Suggestions for a high tunnel crop?
I have about 500 sq ft of high tunnel space which I'd like to seed to a cool-season crop that will be ready to harvest on or before June 15th. We have quite long days here.
So far I've planted radishes, swiss chard, beets, spinach, claytonia, kale, salad turnips, short-season carrots and dill. I'm trying to think of something different for the remaining space. I have onion sets but I'm not sure if 60 days would be enough to get decent baby onions.
I guess I might go for the onions after all. Do you have much success selling immature regular onions as green onions? It's the first time I'm trying it.
I'd like to avoid frost-sensitive veggies because it's still very cold at night.
I thought of tatsoi and the other brassicas but they bolt by mid-May here.
Cilantro - gotta try that too. Thanks.

Tyra Banks
Tyra Banks grew up in Inglewood, California, a city in Los Angeles County. After beginning to dabble in modeling as a junior in high school, she decided to abandon college plans in favor of a full-time modeling career. After her first week on the runway in Paris, Tyra was booked for a record twenty-five shows—unprecedented for any newcomer to the modeling scene. Work came quickly, including print and runway campaigns for numerous big-name designers and companies. She also nabbed covers for a range of high-fashion and entertainment magazines, breaking barriers in the process: she was the first African American woman to grace the covers of GQ, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, and the Victoria's Secret catalog. In 1997 she was honored with VH1's Supermodel of the Year award, and in 2005 she retired from modeling to focus on her television career. Today she is the host of both America's Next Top Model and The Tyra Banks Show. Outside of modeling and TV, she has appeared in several movies and at one point even pursued a music career, though that flopped after the release of her first single ("Shake Ya Body") in 2004. Tyra will join the Gossip Girl gang in the fourth episode of Season 3 as larger-than-life actress Ursula Nyquist. The role shouldn't be a stretch.

The 'top-secret execution' of Ajmal Kasab, convicted for perpetrating the 26/11 attacks in Mumbai four years ago, diminishes us all Indians.
India snuffs out Kasab's life
The vast majority of world opinion abhors meting out death penalty for any crime. This majority includes countries such as Russia, Israel UK and Germany that have been victims of terrorism. But India stands with stony hearts like the United States, China, Pakistan and Iran.
India's plea is that it is its sovereign right to determine its own legal system and death sentence is carried out India only on the "rarest of occasions" and that too with great deliberation. But India parries the big moral issue, which is that execution by the state (or the community) is nothing but a barbaric practice dating back tp primeval times when the thumb rule used to be "eye-for-an-eye".
For India, it is a particularly agonizing question because Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism, three of the finest flowers of its ancient civilization, all equally forbid such killings. Indians need to reflect. I wonder if Gandhi would have condoned Kasab's execution.
To turn to its downstream impact, there is going to be repercussions for India-Pakistan ties. The 'dialogue process' may be deemed as moribund, which has implications for regional security. The dialogue was worth having, if only to keep India-Pakistan tensions under check.
With no Mamohan-Singh visit to Pakistan on the anvil, with no Siachen or Sir Creek agreement on the horizon and with the feel-good CBMs petering out, where are we heading at a crucial time when the ground beneath the feet will rapidly shift between now and end-2014?
Both countries are in a state of drift and weak governments often have a need to flex muscles. But Pakistan will, hopefully, assess the meaning of the 'fast-forwarding' of Kasab's execution. Actually, it absolves Pakistan of any further need to go through with the motions of the investigation. Ironically, the 'file' is closed, no matter what India might say.
Kasab's execution needs to be seen primarily from the perspective of India's internal processes. Many Indians are apparently 'celebrating'. It may seem a morbid thing to do, which indeed it is, when a human life is snuffed out — any human life, howsoever evil it might have been — but it has a meaning of its own in the present Indian context.
Indeed, the two main political parties — Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party — are instinctively vying with each other to express satisfaction with the execution. What is the basis of their bizarre posturing? Usually, these hardened folks express satisfaction when they anticipate some political windfall.
The dismal truth is that both Congress and BJP are courting the 'Hindutva' constituency. The BJP has a natural claim to right wing 'middle class' Hindu opinion. But Congress seems to have one eye on Narendra Modi's likely arrival in Delhi as the BJP's great helmsman.
A 'soft Hindutva' image is just what Congress needs in order to neutralize Modi's seamless, radiating energy. The party calculates that Muslim voters alienated by Modi are in any case its pocket borough (since the Indian Muslim has no place else to go to other than the 'secular-minded' Congress), while the 'soft Hindutva' posturing might additionally enable Congress to poach into the BJP's natural constituency. Welcome to Indian democracy.

