By extension, we are also well within our rights to drag NCsoft, with its history and all its mistakes into the spotlight simply because we can.

Nice, so they could have had 10,000 people playing 2 months before shutdown and was down to 9,500 at shutdown. OMG they retained SOOOOO many people, proof it shouldnt have happned right? WRONG. That is not how business works. They compare quarter over quarter and year over year. if each quarter shows a steady drop and year over year shows a drop with no chance of change in the coming quarters...its axe time.
So, maybe that last month over month they retained 95-98%...but what was it the month before? how about the month before that? If it was a CONSTANT, that means every single month they were LOSING 2-5% of its playerbase. Over a year long period that is 24-60% of players LEAVING.
Yeah...think about the flip side for a minute.

On the matter of retention, I have noticed this plenty of times: People leave City of Heroes to try something else (even I'm guilty of it) but before long, they come back to CoH. There was a stage where I was the only member of my SG still actively player, but over time everyone came back, along with a few new people.
I'm not sure how accurate the retention thing is, it's likely high as former players would likely dip back in from time to time to play it once it went F2P, but it was clear to me with personal experience that people would happily come back to CoH.

Pretty much this. One of the biggest strengths CoH had was that not only was it easy to get into, it was also easy to get back into. If you look around, you'll see plenty of posts from people describing how they left to try out MMO XYZ and came back when it didn't live up to expectations.

NCSoft is a poorly run studio. They have a very inflated view of what their products are worth. A smart corporation would have disposed of Tabula Rasa and City of Heroes, you have to know that there are respectable buyers out there. Sitting on them is fiscal idiocy. The studio is run by a bunch of nutcases.
NCsoft is a publisher. Studios are the sub-organizations it owns that actually make stuff - NCsoft just pulls the strings.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't consistently profitable. Assuming a minimal staff and server cost, the $4 million overhead seems reasonable. (About the same as a small development project I was on.) And the earnings report shows about the same for revenue, so it was about a break-even or losing business, with little chance of bringing in a lot more money.

I thought we were discussing the details. You want to use numbers when you think they suit your case, but when your numbers don't show what you want you throw out the use of numbers.
Along with many others, I would like to learn the truth of what happened to CoH. If that curiosity along with spotting math errors makes me rabid in your book, well then I guess I feel sorry for you.
From everything I have seen so far, NCSoft misjudged this whole thing from the beginning and made a bad call and they are trying their best to save face and obfuscate what happened as best they can to hide this fact.

I'd say the chances are pretty close to zero.
The game was making less and less money every year. To the point that NCSoft thought about shutting the game down. Why would another publisher want to buy a game that has lost the majority of its profit making potential? They would be buying the game so it could wind down and become a liability a lot quicker than having a new game written.
Paragon Studios could run CoH, but they would not be in a position to develop a new game. Not while running CoH at the same time. This would not make them attractive to anyone as a development house. The only product would be the game itself, which wasn't worth enough for NCSoft to keep it running.
Not to mention that it would take a publisher with five to ten million dollars sitting around to buy the game and the studio. It would require an investor to have the money to buy the game, and an investor isn't going to green light a game that another investor doesn't think is worth keeping running.
I'll say it again, it's not a mystery. The game just wasn't financially worth running and selling it would waste even more money. They didn't shut the game down to be mean, they did it to not lose money.
I can not remember winning or losing a single debate on the internet.

You're right - but at the same time, also not.
See, NCsoft is hugely successful, but only in Korea. A quick glance at their revenue breakdowns by region will show you that anything outside the Korean market - especially NA and EU regions - are barely a blip on the radar, with brief exceptions when they push new releases. So while they know and pretty much have a choke-hold on Korean-style grinders {and just so we're absolutely clear, I've got no beef with Korean MMO players and their tastes - if that's what they enjoy, then who am I to argue}, but that doesn't sell nearly as well anywhere outside of Korea. Yet that's what they keep trying to push on everyone, maybe in some desperate, deluded hope that if they just keep throwing enough of them at the wall, one will stick. They made MMOs that broke away from the mold and released them outside of Korea, but they never bothered supporting them - how many players would recognize the names of the four MMOs it killed off before CoH? Heck, how many can you name?
So yes, for all their success, they're poorly run. They don't understand anything outside their tiny specialized niche - they don't seem to want to understand anything outside it. Their way is the way, and from their perspective, it's not their failure that they're not a worldwide success, it's everyone else's for not getting on with the program.

Because there was plenty of profit-making potential? Hell, the genre alone would be worth millions - the superhero trend is still going strong, and even the big-budget hitters like DCUO have been quickly floundering. CoH's supposed declining population could easily be chalked up to an increasingly crowded MMO market, coupled with the fact that NCsoft barely ever bothered to even market it. If you asked a CoH player how they found the game, nine out of ten would probably tell you it came recommended by a friend or family or some other word of mouth. Add actual marketing into the mix, and the player influx would have exploded. Compare it with GW2 - NCsoft ran ads for it in the Hobbit showings - are you going to tell me that showing an ad for a make-your-own-superhero MMO at theaters showing the Avengers wouldn't have been worth the investment? Instead, NCsoft simply couldn't have been bothered. That, or the decision to axe it had already been made, profits be damned.
Second, you say that Paragon Studios wouldn't have been able to develop another game while still running CoH - and yet, they've been doing exactly that for years now.

As someone who had a CoH subscription for 8.5 years without interruption, I damn well KNOW that it was not losing people every month. On the day of the closure announcement it was /far/ healthier than it had been two years previously. Why all the NCSoft suckups escapes me. They have a horrible history. Why would anyone trust them for a single moment?
As for me, you can add me to the will never, ever buy or play an NCSoft product again.

I think the game was making money, but its profit margin wasn't increasing and was likely slowly decreasing. NCSoft could have kept it going, but they may have wanted to focus on the future.
Maybe they had better use for the resources the game was using. Wouldn't you rather put time/money into something you think will grow and/or give you high profits for a time then deal with a game that's making only a little bit of money?
Originally posted by Ryowulf
But that begs the question, what resources? What money?
None of it was reused - no development reassignments, no way to reuse the IP. The game was profitable and supporting itself - closing it down was a net loss. So the only way to salvage something from the closure would be to sell the IP - something that NCsoft refuses to do.
Logical, it ain't.

