ROCHESTER, Minn. — A Mayo Clinic-led group of researchers has discovered three subgroups of a single type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that have markedly different survival rates. These subgroups could not be differentiated by routine pathology but only with the aid of novel genetic tests, which the research team recommends giving to all patients with ALK-negative anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL). Findings are published in the journal Blood.

Private Yoga Lessons. Go at your pace.
Originally, yoga was taught by a teacher who worked with an individual on a one to one basis. The lesson would be tailored specifically to the needs of the person, their health, body type and lifestyle. Although group yoga classes are now the most popular way of learning yoga, this doesn't suit everyone. If you're interested in a personalised approach then private yoga classes could be for you.
Private yoga lessons are ideal if you:
- would like a bespoke plan to improve your health and wellbeing.
- are a beginner who wants to learn the basics before joining a group class.
- are someone who is recovering from an illness or has a health condition and would like to explore yoga at your pace.
- are not comfortable in group settings.
- are very busy, find it hard to fit in a regular class and want to practise yoga at a time to suit you.
- would like to take your practice to a deeper level and incorporate yoga philosophy and psychology.
- would like to treat yourself or someone else to a gift of yoga.

Fear of Marijuana Legalization Nationwide is unfounded. Not based on any science or fact whatsoever. So please prohibitionists, we beg you to give your scare tactics, "Conspiracy Theories" and "Doomsday Scenarios" over the inevitable Legalization of Marijuana Nationwide a rest. Nobody is buying them anymore these days. Okay?
Furthermore, if all prohibitionists get when they look into that nice, big and shiny, crystal ball of theirs, while wondering about the future of marijuana legalization, is horror, doom, and despair, well then I suggest they return that thing as quickly as possible and reclaim the money they shelled out for it, since it's obviously defective.
The prohibition of marijuana has not decreased the supply nor the demand for marijuana at all. Not one single iota, and it never will. Just a huge and complete waste of our tax dollars to continue criminalizing citizens for choosing a natural, non-toxic, relatively benign plant proven to be much safer than alcohol.
If prohibitionists are going to take it upon themselves to worry about "saving us all" from ourselves, then they need to start with the drug that causes more causes more determent to our society than every other drug in the world COMBINED, which is alcohol!
Why do prohibitionists feel the continued need to vilify and demonize marijuana when they could more wisely focus their efforts on a real, proven killer, alcohol, which again causes more determent to our society than all other drugs, COMBINED?
Prohibitionists really should get their priorities straight and/or practice a little live and let live. They'll live longer, happier, and healthier, with a lot less stress if they refrain from being bent on trying to control others through Draconian Marijuana Laws.
Thanks for your understanding of my error in judgment. It's been a long day and there sure are many biased articles being pumped out through the internet in the last week or so. It's been a long, sleepless battle trying to expose them and educate people in my spare time.
Thank you also for taking the time to explain your reasoning behind that sentence or two. You are a good writer, doing a great thing to help inform the public on this issue.
I'm just trying to do what I can for the cause. The technology and widespread use of the internet and online forums these days is a fantastic tool for getting people involved in the marijuana legalization movement.
I'm sorry. This is where I got that assumption from:
"Given the legislative precedent thus far, things don't seem overwhelmingly optimistic within state government."
This "article" was obviously written by someone whom wants marijuana to remain illegal. It is completely biased. Don't let Clevescene magazine and it's staff fool you. Truth of the matter is that these legalization measures have a tremendous amount of support from our politicians and the VAST MAJORITY of Ohioans support legalizing marijuana. If it was up to Clevescene magazine , they would have you give up. Don't listen to their lies. Don't give up. Stand up for Marijuana Legalization!
The MAJORITY of Americans Support the Full Legalization of Marijuana Nationwide.
Marijuana Legalization Nationwide is an inevitable reality that's approaching MUCH SOONER than prohibitionists think and there is NOTHING they can do to stop it!
Legalize Nationwide! Support Each and Every Marijuana Legalization Effort!

Gavin Polone Set for Thriller 'Psycho Killer' Produced by Eli Roth
by Ethan Anderton
November 2, 2010
Source: The Wrap
Though he's produced comedies like Ghost Town and the darker Zombieland producer Gavin Polone (above right) has also ventured into darker territory further back in his career with Panic Room and 8MM. Now it looks like the longtime producer is making the jump the director's chair as The Wrap reports Polone is set to re-team with Se7en screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker (who also wrote 8MM) for Psycho Killer. Horror favorite Eli Roth is producing the story of a nameless, masked murderer who leaves a trail of victims across the U.S. However, a chance encounter resulting in another victim leaves a survivor who may give him more than he bargained for.
During a random murder of a highway patrolman in Nebraska, his young wife, a fellow officer, watches from afar and, following the murder, sets out to find the killer as he plans a mass murder that will guarantee him a spot in hell. This seems like a little too specific information for the story, but apparently the film will follow the title character for the first 20% of the film before splitting and following both the cop and the killer independently until they come together for the film's bloody climax.
Casting is underway and a rising female star is being sought for the lead female role. Sounds like a potentially interesting thriller, and if Walker can inject just a little of the brilliance he displayed with Se7en then we might be in for a treat. Studio Canal found success earlier this year with Eli Roth upon the release of The Last Exorcism, so I'm sure they're hoping for another audience drawing thriller. As soon as we hear anything regarding casting for Psycho Killer, we'll let you know. Anyone interested?

Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov said the killing of opposition leader Boris Nemtsov was a "heinous crime which will be fully investigated".
Mr Nemtsov was shot dead on Friday night near the Kremlin. Western officials have called on Moscow to conduct a prompt and transparent probe of the killing.
Mr Lavrov told the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva that Russian president Vladimir Putin had "immediately handed down all instructions and is ensuring special control over this investigation".
At the same time he rebuffed outside interference in the probe, saying that any "attempt to use the heinous killing of Boris Nemtsov for political purposes is despicable".

