Sustainable gardening
May 18, 2011
Have you noticed the adjective 'sustainable' being used to describe agriculture, development, and communities? Basically, something is sustainable it uses methods that do not completely use up or destroy natural resources and it is able to last or continue for a long time.
So what does this mean to home gardeners? I think we should strive to grow a variety of plants that are tolerant of existing soil and site conditions using organic soil, water, and nutrient management.
There really isn't anything new here. If your gardening knowledge was passed down from your grandparents and parents, who grew up on a family farm, then these gardening methods are common practice. Those of us a generation or two removed from the 'family farm' can easily apply these practices to our piece of land.
Your soil should be your first priority. Healthy soil means healthy plants. A great way to add nutrients to your soil and improve soil structure is to regularly incorporate organic matter, such as compost and/or well-aged manure. Soil with lots of organic matter holds moisture and nutrients; attracts earthworms and other soil organisms that are responsible for decomposition and soil formation; and promotes healthy root development.
Chemical fertilizers, on the other hand, make a garden look good faster. However, the nutrients from chemical fertilizers are released so quickly that plants create a lot of top growth before their roots can support the nutrient and structural needs of the plant, leading to weaker plants. Chemical fertilizers do not improve the structure of the soil and can damage the health of the soil since synthetic fertilizers contain high concentrations of mineral salts that can kill off many of the organisms necessary for healthy, productive soil.
Right now, lack of water is not an issue. But come July, the lack of rainfall may be an issue. Here are some ways to conserve water:
Place a rain barrel under your gutter to capture rainwater for later use.
Incorporate native plants in your perennial borders. Native plants have learned how to thrive in our environment so you will have healthy plants in your garden all season long.
Add mulch to your flower beds in the spring, once the ground has thawed, to conserve water and reduce the need for weeding.
Plant wind breaks to help reduce soil erosion. The next time you drive by a farmer's field, notice the row of trees planted on the edges of the fields.
In your vegetable garden, use square foot gardening methods and succession planting to help reduce water loss.
So adding compost and manure to your gardens, avoiding chemical fertilizers, conserving water, and using native plants will enable you to create a sustainable a garden for your enjoyment now and in the years to come. I think your grandparents would be proud.

Your phrase "…if the account doesn't too closely rub up against actual events" seals the deal for me. Bring a real character, or better yet, a real event into the protagonist's view and let it form images and emotions in him. Makes it more real for me. "Forrest Gump" seems a good example of that but maybe goes over the top.
On another note, you mentioned the son of the guy who beaned Joe was the narrator. Maybe I need to read that to learn how an involved but remote narrator supplies all the details of scenes in which he was never there, or maybe in this case not yet born. How does he know? I want to use that technique but it always seems unrealistic to me to accept that a person involved in the story can know everything that's said and happens when he's not there. Of course he can always say "dad told me what happened that day," but how can he legitimately supply all the detail, color, sounds and movements that you need to do the scene? Myriad articles have probably been written on this.May 07, 2012
Hope this isn't too much of a spoiler, but the narrator witnessed the beaning in person. One difference between Forrest Gump and Calico Joe is that much of Forrest's interaction with prominent folks is intentionally comical, which my mind finds a bit easier to accept.May 07, 2012
Have you read Stephen King's book titled 11/22/63? It has a really interesting spin on the "assassination" of JFK. Definitely a really interesting read.
John Grisham is my all-time favorite author and I read anything and everything he writes. I'm not big into baseball but I found the book pleasant enough. I much prefer his legal thrillers! My first thought is that I would be okay with the mixing of fact and fiction because it makes it seem as though this would be a new angle to an old story or a "what if" story, which I find intriguing. But, if I were a huge fan of the history being changed, maybe I'd have a different point of view. Either way, I enjoyed the bookMay 10, 2012
I've skimmed King's 11/22/63, which was given to me as a Christmas present. My cursory perusal left me thinking that it's an interesting spin on the JFK murder, but, as in Calico Joe, I fear that some of the real history might startle me from my mental escape to fiction land. A mere skimming doesn't yield a fair assessment, however, so one of these days I'll have to take time to actually read it.
Thanks much for the comment! Do you have a favorite sport? If so, let me know and I'll try to post something relevant.May 10, 2012

