This guy looks and sounds like he may terrorize the Big Ten!
It all boils down to who's game is best fit for the NFL. The top QBs in the league (Manning, Brady, Rodgers, Big Ben) are not that athletic. I would draft Winston before Marcus. If it was about nice guys making it in the NFL, Tebow would still b playing. Now, Marcus' game is much better than Tebow's, but he may have a problem standing n the pocket and anticipation throws.
Excellent addition. Solidifies the roster. Everyone will appreciate him n the playoffs when the game slows down and defense really matters.
The Buckeyes will be fine at the TE position.
Of course, I am just guessing...but I would think that whomever loses out on the other corner position (Conley or Webb), would get the nickel position.
Don't forget about Cam Burrows. He has gained some good experience back there.
Well, looks like Coach Urban Meyer has an angry football team!!
I'm sure that Walker wanted to play for TOSU and not just for Drayton. And that is no disrespect to Drayton!
The Buckeyes lose and we have an Amir thread. He had a decent game and he was definitely not the reason that we lost!
What are the announcement times for Hill and Prince?
Winning a national championship is extremely difficult, hence nothing is a sure thing! Go Bucks!
The answer is "No"! They still have one of the best coaches n the country.
The momentum continues!! Greatness attracts greatness!!
Winning is magnetic!!!
Shumphert is an excellent addition. He can guard the 1,2 and 3 positions. He's also competitive and athletic!
We need to stop nitpicking every little thing about our Buckeyes. Braxton has served and represented TOSU very well. He continues to support this team in a very professional fashion.
If we stay focused, the Dream will be realized!
Marshawn Lynch's vid is classic!! I get it!!
Oh well!! Maybe Bosa's performance against Bama will finally open their eyes!
I have no concerns! I am going to enjoy a Buckeyes victory!!
The Buckeyes calmed down in the 2nd half and gave us a good picture of how they will be. I'm excited about the season!

Is a counter depth fridge a must??
We have a 24" cabinet and are between two refrigerators both kitchen aid. Do you think a counter depth is necessary? Our current fridge is a side by side that is 32" (34 1/2" w/handles) deep & it about 25 cu ft.
It is so hard to stomach the extra $800 for a smaller counter depth fridge. And I am not sure is a 22 cu ft fridge would be big enough for a family of 4?
Thanks so much!!!
Refrigerator (Standard Depth - 25 cu ft) KBFS25EWMS
Refrigerator (Counter Depth - 22 cu ft) KFCS22EVMS
EDD: Recessing is not an option due to the fact it is next to a doorway and it would be a lot of work to recess it at this time. Attached a pic :)

If the fridge isn't going to be sticking out into a door way go with the standard. I soooo want the new color by GE called slate. Had the thing delivered, it was a French door one and it was huge! It stuck out so far into the room and was next to the laundry room door way it looked awful. So back it went, along with the dishwasher, and stove because they don't make slate in a counter depth. The verdict is still out on the fridge, it's in our winter house in fl and we've only used it for two weeks before heading back here to CT. It looks great but the ice maker is so small and I think it's going to take some getting use too.
Are you redoing the kitchen or just replacing the fridge? If you were putting in new cabinets, maybe you could make that cabinet/surround by the fridge deeper to work with the sd fridge. Otherwise, I wouldn't worry about it. The kitchen police won't come and arrest you if the fridge sticks out (!), and I know what it's like to be on a budget. Besides, don't forget you would wind up with a smaller fridge if you went cd - don't know if that would be important to you.
Thanks, awesome points! No not redoing the kitchen at this time, we are hoping to move in the next 5 years. LOL, love the "kitchen police". And I am on a super tight budget but do not want to make a mistake. And I have a 25 cu ft frige now so I am not thrilled about losing any space.
If you're used to a 25 fridge, and can't carve out space behind it to move it back, I don't think I'd be happy with a smaller one. Love the "fridge police" comment. Lol. I love my new CD, but only because it's wider and same volume inside. If you regularly have a full fridge, you might not be happy.
I would try cleaning out your fridge and using less space for a while. Maybe block out some of it along the back with empty boxes or something so you can't use it for the regular stuff. See how it works for you.
I much prefer the smaller size and ease of freezer bottom. Everything is visible and it's easier to maintain items and keep clean. I hated my old one and it stuck out like a sore thumb. This thing I love.
Can you put this one in the garage for overflow?
There was a long thread on cd recently.
Changing all appliances to stainless. My microwave died and all the white appliances are 12 years old (except the dishwasher). My garage is detached and packed with my DH tools etc. But we have a large freezer in the basement. I would have to scarfice the sq ft if the fridge would be out too far, it would bug me. Thank you all for your replies!
BTW. when I bought our last fridge about 5 years ago, I had no idea there was such a thing as cd refrigerators. So I got an ordinary top freezer fridge. Not even a french door (oh, the horror!). It stuck out a bit, but the extra exposed sides gave me more room to park more magnets. When we sold the house earlier this year, it sold quickly. No mention of the "horrible" *standard depth* fridge. So for us, not having a cd fridge wasn't a detriment to the selling of the house (maybe we lived in an unsophisticated neighborhood? dunno).
I like your current kitchen. Normally I don't like white, especially for appliances, but there it seems to work.
I live in NJ (between Bridgewater & Flemington - for anyone who knows NJ) in a small 1600 sq ft ranch surrounded by mc mansions. We bought our house before all the development back in 2001. And they are planning on adding a train stop that will go into NYC 10 min from our house. So whatever we put into this house we will get back out when we sell. Plus my DH is a contractor so no labor costs on improvements. But you know what they say about the shoe makers kids :)
I am hoping a standard depth fridge works (more cu ft & less $) but just want to make sure I do not make a bad decision and have an eyesore. All of you are so helpful...Your help is so appreciated!!
How many more inches will it need to stick out from your current fridge? Seems to me the easiest way to tell if it will bother you is to pull your current fridge out the 2 or 3 inches the new fridge will be, and see how it is.
To me, the biggest concerns would be: creating a blockade between the fridge location and the island (is it too hard to open the doors and work there,) and will it make you feel more closed in at your range - bumping elbows, and what not.
controlfreakecs - excellent suggestion. We have it pulled out a few inches right now & it seems ok with the flow & island it is across from it. We are calling kitchen aid tomorrow to get exact measurements to be sure since they are only est on the website.
After all your help I am thinking standard depth is the way to go. Thank you all for helping me think this thru.
We couldn't recess ours, so we built a new cabinet around it similar to yours. It may not look quite as noticeable in stainless. Ours has gray sides, but some have black. It may not look quite as nice as a CD would, but it looks better than the big gray monolith did with no cabinet around it.
Hi Zoey: I know exactly where you are, I used to work at J&J on 202. My best friend lives in Branchburg.
That being said, we went from a standard KA 30 year old freezer on top fridge to a CD Kitchenaid french door. We find it has plenty of room. We are a family of 4 as well. We didn't get one with an ice maker or water dispenser on the door...that takes up much needed space inside the fridge. We do have the ice maker inside the freezer drawer though.
Hope that helps. We love the KA fridge. Its so easy to organize, and I like everything at eyelevel. Let me know if you have any questions.
A counterdepth French door model will have MORE shelf space and better storage than a standard depth side by side. It's that darn division down the middle that makes side by sides so inefficient. You can have the best of both worlds to move to the counter depth French door. Yes, it's more money. But, it's an actual functional improvement that you're receiving for your money.
fivefootzero: Are u in NJ? I am off 206 before Princeton ;) I know exactly where you used to work pass it on the way to Wegmans. And I am 5ft 0in too,lol...
If you don't mind....Do you know what model CD fridge you have or how many cu ft yours is? And how deep are your panels on wither size of the fridge? My panels are only 24 in so I think a CD will still stick out :(
Thanks so much the pic is very helpful & your kitchen is very pretty.

