The spokesman of the Archdiocese of Mexico City, Fr. Hugo Valdemar, is urging Mexicans to abandon the practice of venerating St. Death.
The priest noted that the belief in St. Death – represented by a skeleton holding a scythe - is contrary to Christianity. He added that its veneration has become a favorite ritual among those involved in organized crime.
Fr. Valdemar spoke to CNA on Jan. 6 about the recent arrest of David Romo, the leader of the St. Death cult. The archdiocesan spokesman emphasized that the judicial process needs to determine whether Romo is guilty or innocent, and urged Mexicans to refrain from judgment. "It would be unjust as well for us to declare him guilty before a trial has taken place," he cautioned.
Romo, was detained on Jan. 4 with eight others in Mexico City for allegedly kidnapping an elderly couple and another man. According to police, they pretended to be part of the drug cartel Los Zetas to scare the victims' families into paying ransom.
Fr. Valdemar urged the some 3,000 followers of St. Death to abandon the cult, which he said is "superstitious and has diabolical connotations." The promoters of the devotion are profiting from the ignorance of the people, he underscored, and it has become "the favorite devotion of organized crime, drug cartels and kidnappers."
Christ came to overcome sin and death, "the signs of the power of evil and its destruction," Fr. Valdemar continued. The sect's leader "himself personalizes the devil, which is very dangerous," he said.
The archdiocesan spokesman explained many people have fallen into the practice because of the Church's lack of commitment to evangelization. Many of those who believe in St. Death think she is just another saint, "when the truth is she doesn't even exist."
He urged Mexicans to destroy any images of St. Death they possess and not to fear any vengeance, because "the power of God is greater than evil."

This class is here to support you and your baby in your postnatal period. From six weeks postnatal (if you feel ready!) to approximately 7 months. See Older Babies Yoga for older ones!
If you have had a caesarean birth or other intervention during the birth it is important that you go at the right pace for you, healing from the inside out and I can facilitate that. Sometimes what is needed most is to relax with others who understand the demands of motherhood.
I went to mother and baby yoga classes with my daughters and enjoyed finding space to exercise safely following the birth, integrating my baby into the yoga practice.
With a new baby you can feel that you never have enough time. Mother and Baby Yoga is a chance to focus on your developing relationship and enjoy this time that, in retrospect, passes so quickly. The yoga practice for mum shows you how to effectively and correctly strengthen your pelvic and abdominal muscles, release tight shoulders and neck from holding and feeding your baby, and to relax (useful when you're sleep deprived!). The yoga practice for baby includes massage, playful stretches and singing to stimulate your baby's development on every level.

Over the weekend, Warner Bros.' "The Hangover Part II" grew its worldwide box office total to $488.7 million -- surpassing the $467.5 million earned by the original film to become the biggest R-rated comedy of all time.
The big surprise is the film's international performance.
Through Sunday, "Hangover II"'s international gross was $256 million, while it has earned $232.7 million so far in North America.
Internationally, the biggest territories include the U.K. ($48 million), Germany ($31.5 million) and Australia ($30.4 million).
The first "Hangover" grossed $190.2 million internationally, and $277.3 million domestically.
"Hangover II" is by no means close to being finished, and still has Spain and Japan yet to open. And domestically, it's still high up on the top 10 chart, coming in No. 5 over Father's Day weekend.