Just got "Calico Joe" today and look forward to reading it tonite. I read Patrick Robinson's book "Slider" last year and very much enjoyed it. Don't know if that kind of League actually exists, but it made for great story.June 21, 2012
Hope you like Calico Joe. I've seen Slider on Amazon; will have to give it a look. The next baseball novel on my agenda is Philip Roth's The Great American Novel. Thanks for commenting.June 22, 2012
Being a baseball fan and former player, but not knowing a thing about the 1973 season, It was very easy to "fall" into the story. There are just enough real-life names that I struggled with wanting to believe it could have actually happened. The book reads very well and I could not put it down.July 19, 2012
Thanks for the comment. I doubt most readers will have any trouble; folks like me who lived through the '73 season are no doubt in the minority. Two main things I remember about that year: It was Willie Mays' last season, and my team of those days, the Royals, started to win more than they lost.July 20, 2012

October 4, 2015
A Nebraska woman has died in a collision during a brief snow shower that fell in central Nebraska area ahead of a massive winter storm moving through the Midwest.
The Nebraska State Patrol says the crash happened just before 4:30 p.m. Wednesday on Interstate 80 near Giltner, killing 19-year-old Kristina Leigh Anne Allen, of Callaway.
Investigators say an eastbound sport utility vehicle went out of control, crossed the median and hit the westbound car driven by Allen. The 28-year-old driver of the SUV was not injured.
Investigating troopers say blowing snow and icy conditions were factors in the crash.
The patrol is urging motorists to use extreme caution as a large winter storm expected to bring more than a foot of snow to some areas descends on the state Thursday.

Bones: The Verdict in the Story - VIDEO
(S03E13)"Friends don't let friends' fathers go to the electric chair." -- Angela, on why she wouldn't testify against Bones' dad
Doubt. A word that many of us use in some context at least once a day. We don't doubt it, we doubt it happened or, used in a positive manner, we prove that there isn't any doubt about it. In the legal world the word has a much more powerful connotation. Should a shred of doubt exist during a criminal trial, there is always that slim chance that the judge or jury will see past the crime of the defendant and rule in the opposite manner.
Sometimes, the physical evidence that the prosecution provides is the reason for doubt. Other times, it is the testimony of the witnesses that causes the judge or jury to think. Then, there are those times where doubt is seeded by the team of lawyers who are trying to get their client off.
Finally, there are those very rare occasions where the doubt is provided by the client's daughter. Guess which type of doubt was used in this week's episode of Bones?
Bones: Soccer Mom in the Mini-Van
(S03E02) I've noticed something new about the opening sequences to Bones this season. Rather than starting the scene with Booth and Bones walking into the middle of the investigation we actually see how it all happens. This week we got to see the soccer mom's mini-van blow up. And, what an explosion it was! Did anyone catch the leg that came flying out of of the smoke and flame? How about the fact that her hands were melted onto the steering wheel while the rest of her body went in various directions?
The charred body itself didn't make me queasy. I've watched enough episodes of the series that one charred body is like another charred body. However, when Bones (or was it Cam? I can't remember) pulled out the piece of the victim's tongue as well as a bit of brain matter for additional evidence I got a bit ooged out. All of the insects eating the charred flesh off of the victim's bones to clean them off didn't make me feel too hot either.
This, of course, means that Bones was in fine form this week.
Bones: The Priest in the Churchyard
(S02E17) It was forced. The tension that Booth and Bones exhibited during the episode didn't seem natural at all. Yes, it was explained that their differences had increased since Sully hopped a yacht down to the warm oceans of the Caribbean, but it just didn't seem convincing to me. Especially when Booth kept saying to Temperance that they should go talk to Seely's shrink about this all. It was like he was stirring the pot just to get Bones to come along with him.
With that being said, there were some real tension-filled moments. The one that stands out for me is during one of the interrogation scenes with Bones, Booth and Father William. Bones being Bones she mentioned something about not worshiping Loki anymore or something like that, and then chuckled. Not only did the Father glare at her, but Booth gave her one of the angriest looks I've seen him give her on this show.
Now, the scenes with our two detectives speaking with Gordon Wyatt made up for that real and imaginary tension. I particularly liked how he spoke to both of them away from their natural habitats -- Booth in the labs of the Jeffersonian Institution and Bones in the interrogation room at the FBI offices. Those scenes helped add a layer of depth onto Bones and Booth that we hadn't noticed before, or hadn't realized until Gordon mentioned it. I point out Temperance in this because Wyatt hit the nail on the head about Bones' frustration that she couldn't capture the essence of Booth's 'sixth sense'

