British Flag Top
Purchased this for our daughter to train in for swimming. Love that it is reversible & fits well. Sad they didn't have the bottoms that match in stock :(
Winters, CA
Fit: Feels true to size

quality was fine but size is too small
My bra band size was 32 and I read product review stating that the size was too small. I decided to buy the medium one. Even the medium one feel very tight for me. I am too lazy to exchange since I ripped the label off already. Other than the sizing, the quality of the material seems fine.
Fit: Feels too small
Too small
Had to return - just way too small... bought according to size chart. Order a size larger to be safe. Unfortunately they were out of the size I needed.
Colorado Springs, CO
Super Small top!
Well constructed, good material and fun pattern BUT it runs small!

Cute top - way small
Unfortunately this top is WAY small. Too bad because it is so cute
Redding, CA
good product!
I ordered this in a medium, and wear a 32 in one pieces and am a 34/36 B cup and this top is great! I was worried it would end up being too big and would come off when I dive but luckily it stays on! Two pieces take some getting used to but this is definitely a good top to start with. I had also gotten a medium in the bottoms but they are definitely too big for practice, I could tell as soon as I did my first flip turn and pushed off the wall. I ended up wearing one of the guys' drag suits over it to make sure it wouldn't come off! I'll probably still wear it for like a beach day but definitely not for swim practice!
London Pride Bikini Top
I love London! This was the main reason I got this swimsuit. I followed the sizing on this. I ordered the top that appeared to be correct for me. I am okay with it,but if you have a larger top, the print is harder to get used to. I like the style for swimming, but I just need to get use to it being slightly a different cut on me with a larger frame than the model.
Overland Park, KS
Looks & feels great!
I think this product is true to size, but I returned it because I'm in between two sizes, so it wasn't right for me. It's cute though, and I might re-order it if my body decides which size it is!
Tracy K.
Nice looking top but
Fits Ok but fabric is somewhat non giving and thus top can come off while swimming if not extremely tightly fitted. Manufaccturer needs to incorporate a string for adjustment at bottom of suits.
Love the colours!
I bought this suit to wear for my girls gym class on our swimming days and i was not dissapointed. i am a 32-34 C and i ordered a medium. The strap around the chest fits very snugly which is perfect for me but anyone with over a 34 may want to order a size up. it also dips low in the front so its not the best suit for lap swimming. i am a competitve swimmer so i usually end up feeling uncomrfotable in a bikini, this was a perfect solution to that problem. i would definitly order this suit again, however i would consider buying a large next time in hope that it might have more coverage in the front.
Love it!!!
I bought this sporty suit to use while I teach water aerobics and it is perfect for that kind of activity!!!! It stays snug on your body and the straps do not fall down like some suits. I also have swam some laps in it, including flip turns and it's just fine, no worries about the bottoms falling off when you push off the wall.(and it's pretty cute) (:
Winona, MN
Great top!
Great design, Great support.Runs smaller to real world sizes, but seems true to size chart.Does show more cleavage than photo indicates, but provides support and overall looks very nice.It's reversible, so you kinda get two tops in one!
Nice top
It fit like expected. I liked the colors.
It's cute, but a demi-suit. Doesn't have great coverage and completely smashes everything. Too small. Order the next size up to ensure you can breathe.
Holds tight, great for activity
Rebecca H.
East Hartford, CT
A little skimpy
Nice material and nicely constructed but this runs about a size small and doesn't provide as much coverage as I hoped. In the picture it looks like it provides pretty good coverage in terms of the amount of material/height of the top but when I tried it on it was much skimpier than depicted, I am only a B/C cup and I felt like I was falling out of it. I can't imagine a larger busted woman wearing this comfortably.
Hope M.
Colorado Springs, CO
Simple top
Great, simple top. It covers more than a lot of other two-piece fitness styles out there, but I gave it four stars because I wish it had just a little bit more coverage. I ordered a Medium based on the sizing chart and it seems to be a true-to-size fit.
Los Angeles, CA
Excellent Quality
The large feels a little snug on a D cup, but it's a great suit. Very well made. Excited to keep using it!
Santa Barbara
Love it!!
Daugther loved it...will use it in North Shore Ocean swim!
Swim mom
Secure in this style top
Got this in a small for my camp bound daughter who is tall and slim. She LOVED this top for the secure style and we got the bottom as well. She'll be swimming in a mountain river; so we needed a style that stayed put. It fit her perfectly and she loved it (I loved the style and colors). I don't know what it will look like after three weeks but it won't matter since the price was right!

Complex Adaptive Systems (cas) are a special classification of complex systems with a large number of simple components interacting in a nonlinear fashion resulting in specialized adaptive behavior. Due to recent rapid advancements in Communication technology, today's Communication networks such as those formed by wireless sensor, ad-hoc, Peer-Peer (P2P), multiagent, nano-Communication and mobile robot communication networks, are all expected to grow larger and more complex than ever previously anticipated. Thus, these networks, at times, can possibly give rise to complex global behaviors similar to cas encountered in the life sciences. Thus, network designers can, at times, expect to observe unprecedented global patterns termed as emergence, a term eliciting the fact that the effects of these phenomena cannot be easily traced back to the individual components. Such patterns can be important to understand since, at times, they can have considerable effect on various aspects in a communication network such as unanticipated traffic congestion, unprecedented increase in communication cost or perhaps a complete network/grid shutdown as a result of emergent behavior. Some well-known examples include the emergence of cascading faults in Message Queue-based Financial transactions after New Year holidays, recent cascading failures reported in the Amazon.com cloud, effects of viral and worm infections in large networks, effects of torrent and other complex traffic in ISP and corporate networks, multi-player gaming and other similar P2P traffic in company intranets, self-organization and self-assembly related effects in sensor and robotic networks.
Because of the ease and flexibility associated with agent-based modeling and simulation in assisting the conceptualizing of complex phenomena, agent-based modeling paradigm can prove to be an effective tool for exploring application case studies, testing of new communication protocols, exploring large-scale networks for possible problems before deployment or improvement of existing algorithms and hardware.
In the past, the prevalence of a wide variety of network simulation tools such as NS2, NS3, OPNET, OMNET++ etc. demonstrates the vibrant simulation culture prevalent in communication networks. Although Agent-based modeling and simulation has been used extensively in social, biological, ecological and other domains, recently it has been demonstrated to offer a much shorter learning curve (ranging from a few hours to a few days) as well as having the capability of assisting Communication researchers, engineers and practitioners in developing effective models of various types of Complex Adaptive Communication networks such as those discussed above.
The goal of this special issue is to solicit state-of-the-art papers, not submitted elsewhere for review, focused on using agent-based modeling and simulation for theoretical frameworks, application case studies as well as novel communication models of CACOONS. Suggested topics include but are not limited to:
For manuscript formatting and other guidelines, please visit the Author Guidelines for SIMULATION.
All manuscripts must be submitted electronically through the paper submission system to the SIMULATION Manuscript Submission System. Please note in your online cover letter that your submission is for the special issue on "Agent-based Modeling and Simulation of Complex Adaptive Communication Networks and Environments (CACOONS)".
Note: Manuscripts must not have been previously published or be submitted for publication elsewhere. Each submitted manuscript must include title, names, authors' affiliations, postal and e-mail addresses, a single page description (refer to Author Guidelines for SIMULATION), and a list of keywords. For multiple author submission, please identify the corresponding author. The submitted manuscripts will first be reviewed by the guest editors to assess the suitability for inclusion in the special issue. Subsequent to this, the selected papers will be subjected to a double blind reviewing process comprising of a minimum of two reviews.
Each final submission must be prepared based on the Simulation journal requirements (see Author Guidelines for SIMULATION page).