Espn's insider say's micheal finley could be goin to NY. Does anyone know more about this?
Espn's insider say's micheal finley could be goin to NY. Does anyone know more about this?
can't say i do, but i must say, i don't like Finley, and I'm sure too on Larry Brown's attitude towards him, or how it would work out if there is none, but based on his game, i don't think he'd be too partial to him either (but than again I could be wrong or the fact I don't like him changes my thoughs, lol)....
Before Mr. Tayor taught the world to play
Before fiber glass, before parque
Before the world Doctor was spelled with a "J"
And ballrooms were ball courts where the renissance played
Before hype and before the dunk
After the rythm but before the funk
It was only a ball, and the soul of the game
Bleed oRaNgE & bLuE, the only way to bleed
wut would be the point of that.....we have enuff guards
It would be so dumb to trade for Finley, or Antoine Walker for that matter. Isiah sees these Chicago boys favorably, but I trust Larry will stop him from such a mistake.
desde la cuna del chango
to me gettin finley would be great to me.......first of all we will not be soft with a line up of stephon,Quentin, finley,frye and james.....finley a better rebounder than tim thomas, alan houston and crawford....i would really like the decision but this to happen crawford has to go....get a presence better than sweetney
This is why I didn't want Larry Brown to coach the knicks. He seemingly now wants to come in and change the dynamic of what could be a young spectacular group, to a group of older players with time running out on them. Ridiculous. If we get Finley, what happens to T-Risin (Ariza)? We would have to trade TT or Penny to bring in yet another guard. Why?? We should be getting all the young guys minutes. That why I feel Herb Williams or Nate McMillan would have been better. This is a young roster (finally) and they really need some interested in teaching them.
Finley is better than TT, but he's 32, and that would contradict the whole youth movement. I heard Brown was looking at Reggie Evans, he's short for a PF but he's physical and lead the league in rebounds per game. I've seen him play, he would make us tougher. I would not go crazy if Finley were on the squad though, but I would not trade anyone for him and take his huge contract. Hope LB leaves the kids alone.
Everybody's an expert
on what everybody else
should be doing
How this trade works is that Finley (3 years left) would be traded for either Penny or TT at the start of the season... it would help the Mavericks in terms of cap relief and not having to lose him with no return with the new amnesty rule... LB and Isaih like Finley... Mavs also don't want Finley going to a Western Conference team
i dont think wed sign him unless its after hes cut. he doesnt play much d and jacks shots...i doubt larry likes him. or twoine for that matter.
Peter the Russian...back like cooked crack
hey hey hey smoke weed every day
Finley's contract is huge! Dallas might be able to get someone better than Penny or TT for him, though.
If we keep Penny and TT we stand to relieve ourselves of 30 million in bad contracts. that seems more worthwhile than taking back 52 Million in bad contract. By my math, that leaves 22 Million deeper in debt, plus we add another oft injured guard to the backcourt.
Dr. Carpy, you hit the spot on why we shouldn't even consider trading for Finley. However, I don't think this is Brown's idea, probably not even Isiah's, just further speculation from ESPN Insider Chad Fraud..
Nevertheless, Knicks need a list of all players from Chicago and any player that has some connection to Isiah from his days with Bobby Knight, Detroit, Toronto or Indiana. Then, he should be required to let Larry Brown have the final say on these trades because Isiah views these favorably rather than objectively.
Finley's aging game is not worth losing an expiring deal and much less taking on two more years @ $15 million. I wouldn't even take him if he were waived unless Jamal is traded and Nate still gets his minutes. Same goes for Antoine Walker.
I would agree to a finley for H20 trade.
Mavs Benefit:
No team in their right mind is going to trade for his 3 yr $51mil contract and Dallas knows this. Come Aug 15th, they will have to cut him and continue to pay him while he signs as a FA for Phx and comes back to haunt them.
If the trade for H20, they will cut him and only have to pay $40mil over 2 seasons instead of $51 over 3.
Trading Finley to NY ensures that he is dealt to an Eastern conference team who is miles away from their division.
Knicks benefit:
The knicks are going to cut H20. $40 mil in luxury is not no pocket change.
So if they are gonna cut him, he stated that he would go to either Miami or NJ, and the knicks still pay him $40 mil over 2 years.
At least by getting Finley, he can still play. So the knicks end up paying $11mil extra over 3 years for a good replacement for H20 who can actually contribute, instead of being hurt all the time.
Also, we send H20 to the west, so if he does regain his old form, he will not come back to haunt us by winning with some eastern conference team.
Where there is hope, there can be faith
Where there is faith, miracles can occur
Finley is the best move for the knicks yet. He plays a game the current knicks roster is unfamilure with... DEFENCE!!!!! I think Finley is a Larry Brown kind of player. And any one that thinks theese new kids need lots of minutes is sadly mistaken. Rookies are notorious for scewing up! The best players will always, always be the most experienced players. Getting young and athletic is great but every team needs a leader. Youths need direction. Finley can bring defence and leadership.
Also some one said something about Larry Brown shouldn't coach the knicks! Look I know every one is entitled to their oppinoin but that one is just stupid! I wont even take the time to explain why it's stupit. Just trust me on it!
The Mavs are only looking at deals that will give them a viable option other than just merely cutting him and then allowing him to sign with any other team. They wouldn't just trade Finley for Houston b/c it wouldn't help their cap or tax at all. The RUMOR is Finley for an expiring contract.
If the Knicks participate in this trade that would be the stupidest move I have ever seen any team do. The whole point of cutting Houston is to get the $20MM tax break for the next two years. We would still be on the hook for his salary for this year and next year. Adding Finley via trade would put us in an even worse cap and tax situation for next year and the year after that.
We should just let the contracts of TT or Hardaway expire. Isn't the whole point to gain as much cap space as possible for the summer of '07 to make a serious run at LeBron who will be a Restricted FA that summer and has a kicker in his contract with Nike if he were to play in NY! The possibilities are endless but b/c this is NY there's always added pressure to make things happen. Who knows, KG may even be had if Minny can't right their ship into a true playoff team.

Wealth Princess can head to the 2013 Brisbane Winter Racing Carnival with momentum on her side if she can repeat her 2012 performance in today's 2013 Wangoom Handicap (1200m) at Warrnambool.
The seven-year-old was beaten narrowly in the Warrnambool feature sprint last year and is rated a $4.60 chance to go one better in 2013.
The horse who beat her in what was her first race in nearly two years, Second Effort, also returns but some poor autumn form and the topweight of 58.5kg have him paying $13.
Wealth Princess trainer Darren Weir admits his charge isn't "going as good as last year" and is slightly concerned about a tricky barrier 19 draw.
But Weir said it is important she has a run before heading to Brisbane, a place where she has found success in the past.
Last year the daugther of San Luis won the Group 3 Glenlogan Park Stakes before finishing sixth on a heavy track in the Group 2 Dane Ripper Stakes.
Wealth Princess was last seen on June 9 when she beat just one horse home in the Stradbroke Handicap.
Despite being seven years old, the quality sprinter has raced just 15 times, recording seven wins and five minor placings.
She missed the back half of 2010 and all of 2011 with a tendon problem but also won the Glenlogan Park Stakes in 2010 and finished a close second in the Group 1 Winter Stakes.
It is likely Wealth Princess will be set down a similar path this winter, tackling the top fillies and mares races in Brisbane.
Favourite in the Wangoom Handicap today is That's The One ($4) who is coming off a first-up second in the Yarraville Handicap at Flemington.

Strengths - The Lady Olympians return a slew of girls with varsity playing experience as well as a couple of players who missed last season due to injury. Look for Millard, Gibson, and Mason to lead them to an improved season.
Weaknesses - Although there is a light at the end of the tunnel, the Lady Olympians must find confidence in themselves each game.

