It's important to keep yourself prepared for every gig. Your guitar may look great and your amp may be top of the line, but without cables no one is ever going to hear them. Luckily, there is a wide assortment of instrument cables available to suit the needs of any musician. You might be surprised to learn that there are a lot of things to keep in mind when you're purchasing instrument cables. First you need to ask yourself "What am I going to be using this for?" Different cables are ideal for different jobs. For example, if you're daisy chaining your collection of pedals, you may want to check out the DiMarzio Jumper Cable Pedal Coupler or the Musician's Gear Pedal Coupler Cable Angled. Both are conveniently sized to allow you to maximize your pedal setup without having to deal with annoying tangles. However, there are times when a shorter cable simply will not do, especially if you want the freedom to roam the stage while you're performing. With options available ranging from 4 feet to over 25 feet, you won't feel restricted to one area of when you're playing your instrument. For those who are looking for a little flash when they're playing, there are several instrument cables available to help you stand out. The Musician's Gear Tweed Right Angle Instrument Cable offers a seriously hip design that's definitely going to complement your style. If you're into more of a retro vibe, the Lava Retro Coil 20 Foot Instrument Cable Straight-Right Angle is a total blast from the past, with a cool, head turning coil design. Durable cables are easily overlooked for their role in your sound, but without them, you're probably not going to get very far. With an assortment of cables at your disposal, you will be ready to plug in and play without issue, making them a must have for any musician.

By JAMES FRANKLIN RINEHARTPrice
The Biggest threat to U.S. Sovereignty at the present time is the Bush Administration's attempt to lock the United States into a 34-nation Western Hemisphere economic union called the Free Trade Agreement of the Americas (FTAA). This plan is to be implemented by first rushing CAFTA (U.S.-Central American Free Trade Agreement) through Congress early in 2005.
FTAA and CAFTA would subject U.S. sovereignty and commerce to panels and tribunals dominated by other Western Hemisphere countries. President George W. Bush approved this goal when he signed the Declaration of Quebec City on April 22, 2001, which is a "commitment to hemispheric integration" larded with favorite UN double talk such as "interdependent," "greater economic integration" and "sustainable development."
The United States is an oasis of freedom and prosperity in the Western Hemisphere, that's why people from other countries are risking their lives to come here, legally or illegally. Americans have everything to lose if we subject ourselves to tribunals dominated by the socialist pro-gay country to our north and the corrupt and Communist governments to our south. The real purpose behind FTAA and CAFTA is to integrate low-wage workers in other Western Hemisphere countries into the U.S. economy. This will make U.S. citizens compete with millions of workers willing to work for pennies a day.
Tell the members of Congress that you consider a vote for CAFTA or FTAA to be a vote against America, against our sovereignty and independence, and against jobs for U.S. Citizens.

text: The fountain in front of the College of Eastern Utah Library has been a fixture on campus for nearly three decades. But next years new and returning students will not see it. Monday crews began tearing it down because over the years it has deteriorated to the point that it is almost unusable. The concrete with the stone was leaking and the pumps were almost worn out. Future plans include a revamp of that part of campus in conjunction with planting lawn where the old Reeves Building use to stand. Another large fountain will be erected somewhere else on campus in the future.