Smooth as silk
Pros: Very smooth and accentuated lows , The most comfortable pair i have ever seen or used , decent sound stage , well defined mids , price ,Good Isolation
Cons: Bad treble when it goes over the top ,
When listening to music , i used to plug in my razer electra's , not that its gone in the dumpster but it did give a solid sound. Now when i started to use my UE6000 the sound felt so different that it took me to a new level of listening. Like i stated in the pro whatever genre of music plays the lows are very well defined that means the drums , keys and sounds that are normally drowned show up to an ever present smoothness. The mid's are a bit bait laid back but they contribute in making the sound refined and giving them this well textured layering that works well with everything over and below it. Now the lows and mid's are so separate yet chimed in that they sound beautiful when listening to music by bands like The Mars Volta , The Black keys , Staind etc. I know i shouldve mentioned the highs too before getting to the kinda music i listen to but here's the thing the highs are subservient to the mid's and lows , the don't go too loud but cautiously look over them to maintain the equilibrium.
The overall V signature gives it a nice effect. Now all this said i was talking about the passive mode and before i explain about about it i want to say that im a movie addict and did my headphone search also mostly based on weather it would give the juice to those three dimensional sfx we love to hear in theaters. When i turn the ANC on , man am i in my own haven cuz its flawlessly superb for enjoying movies , series whatever be the genre. you get so involved and shut out from the outside world that you want to disconnect from sometimes. The preciseness of the positioning is a noteworthy mention here and the thunderous yet tight rumbling when sfx crash in is another. So it goes to say that when listening to just music unless its rap or hip hop i don't really use this feature.
About the soundstage , its precise , accurate , yet not too wide like maybe higher priced models. It is what it is , around your ear staying loyal to its immediate vicinity.
Now the gripe about my new buy is just this , i cant get them to play heavy metal music. Music like "21 guns" by Green Day , sounds a bit drowned by the bass and confused when the heavy guitar chorus kicks in. Does anyone else have the similar issue ? because i would really like to know. However songs by Metallica sounded great , and when it comes to the newer era of metalaholic , it performs a tad bit too slow in the mids / highs that make the livewire guitars sound lazy and chaotic.
Finally the treble , overall i don't suppose that this is the best treble to have been experienced ,only because when it goes over a level there is a lac of it. This could also be the reason why metal music doesn't flow like high voltage electricity through these.
The bass - perfect to the core and the drums beat with such effect yet maintaining that delicately precise smoothness that audiophiles and not bass-heads would admire.
About the sound isolation i feel these are a perfect work since i feel lost in another dimension when these are around my head
The rest to say is the build quality which is quite evident in the picture , and when you get to actually hold one as it hangs sturdily from your hands you get to admire the beautiful modern simplistic design that has shaped these cans. There's leather at the top under , the band is made of a smooth rubberized finish and the frames are aluminium. The memory foam paddings are housed encircling the driver unit that covered by another layer of comfy blue foam cloth.
So that's all to say and i dived straight into the sound quality first and then into the other aspects after it , so hope my review helped you in your buying decision.

Green Bay Packers WB Aaron Rodgers was a guest on "NFL Total Access" and touched on what he thought about 49ers QB Alex Smith, who sits on the bench while QB Colin Kaepernick runs his team's offense.
Rodgers and Smith are linked from the 2005 NFL Draft, when Smith was the number one pick and Rodgers fell to 24. Aaron has used that slight as motivation throughout his career, and he feels Smith is getting a raw deal in San Francisco.
"Alex and I are buddies, we both got drafted in 2005 NFL Draft, and he's been through a lot," he said.
"I can't imagine to have to go through that many offensive coordinators and the turnover in coaches has been tough for him... He comes in, he's 70 percent completion, he's 100-plus quarterback rating last year, he's like barely over one percent interception percentage,"
"He's a great quarterback, he just needs to go somewhere he gets appreciated for the skills he has and hopefully he gets a chance next year."

Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...
Widespread Adoption of Biomarkers Has Been...
Three-Dimensional Cell Culture Has Two Dimensions,...
Scientific Misconduct Is Jeopardizing the Quality...
The FDA has joined the EPA, the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences National Toxicology Program (NTP), and the National Institute of Health Chemical Genomics Center (NCGC) in the Tox21 collaboration. The partnership, established in 2008, merges federal agency resources such as research, funding, and testing tools to develop methods to more effectively predict how chemicals will affect human health and the environment.
FDA will provide additional expertise and chemical safety information to improve current chemical testing methods. It will help prioritize chemicals that need more extensive toxicological evaluation and develop models that can better predict human response to chemicals.
"This partnership builds upon FDA's commitment to developing new methods to evaluate the toxicity of the substances we regulate," notes Janet Woodcock, M.D., director of FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research.
"This collaboration is revolutionizing the current approach to chemical risk assessment by sharing expertise, capabilities, and chemical information, which will lead to both a faster and deeper understanding of chemical hazards," according to Paul Anastas, Ph.D., assistant administrator for EPA's Office of Research and Development. "Through the Tox21 collaboration, 2,000 chemicals have already been screened against dozens of biological targets and we are working to increase the number of chemicals to 10,000 by the end of the year."
EPA contributes to Tox21 through the ToxCast program and by providing chemicals and additional fast, automated tests to NCGC. ToxCast currently includes 500 chemical screening tests that have assessed over 300 environmental chemicals.