I pay tax every day,month, year and for past 28 years since my birth. Some time When I see bill saying Rs 500 in which Rs 100 is tax, I feel its OK, it is for my poorer brothers and sisters. But when I read news reports of Bomb proof Kasab cell, I feel that was my hard earned money which was spent. This guy, Kasab not just killed 100 people(directly or indirectly)in 26/11, but have touched every true Indians life. Sir Bhandarkar, I believe u too are in some way touched by Kasab. I truely agree with you, that a Life is life howsoever bad the person is. You know even Kansha and Ravan had life then why were they killed. I believe they should be alive, but god themselve had some other plan for them. I bet You hate that Hitler, Osama, Gaddaffi and likes are killed. I dont know where you live but jst try and stay for a day in Assam (Kokrajhar), Chattisgarh and Gaya remote villages, you will come to know how much you will wish for the end of some lives.
Even GandhiJi had said, Dont be violent, but dont let anyone to hurt you as well. Already Pak Taliban has thretened that they have planned 26/11 like attack in next 1 month and that they are in Hyderbad Deccan also. Instead of mourning Kasab's death, save our brothers and sisters by providing them some suggestions, on how to be alert.
Guest says
Sadly most news reports even the prestigious TOI carried reports that he was sick with dengue. How a sick person suddenly get executed. He should praise the mosquitoes that bit him for it save the tax payers so much money. He living in bomb proof cell, over 46 crores to protect and care for him. It is not shameless expenditure for a person they are wanting to kill themselves. But the government failure to protect him from mosquitos, The Param Vir Mosquitoes should get the highest honors that to saving tax payers for this expensive inmate. What is more embarrassing a government having Kaseb die of medical illness due to substandard jail infrastructure the international embarrassment, or killing a already dead person claiming a secret hanging.
ram mohan says
While everyone is welcome to have his own view on the subject but the law of land has to take its own course. The only thing questionable in the matter is the timing of it thus inviting conjectures of possible political motives.
As to whether we have invited another instalment of terror is the issue that needs thinking.
Guest says
Both countries are in a state of drift and weak governments often have a need to flex muscles.
With no Mamohan-Singh visit to Pakistan on the anvil,
Sense your sentiment in this article, deeply respect it and share your profound sensibilities on the matters pertaining to Indo-Pak diplomacy and its implication to regional security. If one goes by the reactions to your blog, the terror master minds have indeed succeeded in inflicting the divide they were seeking to inflict. But the development over the situation is not over yet, and it can be still undone. For this Bhartiyata and the Idea of India got to prevail first.
The first setback to Bhartiyata came after Lahore yatra. When Mr. Vajpayee with aspiration to revive the perspectives of freedom movement leaders like Mahatma, Rajaji, Patel, Azad, Nehru and other secular leaders towards Pakistan undertook Lahore yatra, the Pakistani response was Kargil.
Thereafter efforts for ascendancy to Bhartiyata met with cynicism from BJP sympathizers. Congress even came up with a Mungerilal kay Sapnay formulation which struck a chord. The ties with Pakistan was consigned to back burners; and the master minds of divide won another battle.
But amidst these setbacks a crucial positive development took place. The Sino-Pak-US collapsed with then President Clinton virtually dismantling the old Kissinger doctrine. Thereafter terror onslaught on both nations increased, but the capabilities of both conventional and strategic forces being far stronger on the defending side, institutional mechanisms evolved rapidly to contain and constrict the terror deployment. Indian state has indeed become relatively far stronger than Pakistan and the terror forces.
Yet, paradoxically, concur that despite strong state institutional capabilities, government appears weak and drifting in India, and the Hindutva agenda of BJP and soft saffron of INC is a manifestation of these trends. The enlightened political agenda for regional security is hijacked by pandering to commonplace popular reactions. This indeed is a reactionary political agenda. But there is real ground for optimism in this regard.
Pakistan has not yet accepted defeat and not yet ceased its low intensity warfare. A bilateral visit by Indian Prime Minister makes sense only to firmly signal such cessation.
Middle class is certainly a thinking class. The same set of people, who were subject to cathartic initial reactions, given the secure and strategically superior framework provided by present Indian context, thanks to momentous post-Lahore yatra developments, are likely to be more rational in their afterthoughts. Post catharsis reactions, expect middle class responses to reverberate to the vibes of Bhartiyata which Lahore yatra aspired to instill, and also to the idea of India moorings of original Indian National Congress.
santhosh jose says
Dear Sir,
I agree with you that hanging kasab was not more 'heroic' than killing a louse on the nail.
But saying it was avoidable can not be agreed upon.
Hope you remember the hijacking of Indian Airlines Flight 814 for the release of dreaded terrorists like Mushtaq Ahmed Zargar, Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh and Maulana Masood Azhar. We all remember our pathetic then foreign minister who escorted the estranged
passengers back home. If we had prolonged the hanging ,who knows pak taliban might have tried to do the same to get kasab released. So in order to stop happening such a fiasco again the hanging was inevitable.
Rupakshi says
Wasted too much tax payer money on this murderer. Should have been shot immediately and be done with.
Zahid Iftikhar says
Ajmal Kasab was a terrorist. He got what he deserved. In such an obvious case of mass murder, the death penalty is 100% justified. By the same token though, the Indian terrorist Sarabjeet Singh should also be hanged.
Peace from Lahore…
pranab sadangi says
Ridiculous article. Not worth to comment. However he has the freedom of expression.
Shailesh Saxena says
Mr Bhadrakumar,
Your ideas are only Contempt of Court
Sautiya says
I agree with this Blogger… We Indians are diminished by killing Kasab. Why on earth we should have done that.. what had kasab done to us anyways? did he Kill anyone? He didnt even kill the person who gave him water to drink.. How on earth such a noble soul can be hanged. I respect Kasab and Also this Author.. Both deserve noble price for Peace
NIT DIESEL says
I am sorry to state that as with the major political parties, the author is also seeing the whole scenario from the political angle.We always have a soft image and have forgotten how to take a tough stand even when we are slapped several times by weak opponents. The author should remember history where Prithviraj defeated Gauri several times and left him unharmed everytime.But Gauri showed him no mercy and that was the onset of muslim rule over India.
We should be clinically tough but need not be cruel.
Preeti Mishra says
What a shit blog. Can the blogger please clarify the following
1) Who gave him rights to speak about the whole Indians? As I understand most Indians like me are happy when Kasab got hanged.
2) How do you calculate majority when India and China are on the side of continuing capital punishment?
3)Where did you get idea about capital punishment is a act of Hindu right wing and not Islamic? Telling right wing Hindu is uncalled for.
4) Why does the author wants to bring division on the basis of religion? For his information there are other parties than Congress who gets Muslim votes. For example Mulayam in UP, Mamata in WB, MIM in AP and so on. Why do you think Congress is not caring for Muslims?
Ajay C says
This article is bizarre at best! Started off about one thing and concluding something totally different. Lacks sense.
BHASKAR KALYANARAMAN says
Only mad dog like Bhadra Kumar can write an debased article like this. I wish his wife or son got killed in the terrorist attack to feel the pain. Such creeps are arm chair pseudo secularists preaching from the comfort of their AC room. Utter shame on you.
iadmires says
Completely disagree with the author. I would like to remind the history of india to this author that prithiviraj chauhan condoned gori for 17times instead of killing after his defeat. This led to india being captured my Mughal forces for more than 400 years. It is time for us to learn from history. Secondly, the eye for eye concepts comes into picture only when we send terrorist to pakistan. However, we did not do that but execute our legal process (Although it is delayed).
Raghavendra Ravi says
Misplaced sympathy.
Rajiv Mahajan says
People like Bhadrakumar are the emasculated section of Indian Society which has been born of influences of Budha
Dhruba Jyoti Sarma says
Who is this guy – Bhadrakumar ? Why is he baiting Indians ?
Dwarkesh Shah says
Are you serious??? if you are then i must say you are crazy
mahyaar bhot says
this is succha sic piece of article.. user seems to be one of those human rights activist… he may have realised the importance of hanging of kasab if his own family member had been killed in the terrorist attacks.
swapnil patil says
It is extremely sad that Mr Bhadrakumar takes such a harsh stand on the death penalty to Kasab (and Capital punishment as a whole in India) considering the following.
1. The record of hangings in India does suggest it is rarest of rare (they didnt even have a hangman on roles for kasab) and there is the long list of commutation of sentences
2. For all the nations, who arent "stony hearted" as per Mr Bhadrakumar, Do they face such incidents as 26/11 frequently?.
3. And why the invocation of religion? if you hang someone by law – religion is involved. but terror has no religion even if radical religious leaders are driving people to terror in name of religion
4. And as far as Gandhi being invoked – frankly my dear no one gives a damn anymore – notwithstanding the respect One need not blindly follow everything said by any leader.
5. And lastly, as far as the hanging being kept secret is concerned, isnt it better to have done it quietly than to have made a spectacle out of a hanging. Infact it would have been better to have kept quiet for a longer period of time.