The City Council informally agreed on Monday night to spend $3.3 million on a major upgrade at the nearly 40-year-old Watertown Municipal Arena at the Alex T. Duffy Fairgrounds.
But the Parks and Recreation Department's proposed five-year capital project plan will not include appropriating an additional $4 million to build a second sheet of ice. Only Councilman Jeffrey M. Smith, who is involved in a local youth hockey organization, supported the ice rink expansion.
In supporting just the renovations, Mayor Jeffrey E. Graham said it was best to proceed with plans that council members already "had common ground on."
"I just don't think this body is willing to do the other things," the mayor told Parks and Recreation Superintendent Erin E. Gardner, who proposed the plans as separate options.
Under the $3.3 million upgrade, the city would spend $1.09 million next year on fixing locker rooms, replacing the bleachers, building a pole barn for equipment storage and completing roof design work. The roof, the floor and the fire suppression system would be completed in 2014-15 at a cost of nearly $2 million. The remaining $220,000 in upgrades would be adding a Zamboni room and improving the lobby during the third year.
For several years, the ice rink's roof has been plagued with leaks during heavy rainstorms. Two years ago, a consultant concluded that proceeding with additional repairs on the roof might be fruitless.
The second sheet of ice would have been completed during years four and five. It would have been used year-around, presumably by youth hockey, the Thousand Islands Privateers minor hockey team and adult hockey programs.
Mr. Smith contended that the city could proceed with the bidding process for the second sheet of ice and then not go forward with the project if its cost came in too high. He said that a need exists for the expansion because hockey groups go to Alexandria Bay and Syracuse for ice time during the spring and summer months.
For years, the city has talked about adding a second of sheet of ice but the project has never gotten off the ground. In a 2009 study, consultant Bernier, Carr & Associates initially failed to include in its final report — to the disappointment of Mr. Smith and Councilman Joseph M. Butler Jr. — the feasibility of constructing an expansion to house a second sheet of ice.
A month later, the engineering firm came back with a cost of $5.8 million for a 37,000-square-foot expansion. The study, however, recommended $6 million in renovations.
On Monday night, Mr. Butler said he would have to see an analysis of how much revenue would be generated by the rink expansion before he would consider the project. Mrs. Gardner was unable to provide that information Monday night.
In a related matter, council members approved yet another new plan for the rink's concession stand. Last week, the state Liquor Authority reversed its recent decision that a local catering company, Savory Beverage and Beyond, must sell both beer and food during the Privateers' hockey games.
As council members agreed Monday night, Savory will continue to sell alcohol, while the city can operate the food concession stand for the remainder of the Federal Hockey League team's season.
Council members also heard from a representative of Evergreen Partners, Ipswich, Mass., about a plan to purchase Maple Courts for $3.7 million and then spend nearly $10 million to completely renovate the apartment complex off Weldon Drive.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by grandpa don gracies favorite My year and a half year old grandchild gracie is infatuated with the sock she has one favoite her (kiki) but grandpa buys her everything I see sock monkey I get for her . Whdn she started playing with that it quickly became one ofmher closest favorites I sure hope they are made the good old way cause even though she s spoiled with tons of toys its realy getting a workout....... thanks guys grandpa don January 8, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by NBLD Smiles-in-the-box I bought my husband the Sock-Monkey-in-the-box as a sort of "gag" present for Christmas. I figured he'd wind it up once, shake his head and move on to another gift. Boy, was I wrong! It has been wound and rewound too many times to count and every time the monkey pops out we BOTH smile. I guess it evokes memories of our simpler, pre-computer childhoods. Whatever. I'm just glad I decided to buy it! December 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by MEMAJ SOCK MONKEY IN THE BOX (SIMILAR TO JACK IN THE BOX) i was attracted to the sock monkeybecause there are sock dolls like this and also because my children had a jack in the box, that after turning the handling jumps up..scares the child. and it is over and over. my great grandson is two-and-a-half but very smart and he loved the monkeys which he called "ee,ee" due to the sound they made. i bought this monkey in the box for him to also have memories as my children did. December 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Dahmooren My 18 month old loves this toy! Although my son is already too smart for the latch operation which moves to release the lid when the song is finished, he will let me play the whole song by cranking the knob on the side, as he firmly places his hand on the top of the box, and then releases the door himself with a big, "Weeeee"; which happens to be a caption on the side of the box too. (Cute) It is a nice toy, but I am always shocked at how expensive everything is in the world, especially quality toys...29.95 plus tax at the store in Weston, VT. This one is worth it. February 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by panda Very nostalgic Will be giving this as a gift to a 1 year old in 2 weeks. Love the sock monkeys. When my kids were young (they are now 25 and 23), I hand-made sock monkeys for them and the monkeys were named George & Georgette so seeing the sock monkey in a "jack-in-the-box is wonderful!

OK, OK, you can bring the kids back into the room, we're not talking that kinda horny here. The hickory horned devil is the largest caterpillar in North America. It is the larval stage of the regal moth, Citheronia regalis, and in its last instar or molt before pupating it can grow to between five and six inches long. That is five to six inches long and 3/8-inch in diameter of mean, green dangerous caterpillar-looking machine.