I've been covering the "Rugby" line of Samsung phones since they were first used at a fishing tournament here in Georgia almost four years ago.
The Rugby phones were an integral part of the fishing competition and the spirit of the event. Real-time updates were relayed by text messages and these durable phones were one of the stars of the day, along with the anglers and AT&T.
Now AT&T is proud to announce they will the sole carrier of the fourth generation of the Rugby when it is released in the coming weeks. If this Rugby is as good as it's previous versions, it's going to be great.
"The Samsung Rugby 4 and AT&T's network are two best in-class tools enabling you to be connected in demanding environments," said Jeff Howard, vice president – Mobile Devices, AT&T. "The Samsung Rugby 4, coming exclusively to AT&T, will be the newest rugged push-to-talk device with all the great features you've come to expect from the Rugby series."
The Samsung Rugby 4 joins the AT&T Enhanced Push-To-Talk offerings which include more than 20 different devices.
Samsung has put this phone through a variety of tests to make sure it can withstand everything from temperature changes, dust, sand, shock/vibration, low pressure/high altitude and water.
Per Samsung, the Rugby 4 features include:
· A bigger speaker with louder volume
· Wi-Fi connectivity
· Turn-by-turn navigation2
· Military-grade protection3
You can get more information on the Samsung Rugby 4 at: www.att.com/samsungrugby4.

Nadia Sablin Wins CDS/Honickman First Book Prize in Photography
Nadia Sablin has won the 2014 CDS/Honickman First Book Prize in Photography for her series on her aunts who live in northwest Russia. The Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University, which administers the prize with The Honickman Foundation, announced the award today. Sablin's book will be published in November 2015 by CDS Books and Duke University Press.
The prize, which is awarded every two years, supports North American photographers who have never published a book-length work. Past winners have included Gerald H. Gaskin, Benjamin Lowy and Danny Wilcox Frazier.
Sablin, who is based in Brooklyn, New York, has been making color photographs documenting the lives of her aunts, Alevtina and Ludmila, for more than six years. Sablin says in her description of the project that the women, who are in their seventies, "carry on the traditional Russian way of life, chopping wood for heating the house, bringing water from the well, planting potatoes and making their own clothes."
Sandra S. Philips, curator of photography at the San Francisco Museum of Photography, was the judge for this year's prize. Joshua Chuang, chief curator of the Center for Creative Photography at the University of Arizona, chaired the selection committee that chose the finalists for the prize. The finalists are: Victor Blue, Scott Dalton, Cate Dingley, Hannah Kozak, Nate Larson and Marni Shindelman, Joseph Michael Lopez, Diana Markosian, Jeanine Michna-Bales, Chrystie Sherman, Jeffrey Stockbridge and Donna Wan. Their images will be featured on the first Book Prize blog this year.

NEW YORK - Martha Stewart will do her time farther from home than she had hoped, at a remote West Virginia prison where inmates sleep in bunk beds and rise at 6 a.m. to do menial labor for pennies an hour.
The millionaire celebrity homemaker said Wednesday that she has been assigned to the minimum-security women's prison at Alderson.
Stewart, convicted in March of lying about a stock sale, had asked to serve her five-month prison term in Danbury, Conn., close to her 90-year-old mother and her own home in nearby Westport.
But a source familiar with the government's decision, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The Associated Press that Alderson was selected because it was more remote and less accessible to the media than Danbury or Stewart's second choice of Coleman, Fla.
Those prisons are also more overcrowded, the source said. The Coleman prison, for example, is crowded with inmates moved from other Florida prisons because of the recent hurricanes.
Stewart, 63, must report to Alderson by Oct. 8. She was allowed to remain free while she appealed her conviction, but decided earlier this month to serve her time right away, without waiting for her appeals to run their course, in order to put the "nightmare" behind her.
In a statement, Stewart said that she had hoped to be imprisoned closer to her family but was pleased that the government had assigned her "so quickly" to "the first federal prison camp for women in the United States."
"I look forward to getting this behind me and to vigorously pursuing my appeal," she said.
After her release in early March, she must serve five months under house arrest.

Building officials should be
reminding certified staff members to take
the 2011 BCD Law Change course. This course
no longer only applies to building officials;
it now includes inspectors and plans examiners
- essentially anyone who has an Oregon Inspector
Certification (OIC). So far, a limited number
of those required to take this course have
done so.
The 2011 BCD Law Change course is designed to summarize law changes
passed during the most recent legislative session. Inspectors,
plans examiners, and building officials are required to take this
legislative training (law change) course as part of their continuing
education requirements as specified in OAR 918-098-1450. The free,
online class will be accessible from BCD's website for at least
a year. Two continuing education credits will be issued for completing
this course.
Certified individuals who attended the Oregon Building Officials
Association class at its annual meeting in Bend from July 20-22
will be given credit and do not have to take this course.
Link to 2011 BCD Law Change course:
or access the course through BCD's homepage.
If you have any questions about this course, contact Tiffani
Alexander at firstname.lastname@example.com
or 503-373-1248.
BCD is providing an online course on the 2010 Oregon Structural
Specialty Code, Revised Accessibility Provisions (ADA/Chapter
11). This class will provide working knowledge of the accessibility
revisions in the 2010 Oregon Structural Specialty Code based on
the 2009 International Building Code and the 2010 ADA Standards.
Participants will gain information in the course that will help
them design, review, inspect, and construct affected buildings
as they relate to the revised accessibility standards.
The ADA/Chapter 11 online course will be available on Jan. 9
through Chemeketa Online. There will be a link to the class from
the BCD website. The course will be the equivalent of four hours
of classroom training. There will be four lessons that will each
consist of several presentations, an assignment, and a quiz. Registration
for the course will take place directly through Chemeketa and
will cost $35. Once registered for the course, students will have
access 24/7 and can go at their own pace.
Once the class is up and running on the Chemeketa website, it
will be available during each of their quarters. Students must
finish the course in the same quarter that they registered in,
and BCD will have the information posted on our website to keep
students aware of the beginning and ending dates of each quarter.
For more information on this ADA/Chapter 11 online course, contact
Sherri West, training coordinator, at 503-373-7509 or email@example.com.

