Petersen Museum's Bulldog Cafe saved from demolition

From 1928 until its post-1966 demolition, the Bulldog Cafe, a free-standing structure in the shape of a pipe-smoking bulldog, stood guard at 1153 West Washington Boulevard in Los Angeles, selling tamales and ice cream to hungry passers-by. Recreated (in slightly smaller scale) within the Petersen Automotive Museum, the Bulldog Cafe gave visitors a glimpse of L.A.'s once-prevalent programmatic architecture. When the interior redesign of the Petersen called for demolition of the dog, it was serial entrepreneur and preservationist Bobby Green that came to the rescue, saving the replica Bulldog Cafe from its scrapyard fate.

As the automobile became the preferred method of transportation in Southern California, business owners sought ways to make their establishments more noticeable, and one popular method involved constructing buildings in the shape of everyday objects. Known as programmatic architecture, the trend gave rise to businesses shaped like hats (The Brown Derby), airplanes (The Airplane Cafe), women in hoop skirts (Betsy Ann, an ice cream and candy shop), dogs (The Pup Cafe and the Bulldog Cafe), pigs (The Pig Cafe) and even whiskey barrels (The Idle Hour Cafe).
The trend wasn't limited to Southern California, either, as examples of bizarrely shaped businesses can be found as far east as New Jersey, which claims Lucy the Margate elephant (whose 1881 construction predates the rise of the automobile) as its own. By the late 1950s, the trend had largely come and gone, with many such buildings eventually bulldozed to make room for more modern structures.
Dismantling begins.
In an effort to recreate the feel of postwar Los Angeles, the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County recreated the Bulldog Cafe on the ground floor of the Petersen Museum as part of its original 1994 construction. Made of stucco over mesh and supported by a metal stud frame, the pipe-smoking pooch greeted thousands of visitors to the famed automotive museum, but like the original tamale shop, the Bulldog ultimately fell victim to urban renewal. Until, of course, Bobby Green received a phone call from Chris Nichols, a writer for Los Angeles Magazine, advising him that the Petersen's Bulldog Cafe was in need of rescue.

Of all the people in Los Angeles, why did Nichols call Green? First and foremost, Bobby and his company, the 1933 Group, are currently elbow-deep in the resurrection of another programmatic landmark, the Idle Hour Cafe on Vineland Avenue in Los Angeles.
Built in 1941, the barrel-shaped building served as a bar and restaurant for three decades before becoming La Caña in 1971. The flamenco club lasted until 1984, and the building's owner continued to live on the premises until her death; eventually, the building became the property of the City of Los Angeles, and Nichols was instrumental in getting it declared a historic landmark.
When the property was auctioned, Green and his 1933 Group (who have a track record of restoring historic watering holes) were the winners, to the delight of those involved in its preservation. Bobby is also a car guy who owns the Old Crow Speed Shop and is a partner in The Race of Gentlemen, so he understood the significance of preserving a relic from the old Petersen Museum.

Tipped to the fate of the Petersen Bulldog, Bobby placed a phone call to Forest Casey at the Petersen Museum, a former colleague of Nichols' at Los Angeles Magazine. Yes, Forest explained, the Bulldog Café was available and free for the taking, but there was a catch: Bobby and his team would only have a few days to remove a structure thought to be immovable because of its sheer size and weight. Word was that the dog's stucco exterior was too fragile to survive dissection into manageable sections, meaning that any attempts at removal would likely result in its destruction. With nothing to lose, Bobby and his team began cutting; three days, eight sections, a forklift rental and a flatbed truck rental later, the dog had survived both the operation and the subsequent relocation to its new backyard.

The Bulldog Cafe has found a permanent home on the patio of the Idle Hour Cafe. Too small to be used as a viable commercial restaurant space, the building will be just the right size for party room rentals, expanding the capabilities of Green's original property while preserving part of the Petersen Museum's history in the process. Look for the Idle Hour Cafe (and the Bulldog) to open in 2015.
Engine builder Ed Pink presented with Petersen Lifetime Achievement Award

Though largely known for his drag racing Hemis, the engines that Ed Pink built over the last 60-plus years have won races in a wide variety of motorsports, from midget racing all the way up to Indy car racing. That adaptability and Pink's longetivity, not to mention his capability, this earned him a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Petersen Automotive Museum, presented at last week's SEMA show.
Pink, who many call "The Old Master," began building engines in 1948 under the tutelage of Lou Baney after attending trade school in Los Angeles. It was there that he first became proficient in building Chrysler's Hemi V-8 for drag racing purposes. "We ran our own dragster, then we got some pretty good guys to drive for us, like Mike Snively, Tom McEwen, and Connie Swingle," he told Jim Donnelly for a profile on him in Hemmings Muscle Machines #28. Because Hemis at the time were so prevalent, "we'd buy all the 392s we could, tear 'em apart and have 30 to 40 blocks to sell."