Our Song Predictions For The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show
What do Maroon 5, Nicki Minaj, Jay-Z, and Kanye West all have in common—other than Illuminati membership? They're all going to be showered with glittery confetti tonight!
That's right y'all, it's the night we've all been waiting for. The most decadent, luxurious, angelic, sparkly, sequin covered event of the year: The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, of course! While a lot of people are obviously stoked for the lingerie laden angels (duh), we at MetroLyrics are way more excited for the performers. Not only does the decadence of the sound of their music (Watch The Throne, anyone?) match the glam of the fashion show, but we think the lyrics are pretty apropos, too. So, tapping into our inner psychic, here's what songs we predict Maroon 5, Nicki Minaj, and the Throne Occupiers will be serenading the angels with tonight:
(Work it harder, make it better) / N-n-now that that don't kill me / (Do it faster, makes us stronger) / Can only make me stronger
These angels have been putting themselves through strenuous workouts for the big night and it's finally paying off! Also, some of these angels gave birth JUST this year and it's probably impossible to tell. 'Ye has to perform this to honor all the time the angels spent pumpin' iron.
He got that super bass / Boom, badoom, boom / Boom, badoom, boom bass / Yeah that's that super bass
We can totally picture all the VS models struttin' their stuff in time to all the boom badooms in this one. We think Nicki's tongue-twisting skillz might outshine them, though...
Girl you really got me bad / You really got me bad / And now I'm gonna get you back / Now I'm gonna get you back
Yeah alright, we're pretty sure Maroon 5 are gonna play "Moves Like Jagger" BUT Adam Levine's girlfriend (model, Anne Vyatlitsyna) is walking in the VS show AND she's the love interest in this music video! This song is totally about her and it would be the sweetest thing if he sang it for her during her ~*big moment*~.
That's My B*tch - Jay-Z and Kanye West
How can somethin' so gangsta be so pretty in pictures? / With jeans and a blazer and some Louboutin slippers / Uh, Picasso was alive he woulda made her / That's right n*gga Mona Lisa can't fade her
Okay, we know these lyrics from money-dripping mogul Jay-Z's verse are about his better half Queen Bey, but they're pretty fitting for the VS angels. All the tough work they've been through in preparation for the show (cue "Stronger") has crafted their bods into works of art that would blow even Picasso's mind. Oh yeah, don't be surprised if you see a couple pairs of Louboutins stomping the runway, either.
What songs do you think these guys are going to perform? Tune in tonight on CBS at 10/9c to see if your predictions are right.