With the various reports of stage failures in recent years, there
is reason to pause and revisit the regulatory framework in Oregon
for similar structures.
With the exception of temporary membrane structures, the 2010
Oregon Structural Specialty Code (OSSC) is the adopted standard
in this regard. Such temporary uses are subject to the permit
and inspection requirements of the OSSC with the permit duration
for such structures limited to 180 days. Conversely, membrane
structures erected for a period of less than 180 days are regulated
under the Oregon Fire Code.
The permit and inspection process occurs at the local level under
the authority of the respective building official or fire official.
The performance expectation of the OSSC is that temporary structures
demonstrate full compliance with the code "to ensure public
health, safety, and general welfare."
Given the transitory nature of many temporary stages and membrane
structures, it may be difficult for their designs to conform with
the established design loads as adopted for permanent structures.
In such cases, the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) should
verify the "engineered design" of the proposed structure
and establish "atmospheric" thresholds (maximum allowed
wind, snow, etc.) for determining safe occupancy. This also affords
the AHJ the opportunity to monitor local weather alerts and forecasts
coinciding with the planned event and serve as the final authority
in determining if the activity must be canceled. Where atmospheric
limitations are placed on the use of structures, it is highly
recommended that written, event-specific evacuation plans for
safe dispersion be required as part of the approval process.
While membrane structures are regulated through the Oregon Fire
Code, their size and designs are becoming increasingly large and
complex. In such cases, some jurisdictions have had success when
the fire service partners with their respective building departments
in the review of complex engineered systems.
The following excerpts from the OSSC provide a brief overview
of specific requirements for temporary structures and uses:
108.1 General. The building official is authorized to issue
a permit for temporary structures and temporary uses. Such permits
shall be limited as to time of service, but shall not be permitted
for more than 180 days. The building official is authorized to
grant extensions for demonstrated cause. See Chapter 31 for further
Note: Membrane structures erected for a period of less than
180 days are regulated under the Fire Code.
108.2 Conformance. Temporary structures and uses shall
conform to the structural strength, fire safety, means of egress,
accessibility, light, ventilation, and sanitary requirements of
this code as necessary to ensure public health, safety, and general
108.3 Termination of approval. The building official is
authorized to terminate such permit for a temporary structure
or use and to order the temporary structure or use to be discontinued.
410.4.1 Temporary platforms. Platforms installed for a
period of not more than 30 days are permitted to be constructed
of any materials permitted by the code. The space
between the floor and the platform above shall only be used for
plumbing and electrical wiring to platform equipment.
3103.1 General. The provisions of this section shall apply
to structures erected for a period of less than 180 days.
3103.1.1 Permit required. Temporary structures that cover
an area in excess of 120 square feet (11.16 m2), including connecting
areas or spaces with a common means of egress or entrance
which are used or intended to be used for the gathering together
of 10 or more persons, shall not be erected, operated, or maintained
for any purpose without obtaining a permit from the building
3103.2 Construction documents. A permit application
and construction documents shall be submitted for each
installation of a temporary structure. The construction documents
shall include a site plan indicating the location of the temporary
structure and information delineating the means of egress
and the occupant load.
3103.3 Location. Temporary structures shall be located
in accordance with the requirements of Table 602 based on the
fire-resistance rating of the exterior walls for
the proposed type of construction.
3103.4 Means of egress. Temporary structures shall conform
to the means of egress requirements of Chapter 10 and shall
have a maximum exit access travel distance of 100 feet
(30,480 mm).
The second academic quarter of Specialized Inspector trainings
wraps up this week with the two-day, live courses for the Specialized
Electrical and Plumbing trainings. Now that the division has a
few classes under its belt, we are looking for feedback from the
jurisdictions. Whether or not your jurisdiction has participated
in the Specialized Inspector pilot, please take a few moments
to answer this survey.
It should only take about five minutes and the information is
invaluable to us. The division relies upon your feedback on why
you participated, or why you didn't, to make the pilot program
a success. The division will reconvene the House Bill 3462 scoping
committee early next year to evaluate the program and chart future
certification courses.
Jurisdictions in Program Administration Group Three should have
received notices to send in their program renewal form. ORS 455.148
and 455.150 require jurisdictions to renew their programs every
four years. Renewal forms, along
with an updated operating plan, and a copy of any Intergovernmental
Agreement for building inspections services, are due in to the
division by Jan. 1, 2012. If you have questions about your program
administration group, they can be found on the Jurisdictions
page. If you have questions about the renewal process, or
if you will be unable to meet the Jan. 1 deadline, contact Aeron
Teverbaugh before Dec. 23 at email@example.com
or 503-373-1354.
Start off the new year with the latest session in the Brown Bag
Lunch series on ecoroofs. The session will be from noon to 1 p.m.
on Thursday, Jan. 12. In this session, the City of Portland Bureau
of Environmental Services Ecoroof Program will talk about how
vegetative roofs are part of a growing national effort to promote
sustainable development and improve watershed health. The course
will also cover structural load requirements, what to look for
in plan review, and lessons learned. Ecoroofs are a project elective
in the Oregon Reach Code.
There is also a Brown Bag Lunch session planned for February
on the residential provisions of the Reach Code. Look for more
information on this session in our January newsletter.
Be sure to register soon for the Ecoroof
Brown Bag Lunch on BCD's website. If you have any questions
about the program, contact Sherri West at 503-373-7509 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

"The Joker", by Daniel Wallace, throws the spotlight onto Batman's archnemesis, and one of the most notorious comic book villains.
Since his first appearance in 1940's Batman #1, the Joker stands alone as the most hated, feared, and loved villain in the DC Universe. Though his true origins may be unknown, the Clown Prince of Crime's psychotic appearances in hundreds of comic books has shaped the way we look at Batman, comic books, and ourselves. Indeed, a hero is only as good as his nemesis, so the Joker's heinous crimes, including murdering the second Robin and paralyzing Batgirl, have elevated Batman to the highest levels of crime-fighting, and we, the readers, to the finest levels of quality pop-culture entertainment.

A woman from Pleasant Grove, Utah, was arrested and charged with six counts of murder on April 13 after her estranged husband was cleaning out her garage on Saturday, and discovered the remains of one newborn baby. After police arrived on the scene, the remains of six additional newborns were found wrapped up in towels or shirts, placed in plastic bags, and finally, packed inside boxes. The mother, Megan Huntsman, 39, confessed to police that she either suffocated or strangled six of the babies immediately after they were born. Authorities say that the remains of a seventh baby appear to have been born stillborn.
According to The Huffington Post, the father who made the initial grisly discovery, Darren West, can't figure out how his ex-wife managed to conceal seven pregnancies which spanned 10 years. After finding the first tiny body, West called Huntsman who admitted that the baby was hers. West then contacted the police.
Court documents state that Huntsman admitted to giving birth "to at least seven babies between 1996 and 2006." Those births took place at a former residence located in Pleasant Grove, Utah, about 35 miles outside of Salt Lake City. Huntsman went on to state that six of the seven babies were born alive.
Huntsman's three living children, all daughters, were living with their mom in that house in Pleasant Grove. Two of the daughters are young adults, while one is a teenager. The Daily News reported that the daughters range in age from 13 to 20.
West isn't a stranger to the legal system, and spent some time in prison after pleading guilty in 2005 to "two counts of possessing chemicals intended to be used in manufacturing methamphetamine." While West was being tried in federal court, Huntsman wrote to the judge overseeing West's case and begged for leniency, saying that West was a great dad to his three daughters and that he was needed to help keep the family together.
Utah County Attorney Jeff Buhman said that he believes West was not aware of, or party to the killings of the babies, and went on to say that as the investigation continues – there could be more arrests if warranted. For now, Buhman considers Huntsman to be the primary suspect in the babies' deaths. Authorities are running DNA tests between Huntsman, West, and the remains of the seven newborns to confirm paternity.
After her arrest and booking at Utah County Jail on Sunday, Huntsman was ordered to be held on $6 million bail, "$1 million for each baby." For more on the discovery of the seven newborn bodies found in Megan Huntsman's garage, see the video accompanying this article.

