the stack moves to the top.
When a video appears on the top of the stack, play videos by touching the play button.
Touch a corner of the content on the bottom of the stack to move it back to the top.
Move content out of the stack and scatter it on the Microsoft Surface screen by dragging it.
Move content back into the stack by dragging it back onto the stack.
The name of the current category appears on the top of the stack. This name is the category menu. Users can touch the name, slide a finger up and down to scroll through the names of other categories, and touch again to select the category that they want.
The scroller is another view of the content. It displays content (photos and videos) in two horizontal rows, with the name of the current category on the top of the scroller. Like the stack, users can move content out of the scroller and scatter it on the Microsoft Surface screen by dragging it with a finger. Users can also move it back into the scroller in the same way. Unlike the stack, when users move content out of the scroller, the content appears dimmed in the scroller (instead of not appearing at all, like in the stack). Users can change the category just as they do with the stack (by touching the category menu), or they can scroll the scroller to the right or left to see other categories.
Users can also move, rotate, and resize the stack and the scroller. To move, rotate, or scale the stack or scroller, users must touch around the content and not touch the content, the menu list on the stack and scroller, or the middle scroll area on the scroller. The stack and the scroller include the Change View button () on the bottom that users can touch to switch between the views. No matter which view appears, it always appears on top of all the photo and video content (except any content that users are currently moving or scaling).
Categories correspond to folders of photos and videos on the Microsoft Surface unit. Categories appear alphabetically in Photos by their corresponding folder name, and the photos and videos within them are displayed alphabetically by file name. (Users do not ever see the file names.)
Photos includes the following default categories:
Memory Cards
The Photos application includes the functionality to read photos and videos from a memory card. If you set up a media card reader and configure Photos to use the memory card feature, users can insert their memory card into the media card reader and then their photo and video content temporarily replaces the venue content in Photos with their photo and video content. When users remove the memory card, the venue content returns.
(The memory card content is cached and is never stored in memory. When users remove their memory cards, the content is completely removed from the Microsoft Surface unit.)
When users insert a memory card, the content from the card animates on the screen. You can specify the media card reader's location so that the memory card content animates in from the direction of the media card reader.
For guidelines about which media card reader to use with Photos, download the Microsoft Surface Media Card Reader Guidelines.
Featured Content
You can select a photo or video (called the featured content) to be one of the five pieces of content that appear when Photos starts. For example, this content might highlight attractions or might be a Help video that explains how to use Photos or any other applications on the Microsoft Surface unit.
Photos does not include default featured content.
Interacting with Photos
Users can move content (a photo, a video, the stack, or the scroller) in Photos by dragging it or flicking it across the Microsoft Surface screen. Users can rotate content with one finger by touching a corner or side and moving their finger around the center of the content, or with two fingers by moving both fingers in a circle in the same direction (clockwise or counterclockwise). Users can also resize content with two fingers by moving their fingers closer together or farther apart.
Example Photos Scenarios
You can use the Photos application to display a wide variety of content. You can show photos and videos of your venue, or you can show the local sites and attractions. Your videos could be Help videos (how to use Photos or other applications), videos about how to do something in your venue or how to use your products, videos of employees answering frequently asked questions about your venue or products, or even video logs from the venue manager or company president.
You could rename the application to "Videos" and include only videos. You could rename it to "Shows" and fill the Photos application with posters and videos of your shows. Or, you could rename it to "Products" and feature advertisement images of your products, videos of the products in use, or even videos of TV commercials.
After you configure Photos, you might want to change the title, description, icon, and preview of Photos that appear in Launcher on Microsoft Surface units.
You can also set up where the content appears from when Photos first opens or when users insert a memory card. For example, when Photos first opens, if you want your venue content to appear from the direction of a hotel lobby information desk, you could set the position of the content to animate in from that direction.
Customizing Photos for Your Business
Photos enables businesses to show photos and videos to users on a Surface unit, including default content or their own content. Users can view and share content, browse content by categories in the stack and scroller, control videos, and explore their own content by using a media card reader.
Customize the Photos application in the following ways:
Deliver brand awareness with a customized background image.
Create marketing opportunities by adding images or videos of products, services, shows, other branches of the business, partner locations, or co-branded venues.
Create a unique customer experience by installing a media card reader to let users add their own photos and videos to share with others on the Surface unit.
Increased reach through international support for operating systems beyond English and viewing in several international markets.
Flexible installation and configuration through an individual Photos 1.0 SP1 installer.

