The U.S. Senate race this November between Democrat Michelle Nunn and Republican David Perdue will be one of the more unusual campaigns we have witnessed in Georgia. Neither has held public office and both are anxious to portray themselves as the ultimate "outsider."
There were some important political lessons that should have been learned from last week's runoff election.
The criteria for a failed state are pretty specific: Loss of authority over the use of force, loss of the authority to make collective decisions, inability to provide public services, and the inability to interact with the international community.
In 1997, Gov. Zell Miller appointed me to fill a vacant seat on the five-member State Ethics Commission and then reappointed me to a full term where I served until 2002. It was a rewarding experience and I am proud of the good things we accomplished at the commission.
In less than two weeks I'll celebrate my 60th birthday. Just for giggles, I perused some 60th birthday cards and, well, the outlook suddenly seems sort of grim. The creepiest of all pictured an empty deck chair on an emptier beach and contained these heartwarming words: "A sunrise is beautiful but so is a sunset. /For turning 60 today don't harbor any regret. / The autumn of your life will be so serene./ You will be the happiest that you have ever been."
In less than a month, students will be reporting for fall semester classes at the public colleges that make up the state's University System.
"I have gotten bad news and am much the worse for it.
For those who have endured Georgia's longest runoff election ever, the July 22 finish line is finally coming into view.
As child, the doctor came to our house if I was ill. Things change. I remember the day I got sick, and my parents bundled me into their car and drove to the doctor's office to see him., Today no one expects a doctor to make house calls.
With the July 22 runoff elections fast approaching, I called Junior E. Lee, general manager of the Yarbrough Worldwide Media and Pest Control Company, located in Greater Garfield, Ga., to get his thoughts on the various races and to see who he thinks will make it to the finals of the November general election and who will be eliminated this round.
The cellphone video told the story. A U.S. Postal Service van was parked beside a ravine. The driver was systematically taking packages from the back of the vehicle and tossing them down the hill. All in a day's work.
Georgia will soon be losing one of its most entertaining political personalities in U.S. Rep. Paul Broun, the Republican from Athens.
SAN DIEGO - This Independence Day weekend, memory takes me back to something my father said during a Fourth of July celebration many years ago.
The things you learn while surfing the Internet in desperation for column material. Did you know that there is a National Association for the Humor-Impaired? May Jimmy Carter (speaking of the humor-impaired) wash my socks if I am not telling the truth.
You wouldn't think, five years into the Obama presidency, that so many liberal Americans wouldn't like America.
If you want to meet the person who's the real state school superintendent, it's easy to find his office.
A few weeks ago, a former colleague I have known for more than 20 years called me a racist in a Facebook post because I did not agree with all of President Barack Obama's policies, especially his foreign policy that consists primarily of strategic dithering.
I suspect my recent silence on the subject of public education in Georgia has been deafening to some of you. I will explain.
Rep. David Stover is a brave man. He may well be one of the gutsiest people serving in the General Assembly.
Robots, artificial intelligence, the future ... what's not to like for a sci-fi buff like me?
I spent last week helping to assess a group of people for a job I couldn't do if my life depended on it. Actually, what they were seeking is not a job; it is a calling. And my life here and in the hereafter depends on how well they do it.
When I first started writing about politics, my conservative friends would preach the gospel of "local control." They believed local governments did a better job of running things because local officeholders were closer to the people who elected them.

Earthway Seeders
I'm thinking of buying an Earthway Seeder and I'd love to hear some feddback about them. I'd like to use it for planting carrots and lettuce, because it is so difficult to plant them evenly. Has anyone used them for this, and how has it worked?
We just bought ours this year and have not used it yet. We bought it primarily for sweet corn seed as we are doubling our crop this year. We sold out last year two hours into the market. Will be watching to see what answers you get. Sorry couldn't help.
It seems to plant carrots in little bunches that still have to be thinned but much easier than hand planting. Plus you can have the company make custom plates for you if you want different sized seed cups or spacing. It's a nice unit for the price. Tom
I think they are worth every penny ( AND MORE !!!!!!)