Want to look more elegant? If you do, try to wear the attire made of hibiscus woven fabric posing a typicality of Gianyar. This type of fabric features floral motif (hibiscus) specially designed by the government in collaboration with the Gianyar Handicraft Council (Dekranasda). The hibiscus weaving fabric will be launched to coincide with the anniversary of Gianyar Town on April 19, 2014. The fabric is very unique because it combines the working process of batik, ikat and songket. This method is the creation of a new product created by a weaving craftsman IB Adnyana from Blahbatuh, Gianyar. In this process, he does not use wax as commonly used in batik processing, but using air brush techniques.
To draw the motif, it uses spike and high-pressured compressor for spraying colors on warp. Ikat weaving with this technique feeds the yarn, and then the yarn feeds are woven so as to provide its own motif. Chairperson of the Dekranasda Gianyar, Mrs. Surya Adnyani Mahayastra, said the selection of the flower buds was based on a very high philosophical value. Red hibiscus was used to make a kalpika consisting of hibiscus leaf as the basis, white frangipani and red hibiscus assembled into one that symbolized God in his manifestation as Trinity.
"On that account, the Gianyar flower lovers chose and stipulated the red hibiscus (pucuk rejuna) as the icon or mascot of Gianyar," said Adnyani Mahayastra amidst the working evaluation meeting of the Dekranasda in 2013 at the Putri Ayu weaving factory, Blahbatuh Gianyar (Jan 10). This hibiscus woven fabric will be introduced to the public through a fashion show on the anniversary parade of the Gianyar Town. Gianyar designers like Ngurah Wijana (Tude), Cok Abi and Bintang Mira will display their masterpiece work. "This hibiscus will be designed into high fashion," she said.
Meanwhile, the Head of the Gianyar Industry and Trade Agency, Gede Widarma Suharta, said that to protect the work of hibiscus weaving fabric his party had submitted the registration of the Intellectual Property Rights (HKI). In the process of the registration, the Indonesian Record Museum (MURI) noted it as the first and longest fabric combining the endek, songket and batik in Indonesia. "For the purpose of this moment, the Putri Ayu weaving factory has woven the hibiscus fabric of about 118 meters," he said. (BTN/015)

Every so often you meet a real-life ninja -- one who boasts multiple talents and is completely fearless. Katie Wilbert is one such ninja. Wilbert is presenting the ninja musical she wrote as part of the Solo Performance class at iO West Sunday, July 14 on the iO West Main Stage, and again August 5-17 at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland where ninjas especially reign.
Here is Ninja Katie in action, artfully handling an amass of questions, some of them kooky:
AK: When did you first know you wanted to perform for a living?
NK: You know, I really grew up knowing from a young age that I loved performing and I guess I never really considered anything else as a real alternative. I wondered if perhaps I couldn't be a baker or party planner or psychologist, but anytime I tried to switch my energy over to some other field, I'd find myself procrastinating by writing songs, or making youtube videos or creating comedic characters. I think it's a desire that was just built into my DNA, because no matter what I try, my heart always brings me back to performing, whatever the avenue.
AK: What is your favorite word to sing?
NK: You know, no one has ever asked me what my favorite WORD to sing is. LOL -- I like that. I really like singing longer more syllabic words. I like the challenge of having to bend them into my songs to make them sound right melodic. In my ninja musical I do that a lot. I'm really picky about the words I use, and if I land on something that explains what I'm thinking or feeling perfectly, even if it doesn't initially rhythmically flow, I'm determined to make it work. In my song "Hero's Life" I sing words like "all sorts of corrupt politicians." It's wordy -- that one sentence alone, but I like the challenge of making things work. Because to me the lyrics are the meat of a song. That's where all the good stuff is.
AK: Which of your family members is the most theatrical?
NK: Aside from myself I'd have to say that my Father, Tom, is the most theatrical in our family. However, his theatrics involve danger and adventure sporting. He's participated in an Iron Man Triathlon; he convinced my whole family to skydive; and he's now a professional motorcycle racer. [Motorcycle racing] was always his dream, and at 50 he will be racing with the big boys this summer at Laguna Seca Moto GP in the AMA division. I'm sure my father would deny he's theatrical at all, but he likes entertaining people through sports, and I've got to say, he's secretly one goofy dude.
AK: From where/whom to you get your confidence?
NK: I definitely get my confidence from my parents. My mother is this total super human who can do anything and everything. She's tried her hand at every profession, and she's legitimately good at all of them. I think this is due to her confidence. She can complete any given task. I've watched her multi-task and say "yes" to so many things over the years, so surely I get my confidence for trying new things from her. My father, as I've mentioned, is a real dare-devil-go-getter. He's just not afraid to try anything! For as long as I can remember he's told me that if I want something bad enough and I work hard, I can truly achieve anything. He's right. I never would have imagined that at 22 I'd have written my own one-woman musical and be taking it to the biggest arts festival in the world. I attribute to my parents the self confidence to believe that I could ever do something as crazy as this.
AK: What do you hope/expect the Edinburgh Festival to be like?
NK: Ha! To be honest I'm still not even sure what I've gotten myself into. Bringing my solo show to Fringe means that I am doing all the marketing, publicity, tech, etc on my own. Something I've never done before. It's been a wild ride and I've learned so much already. For me going to Edinburgh is primarily about the experience and opportunity of taking something I've created and showcasing it to other people who love theater. Would I love to sell out all the shows? Absolutely, yes. But for me, it's more about hearing people laugh and enjoy themselves. That's why I perform at the end of the day, to share an experience with people. Plus, I'm stoked to see the other shows and meet new people from all around the world! I feel so blessed to have this opportunity.
AK: Which real-life ninjas do you most admire?
NK: I'm obsessed with the whole Chuck Norris phenomenon. I know more Chuck Norris jokes than is probably appropriate. I also LOVE the Bill Bill movies, probably because she's a woman assassin and that really expanded my ideas of just how bad-ass women can be. A woman with a katana is a sexy and frightening thing.
AK: What made you decide to do a ninja musical?
NK: It was sort of by accident honestly. I was working with my solo performance teacher (you) and you were asking me what kind of characters I have opinions about, and I replied "Ninjas." I'm not sure I even realized at the time that I had real opinions about ninjas, but apparently I did. It makes sense now that I think of it. My favorite movie growing up was "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles;" I dated a Power Ranger at one point; and my favorite book series is all about, wouldn't you guess it, ninja assassins. I explained that "It must be a hard life being a ninja; you have to be invisible, you can't ever fall in love, all because you're job is to kill people. That's rough." And that was essentially the birth of my musical. Me sympathizing with the hard-knock life of Ninjas.
AK: Are you still afraid of all the ways you might die at any given moment?
NK: I won't lie, I definitely have a tsunami/earthquake survival kit in my house, because I live 1 mile away from the beach in Huntington. I watched too many news reports after Hurricane Katrina and the Tsunami in Japan. I'm not fearing for my life at every moment, but I like the comfort of knowing I'm somewhat prepared for a disaster should it strike. And yes...I do plot out how to thwart of the inevitable robbers and rapists who might break into my house. I have this elaborate escape plan mapped out in my mind which involves turning on my curling iron and using it as a flaming nunchuck. I think that's ingenuity, not insanity. Others, however, might disagree.
AK: You took the solo performance class where you created the ninja musical; you just performed original folk music at a Music Festival in New Zealand; you take classes at Second City and The Groundlings; you record music; and you regularly perform improv around town. Where do you get all the energy, and which vehicle of expression do you most love?
NK: It's going to sound so cheese-ball of me, but I find the energy from my passion to create and perform. AND from coffee. I'm hungry to learn and grow and create new and better things every day. I do wear a lot of hats, it's true, but I'm just determined to do it all, and I don't want to have to put down one thing to do another, so I just make it work. It means that my schedule can be a little crazy sometimes, but I thrive when I'm busy and creative. I think my soul withers a little when I'm resting on my laurels and doing nothing. I also firmly believe that everything I do separately ends up contributing to my overall collective goal. Everyone always asks me, though, 'If you had to choose one thing, what would it be?' and truthfully, gun to my head and everything, I'd pick singing/songwriting. I LOVE comedy, but when I am procrastinating and alone in my room, I'm writing songs. Even when I'm in Los Angeles traffic. I'm always writing songs. That's just, I think, wear my heart defaults.
AK: What is your ultimate writer-performer goal?
NK: It's a two-pronged thesis really: I want to be a professional, world touring singer/songwriter- who's also an an actor on Saturday Night Live. It's not a ridiculous goal at all...Ha! Realistically, I might be able to pull off being a professional recording artist who guest stars on SNL, but until then, I'm gonna keep dreaming of pulling off both. Why not, right? Who's to say I couldn't be the first Singer/Songwriter-SNL hybrid? In fact, that's who I'd like to be.
AK: If you could do a two-person musical, whom would you like that other person to be? It could be ANYONE who is currently living.
NK: Aw crap. There are SO many people who just popped into my head. Will Ferrell is taking the lead on this one, though. Could you imagine how ridiculously fabulous that would be, to be in a two person musical with Will Ferrell? Um, yes. Final answer. Will Ferrell. I forgot all the other names in comparison to him. He's my favorite.
AK: If you could choose someone no longer living, who would it be?
NK: Jesus, obviously. That's because my version of Jesus is this super hot surfer dude who's like "Chill everybody, let's listen to some Bob Marley, take a little stroll on some water, and then I'll turn that business into wine." Jesus would be the ultimate. Jesus Christ and Will Ferrell. No man could dream of topping that mystical combination. Heck, take me out of the mix, I'd like to see a musical with those two. It'd be wild!
AK: What is your greatest fear?
NK: That I'll die before I get the chance to either burn or edit the diaries I've had since I was 12. I feel like I only write in them when I need to vent or have a good cry, so people would find it and be like "Wow, Katie, really?" You know, that or Alzheimer's. I don't want to lose myself. Of course, if I continue to keep a diary, I can probably remedy that. I'll still need to do some editing and burning though...haha.
See Katie Wilbert's "This Life Chose Me: A Ninja Musical" Sunday, July 14 at 10:30pm at iO West and August 5-17 in Edinburgh, Scotland as part of the Edinburgh Fringe.
It's what Jesus, Will Ferrell and Wilbert's parents would do.