A/N – I posting this completely unbeta'd and unedited and un-deAmercianized because it'll never see the light of day otherwise. I don't know what wrong with me but I'm feeling like a sentimental emotional fool today and this is the result of that. It's bucket full o' fluff and happy feelings, which generally turns my stomach a little. If my natural and true cynical self returns before I publish this it will be making a trip to the recycle bin. I am not a romantic by nature. However, here it is. The idea for this came from reading a pamphlet in the allergy doctor's office this morning. Enjoy or don't enjoy as you see fit, but considered yourself warned about the grammar and spelling, I am a master of neither.
Warnings – Other than the gag inducing sappiness and minor sexual innuendo I don't think there are any.
Disclaimer – Yeah, nope, not mine.
"John, we should try this?" The detective's voice carries from the couch, where he is lying and watching crap telly, to his husband in the kitchen finishing up the washing from dinner.
"Try what?" The doctor replies, putting the last plate onto the rack to dry.
"This thing, on the show."
That clears it up, thinks John as he takes the towel from over his shoulder and places it on the handle of the oven. He walks to the doorway of the kitchen and leans against the wall, letting out a put upon sigh. Sherlock glances up at him before turning his attention back to the show.
The detective is lying on his back, one arm thrown up over his head so that it's resting on the arm of the sofa. His other hand is busy pulling on his lower lip as he becomes more engrossed in whatever it is that he is watching on the telly. His knees are bent up, forcing his tall frame into taking up just over half of the couch. John knows that he's leaving the other end open so that the doctor will join him. If and when he does, Sherlock can then put his feet in the doctor's lap and with enough persistence get a foot massage.
Sherlock loves to have his feet rubbed, nobody had been more surprised to learn this than John. However, he'd been delighted to. The promise of John's thumbs digging into his arch and pulling on his toes is one of the few things that can and will stop Sherlock Holmes dead in his tracks. He'll stop working, stop complaining, stop shooting the wall, stop sulking, and even stop experimenting. It's one of the most useful tools in John's arsenal.
"What should we try?"
Sherlock looks back to the doctor annoyed that he has to explain further. Obviously, John should have been able to follow the TV from the other room, where he hadn't been listening.
Sherlock sighs before dropping the hand that was playing with his lip and wiggling his toes into the leather of the couch. John represses the smile at his husband's not subtle movements. The detective gestures vaguely to the television, "On this show, they are talking about little things to make your marriage better."
John is astonished by the topic, things like that, emotions and feelings and family, are almost always guaranteed to make Sherlock change the channel. Unless of course he's waiting to find out "Who da baby daddy is" as the detective has become prone to saying after hearing it on one of his daytime programs. John just groans internally every time he hears it, hoping that it will go away. But real feelings and serious topics are hardly his area of enjoyment. John had been expecting something along the lines of, "The new martial art technique recently imported from Laos."
"Is there something wrong with our marriage?" he asks finding himself genuinely curious about his husband's answer. Two minutes ago he'd have easily answered no to that question, but perhaps Sherlock is aware of something that he is not.
"Of course not," the detective declares as if that was somehow the stupidest question that he's ever heard. John feels a few muscles relax that he hadn't really known had tensed. "It just sounds like it could be interesting. For example, what are 5 things that you love about me? Say the top 5."
Sherlock looks up at his husband for a minute and John immediately catches the glint in his eye. He wants to make it a game. Typical. But before he can reply, Sherlock speaks again and he holds up a finger, beginning to count off the items.
"Certainly my penis is probably very highly rated and probably my fingers." John watches as the glint becomes a sultry smile. "Of course my tongue." Sherlock's brow furrows as he thinks and John feels the emotions collide inside of him. Listening to his husband list off the body parts he finds enjoyable during their sexual encounters is enticing, it probably always will be. However, listening to his husband list them off as items that John loves most about him is annoying and horribly incorrect.
The detective's face lights up as he adds a fourth and fifth finger to the list. "The back of my knees and my ass." He smiles his smug know-it-all-arrogant-bastard-I-solved-the-case smile. John crosses his arms and stares at him.
Sherlock frowns, confused that John isn't enjoying this. The detective extends his legs out slightly, picking his feet up off the couch and wiggling his toes again. It's another less than subtle request for John to take his usual place and do his usual task.
It won't be happening tonight.
"Do you really think that your cock is what I love best about you?" Sherlock's frown grows. He clearly has no idea where this less than intellectual conversation went wrong. He straightens his legs, realizing that the massage won't be coming and hoping now just to stave off argument. He doesn't like to argue with John.
"It isn't?" He asks genuinely curious. "You love to have sex."
The doctor lets out a frustrated sigh and doesn't lower his gaze from his husband's. "Sherlock, I can honestly say that I can't put a definitive list together of the top 5 things that I love about you. There are so many interchanging parts and factors that I can't. I could easily name 5 things that I love about you but, wait, no that isn't entirely true. I know what I absolutely love the most about you, but after that it's all different times, different days, different moments. The top 1,000 things that I love about you are almost completely interchangeable and each equally important to me. And your individual body parts aren't even in the top 10,000 things that I love about you."
Sherlock continues to frown, "I don't understand." John isn't surprised by this. What had started out as a game to Sherlock has turned into a less than pleasant conversation.
"I love your hair, Sherlock. I love to rub my fingers through it, and tug on it, and smell it. I love it, but if you shaved it off tomorrow I wouldn't leave you. It isn't fundamental to my affection for you or a moment or memory that I sacredly treasure."
"What are they?" Sherlock's brow is still furrowed, he's thinking now, trying to figure it out, trying to deduce. John just shakes his head, slightly disappointed by not really surprised.
"Why don't you list the things that you love most about me?" He counters, lifting his eyebrow and waiting to see Sherlock's response. "Or any 5, list any 5 things that you love about me?"
The detective stiffens on the couch, choosing to turn his frown into an all-out sulk instead of answering the question. He's trying to turn this around, trying to make it John's fault that this conversation has degraded so far.
"Is it really, my cock, my fingers, my tongue, and my ass and whatever other appendage or organ I use to make you have an orgasm? I doubt that Sherlock, I really do. At least I hope that isn't true."
They stare at each other for a long moment before, "All right then," John says. He pushes himself off the wall and uncrosses his arms. He brushes his hands together, "I'm going to head to bed then."
Sherlock sits up, not liking that John is upset. "Don't…" he starts but stops short. John looks at him for another moment before crossing the room. The doctor leans over and places a kiss on his husband's lip, it's simple, quick, and carries none of the usual warmth. It's a necessary part of the nightly ritual though and is rarely skipped.
"Good-night," John says. "Don't stay up to late."
"John?" Sherlock questions as the doctor turns and heads towards the stairs. He doesn't stop or turn back. Sherlock listens to the sounds as his husband retreats, completely at a loss as to what happened. He does love having sex with John, why is that bad? And not only is he not going to have his feet rubbed, there will be no shagging after that either.
He lets out an exasperated sigh and flattens himself back on the couch. What a waste of a night.
Two hours later Sherlock makes his way upstairs. He'd been unable to get comfortable or settle down. His least favorite thing about being married, about John, about loving John, is when they are out of sync with each other. He hates when John is upset with him, he hates to do things wrong. Especially if he doesn't know what he's done wrong.
He used to think that relationships were pedestrian and for the simple-minded. He is certain that it is his most incorrect assumption ever. His marriage is an intricate balancing act and sometimes he almost wishes it was boring. He doesn't think that it ever will be.
He pulls on a pair of boxers and a t-shirt and stares at his husbands sleeping form. The doctor is curled on his side, facing the spot Sherlock is about to climb into. His left hand is absently reaching out into Sherlock's space, reaching out to touch his husband. Even when annoyed, even when asleep John is reaching out for him, the thought of that sends a wave of warmth through his body. It settles in his chest and the detective lets out a slow breath, savoring the feeling a moment before it goes. He sighs then, before making his way to bed and climbing in.
