The benchmark index Nifty surged close to 1% on back of short covering despite weak global cues. Asian shares fell on Thursday, as a weak Chinese trade data stoked fears of a growth slowdown, further undermining risk appetites already reduced by worries about the health of Spanish banks and deepening political chaos in Greece. RBI steps in To curb the slide in the rupee, the Reserve Bank of India has asked exporters to convert 50% of their dollars held in Exchange Earner's Foreign Currency (EEFC) accounts into rupee. The central bank has also ruled that exporters can henceforth access the forex market for buying dollars only after they have utilized the balance in their EEFC accounts. The Sensex was up 156.88 points or 0.95% at 16636.46, and the Nifty was up 52.35 points or 1.05% at 5027.15. About 1434 shares advanced, 865 shares declined, and 1122 shares remain unchanged. Sectoral Check Metal shares shine in trade after recent fall, with private sector aluminium major Hindalco Industries gaining for third straight session on strong Q4 sequential growth. ArcelorMittal, the world's largest steelmaker, reaffirmed its earnings guidance for the first half of the year at the time of unveiling Q1 March 2012 results today. Capital goods stocks were in limelight on bargain hunting after recent slide. Auto stocks were on buyers radar after recent losses triggered by most auto companies reporting tepid sales growth for April 2012. Earnings Corner Power generation major NTPC rose ahead of its FY 2012 results today. Pharma major Cipla too advanced ahead of its Q4 results. In the largecap space, heavyweights like IDFC, Cairn India, BHEL, Axis Bank and Kotak Mahindra were trading in green. Ranbaxy Labs, Maruti Suzuki, PNB, Infosys and Asian Paints were bleeding in red. News across the globe China's exports grew 4.9% in April from a year earlier, data showed on Thursday, weaker than a 8.5% increase forecast and down from March's rise of 8.9%. Annual growth of 0.3% in imports last month also missed expectations for an 11% increase. "Chinese trade data for April came in surprisingly weak, with both export and import growth disappointing ...indicating weakening external demand and suggesting that strengthening of the yuan in the past few years has undermined China's competitiveness," said Dariusz Kowalczyk, senior economist and strategist at Credit Agricole CIB in Hong Kong. The Australian dollar initially strengthened on strong jobs data, which scaled back expectations for further aggressive monetary easing. But with the currency sensitive to data from China, the biggest export market, the gains were pared by Beijing's fresh trade numbers. The Aussie last stood up 0.4% at $1.0079, slipping from an earlier high of $1.0120. On Wednesday, it touched $1.0021, its lowest since December 20. Australian employment far outpaced expectations by adding 15,500 in April while the unemployment rate surprisingly dipped to 4.9%. Crude slips further Oil fell as weak Chinese trade data fuelled concerns about demand, sending US crude down 0.4% at $96.38 a barrel and Brent down 0.5% at $112.66 a barrel. Europe vaccum feared Global shares slid for a sixth day while safe-haven US and German government debt rose on Wednesday on fears a political vacuum in Greece could put the highly indebted country on course for insolvency and exiting from the euro. The euro turned around also from an earlier weakness, rising 0.1% at $1.2940. But it hovered near $1.29115 hit on Wednesday, its lowest since January 23, indicating markets remain wary over developments in the euro zone, which have fallen short of convincing investors to be risk-positive.