legal question - buyer back out from a signed contract?
We are the buyer and this is a very hot market in the SF bay area. We already made offers many times and were not accepted. Our agent suggests we could make multiple offers simultaneously to increase our chance. So we follow her suggestion, made multiple offers to some properties we like and suddenly 2 of the sellers accepted our offer in the same day. we are now bound with 2 contracts. We like property A more so we withdraw our contract from property B.
Our contract includes a two-day contingency to review HOA documents (the only contingency we put in our offer) so our agent think we could legally cancel the contract without any penalty. But the selling agent of property B was very upset (obviously our offering price is much higher than other offers) and left a message saying he and his client intend to sue us for breaching the contract.
So my question, is it illegal to make multiple offer simultaneously? since we got a contingency in our contract, is there any standpoint for the seller to sue us?
Any comment would be appreciated!
I can only speak to what we are currently going through.
Our buyers backed out of their offer 2 days before closing. They claimed it was b/c of the interest rate. We knew that wasn't the reason, as the interest rate change only would have changed their payment $9!!! So, we called their bluff and offered to pay down the interest rate for them. They still walked. The only thing they may lose is their piddly earnest money.
My DH spoke with some real estate attorneys and said no judge will/wants to force someone to buy a house. Yes, we probably could sue them for the time this has taken our house off the market, inspection on the house we were buying (it was contingent on this one selling), etc, but honestly, I'm sick over the deal falling through and really just want to get the failed sale behind us and move onto getting it sold so that, hopefully, we can still save the house we have an offer on.
If you had a contingency, and you retract before your contingency deadline, I am pretty sure you are fine. Here, there is a 3 day window you can walk for any reason (in Washington State); but, then often there are other contingencies built into contracts--inspection being most notable. At any point as long as you are acting within your contract timeline, you are good.
They signed the contract too. They agreed to your contingency to look over HOA documents, and withdraw prior to x date. If you did that, you should be good.
For buyers who wish to submit multiple offers... in the offer, just :forget" to initial one page or something else small like that. That way, if more than one seller signs your offer, it is still not legally a binding contract until the initial is completed.
Our new contracts as of about 2 years ago uses a Due Diligence Period where the buyer can walk for any or no reason for this specified time. The buyer pays a small fee for this period of time. So I can submit several offers at once if I wanted too, w/o the fear that my buyer would be stuck in a contract w/o a way to back out cheaply.
Did we not learn anything from the RE market crash? No market is so hot that you shouldn't protect yourself with an inspection and financing contingency and if you have no extra cash, make sure you also include an appraisal contingency. There are plenty of people still sitting underwater on plenty of those "hot" properties. I know, I know, your market is different and special ... I'm in LA so we aren't too different, but I know a few that sold at a $1 mill loss and took the hit themselves. Buy now or be priced out forever ... we just saw how that mind set worked out terrible for lots of people. Buyer beware!
"For buyers who wish to submit multiple offers... in the offer, just :forget" to initial one page or something else small like that. "
Not to mention this practice is unethical, deceptive and low. It is hard to believe that the seller's agent and lawyer would be so careless without reviewing the entire offer before asking the seller to sign.
I have been the victim of tricks like this. we had a buyer sign a contract and then 4 days from closing backed out making false claims (which we could document and refute) saying we had to re wire the entire house to be up to code. although we could have taken them to court we did not feel we could afford to fight it and tie up the house and keep it off the market for the duration. It was unbelievably difficult and it makes me sick to think of it. we had already removed all our staging, furniture and all but my 4 days of personal items that I needed until closing. husband had taken everything up north to the new house already. we lost the prime 30 days the house should have been showing on the market, we had to buy all new items and re stage the house and then had the questions and rumors in the RE community as to why the sale fell through.. In my opinion it is a low and immoral thing to play games with other people's lives by such deceitful practices. if you don't intend to honor the contract, don't sign it! shameful.
egbar - I am right there with you! As mentioned above, our buyers backed out 2 days before closing, for a "fake" reason that we agreed to deal with. What is the purpose of a contract if the buyer can just back out in the end? It was a RD loan, so it tied our house up for TWO months -at the hottest selling time. Argh!
Well, I once backed out of a contract after I saw the HOA documents. Even consulted an accountant who confirmed that the HOA was not in good financial shape. This was a few weeks after signing the contract because the seller took so long to hand over the documents. There may be other issues that a buyer doesn't like in the HOA documents, e.g. a weight limit on pets, an assessment, or whatever.
Why people wants to accept an offer with "Due Diligence Period that the buyer can back out for no reason"?
A contract should spell out exact the issues that may cause cancellation of the contract, such as what kind of findings come out of this "Due Diligence Period". Putting a blank statement like this would keep door wide open, no one should accept this kind of offer.
Again, it is seller's agent, seller's lawyer and seller's responsibilities to come up a water tight ( or as water tight as possible) contract to protect seller's interest, and...seller agent's commission.
The buyer writes out a check to the seller at contract execution, which is a negotiable amount of $. This dollar amount pays for the seller to take the home off the market for a predetermined amount of time, so that the buyer can perform his due diligence. If buyer backs out for any and/or no reason, the buyer keeps the due diligence fee. Same way most commercial deals are written up.
Doing a contract this way eliminates all of the arguments, legal cases and confusion from what systems and items that the seller needed to repair in order to make certain that the items are performing the function which intended for. In the old contract, if these items were not repaired, the buyer could walk and receive the deposit back.
With this new contract, all of this is moot. The buyer does his inspection, requests repairs if he wants, and the seller responds. If buyer does not like the sellers response, he has until the end of his due diligence period to either go on with the sale or back out and get his deposit back.
Thank you for your explanation by adding the additional clause.
It makes the practice much more reasonable than your previous statement "uses a Due Diligence Period where the buyer can walk for any or no reason for this specified time".
It took a while for agents to accept this new contract, but it really does clean up a contract... no more having to write up additional addendums or conditions or contingencies for every little unique situation the buyer may find... now all of that is encompassed via the due diligence period.
The biggest uncertainty when starting to transition to this new contract was that no one knew how to advise sellers on how much to ask for the due diligence fee. Our answer from the Commission was that the market will figure that out... and it has.
I am really surprised to hear that a real estate agent in the bay area (my market) is advising you to make more than one offer at a time on a house. This practice can leave not only you, the client, but also the agent blacklisted. Most selling agents, when coming upon your offer and knowing that you and your agent practice this sort of thing will disclose it to their sellers making your offer not attractive at all. What seller wants to lose money by taking your offer and then having to go back on market (which is basically a black eye to their perfectly good property). Disgraceful. Can a seller back out of deal because they get a better offer leaving you in the lurch? No they can not.
Shame on your Realtor. Here in VA it is illegal, but practiced. Shame on your Realtor for even hinting to contract B that you did that. Whoever she or he is should have inacted your contingency without divulging any information. The sellers would have been sour, but not threating to sue.
The worst house B can do is cause a goodsized headache and loss of your E.money deposit. However if they choose to go that route, it is more of a headache for them. You can still purchase house A and move on. They will have to keep their property off the market while they fight you in court. They can not sell that house while trying to hold you to a contract. That of course could take months, hell years if you get a good attorney or know anything about law. If it is not illegal there and just an ethical issue, then they are fighting for nothing, because you have a contingency. With those it doesnt matter what the reason is, it is a way out. If it is Illegal, a judge will most likely not hold you to it. If on the off chance they do, you go after the Realtor Proffessional that recommended this strategy. All agents pay Errors and Omissions insurance, sounds like it would be put to good use for this screw up.
In the future I wouldn't trust an agent that is so willing to do unethical things to help you purchase a house. Because that same unethical Realtor could keep information from you, so you will purchase the house. Unethical people don't care who they work for and whos interest they need to keep, as long as the money is in pocket at the end of the transaction.
I know you want to purchase a home and after so many failed contracts, start to get desperate. But never, ever lower your morals, or ethics to get ahead. We teach our children that, so why is it so hard to follow as an adult. Goodluck.
Edited-- had no idea the original post was from June. Could you please give an update with what happened?