What Do You Use For Authentic Creative Expression?
Authentic creative expression reinforces the power of life and how special we all can be.
Authentic creative expression reinforces the power of life and how special we all can be.
Rivalry inscribed from birth, To grave Sweet kisses Turning into salty tears.
I learned to create many spontaneous images in Window's 'Paint,' starting out with squares, slashes, circles and squiggles
We do not always see eye-to-eye when we are too close for comfort
Madonna and Baby Jesus…the supreme subject… Some call her Mary; others call her
I was born under a bridge, just feet from the Mississippi, the ghosts of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn
Angels are our behind-the-scenes team. They help us be who we were meant to be
Bereavement is not easy for us who selfishly want our loved ones close to us for our comfort
When twilight chases day,
Heavens twinkled with the delight
Of a thousand artists' eyes
"Without justice, what are kingdoms but great bands of robbers?"

which tree should I get? Meyer Lemon or Washington Navel Orange?
Hey all!
So I purchased an Oroblanco Dwarf Grapefruit tree from 4 Winds a few months back, and my great-grandmother has been ohhing and ahhing at it everytime she comes to visit (and she's a big gardner, loves growing flowers and plants and is very good at it). Well her 95th birthday is coming up in a few weeks and I've decided to give the tree to her :), I think she'll be very happy, and I'll make up a direction sheet on how to care for citrus. But now I have a dilemma, what kind of tree should I get for myself in the spring when it warms back up again?? :) I can't decide between a Meyer Lemon and a Washington Navel Orange (I would get the tree from 4 Winds). I kind of want both LOL XD but not sure it that would be a good idea.
Anyone willing to give me their opinion? anyone willing to post pictures of their meyer lemon and/or washington navel orange would be great! :D
Thanks! :)
I am not just a fan of the Meyer Lemon; I am President of the company.... LOL. As an amateur chef also, I don't think I could survive without a Meyer lemon tree. At the moment I have 16,000; so I have enough for most of my friends.
As for the Washington Navel; I have a few, along with a dozen or more varieties of citrus. I find the Washington more susceptible to diseases and critters than some; I recently planted 4 Cara Cara oranges; IMHO they are notably better than the Washington. Were I you, I would get both the Meyer and the Cara Cara.
Oh wow! Congrats on being the president of such a wonderful company! LOL I'm envious, 16000 meyer lemon trees! WOW! :O! I'm assuming they're in your backyard, right? haha just kidding. I didn't know about the potential vulnerability that the navel orange tree has to some diseases and bugs. I actually plan on having the tree in a pot, since I'm from Michigan and could never plant it outside. Would you still recommend the Cara Cara over the Washington Navel even though it would be in a pot? the 4 winds site says WN and Trovita are best as indoor potted growing plants (which they would be in the winter, outside in the summer), but would Cara Cara do just as well? I know the Meyer would be ok in a pot.
Thanks for the tips!
Well, kind of depends on what you want - juice or eating out of hand. The Meyer is an outstanding lemon. I'm a big fan like John. I use the Meyer for cooking, all my lemonade, and for my Limoncello. But, I couldn't be without a Valencia orange, as that makes the best orange juice. I love my Cara Cara as I think it's the best eating out of hand navel orange. Navel oranges will produce juice, but navel oranges contain a much higher chemical that causes the juice to become bitter if refrigerated, so traditionally navel oranges, like the Cara Cara, are for eating out of hand, whereas the Valencia is for both eating out of hand and juicing. So, decide what your grandmother would prefer, and that's your choice :-) Then, just get the other one for yourself, and you can swap fruits!

Kris Jenner: Khloé's Going Through a 'Very Cleansing' Time
Originally posted 12/19/2013 08:30AM
It's no secret that Khloé Kardashian has had one of the toughest years of her life.
After months of ups and downs with estranged husband Lamar Odom, 34, the reality star, 29, filed for divorce on Dec. 13, and is finally ready to move forward with her life.
"What Khloé is going through is definitely challenging, I'm not going to lie," her mom, Kris Jenner, told PEOPLE at her #cirocthenewyear pledge party at L.A.'s Mixology 101 on Tuesday.
Khloé Kardashian Tweets About Split: 'This Is Torture to My Soul'

It's been less than a week since Khloé Kardashian filed for divorce from Lamar Odom, and the reality star is making clear that she's in pain over the breakup of her four-year marriage.
She posted a heartfelt message on Twitter on Wednesday that appeared to address the speculation she'd quickly rebounded into the arms of baseball star Matt Kemp.
"This, in and of itself, is heartbreaking and torture to my soul," Kardashian, 29, wrote. "Please, I don't need the extra rumors and BS right now."
Khloé Kardashian Is Not Dating Matt Kemp
Originally posted 12/16/2013 11:55AM
The ink has barely dried on Khloé Kardashian and Lamar Odom's divorce papers, but rumors are already swirling that a new romance is brewing for the reality star.
Just hours before Kardashian, 29, filed for divorce Friday morning, citing irreconcilable differences and requesting to drop Odom from her name, she was spotted hitting a private gym in Beverly Hills with L.A. Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp.
"They are just friends and have been for a long time," a source tells PEOPLE of the relationship buzz, spurred by the baseball star's Instagram post of Kris Jenner's Christmas tree on Thursday. "Khloé is absolutely heartbroken right now [over Lamar] and dating someone is the last thing she's thinking about."

Lamar Odom reached a plea agreement in his DUI case, receiving three years of probation and agreeing to attend a three-month alcohol-education program.
An attorney for Khloé Kardashian's troubled husband appeared in Superior Court in Van Nuys, Calif., on Monday to enter a no-contest plea on Odom's behalf, according to the Los Angeles City Attorney's Ofice.
Odom, 34, who wasn't required to be in court, also will pay $1,800 in fines and penalties.
Lamar Odom to Return to the Clippers Court: Source

In a sign that things may be turning around for Lamar Odom, the troubled NBA star had a two-hour meeting with Los Angeles Clippers management after training with the team on Friday, PEOPLE has confirmed with multiple sources.
The power forward, who was a free agent earlier this year, did not have his contract renewed by the Clippers after a disappointing season. He has also been battling substance abuse issues and marital problems with his wife, Khloé Kardashian.
"He has been talking to them for weeks," a source close to the Kardashian family tells PEOPLE. "He's close to signing. They were definitely apprehensive but Lamar has shown huge improvement over the last few weeks and everyone around him believes he's sober."