Others to watch - Krysten Breiner (So.), Julianna Evans (So.), Katlin Green (So.), Emily Kollar (So.)
Strengths - A good core of girls return, led by Snyder and Bretz that will make them competitive in the MVC.
Weaknesses - We lost a lot through graduation and others who decided not to come out. And now we are filling those spots with talented by inexperienced players.
Quotable - "We are fortunate to have a bunch of great girls playing for this team (Varsity and JV). Until we jell, we may start slow, but I expect to finish strong." - Coach Weaver

Strengths - The cupboard is far from bare. The Fillies have a solid softball IQ and a solid work ethic to keep them competitive
Weaknesses - Losing three-year starting pitcher in McConville is big and there are some key positions that will be filled with inexperience.
Quotable - "I'm excited to coach the sport of fastpitch softball that I played for many years and the girls that I teach or have taught in the classroom." - Coach DeAngelo
Head Coach: Brian Schell
Varsity Assistant Coaches - Robert Hicks, Nicky Chirico, Gary Warmkessel, Jon Defrain, Missy Defrain

Strengths - Wagaman is a returning senior starting pitcher with the most experience but they have three other pitchers that could vy for a two-pitcher rotation. They worked hard through summer and fall leagues and hit the weights looking to build on their success of last season.
Weaknesses - The weakness for the Lady Bulldogs may be the strength of schedule. League champ Palisades returns with their ace on the mound and the host of teams that are always strong has expanded to include teams that are vastly improving.
Quotable - "We will play hard every game and we do have goals we are striving for and these girls will work hard to achieve them. If we can create some luck and get some breaks we certainly have a chance to reach those goals." - Coach Schell
Head Coach - Jen Horner

Others to watch: Jess Dietrich (Jr., OF), Brook Heller (So., OF), Ashley Gimbel (Sr., OF), Steph Hepler (Sr., OF)
Strengths: After some growing pains last season the Lady Tigers are looking to climb back to the top of the league. Returning behind the plate Jackie Wear and her strong defensive skills and big bat should provide the catalyst for the rest of the team that also returns a strong core of experienced infielders.
Weaknesses: There will be a need improve offensively as a team to get the job done and win some games. Without the runs, the mistakes the team still makes on routine plays may be the 'deal breaker' in the game.
Quotable: "The girls are very enthusiastic to play and you can see that on and off the field when they are all communicating together. I see a higher level of focus and confidence this year so I am anxious to see how it all plays out." - Coach Horner
Head coach - Glenn Reimer
Assistant coaches - Jerry Kossyk, John Herring, Scott Adcox, Scott Levandusky
Last year's record - 1-19
League - Colonial League

Others to watch - Vicki Graver (Sr., IF), Amber Hettler (Jr., LF), Joelle Reinhart (Fr., C), Sara Lucykanish (Fr., OF), Sierra Miller (Sr., 1B)
Strengths - The Bombers return its entire varsity team from last season less Gina Farquhar who is out with an injury. They have good team leadership and unity. They have worked real hard in the off season with every starting player playing on a travel team in the summer and fall. Doing this has given the girls a good step in the right direction for starting this season.
Weaknesses - Reimer still has a fairly young team. It did not know how to put away a win last season when it was leading nine games going into the fifth inning. This must change. Hopefully with the additional playing experience the girls have accumulated it will.
Quotable - "Last season we went out to gain respect within our league and at least be competitive. I believe we accomplished that. This year we are going to go out and try to maintain our respect and gain some victory's. If we play as a team and keep ourselves mentally strong, I think we can definitely surprise some people this season." - Coach Reimer
Head Coach: James Gilbert
Assistant Coaches: Jill Zwiesdak, John Gates
Last Years Record: 2-20
League: Schuylkill League
District 11 Classification: AA
Key Losses: Carly Knepper, Alyssa Barnovich

Others to Watch: Ashtin Walck (Jr., 1B), Krista Knepper (Jr., 3B/2B); Ellen Kraycir(Jr., 1B/OF), Georgiana Butler (So., OF), Amber Woodring (So., 1B), Stephanie Mills (So., Ut), Kristyn Gates (Fr., SS,2B), Samantha Zlock (Fr., SS, OF)
Strengths: There will be great team leadership by the returning starters and a group of talented newcomers should keep them in the Schuylkill League hunt.
Weaknesses: With only four returning starters, some of the underclassmen will be forced to step up early. FIve starters will have little playting time under their belts.
Quotable - "We are going to be a lot more competitive. The talent is there. It's how well they work together that will make the difference." - Coach Gilbert
Head coach - Steve Caffrey
Assistant coaches - Dan Beck, Steve Borger
Last year's record -18-4
League -Mountain Valley Conference
District 11 classification - AAAA
Key losses - 3B/C Nikki Boccia, OF Jenn Denaro, P/INF Danielle Kitchen, INF/P Erin Labar, SS Kristin Sherer, 2B Ashlee Smith, OF Ashley Venturino
Key returnees - Jordan Borger (Sr., C); Felicia Domenici ((Jr., OF); Meagan Fitzgerald (Sr., OF/P/INF); Megan Hardy, (Jr., INF/P); Kasey Meckes, (Jr., OF)

Strengths - This year's team returns many players that were able to get plenty of playing time last year. That experience should put them in the hunt at top of MVC standings.
Weaknesses - Hit by a large graduating class, the team will be youthful and look to that youth to step up as the season progresses.
Quotable - "If we execute the fundamentals, and believe in our ability we will be fine." - Coach Caffrey
Head coach - Amanda Luna
Assistant coaches - Jillian Knoblauch, Linn Deiter, Abbey Graver
Last year's record - 13-8
League - Schuylkill
District 11 classification - AA

