I'm almost done putting the garden to bed for the year. The hostas and raspberry canes still need to be cut back, and I haven't done the final mulching yet. But the rain barrel is already emptied and turned upside down (to protect it from cracking, which could happen if it sat full of freezing and thawing water all winter). The container plants that will overwinter indoors are in. The tomato vine remnants are history.
As I'm finishing up with this year's garden, I take mental notes on what did and didn't work this year, and what I want to try next year. One thing that I want to do is be more pro-active in heading off the infestations that plagued my garden this year (spider mite on the tomatoes, aphids on the roses). I think I'm going to order some ladybugs to release next spring…
Here is a guest post by Bryan Baker to help with planning organic methods to control pests next year:
Going Organic with Organic Pest Control
By Bryan Baker
Backyard gardens are a place to cultivate something of your own and create an environment for some of the purest and freshest flowers and food. Doing so organically adds another layer of achievement: you'll see it in the expressions of those who have the privilege of eating your tomatoes or smelling your roses.
So how can we create a truly natural environment, while keeping those detrimental critters from fouling our benefits? Lets start by identifying some of the top culprits:
Aphids are a very large group of insects that suck the sap out of the vessels of your your plants. In turn, leaves will drop and the plant becomes susceptible to disease.
Caterpillars are probably the most obvious because they eat the leaves and sometimes even burrow into fruits and vegetables.
Cutworms will devour a plant at the stem and as a result, possibly cut the plant down (hence the name).
Flea beetles can attack a plant two ways: The adults feed on the leaves, while the larvae attack the roots.
Tarnished plant bugs feed on the early developing plants, fruits and vegetables. This can effect future growth.
We know that these critters are harmful to our gardens. Now what are some options that can be taken to prevent and/or control them?
1. Floating row covers offer your garden protection while allowing the growing plants to push it up. These are not the most attractive additions to one's garden, but may be necessary. Not only will they offer protection from insects, but they shield the garden from rabbits, deer and birds. Some floating row covers are supported by simple frames, while others are laid directly on top of the garden. They all allow sunlight, air and water to penetrate.
2. Encourage native predators in your garden such as ladybugs, lacewings, and beneficial nematodes. You can purchase these online and insert them into your garden. Ladybugs can consume 50 to 60 aphids a day. Furthermore, beneficial nematodes will kill soil dwelling insects. This can be a very fun project for children as they get to learn about some pretty bugs, while doing your garden a favor.
3. Just plain handpicking the cutworms and caterpillars. There is nothing less glamorous than this, but it's effective. Most gardeners check their garden daily anyway, so while you do that feel free to handpick those critters out of there.
With these options, you have done nothing to tarnish the organic nature of your garden. Try these steps before resorting to spraying your garden with synthetic chemical mixtures. I think you will be pleased with the results.
Bryan Baker works with Moxie Pest Control, which offers unique organic pest control services. He also spends time gardening with his family.

Two Days Till Valentine's!
If you caught my Making Valentine's Day Cards post at the tail-end of January, then you know I planned to share some of our Valentine's Day card photos as we neared February 14th. With only two more days until the official Day of Love, now is as good a time as ever.
As you can see, we kicked off our card making with monsters. Though I realize monsters don't thrill the hearts of everyone, I LOVE THEM. A bit of colored scrapbook paper, a pack of stickers, scissors and a glue stick kept me busy for quite some time. My mindset behind these were to have some handmade cards to offer the younger kids of some of our newest members at the Valentine's Day party.
I keep wondering when mustaches and beards will no longer be the rage. Kenny purchased a number of kiss lips and mustaches for the sole purpose of making cards for his sisters and girl friends (not to be confused with girlfriends, of course).
He got a kick writing "Mustache Off!" on Em's card, followed by a bunch of racing, mustache-heavy stick figures.
I didn't have the heart to tell him that he wasn't the first person to come up with this joke.
He personalized his cards specifically toward his friend's interests. This particular card was for a friend who plays baseball.
Meredith joined in on the mustache frenzy, adding a bit of flair with paper hearts and a red pipe cleaner.
Most of her cards shared the same red, black and white theme. These two cards are for her best friend and Emelie.
More red, black and white for Izzy, her grandmother.
Peace signs and swirly ribbon for her cousin Olivia and a friend at co-op.
Emelie's cards were much more subdued this year than they have been in the past. She picked a packet of papers and various stamp stickers.
She finished most of her cards off with a typewritten "Happy Valentine's Day" from her old, but just-like-new, typewriter.
My first personalized card was for Jeff, of course. This is the front of the card.
And, this is the back of the card.
Enough said.
Like Emelie, I purchased a single, small packet of papers, so the color schemes of all my cards were pretty similar. These are the cards I made for my kids.
Kenny's is a bit more feminine than I intended, but I wrote something super manly on the back. Y'know, like "Real men can handle getting pink cards from their Mommas."
I probably will have to buy him extra Gummy Bears and Sour Patch Kids to pull this one off.
Liv got a card too. This was the front of hers.
And then, the back.
Just as we have done in year's past, the kids and I made our own version of the Valentine's Day Box cards that can be purchased at most of the big box super centers.
The kids posed with a heart in various positions and I just began popping off shots.
Though I thought they were all cute, I liked Meredith's the best. That one eye sticking out cracks me up.
When I took the photos Emelie was still wearing her pajamas and had a bad case of cowlic-crazed bedhead. She thought hiding all but her smile was definitely the best approach.
I agreed.
And last, but certainly not least, is Olivia with her face scrunched-up, peering down at her Valentine's Day message.
Each kid made enough of the homemade "box" cards to pass out to everyone who attended the party.
If you are like us, and not a big fan of the generic box cards for sale at your local super center, check out this FREE Valentine's Day Card download via my friend and graphic illustrator, Secret Agent Josephine.
Happy Valentine's Day Y'all – May it be the best one ever!