Over the next decade, Pink would work for hot rodding legends Eddie Meyer and Vic Edelbrock, but in 1957 he decided to open his own shop. At first, he specialized in cylinder heads and ignition, but as the popularity of drag racing grew, so did his business and his reputation for building winning engines. During the drag racing heyday, he counted among his customers such drag racing superstars as Don Prudhomme, Don Garlits, Tommy Ivo and Shirley Muldowney. Complete Ed Pink-built Top Fuel engines went for as much as $7,500 in the early 1970s.
Then in about 1980, Pink focused his attention elsewhere after noticing that the top drag racers had started to hire their own in-house engine builders, funded by major sponsorship contracts. He remained in the engine building business, however, applying his talents to midgets, stock cars, and even to the Indy car efforts of racers such as Al Unser and Roger Mears. As Petrolicious noted in a look at the Ed Pink Racing Engine business last year, Pink also dabbled in building engines for IMSA and Le Mans prototype racing, and NASCAR drivers such as Tony Stewart and Kasey Kahne have driven cars powered by his engines.

Pink continued to run his business until selling it to Tom Malloy in 2008 and these days runs Ed Pink's Garage with Bob Brandt, a shop that, if anything, seems devoted to a wider range of projects, including restoration, street rod construction, and research and development work.
"Ed Pink rarely found a branch of motorsports that he was unable to excel in," the press release announcing the award noted. "No matter the challenge, The Old Master rose to meet it, and it is because of that sense of determination, track record of success, and a legendary kind streak that Ed Pink was chosen as this year's Robert E. Petersen Lifetime Achievement Award winner."

Pink had been inducted into the Motorsports Hall of Fame in 2012.
Previous winners of the Petersen Lifetime Achievement Award include Carroll Shelby, George Barris, Andy Granatelli, The Ford Family, Vic Edelbrock, Jack Roush, Ed "Isky" Iskenderian, Bill "Speedy" Smith, Alex Xydias and Wally Parks.
Artist and designer Steve Stanford drops in on the Petersen

More than 30 years after getting his start as an automotive illustrator specializing in street rods and customs, artist Steve Stanford will host an exhibit and retrospective of his work at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles.
Born and raised in Saint Louis, Missouri, Stanford was interested in cars from an early age, first catching the bug when one of his neighbors gave him some custom car drawings that he had done. Stanford drew cars throughout his childhood, but was unable to find a job in the automotive sphere, so he enlisted in the Air Force at age 18 when his mom forced him to get a job.
While he didn't enjoy his munitions work in the Air Force, Stanford was able to use his military career as a safety net while doing the work he loved in the automotive world. Stanford learned to pinstripe in his off time and began to paint for customers when he was stationed at the George Air Force Base in California. Soon after he started to pinstripe, Stanford was discovered by his squadron commander who, far from reprimanding him, gave Stanford squadron art work. For the rest of his military career, Stanford painted for both his squadron and outside customers.
Freshly discharged from his Air Force station in Salt Lake City in the early 1970s, Stanford immediately found work as a full-time automotive artist. In Salt Lake City, he worked at ex-military man Wayne Roberson's new custom shop before being hired two years later by Artistic Vans, a custom van shop.
After many successful years in the Salt Lake City custom scene, Stanford finally managed to achieve his dream of practicing his art in California, when in 1980 he began working with race car painter Billy Carter, the owner of Carter Pro Paint in Chatsworth.
It was in 1982, however, that Stanford's career truly took off. The former tech editor of Car Craft, John Baechtel, stopped by Carter's a fair amount back then. During one of Baechtel's visits, he happened to come across Stanford working on his sketchpad. Baechtel was impressed and managed to get Stanford an illustrating job. By March 1982, Stanford was featured as a Car Craft "High Riser," a notable up-and-comer in the industry.
Since then, Stanford's career has been all success. After working at Carter's for 12 years, he moved to work with Pete Santini in 1992. Following his work at Santini's, Stanford moved, first to the Rodder's Journal offices and then to an office with Chuck Lombardo Jr. in 2002. Stanford has worked at Lombardo's ever since.

Steve Stanford shows no signs of slowing down, as his illustrations continue to grace the pages of some of the industry's biggest publications. It was only this year, however, that Stanford's work became more accessible to the general public when he created a Facebook page, Steve Stanford Designs. There, he posts some of his work almost daily and plans on using the online space to publicly debut new work.
The event at the Petersen featuring Stanford and his work will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on August 23, with Stanford signing autographs from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. For more information, visit Petersen.org.