I have the KA FD CD and love that it doesn't stick out. It made my whole kitchen seem larger and it's so much easier to pass by the island now. I don't find the space any less at all. I had a side by side larger one before and I never wanted to use the lower space because if it wasn't in front of me I would forget about it. Especially inside of the drawers at the bottom. I really love my new fridge. It did take some time to get used to how to arrange it to best advantage. The freezer on the bottom takes some getting used to as well. I would never go back to a full depth. No more losing things in the far regions in the rear of the fridge. Every family is different though This works well for us. If you need lots of freezer space, you are going to need another option for that.
I am one of those that needed the CD fridge because my aisles are so narrow . It is not KA, but is built (I think) by the same parent company. You have a better situation. In my case, a SD would make the aisle too narrow and the fridge protrusion would have been very noticeable. With yours, I think it looks fine.
My cabinets are only 24" but my GC not only recessed the plugs but also brought the water line in at a special angle so it would sit flush.
One thing not mentioned is most SS fridges come with grey (non matching) sides. Some have SS side panels available as an upgrade. However, you should be aware of this going in.
I was convinced by my contractor to get a counter depth french door fridge and I am glad I did. I have the KA model with the ice and water inside the door. It has such a nice clean look. The bottom freezer is a little small for me, so I keep the old refrigerator in the garage. I am happy with the CD KA. Good luck!
I don't think choosing cd has anything to do with show or sophistication. It does look better, and opens the room up (sometimes important). It also functions so much better for a lot of people. Hating your refrigerator is not fun.
I do think your kitchen would look better with a shallower refrigerator. The point about a FD being more functional and efficient than a side by side is a good one.
But budget rules, of course! lol If you can't really afford it and this one works for you, then it works.
Heres an idea ... Without remodeling, you could remove the sheetrock behind the fridge area to gain almost an inch. You can also turn the 2x4 studs sideways behind the fridge to gain another 2 inches.
The problem I have with counter depth is some of them do not fit certain things such as large pizza boxes, cartons of soda, etc. Check and see if your typical things will fit in the fridge. Although, if you are used to a SxS, likely it should all fit.
Unfortunately, We can not recess the fridge at this time due to electrical and the doorway next to it. But that would solve the issue.
So still stuck on this decision. Do I want to have it sticking out (it will not interfere with the island) and have a larger fridge that costs less $ OR a smaller fridge that will look better & cost more $.
I need to make a decision.....
Get the full depth fridge. You're worried about space for a family of four. I would be too. I have a CD and it's fine for the two of us. However, a head of leaf lettuce takes up almost an entire drawer. The door bins don't hold a lot either, so consider that if you use large containers of condiments or stock a half dozen salad dressings.
Secondly, you're not remodeling, so you know what the FD looks like in your kitchen, and it looks appropriate for the age of your kitchen. A CD will not vastly improve the look when your cabinets and other appliances are getting old.
Thirdly, you're moving in 5 years. By then, the kitchen will be approaching 20 years and ready for a tear-out, and the new owners can do what they want with the fridge.

4 of us stayed here for 3 nights, primarily based on the TA reviews. This is a good area of Paris to stay in, there are not a great amount of tourists, it's quiet, with lots of restaurants. The Place de la Nation is several blocks away with many Metro lines. The staff at the hotel were extremely friendly and helpful. Certainly would stay again. As mentioned by others, the rooms are small, but clean and modern.
The river cruise with dinner, arranged by the hotel, was a great way to see Paris from another perspective. Get there early ( 1/2 hour before the noted time), get seated at the best table, and enjoy the dinner longer. Take Metro Line 1 to Concorde.