I just now finished the cards for my own kids and their spouses. Such fun!! And….I always have a special one to make for my wonderful husband. Love is in the air!!!! I love the pinks and reds after all the ice blue of winter. Thanks for sharing the creative ones by your family!
Linda Sander On Tuesday, February 12 at 10:44 am
Too cute and ve-r-ry creative! I don't like to advertise but since my loving husband helped me, I have to mention: We created a Valentine art mobile to be made in classrooms-wherever they may be. This one is free from Teachers pay Teachers.com. We also submitted a free word search where children have to find 16 words that represent the color "RED." Only the teacher has the word key.
Debi On Tuesday, February 12 at 11:48 am
LOVE this idea, way more creative than my kis come up with usually they paint the cat's paws and use her as the stamp for hearts! Never thought of buying sticker sets to help them embelish their cards and add creative oomp.
Sarah M. On Tuesday, February 12 at 11:51 am
How fun & so creative!! I love making Valentine's Cards. Personalizing the little Blow-Pop holder valentine is such a good idea!
[email protected] On Tuesday, February 12 at 2:44 pm
Wow, you guys are serious crafters. We didn't do anything that fancy. I have been serving French Toast with a heart of powdered sugar though. That's pretty ambitious for us.
AGinTO On Tuesday, February 12 at 2:52 pm
These are wonderful! So much more thoughtful, personalized, and FUN than store bought ones! Good one, momma!
Sarah N. On Tuesday, February 12 at 3:22 pm
Where did you find Emelie's gorgeous typewriter? That's a great color! I love your contributions to Pioneer Woman, and passion for homeschooling. I don't even have kids yet but your family is an inspiration!
rebecca On Tuesday, February 12 at 3:35 pm
How inspiring and how much fun.
We have discovered a new thing and are starting a new tradition!
Very exiting!!!!
Thank you for sharing.
Rebecca F On Tuesday, February 12 at 4:15 pm
I am curious about your "box cards". I am wondering if you printed the pictures on photo paper, or card stock, or what? They seem stiffer than regular paper, but I would think photo paper would be too expensive for this endeavor. Would love to use this idea next year!

Not a fan of Valentine's Day. Seriously, who has time for this stuff? I am definitely the under achieving mom when it comes to this holiday!
Annie R On Thursday, February 14 at 4:41 pm
Oh my gosh, those photo lollipop Valentines are adorable. Man, how come I can never think of things so clever-yet-simple? I always get myself all complicated and then end up doing nothing.
Angela Pena On Friday, February 15 at 10:10 am
I love the idea of getting a set of coordinating decorative papers and stamps, stickers, and personalizing each one. I am going to take this idea and run with it when I have sudden birthdays or other events that require a card of sorts. Thanks again!

1. With TiVo you are recording a show off of a network subscription that you have to be able to Timeshift (made legal by the BetaMax decision). TiVo is just a personal digital VCR
2. When you download a show you are downloading a broadcast that you didn't pay for (you may get the channel but you are benefiting from somebody elses service), which may seem like a technicality but it is not the broadcast that you are licensed to view.
3. Downloaded shows usually cut out the commercials which is illegal on its own, there is a reason TiVo doesn't have editing capabilities.

