While watering in the GH today, I found my first cucumbers and blooms on the tomato plant. We've had so many cloudy days I was very surprised to see the flowers. I'll be picking cukes by the end of this week from the look of things, I'm anxious to see how they taste.
Veggies in the winter
Oh, how cool is that!!!!!! So tell us more....when you started the plants, what kind of heat you used, etc. This is so exciting!
It is exciting, isn't it? This is my first year doing any winter plants. I have a little milk house electric heater set to kick on if temps drop below 50� and about 100 gallons of water that helps keep it warm at night. The tomato plant is a tumbling tom, started late October. I will do that different next year. The cucumber vine started the first of November. It is a big surprise that the cuke did better than the lettuce and bok choy, but maybe it is my fault that it didn't get watered as much as it needed; the cuke had a much bigger pot.
My big fern that usually dies down to the dirt is still green and setting out new fronds, and the geraniums are blooming. One of the blackie sweet potato vines has survived, the other dropped all their leaves, I'm hoping the roots are okay and will recover.
Today I plant my wave petunias, spring is getting close.
I'm planning on really working on winter harvesting this next winter. When I should have been starting plants for the greenhouse this past summer/fall, I didn't think I was going to be home this winter. Needless to say, I really have nothing growing to speak of.
wherever i am i shall be sgabird google ne
Hi this is being sent to all my patient customers so ur order has not shipped yet I am running a very successful business here and I will not tolerate this crap

thanks for your consideration
we shall see what I have been studing the net for the last 3 yrs yep
this is being sent to anyone in my address book as i will be deleting all entries because i don�t remember who most are
I am also finding there is absolutely no way to contact anyone from att w/o answering a million questions since I am not able to get an answer from att someone will it is what it is it just doesn�t matter
I am also going to try and raise vegetables in my greenhouse and I need answers to some questions.
Do I need to use a special seeds for greenhouse gardening?
When is a good time to start the seeds?
Will regular potting soil work?
What about lighting? Is flurorescent lighting necessary?
Thank You for your help.
Retired -- where are you located? What do you want to grow, and when? Big difference if you want to grow tomatoes or lettuce during the cold months (or if you even have cold months). Are you planning to grow in the ground, or in containers? Need more information!!

for tomatoes: if you have some already growing in the garden, either dig one up or take a cutting and root, it will save months of growing time to production. I used the same cuke seeds as in the summer garden. I plant in pots as my GH has a concrete floor.
Thank you for your comments. I live in Idaho.It does get cold here. My greenhouse is heated. I have planted some cherry tomatoes and plan to hang them from the ceiling. Have any of you tried this. The cucumbers I planted in pots are doing well. I'M so excited! I found three cattleya orchids on sale at Lowes. I hope I can keep them alive and that they bloom again. The greenhouse has been great fun since retirement.
I tried growing tomatoes in the GH the first year I had it. They are white fly magnets! I couldn't control them no matter what I tried, and I went to some heavy stuff! I finally got control of the situation by moving them outside when the nightime temp was projected to be 22� (rare here in Charleston, SC). Froze those little suckers to death! Froze the tomato plants to death too, but it solved the problem. The white flies had spread to other plants in the GH, but I had no problem controlling them with pyrethrin/rotenone/Safer Soap sprays. They were totally gone within 2 weeks. Needless to say, I've never had another tomato inside my GH...and no more white fly, either. If you see one white fly anywhere in the GH, get the tomatoes outside. They'll be your source.
Hello fellow GH owners,
A major challenge and opportunity faces me. We have a new greenhouse which is a "hoophouse" at 6,500 feet in northern New Mexico. Too far from practical electricity, it is drip irrigated. I note today it is ninety degrees in there due to the 318 days of full sun we have here, and the ground temperature is 60 degrees. We vary in temps about 40 degrees from noon til midnight. This is zone 5a. This soil here is clay, and even though finely tilled this spring, it reverts to hardpan in a single year, so I've found the hard way, with the combination of added water from the drip system and air temps in the 100=116 degrees during growing season , when the ground temps are high eighties.
I have access to both a dry stream bed and also 4-5 year old horse manure which is black, so I consider it compost. It is very friable. I have raised one of the beds 6 inches and have plans to raise the others this winter since I do not want the extraction problems I faced last fall when trying to harvest root type plants from the clay which had turned into granite in a summer.
My wife had a heart attack on Thanksgiving and she now has three stents in her heart and the knowledge she is diabetic. Thus, our entire lifestyle as to eating must change.
Relatively new to gardening, I plan to extend the growing season here early and late and believe this is possible. I believe raising the other three beds as I have just done to the 3 x 24 will be helpful in that the combination of aged manure and creek sand should be good for vegetable growing. I also want to learn about solar heating of this greenhouse.
So hoping to learn about both the best seeds to plant both early and late would be appreciated, but also the most practical way to heat the individual beds so they retain heat overnight here would be extrememly beneficial to me. Sorry to run on so long, but I wished you to be aware of the major circumstances and challenges I am facing.
Gene so
I am by far no "expert gardener" geneso, but got hooked on Rodale's preaching "the soil is everything" as a teen-ager, and stuck with it through the years. And it works! (It's also WORK!, but worth it). Clay soil is actually a good thing---has lots of plant nutrients locked up in it! You've already spotted this---the horse manure is your answer. If you have an unlimited supply of it, till a generous portion (4"-5") into your veggie beds before planting. Once planted, use the same manure (another 4"-5") as mulch around the beds. Do this for 4-5 years, and you'll be able to jam your hand down to your wrist in frothy loam...And veggies that start to scare you!
now that is cool!
i just got my GH up . Its 61 in there today and temps are 20 outside ! the sun is my friend :)
so i m looking forward to starting lettuce
i have a Dragons Mix
asian bak choy and some other asian greens
deer tongue and strawberry lettuce. i love that one.
Sue, did you find the Red Deer Tongue by any chance, or do you have the green?
The green.
Didn't know it came in red?
Going to try a new one Winter Density bib type,slow to bolt
Ok, thanks. I used to grow the red but can't find available seed for it now.
Enjoy that greenhouse!