State Reaches Medicaid Agreement
By Alabama Public Radio
Montgomery, AL – The state has reached an agreement with Medicaid. Governor Bob Riley confirmed it Friday. He says the deal will end a 15-year-old federal challenge concerning how the Alabama Medicaid office funds benefits. Federal officials had complained for years that the state takes more than its fair share for charity care. The federal government said the state owes more than one billion dollars in back payments. The state has denied that claim. Specific details of the agreement were not immediately released

This place is as great as it looks! My sister, partner and I had an amazing time! We loved hanging out in the hammocks and watching monkeys and birds. The location is perfect - definitely would be difficult without a car though. The beach is a close walk away but any town (cabuya, montezuma, Santa Teresa) required some driving. Lots of people rented ATVs which would also work. We went end of the dry season so it was HOT and difficult to sleep in past 8am. Which was fine because we had plenty to do. Thank god for the two fans though. Thomas was delightful and very helpful in finding the place. He picked my sister up from a cafe in montezuma and was willing to help us find it while driving. I would come back again!
Guest 1) This place is absolutely perfect. Not far from Montezuma and many, many activity's (snorkelling, horseback riding, amazing hiking, beach's, very good restaurants, fishing, etc.). In the heart of the jungle you'll be amazed by the sounds that surround's you and the birds who wake's you up in the morning. Very nice hosts too. Just ideal!
Guest 2) The location is ideal, close to the beach and Montezuma, but far enough from it and the road to be quiet and to leave you surrounded by the beauty of the jungle. The widely open bedrooms allow you to slep under the stars, to hear the birds and see the monkeys passing by in the trees. Very safe, very well designed, it is a real wonderful place to be. You'll never want to leave...
Great house, wildlife abundance, privacy, spacious, sleep u der the stars! Hosts are very responsive & accommodating!
The Jungle Artist House was amazing! Cozy, comfortable and beautiful. Plus, it was just a short, easy walk to a lovely beach where you can watch the surfers. Joachim and Stine of course were the absolute best hosts during our one night stay at the Jungle Artist House. We would recommend this place to anyone!
Casa Jule var som at bo i et kunstværk af Gaudi. Musaikker i loft og vægge, blå gulve og en soveplads med kig til stjernerne. Vi blev vist rigtig godt tilrette af caretaker-parret Leanne og hendes mand, der meget hjælpsomme. Der er gåafstand til standen, og udsigt til junglen fra 1. og 2. sal i huset, hvor sovepladserne er fordelt.
A fantastic location, only a short walk to the beach and a few minutes drive to Costa Rica's first national park, Cabo Blanco. We loved watching the stars from the outdoor bedroom. And the property is great for watching wildlife.
Das Haus ist ein kleines architektonisches Juwel an der Pazifikküste!
Natur pur! Tiere hautnah! Man hat das Gefühl in einem Nationalpark zu wohnen. Das Hausambiente passt super dazu. Schlafen unter freiem Himmel!!!
Wir hatten alles, was man braucht. Ron, der Verwalter, hat uns zum Haus begleitet, alles gezeigt und eklärt und uns Tipps gegeben. Er stand immer telefonisch zur Verfügung.
Vielen Dank! Wir kommen wieder!
Casa de Jule = pura vida!

New Fargo floodwall to 'embrace the river'
FARGO — Rolling prairies flush with flowers, textured limestone walls and maybe even a fishing pier — this is the possible future of flood control in downtown Fargo.

Puppy Needs a Home
Our Point Pet of the Week is Luke, and he is one precious puppy!
Our Point Pet of the Week is Luke, and he is one precious puppy!
This morning, the U.S. Coast Guard got some great photos and video of a whale a half mile off Barnegat Inlet.
Danielle DiGiovanni has spent the last three weeks desperately searching for her 'baby,' a nearly two-year old puppy named Jeter, and now she's asking for your help.
This wonderful, sweet cat was first abandoned, then had to be given up again when her owner got sick.
The wonderful people at Jenkinson's always have a great surprises for us during our live broadcasts, and yesterday, it was Scarlett who came to visit.
These Chihuahuas never even stepped in grass until now because they were raised in cages. Meet our Point Pets of the Week, and they couldn't be cuter!
A large sea turtle got caught up in fishing gear off the coast of New Jersey, but luckily the Coast Guard showed up to help!
She was rescued by the Monmouth County SPCA, and now our Point Pet of the Week is looking for her Forever Home.
We do our morning show live broadcasts at Jenkinson's just feet from the entrance to Jenkinson's Aquarium, and that means we are just feet from some of the cutest creatures on the planet.
This week's Point Pet of the Week segment is a reminder that kitten season is here and that means its "Feline Frenzy" at the Monmouth County SPCA.
What's better than a video of a cute baby? A video of a cute puppy snuggling up to that cute baby!
This cat's nickname is Mr. Smiley!

Re: Arriving to Puerto Rico from USVI read this!!!
"This is because Puerto Rico does not recognize
The USVI as part of the United States."
Ah, Puerto Rico is a WAR PRIZE and the US government calls it an "insular possession" of the United States. What
does or does not recognize has no standing in federal law or federal court, and last time I checked, both ICE and USCG were required to follow federal rules and federal standards, not the standards of some half-assed war prize which has no vote in how the country is run, and has chosen to remain a half-asses war price instead of voting for statehood. Which they've declined multiple times. Supposedly because the big corporations and the upper class both enjoy the tax freedoms they gain by not becoming a state. Which still makes
a war prize and nothing more.
The USVI has the same status as
, they are both "insular possessions" and as such they are classed by Federal law as outside the Customs' boundaries of the US. So regardless of which ones you travel between, it is Federal law, not local law, that determines how you will have to clear in and out.
Under Federal law, if you travel from the USVI to
, you might as well be traveling to Guam, because you've left the US in between your ports of call.

