40 year old man | Houston, TX, USA | Seeking women 30-39 within 50 miles
Looking for My Best Friend
Hello there. I appreciate your interest and your time. I'm an all around easy-going guy. My name is Brenton, and I consider myself to be a traditional person with relationships. I believe in courtship and patience. I am a Christian man in-progress, and my first loyalty is to God. I want to be clear about a few things. I respect women, and I also respect myself. I want to save myself (what's left anyway - LOL) for my wife. I do have a past so I'm not perfect, and I don't expect anyone to be. I have lived with someone in the past, and it did not work out. That said, I'm not the guy who will shack up before marriage. We're either all in or all out. I'm not a Bible thumper. I just want to be authentic. I am loyal, compassionate, honest, and a romantic. I love affection so you would need to a be a person who likes the same. I'm a dedicated father of one seven year old son who is quite active and a comedian. I don't force my child on anyone, but I do have the expectation that you will need to meet him at some point. His mother is a nice person so you will have no issues as long as there is respect on both sides. I am gainfully employed and have been with my current employer for almost three years. I work normal business hours and do have my weekends free. I do drink wine, and my favorite is David Stone Cabernet because of it's smoothness and clean flavors. I like to get out from time to time. I'm focused on buying a house so moderation with the spending is where I am. I am not a club-goer, and I do not visit strip clubs for those of you who are a little more racy. Interesting Facts About Me: I served in the Army for six years and in Iraq for one year. I lived in Europe for three years. I am a die hard Star Wars fanatic. I love to play flag football and currently looking for a year-round league. I love cooking and always looking for exotic things to try. I get a pedicure once a month.

Customer comments about Parsons 82x15" 18h Bench:
We got our bench custom built to fit perfectly in our mudroom/foyer. The bench is the perfect height and the orange bison leather adds a luxurious but understated touch to the otherwise forgettable room. We threw in a red carpet/runner and it completes the room perfectly. The piece is well crafted, with a clean finish and is quite heavy and substantial. The cushion is on the firm side and there is plenty of room underneath for storage.

Diner's Halloween Decorations Stolen (Again)
The Halloween decorations outside the Capital City Diner are apparently just way too much of a draw for thieves passing by. Recently they were stolen, and then returned, after owner Matt Ashburn put up flyers with the thief's picture at a bus stop and liquor store. Now the decorations have disappeared again, this time the culprit was wearing a Vincent Gray shirt.
From the Diner's Twitter stream:
Oh the irony- guy wearing a Vince Gray "character, integrity" shirt steals Halloween stuff today