Three buddies and I hit up L.A. this past weekend. This was the first time any of us had been to L.A. A co-worker of mine used to live in Venice and recommended a number of bars and restaurants. We are all 26 and live in Wichita, Kansas. Allegient Air had special fares and our flights were $60 round-trip with no stops. I used priceline.com to get our hotel (Double Tree in Santa Monica) for $70/night. The hotel location was about a ten minute walk to the Santa Monica pier and beach, and about a five minute walk to a large shopping and restaurant district. This promenade also had a open-air farmers market on Saturday (not our thing).
Day 1 (Thursday 10/29): We arrived around 10:00 p.m. and got to the hotel around 10:30. Since it was late, we headed straight for a bar. Finn Mccool's in Santa Monica seemed like a good idea. It was a laid back Irish pub that had a one-man band playing that night. The place was busy, but not packed. The entertainer played alternative rock songs that we all knew and liked. We had some "bar" food....nothing to brag about and downed some Guiness. We closed the bar down around 2 a.m. and headed for Holy Guacamole. A hole-in-the wall just down the street that serves amazing burritos and tacos until late. Highly recommended.
Day 2 (Friday 10/30): One of my buddies and me headed downstairs where the concierge recommended a breakfast place within walking distance. It was a place called Jenky's close to the Santa Monica promenade. One of the best breakfast's I've ever had. I had a Southwest scramble of eggs and salsa over sausage and an english muffin with cheddar cheese melted on top and a side of spicy southwestern potatoes (not usually a fan, but these were great). My buddy had whole wheat, banana, blueberry, macadamia nut pancakes and a side of habanero chicken sausage. They are well know for their pancakes and have a lot of healthy crap on their menu.
We then headed to Venice beach to check out the local flavor and enjoy some relaxing frisbee on the beach. Four girls were even nice enough to take their tops off and sunbath right next to us. Trip was going well
We then headed to Baby Blues BBQ in Venice (www.babybluesvenice.com). I always check out where Guy goes on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives before visiting a city. He's been here, so I had to check it out. Highly recommended....food shots on their site.
Then we all headed back to the hotel to get ready to go into L.A. Two of us bought tickets ahead of time to the Lakers game that night and the other two love to gamble, so they went to the casino in Commerce. Before the game we hit up an expensive Mexican joint called Trader Vic's that was one of the expensive touristy restaurant's at L.A. Live. We sat outside and drank some fruity rum concoction out of barrel's (special's during happy hour). If you go there, I highly recommend the fries. They have some type of mustard seasoning that I've never had before and we all loved them. Other than that, the scenery was nice.
I decided to ask a camera guy I bumped into where he would go to get drinks before the game and he said the Holiday Inn happy hour across the street. We blew him off, but decided to go after Trader Vic's. Nicest Holiday Inn I've ever been into. Free appetizer buffet (microwaved wings, but good chips and salsa) and $2 Modelo Especial. Deck outside and TV's to watch the games. Great deal if you want a beer before the game.
Lakers sucked as did our seats because we're poor kids from KS, but we walked down to the lower level at the end of the 3rd quarter and talked an old couple who was leaving into giving us their tickets....which happened to be in the fourth row directly behind Jack Nicholson's seat....too bad he didn't attend the game. But we did catch a great view of Mark Cuban acting like a child as always and a better view of the action.
After the game we did a touristy thing and headed to the Sunset Strip. Hit up a couple bars, but nothing good to report. It was cleaner than I had imagined.
Day 2 (Saturday 10/31) Breakfast at Jenky's....I know it was pathetic to eat at the same place twice on a short trip to LA, but it was within walking distance and we knew it was amazing. I had blueberry pancakes and he had some eggs benedict thing and they were phenomenal....same buddy as yesterday morning....the other two like to sleep. Then we went shopping the rest of the morning until the other two woke up. We took off to Venice for lunch at Abbott's Pizza Company. It was great pizza, but I've had great pizza in a million places. The crust was a medium thickness, which is my favorite. They had a lot of choices and you could order single slices of any of them. The pizza was not oily and the crust perfectly cooked.
Then we headed to Venice beach and walked from Venice beach to the Santa Monica pier. That took about 45 min and was a long ass walk. But the weather was gorgeous and we hung out on the beach all afternoon. We made a shark in the sand and played frisbee like 5 year olds. It was awesome.
We headed back to the room to get cleaned up for dinner. We went to The Sushi House in Santa Monica. Its a tiny hole-in-the-wall place that has a bohemian vibe and great sushi....obviously. I had the unagi, rolls royce and red dragon. Fabulous. We then wanted to stay close to the hotel, since we were all going to be drinking. We went down to the Santa Monica promenade on third street and found some Mexican cantina place that had indoor and outdoor seating. We people watched (it was Halloween) and drank margaritas all night. There were street performers and great costumes. We had a blast and I don't remember much of it
That was about it as our flight left the next day. I hope you enjoyed reading about our trip. Let me know if you have any questions about the places we visited. I'll try to remember to get back on here later this week and next.

