Thanks to our guest blogger, Martine Sainvil, HGTV Program Management Coordinator
A few years ago, one of my best friends and I decided that we wanted to be adventurers (a notion that never ever turns out quite the way you expect it to) so we booked ourselves on a trip to Morocco.
Before leaving, everyone asked if I was going to get a rug. I told them that I was going away to find out more about how other people live, to learn more about myself and in search of a great meal. I was not going to buy a rug. There was no room in my luggage; I didn't have a space for it in my home and it wouldn't match my decor. I was resolute.
Once in Morocco, there was always something new to see and experience. The days flew by as we traveled from city to city. I stuck to my pre-trip ideals and only picked up little trinkets for friends and family as souvenirs.
Pleased with myself and loving the experience, I thought I was home free. I bet you can guess what happened next.
Before I knew it, I was sitting on my suitcase begging it to zip close after stuffing it with two rugs. That's right, two of them. But I don't regret my purchases for a second because I love them so much. Just goes to show that an adventure in life can lead to a greater one in design.

We offer many Montana elk hunting options: archery elk hunting, elk hunting in the Bob Marshall Wilderness, combination guided elk hunts with mule deer, whitetail and bear. All of our Montana elk hunts require more or less rigor and we offer elk hunting in three distinct seasons. Our season starts with archery elk hunting. We then offer rifle elk hunts in the Bob Marshall Wilderness. Elk hunting in the wilderness is special as the Bob Marshall is one of the few areas in the country where you can rifle hunt elk during the rut or bugle. Our last hunting season is during the general Montana hunting season. We offer combination elk, mule deer or whitetail hunts off of horseback out of our lower camp in the Swan Valley.
With exclusive access in the areas where we hunt, Swan Mountain Outfitters is able to offer archer elk hunters perhaps one of the most unique and best opportunities to bag an elk of a lifetime. Our archery elk hunting areas are so remote that in some cases it takes us nearly two days to get there and is home to many distinct elk herds. We have experimented with various styles of guided archery elk hunts and we believe we have landed upon an offering that delivers the ultimate archery elk hunting experience in Montana.
Archery hunting elk, requiring close proximity to the animal, is, by its very nature, quite different from hunting these animals using a rifle. Archery hunts necessitate minimizing over exposure of hunting areas as well as using outstanding calling abilities and guides who know the difference between techniques utilized for archery versus rifle hunts.
For these reasons Swan Mountain Outfitters takes only two hunters to each of our areas on our archery elk hunts in any of our "archery only" designated areas for three 7-day sessions. Even though the season is longer, we focus soley on the time frame before, during and after the rut to maximize our opportunity. Our archery elk hunters will actually hunt 5 days, with the rest of the time spent getting to and from the area.
We employ two-on-one guiding as we have found it is the best way to maximize our hunters opportunities to be successful. What makes an archery elk hunt truly successful is the hunting skill of the guide. We have perhaps some of the top guides in the country as we operate a guide school and therefore had the opportunity to hand select and train our staff. Most of our archery elk guides have been hunting with bows for years.
We utilize a spike camp, and are so finicky about scent control and noise that we don't burn fires or have the comforts of our typical hunting camps – its all about getting archers their elk. But make no mistake about it, these are mountain based hunts and very physically demanding.
Our archery elk hunts are the first to book up, and we typically have been booked two years in advance, so don't wait!
Our back country or wilderness elk hunts are guided elk hunts into the Bob Marshall Wilderness. These are among the most rugged Montana elk hunts, and we often describe them as extreme hunts or the ultimate free chase elk hunt. Elk hunters are treated to waking up to the sound of bugling. Montana wilderness elk hunts are operated in earlier hunting seasons, so we are able to offer a rifle hunt for elk during the rut. Many of our elk hunters also bring a bow so they can archery elk hunt in the surrounding area. Multi weapon hunts are popular with elk hunters that like to maximize their opportunity. There are opportunities for mule deer and black bear in combination with the elk hunts.
Our regular season guided elk hunts use the assistance of mother nature to bring the elk out of the mountains and in proximity to our lower camp. We utilize our horses to search the front range of the Bob Marshall for elk and mule deer. When the weather is right, migration of elk begins and affords our late season elk hunters an opportunity to bag an elk at lower altitudes. Regular season elk hunts are ideal for hunters that aren't physically able to make a wilderness elk hunt. These are good first time elk hunts for youth elk hunters. The opening week of regular season also allows us to utilize spike camps in order to get in closer proximity to the elk and mule deer for opening day. This spike camp strategy has produced many harvested elk and mule deer in seasons past. An extra bonus is that our base camp is in the heart of whitetail deer territory for hunters looking to combination hunt.

Whitney Houston lay dead under bath water at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, her luxury suite littered with bottles of prescription pills, Amoxicillin and Xanax among them. She was pronounced dead at 3:55pm on Saturday, February 11th at age 48.
The latest report on cause of death is that she died from mixing a cocktail of Xanax and other powerful prescription drugs with alcohol. There was not enough water in her lungs for her to have drowned, so she had to have died before falling asleep in the water. Although the autopsy is complete, results from the toxicology report will take approximately 4-6 weeks.
A family source told TMZ it was Houston's aunt, Mary Jones, who discovered Houston's unresponsive body in the bathtub and administered CPR. Jones had only left the room for a half hour after laying Houston's dress for that evening's pre-Grammy gala out on the bed.
Houston was a six-time Grammy winner, one of the world's best-selling artists from the mid-1980s to the late 1990s, godchild of Aretha Franklin, cousin to Dionne Warwick, and also a successful black actress.
She was remembered at the Grammys when LL Cool J introduced a clip of Houston singing her signature ballad, a cover of Dolly Parton's, "I Will Always Love You." Also, Bonnie Raitt and Stevie Wonder praised Houston during their performances. Jennifer Hudson paid tribute with an emotion version of, "I Will Always Love You," and ended with a personal note: "Whitney, we love you." Houston's famous song was the most downloaded single on iTunes that Sunday.
Meanwhile, Houston's 18 year old daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, whose father is Bobby Brown, was transported by ambulance to a Los Angeles hospital Sunday morning. She was treated for stress and anxiety and later released. This is the second time Brown has been hospitalized since her mother's death. Her family fears she might be suicidal. They've described her as, "hysterical, exhausted and inconsolable."
The night before, Brown got into an angry shouting match with police officers outside the hotel room where her mother was found dead, when they refused to let her see the singer's body. Other family members and friends who had been in the room when authorities arrived identified Houston's body. So when Brown showed up several hours after Houston's death and was informed no one was allowed to see the body, she screamed, cursed, demanded to see her mother and left. She then allegedly passed out and was admitted after drinking alcohol and taking a sedative pill given to her by one of her mother's entourage to calm her down.
Houston's ex-husband of 15 years, Bobby Brown, was in Nashville at the time of Houston's death and Bobbie Kristina's trip to the hospital. He was said to be, "in and out of crying fits," but still appeared on stage Saturday with his band New Edition and cried out "I love you Whitney!" in the middle of the concert.
Brown then cancelled a concert in order to be by his daughter's side. He told TMZ, "I am deeply saddened at the passing of my ex-wife, Whitney Houston. At this time, we ask for privacy, especially for my daughter, Bobbi-Kristina. I appreciate all of the condolences that have been directed towards my family and I at this most difficult time."