He settles on his back and isn't surprised when a moment later John rolls into him, tossing an arm onto his chest and burying his face into Sherlock's side. The detective runs his fingers through his husband's hair listening to quiet satisfied moan that it brings. He rests his hand there and settles back to sleep.
Sherlock wakes up, surprised that John isn't in bed with him. He listens for a minute, and hears nothing. None of the noises that John makes as he moves around in the morning. Sherlock climbs out of bed and heads downstairs. John isn't there either.
He's left early, a clear indication that he's still angry. That doesn't sit well with Sherlock at all. The detective begins to stomp around the flat, looking for his mobile. He needs to call his husband. The disappointed anger that John had gone to bed with is always so much worse than the yelling, heated anger. He hates to disappoint John.
He spots his phone on the counter in the kitchen and grabs it, barely noticing the plain white envelope underneath it. He's taken a step back towards the living room when he turns back to look at it. He sees his name written in John's familiar print. His chest seizes tight for a moment, but he talks himself out of it.
They've been married almost 4 years, 4 years in 2 weeks. He smiles at that, realizing it's closer and closer. After 4 years he's learned, finally, to trust that John just isn't going to leave him and he certainly wouldn't do so leaving just a note. Sherlock knows better and mentally chastises himself for doubting. He knows not to doubt. It's John.
He grabs the envelope and carries it into the living room. He considers calling John first, but John might ask him if he read the note. He runs his finger under the sealed flap and removes a sheet of paper. He recognizes it as coming from the pad of paper that is in the top right drawer of John's desk. Other than the fact that it's John there is nothing special about it.
He unfolds the page and sees the same familiar print. He runs his fingers over the blue inked Dear Sherlock written at the top of the page. He brings his knees up and sits back to read it.
Dear Sherlock,
I was unable to get the conversation we had last night out of my head. I truly hope that you know that my love for you is more complicated than a list of your physical attributes that I find appealing. But just in case I decided I'd give you the 5 that you ask for. As I said these aren't the top 5 by any means, other than the first one. Number 1 is what endears you to me the most, but as you'll see it isn't a simple one word thing. The entire list is fluctuating and too complicated for thousands of pages of writing.
These are just 5 that came to my head as I sat down to do this; they are by no means the only.
5. This one was easy to come up with as I navigated my way out of bed. I love waking up with you in the morning. I love that you are always touching me, usually lying across me. I love my Sherlock blanket. I love that you want me close even when you are asleep.
4. I love your intelligence. I love how you think, and learn, and experiment. I love how you work things out, deducing information about everything and everyone. But most importantly, I love that when your mind is all over the place, like during a case or a complex experiment, I'm what you use to ground yourself. I love when you are pacing and frantic and then suddenly come into the bedroom to make sure that I'm still home, that I'm still here. I love that on crime scenes as you analyze and compartmentalize you continually look at me or look for me if I'm in different room. I love that when you sulk, or get frustrated, or when your brain just wears you out and the adrenaline catches up with you that I'm the one you seek out to collapse against.
3. I love the sound of quiet violin notes. The instrument is so important to who you are and how you work, but you limit it because of me. I love waking up to a staggering of notes that the bow barely touching the strings couldn't contain. I love coming down the stairs and seeing you standing at the window wanting so badly to set the bow free and let the music pour out of you, but holding it in because of me and your desire not to disturb me. I love walking up behind you and wrapping my arms around your waist and placing a kiss against the spot where your back becomes your neck. I love that you wait until I turn my head and place my cheek between your shoulder blades before you start to play. I love that you know that I love to feel it as well as hear it. I love feeling the muscles in your back move as the bow moves across the strings. I love that in those moments you don't play your beloved Mozart or Vivaldi, but my favorites Beethoven or Puccini. I love hearing the aching notes of Nessun Dorma as they pulsate through your body and to my ear.
2. I love that you saved my life. I know you probably don't realize that, but you did. I don't mean literally. But after Afghanistan and before I met you I was lost. I felt alone and indifferent to everything. Then one day I met this dark-haired stranger who was equal parts charm and weird. You showed me how much life there is in everyday living, how horrible boring can be. And at the same time you've taught me to cherish the rare boring moments in between the chaos. You showed me, once again, that I had value, that I was important. You continue to do so, even when I'm being insufferably idiotic.
1. The thing I love most about you, that I appreciate almost every day is how hard you work at this. I know that a relationship, much less a marriage, is something that you never particularly wanted. It isn't something that comes easily to you and even when it's frustrating you continue to work at it. You, in your sometimes misguided sometimes awkward way, always try to be a good husband. You do things you don't want; you go to movies and pubs and will sit through obnoxious dinners with my army mates. You do it because it is important to me. I am the only birthday you remember, you'd forget yours if I didn't remind you. You remember the anniversary of every single thing in our relationship, without fail. I love that I and this relationship are the most important things you. I love that a scarred and worn out old army doctor is the center of the mad genius detective's world. Basically, I love that you love me. Thank you for that.
So there you go, 5 of the things I love about you. As much as I love our sex life, it isn't even close to being what I love best about you. I hope this helps you to understand why, and perhaps make you realize what it is that you really love most about me. I truly doubt that it's because of my skills in the bedroom.
I'm off to work, obviously, early because this didn't take as long as I thought it would. I'll see you tonight.
Sherlock sits in the chair and reads the note over and over. He stops counting after the fifth time. It is causing a series of complex emotional responses and he doesn't fully understand. He feels the warmth and happiness that he associates solely with John. He feels an ache for his husband, wanting to see him right now hold him. It's so strong that he's tempted to go to the clinic this very second. He won't though. That doesn't feel like the right thing.
He reads it again, being careful with the page, not wanting to crease it any more than it is. When he's done he looks around the room, spotting John's printer/scanner/copier in the corner. Until this moment he hated the cumbersome machine, but he stood and walked over to it. He lifted the lid and carefully set the letter inside. He hits the copy button and listens to the collection of noises as the machine comes to life, feeling a hot pulse of air hit his hand as it hangs next to one of the vents. After a minute and 28 seconds he is holding a copy of the letter. He removes the original and meticulously folds it along the creases that John had created. He returns it to his envelope and places it one of the plastic bags John packs his sandwiches in for lunch. He seals it, pressing out as much air as possible. He is well aware how easy paper can deteriorate. He is going to prevent that.
He climbs the stairs with his plastic bag in one hand and the copy of the letter in the other. He goes into their bedroom and sets the copy and the plastic bag gently on the bed. He pulls the small lock box they keep on the closet shelf down and opens it. It is a durable box, made to withstand fire. It has a false bottom where they kept their guns and passports. The rest of the important papers, insurance, wills, and things like that John keeps in a plastic bag in here. Sherlock adds the plastic bag containing the letter to the pile and replaces the box. He takes the copy of the letter and quickly reads it again. He smiles as he begins to fold it. When it's small enough, he goes to the dresser and opens his wallet. He tucks the copy into the back pocket, the same one where he keeps the picture of him and John.
He puts the wallet down and heads to the bathroom. He needs to shower before doing anything else. He thinks about his husband, and decides that he'll make him dinner. John shouldn't have to work all day and then make dinner. John likes beans on toast and Sherlock is positive he can figure out how to make that.