Wow, what a great budget vacation. Lots of good tips in there.
It's interesting to see how trips turn out. More drinking than surfing, hmmm?
Baby Blues BBQ looks cool and Jenky's sounds good, too.
Sounds like you had so much fun, and it's great to encourage people to go for quick & inexpensive getaways. You discovered a lot of great places.
Report Abuse
Sounds like you had a great time.

Great report, thanks for reporting back and for the restaurant info.
So, no surfing? Or did you not want to make fools of yourselves in front of the topless girls?
BTW, I think Trader Vic's is going for a Polynesian theme, not Mexican.
Report Abuse
Hahahaha....we ended up not trying to surf. I checked into rentals and thought about it, but I think the temp of the water kept me out.
And I def agree about the Polynesian theme at Trader Vic's. Lot's of tiki men, bamboo and broad leaf plants. My bad....def didn't think that one through before typing.
We had a blast!

Just FYI, I saw your report yesterday morning, and I was heading to Santa Moncia later that day. So I ended up having a lunch at Jinky's Cafe! I had an eggwhite omelette with wheat toast and fruit, it was great. Thanks for the recommendation!

yk - You are definitely welcome! That made my day

Did you rent a car? I hope I didn't miss that in your report. My husband and I are looking for a weekend getaway and want to just relax. If we could get to the beach, food/drinks and shopping without a car in Santa Monica that would force us to just stay put. We'd do priceline too. Is the Doubletree a priceline 4*? Thanks in advance for the help!
Report Abuse
JD - We did not rent a car. It was probably more expensive to take cabs (even split four ways), but we didn't have the risk of wrecking a rental car and all of us could drink without worry of having to drive. And we didn't have to worry about finding our way around and dealing with the traffic. Negatives are that we couldn't just drive around and sight see. The most expensive cab rides were to downtown L.A. and trips to/from airport.
You can get to the Santa Monica beach from the Doubletree with a 10 min walk or to Venice beach with a $10 - $15 cab ride.
Sorry, but I can't remember what exactly what star level Doubletree was, but I def remember you can get it below 4. I wanna say it was a 3 star at $70 per night. But I'd try 3.5 first.

The Doubletree is listed as a 3* on biddingfortravel.com
hoppock20: Love your title! Sounds like a great vacation!

