NBA Star Steve Nash Will Focus on Film Career When Lakers Contract Expires
Steve Nash, the newest member of the Los Angeles Lakers, is happy to be making his new home in Hollywood.
The flashy point guard, who was traded to the Lakers on Wednesday after eight years with the Phoenix Suns (the deal becomes official July 11, per NBA rules), runs a production company, Meathawk, with his cousin, Ezra Holland.
Their first feature, Into the Wind -- about the life of Terry Fox, an amputee who attempted to run across Canada for cancer research in 1980 -- debuted at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival and aired as part of ESPN's 30 for 30 documentary series.

"I'd like to play three more years and then get more involved in some of these other pursuits, most notably my production company. It is something I spend a lot of time on," Nash recently told Forbes.
Nash and Holland co-directed the film.
Now the Canadian playmaker, whose new three-year deal with the Lakers is worth a reported $27 million, is said to be working as a producer on a film about Brazilian soccer legend Pele that is timed for the 2014 World Cup.
Nash, 38, also has an ownership interest in the Vancouver Whitecaps, a Major League Soccer franchise.
The future Hall of Famer has appeared as himself in such films as Like Mike (2002) and Life as We Know It (2010) and on episodes of Entourage, The Cleveland Show and Barfly. Meathawk has done ads for Nike, VitaminWater, Toyota and EA Sports, some of which have featured the basketball star.
Nash, a two-time NBA Most Valuable Player, pushed for the trade to the Lakers. He averaged 12.5 points and 10.7 assists (second in the NBA) for the Suns last season, and he's fifth all-time in assists, right behind Lakers legend Magic Johnson.

64-bit x86 Computing Reaches 10th Anniversary 332
from the long-live-athlonmp dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Does 64 bits really mean that every program is twice as big as it needs to be? Every time I hear about an innovation that requires things to be bigger, I question the necessity.
If it's such a success, why does 64-bit software generally only run marginally faster than its 32-bit build? 64-bit binaries are larger and might run 103% at the speed of 32-bit if you're lucky.
Sure, it helps with the 4GB memory space limit, but so can smart memory management and other approaches.
I could see it being useful for super-computing things, but in general, there still just doesn't seem to be a point.
Wow, just wow. Do you actually work in the software field???
do you? for average PC applications (browsing the web, e-mail, office documents) 64 bit gives no advantage. for the above-average applications (multimedia creation/editing, CADD, running multiple VMs, ) it's very helpful.
1) Yes, I do.
2) You are so wrong that it's actually funny.
All the simple programs have been written.

Alberta residents need stoplight, park
Published: Monday, October 31, 2005 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, October 30, 2005 at 11:00 p.m.
Dear Editor: I am a resident of Alberta City who has lived in this community for 42 years. Its very nice to see Alberta grow with changes.
The landscaping on University Boulevard has made a great difference. But we are in need of a traffic light to get out on school mornings.
Dont take everything away from some of the communities. Alberta citizens, please share your ideas about Jaycees Park. I have heard rumors of changing this park into a walking area.
If you change this park, then that would eliminate the fair. The fair comes once a year. So lets keep it for our children. I can remember as a young child looking forward to the fair. Please let the community decide.

Optimal use of scarce information: When partisan voters are socially useful
We develop a model of simultaneous and sequential voting in a committee where members do not share their private information and do not have the same preferences. When objective functions differ, an optimal order in the sequential game can be found, leading to a unique socially optimal equilibrium. Our result rationalizes the presence of biased (i.e., partisan) voters in small committees as a way of reaching social optimality.

Kibs Sings his anime review this week, at the request of Sandy. Lyrics: This is a message, they wrote you a note here: "Please Forgive" It's hard to understand just why I came here This was their dying…their dying wish was to confess All the things they could not say before it was too late… There's no point in crying for you long lost lover As long as you remember that your love was so pure. Now your mourning is done, let me show you my gun All you people who are still alive. I'm pretty angry, I'll have to admit I was quite pissed When you used me for all of your writing. It tore me to pieces, I got a new personality. But then, of course, she got real mad, and then she kind of shot you. Now five points of data I would like to give you: Animation was good, and the soundtrack was too. The story was fun, characters number one. Overall I can say it's a five.

Of course, the rooted talent in this post is of course Robbins Reef Light.

Here was 4.
So I 've had a problem today: I tried to do a portrait of Gage Paul Thornton, and that tall building and confederates jumped in the way.
I took another . .. and the green lady interrupted.
I attempt a solo shot of James Turecamo, and the green lady AND the orange ferry need to get involved.
So I thought I'd try it again . . . a bowshot of the 1930 charter yacht Diplomat . . . same effect.
Ditto . . . Dorothy J. Well, maybe background context is important . . . like to show that the New york York Media Boat is timely as well as punctual
maybe it's time to listen what the woodchuck told me yesterday, go home, polish my lens, have some really hot tea . . . and wait for warm sunshine.

