San Francisco cracks down on restaurants for healthcare surcharge fees

San Francisco is cracking down on restaurants suspected of consumer fraud for pocketing money intended for employee's health care.
City Attorney Dennis Herrera said Friday that "several dozen" of the city's restaurants are under investigation for allegedly exploiting the now infamous health care surcharge fees that restaurants put on diner's tab to cover the costs of a controversial San Francisco ordinance passed in 2006 requiring employers to provide health benefits to employees.
Herrera's investigation is backed by findings from the Office of Labor Standards Enforcement, which estimates that only one third of the $14 million collected by restaurants in surcharge fees for worker health care benefits was actually used for the intended purposes.
But San Francisco's restaurant association said the investigation might be blowing the whole issue of negative intent out of proportion, and could potentially damage the reputation of several innocent restaurants that are on the city's list for mere reporting errors.
"There is this rush to judgment that everyone on this list is guilty," said Rob Black, executive director of the Golden Gate Restaurant Association. "But I believe the vast majority of restaurants on that list are there because of filing errors."
Black added that many restaurants in the city were unaware about how to properly fill out the form to report their health care spending to the city, "and the city did zero education on how to do it," he added. "It's clear that a lot of people simply misreported."
Some restaurants, like Patxi's Pizza, have already been accused for using surcharge fees for things other than worker's health care. Although Patxi's agreed to pay $320,000 to settle the complaint, the restaurant later claimed that it wasn't in the wrong — just mistaken.

Dumb Starbucks Shut Down by Health Department
The doors of the Dumb Starbucks have already been closed.
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health shut down the Starbucks parody Monday afternoon for operating without a license, a spokesperson confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter.
PHOTOS: 'Dumb Starbucks': Inside the Parody Coffee Shop
"The L.A. County has shut down the restaurant due to operating without a public health permit," the spokesperson told THR.
Earlier, Comedy Central personality Nathan Fielder announced that he was behind the parody pop-up store that appeared seemingly out of nowhere over the weekend in a nondescript Hillhurst Avenue location in Los Feliz.
STORY: Comedy Central's Nathan Fielder Reveals Himself as Dumb Starbucks Owner
Fielder is currently filming the second season of Nathan for You, in which he plays a version of himself helping struggling business owners employ funny and unorthodox strategies. He also is famous for encouraging 104,000 Twitter followers to pull pranks on their friends and family, for example to "mistakenly" send them texts about drugs.
STORY: 'Dumb Starbucks' Shop Appears in L.A.'s Los Feliz
Besides offering free coffee to thirsty Angelenos, the parody store served food (including pastries bought at Vons), which is a no-no for the health department.

"I made the invitations a dark blue color to match the color that I chose for my wedding. The quality and printing of the invitations were very good, they turned out even better then I thought they would. I love the whimsical design of the swirls, everything shown on the invitation is very clear and legible. You get exactly what you approve the designer to do. Everyone who received the invitation loved it. They thought it it was very pretty. I just wish it had a little more space for the reception information."
"We ordered these in watermelon with the white pearl shimmer cardstock. Absolutely beautiful, already received tons of compliments! If you're doing a vintage/ shabby chic theme, these are perfect! The quality is fantastic! We also ordered the platinum silver shimmer euro flap envelopes & the matching envelope liners. Very easy to put together and a very nice compliment to the invitations. The only issue we've had is with printing addresses on the envelopes, the ink doesn't want to dry. However, you can buy a fixative at a craft store to spray on it and that solves the problem. All in all, very impressed with the invitations and would definitely recommend them!"
"We ordered the white and gold ones and they are absolutely gorgeous! It truly does look metallic, even if there is no metallic ink/foil. I would definitely recommend this if you are looking for a classy invitation that has a "Gatsby" feel to it."
"I don't normally leave reviews, but I was so happy with these invites that I wanted to share my thoughts. The customer service was exceptional, the turn around rate for edits was fast and they arrived promptly. I had looked through hundreds of invites and searched several sites, but kept coming back to Wedding Paper Divas. Their prices were competitive and the invites are of strong beautiful quality. We needed clear wording with a delicate touch and these invites came through! I'm looking forward to mailing these out soon!!"
"We wanted something simple but beautiful for our casual city hall wedding and this fit us perfectly. We had it ticket cut and printed it on the heavy paper, then paired it with kraft envelopes and vintage stamps. (The 1990 love stamps with birds on them.) We tried the foil version of this design as well, but it just looked too stiff for us."

