Cemetery notes and/or description:
Originally the Howeth Family Cemetery, the first to be buried here were Thomas and Louisa Howeth, young children of William and Harriet Howeth. William deeded the ten acre cemetery to Cooke County in 1868. In 1878 Cooke County turned over the site to the City of Gainesville in a 999 year lease. The cemetery's name was changed in 1897 to East Hill Cemetery, and later in 1904 the name was changed again to Fairview Cemetery. A separate Jewish cemetery adjoined the site from 1881 until 1964 when the two cemetery's were combined. A chapel and sexton's office were constructed in 1938 at a cost of $6,296. Fairview Cemetery is comprised of 85 acres and over 20,000 graves.

Sarah, glad to see I'm not alone. This shoot has always creeped me out. Weird robotic looks, based in a garden of eden that looks eerily lush and fake. Here comes the Stepford Edward! ;-)

- pauleta said...
This is for me until today the most beautiful shoot from rob. This turn me on. Really really gorgeous. Everything is in the eyes. He dosn't seems to pose. Everything is natural. Just lovely. Eyes porno, Jaw porno, fonger porno. You can't do better than this. Maybe you can.

Dear Rob,
I'm sorry to hear that the pap situation has gotten unbearable for you. Have heart and know that your truest and dearest fans here will always have your best interest at heart and will do the little things we can to "protest" for you.
I don't know where you are but I hope you're not still in the U.S.
Go home,get de-Americanized and de-Hollywood. Eat some good food, breathe lots of fresh London air, and get well-rested. Then come back and give a killer performance on Bel Ami so you can stun the critics and get de-Twilighted. - December 8, 2009 at 12:41 AM
- jmm4832 said...
How do I love thee Robert? Let me count the ways - sexy bedroom eyes, sexy cheekbones, sexy jaw line, sexy chest hair and arms. Sexy long fingers...the list goes on and on! It reminds me of that ole Carpenter song. "On the day when you were born the angels got together, and decided to create a dream come true. So they sprinkled moondust in your hair of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue."

Oh yeah BAaaaaaaby! Robert! Doll! you got it goin' on sweet baby love! Wow this guy is so delicious I just don't have the words and yeah, when he did the slo-mo strip through the door into the sun...there weren't many girls screaming, we were collectively gasping for breath as we lost it when he did that...kid you not. No one in the theatre could breathe until the next scene and then it was him grabbing Bella and kissing her! He is something that I don't think many of us have ever seen on film, in the theatre, or in print. He reminds me of no one I can think of right off the bat and I have watched good looking men in movies since I was 6! And I remember and I remember that I knew a great looking male when I saw one. Sean connery, Pierce Brosnan, Gerard butler, Chris Bale, etc...etc...etc. But No one has even come close to Robs delicious gorgeousness. he is a phenomenon that I don't think we will see again. Until he has a boy child of course. God I'm gonna cry when that happens.
and sparkle that is a word in my language also...;)
Lisa J. - December 8, 2009 at 8:05 PM

jmm yeah! my thoughts exactly...the carpenters song about there being an angel involved with the fancying up of Robs face and body! absolutely! And the song lyrics fit so well it's not even funny!
- December 8, 2009 at 8:11 PM
- lmjabara said...
Close to you is the song jmm...'that is why, all the girls in town...follow you...all around! Just like me, they long to be, close to you!' How true and funny that almost 30 years later a song has the perfect lyrics for our young, sweet, perfect, Mr. Pattinson. It's like the Carpenters wrote that song for Rob and it brought him into existance. Yayy!!!!!

Oldbury Power Station
Oldbury Naite, Thornbury, Gloucestershire, BS35 1RQ
Oldbury was the first operating nuclear power station in the world, opening in 1967. In November 2011, Oldbury was among only 54 organisations to be awarded the British Safety Council's Sword of Honour.
Originally due to close in 2008, the site was finally decommissioned on 29th February 2012.
How to get here from Stokefield Close:
Road: Turn right into Castle Street, then straight across the roundabout and bear left on the B4061. Turn left when you reach Butt Lane, and the left again onto Oldbury Lane towards Oldbury-on-severn. Turn right onto Foss Lane and this leads to the power station (currently signposted for the visitors centre but these may be removed soon). (4.6 miles, 11m) +
Car Park (for visiting the nature trail)
This location is private and has no or limited access only. The power station is private, but you can walk around the outside on a nature trail that is open to the public. Please note the visitor centre has been closed since 2006 though signs are still up for it!