U.S., Iran eye each other warily after striking nuke deal
WASHINGTON — The interim accord on Iran's nuclear program that was announced early Sunday in Geneva appears to be a remarkable breakthrough that meets the Obama administration's goal of extending the time it would take Iran to build a nuclear weapon in exchange for financially insignificant relief from sanctions.
The deal also is a step toward a peaceful resolution of what had been a looming confrontation that some estimated could claim tens of thousands of lives if it were to be resolved militarily.
But the political elite in both the United States and Iran gave the agreement a muted welcome at best, reflecting the lack of trust between Iran and the outside world dating to the 1979 Iranian revolution. Fueling that distrust is Iran's history of episodic cooperation with the United Nations' International Atomic Energy Agency, and genuine fears by each side that the other will not honor its commitments.
The question on the morning after the accord is whether the Obama administration and five other world powers can agree on a comprehensive agreement with Iran, or if detractors in and out of government in the United States and abroad will find a way to derail the process.
In Congress, leading figures in both parties Sunday voiced deep skepticism that Iran would follow through on its pledges to severely curb its nuclear enrichment program.
While President Barack Obama has called for a halt to further sanctions, leading Senate Democrats pledged to approve new sanctions to target Iran's oil exports, but to hold back on imposing them to see if a comprehensive accord can be negotiated in the next six months.
An equally telling response came from Tehran, where news media and politicians gave a tepid welcome to the agreement, which holds a long-term promise for genuine relief from economic sanctions as part of a "comprehensive solution" to the crisis, but only in exchange for giving up any nuclear program that is not closely monitored by the outside world.
Popular support for a resolution to Iran's standoff with the international community regarding the program was shown in the enormous victory by reformist cleric Hassan Rouhani in presidential elections last June, but Iranian officials say he has at best a matter of months before hard-liners organize to block implementation of an agreement.
In a public letter to Rouhani, Ayatollah Khameini, the supreme leader of Iran's theocratic regime, said only that it was "befitting" to offer "appreciation and thanks" for "what you have gained" in the Geneva talks, which he said was the "basis for the next wise steps" in the negotiating process.
The immediate reaction to the accord suggest that political leaders in the United States and Iran thus will be walking on eggshells for the next six months as the two countries sit down with Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China to negotiate a comprehensive agreement.
The question on both sides is whether each can avoid provoking the other into actions that would break down the talks.
The result of Sunday's agreement "is not particularly satisfying for Iranians," said Trita Parsi, an expert on the Iran nuclear negotiations and president of the National Iranian-American Council.
"Iran has made a calculation that it will pay a relatively higher price in the first round in order to proceed with talks leading to an end state," he said. That, Iranian officials hope, would be an end to questions before the U.N. Security Council about whether Iran complies with the 1968 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty; international recognition that Iran has a right under the treaty to enrich uranium, though with tight safeguards; and a lifting of the economic sanctions.
Now all eyes are on the negotiations to follow. "The next phase will be even more difficult. ... But it will be even more consequential," Secretary of State John Kerry said after the accord was announced.
David Albright, a nuclear proliferation expert and president of the Institute for Science and International Security, said the accord, by forcing Iran to give up the 440 pounds of uranium that it had enriched to 20 percent purity, sets back Iran's ability to build an atomic weapon quickly. But he said the deal still leaves until the comprehensive accord the final dimensions of that country's nuclear program, in particular how many centrifuges it can operate to enrich nuclear fuel.
"In a way it pushes some of the hardest work into the future, and we don't know how it will end up," he said.
Emily Landau, a senior research associate at Israel's Institute of National Security Studies, said the accord reached Sunday was not "cause for celebration" nor was it "a disaster."
"It's a deal that can be lived with," she said.
She predicted that Iran would press for more sanctions relief, and try to circumvent the terms of Sunday's accord while offering minimal concessions.