All hail a new Gap, a freshly minted disproportionality.
Let me be the first to be crazy enough to speculate that fast feeders market to black kids because black kids and black non-kids love the fast feeders and think their offerings to be the ne plus ultra of culinary excellence. That said, I have it on good authority that all the fast feeder chains, to the extent that any of their food is "good," ship the good food to their white locations and send the crap food to black ones, because they and everyone else knows that Africanus Bellcurvius will eat anything that comes out of the clown's head, because they're lovin' it.
But if this really is a problem, there is an easy solution:
McDonalds should get rid of 365Black.

Stade back hit with six-month ban
ESPN Staff
July 10, 2012
Djibril Camara will be free to play in December © PA Photos
Stade Francais back Djibril Camara has been hit with a six-month ban by French anti-doping officials (AFLD).
Camara missed three mandatory drug tests and was notified of this at the beginning of April. Camara will be allowed to play again in December but it could have been worse for the Stade back as his original ban was for 12 months but the panel opted to suspend half of it.
Camara will now miss a large section of the new season with Stade opening their new campaign against Montpellier on the weekend of August 17-18.
French winger Yoann Huget was suspended for a similar offence last season but was hit with a four month ban which meant he missed the 2011 World Cup.

When it comes to unpaid child support in a divorce wages can be garnished without a court judgment. If a parent fails to make their child support payments, the state has the right to garnish that person's wages through their employer, or through other means.
If your spouse owes unpaid child support, you have a number of ways to collect the money from them set by the California Department of Child Support Services. The various types of earnings that can be garnished for unpaid child support payments are:
• Wages in the form of salary, tips, bonuses, retirement and vacation pay, commissions and regular overtime
• Dividends, rents, royalties, patent rights, payments due for services of independent contractors
• Payments from workers compensation, temporary disability benefits
• Regardless of source, any other payments or credits due or becoming due
In a California divorce, if the garnished wages do not cover the entire amount owed, the custodial parent may seek other ways of obtaining garnishment by property seizure. This includes houses, boats, cars, motorcycles, corporate stock, and more. The custodial parent must keep in mind that the levels of garnishment are 50% if supporting another family, 60% if not, and 65% if the spouse child support payment is 12 weeks past due.
If you have specific questions about wage garnishment and/or divorce contact Thorsteinson Law Group, your trusted and experienced divorce and family law attorney.

Remove useless Css - Js files from some conditionals and theme pages.
Works perfect on wp 3.9.2! I've been looking for this for a long time!
Otherwise most of them work!
Although WP gives me a glaring message saying this plugin has not been tested with the latest version of WP, I took the leap of faith anyways!
That's right, I installed it =0..
I am slowly learning the ins and outs of using WP and while doing so I am scared to do certain things.. Like dig into my parent theme and start messing around with Jquery. Of course, I want to learn how to add that type of stuff and remove it without breaking my site, but I am definitely not there yet.
After hours of searching about how to handle disabling a parallax scroll on my page, I came across this little do-hicky of a plugin. I must say it did EXACTLY what I wanted it to do, and I didn't have to get my hands dirty.
Thank you kind sir, you are a wizard in disguise!

Combating the Heat
So, we're about to have 4-5 days of 100+. Most of my garden beds are all right but one of them has straight afternoon sun & backs up to a shed so it only gets hotter. With our last 100 degree temps the tomato plants in this bed got fried blossoms. They're just now getting new blossoms ready to open & I don't want to lose them again. I can see a real pattern emerging. I would like some tomatoes from these plants but am afraid I won't get any unless I can combat the heat a little. I'm planning on misting the plants before the sun's real strong on them and then shading them and giving them extra water. Any other suggestions? Thanks!
At those temps the pollen isn't viable anyway so all your work won't help much. 100+ degree temps are something many of us have to deal with much of the summer. :)
Check out the Blossom Drop FAQ here for more details on why tomato plants just will not set fruit during periods of especially hot weather/humidity. If you could shade the plants you might gain 10 degrees cooler but even that wouldn't be enough.
Plus all that misting only encourages fungal disease to develop. Focus instead on keeping the plants alive and healthy so that they can then set fruit once the weather breaks.
Here is a link that might be useful: Blossom Drop FAQ
Thanks for the info. When I lost my blossoms during the last heat wave it's not that the blossoms opened & then dropped. There were blossoms that were getting ready to open & the yellowish parts turned brown & the blossoms dropped w/out ever opening. Now I have new blossoms forming & don't want them to fry again during the heat. Hopefully the +-10 degrees from shading will protect the baby blossoms! Thanks for the suggestions!
it's not that the blossoms opened & then dropped. There were blossoms that were getting ready to open & the yellowish parts turned brown & the blossoms dropped w/out ever opening.
That is still 'blossom drop'. :) Much of the time the blossom never opens because the heat and humidity make the pollen tacky/sticky, the bloom turns brown and falls off.
Honest, this may be unusual weather for you but it is standard everyday summer weather for many of us and blooming, pollination, and fruit set all depends on the air temps and the humidity.
I'll disagree to a point about the misting. Since the
lady (I assume a person with a handle of 'gardenmommy' is
a lady) lives in Sacramento, the dry heat will lessen
the possibility of fungal disease. Other parts of the
country (those with high humidity) must keep the amount
of water on the leaves to a minimum. But us here in CA can
feel free to get the leaves wet. The low humidity will
suck the water off the leaves fast enough so that fungus
infections are avoided.
I know this is heresy to many, but I've been misting
and getting the leaves wet for many years with few fungus
problems. I was alterted to this by Steve Goto at one
of his tomato tastings.
It (getting tomato leaves wet) is one of those things to
be avoided in most areas. Here though, with the proper
conditions, you can get away with it.
Well. I was thinking that blossoms dropping prior to opening might be different from after opening. Guess not. I just hate to lose all the current about-to-open blossoms. And, no, the 100's aren't unusual weather here - all too common which is why I'm worried about not getting any tomatoes out of those plants. Probably isn't the best location for that garden bed. I'm not worried about the other beds.
Thanks qaguy. Someone else here in Sac who grows 100+ tomato plants does light misting on 100 degree days. Think I'll give it a try on a couple plants.
You're welcome gardenmommy. I'm in SoCal but we share
some of the same problems.
You are mulching heavily, aren't you? That's a must for me.
But you may as well resign yourself to a time where your
plants won't set fruit due to the heat. Happens to me
every year.
Some folks pull their plants and start over when the current
batch gets picked and get a fall crop. Or you can do what
I do and just let them grow with no new fruit until later
in the year.
I have a GW buddy in Sacramento who does a blog. I'll add
it as a link.

