Fr. Elias on the Beheading of St John the Baptist. He points, out as St. Bede points out, that he died more for truth regarding the invalidity of the marriage of Herod to Herodias than for the faith, but Jesus is the truth. So he is witness to Christ. We need to continue to give witness to truth in our morally relativistic age. Ave Maria!

Grow square watermelons in your garden. There are only a few things required to grow your watermelon: 1. Watermelon seeds (Try Sugar Baby variety) 2. A square container 3. Plenty of sunshine and water 4. Grow Watermelons from seed: Plant your watermelon seeds outdoors 2-3 weeks after the last frost. Ideally, the ground should be 65 degrees. Seeds should be planted about one inch deep in soil. Sow 2-3 seeds per hole. That's interesting...
Must try this -- If you put a growing #watermelon in a square container, it will grow into a square shape! I've heard this works with pumpkins too! #square watermelons #gardening tips
Square Watermelon - Try Sugar Baby variety; once your watermelons begin to grow from the vine, place melon in a square container, do not place the container over the watermelon, place the watermelon in the box, it needs to breath

Square Foot Garden. Very well organized, like the companion plants, good mixing of different nitrogen pulling plants throughout the space, wouldn't place the potatoes and watermelon in a square foot garden like this and I don't think they listed supports for the peas.
This not only looks cool, it is way superior to having your pumpkins over run your entire garden! I love that the pumpkins are dangling in the air!
But would this keep my possum from gnawing them all? Hmm. Every year the possums come and chow on everything, except our pumpkins. : )
Plant a compact vegetable garden. This is perfect when you don't have a lot of space. #garden #coolideas #diy
How to Grow Pumpkins: Pumpkins are a warm-season annual that require from 90 to 120 frost-free days to reach harvest. Sow pumpkins in the garden in spring when all danger of frost has passed and the soil temperature has reached 65°F and night air temperatures are above 55°F.

Product description
While the Republic of Cinnabar is at peace with the Alliance, warriors like Lt. Daniel Leary and Signals Officer Adele Mundy must find other work - like escorting a pair of wealthy nobles on an expedition to the back of beyond! The Princess Cecile, the corvette in which they carved their reputations in letters of fire, has been sold as a private yacht, but she still has her guns, her missiles, and her veteran crew. Daniel and Adele will need all of those things as they face winged dragons, an Alliance auxiliary cruiser, jealous lovers, and a mysterious oracle which really does foresee the future. That won't be enough, though, when they penetrate a secret Alliance base and find a hostile fleet ready for a war that will sweep Cinnabar out of a strategically crucial arm of the galaxy. Preventing that will involve skill, courage, and more luck than a sane man could even pray for; and it will require a space battle on a scale that a tiny corvette like the Princess Cecile has no business being involved in. But she'll be in the middle of it anyway, because Daniel, Adele, and their Cinnabar crew would never turn their backs on a fight!

Topic: Grasses or Grass-like
Title: Low-maintenance grass for retention pond
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:I would like to know what would be a low-growing grass to put down for a water retention pond. We have clay and rocky soil. The incline of the sides of the retention pond are about 20 feet with grass bottoms and they hardly ever have water in them. I'm looking for something that is low-maintenance that would only have to be cut once a year or less.
Below are ssuggestions for several grasses and sedges that should work in your retention pond. They are all native to Jefferson County or an adjacent county in Missouri.
Bouteloua dactyloides (Buffalograss) would be an ideal solution as long as the retention pond doesn't hold water often. It grows to only 8 to 12 inches, requires no fertilizer or additional water. It does occur in neighboring St Louis County. Here is one of our How to Articles, Native Lawns: Buffalograss, with more information about the grass and how to plant and care for it.
Digitaria cognata (Carolina crabgrass) is a relatively short grass that is native to Jefferson County. Here is more information from University of Michigan Herbarium and from The Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation.
Hordeum jubatum (Foxtail barley) is an attractive grass that grows to about 20 inches high. Here is more information from Illinois Wildflowers and from Outsidepride.com in Oregon.
Sedges are also a possibility. They usually don't grow as tall as grasses and will usually tolerate growing in very wet soil which could occur in the retention pond. The ones listed below are evergreen or semi-evergreen.
Carex texensis (Texas sedge) is evergreen. Here is more information from Niche Gardens in North Carolina and San Marcos Growers in California.
Carex blanda (Eastern woodland sedge) is evergreen. Here is more information from Illinois Wildflowers and from Missouri Plants.
Carex pensylvanica (Pennsylvania sedge) is semi-evergreen and grows to only 6 to 8 inches high. Here is more information from Illinois Wildflowers and from American Beauty Native Plants in Delaware.
You might try a combination of grasses and sedges at first to see what grows the best in your retention pond area. It will depend on the amount of sun, the soil type and water availability.