Key returnees - Allie Sotak (Jr., P), Jordan Nowacki (Jr., 1B), Lauren Mateyak (Jr.), Chey Bates (So.); Sarah Zehner (Sr., OF), Megan Amey (Sr., OF)
Others to watch - Brianna Boyle (So.), Kelsey Burkett (Jr.), Emily Zancofsky (So.)
Strengths - There is an experienced pitcher returning the 3-4-5 hitters are back. That leadership should spread to the rest of the team.
Weaknesses - They are young with some inexperienced players and players in new positions. Defense may be an issue until they mesh together.
Quotable - "Our goal is always to be competitive with everyteam in our league. I do think with the girls that are stepping in, we have the talent to be successful." - Coach Luna
Head coach - Margaret Brown
Assistant coaches - Lori DeMoor

Others to watch - Jamie Dougherty (So., P); Sara Heister (Fr.); Erin Dougherty (Fr.)
Strengths - Brown has more experience then usual. Returner players are strong defensively that should put Weatherly in the hunt for the post season.
Weaknesses - The team must improve their at-bats and be aggressive at the plate.
Quotable - "This is a determined and dedicated group of young ladies. They work hard and are in pursuit of a return to playoff action." - Coach Brown

The Braven 855s is pretty good for barbecues, or what some folks call "grills." How do I know? I tried it last night. And even when I spilled cow's blood on my un-dyed leather loafers, the music kept on going. And it sounds pretty good too.
The Braven 855s is the ruggedized version of the 850, and matches it for many specs. It's a 20-watt battery-powered Bluetooth speaker which is "IPX3 water resistant." This means that you can splash it an take it to the beach, but you probably don't want to actually take it into the water.
Like all Braven speakers, you can use the big battery to charge your phone via the full-sized USB port, and you can also use it as a speakerphone for poolside teleconferencing. It also has a full complement of play/pause and volume buttons on the top, and the necessary ports are hidden behind a rubberized, watertight flap.
I'll be putting in a proper review in the next week or two, after I take it for a proper spin. My first impressions are that this sounds good, but you need to crank it: the sound is a little muddled at low volumes. If you plan to do most of your listening at these lower levels, you should consider something like the truly excellent 650.
The 855s is available now for $300.