|St Neots Head
We had a lovely day at St. Neots Head of the River. Once the fog cleared we had a sunny and warm day with ideal rowing conditions.
All of the crews rowed well although some managed to find their way out of the fast stream thus loosing some time.Of the 28 Leicester juniors competing, this was the first event for 7 of them.
They all enjoyed themselves.We had one club win, this was the WJ18 4x- who beat 3 other crews in their event. We also had a few second placed crews.

The Bible and the Saints
Flammarion, 1994 - Art - 360 pages
Throughout centuries of European history, the legends of the Bible and the saints have provides an extraordinary source of artistic inspiration. Yet the full complexity of their representation and iconography often remains unknown, even to the most erudite art specialists.
This fully illustrated volume-the first in a series of easy-to-use and authoritative Flammarion Iconographic Guides-identifies over five hundred Christian saints and other characters from the Old and New Testaments, providing clear and precise definitions of the attributes by which they are known in Western and Byzantine art.
Further subjects covered include the apocrypha, significant religious scenes, and the rich and fascinating symbolism associated with objects, numbers, colors, and a complete bestiary of both real and imaginary beasts-the lion and the lamb, the dragon and the unicorn.
The extraordinary array of visual material, drawn exclusively from paintings, engravings, manuscripts, and sculptures from the early Christian era to the Counter-Reformation, and an extensive system of cross-references make this handy and beautifully designed guide an invaluable resource for scholars, students, travellers, museum-goers, and anyone interested in discovering the full significance of the greatest masterpieces of European art.

Wednesday Evening Dinar Chatter
BOBGETZ6] FYI As we get closer to a possible rv, there is something that will be a must. You must have at least two forms of ID. A photo ID such as a drivers license and a copy of a utility bill proving residence will work. I will use my drivers license, voter's registration card, a current electicity bill, and a proof of automobile insurance card. I tend to over prepare, but at least I won't lose my cash in position.
[goin4broke] BOBGETZ6 On detectives even Adam "10 cents" Montana is excited.
[Sparkles] goin4broke Thats interesting lol
[BOBGETZ6] goin4broke That would be a WOW!
amVox] BOBGETZ6 Why would you need a utility bill proving residence?
[Sparkles] bbme I wish this was really something we are going to do in the next couple of days
Read More Link on Right
[BOBGETZ6] JamVox First of all, you are cashing in a large amount of foreign currency for a significant amount. Homeland Security wants to keep drug dealers, etc. out of the cash in procedure. Making sure that you are who you say you are, The utility bill just proves residence which is the same as your driver's license.
[sananddan24] Guys I know everyone is tired but we will be sooo very happy when it happen once this hit, kinda like a pregnant woman the stress and pain of bearing a child but once the child is delivered she forgets all the agony and is filled with joy when she sees her child!

[chrivers] connect tha dots, la la la lala, connect tha dots, La la la lala!! :)

[paradisegirl] highlander65 odd that the article said it was his first time there since troop withdrawal. More smoke. His official schedule reads "no public schedule" for this entire week.
highlander65] paradisegirl well okay so I guess I was fooled but do they actually always tell you with the Pres and VP is all the time? I would think that would be a security issue if they did.
[paradisegirl] highlander65 no, wasn't saying you were fooled, he probably went there this past weekend. The smoke was the part about it being his first time there since troop withdrawal. He's been there since then.
[highlander65] paradisegirl ok well they can't say where these guys are exactly ever
[Remi8] mr_shoemake Yes, please do that --- you might also need to take him to see a doctor.
[paradisegirl] highlander65 you are right, we wouldn't know he was there until he was back.
[highlander65] paradisegirl and even then who knows
[NuffSaid] cruiser good to see you. Just curious if you feel US politics is holding this up.
[Tenizen] cruiser On a scale of Obama to Romney, how likely are we to see to see the RV happen before the 1st?..... TRICK QUESTION! They are politicians, they always make empty promises. LOL(No offense intended!)
[badgerbill] My prediction is right after the GOP convention.....we will see "O" release the C/E...to distract attention from "R"....just my spin......

Late Saturday Night Dinar Chatter
[chattels] I am reading where some commentators are saying that Maliki loses his powers as Prime Minister on the 15th when a "caretaker government" begins. My understanding is that in a parliamentary form of government that the incumbent government is the " caretaker government " until the next government is seated and of course that would mean that Maliki is the chief executive until replaced by a new government.