Help identifying White Rose
I'd really appreciate some help identifying a white rose that was found near an very old homestead. It has double white blooms,very small reddish hairy prickles all along the stems, and usually 9 small leaves per leafy branch. It has a lovely scent.
Northern Rose lover
I did think of posting a picture but it's done blooming. Mine is only 2 yrs old off the original found at the old homestead. It is a bush type. My friend's(the original) is about 3ft high, and 2ft wide. The leaves are darker, I'm not sure if they are a green-grey like the albas. I'm thinking it may be an OGR as it is not a repeat bloomer, but I've looked and looked on the web and haven't yet found one that looks like it. Would a picture of it without blooms be of much help?

CT (computerised tomography) colonography is a newer test that is also called virtual colonoscopy.
If you need a CT colonography, you may have to travel to a specialist centre. Your doctor or nurse can give you more information about this test.
Instead of having a colonoscope put into your bowel, a computer uses CT scanning images to examine your bowel. A CT scan takes a series of x-rays, which builds up a three-dimensional picture of the inside of the body. The CT scan uses a small amount of radiation, which is very unlikely to harm you and won't harm anyone you come into contact with.
In this test, a CT scanner takes a series of x-ray pictures of your bowel. A computer then puts the pictures together to make a three-dimensional picture of your bowel. This test may be done instead of a colonoscopy, or it may be done if the colonoscopy didn't give a clear enough picture.
A virtual colonoscopy is done in the hospital CT department. You can usually have it as an outpatient.
Your bowel has to be completely empty for the scan. You'll need to follow a special diet for a few days and take a laxative before the test. Your hospital will give you instructions about what to do.
Your doctor may give you an injection of a medicine to help the muscles in your bowel relax. You may also have an injection of a dye (contrast medium) at the same time. Your doctor will tell you if you're going to have this.
Just before the CT scan, the doctor will pass a tube into your back passage (rectum) and pump in some air and gas (carbon dioxide). This expands the bowel and helps to give a clearer picture. You will have two CT scans – one while lying on your back and one while lying on your front.
Waiting for test results can be a difficult time. It may take from a few days to a couple of weeks for the results of your tests to be ready. You may find it helpful to talk with your partner, family or a close friend. Your specialist nurse or one of these organisations can also provide support.
You can also talk things over with one of our cancer support specialists on 0808 808 00 00.
The bowel is part of our digestive system and is made up of the small bowel and the large bowel.
Bowel screening can find bowel cancer at a very early stage, when it has the best chance of being treated.
This test checks bowel motions for tiny amount of 'hidden blood'. It is not a test for cancer, but can indicate whether further tests are needed to examine the bowel.
Waiting for your FOB test results can be an anxious time. You should get them back within two weeks.
People react differently to their bowel screening results. There is no right or wrong way to feel.
A colonoscopy is a way of examining the lining of the bowel from the inside.
This is a special x-ray of the large bowel.
You may have lots of questions about bowel screening. You can ask your GP if you're unsure of anything.
Order the booklet of information about bowel screening for you, and anyone else who might need it, to refer to.
Worrying about cancer can have a big impact on your feelings. Read our advice to help you cope with your emotions.
When you're worried about cancer, hearing from other people who've been there can help you make sense of your thoughts. If you could help, please let us know.

DYK? Undetected glaucoma can lead to irreversible blindness in your senior #pet. Bring your furry friend in for a test today!Tweet
When your older pet comes in for a regular retinal exam, your veterinarian can look for signs of bleeding, degeneration, inflammation or detachment and recommend treatment before it turns into a larger health issue.
Want to soothe your aging #pet? Regular massage, joint manipulation or gentle grooming can help decrease anxiety.Tweet
According to Dr. Karen Overall, disorientation is one of the most common behavioral changes clients notice in their aging pets. If your dog or cat starts getting lost and confused in your house or outside, it could be a sign of age-related cognitive dysfunction.
Playing regularly with senior #pets, even if they're slowing down with age, stimulates animals' brains and keeps them acting younger.
Is your senior dog or cat pacing and vocalizing in the middle of the night, leaving you sleepless and helpless? Make an appointment with us so we can discuss this common issue for older pets, find a solution and put and end to the late-night ruckus.
If your geriatric #pet has lost interest in food and is losing weight, come see us for a diagnostic test to rule out underlying health problems.Tweet
As with humans, many senior pets start to lose hearing as they age. If your pet is hearing impaired, try tapping on the floor loudly upon entering a room to prevent startling the animal, since this can lead to fear biting.
Don't let your #pet suffer with arthritis pain. Noticing changes in walking or jumping? It might be time for a #veterinary clinic visit.