Jinky's (not Jenky's) is great for breakfast and lunch. I think the cantina-like place on the Promenade is Sunset Bar & Grill (kind of generic name to match the food). Fun for people-watching and for Happy Hour.
Sounds like a great mancation!

A lightning 'arrester' is installed in a tall building to protect it from lightning strikes. The lightning arrester is a long rod made of a good conductor of electricity like copper, with its one end being buried under the earth and the other one jutting out of the top of the house. The lightning arrester provides a path of least resistance for the lightning if and when it strikes the house. So, the lightning safely passes through the arrester down into the earth without damaging the house.
There is a parallel to this concept in the spiritual realm. We keep receiving one or more of the five sensory inputs from the external world, through our eyes, ears, nose, tongue and skin, every waking moment. These sensory inputs cause transformations of our mind which are called as vikaaras. Essentially, they are the agitations of mind in the form of our six enemies – desire, anger, greed, attachment, pride and jealousy. Thus, our mind can be seen as a house and the sensory inputs from the external world as frequent lightning strikes.
However, we can install a lightning arrester in our mind in the form of a spiritual attitude whose bed rock consists of vairagya bhav or asceticism, lack of ego, non-doership and non-duality. When I have a spiritual attitude, I am convinced that everything happens for a reason as part of the big picture for the Divine. So, nothing can disturb the equanimity of my mind. I have no likes or dislikes and hence am able to take life as it comes. I do not see any duality between myself and the rest of the world. Thus the spiritual attitude tackles the external stimulus and makes it pass harmlessly without affecting the mind one bit.
For example, when I smell a spicy hot dosa at a roadside stall, I am able to pause and tell myself that I don't quite need to go for it if I am not really hungry. The vairagya bhav in me has helped me overcome the desire. When my car is hit by another vehicle at the rear, I do not get angry because I do not see any duality between the driver of that other vehicle and myself. It is like my eye not getting angry when I accidentally put my finger in my eye because eye and finger are both parts of the same body.
I am no more greedy to earn more and more money because vairagya bhav is firmly established in me. I do not feel sad when my daughter or son gets married and leaves home to make a new home of their own because I have no feelings of "me and mine". If I get praised for some good work done by me in my office, I do not feel any sense of pride because I know I am not the doer and it is the Divine that has acted through me. I do not feel jealous if I miss a promotion and a colleague of mine gets it because I have faith in the divine scheme of things and am disinterested in worldly things.
Many of us lack a spiritual attitude. Later, some of us realise that external stimuli are like lightning, damaging our peace of mind. Then we start exploring the various ways and means of protecting our mind against these lightning strikes. This effort, spiritual sadhana, when appropriately guided by a true guru appearing before us at the right time, becomes a lightning arrester for our mind.

Re: PostgreSQL is a forkbomb...
This is incorrect, for several reasons. First, this specific example is not a fork bomb example -- if all a stored procedure does execute a query, another connection to the database is not made, and thus another process is not forked. While I suppose you could write a function using C that used libpq to open another DB connection, it would be pointless.
Second (and more importantly), trying to make a database secure if you allow users to execute arbitrary SQL is pointless (for example: disable the GEQO, execute a 20 table join query from 10 concurrent clients, and watch PostgreSQL eat up gigabytes of RAM and many minutes of CPU time). You simply cannot allow untrusted users to execute arbitrary SQL. It's even more dangerous to allow them to define functions; functions defined in C can trivially crash the backend. You might be able to get a modicum of security by using rlimit-style restrictions on the resources that PostgreSQL can use, but that's not a complete solution.
relationship with Xerces?
How does this release compare with Apache Xerces? There are IBM developers working on Xerces, and IIRC, source code from IBM was used as the foundation for Xerces. Xerces also seems to support more XML-related standards, and has a much more liberal license.
Are there any reasons to choose this product over Xerces?

Direct sun ok?
I'm fixing to paint my deck and I was wondering if there are any words of advice as far as exposure to sunlight while drying. It's hot today and sure to get up in the upper 90s. (I'm in North Texas). Oh. and I'm using semi-gloss, if that makes a difference.