If there were no super hero MMOs, then you could say that there's lots of potential. There have been three super hero MMOs, and it just didn't work. It doesn't really matter why, but the proof, as they say, is in the pudding. Right there. Three games, three mediocre performance records.
I'm pretty happy with the super hero movies, but that doesn't mean anything in regards to the MMOs. Just because people like watching super hero movies doesn't mean they want to play a super hero in a game.
Finally, Paragon Studios added to the existing code base of Heroes. They had to or Villains and Going Rogue wouldn't work with Heroes. They've been writing updates, not new games.

There are good business reasons not to release assets. There are good reasons to shut down a marignally profitible asset. There are other considerations and factors in making business decisions than just is it profitible.
There could be and likely are unknown factors in making this decision. Even the inside anonymous source likely doesn't know all the considerations being made by NCSoft in Korea.

Compare prices, star ratings, and customer reviews to find the best deals on hotels in Maui, Hawaii, with Travelocity today! Whether you're looking to stay at a luxurious five-star resort or a comfortable hotel, you can find discounted rooms quickly and easily with Travelocity. Look for the best rate, and be sure to consider your itinerary. Do you want to stay on the beach, to explore the greater island, or to spend your time snorkeling? Consider local attractions when choosing from a list of cheap hotels. Maui is the second-largest Hawaiian island, and the locals celebrate both American pastimes and native traditions. This amazing mix of cultures leans against the backdrop of a truly breathtaking landscape, with more than 120 miles of shoreline and more than 2 million visitors per year. Take advantage of our Maui hotel deals today and dive into the splendor of this American paradise.
Enjoy the Sun and Sand
The island of Maui has more than 80 beaches, so that gives you plenty of opportunity to sink your toes into the sand. Maui hotels and resorts often border these beautiful beaches, so definitely look for a beachfront (or poolside) view. Regardless of where you end up staying, you can take advantage of many of the public beaches. A tourist favorite is Kaanapali Beach (or Black Rock Beach), which is famous for its white sands, crystal-clear water, resorts, and golf courses. If you're looking for a great sunset view, travel a bit further up the coast to Napili Beach. It's a favorite location for honeymooners. Follow the coast even further to the northern end of the island to Ho'okipa Beach Park, which is world-famous for surfing and windsurfing. Even if you don't know how to "hang ten," you can watch the rad people who can there. On the southern end of the island is Makena State Park, which houses Oneloa Beach (or Big Beach), which is another great swimming and surfing destination.
Go Out on an Inland Adventure
Venture inland during your stay in Maui, Hawaii. Hotels on the beach are great, but it's also important to wander and explore what else the island has to offer. Take a pleasure cruise in a rental car along the coast on the famous road to Hana, or Route 36. You may want to stop at several key spots along the way just to snap a photo or take in the sights. You could also go for an adventure at Kipahulu National Park, which houses waterfalls, bamboo trails, and the 'Ohe'o Gulch pools. There's also the breathtaking 'Iao Valley State Monument, which adds some local history to your experience, and the Wai'anapanapa State Park, which doesn't have white sandy beaches but remote black-sand beaches.
Get the Hawaiian Peace of Mind
If there's one thing to do during your stay in Maui besides taking the road to Hana, it's viewing the giant crater at Haleakala National Park. Experience the fascinating feeling of standing above the clouds. Get up to watch the sunrise; it's worth it. You can also experience a bit of serenity while walking through the Garden of Eden Botanical Garden or while taking in the smells and sights of the tranquil fields at Ali'i Kula Lavender. While you're traveling inland, be sure to stop by the more-than-130-year-old Banyan Tree to say "aloha" to something that's older than any human being alive.
Appreciate Local Wildlife
Snorkeling and interacting with local wildlife is a favorite activity in Maui. Whether you're looking at sea turtles, humpback whales, dolphins, fish, or coral reefs, it's important to give these creatures the respect they deserve. Observe some of this wildlife without having to dive at the Maui Ocean Center, or take to the seas while whale-watching with the Pacific Whale Foundation. Be sure to have fun while snorkeling with a local group like Maui Snorkel Charters.
See Great Live Entertainment
On a rare rainy day or during the nights, Maui has a lot to offer in terms of live entertainment. Elvis fans can appreciate Burn'n Love, performed by a world-renowned Elvis impersonator, Darren Lee. For a mystical evening, be sure to check out Warren & Annabelle's Magic Show or Kupanaha Maui Magic Dinner Theater. On the other hand, if you're looking for an old-fashioned Polynesian luau, check out the Feast at Lele.
Explore in Your Own Way
There are hundreds of ways to explore the island of Maui. Hotels Maui has to offer can provide you with an excellent starting point, but from the time you step out of the door, you can find your own method for wandering. Enjoy horseback riding on the beaches with Lahaina Stables, bike across the many gorgeous roads with Haleakala Bike Company, or traverse the green inland while hiking with Hike Maui. Explore the ocean as well. You could do so by kayaking or stand-up paddle-boarding with Hawaiian Paddle Sports, while surfing with Maui Surfer Girls or the Royal Hawaiian Surf Academy, via sailboat with Trilogy Excursions, or via raft with Redline Rafting Company. Take to the skies as well; you could sail through the air at Flyin Hawaiian Zipline or Kapalua Ziplines or get an excellent view via helicopter with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters.
Savor Local Flavors
While you're in town, be sure to check out the favorite dishes of Maui. From SPAM musubi to ahi poke, you can find many interesting, fun, and unique flavors if you know where to look. Try seafood dishes at Mama's Fish House Restaurant, tacos at Coconut's Fish Cafe, prime rib at Kimo's, a burger at Cool Cat Cafe, or poke at The Fish Market Maui or Eskimo Candy Seafood Market & Cafe. For dessert, go out for shaved ice at Ululani's Shaved Ice or pie at Leoda's Kitchen and Pie Shop.
Visit Anytime
Maui is a great place to visit year-round, with average temperatures ranging between the 60s and 80s. Travelers from the mainland love to visit during the winter months, which often are the best times for whale-watching. Summer in Maui often involves local festivals, such as the Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar Festival. The fall and spring months are some of the best times to go, with fewer tourists and many great deals to be found. While browsing for local hotels in Maui, be sure to also check out our vacation packages, which can bundle a flight, car rental, and hotel stay into one low price!