Would You Obey This Honor Code?
Today in San Francisco, a new bar opens — and a social experiment begins. Honor Bar will have an honor-based billing system. While the wine list suggests prices ranging from $8 to $15 per glass, how much you slide into the provided money slot is entirely up to you and your conscience. The bar will also provide instructions (and a pour-it-yourself area) for a daily champagne cocktail.
If this method of payment proves successful, it may spark a whole slew of bars based on the honor code. The appeal? Restaurants save themselves the cost of a bartender.
What do you think of this concept? I'd love to get your two cents (don't cheat me out of it!) Would you pony up the actual amount, or slide in a little less? Fear not; your answers are completely anonymous.

What is this maker mark on silverplate?
justlindaJuly 26, 2012
Have a child's "Peter Rabbit" baby spoon with this mark on the back. I would like to know what this mark is so that I can search and find out who the maker is.
Any guesses?
This is the whole spoon. I'm hazarding a guess that it is circa 1970, but really, I know diddly-squat. I checked out many of the Peter Rabbit cutlery and they all seemed to be marked Oneida, etc. This is one of the few that seems to have a pictorial maker's mark instead of a company name.
Just wondering if anyone has come across this mark or can put a name to it.

STORAGE BATTERY ENERGIZED SIGNAL LAMP FOR MOTOR VEHICLES Filed Jan. 20, 1956 INVENTOR @Izar-[e5 E R52/cts ATTORNEY Unite States Patent O In the past, such signal lamps have employed dry batteries to energize light-emitting bulbs, or have been provided with extension cords adapted for connection with conventional storage battery-energized lamp circuits in supplying the bulbs thereof with operating current.
Dry batteries often have a comparatively short operating life, and the use of extension cords limits the lamps in their eld of placement, as well as constituting7 a severe current drain on the associated storage batteries of motor vehicles used generally for engine starting for headlamp operation and other current-consuming accessories.
Itis, therefore, an object of the invention to provide an independently usable signal lamp having a casing in which is contained a bulb-energizing storage battery, whereby to provide a signal lamp having an extended operating life for each period of use thereof, together with freedom in obtaining desired placement of the lamp in selected and :most advantageous working positions with respect to an associated parked motor vehicle.
Another important object of the present invention is to provide, in combination with such a storage batterycontaining signal lamp, an improved means for detachably supporting the lamp upon a motor vehicle when the lamp is not in active use, said supporting means including elements of interfitting plug and socket means which are connected with the generator output circuit of the motor vehicle and formed for electrical engagement with complemental storage battery terminals, whereby when the `lamp is mounted on said support the battery contained therein may be charged to maintain the battery in an effective operative condition following demounting of the lamp from said support. A further object is to provide a road-placed signal lamp for motor vehicles which embodies an elongated, batterycontaining casing adapted for upright placement on a road or highway surface, and wherein the bottom of the casing is weighted and formed to possess a rounded, semispherical formation and by which the casing, when tilted to one side or the other, turns on its Weighted and rounded bottom portion, so that when forces tending to tilt the same are removed, the casing will assume automatically its normal upright position.
Still a further object is to provide a signal lamp of this character having a battery energized light bulb encased in a transparent dome mounted on the top of the aforesaid casing, which dome includes a suitable reflector system which is arranged so as to concentrate light rays emanating from the bulb and project the same generally horizontally or laterally outwardly from the transparent dome, whereby to produce issuing light beams of a strong, far-reaching character which are capable of being readily seen by approaching motorists and identified as a warning or danger signal.
An additional object is to provide a sturdy, simple, and etlicient signal lamp incorporating structure for attaining the abovesand other objects, and-, wherein the bulbenergizingacircuit thereof is provided: with an automatic thermostaticfswitcnwhich intermittently topenshand ldles 7 Another object is to provide the lamp casing with an internally positioned switch for controlling the opening and closing of the light bulb-energizing circuit, said switch including a spring-pressed operating plunger which normally closes the bulb circuits and projects through the casing to the exterior thereof, whereby when the signal lamp is mounted on its vehicle-carried supporting means, the outer end of the plunger will, through its engagement with the supporting means, hold the switch in a position opening the bulb circuit, so that the bulb will not be energized when the lamp is inactively positioned on the supporting means.