What's this? I'll get around to identification in a bit. Sistine chapel ceiling? Sister of Sistine? For now, everyone knows the genre of "nose art" on aircraft.
Trucks . . . most likely the owner operator variety . . . sometimes display.
Then there's official marking with numbers and painted emblems to clearly mark purpose as well as to
bedazzle, make nimtopsical, render too fuddled to head tail or trail . . .
display trophies.
Then there's this . . . by sea and
I prefer the Vallejo inspired above to the Disney knock offs below.
Here she is . . . probably
Steiner built.
Since we can't really call this nose art, let's call it bow, stern, or house art. Send me you favorite examples . . . from commercial vessels only?

By the way, Mohawk WPG-78 above was reefed about a year after I took that photo. Here and here are links to that vessel that now dazzles divers. I'd love to hear from anyone who's dived on it.
David Hindin alerted me when this voyage started on November 8 . . . departing San Francisco, sixth boro bound. I'm very happy to share some folks fotos of Tradewinds Miss Lis' arrival at the Narrows this morning. Many thanks to Peter Michael Patrick Codd, who sent the first two.

Here was post #1 of what could become a series from over five years ago.
Dusk rarely finds me at my places along Richmond Terrace, but last night I was here with elizabeth, and she took a pic much like this one, and when she sent it to FB with the question "Guess who my dinner date is?" one friend wrote back . . . "the great Gatsby?" So call this . . . what the great Gatsby sees as tugster on a short day's journey into night, apologies to Mr O'neill.

Gatsby's for the night . . . was actually Blue–formerly known as R. H. Tugs. From Blue, it was a short walk to Sailors Snug Harbor for the 25th annual John A. Noble Art Auction. And I'm very pleased to say that
a print of my foto below brought $500 into the museum's funds for restoration of Robbins Reef Light, and the framed foto went home with a very happy friend. To see the other 49 items in the auction catalog, click here.

I did this post in April 2013, but you should befriend them on Facebook at Tug Life at Henry Marine for a different take on working in the sixth boro. Anyone know where this airplane has gone/is going? Two of several previous posts with airplanes on barges are here and here.
Over in Tottenville, it's Bertha and the Outerbridge beyond that. Thanks to Ashley for this foto. Previously, Ashley sent along this foto.
Up near the Thousand Islands and the Canadian border, it's Bowditch, foto compliments of Bob Stopper. Bowditch dates from 1954 and used to be called Hot Dog. More of Bob's fotos from upstate NY and other places soon.

All these fotos–except the ones identified as flashbacks–I took while resting yesterday. The indomitable Helen Parker, intrepidly westbound among giants. I believe she was last on this blog a year ago here.
I believe this is Coastline Bay Star. If so, when did she get the reconfigured exhaust route?
Also squeezed between giants, James Turecamo, who has appeared on this blog possibly more than any other tugboat. James was launched in greater Waterford, NY late in 1969. Click here to see James tailing Caddell's new drydock back in May. More on this flashback later in this post.
Hunt Girls, which I haven't seen in a while.
AT IMTT Bayonne Dean Reinauer and RTC 106, which appeared on this blog last week, configured differently. Dean is so new that if you go back to that link with the foto of James tailing, you'll see the upper house of a Dean which at that time had never yet floated!

What's this? Where? Answer follows. It's not really sepia per se, just an approximation.
I took this foto a week ago, then stripped out the color. It's Yemitzis, the former
PRR Philadelphia, launched 1954. Major modifications have happened between the two incarnations.
Here's another foto I took last week, Resolute. With its ample pudding, it's a perfect candidate to be sepia-fied.
The top foto was taken by Fred Wehner a few days ago; that's not Rosie the riveter but Capt. Wendy Marble, working to prep her vessel Urger, for the 2013 season. Here, here, and here are some full color fotos previously featuring Urger, who initially looked like this over a century ago.
Thanks to Paul Strubeck for the foto of PRR Philadelphia.
I suspected as much when I saw this train . . . although I was quite surprised by the tug out front.
I hadn't seen Yemitzis under way for a few years now. Yemitzis dates from 1954, launched as Pennsylvania RailRoad's Philadelphia, hull 227. Here's the link. . . but scroll about 2/3 through to get to PRR tugs info. So Yemitzis is one of the oldest hulls working here. Tailing tug Robert IV is 1975. No, the newest hull is the black box between them, hull #92 just launched at Senesco, destined to be part of a drydock at Caddell's.
Meanwhile , I'm happy to see Yemitzis out and about working again.
Does anyone have a foto of her as PRR's Philadelphia?