Why Sexist Dress Codes Have Got To Go
Shopping for school clothes was a nightmare in high school. Attending a private Christian school with a strict dress code, I had a lot of rules to follow: No jeans, sweat pants, yoga pants, or anything tight, revealing, or body forming. Basically nothing that was in style or readily available in stores.
Yet despite following the dress code to the best of my ability, I was still told that my pants were too tight, my shirt too low, or my skirt too short. I vividly remember being taken aside one day on the way to chapel to kneel down and have my skirt measured with a ruler. It was humiliating. I was told my favorite Old Navy skirt was a quarter of an inch too short, …

GEORGETOWN — Gail Shea, regional minister for Prince Edward Island and minister of National Revenue, today announced the transfer of the Port of Georgetown to Georgetown Port Inc. (GPI).
The transfer agreement includes a contribution of $3.8 million from the Government of Canada to cover operational costs and maintain the port's infrastructure.
Shea made the announcement on behalf of Denis Lebel, Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities.
"Today is a great day for the community of Georgetown," said Shea. "This transfer means the port is now managed by those best positioned to ensure its ongoing success — people from this community, local businesses and port users. Our government's investment of $3.8 million will help GPI to attract new commercial opportunities that will support growth and long-term prosperity for Prince Edward Island."
"Community-based ownership of this port will encourage economic development, create local jobs and help generate new business activity in Georgetown," said Lebel. "This transfer is also an important measure to save taxpayers' money."
The Port of Georgetown is situated on a deep water harbour with facilities currently used for general cargo shipping and support to marine industries including shipbuilding, fish processing and aquaculture. The wharf is 290 metres long by 41 metres wide and supports four working berths with a minimum depth of eight metres. A 50 metre by 12 metre transit shed is located on the wharf.
GPI, a not-for-profit local entity comprising local businesses and community stakeholders, was established to promote the development of the port.
"We are excited about our port's outlook," said GPI chair Tim Mair. "Georgetown Port Inc. will work hard to ensure the Port of Georgetown continues to contribute to the economic growth of this community and will be looking for new development opportunities in the future."
The Port Divestiture Program aims to transfer ownership and operation of Transport Canada-owned ports to other federal departments, provincial/territorial governments or local interests, including municipalities, which are better positioned to operate these ports in a manner that is more efficient and responsive to local needs.

Evanescence's Amy Lee: New Single 'Doesn't Sound Like Any Evanescence Track You've Heard Before'
Goth-inspired rockers Evanescence are the hot topic of the moment, thanks to the news their new album will finally dropping Oct. 4. Now, frontwoman Amy Lee is speaking out about the band's metallic new effort, and she says it's "more mature" than anything they've done previously.
"I can't give a good quote about it, because it's probably the heaviest record we've ever done, but we're having a great time making it," the singer told MTV News, laughing. "I don't want to say the word 'fun,' but it is … it's totally fun. We're just going for it…I mean, it's just more mature; it's just a great record. It's hard to sum it up."
Lee promises the first single is nothing like Evanescence of the past. Although the chugging guitars and anguish pop textures are still there.
"It's really different for us. It doesn't sound like any Evanescence track you've heard before," she said the song, which has yet to be announced. "It's heavy, but the melodies and stuff, I feel like I just did what I wanted. I just literally sang what I wanted to sing, because it was fun and it kind of made me smile, and that ended up being the really fun, cool, catchy thing that got everybody hooked on it."
Themes are universal, from the quest for freedom to falling in love: " …It's just all over the place," Lee said.
Lee took a novel approach to songwriting for the self-titled album, which is Evanescence's first in five years. She wound up writing lyrics about the world, taking a broader approach than just singing about her own experiences.
"That's not something I did on 'The Open Door.' 'The Open Door' was all about me and my personal experiences," she said. "And there's some moments on this one that are actually taken from things that I watched go down, from my friends and stuff like that. But really, whatever makes me feel the most, that's what's on the record, because that's what I need to get off my chest."
Evanescence are currently taping their self-titled third album at a Nashville studio with producer Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Velvet Revolver). Are you stoked for it?