For years I seeded by hand which took me days, now I can plant my garden in a couple of hours ( I have a large garden )
If you want to seed small seeds more evenly, mix them up with about 1/3 to 1/2 sand, you will get more even seeding and less thinning out . Works well on red beets, or in case of carrots, mix some radish seed ( they mature so early and by harvesting them you create room for the carrots )
Hope this will help .
Have a great day
Jan .
Love my Earthway! I need to order another before it's time to plant again. I'm going to hook two together side by side. I'm linking to Red Hill General Store. They have the best price I've found. I ordered my first seeder from them and have ordered replacement plates too. I've always received my order in three or four days.
Here is a link that might be useful: http://www.redhillgeneralstore.com/earthseed.htm
I have one and I never use it. One year I remembered I had it and should use it but when I tried to use it for corn , it did not sow very evenly and seemed to dump a lot of seed in one spot rather than spacing it out more evenly. I have a couple fairly large gardens so you'd think I should get a lot of use out of it now, but I don't want to waste seed by dumping it all in one spot so I don't use it.
Besides, I kind of like the connection I feel to the earth by hand seeding. I feel I have a little more control. I've even been thinking of selling mine coz it is just sitting in a storeroom unused. I think I'd be afraid to see what would happen with carrot seed.
I love mine for small seeds, but I have problems with the larger seeds like beans, peas, and corn. Mine (all 4 of them)spit/pop the large seeds out the top, or get stuck behind the plate. Any suggestions? I have put "bonnets" on top of the seed holders to keep the seeds from popping out, but still have the sticking problem.
In regard to Earthway Seeders, I wouldn't be without mine!!
I have 5 in use every year, 3 of which are mounted side-by-side 12 inches apart on a light angleiron frame. I use these for turnips, collards, lettuce, cabbage, beets,etc.
I have used the single ones to plant lima beans & corn with no problems. The corn plate sows the seed about 8 inches apart. The light plate for carrots works well for planting turnips for roots, and for collards and cabbage.
for big seeds in the earthway seeder - I seed peas, but not corn, I use the large pea plate, but in order to get it not to stick and with less popping, fill it only to the "fill line" or lower is even better. It makes it a hassle, but I just carry extra seeds in a bucket with me to fill it up more often.
Used my seeder last year for cover cropping a large area with oats - very useful. Also tried carrot seeds, which I liked because it reduced thinning. I did go over the rows a couple of times with the carrots, because it seemed to come out a little sparse.
I have been researching these and from what I can find, people say to buy the Jang Clean Precision Seeder. They say that the earthway puts out too many seeds at once but the Jang seeder wastes less. Earthway is much cheaper. The single row Jang seeder is 395.00 plus each roller that you need for different size seeds is $21. This is Canadian prices from Willsies. http://www.willsie.com/brochures/seeder_brochure_january_2010.pdf
I hooked 3 together. Basically, I used a all-thread 18" or 24" inch rod, washers and wing nuts. Took the 2 axles out (1 at a time), replacing with the rod. Placed the seeders at the locations that I wanted with washers and wingnuts on either side of seeder. This way, I could change the distances between rows. It worked every well, I would suggest tying the handles together somehow and add alittle weight over the 'wheels'.
If your garden bed is very smooth, the Earthway works well, especially with small seeds. No thinning needed. My parents used my first one and bought the rest of them at yard sales. I have a total of 4 now, and don't use them much, only because my garden beds are acres and not smooth.
For a large gardener, they work well. For truck farmers, not so well. Only because of the amount planted.
I have not used a Jang but keep hearing from those who do if the seed bed is not perfectly smooth and free of all rocks and stones it will not work well at all. that pretty much made my mind up to stay with the Earthway seeders we have as we have a lot of stones, rocks, cobbles and boulders on our farm that would just get in the way of the Jang.
Now, if I had sandy loam soils than the Jang would probably work better than the Earthway
And Know the Earthway Seeder is made in America (Bristol, IN), the Jang is Korean made.
I have two Earthways. I bought one from the company and another off Craig's List. I like this machine. I have had problems with it with beans and peas. I believe that is due to lack of experience and I'm not ready to stop using it yet. I especially found it useful with large plots of radishes, carrots, chard, salad mix and scallions. Be careful about going back and forth because you think the planting is sparse or you will end up doing a lot of unnecessary thinning.