Institutional Distrust, James Dolan and Learning to Love the 2012-13 Knicks
Brian DiMenna
I'm going to piggy-back off an earlier post from Tommy because he asks a very good question:
This Knicks team is very good and is proving it nightly. Then why is it that people are waiting for the bubble to burst? Why aren't people over Jeremy Lin yet? Why do I feel as if some Knicks fans, the die hards that I've been in the trenches with online here for almost a decade, aren't as excited about the Knicks start as others?
I bring this up because I think he's right, and yet I think I also understand the other side.
Over the last thirty-five or so years in American life, I think we've seen an erosion of public trust in our institutions. Beginning with the Vietnam War and Watergate — "Wait, are you serious, this is a Knicks blog post, right?" Yes, just go with it — and lasting all the way to the financial crisis of the late aughts, Americans have come to distrust the country's largest institutions. With the exception of the military, public opinion of elites, from Congress to the Supreme Court to major financial institutions, has fallen, and it's had a deleterious effect on our ability to solve problems.
"Ok, dude, so what the hell are you getting at?"
Well, I think a similar phenomenon helps explain the general lack of enthusiasm for the current Knicks. "You're joking?" No, here goes.
As most of us are well aware, the Knicks are overseen by a controversial figure in James Dolan. Dolan's handling of the team has been nothing short of a disaster, and yet he reigns as the unaccountable leader of the organization we all hold so dear. It's a bit like being a subject of the North Korean government. Information is scarce, and what dribbles out seems divorced from the reality. Yes, I'm saying rooting for the Knicks in this period has been something like living in North Korea, except maybe not quite as bad. They do let us watch the games, which is nice.
The nadir of his tenure was probably reached when he actually tried to re-hire then FIU head coach Isiah Thomas back as a consultant. Could there have been an owner more insistent on spitting in the eye of his fan base than Dolan trying to bring back Isiah? Aside from all the losing — and let us not forget, there was plenty of it — Thomas's run ended with an expensive and hugely embarrassing sexual harassment suit. But Dolan's reaction was, "So when can I get him back in the mix?"
Dolan's stewardship has led to just a general distrust in everything the Knicks do. This distrust affected the way the Carmelo Anthony trade was perceived. If we're thinking rationally about it, the idea the Knicks gave up too much is kind of laughable, particularly the last minute worry that the team really shouldn't part with Timofey Mozgov.
But if you'll recall the period, you'll remember that there were numerous reports toward the tail end of the negotiations that Dolan had gotten heavily involved. Seemingly out of nowhere, Dolan was meeting privately with Denver owner Stan Kroenke. I don't think there were really a lot of Mozgov-jersey clad fans screaming, "NO! NOT TIMMY!!!" But just a sense that, "Oh no, Dolan's blowing this!" whether that perception was really fair or not, it felt uncomfortable seeing things taken out of the hands of our wise old overseer Donnie Walsh.
The same can be said with the team's decision to ultimately part ways with Jeremy Lin. At the end of the day, it's a pretty defensible decision. It WAS a lot of money, to a mostly unproven player, with little guarantee that it would work out, but the way it went down led to massive skepticism because what had sounded like a certainty all offseason, out of nowhere didn't happen, with rumors swirling that Dolan had become personally offended by Lin's negotiating posture. It was hard not to picture an enraged Dolan throwing down his saxophone in a fit and vowing revenge over the point guard's perceived audacity, "NO ONE does this to JD and the Straight Shot! NO ONE!" It did not inspire confidence.
With Lin gone, the Knicks instead pursued veteran free-agents all well past their primes. Were these on the merits good moves? Yes. There's little doubt the Knicks were immediately improved, but it was hard not to be skeptical. Many couldn't help feeling that Dolan had ruined Linsanity, added nothing but 40-year olds and set the team up for another disaster.
This Grantland piece by Ben Detrick makes a great case that the Knicks' moves were the result of strong analytical reasoning and advanced metrics, but the assumption was of an impetuous Dolan calling all the shots.
So I understand those who have been bracing themselves, expecting that somehow this still isn't going to work out, and this season will simply be another in a decade long streak of humiliating failure. But Tommy Dee is still right. Assuming that any actions taken by the Knicks are automatically flawed because James Dolan owns the team is self defeating.
For once, it looks like the Knicks are doing things right. That is a thing that is possible.
I know you've been hurt. Like a wary "Bachelor" contestant, your walls are up. But I'm here to tell you it's time to open up. It's time to let them in. It's time to throw caution into the wind, get in that hot tub and learn to love again.
Could it all blow up in your face, leaving you to do things like try and explain to yourself how it was you ever really rooted for Eddy Curry (Remember that Eddy should make the All-Star team year? That was funny)? Sure, but it still beats waiting around for the roof to cave in. Who knows, maybe this is the year it finally doesn't.

I have been asked to create a site for a student group at my university. The problem is that I've never written a line of PHP code in my life. I would therefore greatly appreciate it if you could read the following and post your comments tips and trics.
The site should primarily be a community site for social scientists working on questions related to Latin-America and the Caribean. Members should be able to register and to post news and articles. The following has been suggested to me.
1. A member discussion board.
2. A member personal profile. This should be editable and should sort members according to which country they have been studying in, the subject of their research and the University they work at. It should also allow them to list their publications, and to edit this list as it increases.
It would be cool if this could, somehow, be linked to a map on the first page so that when clicking on a specific country, say Nicaragua, one would the get a list of the people registered on that country.
4. Some way of displaying the member names in a table showing name, country and subject.
3. I have been considering a mailing list, but I don't believe it would be worthwile considering the amount of work it would take to keep it going.
4. A way of publishing articles and thesis' such as master thesis's etc. preferably in word format. (optional)
I know this is a lot to ask, but having surfed the net for a while, it seems possible to find editable scripts that can be adaptet for this. I would very much appreciate any suggestions and recommendations to such scripts (free) and anything else that can simplify the making of this site.
Best regards

No doubt youÂ've seen the lovely and lithesome Chanel Iman before: perhaps on the cover of Vogue last spring with fellow future supermodels, in GapÂ's spring ad campaign, or even right here in our Met Gala story. The reason weÂ're turning our MOTM spotlight on the 18-year-old native Angeleno is because right now Ms. Iman is having a (you guessed it) moment in the fashion world and deserves to be celebrated.
The aptly named model is enjoying a career uptick that surely makes her the envy of her peers. Iman had a very strong Fall 08 runway season and landed coveted shows galore including Matthew Williamson, Bottega Veneta, and Yves Saint Laurent (plus over 40 more). In addition to the Gap, sheÂ's also one of the faces in Ralph LaurenÂ's spring ads and we heard that sheÂ's clinched a position in the VictoriaÂ's SecretÂ's upcoming PINK campaign. Most exciting of all, Iman is appearing in the heavily anticipated July issue of Vogue Italia that will solely feature black models. The noteworthy issue was shot by Steven Meisel and is rumored to include rising star Jourdan Dunn, Veronica Web, and Iman (the Somalian stunner, just to clarify).
As ImanÂ's work profile has been ascending, weÂ've noticed her personal style is escalating as well. She favors snugly tailored jackets, skinny jeans, and a solid pair of ankle boots for her pre-show uniform, but we adore her vibrant moments as well, like when she broke out a ruffled Michael Kors dress for a CFDA cocktail party last week. We also appreciate the fact that Iman often turns to a signature sizeable accessoryÂ--the statement necklaceÂ--to personalize her simple dresses. If this is how sheÂ's putting herself together two years into her career, we canÂ't wait to see what sheÂ'll be wearing in twenty. Â--Lily Huber