Pitt-Bradford ended up winning the race, with four of their runners in the top 10, but it was Medaille's Brandon Rebert who finished in first, with a time of 30:58.
The 6K women's race had a Hilbert runner finish high in placing. Maria Linares finished the race in 5th place, recording a time of 31:29. D'Youville runners claimed the first two spots in the race, and ultimately came in 1st place for the invitational. The top two runners were Melyssa Peplowski (28:36)and Candice Price (30:32). Hilbert's other runners were: Tiana Cheasman (40:06), Sarah Lorusso (43:55), Jenna Labuski (46:13), Stephanie Smith (1:01:35), and Jill Cohen (1:07:45).
Next up for both squads is the CCOC Championships on October 15 at 11am at Seneca Lake State Park in Geneva, hosted by William Smith College.

The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone.

That's a very flattering shot of me showing off that "reverse liposuction" procedure that Red Leader talked me into getting. You can obviously see that the operation was a success.

General Scholarship Information
It is the intent of Fairmont State University to promote and foster the highest degree of scholarship from our students. To assist students in this effort, we award scholarships primarily on talent, merit and need. The objective of Fairmont's scholarship program is to foster the recruitment and retention of a diverse student body with special talents.
Scholarships are provided through the Fairmont State Foundation and their generous donors and Institutional Funds. They are awarded based on various criteria that may be determined by donors, programs of study, or institutional scholarship committees.
The Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships also administers scholarship aid delivery for a wide range of externally-funded and managed merit- and need-based scholarships received by students.
Scholarships for talent and academic merit are very competitive. Each applicant is judged against all others applying for the same scholarship. So, be outstanding! Some scholarships are based solely on academic achievement, leadership and/or other contributions without reference to financial need. Others are earmarked for those who present strong academic and leadership potential and have demonstrated need.
Some scholarships are available for renewal for up to four years, but you may need to submit an application each year. Others may only be available for freshmen or sophomores. Whatever the requirements, be sure you apply on time and submit complete application packets.
To Apply
You need to complete and submit the scholarship application to the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships by the first Monday in February prior to the Fall Semester. The application is available under financial aid forms or may also be picked up from the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships or Student Services in the Turley Student Services Center. All scholarships will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis until funds are exhausted. Funding is limited.
Scholarships are judged on complete and neat applications, Community Service (list each activity) or Civic Engagement, participation in extra-curricular activities such as school clubs and sports, and content and presentation of required Essay.
Numerous scholarships are available from private and corporate sources. Too numerous to list, you may research the many offerings through the use of library or computerized resources.

Nealey, this is a beautiful drawing of a sweet child. You have captured that innocence that makes us all know why we had kids. Yes they grow up fast! It is a tricky pose too. good work.
Thank you all for the good words on the boats.
Today I finished Bonnie's kitty. Probably not the best likeness but fun to do. 10x10 oil on canvas. A bit wet still.
Jen C & C's always welcome
Hello Nealey.
thanks for your comments about my work....I haven't been painting with w/colours for long. but they don't take much time or space.
Your graphite drawing is lovely and very sensitive...I really believe you have to know the person to do them justice which was why I always avoided taking on portraiture commissions.
Going on a tour of Castles and Gardens..South East England...so yes...hope the weather is good but I will take by brolly anyway.
feel free to make constructive c/c...no digital alterations please
Hello Jen,
the cat looks as if it has been 'up to London to look at the Queen'...makes a pleasing composition posing behind the flowers.
Jen, love your painting of Missy,it is beautiful and looks just like her. She liked to lay there in the sun and watch for humming birds. The backlighting is very well done. This is so nice, I'm very happy you did this one, it brings back lots of memories of her.
Bonnie C & C most welcome / appreciated
Nealey, wonderful drawing of your grandson. You have captured his softness as you mentioned near the end of his time of being a baby. I think I can feel the love for your subject in this. Very nice.
Nealey wonderful drawing of your Grandson. You are so good with a pencil.
jen great job on Bonnie's cat. He looks so comfy in the sun and watching every move.
C&Cs always welcome

Kim, thank you for your comment on the bull.
Thanks everyone!
Well I haven't heard from Marsha and I have e-mailed twice so have to assume she is still not well. I am off to see the grands this weekend I am not sure how long I will be gone maybe two weeks maybe one. Curly one has broken his elbow in two places and has had his running and jumping put on hold! Granny is needed to keep him entertained!
Either way I shall not be here to put another a Challenge together. So as so many of you have been gone we could Cary the current Challenge over another month or one of you could take over June. Alex said she would still do July.
so I am handing off to you guys to decide. If you need help start a conversation. I will have my iPad but cannot put a challenge together on it. I need the mainframe for that.
Thanks, Jen
I am going to have finished university from the 27th May, so on the 28th I could try and throw a challenge together perhaps. I can use some of my photos, and get a few others from the public domain to fit a theme.
Alternatively, we could carry this one over into the next month. It would allow me a chance to be able to paint some of these photos too.
C&c are welcome! Love what you do.
Love who you are. Love nature. Love art.
Thanks Thunk, I think letting it run is fine but maybe see what others think. It is not hard to do a challenge. I know your use of the computer is a little limited can you make a file and save images to it!? You just have to copy and paste the preamble at the top of the challenge and then change the challenge number, date and any theme or challenge then upload and name the pictures and who took them.Several here have done one and can help. Bonnie, Gerri, Kim. Anyway wait and see if anyone else has a comment. I leave on Sunday.
Jen ~ You did a fine job of Bonnie's kitty in oils. I also like the backlighting effect around her shape. Nice!
As for the June challenge, ( already - lordy!) I would be happy to have the challenge carry over to June. We haven't had much participation. I know it's finally the good season for most of us to get outside.
Have a wonderful stay with your grands, Jen. Maybe you can teach the Curly one how to paint, since he's on the DL.
Comments and critiques are welcome.
JEN, KAREN, BONNIE, SARAH & CHARLIE ~ Thank you all for your lovely comments on my drawing of my grandbaby. Thanx for looking!

Yes, my computer works fine now, and I have become accustomed to putting photos up. Lets see what other people think for the time being though.
Sorry to hear Marsha is not able to host. I hope she is okay. Thunk Thank you for offering to step in. I'm okay with whatever is decided. Hopefully I can find some time to participate.