Moorpark College, Oxnard College and Ventura College are on the verge of losing their accreditation. If that occurs, it will be a disaster.
The colleges need to remain accredited for their students to receive federal financial aid and transfer their credits to four-year institutions. Loss of accreditation, in effect, would put the colleges out of business, doing serious harm to local students and their families.
Who's at fault for the three colleges being placed on probation? At least some of the blame must be pinned on failures at the highest level, the publicly elected board of trustees of the Ventura County Community College District.
The storm clouds have been gathering for a long time. In 2010, the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges warned the district that it needed to do more to measure up in key areas.
The commission called for changes at the district level, including clearly defined channels of responsibility and better communication. It said district governance was another area where improvements were needed.
The commission cautioned the college district's five elected trustees — who are a policy-setting board, not CEOs or hands-on managers — that they must not micromanage.
The commission also stressed that each of the five trustees, who are elected in five districts spread across the county, must represent the whole county — not just the district that elected them, and not just one college, community or special interest.
However, it's anyone's guess whether Trustee Art Hernandez of Oxnard buys into those principles. It is clear that the commission felt Mr. Hernandez threw a monkey wrench into the orderly conduct of board meetings and district business by his misplaced, single-minded emphasis on Oxnard.
And it also is clear that Mr. Hernandez fouled up VCCCD's attempts to meet the accreditation requirements when he skipped an important training conference in San Jose. All five trustees were expected to attend that event to learn how to do a better job and to show they were serious about fulfilling the accreditation requirements.
Instead, the absent Mr. Hernandez was back home, attending a forum at Oxnard College concerning proposed budget cuts there. While it's important for elected officials to listen to the voices of their constituents, Mr. Hernandez failed them in this instance, by choosing their meeting over the mandated conference. He certainly could have made it clear to them the importance of his attendance in San Jose.
Voters and the public at large have every right to ask Mr. Hernandez to explain whether he understands what is required of a trustee or still intends to go his own way. He and the other trustees have a mid-March deadline to explain their intentions to the commission.
If the unthinkable happens and the colleges lose their accreditation, a heavy portion of the blame will be forever linked to Mr. Hernandez. Sadly, the other trustees also will receive a share of blame for their inability or unwillingness to take whatever steps necessary to force their colleague, Mr. Hernandez, to do the right thing.
It's time to get with the program. The clock is ticking. If accreditation is lost, everyone will suffer.

What are the pros? flower color, taste
What are the cons? some had parchment
in my experience the peas seem to like hot weather(a few of them had some sort of non fatal rot on the buds early in the year when it was cold and wet)and they did not seem to mind drought although you should be sure to provide Adequate support because they get big and heavy(in my garden the vines got about 7 feet and the pods 5 inches)also some plants were giving pea pods with parchment in them but overall a good variety that had a sweet taste and good crunchy texture

What are the pros? Flavor, size, flower
What are the cons? A bit slower to set
This pea was a little slow to flower and set, but once it went into production it was produced abundantly. Some pods almost immediately produced seeds, and others remained like a snow pea pod without any swelling of seeds, until the pod reached a very large size. Quite a beautiful and flavorful pea. I am growing it again this year.
What are the pros? large
What are the cons? failed in hot wet spring
amazingly pretty snow pea with pink cerise and purple all appearing on the blooms. worth growing just for that!