Let's say you want to watch season 2 of the popular TV show Alias. Your TV reception sucks, and you don't have cable, but you do have a nice high speed DSL Internet connection. So you set up BitTorrent and use it to download all 22 episodes of season 2. Some 30 hours later, you have all 22 episodes on your hard drive. Now, while you were downloading, you were simultaneously making available for upload what you already had; this is how BitTorrent works, everyone shares whatever they have so that everyone can eventually get the whole.
Unfortunately, during that time, included among the "peers" connected to you were the dreaded Disney lawyers, and they got your IP address.
US Code, Title 17, Chapter 5, Section 504, subsection c 1-2:
"[...] the copyright owner may elect [...] to recover, instead of actual damages and profits, an award of statutory damages for all infringements involved in the action, with respect to any one work [...] in a sum of not less than $750 or more than $30,000 as the court considers just. [...] In a case where the copyright owner sustains the burden of proving, and the court finds, that infringement was committed willfully, the court in its discretion may increase the award of statutory damages to a sum of not more than $150,000."
They'll claim that you knew you were infringing their copyright, and they'll be demanding the maximum penalty: That's 22 episodes -- 22 works -- so they'll be claiming $3,300,000. (Though the court may decide to make it as little as $16,500.)
(If you can convince the court that you were not aware and had no reason to believe you were infringing copyright, this could ultimately be reduced down to $4,400 according to a later part of subsection 2 ("In a case where the infringer sustains the burden of proving, and the court finds, that such infringer was not aware and had no reason to believe that his or her acts constituted an infringement of copyright, the court in its discretion may reduce the award of statutory damages to a sum of not less than $200.") -- good luck.)
US Code, Title 17, Chapter 5, Section 505:
"In any civil action under this title, the court in its discretion may allow the recovery of full costs by or against any party other than the United States or an officer thereof. Except as otherwise provided by this title, the court may also award a reasonable attorney's fee to the prevailing party as part of the costs."
So they'll be wanting their lawyers' costs, too.
US Code, Title 17, Chapter 5, Section 506, subsection a:
"Criminal Infringement. - Any person who infringes a copyright willfully [...] for purposes of commercial advantage or private financial gain [...] shall be punished as provided under section 2319 of title 18, United States Code."
But you didn't download for commercial or private financial gains, right? Wrong. Congress redefined "financial gain" as part of the "No Electronic Theft" (NET) Act in 1997 specifically to include the likes of you:
US Code, Title 17, Chapter 1, Section 101:
"The term ''financial gain'' includes receipt, or expectation of receipt, of anything of value, including the receipt of other copyrighted works."
You were sharing what you had (a copyrighted work) so you could get the whole (a copyrighted work). From the Congressional Committee Report on the NET Act: "This revision [...] will enable authorities to prosecute someone like LaMacchia who steals or helps others to steal copyrighted works but who otherwise does not profit financially from the theft." LaMacchia was the defendant in United States v. LaMacchia. He was accused of setting up a computer to allow people to download copyrighted software; since he was not doing this commercially and reaped no financial gain, they could only try to prosecute the case under wire fraud statutes, and the case was eventually dismissed (see onlineethics.org/cases/lamacchia/ ).
US Code, Title 18, Part I, Chapter 113, Section 2319, subsection b 3:
"Any person who commits an offense under section 506(a)(1) of title 17 [...] shall be imprisoned not more than 1 year, or fined in the amount set forth in this title, or both, in any other case."
US Code, Title 18, Part II, Chapter 227, Subchapter C, Section 3571, subsection b 5:
"Fines for Individuals. - [...A]n individual who has been found guilty of an offense may be fined [...] for a Class A misdemeanor that does not result in death, not more than $100,000;"
So, a $100,000 fine, a year in jail, some $3 million in statutory damages, plus all costs and lawyers fees, just for downloading a broadcast TV show with BitTorrent...

The word "bailout" was one of the most-searched-for terms on the Internet this year. It's been all over the news. It's been discussed everywhere from Congress to American living rooms.
But what happened to that money that was already handed out? What happened to that first chunk of change from the $700 billion bailout that was supposed to increase lending?
The plan didn't exactly work. The Dow has dropped 2,000 points since Congress approve those confidence-restoring funds.
Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said taxpayers would be kept in the loop about the billions that have already been sent to about 100 banks.
"We need oversight," he said. "We need transparency. I want it. We all want it."
But a month after the money was doled out, the chair of the congressional oversight panel told reporters she didn't yet know where the money was.
"I only got this job 14 days ago," Elizabeth Warren, who chairs the congressional oversight panel, said last week on MSNBC. "We don't have a fax machine. We don't have, you know, a phone yet."
They have phones now, and "we're up to a staff of five," Warren said.
The panel's job is to see that the bailout money is put to good use, but so far there's no mechanism to track how the banks are spending the money.
"If taxpayer dollars are going to be stuffed into these banks, then there are responsibilities that go with that," Warren said.
Some in Congress are now mad about how the bailout's working -- or not working.
Rep. Carolyn Malone, D-N.Y., called it a "dismal failure." Rep. Virginia Brown-Waite, R-Fla. said that "we are going down a rat hole."
Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., chairs the committee that approved the bailout.
"Because we've been dissatisfied with the way in which they've spent the first half of this, we have blocked them from spending the second half," he said.
But there's more. While the media focuses on those billions of dollars, the Federal Reserve Bank is quietly committing trillions of dollars and in return getting collateral from the banks. But they aren't saying what exactly that collateral is.
"We have been asked to engage in oversight for the $700 billion that Treasury may be authorized to spend," Warren said. "But the Federal Reserve Bank is out there now, committing trillions of dollars."
"We don't even know, in the case of the Fed, to which institutions it's going, much less to what use it's being put," she said.
Warren said she is "somewhat" concerned about that, but in most cases they are getting "what we believe to be appropriate collateral."
But if it's appropriate collateral, then wouldn't private investors be rushing to buy that?
"These questions are just baffling," Frank replied, when posed with that question. "You think somebody made up this whole crisis? No, there were no private investors that were willing to do what the Fed did. Because they were worried."
Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke has said that transparency is a major issue, but he can't make the loan information public out of fear it might create a stigma and cause others to worry that the banks might not be credit-worthy.