The 15,000 or so fans (announced attendance) who entered the Marriott Center on Wednesday night expected a blowout, and a blowout is what they got. The Cougars routed Prairie View A&M 100-52 in Provo, leading by as many as 54 points to improve to 8-3 heading into Saturday's showdown at much-improved Utah (8-1). "It was a terrible game from our standpoint," said PVAMU coach Byron Rimm II. "BYU shot the heck out of the ball. We went out with our hands down. We didn't do a good job of containing. We didn't talk on defense. We were shell-shocked the whole game, and it showed. We have a lot of work to do to play at the level of BYU. They did a good job. They're a great basketball ... |

The BYU-Utah football series is taking a two-year break, and won't be played in 2014 or 2015 unless the teams happen to meet in a bowl game. Now comes word that the BYU-Utah basketball series might not be played every year in the very near future. For sure, the Cougars and Utes will play on Saturday at the Huntsman Center on the University of Utah campus. Tipoff is at 8 p.m. and the game will be televised by the Pac-12 Network. They are contracted to play next year in Provo on the second Saturday of December. But on his weekly coaches show on KSL Radio on Tuesday night, BYU coach Dave Rose said talks to continue the series beyond that have stalled. "Coach [Jim] Boyle... |

The BYU Cougars are preparing to face an interim coach (Marques Tuiasosopo) in the Fight Hunger Bowl on Dec. 27 against the Washington Huskies. Washington's coach, Steve Sarkisian, has accepted the head coaching job at USC. Boise State's coach Chris Petersen, will take over at Washington next year. Tuesday, Chip Brown of Orangebloods.com, a Rivals.com site that covers Texas, reported that sources have told him that 16-year Texas coach Mack Brown will step down this week. What does that mean for BYU? It means that next year the Cougars will likely be facing three first-year coaches, maybe more. The three first-year coaches will be at Boise State, UConn and, now, appa... |

There has been a little bit of talk along the Wasatch Front recently about an idea that has been around for at least 20 years, maybe longer. Why not get the state's top for college basketball programs — Utah, BYU, Utah State and Weber State — together for an annual early-season basketball tournament? Maybe play it at a neutral site — such as EnergySolutions Arena in downtown Salt Lake City. |

Well, that didn't last long. Just when it appeared that the Fight Hunger Bowl on Dec. 27 in San Francisco would pit Washington coach Steve Sarkisian against his former college team, BYU, Sarkisian accepted the USC job on Monday, according to various reports.
So, it looks like the Cougars will be facing a team with an interim coach two days after Christmas at AT&T Park, just like they did in the Las Vegas Bowl in 2007 when they faced UCLA. That will be the case if the Cougars draw USC as well, obviously. There won't be much football news coming out of BYU the next few weeks, as you can read in this look-ahead piece in Monday's newspaper. Monday brought word that BYU sophom... |

BYU linebacker Kyle Van Noy talked to reporters on Saturday after the Cougars' 28-23 win over Nevada. It was a homecoming game for Van Noy, who grew up in Reno and graduated from McQueen High School. Van Noy made three tackles in the game and intercepted a two-point conversion attempt (which does not count as an official interception). He was also flagged twice for personal fouls. "It wasn't pretty," is how Van Noy described the scene at halftime in BYU's locker room as the Cougars trailed 7-0. ... |

There's no media availability for BYU football today — unless you count coach Bronco Mendenhall's radio show — but a couple football-related items were sent out Wednesday to fill the void.
First, though, while I was in Kansas City Monday and Tuesday night with the BYU basketball team, colleague Tony Jones covered Tuesday's press briefing and produced this notebook on the play of safeties Daniel Sorensen and Craig Bills and the injury situation. Today's biggest news is the joint announcement by BYU and Utah State that they have agreed to extend their current football series through 2018. Basically, they added games in 2017 and 2018 to the existing contract. The Cougars we... |

When you make just six field goals in the entire second half, and go the final eight minutes and 37 seconds of a game without making a single shot from the field, you are not going to beat a lot of college basketball teams, let alone the No. 12 team in the country.
The Cougars (5-2) learned that the hard way on Tuesday night in front of 8,326 fans at the Sprint Center falling 75-62 to Wichita State (7-0). "Well, it was a pretty physical game," said BYU coach Dave Rose, who was assessed a technical foul — the second one of his head coaching career, if I am not mistaken — with 26.2 seconds remaining when the game was well out of hand. "I think that our guys did a pretty good job... |