I've been using an Earthway for quite a few years and found that mixing the radish and carrot seeds together using the radish plate works quite uniquely. Yes, it plants both together in the same row mixing the entire length with radishes and carrots, but the results are pretty neat. The radishes germinate and come up first, which helps mark the row location and then the carrots emerge a little later. They grow well together and is especially beneficial for the carrots, providing them with stability and shade. When the radishes ripen and are sporadically pulled depending on ripeness, it creates more room for the carrots to grow and also thins them out a bit. By the time all the radishes are pulled, you have strong carrots that require minimum thinning. The other benefit is that the radishes help loosen the soil for the carrots' root growth. I've been doing it for years and it still works great,
I do that too. I also have done old parsnip seed mixed with the carrot and radish. Some germinates and some just acts as a thinner.
The only drawback to carrots and radish together is if you plan to do a weed torching of the carrots. The radish germinate too quickly to allow that.
What proportions of radish to carrot are you using? I've been using pelleted carrot seed and like it. However I bought the plate from Johnny's for pelleted seed ($30) and was not happy with it. It seemed to crush the pellets. So I played around with all the other plates and discovered that the spinach plate puts 2-3 seeds every 2-3 inches. Works about perfect for me. Little or no thinning but even sowing.

I thought that I would share my experience thus far this Spring using an olla for watering my small garden. (Is it spring if the temperature as I write this is 105 degrees?) Please comment freely.
I'm located in NE Phoenix. My vegetable garden consists of a grand total of 4 Armenian cucumber plants and 4 butternut squash plants. All were planted from seed around mid-April in 2 separate containers, 15-18 inches wide and 10-11 inches deep. On about April 11 (approximately 17 days after germination) 2 cucumber plants and 2 squash plants were transplanted to a plot in the ground with an olla in the center. The olla was made from 2 - 6 inch pots and holds not quite a gallon of water.
Here's the plants in the original containers before transplanting
The olla:
Here's the olla going into the ground:
Here's the transplants shortly after being moved (looking pretty sad):
Here's the containers today:
And the transplants today:
Now having said all that, here's (to me) the interesting part. Most days I have had to water the container plants once averaging 1.5 to 2 gallons of water per container. In the current hot weather of 100-110 degrees this week, I've had to water them 2 times daily. The olla watered plants on the other hand have been watered every 2nd or 3rd day, usually needing less than ½ gallon each time. In the current hot weather I'm topping it of daily with less than ½ gallon each time.
I know this is entirely unscientific, i.e. different containers, close but slightly different locations, some in containers the others in the ground, etc. but the difference in the amount of water needed is striking to me. In addition, the olla watered plants, although smaller than the container plants are healthier looking. Also, the container plants have had some days where they were watered in the morning but by the time I get home from work they had wilted and needed immediate watering. The olla watered plants don't experience that. They appear to be consistently getting water as needed. I'm attributing the difference in size to being transplanted, especially since I did it mid-morning on a hot, sunny day. And they are catching up with the container plants. But so far the difference in the amount of water needed, the ease of watering and the availability of water as needed to the plants has me sold on ollas.
I'm wondering about the experiences of other folks using ollas and any comments that people might have.
I too am an olla lover. I tried them a couple of years ago but when the plants came in, the lush growth prevented me from finding the darn things to refill them.
This time I planned better, and queried someone else on how he replenished the water. He told me he uses a 'water wand' with the sprinkle head removed. Viola olla! Works great.
Here's a picture of my bed with three olla's. I have three beds, 4' x 6' and all three have basically the same setup. I erred in one bed in not putting in a good bottom stopper. I had stuffed a piece of foam in the bottom hole and am guessing the force of the water during a refill dislodged it. That happened with two olla's, just like the ones you made. Large[ish] clay pots from the 99 cent store. You don't mention how you stoppered the bottom hole. Most anything would probably work better than that piece of foam. All others were fine but I used various methods of stoppering. Next time, corks all around.