Creating a vegetable garden
Thursday, August 26, 2010; 12:00 PM
Washington Post gardening columnist Adrian Higgins was online Thursday, August 26, at Noon ET to talk about creating a functional, attractive vegetable garden.
State College, Pa.: Adrian, so glad to see your chat -- and tweets! I also love the "Groundworks" blogs you are writing...(obviously, I'm a fan!)
I'm intrigued by your article(s) today, and immediately I began thinking about how I could convert my non-raised bed, fenced- in garden (30x15?) to a garden such as your article discusses. But, I'm stumped on how even to begin. Where would one begin? As an aside, in my garden area I do have a cold frame as well as a raised bed that holds strawberries (they're taking over the garden-a great problem to have!).
Thanks for any insights! (And, any chance to see an actual photo of the garden mentioned in the article?) Keep up the great work!
Adrian Higgins: I'm honored. First let me try and get this link in. It's an archived story I did on the Moitrier's garden. Pierre is amazing at crafting structures. http:/
Now, as for your own garden. I would first sit down with graph paper and figure out a layout for the garden, incorporating the points and elements I discuss in today's Local Living. Then you set about leveling the ground, skimming turf and weeds, and then building the frames that will be the raised beds between the paths. Once they are in place, you can start to work the soil, using a sturdy garden fork to break up what you have and add all that good stuff that will build the soil. My advice is not to set unrealistic deadlines (I speak from experience)but to work a little each weekend until it is done. You might order now some seeds of winter rye or red clover as a winter cover crop, which you would chop and dig in next February or March.
Berkeley, Calif.: Do you have a suggestion for a good beginner's resource for growing vegetables in the Bay Area of California? I have a little plot to work with, and don't really know where to start, when to start planting, etc. Thanks.
Adrian Higgins: Is this for real? I came from Berkeley yesterday. Does Chez Panisse and Alice Waters have demo gardens, I don't know. Another Bay Area resource is Ros Creasy. Her book, Edible Landscaping, is about to be republished by the Sierra Club.
Cleveland, Ohio: Is there a way to safely prevent spiders from forming their webs outside? My suburban tract house (i.e. not a cabin in the forest) has been covered with large, thick webs all summer on the front porch around the light, railing, corners, and the boxwoods near the door. I brush them away and they're back within a day or two. It only bothers me around the front door because I walk through it several times a day, so it's not like I'm trying to rid my whole property of spiders. Is there anything I can do to prevent them from forming these webs right where I want to walk? Thanks.
Adrian Higgins: Do you know how much work that spider has put into that? Enjoy it as one of nature's architectural/engineering wonders, not to mention mosquito trap without the chemicals.
Soil for vegetable gardening: I read the Post online from New England, so perhaps I missed something. But the articles on creating a vegetable garden did not address soil quality, and in particular the importance of testing your soil for lead and other contaminants. Contaminated soil will contaminate vegetables, reducing any health benefits from growing your own produce.
You can Google 'soil testing in (your state)' to find the office responsible, usually a state or county extension office. Then you collect soil and send it in for analysis. If there are problems you can either replace the soil or treat it to mitigate contaminants...the soil testing office can usually advice. The soil testing will also assess the PH level, and advice on what to add if it's off.
Note soil replacement can be the costliest part of creating a vegetable garden. And you will need to guard again future contamination, too. (Especially when painting your home, to avoid scraped lead paint from falling into your garden.)
This is an important aspect of gardening that is often overlooked. Thank you.
Adrian Higgins: Yes, if you are in a house that was built before 1978, you may have lead from lead paint. This is particularly so if your planned vegetable garden is near the house or outbuilding. City gardens also can contain lead from various sources. If that's the case, you should probably get soil tested for lead. The model I'm pushing involves raised beds in which you are bringing in a lot of fresh soil amendments. Lead is not really an issue in contemporary amendments. Soil can be expensive or not, depending on how instant you need it and whether you are composting material yourself. A light mulch of chopped leaves once or twice a year will soon build fabulous soil.
Eliminating lawns: I saw your last chat after it had ended, so wanted a chance to throw in my two cents on this. After years of living with a HUGE lawn (took an hour-plus to mow), we bought a house in a forest with NO lawn at all. The house was previously owned by a professor of horticulture, who had filled up the front with a berm, tons of plantings, and a brick patio. Our back yard is just forest. The whole thing is so easy--it's practically maintenance free and looks lovely. We were lucky in that we didn't have to create this ourselves, but I highly recommend going this route.
Adrian Higgins: A forest can be the most tranquil of all gardens, though it is not a place for raising vegetables.
Indianapolis, Ind.: Hello, Mr. Higgins! My family has lived on our property for 29 years and we have an old raised vegetable garden of 11 4' x 8' beds. The beds were constructed of old railroad ties, at least 15 years ago, some older than that. I have recently noticed that these old ties are now considered hazardous. Should we replace the ties or have they aged enough that they are no longer hazardous? Of course, we've eaten vegetables from these beds for a long time, so maybe the damage is already done! Would we have to replace the soil also if we replaced the ties? Thanks for your advice!
Adrian Higgins: I would replace them. The preservatives they used by force break down slowly, so there's still a risk I would think.
Brooklyn, N.Y.: What is your opinion on soaker hoses? My gardening mentor has been building and designing gardens for 25 years and he hates them. Said they were a waste of water and didn't work well. But I just read an article saying there are many benefits to them if used properly. What's your stance?
And thank you for doing these chats. Probably the most practical chat at the Post.
Adrian Higgins: Soaker hoses are sort of low tech drip irrigation. They can work ok if the hose doesn't have to travel far or uphill and doesn't get clogged with mulch and stuff. But all those things tend to happen. I have not had much luck with soaker hoses and abandoned them years ago.
WEEDS!!! So. Md.: I was so proud of myself -- spent all of last summer/fall digging beds and prepping the soil (tilled in garden soil/hummus/manure) so I could have beautiful gardens this year (veggies and flowers). The beds looked beautiful in the spring. Now it's a different story. In spite of my best efforts and weekend weeding extravaganzas, I simply cannot stay ahead of the weeds and grass coming up into the beds! Did I do something wrong in my prep work? I went on a two week vacation - the mess I returned to is just darn near unfixable. I'm quickly losing my desire to garden but I don't want that to happen. Can you offer some advice for both types of gardens and weed control? In particular, some of the perennials have grass coming up THROUGH them which makes it really hard to weed. I'd be eternally grateful (I'm sure neighbors feel same!) Best to you!
Adrian Higgins: Weeds are the test of the true gardener. The key is to be there on a regular basis and to remove weeds when they first sprout and definitely before they flower. There are two stages of weeding, the first being the initial annihilation of the weeds. Some people spray, some lay plastic for solarization, I have always simply dug them with a garden fork (tool theme emerging here). A site that hasn't been gardened for years will be full of weed seeds, and every time you disturb the soil, new weeds will sprout. It's imperative you stay on top of them. Rains will boost the weed production and work of the gardener. The second phase is maintenance, in which you regularly cultivate the soil and prevent weeds from growing or germinating. A light mulch will do wonders. For grass in perennials, you will have to lift the whole perennial and separate the grass from the clump. This is much easier and effective than trying to do it in situ.
State College, Pa.: ( Adrian Higgins says: "A forest can be the most tranquil of all gardens, though it is not a place for raising vegetables."
Indeed. I really miss my huge raspberry patch that I had in Illinois. We don't miss the mowing, though.
Adrian Higgins: All gardeners pine for other gardens. (Chinese proverb*)
* Actually Higgins
Richmond, Va.: Adrian, I bought some wonderful pea shoots at the farmers' market. Is that something I could grow in my back yard (or sprout in the kitchen window?)
Adrian Higgins: If they are actually English or garden peas, you could put them in pots now, build a little trellis and plant them out in a week or two for a fall crop. Worth a try.
My wife and I love Crepe Myrtles, particularly the Natchez variety (for its strength and size). Are there any comparable (size, etc) to Natchez that offer different colors besides white? We live in central Virginia. Many thanks!
Adrian Higgins: Crepe or crape myrtles come in different shapes and sizes. Natchez is the big tree type (much larger and shadier than most people realize) If you are looking for similarly sized trees in different colors there's Biloxi (pale pink) Basham's Party Pink (lavender) Muskogee (light lavender) Tuskegee (dark pink) Choctaw (bright pink) and Miami (coral pink).
Planter on a balcony: Good afternoon. My husband built me a 5-foot-by-2-foot planter for our balcony. He drilled holes in the base, and it is made of wood. Home Depot suggested we put plastic down on the inside, with gravel on top of that, plus soil. Does that sound like a good idea? The plastic would be to protect the wood from the moisture.