What are the pros? Delicious, Sweet, Crispy
What are the cons? None!
I live in Zone 7a, and I've never tried growing peas or beans before. Out of all the beans and peas I grew this past spring, these were by far the best and most prolific. I started these in late March/early April, and they kept right on producing through late June (through 90 degree humid Tennessee weather). The pods stayed very crisp and sweet, and the flavor was delicious. I can't wait to plant these in the fall!!!

What are the pros?
What are the cons?
These peas are great when they are good but when they are bad they are bad; sounds weird but they were just not consistent in flavor from plant to plant. However, with Boston's weird weather they grew better than most peas we have ever planted and will probably plant them again next year. Tasty slivered and sauteed in pasta w/ lemon.

Saturn and moon to rule the sky tonight
Just one night before the moon is in its full phase, Saturn will sneak directly below it, shining bright yellowish-white. It will illuminate just like a star, except shining much brighter.
Saturn is currently shining bright in the night sky, just a few days after reaching opposition - its best display for stargazers - on Saturday. The planet shines at brilliant magnitude of zero on the brightness scale, making it virtually equal to the bright star Arcturus visible high above Saturn.
So despite its relative close proximity to the moon, Saturn will still manage to stand-out quite well. And what will be especially interesting will be to watch how the moon seems to approach Saturn during the course of the overnight hours, Discovery News reported.
At dusk on Tuesday, Saturn will appear about 5.5 degrees to the lower left of the moon. The moon will move toward Saturn at its own apparent width (one-half degree) per hour during the night.
So by dawn on Wednesday (May 14), the Saturn and the moon will be low in the west-southwest, the moon having moved to within 2.5 degrees to the lower right of the ringed planet.
More interestingly, from the southern half of Australia, New Zealand and Victoria Land (Antarctica), the moon will occult (hide) Saturn on Wednesday evening.

There's a famous story blues rock legend Stevie Ray Vaughan used to tell during live shows about the moment he knew he would become a musician. Once, after a difficult boss gave him another job he didn't want to do, he fell into a vat of grease, and he quit on the spot, dedicating the remainder of his life to the art and science of crafting sweet blues licks - luckily for the rest of us.
Employees at your company may not have vats of grease to fall into, but it's essential that there is good communication and employee engagement so that they operate at full productivity. Tools such as video collaboration software can make this easier.
Engagement needs to increase
A recent Gallup poll showed that only 30 percent of American employees feel fully engaged and working as hard as they can, and it is of the essence to the American economy that these men and women feel more engaged. The company found that the way in which workers interact with others around the office has a large effect on the feelings that result. "Workplace friends," for instance, make employees feel more positively about a job, by having a person nearby to help guide them and discuss problems.
Managers, too, need to do their best to meet as often as possible with workers, according to Gallup. Video conferencing software is a great way to achieve this. A text-based communication, or even only by phone, will not a readily stimulate workers and can lead to feelings of alienation and disengagement. If an in-person chat is logistically difficult, remote meeting software is the best substitute.
Top tips offer unique insight
A number of famous sources have offered similar insights into the process, according to Biz Journal. Paul Brusatori of Intermark Group, for instance, said that non-text based communication often engages people in a more positive manner.
"My best advice for improving communication would be to restore and reinforce direct conversation in the office," Brusatori said. "Nothing can replace the value of facial expressions, body language and tone when delivering and receiving information. Hopefully this limits inaccurate perceptions, wrong conclusions and endless email and texting ping pong."
Tools can change the environment
In-person meetings may not always be feasible, either economically or geographically. Robin Hunt of ThinkData, though, said that it's still possible to do so with the right tools, such as online video software. Email and instant messaging are very necessary, she said, but they should be supplemented with other options.
"On a tech level implement the right form of communication tools and educate them on the hows and why," she said.
As Gallup made clear, there is a great deal for companies to gain in encouraging productivity with better communications and stronger management. Almost a quarter of employees are actively disengaged, according to the poll - it's important that companies be sure they are working hard to keep workers feeling a happy, and a part of something bigger.