The Boat That Rocked is a 2009 British-American ensemble comedy film, released in the United Kingdom on 1 April 2009. After the film's commercial and critical failure in the UK,[3] it was re-edited[4] and retitled Pirate Radio for release in the United States and Canada on 13 November 2009 - but was still commercially unsuccessful in its new guise.[5] Set in 1966, it tells a story about a fictitious pirate radio station broadcasting from a ship to the United Kingdom. The film was written and directed by Richard Curtis and made by Working Title Films for Universal Pictures.
Contents |
Carl (Tom Sturridge) arrives on the pirate radio ship, Radio Rock, after being sent to stay with the ship's Captain, his godfather, Quentin (Bill Nighy), to hopefully set his life on a different track after being expelled from school. Here he meets Radio Rock's crew of ramshackle disc jockeys, led by The Count (Philip Seymour Hoffman), a buoyant rock-loving American, along with the suave and bawdy Dave (Nick Frost) and the naive but good hearted Simon (Chris O'Dowd). Also filling the airwaves is self proclaimed New Zealand "nut," Angus (Rhys Darby), the mysterious Midnight Mark (Tom Wisdom) and the even more mysterious, reclusive and downright disillusioned late-night DJ Smooth Bob (Ralph Brown). Serving as the ship's crew are the shy lesbian cook Felicity (Katherine Parkinson) and radio assistants, Harold (Ike Hamilton) and Carl's bunkmate, the appropriately nicknamed Thick Kevin (Tom Brooke).
Dave wastes no time in introducing Carl to women, only for both of Carl's attempts to be foiled by Dave himself, including Carl's first crush, Quentin's niece, Marianne (Talulah Riley), although she would return to the ship to make up with Carl and make love to him and him alone. Simon also is unlucky in love, meeting and marrying the too-good-to-be-true Elenore (January Jones) only to find her affections are really placed with the returning "king of the airwaves", Gavin (Rhys Ifans). The Count objects to Gavin's antics with Elenore, leading to a clash of egos that ends in a truce after both suffer physical injuries jumping from the top of the ship's radio mast in a contest of courage.
Kevin, in an unusually insightful moment, points out to Carl that Radio Rock is clearly no place to be sent to clean up his act and suggests that the real reason Carl's mother sent him there is that his father, who he has never met, is among the crew, nominating Quentin as the most likely suspect. When his mother Charlotte (Emma Thompson) visits for Christmas, Carl asks her about Quentin, only for her to deny it. As she leaves the boat, Carl passes on a cryptic message from Smooth Bob ("Muddy Waters rocks"), which leads to the unexpected revelation that Bob, not Quentin, is Carl's father, something that throws both father and son.
Radio Rock's controversial on-air antics have ruffled the feathers of a government minister, Dormandy, (Kenneth Branagh), who instructs his subordinate Twatt (Jack Davenport) to find a way to take down pirate radio, despite its popularity among the pop hungry masses. After a couple of attempts to deprive the station of advertising funding backfire, Twatt encounters a news story of a fishing boat whose call for help failed to get through because of Radio Rock's powerful signal swamping the frequency and realises that this can be used to ban pirate radio for good. He proposes the creation of the Marine Offences Act, which passes through Parliament without any shown opposition.
With the Act due to come into force, the crew of Radio Rock choose to defy the act, for various different personal reasons, and continue to broadcast. Twatt leads a group of boats out into the North Sea to board the pirate ship and arrest the crew, only to find a fishing vessel anchored there instead. Quentin has given the order to fire up the ship's aging engines and move their position. Unfortunately, the strain proved too much for the decrepit boat: the engines backfire severely and the ship begins to sink as the DJs broadcast their position. The crew assemble on the upper deck, Carl rescuing the oblivious Bob from his cabin, leading to an apparent reconciliation between the pair, while the Count vows to continue broadcasting as long as possible. Dormandy forbids Twatt from sending out rescue craft, however, many fans have also heard the broadcast and come to rescue the crew as the ship sinks below the waves, with the Count emerging from the water at the very last second.
The film concludes with captions stating that, despite the end of "the golden age of pirate radio", the dream lives on, with 299 music radio stations across the UK playing rock and pop music 24 hours a day, and that rock and roll has had a good forty years, ending with a montage of successful music albums covering the entire forty year period.