Also, what kind of soil should we use to fill the planter with?
Adrian Higgins: Use cedar. The plastic may help, but it must have enough holes to allow the container to drain. This is critical. I would use a potting mix containing perlite, not top soil, which will be too heavy and become poorly draining.
Alexandria, Va.: Getting lots of delicious tomatoes this year - but why do they all seem to split?
Adrian Higgins: They split because the plant is getting too much moisture at the ripening phase. Pick the fruit a little sooner and don't water unless it's dry.
McLean, Va.: Why is my tomato plant growing a small amount of tomatoes and why do the tomatoes that do grow have black spots?
Adrian Higgins: Tomato yield is linked to one or two things. First, fruit production will drop off where there is insufficient sunlight. Varietal selection is the other big thing. Beefsteaks, especially heirloom beefsteaks, take a long time to ripen and have few if any fruit cycles through the year. Smaller tomatoes are much more fruitful. Thus cherry and currant tomatoes fruit continually through the year.
Indoor: My husband uses fertilizer and weed killer on our lawn, and I'm not comfortable growing produce anywhere near to where these chemicals are used. Any suggestions for a successful indoor herb garden?
Adrian Higgins: There are organic fertilizers and herbicides, and the option of hand digging dandelions and things. Growing indoors is possible if you have enough light and humidity. I would consider asking your husband to reduce his chemical use, place an outdoor herb garden in a separate area, or in pots. Herbs love to grow in pots. Don't let him spray on a windy day.
Balcony gardening: Are there any vegetables that could still be started in containers this late in the season?
Adrian Higgins: Yes, you could grow lettuce and other salad greens and radishes. Try cilantro and arugula too. You may want to buy little plants to stick in, though arugula soon sprouts from seed.
Late plantings: Hi Adrian,
I was hoping to do some end-of-year planting, now that it has cooled off a bit. I recently bought some napa cabbage, bok choi, and swiss chard seeds that have a 40-day or so growing period. Could I realistically expect success if I plant them this weekend? Thanks!
Adrian Higgins: Yes, I started mine about three weeks ago. You may have to give them protection as they mature, but it's still worth a go. Another option is to buy cabbage etc transplants from local nurseries.
Chesapeake Beach, Md,: Can you create a vegetable garden if you have a primarily shaded lot?
Adrian Higgins: Alas not. You will be so disappointed with the results, especially after so much effort. You really need at least six hours of direct afternoon sunlight for the vast majority of vegetables to perform well.
Washington, D.C.: Mr. Higgins, Do you have any information on what a "Master Gardener" is? How do you become one?
I really enjoyed your article on vegetable gardens today and I love the chats!
Adrian Higgins: Master Gardeners are typically trained over several weeks in the winter and then must do volunteer work in helping people with their gardens. Master Gardener programs are affiliated with state land grant universities and county extension offices. That's UDC in Washington.
Fairfield, Conn. : On the weeds, a life saver this year for me was paper mulch. These are rolls of paper sold at garden stores which you put down around your seedlings and water. For good measure, I then covered these with salt hay (a favorite Barbara Damrosch mulch). Despite a lot of travel this year the weeds have been kept relatively at bay.
The paper degrades over the summer and the salt hay is good organic material - it all gets tilled into the soil in the fall or early spring.
Adrian Higgins: Excellent tip. It's hard to find salt marsh hay here, but pine needles or straw work as well. I know gardeners who save all their unsolicited mail order catalogues through the year and then use them as paving for their veggie gardens when they are tending to them in late winter. The paper is covered with a generous layer of mulch and breaks down in one season.
Anonymous: Cedar soil? what is that?
Adrian Higgins: Must have misspoken. Cedar wood and potting soil.
Arlington, Va.: I put in my first vegetable garden this year. Had great production of cucumbers and zucchini, until some kind of blight hit -- maybe botrytis. What do I need to do before I plant next spring's garden? I have limited space, so this garden bed is it.
Adrian Higgins: It sounds like bacterial wilt, which tends to get all cucumber vines sooner or later. I would make sure you are growing them upright on a trellis so that you can grow more plants. The more vines you have, the easier it is to say goodbye to an afflicted one.
Manassas, Va.: Where can I buy seeds locally in the Manassas/Woodbridge area for fall vegetables (specifically lettuces and spinach). I know I can get them through mail order, but I'm impatient, and I like to hold the pretty packets in my hand!
Adrian Higgins: Mail order takes a few days, not that long. If you are buying locally, look carefully at the date of production for the seeds. Seeds that have been sitting around for a year or two in a warm environment soon lose their potency. You want seeds that have been packaged for 2010. They're available at independent garden centers, hardware stores and supermarkets. I bought some supermarket seeds earlier this year that simply failed to germinate.
Richmond, Va.: Do you generally buy seedlings, or plant seeds yourself? Do you recommend any online sources for either seeds or seedlings? Thanks.
Adrian Higgins: Related question here. I tend to grow from seeds because I get the varieties I want and it's cheaper than buying transplants. I enjoy the process of preparing the pots and starting the seeds under lights. I generally get my seeds from Johnnys, Territorial, Southern Exposure, Renee's Garden, Kitchen Garden Seeds, Burpee, Seed Savers.
Richmond, Va.: Thanks for the informative articles on vegetable gardening. I hope you are able to take this question, which relates to trees (I missed the tree chat). Can you recommend a good book that describes their growth habits and root systems? I'm not averse to a textbook, if that the best option. I'm trying to incorporate new trees and shrubs in an existing landscape and I don't want to do anything that compromises the existing trees. Thank you.
Adrian Higgins: Perhaps not directly. The biggest mistake with tree planting is that folks don't think about how big a tree will get (above ground and below) and stick it six feet from the house. Having the foresight to plant a six foot high baby tree with no other tree within 15 to 20 feet is a great gift. Couple of books: Taylor's Guides, Trees; and How Trees Die by Jeff Gillman.
Old Blue in Exile: For the beginning gardener in Berkeley: Contact the University of California Agricultural Extension for brochures on raising home vegetables in the Bay Area (although as an organic gardener, I recommend ignoring their advice re pesticides).
Also, make it a point to walk/bike/skate/drive around different neighborhoods to see how other gardeners are raising vegetables, since space constraints in the East Bay force many to use front and side yard spaces as well, which are visible from the sidewalk and street. You might want to snap photos (with owner permission, whenever possible) for a dream album of ideas. Best of all, if you catch folks in the act of gardening, ask about their plot, what works best for them, methods they've abandoned as inappropriate, etc. I've yet to meet a home gardener who doesn't just LOVE to talk endlessly about his/her garden!
Adrian Higgins: Excellent advice, which transcends locale. Thank you.
Anonymous: Isn't cedar a bad choice for planter? They seem to warp and go ugly pretty fast. I just had to replace a bunch of them that looked terrible after just a few years and replaced them with a lightweight composite that will last much longer.
Adrian Higgins: Maybe. I think I'd prefer slightly warping cedar to plastic, though. Half whiskey barrels are pretty nifty too with proper drainage.
So good to "see" you: Great article today, but I have a non-veggie-garden question I'm hoping you can help with. I have a blue potato bush that has grown out of control since I replanted it into a different pot. Generally, this is good, but I live in an apartment with a balcony and need to trim it back. Problem is, last time I trimmed it back, it appeared very traumatic to the plant and when it started growing again, it's growing at weird angles off of the trimmed branches. Any suggestions on how and when to most successfully prune this beast? Thanks so much!
Adrian Higgins: Thanks. Is this a potato plant? You shouldn't have to prune it at all, and pruning it will set it back. You do hill up the base a few inches to encourage tubering (if there is such a word) You say it's non veggie, so I'm at a bit of a loss.
Squirrels be gone!: What is the best way to discourage squirrels from visiting my vegetable garden? Not only they are biting into my tomatoes one day before they are ready to be eaten, they dig holes right next to the roots even in my planters that are 3-4 feet above the ground. Thanks for your help.
Adrian Higgins: I don't know any effective way against squirrels. With tomatoes, the key is to grow lots and have them off the ground. The critters might take a bite from the lower fruit but should leave the upper ones alone. That's been my experience.
Chevy Chase, D.C.: Hi Adrian, I have been having bad luck growing zucchini for the last two years. Last year, I only got male flowers. This year, I have some tiny baby zucchinis, but they have all been turning yellow and withering before they get bigger than a few inches. Any idea what is going on?
Adrian Higgins: I think this has to be the last one. The vines will produce male flowers, more of them and earlier than the females. It sounds as if yours are not getting pollinated. I would do whatever you can to encourage bees. Don't use pesticides and plant bee friendly plants such as borage and black eyed susans and fennel (allowed to flower). Well, temperatures are getting bearable and we have all deserved a great fall in the garden this year after the beastly summer. Thanks for all your support and interest.