For a further understanding of the invention, reference may now be had to the following detailed description of a presently preferred embodiment of the invention and the accompanying drawing illustrating the same, wherein:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view disclosing a pair of signal lamps formed in accordance with the present invention when mounted in holders provided therefor on a supporting panel of a motor vehicle; Y v
Fig. 2 is a fragmentary perspective view of a portion of said panel and one of said holders with an associated signal lamp removed therefrom;
Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view taken through the lamp and its supporting means, the plane of the figure being indicated by the line 3 3 of Fig. l;
Fig. 4 is a horizontal sectional view through the lamp and its supporting means on the plane indicated by the line 4-4 of Fig. 3;
Fig. 5 is a wiring diagram of the battery-charging and bulb-energizing circuits of the apparatus of the present invention;
Fig. 6 is a diagrammatic view of a light reflector system used in conjunction with the light bulb of my improved lamp.
Referring more particularly to the drawings, the numeral 16 designates a backing panel or plate adapted to be disposed in an accessible location within the cab or other suitable location of a motor vehicle. On the panel there is mounted, in spaced vertical order, a pair of lampholding brackets 11. In this instance, each bracket includes a vertical leg 12 and a shorter, horizontally and outwardly extending leg 13 at the bottom thereof. Also, each vertical leg carries a pair of vertically spaced, horizontally disposed, resilient clamps 14 for positively ernbracing, but removably retaining in an applied supported position on each bracket, a battery-containing signal lamp 15 formed in accordance with the present invention.
Each of these lamps is formed to comprise generally an elongated substantially cubical casing C, having a body section 16 produced by the employment of vertical front, back, and side walls 17, 18, and 19, respectively, the walls terminating at the lower part of the casing in a rounded semispherical bottom 20. The latter is preferably formed with a small, attened, circular base region 21 disposed for base surface engagement and to contact the horizontal leg 13 of an associated bracket when the lamp is retained on said bracket in mounted association with the backing plate or panel 10.
Each casing provides through its wall formation an internal chamber 22 which is closed at the bottom thereof and openable at its top. The bottom of each chamber has stationarily mounted therein a member 23 composed of a suitable body of weighting metal. This weightproviding body functions in conjunction with the rounded bottom of the casing to restore the lamp, when the saine ispositioned on a,.,r oad`or highwaysnrface, to its normal Upright pQSitiQn fallowinstlateralltilting therecfl especially 0 '-Linntheleventathelamngsheuldafar fanrffreason ahr-amatiidemauyrmehedl maman; itstiaetmalavmf indire flat, horizontally disposed, upper surface thereof, is a bulb-energizingwet cell, storage battery 24.
The upper end of each casing is normally closed by a movable top closure 25. Eachlof these closures embodies vertically disposed, front, back, and sidewalls 2,6527, and y28, respectively,which are normally .disposed in vertical alignment with the complementalwa'llsi17, 18, and 19 of the main body section 16 of the easing. Each closure includes `a horizontal bottom Wall 29 of a suitable dielectric material and a top wall30. Y.These walls of each closure Ydefine an internal .compartment 3l.
`Each'top wall 30 carries centrally thereof an upright insulating sleeve 32 lin which ispositioned-'a'socket element 33 VVformed at its upper end'flor the replaceable reception of an Ordinar-yV incandescent light bulb V34. -Also, removably positioned on the top wall 30 is a hollow, semi- Y.spherical dome 35 of glass, synthetic plastic or other transparent material, Thedome preferably is colored to transmit a red-tinted light whenjthe associatedY bulb` 34 therein is energized. Y
In this instance, the lower edge of the back wall-27 of each closure is hinged at v36 to the upper edge portion of the back wall 18 ofthe; body section, so"that the closure .may be raised in providing access, when necessary, to the battery-containing chamber 22 ef the body section.V At the front end thereof the closure carries a resilient catch 37 to hold the closure against casual movement.
Asrshown more particularly in Figs. 44 and 5, the back wall 27 of each closure 25; carries a pair .of spaced socket members 38 and 38awhich, .when the Vlamp employing the same is carried Yby the plated() and an associated bracket 11, will receive, respectively, terminaljjacksor plugs 39 and 40. The plug39 is shown as being mountedin a plate-carried insulating bushing 41, and as illustrated in Fig. 5, the plug 39 is connected by conductorV`v means 42 with a conventional plate-mounted ammeter 4 3 and a voltage regulator V44, the conductor means extending from the regulator 44 to a conventional engine-drivengenerator 45 of a motor vehicle electrical system. Another conductor 46 extends from the socket member; 38 within the closure compartment 31 to a terminal post 47 stationarily mounted inthe bottom wall 29 of each closure, which post, when the closure is shut, has its lower end disposed in electrical contact with a cooperative terminal 48 carried by and projecting upwardly from the Ybattery 24.