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1954 Edwards America
One of the dozens of cars that the Petersen Automotive Museum sold at auction last year, this 1954 Edwards America recently hit the market again, this time sporting a fresh restoration in the same dark-green-over-tan-leather combination it previously wore. Cleaning it up appears to have done wonders for the low-mileage and limited-production 2+2, to the point where it wouldn't be surprising to see it on a concours field now. From the seller's description:
The second of only five Edwards Americas ever produced. A long-time feature at the Petersen Automotive Museum – America's preeminent automotive museum. Recent frame-on restoration. Finished in gorgeous dark green with tan leather interior. 317-cubic-inch Lincoln V-8/205-horsepower. Automatic transmission. Believed to have been driven only 497-miles since new. Beautiful hand-stitched leather interior. Gorgeous Kelsey-Hayes wire wheels. A stunning complement of Stewart-Warner gauges. Hand finished wood dash. Power steering. Power windows.
Location: St Louis, Missouri

The Petersen Museum presents "The World's Greatest Sport Coupes"

What is the greatest sports coupe of all time? Ask a range of enthusiasts that question, and you're quite likely to get a myriad of different answers. Los Angeles, California's, Petersen Automotive Museum did just that, asking celebrities with a passion for automobiles to name the sport coupe they'd most like to own, and the results will form a new exhibit, The World's Greatest Sports Coupes, opening next week.
To give the museum credit, it certainly chose a diverse mix of guest curators. Representing the world of rock-and-roll are Nick Mason, the drummer for Pink Floyd and an avid car collector and vintage racer; James Hetfield, Metallica's lead singer and owner of the Custom of the Year award-winning Black Pearl; and Brian Johnson, AC/DC's front man and an avid racer who's been known to use Thunder Guts, his 1928 Bentley 4-1/2-liter Le Mans Tourer, as a daily driver.
Actors and comedians participating include Adam Carolla, former host of The Car Show; Patrick Dempsey, the actor turned race car driver and team owner; and Tanner Foust, Adam Ferrara and Rutledge Wood, hosts of Top Gear USA. Others acting as guest curators include Ian Callum, Jaguar's design director; Francis Ford Coppola, director, producer, Tucker owner, and screen writer; Bobby Rahal, former IndyCar star and team owner; John Lasseter, chief creative officer of Pixar and Walt Disney Animation Studios; and Bruce Meyer, founding chairman of the Petersen Museum and car collector extraordinaire.
While the Petersen has yet to announce the actual vehicles going on display – so far only hinting that designs from the United States, Italy, Japan, Great Britain and Germany will be included in the final lineup – it teased the selections in the above video, and the list of celebrity car enthusiasts involved should make for some decent guesses. (Oh, and Jaguar is sponsoring the exhibit, so it stands to reason that at least one Jaguar made the cut.) Making sure that those omitted from the list are not left out entirely, the exhibit will also include photography by Scott Williamson, highlighting other historically significant sport coupes.
The World's Greatest Sport Coupes will run at the Petersen Automotive Museum from April 10 through September 30, 2014. For additional information, visit Petersen.org.

More than just Italian cars: Concorso Italiano organizers expand to Desert Concorso
Concorso Italiano photos by David LaChance.
Concorso Italiano is one of the cornerstones of the world-famous Monterey Weekend every August. This gathering of Italian cars – heavy on the exotics, with a dash of production cars for balanced flavor – is a celebration of Italy's speed, style and culture. The organizers of that show have finalized details on their new event, Desert Concorso, which debuts next month.
Desert Concorso will continue to embrace Italian food, fashion, art and music, but it will expand its focus to welcome special vehicles from other nations, as well. Expect to find some of the finest British, German and French classics, and even unique American hot rods, on the manicured lawns of the Shadow Mountain Resort. A special display of European classics will come from the Petersen Automotive Museum, and to celebrate Maserati's centennial, the Riverside International Automotive Museum will show some of its classic Maseratis.
The event will take place between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Sunday, March 30, at the Shadow Mountain Resort in Palm Desert, California, and spectator adult admission costs $70. Children under age 14 are admitted free with a paid adult. For more information, visit DesertConcorso.com.
Unrestored 1965 Cobra 427 S/C turns up at Petersen Museum cruise-in