Former Ranger and SC Champ Kovalev: NHL is boring
Here you have a intervju with former Rangerplayer and Stanley Cup winner A.Kovalev
He sais that NHL has changed and becomed boring.
Its from Sweedish tv, but al the talk with Kovalev is in english.
More like his play had changed and HE became boring. :handclap:
It was all a downhill bore after Keenan gave him the Endless Shift.
That 6 minute shift... he thought Keenan was rewarding him, not teaching him a lesson. Totally backfired.
He kept on taking 2 minute shifts on a regular basis like he did before this Keenan incident. It took him years to figure out that NHLers don't do 2 minute shifts every time they go on the ice.
He's not completely wrong.
who cares.
It is boring compared to when Kovalev entered the league. It has become a league that focuses less on great and creative players than defensive systems.
You don't see Jagr complaining about the NHL being boring, you see him tearing it up on the first line of a competitive NHL team.
It hasn't been that since the Debbies ruined creativity beginning in 1995. Their success was bad for the league.
ITT: An aging Alexi Kovalev blames his declining play on the "New NHL".
I'm sure Kovy went to Russia because they have a better, more exciting product over there.
I remember when Steve Larmer retired in 1995, he mentioned that hockey got boring and wasn't fun anymore.
Over the years, I always wondered how the 1995-96 season would have went had he stayed. The one thing we were missing that year (where we spent weeks on end during the winter leading the league in points) was two-way veteran presence on the second or third line.
That's why we gave up so much to get Kurri, who was washed up by then.
If Larmer stayed, I really think there's a good chance we'd have won the Cup that year, especially if Robitaille didn't have his two worst seasons in Ranger uniform, but even with Robitaille struggling, I still say we could have won it all with Larmer still in the lineup.
Graves - Messier - Verbeek
Robitaille - Ferraro - Kovalev
Sundstrom - Nemchinov - Larmer
Langdon - Lapperiere - Kocus
Presley, Kypreos
That's a hell of a lineup, definitely good enough to win the Cup.
side note: I know you didn't state that, just projecting what people might say
I.e. let's see where Yakupov and Grigorenko end up. I'll bet dollars to donuts that it ain't in the KHL.
Haven't listened to the interview, but do agree that the NHL is much more boring than before the latest round of expansion started (with San Jose). It's all a chess match now, with defensive systems and players grinding it out. Plus, given the increase in the size of the players, the ice surface seems smaller every year. And with expansion, there are a lot more players with less talent playing more minutes.
All and all, parity sucks.
I agree with Kovalev. Bettman has wussified the game. from the hooking calls when the hand is just tapped to the instigator penalty. Lucic took liberties on Miller last week because he knew no one was going to jump him. this is one of the reasons why there are more head injuries because players dont care because they know they wont pay a price.take away the instigator penalty and let the players police themselves and you will see alot less cheap shots.
I don't know what he means by boring. Does he mean there's not enough scoring? Not enough hitting? Not enough bad blood or rivalries between the teams?
I'll tell you though, there are a couple of factors that certainly aren't helping the "entertainment" factor.
1. Crosby being out indefinitely and Malkin being in and out of the lineup with injuries. Those are two top 5 scorers we're missing out on.
2. Ovechkin not being the dominant and electrifying player he was the first couple of seasons.
Anyone want to explain the endless shift to me?
I flat out do not understand why he would say that. Literally clueless.
Maybe that explains why he always decided to show up only half of the time.