Well, a lot depends on whether you're using a latex or oil based paint. Latex paints have a finicky film formation mechanism that can get screwed up by either excessively high or low temperatures. Oil based paints, on the other hand, have a much more robust film formation mechanism that's hard to screw up. You can paint outdoors with oil based paint in a Manitoba blizzard, and the paint will stay tacky all winter long, and then cure normally once the warm weather comes again in spring. You can't do that with latex paints. In fact, when I paint with oil based paints, I'll put the paint and brush or roller in my freezer while each coat dries. The very cold paint warms up quickly once it's spread on the surface, and cures normally.
If you're painting with a latex paint, there's more concern about the paint not sticking well or forming a proper film. Both excessively high day time temperatures (or high temperature of the surface being painted) as well as cold can screw up the film formation process in latex paints. It's generally recommended not to paint with latex paints below 10 deg. Celsius (50 deg. F) or above about 30 deg. C (86 deg. F), and painting in direct sunlight on a hot day adds to the problem because the surface being painted can be hotter than the outdoor air temperature.
If it's an oil based paint you're going to be painting with, then go for it. I'd be more concerned about you getting dehydrated than about what's going to happen to the paint. You might want to thin your paint a bit with mineral spirits to compensate for the more rapid evaporation of thinner from the paint.

Alas, it's latex. I called Behr support and they advised me to not paint when the ambient temp was over 90 F. It's a cool 70 something this morning so I knocked it out. Another tip I got was to use this product called Mold Armor Deck Wash. I just about killed myself a couple years ago following the instructions on the Behr paint can. Three times I applied various cleaning chemicals and got down and hand scrubbed every square inch of wood. I wish I knew then...

I should comment on freezing oil based paint because I've seen people simply cover oil based paint with plastic between coats, and that won't do much. They're thinking as long as they prevent the mineral spirits from evaporating, they'll prevent the oil based paint from drying. You can do that with latex paints, but oil based paints are a nuther kettle of fish.
Oil based paints will actually get heavier when first exposed to air because they will absorb O2 from the air, and the increase in weight is measurable. And, of course, it's that O2 from the air that reacts at locations where pairs of unsaturated sites are in close proximity that causes pairs of C-O-C crosslinks to form between those unsaturated sites. It's the formation of those C-O-C crosslinks that ultimately converts the liquid paint into a solid, thereby causing it to "dry".
When you're using a brush or roller to paint with oil based paint, by the time you've put on a first coat, you can pretty well assume that plenty of O2 from the air has already dissolved in the paint that's in your brush or roller. So, once that happens, then the curing of the paint is just a matter of time. But, you can greatly stretch out the time for that paint to "dry" be getting it cold. Just like any other chemical reaction, the colder the reactants, the less quickly they'll react. In this case, the colder the paint, the less rapidly it'll react with the O2 dissolved in it. So, by putting the paint in the freezer, you can very much slow down the amount the paint "drys" between successive coats.
If you're painting with latex paint, then you can just cover the paint to prevent water and coalescing solvent from evaporating from the paint. Getting the paint cold would probably also help by minimizing the amount of water and coalescing solvent that evaporates from the latex paint, but you want to use the fridge, not the freezer. Freezing latex paint MIGHT wreck it. But, with latex paints, preventing the evaporation of the water is really all you need to do to prevent the paint from drying, so plastic bags are all you really need.
And, you can use this info to your advantage. If you want to prevent a skin forming on your oil based paint in storage, then when you're ready to paint, then pour some paint out of the can into a tray or whatever, and then put something inside the can to displace the air, and then put the paint can lid back on quickly. The whole idea is to minimize the time of exposure of the paint in the can to air.
Lee Valley sells a pressurized bottle of gas (mostly nitrogen) to displace the air in the can, but I prefer to use butane because I can buy it quite cheap at smoke shops for refilling butane lighters. Also, I know butane is heavier than air, (but I think nitrogen is almost the same density as oxygen). So, in the empty space in the can, the butane will settle to the bottom of that space, effectively isolating any air on top from the paint. But, it's important to remember to keep the exposure time of the paint to air to a minimum. If you leave the paint can open for an hour or two while you paint, and then just spray some butane or nitrogen into the can before closing it, that's a waste of butane or nitrogen. The paint at the top will cure to form a skin despite the butane or nitrogen over top of it.
Also, if you ever accidentally knock over a gallon of paint onto a floor or whatever, immediately cover the spill with plastic (or anything else that will prevent evaporation from the latex paint and/or O2 absorbtion by oil based paint. You stand a much better chance of being able to clean up the spill by keeping either kind of paint from drying, and the very first step in the drying of oil based paints is that absorbtion of O2 molecules from the air.