When the Petersen Museum holds a Shelby-themed cruise-in, there's no telling what will turn up in the parking lot of the Los Angeles institution. While there was no shortage of rare and desirable Shelby models at last weekend's event, it was an unrestored 1965 Shelby Cobra 427 S/C, owned by Anthony Boosalis, that caught our eye.
Boosalis has owned the mostly original car for the past two and a half years, and the weathered gold Cobra is a radical departure from the carefully preserved and immaculately detailed norm. As the World Registry of Cobras and GT40s, Fourth Edition explains, CSX3047 was billed to Shelby American in February of 1965 and finished as one of about 30 S/C (for Semi-Competition) models. The initial order for the car came from Larsen Ford of White Plains, New York, in May of 1966 (and it was Larsen that requested the car in Hertz Gold, for promotional advertising purposes), and in August of that year, the dealership was invoiced $7,395 upon delivery.
In September 1966, the car was sold to its first owner in Hudson, New York. A month later, the car was returned to the dealership for some rather extensive warranty work, including the replacement of a broken pushrod, a damaged lifter and the rebuilding of the heads; in other words, the car's first owner drove the car as Carroll Shelby intended (and, likely, somewhat beyond).
The car's third owner lived in Ontario, Canada, and when he offered the Cobra for sale in December 1970, it was described as one of just 25 "street/competition" models, with a blueprinted Le Mans engine (under warranty) and no history of competition use or damage. It quickly passed through the hands of another owner (Carter Gette) before being acquired by Dick Reventlow (Lance Reventlow's half-brother), who owned the car for five months before selling it back to Gette for the same price.
Under Gette's second ownership, the car was painted Guardsman Blue over the original Hertz Gold. Perhaps because of his proximity to Lime Rock Park, Gette also offered the car for rental to approved clients. In addition to the $200 per weekend fee (a sizable amount in 1973), Gette also required a $10,000 deposit, in order to cover any potential damage to the car during spirited driving. One person with the means to rent the car at Lime Rock was P.L. Newman, better known as the actor Paul Newman.
From the 1970s through the 1990s, the Cobra passed through many hands, though it was a regular sight at Shelby American Automobile Club events on the East Coast, where it routinely picked up top three (and occasionally best in class) honors. By 2001, however, the car was beginning to show its age, with flecks of gold paint showing in chips of its once pristine blue paint. Another clue to the car's original hue was found on the back of the tachometer: next to the S/C designator was a note reading "gold."
In 2005, a restoration to the car's as-delivered state was considered, but never executed. Instead, then owner Don Silawsky opted to have the car cleaned, freshened and "de-painted," revealing most of the original Hertz Gold livery underneath the blue. Perhaps the best news was the condition of the body, which remained damage-free across five decades of ownership. The Cobra retains its original soft top, tonneau cover, side curtains, seat belts, period-correct (if not original) magnesium knock-off wheels, and, according to serial number data, engine.
Boosalis, the car's current owner, is no stranger to 427 Cobras. He's owned competition Cobra chassis CSX3016, a car that saw action at tracks like Nassau, Sebring, Bridgehampton and Watkins Glen, where in 1966 it set a lap record for a production car. Boosalis still owns competition Cobra CSX3026, which saw action at Brands Hatch before being returned to the United States; though this car was once modified for historic racing, Boosalis has returned the car to an as-delivered state. As for his latest Cobra, CSX3047, Boosalis has no plans to restore or modify the car in any way. As he explains it, the golden Cobra may be the most original 427 S/C remaining, so any restoration or modification will take away from the car instead of adding to it.
Popular opinion is with him as well. Perhaps because of the car's imperfections, it's won awards in its current state at SAAC gatherings, and just last weekend collected a People's Choice award at the Petersen cruise-in. Sometimes the beauty of a car goes far beyond gleaming paint and polished wheels.
New Petersen Museum exhibit sheds light on the lowly license plate