Deigo isnt that much stronger then Mach, Mach cuts like crazy to make 163 and probably is more suited to 170 then any other LW.Originally Posted by Rockx

I think this fight is about 50/50. It depends on which Diego shows up. If the Diego that fought Riggs, Florian, Diaz, Gassaway, and Karo comes to fight, Sakurai will have his hands full. If the Diego that fought Alessio and Koscheck shows up, then Diego might not walk out of that octagon.
Abashed the Devil stood and felt how awful goodness is...
this could be a really good fight if it happens. hope it is true
This will be a great fight.
But after reading some of these comments on the fight, it just go to show how many ignorant MMA fans there are on the internet.
If you don't like Sanchez thats fine, I don't like him either. But to say Sakurai will run over him is just stupid. Sanchez looked spectacular against two of the best WW in the division (Karo, Diaz) and then lost a decision to one of the best over-all athletes in the sport while having a serious staff infection.
Sanchez will over power Sakurai and win by TKO in the third round.
Sakurai is a showman, and to his credit; he'll make Diego look decent before putting an end to his consciousness at a time that's convenient for him.Originally Posted by piss ant
A lot of people would say both those bouts with Diego (Karo / Diaz) could've gone either way. Some would say Karo didn't train enough and didn't have the cardio; the implication being that he could half-ass train and give Diego a run for his money.
As for the decision loss to Koscheck; well, that was a horrible enough showing on Diego's part to really overshadow any 'spectacular' performances he may have had.
Sakurai is bad news for anyone at 170; and if Diego didn't overpower and TKO Karo or Diaz, he won't be overpowering and KO'ing Sakurai.
While I think Diego is going to come back angrier and training harder than ever before. If this fight goes down, no amount of pre-fight praying, or snarling, is gonna save him.
usually fighters come back from a bad loss with a big win. so i would go with diego. everyone said the same thing about cro cop/gonzaga with the quick ko, but this is the year of the upset. whoever's the favorite has been caked. it's awesome.
Diaz was one of the best WW's? Why is that, because he beat Lawler? pft... He lost to Karo, Diego, RIGGS and Sherk, Diaz was nowhere near the top of the food chain.Originally Posted by piss ant

I give Diego a better chance than a few of the posters here, but I think Mach will be able to keep the fight standing long enough to rock him and TKO him. This would be a very good & exciting fight to schedule too btw.

fuck sakes Diego is not 19-1.
He is 17-1
Diego loses, he isn't better at anything, maybe a little strength advantage but thats about it.
Koscheck one of the best overall athletes in mma, thats funny, he is the one of the best wrestlers but thats it.
I would say that makes Kos one of the best atheletes, regardless Diego did not execute in that fight.Originally Posted by dork8503
I would disagree that Diego isn't better at 1 thing which could mean all the marbles:
Cage Fighting.
I just can't stop thinking about how bad Mach got beat by Hughes in the octagon, I mean he was destroyed.
Also Diego is younger and I would say much faster if he comes correct.

UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones fights Alexander Gustafsson on Saturday at UFC 165 in Toronto. If he beats Gustafsson, he is looking next at Glover Teixeira, with Daniel Cormier perhaps next in line. Jones does not seem to like what he sees very much.
Glover was damned with faint praise.
"I thought he showed signs of being a high-level fighter," said Jones recently. "I don't think he's ready to beat me. I thought he showed signs, being punched that hard by Bader shows me where he's at. No matter what your excuse is, it still happened. If you're a seasoned vet and you said you allowed overconfidence to be your weakness, it's still a weakness you allowed to happen in the first place. If you have a great opponent and great understanding, then you won't rush into a guy like Ryan Bader who is obviously going to swing big, looping punches at you. I don't think he's the guy who's going to beat me."
Cormier was pretty much just damned.
"To be honest with you, I don't think Daniel Cormier really deserves a big fight," said Jones. "I don't respect him as a person. I think fighting me would be an opportunity of a lifetime for him. I don't think I have much to gain from beating Daniel Cormier because no one knows who he is, and he hasn't really proved much."
"He seems to really not like me and be a big hater of mine. It's sad, considering we're both African-American and there's not many of us in the sport. We should try to find a common bond. We don't need to be friends, but we should at least respect each other. It's pathetic that me and Rashad have such a bad relationship and me and Daniel have such a bad relationship."
Jones encouraged by, not jealous of FMJ payday
Floyd Mayweather Jr. was famously guaranteed $40.5 fighting Canelo Alvarez Saturday night, and may make as much as $100,000,000. Unflattering comparisions have been drawn between the FMJ's pay and that of the top fighters in MMA. However, UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones however was and encourage, not jealous.
"It's ridiculous," said Jones recently, adding "in a good way."
"His swagger, his work ethic shined through. It's great to see a champion show his heart and his winning ways. It's great to see a champion get what he deserves. That really, really encourages me."
"Boxing has been around over 100 years. The foundation is set and the money is there. MMA is so new. You can't just expect to be paid, if we're going to be paid $40 million, what is the UFC going to make? Floyd is his own production. We're a fairly new sport. I'm grateful for the money I make. As a 26-year-old I could never imagine being in this position."
"I don't think money is the key to life, or happiness. Would it be nice? It would be great to be paid the way other athletes will be paid. Doing my part, paydays closer to that, hopefully I'll be the guy to get us there through hard work, longevity.
"Doing something you love, to make millions of dollar of doing it, it's an honor. I don't want to come off ungrateful. I'm happy. I'm extremely happy. ... Hopefully we get there, hopefully I"m the one who gets us there. I'm not going to judge my happiness on someone else's accomplishments."