Ray- I HAVE tomato Russet Mite which I diagnosed after reading your posts on the subject. I dont have a 14X magnifyer glass but once I saw the similarity and googled it, I could see that is it. Couldnt find any Take Down, BTW, everyone is out. I am using sulfer powder, and ofcourse water. Would like to apply more sulfer, or spray with spinosad, or, some oil base, which I have, but with this recent heat wave, I am afraid I will kill the few leaves that remain! I am getting fruit although I have had to cover the cages with burlap during this heat since the bacterial spec first and now mites have taken all the leaves! Always something! lol! Your posts are very helpful to me, thanks for taking the time to upload pix. Linda
See my Thread ""The EarthTainer "Farm" - July 3"" for new pics.
When you mention "bacterial spec", is this what you are seeing?
On some of my plants, this is affecting some of the lower leaves. Not sure how to treat it. Used Exel LG and Actinovate spray a few days ago - - but no change.
Ray, Most of the spots on my tom leaves have gone away (or been cut away!) either from the recent heat or copper soap / Serenade sprays. Seems to me they were smaller and darker, but ya know, after this spring, they all look the same!!! I think i decided it was bacterial speck because Daconil did not help. I also have something else going on with my black cherry. Another thread somewhere said it seemed to be prone to something, started with a b. I have decided trying to diagnose spots on tomato leaves makes one crazy! LInda

I have sheets up, which I suspended using t-posts. I made the posts taller with PVC zip-tied to the posts so that I have 6 1/2 foot shade structures. The sheets are white and let in some sun, plus sun from the sides. A little white trash but only for a couple of months in the privacy of my backyard.
I mulched with 8-12 inches of pine straw and have soaker hoses underneath. I water every other day for 15 minutes.
I had blossoms until it got to 115, but not much fruit set after 105. I think it had more to do with high night temps even than day temps.
We have some days next week in the high nineties so I'm considering doing some kind of bloom booster, although I normally only fertilize with organic stuff.

Of the man they call the Master Gee
Well, my name is known all over the world
By all the foxy ladies and the pretty girls
I'm goin' down in History
As the baddest rapper that could ever be
Now I'm feelin' the highs and ya feelin' the lows
The beat starts gettin' into your toes
Ya start poppin' ya fingers and stompin' your feet

And the damn ya start doin' the freak
I said damn, right outta your seat
Then ya throw your hands high in the air
Ya rockin' to the rhythm, shake your derriere
Ya rockin' to the beat without a care
With the sureshot M.C.S for the affair
Now, I'm not as tall as the rest of the gang
But I rap to the beat just the same
I dot a little face and a pair of brown eyes
All I'm here to do ladies is hypnotize
Singin' on n n on n on n on
The beat don't stop until the break of dawn
Singin' on n n on n on on n on

You could rock till you're a hundred and one years old
I don't mean to brag I don't mean to boast
But we like hot butter on our breakfast toast
Rock it up baby Bubbah
Baby Bubbah to the boogie da bang bang da boogie
To the beat beat, it's so unique