Revealed: The real reason Daniel Sturridge is struggling at Liverpool
STEVE MCMANAMAN reckons Daniel Sturridge is missing Luis Suarez at Liverpool.
McManaman believe Sturridge suffers from the lack of a strike partner
Sturridge's breakthrough season came when he, playing alongside Suarez and Raheem Sterling, scored 21 league goals and nearly helped Liverpool to the 2013-14 Premier League title.
But the Reds finished second that season and Sturridge's Uruguayan strike partner made a £75million switch to Barcelona that summer.
Since that move Sturridge has just seven goals in his 18 league appearances as a whole range of injuries has dogged his career.
But McManaman, who himself made more than 350 appearances for the Anfield outfit, believes that injury is not his only problem.
"Sturridge is immensely talent and he's Liverpool's best centre-forward so Liverpool need him on the field," McManaman said.
"His form a couple of years ago was brilliant and it would great to see him back to those levels.
"It's going to be difficult without Luis Suarez and Raheem Sterling next to him because if you're playing with a partner who occupies the defence as much as Suarez did it gives you more space.
"But if you're up there on your own it's going to be harder.
McManaman had been hoping he would see Sturridge lift the trophy as he did in 1995
"Sturridge has got the ability to score lots of goals and cause lots of chaos.
"You just need him to have a real run of games and stay fit."

Räikkönen keen to get back on podium
4 July 2013 – Lotus F1 driver Kimi Räikkönen has said a podium result this weekend at the Nürburgring would represent a 'step in the right direction'.
The Finn had to settle for fifth at the British Grand Prix after a strategic error late on by his team. He has now gone three races without rostrum - and has only scored 13 points - a situation that cannot continue if he is to maintain his title challenge.
Despite that though, Räikkönen insists it is not affecting his mindset going to Germany for round nine in the 2013 FIA F1 World Championship.
"It is three races now where we haven't had the result we maybe expect, but hopefully if we can have a bit more luck [this Sunday] and also get rid of some of the mistakes we'll be able to get back to the front," he said.
"It [the 'Ring] should suit us, but the fact is you need a really good car to be competitive there," he added.
"Most of all you need good traction out of the corners and a stable car under braking. We're pretty reasonable in both these areas. We have had our issues with cooler weather and unfortunately it's not usually that warm at the Nürburgring, but we'll just see what we get and get on with it.
"We never promise anything beforehand [in terms of what results we might get]. [But] a podium would be a positive result and a step in the right direction.
"We missed that at Silverstone, and it would be good to get back to the top positions. The season is still long and the leaders of the championship are ahead of us. Realistically, all I can do is to do my very best in each race."
Räikkönen has never had much luck in Germany, but he doesn't think this will be a barrier to him doing well this year.
"Obviously in the past both circuits – the Nürburgring and Hockenheim – have not been very kind to me, but I like them both and I have always been very competitive; in terms of pace if not maybe results. I've gone very well at the Nürburgring before, just never won. A couple of times I've had to stop while leading the race which always sends you home with a bad feeling.
"Hopefully I can finally get everything right this time. Last year we made the top three in Hockenheim, so let's wait and see how it goes at the Nürburgring for the first time with this team," he summed-up.