June 27th, 2014 by Sneaker News
Presented By adidas
The adidas Springblade is more than a sneaker. Sure, it started out as one futuristic model, which tore into retailers in August of last year, but from there the sneakers have evolved into a small family of shoes that all hinge on the same striking sole treatment. The sixteen angular polymer blades that lift the wearer off the ground have also lifted the design language of the Three Stripes, elevating their place in the performance running category.
First it was the adidas Springblade, a shoe six years in the making, that pushed the envelope about as far as humanly possible with its bold sole design. From there, the brand went to work in sharpening the upper of the already successful design. Enter the Springblade Razor, which introduced the proprietary TECHFIT lining to the insides of the shoes. This season the shoe will again evolve with the Springblade Drive.
This time around, the silhouette is slightly simplified—but all the technology that made it a hit in the first place remains. The adidas Springblade Drive dons a 360-degree engineered stretch mesh upper along with a one-piece stability cage that's borrowed from the adidas Energy Boost 2 (another adidas runner that's making plenty of noise). Explore the brief family tree of adidas Springblade sneakers shown here, and watch for the new Springblade Drive at select adidas Running retailers worldwide.

The following commentary does not necessarily reflect the views of AgWeb or Farm Journal Media. The opinions expressed below are the author's own.
John Block has dedicated his professional career to the fields of agriculture, food and health.
I have read Mr. Block's comments about corn and soybeans for over a year now. I have respected his opinion up until now. His logic is very one sided. Being a dairyman I have felt the impact of ethonal since its mandate. Corn acres have displaced soybean, wheat, cotton, and alfalfa acres. I have basically broke even or lost money since it was mandated by the government. Corn byproducts do not replace corn in my ration as many are lead to believe. Mr. Block seems to have drank to much Washington DC kool-aid. Take the subsidy off ethanol and if stands on its own more power to it. If the dairy industry does not get a break on feed costs soon you will be buying made in China, melamine laced milk.
I disagree with kgh3. I won't take the time to rebut each and every sentence; most people reading this will see all the holes for themselves. However, without a "break" in dairy feed prices, I believe we will simply see the poor operators get pruned out of the industry.
It seems that Mr Block is a fiscal conservative for everybody else but wants the subsidies to continue to flow for ethanol for his own self interest.
This is why nothing is being done about the US deficit. Everybody wants the cuts to be for somebody else!

A property that's long been considered one of the best development sites in Dallas has changed hands.
The former Showcase Chevrolet site at LBJ Freeway and Noel Road sits next door to Galleria Dallas.
The 14-acre tract for years was the home of Doran Chevrolet. It had been for sale for more than three years.
Last week, an investment company — Dallas Midtown Properties LLC — bought the key tract for an undisclosed price.
The property had been marketed for sale for more than $14 million.
The new owner of the former auto dealership site is a company set up by Donahue Development, one of the real estate firms that are working to redevelop the entire area between the Galleria and Preston Road on the north side of LBJ Freeway.
Donahue Development CEO Kent Donahue confirmed the sale Tuesday, but said it's too early to talk about plans for the property,
Donahue Development is partners in the deal with Diversion Capital.
Along with the Valley View Center property, the Chevrolet site is one of the largest potential building locations along that stretch of LBJ Freeway.
Previous owners of the land attempted to develop a $1 billion mixed-use complex that was to include office towers, a hotel, condominiums and a shopping center. But the project died because of the recession and credit crunch.
Lender RMR Investments Inc. of California eventually took control of the property. RMR Investments sold the property to Dallas Midtown Properties, county deed records show.
Ray Utley and Carter Kendall brokered the sale.
The site is just west of Valley View, which Dallas-based Beck Ventures is trying to redevelop with help from the city of Dallas.