Walkin on Sunshine
It's Saturday night and I am writing this for you guys for Sunday a.m.– are you guys sick of me talking about clothes or what?! Well, I am sure all of you are out and about as I am sitting here listening to everyone walking to the Princeton, the Whitebriar, or the Chair (yes this is an early night, I have Robin's baby shower tomorrow a.m. and cannot be tired in any way, shape, or form! but it would be an early night any way for those of you that know me get it). So, I'll give you a little look inside my life. Tonight, it was just the 5 girls (Bo, Nacole, Robin, Poppy, and I) at the Windrift having a great dinner and about to call it a night, when Poppy (my 3 year old niece) is pulling, literally pulling, Nacole to the bar because all she can hear is live music– she wants to dance! Leave it to the 3 year old to pack the dance floor– all they had to do was play "Walkin on Sunshine", a favorite of both of my sister's when we were little, and all of us were on the dance floor along with half of the bar! Poppy was a star and a natural at that! Hope you are all having fun tonight and I will see some of you tomorrow for baby boo boo's celebration!

What is your perspective on Goldust's current work in WWE?
Goldust is having the best stint of his career in 2013. I realize he's won other titles and has been in the business for 23 years but I'll argue that today, he's taken more seriously than he has been in his entire career. It's actually quite phenomenal when you sit back and think about it. After all these years the chips have finally aligned for him and not only for his good, but also to help elevate Cody Rhodes. This is also the sentiment shared by many in the WWE locker room. His work has been off the charts and I've already made a strong case that he understands how to play his character as good as anyone on the WWE roster. I'm not saying Goldust is in line for a world title run but this late-career resurgence is one I'm rooting for like never before.
Do you think that Hulk Hogan has a deal with WWE?
This is a story everyone is trying to get ahead of and the rumors escalated off a report by Examiner.com. I cannot confirm this report as of this writing and haven't mentioned it until now. Since I've received a lot of questions about Hogan returning to WWE, let me tell you what I do know. Hulk Hogan had an option attached to his TNA contract for another year, however, TNA wanted to "sign him to an extension," which was basically a way of asking him to take a pay cut for more years on his deal. Hogan was not receptive to taking less money and felt he still had value in the eyes of WWE. Regardless of what Eric Bischoff claims, Hogan in WWE 2K14 was one of the first steps in Hogan re-building the bridge for him back to WWE. However, let's also be clear – Hogan didn't think TNA would actually decline the option to his contract and they did. This left Hogan a "free agent," which is his status currently. Now Hogan is clearly interested in returning to WWE and sources within WWE indicate there is obviously interest from the McMahon machine. The question seems to indicate – what would Hogan's role be in WWE? I was told WWE wanted something that would feature him on television but used primarily for merchandise and licensing. Hogan's camp claims he wants John Cena at Wrestlemania XXX. So that's where we are – Hogan is interested and WWE is interested. The issue is now, what would a Hogan to WWE deal look like? The Examiner report claims Hogan and WWE have a verbal agreement. Let me remind you what a verbal agreement looks like in the wrestling business – Lex Luger, who verbally agreed to re-sign with the WWF, debuted live on WCW Monday Nitro on September 4, 1995.
Now that John Cena is the World Heavyweight Champion, does that mean WWE is finally giving both world titles equal importance?
This topic always brings me back to a point Adam Wacker made in an article here on WWENews.net back in May. The champion defines the championship, the title doesn't define the worker. No one is going to look at the World title as second-tier with John Cena holding it, a point he made in a recent interview. So Cena as World Heavyweight Champion absolutely helps with the prestige of the belt but how it's treated after Cena will determine its standing.
Does WWE offer tours through their Performance Center?
The WWE Performance Center is not open to the public at this time. There has been a lot of talk about developing a WWE tourist attraction in Orlando that will operate as the company's physical Hall of Fame. WWE was in negotiations with Universal Studios about bringing it there, however, they wanted exclusive rights to the park. Universal wouldn't give them exclusive rights if they wouldn't agree to tape a show there. Now that TNA has returned, it remains to be seen if WWE will still push to have their Hall of Fame in the same park as TNA Wrestling.
From the Ask WNW vault…
December 2010: Jonathan Coachman now works for ESPN in Bristol, Connecticut. If you watch any of the ESPN networks you will probably see him at some point. I certainly do not blame Coachman for pursuing a career in sports broadcasting as there are very few things that could take me away from my position here at Wrestling News World but it would be hard for me to turn down a position with ESPN.