A Boutique Hotel with Apartment-Style Suites on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, NYC
Take a step into the stunning Blue Moon Hotel and you are immediately transported into a place in history where quality and refinement meet comfort and warmth. This award-winning NYC boutique hotel has been lovingly restored by Manhattan artist-as-architect, Randy Settenbrino, who has poured his heart and soul into its transformation.
Located in Manhattan's trendy Lower East Side neighborhood, bordered by Greenwich Village, East Village, SoHo, Chinatown, and the Financial District, the Blue Moon Hotel is in a perfect spot for those traveling for business or visiting the popular tourist attractions in New York City.
The historic 19th Century tenement building, once inhabited by immigrants and factory workers, was partially sealed off for 70 years, and is an art preservation and design project. In fact, stepping through the doors of the Blue Moon Hotel is much like walking into a historic Manhattan art museum.
Original architecture, wood moldings, doors, light fixtures and marble tiles are just a few of the features that have been reintegrated into the hotel's design. Historic memorabilia found throughout the building during reconstruction has been preserved and used as a part of the décor while incorporating modern elegance, amenities and services.
Hand painted collages adorn the walls and ceilings, custom upholstery, wool carpeting, and antique furnishings were hand picked to mimic the historical elements of the building, while creating an elegant, refined environment comfortable for guests to relax.
The Blue Moon Hotel incorporates 22 oversized luxurious lodging accommodations and suites that are fittingly named after legends of the 1920's and 30's. Accommodations range in size from 320 to 750 square feet with soaring ceilings and comfortable living spaces, many including balconies with spectacular views.
Beautifully appointed guest room accommodations allow individuals and families the space they need to stretch out and relax. Comfortable pillow-top mattresses are lavishly covered with 300TC cotton sheets, dressed with custom fabrics and pillows, and set against decorative wrought iron beds. Exquisite antiques stylishly decorate each room, reminiscent of a bygone era; including a desk and chair for those guests who wish to stay in touch with their office and home.
Luxurious bathrooms incorporate beautiful vanity sink basins with deep soaking tubs and showers. Plush cotton towels complete with all bath amenities and hair dryers are several of the modern conveniences incorporated into an exquisite setting.
As the recipient of several prestigious awards and honors, the Blue Moon Hotel strives to provide guests with an experience unlike any other. Historically preserved and expertly designed, the Blue Moon Hotel in Manhattan provides a warm and inviting atmosphere among the aesthetic elegance of its era, enhanced to exceed guest expectations.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by frecklejess Fits CURVY girls!! I just got this bra in Blush, and I am in love. I'm wearing it right now, and do not want to ever take it off. I read the other reviews before purchasing, and I couldn't be happier. I'm a size 36DD/38C and it is nearly impossible to find comfy lounge bras that are free of underwires AND look gorgeous in my size. This is perfect! I'm 5'9'' 180lbs. and the straps are the perfect length. ( i know some others had commented on the straps being too long--not for me and my girls!). It is not see-through, so no nip-slips here. So cute peeking out of a sheer white tank top or dress. I am ordering more colors as soon as I finish this review. Buy it! You won't be sorry! 8.19.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Burghbaby So pretty and fits larger busts I am a 38D/DD depending on the bra, so I wasn't sure this would fit. I got an extra large and although it's a little small, it does fit. It's so beautiful, and very comfortable. I can't wait to wear it under some of my open-back shirts. 4.5.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by AJCullen Galloon Lace Racerback I was SO confused on which size to get based on all the reviews. I am a size Small at FP, and decided to order the size Small. For me, it fits perfect; I have no issues with the length of the straps, band, or cup sizes with the size Small. I am 5'5" 120lbs 34D. If I had gotten the XS the band would have been too tight for sure. 9.18.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Beachinchick Super Cute Racerback I purchased this in black to wear under the Miracle Lace Midi dress which has a racerback and it's very flattering underneath. I'm a 36C and the medium was a comfortable fit without feeling too tight at the bottom which happens sometimes with these types of bras. Really cute peaking out under dresses and tanks! 3.28.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by jlim123 Nice but straps too long for me While I really liked this bra, I found that the straps were too long for me...therefore not enough support for my 36c size. But very pretty and feminine...only wished that I can adjust the straps. 3.3.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by ksklmme pretty! I bought the black in xs, I am a 34A. From some of the reviews I was worried that the straps might be too long but for me it turned out to be perfect. I've worn a few non-padded bras before but this is by far my favorite. It is so comfortable I forgot I was even wearing it. Also seems very versatile and I wont feel guilty with my bra straps showing! 2.9.2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Linxly Dreamy bralette I'm glad I finally broke down and bought this. It is soft and comfortable, sexy and sweet, and versatile. I went with the ivory. The straps, sadly, are not adjustable so I will probably take them in a bit. Other than that, I highly recommend it. Nice touch to see it peeking out from a shirt. For fit comparison, I'm 5'4", 135lbs, and wear 36b, and purchased a small. I normally wear a small in FP. 7.13.2013
Rated 1 out of 5Â by Reyhan Nice style, cheap material I bought 2 of these (black and ivory) because I liked the style. I tried the black one first and it is a nice design but the material is just rough. I ended up with red allergic spots and irritation lines and patches on my back and neck and collar bones! I just washed the black one, gently, and it has goldish elastic threads sticking out of it all over. Very bad seen! I am taking the ivory one back for sure... 1.3.2013

With 250+ travel clinics nationwide, Passport Health is your local leading provider of travel vaccinations and medications. Prepare your health for travel, visit us before you go.
How do you Get Meningitis?
What are Meningitis Symptoms?
Where to get Meningitis vaccine?
Who Should Get Meningitis Vaccine?
Where does Meningitis occur?
What is Meningitis?
Meningitis (Meningococcal disease) is an inflammation of the membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord and may be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, environmental toxins like heavy metals and reactions to medications. Meningitis case fatality rates have been as high as 50% in endemic countries although now they hover between 10%-15%. Regardless, serious permanent side effects like deafness, mental retardation and amputation of limbs occur in 11%-19% of survivors. Although bacterial and fungal meningitis require extended hospitalization, viral meningitis is typically less severe and clears up without specific treatment.
How do you Get Meningitis?
Transmission occurs by air droplet, kissing, sharing of items, utensils that may have been infected and nasal secretions.
What are Meningitis Symptoms?
Meningitis symptoms include high fever, headache and stiff neck in anyone over the age of 2 years. Other symptoms may include vomiting, nausea, confusion, sleepiness and discomfort looking into bright lights. In small infants and newborns, headache, fever and neck stiffness may be difficult to detect or completely absent. Infants with meningitis may be feeding poorly, be irritable, appear slow or inactive and have vomiting episodes. These symptoms can develop within hours or they may take 1 to 2 days. As the disease progresses, patients of any age may have seizures.
Where to Get Meningitis Vaccine?
There are two meningococcal vaccinations available in the U.S.
- Meningococcal polysaccharide vaccine (MPSV4)
- Meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MCV4)
The meningitis vaccines are available at all Passport Health travel clinic locations.
Who Should Get Meningitis Vaccine?
Those ages 16 through 21 years have the highest rates of meningococcal disease. Thus, the CDC recommends vaccination for this group. According to the CDC "all 11-12 years olds should be vaccinated with meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MCV4). A booster dose should be given at age 16 years. For adolescents who receive the first dose at age 13 through 15 years, a one-time booster dose should be administered, preferably at age 16 through 18 years." For those attending college, the CDC recommends that a booster dose. The meningitis vaccination is required to attend many colleges. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) suggests that teens receive the vaccine less than 5 years before starting school.
Adults with the following risk factors risk factors which should get either the MPSV4 vaccine or the MCV4 vaccine:
- Military recruits
- College freshmen living in a dormitory
- People with a damaged spleen or a spleen that has been removed
- Microbiologists who are routinely exposed to Neisseria meningitidis (the bacterial pathogen)
- People with a terminal complement deficiency
- People who have had close or prolonged contact with a patient with meningitis caused by Neisseria meningitidis
- People who are traveling or to areas where the dissease is common
- People who reside in countries in which the disease is common or endemic
An outbreak of group W-135 meningococcal disease occurred in the year 2000 associated with the annual Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca and caused the Saudi Arabian government to mandate that all travelers receive the Meningitis vaccine prior to pilgrimages to Mecca.
John Kach's Personal Meningitis Story
Where does Meningitis occur?
Since meningitis is recurrent throughout the sub-Saharan Meningitis Belt, which extends from Senegal to Ethiopia, travelers visiting the region during the dry season are advised to receive the meningitis vaccine especially if prolonged contact with the local population is likely. Thus, meningitis vaccine is recommended for travelers going to countries in the meningitis belt: Senegal, The Gambia, Mauritania, Mali, Guinea Bissau, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Cote D'Ivoire, Burkina Fasso, Ghana, Parts of Togo, Benin, Niger, Nigeria, Chad, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Sudan, Ethiopia, Parts of Kenya, Parts of Uganda and parts of Eritrea.