The film was written and directed by Richard Curtis and made by Working Title Films for Universal Studios.[6] The producers for Working Title were Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner and Hilary Bevan Jones, with Curtis, Debra Hayward and Liza Chasin acting as executive producers.[7] Principal photography started on 3 March and continued until June 2008.[6] Filming took place on the former Dutch hospital ship Timor Challenger, previously De Hoop, moored in Portland Harbour, Dorset; the "North Sea" scenes were shot off Portland Bill, while boat interior shots were filmed inside a warehouse in Osprey Quay on the Isle of Portland[8][9] and at Shepperton Studios.[10] Some of the authentic 1960s-vintage studio equipment seen in the film was ex-Radio Caroline, having been used on the MV Ross Revenge in the 1980s and loaned to the film's production company by the ship's current owners, along with numerous fixtures and fittings that were used for set decoration. (The ship used for exterior filming was also fitted with a dummy twin-mast aerial resembling the Ross Revenge's post-1988 antenna system, although all of the real pirate radio ships of the 1960s used single-mast antennas.)[citation needed]
On 28 April 2008, scenes were shot on Roupell Street in Waterloo, London, with the Kings Arms re-named the Red Lion for filming purposes.[citation needed]
The film's production cost exceeded £30 million.[11]
Cutting room floor
With an initial running time coming in around three hours, many scenes were removed as the editing progressed solely for time reasons. These include a sub-plot about a rival pirate broadcaster being sabotaged by the Radio Rock crew (featuring James Corden) and a flashback to Gavin's past explaining his return to the ship. Felicity also has a scene explaining her joining the crew to escape her fiancée and we learn more about Angus's reasons for believing the crew not liking him. All of these scenes have been included on most home video releases as deleted scenes introduced by Richard Curtis.[citation needed]
North American release
Following the film's financial failure at the British box-office, Focus Features commissioned a re-edited version for North American release, retitled Pirate Radio. Curtis deleted approximately twenty minutes of footage from the original UK version to address complaints from several critics that the film's running time was excessive. In the UK, The Boat That Rocked, as it was known in UK, had the misfortune to open against Monsters Vs. Aliens. In the U.S, Pirate Radio, as it was known in the U.S, had the misfortune to open against Roland Emmerich's 2012 as well as Robert Zemeckis' digimation A Christmas Carol.[11][12]
The film has received generally mixed reviews: it holds a 54% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 39 reviews.[13] The Daily Telegraph credited the film with "some magical moments," but called it "muddled" and criticised its length.[14] Time Out was also critical of the length and said the film was "disappointing".[15]
The Hollywood Reporter ran the headline "Rock 'n' roll movie Boat just barely stays afloat," declaring the film too long to sustain interest.[16] Total Film also criticised the film's length and comedic style.[17] Andrew Neil writing in The Observer, remarked that he was disappointed in the "contrived" storyline and the "unnecessarily perverted" history.[18]
Channel 4 reviewed the film more positively, calling it "touching", "heartfelt" and an "enjoyable journey", but ultimately questioned its coherence.[19]
The film's British box office revenues in its first 12 weeks of release were £6.1 million, less than a quarter of its production cost.[11]
The film was released in the United States with a different title and a radically-different marketing angle. However the film earned less than $3 million in its first weekend (in a large-scale release of 882 screens) and suffered a stiff 49.7% drop-off on its second weekend - earning only $1.46 million.[20]
The Boat That Rocked is a fictitious comedy set in Britain during 1966 in an era when the BBC, the only licensed radio broadcaster on the UK mainland was restricted by union agreements to playing a very limited amount of recorded music each week. In the story a pirate station called Radio Rock began broadcasting pop music twenty-four hours a day from a boat anchored off the coast of England in international waters. Hosted by a colourful band of disc-jockeys, it soon gains an audience of millions and angers the government in the process. While the story has a tangential relationship to real events it does not represent any specific pirate station that was broadcasting to Britain in 1966.
Factual background to the story
The official synopsis of the film before release stated that it tells the fictional story about a group of DJs in 1966 who are at odds with a traditionalist British government that prefers to broadcast jazz.[21] However this was not the factual background, and the film itself contained no reference to the BBC's policy on jazz. Instead it compares the restricted non-recorded music output of the British Broadcasting Corporation's three radio services of 1966, with the very liberal music output of a pirate station. But it is all about contemporary pop music being heard. It should be noted that when offshore broadcasting began off England in 1964, the musical output and style of presentation of the first station (Radio Caroline), was very similar to the BBC Light Programme. That station broadcast mainly during the daytime at first and while the BBC relied heavily on its own studio recordings of orchestras and dance bands, Radio Caroline played a wide variety of recorded music interspersed with commercial advertising. The situation in Britain changed when Don Pierson of Texas created three offshore stations whose output was based upon American commercial radio. During the entire period from 1964 to 1967, British commercial radio attempted to maintain a highly respectable business image and the stations continued to play a wide variety of music (unlike the fictitious 'Radio Rock'.)
In the film a nod is given to a character - Smooth Bob (Ralph Brown) - who might be seen as the late John Peel on Wonderful Radio London. Another is to Caroline and (later) Radio One DJ Emperor Rosko in the form of Seymour Hoffman's The Count. Chris O'Dowd plays a DJ called Simon, the fictitious station's breakfast DJ. "The breakfast jock on Radio Caroline at the time was Tony Blackburn, so there's definitely an element of him in it," says O'Dowd of his character.[22] "And then I called in different Irish DJs that would have been contemporaries of Tony Blackburn at the time, a guy called Larry Gogan and a couple of other people."[22]
The film uses a ship that is similar to the last vessel used by Radio Caroline from 1983 to 1990.
As Richard Curtis explained on the Dave Cash show on BBC Radio Kent on 28 March 2009, this film is not intended to be a depiction of the real story of offshore broadcasting to the United Kingdom as it took place in 1966. Curtis told the audience that someone should make such a film but that his film is for entertainment purposes only.[23]
On the same show Cash interviewed Labour politician Tony Benn, who was the Postmaster General primarily responsible for the enactment of the Marine Offences Act that was responsible for the closure of the off-shore stations. Cash cited Professor Gilder's work (see References below) regarding Garner Ted Armstrong, and he asked Benn about the alleged links to a hidden American political agenda in financing the offshore stations. Benn denied knowledge but did not dismiss the possibility. Contrary to the free-wheeling style of the DJs on board the fictitious 'Radio Rock', Kenny Everett - one of the most zany DJs on Wonderful Radio London - had his employment terminated because he repeatedly made fun of the Armstrong broadcasts.
Radio 390 broadcast to an older audience in 1966 using a style of broadcasting that the BBC had previously used in the 1950s and then abandoned. All of the stations hoped to gain a license to come on land and therefore they all attempted to comply with all normal business regulations and society norms. In the end the BBC hired most of the out of work pirate radio DJs of the real era and Philip Birch who was Managing Director of Wonderful Radio London and its London sales office Radlon Sales, became the founding managing director of Piccadilly Radio one of Britain's most successful legal commercial stations.
European offshore commercial broadcasting had a long history before its advent off the UK. It began in the 1950s with a Danish station called Radio Mercur followed by stations off Sweden, and Belgium, and radio stations and a television station off the Netherlands. Other stations have also appeared off Israel, New Zealand and the United States of America. The inspiration for offshore broadcasting stations of the 1950s is linked to the Voice of America radio ship 'Courier' anchored off the Isle of Rhodes.
The marketing campaign for the US release that purported to be historically accurate was actually predicated on a scenario inconsistent with historical fact. The trailers and TV commercials featured a narrator stating: "...in 1966 the British government banned rock 'n' roll on the radio. Until one American DJ and a band of renegades launched a radio station on the high seas and raided the air waves."[24] The trailer showed a British government minister being told that the American deejay is "possibly the most famous broadcaster ever". The trailer and commercials also displayed prominent text that stated: "inspired by a true story". While some might interpret from this that the film was based on actual events and set against a genuine historical background, assertions in its trailers and TV commercials differed from known history:[25]
The neutrality of this section is disputed. Please see the discussion on the talk page. Please do not remove this message until the dispute is resolved. (January 2010) |
- The British government did not "ban rock 'n' roll on the radio"; it introduced a law to prohibit broadcasting from offshore transmitters operating without a licence.[26][27][28]
- Popular music in that era in Britain was primarily known as "pop music" and not as "rock 'n' roll".[29][30][31][32]
- The character upon whom the American DJ in the film was loosely based (Emperor Rosko)[33][34][35] was a comparative unknown, who prior to being featured on a British pirate radio station in 1966, had been heard only on a US Navy station and on sponsored radio shows in France and Belgium [36][37]
- Emperor Rosko was one of several popular deejays – not of pre-eminent popularity.[29] In the film itself, the ministerial aide is in fact referring to a different character entirely.
- The pirate radio stations that irritated the British government were not launched in 1966 in retaliation for any "banning" of popular music on British radio. The pirate radio stations were launched from 1964 onwards as entrepreneurial endeavours to make money;[29] and the Marine Broadcasting Offences Act that was introduced in 1966 and became law in 1967 was a reaction to the pirate stations – not the other way round.[38]
- The soundtrack features songs from The Turtles, Jimi Hendrix, Duffy, The Kinks, Box Tops, The Beach Boys, Dusty Springfield - and features almost entirely well known sixties hits, despite the fact Pirate Radio was best known for giving steady airplay to lesser known acts.
- The soundtrack features 32 songs on two discs. The film itself has a 60-song playlist.[39]
- A number of songs on the soundtrack, almost all of which are shown as being records played on the station itself, were actually released after the film's conclusion in January 1967, including The Jimi Hendrix Experience's "The Wind Cries Mary" (May 1967), Procol Harum's "A Whiter Shade of Pale" (June 1967), The Who's "I Can See For Miles" (October 1967), John Fred and his Playboy Band's "Judy In Disguise (With Glasses)" (January 1968), Herb Alpert's "This Guy's in Love with You" (April 1968), Tommy James and the Shondells' "Crimson and Clover" (November 1968) and the Turtles' "Elenore" (November 1968) among several others.