When you have scored 1,177 points in your career before your junior season, as BYU's Tyler Haws did, you have had a lot of memorable baskets. The one he made Monday night to sink Texas has to rank right up there among the best. With the Cougars leading by a point and the shot clock about to expire, Haws made a running 18-footer, off-balance, with 43 seconds left and BYU held on for an 86-82 win. His description: "We had a play called, and I think we ran the play and Texas defending it really well. Time was just running down, and Eric [Mika] was in the corner. He was acting like he wanted me to come off for a little hand-off. I have just shot that shot, sometimes in... |

BYU running back Paul Lasike rushed for more than 100 yards (101) for the first time in his career in BYU's 23-13 loss to Notre Dame on Saturday. Lasike busted off a long run to the Irish 6 yard line late in the game, but the drive sputtered and Justin Sorensen's field goal attempt was blocked. Lasike, from New Zealand, is also a BYU rugby star. He talks in this video about the long run, the weather conditions, and more. ... |

As I noted in a previous blog, Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick was kind enough to give me 15 minutes of his time earlier this week for a telephone interview about the Irish's relationship with fellow football independent BYU.
Of course, the Cougars and Fighting Irish clash on the football field today at 1:30 p.m. MST. The biggest storyline before the game is the weather. Snow showers are expected in South Bend today, temperatures could dip into the teens, and there will be 15-20 mph winds. So dress warmly if you are going to the game. Anyway, here's more from my Q&A with Swarbrick about BYU: On how Notre Dame feels about its relationship with BY... |
Updated on Nov 22, 2013 04:57PM
BYU fans are well aware that having Notre Dame on the Cougars' football schedule was a linchpin of their move to independence. Heck, part of BYU's big announcement back on Sept. 1, 2010, when it went rogue in football included news that it has signed a six-game agreement to play Notre Dame through the 2020 season. So what about Notre Dame? What do school officials in South Bend think of BYU? Is is a mutual admiration society, or would the Irish downplay the relationship? Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick granted me a telephone interview earlier this week, and I used much of what he had to say about BYU in this front-page sports story in Friday's Tribune.

It was a tough loss to swallow for the BYU Cougars tonight, as No. 21 Iowa State skated away from a crowd of 15,808 at the Marriott Center with a 90-88 win. BYU still hasn't defeated a ranked nonconference opponent at home since 1986. But the Cougars came awfully close on Wednesday, losing when Kyle Collinsworth's off-balance shot at the buzzer came nowhere close to going in. Coach Dave Rose and Tyler Haws said the Cougars didn't make enough plays down the stretch to win, and they were right. They also didn't make enough free throws, especially in the second half. The Cougars were 2 of 6 from the charity stripe in the second half, including misses by Frank Bartley and An... |

BYU football coach Bronco Mendenhall's weekly radio show on KSL News Radio, which was broadcast on Tuesday night this week instead of tonight because of the Iowa State-BYU basketball game, seems to be getting cheesier and cheesier with each passing week. |

BYU hasn't defeated a ranked opponent that wasn't in its conference in a home basketball game since 1986, when it defeated Pittsburgh 93-73 at the Marriott Center. The Cougars will get another chance to end that futility skid on Wednesday night when they host No. 21 Iowa State (7:30 p.m., ESPNU) in Provo.
They had a chance two years ago, but fell 86-83 to No. 6 Baylor in 2011 in point guard Matt Carlino's first game. Actually, getting high-profile opponents to visit the Marriott Center has proven difficult for BYU over the years, let alone defeat them. Lately, BYU has played Arizona, Oregon, Virginia Tech, Oklahoma State and others in Utah, but has had to play them at EnergySolutio... |

Saturday's game at Notre Dame will be a homecoming of sorts for former Timpview High star Chris Badger, who spent last year at the school before transferring to BYU this past summer.

Badger talked to reporters Monday about returning to South Bend, and what the experience will be like. ... |

Aside from getting another shot at an opponent in the same season, it is about as close to a second chance as a football team can get. BYU makes a return visit to Notre Dame on Saturday, 13 months after losing 17-14 to the Irish last year in South Bend. Kickoff is at 1:30 p.m. MST and the game will be televised nationally by NBC. |

Dress warmly if you are attending the BYU-Idaho State game today at LaVell Edwards Stadium. It is a cold, rainy day in Provo, with a few hints of snow, which has already dusted the mountains about the stadium.
Of course, it is a Senior Day at BYU, as some 22 seniors will play their final home games at LaVell's place. For a list of the 22 seniors, check out my advance of the game in today's Tribune, which can be found online here. The list is at the bottom, left-hand side. Perhaps the biggest surprises on the list are defensive end Austin Holt and receiver Marcus Mathews. I double-checked those names with a BYU football spokesperson, because Holt and Mathews were listed as... |