The earnest money amount in any contract should be more than a buyer would easily walk away from. If a buyer is putting down even 5%, you know they have that much cash available.
In the area where I sold real estate many years ago, it was standard to get $5,000 in earnest money. That was in the 90's and people did not walk away from a contract. It amazes me that where we live now as little as $1,000 is customary.

I'm trying to make all images of my website to show up with a fade-in effect, something like www.blu-ray.com, but no luck yet.
Unfortunately in the way I do that and since the body of my webpage is a little huge, images start to show up and render before $(document).ready and so when DOM gets ready, the script I'm using will cause already loaded images to hide and re-appear again! Is there anyway to prevent images from showing up and make their visibility to change into "hidden" just at the moment page starts loading?
And no CSS please! Here is the script i'm using:
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery('img').css("opacity", 0).css("visibility", "hidden");
jQuery('img').each(function(i) {
if (this.complete) {
jQuery(this).css("opacity", 1).css("visibility", "visible");
} else
jQuery(this).load(function() {
jQuery(this).css("opacity", 0).css("visibility", "visible").animate({opacity: '1'}, 'slow');
Any help is appreciated.

Mason Resnick is the editor of the Adorama Learning Center and a lifetime photography enthusiast.
There used to be a significant difference. What about now?
Mason Resnick
April 27, 2011
Most inkjet printers use dye-based inks, but some photographers prefer pigment-based for a variety of reasons. Let's first talk about what each kind of ink is, and then the advantages and disadvantages of each.
Dye-based inks are the standard ink type used in inkjet printers. They consist of colorant that is fully dissolved and suspended in liquid. Pigmented ink consists of a very fine powder of solid colorant particles suspended in a liquid carrier. See Adorama's full selection of inkjet inks.
Epson Stylus Photo 1400 is a pro-level printer that takes dye-based inks.
Not so many clear-cut differences
Until a few years ago, the key advantages of dye-based inks was a wider color range and lower cost while its disadvantages were that it was water soluble—a single drop of water could ruin a print—and that prints would fade faster. Pigmented inks, conversely, lasted longer and more water-resistant, but had less color depth and were more expensive.Today, however, there is little difference between current dye-based and pigmented inks, with the slight edge going to pigmented inks. Steady improvements in the inks' formulas have addressed the shortcomings of both types, and current generation inks produced by name-brand manufacturers are generally claimed to be fade-resistant to last a lifetime when used with the recommended paper.
Generally, pigment inks are marketed towards pro users, while lower-cost dye-based inks are marketed towards enthusiasts. Black and white photographers tend to prefer pigmented inks. However, a casual look at side-by-side prints will reveal only subtle differences that may only be appreciated by professional and serious amateur photographers. Even so, many pro printers are more than satisfied with dye-based prints.
Canon Pixma Pro 9500 Mark II uses 10 pigment ink cartridges.
Tips for better prints—No matter what you use
If you use a printer's recommended ICC profiles for the combination of paper and ink that you are using, image quality should be consistent when comparing dye and pigmented ink prints.Epson makes both dye-based and pigment-based inks. Its UltraChrome Hi-Gloss, used in its high-end Stylus Photo R1800 printer, is pigment-based, and is rated to last 250 years, while Epson's Claria Hi-Definition, which is used in printers like its Epson Stylus Photo 1400, is claimed to last 98 years. Canon and HP also offer both dye and pigment-based inks and compatible printers.Don't change inks in midstream!The one major caveat about inkjet printer inks is that you should only use the kind of ink recommended for your printer. Pigment-based inks will quickly clog the ink jets of a printer that is designed for dye-based ink.