Still another conductor 49 extends from the socket member 38 to a bulb-energizing switch 50 carried4 by the back wall 27 of each closure andarranged within the compartment 28. The switch'50 includes a spring-biased plunger 51 which, when a signal lamp is operatively held in connection with its bracket 12, engages, as shown in Fig. 4, the vertical leg 12 of the bracket 11 to hold the switch in a circuit-opening position in which theV bridge 52 on the plunger 51 is held spaced from the contacts 53, so that the bulb 34 will remain deenergized.
From one of the contacts'w 53, `a 'linee-5,4 extends to a bimetallic-type asher switch l55 whichl is positioned ron the upper surface of the bottom wall Y29 of each closure and which, when the operating circuit of the bulb 34 is closed by the operation of the spring-biased switch 550, is alternately opened and closed to produce intermittent energization of the bulb 34 and a dashing signal. The
flasher switch is connected by a line 56 to the bulb socket 33, and another line 57 extends from thebulb socket to the line 58 to the battery 24. The plug 40 is joined with a ground line 40a to complete the battery-charging circuit.
The sleeve 32 is surrounded by a venturi-shaped vshield Yreector 59 which directs light rays emanatingfrom-the bulb 34 in a generally upward direction for Yimpingement uponthe polished surfaces .of a downwardlyrrfacing, concave rellector 60 kpositioned within the upper part of -the dome 35. As shown inrFig. 6, light reilected downwardly `from the reflector 60 strikes the. polished outer .surfaces .of .theshield V59V and is didused .outwardly and laterally 4 through the transparent, light-emitting areas of the dome 35.
From the foregoing, it will be seen that when the lamps occupy their mounted positions on the panel or plate 1.0, the battery 24 of each lamp will be charged and maintained at full capacity by currentobtained froml the generator 45 and controlled by the voltage regulator 44. The charging circuit comprises theV generator 45, source line 42, the plug or jack construction 38 and 39, the line 46, the post 47, and the battery terminal 48. The return `from the charging circuit includes the battery Yterminal 6,2, terminal rod 630i the bottom plate 29, the line 58, the jack or plug construction 38a and 40, and ground Y Aline 40a, the opposite terminal 45a of the generator being likewise grounded at 45b. Thus, while the lampsare A not in use, the same are constantly joined with the generator circuit to assure a fully charged condition at all times in the batteries 24. Y l
When one or both of ,the lamps are removed from Ythe mounting panel 0r plete ^10 for use es e signalling means, the switch 51 thereof, which was held open by the engagement of its plunger 51 with the panel 10 when the Ylamp was plate-mounted, automatically closes Yto com1 Vplete the bulb-energizing circuit. The bulb circuit cornprises the positive terminal 48 of the battery 24, the post 47, conductorA 46, conductor 49, the Yclosed switch 59, conductor 54, flasher switch 55, line5l6, light bulb 34, line V57, and line 58 to the return terminal 62 of ,thd battery Y24. j
The lamps are equipped with handles 64 by which the same may beheld, the handles enabling a u ser to readily Ycarry the lamps whendemounted from the plate or panel 10, so that the lamps may be positioned on a roadwayriu desired positions to provide a self-contained operating unit. The light emitted through the transparent side of the dome 35 provides a clear, dashing, danger signal .capable of being readily discerned by approaching vehicle drivers. Also, due to the rounded and weighted lower end of the lamp casing, the lamp restores itself` toend maintains an upright position if it should be s trucklby a force causing the same to tilt'lto positions angular ,to its normal upright axis.
I claim: Y In combination with a motor vehiclehaving an electrical system including a generatorgra lamp-receivingand supporting bracket stationarily secured to said vehiclejin a position of ready access and including resilient lampelamping 1 means, `aulek .fleteeheble eleetrieel `eeaneeter .means @diesem seid lamp-Clamping means., and .e .veltage regulatorY carried on saidl bracket and electrically eenneetedbetween Seid lastfnemed. eenneefer .means @1151 the generator ef Seid vehicle independently ef the #geel eleetrieel ,system ef ,Such vehiele; anda portablele \.II.1Par,-.1 ranged to be bodily connectedto and disconneetedrlfroni the lamp-clamping means of said bracket, said lamp including a self-contained, chargeable storage batteryhan incandescent light bulb connected lto beV energized by said battery, second electrical connector means electrically connected with said battery and arranged for detachable electrical engagement with the electrical connector .means of said bracket when said lamp is engaged with said lampclamping means, and a normally closed switch element carried by said lamp and connected in series between said battery and said light ybulb andV having an actuating member arranged to open said switch automatically uponA er1- gagement of said lamp with vsaid bracket.