I said I can't wait til the end of the week
When I'm rappin' to the rhythm of a groovy beat
And attempt to raise your body heat
Just blow your mind so that you can't speak
And do a thing but a rock and shuffle your feet
And let it change up to a dance called the freak
And when ya finally do come in to your rhythmic beat
Rest a little while so ya don't get weak
I know a man named hank
he has more rhymes than a serious bank
so come on hank sing that song
to the rhythm of the boogie da bang bang da bong
well, I'm Imp, The Dimp the ladies pimp
The women fight for my delight
but I'm the grandmaster with the three M.C.S
That shock the house for the young ladies
And when you come inside, into the front
You do the freak, spank, and do the bump
And when the sucker M.C.S try to prove a point
We're treacherous trio, we're the serious joint
A from sun to sun and from day to day
I sit down and write a brand new rhyme
Because they say that miracles never cease
I've created a devastating masterpiece
I'm gonna rock the mike til you cant resist
Everybody, I say it goes like this
Well I was comin' home late one dark afternoon
A reporter stopped me for a interview
She said she's heard stories and she's heard fables
That I'm vicious on the mike and the turntables
This young reporter i did adore
So I rocked a vicious rhyme like I never did before
She said damn fly guy I'm in love with you
The Casanova legend must have been true
I said by the way baby what's your name
Said I go by the name of Lois Lane
And you could be my boyfiend you surely can
Just let me quit my boyfriend called superman
I said he's a fairy I do suppose
Flyin' through the air in pantyhose
He may be very sexy or even cute
But he looks like a sucker in a blue and red suit
I said you need a man who's got finesse
And his whole name across his chest
He may be able to fly all through the night
But can he rock a party til the early light
He can't satisfy you with his little worm
But I can bust you out with my super sperm
I go do it, I go do it, I o do it, do it , do it
A I'M here an I'm there I'm big bang hank
I'm everywhere
Just throw your hands up in the air
And party hardy like you just don't care
Let's do it don't stop yall a tick a tock yall you don't stop
Go hotel motel what you gonna do today(say what)
I'm gonna get a fly girl gonna get some spank drive off in a def OJ
Everybody go hotel Motel Holiday Inn
You say if your girl starts actin' up then you take her friend
I say skip, dive, what can i say
I cant fit em all inside my O.J.
So I just take half and bust them out
I give the rest to master gee so he could shock the house
It was twelve o'clock one friday night
I was rockin to the beat and feelin' all right
Everybody was dancin' on the floor
Doin' all the things they never did before
And then this fly fly girl with a sexy lean
She came into the bar, she came into the scene
As she traveled deeper inside the room
All the fellas checked out her white sasoons
She came up to the table, looked into my eyes
Then she turned around and shook her behind
So i said to myself, it's time for me to release
My vicious rhyme I call my masterpiece
And now people in the house this is just for you
A little rap to make you boogaloo
Now the group ya hear is called phase two
And let me tell ya somethin we're a helluva crew
Once a week we're on the street
Just a-cuttin' the jams and making it free
For you to party ya got to have the movies
So we'll get right down and give you the groove
For you to dance you gotta get hype

Even the plumber was impressed. He admired it without any prompting from me and said it was a beautiful faucet and very well-made. The weight of it feels good in your hand, and I am very pleased with this product. The spray is also well-made and solid. The faucet is also tall enough for any of my pots. There were no problems with installation. The faucet also swivels left or right so that it reaches to each of my double sinks. There was nothing available like it at the local home improvement stores.
We were looking for an antique-style faucet for our kitchen remodel that wouldn't break the bank and found it on Overstock! We have received a lot of compliments on the faucet from friends and family. My installer even mentioned how well made it is and no more than I know about these things I have to agree that the faucet and sprayer are very heavy and do not feel cheap at all! I'm also very satisfied with the shipping from Overstock as we received our faucet within the week after ordering!
Heavy faucet, installation by my plumber was perfect. (I would have installed it myself, however I had a sink replacement and drain relocated and it was all a little more than I could handle. The sprayer is heavy and the faucet is solid. It looks waaaay more expensive than the price. I would and have recommended to others. Overstock's shipping and quality are exceptional.
This was the perfect look that I wanted and the single hole faucet was my only option for my sink (also bought at the O). It is very heavy and very solid. My plumber was impressed with the quality and weight and surprised at the price. I couldn't find anything close at the large home improvement stores. When I received my faucet, the first attempt to install found a slight problem. The sprayer hose didn't fit through the attachment. I requested a return from Overstock, which as usual, came very quckly, but I decided to call the 800 number on the box. The woman that answered at Kingston Brass was extremely kind, helpful and shipped the correct replacement parts out the same day. I was ecstatic that I could keep the unit. It is now installed and working beautifully.
They leak horribly and overstock does not back up product. Diverter broke after 3 years.
This faucet is from Kingston Brass....high quality construction at a very affordable price. No plastic sprayer like so many have, this is solid metal. Basically modeled after very high-end faucets you see for 3 times the price! The contractor was impressed.
I have had the faucet for just a year and the sprayer has stopped working. After taking the entire unit back off of the sink I dismantled it as far as possible, tried to flush out any obstructions with water and air but didn't work. I will buy a faucet from a reputable company that gives a lifetitme warantee (many do)
Could not get over the quality. This is not a lightweight faucet and even the sprayer substantial! If there is one small draw back (but still giving it 5 stars) it's the trigger on the sprayer. It's plastic. I'm not sure why the manufacturer decided to go that route when even flange that holds the sprayer is metal. Still love this faucet though.
This faucet is beautiful but we purchased ours in April 2010 for a remodel that did not take place until July and when we installed it the arm extending over the sink was slightly angled (bent) off center(looks like a factory defect - not damage). Anyway because of the time lapse we could not get a refund/replacement. I am pleased with the look, but if you want to purchase this I suggest that you take it out of the box and either install it immediately or do a mock install to make sure there are no issues.

Funding to improve accessibility for school garden
Greetings! I'm researching funding sources for an accessibility project our school is undertaking. We were blessed with the donation of a wheelchair accessible bed by Aeolian, a wonderful firm in PA, and now want to make sure the area around the bed is wheelchair friendly.
I've found some matting that's made from recycled tires, and it's not inexpensive. I estimate that between the matting and the cement underlayer for the tiles, our cost will be about $2,500.
Does anyone know of a foundation which supports accessibility projects?
I'd also love to hear of any other ideas for making the
walkway wheelchair friendly.
Doesn't your school system provide the funds to make its programs accessible?
Is it necessary to put both the concrete pad and the rubber surface? It seems like the concrete is sufficient. Depending on how the old tire surface is textured, it could even impede wheelchair movement. Hope you can consult with someone who knows.
I work for a non-profit and part of my job is fundraising, including grant writing. Your best bet is always to start locally. Local Lowe's or Home Depot stores may be able to help with donated supplies. Service organizations such as the Lions, ELKs, VFW, etc. are a good source for donations in the $500 to $1000 range. Check with your local Community Foundation, they may be able to fund the whole project. Good luck, Carolyn