'The Bachelorette' bachelor Ben Scott: The guys knew my intentions, I was there for Desiree Hartsock
By Elizabeth Kwiatkowski, 06/06/2013
The Bachelorette
bachelor Ben Scott, a 28-year-old entrepreneur from Dallas, TX, is still in the running for
Desiree Hartsock
's heart.
Ben, who followed his adorable four-year-old son Brody out of the limo on the first night, has made waves in
The Bachelorette
mansion amongst his fellow suitors. Ben has taken an aggressive approach to dating Desiree, stealing her away from intimate conversations with other bachelors to spend time alone with her and allegedly acting like a frontrunner ever since he got the season's first rose.
During a Thursday conference call with reporters, Ben talked to Reality TV World about the season thus far and the drama that surrounded him in the house. Below is what he had to say.
Check back with Reality TV World soon for more from Ben's call.
Reality TV World: You told Desiree during the premiere episode you had your son Brody with a friend, which is a pretty unusual decision to make in your early 20s. Would you mind talking about that a little bit? Was it something you did intentionally, and if so, how did you come to that decision?
Ben Scott:
I think that's one of the statements that I made on the show to Des that has probably had the most, I guess, controversy about it. How it came off is not exactly how it was meant to be.
My son's mother was actually my college girlfriend and we had Brody and we tried to make things work, and in the end, we really just sat down and talked and said, "What's best for our situation? We don't want to get married just to get married because we have a kid. We want to get married because we're in love."
And in the end, we decided that that's not where we were in our lives. So we thought it was better for Brody to have two parents who are very happy but aren't together than to have two parents that are together and are very unhappy, because we've both seen that in our earlier childhoods, and we didn't want that for our son. We saw it with friends' parents.
But you know, it's really just been the best situation Brody could ask for with what we're going through. Me and Stevie, which is my son's mother, we turned into best friends and we've remained -- we've kept a very good relationship and he's very happy. He knows he's very loved and I've honestly never seen a happier kid.
It's not the ideal situation, but it's definitely working out great. So, she is really one of my best friends now and that's what that comment meant, was that even though we tried not being together, we remained best friends.
Reality TV World: At the cocktail reception during Monday night's episode, there was a group of guys -- which included Brandon Andreen, Mikey Tenerelli and Michael Garofola -- that were talking amongst themselves about how you brought up the bar you own and mentioned something about how previous bachelors would have a bar that turned into five bars after appearing on the show. They also said you talked about your company a lot more than your son. What's your response to that and, I guess, did you realize you were giving off that impression?
Ben Scott:
That comment actually surprised me -- that conversation. I mean, we all knew what everybody did. We all knew what everybody's intentions were and they knew what mine were. And sometimes I wonder if the fact that you're a business owner makes you have a target on your back, like, "Are you doing this for the wrong reasons?"
And I talked about my son all the time, but I talked about him with my group of friends, and there were some people I did talk to more than others. Some of those people I didn't talk to that much may have been in that group making that conversation, but I talked about my son all the time.
And I missed him a lot from Day 1. I missed him. He's everything, so that comment did actually catch me a little offguard, but some people decide to make judgements without really truly knowing somebody. But that conversation doesn't really bother me because I knew the reason I was there and I was there for Des, and mostly, they knew that.
Reality TV World: Obviously in next week's episode, it looks like one of the guys in the house has a girlfriend and she comes to the mansion to not only confront him but warn Des of his relationship at home. What were your thoughts when that happened? Did you guys ever hear this bachelor talk about his girlfriend or did it come as a complete surprise to all of you?
Ben Scott:
That scene is going to be something to watch and it's definitely going to be interesting to viewers. I'm not going to be able to comment much on that scene, but it's definitely going to be a big part of the next episode for reasons that we all know.
Reality TV World: Did you guys think that bachelor was there for the right reasons at least in the beginning prior to the moment his girlfriend showed up?
Ben Scott:
At this point, I can't really comment on that. I think in the next episode you're going to see exactly what the guys thought. The guys were pretty vocal on exactly what they thought about the situation.
Reality TV World: It seemed like although you were getting under the guys' skin, you weren't really trying to do that, like it wasn't intentional on your part. Did you actually hope and/or want to get along with the guys in the house but it just didn't turn out that way, or did you not care about that at all? Was it the type of situation where you tried to be nice to their faces so they wouldn't tell Des anything bad about you or something?
Ben Scott:
No, it was never about doing things in front of them and then doing something else behind their back. It was never like that. Of course I did want to be friends with the guys in the house and I did have a lot of friends in the house. Some guys were not okay with the way that stealing Des was handled, but I did have many friends in the house.
And I did spend time, when I wasn't on dates, developing those friendships and learning about the other guys. And you know, I think I've got some really good friends that came off this show, but I never wanted to hurt anybody. My intentions were never in the wrong place.
Just in the moment, you're still pretty nervous. Your situation is not necessarily what you're used to. So, you know, I made the decisions I made and that's pretty much all I can say on that, that I did have friends in the house and I did try to build those friendships while I was getting to know Des. But in the end, we were there for Des, so that was my main concentration.
Reality TV World: So you mentioned you had some close friends in the house, could you tell me who they were?
Ben Scott:
Yeah, I mean, I was on good terms with most of the guys, at least from what I thought... But [Brad McKinzie] was one of my really good friends and [Zak Kalter] was one of my good friends. [Robert "Bobby" Graham] was a good friend of mine, and unfortunately for Robert, he had to go.
I had some other good friends in the house but those are the people that I connected with really well. I connected with [Brooks Forester] because he's a really great guy. So you know, we really had a great group of guys and a lot of us really thought, "This is probably some of the best candidates."
It was just a fun group of guys and we had a lot of fun together, but you throw a girl in the mix, and sometimes things change -- especially a girl like Des, who is so much fun. I think people are definitely going to start, um -- well I'll just stop there.
Reality TV World: If not you, at this point in the season, who else did you envision being a great match for Des?
Ben Scott:
It's really early on to know everybody and the thing that I always believed was, I only know what's going on between me and Des. I only know how our relationship is progressing. I have no idea what's going on with her and the other guys, so I'm not there for their conversations. I'm not there for their moments.
So I 100% percent was just concentrating on how my relationship with Des was growing. It's going great. It's going at a rapid rate and it's really looking good, so that's the thing that I was concentrating on. I got asked a lot by other guys, "Hey what do you think Des is really after?" And honestly, I never had a really good answer for that, because I just really knew what was going on between me and Des.
Above is what Ben had to say to Reality TV World. Check back with us soon for more.

Thank you for reviewing this recipe.
I've made candy for years and it has always been a production so this year I tried some new recipes to see if it was as good as the old fashion candy and it was and a lot easier to make.
I made these one time so far and have yet to run into a family member who hasn't asked for them again! The whole family will enjoy!
I can usually make anything from peanut brittle to fudge and well these buckeyes just didnt turn out for me. I mean people ate them but they didn't taste like they should of. Maybe it was me? I follwed everything so...Next year I am going with a different recipe!
Easy and Delicious!