I agree whole-heartedly that the beds are less needy for water. I would refill the olla's each day, every other day worst case, and just lightly spray the beds. The soil must remain damp, at minimum, for best wicking results.
Definitely a keeper of a solution. Thanks for posting about it. More people here should employ this 'trick'.
What works just as well, or better for refilling, are those unglazed clay 'wine coolers'. The idea is to soak the clay cooler until the clay is saturated, dump out the water and your bottle of wine will stay cool. Don't know how well they work for that but they make great ollas. Get them at Goodwill or other thrift type stores. Methinks they were wedding presents that didn't make the cut. ;-) I use clay plant saucers to cover the top.
Here's a bed picture before planting (the soil should cover the olla, I fixed this with more dirt later, and mulch):
Actually this is a very demonstrative experiment. I saw no difference between the olla and the two containers except the black container had more growth (with flowering). Once you realize the difference in water consumption there is no doubt the ollas were a huge success.
Yes, it is a tiny sample size and the experimenter was responsible for choosing the photographs but the results are so dramatic in their lack of difference that it clearly shows ollas conserve water big time in the summer here. They do take up real estate however for broad use in a garden. For plants that need space not a problem, but ones that can be planted 12-16 per sq. ft. maybe a hole every 4" drip tape system would work better.
This is such a fun and useful discussion! I too am a huge fan of ollas ("oy-yuhz") and have been using them since around 2000 when I first bought a bunch of no-holes-in-the-bottom cool Egyptian urns in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I half-buried them and filled them a couple of times a week and the plants nearby (in the ground and in pots) did great. I've since moved across town, but took those pots with me and I still use them. It's a great concept and I think it makes a huge difference in terms of reducing the amount of water we need for our plants.
Your pics and comments are great, thanks for highlighting this great old time technique! I also use "plant nanny" which is similar with a big terracotta spike you jab into soil and then invert a large drinking/wine/water bottle filled with water in it. Same idea: slow, seeping water.
Keep the updates and discussion coming!
Happy gardening and thanks for sharing your experience and information so freely! Gardeners are just the best!
Take care,
Here is a link that might be useful: Plant nanny, seeping terracotta spikes
SkipV, the olla plants do look happier! I've seen the technique in a "propagation box" but it's the first time I've seen it in the garden. Your soil looks so rich...did you add alot of organic matter?
Grant, you can try the wine bottles as plant nannies too without the terra cotta stakes. I've even had 2 or 3 going in large pots at the front door but then I started to worry what the neighborbors would think lol
Thanks everyone for your comments, and for the water wand, plant nanny and wine cooler ideas. Fascist_Nation: I can see that space could be a problem, but for now my garden is so small it isn't an issue yet.
I will have to amend my post to say that I happened to be home mid-day earlier this week and the olla watered plants were wilted some in the Noon sun, but by the time I got home at night they had recovered nicely. (I didn't add any supplemental water because I really want to see how they do with just the ollas.)
The olla plants haven't produced yet and I just harvested 3 cukes from the container plants. But, I expect the olla plants to be somewhat behind because they were transplanted from their original location so we'll see what comes from them. I enjoy planting but I don't cook at all so now I've got to rely on family to figure out what to do with the produce.
Large leaved veggies will curl in on themselves in the heat of the day. They do that to save evaporation of the plant's water/moisture content in the leaves and stems. Even if the soil is well hydrated, the large leaves lose too much moisture to the air so it tries to conserve square footage, in a manner of speaking. Like covering your forearms with a loose cotton shirt. I think you're doing fine with it.
wanna_run_faster: I did mix in some bagged potting soil or compost. Can't remember exactly what it was, I wasn't paying close enough attention that day.
marymcp: Thanks for that info about the leaves curling in. The leaves for all the plants have gotten a little "crispy" around the edges. The container plants much more so than the olla plants, and the squash more than the cukes. I've interpreted that as a sign that they weren't getting enough water. And that the squash need more water than cukes. Do you think that's correct?
Desert gardening is new to me. I did a little gardening up north (Michigan) before we moved here and mostly that was irises and coneflowers. I've had success with cactus cuttings here. This year is the first time I've tried vegetables here.