CUMBERLAND -- Tracy Fay, owner of Lizzy's Enchanted Creamery, has had her share of ups and downs.
I have been Tracy's account representative at The Call, The Times and the Neighbors publications for three and one-half years, and in that time I've seen those ups and downs for myself. Tracy opened her business, Lizzy's Enchanted Creamery, on Mendon Road in Cumberland, eight years ago. This was not your typical ice cream shop; she took pride in making her own ice cream and gelato. She would take customers' suggestions for new flavors and even include the Girl Scouts to create flavors using Girl Scout Cookies. Tracy not only offered ice cream at her shop, she also combined children's toys, books, puzzles and more to bring customers in and enjoy themselves while they were there.
As the business grew, she also added many events such as reading time, crafts classes, holiday events and so much more. She enjoyed what she did and rarely took time off for herself. No matter how hard Tracy worked, however, there were obstacles that were completely out of her control, such as the weather. Spring of 2009 was especially difficult; we really didn't have a spring that year. This is a time when her customers would normally stop in and try the new flavors and they knew summer was just around the corner but the bad weather combined with the tough economy made it a very difficult year. I knew from experience how it feels to have no control over your own success and would just sit with Tracy and talk. She would jokingly tell me to send her a bill for her therapy session. I wish now I could provide one of those therapy sessions and cure her most recent troubles: Tracy has been diagnosed with breast cancer and has decided to close Lizzy's Enchanted Creamery. As her husband Rob put it, "You can't fight two battles."
It was a very difficult decision for Tracy to make, however. Even with her own battle she had hoped to continue running the shop but quickly realized how tough that would be. Her mother, Kathy Stenovitch, comes down from New Hampshire every week to help run the store and help with Tracy and Rob's three children, Taylor, 13, Garrett, 6, and Logan, 4. As Tracy told me, "I couldn't have made it this far without her." Her sister, Nadine Stenovitch, even flies over from Burbank, California once a month for a week to help at the store and with the kids.
If Tracy could have fought this battle alone with no one knowing, she would have, but word quickly got out around town and now she is completely overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from her family and friends. She is surprised by the number of people who just stop by to offer any help they can, from babysitting to making meals; anything to relieve Tracy's stress and workload. All of this support actually helped her make the decision to close.
"When you get a diagnosis like I got, you feel alone. It didn't matter that I had the support of my immediate family, I felt like I was letting other people down and that I needed to continue for everyone else," she said. "I thought of my customers and their favorite ice cream, of the kids I saw grow up coming to my shop year after year. But as I began my chemotherapy, I knew I had no choice. "
As Tracy spoke to me about about how much she will miss her customers, her eyes watered so I changed the subject, otherwise we both would have been crying. But she did express how excited she is about spending more time with her husband and three children. She is also looking forward to this year's Relay For Life event taking place on June 10 and 11.
"I became involved with Relay For Life three years ago when Amy Moore, head of Relay for Life Cumberland, called me for a donation," Tracy said. "I decided to put my own team together in memory of my aunt, uncle and grandparents that I lost to cancer. This year has new meaning and I now have two teams: Lizzy's Illuminaters and Lizzy's Fireflys."
Tracy is still involved in the planning process as well and will have a fundraiser on Saturday, April 30, from 3 to 9 p.m. at the Cumberland Public Safety Union Hall. The event is called "Eat Chili - Fight Cancer Chili Cookoff." Tickets are $5.00 with all proceeds benefiting The American Cancer Society. (For more information, e-mail Marty at email@example.com [2]).
While Tracy has put together many events and fundraisers for The American Cancer Society, it's time for her to take a step back and let someone else do something for her. One of her customers, Nancy Pelletier, who has become a very good friend, has put together an event for Tracy. It will take place on Monday, May 16, from 6 to 9 p.m. at Cumberland House of Pizza. Donations are $25.00 and will include food, raffles and entertainment by local musician Joe Silva. (For tickets, call Nancy at 401-952-1981).
While speaking with Tracy this past Thursday, I couldn't help but notice how much more relaxed she was. She has accepted the closing of Lizzy's Enchanted Creamery and is ready to move on to the next chapter in her life, as difficult as that may be. She knows she needs to put herself and her family first and although she has the biggest battle still to fight, she knows how much support she has and will be taking things one day at a time. She would like to thank all of her customers for supporting her business over the years and thank all of those supporting her today.
Although I am Tracy's account representative and not a reporter, I chose to write this story myself. In three and one-half years, Tracy became more of a friend than a customer to me. I could relate to the ups and downs of business, as I once owned my own business. But most important, I wanted her thoughts and feelings expressed in a way that can't be done without knowing her.
On behalf of The Call, the Times and the Neighbors publications, we wish Tracy and her family all the best.