Milk boxes can safely live in the pantry until you're ready to chill and enjoy! No Artificial Colors, Flavors, or High Fructose Corn Syrup 8 Grams of protein per serving Excellent source of calcium and Vitamin D Frequently Asked Questions Are Horizon organic products okay for people with wheat and gluten allergies? They make every effort to ensure that Horizon organic products are free of wheat, wheat gluten, rye, oats, barley and malt. While it is virtually impossible to be certain that each carton is 100% free of all gluten, Horizon organic products are suitable for most people with wheat and gluten allergies. People with severe allergies should consult a doctor before introducing a new food. Are Horizon products pasteurized? Yes. Pasteurization is the process of heating milk to make it safe from harmful bacteria and to increase its longevity. For their half gallon and gallon products, Horizon uses both high-temperature short-time (HTST) pasteurization, and ultra-pasteurization (UP). HTST milk is labeled "pasteurized," while UP milk is labeled "ultra-pasteurized." Aside from the fact that UP milk has a longer shelf life, there is no detectable difference between UP and HTST milk; the products taste identical to each other and have the same nutritional value. Their single serve milks are processed using ultra-high temperature (UHT) pasteurization. Also known as aseptic or shelf-stable processing, this method allows their single serve milk to stay fresh without refrigeration for extended periods of time. Pasteurization practices are standardized and regulated by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Is milk still considered organic even if it is homogenized? Why do they homogenize their milk? Homogenized milk can still be organic. Homogenization is simply the process of breaking up and dispersing milkfat, which results in smooth, drinkable milk with a uniform texture. They homogenize their milk so that the butterfat, or cream, does not rest at the top of the milk. The process allows us to offer a variety of fat levels and does not impact the organic qualities of their milk. How long can I keep Horizon products after the date on the package? The date on the package is called the sell-by date. Generally, Horizon products will stay fresh for approximately seven days beyond this date, provided they have been refrigerated properly and kept unopened. Products opened before the sell-by date should be refrigerated at all times and should stay fresh for approximately seven days after opening. Horizon single serve products are specially processed to stay fresh for extended periods without refrigeration. Once opened, single serves must be refrigerated and can be expected to remain fresh for seven days. Why are the dates on their milk so far out? They offer both pasteurized and ultra-pasteurized refrigerated milk. Milk labeled "pasteurized" will usually have a sell-by date of one to two weeks away. Milk labeled "ultra-pasteurized" has a longer shelf life, and will usually display a sell-by date of several weeks away. Aside from the fact that ultra-pasteurized milk has a longer shelf life, there is no detectable difference between pasteurized and ultra-pasteurized milk; the products taste identical to each other and have the same nutritional value. Horizon single serves are specially processed to allow them to stay fresh without refrigeration for many months. However, once opened, these products must be refrigerated and should be consumed within a week. What is the best way to store Horizon organic milk? To preserve freshness, milk should be stored between 33°F and 40°F, which is typical for a household refrigerator. Milk will spoil more rapidly if unrefrigerated for even a short amount of time. Every hour that milk is above 40°F will decrease its life by one day. Can I freeze Horizon organic milk? Freezing is not recommended for fluid milk, half-and-half or cream. Although freezing is unlikely to alter milk's nutrition, it will change its consistency. Milk that has been frozen and thawed in the refrigerator can be used in baking and cooking. Does Horizon organic single serve milk need refrigeration? Single serve milk is packaged in individual aseptic containers and will keep at room temperature, unopened, up to seven months or until the date code. This extended shelf life is possible due to ultra-high temperature (UHT) pasteurization. UHT pasteurization and special aseptic packaging keep single serve products fresh and safe without refrigeration. Once opened, the product must be refrigerated and can be expected to remain fresh up to seven days. Is it safe to drink Horizon organic single serve milk at room temperature? Yes. However, because most people are used to drinking refrigerated milk, Horizon single serves should be chilled and shaken before opening for maximum enjoyment. Besides being safe and nutritious, single serve containers are portable and convenient. They are ideal for sending in lunchboxes or toting to soccer practice or swimming lessons. Why did you remove the pull tab from the single serve milks? The pull tab was removed to reduce milk leakage around the straw. They received comments from parents about milk leaking around the straw when younger children tipped cartons over or held them upside down. With the new design, there is a superior seal around the straw and less opportunity for milk to leak. Why did you change the formulation of the single serve milks? They changed the formulation to reduce the fat content and also to reduce the sugar content of the flavored varieties. Horizon single serve milks previously contained 2% milk, and they have been reformulated with 1% milk. With the reformulation, the amount of sugar in the chocolate, strawberry and vanilla single serves has also been reduced. How is Horizon organic milk packaged? They make every effort to use packaging materials that are safe, responsibly sourced and recyclable. Their half-gallon and quart milk cartons are constructed from recyclable opaque paperboard. The state-of-the-art, chlorine-free process used to whiten the paperboard results in no harmful residues, including dioxins. Their milk cartons do not contain harmful chemicals such as chlorine, and they are printed using food-safe water-based inks. Their shelf-stable single serves are made with Tetra-Pak aseptic technology that allows milk to be stored at room temperature for up to seven months or until the date code. Once opened, they must be refrigerated. These packages are also made of recyclable paperboard. Gallon containers are made of recyclable #2 HDPE plastic. Their opaque white color serves as a barrier to the ultraviolet rays of store lights, protecting the milk's freshness and nutritional value. How can I recycle Horizon packaging? Their half gallon cartons, gallon jugs and aseptic single serve containers are all recyclable. The availability of recycling facilities to process these packages varies from one community to another. Please visit their packaging partner, TetraPak, to learn more about recycling facilities in your area. If their packages are not being recycled in your community, they urge you to encourage and work with your local recycling center to expand their efforts. How can you tell that a product is really organic? Look for the words "certified organic" or the USDA organic seal on the product's packaging. The USDA organic seal assures consumers of the quality and integrity of organic products. Certified organic operations must have an organic system plan and records verifying compliance with that plan. These operations are subject to an annual inspection and spot checks to ensure they continue to meet strict standards. What does the USDA Organic seal mean? Since October 21, 2002, all organic food must be certified to a single, unified national standard by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). The USDA organ ic seal assures consumers of the quality and integrity of organic products. Organic-certified operations must have an organic system plan and records verifying compliance with that plan. These operation s are subject to an annual inspection and spot checks to ensure they continue to meet strict standards. What do the terms "100% Organic", "Organic" & "Made with Organic Ingredients" really mean? A label stating "100% Organic" means that 100% of the ingredients and other substances, such as processing aids, are 100% certified organic. Most often these are fresh fruits and vegetables or products with very few ingredients. "Organic" means that 95-100% of the ingredients are organic. All Horizon products are labeled this way. Only food items that meet the criteria above can use the USDA organic seal. Foods labeled "Made with Organic Ingredients" contain 70-94% organic ingredients and cannot use the USDA organic seal. What type of USDA label do Horizon organic products carry? Horizon proudly displays the USDA organic seal on all their packaging. As is standard for milk, Horizon organic milk has vitamin D added in order to aid calcium absorption. As required by the United States Food and Drug Administration (USDA), their reduced fat, lowfat and fat-free varieties also have vitamin A added. Both of these vitamins are added in small amounts and are USDA-approved as ingredients in organic food. However, because these vitamins are not available in an organic form, their milk is labeled "Organic" rather than "100% Organic." Is Horizon milk processed organically? Yes, they work with approximately 40 certified organic processing and handling operations to manufacture and package their products. Each one is audited at least annually during an onsite organic inspection conducted by USDA-accredited certifying agent representatives or independent inspectors. Additionally, they regularly review site-specific organic certifications, policies and procedures. Where does Horizon get its milk? Horizon organic milk comes from over 600 certified organic family farms in 21 states. Their family farmer partners supply 93% of their milk. Horizon also owns and operates two of their own organic farms, that supply 7% of their milk. Learn more. How big are Horizon's partner farms? The farms that provide their milk come in all shapes and sizes from every region of the country. But they all share the belief that organic milk makes sense for healthy families and a healthy planet. The average herd size of a Horizon partner farm is 90 cows. Learn more about Their Farms. How are Horizon's farms certified organic? Each farm is required to demonstrate compliance with a site-specific organic system plan and National Organic Program standards. This is done via onsite monitoring, annual organic inspections by USDA-accredited certifying agent representatives or independent inspectors, and routine visits from Horizon field personnel. The same is true for their company-owned farms in Idaho and Maryland. Who certifies Horizon's farms to ensure they meet organic standards? All organic farms must be certified by an independent, third-party certifier to ensure stringent USDA organic standards are met. Organic certification includes annual inspections and spot checks. Their farmer partners may choose from USDA accredited certifiers. Quality Assurance International (QAI) certifies Horizon's two company-owned farms. To learn more, visit Their Farms. Where does Horizon get their cows? They raise their own organic calves from birth on their company-owned farms, as do their family farmer partners. What do Horizon's cows eat? All Horizon cows graze on certified organic pasture. When they are not on pasture, they are fed only organic, vegetarian feed that has been produced without the use of genetically modified grains or the use of toxic and persistent herbicides, pesticides or fertilizers. How often do Horizon's cows graze in the pasture? In compliance with USDA Organic Regulations, all Horizon cows must graze on pasture for at least four months of the year. The grazing season varies depending on geographic region. Cows are required to have year-round access to the outdoors, shade, shelter, exercise areas and direct sunlight. Fresh air and exercise are considered vital to a cow's health even in the non-pasture season. Every farmer is responsible for creating and adhering to a pasture management plan that must be updated annually. Does Horizon use antibiotics or growth hormones on their cows? The use of antibiotics is strictly prohibited in organic dairy animals, including calves, at all stages of life. The first and best defense against illness is prevention. But when a calf or cow does become ill, they rely on natural and alternative methods as their preferred treatment. If a sick animal cannot be restored to full health with organic-approved treatments, they may administer antibiotics or other prescribed synthetic medicines to return a calf or cow to good health. However, when antibiotics or other prohibited materials are administered, the animal is no longer considered organic and is permanently removed from the herd. They always consider the well-being of their animals first and never allow an animal to suffer. The use of added growth hormones rBST and rBGH is strictly prohibited on Horizon farms. The use of these substances is not allowed in any organic dairy. What happens if a cow becomes sick on an organic farm? The first and best defense against illness is prevention. Quality pasture, high-forage diets, low-stress birthing, regular veterinary checkups, freedom of movement and clean living conditions all contribute to preventive health care. When a calf or cow does become ill, they rely on natural and alternative methods as their preferred treatment. The use of antibiotics is strictly prohibited. If a sick animal cannot be restored to full health with organic-approved treatments, they may administer antibiotics or other prescribed synthetic medicines. However, when antibiotics or other prohibited materials are administered, the animal is no longer considered organic and is permanently removed from the herd. They always consider the well-being of their animals first and never allow an animal to suffer. Are cows produced by cloning technology considered organic? No, cloned animals cannot be considered organic under National Organic Program regulations. Horizon does not allow cloned animals on its partner or company-owned farms. Who owns Horizon? Horizon is a brand within WhiteWave Foods, a leader in corporate citizenship. WhiteWave is dedicated to manufacturing innovative, authentic and nutritious branded food products through socially and environmentally responsible practices. WhiteWave Foods is a subsidiary of Dean Foods Company. Where is Horizon located? The company got its start in Boulder, Colorado, in 1991. Their headquarters are now located just a few miles from Boulder in Broomfield, Colorado. Their family farm partners, who supply 93% of Horizon's milk, are in 21 states around the country. Their company-owned farms are in Idaho and Maryland. What is the relationship between Horizon and The Organic Cow? The Organic Cow, a well-known and respected organic milk brand in the Northeast, was acquired by Horizon in 1999. Since that time, Horizon and The Organic Cow have shared the same milk supply. Horizon made a business decision in late 2010 to consolidate these brands, and will gradually transition The Organic Cow packaging to the Horizon brand during 2011. Although packaging will change, the milk inside-and the farms that supply it-will remain exactly the same. Does the change from The Organic Cow to Horizon affect the milk? No, the milk is not affected at all. Horizon and The Organic Cow already share the same organic milk supply, so this packaging change does not affect the product. The same farms will continue to supply the milk. Am I still supporting family farms in New England if I purchase Horizon milk? Absolutely! Horizon works with a network of nearly 600 organic family farms across the country, including more than 100 in New England. You are what you eat. Their dairy products are among the most naturally nutrient-rich around. Packed with valuable vitamins and minerals, they're a smart choice for growing families. Just like nature intended They think that the more you learn about the facts behind organic, the better you'll feel about choosing organic foods for your family's table. Top 3 reasons organic is worth it Wholesome Food Good food comes from good practices. Organic farmers use natural, holistic methods to maintain a healthy and productive herd. That's good news for the cows, for the planet and most of all, for your family. No use of synthetic pesticides.The cows that produce Horizon Organic milk only eat fresh, organic pasture and certified organic feed, and they are raised on farms where no synthetic pesticides are used. No added growth hormones. Horizon cows are never treated with growth hormones. Instead, they produce milk according to their natural cycles. No GMOs or cloning. Organic regulations prohibit the use of genetic modification, which means you can be sure that their products are produced without genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Milk from cloned cows is also prohibited. No antibiotics. If a cow becomes ill, organic farmers rely on holistic and homeopathic treatments, rather than antibiotics, to bring her back to health. In fact, organic regulations strictly prohibit the use of antibiotics on dairy cows. Healthy Planet Growing food organically helps nurture the environment by eliminating the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, chemical fertilizers and other pollutants, while encouraging sustainable farming practices that contribute to the health of the land. Happy Cows Compassionate animal care is one of the key principles of their organic dairy farming practices. The farmers that produce Horizon milk keep their cows healthy the organic way with attentive daily care, fresh air and a wholesome organic diet. They believe organic dairy cattle should be outside as often as possible, year-round, to graze, exercise, socialize and interact with the land. No wonder organic cows are happy cows! Calcium Smile! Strong bones and a healthy grin - people all need calcium. And did you know it's an especially vital nutrient for children? In addition to using calcium to build bones, kids' bodies require calcium to help maintain proper muscle, blood vessel and nerve cell function. Studies suggest that consuming adequate calcium early in life - when bone mass and density are being developed - may help protect against osteoporosis down the road. An estimated 55% of men and 78% of women aged 20 years or older aren't meeting their calcium recommendations. Protein Providing get-up-and-go and helping us grow are just two of protein's many benefits. Protein is essential for optimal growth in children. The dairy protein in Horizon products is a complete protein, providing all of the essential amino acids needed to support optimal health. Peopl's bodies need protein to build and repair tissues, including the muscles. Protein has been studied for promoting a feeling of satiety, which may help to discourage overeating. Vitamin D Milk is one of the few dietary sources of vitamin D - a critical nutrient that helps our bodies absorb calcium. The American Academy of Pediatrics recently doubled its recommended daily intake of vitamin D from 200 IU to 400 IU for all infants, children and adolescents. Men and women over the age of 20 get only about 30% of the vitamin D they need each day. Probiotics Gut check. These friendly little bacteria help people's bodies maintain a healthy digestive tract. "Cultured" dairy products like Horizon organic yogurt and cottage cheese are a source of probiotics, also known as live and active cultures. Horizon Organic Milk with DHA A great choice for your growing family. At Horizon, they believe one of the best ways they can nurture healthy families is to provide their organic milk with DHA - a valuable nutrient that helps support the brain, heart and eyes.1 What is DHA? DHA is one of the "healthy fats" you've heard about, known as Omega-3's. It's a major structural fat in the brain and retina, accounting for up to 97% of the omega-3 fats in the brain and up to 93% of the omega-3 fats in the retina.2 DHA is important for supporting brain, heart and eye health at all ages. Dr. Alan Greene, Horizon's consulting pediatrician,* confirms that most American kids don't get the optimal amount of DHA. Children aged 2-5 average about 20 mg of DHA a day compared to the recommended 70-90 mg. While other DHA-fortified milks rely on the addition of fish oil, Horizon uses pure, plant-based DHA made without the use of hexane. Because their DHA is plant-based, you can be sure your milk has the same delicious taste you expect from Horizon. The Top 5 Things You Should Know About Horizon DHA: It's Safe DHA has been used in foods in Europe since 1993, and in the U.S. since 2002. It's an ingredient in nearly 100% of infant formulas and in 500 food and supplement products around the world. In fact, more than 64 million infants worldwide have been fed formula with DHA! The specific DHA used in Horizon products, life'sDHA from Martek, has been safety-approved by the FDA for nearly a decade. It's Effective A growing body of scientific research suggests that DHA helps support brain, heart and eye health throughout life, including in young children. But children ages one to five typically don't get much DHA, possibly because the main dietary sources of this nutrient are fatty fish and organ meats (not so popular with kids!)4. That's why choosing DHA-supplemented foods, especially everyday staples like milk, really matters. It's Approved for Use in Organic Foods Like all Horizon products, their milk with DHA meets the high standards of the U.S. National Organic Program. The specific DHA used in their products (life'sDHA from Martek) is explicitly approved for use in organic foods. To learn more about DHA and the Organic Standards, check out their DHA Facts. It's Sustainable, Non-GMO and Made without Hexane Their plant-based DHA is more sustainable than fish-based DHA because it's made from a renewable algae resource, and does not contribute to over-fishing. And like all ingredients used in organic foods, their DHA is non-GMO. In addition, the DHA used in Horizon products neither contains nor is made with hexane, a chemical solvent sometimes used to extract oils from their original source. It's Trusted by Parents Since its introduction in 2007, their DHA-fortified organic milk has consistently ranked among their most popular products. Today, it's welcomed in over three million households all over the country. And it's no wonder; wholesome, delicious organic milk with DHA is one of the easiest ways to get more of this important nutrient into your family's everyday diet. Horizon Organic's Story Horizon Past, Present and Future. More than 20 years ago, their founders helped pioneer the organic dairy movement and became the first company to supply organic milk nationwide. They realized early on the responsibility that comes with being an organic milk producer, and their commitment to organic values like health, community and environmental stewardship has never wavered. Of course they've grown up over the years, but some things haven't changed a bit. They began with a group of small organic family farms, and family farming remains at the heart of Horizon. Today, as America's #1 organic milk brand, they partner with more than 600 certified organic family farms across the country. They continue to lead the organic industry, helping set standards for best practices in responsible, sustainable farming. Because they've got roots decades deep in organic, keeping an eye on a sustainable future comes naturally for us. Together with their parent company, WhiteWave Foods, they're more committed than ever to supporting healthy families and communities today, and a healthy planet for all of us tomorrow. Their Promise At Horizon, they care about healthy families because they're parents, too. So they promise to bring you wholesome, nourishing organic foods that they'd proudly serve on their own tables. They promise to make those products using standards and values they can all feel good about: They make their delicious organic products without GMOs, artificial colors or flavors or high fructose corn syrup. They celebrate and champion the organic family farmers who supply their great-tasting milk. They make their products with consideration for their planet and the communities in which they live and do business. As organic pioneers, they provide industry leadership and invite more and more families each day to join the organic movement.