Jester's Place:
[Jester] HI EVERYONE... HOWS IT GOING TONIGHT?
[Jester] I JUST THOUGHT I'D POP IN AND SEE WHAT IT GOING ON... HAHAHAH...
[Hannah] Jester Hello. Could you please refresh my memory. What is the dollar value of the bonds held by the Chinese?
[Jester] Hannah WELL DEPENDS ON WHAT BONDS YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT...
[Hannah] Jester Oh ... well, I was trying to figure out how much of the $17.5 trillion national debt might be relieved by the bonds. I guess I don't know the types of bonds they hold
[Jester] Hannah IF MEMORY SERVES THE DEBT GOES LIKE THIS..
[Jester] ABOUT $10T IS OWNED BYT PRIVATE INVESTORS, CORPORATIONS, STATE GOVERNMENTS AND EVEN SOME LOCAL GOVERNMENTS... AND YES FORIEGN COUNTRIES...
[Jester] CHINA IS THE BIGGEST OWNER AND I BELIEVE THEY HAVE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN $1.2T AND $1.5T AT THIS TIME...
[chasen] Jester if the fed loaned paper backed by nothing why do we owe it back at face value with interest?
[Jester] SO JUST AROUND 10% OF OUR TOTAL DEBT...
[Hannah] Jester Gosh ... I was way off on that. I thought it was much more. Thanks
[Jester] In total, China owns about 8 percent of publicly held U.S. debt. Of all the holders of U.S. debt China is the third-largest, behind only the Social Security Trust Fund's holdings of nearly $3 trillion and the Federal Reserve's nearly $2 trillion holdings in Treasury investments, purchased as part of its quantitative easing program to boost the economy.
[Jester] WHAT IS REALLY SCREWED UP IN THE FED OWNING PART OF IT...
[jackinback] Jester If they own part of it, that must costing us out the Wazoo....
[Jester] jackinback THE FED BUYS THE BONDS... WONDER HOW MUCH THAT IS COSTING... LIKE LOANING MONEY TO YOURSELF AND CHARGING SOMEONE ELSE THE INTEREST....
[Hannah] I guess I thought China owned much more of the debt because I understood that we could not repay them if they should call the debt due. I didn't know about the Fed. Argh!
[Jester] Hannah I DOUBT WE COULD PAY THEM... EVEN THAT AMOUNT IS A STRETCH...
[Hannah] Jester Will that debt be paid after the exchange process is complete. Surely the numbers will be there then, right?
[Jester] Hannah HMMM... HARD TO SAY... I A, NOT PRIVY TO ALL THE PARTICULAR DETAILS AND SIDE DEALS BEING MADE... A LOT OF IT WILL DEPEND HOW SUPPORTIVE THE PEEPS ARE FOR CERTAIN THINGS...
[lurkerinvested] Jester is that why they are talking about going after 401 K and Ira's?
[Jester] lurkerinvested YEAH... SO I TOOK ALL MY MONEY OUT AND SPENT IT... HAHAHAH...
[Jester] YOU CAN BET THIS... WE HAVE NOT MESSED WITH THEM FROM OUR STANDPOINT HARDLY AT ALL... BUT YOU TRY TO MESS WITH THE 50% THAT ARE GETTING FREE STUFF AND YOU WILL SEE A REVOLUTION... THEY EXPECT THE GOVERNMENT TO TAKE CARE OF THEM... THAT IS THE MATIX THEY ARE ACCUSTOMED TO LIVING IN...
[Jester] SAD BUT TRUE... THEY ARE THE ONLY ONES TALKING... AND IF YOU SAY ANYTHING YOU ARE A HEEL OR A RACIST...
[jackinback] That is just how the GOV likes to keep it....
[Jester] IT WAS ALL DESIGNED THAT WAY TO KEEP YOU UNDER THEIR THUMB...
[Jester] LOOKS LIKE WE ARE ABOUT OUT OF TIME... THANKS FOR COMING IN... SEE YOU TOMORROW...

Negative temperature
Dear All! I need some help. I try to calculate shock tube problem when the high pressure chamber is filled with gas-particle dispersion. I use Mac-Cormack method with implicit account of interaction terms.
When I've used isothermal approach everything worked fine. When I've added energy equation I got negative temperatures and pressures after the shock wave at the beginning. Later on proper shock wave forms. Additionally I need very small CFL numbers ~ 0.05 whereas for isothermal case 0.2-0.3 was good. I am trying to simulate high pressure drops 20-40 MPa.
Any suggestions?
Re: Negative temperature
What kind of artificial viscosity are you using?
Re: Negative temperature
I use the term eps*(V_i+1 - 2*V_i + V_i-1) in momentum equation and play with eps. V is gas velocity.
Re: Negative temperature
The problem is solved now. I've added TVD to Mac-Cormack method and temperature behaves properly.
Now there is one more issue. I have a closed end of the high pressure chamber. The material of the wall is metal with high conductivity. The behaviour of the pressure at the wall (which we measure) strongly depends on temperature BC. I've tried constant temperature and adiabatic wall. The real one should be in between. Could you help me with a proper BC for the temperature?

Welcome to Part 3 of our series about designing outdoor spaces. I, along with my compadre, Landscape Architect, Mike Flaugh, are exploring all things related to exterior design, outdoor living spaces, and landscaping in a series of conversations on each of our blogs. We'll be covering a lot of ground here (no pun intended!)- don't miss an update. Sign up to receive our email brainstorms of love…..and thank you!
Last week, in Part 2 of our series, Mike expertly took us through some of the preliminary steps necessary to get your outdoor space design started. With your site analysis complete you should have a pretty clear idea about what you want to do with your exterior space and where you can do it. Let's refine and define a bit more and get inspired.
Define your Outdoor "Room" by giving it a purpose.
Will you be dining? Cooking? Lounging with a book? Showering? Swimming? Meditating or exercising? Potting, crafting, or (my husband's favorite- egad!) cleaning fish?
Keep in mind that most of these activities will require access to water and possibly electricity. Dining areas should be kept relatively close to the main house with an easy path to the kitchen, otherwise they will most likely never get used. Summer kitchens are great. Pay careful attention to where you place your grill. Give it plenty of ventilation and keep it far enough away from your house entrances to keep smoke and smells from billowing into the house.
Define a "room" by giving it "walls."
"Walls" can be natural features, like hedge lines and trees, and also man-made features such as stacked stone walls, fences, rows of potted plants, living plant walls, glass walls, and my personal favorite- outdoor drapes.
Define a "room" by giving it a "floor."
Grass, mulch, pavers, bricks, tile, shell stone, and outdoor rugs are used to create activity zones and anchor furniture groupings.
Define a "room" by giving it a "roof."
A "roof" can be a natural feature, such as a large shade tree. Perhaps your architecture has been blessed with a covered patio area- that's great! In addition to that, an inviting outdoor room can be created with umbrellas, canopies, thatched tiki huts, wooden trellises entwined with flowering vines, or shade sails.
What are some clever ways you've defined your outdoor havens? Leave a comment, and be sure to sign up for more inspiration delivered right to your inbox.
Stay tuned for Part 4 when Mike takes up our favorite summertime topic again.