The treaty, concluded in 1963 by Charles de Gaulle and Konrad Adenauer in the Elysee Palace in Paris, set a new tone of reconciliation between France and Germany, and called for consultations between the two countries to come to a common stance on policies affecting the most important partners in Europe as well as the rest of the region. Since its establishment, the document for improved bilateral relations has been seen by many as the driving force behind European integration. (Photo by Adam Berry/Getty Images)

By RICHARD SHAWFocus pages editor
While the idea of Xeriscaping is nothing new, it is something that people have only taken up world wide in the last decade.
The actual term, Xeriscaping comes from the word xeric which means adapted to or pertaining to a dry environment.
Some people call it zeroscaping or xeroscaping, thinking that the word means zero plants or few plants or zero water use. That is just one of the many fallacies that people have about this type of landscaping.
Xeriscaping, which as a word, is a registered trademark of the National Xeriscape Council of Austin, Texas which is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to water conservation. The word however was actually created by a woman named Nancy Leavitt, an environmental planner for Denver Water in 1982. The NXC describes the term as meaning "water conservation through creative landscaping."
But while that basically describes it that doesn't mean it has to be exactly dry either, and even in a climate where things are extremely dry, it doesn't mean it has to be sparse. Actually it can be colorful, and even lush at times, in limited areas. A true xeriscape can have highly watered areas, but that is still consistent with wise water use.
Xeriscape is also not just rocks, gravel, blocks or cement. Plants and other growth is included in the true xeric design. What it really means in it's purest form is no added water for the growth; that it only survives on natural moisture. Limited forms of watering can also be used in controlled locations.
Xeriscapes can also include lawn, but not acres or large areas of it. The average American yard has a great deal of lawn that is not used for much except beauty, while those same areas could be rock or natural plants that require much less water and just as beautiful.
In addition, xeriscape is not necessarily native plants. When some people think of xeriscape in this area, they think that one can only plant Rabbit Brush, Sage and a few flowers like Indian Paint Brush. In actuality, non-invasive plants that are adapted to the regional climate can also be used. For instance, think of the spring flowers that grow from bulbs in the spring. Few people actually water tulips and daffodils to get them to grow and yet every year they come up in spectacular fashion all through the Castle Country area. These plants are not even from this continent, yet flourish in the high cold desert climate all by themselves. Other kinds of adapted plants that grow during the spring and summer can do the same.
It would also seem that the ultimate xeriscape would be pure concrete or black top; no water use at all. What xeriscape is, is the adaption of low water landscapes for beauty and utility in any area where they are planning and implemented.
In the past there has been some question as to whether residents of Carbon County, particularly in Price can actually xeriscape their yards. Price's land use development and management code actually states "Whenever a front yard is required, such yard shall be planted and maintained in lawn and shrubbery, except for walks and driveways." However according the city's planning and zoning department, that regulation will be changed to include xeriscaping later this year.
During the 1980's the traditional ideas about water began to change in the United States. In time, almost everyone has come to realize that water is a precious and limited resource, besides the fact that plants that consume less water are also easier on the household budget as well.
When people think of xeriscaping they often only think of it's use in the desert, but in actuality, residents of the prairies, in both Canada and the United States have been using it literally forever. With no realistic way to irrigate land from high water ways that run out of the hills, like in the mountain west, they have always had to put in plants and grasses that exist based on the natural moisture. The principles those in the prairies have used for centuries can also be utilized in the desert: good planning and design, soil improvement, effective irrigation systems, small and useful lawn areas, proper use of mulches and ground covering and ease of maintenance.
Xeriscape planning is important in a number of ways. To begin with like plants are grouped with other like plants during the planning procedure and installation. For instance plants that have like water needs are usually grouped together near the house or structure they are surrounding. This grouping is called a mini-oasis. In this way little water is wasted and the installation of irrigation systems can be kept to a minimum, thereby reducing cost as well.
Design of the configuration of the yard is important. The design of a xeriscape yard depends on four factors.
The sun. Which parts of the yard get the hot afternoon sun. The amount of sun any certain area receives will affect the type of plants that should be placed there.
The use of the yard or particular area. If the owner desires an outdoor living area possibly the patio area could be expanded surrounded by low water use type trees.
The views from or of the yard. Most people either want to keep a view or protect others from seeing in. The plant selection should reflect these desires.
The time it takes to maintain the landscape. Depending on how much an owner likes yard work, the types of plants selected can either be mainly trouble free or those that require heavy maintenance.
Another feature of xeriscaping is grading and terracing. The small plant areas are graded properly so most of the water goes into the soil for the plants and there is little runoff. Plants that need the most water are placed in positions where they will benefit from increased soil water content. Most beds are at ground level, because raised beds dry out much more quickly.
Because often planted areas within xeriscapes are much smaller, more attention can be paid to the soils that actually affect their growth and that provide the life giving moisture. Both clay and sandy soils can be improved for water retention and even for percolation. Sandy soils drain more readily and are easy to work, but they also don't hold water as well. Clay can hold a great deal of water, but the oxygen content is often low, particularly when very wet. Poor drainage can be a very big problem.
Both soil types can be improved by increasing their content of organic matter, as in adding manure or peat moss. One of the best things about xeriscaping is that with the small growing areas needed, natural soil can be brought up to standard with much less work and money than it would take to create that same kind of soil environment for traditional lawns and flowers.
Xeriscaping is a definite plus during a drought period, such as the county is experiencing now. It is a viable alternative for Castle Valley residents when planned and installed correctly.