I ran across this old MLB Styleguide from 1982. For those of you who don't know what a Styleguide is, it's roughly a comprehensive art guide. For instance, Disney will put out different Syleguides for their characters, like Mickey, Goofy, etc. They give them out to their licensees, that way their towel makers, action figure designers, bedding and sheet designers, all have the same look.
Now that you've had that dumb lesson, here are some scans showing the Reds "branding," and logo usage from 1982. I realize there have been 1,000 threads about ugly uniforms of the past, on here, but I'm posting this more for nostalgic /days before computer design reasons.
Notice that these logos had to be hand drawn/traced and reproduced. That's why there were fewer MLB licensed products back then. There were strict rules as to logo usage, and all logos had to be approved by MLB before you could produce your product. (The same as today) I've also added the Padres page, just because they are so ugly.

Corn in my SBM??
I just bought some SBM over the weekend. I opened up the bag and there was what looked to be corn in it. Is this normal? The previous bag I bought came from a different store and it did not have anything like that in it, but it was pretty much the same consistancy and smelled the same. What do you guys think?
You got corn in my SBM...no, you got SBM in my corn...
If you got it from a mill, don't worry about it too much as long as you're sure the majority is SBM. Apparently the mill processed dried apricot just before my SBM because there's some of it in that. It makes the stuff smell nice.
It means the mill didn't clean the grinders (or whatever) before they put through the next run. Sloppy, yes. But not really a problem--as long as you're sure it really is SBM and not mislabeled.
SBM is off-white with some black bits. Corn, in my limited experience, is yellow-white to gold.
I have exactly the same thing - a few kernels of corn here and there in my SBM. Nothing to worry about, imho.
The grains are sometimes stored interchangeably in different silos or there may be residual product in the grinders, augers, trucks, etc, that the SBM passes through as it goes from the field to your lawn.
Glad to see the Family Guy reference..."Hello I'm officer Reeses". :)
garett, you'll be fine. As long as they don't break a spline if using a drop spreader (no problem with a broadcast), they'll eventually get broken down as well. Think of it as a long-term release fertilizer. :)
Glad to see the Family Guy reference.
Actually, my (advanced, decrepit, get off my lawn you whippersnappers) age. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups had the "You got chocolate in my peanut butter..." ads in the seventies.
Yes, it was the Decade that Taste Forgot, but a few of the commercials were classic.
Here's a direct link to the scene I'm referring to:
Please note this is inappropriate for young children or those without a funny bone.... :)
Farmers rotate crops, Corn -> soybeans and back again or sometimes corn -> soybeans -> wheat -> alfalfa -> corn. Anyways, there will be volunteer corn plants during the soybean years. If the farmer doesn't "walk his field(s)" and "weed" the corn out, it'll get mixed in during harvest.
When soybeans are sold, they are graded based on the purity of the grain/seed/bean content, so much foreign matter per a unit volume. Foreign materials include other grains, rat and mouse droppings, etc. (The little black pellets in grains are actually processed grain, processed by fury little creatures). That's only the beginning, because the beans and grain are stored in silos (grain bins) first, then shipped in either rail cars or trucks, then ground at a mill that processes multiple grains/seeds/beans, with more storage, and more opportunities for the introduction of impurities.
Guess where the best stuff goes? To major food processors.
Guess what grade ends up in a gardening store, the lowest.
Who cares? its all "organic" or minerals (yes there can be small amounts of dirt and/or rock chips and/or steel shavings) that are destined for your yard or garden. Just don't eat the meal directly, eat it after it has been processed by your garden vegetables into people food.

About The dabbling Duck...
The Dabbling Duck pub was opened in 2006 as the result of a tireless community action group and a far-sighted local authority's 6 year campaign to prevent the beautiful old building (previously the Rose and Crown pub) from being converted into housing.
The Dabbling Duck now plays a vital part in the heart of the local community and is a focal point for the village. The owners regularly eat and drink at the pub with their friends and colleagues.