Buffalo Desserts Sandwiches Seafood
"We were most impressed by the fish side of the Fish N Chips, a plate with three lightly lemony, deep-fried pieces of haddock that we could only describe as delicious."
When friends and readers ask us about recently-opened local restaurants, we're torn: on one hand, we want to offer immediate impressions as soon as they've opened - if they're selling to the public, the public deserves to know - but we also realize that a brand new business deserves some time to settle into its new location before being fully judged. Thus, we bring you relatively abbreviated and combined looks at two new Elmwood Avenue businesses: Zillycakes, a cake and cupcake shop that opened in late May, and Captain Jack's Fish N Chips, which opened two weeks ago only a few blocks down. Though they're substantially different from one another in the specifics of what and how they sell, both have well-designed exteriors that caught our eyes, and those of our readers.
Zillycakes. Snow was on the ground when we first spied attractive signage on Elmwood for Zillycakes, mysteriously touting a cake decorating business that wouldn't actually open for months - and then, not on the same side of the street where the sign had appeared. In late May, the store opened, and soon thereafter, we dropped in for a couple of minutes, seeing what appeared to be a storefront for fancy, made-to-order cakes, plus a couple of depleted-looking display cases up front. Whatever was going to be sold there, we figured, either was out of stock because it was too late in the day, or not really the focus of the people who were decorating cakes in the back. We decided to try a second visit on another occasion, but noticed some beautifully designed, classy "Z" promotional cards as we were leaving. Our last thought about the place was that it was great to see a local business embracing high-quality graphic and logo design.
We returned this weekend, and what we found this time was similar in the display case department - a few handfuls of scattered items - except for two key differences. There were small signs hinting that this was a custom cupcake bar, and a person there to explain what was going on with what initially looked to be very plain cupcakes. Unlike its neighbor Delish, which elaborately decorates numerous cupcakes and then leaves them sitting out for a bit too long, Zillycakes makes fewer and decorates them to order on the spot. You pick one of four or five flavors of cupcakes, each offered in $2 small and $3 large - really medium - sizes, then choose a completely fresh frosting from a short list of flavor options, and either free or premium 50-cent toppings as you prefer. What's included and what's extra isn't initially obvious, as six or so toppings are in plastic-wrapped display dishes - revealed to be included only if you ask - and others are indicated as premium on a small sign with prices. It's more than a little confusing.
For the standard $3 prices, we grabbed one coconut cupcake, topped with a tropical fruit frosting and coconut shavings, as well as a white velvet cupcake with dolci de leech frosting and ground toffee chunks on top. Both were fresh, pretty good, and fun to customize, but a little small; more importantly, Zillycakes' signage was fragmented, such that we needed to look around on multiple little pieces of paper to see all of the choices, and wound up missing one of the frostings - a cannoli version - because its sign was hidden behind the counter. We get the impression that Zillycakes is going to be a local powerhouse in cake decoration, but that its snack side isn't a major part of its business… yet. For now, its custom cupcake bar is a cool idea that could easily become a bigger deal with improved signage and a better-organized display of all the available options.
Captain Jack's Fish N Chips. By comparison with Zillycakes, Elmwood's brand-new seafood restaurant Captain Jack's (1066 Elmwood Ave., 716.881.3474) is a thoroughly cash-and-carry-focused establishment, with emphasis on the "carry:" open for only two weeks, the restaurant has already seen long waiting lines at dinner time, and is letting first-time customers know that its interior tables aren't meant for extended seating. "Everything here is take-out," said the cashier, twice to different customers on our visit, and the small tables inside include signage requesting that you not actually eat at them; they're only for people waiting to leave with their orders. The tables outside on its patio? You can feel free to have your meal there. But really, you're supposed to pick up your bag(s) of food and take them home. Captain Jack - as played by Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean, hanging on the wall of the small but clean blue-walled restaurant across from a large aquarium - apparently would have wanted it that way.
Some good news: the items we sampled from its short, entirely under-$10 (and mostly $5-$7) menu were all pretty good. Some bad news: because so many of the offerings are fried, you'd better live close to Captain Jack's, or be able to snag one of those outside tables, or you won't enjoy the hot, fresh fish at its peak. There are, of course, non-fried items here - chicken, turkey, and veggie burgers most prominent amongst them - but we focused on the seafood on this visit, due to the restaurant's fish-heavy slant.
We were most impressed by the fish side of the Fish N Chips ($6), a plate with three lightly lemony, deep-fried pieces of haddock that we could only describe as delicious; they were tender and subtle enough inside to enjoy without accompaniment, but came with a small cup of tartar sauce and a single packet of malt vinegar - too little for our resident vinegar fanatic. By comparison, the plain included french fries just weren't very good, and no substitute was available. While we were waiting for our meal, we heard the cashier explain that the two-week-old Captain Jack's had been out of its popular sweet potato fries for some time; they would otherwise have been an alternative. We also tried and liked its onion-heavy cornmeal and flour ball hushpuppies, and would gladly substitute them for the fries if given the chance in the future. A honey butter sauce was also included, and proved staggeringly sweet given the small size of the dipping cup.
Another good pick was the shrimp portion of the Coconut Shrimp ($8), a dinner-sized box with seven large, properly golden-fried shrimp in a very nice coconut batter, served as is customary with a sweet marmalade dip, plus a clean, homemade cole slaw, and some more of the disappointing fries. By contrast, a Tuna Steak Sandwich ($6) was more capable than most other fish offerings here of surviving an extended drive home - a nice-sized piece of pan-seared tuna, plus a good roll, and typical sandwich lettuce, tomato, and mayo toppings. Unfortunately, we were verbally offered three sauce options - cajun, lemon, or barbecue - and made the mistake of trying the barbecue, which turns out not to be on the printed menu. The sweet glaze had no verve and didn't work well at all with the tuna; our suspicion is that the other options would have been a lot better.
Less impressive but inexpensive enough was the Fish Taco ($4), which really should have been called a Fish Burrito: it contained a stick of the same deep-fried haddock from the Fish N Chips, mixed with the cabbage coleslaw, tomato chunks, and shreds of cheddar cheese inside a flour wrapper. The balance of elements wasn't quite right for a taco, but the quality wasn't bad, either; it would appeal most to people who love fish fry mashups and haven't had proper fish tacos elsewhere. Last up were the Stuffies ($6), two large clam shells that had been packed with a breadcrumb-heavy, clam-light stuffing, then served with a cup of cocktail sauce and a lemon wedge. As with the fried fare, these baked stuffed shells aren't exactly ideal take-out food unless you live nearby - the breading doesn't get better over time, and overwhelmed most of the clam flavor even fresh out of the box - but they may be worth sampling if you're willing and able to eat out front.
Based on the items we sampled - and the fact that both the sweet potato fries and the Manhattan Clam Chowder we'd hoped to order were unavailable on our first visit - we'd go back to Captain Jack's again. Time will tell whether it's going to become a highlight of the Elmwood strip, but based on Buffalo's love for great fried haddock, we wouldn't be surprised.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov gestures to their meeting table with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, right, shakes hands before their meeting in Berlin on Tuesday, Feb. 26, 2013. (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin, Pool)
BERLIN: US Secretary of State John Kerry began talks with his Russian counterpart Tuesday aimed at bridging differences over Syria after voicing confidence the two could find "common ground".
Shaking hands at the start of the meeting in Berlin, Kerry commented he was "happy to see" Sergei Lavrov since "we know each other" while the Russian minister quipped he would sit down when journalists allowed him to get to his chair.
Moscow and Washington have differences over Syria -- Russia is one of the few big powers to keep ties with the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and, with China, has vetoed UN Security Council resolutions that would have introduced sanctions against Damascus.
Hours ahead of his talks with Kerry, Lavrov had slammed "extremists" within the Syrian opposition who he said were blocking the start of dialogue in the war-torn country by making unrealistic demands.
He said that recent faint hopes that dialogue was possible between the opposition and the Assad regime had dissipated.
"It seems that extremists who bet on an armed solution to the Syrian problem have prevailed in the ranks of the opposition at this time, including the so-called (Syrian) National Coalition, blocking all initiatives that could lead to the start of dialogue," Lavrov told reporters in Moscow.
Lavrov said there was "an increasing understanding of the need to influence both the government and especially the opposition in order to persuade them against putting forward unrealistic demands as the prerequisite conditions for the start of dialogue".
"During our latest phone contact it seemed to me that he (John Kerry) understands the acuteness of the situation," he added.
Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Muallem had said in Moscow Monday that the authorities in Damascus were ready to talk to armed rebels, the first time a senior official of the Assad regime had made such a proposal.
But the rebel Free Syrian Army's chief of staff Selim Idriss said that before any dialogue could begin, Assad's regime must fall, among other pre-conditions.
"I am not going to sit down with him or with any other member of his clique before all the killing stops, or before the army withdraws from the cities," he told pan-Arab broadcaster Al-Arabiya.
Kerry, on an 11-day tour of Europe and the Middle East, his first foreign trip since taking over the office, earlier told an event in Berlin with German youngsters that he and Lavrov had a "good relationship".
"I am confident we will find common ground," he said.
Washington has recently toned down its criticism of Moscow's intransigence over Syria.
"We've been absolutely clear that there needs to be a political transition, and we felt that Russia could play a key role in convincing the regime... that there needs to be that political transition," a State Department official told reporters.
However the talks are not expected to produce a "big breakthrough", the official added.
-- 'Decision on next steps' in Rome --
As diplomatic efforts intensified, fierce clashes erupted Tuesday around the historic Umayyad Mosque in Syria's second city Aleppo, as rebels battled troops on the grounds of a police academy elsewhere in the province, a watchdog said.
And a record 150,000 people this month fled the worsening conflict, according to the top UN political official.
Syria's opposition has been calling for the international community to do more -- the United Nations says the fighting has claimed 70,000 lives since the conflict began in March 2011 -- and warned last week it would withdraw from an international conference in Rome planned for Thursday.
But Kerry and British Foreign Secretary William Hague convinced the opposition to revoke its boycott of the Friends of Syria conference.
Syrian National Coalition chief Ahmed Moaz al-Khatib said his group would attend after Kerry and Hague "promised specific aid to alleviate the suffering of our people".
In London, Kerry insisted he wanted the Syrian opposition to know "that we are not coming to Rome simply to talk. We are coming to Rome to make a decision on next steps."
The trip sees Kerry, the son of a diplomat, back on familiar ground. He spent part of his childhood in Berlin and has family in France.
Kerry also met German Chancellor Angela Merkel and standing next to her reminisced in a statement to reporters how he had cycled through Berlin past the then-destroyed Reichstag in his youth.