It's not often that one gets to observe the birth of a technological revolution. But that's exactly what attendees of the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) show may have witnessed in Las Vegas this past April. Indeed, nearly every exhibitor introduced initiatives that promised to radically change broadcasting as we know it—from a traditional, one-way delivery vehicle to a new, interactive Internet-based medium known as "Webcasting."

Throwing it down in mid Devon. Started raining middle of yesterday afternoon and doesn't look like stopping ever, at the moment. Might stop building the pond and go for an ark - the lanes were already flooding on the way back from work today.
How lovely, I hope he makes it ... how big is he? I hope the strange weather hasn't convinced lots of them to hatch out just in time to freeze but I don't know how big this year's spring babies would be by now. Perhaps somebody else will know?
Charlie November, who is Willow Rosenburg? And Rogue?
Verdun, I loved the likely lads and Reginald Perrin - and the Liver Birds, and Butterflies with Wendy Craig - I bet lots of people remember that one.
Actually Lily, I've just googled him as well and he's still not bad, if the wikipedia picture is fairly recent!
That's his name! I was trying to remember, but it took me ages to remember the name of the programme and I think my braincell wore out! What does he look like now? I can't believe he's 67 .... but then I still think I'm 17 really.
Tut, Verdun wanting to make money out of the innocent girlish memories we have, when you had to go for a bit of a lie down when Diana Rigg was mentioned ... (it was only the boys who mentioned the leather catsuit ,,,)
I'm so glad you said that, I was wondering if there was some sinister reason why plants had to be in baskets, but if it's only for water clarity I won't bother.
Widows was BRILLIANT wasn't it?
Anybody else going to confess to a teen crush on Paul whatever his name is from Just Good Friends?
Anybody know what happened at the very end of Rock Follies? It was the winter of discontent, I think and the BBC/electricity board/someone went on strike and the whole of the South East missed what happened. (Judy Covington, Rula Lenska and the woman with the nose that nobody can ever remember - I think Dennis Waterman might have been the love interest!)
Skyrunner, loved the video and in awe of your technical skills too.

Clockspider is a popular fad consisting of three images. The first image is a picture of a clock with some weird legs sticking out of it that almost look like wires. The second picture is the most popular. It is a picture of a huge spider (clock-sized) who is standing on a wall. The picture is alleged to be fake however, due to erase marks near pic 1. The third image simply shows a close-up image of the clockspider.
The fad first started on Paranormal/Conspiracy around 2002 when someone made a topic about the pictures. It then quickly spread to the rest of GameFAQs and became a site-wide fad. The Clockspider fad lasted only a few months before it died down but was still remembered. This was due to many people having arachniphobia and getting startled or even nervous just looking at pictures of a 10-inch spider. This fear helped spread the pictures around.

ZF-9191: allow recursive loading of config file
With Zend_Application you can load additional configuration files via
config.subconfig = "subconfig.ini"
Currently it is not possible to load a sub sub configuration file. For example:
config.subsubconfig = "subsubconfig.ini"
configuration file subsubconfig.ini will not be charged.
It would be interesting to implement this recursive loading.
I have quick workaround for this. bq.{{ $application = new Zend_Application( APPLICATION_ENV, APPLICATION_PATH . '/configs/application.ini' );
// Workaround for 2-level recursive including of config files $application->setOptions($application->getOptions());
$application->bootstrap() ->run(); }} It includes at least subsubconfig file, but not subsubsubconfig files... you will have to call {{$application->setOptions($application->getOptions());}} on time for each sub config file level greater than one.

While I've never had another hosting service, I have had to deal with other hosting services. HostPapa is, by far, the best and easiest to deal with. Tech support is prompt and informative. Sales is the same.I've even referred friends to sign up as their current provider was severely lacking in many areas.
Julie Quillin
I have had a very good experience with Host Papa. The tools and organization of my account is very good and I have been very pleased. I just had a new client who I had to use Go Daddy for and I can't wait to move it from there. It has been a nightmare to go thru their system compared to HostPapa
Dane Stevens
Caledon, ON, Canada
Host Papa is a fantastic Web Hosting Company. They have always been easy to work with, always ready to help and are very quick and efficient when it comes to fixing a problem.
Mary Gombas
Waterloo, ON, Canada
We have registered and host several sites with HostPapa for ourselves and our customers. One reason we chose HostPapa was for the "green" hosting, as we value our environment and want to do our part while delivery technologies services. The setup is quick and easy, and if we ever have questions, they are answered very promptly. We are very satisfied with HostPapa!
David Denov
Hostpapa are my all in one webhosting service. They manage my domain, hold my site, are always available and I have had other vendors contact me with better prices, but couldnt compete in the services delivered. I will not be leaving hostpapa in the foreseeable future.