Oh and btw I used waterproof bath and kitchen caulk to plug the bottom hole of the olla. At the end of the season I'm planning on digging it up to see how the plug did and also because I think i see roots inside the olla. I understood that they would grow around the outside but didn't think they would find their way inside. We'll see in a couple months.
SkipV - 'crispy around the edges' is different from 'leaves wilting and curling'. I would not automatically think low water, look also at sun exposure. The leaves could be getting fried by the sun causing the crispiness. You could try shading the plants in some manner. I have a mesquite tree strategically placed to provide dappled shade throughout the day, that's not working for one bed so I'm using pvc hoops covered in a large scrap of fabric. I have a pic of the hoops, you'll have to imagine the covering. You can attach the covering with large binder clips (thanks to Facist_Nation for that tip), The pvc is in 10' sections, costs just a couple of bucks and I've just shoved them into the soil a few inches. Some folks hammer in a rebar pole and slide the pvc over the rebar.
That middle bed is the one in the above pic, this shot was taken in April, there are four tomatillo plants (on the right as you are looking at it) and two tomatoes. Bed on right is tomatoes, same on left although there's basil in there too. Only thing still kicking today is the basil and a bunch of spaghetti squash that came up from compost that was added.
marymcp: Thanks for the info and suggestion. Wilted and crispy - I've got both to varying degrees. More water to the container plants seems to have taken care of the wilting but not the crisp edges. The sun exposure makes perfect sense about that now that i consider that the container squash has the greatest amount of "crispy" edges (there must be a more appropriate word than crispy....) and it gets the most sun, pretty much all day long. The other plants get shade later in the day from either a wall or a tipuana tree. I'll fashion a fabric shade and see how that helps. Is the kind of fabric important?
I don't think the type of fabric is critical but that's not what the marketing efforts of shade-cloth manufacturers will tell you. Mine is a light-weight jersey fabric, mostly white that I just had around. It probably lets *some* light through but I've no idea of the rating. :-\
I meant to say above that the stuff I've read says that wilting is normal in the heat and if the plant recovers in the evening/early morning hours that you should not worry about the wilting during the day.
I read on another board that someone would put plants in terra cotta pots and then dig a whole in the garden and put the pot in the ground. They did this to retain the roots and water. I think I going do the same but fill up the bottom hole first so I would have a double duty half olla.
I bury some plants in terra cotta pots to contain the roots from spreading. Good candidates for this treatment are mint, 'walking' onions, lemon balm....many others. Any plant that can become an invasive pest by taking over the garden.
I don't understand this statement: ...going do the same but fill up the bottom hole first so I would have a double duty half olla
A plant growing in the pot is not an olla because there is no room for a water reservoir if the terra cotta pot is full of soil and plant roots. Sorry, I don't get it.
Oh, I see where you are coming from now. Yes, most certainly burying the potted plant in a hole in the garden will keep the soil in the pot from drying out so quickly.
There is also the concept of sub-irrigation planting and/or a wicking bed. These ideas use a below ground reservoir system for water delivery. In this manner you maintain a sufficient water level in the reservoir so that the soil in the bed is able to wick the water up as needed. Kind of a large EarthBox. The trick is how to contain the water in the reservoir. Some have used a pond liner for containing the water then placing a raised bed over the 'pond'.
But - a buried pot filled with soil and a rootball is not an olla. And if one were to sink a larger clay pot for the buried pot to sit in, that is still not an olla. The design concept of an olla is to have a small opening that allows one to add water to the vessel acting as a hydro-reservoir. The small opening prevents evaporation.
Thanks for explaining your concept. Buried pots do retain moisture better than above-ground planting containers.
Just a quick update: we were away last weekend for 3 days when the Phoenix area set records for heat. For the cucumbers in the container I was able to reroute a drip line. For the squash in the container that wasn't possible so I created a sun shade from a recycled trellis and an old table cloth (probably needed to do that anyway) and for water for the squash I froze a gallon milk jug and poked 2 small holes in the bottom with an awl. The frozen jug was put into the container along with a 2 gallon plastic container filled with water (not frozen) with 1 hole in the bottom. For the plants watered by the olla I simply topped it off before leaving.