BYU receiver Skyler Ridley says other guys will have to step up in the wake of a shoulder injury to starting WR Mitch Mathews that will require surgery and end Mathews' season. The Cougars won't slow their tempo, so Ridley, Cody Hoffman and Ross Apo -- the three mainstays -- will probably need a little bit of help. The candidates to get more reps are Kurt Henderson and walk-on Colby Pearson. ... |

The BYU football team's 27-17 loss to Wisconsin last weekend continues to bring the Cougars more misery.
On Monday, BYU announced that wide receiver Mitch Mathews has a shoulder injury that will require surgery. He will not play against this season. Mathews suffered the injury diving for a ball against the Badgers. Three other Cougars suffered injuries that will keep them out of future games, but they are not lost for the season. Linebacker Spencer Hadley has a knee (MCL) injury that will not require surgery. He is listed as week-to-week, but will not play on Saturday against FCS foe Idaho State. Tight end Devin Mahin suffered an adductor (groin) strain and is likely out ... |

And a shoutout to all those men and women who have provided service to our country throughout the years. I'm writing this blog from the Salt Lake International Airport, where I will board a flight to Oakland and then drive over to Palo Alto for tonight's BYU-at-Stanford men's basketball game. Looks like the Cougars are 10-point underdogs at Maples Pavilion for the 9 p.m. MST tipoff against the Pac-12's Cardinal. The game will be televised by ESPN2. Here's my preview of the game.

The day that many BYU football players have circled on their calendars — Nov. 9, 2013 — since it was announced the Cougars would play a Big Ten team for the first time in 20 years is finally here.
BYU (6-2) tests No. 21 Wisconsin (6-2) at 1:30 p.m. MST (2:30 p.m. here in Madison) at 80,000-seat Camp Randall Stadium. School officials are expecting between 5,000 and 7,000 BYU fans to be in attendance today, not a bad showing considering Provo is 1,376 miles away. Surely, a lot of the BYU fans here today live in the Midwest, and likely made the drive from another state or region. I was told that the traditional fireside held the night before games drew more than 1,000 folks last nigh... |

Greetings from Madison, Wis., where the Cougars will test the No. 21 Badgers tomorrow at historic Camp Randall Stadium (1:30 p.m. MST, ESPN).
I arrived here at the capitol of Wisconsin in the early afternoon, and quickly drove over the stadium to check the place out. It has an older feel to it, at least from the outside where concrete slabs stretch to the sky. Saw several BYU fans milling around the area, taking pictures under the historic arch that stands as the main entrance to the stadium. Dozens more blue-clad fans were on my flights from Salt Lake City, routed through Detroit. But however many BYU fans have made the trip, or are coming from the surrounding area, they wil... |

Skyler Ridley is just thankful he was suspended for the first half of the last BYU football game, and not the next one.
Ridley, the senior receiver, captain and former walk-on, will likely replace the injured JD Falslev (broken hand) as the Cougars' primary punt returner in Saturday's game at Wisconsin. He could also move over and play some slot receiver (which Falslev also played), although that, too, is still up in the air. "Whatever I can do to help the team win, I will do," Ridley said. "I played a little slot in high school as well. It is a different game when you play inside. You have a few more people to look at. But as I said, whatever I can do to help our team win come this... |

BYU coach Bronco Mendenhall met with reporters Monday evening for his weekly press briefing and talked about how the Cougars are preparing to take on No. 21 Wisconsin on Saturday at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Wisc. Mendenhall mostly talked about Wisconsin's prowess and his relationship with new Wisconsin coach Gary Andersen, Utah State's former coach. Around the 2:10 mark, Mendenhall talks about the team activity that led to punt returner JD Falslev's hand injury during the bye week, and sayd the injury won't cause him to curtail future team activities that involve physical activities. Around the 5:00 mark, Mendenhall says that his relationship with Andersen ... |

Once again, the bye week is not going well for the BYU Cougars.
BYU announced Thursday that backup linebacker Austen Jorgensen's career is over due to a knee injury and senior inside receiver and punt returner JD Falslev will miss the next 3-4 weeks after suffering a fractured hand. Jorgensen, a 6-foot-2, 232-pound linebacker from Mount Pleasant, Utah and North Sanpete High, will have season-ending surgery next week to repair cartilage damage to his knee. Jorgensen has made 47 tackles in eight games this season for 6-2 BYU. He has started in three games. Jorgensen made 108 tackles, including 55 solo stops and one sack, in 45 games in his career. Falslev, a 5-foot-8, 175-p... |