Advice needed on which Bona waterborne finish for kitchen remodel
Our kitchen remodel is about four to six weeks off and I'm seeking advice on our kitchen hardwood floors.
The entire house of white oak was re-finished years ago: sanded down, stain applied, Bona Pacific Strong Waterborne Poly Finish layers applied. Regrettably the floors did not withstand normal family traffic well at all (long story).
With the current kitchen remodel, Bruce oak hardwood (left from previous owners) will be placed in any gaps left from appliance and cabinet removal. It's in great shape and tongue and groove. A professional floor refinisher will be performing all the work on the kitchen floors.
My floor question in general is: after screening of the Bona Pacific Strong finish, should Bona Traffic be used? I've been told waterborne poly finish once means waterborne poly forever, unless thousands of square hardwood floor footage is totally redone again which is not going to happen.
I just want to re-do the kitchen floors and do them correctly so the finish lasts a much longer time. I believe that means a Bona Finish similar to the waterborne poly Pacific Strong used the first time. We need consistency from to adjacent rooms. Just the finish is being re-placed as the stain is fine: warm and nice. Is Bona Traffic the same sheen as Bona Pacific Strong? I take it we have the least sheen ever seen on any Bona-finished floors, or the finish just got totally absorbed into the hard wood. This time I know a sealer will be put down before the new Bona product, but which Bona waterborne poly finish to choose this time?
Thank you for your advice. Yes, our new floor refinisher will weigh in mightily here. I also will call Bona tech support soon also to ask which Bona product they advise under these circumstances and I'm hoping one of their regional representatives will come out and give a consultation.
You really do need a professional consultation and guidance. Whether sealer is done or not hinges on what you intend on doing this time around. Whatever you do...do not use Pacific Strong or any other inferior choice.
Traffic now is available in three gloss levels...gloss, semigloss and commercial satin (matte). Traffic HD also is available in a "commercial extra matte" gloss level. Your refinisher ought to be able to guide you in choosing a gloss level that will blend with the rest of your flooring.
I was hoping you might comment glennsfc :). You lend a valued hand on GW flooring.
Yes, I never knew Bona Pacific Strong was inferior sadly.
I will ask two high volume pro-floor companies to come and look and recommend this time. I guess I'll have to stay with Bona finish since it's every where and I'm thinking Traffic (which should have been used the first time).
This time we're going to have to do it room to room or two to three at a time, not the entire house emptied as first time. This means the Bona finish must be mass produced and QA be the same each time no matter which sheen level.
I'm going to call Bona Products. They know I've struggled with the finish result of their Pacific Strong.
I doubt that glennsfc. That's why Pacific Strong was pulled by Bona and replaced by Bona Waterborne Traffic. Shame on me for not doing my own research into Bona finishes at the contract time, as Traffic was available. Might have been inadequate drying times that contributed to the mess of a job.
Do your own research hard wood floor lovers!
Bona did not replace Pacific Strong with Traffic, if my memory is correct. Pacific Strong was non-yellowing while Traffic is not. I think they were both in the product line at the same time. Saying that is like saying GM replaced the Corvette with the Fiero.
If anything, the replacement for Pacific Strong in the US is Novia. Between the Novia and Traffic is Bona Mega. You can add Mega booster (aziridine) to Mega and get near Traffic performance for less money. Pacific Strong was much less costly than Traffic, and maintained properly, could provide a suitable floor finish.
If you're looking for better durability at a lower price, you can apply oil-modified polyurethane over your water-borne finish as long as it's cured completely.
Personally I think Traffic is overpriced but if you need a durable finish that dries fast and has low odor it's one of the best water based finishes you can use.
Hi, I haven't used Street Shoe but I know some contractors around here have used it on restaurant floors and been happy with it.
If you're looking for gloss you must be prepared to recoat it more often regardless of what finish you choose. I would still opt for semi-gloss oil-modified polyurethane if it was feasible. I have it right in my store entry and while it does show scratches and indentations, it has worn very well.
Update: JFCWood, if you see this, my husband wishes a full polyurethane floor finish, as he's tired of the waterborne products and hassle. You said: "I would still opt for semi-gloss oil-modified polyurethane if it was feasible."
-Would you give me two well known manufacture choices of an oil-modified polyurethane finish?
-May we still screen the current Bona poly waterborne finish and then apply a semi-gloss oil-modified polyurethane finish? My husband prefers such for durability, and we would gradually re-work our way through the rooms starting with the kitchen remodel.
Thank you for any advice on this.