Copy Titanium Backup files to PC via USB
I'm having trouble copying Titanium Backup files from my phone to my PC (Android 4.4.2 / Windows 7).
I'm connected via USB, with developer mode turned on, using MTP connection.
I've accessed the internal memory on the phone in Windows Explorer:
Computer\XT1032\Internal storage\TitaniumBackup
...and just want to copy and paste all the backup files to my PC hard drive, to back them up.
Although I can see all the files in Windows Explorer on the phone memory, when I try to copy / paste them to the hard drive, either nothing happens or only 1 file copies over. There are 482 files to copy over. I don't understand why it's not working.
I tried select all > copy / paste (and keyboard shortcuts), dragging and dropping, but neither work. The copy function IS available in the context sensitive menu, as is paste, so it's available to use, but just doesn't work.
Hope someone can help?

Re: Copy Titanium Backup files to PC via USB
Seems like an odd problem. Might be worth trying to hit the refresh button on the windows address bar for the folder you are copying too.......
I've always found MTP a bit flakey, and connecting in mass storage mode on my tablet causes problems for that device as-well (resets wallpapers and widgets) so I long ago gave up connecting either device directly to the PC and now use ES explorer to connect via Wifi via a standard SMB/Windows Share. Transfer speed for long copy paste operations generally is about 1Mb/s.

Re: Copy Titanium Backup files to PC via USB
Bringing this up again as I'm having the same problem again.
I'm transferring from a Moto G to a Moto G 4G.
The old phone is rooted on 4.4
I have created a backup with titanium backup, and all the files exisit in \Computer\XT1032\Internal storage\TitaniumBackup - but when i copy and paste them to a folder on my PC via USB, only 1 of the 300+ files copies.
Any ideas?

Re: Copy Titanium Backup files to PC via USB
I find using mtp in general is a temperamental process, sometimes it works fine and others it just gives up completely, I tried moving my data over using ubuntu linux OS, I figured that the file system is the same so it might help, and it did! it copied everything without a glitch and it did it a hell of a lot faster then windows ever could!
HOWEVER the kernel that ubuntu is currently using has issues with mtp and when I tried to do it a seconf time it froze my pc completely (grr!) so you can go through a painful process of trying to update your linux kernel in ubuntu or you can try these things in wondows as I am right now as I type this:
option 1. using es file explorer make a zip file of your titanium backup folder, Ive had much better luck moving one file over mtp then I have several small files, this seems to work fairly well for me but the trouble I have at the moment is that I don't even have enough space on my nexus 5 to make another zip that big
option 2: Nexus Root Toolkit by wugfresh, I'm not sure if I can post links in here but just google "wugfresh" and it's the first result that comes up, this is commonly used to root and unroot nexus devices with ease and it works very well at doing that, but also you can use it to pull and push files to and from the device using adb (android debugging) *NOTE this feature does not support android 5.0 yet
option 3: buy a cheap usb-otg drive and move it over that way, again it's painfully slow and it chews your battery like a pitbull on a fresh bone if you have the patience it will get there eventually, using usb-otg requires root access for some stupid reason and you need a good file manager like es file explorer
option 3.5: similar to usb-otg but a hell of a lot faster is these neat little micro SD card readers you can buy, again I can't post links but google "Meenova"(.com) they only cost $12 (USD) and $3 for international shipping, they look pretty neat actually, I've ordered one and I'm just waiting for it to arrive.
but all and all mtp completely sucks, all the best and good luck

Re: Copy Titanium Backup files to PC via USB
I have the same problem. I tried dragging a bunch of files and folders from XT1033\Internal storage over to my D: drive, and some copied, but not all, and not all files in a folder either. Some files resist copying even when dragging just that one file.
Eventually I used SambaDroid to share the internal memory as a network share over wifi.
Copying my TitaniumBackup folder got up to 4 MB/s.
Note, SambaDroid doesn't show hidden files (beginning with a dot) so you can't copy them. [edit: actually it does, it's windows that hides the files, change that in Organize>Folder and search options>view>show hidden files]

Just compress then into zip file from your cellphone, and copy that zip to your PC

Any doc's out there? VCUG question

My ds recently had a uti (along with an ear infection and RSV). His pedi wants him to get a vcug. I'm really, really, really on the fence about this. I don't want to put him through something so invasive unless its necessary. Fwiw, my ds isn't circ'd and it was his first uti. Could I get away with waiting to see if it happens again? I'm wondering if his urine culture was contaminated.

Im not a Dr......But dd has had 3 VCUGs done. But only because she had repeated UTIs and I have a history of kidney reflux...and family history of kidney disease.
I dont know if i would put my dd through that again ever, especially since its his first, and there is no family history?
What where the circumstances of his UTI? I would get an opinion from a urologist asap, a pedi shouldnt be ordering such invasive tests without first sending you to a urologist IMO.
How old is your LO?

Not a professional but the mom of a 4yo intact son who has had a UTI (took four rounds of antibiotics and three docs to clear it up).
Our son didn't get his first UTI until he was 4 so we did not want to put him through a VCUG right away. He had an ultrasound that came back fine. The urologist told us at his age if he had reflux the ultrasound would more than likely have shown something.
If my son had gotten his first UTI when he was an infant I would probably have take a wait and see approach. I would want to clear up the first infection and then if he had another one I might explore more testing but through an intact friendly urologist.
I hope your little guy starts feeling better soon.