CSX officials Tuesday confirmed press reports of an accord reached late last week between the Class I railroad and New York State on implementing HrSR (higher speed rail) along the Empire Corridor, which links Buffalo, Albany, and New York City.
CSX is the owner of most of the route's right-of-way, including between Buffalo and Schenectady, where the state is focusing on improving speeds from 79 mph to 110 mph. The agreement does not specify a 110 mph target; CSX has suggested 90 mph would be more readily attainable. Amtrak trains south of Albany reach 110 mph for a short distance.
The state seeks to build a third track along the route to facilitate HrSR passenger trains while minimizing interference with CSX operations. The new track apparently will meet CSX's insistence that it be separated by at least 30 feet from the nearest freight track, something CSX seeks to protect the safety of its workers and equipment. New York had balked at this measure in the past. Some land acquisition by the state may be required to meet this provision.
In a statement, CSX spokesman Robert Sullivan said the agreement "is consistent with CSX Transportation's commitment to work with state and federal officials to help find ways to safely and efficiently enhance passenger service in upstate New York, while at the same time ensuring the continued delivery and growth of job-creating, vital, green freight rail service."
"I appreciate CSX's readiness to do their part to make the promise of high speed rail in New York a reality," said Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-N.Y.) in a prepared statement. Slaughter has been generally supportive of passenger rail improvement efforts within New York and throughout the U.S.

Physician's Formula Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Gel Cream Liner for Green Eyes
Written by cassandraj, Posted in Blog
Price: roughly $10
Where to Buy: drugstores, Ulta
- Tons of product
- Brush included
- Inexpensive and widely available
- Brush isn't angled, seems more suited for lips
- Green shimmer in the black is all but invisible
I love the packaging! These are small pots but contain a lot of product. They snap together or can be left individually. This makes them travel friendly or easy to parse up as gifts.

Welcome to the first Skeptics' Circle of 2009! Edition #103 covers the period of Dec. 19th to Jan. 14th, so there's lots to talk about. In fact, about 11pm last night, I realized that I had done a COLOSSALLY stupid thing by volunteering to host the circle. There were a lot of really great posts written last month, and somehow I'm supposed to make sense of it all.
Fortunately, after the medicinal application of 5 or 6 pints of Ben and Jerry's, I calmed down and decided to just go with a tried-and-true Internet cliche, and created the first LOL-Insect Skeptics Circle.
As you can tell from my eating habits, I'm quite interested in medicine, and there were lots of posts calling woo-meisters out. The always distinguished Orac kicks things off with a post about AIDS denialism and the Ministry of Truth. Skeptico covers the Chopra Bait-and-Switch, and Autism Street deconstructs some Letters to Jenny McCarthy.
Skeptic Zone points out that while hair can be used for drug testing, it won't tell you much about your allergies, or a variety of other things hair analysis is being peddled for.
Lay Science volunteered for Jock Doubleday's bogus vaccine challenge, (and if you don't want your head to asplode, you may not want to read the comments on that post). Andrea discusses cognitive biases that make consumers vulnerable to shysters.
Dr. Aust has an update on the Simon Singh Case, and Space City Skeptics explain how to design your woo study to get the proper false positive results.
Concerned that WiFi is making you Sterile? That's ok–there's an imaginary therapy to deal with your imaginary ailment!
Also, while we're looking at larvae, I'll point out Young Australian Skeptics' post about being a skeptical parent, and Seth contributes a post on corporal punishment. (Also, exceptional Aussie LOLmoth here.)
Oh, and this matched set of larvae reminds me to mention One Brow does some mathematical musing on ordered sets.
In the "general woo and strangeness" category, I offer: Extraterrestrial Cows. The weirdest explanation of life on earth I've ever seen, and it will make you call for a new dose of your meds.
Skepbitch exchanges emails with a psychic hotline worker, and Book of Pooh-pooh reports a city council spends tax-payer money on Feng Shui.
Lots of posts covered the media, and their failures. Religion, Sets, and Politics asks "why the media gotta be hatin' skepticism?"
I caught Scientific American in a major Fail, and Dr. Aust points out that Rath is "Keeping it Unreal." Socratic Gadfly covers fake green huckstering.
In posts I'll loosely categorize as "Critical Thinking and General Skepticism," there are lots of nice essays to choose from. Greta Christina asks, Is hope always a good thing?, and Effort Sisyphus discusses global warming in Pascal's Wager, Science Style.
Mike's Weekly Skeptic Rant offers a primer on skepticism.
The diary of Liz Pepys is a literary hoax that has ensnared a few hapless scholars. Thought that Counts has a successful homeopathy intervention, and PodBlack discusses the possibility of being a deist and a skeptic.
The Evolving Mind discusses gravity as a theory, and Waffle discusses creationists' use of logical fallacies. One Brow discusses some silly things coming out of the Discovery Institute.
I'll finish off with a wonderful poem from Digital Cuttlefish about…well, you'll just have to click, won't you?
Thanks ever so to LOLmoth, the source of some of these images that I shamelessly stole, as well as Cheezeburger.

Anywhore I'd like to swap the internal and external memory on this rom but I don't know how to. I used Modified_Vold.fstab through root explorer/system/etc << pasted it into that, rebooted my phone and my sd card wouldn't show up on my phone. I managed to fix it but I really want to swap memories also the battery drains quick on this rom, I uninstalled bloatware apps but yet it goes down quick. Need help with those 2 so............................. HELP PLEASE =)