Three days later everything was somewhat stressed, but the cucumbers were fine and the squash was pretty okay except some of the small, new fruits were too stressed and won't develop I'm sure. But the plants watered by the olla were no different than they had been when we left. The water level in the olla was down considerably from what it usually is but it wasn't dry.
Hi Skip, Thanks for the update. That was a good experiment and continues to solidify our concepts about olla's in the garden. I will place more of them next time around, probably incorporate some smaller ones tucked in between the larger ones.
Keep on gardening!
I am experimenting with fruit trees. Persimmon, peach, fig. I also have pomegranate and blackberries. It is actually not recommended to leave the ollas with trees and shrubs as the roots may eventually crack the it. One of these pictures has a peach tree with an olla and new drip irrigation going in. This tree was planted 2 years ago. I started a company that makes/sells ollas because I couldn't find them and I wanted several for my garden. I began experimenting with glueing pots together to see if the method would work. I have had success using olla irrigation. I am gardening in Central Texas -- west of Austin.
Great info in this thread. I just wanted to add my experience at growing Goji berries and pink blueberries. Both are acid soil lovers. Instead of using acidifier amendments to the soil, I planted a 1.25 quart olla next to each plant with a 4" pot saucer as a lid. I keep the plants in separate half barrels. When I fill the olla I take non chlorinated water and add ~5ml of apple cider vinegar using a Nyquil cup. I can add chileated iron or Maxicrop-kelp or compost tea too if needed. So far the Gojis have taken off. The blues have grown well too from a cutting. I expect they'll do great this summer in Houston. When I stick my finger in the barrel I feel two inches of bone dry dirt followed by nicely moist dirt without it being too wet. Seems perfect. I can't ask for more.

City council updates sign ordinance
The Woodbury City Council voted 4-0 March 11 to adopt an updated version of the city's sign ordinance.
The city has been in the process of revamping its sign ordinance for the last year, which was spurred by a moratorium on new billboards in the city.
The city originally adopted the billboard moratorium in January 2007 after several other cities in the metro area faced legal challenges for establishing sign codes that outlawed construction of electronic billboards.

Episode 145
"Blue Ball Giraffe"
This raucous episode kicks off with killing a fly with a lightsaber. Marc and John share a new segment of Ben's "Stories from New York", complain about women's neadrathal-like impressions of men, John provides a follow-up on his Facebook tiff with a former colleague, the duo play a revealing round of John's least favorite feature "21 Rapid Fire Questions" and revisit the exclusive improv game "The Meh News" with reporting on a zoo's blue-ball alarm in the giraffe pen and a dog reporting in a park, along with granny's neighborhood mu-mus. Special guest sign language interpreting expert David Rhodes from VRIDirect tells all in a fascinating interview about medical interpreting, sign language secrets and distinctions, how learning Greek and a next door neighbor led to interpreting for a famous comedian, how to keep sane and ethical in extreme interpreting scenarios, and a story of 99,000 crickets.

Team preview: Chattanooga
Blue Ribbon Yearbook previews the 2006-07 college basketball season, exclusively on Insider.
(Information in this team report is as of October 1.)
Last year, his second as Chattanooga head coach, John Shulman may have turned in an even better coaching performance than his first season, when the Mocs beat Tennessee, won the Southern Conference championship and hung tough in the NCAA Tournament's first round.
Sure, the '05-'06 team won two fewer games and lost two more, and was thumped by Davidson in the SoCon title game, but it took some serious work to squeeze out the success the Mocs eventually had. They lost one of their top big men before the season started, had two more starters academically ineligible until mid-season, and then lost top player Alphonso Pugh for the season to a knee injury.
Somehow, the Mocs still found themselves in the championship game.
"The year before, everything we did turned to gold," Shulman said. "Last year, everything I touched turned to stone. But that's life. You can't just quit the season. You've gotta keep going.
"To lose Pugh, that was huge. He was one of the top scorers and rebounders in school history. With the things that happened to us, we had to play small ball, but we won some games. We boxed out, rebounded the ball and hung in there enough to get back to the championship game."