License plates have been a necessary evil for motorists since New York began requiring automobile owners to post their initials on vehicles in 1901, or since Massachusetts issued the very first state-produced license plate in 1903. Aside from paying an annual registration fee and dutifully affixing new expiration stickers to existing plates, few drivers give much thought to the state-issued signage that adorns rear (and, in most states, front) bumpers. As a new exhibit at the Petersen Automotive Museum illustrates, however, sometimes there's more of a story behind those numbers and letters than most motorists realize.
Called License Plates: Unlocking the Code, the exhibit will feature more than 220 license plates, gathered from across the United States and around the world. Among the oldest examples are a turn-of-the-century leather plate from California, constructed by an early automobile owner at a time when the state supplied only
metal (or wood) registration numbers and motorists were expected to construct their own method of display license plates. Another early California license plate, manufactured exclusively for members of the Automobile Club of Southern California and distributed between 1909 and 1913, is dubbed the "Mickey Mouse Plate" because its circular affiliation logos resemble the ears of the beloved cartoon rodent.
The unlucky 1928 Massachusetts license plate.
Among the more controversial plates is a 1928 example from the state of Massachusetts, depicting a fish swimming away from the state's abbreviation and towards the stamped year. Coincidentally, the state endured one of the worst fishing seasons on record that year, which presented a hardship for many (often superstitious) residents who derived an income from commercial or sport fishing. To right this wrong, the DMV employee responsible for the design was terminated, the fish was re-oriented to swim towards Massachusetts for the following year (on commercial plates only, as other plates dropped the fish entirely), and the state's fisheries once again enjoyed a normal, productive year in 1929.
One of the more artistic plates on display comes from Argentina, where, until 1972, each province enjoyed its own specific license plate design. Not content to issue residents a stamped steel plate with letters and numbers against a contrasting background, many provinces issued registration plates with scenic backgrounds, hand-painted to include scenes of waterfalls, mountains and lakes.
The exhibit commemorates the 100th anniversary of California's state-issued license plates (which debuted in 1914), and contains examples from three noted collectors, including license plate historian Jeff Minard. License Plates: Unlocking the Code, now open, will run through February 16, 2014. For additional details, visit Petersen.org.
Steve McQueen's XKSS to anchor new Petersen Museum Jaguar exhibit
McQueen's 1956 Jaguar XKSS. Photo by Scott Williamson, courtesy Petersen Museum.
If Steve McQueen is the "King of Cool," then the Jaguar XKSS may very well qualify as the "King of Automotive Cool." Essentially a Jaguar D-type racer with the modifications necessary to make the car street legal, only 16 XKSS models were produced (18, if you count factory conversions), and Steve McQueen owned one he affectionately called the "Green Rat." That car will headline the list of Jaguar models to be displayed in a new Petersen Museum exhibit scheduled to open on December 7.
The 1956 Jaguar XKSS was the brainchild of American racer and entrepreneur Briggs Cunningham. Upon hearing that Jaguar had 25 D-types remaining in inventory after the automaker's withdrawal from factory-backed racing in 1955, the ever-persuasive Cunningham reached out to Jaguar head Sir William Lyons to request a car for SCCA production sports car racing. Such a car would need to be street-legal, and it would need to be constructed in a minimum quantity of 50 units for homologation. Lyons agreed, and the resulting effort was dubbed the 1956 Jaguar XKSS, the SS suffix reportedly denoting "Super Sport."
To make the car road-legal (and, perhaps, more appealing to prospective buyers), Jaguar added a passenger-side door, a larger windscreen (complete with chrome frame), turn signals, side windows, more substantial taillamps and a rudimentary folding top. Some cars even got trunk-mounted luggage racks, further proof of their "touring" mission. What didn't change was the D-type's drivetrain, a 3.4-liter inline six-cylinder engine rated at 250 horsepower and mated to a fully synchronized four-speed manual transmission. The combination was good enough to deliver a 0-60 MPH time of a little more than five seconds, on the way to a top speed of 149 MPH. Ensuring that an XKSS driver could control such potential, the car carried over the D-type's disc brakes and rack and pinion steering.
Shortly after work began on converting the existing 25 D-types in Jaguar inventory, a fire broke out at the automaker's Browns Lane factory. Nine cars under construction were destroyed, as were the assembly jigs and tools needed to construct additional cars, leaving the count of "first run" D-types at just 16 cars. Two D-type owners would later return their cars to the factory for conversion to XKSS specifications, while some original XKSS buyers had cars returned to D-type specifications. No matter how many XKSS models remain, there's no arguing the car's desirability among collectors.
McQueen acquired his example in 1958, and quickly developed a reputation for amassing speeding tickets behind the wheel of the Green Rat. The XKSS was reportedly responsible for McQueen's license being suspended on two different occasions, and the actor allegedly dodged one speeding ticket by claiming that his six-month pregnant wife, Neile, had gone into labor. The stunt earned him a police escort to the hospital, but the officer departed the scene before McQueen sheepishly explained to the ER staff that it was only a "false alarm."
The actor sold the Jaguar in 1969, but soon regretted his decision. In 1977, he repurchased the car and retained ownership until his death of mesothelioma in 1980. It sported several custom touches not found on other XKSS models, including a leather interior crafted by Tony Nancy and a glove box door constructed by McQueen's friend, Von Dutch. Delivered from the factory in white with a red interior, the color was changed to British racing green with a black interior under McQueen's ownership.
Mel Torme's 1937 Jaguar SS100.
Other Jaguar models to be included in the exhibit are a 1937 Jaguar SS100, previously owned by "Velvet Fog" voiced singer Mel Torme; a 1949 Jaguar XK120, driven by Emma Stone's character Grace Faraday in the 2013 motion picture Gangster Squad; a 1965 Jaguar E-type, driven by Don Draper (played by Jon Hamm) in the television series Mad Men; and a 2014 Jaguar F-type V-8 S roadster.
The Jaguar exhibit is scheduled to run from December 7, 2013, until February 16, 2014; for additional details visit Petersen.org.