In real life Benn was born into an established religious, political and publishing family in England and married an American citizen. Although Benn did not follow up on repeated questions put to him by Dave Cash regarding the Armstrong broadcasts of 1966 attacking a United States of Europe, his biography on pages 31/32 reflects that this was a frequent topic of the Debating Society that he participated in while he was a young man at Westminster Public School. However, these broadcasts were the main source of income for the stations and one of the main reasons why Tony Benn was instrumental in administering a law that eventually terminated these programs and in so doing starved the offshore stations of revenue.

Readers' Poll choices are head-scratchers
Best of Denver 2014 Readers' Poll
Regarding the finalists for Best Central American Restaurant — Cafe Brazil, Cuba Cuba, Lola, Rincon Argentino and Cuba Cuba Sandwicheria:
Perhaps it is a gross oversight, but according to even just the United Nations' list of recognized nations, neither Brazil nor Cuba nor Argentina are considered to be Central American countries. These are generally considered to be SOUTH American countries. No restaurants of Central American focus are in this list at all. For reference, please see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_America.
Strangely enough, the writers of the poll saw fit to make a distinction among European regions with the Best German/Eastern European sub-category, listing a couple of German and Czech restaurants each.
Is it possible that this category might have been mistakenly labeled as "Central American"? One would believe so, but then the category also lists a "Best South American Restaurant" sub-category, the nominees of which are of Brazilian, Peruvian and Argentinian focus.
Until recently, I was Denver's first and only elected official of Central American extraction, being the first person in my family born in the United States. I bear a particular pride in both my Hispanic-ness and my Central American-ness. While I understand how difficult it could be for your average geography-challenged American to not understand the difference, I cannot excuse a Denver weekly publication, and to not make a proper geographical distinction only communicates that privilege has caused your staff to take leave of their geographical senses. It reads that your staff simply cannot be bothered to care because it doesn't affect them either way.
We Latinos fight hard for recognition and respect in this country. Is it too much to ask to insist that, if Eastern Europeans can be differentiated, Westword take the pains to understand that Ibero-America is not only Mexico or Argentina (in this case)?
The way to make this right is to change the heading of the category or merge the two categories. Perhaps the "Central American" can be renamed "Latin American."
Please let me know how this will be rectified.
Andrea Merida
Patricia Calhoun responds: On March 27, our thirtieth-anniversary edition of the Best of Denver will hit the streets. As always, the issue will include hundreds of categories with winners chosen by our editorial team; a fraction of those categories will also have readers' choice winners, as determined by the Best of Denver Readers' Poll that's been running online for two months. Since we already have our say in picking Westword's winner in these categories, we do not tell our readers who they must pick — even if they pick McDonald's for the Best French Fries. In all cases, the readers — not the editorial team — provided their own nominees when they voted, and while their choices may be geographically impaired in the Central American category, those finalists are their choices. We can assure you that even without consulting Wikipedia, our editorial team will be sure to stick with a Central American restaurant for our winner.
As for next year, we'll consider replacing that category with Best Latin American — but if our readers nominate McDonald's, we won't give them an F.

what I want to be is me But how can I when I'm expected to go through a revolution of change in such a short time I probably won't make it in time. When all I want to be is me in the beginning and in the end. What I want to be is me though I'm pressured to be somebody else. A hero to a nation.