So, if you are asking yourself, "What travel shots and vaccinations do I need?" or "Where do I get the Meningitis Vaccine?" schedule an appointment with your local Passport Health travel medicine clinic.

Wireless Radio and its Advantage
Among the latest developments wireless radio has provided the most inexpensive device for audio listening. A satellite radio though providing easy accessibility was costly and had to be registered. A monthly fee was also levied. Wireless radio has totally done away with both these financial burdens. It is economical, effective in terms of reception and no monthly fee need to be paid. Wireless radio can be taken anywhere and there is no restriction in its mobility as long as it is linked to the personal computer internet. The reason for the radio to be economically priced is accessing the audio signals frequency through broadband.
When satellite radio was launched it was hailed as a great development for reviving for radio listening. However, the cost of the radio was kept at a very high level and to top it all a monthly fee was collected for listening on a monthly basis. With the advent of internet and broadband facility numerous wireless devices was launched for intranet. Subsequently wireless radio utilizing the broadband network was placed in the market. Wireless radio was very economically priced when compared to a satellite radio. With no monthly fee being collected the advantage was complete in favor of wireless radio.

Welcome to Visit New England - Massachusetts
Massachusetts: Cape Cod, mountains & world-class Boston culture
Massachusetts has all the geographical features of the other states, from skiing and fall foliage drives in the western Berkshire Mountains to the beaches of Cape Cod and vacation islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket. Boston (and its neighbor, Cambridge) is a world-class city of top-notch cultural offerings and American Revolutionary history.
Click here to view a map of Massachusetts.
Massachusetts regions and highlights:
Western Massachusetts Region
Western Massachusetts and the Berkshires is the state's mountainous area, with ski resorts and other mountain sports. This region also is split by the Connecticut River Valley. The Berkshire towns of Lenox, Lee, Great Barrington, and Stockbridge offer live music and theater and many museums. Tanglewood in Lenox is the summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Amherst and Northampton jump with cultural activities. Favorite museums celebrate Norman Rockwell and Eric Carle. West Springfield hosts The Big E agricultural fair every fall. [Photo from MOTT]
Cape Cod Region
Cape Cod is a giant, curved peninsula that cradles the calm Cape Cod Bay beaches; the Cape's outer shores face the rougher Atlantic. A large strip of the Cape is occupied by the Cape Cod National Seashore, which includes beaches and lighthouses, bluffs and dunes, freshwater ponds, walking and biking trails. The Cape is a family-oriented vacation place to enjoy seafood, beaches, bicycling, camping, antique shopping, and more. [Photo by Michel Setboun/MOTT]
Central Region
The Central region is a place of lovely towns and many farms that welcome visitors for pick-your-own opportunities and fall harvest celebrations. Old Sturbridge Village, a living history re-creation of a 19th-century town, is a fun trip for kids and adults. Worcester has several colleges, with the usual degree of live entertainment that college towns enjoy. The town of Brimfield plays host to the giant Brimfield Antiques Show. [Photo from MOTT]
Boston Region (including Cambridge)
Boston has all the pleasures of a great city: theater, museums, excellent shopping and dining. The Freedom Trail, a walking circuit, passes many iconic settings of the American Revolution. The Boston Commons and Public Garden are superb urban parks. The Charles River with its picturesque bridges separates Boston from Cambridge, home to Harvard University. Nearby Lexington and Concord have outdoor museums describing Revolutionary War events.
Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket -- the Islands Region
Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket islands, in the waters south of Cape Cod, are paradises of beaches, bluffs, glorious sunsets, and sweet towns with interesting histories. Both can be reached by ferry from Cape Cod and both have small airfields. Martha's Vineyard is the larger island, with several cozy towns, good dining and summer theater, and beautiful beaches. Nantucket is even more intimate, with all the same island pleasures as its larger sister. [Photo by Tom Grafft/MOTT]
The North of Boston Region
The North of Boston and Cape Ann region, including the towns of Salem, Gloucester, Newburyport, Marblehead, and Lowell, is known for its art galleries, seaside beauty, and fine food. Gloucester and Newburyport have fleets for popular whale watch cruises. The region has many art galleries. Salem, site of 17th-century witchcraft trials, attracts thousands of visitors every October for Halloween fun. Lexington and Concord have outdoor museums describing Revolutionary War events Lowell and its historic mills are a showcase of early American industrial history. [Photo from MOTT]
The South of Boston Region
South of Boston region is famous for the town of Plymouth and its historic sites, including Plymouth Rock. On the coast you can catch a whale-watch tour and inland you can explore cranberry farms. Quiet beach towns and popular Horse Neck Beach are scattered along Buzzard's Bay. New Bedford is an old seafaring city famous for its whaling and maritime history sites.