Was also wondering how old your LO is. Also, did they do a cath for the urine culture, and did your ds have any fever or nausea along with the UTI?
Not a doctor, but my daughter has bilateral kidney reflux and she has had 2 VCUG's. She had her first at 6 wks old and her second at 10 months (she'll have her 3rd in Nov). Obviously, I'm a little biased, but I would be inclined to have the test done in an infant/toddler under the age of 3, especially if it was accompanied by fever/nausea. If it is the first UTI in an older child, I might be more inclined to wait. It's hard to put your kids through difficult tests, but kidney infections can be very dangerous in young children.
As for the circumcision issue, if you decide to do the test, I recomend a children's hospital, and make sure you've talked to your doctor and that they have someone experienced doing the cath in uncirc'ed boys.
Hope he's feeling better!

Thank you for all of the advice, everyone. This is such a difficult decision to make, ya know?
My son is 3 months old. He did have a fever with the UTI but he also had RSV and an ear infection at the same time so I'm not sure what to make of it. He was cathed for the urine sample. He recently had another urine test (no cath this time) at his follow up pedi appt. and it came back negative. He had an ultrasound while he was in the hospital and it was fine. Nothing suspicious or out of the ordinary.
I had called the urologist to find out if the procedure was really neccessary but I was only able to speak with a nurse. She said it was standard procedure. I'm going to call back again to see if I can get ahold of an actual urologist, this time.

I hope you can speak with the urologist soon. I know this is probably not what you want to hear (sorry) but honestly for a UTI in a 3 month old, I would do the test. I agree that your case is a little more complicated b/c of the ear infection and RSV (poor baby!!!) so I can see why you are hesitant. Since they cath'ed the test was probably pretty acurate. A VCUG is not a fun test (at all) but it is done without sedation, and it only takes about 30 minutes. I have actually found that it was much easier to do when dd was little. She doesn't have any memory of it so it wasn't traumatic (at least not for her - maybe a little for me).
An ultrasound is a good tool for seeing some problems, but it cannot diagnose reflux, and is fairly inaccurate in seeing a lot of the problems that can be found in the urinary tract. It will show any major scarring in the kidneys, but can miss small scarring or abnormalities like duplicated ureters, etc.
If you decide not to do the test, just make sure you know all the signs of a UTI in an infant. There is a greater chance of damage to the kidneys with a UTI under the age of 1 year, and the faster you get treatment, the better chance of preserving the kidneys. For us the signs were generally poor eating with a high fever or foul smelling urine.
Good luck with your decision.

I would honestly what to know the stats on how many boys with only 1 UTI have kidney reflux. It seems like a trend these days to overuse VCUG.
Since your LO's immune system was already compromised fighting off RSV, etc, then I would be less inclined to do the VCUG for only one UTI. I would definitely get a 2nd opinion before doing VCUG.
I agree with the PP who suggested being very careful about the personnel who will cath your LO. My DH is always trying to educate nurses about the proper way to cath intact boys. Even ped nurses frequently pull back the foreskin at least partially.

Have you been to a Pediatric Urologist?? It might be worth a drive to a bigger city if you don't have one near you. Generally they don't over react, are used to the sensitivities of kids/babies... I wouldn't do anything until you get a second opinion from (another?) urologist. I certainly wouldn't do this on the advice of a pediatrician only.
I am not a professional, just a mom whose intact son also had urinary problems. But NOT related to being intact.

Check out these previous threads about VCUG.
Personally, unless I would *do* something differently due to the potential results of a diagnostic test, I wouldn't put myself or child through it. An ultrasound could indicate some antatomical concerns. But, with one UTI, I wouldn't start with a VCUG. I would rather do a monthly Urine for culture and sensitivity, to assure no UTI. And probiotics prophylactically.
"probiotics prophylaxis was as effective as antibiotic prophylaxis in children with persistent primary VUR. "
I am concerned that a breastfed baby has had so many infections, so young. The issue is that multiple infections could be a symptom that your baby's immune system is impaired.
Unfortunately, steroids and antibiotics further suppress the immune system. I'd be concerned about gut healing for both of you as many immune system issues are due to dietary allergies and undigested proteins from mama's milk. There are many alternatives to improve the immune function. I imagine there is some underlying allergy issue, either environmental or dietary.
Most commonly, dairy is associated with ear infections and excess mucus production. Does baby have any eczema, green mucusy stools, red ring around anus, rash, reflux, restless sleep "normally"?
I always prefer whole food probiotics.
Not sure which probiotics you all are using, if any. But, none of the bottled probiotics have the same ability to withstand the stomach acid and remain viable into the large intestine as non-dairy kefir, fermented vegetables. Those are quite easy, if you need more info.
Probiotics can prevent UTIs. So can homeopathy.
Specific research studies are linked in the threads.
I would eliminate dairy from your diet. Dairy is the most common source of dietary allergen and mucus production. Here is a list of hidden diary:
I recommend vitamins and minerals come from whole foods. But, have you been following the digestion, absorption, detox pathways discussions to gut healing and allergy resolution? Basically, if we
the proteins, they don't leak and thus we have fewer toxins to detox. Proper stomach acid (HCl) and specific nutrients are required for detox. You can read more about all of this here:
This is a copy of a recent post of mine regarding ear infections and the association with dairy intolerance.
"In one study an astonishing 86% of the children tested became free of ear problems once they came off dairy food."