Macintosh computer
A popular model of computer made by Apple Computer. Introduced in 1984, the Macintosh features a graphical user interface (GUI) that utilizes windows, icons, and a mouse to make it relatively easy for novices to use the computer productively. Rather than learning a complex set of commands, you need only point to a selection on a menu and click a mouse button.
Moreover, the GUI is embedded into the operating system. This means that all applications that run on a Macintosh computer have a similar user interface. Once a user has become familiar with one application, he or she can learn new applications relatively easily. The success of the Macintosh GUI heralded a new age of graphics-based applications and operating systems. The Windows interface copies many features from the Mac.
There are many different Macintosh models, with varying degrees of speed and power. All models are available in many different configurations. All models since 1994 are based on the PowerPC microprocessor.

Scottsdale students learn drunk, distracted driving dangers
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- About 150 students at the Thunderbird Adventist Academy got a lesson Tuesday that distracted or drunk driving could have serious consequences.
Senior Jacob Nagrette put on goggles that simulate being drunk and a Scottsdale police officer made him "walk the line," much like he would if had pulled Nagrette over for DUI.
"Everything was really distorted, I couldn't really tell where I was walking," said Nagette. "Like, to me, it seemed like I was doing good, but to everyone else, it seemed like I was just swerving all around the lines."
The students also got behind the wheel of a simulator and tried to drive while texting or making a phone call. Some of them drove so bad that, if it were real life, they would have had an accident and either ended up in the hospital or in jail.
The Eastern Association for Surgery of Trauma sponsored the event.
"Distractions are responsible for over 400,000 crashes per year and many deaths," said Dr. A. Britton Christmas, a spokesman for the group. "If we can get the message out and prevent these injuries, that's really the take home message."
Christmas said it is very important to get this message out in Arizona.
"Because Arizona is one of only 11 states that does not have primary laws against texting and driving, we really see this as an opportunity to come in and get in touch with the students and the community. The reality is that if we're able to save one life here today, then we've more than done our job."
Many of the students said they will remember this day when they get behind the wheel.

How deep?
Most articles I read about square foot gardening involve building a raised bed over the soil in your yard. However, the neighborhood I live in does not allow for in-ground crops to be grown and they include raised beds without a bottom as being in-ground. So I am forced to add bottoms to my boxes. So far the planter boxes I am building are about 36" long, 24" wide and 15" deep. These have worked well enough for carrots, snap peas and a raspberry bush (though the raspberry bush quickly took over and out-grew its box. I had bigger boxes, but, as I have a bad back, they weren't very easy to move. Even these smaller ones tend to be fairly uncomfortable to move with my wife's help (I'm thinking of adding casters). But I have been curious as to just what depth I could get away with for most vegetables?
Thank you in advance for your input.
Really, it depends on what you are planting. Some have a somewhat long taproot so it would require a deeper box. Others have roots that spread out like a tree, so not so deep. My boxes are about 6in deep and I've had success with tomatoes, watermelons, lemon basil, and all kinds of peppers. When I pulled all of these after last year's summer heat here in Texas fried them, all of the roots were still running pretty shallow, even though I did not have bottoms on my boxes.
Aside from that, like you, I have a bad back (had surgery to repair a herniated disc), so I have to be careful. My sfg boxes are on the ground, but I have no restrictions. But this brought to mind an article I saw sometime recently about how a community turned an old apartment trash compactor area (cinder brick wall enclosed) into a community sf garden, with multiple waist-high boxes. The thing was that is had to be ADA compliant (wheel chair accessible). While I cannot find the article now, I did find something online that has some ideas for helping gardeners with back problems and I think I might build some of these over the winter. Please see the link below.