Dele Alli compared to Paul Gascoigne by former Tottenham striker Teddy Sheringham
Dele Alli has an "aura about him" akin to Paul Gascoigne, according to Tottenham and England legend Teddy Sheringham.
Alli was incredibly impressive in England's friendly with Germany, proving the stand-out player in a memorable comeback win in Berlin.
The Tottenham player, who came on as a late substitute in Tuesday night's defeat to the Netherlands, appears almost guaranteed a starting role for England in this summer's Euro 2016 tournament.
Sheringham, who played 51 times for England, says Alli reminds him of former England midfielder Gascoigne.
"He's looking a player. I thought he was outstanding in Germany," Sheringham said of Alli at Carlsberg's UEFA 2016 trophy tour.
"He had that aura about him in Berlin that Paul Gascoigne had about him at the beginning of his career. It was almost if Dele Alli was saying: 'Come and try and get the ball off me. And even if you've got the ball I'll nick it off you then I'm going to wander away from you and you won't get it off me.'
"Gazza used to do that. It had a lovely feel to it I was very impressed. You can't coach that kind of mentality and self belief it was in Gazza and Dele Alli seems to have something similar."
England 1 Netherlands 2 player ratings
Fraser Forster: 6 out of 10
A pair of impressive saves in the second period were enough to suggest that Forster will be more than adequate as a reserve to Joe Hart.
2016 Getty Images
Kyle Walker: 7 out of 10
Looked no less defensively suspect than Nathaniel Clyne had against superior German opposition though when he got forward England looked a far more dangerous attacking outfit, as typified by his calm assist for Vardy's opener.
2016 Getty Images
Chris Smalling: 6 out of 10
Scarcely put a foot wrong throughout, making several useful interceptions and looking solid in the air. It should however be noted that the inexperienced Dutch frontline didn't offer much to test him.
2016 Getty Images
John Stones: 5 out of 10
His display didn't necessarily tell us much we didn't already know about him. At times Stones ease on the ball allows him to prompt attacking moves from deep, at others it sees him play himself into trouble in the most blasé manner, as when he slipped in the build-up to the Dutch penalty. Perhaps that makes him too much of a liability for the high stakes of tournament football.
2016 Getty Images
Danny Rose: 7 out of 10
Strengthened his bid for a starting spot against Russia with another impressive display both in attack and defence. Quincy Promes asked questions of him early on but he rose to the test, providing pace and direct running on the counter. However, he was fortunate not to give away a penalty in the first half and was guilty of a hand-ball in the box which led to Netherlands equaliser in the second.
2016 Getty Images
James Milner: 6 out of 10
Seems like a hangover from the bad old days of pedestrian football under Fabio Capello. There's no shortage of hard work but an alarming lack of anything worth getting out of your seat. He'll do a job in the squad but can't expect to start.
2016 Getty Images
Danny Drinkwater: 6 out of 10
More than anyone else he will wish this game had seen a higher tempo from both sides. The Leicester man had little opportunity to show much beyond a degree of consistency and intelligence on the ball.
2016 Getty Images
Ross Barkley: 7 out of 10
The start of the game was a tough one for Barkley, who was forced to drop ever deeper to collect possession. But he caught life around the half hour, offering the full range of powerful running, smart passing and a willingness to shoot.
2016 Getty Images
Adam Lallana: 8 out of 10
Showed what makes him a unique player in Hodgson's setup on the way to Vardy's goal. The composure to turn down a shot and find the overlapping Walker ensured a half-chance became a certain goal.
2016 Getty Images
Daniel Sturridge: 6 out of 10
Flashes of promise throughout, including an impressive reverse pass to James Milner. He looks as confident as ever though, he just didn't get the chances to show off his finishing skills.
2016 Getty Images
Jamie Vardy: 8 out of 10
Has evidently brought the poacher's instinct he shows at club level to the international stage, finding the perfect position to slot home for England's opener. His pace gave Jeffrey Bruma all sorts of problems throughout the evening in an impressive display.
2016 Getty Images
OFF THE BENCH – Theo Walcott: 7 out of 10
Evidently knew he had to impress if he is to have any hopes of making the Euros and looked bright, firing a shot over after a dangerous and direct run.
2016 Getty Images
OFF THE BENCH – Nathaniel Clyne: 6 out of 10
Made little impression from an unfamiliar berth on the left flank, though Hodgson will be encouraged by his versatility on both sides of the pitch.
2016 Getty Images
OFF THE BENCH – Harry Kane: 6 out of 10
In his 17 minutes on the pitch there were plenty of moments where he dragged the Dutch defence out of position but no real chances fell his way.
2016 Getty Images
OFF THE BENCH – Phil Jagielka: 6 out of 10
Certainly deserved a free-kick after being barged off the ball by Vincent Jannsen for the second but is it unreasonable to ask whether he could have stayed on his feet?