Conditions InDepth: Gout
Gout is a form of arthritis caused by a build up of crystals in the joint. It most often affects the joint of the big toe, but can but it can affect other joints as well. Gout may occur in a single attack or become a recurrent problem. During acute attacks, gout can cause pain, swelling, and redness in the affected joint. Periods between acute attacks are usually symptom-free.Over time, gout can cause permanent damage to the affected joints and the kidneys. Gout can also create a collection of crystals under the skin called tophi. The tophi are visible lumps under the skin that can show up anywhere in the body and become tender during acute attacks. Fortunately, these long term factors are less likely to occur with proper treatment. The earlier gout is detected and treated, the better it can be managed.
CausesGout is caused by the build-up of uric acid crystals in and around a joint. Crystals often form because of high levels of uric acid in the blood.Uric acid is created and released into the blood during the breakdown of a substance in food called purines. The uric acid is then filtered out of the blood through the kidneys and passes out of the body through urine. Higher than normal levels of uric acid in the blood may be caused by:
- Impaired ability to clear the uric acid in the kidneys, which may occur with kidney damage or disease
- Increased production of uric acid, which may be caused by one or more of the following:
- Excess consumption of foods high in purines like steak, seafood, and organ meats
- Consumption of foods that encourage high uric acid levels, such as alcohol or sugary drinks
- Certain medications, such as diuretics, salicylate containing medications (like aspirin), niacin, or levodopa
- Medical conditions such as high blood pressure , hypothyroidism , Kelley-Seegmiller syndrome or Lesch-Nyhan syndrome

A meta-analysis found that mothers participating in a prenatal exercise group were less likely to have a large newborn, less likely to need a cesarean section, and no more likely to have a low birthweight baby than those who did not exercise. The study supports proper prenatal care advice which advocates for mothers to exercise during pregnancy if allowed by the physician.

The first instance of this opening is in an 1855 game by Moheschunder Bannerjee, an Indian player who had transitioned from Indian chess rules, playing black against John Cochrane in Calcutta, in May 1855: 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 d5 4.e3 Bg7 5.Nf3 0-0 6.cxd5 Nxd5 7.Be2 Nxc3 8.bxc3 c5 9.0-0 cxd4 10.cxd4 Nc6 11.Bb2 Bg4 12.Rc1 Rc8 13.Ba3 Qa5 14.Qb3 Rfe8 15.Rc5 Qb6 16.Rb5 Qd8 17.Ng5 Bxe2 18.Nxf7 Na5 and White mates in three (19.Nh6+ double check Kh8 20.Qg8+ Rxg8 21.Nf7#).[1][2]. Cochrane published a book reporting his games with Moheshchunder and other Indians in 1864.
It gained popularity however, after Ernst Grünfeld introduced it into international play at Vienna 1922, where, in his first game with the defense, he defeated future world champion Alexander Alekhine.[3] Interestingly, Grünfeld usually employed a very classical style. The defence was later adopted by a number of prominent players, includingVasily Smyslov, Viktor Korchnoi and Bobby Fischer. Garry Kasparov often used the defence, including in his World Championship matches against Anatoly Karpov in 1986, 1987 and 1990, and Vladimir Kramnik in 2000. Currently active notable players who employ the opening include Loek Van Wely, Peter Svidler, Peter Leko, Vishwanathan Anand and Luke McShane.[4] Anand employed it twice in the World Chess Championship 2010.
The Game of the Century between Donald Byrne and 13-year old Bobby Fischer on October 17, 1956, featured this opening, although arriving in the Grünfeld via atransposition of moves (using 1.Nf3 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.d4 O-O 5.Bf4 d5).