After the official warnings for Hurricane Sandy unfolded last fall, the staff at the oceanfront Paddy's Beach Club in Misquamicut did all the usual preparations, just like the year before, with warnings for Hurricane Irene.
And then they got out.
No one knew then that Misquamicut would sustain some of the worst Sandy damage in southern New England.
It wasn't until a few days after the storm that the disaster barricades went down and Misquamicuters got a look at how bad the damage was.
Angela Thoman, business manager of Paddy's, said this week, when I caught up with her as she took progress reports from construction crews finishing a rebuild of the restaurant, that the first shock of the Sandy damage now seems like a long time ago.
Instead, Thoman, like most everyone else in the Misquamicut business community, is focused on the imminent start of the 2013 season.
On the perfect afternoon when I toured this week, along with a fair number of other rubber-neckers driving up and down Atlantic Avenue assessing the last stretch of storm cleanup, things were looking quite ready for summer.
Except for the occasional remaining earth-moving machine, backup buzzers sounding - part of a huge swarm of them that moved sand all around the beach community this winter - it could almost seem like a normal spring cleanup.
"Everyone has worked very hard," said Sally Sorensen, manager of the beachfront Windjammer club, where a wedding party, their first official post-Sandy event, is scheduled for this weekend. "We are going to make it."
At Paddy's this week, workers were just starting to empty the storage containers in the parking lot, where everything from booze to furniture was put away while the building was rebuilt. Workers were busy with last-minute projects, carpentry finishes and installing plugs behind the bar.
Thoman said the official opening of the beach and Paddy's will come May 17, starting with an event sponsored by the Greater Westerly Pawcatuck Area Chamber of Commerce, Hands Along the Sands, in which thousands of people are expected to hold hands and set up a human chain down the beach.
One thing everyone I spoke to agreed on is that some important things in Misquamicut have not changed. The beach, now that all the sand has been moved back, looks the same.
The ocean, of course, hasn't changed, either.
Thoman said the ocean is actually a little closer to the restaurant at the outset of the post-Sandy season.
But beach sand comes and goes with the tides, and everyone in Misquamicut is hoping for more beach building this year and no more big storms.
One other change for the summer of 2013 at Misquamicut is that the big white mansion on the high bluff in the distance, in Watch Hill, will be the new summer home of pop singer Taylor Swift.
No doubt some of the Swift oglers and tourists will make their way to the Misquamicut clubs.
Indeed, I came upon two young women at the end of the driveway to the mansion Swift has apparently contracted to buy, for $17 million.
"I don't think she's there yet," I told the young women, who had parked their convertible with Massachusetts plates at the end of the mansion's driveway, while they took pictures on their cellphones.
"Yes, we know," they said, giggling at themselves for jumping the Swift move-in gun.
But they didn't care.
Taylor's coming.
And Sandy's long gone.

Birding Hot Spot
Description:This is another sanctuary renowned for its birding. A two-mile boardwalk passes through pinelands, wet prairie, freshwater marsh, and an old-growth cypress forest. Native ferns, orchids, and bromeliads are festooned to trees throughout the cypress forest. Profuse displays of wildflowers bloom in spring and fall.Watchable wildlife:January through April (the dry season), pools in the swamp dry down and concentrate fish, and as a result, several species of wading birds, including little blue herons, white ibis, and green herons. The largest nesting colony of wood storks in the United States goes about the business of raising chicks in late winter within sight of the boardwalk. Alligators, river otters, barred owls, pileated woodpeckers, and red-shouldered hawks are seen year-round. Several hundred American swallow-tailed kites roost during the summer. Look for an influx of migratory warblers in spring and fall, as well as painted buntings near the bird feeders by the visitor center in the winter.Ownership:National Audubon Society
Contact:(239) 348-9151Directions:Take U.S. Highway 41 9 miles north of Naples, then drive east 21 miles on Florida Highway 846, turn left at sanctuary sign.Related Sites:Other Southwest Florida Wildlife SitesFlorida State Parks
FWC Facts:When the weather is very cold, a group of bluebirds, and several other bird species, will occasionally roost together in a nest cavity for warmth.

The Orlando Magic finally made the defending NBA champions disappear.
The Magic took care of the Boston Celtics, 101-82, to win Game 7 and advance to the Eastern Conference finals to take on NBA MVP LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Took a game longer than I thought they would to beat the Celtics, but the Magic put way the Celtics, who were without injured leader and defensive force, Kevin Garnett.
Still have to give Orlando credit. The Magic made the Celtics play their style Sunday night.
The Magic have some mismatches in their favor against the Cavaliers. Dwight Howard could have a field day and between Rashard Lewis and Hedo Turkoglu, the one James doesn't guard will get an opportunity to do work against Anderson Varejao.

Jeb Bush praised charter schools and slammed traditional public schools and teachers unions in a speech at a Macinac school Wednesday, saying that public education "dumbs down standards to make adults look better," a phrase often used by U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan.
"We must expand [school] choice," said Bush, delivering a keynote speech at the annual Mackinac Policy Conference in northern Michigan. "Our governance model includes over 13,000 government-run monopolies run by unions."
Since he left office, the former Florida governor has become an evangelist for a certain strand of education reform; through his $19 million Foundation for Excellence in Education, he advocates for online education, grading schools based on test scores and forcing students to repeat grades if they don't pass standardized exams.

NC wildfire still growing, rain in the forecast
A large wildfire in the scenic Linville Gorge Wilderness could still take days to extinguish.
The Asheville Citizen-Times reported Saturday that the fire has grown to about 2,700 acres after breaking containment lines along the south side of the blaze at Chimney Gap.
Officials cautioned Friday that lingering smoke from the blaze held the potential to create a "super fog" that could create hazardous driving conditions in surrounding areas. The North Carolina Highway Patrol reported no serious accidents or heavy fog in the area Saturday morning.
U.S. Forest Service spokeswoman Deborah Walker said Friday the fire is about 40 percent contained. About 100 firefighters have been intentionally burning areas in an effort to contain the wildfire. Authorities are hoping rain forecast for late Sunday and early Monday might help.