Anything can happen when it comes to the Kardashians.
But that sentiment rings especially true for Khloé Kardashian Odom and estranged husband Lamar Odom, who have been battling to save their marriage since news of his drug addiction broke this past summer.
Despite multiple sources indicating earlier this month that a split might be unavoidable, a source confirms to PEOPLE that the pair, who have remained in contact throughout the ordeal, "have been going to therapy together."
Khloé Kardashian Odom Addresses Rocky Marriage on Keeping Up with the Kardashians
Originally posted 11/11/2013 01:30PM
It hasn't been an easy past several months for Khloé Kardashian Odom – and the reality star opened up about her rocky marriage to Lamar Odom on the season finale of Keeping Up with the Kardashians on Sunday.
"As many times as I have protected Lamar or dodged a bullet for him, lately everything is getting more than what I can protect or control," Khloé, 29, said during a confessional after her husband's agent called looking for him. "I'm getting bombarded with questions, and I don't know what to say."
Reports first surfaced in August that the former Los Angeles Lakers star, 34, was using "hardcore recreational drugs" for two years and even spent time in rehab.

Khloé Kardashian Odom and Lamar Odom may have recently attended a Kanye West concert together amid their marital woes, but that doesn't mean the two have patched things up.
Despite reports to the contrary, "there are no talks about reconciliation," a source close to the situation tells PEOPLE.
"Khloé is very frustrated when it comes to Lamar. The fact that he doesn't seem to care to shape up makes Khloé act like she is over him."

35 year old woman | Los Angeles, CA, USA | Seeking men 30-38 within 10 miles
New to LA, let's party!
Hi all!! Where to start? I'm originally from North Carolina before moving to San Diego 9 years ago. I moved to LA about 4 months ago, so I'm still pretty new. It's quite a change from SD but I'm having a great time here. Me: pretty smart, a bit funny, and very sarcastic. When it comes to dating, I'm picky and some would say flighty. I don't mean to be, I just enjoy a challenge like everyone else, and I'm in no hurry to squeeze into that white dress. So call me on my BS (I will call you on yours) and don't let me get away with everything. I'm very much a tshirt and jeans type of girl, not into clubs or anything like that. A dive bar with a draft beer is where you'd most likely find me on a night off from work. I've lived oceanfront for the last 13 years of my life and the sea holds my heart. You: funny, caring, nice to animals and strangers, smart, adventurous, and aren't awkward in social situations. You're confident and know what you want. You like your job and love your family. You have a desire to explore this amazing planet. What I'm looking for: not a big fan of pressure, especially when meeting people online, so I'm basically looking for people to do fun stuff with. Fun stuff = exploring new restaurants, cooking cool new stuff - by the way, I am in no way an awesome cook but I think it's fun to cook things together and laugh at ourselves, hike, wine tasting, watch football, brunches, happy hours, sporting events, six flags, beach days, etc.. My life is an open book and I'm not easily offended so ask me whatever you want! See ya soon! Amy

On Thursday night, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady took to the stage of his alma mater, Serra High School, San Mateo, CA, to talk to a crowd of 800 alumni and students. The five time Super Bowl player spoke about being a "wide-eyed senior" and told those present to follow their dreams and take advantage of every opportunity.
Brady told the crowd that he was grateful for the support of his family and friends. He said he was glad to be back in the place where his career began 17-years ago.
He said, "I've received so much support from this community…It means so much to be able to call Serra home."
En route to the 2012 Super Bowl game, Brady said he reflected on his past and how he came to this point in his career.
He also thanked his numerous coaches and teachers at the school, including his coach and mentor Tom Martinez, who passed away on Tuesday.
Brady said "He taught me how to throw a football when I was 12-years-old…His spirit is here with us all the time," Patch.com reports.
High School taught him to be a team player, Brady admitted.
He also admitted that he was not chosen as a quarterback in his freshman year. "I played second string," he said "But I was grateful to play."
The Patriot's player recalled that during his first game on the field his coach shouted at him "Brady, you look like you're running in slow motion!"
Thankfully his game eventually improved.
He said "I've learned to embrace every hardship…Lord knows, I make plenty of mistakes."
Brady was back at his high school as the keynote speaker at the fundraiser. The event raised $850,000.

Citing various sources, TSN is reporting NHL teams have voted 23-6 (with one abstention) in favor of introducing a ranking system that places a greater emphasis on playoff performance than regular season results.
Under the existing format, non-playoff teams were placed one through 14 with the lowest regular-season point totals getting the higher pick in the draft, subject to the draft lottery which allows the winning non-playoff team to move up as many as four places.
The remaining 16 teams were seeded 15 through 30 based on inverse order of regular-season finish with one exception - the Stanley Cup-winning team automatically received the 30th and final pick of the first round.
The new format will work as follows:

Westfield, N.J., assignors to Bell Telephone Laboratories, Incorporated, Murray Hill and Berkeley Heights,
N.J., a corporation of New York Filed Nov. 23, 1966, Ser. No. 596,565
Int. Cl. H03c 1/02 US. Cl. 332-4 4 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An optical modulator comprises a thermoreflectance material (e.g., vanadium dioxide) positioned in the path of an incident optical beam to be modulated. The reflectivity of the material, which undergoes a metal-semiconductor phase transition at a particular transition temperature, abruptly changes at that temperature. The devlce is thermally biased to the transition temperature, and its reflectivity is thermally modulated in accordance with an information signal.
This invention relates to optical modulators utilizing variable reflectivity materials.
The advent of the laser has resulted in extensive effort directed toward the development of an optical communication system. In such a system a laser beam serves as a carrier which is optically modulated in accordance with information to be transmitted. Eflicient optical modulation techniques are important to the successful operation of such communications systems, and should preferably provide a high index of modulation, require small amounts of modulating energy and absorb little optical energy.
In one priorly known optical modulator employing variable reflectivity materials, namely, ferroelectric semiconducting crystals, a rectifying surface barrier is established in the crystal face where the optical beam to be modulated is made incident. The incident Optical beam is chosen to have photon energies larger than the forbidden energy gap characteristic of the crystal. By varying the electric field in the space charge layer associated with such surface barrier, it has been found that the reflectivity of the crystal also changes. This effect has been termed electrorefiectance. For modulation, a voltage is established across the surface barrier, and this voltage is varied in accordance with modulating information thereby to vary accordingly the amplitude of the reflected optical beam. An optical modulator of this type is disclosed in the copending application of P. J. Boddy and A. F. Frova, Ser. No. 536,033 filed on Mar. 21, 1966 and assigned to applicants assignee.
It has been found that in crystals characterized by a metal-semiconductor phase transition the reflectivity of the crystal is temperature sensitive. That is, there is some transition temperature below which the crystal is a semiconductor and above which it is metallic. At this transition temperature the reflectivityof the crystal increases abruptly. This effect will be hereinafter termed thermoreflectance. It is also feasible, however, that the metalsemiconductor phase transition may be induced by ap plying pressure to the crystal.
While prior attempts have been made to utliize reflectivity changes for the modulation of optical waves, such attempts have not involved the use of thermoreflectance crystals as the reflecting medium. But for the optical modulator of Boddy et al., the maximum edgree of modulation which has been achieved wtih practical operating characteristics typically has been less than one percent. By way of contrast the present invention provides modulation of about thirty percent with practical Operating conditions. At certain incident wavelengths, for instance, near 10,44, modulation of about one hundred percent is attainable.
In one embodiment of the invention a thermoreflectance crystal of vanadium dioxide is positioned in the path of an incident optical beam to be modulated. The temperature of the crystal is raised to an operating temperature near its transition temperature (68 C.) by the application thereto of heat. The crystal may be directly heated by establishing across the crystal a bias voltage which produces a heating current in the crystal. Modulating information is impressed on the bias voltage. As a consequence the temperature, and the reflectivity, of the crystal varies in accordance with the modulating information thereby amplitude modulating the reflected optical beam.
The invention has distinct advantages of simplicity, being a two-terminal device and small in size. Furthermore, the invention is readily fabricated in thin film form whereas in the device of Boddy et al., for example, it is difficult to do so because of the complex structure of the ferroelectric semiconducting crystals used. In addition the optical modulator is a broadband device, exhibiting significant increases in reflectivity for incident beam wavelengths from one to at least ninety microns.
The above and other objects of the invention, together with its various features and advantages, can be easily understood from the following more detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompany drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a graph of reflectivity versus temperature of a thermoreflectance crystal;
FIG. 2 is a graph of reflectivity of a thermoreflectance crystal versus wavelength of incident optical beam;
FIG. 3 shows schematically one embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 4 shows a multiple reflection arrangement of an invention for increasing the index of modulation;
FIG. 5 is a perspective drawing of one embodiment of the invention; and
FIG. 6 is a perspective drawing of a second embodiment of the invention.
Turning now to FIG. 1, there is shown a graph of reflectivity versus temperature of a thermoreflectance crystal, preferably vanadium dioxide, for an incident optical beam at a fixed wavelength. Thereon is indicated a transitlon temperature T, (68 C. for vanadium dioxide) at which the reflectivity of the crystal increases abruptly. Below T where the reflectivity is about 20 percent, the crystal is a semiconductor having a monoclinic structure. Above T where the reflectivity is nearly ninety percent, the crystal is a metal having a rutile structure. Although not shown in FIG. 1, the reflectivity curve exhibits a slight hysteresis in the vicinity of the transition temperature.
It has been found that the reflectivity of thermoreflectance crystals is also a function of the wavelength of the incident optical beam, as shown in FIG. 2 for vanadlum dioxide. Below the transition temperature, as indicated by curve I for a crystal temperature of 26 C., the reflectivity varies in the manner shown for wavelengths from one to ninety microns. Above the transition temperature, as indicated by curve II for a crystal temperature of 88 C., the reflectivity increases rapidly at about one micron and then levels off, approaching nearly ninety percent at ninety microns.
Other thermoreflectance crystals have similar characteristics; namely, vanadium monoxide and vanadium sesquioxide which have transition temperatures of 148 C. and C., respectively. Such crystals would accordingly require refrigeration for use in the manner described.
As shown in FIG. 3, for amplitude modulation an optical beam to be modulated is made incident upon a thermoreflectance crystal 12 which is heated to an operating temperature near its transition temperature T, by heat source 14 through heat link 16. Modulating information of source 18 is made to vary the temperature of the crystal in the interval AT, as shown in FIG. 1. A corresponding change in reflectivity AR result in amplitude modulation of the reflected optical beam 10'. The modulation index is defined as the ratio of the change in reflectivity to the reflectivity at the operating temperature, or AR/R.
For larger amounts of modulation with a given temperature swing AT, it is feasible to subject the optical beam to multiple reflections. For example, if the beam is subjected to three reflections, for a reflectivity of 0.8 there still remains fifty-one percent of the original beam intensity, which in most instances should be more than adequate. Such multiple reflection can be easily effected as shown schematically in FIG. 4 by positioning mirror 20 opposite the reflecting face of the crystal 12.
An optical modulator in accordance With the invention is shown in FIG. 5 and comprises a heat sink 101 separated from a vanadium dioxide crystal 102 by an insulator 104. An insulator 108 separates a resistive heater 106 from the crystal 102. The insulators 104 and 108, being of low thermal conductance, establish a temperature gradient which causes heat to flow from heater 106 to heat sink 101. Both the insulator 108 and the heater 106 are window-shaped to allow the optical beam 100 to be made incident on the crystal 102. A battery 110 and a modulating source 112 are connected in series with ohmic contacts 114 and 116 on heater 106.
The battery 110 causes a heating current to flow in resistive heater 106 sufiicient to maintain the temperature of the vanadium dioxide crystal 102 near its transition temperature (68 C.). The modulating source 112 varies in accordance with modulating information the heat supplied to crystal 102 thereby varying accordingly its temperature and hence its reflectivity. The reflected beam 100' is then amplitude modulated in accordance with the modulating information.
As an illustration, the heat sink 101 is maintained at ambient temperature C.). The components 102 to 108 are made 0.1 cm. square, and in addition the crystal 102 is made 0.01 cm. thick. The insulator 104 is epoxy having a thermal conductance of 0.01 cal./sec.-deg., and the insulator 108 is a thin film of silicon dioxide.