DUBLIN – Silvercrest Foods suspended production after additional tests of its meat products were found to contain traces of horse meat, according to news reports. The Associated Press said the company pinpointed the source of the horsemeat to an imported ingredient.
Silvercrest Foods announced it would suspend operations indefinitely pending further investigation into the cause of the contamination.
Silvercrest Foods recalled 10 million frozen hamburgers that were distributed to supermarkets across the United Kingdom. The recall came after the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) said the agency found traces of horse meat in a batch of beef supermarket burgers in Ireland. Silvercrest Foods is the second-largest beef processor in Ireland.

Dynamic Range Control (DRC) for Multichannel Audio Systems
The dynamic range of audio programs is often larger than the reproduction dynamic range available at home or in a noisy environment. A dynamic range control system for multichannel audio systems (with 5.1, 3/2, or other compatible formats) using the ISO/MPEG-2 audio standard is proposed, which is mostly compatible with that standardized for the two-channel European DAB. It may be applicable to digital video broadcasting (DVB), multichannel digital audio broadcasting (DAB), or other transmission or storage systems of multichannel audio with or without accompanying picture.

Dell Hell
In June of 2005 +Jeff Jarvis posted a rant on his blog Buzz Machine titled "Dell lies. dell sucks" www.buzzmachine.com/archives/2005_06_21.html
That post sparked a customer revolt. Dell's market cap has deteriorated ever since. Certainly the customer discontent from 2005 is not the only reason for Dell's difficulty. But I'm sure it was a factor. Dell today takes Social Business seriously, with one of the most sophisticated social listening command centers on the planet.
Soooo, Dell wants to play games with my time and no compensation. We shall see about that! I recently ordered a TV from Dell. The same TV was offered on ebay, but being a long time purchaser of Dell products I wanted to see if they would expedite the shippment which they agreed on. Found out after I arrived home early on Friday that the TV would not arrive until Monday (1 day away from work early, cost = $200) Found out it would not be here on Saturday (cost to me 0$, I don't work on Saturdays but had to watch the game on a tiny TV :(
Came home early on Monday the 16th to find that the TV again would not be here until the 19th (what part of expedited shipping did we miss here? Home early fom work again, cost $200.00) The TV has no caused me more grief and problems then it is worth! Do not believe promises made by Dell to get the TV here on some sort of expedited shipping, just a false way of looring you in to buy their product.

Highlonesome at Propaganda, December 26
Four-piece Highlonesome originally formed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, but an obsession with vintage Americana drove the band to real mountain territory: Tennessee. Now based in Murfreesboro, the group, led by frontman and songwriter Noah T., specializes in pure crying-into-beer fare. Think lots of mournful crooning paired with banjo and the occasional Southern-gothic spiritual. The foursome is joined at this post-Christmas Propaganda show by Graham Lindsey, the band's labelmate on Farmaggedon Records and a veteran of the Madison, Wisconsin, punk rock scene. These days, he specializes largely in stripped-down, rootsy singer-songwriter material à la Tom Waits and Billy Bragg.

Is This a Challenging Week for You?
I don't know about other people, but this is a challenging time of year for me, organizationally. I have a couple of weeks off, so I can theoretically get a lot done around the house...but I'm exhausted from the previous weeks of visiting, shopping, cleaning and cooking.
Two of the closets I'd successfully cleaned out in recent months got stuff crammed in them again to get it out of the way before visiting family arrived, etc.
I know it will be months before I have time off to deal with decluttering or organizing again, but I really just want to sit down, put my feet up, and read a book.
Anyone else wishing the shoemaker's elves would come at night and just make it all better?
"Two of the closets I'd successfully cleaned out in recent months got stuff crammed in them again to get it out of the way before visiting family arrived, etc."
I learned a long time ago that doing that does NOT work for me.
So I never, ever shove things anywhere.
Soon the visitors and the festivities will be over, and you can work on those closets again!
Elves WOULD be nice, though....
I used to hate this week. Too much stuff around, the tree up, decorations no longer cheerful. Kids underfoot, what's worse than a bored child? Feeling fat, too much eating. Yeah I hate it and can't wait to get back to "normal." Back to healthy eating, back on a schedule, regular tidying. forget those closets for now.Go read a book or watch a good movie.
Yes--I have had to work through the holidays, though had some time here and there at home, and find myself getting the heebie-jeebies at the entropy creep of holiday snack items, extra dishes from visitors, using holiday-type serving pieces that my family doesn't know what to do with afterward (always a balance of, do I use these things because it will mean a lot to me and maybe to my family, or will it be just one more extra thing to manage) , gifts out on table tops, DD home for school vacation with all her stuff, all in addition to the usual daily stuff. Keep thinking, I thought I had it organized/decluttered so would be better. Have to take deep breaths.
Coping mechanisms include rely on the "put 10 things away" ( or 5!) and focus on one thing at a time ( load dishwasher; wash a load of towels) and reward with cup of tea and book or favorite music--try not to get caught up in negative brain-cycles about ALL there is to do. Also need to remember some form of exercise--again, even the 5 or 10-minute session--harder when it is so chilly and am drawn to curl up under fuzzy throw ! Plus, tell myself that this is not the time I can reorganize closets or drawers--what with work and family--that can wait for when I have some time off. Focus on keeping up with just the essentials.
I was feeling awfully sorry for myself yesterday. It's been lousy weather for a couple of weeks and I've been doing a lot of baby-wrangling and house-wrangling. The Spousal Unit knew that I was feeling blue and just took over a lot of stuff for the day, which was nice.
That helped and we had a guest cancel because of the weather and while I want to see the person, I did not want to see them yesterday so that was a relief.
Also, this is when the year starts to feel "stale" to me. It may be irrational, but I want the new year and the feeling of a fresh start!
I have made this oldie my mantra for keeping up with things this week and all others. Every time I leave a room I look around with this tune in my head. Then I put 3 things away or take them with me to be put where they belong.
Here is a link that might be useful: 1-2-3
Yes, it is trying and today I decided I'd put the stockings away and all the Santas that were on the mantle. Then I put the manger scene away, and all the angels. I hate this kind of work so bad that I have to delegate it. Tomorrow I'll take down the tree, and the front door wreath and Santa flag. Then I'll give it a day or so before I get the gift wrapping, bags, tissue, etc. together. DH will have to do the outside lights. It's a hassle all right!
Thanks for posting the song Cross Stitch! I love that song, and maybe it will help me put things away!
I usually take all my decorations down and put them away on New Year's Day, but you are all inspiring me to do it sooner. I am done with the holidays for all of the reasons you have all listed above. :)
I LOOVE that song! Thanks for the link.
All my undecorating is done, which wasn't too hard since we decided not to put up a tree this year. Dividing my time between two houses brings out a bit of a grinch in me. And, I didn't go out on Sunday to buy those 1/2 off Christmas items either.
Did it seem like Christmas? Not exactly, but there is always next year.....
Remember The Three D's: Dinner, dishes, duds. Meaning cook one meal a day, keep the dishes washed and dried and put away, and keep up the laundry. Today I'm waiting for the plumber to come-the pipe under the kitchen sink is leaking, I can't keep up with the Second D- dishes!