More from Mr Webbby Björn Pohl - UKC Apr/2014
This news story has been read 3,178 times
Jimmy Webb has made the 3rd ascent of Chris Webb Parsons' Believe in two, ~8B+, at Magic Wood, Switzerland.
The problem which is just to the right of Steppenwolf, another Magic Wood classic, was originally given 8C and has previously been repeated by Daniel Woods.
It seems Jimmy Webb is now doing to bouldering what Adam Ondra has already done to sport climbing i.e repeating so many hard problems that anything less than 8C barely gets noticed. The fact that he suggests 8B+ for most of the 8C's he repeats only adds to this trend.
Of course it can quite rightly be argued that it's not all about the grades, but then again... we all know it is, don't we?

Memories of Pippi
Pippi Longstocking Osmanski
August 1, 1993 -- April 26, 2010
Pippi past over Rainbow Bridge at 6:00 p.m. on April 26, 2010.
She was spoiled and loved by Mike, Kim, Sara and Nikki. She was a member of our family for almost 17 years and we will miss her very, very much.
Pippi loved:
Just being by our side,
Going to the park,
Opening presents,
Floating in her blow up boat in the pool
Going for a walk,
Laying in the sun
A good nap and
Good food (and I don't mean dog food)
Never could there have been a better dog, friend, companion. You could leave her outside of the gate and she would wait right there for you to come back and let her through. In the past few years all she asked for was a good bed to sleep in, good food to eat and our companionship when she wanted it.
Pippi we love you dearly and will miss you forever.
Pippi's People Parent(s), Kim, would appreciate knowing you have visited their Pippi's Memorial Residency.
Give a gift renewal of Pippi's residency

Partially granting Morgan Stanley's motion to dismiss, the court held that NCUA's federal securities claims were time-barred under the three-year statute of repose imposed by the Securities Act of 1933. In reaching this conclusion, the court found that NCUA did not become conservator for the credit unions until after the statute of repose had run, and therefore could not avail itself of a provision of the Federal Credit Union Act that extends the limitations period for actions brought by the NCUA. Despite its dismissal of NCUA's federal securities claims, the court ruled that securities claims against Morgan Stanley brought under Illinois and Texas blue sky laws both were timely and adequately pled.

Is this by chance the guy who hangs out on Kiawah Island?
Maybe it's just me, but I would sort of prefer libraries stick to books.
I think I could live BETTER without cable TV... it would cut down on the time I spend lounging on the couch watching trashy reality programs!

Here's hoping he goes to the Yankees so that he has to shave that awful beard.
Fewer people try to make friends with me on the subway when I dress like this. And I like that.
Here's your chance Vick... now don't choke (especially against Detroit!). Time to walk the walk.
So, he's under fire for thinking he should start... well, he should.
Quite frightened by global warming
Systamatic... Hydromatic... Why it could be... Greece Lightning!
Are my friends looking a little pale today? May be time to hit the tanning bed.
Stealing from a Rita's is like killing a baby animal... who could steal from such a wonderful place ;)
Travis Garland, whoever he is, did not do himself any favors last night. He sounded like a mess! After the JT comparison, I wanted to see some good moves at least, but the choreography was painful. He's exactly the kind of 'talent' I'd expect from someone like Perez.
And I have to disagree; this season hasn't been entertaining at all. Rough season to leave on IMO.
Co-ed tennis... maybe. But I don't know many other sports where girls can hang with boys at the high school level.
There would have to be rules on how many girls you have to have on the field at a time, etc., or there would be no incentive to keep any girls on the roster at all.
I'd like to see Vick play more. Kolb just isn't special IMO.
That's quite a turnout.
Word on the street is that 'My Little Pony' is making a comeback. Time to dye your hair pink!
I think my pants are hiding up here somewhere...
Danny Gokey is performing tonight? I thought his career ended with "Dream On."
"Self portrait." (What do you want - I don't have any hands.)

Whether kissed by trade winds in Hawaii, home to dozens of unique cultures in the Caribbean, or scoured by Nor'easter's off the coast of Maine, islands are magnetic to burnt-out urbanites but tend to be tough places for natives. I was a guest not long ago of Fernando Menis, an architect who has built an international reputation from Tenerife, in the Canary Islands. It's not easy to be true to a unique place – as he aspires to be – when what works locally doesn't always "translate" in the globalized and image-driven world of architecture.
Thanks to Planetizen, I found "Opportunity Urbanism," a report that posits Houston as "an emerging paradigm for the 21st century." (There's a related op-ed here.) The report, regrettably, is a manifesto as empty as the title -- which Kotkin clearly hopes will become a catchphrase. So why is it important?
Houston or Holland? The rapidly growing suburbs of Madrid uncomfortably (and instructively) amalgamate some of both. I was lucky to receive a recent tour from David Cohn, a long-time colleague and 20-year resident of Madrid; Sylvia Perea, a post-doctoral student and, until recently, an editor at the journal Arquitectura Viva, and Emilio Ontiveros, a young architect of the local Research Group on Social Housing.
The corner café on North Second Street in the Northern Liberties neighborhood of Philadelphia aspires to Euro-style café culture though it lines a little-trafficked street of row houses showing every year of their century and a half of existence, and faces a vast empty, chain-linked block where a brewery once stood.
Scrambling to grab that elusive "American Dream" of homeownership, millions plunged into the subprime mortgage market to build wealth through appreciation (if not speculation). Pundits cheered as the ownership rate crept up, lauding the pluck of aspirational minority and immigrant families.
There's a reason it is called subprime, though. Lenders offered a smorgasborg of loan "products," but the bottom line was that they are all very costly for the borrower – often entailing adjustable-rate surprises in the 30 percent or higher range.
Thousands of New Orleanians have participated in planning their post-Katrina future – likely more than in any single American city-planning effort, ever. Unfortunately, the New Orleans experience definitively demonstrates the limits of orthodox community-focused planning, the kind that has been neighborhood-based and consensus-driven.