- Very pleased!Review by Yolie
This is just the right color for a 4th of July celebration. The color is a deep navy and American flag centerpieces display beautifully against it. It makes quite an elegant statement. The quality if much better and less expensive than what I've seen at my local rental store.(Posted on 5/29/14)
- Not bad...but...Review by Sylvia
I was disappointed to find that the edges were not sufficiently caught in the hem all the way around the tablecloth. There were threads hanging in a number of places. At the price though, they were not extremely bad. The color was consistent with other sizes of tablecloths and napkins too. They washed fairly well, though some of the hanging hem threads raveled.(Posted on 1/8/14)
- Very happyReview by Lauren
I purchased these for my wedding and am very happy with what I received. They were packed well so came with very few wrinkles. The fabric is thick and durable. Although I am only using them for one night, the fabric feels very thick and durable- like they would hold up for many washes. Also, through Linen Tablecloth it was much cheaper to buy than it was to rent!(Posted on 2/23/13)
- Coordination MattersReview by Lesline
Although the navy is dark, but when accompanied by right colors it is really beautiful. Used it with 90'"round ivory for my pastor's 50th B'day. Alternated navy and ivory napkins on tables. Also used ivory chair covers. Worked out fantastic for a masculine function.(Posted on 4/9/12)

PHOENIX -- Jeff Karstens has given the Pittsburgh Pirates a perfect start. Almost a perfect game, too.
The right-hander set down his first 23 batters before Chris Young's two-out double in the eighth inning and finished with a two-hitter Wednesday in a 2-0 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Karstens (2-0) has pitched 15 scoreless innings since going to Pittsburgh in a six-player trade that sent outfielder Xavier Nady and reliever Damaso Marte to the New York Yankees.
"It's been a big change," Karstens said. "I was pitching well in triple A and I felt like I wasn't going to go anywhere."