7.1 mn people are currently suffering from famine in the Sahel. It would be naïve to think that all of them will make it through the winter. We thought that we had passed headlines about famine to history, but in fact they are bound to become our future if we don't give up two myths. One is that modern agriculture is efficient. The other is that development means urbanization. These thoughts are illusions, and until we drop them, we will only move closer to a very hungry world.
Conventional agriculture is not efficient
Above is a top of the line combine from John Deere. Machines like these are useless on small fields. Big fields require pesticides. Lands treated with pesticides demand fertilizers. The combine must have oil. That is the ecological cycle of conventional agriculture, also known as agribusiness. Except, it is not really a cycle...
In spite of deploying few people to produce fantastic yields, conventional agriculture is not efficient in the relevant sense of the word. A study in the Phillipines showed that
Growing rice the organic method was 4 times more energy efficient than the conventional method. The organic method is defined as farmers who
no longer apply chemical fertilizer and pesticides. Instead, they practice rice straw recycling, use green manure crops (Azolla, Sesbania); and raise livestock (ducks, swine, cattle or carabao) to produce on-farm the manure which they apply in their farm as fresh manure or prepared into compost. In other words - the farmers who used imporved methods that they had inhereited from pre-industrial times were more efficient than their pseudo-modernized collegues.
Several studies have come to the similar conclusions. Labour intensive organic farming is more energy efficient, more secure and sometimes even give bigger yields. Lim Li Ching writes on the Institute of Science in Society's homepage:
Projects in Senegal involving 2000 farmers promoted stall-fed livestock, composting systems, use of green manures, water harvesting systems and rock phosphate. Yields of millet and peanuts increased dramatically, by 75-195% and 75-165% respectively. Because the soils have greater water retaining capacity, fluctuations in yields are less pronounced between high and low rainfall years.
The World Food Program cites errant rainfall as one of the reasons to the latest hunger catastrophe in the Sahel... it is clear that conventional agriculture has nothing to offer the world's hungry.
Poverty in the countryside feeds urbanization
For traditional farmers, the competition from agribusiness is killing. Since the headquartes of agribusinesses like other businesses are situated in the cities, the profits from the bigger yields leave the countryside. In a country like Sweden. the contryside populations relies largely on tourism and state- or EU support. As the wealth grows in the cities, poverty grows on the countryside, which draws people away from there to the city, where they (hopefully) work for a living and buy their food instead.
The UN's World Urbanization Prospects states that by now more than half of the world's population live in cities - more people live in the countryside in the developing world than in developed countries. In 2025 more than half of the the population in what is today the developing world will live in cities, and by 2050 68.70 % of the world's total population will live in cities.
Since people must eat, that means one of two things - either these cities must be self-sufficient in food production, or the third of the population still living in the countryside must produce food for all the rest.
Cities have never been self-sufficient, and it seems unlikely that they will ever be. With radically different eating habits it would maybe be possible in a city like Lund with 300 inhabitants/km2. But how could it be possible in Kolkata with the staggering 29,650 inhabitants/km2? Kolkata is the world's most densly populated city. It is a safe bet that by 2050 less people than today will eat the food that they have grown themselves. And that is the very idea of progress - already Adam Smith noted that the wealth of a nation grows when people divide their labour. If the farmer farms and the blacksmith hammers out the nails while the programmist sips jolt cola in front of the computer screen, all of them are more eficient and get more wealth to share in the end.
Smith is obviously right about this. Just take a look around. Wherever you sit in the world, you are likely to see an affluence that your parents or grandparents could never dream of. This is largely due to industrialization and a greater division of labour. The problem with deploying Smith's ideas today is that his classic work The Wealth of Nations was published already in 1776. Smith could never have predicted how the use of oil would change the economic dynamics.
Urbanization is not sustainable
Unfortunately, it is not the human intellect that has made the the affluence around you possible. It is not human toil that has allowed almost all of us to move to the cities. It is all about oil. Subsidized oil has made transports cheap, and has decoupled the food production from social life. For my salad I might use spanish tomatoes, dutch lettuce and bulgarian cheese. For my mother's birthday I could have bought a kenyan flower. These products are all taken to my store by the use of oil. Without oil, the cities would be very sad places to live. But if transports was the only problem, we would be better off than we are.
The Swedish author Gunnar Lindstedt writes that in terms of working hours the industrialized agriculture produces
40 times more food than it did before the advent of oil. But working hours was the way we measured work in Smith's time. The man or woman who drives the John Deere combine above is not necessarily more intelligent, skilled or hard working than his or her ancestors. It is the oil in the tank that does the work. In a world where 7.1 Million people are allowed to starve, it seems seems murderous to critizise an 40% increase in food production. But the other side of the coin is that without oil the current working hours in agriculture will produce 40% less food. That is really scary. Especially for those living in the cities, who have no other means of obtaining food than paying for it. The prices they pay are very closely related to the price of oil as the charts below show (Be aware of the different dates). The situation gets critical when oil costs more than 100 USD / barrel - and at one point it becomes impossible to produce food and sell it as a commodity with profit, if you use oil for production and transport. That will be the end of agribusiness. Spanish tomatoes will not be avaliable in my store any more. Neither will there be enough rice in Kolkata.
Peak Oil
When are we running out of oil? Recently Lloyds and Chatham house published a study, that warnes businesses to adapt as soon as possible. Paul Stevens from Chatham house calculates that the lack of oil will push oil prices above 200 USD / barrel before 2020. The impact of such a price hike on food prices is easy to imagine. In 2008 a hike to 125 USD/barrel led to riots and political crises. It will affect much more than 7.1 million people. Worst hit will be the poor in the cities, exactly the same people who are now leaving their rural lives behind. What Chatham house and Lloyd's report says is that within decades, they will need their lands back. A prioritized task for policy makers should be to assure that they get them back.
But why not simply substitute oil for something else? It is not easily done. We can easily heat our homes with other kinds of energy, but it is hard to imagine a global transport system that runs on wind power or coal. Sailing ships and steam boats? Why not, but they would hardly sustain the current levels of exports and imports. There is of course one easy fix - to run motors on ethanol in stead of gas. But almost immediately after trying that we saw the food crisis of 2008, casued on one hand by high oil prices, and on the other by fertile grounds being used for ethanol production. With a growing population, we will need to use those fertile land even more.
Algae is maybe a more promising substitute. But the technology is still experimental, and at the moment more energy is spent on making algae into fuel than the give as fuel. Unless this research takes a giant leap forward, we will have to do with the fastest growing source of energy - human labour.
Without oil we will need 40 times as many people working in agriculture as today. It doesn't necerssarily mean a return to the middle ages - only a return to economical realities. We know more about biology and agriculture than we did a two hundred years ago, and we exchange information faster than ever. What Smith shows is that the only force that can ever help us is human innovations, not oil. Unlike agriculture, the internet can easily be maintained with other sources of energy, so maybe the future countryside will be populated with self-sufficient netizens?
More people in agriculture can mean that people move back to the countryside. This is not uncommon in history, quite recently it happened in eastern Europe after the fall of communism(PDF link), and it will no doubt happen to some extent. But wew can also redefine what a city is. The problem is not the number of inhabitants per se, but the population density. Cities could work as clusters of smaller, largely self-sufficient towns. The city landscape could be used much more productively than it is used today. We can grow food on rooftops, balconies and in shipping containers, becoming a lot more self-sufficient than today. The borders between cities and countryside will become blurred - and hopefully the internet can preserve the best of our oil-dependent urban civilization. And make labour-intensive farmwork profitable.
A hungry man is an angry man, but a man who fears hunger is innovative. I do not doubt that mankind will adapt to a world without oil pretty fast when it is forced to, but probably not one day too early. The current pattern with less and less people producing food for more and more consumers is not sustainable. We should start thinking now about how we can turn urbanization trends around. Developing countries should beware of making the same mistakes as developed countries has made - and fortunately this seems to be more and more acknowledged. I think the key is to keep agriculture depending on human labour rather than oil, but improving access to services like healthcare and education in the countryside.
We already live after peak oil. Adapting to that doesn't require money. It only requires our time, dedication and intelligence. But I think it will also be fun.

An education ensures a stable, productive life.
Teens who never had a proper education now have a second chance, thanks to the efforts of Legacy World Missions and its partner in Uganda, the New Hope Vocational School. In addition to a basic education and life skills training, kids learn a vocation that will enable them to support their own family someday. Boys can choose among agriculture, carpentry or masonry, while girls can learn agriculture, tailoring, cosmetology or catering.
Legacy World Missions helps to pay for teachers' salaries, as well as supplies like blackboards. When they complete their studies, tailoring students receive 'graduation kits' consisting of a sewing machine and the materials they'll need to immediately start a business and earn a living.
In many parts of Africa, girls typically receive no education at all, which is why our educational initiatives are especially important. Each extra year of primary school boosts a girl's eventual wages by up to 20 percent. Girls who receive more education grow up to marry later, and deliver healthier babies. And when females earn their own income, they reinvest 90 percent of it into their families.