To Gluten Or Not To Gluten And Why Should I Care?
Confused by Gluten? Feeling like Paleo is the way to go? Or are you just not sure who to believe? You're not alone. Here's why I changed my attitude towards food and why you should care!
Minnesota Company Recalls Ground Beef
The U.S. Department of Agriculture says Ranchers Legacy Meat Co. of Vadnais Heights is recalling 1,200 pounds of ground beef because of possible E. coli contamination.
Minnesota Tops Nation In Elk Farming
Minnesota is tops in the nation when it comes to elk farming, but the Minnesota Elk Breeders Association says there's room for growth. The USDA Census of Agriculture shows that Minnesota leads the U.S. in farmed elk production and is home to 141 elk farms raising more than 4,200 elk.
USDA Details New Risk-Based Farm Payment Programs
Farmers can start as early as next week on signing up for new safety net programs that U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said replaces the much-criticized direct payments with government payouts based on the risks farmers face.
Wayzata High School Opts Out Of Federal Lunch Program
Any parent will tell you that trying to get kids to eat healthier is tricky business, particularly for teenagers.
US To Spend $328M On Conservation Easements
The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced $328 million in funding Monday to protect and restore farmlands, grasslands and wetlands across the country.
USDA Orders Farms To Report Pig Virus Infections
Farms stricken with a deadly pig virus must report outbreaks as part of a new program to help monitor and possibly control the spread of the disease, the federal government announced Friday. Porcine epidemic diarrhea has killed millions of pigs in 27 states since showing up in the U.S. last May, with Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota and North Carolina being hit hardest. The disease has been blamed for recent increases in bacon and pork prices. Farmers have struggled to control the virus, because little is known about how it spreads and there is not yet a federally approved vaccine.
Good Question: Why Are We Drinking Less Milk?
When it comes to milk, Americans are drinking much less than we used to. According to USDA statistics, we drank 0.96 cups of milk a day in 1970. By 2010, that dropped to 0.61 cups.
Crop Values Decline On Lower Corn, Soybean Prices
The value of U.S. crops fell 9.8 percent last year as prices declined for major crops, including corn and soybeans, from 2012's record high levels, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said in its annual estimate.
Soybeans Rapidly Mature In Minnesota
Soybean maturity has rapidly advanced in Minnesota in the last week, but soybean maturity still lags behind the normal pace.
Good Question: Why Is Child Care So Expensive?
We love them to death, but any parent knows, it's expensive to raise a child. New numbers from the USDA estimate the cost to raise a boy or girl born in 2012 is $241,080 – up 2.6 percent from two years ago.
Minn. School's Adjust To USDA Lunch Guidelines
Minnesota schools are adjusting after the USDA issued new guidelines on the amount of fat and calories contained in snacks made available in lunchrooms.
Good Question: What Can You Buy With Food Stamps?
In an average month, 514,900 Minnesotans receive SNAP benefits, formerly known as food stamps. The average monthly payment is $117.26 per person. In a visit to Bergan's SuperValu, WCCO loaded seven items into a grocery cart – cookies, candy, ice cream, dishwashing detergent, hot macaroni and cheese, dog food and steak – to test shoppers on their knowledge of what's eligible.
USDA: Highest Corn Acreage Since 1936 Expected
Farmers intend to plant 97.3 million acres of corn this year, the most since 1936, the USDA's spring planting survey said Thursday. The survey said the 2013 corn planting forecast is up slightly from last year's 97.2 million acres.
USDA Declares Drought Disaster For Parts Of Minn.
Most Minnesota farmers escaped the worst of the drought, but those who didn't are eligible for federal loans to help cover crop and livestock losses.
Opinion: Obama Is Trying To Buy The Hispanic And Female Vote With Another Government Giveaway
Conveniently-timed for Obama's reelection, the Hispanic and Women Farmers and Ranchers Claims Resolution program began September 24, 2012 – just a month-and-a-half before the election. Apparently the Obama administration did not care about this alleged injustice to females and Hispanics any time in the past three-and-a-half years. It just happened to be thought about and addressed now – just before voters pull the lever.
Opinion: Stop, Michelle Obama! The Children Are Hungry
In recent decades, the government has taken to feeding needy children to combat the negativity of trying to learn while being hungry. Now, with new Obama administration regulations on school lunches, we have a government that is causing hunger.
Agriculture Dept. Wins Grant For Food Safety
The Minnesota Department of Agriculture is getting federal help to more quickly trace contaminated food to grocery stores and other distribution points.
Healthy Changes Coming To School Lunches
This year, students will see some big changes come lunch time. "This is the first in a long time that there's some real changes in the USDA regulation and it's across the nation," said Bertrand Weber, director of culinary and nutrition services for Minneapolis Public Schools.
USDA Increases Planted Corn Estimate To 96M Acres
The U.S. Department of Agriculture says farmers planted 96.4 million acres of corn this spring, up 5 percent from last year.
Minn. Farmers Make Big Advance Planting Soybeans
Warm weather is helping Minnesota farmers make rapid progress planting soybeans.
Minn. Corn, Soybean Planting Way Ahead Of Average
Minnesota farmers continue to make progress on planting corn and soybeans, thanks to warm, dry weather.
Good Question: How Important Are Expiration Dates?
The ground beef says "use or freeze by," the cookies say "best by," and the cheese says "sell by." Expiration dates are on almost every product we buy at the grocery store.
USDA Closing Minneapolis Office
The U.S. Department of Agriculture is shutting down 259 offices, labs and facilities across the country.
Survey Helps Shed Light On Emerald Ash Borer
Triangular, purple kite-like contraptions placed in trees across the country are helping state and federal agriculture officials learn more about a deadly beetle that has killed tens of millions of ash trees in the United States and Canada and threatens countless more.

3 charged in gun brought to Atlanta school campus
Atlanta police say charges have been filed against three students accused of handling a gun that led to a school lockdown
Associated Press
ATLANTA — Atlanta police say charges have been filed against three students accused of handling a gun that led to a school lockdown.
Police say no injuries were reported and no shots were fired at Frederick Douglass High School in northwest Atlanta Wednesday. Police say the weapon was recovered on school grounds.
Officer John Chafee says the teens are charged with possession of a firearm on school property, possession of a firearm by a minor and disrupting public schools. The teens have been taken to the Fulton County Youth Detention Center and their identities haven't been released.
Atlanta Public Schools spokesman James Malone has said students, faculty and staff were safe while the campus was locked down and searched. Malone said parents were notified of the situation by email and automated calls.