Here is what Dr. Sears says:
"Except for the ultrasound, none of these tests sounds very fun, especially when it's YOUR child. Deciding when testing should be done is difficult. You need to weigh the likelihood that an abnormality is there and how serious such abnormalities can be versus the trouble and trauma of putting your child through such testing. Here is the standard medical recommendation that most doctors may follow. Children should have an ultrasound and VCUG in these instances:
Newborns who have a single bladder infection
Infants less than one year of age who have a second bladder infection
Older children who have had more than three or four infections
Your doctor may choose to be more or less aggressive than these guidelines. There is really no "right way" to decide."
I guess at 3 months old your DS qualifies as an infant so I would wait for a second UTI before even considering such an invasive test. If you decide not to do the test I'd be really carefully watching him to catch the next UTI asap. The UTI's are what is dangerous to kids with VUR and that is why they are treated with long term/low dose abx to prevent infections. You may even choose to do at home urine tests. And also as PP said I would consider if there is any family history of VUR, because that maybe inclination of possibility of you DS having this.

Just thought I would throw out this
in case it was useful. It talks about imaging for boys under the age of 8 wks with UTI. I know your LO is a little older than that, but it is an interesting article with some statistics to boot. Boys are actually more prone to having urinary issues before the age of 1 than girls are. After the age of 1 that changes quite dramatically.
Too be honest, I'm not sure that getting a second opinion from another urologist (assuming you're seeing one already) will be different, simply b/c the AAP recommends doing the VCUG so most if not all urologists would recommend it, even if it was just as a CYA. We spoke to 3 different uros and all recommended it for us.
Pat also makes a very good point. If you are not willing to treat the VUR with prophylactic antibiotics, then it may not be worth doing the test unless there are other UTI's, or other urinary issues.

George Zimmerman to Request Delay in Trial
George Zimmerman's defense team plans to ask a Florida judge to delay the start of Zimmerman's second-degree murder trial and wants the court to order the release of the dead teenager's school records and social media accounts.

Watch A Parched Lake Granbury Rise By 5 Feet In Just 24 Hours (Video)
Originally published on Mon June 23, 2014 10:20 pm
Drought-stricken North Texas has received lots of rain over the past few days – and Lake Granbury has benefited. We have video proof.
At 9 a.m. Sunday, the water level at Lake Granbury in Hood County was around 682 feet. By 9 a.m. Monday, the level was up to 687 feet – 5 feet in just 24 hours.
The Granbury area got 7.36 inches of rain on Sunday. Granbury previously had about 7 inches of rain all year.
Earlier today, on its YouTube page, the National Weather Service in Fort Worth released a neat time-lapse sequence of the lake filling up:
You might recall that a woman's remains were discovered in Lake Granbury in April thanks to the drought. Low lake levels from the drought revealed a pickup. Inside: a skeleton.
Lake Granbury wasn't the only North Texas lake to benefit from the weekend rain. In just 24 hours, water levels rose by 3 feet at Lake Whitney and 2.6 feet at Lake Pat Cleburne. Other lakes, including Waco Lake and Lake Benbrook, also rose, but by less than a foot.
It's raining, it's pouring ...
Over the past couple of days, areas west and south of Dallas-Fort Worth have received the most rain. As of 7 a.m. Monday, Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport has recorded .85 inches of rain, while Denton has recorded 1.45 inches. Waco has gotten 4.29 inches. Hood, Somervell and Bosque counties are among the areas receiving the most rain over the past three days.
On Sunday, an area south of Glen Rose received the most rain -- 8.5 inches. Glen Rose is in Somervell County. Read more about the recent rainfall on the KERA Weather Blog.
... but the drought continues
The rain is helping, but it won't erase the drought. On Thursday, the United States Drought Monitor released its latest map showing the latest conditions in Texas. Extreme drought persists across Dallas-Fort Worth. But counties to the west of Dallas-Fort Worth, and counties in the Panhandle, remain stuck in exceptional drought. The drought has led Wichita Falls to rely on recycling toilet water.