Picnic season has arrived and with it, a gigantic appetite for one of American's most decadent comfort foods: potato salad.
Perfect potato salad offers a delicate balance of flavors that allows every ingredient — the potatoes, eggs, mayonnaise and pickles — to shine. It's not hard to make, but it's messy and time-consuming and, as devotees are well aware, much can go wrong. Potatoes can be undercooked or overcooked, cut too small or not at all. And too much or too little salt or vinegar can pummel the taste buds.
Obviously, homemade is best. But when a picnic calls for potato salad and there's just no time, there are plenty of supermarket options which, it turns out, vary dramatically in quality and taste. Some are ultra-creamy or uber-eggy. Some are pickle powered, others have no gherkins at all — and still others are loaded with fun extras like bacon, blue cheese or fresh herbs.
The key to finding a good potato salad is to pass up the ones with long shelf lives in favor of the deli counter's fresh-made versions. Not all markets have a deli counter, so this story includes prepackaged and deli versions, few of which are freshly made on site.
Here's the scoop on the best and the worst, with nutritional information, where available, for a one-cup serving.
Safeway Red, White & Bleu
Smokey, chewy bits of bacon, minimal mayonnaise and just a hint of blue cheese make this an interesting and irresistible alternative to traditional potato salad. Nutritional data not available. $4.99 per pound. (4 stars)
Raley's Potato and Egg Salad
Fresh dill, crunchy bits of celery and large bites of egg make this creamy and well-seasoned salad a winner. Those who love mayonnaise might like the market's "Fully Loaded" version. All of Raley's salads are made fresh every three days — and they taste like it. A serving has 387 calories, 24 grams fat. $3.99 per pound. (4 stars)
Whole Foods Potato Salad
Fresh potato, egg and parsley mixed with great-flavored mayonnaise make this natural and authentic potato salad one of the best. Giant hunks of potato and a lack of acidity keep it from getting a perfect score. A serving has 270 calories, 12 grams fat. $8.49 per pound. (3 ½ stars)
Trader Joe's
There's a bit too much green onion in this dense, pickle-free, mashed potato-style salad, but the flavor is good enough for a second bite, followed by a third. It's perfect for pickle-haters. A serving has 360 calories, 18 grams fat. A 20-ounce tub is $3.99. (3 stars)
Will's San Francisco Potato Salad
This vegetable-forward salad is never going to pass for homemade, but it is pleasantly creamy with a good balance of flavors. A serving has 400 calories, 30 grams fat. $3.99 per pound at Lucky. (3 stars)
Sprouts Blue Cheese and Bacon Potato Salad
Made with red potatoes, this salad has bold blue cheese flavor with just a hint of bacon. It loses points due to slightly grainy potatoes and limp vegetables. A serving has 440 calories, 30 grams fat. $4.99 per pound. (3 stars)
Safeway Deviled Egg Potato Salad
This bright yellow mix of eggs, potatoes, red peppers and herbs is decadently creamy, but its flavors are one-dimensional and slightly too sweet. A serving has 440 calories, 24 grams fat. $3.49 per pound. (2 ½ stars)
Sprouts Potato Salad
This extremely eggy potato salad has grainy potatoes and it's slightly too sweet, due to too much sweet pickle relish. A serving has 380 calories, 20 grams fat. $2.99 per pound. (2 stars)
Mustard Potato Salad
Vinegar and mustard squash every other flavor in this semi-pureed style salad. A serving has 380 calories, 16 grams fat. A 2-pound tub is $3.19 at Wal-Mart. (2 stars)
New Orleans Bill's Potato Salad
A tongue-numbing dose of black pepper wakes up this goopy mess of a potato salad, but not in a good way. A serving has 290 calories, 46 grams fat. A 3-pound tub is $6.19 at Smart & Final. (½ star and that only because I like pepper)
First Street Original Potato Salad With Egg
Those who like benign, flavorless food may enjoy a scoop of this mayonnaise-bomb. A 1-cup serving has 255 calories, 7.5 grams fat. A 2-pound tub is $3.19 at Smart & Final; an 8-pound carton is $7.69. (½ star)
Reser's Original Potato Salad
This ubiquitous potato salad brand makes a trio of flavors, but the original is the one most encountered at parties. Overwhelming sweetness kills any potato flavor. A serving has 460 calories, 24 grams fat. A 1-pound tub is $2.89 at Smart & Final; an 8-pound carton is $8.81 at Costco. (No stars)

It's happen to me about 2 times and it's during my menstrual cycle. It's happened about a year difference. I've seen some sort of a tissue, it's not mucus coming out but like a small piece of skin/tissue while bleeding. I've never payed attention to it but, it did worry me when it happened. Now I've had it again happen to me so I wanted to know if there is something wrong with me?

LONDON, Dec 16 (Reuters) - European shares staged a late rebound on Tuesday as the Russian rouble recovered a good chunk of its daily losses against the dollar and as oil prices also gained ground.
Traders pointed to comments by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, who said Russia had made constructive moves towards possibly reducing tensions in Ukraine.
Others also said the rebound may have been a technical one, with many key indexes looking oversold after a volatile trading session in the wake of Russia's huge emergency interest-rate hike.
The FTSEurofirst 300 index of pan-European shares provisionally closed 1.8 percent higher at 1,314.31 points after trading as low as 1,273.2 earlier in the day.
With Western economic sanctions and falling oil prices crippling the Russian economy, Kerry's comments were seen as a sign relations between the United States and Russia might become more constructive.
"John Kerry...made all the difference," Justin Haque, a trader at Hobart Capital, said. (Reporting By Francesco Canepa; Editing by Lionel Laurent)