Starting Solids: The Dos and Don'ts
Sooner or later, your little one will move past breast milk or formula and start eating "people" food. Wondering when to start with solids? Here are some of the basic dos and don'ts. (Of course, you should always talk to your pediatrician first if you have any concerns.)
DO: Wait to introduce solid food until six months. Any earlier and your baby's system may not be able to digest it; wait too long and you may miss a crucial window of opportunity and interest.
DON'T: Add rice cereal to your baby's bottle. Thickening the milk or formula can make it easier for little ones to gag or choke.
DO: Introduce one food at a time. Wait two or three days between introducing new foods to help pinpoint possible allergic reactions such as rashes or digestive problems.
DON'T: Give your baby regular cow's milk or honey before her first birthday. Honey may contain spores that can cause botulism in babies and cow's milk does not provide the necessary nutrition for your baby.
DO: Keep trying with foods your baby doesn't love at first taste. It might take a few tries before she learns to love pureed carrots. If she turns up her nose the first (or second, or third) time, keep on trying -- it can take up to 10 attempts for babies to welcome a new food. Wait a few days, then try again, or mix the new food with another you know she enjoys.
DON'T: Worry about offering fruit before vegetables. Conventional wisdom has long held that babies who start with sweet fruits will automatically reject vegetables because they won't find them as tasty -- turns out it's not true.
DO: Introduce pureed meat earlier than you planned. There's no reason not to introduce meats; in fact, babies who start eating meat get more zinc and iron, both important for growth.