I found Working Person's Store just in the last few months. I have a couple clients with needs, and WPS has been able to fulfill the orders. I love the store. Recently I had orders which surpassed your in-stock quantities. There was some back orders and orders placed on the phone. It got a little confusing. I placed a couple calls over the past week trying to resolve the invoicing and billing as it was not matching up. Sherri was a tremendous help for me. She promised to get back to me. And she did. Within the hour, she got back to me with the invoices I needed, and the resolution to the billing. And, as suspected, there was a discrepancy. Sherri found it and proactively emailed me with the news. Sherri exemplifies great customer support, a can-do attitude and the willingness to take care of the issue now. A special thanks to Sherri."

In the early 1990s, Andy Najar's father was living in a small town near Santa Cruz. After a short professional-soccer career, he'd become a well-known player on the amateur circuit. When the Santa Cruz players learned of him, they invited him to the village to beef up their roster for an upcoming match. After the game, Andy's father approached the house closest to the field, where he asked a young woman for a glass of water. The two began a courtship and married soon after. Andy was born in the family's dirt-floor house in 1993. Within four years, he had two brothers.
Like many villagers, Andy's father worked at the nearby sugar factory. The $6 a day he earned was barely enough to live on, and the work ended when the harvest was over.
Andy spent much of his childhood on the soccer field studying his father's dribbling techniques, practicing shooting with his brothers, and playing pickup games with friends. When the rainy season flooded the field, he took the ball to the dry patches. Even back then, some villagers saw a spark. "You are going to feed your family with your feet," Ismael Reyes, a family friend, told Andy.
Andy's house was adjacent to his grandmother's and his uncle's. A towering mango tree tossed shade onto the interior courtyard, where the family shared meals of beans and rice with fish, chicken, or beef. They scraped by. When Andy's father's wages fell short, his mother sold tortillas. "We were poor, but we were together," says Rafael Rodriguez, Andy's uncle.
When Andy was five, a storm ripped through Santa Cruz, submerging the village in chest-high water. Hurricane Mitch, as it came to be known, maintained Category 5 intensity for 33 hours. Wind gusts exceeded 200 miles an hour. Along with his parents and brothers, Andy fled to higher ground at the sugar-cane factory and stayed there several days. "We didn't have anything to eat," Andy recalls. His grandmother and uncle were stranded on the roof of a car.
Hurricane Mitch was the deadliest storm to hit the Atlantic coast in 200 years, leaving more than 17,000 Hondurans dead or missing, a fifth of the population homeless, and 70 percent of the crops destroyed. When it was finally safe to return to Santa Cruz, the family found the village in ruins. Both Andy's and his uncle's homes were leveled. Because only Andy's grandmother's house—which was made of concrete—remained standing, the family crammed in with her. A nongovernmental organization later agreed to finance the reconstruction of Andy's house as long as the family provided the labor.
Andy's parents could feed and shelter their children, but Santa Cruz offered little hope for advancement. For a better life, villagers headed north. From 2000 to 2009, the Honduran-born population in the United States grew by 65 percent, to 468,000. The cash these emigrants send home is a vital source of income for many families. In 2009, Hondurans living abroad remitted $3 billion to their native land—20 percent of the country's economy.
Emigration was nothing new to Andy's family; his grandmother had left El Salvador for Honduras in the 1950s to find work. Andy's mother left for the United States in 2002 and settled with family in Dallas. She landed a job at a car wash and began sending money home. Eventually she earned enough to bring her husband to the States. They moved to Northern Virginia to be close to other family members. Andy's father worked in construction; his mother cleaned houses.
With their parents away, Andy and his brothers were under the care of their grandmother. Andy made sure his brothers stayed out of trouble and took them to the soccer field. "It was always those three with the ball," Andy's uncle says. Although he occasionally fought with his brothers, Andy was a respectful child who listened to his grandmother—and that may have saved his life.
The sugar harvest had always been an exciting time for children in Santa Cruz. When workers set the fields ablaze to separate the weeds from the crops, all sorts of critters—rabbits, raccoons, rats—scurried out. The animals raced onto the paved road in front of Santa Cruz, where village children lay in wait to catch them.
In November 2004, the kids headed over to the road to get in position. Andy, then 11, wanted to join them, but his grandmother told him to stay home.
As the children got in place, a freak wind picked up the fire from the sugar fields. In a flash of panic, at least 14 villagers ages 5 to 17—including several of Andy's cousins—burned and suffocated. In the following days, photos of their charred remains appeared in newspapers across the country. "It is a neighborhood of tragedy," Ricardo Maduro, then the president of Honduras, told La Tribuna newspaper.
For months, players refused to retrieve soccer balls that landed near the site of the tragedy. They believed the sugar fields were haunted.
As Andy grew older, his uncle, a former professional soccer player, noticed that the boy could run at blinding speed while maintaining control of the ball. "He was like a bullet," his uncle says.
After sixth grade—the final year of compulsory education in Honduras—Andy took a job at a drinking-water company near his house. He went to church on Sundays and played soccer whenever he could. At 13, he joined a Santa Cruz team that competed against clubs from nearby villages; some of his opponents were in their twenties. His elusiveness enraged the older players, and the men went after him with elbows. "It didn't matter how hard they hit him," says Andy's former coach. "He never got scared."
Despite Andy's ability, a professional career seemed unlikely. Honduran national-team officials were focused on finding bigger players to match up with teams in the United States and Canada. Andy tried out for Honduras's best-known professional team but was turned away.