WeePhone Product Review
By Mike Riley on Tue, 05/25/2010
With the advent of the next iPhone OS featuring the ability, according to Apple's website to "make a Voice over IP call while playing a game," iPhone-targeted VoIP-enabled SIP (Session Initiated Protocol) clients will receive renewed focus once this new OS ships. In preparation for this event, I have taken a look at one of the more well-received commercially available SIP clients for the current iPhone OS. WeePhone, developed by iPhone programmer Justin Brady. Justin has progressively improved this client application over time - the version reviewed in this article is 1.5.4.

Latin Summer Hits 2013
by Judy Cantor-Navas | July 1, 2013
We know, you're tired of hearing the word "caliente" to describe Latin music. But this is the season when hits really go with hot. Tropical rhythms always feel like summer, and the most popular songs this season include salsa, reggaeton, bachata and vallenato from Marc Anthony, Carlos Vives, Yandel (of Wisin & Yandel) and Toby Love, among others. Illya Kuryaki & The Valderramas supply this summer's novelty song ("Ula Ula"), while artists including Grupo Treo and One43 provide more of the light sounds we like to sing and dance to when temperatures rise. Though many of these songs are sure to fade from the charts by the time fall comes, they will forever sound like the summer of 2013.

This recipe was incredibly simple. I added a lemon syrup made of 1/4 c lemon juice and 1/4 c of sugar. Placed on low heat until sugar dissolves and pour over cake. I also added a lemon glaze made of 1 c confectioner's sugar (sifted) 1 3/4 Tbs of lemon juice whipped together until smooth, and poured over a completely cooled cake. It was outstanding. Thank you for the recipe.
This recipe has compelled me to write a review! Do not make this cake. I did not care for this recipe. And if I could have given it a negative star I would have. It took over an hour and a half to cook, not 30 minutes. The crumb was uneven in many places as well as flavors. And of course the crust was hard as a rock, but amazingly despite the 1hr 45 min cooking time , the inside was moist. I was forced to make a glaze because the cake isn't sweet enough. The Glazed Lemon Bundt Cake is much better. All that said... I wish people on this site would rate recipes only if they've actually used it as is. Frankly I am tired of people listing the dozen or so changes that they make to a recipe then giving it 4 or 5 stars!

This recipe makes an excellent pound cake in my estimation...there's just not enough lemon flavour to justify its name. That's the only reason for four stars instead of 5.
I added lemon zest to the batter; then drizzled a lemon juice/sugar solution over the fresh-out-of-the-oven cake and the lemon flavour was still very subtle. However, that being said, this is still an excellent pound cake and I won't hesitate to use this recipe again.
By the way, I didn't cut in the butter as per instructions. I creamed the butter with sugar & egg, added the extracts, then added the dry ingredients alternately with the milk. Took about 50 minutes until done.
This recipe works best for muffins! I used the same ingredients, but first mixed the flour, b.powder & salt. Then, separately, I creamed the sugar and butter and added the rest of the ingredients to this. I then folded in the dry ingredients to the wet. They made 12 muffins and cooked in 27 minutes. I also added a lemon glaze on top, and they were delicious!!!
This cake is really spongy and moist. I used cake flour instead and it turned out just sooo delicious. I baked it for 55 minutes but it didn't matter. My boyfriend is a picky cake eater, but he ate half loaf after he gave it a try!
I think that you might have been using a convection oven because I had to bake this cake for at least 1 hour. I added a little more lemon than the recipe calls for and it turned out fantastic!! Thanks Kimberly.
Great texture and VERY easy to make. I also used 1 1/2 recipe to fill a 9x5 loaf pan and it baked about 70 minutes. I found it had a little too much salt and would have liked more lemon flavor. Added lemon zest and next time will add more and maybe some lemon juice. Could change the extract to almond, toss in some mini choc chips and have a totally different yummy cake!
I added lemon zest and juice from one lemon as other reviewers did, which punched up the flavor considerably. However this loaf took MUCH longer than 1/2 hr to cook, more like an hour. It rose nicely in the oven, but when I took it out it fell considerably and became a condensed lemon puck! I think it might have something to do with the cutting in of the butter and not creaming the sugar and butter together?? What other cake/loaf recipie cuts in butter? Too many changes are needed to make this recipie worthwhile - I would suggest trying another.