Jodeci feat. B.o.B, "Nobody Wins"
Jodeci unveiled a new song with B.o.B earlier this season at the Soul Train Awards called "Nobody Wins." The track addresses domestic abuse and they dropped the lyric video for it today. It fuses imagery from several domestic violence cases as well as information on how to get out and get help.
As Jodeci comes back hard with a deep message and their highly anticipated reunion seems to be closer than ever, let's take a look at other artists who've addressed domestic violence in their music.

Why aren't there any...
Oldies seed offers! For those of us that have been on the GardenWeb for over a year. Think about it!
i guess cuz they figure ya have too many seeds.
Right...by the time you are an oldie, you should be a 'pusher' like the rest of us.
I saw I have about 5 or more things on your wish list. Send me a bubble mailer and 80 cents (MY PO charges correctly, LOL) and I'll send you some. If ya send 97 cents in stamps I'll load ya up on some stuff (fresh from 2007 )to add to your trading list. e me.
Sue...resident busy body and a senior seed pusher
You are a Czar, Bakemom! I have some containers sitting outside right now, thinking about spring in the rain & snow. All seeds you gave me! Hopefully my front flower bed this year will look as nice as my veggie garden does in the back. All thanks to you, at least it has a shot at looking good!
I'll just aim for junior seed pusher for the fall!
I actually tried this a few years ago when Spike was in charge, and he remove my posting and sent me a notice threatening to ban me for a month...
I would love to offer seeds to long-time members as I think (1) they deserve it! (2) they are probably more experienced at seed starting and might thus be more successful at some of the more complicated procedures needed for the rarer and difficult-to-germinate seeds. I have been afraid of getting angry email from those who think they are being excluded, though I never see anyone get mad when only newbies are offered seeds.
So boo... can I offer you an SASBE? Take a look at my list and see if there's anything you might like.
This wasn't a ploy for me to mooch for more seeds (although I did see some I like on your list Kate!) I think you bring up some valid points. The people who have been gardening for years have more determination and dedication towards gardening. They would probably go the extra step to find out how to start the seeds, grow them and propagate them. I'm sorry Spike gave you a difficult time.
I was Tea-cupped by Spike once too...something about comparing presidential candidates to vegetables. I learned my lesson, don't mix politics and gardening.
I was Tea-cupped by Spike once too...something about comparing presidential candidates to vegetables.
LMAO...ole SPIKO, IMHO, had about as much tact as a cold fart. I too was disneyed. There were many theories that were thought to be the possible cause of his extreme lack of reasoning...if you catch my drift. I haven't missed that fart for one second. He just struck me as one crabby miserable person.
I know some folks get upset when things don't go as they should, (and advertising at times too) but all in all, I think they do a great job. At least they warn a person instead of sending them to the tea cups.
Sue...with one warning down