Discovered! 505
Branching Out with Blueberries
DR. GLEASON L. ARCHER, now of Pembroke, Massachusetts, was born with the proverbial "green thumb." Although the founder of Suffolk Law School and Suffolk University in Boston, he is at heart a dirt farmer and dabbler in horticulture. Apple tree propagation caught his attention first, and all his odd moments were spent pursuing this hobby.
Then one day he discovered that cultivated blueberries were selling for $1 a box. Yankee thrift came to the fore, and he decided to shift his interests to blueberries. He would raise his own on his farm in Norwell. He tried—and failed! Being a determined man, he wanted to find the reason for his failure. Solving its mysteries became one of the aims of his busy life.
He spent his weekdays at the university, guiding with steady hand the school he had founded. He wrote books of law and history—nearly two dozen published volumes. But he always found time for his hobby.
IT WAS only by accident seven years ago that Dr. Archer stumbled on the "facts of life" of the blueberry. A friend had a well-established blueberry orchard with healthy bushes loaded with fruit. It was planted on a dark loamed terrace between two cranberry bogs. Blueberries require acid soil—as do cranberries. Dr. Archer had failed because he had used rich alkaline soil.
He then set about studying blueberry culture in earnest. A government bulletin gave him rather sketchy theories on the subject. Not very much material to go on. But it did contain a section on blueberry propagation. That fascinated Dr. Archer. Evidently here was a new field to explore.
He went back to the friend and asked him if he might have some soft wood cuttings to experiment with. The friend laughed, but consented. Together they went to the field and cut shoots that needed to be pruned because of overcrowding. Then gathering sphagnum moss from a swamp, Dr. Archer made a propagation bed near a cranberry bog—using sand and sphagnum moss as advised by the bulletin.
It wasn't a complete success. Out of every 500 cuttings only 200 took root. He wintered these in a cellar. The next spring he planted them in newly turned soil near the cranberry bog, but torrential rains and frost descended, locking the plants in ice. He lost most of them, but that was the beginning of his education as a blueberry grower. He had learned through failure.
AFTER FORTY-TWO years of intense activity in the educational field, Dr. Archer retired. He was then sixty-eight years old. But you can't put an active man out to pasture and tell him his days of usefulness are over.
"I'll start a blueberry nursery," he announced rather casually.
"What? At your age?" friends protested.
Protestations wore thin as Dr. Archer recited the merits of blueberry culture. They require little care when once started. They have few enemies, and sleep all winter. Once established they last a lifetime, not having to be transplanted like strawberries. Last but not least, the returns are good as an investment.
In July, 1948, Dr. Archer found a piece of land in Pembroke at "Brimstone Corner"—its name since Colonial times when a powder mill was located there. This land had never been successfully cultivated by man until occupied by Dr. Archer. The widow who owned it heard of his search for blueberry land and asked him to look at it. But there was a swale in the corner. He offered to buy all but the swale. The widow was firm—swale or no sale. After two weeks of soil testing he bought the land, including the swale, and the widow gave a sigh of relief to think she had unloaded such a useless piece of land.
But that swale proved to be the backbone of the nursery. The swale nuisance was abolished by the use of a steam shovel. It was turned into a pond 122 by 36 feet with a depth of six feet, uncovering five underground openings of spring water that had bedeviled the land for centuries.
The pond filled in two days. Except during heavy rains the water never rises above three feet. Since it is spring-fed, it never runs dry. It is a reservoir of great value since the peaty soil absorbs moisture from the pond and brook that flows from it. The bushes are heavily mulched, and as there are no irrigation problems, Dr. Archer's blueberry fields never go dry. Today his berries are bigger and plumper than the average of the same varieties.
The nursery has about eleven acres of cleared blueberry land with another five that are being cleared with the help of one field hand—a high school boy. After that Dr. Archer feels he can handle all the work alone except during the harvest season when more hands are required to pick the ripe fruit.
IT IS hard to believe that Dr. Archer started a few years ago with a few rooted cuttings and some older bushes for propagation material. Recently I visited the nursery, and there were thousands of bushes of all ages stretching away in the distance. There were tiny newly rooted plants that had just been set out and were bedded down for the winter under a thick blanket of pine needles. There were two- and three-year-olds—husky and ready for sale. One growing season is a year in blueberry language.
The bushes in the regular orchard now stand five and six feet in height, the new shoots scarlet and highly decorative. Dr. Archer makes hardwood cuttings from these plants in March when he does his annual pruning. In July the vigorous growth of the plants makes another pruning possible—the so-called softwood cuttings.
The rooting of cuttings is a difficult feat. Dr. Archer lost thousands before perfecting his method. To achieve this, he divided one of his propagation beds into six cubicles. In each cubicle he put a different combination of "propagation mash"—a mixture of sand and peat. Each section held cuttings of the same variety. Each received the same amount of water and light. By November of that year he had his answer. He took the two leaders of this first experiment and made further trials last summer. Results? Number one came through 100 per cent!
DR. ARCHER feels there is a great future for cultivated blueberries. He has learned from experience that quality berries sell at premium prices. The flavor, he says, is better than the wild variety.
The growing of new plants is hazardous for the beginner, but you can always buy your plants and raise fruit for home or market. Raising berries is a hobby that can start small and increase from year to year until you have established the size orchard you can readily take care of.
Cultivated blueberries properly mulched require very little attention or space. They do not throw out runners or form new plants like raspberries or blackberries. They just attend to business—the business of growing big, luscious blueberries.
The yield per bush depends upon its age and size—also the size of the berries. Bushes are set when three years old. If planted in the fall, they might yield a few berries the following summer. Bushes set in the spring should have their blossoms removed so that their strength will go into building up a vigorous root system. The plant must have moisture to produce berries, and moisture depends upon this root system. The sooner the plants get their feet established, the sooner you will reap the harvest.
On page 29, Farmers Bulletin No. 1951, issued by the United States Department of Agriculture, reports experiments in Michigan with cultivated blueberries that show results per acre. According to these statistics the second year after planting (plants now five years old—about 1,000 plants per acre), an acre of bushes will yield fifty pints of berries; third year, 200 pints; fourth year, 2,050 pints; fifth year, 4,000 pints; sixth year, 6,000 pints pet acre.
Blueberries are usually sold by the pint and packaged with a Cellophane cover bring up to 50 cents a pint, retail. If 6,000 pints netted only 25 cents a box, an acre would still bring $1,500. That is only three quarts per bush.
Dr. Archer's experience exceeds these figures. Only two acres of his plants have been in the field three years. According to these statistics he should have had only 400 pints last summer. He picked 2,000 pints from the two acres. Thus he produced five times as much as the Michigan statistics said he would.
There's an amusing incident connected with marketing these berries. At one time last summer the Archer records showed 1,100 pints had been picked but only 1,000 sold—and not a berry remained. For days the bookkeeper, Mrs. Dora Maxwell, pored over the figures, wondering how 100 boxes could have slipped through her fingers. Then it dawned on her and Dr. Archer that they had used the missing 100 pints in heaping up their boxes. But fat packages payoff well. They sold the entire crop wholesale at 35 cents a pint for several weeks and never less than 27 cents a pint tor the balance of the season.
AS A HOBBY, the growing of blueberries is ideal—especially for a man or woman cooped in office or factory all day. It can become a real family project at picking time, and the remainder of the work can be carried out week-ends and summer evenings. In winter you can enjoy blueberry pies made from fruit canned or frozen at harvest time. When you retire from your regular employment you will have a small, ready-made project for healthful exercise and possible cash return.
The bushes can be planted in nearly any type of soil. Just remember that they need plenty of sunlight and moisture. Tree roots can sap the moisture so necessary for a blueberry bush. If the soil is alkaline or sandy, dig a pit for each bush and fill the pit with leaf mold, peat, leaves, pine needles or any acid compost. Set the bush in the midst of it. This gives the plant acid soil and conserves moisture.
Bushes can be set out in spring or fall. The spring season is from April 1 to May 15 in New England. Dr. Archer prefers to plant from mid October till the ground freezes. Last year he transplanted 500 bushes in December, and they all prospered—in fact blossomed and bore fruit of excellent quality.
To insure proper pollination, two or more varieties should be planted in the field at the same time. Dr. Archer has fifteen varieties in his nursery at present but has been selling only three—Rubel, Concord and Jersey. He is developing the others into saleable bushes. Atlantic, Burlington, Pemberton, and Stanley will also be on sale next year. In the future he expects to have Berkeley, Covell, Dixi, Pioneer, Weymouth, and newer varieties, in order to extend the season from early July to September. Then too, he is striving for larger and better fruit. But all the above named varieties are reliable.
BUSHES ARE planted in rows eight or nine feet apart, and set at least four feet apart in the rows. The plants should not stand in water, but moisture should be available—a water table eighteen inches below the surface is ideal.
The field should be kept free of weeds and grass. Mulching heavily with hay, pine needles, or cranberry vines will effectively discourage them and conserve moisture. Mulch should be a foot deep to be effective. It makes picking easier, and rain cannot splash mud on the berries.
A commercial fertilizer—7-7-7—is applied in April a double handful spread in a circle around each adult bush. Mature bushes should be pruned in March, removing dead wood and cross-branches.
One day Dr. Archer was working in the blueberry field when a man who had purchased bushes from him the previous year drove up. He was greatly excited.
"My bushes are throwing out suckers from the ground!" he called out. "What shall I do, cut them off?"
Dr. Archer smiled. "Congratulations," he replied. "You're a fortunate man. You must have good blueberry land to have them develop so quickly. Do not cut them off; they will mean larger yields of berries." The customer went away satisfied.
SELLING LARGE, well flavored berries isn't very difficult once people try them. Dr. Archer has been able to sell all he has raised by the simple method of contacting wholesalers and restaurant owners in the vicinity.
One day last summer one of Dr. Archer's assistants took a crate of berries to a local inn. The proprietor grudgingly took a box. They heard no more from him that season. In July, 1951, the proprietor came and asked for wholesale privileges.
"I bought a box of berries from you last year," he said. "It made the best pie I ever ate. I used to think the wild ones were the only ones with flavor. Now I know better.
He bought big berries to decorate fruitcups and for pies. He ended by buying 400 pints for his deep freeze—pie fodder for the coming winter.
Blueberries aren't as perishable a product as strawberries or raspberries. They can be left on the bushes for days after turning blue. That is the secret of their sweetness and flavor—those extra days on the bush. You need conscientious pickers because sometimes a berry may look ripe on top but still be red underneath. Only fully ripened fruit should be picked.
Dr. Archer has advertising labels that are placed in his boxes before covering with Cellophane. These read, Archer Blueberry Nursery, and carry a short slogan: "Ye shall know them by their fruits. Archer bushes are top quality."
PROMOTING THE sale of bushes is done by several different methods. Advertisements are placed in the local papers. There are also big signs at the nursery plainly visible to passers by. The third method is via word of mouth from satisfied customers.
One day in November, 1951, a woman came from a long distance with one of the labels from a box of berries she had purchased that summer. Now she wanted to grow her own berries. So the sale of berries also helps the sale of bushes. Many repeat orders for bushes come in, some for the third and fourth time.
All transactions to date have been cash and carry—automobiles or trucks carting away the purchases. The Archer Nursery does not deliver or ship, local demand being equal to supply. Shipping will come when the nursery is fully grown.
Cuttings are never sold by Dr. Archer. All his plants must be three years of age before they are offered for sale. He will sell Jersey, Rubel, and Concord varieties this spring at the following prices; four-year-old bushes—$1.25, and three-year-old bushes for $1. In his third year of operation he sold $808 worth of bushes and $642 worth of berries. He intends eventually to sell more bushes than berries, but as he needs mature bushes for cuttings, he will always have berries to sell as a by-product.
THERE ARE a few booklets available on blueberry culture. Experimentation is being conducted by the United States Department of Agriculture and also by various state agriculture departments, including those in New Jersey and Massachusetts. The following list of bulletins is recommended.
Farmers Bulletin, No. 1951, issued by the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture in May, 1944 (slightly revised in November, 1946), is well illustrated and informative; 38 pages; apply Superintendent of Documents, U. S. Government Printing Office, Washington 25, D. C. Price 10 cents.
Blueberry Culture in Massachusetts, by Bailey, Franklin and Kelley; issued by University of Massachusetts, Amherst, Massachusetts, in June, 1950; 24 pages.
Blueberries in the Garden, by Dr. John S. Bailey; leaflet No. 240, issued by University of Massachusetts, Amherst, Massachusetts, March, 1949; 8 pages; suggestions on soil, cultivation, pruning, and pest control.
Propagation of High Bush Blueberry of Softwood Cuttings, by Doran and Bailey; Bulletin 410, November, 1943; 8 pages; University of Massachusetts, Amherst, Massachusetts.
Blueberry Industry in New Jersey, 1944, by Allen and Weiss; Circular 356; 54 pages; a statistical study of little value to the beginner.
A BEGINNER is advised to buy bushes, but if he wants to experiment with propagation, this is how the Archer Nursery does it:
Dr. Archer has what appears to be a row of hotbeds such as those used to start seedlings in the spring. Cuttings require moisture, heat, and not too much sunshine. Beds for spring cuttings have heating wires in the bottoms of the beds. (July cuttings do not require artificial heat). Four to six inches of propagation mash is firmed in the beds. Cuttings are set in rows two inches apart, an inch or more apart in the rows.
The bed is covered with sash or wire-glass cloth to conserve both heat and moisture. A slatted cover fits over this to reduce the strong rays of the sun. In three months the cuttings should have begun to form roots.
Each grower will have to experiment with his own mash as peat varies in acid content. Peat as referred to in this article is not the same as sphagnum moss—they are two different things. Dr. Archer tried sphagnum moss and failed, but finds his peat is perfect.
You do not need peat except to root cuttings. If you do not have any of your own it can be obtained commercially by the bale. This adds to the cost, but as long as it is used only in the rooting process it need not be too prohibitive. You must have an acid peat such as of sphagnum moss origin. Although sphagnum moss is not peat, it does have the same acid quality. Dr. Archer finds it too porous for best results when shredded and mixed with sand.
Dr. Archer's peat has an acid content of Ph 3.4 which is more acid than ordinary peat. Since he had tons of it in his own meadow, he naturally wanted to use it. He developed his own formula. Dr. Archer uses a cement mixer to compound the mash.
In order to make satisfactory hardwood cuttings you must be able to distinguish between the leaf and flower buds, pruning the latter. A leaf bud is tiny, but a flower bud is rounded, If any flowering buds are left, they will sap the strength of the cutting, and it will die.
Hardwood cuttings are started in March and April. They should be rooted by July. Softwood cuttings—which have newly formed spurs with leaves—are made in July, and should be rooted by November.
Newly rooted cuttings must be protected the first winter. They may be kept in the propagation beds if mulched with pine needles and protected from snow and ice. They may even be set in the nursery if well rooted, protected in the same manner.
Dr. Archer started with some old bushes that hadn't been pruned for nine years. In order to bring these to productivity, he had sharply pruned and cut them back. This forced the plant to send up new growth from the ground. These plants are called "reconditioned."
DR. ARCHER predicts that someday cultivated blueberries will have a place in every home garden or lawn. They are beautiful at all times of the year and rewarding in their production of tasty berries. What would be lovelier around a house lot, than a hedge of blueberries? Utility and beauty combined.
Because Dr. Archer has green thumbs his hobby will continue to grow as it has in recent years. Now at seventy-one, this six-foot-plus, huskily built man can be seen working happily with his bushes every summer day. Active people are healthy people, and the outdoor life is giving him back the energy he may have lost when wrestling with educational problems.
When asked if he feared too much competition he laughed and replied:
"The demand for blueberries will grow. A man who is careful and raises fine quality fruit will never have to worry."
The expansions in progress at the Archer Nursery would seem to affirm this belief. His hobby has become his vocation.
The seasonal nature of this hobby gives Dr. Archer the winter months for literary work. When writing and pruning interests merge in March, he lays aside his pen and takes up his pruning shears. Today his literary and horticultural pursuits combine to give him a perfectly rounded life.
Note: To account for inflation, multiply prices by 8 to 10.