observations of U Gem needed now
Details will be forthcoming in an AAVSO Special Notice, but visual and multicolor observations of U Gem are needed now through at least December 11. HST/COS will be observing U Gem on 2013 December 7, now that the recent outburst is over, and it is essential to have good coverage from AAVSO observers. These HST observations are a continuation of the campaign announced last year in AAVSO Alert Notice 475 and followed up on in AAVSO Special Notices #327 and #328.
Good observing - Elizabeth Waagen, AAVSO HQ
Hi Elizabeth!
I observed and submitted IRVB data for U gem for 06Dec13 for UT times 09:08:47.9 to 11:25:22.9. Hope this helps the research for this interesting dwarf nova!
James Foster-Los Angeles, CA
p.s. I notice I'm not seeing the AASVO moniker next to my name in the plots. Is this because I joined "officially" only 3 weeks ago?
Hope this isn't too hard on the eyes. Here's a colorful little graph I made of the VBRI data I took last night:
Backround image of U Gem is from "Darkly" at Deviant art: http://darky-face.deviantart.com/art/S-Doradus-245309265#/art/U-Geminorum-245310457?_sid=58754c29
I was looking at the LCG of U Gem, and noticed that B and V are quiescent at about 15th mag. U and Ic are brighter at 13th. I am not surprised to see the Ic brighter, but to see both the Ic and the U brighter surprised me. Is this normal for U Gem? Is this normal for this type of star?
If its clear tonight, I might try it, and I do have a U filter.
I wanted to shoot it in the U, but the filter I thought was U was actually a non-standard IR. Nice observation! I think that most of the radiation is coming from Ic (red star?) and U(white dwarf& accetion disk?). Time to buy another $150+ filter! :(
p.s. Just submitted 08Dec13's data, not much else different than 2 days before.
Hi Gary,
Remember that CVs are composite objects, consisting of a white dwarf, an accretion disk, and a donor star. Each has a different temperature, and so the resulting spectrum does not look like any kind of a normal star. If the donor star (which is almost always quite red) is bright, then it will dominate in the Ic band. If the white dwarf is hot and bright, then U-band will be particularly bright. The mid-wavelengths are almost always dominated by the accretion disk, especially during outburst. So what you get depends strongly on the relative contribution of each object.
Now that we are back at quiescence (14.5 mag), I would expect U-band to be about 14th mag, which is very difficult with an amateur telescope. I'd give it a try just to see what happens, and then be ready for the next outburst. Watch out for red leaks - U filters are known for this. The Astrodon U filter is blocked to 1.1 micron and so should be ok. One good way to test for a red leak is to image S Ori, a very red but bright star. It should be fainter than the B-band measurement; if brighter, then you have a leak.
Hi James,
Thank you so much for your multicolor observations of U Gem during the current campaign - and for joining the AAVSO! We very much appreciate your observations and your support. I apologize for not answering you sooner - I was away from my email from the 5th until last night. In order for the Light Curve Generator to indicate your affiliation with the AAVSO, you need to specifiy it in your profile. It's very easy to do: log in to the website and click on 'My account' in the upper right corner. When your page comes up, click on 'View My AAVSO Profile' and when your profile appears, click on 'Edit your information'. Go down to the Affiliation line and choose AAVSO from the drop-down menu of organizations. Save your edit (click 'Submit' near the bottom of the screen) and that's it! If you have questions about or difficulties with this, just let us know.
Thank you again, and good observing, Elizabeth
RE:"Watch out for red leaks - U filters are known for this. The Astrodon U filter is blocked to 1.1 micron and so should be ok. "
I'll keep that in mind when getting the photometric U filter...thanks for the great feedback Dr. Arne!
James Foster
Los Angeles, CA
To: Elizabeth,
Thanks for the direction. I'm seeing this on the plotted charts now:
Hope to make my 30,000 CCD photometric measurement by the end of 2013!

Bay Flora
Methods PHYCOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA |
Dinoflagellate Habitat, Ecology, and BehaviorHabitatDinoflagellates live in the top 200 feet of the ocean. They like the sunlight, and they live with a lot of other plankton: other phytoplankton like the diatoms, and a lot of zooplankton. This is a copepod. They tend to be about a quarter to a half of a millimeter
in length, and they love to eat phytoplankton. Dinoflagellates are eaten
more by copepods than by any other organism. But dinoflagellates are also
eaten by corals, anemone, tunicates, mussels, clams, and even whales! This is another phytoplankton. Do you know what it is? It has no tail for swimming, so it tends to sink. They are much more abundant than dinoflagellates in the Monterey Bay. The same things that eat dinoflagellates also may eat these guys. BehaviorDinoflagellates usually photosynthesize their food, but some can eat very small organisms and even other dinoflagellates! Some are symbiotic. That means they live in harmony with other organisms, like corals and anemones. In fact, the green anemone found commonly around the Monterey Bay would be white without their dinoflagellate symbionts! And corals die without dinoflagellates to photosynthesize for them. In return, dinoflagellates get shelter and protection from the organisms they feed. | |