Lipscomb (21-10)
Jacksonville (20-15)
4/1/2012 | Jacksonville, FL | Attendance: 123
Lipscomb (22-10)
Jacksonville (20-16)
4/1/2012 | Jacksonville, FL | Attendance: 126
Sunday, April 01, 2012
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – After waiting an extra day for the match-up, Lipscomb earned a doubleheader split against Jacksonville, Sunday, at the JU Softball Complex. The Lady Bison dropped a game-one heartbreaker, 1-0, but rebounded strong to topple the Dolphins 9-3 in the second game.
In what is certain to go down as one of the best pitcher's duels in the Atlantic Sun this year, Lipscomb senior Whitney Kiihnl and Jacksonville's Sarah Sigrest were stellar in the opener. Both were preseason All-Conference selections and lived up to those expectations on Sunday.
Neither side advanced a runner to second base through the first game's first six and a half innings. Kiihnl was the only batter for either team to get a hit in that time, singling to left field with one out in the third.
Jacksonville (20-16, 2-2 A-Sun) got runners on via walk on four occasions but never reached scoring position. Senior Mollie Mitchell was the only other Lipscomb (22-10, 2-2 A-Sun) base runner, coaxing a walk to lead off the second inning.
Kiihnl carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning, but was foiled by Jacksonville's Ronnie Gajownik. With one out in the bottom of the seventh, Gajownik hit a walk-off solo home run to left-centerfield, ending the game on Jacksonville's lone hit of the first game.
It was a bitter end for Kiihnl, who went 6.1 innings of near-perfect ball. She walked four and struck out three. To her credit, Jacksonville's Sigrest matched her each step of the way, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out eight for the complete-game shutout.
Game Two – Lipscomb 9, Jacksonville 3
In game two, the Jacksonville offense got on the board in the second inning. Ashley Simon doubled in Gajownik for the first run of the day, then came around to score on Melissa Morales' single up the middle.
Freshman Gracey Aguirre left her mark on this game in the top of the third. She hit her season's second home run, a solo shot to left field, to lead off the inning and cut the deficit in half.
Junior Kelsey Cartwright led off the fourth inning with a solo home run to tie it up. Her season's 11th home run sparked a four-run inning that would put the Lady Bison ahead for good.
Seniors Mollie Mitchell and Caroline Mason singled back-to-back, with Mitchell eventually coming around to score on a single by sophomore Kristen Sturdivant.
Sophomore Bridgette Begle drove in Mason with an infield single, advancing to second on a throwing error that also scored Sturdivant.
Gajownik scored an unearned run in the home half of the fourth. She singled to lead off the inning, advancing to second on a single by Simon and scoring from second on an error.
Mason added a solo home run, her second homer of the weekend and season's fifth, to lead off the sixth inning.
The Lady Bison would add three big insurance runs in the seventh thanks to sophomore Haley Elliott. After a Mitchell double and a Mason walk, Elliott clubbed her season's sixth home run to left field to extend the lead to six runs.
Mitchell, Mason, Sturdivant and Begle each collected two hits for Lipscomb in the second game of the doubleheader.
Redshirt freshman Ashley Anderson got the victory, tossing 4.1 innings and scattering seven hits and three runs, two earned. She struck out two. Kiihnl got the save, her season's second, throwing 2.2 and striking out three.
The Lady Bison open the home A-Sun schedule next weekend, hosting Florida Gulf Coast (Friday, April 6) and Stetson (Saturday, April 7) at Draper Diamond.

- thinly sliced scallion greens
Make broth:
Bring water, soy sauce, mirin, sansho pepper, shallot, and one third of garlic to a boil in a 1- to 2-quart heavy saucepan, then simmer 5 minutes. Let broth stand off heat 10 minutes.
Cook remaining garlic in oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring, until just golden. Add all mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3 minutes.
Strain broth through a fine-mesh sieve into mushroom mixture, discarding solids, and simmer 1 minute.
Sauté fish:
Pat fish dry and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot, then sauté fish, skin side down, turning once, until golden brown, just starting to flake, and just cooked through, about 10 minutes.
Transfer fish to shallow bowls. Reheat broth and divide among bowls, then sprinkle very lightly with more sansho pepper (if using).
Cooks' note: Broth can be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered (once cool). Gently reheat before using.