I hope you'll pardon my use of this space to tell you about someone you've probably never heard of. Then again, I do think it relates.
If you happen to think I have any merit at what I do writing about sports, then I ask that you thank Mark Leary, my first sports editor "who died last night of cancer":http://www.thejournalnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061121/SPORTS01/611210365/1034/SPORTS.
I'm not sure where I fit in in the grand hierarchy of sports journalists, but I think for the most part I'm doing OK. And that's because of Mark. He hired me from a part-time position at The Journal News back in the days when part-time reporters simply didn't get hired full-time; and later he promoted me to national golf writer, sending me to places like Augusta, Ga. and Scotland, and actually paying me to be there.
By the time I took over the Rangers beat, Mark had already taken leave because of the cancer that had come out of remission in 2005, but he always knew what the game meant to be. A running joke between us was the number of bangs and bruises I walked into the office with because of my own late-night hockey games.
I've never known a better motivator, and Mark did it in two ways: he believed in me. And he scared the crap out of me.
He was a tough editor, but he was also brilliant, and unpredictably kind. When my wife and I were expecting our little boy, there was a chance the birth was going to conflict with the U.S. Open at Pinehurst. I wanted to talk about contingency plans, but Mark would have no part of the conversation. "There's no way you're missing that," he said. "You're staying home."
I made sure to bring pictures of little Charlie when I, along with our Yankees writer Peter Abraham, visited Mark's hospital bed last week. Mark smiled at the photos and pulled them closer to his eyes.
My little boy has a house, a yard, even a couple of hockey sticks now that we bang around in the driveway. I'm one of the lucky ones in life who can pay for all that stuff thanks to a job that I absolutely love.
Without Mark Leary, I'm not sure I'd be able to say that. And I know for sure that I wouldn't be able to do that job nearly as well.