After basing an entire family around the Falcon 50's super-critical wing, Dassault has come under pressure from the market for longer range and faster flight since the mid-1980s, says Jean Rosanvallon, president of Dassault Falcon Jet.
Initial studies resulted in the Falcon 50EX, which, re-engined with Honeywell TFE731-40 turbofans, increases maximum speed to Mach 0.80 from M0.75. This was, however, a stopgap. Last year Dassault unveiled plans for the new 7X (Flight International, 6-12 November, 2001). With a range of 10,550km (5,700nm), the 7X will fly 26% further than the Falcon 900EX, but is still behind rivals the Bombardier Global Express, at 11,130km, and Gulfstream V, at 12,046km. But Rosanvallon says that when the company analysed all the major city pairs, it found that 10,000km was ample for most typical journeys.
Dassault says that speed and fuel efficiency are more important, but the 7X's maximum speed at Mach 0.9 is only fractionally faster than M0.88 for the GV and the Global Express. With a maximum difference in cabin width of only 0.3m (12in) between the three, Dassault is betting heavily on its wing aerodynamics giving it the edge. The 7X is Dassault's largest aircraft and has a new "high-transonic" wing, and a higher sweep and aspect ratio than the current Falcon wing. Dassault claims that this optimised shape (both aerofoil and planform) improves the lift-to-drag ratio by a factor of more than 10, while maintaining sufficient fuel volume. Use of a third engine means that the 7X will maintain a low approach speed necessary for short take-offs and landings.
Rosanvallon says that the new wing will underpin the entire Falcon range for the next 30 years. The company holds over 40 deposits on the trijet, which is likely to sell for $37 million and be certificated in mid-2006, with first delivery later that year.

Weight loss to blame for CC Sabathia's woes?
Aug 4, 2013, 11:10 PM EDT
In his latest column for the Boston Globe, Nick Cafardo cites a "talent evaluator", who thinks CC Sabathia's weight loss is to blame for his lack of success in 2013.
Some players just perform better carrying more weight. Sabathia seems to be one of them. Some think such a theory is silly, that Sabathia is merely showing wear and tear after being a workhorse for so many years. But doesn't it make some sense?
"The weight loss has created a balance problem for him," said one talent evaluator. "He's all over the place. He's learning how to pitch in that body, a body he's really never had. I don't think there's anything wrong with him other than that. Sometimes you pitch at a certain weight all your life and then someone has the brilliant idea that you should lose weight because it's putting stress on your knees, you do it, and then you're dealing with something else."
Sabathia has a 4.78 ERA in 152.2 innings over 23 starts this season, easily the worst season of his career. His average fastball velocity is below 91 MPH for the first time dating back to 2002, when FanGraphs' pitch speed data begins. The 24 home runs he has allowed thus far is already a career-high, surpassing the 22 surrendered last year. The Yankees are nearly through the second year of Sabathia's five-year, $122 million contract.
- beefytrout - Aug 4, 2013 at 11:19 PM
Remember on "The Sopranos" when the guy playing Vito lost a ton of weight? He had a distinct waddle when he walked afterwards, because the body is accustomed to certain weight shifts.
- yahmule - Aug 5, 2013 at 10:16 AM
I remember they focused way too much on him during that final terrible season when David Chase and James Gandolfini were already sick to death of doing the show.
- beefytrout - Aug 5, 2013 at 10:24 AM
Too soon.
- yahmule - Aug 5, 2013 at 10:41 AM
Too soon to say David Chase wanted to do four seasons of that show at the absolute maximum and fan pressure and HBO's millions caused him to do two more when his heart clearly wasn't in it?
I was saying that while it was happening. Go watch all six seasons in a row. The dropoff in quality begins in season four and accelerates rapidly. Season six, devoted so lovingly to Vito and AJ, was an unmistakable message from Chase that he didn't want to be there anymore.
- youngyankee - Aug 5, 2013 at 2:32 PM
too soon on the "…James Gandolfini were already sick to death.. " , you ass.

WEIGHT LOSS the cause of his woes = nah
AGE GAIN as the cause of his woes = yeah

If you are a fan of Oakland, you do not want to hear about Bartolo Colon loosing weight.

Quick! get him a juice box! oh wait~!
- hittfamily - Aug 4, 2013 at 11:38 PM
Some people perform better because of extra weight.
Sweet! Against my wife's wishes, I'm going to have a second Klondike Bar tonight, and if this theory is true, she will thank me multiple times later.
- dickclydesdale - Aug 5, 2013 at 12:11 AM
Babe Ruth was a fat slob during his prime so I agree with this theory. If Babe would have been limited to salad he would not have dominated.
- largebill - Aug 5, 2013 at 7:01 AM
Actually, that is a common misconception about Ruth. Film was not common early in his career so majority of the action shots of Ruth are from later in his career. However, still shots from first half of his career are prevalent and show him to be a fit athletic man. After his prime he put more weight on.
- cohnjusack - Aug 5, 2013 at 7:10 AM
Why you gotta dispel that myth and take away fat people's athletic role model?
Fine, I'll just start a new myth. Willie Mays actually weighed 400 pounds. The Giants uniforms we just very sliming.
- paperlions - Aug 5, 2013 at 8:01 AM
Fat people still have Charles Barkley, and Prince Fielder, and David Wells…all kinds of fat athletes to look up to
- yahmule - Aug 5, 2013 at 10:20 AM
Ruth averaged roughly 12 triples and 10 SB's a season between the ages of 23 and 28.
- bigharold - Aug 5, 2013 at 12:27 PM
cohnjusack …
Can you tell me where I can get one of those Giant uniforms?
- dirtyharry1971 - Aug 5, 2013 at 12:25 AM
Cc had some elbow surgery this off season, he will be more then fine. Anyone with any ounce of common sense knows this. Look at he guy's K numbers? Next year he will be in the top 4 of Cy young voting. Only the fools out there and haters see something else and god knows we got TONS of those people!
- dan1111 - Aug 5, 2013 at 1:02 AM
I think next year he'll have only one win.
- dirtyharry1971 - Aug 5, 2013 at 8:42 AM
I think next year you will have 1 brain cell, oh wait….
- nbjays - Aug 5, 2013 at 9:29 AM