What if one simple song about being kinder to our world could really make a difference? Not just for the world, but for local community and education programs as well? That's exactly what happened to Maureen Husing and the students and staff at the Portledge School in Locust Valley.
Late last fall, Husing, a music teacher at Portledge, was notified through the school's foreign language department about a fun and promising contest: "Rock the Statue Green: A Transatlantic Art Contest" had a beautiful message and a mission Husing could get on board with. The contest strove to celebrate "the Statue of Liberty's 125th birthday, the environment, and Franco-American friendship" through art, music, and other creative mediums.
Maureen Husing's first grade music class, winners of the "Rock the Statue Green" contest, includes Finlay Austin, William Barnett, James Bodian, Noah Capps, Jack Fentress, Ava and Olivia Leone, Logan Mott, Tucket Ort and Lindsey Weis. Courtesy Portledge School
"Rock the Statue Green," which boasted such sponsors as Air France and the Museum of Ellis Island, received innovative entries from more than 4,000 students from across the United States and France. Despite having only a few weeks to plan, rehearse, and submit their original song entry, Husing's first-grade class was awarded the $500 prize for first place in the K-3 category at the contest's close in December.
Husing arranged the music, drawing inspiration from the popular Muppets tune "It Ain't Easy Being Green," sung by Kermit the Frog. But she gave lyrical license to her students who contributed their own "green" experiences, from remembering to throw plastic bottles in recycling bins to turning out the lights when you leave a room.
The students worked hard, memorizing and rehearsing their version of "It Ain't Easy Being Green" three times a week before filming the video submission in only two takes. Their impressive efforts truly paid off when they were awarded the $500 prize, which will go toward the professional development of teachers at the Portledge School.

stunted WS tomatoes?
I WS'ed some tomatoes and they sprouted well over a month ago and just aren't putting out any secondary leaves. The tops are off because our temps are routinely in the 80s during the day and been in the 40 - 50s at night. Is this normal? I don't have much experience with WSing 'maters.
Even though the tops aren't growing, the root system is developing. Once the night-time temps stay in the 60s or higher, the tops will explode. Also, are your sprouts in containers deep enough to allow the roots to spread? Give it time. Once those babies are planted out in the sun, they'll take right off.
mine didn't like sticking around in the seed starting mix I sowed them in. I had a big batch of Yellow Pear (I sowed a lot because I had old seed that I didn't think would sprout well - ha!) They had to hang out in there a while because I wasn't ready to deal with them & had other things to do. Finally I put them in some old flats & it took a little while but they've perked up a lot. I used a mix of cheap stuff - garden soil (my dh got by accident) & potting mix & seed starting mix because the other two were pretty heavy. We've had a lot of rain, so I've had to be careful to empty the trays that don't drain, but once in a while when they were dry I gave them a little bit of plant food (Schultz) in their water. Those were the tomatoes that were the most stressed before re-potting, & the others that weren't as stressed are about as big on top now as their solo cups below! So, if I were you, I'd move them along - either to their permanent spot or to solo cups - or whatever you have handy.
Hope it works out for you! Good luck!

US secretary of defence Robert Gates' first day of talks in Moscow with his Russian counterpart Anatoly Serdyukov seems to have made progress on the discord over missile defence. Interfax quoted Gates in an upbeat tone: "Since the end of the Cold War, there have been some periodic problems, but overall the direction of the relationship has been towards closer partnership, closer working together. The progress has been marked, first of all, bilaterally by our ratification of the new START treaty and internationally by our cooperation together on UN Security Council resolutions with respect to both Korea and Iran." Serdyukov was less effusive but also expressed satisfaction over missile defence. "We are pleased to note that certain progress has ben made in these areas."
Gates tries to mollify Moscow over Libya
G & S discussed Libya. S said he urged western coalition to stop "unacceptable hostilities" in Libya as soon as possible, while G responded that military operations "should recede in the next few days". Mind you, no assurances by G.
On Afghanistan, the two defence ministers agreed on many issues. S said: "We see eye to eye on many issues related to Afghanistan. Russia is interested in the region's stabilization and in the success of the [NATO] coalition forces." Standard Russian position.
En route to Moscow, Gates had indicated that he had up his sleeve something on missile defence that could mollify Russia. He said US "can provide political assurances that would reassure Russia that no aspect of our missile defence has ever been intended to be used against Russia." But Washington cannot go beyond that to provide Moscow with a legally binding guarantee on AMD as the Congress might pose problems. G is scheduled to meet President Dmitry Medvedev. Unlikely Russia will be mollified. US-Russia history is littered with unkept verbal assurances. US seems to estimate Moscow has no real leverage but to accept what is on offer from Washington on missile defence.
Meanwhile, there is no let-up on Russian rhetoric. Novosti carried a fierce attack today against US over Libya. It said US is leading the operations on Libya while pretending it isn't in a lead role and that Moscow has no illusions the operations will end anytime soon. Nor can Russia believe in US' claim of altruism. Therefore, Gates' mission to change the Russian opposition to the Libyan operation will not succeed and Russian perspective on Barack Obama will henceforth be that he is no better than George W. Bush. It warned Libya has serious implications for US-Russia ties. What emerges is that Moscow and Washington can have selective consensus on some issues but no "fundamental changes" in the relationship is possible. A "real reset" will have to wait for another generation till the war legacy of Yugoslavia, Iraq and Libya is forgotten, ie., assuming US doesn't commit more aggression. Reading between the lines, the analysis seems to carry some implied criticism of Medvedev's decision to abstain over R-1973 on Libya. Significant that Novosti carried such an analysis when Gates is in Moscow.