I've almost got 1,000 total video views on YouTube now, which sounds cool,
but isn't that much considering I've uploaded 85 videos at the moment, lol
Still a little exciting. Gotta get past a couple obstacles, then maybe more people will see.
Support me and help me out by checking out my channel!
Subscribe if you think I deserve it or make content good enough, lol
I became a YouTube partner!
So now I'm drawing things for my video thumbnails.
If you haven't checked them out yet, lookie here!
Let me know what you think!
Be my little demon today: http://www.youtube.com/ColonelMagus
There's a collaboration going on called Just Another Monday, and I've been doing some voices in it.
I've been voicing for both Riott and ReklessCreati0n.
Make sure to keep your eyes peeled cause it's gonna be hilarious!
If you are a fan of either Devil May Cry, awesome music, demons, uber graphics and crazy talk,
you might want to watch my Let's Play Devil May Cry video.
Currently there is only one video because I haven't uploaded more yet, but there will definitely be more.
Here's my channel: http://www.youtube.com/ColonelMagus
Here's the first episode of Devil May Cry
Woot woot!
I'm not sure if I'm gonna do it or not, since I don't really draw that much, but it could help me as I'm interested in digital design and such. So I'm thinking of buying a Yiynova msp19u, but it's kind of expensive, and I don't know how much I'd be using it.
It costs more in Europe because of we have a more healthy economy than the US. In America it goes for about $500, but in Europe it goes for about $900. But it's definitely a much better deal than the Wacom Cintiq, so I'm thinking about it.
Any thoughts?
I'm currently recording Let's Plays of a game that has left fans with both good and bad impressions!
I've currently recorded 3 episodes so far, and I'm rendering the first one to make it ready for YouTube.
Keep an eye on my YouTube channel and follow me on Twitter for updates!
Hello there,
The animation of the first project I joined is now live.
I know that the quality of my voice in this wasn't that good because I had just started as a voice actor,
but later after that I learned how to properly record and remove noise, so later episodes should sound much better.
Btw, I voiced the old guys in the start and Nathan, the black haired teen guy.
I want to improve my YouTube videos and channel, what do you think I should do?
I'd like to improve but also make people enjoy watching my videos more and make it more appealing.
Leave comments under telling me what you think is a good suggestion.
Here's my channel: http://www.youtube.com/ColonelMagus
Suggestions can be many, here's a few examples:
- Should I make my videos shorter, shorter or keep them the same length?
- Should I play more games? (Leave game suggestions in comments.)
- Should I make a new YouTube channel background?
You can ask and suggest pretty much anything.
I've been waiting for this one for a while.
But the package is finally here and I'm happy to say that I have received
"The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Collector's Edition" in the mail today!
I Got:
- The game of course, which is for Xbox 360.
- The art book where they have put in several pieces of concept art and pretty much all kinds of experiments, examples, ideas, sketches and images of 3D models.
- The big ass statue of Alduin hanging over a word wall!
Speaking of Skyrim, I've been spending a bit of time lately making Let's Plays,
so if you haven't checked them out.
go do it now, or baby Jesus will disapprove of you!
Here's a picture for your viewing pleasure!
I'm glad to see that my views and subscriber numbers are starting to kick up a little.
But I'm still wondering a little what kind of games you'll want to watch me play.
At the moment I'm considering Haunt, Zelda: Majora's Mask and DmC.
My Channel: www.youtube.com/ColonelMagus
And I really really appreciate if you share this link with others!
Also, which of the current games do you want to see more of?
(Happy Wheels, Skyrim, Pokemon Black)

looks great! I just wish I had done anything.
Well done. A bit of work with HUGE rewards to come.
Your cages look really nice. They give some colour to the beds. Well, I'm far from starting to plant, but I am planning on planting some basil for my window today! Have to do some planting on the first day of spring! :)
Looks wonderful. Cucumbers sound perfect for the last bed, then I'd tuck in marigolds and nasturtiums to draw in the pollinators, drive off the predatory bugs and add wonderful flowers. Nasturtiums are edible too, besides being beautiful.
Coming along nicely.
I got 8 pepper plants this morning along with my sweet baby finger carrots.
Last year it was April before planting anything so yes, this year it's much earlier.
Reached 91 deg. for a high today. Beautiful day for the First day of Spring.
Hooray for you! Looks to me like you were pretty good with the follow through!
I love your colorful updates on the farm. I'm no gardener, so I have great appreciation for your talent and work.
Looking great! We have along way before it's warm enough to plant basil but I do love making pesto, freezing it in ice cube trays and using it the rest of the year. I tend to plant too much but my daughter in law is a chef who loves taking all the extras. Keep up the hard work! (But never forget to take the ice tea breaks as well)
You got a lot of work done - everything looks great! It will grow really fast with all this sunshine and warmth.
I usually wait until the end of March to plant my okra because it likes warm soil - well, since Spring came early this year, I planted my okra along with the rest of my vegetables and herbs. I'll do a second planting of green beans and squash in about a week, to stagger the production.
1st Man,
Looks really good 1st Man! I'm excited to see you have everything in the ground, and you're prepared for the rainy season there in Texas.
I pray you have a healthy harvest of vegetables and herbs this year.
Looks grateful and a good plan on growing as well. Can't wait to see what you get this year, you guys did so well last year.
WEEEE!!!!!! So happy for you. I'm itching to get growing here in Maryland, but, alas, I have to wait until mid-May to get things into the ground. I love the red cages!! Everything looks great!
Hey, it's never too late, maybe some herbs in a container?
That's the plan, we hope, ha.
Thanks!! I bought some large red coated tomato cages at the local big box store (they had red, yellow, blue and green) and we liked the look so much, I found some more specialized ones for different plants that were the same red vinyl coated. They fold up for Winter so they've been great so far. And it's nice to have the color and fun to have them match.
Hope you get to play in the dirt!!
Definitely marigolds, LOVE them, so pretty and they do well here, I will look into nasturtiums, edible is a win win right? Thanks!!
it's flirted with high 80's here. Yep, we started late last year, glad to be ahead of the game a bit here this season.
THANK YOU! I'm sticking to our plan this year. It's becoming a bit easier each season as we get more of the infrastructure done.
OH, you are too sweet. Hey, I just post and hope that maybe it helps someone or gives someone inspiration or is at least interesting, ha. Thanks!!!
Mid may!!! Wow!! We'll be 90's in mid may, ha. The red cages were a great find. Bought them at Gardeners Supply. Found some at a big box store and just went from there to get the ones for different types of veggies.
Post above from when I got them. Thanks again!! Hope you get to play in the dirt soon!!
Thank you!!! Last year wasn't too bad. Hoping for enough to keep us eating them as they come in. We'll see. Thanks again!!
Thank you for the thoughts, we'll see how it goes! I can't wait to see what y'all do at your new place. Ugh and the rainy season is coming (like your stormy tornado season too, be safe). Thank you!
Oh pesto is so good, We made it a couple of times last year but used it all each time. Nothing to freeze. I might stick another plant in the ground and grow some more. Is there such a thing as too much pesto? Ha.
Ice tea breaks often. My favorite drink of refreshment out there.
I will remember that about okra in the future but you're right, Spring is early for us in these parts so I'll see about that going in soon. We'll see how it all goes.