In order to find out when to plant vegetables, you need to understand vegetable gardening. This article gets into details for many regions (zones) and walks you through the process of planning your vegetable garden, understanding gardening season, and provides tips on vegetable gardening overall with a focus on when to plant vegetables. please scroll down:
When To Plant Vegetables - Gardening for your Region
Do you dream of fresh mouth-watering produce but don't know where to get started? Have you thought that someday you would like to plant a vegetable garden but haven't decided when or where to start? Do you like the idea of vegetable shopping in your backyard? Would you prefer a healthier lifestyle and are concerned with freshness or pesticide use?
This article will tempt you and empower you to growing your own vegetable garden by discussing the following:
Where do I start? Know Your Zone and Frost Dates Plot out your garden Planning your Garden When to Plant a Vegetable Garden? Plant in fall Seed indoors Sow directly Purchase plants Harden off Planting tips and strategies Planting companions Protecting your plants from frost Crop Rotation
Plan to Succeed
Where do I start?
Start with deciding you are actually going to plant your garden this year. It is simpler than you think. Plan a small garden as you can always expand next year. Recruit a friend, your children or spouse to help you and make it a group effort. Choose vegetables that you love to eat.
Know Your Zone and Frost Dates
Locate your plant hardiness zone. Most vegetables and herbs are annuals with a few exceptions. The zone and dates will help you plan for plant selection as well as time lines for planting and harvest. It is easy to locate this information on the internet or by person.
You can do a search specifically for plant hardiness zone, or go to The United States National Arboretum website at www.usna.usda.gov, which includes Canada, Mexico and the US. Simply click on your region or on the state abbreviation. Zones are color-coded and numbered from 1 to 11 in the US, with 1 being the coldest region, 11 the warmest. The legend indicates the average annual minimal temperature range for each region. Knowing your zone can impact on seed selection and perennial vegetable plants.
For more detailed Canadian information, visit www.atlas.nrcan.gc.ca. The charts for Canada similarly range from 0 to 8.
For frost dates, you will need both the spring (last frost) and fall (first frost) dates. These vary by zone, region and sometimes year to year. They are based on historical data. Changing weather patterns can alter these dates. Generally, plant outdoors after the spring frost date in your area, and try to cultivate before the fall frost date. Seeds may be planted before the spring dates, however they should not have germinated above ground during a frost. This may kill a plant which is susceptible to frost.
The farmer's almanac which has been around for more than a century also has helpful weather-related predictions both short and long term for the upcoming year and is available online at www.farmersalmanac.com or in book format. It is good to glance at occasionally for planning and interest.
In person, it is easy to ask a gardening neighbor or buddy, or ask at your local gardening center. They have an idea of what zone and what are typical frost dates for your area. This will help you with your planning.
Zone - Spring frost range (Last of season), Fall frost range (First of season)
May 1-31
Aug 1-31
Sept 1-30
Jan 30-Feb28
Jan 30 or before
No frost
Plot out your garden
Choose a sunny level location for your garden with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight, whether it be a traditional plot of land, raised beds or container gardening. If possible, prepare your soil in the fall by adding compost or nutrients, ready for spring planting.
Measure your garden space and prepare a grid on paper as this space will determine the amount of plants. Be sure to take into consideration the traditional spacing of plants, usually found on your seed packet. The height and width of the plants is also important. Plan to have taller plants in the northern areas to avoid the blocking of sunlight on the southern side of your garden. Garden rows should run East / West, to allow as many plants as possible direct contact with the southern sun. Draw your garden on paper, using your list of desired plants. This will help you determine the amount of seed or seedlings to buy. Make notes of anticipated planting times to help keep you organized for planting and harvesting. Keep your notes year to year, to help you remember planting times and locations to help with plant rotation.
Planning your Garden
Obtain or make a year at a glance calendar January to December, with space for 52 vertical weeks per year. Mark the typical frost line for spring and fall. What is in between shows your outdoor growing season. List your selected plants in the left hand column, and mark off in weeks the amount of growing time needed, starting form the fall frost line and moving backwards. Make sure your plants are finished growing and vegetables are ready for harvest before the fall frost line. This may mean more than one harvest as in the case of lettuce that has a short growing season. It may mean purchasing live plants or starting seedlings indoors where the estimated time to plant maturity exceeds the growing season ex. Celery, tomatoes and watermelon in this example.
When to Plant Vegetables / When to Plant a Vegetable Garden?
Seeds are available almost everywhere from your grocery and hardware stores, to gardening centers and seed distribution centres. They can be ordered over the internet directly with seed companies. For the greatest variety and special criteria ex. Organic or locally grown, consult a garden centre or the internet to meet your needs. Why not try exciting new varieties that differ from your usual grocery store fare such as purple radishes or string beans, heirloom tomatoes or cayenne peppers. Also, consider planting some herb varieties to tempt your palate.
Some plants will need to be started indoors or to have seedlings purchased at a greenhouse. Some plants such as lettuce and corn are best sown every 2 weeks to ensure a steady supply.
These general guidelines can be adapted to your specific area, based on your vegetables of choice and your frost dates. These are for direct seed sowing in the soil. Other vegetables can be grown by starting seeds indoors to prolong the growing season.