If the ego-play can be seen as a Chess metaphor, US is a Queen while Russia and India qualify as Rooks. The two nations are safe only when supportive of each other. Sino-US-Pak axis after winning the Cold war has buckled a bit due to mutual suspicion and inherent contradictions; but The Rook despite losing is still quite safe and is emerging stronger economically.
US has the option to change its color.

Is Russia angry for real or they want to put the blame of all sins of Bush on the new bait Obama.

Thomas Edison's Kinetoscope, a forerunner to projected motion pictures, was first displayed in Seattle in 1894. One of the first talking pictures in Seattle was a Laemmle talking picture shown at the Synchrodome in July 1908. Edison talking picture experiments were done at the Orpheum Theater in 1912.
But what's considered Seattle's first sound motion picture debuted March 18, 1927 at the Blue Mouse Theater on Fifth Avenue – the theater that later debuted Al Jolson's "The Jazz Singer."[Read More]
'Nutcracker man' ate vegetation, despite giant jaw (Science News)

That was a surprise for researchers, who assumed the early human devoured food that was a little harder to chew than fruit and other soft vegetation.[Read More]

David C. Gorczynski, 22, was arrested and charged with two felonies for holding two signs saying 'You're being robbed' and another that said 'Give a man a gun, he can rob a bank. Give a man a bank, and he can rob a country.'

Enjoy the Taste of Eating Right with Essential Oils
Eating better is one of the simplest and most fruitful ways to improve your overall health and well-being. If we are what we eat, then adding the potent and healthful constituents found in Young Living essential oils to your daily diet can be an easy and delicious way to improve your health and energy.
March is the American Dietetic Association's National Nutrition Month, and what better way to incorporate their theme to enjoy the taste of eating right into your life than to enhance the flavors of your dishes with Young Living essential oils?
Here are just a few examples of how you can add richness and flavor to your cooking and food preparation by including Young Living essential oils:
Superfood Smoothie
For a delicious way to load your body with nutrients, add the following superfoods, fresh fruits and vegetables, and Young Living essential oils to your next smoothie:
- Fruit: bananas, blueberries, apples, oranges, grapes, strawberries, etc.
- Leafy greens: spinach, kale, Swiss chard, or even broccoli
- Almond milk or ice

Essential Oils & Exercise Part 1: Pre-Workout
This is the first article of a two-part series on how to incorporate Young Living essential oils and essential oil-infused products into an exercise routine. This post will focus on the pre-workout.
At least 30 minutes before each workout, it is important to increase the amount of water you consume. Supplement this with your choice of NingXia Red® for added nutrition, NingXia Nitro™ and Slique™ Tea to increase alertness, and a clear capsule with 4-6 drops of Lemongrass essential oil to get ready for your workout. These products work together to help improve energy and endurance and increase thermogenics in the body.
Immediately following this preparation, it is important to warm up the body to prepare your muscles for the workout. If your muscles are sore, gently rub a few drops of Peppermint essential oil onto the affected area to help soothe the minor discomfort. As with any workout regimen, a healthy diet and proper technique will help you achieve your fitness goals.
Recommended Pre-Workout Products:
NingXia Red: NingXia Red's cascading energy and nutrient-rich formula is a perfect way to prepare for any workout.
NingXia Nitro: NingXia Nitro is an all-natural way to enhance physical performance. Not only does it deliver a unique combination of B vitamins, essential oils, and green tea extract, but it also contains Bioenergy Riobose®, a premium ingredient clinically proven to increase energy, accelerate recovery, and reduce fatigue and muscle pain.
Slique Tea: By providing a rare blend of jade oolong leaves, ocotea, and frankincense powder, Slique Tea is a delicious beverage that provides a natural energy boost.
Slique Essence Essential Oil Blend: Young Living's Slique Essence essential oil blend contains a unique combination of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, spearmint, and ocotea essential oils that uplifts and energizes.
Lemongrass Essential Oil: Lemongrass essential oil contains high levels of citral, a compound that may support thermogenic activity in the body when consumed.
Peppermint Essential Oil: When ingested, Peppermint essential oil supports digestion and may improve concentration and mental acuity. When used topically, it soothes sore muscles.
In the next article of our two-part series on essential oils and exercise, we will focus on Young Living products that can assist you during your workout and post workout.
Please share with us any other pre-workout essential oil secrets you may have by leaving a comment!