Wildlife is both challenging and rewarding to photograph. Try these tips to make the most of your expedition to your backyard backwoods or beyond:
1| If you have an SLR type camera, don't skimp on the glass: The best way to get up close to any kind of animal is to have a long lens. Usually a zoom lens topping out at 300mm will be sufficient, but if the animals are potentially dangerous, consider a maximum focal length of 400mm or longer.
2| Focus on the eyes of the animal – especially when using a longer lens – to get the most striking shot.
3| Animals move fast. Try the "sports" mode of your digital camera to give you the best shutter speed and exposure settings.
4| Explore your camera's Macro mode – sometimes close up images of small wildlife and plants can be just as rewarding as the big game.
5| Patience is key. Animals don't know that you are waiting for them to yawn, jump or go after prey. Holding out that extra few minutes may reward you with a once-in-a-lifetime shot.
6| Photograph animals in their natural settings so your pictures tell more of a story.
7| Know your wildlife! Some of your "models" are docile creatures, and some are highly dangerous. Make sure you understand the difference.

JCHS boys soccer coach Duane Kitchens conducted the camp, along with the school's soccer booster club. Members of the varsity boys and girls teams helped with the coaching.
"It was a really good turnout. I was only expecting 15 or so for the first time, so I was really pleased," he said.
Kitchens, who just finished his first season at Jones County, said exposing the kids to the program in the camp is important to encourage more participation in soccer when they get to high school.
"It takes a while to build a successful program, and you have to get the kids started when they are young. Hopefully we'll be seeing some of these coming out for soccer in school in a few years," Kitchens said.

Filmmaker Miklós Jancsó helped share Hungarian cultureWritten by Guest Author | | email@example.com
Influential Hungarian filmmaker Miklós Jancsó died Jan. 31 at the age of 92.
During the 1960s, Jancsó, along with István Szabó, Károly Makk and Márta Mészáros, to whom Jancsó was at one time married, became part of what was known as the "Hungarian New Wave" in America.
These filmmakers were not only exploring the technical aspects of cinema but were introducing outsiders to Hungary. People who normally would know nothing about the culture of Hungary were now seeing what Hungarians looked like, how they spoke and most importantly, learning about the history of the country.
Jancsó's films largely revolve around politics during historical times. His major works do not take place in modern day Hungary. Critics and viewers usually interpret Jancsó's films as using historical moments — such as the 1848 revolt against Austria as Hungarians tried to break ties with the country as seen in the film "The Round Up" ("Szegenylegenyek") — as really being commentaries on communism and the uprising in 1956.
There may be some truth to that. Watch his crowning achievement, "The Red & The White" ("Csillagosok, katonak"), one of the most important films in Hungarian cinema, which was filmed 11 years after the revolt and in the Soviet Union. It involves a conflict between the Soviets and the Hungarians. How could such a film not invoke memories of '56?
Jancsó was also known for his long steady shots. His films are usually not told from any particular character's point of view. He liked long shots for this reason. The viewer takes in the whole picture. In many of his films, you don't even know all the characters' names.
Once asked to describe his films, Jancsó said they were "an exploration of the state of society in which some people always try to exploit others. Even if they come from the oppressed classes themselves, once they get into power they change and try to oppress other people."
What made Jancsó's films so important to someone like me was I never knew much about Hungary's history. I heard the stories from my grandparents and my parents about what life was like under communism and the importance of '56, but it wasn't until I watched Jancsó's films that I started to appreciate what my family and other Hungarians went through. Watching these films I realized I was watching films made by a man who had a love for the country and wanted others to know about its history. That's what makes films so special — their ability to teach us about other cultures and expand our horizon of the world around us.
Five of his films were nominated for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, among them "Elektra My Love" ("Szerelmem, Elektra") and "The People Still Ask" ("Meg ker a nep"), for which he also won the best director prize that year. He also received a lifetime award in 1994 at the Budapest Film Festival.
His influence was also seen in the work of another brilliant Hungarian filmmaker Béla Tarr, who sadly has announced he is retiring from filmmaking.
Jancsó is suvived by his third wife, Zsuzsa Csakany, and his four children.
The world of cinema mourns the passing of one of its great filmmakers.

iPhone 4S to offer 64GB storage option?
9to5Mac's Mr. X claims that not only has the iPhone 4S begun appearing in Apple's internal inventory system, but that it's appearing in 3 capacities. For the last couple of years, Apple has only offered 16GB and 32GB iPhones, with the previous year's model going the budget 8GB size. Could iPhone 4S once again raise the storage stakes to a full 64GB?
Given that we've also heard from manufacturing sources that Apple has at least been prototyping 64GB versions of the new iPhone, we would say it's fairly likely that Apple's new iPhone will come in 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB capacities; just like the iPad.
While iCloud theoretically changes the dynamics of local storage, audiophiles, videophiles, and other who still want to carry around a large volume of media and other files would no doubt still want and use 64GB on-device. It would likely require double density NAND Flash chips to achieve, since iPhone has traditionally had half the storage slots as an iPod touch. If Apple does start using those chips, could a 128GB iPod touch be on the horizon as well, allowing Apple to retire their aging iPod classic player?
We'll find out Tuesday.

iPhone 4S to offer 64GB storage option?
That's some interesting news about iPhone update. Lets hope that Apple make the 64GB version available for moderate price unlike it's predecessor iPhone 4 which costs a lot.
Shuffle £40 and Nano £131. You do the maths.
There is a reason they've put all this money into iCloud. Forget the 64GB phone. It's never coming.
icloud is not a substitute for storage.
I want a 64GB iPhone!!
Its ghe iphone 5. Thr is no 4s. Carriers had equipment installed to unbrick then new iphone. Bell, telus, on the box it says "iphone 5 unbricking device"
Why do we keep calling this 4S? That's not the right name. We're talking about the model that remains from the previous year's iPhone. That place in the lineup has never been called anything different than its original name. You can go out and buy an 8Gig 3GS, but it was always called a 3GS.
When 3GS was announced, you could go out and buy the 'new' 3G 8Gig, but it was still called 3G.
And I'm sure, you'll be able to buy one of the flavors of iPhone 4 for the next year, but it will still be called iPhone 4.
Unless you believe there will NOT be an iPhone 5 and this will be the only product, then it is appropriate to call it iPhone 4S.
and recording HD 1080p video. especially as it become less compressed.
Seems like everyone loves the idea of storing all their media in the cloud and accessing it all from there anytime anyplace. The only problem with that is the data caps AT&T and Verizon have. Personally, I'd rather have my music on my device at all time and save my data for more important things.
I really hope they offer 64GB. For me its a not of matter of why, but why not.
Please Please Please be 64gb iphone 5!
I personally was wondering how this would happen. With the cloud one might believe that storage is no longer of the essence, but would an iPhone 5 16GB be able to sync an entire iTunes library of over 15,000 songs and videos without lagging? More space, faster speeds? Sorry these may be really dumb questions but I am trying to decide what size iP5 I need to buy to make sure the cloud works well and I still have ample amount of room. Help?!