Two days in October with ground displays but no military flights
MIRAMAR Military aircraft still in service for national defense won't fly, but the 2013 Miramar Air Show will go on, the commanding officer of the Marine air station announced Monday.
"The show is going to be a little different this year, but I tell you it is going to be a time to remember, for you and your family," Col. John Farnam said in a videotaped invitation to San Diegans.
As always, the air show is a way for Marines and sailors to tell San Diego, as Farnam put it, "Thank you for who you are as a community. Thank you for the way you wrap your arms around us."
But it will be one day shorter, on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 4-5, and feature only ground displays of Marine equipment and aircraft. As in previous shows, civilian flying demonstrations and vintage military aircraft are expected, but this time serving as the main attraction.
The headliner act, the Navy Blue Angels fighter jet demonstration team, won't perform, nor will locally based military aircraft. But San Diegans will be welcomed onto the runway to meet the air station's most valuable resource, Farnam said — its Marines.
"They are who I need you to see and understand," Farnam said. The base open house "will give you an opportunity to understand your Marine Corps and what it is that we do for the nation. To see that your trust in us, to protect our way of life, to protect our nation, is not misplaced."
The air station is in the final stages of contracting for civilian flight demonstrations, said Capt. Anton Semelroth, a Miramar spokesman. More information will follow on attractions, acts and the schedule of events.
The Patriots jet team will be there, said lead pilot Dean "Wilbur" Wright, a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel who flew with the service's Thunderbirds demonstration team.
The Patriots flew six small black L-39 jets in precision formations at last year's air show.
"As long as there is an air show at Miramar, we will be there," Wright said. "It will be strictly civilian. It will have a different flair to it, but we are all going to do our best to entertain the masses."
The lack of military participation has caused numerous air show cancellations nationwide. The Miramar show was in limbo after the Pentagon vetoed plans this month for local military aircraft flights. The Corps had applied for a waiver to a Defense Department policy grounding flight demonstrations since April because of sequestration budget cuts.
Marine officials were hopeful they would obtain permission to use local military aircraft for the show, because it nets an average annual profit of $1.5 million.
The Pentagon rejected those plans, citing the cost of the air show and fairness in applying its no-fly policy. Although the Miramar show pumps profits into community programs serving Marines and their families, such as day care and athletics, the event draws on nearly $350,000 in appropriated defense funds.
Those funds cover public safety and other logistical costs of welcoming more than 500,000 people aboard the air station during the customary three-day show.