ST. GEORGE, Utah (AP) Inmate Brian McCluskey almost found heaven at the Purgatory Correctional Facility. He thought a bag of M&Ms he earned for helping with chores at the jail was a winner in a million-dollar national contest.
But McCluskey was only a first-place winner instead of a grand prize winner, meaning he apparently will receive a coupon for a free 16 oz. bag of M&Ms instead of the $1 million.
A spokeswoman for M&M Mars confirmed Wednesday that another person had been verified as the grand prize winner, meaning if McCluskey does have a winning bag, it's only redeemable for the free candies.
McCluskey is serving a one-year jail sentence for attempted possession of methamphetamine.
The rumor of McCluskey's good fortune spurred a national news frenzy, with Deputy Julie Pugmire appearing on NBC's "Today Show."
Pugmire gave the candy to McCluskey as a reward for helping her pass out commissary items.
When he opened the bag Friday, the 27-year-old found candies that were sky blue, white, purple colors he'd never seen before. Other inmates told him he might have won M&Ms' "Fix-Up the Mix-Up" contest, which they had seen advertised on television.
Pat D'Amato, a spokeswoman for the candy company, based in Hackettstown, N.J., said a family of four had been verified as the million-dollar winners.
She said they asked not to be identified, even by where they live. They purchased the candies at a Kmart store and plan to use the money to remodel their home and finance their children's' college education.

Bill Self named Naismith Coach of the Year
Apr 1, 2012, 2:31 PM EDT
Bill Self has been lauded all season long for the coaching performance he has had this season, and on Sunday he was rewarded.
Self won the Naismith Award for the National Coach of the Year.
It is a well-deserved honor. Self lost the majority of his roster to graduation or the NBA last season which, when combined with the three members of his recruiting class that were ruled ineligible prior to the season, left Self without depth or playing experience. Despite that, he has managed to get the Jayhawks to the National Title game after winning his fourth straight outright Big 12 title and a share of the title for the eighth straight season.
More impressive, however, has been his performance in the tournament, where adjustments — switching to a triangle and two defensively — he made against both Purdue and UNC were the difference in the game.

Topic: Deer Resistant
Title: Food for deer and turkey in Oklahoma
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:We recently moved to NE Oklahoma from Texas and have 7 acres, a lot of wild turkeys and wild deer. About 2-3 acres are open, with sun and partial to lots of shade as the rest is heavily wooded. What can I plant in the open areas that deer and turkey like?
ANSWER:It is a pleasure to tell someone about plants that deer like, instead of trying to find plants that deer won't eat! Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service publication, Ecology and Management of Deer in Oklahoma, shows a list of "Some Preferred Native Foods" and Texas Parks and Wildlife has a publication, White-tailed Deer Managment in the Texas Hill Country, that also has a list in Appendix B of favorite deer browse. Here are a few of the suggestions from these lists:
Quercus shumardii (Shumard's oak) and other oaks for their acorns.
Celtis laevigata var. reticulata (netleaf hackberry)
Diospyros virginiana (common persimmon)
Cornus drummondii (roughleaf dogwood)
Cornus florida (flowering dogwood)
Rhus aromatica (fragrant sumac) and Rhus lanceolata (prairie sumac), as well as other sumacs.
Prosopis glandulosa (honey mesquite)
As it turns out, wild turkey like much the same food as deer along with the addition of grasses, especiallly in the Panicum sp. and Paspalum sp. Here are are a few species of these particular grasses that occur in Oklahoma:
Panicum capillare (witchgrass)
Panicum hallii (Hall's panicgrass)
Panicum virgatum (switchgrass)
Paspalum floridanum (Florida paspalum)
You can read more about creating and maintaining habitat for turkeys in the publication from the Texas Department of Parks and Wildlife, Post Oak Savannah and Blackland Prairie Wildlife Management—Wild Turkey.