Sliema : Malta's Busiest Holiday Resort
Off to Malta this year? Why not stay in Sliema
Sliema may have a fishing village history, but its been one of Malta's most visited holiday spots for several decades. One nice aspect of staying in Sliema for a holiday is its close proximity to Malta's international airport. Pick your bags up after the plane's landed and you'll be in your hotel before you've had a chance to say – I'm Off to Malta for my holiday!
Sliema is a holiday resort which has grown around its native buildings and into a very, popular European vacation destination. Sliema, unlike much of Malta, isn't really about history, it's more about holidays. Though the Knights Templers of the Order of St John still left their mark on this coastal resort in the shape of a tall watch tower overlooking the sea.
Hotels in Sliema
Hotels and apartments in Malta's holiday resort of Sliema are everywhere, but the Tower Road or Triq it Torri, is lined with them and they're all facing right onto the sea. If the holiday spending budget allows for extravagances the Palace Hotel is a perfectly situated, deluxe five star with its own roof top swimming pool. If not, then go for a three star such as the The New Tower Palace Hotel or the Imperial Hotel with its Victorian décor which will just about fit the bill.
Sliema's Beach and Sea Front
There's not a beach in Sliema, but there are some natural sea pools along the coastline for swimming and it's a perfect place for basking. A good tip would be take along some of those cheap plastic beach shoes for getting in and out as the rocks, even though there are hand rails to hold, are covered in algae and they'll help prevent slipping.
Strolling in Sliema is one way of keeping fit on your holiday in Malta and the beautiful sea-front promenade is ideal for this sedate activity. The flat, wide paving stretches for miles, or five kilometres to be precise, and is on a level so it won't tax even the most unfit. Or, if the night before was spent partying round in Paceville, it's a good way of walking off the after effects. Sliema's promenade is popular with the local residents too, so mingle with the crowd and get a real taste of what being Maltese is all about.
Shopping and Eating Out in Sliema
Thinking of going shopping or eating out in Sliema? Then it has to be done on Tower Road. It's an unequalled stretch of commercialization crammed packed full of just about everything you could wish to spend your money on. Restaurant wise there are too many to name individually, but for some good and local style Maltese food, which has that undeniable Mediterranean, flavour try the Le Malte and you won't be disappointed. For more regular international food, you won't go far wrong by popping into The Kitchen, also on Tower Road, for your dinner.
There's are every type of shopping facilities in Sliema, so you won't need to look far for that special souvenir to take home or to find that unexpected holiday bargain. If there's not enough to satisfy your shopping needs don't worry, Valetta, Malta's capital city, is just around the corner or better said, just across the water if you catch the local ferry service from the harbour.

First of all, I want to address what happened to Pia last week. My therapist says it's best for me to talk about it. I can't believe she was voted off. I think it was a huge mistake. The good news is that I know she will go on to have a fantastic music career. I'm looking forward to buying her album.
Now let's talk about the top 8. The theme was "Songs from the Movies." I liked a lot of the song choices, but I was surprised that no one sang anything from the soundtrack to "Finding Nemo." Or "If These Walls Could Talk 2," or "Mr. Wrong," all of which are currently available on Amazon.com.
Casey sang Nature Boy, and I've heard a lot of conflicting opinions about it. I read somewhere that the Most Beautiful Woman in the World liked it. It's true. I do. But I honestly don't remember giving that interview.
Every week, somebody surprises me. This week it was Jacob and Stefano. They were wonderful. Last week it was Dionne Warwick.
It's still anybody's game. Last night I was voting with both hands. Not my actual hands, hired hands. I asked them to vote when they finished re-grouting my tub.