insulation for Casa2G 100
I have constructed a stone house for my Casa2G 100. I'm wanting to fill the rest of the enclosure with insulation but nobody in this area has vermiculite. Of course, I have the oven wrapped in the FB blanket but just wanted some more insulation. I saw some blow-in insulation at Home Depot. Is that an option? If not, any other ideas? Thanks!
Re: insulation for Casa2G 100
Blow-in insulation is mostly cellulose. It's paper. You don't want it there. Even if it's loose fiberglass, domestic insulations have organic binders: I'd be suspicious of it unless I read the material data sheet.
Re: insulation for Casa2G 100
Hey Arkansas,
You don't really have to fill in the gaps with loose vermiculite -- as the oven come with a full 3 x 1" covering of FB Blanket on the top. That said, if you have gaps, it would be nice to add it.
Don't use anything other than vermiculite or perlite. You should definitely avoid paper and fiberglass insulation products.
Re: insulation for Casa2G 100
Thanks for the info. I just cooked my first pizza last night and it was [I]fabulous!!!!![/I]

they thought it was a burgerito coming out, but it was actually a baby
So, this is my 8th Coachella and I'll be almost 6 months by the time weekend 2 rolls around. I don't give a crap if I'm miserable, it's Coachella and I'm not missing it! Definitely not looking forward to those middle of the night pee runs (we are camping).
F: AC/DC, Nero, Cloud Nothings, Lykke Li, Interpol, George Ezra, Azealia Banks, Todd Terje, Gorgon City
S: Parquet Courts, Perfume Genius, Danny Tenaglia, Kasabian, Jack White, Royal Blood, TWOD, Chet Faker, What So Not
S: The Orwells, OFF!, St. Vincent, Gesaffelstein, Joyce Manor, Lil B, Kaskade, Madeon
I'd still go.
Just talked to my fiancé about this last week.
We are planning on trying to get pregnant next year after Coachella.
But, whatever happens, happens.
5 months wouldn't be too bad.
8-9 months would be miserable!
Be careful of the food you eat that may not have been chilled or handled properly. Ex: mayonnaise foods that go bad quickly in the sun .....
Well, after packing/moving all day Saturday, and cleaning old apartment for 5 hours on Sunday, I'm pretty confident I can handle Coachella + camping. Hope the temps stay nice and mild as predicted! Fingers crossed we get a camping spot close to portapotties!