Mattress Woes - HELP Urgently Needed!
Good People on the Furniture Forum I need HELP!
We purchased a full-size Vera Wang mattress and box spring from a seemingly reputable retailer (35 5-star ratings on Yelp). Within days it started to sag. The retailer immediately exchanged it for another Vera Wang mattress and box spring with no hesitation. Same make and model. It sagged within a week or two as well. We thought it was a defective batch. So, he exchanged the Vera Wang for a different model Serta mattess and box spring. And now, not even 90 days later it is sagging too! How much? By over 1.5" at the center of the bed, straight down the middle. It's like the Grand Canyon! You can hardly crawl out of bed in the morning. And by the way, DH and I are small and relatively light people!
We asked the retailer on the two previous occasions when we exchanged the mattresses to come and check the metal frame to see if that was the trouble. There did not seem to be a problem then or now with it. We have been patient but have no confidence that he can offer us a bed that is not defective.
We want our money back and he is only offering to exchange the mattress and bedspring yet again. We have a 90-day "guarantee". He assured us this "guarantee" meant that if we were dissatisfied for any reason, we could return the mattress for a full refund. He has now changed his tune and says the "guarantee" only allows us to return the mattress in exchange for another model. And the 90-days within which we can exchange expires this coming Tuesday.
I need your suggestions and sage advice. Please help!
Contact the Better Business Bureau and let that store know you are doing so. Then tell them you are going to contact an attorney.
I say these mattress folks are scammers. They will sell you junk calling it the Queen's bed. I am convinced that what's under each mattress cover is basically the same thing and the only difference is the padding and covering on top of the guts.
Good luck. We've been down that same road before. It's not fun.
Thank you for responding thoughts999! That's just crazy that you have had such bad experiences with mattresses. I'm sorry to hear it. Sad to say, I'm now hearing a lot of similar stories.
Since you are a reputable retailer who once sold mattresses, I would appreciate knowing your mindset and point of view. Would there have been any circumstances under which you would have fully refunded a customer's money? Would my situation have qualified - three strikes and you're out? The more I can understand the retailer's point of view, the more likely it is we can come to a solution that is fair to all parties.
Thank you so much for your help.
So here's how the story turned out. Did you know you have 6 months to dispute charges on your Discover card? We called Discover and registered a dispute over the mattress. DIscover was terrific! They, in turn, sent a letter to the mattress shop owner telling him he had 30 days to dispute our dispute. In the meanwhile, the charge was removed from our credit card.
The mattress store owner sent the truck out within a few days to pick up the mattress. He never disputed the charge, so after 30 days, the amount was deducted from his Discover account and we have been refunded the full amount.
On a curious note, our cat HATED the original mattress. She would hiss and cry at it and race away from it at top speed. Maybe she knew something we didn't. Anyway, good riddance to that mattress.
We subsequently bought a 10" all latex mattress at Costco, which is fully returnable, no questions asked. But we love it! So,all is well.
I wondered once or twice whether we received a new or a used mattress, and I wondered about the fate of the mattresses we returned. The retailer opened a clearance center recently. Hmmmmmm....
The experience with the Costco mattress was flawless. We ordered it online. The next day we received a call from an executive at the company that makes that mattress, telling us when we could expect it and giving us his phone number if I had any questions at any time. We received the mattress 1-2 weeks early. The delivery company were flawless. They delivered exactly on time and they even asked to wash their hands before they handled the mattress. Supremely good customer service!

Product Description
It's summer vacation, but the Pearson family kids are stuck at a boring lake house with their nerdy parents. That is until feisty, little, green aliens crash-land on the roof, with plans to conquer the house AND Earth! Using only their wits, courage and video game-playing skills, the youngsters must band together to defeat the aliens and save the world -- but the toughest part might be keeping the whole thing a secret from their parents! Featuring an all-star cast including Ashley Tisdale, Andy Richter, Kevin Nealon and Tim Meadows, Aliens In The Attic is the most fun you can have on this planet!

Video game meets movie in this wacky science-fiction action film. When aliens from space invade the attic of a rented lake house, a boring summer vacation takes a turn for the unreal for six kids. Conflict abounds in the extended Pearson family, which includes Nana (Dora Roberts), two nerdy adult brothers (Kevin Nealon and Andy Richter), and their six children. Teenage cousins Tom (Carter Jenkins), an ex-math nerd, and Jake (Austin Robert Butler), a rebellious teen with lots of attitude, clash like oil and water, and Bethany (Ashley Tisdale) and her devious boyfriend, Ricky (Robert Hoffman), don't make the situation any easier. Add in three younger siblings and it looks like it's going to be a long vacation. When four aliens crash on the roof of the house in search of a secret weapon and world domination, things begin to get interesting. Armed with mind-control technology, the aliens are able to manipulate humans with a device that's remarkably similar to a video game controller. Unfortunately for the aliens, the technology works only on adults. Suddenly, the warring cousins and siblings realize they must join forces and rely on one another to save their parents, Nana, and the rest of the world. What ensues is an action-packed battle in which the kids try to outsmart the aliens with everything from fireworks to a remote-controlled Barbie car and a paintball gun. When the kids get ahold of the aliens' controllers, hilarity reins as they make Ricky and Nana do everything from slap themselves to fight as only an accomplished Kung-Fu Grandma can. The action is funny and the kids get fairly creative, but the movie is really just a farce that's full of silly humor, the occasional glimpse of heart, and a somewhat buried message that it's OK to be smart. Aliens in the Attic is kind of like watching someone else play a good video game; the plot is fairly entertaining and the action is fun, but the experience just isn't as stimulating as when you're the one behind the controller. Bonus features include the animated short "Behind the Zirkonians," an alternate ending, three deleted scenes, a 5-minute gag reel, an interactive "Meet the Zirkonians" segment, and fun on the set with Ashley Tisdale in "The Ashley Encounters." (Ages 7 and older) --Tami Horiuchi