Sept *Nov
Plant in fall
Cool weather plants are best grown in spring and fall, thus planted late just before the final frost or early in spring. If your zone permits, you may plant a second crop by planting early in the fall to have a second harvest. These vegetables include lettuce, peas spinach and radishes by seed. Onions are best planted by bulb, and can also be planted before the final frost.
Seed indoors
Depending on your zone, you may need to plant seeds indoors for some varieties of seed. Simply count backwards from the frost date in your area for the specific variety of seed selected. Ranges for typical seeds are present below. If your days to harvest exceed your growing season, planting seeds indoors is the least expensive option. Ensure you have shallow trays of typical dirt and natural light from a window if south or west facing. An option is to use a grow light that has full-spectrum lighting. This is important because seeds will not prosper without it. Typical plants to start indoors include tomatoes, celery, peppers, watermelon or seeds with a large number of days to harvest. Plants do best with seedlings that have been transplanted from the tray beds to small pots or containers after germination as this is more soil depth for the root development.
Sow directly
Depending on your area, most seeds will be transplanted directly into the soil. Onions and rhubarb should be sown from a bulb and root stock respectively. To keep your lines straight, place a piece of string between two wooded sticks and have a person hold each end for the length of your row. Mark the soil with a hoe a few inches deep.
Purchase plants
Look for healthy dark green firm well-developed plants instead of pale, long lanky ones. The latter have been starved for light and typically do not do well. Avoid flowering plants if possible, as a lot of the plants energy will go into the development of the root system, rather than developing a vegetable at planting time.
Harden off
All seedlings should be hardened off prior to planting. Place plants outside in their containers for a gradually incrementing amount of time over 2 weeks. Typically start off with 2 hours and add an hour or two a day, until the plants have been outside for a full continuous 24 hours. This acclimatises them to the sun's heat, wind, humidity and temperature for your region prior to transplanting.
Planting tips and strategies
Tomatoes – To prevent blossom end rot, place 1 tbsp calcium (powdered milk or ground eggshells) in the freshly dug hole prior to planting your tomato seedling or seed outdoors.
Lettuce – To minimize worm infestations from eating your leaves, sprinkle Epsom salt lightly with your seed as you are planting. Some regions benefit from protective wire to prevent animals from munching on your plants.
Corn, peas, beans, tomatoes are said to be best planted on the eve of a full moon.
Another way to extend the growing season and stagger plant harvest is to use a protective surround such as Kozy Coats or a cold frame around delicate tomato or pepper plants in the spring. This helps keep the temperature surrounding the plant a few degrees warmer, allowing you to plant your seedling earlier and get a head start for the growing season.
Plant climbing vines and plants near tall plants such as corn, as the latter provides a natural place for peas and pumpkin vines to climb as they grow.
Planting companions
These pairings generally help against disease and bug infestations. It can be helpful to plan at least one helpful plant near potential troublesome target plants. Avoid planting target plant near plants that reduce their mutual efficacy.

Protecting your plants from frost
Near the actual dates, you may need to listen to weather forecasts to find out what the overnight temperature will be (Above 32ş F or 0şC). Being aware of the temperature patterns in your area may help you to anticipate a frost. In the South, be aware of Northern air currents that can cool off the night air by 50şF. In the North, be aware of a sudden clearing of wind and a drop in temperature of 40şF in the evening with a clear sky and an absence of dew.
If your plants are in the ground, you may need to protect them by covering them with a tarp or covering that reaches all the way to the ground. The idea is to trap radiating heat form the ground. Mulching, watering them overnight or harvesting early or other alternatives. You can do this once or twice to save your plants and produce from a light frost, but it generally is a sign that the growing season is over and your harvest should be removed as soon as possible. If your plants do not survive a spring frost, they can easily be replaced, either by re-sowing seeds in the ground if you have enough growing time or by purchasing plants at your local greenhouse. Fall frosts can damage your harvest.
Some plants are more frost hardy than others. The very susceptible plants include tomatoes, watermelon, and lettuce. Corn, carrots, potatoes and pumpkin are more frost hardy plants.
Crop Rotation
To minimize disease, bug infestations and soil mineral depletion, it is best to change the location of specific plant types from year to year. This allows the soil to rest and minimizes the return or proliferation of specific insects in your garden. A rotation plan set over 3 years is recommended.
There is no better time to start planning your garden. Roll up your sleeves and dig in. Do your homework by finding out your frost dates and zone. Select interesting varieties of your favourite vegetables and include your family. Carefully choose your garden location. Plant your seeds and seedlings to maximize garden productivity, obtaining multiple harvests of the same vegetable where possible. Protect your plants from frost.

The Frenchman steered his side to a club-record eighth straight league away win at Swansea on Saturday and believes the Gunners can challenge for the top prize this season
Arsene Wenger insists his burgeoning Arsenal side will figure in the race for the Premier League title this season.The Frenchman and his team were all but written off following an opening day defeat to Aston Villa, but the Gunners have responded with nine straight wins in all competitions and now head the Premier League by two points after Saturday's 2-1 win at Swansea City.
9/2 | Arsenal are 9/2 with BetVictor to win the Premier League |
"It's terrible to lose the first game of this season but that was the first one we had lost since March," Wenger told reporters. "I was proven right by the fact that, after that [Villa defeat], we have responded in a positive way. We have improved. We have good stability."
"We have the desire of course. You see that as well," the Arsenal manager said. "But it's an early stage with just six games played. After the first game, I would have taken 15 points today. Let's just try to keep going.
"We have a chance. It's very open. There are maybe six or seven teams. You can even add Everton to the top four, plus Liverpool and Tottenham.
"It will be very interesting. Today, what has changed compared to years before maybe, is that when playing at 80 per cent you cannot win against any team in the Premier League. You have to be between 95 and 100 - and that promises a very interesting season."