True to his word, Joe charged Cynthia and me not one penny for our tickets, though we gladly bought the revised soundtrack CD, plus a snack or two, to make some contribution to the show's success. Joe's generosity showed itself again when, after a financial problem at the hotel we'd only managed to stay one night in, he actually let us stay in his house for the other two nights we spent in Toronto.
Each day Cynthia and I explored the city, including the CN Tower with its see-through floor on its topmost level. Those of strong equilibrium (which included me – just about) were welcome to stand on the floor to observe the clouds and birds underneath.
In the evenings, we went to Oz!
The show was presented in a delightfully unpretentious manner, beginning with Baum and his troupe of performers opening a large trunk and pulling out some of what would be needed for telling the tale. The stage contained a small proscenium bearing a curtain illustrated with images from throughout Baum's many careers. When this curtain was opened, there was a backdrop of the Kansas prairie, and as the story progressed, other backdrops showed other locales.
Scenes were augmented by bits of furniture and set pieces, some of which were brilliant in their simplicity; for instance, in the scene with the Kalidahs, the gulf over which Dorothy and her friends escape was represented by a large round piece of cloth with a hole in it, painted to look like a chasm. When the Kalidahs "fell" into it, they simply hoisted the cloth up around themselves and exited.
Other special effects were achieved through simple human ingenuity—"humbug," one might say, in line with the philosophy of the musical's opening song—like the Cyclone. The cast members, dressed in black, manipulated various objects in slow motion as if they were being tossed about, and indeed passed Dorothy from person to person as Baum whirled a small model of her house over the heads of the performers on a long pole.
The costumes were also simple and effective, putting across what each character was meant to be without being needlessly cumbersome. The actors playing the Munchkins wore wide skirts covering the wheeled stools they sat on to look dwarfish. The Crows who plagued the Scarecrow wore outfits not unlike those worn by the Crows in the film version of The Wiz, with large sunglasses and black tailcoats. The Kalidahs and Field Mice wore simple animal costumes in various colors, the Winkies all wore striped prison uniforms, and the Citizens of the Emerald City were of course festooned in every shade of green.
The black-furred Winged Monkeys wore yellow vests with a "WM" logo (no, I didn't sue them) on the front and fairy wings on the back. The Hammer-heads wore sheaths of fabric to make them look armless and buckets on their heads with angry faces painted on them.

Kim Perry has a brainstorm. Though she has been involved in the Healthy Habits Coop for some time, she and a number of volunteers have decided to take the CSA (or community supported agriculture) model used by Urban Harvest and others and give it a serious twist. The Backyard Garden Growers Project endeavors to use unproductive space in the back yards of Houston homeowners to create a cooperative network of gardens. In exchange for a dedicated space in a backyard or unused part of private property, Perry and her corps of volunteers will install a permanent garden, including structure, soil and seeds. The property owner commits to tending the garden for one year, helping to install one other backyard garden and sharing their own harvest with other coop participants. In exchange for this commitment, they get the permanent garden installation and help with soil and pest control. And best of all, they get to share in the harvest of other backyard growers. Like the traditional CSAs, the Backyard Garden Growers Project will have other shareholders who support the coop financially but do not participate in the growing.
This is such a wonderful and progressive idea—to utilize the often spacious, yet unutilized back yards of Houston to provide produce for communities and families. At a time when the entire country is focusing on obesity and the reality of food deserts, the Backyard Garden Growers Project and it's non-profit partner Healthy Habits Coop are dedicated to promoting the growth of sustainable, local food solutions and supporting the development of local and organic food purchasing cooperatives. Perry says she realized that not everyone can or wants to trudge to the Farmer's Market every Saturday in order to buy locally grown produce. Farmer's Markets can be time consuming and expensive. And she's found that people have a desire to grow their own, but need the support of experienced gardeners to make it happen. So far she has 140 families who are interested in participating.
Even for families who are not yet green thumbs, the experience can yield more than just a gorgeous crop of fresh produce. Perry endeavors to teach the whole family how to grow, with children learning about the source of the food they eat. It's a great way, she says, for connecting children with the land and healthy ways of eating.
I had the pleasure of receiving a perfect yellow heirloom tomato from Kim's garden. It was not only a beauty to behold, it was delicious.(See slide show) She also shared with me a gorgeous small watermelon that is almost too lovely to consume. (So I am saving it for Father's Day!) These gifts are clearly the results of a woman gardener who knows what she is doing! When you commit to a garden in your yard, Perry consults with you about what is best to grow in your location. She establishes the right soil (which is no small feat if you are a novice) and she remains available to help new gardeners with potential problems. All of this is available at no cost to the homeowner.
The Backyard Garden Growers Project is currently raising funds to start 8 new gardens. Their Kickstarter campaign is HERE.
If you believe in the value of community endeavor—in educating children and entire families about healthy eating and the source of wholesome foods, and in an effort that transforms unproductive land into nutritional bounty for entire communities, then give to The Backyard Garden Growers Project.
I am happy to have met Kim Perry, a passionate and talented visionary who, I think, is onto something BIG!
The Backyard Garden Growers Project website is HERE.

The Scientific Basis for Companion Planting
The expression "companion planting" sounds like garden lore you should have learned at your grandmother's knee, right?
If you missed out, you can now get the 21st century update on the topic, at the knee of Washington State University Associate Professor Linda Chalker-Scott.
The Science of Companion Planting
Professor Chalker-Scott points out that there is a lot of "lore" and not as much logic in many of the traditionally suggested planting combinations.
Instead of using time-honored charts, she suggests looking specifically at the interactions between the plants. She breaks the kinds of interactions down into three categories—chemical, physical, and biological.
In our latest video, Tricia explains these three reasons for companion planting, and shows you some popular plant combinations.
Chemical Companion Planting
Legumes change the soil chemically when they take nitrogen out of the air and fix it in the soil. For extra nitrogen plant peas, beans, clover, and alfalfa.
Marigolds produce thiophenes, that deter nematodes in the soil.
Physical Companion Planting
People need elbow room and plants need root room. Lettuce, carrots, and onions grow roots that go down to different depths—and these vegetables can grow comfortably side by side.
Biological Companion Planting
This is probably what you think of when you hear the term "companion planting"—the above-ground interactions between different plants.
Plant flowers that act as "trap crops" to attract pests and keep them busy, well away from your vegetables—nasturtiums are a common trap crop to keep the pests away from kale.
Aromatic herbs (think basil, rosemary, lavender, sage) and alliums (onions and garlic) will repel many insects. Mix these in with your more susceptible plants, such as tomatoes. Planting different kinds of herbs and vegetables together is called "intercropping". Basil emits a strong aroma that will keep some insects from noticing a neighboring tomato plant.
Some plant combos are destructive. For instance, onions will stunt the growth of peas and beans, from the legume family.
Lure the good bugs to your garden with flowers called umbels. These flat-topped flowers are easy dining for many good bugs that have small mouths. Dill is a classic umbel plant; you can plant a mixture of Good Bug attractors with our high or low-growing Good Bug Blend seed mixes. Or open a 24-hour-buffet for beneficial insects with our Good Bug Food painted on wooden garden labels.
Pests and diseases will come back to the same old place if you keep planting members of the same family in the same garden spot. So rotate your crops. Refresh your recollection about vegetable families by taking a quick peek at our article and short video about crop rotation.
For more information we recommend two excellent books.
A favorite reference on all things vegetable is the 2009 update of The Vegetable Gardener's Bible ($24.99). Noted for being easy to use, the Bible lives up to its reputation with two pages of simple-to-understand companion planting charts (pages 50-51).
Want all companion planting, all the time? You'll enjoy Carrots Love Tomatoes ($14.99) with 200+ pages of details about which vegetables, herbs and flowers grow best together.
Companion planting is one more way to make your organic garden a healthy spot to grow vegetables.