To maintain the vanadium dioxide crystal 102 at an operating temperature near 68 C. the resistive heater 106 should supply about 1.5 watts of power. The reflectivity of the crystal 102 under these conditions will be about fifty percent. To modulate the incident beam 100 by twenty percent 0.12 watt of modulating power should be supplied by the modulating source 112. The additional power raises the temperature of the crystal 102 by about 3 C. =AT, and consequently increases the reflectivity of the crystal 102 from fifty to sixty percent which corresponds to a modulation index of AR/R=l0/50=20%.
The power of the incident beam 100 is preferably maintained below 0.5 watt in order that the beam itself not heat the crystal 102 and thereby decrease the index of modulation.
The same twenty percent modulation can be achieved by eliminating the heater 106 and passing a 1.5 watt signal (1 volt at 1.5 amperes) directly through the crystal 102.
The modulation rate, that is the time required to produce the change in temperature AT, is dependent upon the dimensions of components. In thin film form, modulation rates in the order of microseconds are feasible.
The particular materials, dimensions and operating conditions discussed above are illustrative only and are not to be construed as a limitation on the scope of the invention.
A second embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. 6. A thermoreflectance crystal 202 is positioned in the path of an incident optical beam 200 to be modulated. An insulator 204 separates the crystal 202 from a resistive heater 206 which is separated from a heat sink 201 by another insulator 203. A source of energy, such as the battery 210, produces a heating current in the resistive heater 206 to raise the temperature of the crystal to an operating temperature near its transition temperature. A modulating signal source 212 is connected in series with the battery 210 and the heater 206 in order to vary in accordance with modulating information the heat energy supplied to the crystal 202. The variations in heat energy (and hence temperature) produce corresponding changes in the reflectivity of the crystal 202 thereby amplitude modulating the reflected optical beam 200.
Alternatively, as discussed previously, the crystal 202 may be directly heated by connecting the battery 210 and modulating signal source 212 in series with the crystal 202 itself, thereby eliminating the insulator 204 and the resistive heater 206.
It is to be understood that the above-described arrangements are merely illustrative of the many possible specific embodiments which can be devised to represent application of the principles of the invention. Numerous and varied other arrangements can be devised in accordance with these principles by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Grayson Venhaus was the top finisher at the 2014 Turkey Trot race.
More than 200 participants took part in this year's CROP Walk/Turkey Trot, which was held on North Mesa Nov. 23.
The event was held to benefit the CROP organization, which helps those struggling with hunger.
Venhaus finished the 2.57-mile course in 16 minutes, 17 seconds. That mark was 20 seconds better than runner-up Ted Romero's time.
Other participants could choose to go on a 1.6-mile course for the race.
Here are the top 24 finishers from the 2014 Turkey Trot:
1. Grayson Venhaus, 16:17; 2. Ted Romero, 16:37; 3. Duncan Fuehne, 17:29; 4. Ryan Smetzer, 17:38; 5. Elias Velasquez, 17:54; 6. Tad Hughes, 18:24; 7. Nikol Strother, 18:38; 8. Jeremiah Palmer-Scott, 18:46; 9. Quinn Abfalterer, 19:03; 10. Nick Parra-Vasquez, 19:04; 11. Bill Rice, 19:35; 12. Roxana Candia, 19:59;
13. Paul Bradley, 20:02; 14. Zack Medin, 20:36; 16. Steven Strevell, 21:03; 17. Michaelle Sutton, 21:30; 18. Duncan Hammon, 21:38; 19. Darla Thompson, 21:50; 20. Vincent Chiravalle, 21:57; 21. Everett Key, 22:05; 22. Pete Sheehey, 22:31; 23. Artemia Rojas, 23:05; 24. David Kratzer, 23:16.
The Moriarty Pintos had the height advantage down low Tuesday night and they used it to their full advantage.
Los Alamos' boys basketball team was looking to snap its two-game losing streak to start the season Tuesday night, but the Pintos' game near the basket proved to be too much to overcome.
Moriarty's big man, Jake Flaming, who is listed at 6-foot-7, dominated on the low block, dropping in 27 points as the Pintos thumped the Hilltoppers, 51-32.
Flaming went 13 of 22 from the field on his night. Early in the game he showed the ability to go either inside the lane or down the baseline to the basket.
By the second half Tuesday, Los Alamos was out of answers defensively for him.
With the loss, the Hilltoppers drop to 0-3 on the season, with all those losses coming at home.
More troubling for the Hilltoppers, however, is that all three of those losses have been against Class 5A opponents, which could come back to haunt them if they get into position by the end of the year to vie for a playoff spot.
Right now, however, Los Alamos will have to focus on fixing a myriad of issues, not the least of which is scoring some points.
The Los Alamos Hilltopper boys basketball team will be at home tonight taking on the Moriarty Pintos.
Game time is 7 p.m. Tonight's game will be broadcast on KRSN.
The Hilltoppers (0-2) will be looking to bounce back from a big loss a week ago. They were crushed by the Valencia Jaguars 83-35 at Griffith Gymnasium.
Both Los Alamos' losses this season have come against Class 5A competition. The Hilltoppers also lost their season opener to Aztec Nov. 22.
Tonight's game will be the second year in a row the two teams have played early season contests at Griffith Gym. Moriarty topped Los Alamos last year, 49-40.
In that game, Los Alamos had one of its best efforts of the season, but also committed 22 fouls and sent the Pintos to the foul line 24 times, where the Pintos converted 20.
Jake Flaming, Moriarty's big presence inside, finished with 12 points in last year's contest.
The Los Alamos Triatomics multi-sport club will be hosting its annual Christmas Lights Runs from now until Dec. 22.
Runs are scheduled for every Monday and Wednesday during that time.
The next run will be Wednesday starting at Barranca Mesa on Loma del Escolar. Run time is 6:15 p.m. and runners are asked to arrive promptly at that time and be warmed-up and ready to go.
According to the club, this year's runs will be shorter and flatter on Mondays and longer on Wednesdays. Wednesday's race will be 4.7 miles in length.
Runs are not competitive. They are designed to be fun for all participants and paced so that runners can admire Christmas lights around the neighborhoods.
Runners are encouraged to wear light clothes or reflective material for safety purposes. Runs will take place during active snowstorms but not if courses become icy.
For more information or for late-change announcements, visit the club's website, triatomics.org.
One of the big plusses of running an aggressive, attacking defense bent on creating turnovers is that setting up an offense isn't necessary to finding good shots.
And that's exactly what the goal of the Los Alamos Hilltopper girls basketball team has been during its first two games of the season.
Los Alamos forced 31 turnovers against the Pojoaque Valley Elkettes Saturday night at Griffith Gymnasium. A big chunk of those turnovers turned into quick transition buckets on the other end as Los Alamos rolled to a 59-39 victory.
It was the second impressive win of the season for Los Alamos to start the career of new head coach Nestor Trujillo — the Hilltoppers earned a solid victory over St. Michael's Nov. 25 on the road.
In previous seasons, Los Alamos had used pressure only situationally, but now, under Trujillo, it appears it will be the team's staple.
Even with its early success, the Hilltoppers feel they've got a long way to go to get its defense down-pat.
"We knew we needed to work harder," said Hilltopper guard Amber Logan. "We need to make it clear who was going to win this game."
Logan, a senior, has been on several Hilltopper teams in the past that has fallen victim to aggressive defense, including Pojoaque Valley's.
The Los Alamos Triatomics multi-sport club will begin its annual Christmas Lights Runs this evening.
Tonight's run is scheduled for 6:15 p.m. It will start in the downtown area and go around Ashley Pond. The full run will cover approximately 3 miles.
Christmas Light runs are scheudled every Monday and Wednesday between today and Dec. 22. The runs are non-competitive, but participants should be warmed-up and ready to go promptly at 6:15 p.m. It is highly recommended that all runners wear light-colored outfits or wear something reflective for safety purposes.
For more information about the Triatomics or to view the full Christmas Lights Run schedule, visit triatomics.org.
Those interested in keeping up with former Los Alamos basketball star Alex Kirk may do so online.
The NBA Development League, where Kirk has seen most of his playing time so far, has its own YouTube channel.
For approximately two weeks now, Kirk has been with the Cleveland Cavaliers' Developmental League team, the Canton (Ohio) Charge after spending the first nine games of the regular NBA season with the Cavaliers.
Kirk, of course, was signed to a free agent deal by Cleveland last summer. He was with Cleveland until Nov. 17 when he was assigned to Canton, a move that had been anticipated since the beginning of the NBA season.
Canton Charge games, as well as many other D-League games, are regularly broadcast on YouTube. Users can search the D-League teams they're interested in to watch games live and highlights are available for other contests.
Currently, a highlight video of Kirk's 25-point effort against Grand Rapids from Nov. 22 and a postgame interview with him is posted on the D-League's YouTube channel.