He's having a bad year ppl.. Nothing to do with weight loss lmao.. Baseball players go they things called slumps… CC will be fine fat or skinny.
- spacemaker101 - Aug 5, 2013 at 1:45 AM
He's having a bad year ppl.. Nothing to do with weight loss lmao.. Baseball players go they things called slumps… CC will be fine fat or skinny.
- sportsfan18 - Aug 5, 2013 at 3:10 AM
I don't think weight has to do with.
He's thrown a lot innings for many consecutive years now and he is a work horse to be sure, like that about him… but still
2007 241.0 reg season innings. 15.1 postseason innings. Total 256.1 innings.
2008 253.0 reg season innings. 3.2 postseason innings. Total 256.2 innings.
2009 230.0 reg season innings. 36.1 postseason innings. Total 266.1 innings.
2010 237.2 reg season innings. 16.0 postseason innings. Total 253.2 innings.
2011 237.1 reg season innings. 8.2 postseason innings. Total 246.0 innings (just missed 5th consecutive season with over 250 innings pitched by a lowly 4 innings)
2012 200.0 reg season innings. 21.1 postseason innings. Total 221.1 innings. (only made 28 starts in 2012 vs between 33 & 35 starts the previous 5 seasons so he "only" pitched 221 innings).
And the man has pitched on 3 days rest several times in the seasons above.
Over the past 6 seasons, CC has thrown the most innings in all of MLB. And if CC remains healthy and makes his scheduled starts from now until the end of this season, he'll make it the most innings pitched in the big leagues over the past 7 seasons.
Work horse or not, it will catch up with you eventually.
Greg Maddux threw over 200 innings in 17 out of 18 seasons during part of his 23 yr career. The one yr in that 18 season stretch, he "only" threw 199.1 reg season innings. He was over with the post season total added to that. But Maddux never threw hard.
CC has lost speed off his fastball for several yrs in a row and he is learning how to pitch differently due to that more than his weight loss.
This season, Sabathia has averaged, according to Pitch/FX data from Fangraphs, only 90 m.p.h. on his fastball, a drop of more than 2 m.p.h. from last season, and the slowest average of his career. Only two years ago, Sabathia averaged 94 m.p.h. Furthermore, he has thrown his changeup more this season — almost 25 percent of the time — than he has the past two seasons (13 percent).
With his fastball the slowest of his career, Sabathia is relying on his changeup more than ever. But the speed difference between the two pitches — only 5 m.p.h., according to Fangraphs — is decreasing in almost every start. Goldschmidt's home run came on an 82-m.p.h. changeup.
Sabathia threw just four fastballs in his final three innings. Meanwhile, his first four pitches of the game were fastballs, none harder than 89 m.p.h. Clearly, he no longer trusts his fastball the way he once did. He credited his survival to "smoke and mirrors."
"It's the reality," Sabathia said. "I've never been through anything like this, so I don't know. I'm not going to lose sleep over it. I've been pitching for a long time. Eventually, this was going to happen."
- yahmule - Aug 5, 2013 at 10:26 AM
This post should be required reading for all baseball writers before they throw in their own two cents. Somehow I find the research that was done by sportsfan18 to be far more compelling then Cafardo's "Fat CC good, not as fat CC bad" theory.
- dlhouse18 - Aug 5, 2013 at 11:14 AM
This was the article I was looking for. I'd rather see the facts before jumping to some superstitious conclusion that weight would make a difference. There are some guys (well, a lot of them) that are smaller than C.C. and can throw much faster. This is more than a problem with his mechanics.
- busifriend - Aug 5, 2013 at 3:35 AM
Weight loss should be a personalized goal. How much one should lose depends on the person's activity and lifestyle. http://green-coffee-bean-max-review.webs.com/
- s2mikey - Aug 5, 2013 at 5:49 AM
Another out of shape, under performing, overpaid baseball player. Aren't they all? The ones in shape are on steroids. Baseball has become the biggest joke in pro sports. There's only like five good teams. Even .200 hitters and .500 pitchers with 5.00 era's make huge money. Each hitter steps out of the box after every pitch to make 27 adjustments to their glove and shirt. How do you people even watch this crap?
- nbjays - Aug 5, 2013 at 9:32 AM
Begone, troll. Back to PFT with you.
- yahmule - Aug 5, 2013 at 10:30 AM
You suck at this. You're all over the map. Pick one inflammatory issue and hammer it home in some uniquely stupid way. Only then will you realize your potential as a troll and find the true fulfillment that has evaded you in real life.
You're welcome.
- stex52 - Aug 5, 2013 at 10:40 AM
I am looking forward to the start of the football season when all of these guys migrate back to PFT. I'll bet the average IQ on HBT will go up 20 points.
- jimeejohnson - Aug 5, 2013 at 12:15 PM
DipweedHarry brings the collective IQ down on these blogs. He's one of the most ignorant sports fans EVER! Skip his stupid, hateful posts to avoid the dumbing down that goes with reading bullshit.
- eshine76 - Aug 5, 2013 at 7:45 AM
I'm assuming that CC lost his weight the right way, through diet and exercise, rather than starving himself and taking hydroxicut. Therefore, he'd have as much muddle, of not more to throw around less weight. That could lead to some control issues in the spring, I suppose, but I can't see how that would less to decreased velocity.