Mapping our way
I got an email from my dad this week. It's not unusual. In fact, I get several notes a day from him. He's retired to become a mass distributor of funny or newsy Internet links.
But this one was a little different. It was a story with a very colorful map of what the author of the article claimed was the state of North Atlantic fisheries in 1900. The next map jumped the reader to a very paltry showing of the same stocks in 2000. It was all based on and touting the "catastrophic" findings of a 2003 study.
Instantly, my blood was boiling. How could anyone (especially my own father) be touting these "studies" as fishery science? Without stock assessments from 1900 (which we most assuredly did not perform), there is no way to compare the health of stocks back then to the health of stocks now.
Some would say that we can only assume fish stocks were more robust then because look how big the landings were! But to that I say, fishermen have always responded to shifts in fish populations. If you went out searching for scup and found monkfish, then you landed monkfish until the scup came back. (For more on creative fisheries, check out Denise Trunk's coverage of Georgia jellyball fishermen on page 17.) Fishery management was executed at sea and on the markets.
Regardless of any of that 2003 study's specious data, no one can argue that we haven't turned this boat around. NOAA's now-retired top fisheries scientist Steve Murawski said 2010 was the first year since we've kept records that no U.S. stocks were being overfished. There is always room for improvement, but I am so proud of this industry for the strides it has made in the last 20 years.
That said, I hope the regulatory bodies overseeing fishing will come along with the scientists and fishermen who have reached out to bridge the gap and create synergy where there once was antipathy.
NOAA's enforcement scandal is a black mark on the agency. Because swift action is no longer possible, I hope some sort of fallout will result from the abhorrent and abusive behavior of some agents working for NOAA's policing arm. An apology is not enough. Promises to do better are not enough. Ruining people's livelihoods and business reputations calls for the dismissal of those responsible.
I hope a recent study of the New England Fishery Management Council will result in positive changes for the council, its stakeholders and fishery management across the country. Maine columnists Anne Hayden and Philip Conkling highlight the council's review process in From the Town Landing on page 9.
The pendulum is swinging. Somewhere in these wild arcs is a happy medium.

Small Business
In a farm streambed in the foothills of Mt Pirongia, a "thwump thwump thwump" sound is accompanied by fountains of water spraying out of a pump with mechanical regularity.
Engineer Kevin Smith and his right-hand man Mark Rickerby are tinkering with it, experimenting, to see if they can make it more efficient.
"Just recently they've been coming out a fair bit," says farmer Michael Kent, who owns the land and the pump.
It's called a rampump, which in itself isn't an original invention. But Smith says it's the most powerful rampump design in the world, and it can change lives.
A rampump operates without electricity. All it has is a pipe entering the pump, two valves, and a pipe running out.
It uses kinetic energy generated by water going down a small drop, and forces a smaller amount of water up a much larger slope. The excess water fountains out and runs back into the stream.
Smith, who owns the rights to this particular pump design, says his rampumps leave others for dead.
"There's people pumping up to 200 feet and they think that's a long way; 200 metres is nothing for us."
In fact, there's one in Kaikoura that rams the water up 420m of elevation with 600psi of pressure.
Kent's farm pump only has to elevate the water 60m, but it's been moving 51,000 litres of water into the farm storage tank every day for the last 16 years.
The pump, called the Williamson Hi-Flo Rampump, was designed by Hamilton man Owen Williamson who ran the business until Smith bought him out about 10 years ago.
"Owen's a genius type inventor, a mad type inventor. And I say that affectionately," says Smith.
Smith was running his father's steelworks business in Ngaruawahia building horse trucks when he was introduced to Williamson. He saw an opportunity to move the business into a different market and took it.
"When I took over the rampumps the horse trucks were our primary business. Now we're pretty much 100 per cent rampumps. And it's just going to keep on growing. The potential is just huge."
There are more than 2000 Williamson rampumps operating in New Zealand, and Smith expects to install another 40 this year.
He acknowledges that selling them is hard work and time intensive. Each site requires about two days of surveying and calculating before installation can even begin.
Smith says the second biggest pump he sells costs $10,500, and could easily save a farmer $6000 a year in electricity.
"Effectively this pump pays for itself. It's as close to perpetual motion as you're ever going to get."
Though he's busy running around the countryside in New Zealand surveying and installing pumps, Smith wants to take them to the global market.
"We get correspondence daily from all around the world," he says. "Our big push at the moment is to go into Latin America."
Up until now, Smith and Rickerby were manufacturing and installing the pumps themselves, but they recently signed a deal to outsource manufacturing to two Hamilton companies.
The plan is for Rickerby to take over the New Zealand operation while Smith pushes sales overseas.
He spent the first two months of the year in Panama, Costa Rica and the United States.
There are already a few Williamson rampumps overseas, with some notable examples in far-flung Cambodia and Vanuatu.
Smith installed the Vanuatu pump in a village called Epule in 2011, funded by aid money from the New Zealand and Australian governments.
Smith says about 500kg of equipment was carried on foot through the bush to the village, but it was worth the effort to "completely alter" the lives of the locals.
"When I left they had running water in the village."
An American businessman contacted Smith to install the pump in Cambodia. That businessman is now living in Panama, and is working with Smith to broker deals in South America.
"We're looking at 70 to 100 units initially to go in there," says Smith.
He wants to market to farmers and remote communities, but no sales have been made yet.
"I'll be back up there towards the end of this year," says Smith.