Valentines For Kids
TYLER — KVNE and KGLY are 2 non-profit Christian radio stations here in East Texas. Afternoon DJ Jeff Johnson says they're hoping to make Valentine's Day a little more special for kids in the hospital.
They're calling it "Valentines for Kids."
They're inviting schools, churches, families or other children to bring their handmade Valentines to cheer up kids that need a little cheering up.
"It's very easy to say that you love someone or that you care about someone or say that you want to help a child that's in the hospital...but you put feet to your faith when you actually pick up some crayons and markers and make a Valentine for a kid in the hospital," Johnson said.
Even businesses are getting involved.
"All of our staff was very involved in creating the Valentine's cards. Everyone took part in it, everyone enjoyed it, and it did bring back several childhood memories of creating Valentines for that special Valentine and we just wanted to share that," said Olga Mondragon with the Better Business Bureau.
Angel Hunt is 15. She says even though a Valentine is not much -- she knows it helps.
"It feels great, I feel like I'm blessing children who really need to know that God loves them and God's there for them and that...they're not going through this alone," Hunt said.
The radio stations are inviting folks to drop off the Valentines by this Sunday -- at any of the collection sites listed on KVNE.com or KGLY.com.

Lake Fork
Seth Vanover's
Lake Fork Cat fishing and Crappie Fishing Report
January, 2015
Winter is certainly here which means change is in the air folks! Lake Fork levels are low right now so please be careful when using even the boating lanes. Other than the level, the lake is in great shape and the fishing is good both here and Lake O Pines.
Lets start with the Lake Fork. The crappie have moved into the hard winter pattern and are bunched up on main lake areas such as dams and deep points. Look for the shad congregated deep and you will find the crappie. The main target depth should be around 30 to 35 feet in these areas. Minnows have been producing best lately with the jig bite really a day to day thing on what the fish want and how they want it.
On to Lake O Pines. Easiest way to put it is Pines is on fire right now!! We have been boating several limits of nice size black and white crappie. The bite, like on Fork, can vary from day to day. One day the fish will want a jig, the next they will want a minnow so be prepared for both. the fish are hanging near the mouth of the main river channel in 25 to 32 feet of water. A good technique to use for these fish is drifting. Just make sure you have enough weight to keep your bait near the bottom.
Also, the White Bass have already began to show up on the Sabine River! We had a trip in late December where we caught around 150 or so. Right now, these are the small males coming from Toledo Ben, but it will not be long and the magnum females will be showing up. Its a blast to take a kiddo in thsi trip! Non stop action I promise.
Hope this helps everyone and if you are looking for a trip on any of the bodies of water, give me a call and lets plan a trip!

Current fights back tears
It makes me say,' Oh eeew,'
To see a dirty loo.

For Susan's Ordinary contest
It is fine if thou
cannot be mine,
But if only for today can thine self
be my valentine?
rhyme battle #6
I can be more than just simple, short and sweet
But you'll never know until the day that we meet
there is beauty
as far or near as
the eye can see
sometimes we have to
close our eyes and
open our minds
to see it.
Y oung man, a poet of some form
U nderneath the stars he sits
J otting down sweet words this morn
V ery much enjoying it.
You are never alone when you are with you.
For Judy Cronos's quote contest.
I was inspired by Casarah's "you" poem.

Best. Trance. Ever.
I consider this a trance, mostly because it's very, VERY upbeat, and has leads. <3
I just LOVE this song. Better that Melody From Heaven. This has just the right mix of repetition and variation. Layering is great. Just. Fucking. AWESOME.
I will rate this 5s every time I think about it.
Love it.
Oh glad you liked it :D
Rated 5 / 5 stars
thank you
i was in a bad mood but after playing the elephant run i was so happy i just had to comment on you and you alone cause this song has changed me i actually am crying tears of joy as i write this
Waw that's awesome :)
Thanks for the review!!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Your song has feeling.
Around a year ago, I was going through rough times. When I felt low, and needed a boost, I pulled out my MP3 and popped a good dose of ReMotion. And man, did it feel good. This song reeks of positive, inspiring energy. Truly masterwork. 10/10, and I wish I could give more.
Glad I could help :)
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I agree with Dagashi.
I play this song whenever I play QWOP.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Simply awesome!
Some songs give people the inspiration, the rush and the drive to push themselves further. This is undoubtedly one of those songs. Just by listening to it, you get this welling feeling that you can go out there and accomplish ANYTHING!
It takes great talent to do this. And you are obviously an old friend of that type of talent. Kudos!!! :)
Thanks for the kind words!!