Editors' Review
+FireFTP gives you the power of a top-notch FTP client from within your Firefox browser. It can handle multiple accounts and remember different logins, passwords, and connection settings for each. It supports authenticated TSL, authenticated SSL, and implicit SSL for secure transfers, drag and drop, and CHMOD changes. The plug-in works across platforms, lets users import and export account settings, and supports directory comparisons and synchronization, time-stamp syncing, file hashes, and auto-reconnect.
Setting up the program is as easy as using it. It's accessible either from Tools in the menu bar or you can add a FireFTP icon to the toolbar via customization options. You can also set the program to open in a new window or in a new tab, and it ran conflict-free with other major Firefox extensions like Tab Mix Plus, AdBlock Plus, or FoxyTunes.
Most surprisingly, it didn't cause any system sluggishness or freezes, nor did it instigate a massive memory leak of the kind that Firefox has become known for. There are, however, a few drawbacks. Windows Vista support has been spotty, and because of Firefox limitations, the app can't transfer files larger than 4GB, nor can it access network folders. Proxy support works for some, but not others. Despite these problems, the plug-in was stable, easy to use, and provided enough advanced features to make it worth coming back to.

Without real work, resolutions are more of a fantasy
Wow, it's February already? If the rest of the year goes as fast as January, you folks who still have your Christmas lights up might as well leave them up. (I'm kidding. Get that stuff put away.)
Another question: After a month, how are you doing on those New Year's resolutions? After I wrote the column in late December about not making resolutions, I received a copy of a commentary written by psychologist John E. Valusek. It ran in The Wichita Eagle on Jan. 1, 1996. Needless to say his opinions are more scientific than mine, and certainly right on the mark. He wrote that most of us make our resolutions impulsively. We don't think it through. "Therefore, they are more likely to be the stuff of dreams, not realities – they are wishes and wants without substance – they represent fantasies, not actualities," he wrote.
Let's remember, however, that some people do think it through and they are successful with their resolution or the goals they set any time during the year. But Valusek says that's only possible if we are "willing to involve ourselves and accept major responsibility for all of our choices and all of the consequences that go with them."
There it is! That's the problem. Most of us don't like change in the first place and it's not easy to blame ourselves, and only ourselves, for failure. He also writes, "The human animal is the only animal capable of choosing how we will be behave under any given circumstance – no matter how good or bad that circumstance might be."
Well, this female human animal isn't doing great on her main goal, so I'd better quit counting on magic, big wishes and good luck and start putting out the effort it will take to make a change.
Happy Heart Day – Don't forget Friday is Valentine's Day. A lot of people have fun, funny, and sometimes sad stories about Valentine's Day. Years ago I got a letter from a reader, Wanda Smith, who shared a funny story. Her sister Gloria was 7 years old when she received a homemade valentine from a young man named Stanley. He inscribed it with a toothpick using milk instead of ink so that a lighted match held beneath the paper would reveal the message, "Your my girl." (Who needs "you're" when it comes to love.) Well, the match got too close so the paper went up in flames. But that didn't stop Gloria from sending Stanley a construction paper heart signed, "Your interesting friend." She meant to write, "Your interested friend." Wanda says by fourth grade, the hot romance had flickered out. "Too much smoke and fire," she said.
Come Friday, eat some chocolate, give someone you love a kiss and have a happy Valentine's Day.

LP Aspire Accent Wood Bongos with Scarab Finish

Unique scarab design.
Things keep getting better and better for the affordable, rich sounding Aspire series from LP. Now LP has applied traditional LP innovation to the realm of aesthetics. The result is one of the most beautiful finishes to adorn any conga or bongo.
The LP Aspire line has a striking new look: the LP Aspire Scarab, a multi-faceted finish that combines contemporary and ancient design components. The Scarab finish focuses on an intertwined motif depicting an unbroken series of scarab beetles--insects considered sacred by the ancient Egyptians and figuring highly in their art and mythology. Symbolizing eternal life, the scarab was said to be sacred and has been found in stone, in sculptures, on amulets, and aligned as picture borders, and in lieu of marquetry on fine furniture. On LP Aspire bongos, the Scarab bands intersect upper and lower panels of glistening black lacquer. The contrast of the motif against maple center band is rivaled only by the juxtaposition of mirror chrome against jet-black lacquer.
The look adorns special sets of LP Aspire Series bongos. The finish is exotic and fascinating, new to the world of drums. Drums are fitted with fine rawhide skins, topped with EZ Curve Rims, which minimize hand trauma. Conga sets come with a sturdy, chromed double stand, fully-adjustable. Even the snaking tuning rods are aesthetically in harmony with the curved scarab lines.
The LP Aspire line has always featured great sounding drums and fabulous finishes. The scarab finish, however, is an example of LP bettering itself especially when you see the low price.
LP's Aspire Series just keeps getting better! Order today.