"This house is beautifully decorated, clean, and has up to date construction. Walking in you feel instantly relaxed and pampered. The kitchen has great gadgets for cooking including our families favorite, the waffle iron. The great outdoor patio has comfortable chairs. We enjoyed sipping wine at sunset and looking at the beautiful view. We also really liked that the river (with well kept hiking trails) was basically in the house's back yard. The house's layout is perfect for families. There is an upstairs living room with games, a TV, and fold out bed that kids like to hangout in. The master suit is very spacious and has an incredible bathroom with large soaking tub that will melt your cares away. I highly recommend staying at this property."Guest: Nurse Tara Date of Stay: September 2014 Review Submitted: March 11, 2015View listing

My only negative comments are that the dishwasher is incredibly noisy and does not do a good job of cleaning, and the motor for the hot tub goes on and off all night and it noisy as well.

Massachusetts State Legislature
"A new place to call home"
"Lessons from the field"
The Massachusetts legislature last month selected Val Asbedian, who had led the state's House of Representatives information technology group since last fall, to become its first chief information officer.
The appointment not only centralizes and consolidates four legislative IT groups under Asbedian but also signals that lawmakers are becoming increasingly aware of technology's role in society, he said.
Asbedian believes the CIO has two functions. One is to manage, budget and improve technology and train personnel to use it. "But the other part of [the role is that it] provides a place in which the legislators can go for technical advice... when you have legislation that is related to privacy, security, online government [or] e-government," he said previously.
"The job...may not start that way, but I see [it] over the long run as being a place where there's advice that can be shared with policy-makers in their decision-making process," he said. Such a role is especially important as states compete with one another and internationally to attract business, he added.
Asbedian's top priority is ensuring that a new $4 million Web-based legislative management system meets its requirements and that his staff can operate it. He was instrumental in developing the proposal while with the state's information technology division, which is overseeing implementation of the system.
House Speaker Thomas Finneran said he sees the CIO as an adviser to legislative committees, including homeland security, by dealing with technology-related legislation.
"Massachusetts is very proud of its e-government initiative," he said. "The appointment of the legislative CIO will allow us to keep pace with the challenges and opportunities that technology affords us. The new legislative management system, which Val will oversee, will allow us to provide greater public access in a more efficient and cost-effective manner."
Minnesota state Sen. Steve Kelley, who has been involved with technology issues in his state and with the National Conference of State Legislatures, said legislatures have historically had two technology positions for each chamber to manage information systems.
There could be an argument to combine such positions and save resources, "but given the size of most legislatures, you have to ask the question: Do integration costs result in maintaining separate systems?" he said.
Although lawmakers are always looking for more sources of IT information, he said it might be a greater challenge for a legislative CIO to offer that kind of advice.
"The issues are so different from one area to another," Kelley said. "Privacy and computer security cuts across lines, but online learning is a different issue than telemedicine, and that's a different issue than consolidation of data centers. It's hard for a single legislative officer to give you the kind of insight you need on how information technology can be used."