The proposed approach evaluates the effect of integrating a large number of electric vehicles (EVs) on power grid operation and control. The EV fleets could serve as electricity load when drawing energy from the grid and as energy storage (vehicle-to-grid) when delivering energy to the grid. The paper considers two operating modes for EV fleets which are consumer-controlled and grid-controlled. The power grid generation mix represents a multitude of units including thermal, hydro, and wind. The paper considers the impact of EV battery utilization on offsetting the hourly variability of wind generation units in transmission-constrained power grids. The paper considers charging/discharging schedule of EV batteries and consumer driving requirements on the optimal hourly transmission-constrained commitment and dispatch of generation units in the day-ahead scheduling. The hourly solution of the proposed method will minimize the cost of supplying the hourly load while satisfying the temporal constraints of individual components in power grids.

Album Review: 'Always With Us,' By Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Originally published on Wed March 5, 2014 11:05 am
AUDIE CORNISH, BYLINE: The South African all-male group Ladysmith Black Mambazo became world-famous after collaborating with Paul Simon on the Grammy-winning 1986 album "Graceland." Since their beginning in the '60s, the group has recorded more than 50 albums and won multiple awards. Their new release is a remembrance for one of their own, the late wife of the group's bandleader. It's called "Always With Us." Banning Eyre has this review.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: (Singing in foreign language)
LADYSMITH BLACK MAMBAZO: (Singing in foreign language)
BANNING EYRE, BYLINE: Nellie Shabalala was just 49 when she died tragically in 2002. A few years earlier, Joseph Shabalala had taken Nellie and her all-women's vocal group into a studio to record a set of church songs. That recording is the basis for this one. Joseph and the guys from Ladysmith have added their voices to the mix as a tribute and a memorial.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: (Singing in foreign language)
MAMBAZO: (Singing in foreign language)
EYRE: Ladysmith Black Mambazo formed as an all-male group in 1960. They became huge recording artists in South Africa after winning singing contests held in workers' hostels. The Mambazo in their name likens their voices to an axe, sharpened to cut down competitors. Since their international debut with Paul Simon's "Graceland," they've been nominated for and won Grammys of their own.
On occasion, they have departed from their a cappella formula, adding instruments or collaborating with everyone from Dolly Parton to Lou Rawls. Here, the departure is seamless. They've simply added female voices to their signature sound.
MAMBAZO: (Singing in foreign language)
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: (Singing in foreign language)
EYRE: This music is a deep fusion of old Christian choral tradition and South African, specifically Zulu, language and rhythm. Ladysmith has been known to go in for shtick and gentle humor in some of their work. But this time around, the subject is religion.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: (Singing in foreign language)
EYRE: This song, "Nant' Ivangeli," translates: hear his word.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: (Singing in foreign language)
MAMBAZO: (Singing in foreign language)
EYRE: With Ladysmith Black Mambazo, reverence never means sadness or melancholy. Theirs is among the most distinctive and uplifting choral sounds around. And hats off to them for coming up with a creative and heartfelt way to make it fresh. The CD title, "Always With Us" is directed to the late Nellie Shabalala, but the phrase applies equally well to this group whose mark on contemporary music is indelible.

Rob was a very gracious host he made me feel right at home I'm disabled he was more than helpful. I would recommend this listing to anybody
Rob was a wonderful host for my stay. I felt right at home. Quiet atmosphere with a serene backyard to look out to and listen to nature. Rob was very helpful in all of my needs and where to go for food, fun and relaxation. The pool and park were just what was needed while visiting my family with littles. Rob provided all the amenities to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. I had the added pleasure of meeting his friend and family who happened to be there for part of my stay and had a great time playing cards. I highly recommend staying at Robs when in or around the Tampa area.
Rob was nice and had the room ready when I arrived. I enjoyed the amenities of the community and used the pool and fitness room often.
Just like visiting family.
We have never felt so welcome in a foreign home before. Rob really likes get to know the renters. We had the whole house for ourselves many times during our stay.
We used the kitchen crocery, the dish washing maschine and the laundry facilities - all included in the rent.
Rob had prepared 3 rooms for us, even though 2 was enough - so the last one was left unused.
Private bathroom for the renters.
Nice neighbourhood - clubhouse with many facilities - nice swimmingpools etc. The keys to the house lets you in at the clubhouse.
Under roof-parking in the garage - next to Robs car.
Can HIGHLY recommend this place and it owner. We loved it.
I am a very easy going and relaxed person. Enjoy having company and entertaining. Growing up in California made me a very enjoyable person to be around. I take life one day at a time and enjoy everything about it.
I have a nice home and enjoy having people from all over the world visit me. I have also traveled the world many times and have been to over 30 countries on over five continents. I also understand and respect all cultures and people.
When you arrive I will have a gift basket waiting for you with fruit. If their is anything you require or forgot to bring let me know and I will gladly have it in your basket. I want to make your stay as if you were at home.
I also love this little Mexican restaurant near my home and I take guests there as a way of saying "Thank your for staying"