CANTON Four Buffalo men pleaded not guilty in St. Lawrence County Court on Tuesday to charges that they were involved in an Ogdensburg area drug ring.
Charles J.H. Caviness, 24; Eldridge Gossom, 25; Andre L. Wilson, 40; and Tige K. Smith Jr., 24, all formally maintained their innocence in brief appearances before Judge Jerome J. Richards. All have been charged with third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a Class B felony.
The Erie County men were arrested Dec. 6 following a raid by Ogdensburg police on an apartment at 325 Belmont Courts. Police said the arrests were the culmination of an ongoing investigation into crack cocaine trafficking in the city. Police have refused to say how much cash and crack were seized in the Dec. 6 raid; that information also was not included in publicly-available court documents when grand jury indictments were handed up against the men earlier this month.
Following their initial arraignment in Ogdensburg City Court last month, the defendants were committed to the St. Lawrence County jail, Canton, with Mr. Caviness, Mr. Wilson and Mr. Smith held in lieu of bail set at $10,000 cash or $20,000 bond, while Mr. Gossom was held on $20,000 cash or $40,000 bond.
Judge Richards lowered bail terms for the four on Tuesday: $7,500 cash or $15,000 bond for Mr. Caviness, Mr. Wilson and Mr. Smith, and $10,000 cash or $20,000 bond for Mr. Gossom.
No trial date has been set.

Farmed for nearly 300 years by the Rogers family, this leafy, peaceful site was slated for a 32-home development when The Trust for Public Land stepped up to conserve it
In 2005, The Trust for Public Land protected five acres along Tanyard Creek as a new park named for Louise Howard, the longtime owner of the property.
The Proctor Creek watershed separates Atlanta's BeltLine park system from the iconic Chattahoochee River. But although residents in this area are close to both waterways, they lack easy access to either one. We are working to help change that.
In May, 1864, Confederate troops under General Joseph E. Johnson dug fortifications into rolling hills in Resaca, Georgia, attempting to stall the Union Major General William T. Sherman's advance on Atlanta.
TPL helped purchase more than a dozen properties for the park, including a former factory that was demolished to make way for a much-needed new parking lot.
Boulevard Crossing Park was the first fully assembled new park along the Atlanta BeltLine.
TPL preserved over 8 acres in the Murphy Crossing area for the Atlanta Beltline project.
TPL preserved a 10-acre property at the entrance of Bellwood Quarry, which will be a new 300-acre park along Atlanta's Beltline.
The Atlanta Beltline project—a 22 mile loop of historic railroad that circles downtown and midtown Atlanta—connects 45 diverse neighborhoods, including many of the city's most underserved by parks, and provides an extraordinary opportunity to link parks, trails, and transit to foster more livable
Enota Park will connect the Westview neighborhood to the Atlanta BeltLine.

America's competitive edge in the global economy, the strength and versatility of its labor force, and its capacity to nourish research and innovation all depend on an education system capable of producing a steady supply of young people well-prepared in science.
But all along the pipeline from the quality of science instruction in the early grades, to the performance of high school seniors on international tests, to the content and rigor of teacher education programs in the nation's colleges and universities signs of weakness and deterioration exist.

POTSDAM Students in grades 7 through 12 showed off their inner theme park designer in a roller-coaster competition at Clarkson University Wednesday.
More than 50 students participated in 13 teams. Each submitted a small roller-coaster track designed for a marble to run, created out of household items.
I enjoyed working with everyone after school, said 9th-grader Rhiannon O. Dunn, of Colton-Pierrepont high school. Her four-person team submitted a military-themed coaster, using a vacuum hose from a swimming pool as part of the track.
The competition was the finale of Clarksons IMPETUS program, created to get kids engaged in science and mathematics before they head to college. IMPETUS stands for Integrated Math and Physics for Entry To Undergraduate STEM. STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.
This is one way that we can get students in middle school and high school to get more interested in science, said Clarkson physics professor Michael W. Ramsdell.
Students from nine school districts took monthly trips to Clarkson for programs to promote their interest in these fields, and Clarkson students took trips to the schools to continue the lessons there.
Its their opportunity to see what its like on a college campus, Mr. Ramsdell said.
At Wednesdays competition, students were quizzed on their knowledge of the science behind building their roller coasters. The entries were judged based on their length, adherence to the restrictions set and the complexity of the ride. Each loop counted as five points.
Ive always thought for a roller coaster, theres got to be at least one loop, said 8th-grader Brandon M. Bogart, of Ogdensburg Free Academy.
His team built a towering coaster out of insulation foam and red plastic cups that had not just one loop, but three, enough to impress the judges and win Ogdensburg the trophy for best coaster.
It was cool, because we could learn a lot more than we do in school, said 7th-grader Joseph T. Lalonde.
Harrisville Central School took home both second and third place. The third-place coaster was painted pink to honor breast cancer awareness, while the second was decorated with models of the Eiffel Tower, Sydney Opera House, and Big Ben.