KUMCRI > Sponsored Programs Administration > Procedures > Expense Transfer Requests
KUMCRI > Sponsored Programs Administration > Procedures > Expense Transfer Requests
The Principal Investigator (PI) or the departmental administrative staff will sometimes wish to move an expense from one speedtype to another to correct an input or posting error. These entries can be completed by RI if the department submits the Expense Reallocation form.
Take special note of transfers from one grant to another, and check grant documents on both projects to ensure that the transfer is allowable and allocable. When clearing overspent amounts on grant awards, it is necessary for the expenses to be moved to a departmental or R&D account. Simply transferring overspent amounts from one grant to another to cover the overrun is not allowable according to the OMB Circulars. The cost must be allowable on the grant to which it is being moved and must benefit that award.
Also take note of whether expenses are being moved between budget periods of the same award. This is only allowable if the expense actually was incurred within the current period but was posted to the older one (i.e. payroll). If expenses were incurred prior to the start of the new budget period, they must be transferred to a departmental or R&D account. Payroll transfers between two active awards should be done through the Retroactive Funding Adjustment (RFA) process, rather than direct transfers, except in the case of small balances that can be moved to reconcile an account exactly to zero once RFAs have run.
Be sure to review the justification supplied with the expense transfer request. It should thoroughly explain the reason the expense is more appropriate on another account and provide enough documentation to satisfy an auditor. Remarks such as "to clear overspent amount" or "to transfer from QSXXXXXX to QAXXXXXX" do not constitute satisfactory justification. Ask the department for additional information if the justification is vague.
**If transfer will debit a federal grant, refer to FDP Prior Approval Requirements or NIH Grants Policy Statement for guidance.
***If transfer will debit a private or state grant, refer to the specific Notice of Grant Award for this program as well as the sponsoring agency's guidelines.

Defense Minister J. Brownie Samukai has clarified that Ivorian authorities are yet to disclose the involvement of any Liberian in the ongoing fresh fighting in Cote D'Ivoire.
The minister told the BBC Monday, 24 February that the crisis in La Cote Cote D'Ivoire was internal and requires an internal solution. His comments yesterday appeared to be disputing claims of the involvement of Liberians in the ongoing border fighting, which has the propensity of destabilizing that country again.
There are unconfirmed reports that supporters of dethroned president Laurent Gbargbo militarily engaged troops loyal to President Alassane Outara. Heavy fighting erupted Sunday morning in the border town of Globe Town inside Cote D'Ivoire, near Liberia.
Multiple sources said heavy bomb blast and firing could be heard inside Cote D'Ivoire on Sunday morning, not too far from the Nyaaken Town with Little Wleebo in Liberia.
Joint security operatives, including the Police, Immigration and United Nations Mission in Liberia or UNMIL have been reported to have immediately dispatched to the Liberian side of the border since Sunday to embark on a patrol exercise.
The county superintendent in River Gee, Daniel Johnson had confirmed on Sunday that there was firing on the Ivorian side of the border with Liberia, suggesting that already, fresh Ivoirian refugees have begun crossing over to Liberia as a result of the fighting, which, he said, was affecting both sides due to the closeness.
Sources said news of the fighting reached the Liberia Sunday morning when travelers and traders commuting between the two countries via River Gee began calling family members here on the situation.

This recipe is from
The Sriracha Cookbook
YIELD: Makes 4 to 5 cups
In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the peaches, water, sugar, and lemon juice in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer gently for 5 minutes. Let the mixture cool slightly.
Carefully pour the peach mixture into the bowl of a food processor and pulse until smooth. Transfer the puree to an airtight container. Cover and refrigerate until chilled thoroughly, at least 4 hours, or until ready to use.
Add the Sriracha and process in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. (Some machines might require additional time in the freezer to set.) Serve in bowls. Garnish with sprigs of mint.
Feel free to opt for 2 (16-ounce) bags of frozen, sliced peaches (defrosted and drained) if fresh peaches are not available.

India's Sensex Index Gains for Seventh Week, Enters Bull Market
Feb. 17 (Bloomberg) -- Indian stocks completed the longest weekly winning streak in almost two years to enter into a bull market after Europe moved closer to a bailout for Greece and overseas investors bought assets in the South Asian nation.
The BSE India Sensitive Index, or Sensex, gained 0.8 percent to 18,289.35 at the 3:30 p.m. close in Mumbai, making it Asia's best performing stock measure. Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd., the biggest power-equipment maker, jumped the most since July 2009. State Bank of India, the nation's largest lender, surged to the highest level since July. Foreign investors bought a net $444 million of Indian stocks in two days to Feb. 16, taking their investment this year to $4.9 billion.
This rally is "liquidity driven," Manishi Raychaudhuri, head of Indian equity research at BNP Paribas SA, said in an interview with Bloomberg UTV today. "This is typically the kind of inflow India gets over a span of four to five months and not one to two months. It's been caused by massive inflows into emerging-market funds."
The Sensex climbed 3.1 percent this week, a seventh consecutive weekly advance, the longest since the period ended April 9, 2010. The index has rallied 18 percent this year, reaching the highest level since August, as inflation slowed, the central bank cut lenders' reserve requirements for the first time since 2009 and the rupee jumped from a record low.
The 30-company gauge has climbed 21 percent from a December low, surpassing the 20 percent threshold that signals a bull market. The gauge trades at 16.2 times estimated earnings, compared with 10.7 times on the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. The Sensex is the best performer in dollar terms after the Egypt's EGX 30 Index this year among 93 benchmark indexes tracked by Bloomberg.
Global Economy
Jobless claims in the U.S. dropped to a four-year low and housing starts beat forecasts. European governments considered cutting rates on emergency loans to Greece and using European Central Bank contributions to plug a new financing gap in a second bailout, two people familiar with the talks said.
Bharat Heavy Electricals soared 6.7 percent to 303.55 rupees, its highest level since Nov. 15. Tata Power Co., the biggest electricity generator outside state control, increased 4.1 percent to 118.65 rupees, its third day of advance.
State Bank rose 2.8 percent to 2,417.05 rupees, extending this week's climb to 11 percent. The stock has soared 49 percent this year, the second-most among the Sensex companies. Nearest rival ICICI Bank Ltd. added 1.3 percent to 981.6 rupees.
"We had a clear signal by the Reserve Bank that rate cuts are around the corner," BNP Paribas's Raychaudhuri said. "There's been a gradual turnaround in the policy environment and the attention the government is paying in trying to accelerate the investment climate. It's difficult to comment whether this is a secular bull run or not, but for the time being this is likely to continue."
Rate Outlook
The Reserve Bank of India said the majority of external members on an advisory panel recommended an interest-rate cut last month, underscoring rising pressure to counter weakening growth in Asia's third-largest economy.
Three of the seven external members suggested lowering the repurchase rate by 0.25 percentage point and one advised a half-point cut, the minutes of the Jan. 18 meeting released by the central bank today showed. Three recommended no change.
The interest-rate cycle has peaked after 13 increases between March 2010 and October 2011, Reserve Bank Deputy Governor Subir Gokarn said on Feb. 14 as data showed inflation in January at the slowest in more than two years.
The S&P CNX Nifty Index on the National Stock Exchange of India increased 0.8 percent to 5,564.30. The BSE 200 Index gained 0.7 percent to 2,262.14. Markets are closed on Feb. 20 for a public holiday.
Flows into emerging-market equity funds have reached $19 billion this year, compared with outflows of $34 billion in 2011, Citigroup Inc. analysts led by Markus Rosgen wrote in a report today, citing data compiled by EPFR Global.
"Emerging markets are beta plays on global markets," Mark Matthews, head of research for Asia at Bank Julius Baer & Co., said in an interview with Bloomberg UTV today. "People feel they will get better returns in a bull market by being in an emerging market."