Sounds like they've having a spot of trouble with the "50 Shades of Grey" movie.
Firstly, Charlie Hunnam has dropped out. The "Pacific Rim" star said he's just too busy with his series "Sons of Anarchy" to invest himself in a session of bondage and whatnot with a pretty girl.
Now, THR says the film's script is headed back to the typewriters (or maybe the script had noticeable issues earlier, and that's why Hunnam left?) with Patrick Marber ("Notes on a Scandal") giving it a polish.
Meantime, Universal/Focus are still looking for a new Christian Grey, after Hunnam's sudden departure. Fan-favourite Matt Bomer strangely hasn't been mentioned as being in contention, the trades only listing
Alexander Skarsgard ("True Blood") and Jamie Dornan ("The Fall") as possible fill-ins. The studio also is revisiting its initial list of possible contenders, including Theo James and Christian Cooke.
The movie is due to start filming next month.

Maybin homers as Padres down White Sox
Padres OF hadn't homered since June 9, 2013, when knee injury sent him to DL; he never returned
CHICAGO Two months into the season, Cameron Maybin walked into U.S. Cellular Field still looking for his first RBI. A heckuva lot longer had passed since the Padres' center fielder had circled the bases.
Both droughts ended Friday night with one swing of the bat.
"I still feel that I have a long ways to go," Maybin said after his third-inning homer got the Padres started on a 4-1 win over White Sox. "I'm trying to go out there every day and put together good at-bats, man. I figure if I continue to swing the bat well, the RBIs and stuff, those things will start to come. My biggest thing is trying to hit line drives and keep trying to make the pitchers work.
"I think that I've done a good job of that since I've been back. I just have to keep it going."
Maybin made his own pitcher work a little harder, too, when he lost track of the outs an inning after his first home run since June 9, 2013.
But Ian Kennedy didn't let a mental lapse – which set up Chicago's first run of the game – throw him off his game too long, the Padres got it back a half inning later and Yonder Alonso gave the pitching staff a cushion with a two-run homer in the eighth, his fourth in his last 15 games.
That effort, of course, started with six strong innings from Kennedy (4-6), who struck out nine batters and allowed one run on four hits and three walks.
"Ian's fastball I thought was the key tonight," Padres manager Bud Black said. "The fastball right from the get-go had life in the hitting area and I thought he commanded it for the most part pretty well. … He made some pitches when he needed to. I thought he threw a good game. He set the tone."
Home runs that Yonder Alonso has hit in his last 15 games.
Just as Maybin did with a 407-foot homer to left, his first since June 9, 2013 – when he walked off the field with a knee injury in Colorado. Chronic wrist issues ultimately ended that season and a biceps injury this spring delayed the start of his 2014 campaign until the end of April.
"I don't really count how long it's been, Maybin said, "but whenever you can put a run across the board early it helps."
It also helped Kennedy overlook the fourth-inning mental lapse that led to the only run he allowed. Not that Kennedy's wildly-effective pitching didn't play a part in a long inning.
With runners on first and second, Maybin tracked a ball off Alexi Ramirez's bat, gathered it into his glove and dropped his head to jog toward the Padres' dugout.
One problem. That was the second – not third – out of the frame.
Conor Gillaspie knew this. So he darted from second to third before Maybin realized his mistake and eventually scored on a wild pitch, tying the game at 1.