Creighton Baseball Salutes Our Military Services with a package of events including, a pregame fly over and paratroop drop, as well as an elite color guard presentation and postgame fireworks. Friday's contest is a Veterans in Business Forum Event.
Saturday, May 17 - Senior Day
Prior to Saturday's contest, Creighton's six seniors and their parent (Michael Blatchfor, Jordan Makovica, Brennan Murphy, Nick Musec, Alex Staehely & Mark Winkelman) will be honored for their dedication to Bluejay baseball.
The Road So Far
A disappointing loss to Nebraska on Tuesday may have hurt the Jays' chances for an at-large bid, but at 28-15 entering the weekend the window remains cracked open.
The Bluejays close the regular season by hosting Missouri State for the Bluejays final MVC series in Creighton history. Both teams will enter the game on Friday with an 11-7 mark in conference. The team that takes the series is likely to finish third, while the losing team will place fourth.
The Road Ahead
Regardless of the outcome this weekend, the Bears and Bluejays would like nothing more than to meet one more time in 2013. For that to happen, both teams would need to reach the MVC Tournament Final. The MVC Tournament begins on Tuesday, May 21.
Jays vs. Missouri State
Creighton and Missouri State have played 81 times, with the Bears holding a slim 41-40 margin over the Jays. Under the guidance of Ed Servais that total is even closer, tied at 16-16. In 2011 the Jays took five of six meetings with Missouri State at TD Ameritrade Park Omaha, while the Bears swept the three meetings in Springfield, Mo. last year. Of the 81 meetings, 24 games have been decided by one run, the Jays hold a 14-10 edge in those contests.
Scouting the Bears (29-19, 11-7 MVC)
Two weeks ago Missouri State entered play at 27-12 and battling for the top seed in the MVC at 11-4. Since then the Bears have dropped seven of their last ten contests, including a six-game skid that featured a series sweep by Wichita State. Missouri State may have righted their ship last weekend, however, taking two of three from Wright State.
Hitting .272 as a team, the Bears offense is their weak link. Freshman Tate Matheny has been Missouri State's most potent offensive weapon, hitting .343 on the season. Matheny has a team-high four home runs, but also leads the team with 42 strikeouts. In MVC play the Bears have leaned on sophomore Eric Cheray, who is hitting .418 in leage play
On the mound Missouri State has arguably one of the top starting rotations in the conference, anchored by junior Nick Petree. The MVC Pitcher of the Year last season, Petree is making a case to defend that award in 2013. He is 8-1 on the season with a 1.55 ERA in 12 games. Despite not possessing overwhelming stuff, Petree has rung up 100 Ks in 87.0 innnigs. Behind Petree, Jonathan Harris and Andy Cheray have a combined 9-4 mark in 19 starts. The duo have a 3.72 and 2.82 respective ERA.
Defensively the Bears have committed 53 errors in 48 games, a .972 percentage (1894 chances).
MVC Seeding in a Nut Shell
Illinois State (#1, #2 or #4 seed)
#1 seed with a sweep of SIU
#2 seed if the Redbirds go 2-1 vs. SIU
#4 seed if swept by SIU and either MSU or Creighton sweep.
Wichita State (#1 or #2 seed)
#1 seed if Illinois State loses once to SIU
#2 seed if Illinois State sweeps SIU
Creighton (#2, #3 or #4 seed)
#2 seed if sweeps MSU & Illinois State is swept by SIU
#3 seed if wins series from MSU
#4 seed if loses sereis to MSU
Missouri State (#2, #3 or #4 seed)
#2 seed if sweeps Creighton & Illinois State is swept by SIU
#3 seed if wins series from Creighton
#4 seed if loses sereis to Creighton
Evansville (#5 seed)
The Aces are locked in as the #5 seed as Evansville hold the tiebreaker with Indiana State
Indiana State (#6 or #7 seed)
#6 seed with two wins over Bradley
#7 seed with one win or less over Bradley & SIU sweeps Illinois State.
Southern Illinois (#6 or #7 seed)
#6 seed with sweep of Illinois State & and two Indiana State losses to Bradley
#7 seed with any combination of two Indiana State wins or losses to Illinois State.
Bradley (#8 seed)
The Braves are the eight-seed. Bradley's lone MVC win came over Evansville.
Walk This Way
Creighton's 11 drawn walks against Nebraska on May 14 was the second time in 2013 that the Bluejays drew more 10 walks in a game. The Jays earned 12 walks in their 3-2 (11) win over Rutgers on April 27. Before this season, the last time the Jays reached double figures in walks was against Nebraska on April 5, 2011.
Powering Up
Junior Federico Castagnini blasted his first home run as a Bluejay in Creighton's 12-9 loss to Nebraska on May 14. Castagnini's blast was just the Jays third in 41 games in TDAPO over the past two season, Creighton other two long balls were courtesy of
senior Alex Staehely on March 31, 2012 & April 19, 2013.
Power Surge in Perspective
Castagnini's bomb gave the Jays a total nine home runs on the season. 54 players in the NCAA have 10 or more long balls this season. Missouri State has 13 home runs as a team. Consider that combined the Jays and Bears have 22 jacks, while Kris Bryant of San Diego has 28 himself to lead the NCAA.
Strunc Marking His Territory
Freshman Tommy Strunc has made himself at home at TDAPO. In five starts, Strunc has allowed just 13 hits in 31.1 innings. His opposing BA is a
paltry .129 (13-of-101) and his ERA is 2.30.

text: For her radical redesign of a Park Avenue apartment, Jennifer Post carved six distinct areas out of the 900-square-foot space. The home office occupies an entire bedroom wall. Its decor is in line with the rest of the place, which has a minimalist feel with a strictly white palette and strategically placed accents of color throughout. "Color is used to increase the length of the apartment. You have to go look for it," she says. (February 2005)Photo: Michael MoranPinterestFacebook