So They Say
Collected Stories
Authored by Jack Andrew Urquhart
So They Say follows southern-born Rex Fordham on a five-decades-long journey across America, to Europe, and back again. The product of 1950s conformism and self-repression, perennially bulky and awkward as a child and adolescent, Rex sheds a burdensome past to become a successful architect, husband and father; but the same unbendable laws of human attraction that threatened his youth torment him as an adult. When a same-sex affair and an unspeakable loss destroy his marriage, Rex must abandon his search for place and personhood or change course. Post divorce life in San Francisco-where Rex finds hope and passion in the person of entrepreneur Rand Osmond-offers a chance for happiness; but will Rex's fear of failure and lingering feelings of unworthiness derail his chances for self-acceptance and love-especially when loss once again comes calling?

Night Moves: The Best Evening Bags
There's nothing quite like the Victoria's Secret show. After years in Miami the Angels made a triumphant return to New York City last year where they remain this fall. There's been a flurry of activity over the past two weeks as the world's best artists – from makeup to costumes, from hair stylists to models – descended upon Manhattan to prepare for last night's blow-out.
We initially caught up with the girls at their first fitting, early last week, where they had just a few hours to find their balance between their new wings and sky high heels. Say "Cheese!"

OK to plant in the swamp?
I read that "rose mallow" is a good plant to put in a soggy, boggy area. I have a red hardy perennial hibiscus that I was constantly watering last year. Is this the same plant that they were talking about? Are all mallows / hibiscuses / rose-of-sharons suitable for this type of wet area?
Here is a link that might be useful: Landscape Plants for Wet Sites
Lady, did you read the whole page? It states that plants the plants listed 'could' live in a wetland area for a certain amount of time..I don't think it's a good idea, keeping your hibiscus in soggy soil.
I usually let Mother Nature water my hardy hibiscus..Not only are they hardy regarding temps, but are amazing when it comes to water neglect..
Lady, do are your hibs planted in bogs now? Toni
My apologies, I should have described the area better. After a rain, there is standing water for a day or so, but it does drain. Unless there is a drought, the soil is usually moist and squishy.
At the moment, my hib is in a pot. That's why I had to water every day or it would pout.

Main electrical line hit during excavation
My husband and I began construction on our swimming pool on May 1. Prior to excavation, a utility locator was dispatched to our property to locate all service lines. He came and sprayed in lines not ONCE....but TWICE. On the day of excavation, the excavator unearthed our main electrical line. The utility locator says he does not contract to locate for Center Point, therefore he does not speay in their lines. Center Point, of course, says WE own the line not them and therefore, THEY are not responsible. Our line runs straight through the middle of our yard diagonally from the northeast corner of the house to the northwest corner if the back if the yard...approximately 1000 feet in length. The survey indicates (our home will be two years old in August) that the utility easement runs along our wood fence from the back of the house, then alongside the fence across the back of the yard. The builder did not follow the easement and chose the cheapest route. Additionally, during the reroute, we discovered our main line is aluminum....which the builder also failed to disclose. Thankfully no one was injured. I grow WEARY of listening to these folks point the finger at each other and no one wants to accept responsibilty. When a main electrical line does not follow the utility easement and I understand it doesn't have to...is the builder under a duty to advise the location of the line so as to warn of a dangerous potentially life threatening situation? Must they have also notified of the aluminum wiring? Who is responsible for this? Ugh! I am SO aggravated! Thanks for your help!
Usually, the utiity company locates the service up to the meter. I assume you are talking about the service after the meter that was hit. The easements are used for the main lines servicing the entire neighbor hood that happen to go thru your property.
Alluminum is not a problem if properly installed. The connections are the area that can be troublesome if not secured correctly.
Old thread but we just had the same thing happen. We called twice for lines to be marked and we were given the "all clear" by the electrical company. Electrical line ran diagonally across back yard and line was hit but not severed. Why is responsible? Builder, 811, e;electrical company? We have a 7 foot utility easement which is where all utilities are located except the electrical.
Your pool builder let you down if he did not inform you that the electrical service line which runs from the main electrical transformer to the electric meter on your home would not be marked by the 811 locators. That line is not owned by the power company. It is considered your property and requires an independent contractor to come mark that line. Most quality pool builders would have told you that and most builders have that line marked ( at your expense as part of the contract amount) to avoid costly reroutes when possible and most importantly to avoid injury to the excavators.
You are responsible for their actions unfortunately.
Thanks, we figured it all out and we were also told by the home builder, DRHorton that it was not in the area of the pool build since it's a new home that we had built. Just another lie by DRHorton which has been the worst company I have ever dealt with in my entire life but that's a whole other story. We informed them we were putting in a pool and assured that it would not be an issue.
Same thing happened to a friend of mine and the pool builder has been in business for over 25 years, not sure how this happened but it did.
Home builders don't care unless it affects them or their pocketbook. They will always run the utilities the shortest route to save a dollar. The fact that the pool builders in both cases didn't get the service line marked is just negligent and is inexcusable. Sounds like a reroute would have been required in your case but that should have been done prior to starting construction.
Just a bad building practice. Be glad nobody got hurt, nothing blew up, and no fires got started. Hope the rest of the project goes better than the start. Good luck.