Utah State track and field standout senior pole vaulter Sonia Grabowska won her second title of the season clearing 4.05m (13 feet, 03 1/2) at the Boise State Team Challenge in Nampa, Idaho, on Saturday at Jacksons Indoor Track.
Overall, USU had 15 student-athletes place in the top 10 and 11 Aggies set new personal-best marks at both the Boise State Team Challenge and at Washington's FloTrack Husky Classic in Seattle, Wash.
Junior Jon Goble recorded a personal-best time in the 60m hurdles (8.50 seconds) to garner sixth-place, while senior Philip Noble and junior Jordan McMurray followed close behind taking seventh- and ninth-places with time of 8.56 and 8.87, respectively.
Junior David Cluff ran a 9:02.46 in the 3000m race to place 10th, while sophomore Kenny Hamlett tied his season-high of 1.84m (6-00 1/2) in the high jump to tie for sixth-place.
Rounding out the top 10 for the Aggie men was senior Damian Szade, who placed second in the long jump with a mark of 6.93m (22-09), while Noble placed eighth with a mark of 6.31m (20-08 1/2) in the same event. Noble also set a personal-best mark in the shot put (11.19m (36-08 1/2)) and in the 60m hurdles (8.50). Senior Xavier Martin recorded a new personal-best in the 60m dash, clocking in at 7.18 along with junior Jordan McMurray setting a personal-best mark in the shot put with a throw of 11.55m (37-10 3/4).
For the USU women, sophomore Sam Nielson and senior Julia Stewart led the way in Nampa, Idaho, with a third and fifth-place finish in the triple jump with leaps of 11.88m (38-11 3/4) and 11.56m (37-11 1/4), respectively. Stewart's time is a personal-best. Sophomore Haley Ence collected 10th place in the 800m with a time of 2:23.95, while junior Amber Thompson and senior Rachelle St. Jeor joined Grabowska in the pole vault clearing 3.60m (11-09 3/4). Thompson tied for seventh-place on a judges decision while St. Jeor took home 10th-place.
"We are pointed in the right direction to get ready for the conference meet and we have the next 10 days to tune things up," said Utah State veteran head coach Gregg Gensel. "We have been to Boise several times this year and many times in the past, so our veterans are familiar with everything and our newer athletes have seen how things work. It will be a new experience with Boise State not competing in the conference championships but it is what it is. We are going to try and take an advantage of anything we can."
At Washington's FloTrack Husky Classic, the Aggie distance runners collectively performed well as several athletes set new personal-best marks including senior Nick Bolinder who claimed the highest place for USU with a fifth-place finish in the 3,000m run (8:30.86). Sophomore Hannah Williams also set a personal-best time as she clocked in at 4:57.79 in the mile run to take home ninth place. Other Utah State runners to set personal-best marks in Seattle were junior Stephanie Burt (5:01.06), along with freshman Brittany Bushman (5:11.57) and Eric Shellhorn (4:18.70), all in the mile.
Utah State track and field teams will take the week of Feb. 13-18 off to train before returning to Jacksons Indoor Track in Nampa, Idaho, for the WAC Indoor Championships on Feb. 23-25 and the NCAA Indoor Championships on March 8-11. The Aggies will also compete in some last chance meets on March 3 that will be determined the week prior.

April new car sales in Europe post gain for first time since Sep 2011 due to two more working days
18 May 2013
In April, sales of new passenger cars in Europe grew for the first time (+1.7%) since September 2011, according to figures from the European Association of Automobile Manufacturers (ACEA). The region counted on average two more working days compared to the same month last year, which would account for the increase, ACEA said.
In absolute figures, April 2013 was the third lowest level of new registrations for a month of April, with the historic low for April reached in 2012 (1,021,358 units). A total of 1,038,343 units was recorded in the EU in April this year, or 1.7% more compared to the low level of April last year.
Four months into the year, new car registrations amounted to 4,026,946 units, or 7.1% less than in the same period a year ago.
In April, results were varied across markets. Germany (+3.8%), Spain (+10.8%) and the UK (+14.8%) expanded, while France (-5.3%) and Italy (-10.8%) faced a downturn.
From January to April, the UK remained the only major market to post growth (+8.9%). Spain (-6.7%), Germany (-8.5%), France (-12.3%) and Italy (-12.3%) all saw their demand decline, leading to an overall 7.1% decrease in the EU.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Federal officials have issued more subpoenas about the stalled Xanadu retail and entertainment project in New Jersey's Meadowlands.
They're asking the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority for information from 2002 until the present about political endorsements by public officials in support of the project.
Sports authority spokesman John Samerjan tells The Record newspaper the agency will cooperate with the request.
Information also has been requested from Assembly and state Senate Democrats.
The sprawling $2 billion complex was originally slated to open in late 2007.
Gov. Chris Christie has proposed using state money to finish the project.