Scott Walker Doesn't Want You to Vote
Posted on Apr 2, 2014
Square, Story page, 2nd paragraph, mobile
Legislative actions, written by the corporate-funded American Legislative Exchange Council, are intended to hamper African-American and Latino voting. Legislators have all but said that they can still smell the Rio Grande on new voters. But they "cry wolf" and have created a public understanding that in no way reflects reality. As is well known by those who've bothered to investigate, voting restrictions are the true fraud.
The disputed Bush-Gore election of 2000 galvanized Republicans, keenly aware how America's unfolding demographics threatened to make them a permanent minority national party, overwhelmed by emergent, enlarging blocs of ethnic voters long antagonized by the GOP. Since then, we have been victimized by carefully calibrated public relations campaigns alleging that loyal, upstanding, law-abiding Americans are being negated by voter corruption. It is not true.
Make no mistake: This is a Republican, corporate-funded effort to exclude American citizens from the voting process. Fifty years ago, we battled to expand the American electorate to include those deliberately excluded; today's battles are intended to reverse that achievement. Richard Nixon, a man with sharp political antennae, enthusiastically endorsed voting by 18-year-olds, seeing the potential for Republican support. It may be hard to believe, but Nixon once was a young man very much attracted to the then-progressive wing of the Republican Party. His insight proved prophetic when young voters flocked to Ronald Reagan.

Most recently, presidential wannabe Walker announced that he and his dutiful Republican legislative majority will act by the next election—meaning his own. He calls voter ID the most "pressing" election issue in Wisconsin, and he wants the "proper requirements in place" before November. In the meantime, he promised to monitor pending cases in state and federal courts to determine whether legislation was needed to "address any concerns" that the courts might have. More than concerns, Walker and his allies indicated that the legislature would override any adverse court decision against the restrictions.
The assault against voting rights comes in various forms. For now, Walker is pleased that the legislature restricted early and absentee balloting after 7 p.m. or on weekends. The legislature certainly is creative with its rationalizations. One senator contended that rural election clerks lacked staff for too many hours of early voting, thus giving an advantage to large municipalities. "We are not restricting anyone's voting," he contended, cynically disregarding the comparative sizes of cities. But the real question is why the state has an interest in denying access to voting other than to disenfranchise some people.
ALEC, heavily funded by the Koch brothers and like-minded conservative allies, has designed legislation to restrict voting, and circulated its draft bills around the nation, which its members, essentially well-financed Republican state legislators, eagerly adopt as their own. Republicans are blatantly trying to limit the electorate and rig elections. They have actively, enthusiastically launched the fray with an unrestrained prattle of fraud.
Paul Weyrich, a leader of numerous conservative causes and a founder of ALEC, minced no words more than 30 years ago: "I don't want everybody to vote. Elections are not won by a majority of people. They never have been from the beginning of our country, and they are not now. As a matter of fact our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down."
Weyrich and his clients would not rely on voter apathy, indifference or ignorance to ensure low turnout. Enter the handle of "voter fraud" to justify legislation to prevent the "unwashed" from voting. Ideologically driven mandates have little affinity for the truth. Voter ID laws are reminiscent of legislation enacted in the late 19th century by elites increasingly concerned by the emergence of new voters. Read working-class immigrants from Eastern or Southern Europe, different in language, religion and class from most Americans. At the same time, Southern states enacted Jim Crow laws that denied suffrage to former slaves, who, under the terms of the 14th Amendment, nevertheless were citizens of the United States. The nation remained largely white, rural and Protestant for another half century.
The 1960s witnessed a surge of new laws expanding access to suffrage. After a century of neglect, the 1965 Voting Rights Act fulfilled the promise of the "right to vote" in the Reconstruction Era's 15th Amendment. Registration laws restricting voting fell by the wayside. Many states allowed registration on Election Day, and 18-year-olds secured the right to vote with the passage of the 26th Amendment. Consensus came easily as the ratification process required less than four months.

About Blue Cohosh: Blue Cohosh flourishes in the rich, moist woodland areas. The name �Cohosh� is derived from the Algonquin term for this plant, which many Native American tribes used for medicinal purposes. Its thick root was considered especially helpful for women, though it has proven extremely dangerous in pregnancy and is no longer commonly used internally. Its bright blue berries make this plant useful for ornamental purposes.
Blue Cohosh Germination: This seed germinates very slowly and irregularly. For best results, pour very hot water over the seeds and soak them overnight; this softens the hard seed coat for faster germination. Next, mix the seeds with moist sand and store it in the refrigerator for 60 days before planting. Plant the seed just below the surface of the soil in fall or spring. The seeds may not germinate for several seasons, since they must experience repeated cycles of warm and cold weather to break their dormancy. This plant prefers rich, moist woodland soil.
Growing Blue Cohosh Seeds: Keep the soil consistently moist, not allowing it to dry out. This plant may not flower until its third or fourth year of growth. Mature plants will slowly spread by rhizomes, eventually forming a group of plants if growing conditions are favorable. This plant resists deer.
Harvesting Blue Cohosh: Blue Cohosh contains chemicals that can be harmful and irritating; the berries are especially toxic. Though this plant has historically been used for medicinal purposes, this practice is no longer regarded as safe because of the plant's toxicity.
Saving Blue Cohosh Seeds: The berries, which contain the seeds, can be harvested at any time after they turn blue; this usually occurs in the fall. Strip the berries from the stalk; keep in mind that they are toxic. Smash the berries or place them in a food processor for a minute, to remove the fleshy part of the berry from the seed; the seeds will be protected by their hard outer coating. Rinse the material to clean and separate the seeds from the pulp. Since fresh seed has the best germination rate, either sow immediately or store in the refrigerator until planting.
Detailed Blue Cohosh Info: Origin: US Native Other Common Names: Papoose Root, Squaw Root Duration: Perennial Bloom Time: Early Summer Height: 18-24 inches Spacing: 12-15 feet Light: Full Sun to Part Shade Soil Moisture: Medium USDA Zone: 4a-7b Seeds Per Oz: 100 Produces divided leaflets with rounded lobes, a flat cluster of greenish yellow flowers, and blue berry-like seeds.