Is bottom fabric my problem
I am a newbie gardener. I made my first garden last year. I worked pretty hard on tilling in compost material. I was moderately successful. For this year I decided to follow the directions in sqr ft garden book. I was hesitant to line the bottom of my boxes with landscape fabric but I followed the book. This am i searched this site for info on plant growth stunting and found lots of talk about root growth needing to go deep.
This is what my original hesitation was about but I figured if the soil was nutrient enough then the roots wouldnt need to go deep.
I believe this is the reason for my stunted growth. The garden is watered almost every day & it receives great sun pretty much all day. There is an old french guy behind me who has an amazing garden. His plants are about 5x the size of mine. He started with larger ones but they have out performed mine by an exponential amount. He had a stroke so he is very hard to talk to. I dont think he understands what I ask when I ask for advice.
I feel the problem is the fabric. If you agree, is there anyway to work around it this season...stab holes thru it thru the dirt somehow not disrupting the root.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
They are 6" deep.
I have beans, peas, eggplant, kale, cukes, herbs, spinach, zuchini, kholrabi, tomotos & peppers.
the last 2 are in the 2x8 bed together.
The only thing that is growing is the peas. I had to buy 5" potted tomotoes, eggplants & peppers because my seedlings didnt grow at all. I restarted cukes from seed & they are doing alright.
I put fertilizer around the plants & kale & zuchini responded, althought the zuchini is making flowers & it is robably too small to grow fruit.
Gosh i didn't realize Mel recommends weed fabric. i see that now on their website but didn't see that in my copy of the book (the old edition). My assumption was always that you leave the ground open for the plants that need to stretch out.
Kale, spinach, peans and beans should do okay - but I am a little skeptical about tomatoes in only 6" (I'm bet this is a subject of hot debate!)
You could try to poke holes in the fabric but might hurt the roots. If they aren't growing though, might be worth either trying that or moving them to larger containers.
Do other folks have good experience with tomatoes in 6" with weed fabric on the bottom?

Sounds like your neighbor has been growing for many years. He may have secrets and knowledge that you don't have, beyond just using a SFG soil mix.
Sorry to hear you won't be able to get much info from him but it's OK -- you have to solve the problems for the garden you have.
My first feeling is that 6" may be a little too shallow, but it's not the same as saying that the plants shouldn't at least be growing well when they are not of mature size yet. Is that 6" of soil or 6" depth of your bed, and maybe the soil depth is a little bit less than 6"?
As I was re-reading your OP to think of questions to ask you, I would like to ask to clarify the soil mix you are using, including proportions, and any fertilizers you are using. Many gardeners say "it's the soil" that makes the most difference, so let's check there, too.
I think I would only do the weed cloth, or any other barrier, at the bottom of a raised bed if I believed the underlying soil was contaminated, as say a lawn with years of pesticide/herbicide use. In all other cases I would look for the benefits of deeper soil.
My beds are made from 2x6 board which are really only 5 1/2", i think.I have them filled to the top with mix that I made. I used 1/3 of each...compost (which was split between cow & mushroom), peatmoss & vermiculite( which was a bit less than 1/3 because it was really expensive). Since planting, I have sprinkled a handful of organic veggie fertilizer powder that I bought at lowes around each plant. It seemed to help. I Have really good sun, same as Andre. our gardens are almost back to back. I saw his wife picking radishes the other morning & asked what they did. She said 2 bags of cow manure & 1 big bag of garden soil per bed. She said they water 2x per day. I would say he's been gardening there for many years so his soil is prob very good. I water when i get home from work every day. Its usually still wet in the am. I bought a soil humidity meter & it stays away from the dry side of the meter. PH meter shows more to alkaline end.
This is my second year gardening. Last year I bought a yard of compost & mixed it into my soil. so under my beds is prob decent soil. I was hesitant to put the fabric under the beds for that reason. I dug around the edge of my tomato, pepper bed today & cut the fabric where it is attached. I was going to try to pull the fabric out. I was called it to help with the baby I wasnt able to attempt it. I dont think its going to come out.
Hmm I'm not sure what to advise. I think gardenper is right in that that depth probably shouldn't be stunting them yet given their size.
Cow manure is good stuff, as is horse manure which my mom gets for free in a different part of the country and I stay jealous when I see her raised beds!
One thought is that if you poke holes in the fabric I bet roots will find their way. On the other hand people swear 6" can be done. Can you post a picture to help us?