Attendees swap gardening tips at Ready U sessionWritten by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | email@example.com
About 25 people recently gathered to hear area horticulture experts offer basic gardening tips for the beginning backyard, community and container gardener.
The free Ready U presentation, "From Plant to Plate: Planning Your Victory Garden," was held Feb. 13 in Maumee.
Ready U, a yearlong series presented by the Red Cross of Greater Toledo and the Lucas County Emergency Management Agency, is designed to educate the public and prepare individuals and families for potential emergencies in Northwest Ohio.
Presenters were educators Amy Stone and Lee Richter and program assistant Patrice Powers-Barker, all with the Ohio State University Extension office in Lucas County. Kristin Emery of 13abc served as host.
A follow-up Ready U session, "Using Your Victory Garden," is set for 7 p.m. April 30 at The Andersons Activity Room, 1833 S. Holland-Sylvania Road in Maumee. The session will cover what to expect as your plants grow, when to harvest, food preservation, what to do with any extra produce and more, Powers-Barker said.
Stone said she hopes attendees left excited for the upcoming growing season and armed with the information and resources to turn their ideas into reality. She said she was happy attendees, which included both beginning and experienced gardeners, shared about their own gardening successes and struggles.
"I love the sharing of the participants," Stone said. "When they hear it from the person sitting next to them, they think, 'If that person can do it, so can I.' That encouragement is really cool."
Connie Hoye of Toledo said she came seeking tips on raised-bed gardening.
"All the information was good, like when to start planting, but especially all the contacts so when you have questions you'll know who to call," Hoye said.
The OSU Extension's horticulture hot line, (419) 578-6783 or firstname.lastname@example.com, is staffed by master gardeners from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
Martel and Kristina White of Toledo, who came with their 1 ½-year-old son George, were also happy to learn about the hot line and other community resources. The couple recently purchased a home and is excited to start their first vegetable garden.
"We had some ideas, but now we have more guidance," Martel said.
To open the session, Powers-Barker passed four containers around the room, asking attendees to shake them and guess the contents. Inside were the four ingredients all plants need: water, soil, air and sun.
Cool-weather plants, like lettuce, peas, spinach, radishes, broccoli and beets, can be planted as early as March and then again in the fall, Richter said.
Warm-weather plants, like peppers, tomatoes, tomatillo and basil, should not be planted until after the last frost, usually around May 15.
Because of Ohio's short growing season, transplanting seedlings rather than starting from seeds is often recommended.
When transplanting, keep as much original dirt around the root system as possible, spread out the roots in the hole, pack down the dirt and then water it right away, Richter said.
Tomato and broccoli plants can be placed into the ground up to their first leaves because they are able to grow roots off their stems, providing more stability, Richter said.
It's best to water plants early in the day if possible and to direct the water stream at the base rather than onto the leaves, Stone said. Plants need about an inch of water a week, but just after planting and during fruit development are crucial times when more water may be needed, Stone said.
Mulching helps retain soil moisture, Richter said. About 2 inches is the recommended depth. Untreated grass clippings, straw, black and white newsprint and black plastic work as well, but be careful not to let mulch touch the stem because it can cause rotting, Richter said.
To check sunlight, place a paper plate on a spot and check back regularly, noting any shadows, Stone said.
If your location doesn't get enough sun for a plant you want to grow, try partnering with a friend or neighbor to trade produce, Stone said. Another option is container gardening, which can be moved as the sun moves.
Containers should have holes in the bottom for excess water to run through, Stone said.
"Otherwise you've got water that's just going to sit there," Stone said. "Especially if you have new plants that might not have a whole lot of roots to absorb the water, you can get some root rot issues."
Other gardening methods include hydroponics, vertical and community gardening. Lettuce, spinach, celery, eggplant and peppers work well in a hydroponics system, in which plants get nutrients from a water system not soil, Stone said.
Soil testing is recommended, especially for first-time gardeners and new locations, to learn the exact nutrient content of the soil. Soil should be retested about every five years, Richter said.
"It's not a big expense and it will give you a lot of good information," Stone said.
Soil samples can be sent to the University of Massachusetts Soil Testing Laboratory in Amherst, which specializes in home gardens, Stone said. A standard test costs $10. More information can be found at lucas.osu.edu.
Keeping a journal in a mailbox or other weatherproof place near your garden is a common tip from master gardeners, Stone said.
"How often do you think of something when you're out in the garden? 'Hey, this is the first time I've picked a ripe tomato this year,' or 'Boy, the weeds are becoming a real issue,' and you think 'I'll remember that next year,' or 'I have to remember to write that down,' but by the time you get back to the house, the thought is gone," Stone said.
Keeping an eye on your garden will help you notice trends or potential problems, Richter said.
"It's really important to scout your garden," Richter said. "If you do it every day, you will notice when something weird is happening, whether it's disease or insects. It will also help you know when to harvest."
Other upcoming events include:
• The Toledo Botanical Garden's annual Seed Swap: Noon-3 p.m. Feb. 25 at the Erie Street Market, 237 S. Erie St. More information: (419) 536-5566 or toledogarden.org.
• Lucas County Master Gardener Speakers Bureau Lecture Series. Topics will include straw bale gardening and square-foot gardening on April 17, vertical gardening, herb spirals and raised-bed gardening on May 15 and mixed container gardening and community-supported agriculture on June 12. Sessions will be 6:30-9 p.m. at the Toledo Botanical Gardens Conference Center, 5403 Elmer Drive in Toledo. Cost is $15 per class or $35 for the series. More information: (419) 578-6783 or lucas.osu.edu.
Toledo Free Press is a media sponsor for the Ready U program. For more information, visit ready-u.com and lucas.osu.edu.