The Los Alamos Middle School Hawk seventh grade girls basketball team was the champion of last week's Pojoaque Middle School Invitational. The Hawks will be at Memorial Middle School for a game Monday afternoon.
Mia Nuckols earned a gold medal in all-around competition for the Los Alamos School of Gymnastics at the team's meet earlier this month.
LASG's Atomic Tumblers took part in the Eagle Ridge Autumn Invitational Nov. 14-16. In all, 12 teams took part in the event.
Nuckols had LASG's all-around best total of the day with a personal best score of 35.40.
Nuckols, who is a first year competitor, won gold in the younger bronze division of the Xcel competition, finishing first on uneven parallel bars (9.10), balance beam (8.90) and vault (9.10).
Also at the competition, teammate Aria Warner also competed bronze, but in the older division.
Warner took the bronze in the all-around (33.70) and on three other events, the floor exercises (8.10), beam (8.00) and vault (8.60). She took silver on bars with a 9.00.
The skills in the new USA Gymnastics bronze level are equivalent to those in the Junior Olympic level 3 program.
In the silver younger division Sara Gardner struck gold on beam with an 8.80. Kaeley Bustos took bronze on beam with an 8.65. The new Xcel silver division is comparable in skill level to the JO level 4 division.
In the younger gold division Addie Richie took the gold in the all-around with a 34.00.