Love is Stronger then Pain
"Get the fuck out of the bed," Brian yelled to Taylor as he snatched the covers off her body.
"Brian, what the hell is the matter with you?" Taylor yelled back to him as she sat up, startled out of a deep sleep.
"Oh, so you think I'm stupid. I told your ass to be in the house by midnight, and John told me he saw you after eleven thirty on Bladensburg Road sitting in the driver's seat of some dude's Caddy in front of Eddie's Carryout," Brian yelled as he paced the bedroom floor.
"God, why is this happening to me?" Taylor mumbled to herself before she responded. "Brian, first of all it is three in the morning, and you are just now getting home your damn self, so don't come to me with no bullshit about me getting home after midnight. And to make matters fucking worse, you didn't even return my call when I beeped you to let you know I was home," Taylor responded to Brian, her voice rising.
Brian was upset, and he did not like Taylor to talk back to him. He walked over to the bed where she was sitting and pushed her down on her back. He then sat on top of her and started punching her in her face.
Taylor screamed as she struggled to get Brian off. She slithered her body like a snake and moved her head from side to side. She swung her arms uncontrollably trying to duck the punches that were coming from the man she loved.
"Bitch, you see what you make me do to you? I better not ever in my living life find out that you are out with some dude without my permission. Do you understand me? Huh? Huh? Do you hear me talking to you, Taylor?" Brian screamed.
"Pop!" Taylor caught Brian off-guard and punched him with her right fist in his left jaw. He jumped off of her, holding the right side of his face.
"Leave me the fuck alone," Taylor yelled.
"Bitch, you wanna fight, huh?" He grinned as he yanked Taylor by her legs and pulled her body completely off the oversized bed.
"Ouch!" Taylor's head hit the floor. Brian dragged her small body from one end to the other of the apartment. Taylor twisted and turned, trying to get free. She screamed as she felt the carpet burn her back, arms, and butt.
"Brian, I'm sorry. Please, stop, I promise that it will not happen again." Tears rolled down her cheeks but Brian did not feel Taylor's pain. He wanted her to know he had control over her life and he would stop beating her ass when he felt like it.
"Oh, so you're saying that if I don't stop punishing you you're going to keep disobeying me?" Brian asked as he pulled her up from off the floor by her ponytail. Taylor struggled to stand up straight, facing Brian face to face. She ran into the kitchen with him right behind her like a bumper on a car. She grabbed the kitchen drawer and yanked it open. Brian pulled her down to the floor by her legs. She tried to stretch her arm to reach inside the drawer, but he wrapped his muscular arms around her legs and squeezed them tighter together.
"Get off of me!" Taylor screamed as she lifted her upper body to give herself some strength. She pulled the kitchen drawer down with her right hand. Knives, spoons, and forks scattered all over the kitchen floor. Brian saw that she was reaching for one of the knives, and he scooted his body farther up on top of hers, then pulled her hands above her head with his left hand and held them down firmly against the floor.
"Don't you move, bitch," he said. Taylor spit in his face. Brian wiped his face with the back of his right hand. He grabbed one of the steak knives and then pushed the other utensils away from where he and Taylor were positioned on the floor. Taylor was crying hysterically. Brian took the knife and ran the sharp tip across her wet, swollen face, then continued to move it down the middle of her neck and to her chest. Her breathing became heavy.
"Brian, I, I love you," were the words she said, hoping to stop his torture. Brian took the knife and cut straight down the middle of the T-shirt Taylor was wearing. Her heart was pounding, and he was enjoying every bit of the power he currently had over her.
Brian put the knife up to her throat and started to roughly massage her nipples with his right hand then forcefully sucked and bit them.
Tears flowed from her eyes as he roughly grabbed at her body. He released her hands. Taylor was confused by her mixed feelings. Her mind was telling her no, but her body was telling her yes. She enjoyed the sensation coming from her wet vagina.
Brian released the knife from her throat and forced his tongue into her mouth. He kissed her hard. Taylor kissed him back, trying to hurt him. He slid the knife across the kitchen floor, out of her reach. He pulled down her boxer shorts and made his way into her vagina with his index finger.
Taylor cried for him to stop, but he ignored her pleas. He used his other hand to pull off his sweat pants and briefs. Taylor lay on the kitchen floor, crying in disbelief at what was happening to her. Brian forcefully inserted his dick into her unwelcoming vagina. She let out a heartrending moan, and her mind wandered into another world as Brian penetrated her deeply. He flipped her weakened body over to her stomach then pushed her head down so her face was on the kitchen floor, then slid the head of his dick into her ass. She screamed and sobbed uncontrollably. "Get the fuck off of me! Agh!"
Brian loved the sound of Taylor's pain. It excited him all the more as he forced his dick deeply into her ass hole. He covered her mouth with his right hand to keep her quiet. She bit his palm, and he immediately removed it from her mouth, but the displeasure drove him wild.
He pulled Taylor's long black hair and forced her head backwards toward him as he ejected his unwanted cum into her anal walls. Taylor lay in the middle of the kitchen floor, numb and helpless. Brian relaxed on top of her back as he gently stroked her hair out of her face.
"I love you, Taylor," he whispered in her ear as he eased his dick out of her butt cheeks. He picked up her fragile body and took her in the bedroom to lay her on the bed. He softly kissed her on the forehead.
"Sleep tight, baby girl." Brian left the bedroom with Taylor curled into a fetal position and wondering if her dream of living happily ever after with Brian would come true.