TALK about a flip-flop. Having initially promised to reverse it, Republican nominee Mitt Romney now says that if he wins the presidency, he will retain some elements of "ObamaCare".
Romney may find some clues on what to keep in The Lancet, which last week published research showing that having all Americans take out health insurance is the only way to get a healthcare system that truly benefits everyone (doi.org/jbv).
In countries such as China, Vietnam, the Philippines, India and Ghana, up to half of all costs are paid "out of pocket", that is, directly at the time of treatment. Data from 120 countries, cited in another paper (doi.org/jbw), showed that for each 10 per cent increase in government health expenditure per head, 5 per cent fewer women die in childbirth. But for each extra 10 per cent paid out of pocket, there were 11 more deaths per 1000 women.
The key to effective universal healthcare is to have pooled finances, through either direct taxation related to income or mandatory insurance, says Bill Savedoff of the Center for Global Development in Washington DC, lead author of one of the papers. "If everyone pays out of pocket, the rich get the care they want but the poor don't," he says. "When you combine people's payments into a pool, you start to be able to manage care for whole populations."

Further on and another Rock Oven. This one was pretty much right on the rail bed, so I grabbed a quick shot of it:
Passed a couple of people on some smaller pit style bikes, they were heading to a cabin up near the Chute Lake Resort. A few km's down the road I come to the resort itself. For those who don't know, we had a massive forest fire rip through this area back in 2003. 24,000 Hectares went up. Many homes were lost, many were damaged. The fire burned all around the Chute Lake Resort property, even jumped across the lake and burned the hill completely:
The resort somehow was saved. It has been here for a long time so the owners were quite happy to see it continue!
The next few km's were spent blasting through the worst of the burn area. One of the good things of the fire is that you can now see some pretty nice looking scenery. Of course at the expense of the forest which used to stand there... Otherwise, this would be a ride down a tree lined rail bed...

Bibles for the Blind!
It is with great joy and thanksgiving that we can report that the first Bible specifically formatted for the distribution on Library of Congress type digital cartridges is a reality. The Blind can now own a New Living Translation Bible on a cartridge for use with the National Library Services for the Blind digital player. The Bible can also be copied to most Blind accessible digital book readers. The Bible is free to the Blind thanks to Light for the Lost. The players are free to the Blind thanks to the Library of Congress.
Bibles are already making their way into the hands of delighted Blind folks around the country. This is a giant leap forward in making the Center for the Blind materials available on digital cartridges. We cannot thank you enough for your part in this milestone!

My research is about the intersection of communications and environment in history. I studied history of media and history of technology as a grad student because I was fascinated with the issues I encountered while covering Capitol Hill in Washington DC during the great energy crisis of 1978 – 1981. I am also convinced that journalists who write about orphaned topics have an ethical responsibility to continue their research and make a contribution to history. — Bill Kovarik

Petroleum springs and coal mines are not inexhaustible but are rapidly diminishing in many places. Will man, then, return to the power of water and wind? Or will he emigrate where the most powerful source of heat sends its rays to all? History will show what will come."
Media history research
- The confluence of newspapers and the environment in the early 20th century. Looking at the news coverage of selected public health and conservation issues in the 1899 – 1932 period, we see a striking bipolar distribution, indicating a revival of Progressive era concerns late in the 1920s and the ubiquity of environmental controversy. This is a paper from the 1998 conference of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communications.

- The editor who tried to stop the Civil War: Hezekiah Niles and the New South describes the efforts of one Baltimore editor to reconcile opposing views in the 1820 – 1833 period.

The paper was published in American Journalism in 1992 and has been slightly updated since then.
- Niles Weekly Register Encyclopedia of Journalism History, 2006 — Niles' concept of news embraced the broadest scope of human experience. His Register kept close track of economics, technology, science, medicine, geography, archaeology, the weather, and many stories of human interest. There was, for example, a dog who rescued another dog from a river. There was the case of a blind woman restored to sight, and another of a slave who killed himself rather than be sold at the slave market. Niles printed many items about ballooning and predicted that someday man would build machines to fly (although he doubted that steam engines could propel them).
Greenpeace Encyclopedia of Science and Technology Communication, 2009 — Greenpeace raised street theater and protest tactics to a new level using global media. The effect, according to Greenpeace co-founder Robert Hunter, was a "mind bomb" – that is, an action that would create a dramatic new impression to replace an old cliché. The most obvious example of a "mind bomb" was to overturn the image of heroic whalers to that of heroic ecologists risking their lives to save the gentle giants of the sea. This approach caught the world's attention and dramatically changed the political terrain for commercial fishing and whaling operations after Greenpeace's first whaling protests in June of 1975.