When it comes to disciplinary matters and college football, Utah answers to the Pac-12 and Utah State answers to the Mountain West. To which governing body does independent BYU answer? The suspension of receiver Skyler Ridley for the first half of Friday's 37-20 win over Boise State showed that BYU answers to the Big 12, basically. But it is a bit more complicated than that. The Big 12 officials belong to a group called College Football Officiating, LLC. The CFO is an entity created by the NCAA and College Commissioners Association (CCA) to oversee football officiating. |

Melisa Bicker |
When Melisa and Bruce Bicker bought a home in South Gulf Cove, they planned for it to be their vacation home until they retired and could move down here full-time.
But plans change, and what was to be a vacation house that they visited a few times a year has become home.
Melisa and her husband first came to the area when friends heard that they wanted to buy a vacation spot and invited them to visit. The couple fell in love with Charlotte Harbor, and knew that they had found the right place.
Melisa met Bruce in her hometown of Shannon, Ill.
"As soon as I saw him, I knew we were meant to be," she said. "The new guy in town, I had to know who he was."
They had their first date a few months later, when he escorted her to the end-of-year seventh-grade banquet. They have been together ever since.
As one of three daughters, she was stuck squarely in the middle.
"They used to get together and gang up on me," Melisa laughed. "They would probably tell a different story. Now that we are all older, we get along so much better and have a much closer relationship."
A bit of a tomboy, Melisa's father was her "best bud" while she was growing up.
"I always took the place of the boy that he never had," she explained. "I went everywhere with him. We went fishing in Canada and in the Mississippi. We went to the stockyards together. I was his shadow."
Her father owned a bowling alley in nearby Polo, Ill., where Melisa and her sisters would often spend time after school, on weekends and during the summer.
"None of the three of us were particularly good bowlers," she said. "But we were in the Saturday junior league. We also helped out around the alley, sorting shoes, wiping them down and giving them a spray of deodorizer. It was interesting as a kid. She was always there for us when we were growing up. It couldn't have been easy, dealing with all three of us, but she did it."
Soon after the couple graduated from high school, in the summer of 1981, Melisa and Bruce were visiting his mother in Texas.
"We went out for lunch one day, and right there in the middle, he popped the question," she recalled. "I was 18 at the time, and we were married when I was 19. We just celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary this year."
While Melisa went to school to become a dental lab technician, Bruce began an apprenticeship as a linesman. After she graduated, they moved to Polo, where she got a job as a dental assistant.
"Eventually, I wanted to do something where there was room for advancement," she said. "A friend suggested that I apply to the Post Office, so I did. About a year later, I heard back from them and I was hired. I've been with the Postal Service for 17 years now."
Melisa started out behind the counter as a clerk, then went through the USPS supervisor training program.
"I became an acting manager and postmaster," she explained. "I never really was a carrier, though I did help out a few times when we were short-handed. All of that walking isn't always fun, especially in a snowy Illinois winter, carrying a heavy bag of mail."
Melisa and Bruce have three children of their own, all grown and flown from the nest.
"Our oldest is 27, and she is a high school chemistry teacher," Melisa described. "Next is our 25-year-old daughter, who is a nurse. Both of the girls are still living in Illinois. Our son, who is 22, is an electrical linesman like his father. He went to school in Georgia to learn how to do the job, instead of apprenticing. We don't have any grandchildren yet."
Melisa started at the Boca Grande Post Office on November 26, less than a month before Christmas.
"It is absolutely crazy," she said. "This is a big adjustment for me. And I've already been warned that it doesn't really slow down after Christmas, either. But I am very excited and so happy to be here."
When she isn't at work, Melisa has a few hobbies.
"I love to cook," she said. "I love to eat and try different things. When I was a kid, I was kind of a tomboy, but they also called me Betty Crocker because I was always trying new things out."
A more recent hobby is unpacking.
"I still have boxes everywhere," she said. "When I got here, I hit the ground running, so I unpack when I can."
While Melisa is glad that she was lucky enough to be chosen for the Postmaster job here on the island, it has come with a few difficulties.
"Bruce is actually still up in Illinois, in Polo, and he will stay up there until he can find a job down here," she said. "We know that it could be a while. Overhead electrical linesman positions don't fall off of trees.
But we talk on the phone every day."
Bruce recently deployed to New Jersey after Hurricane Sandy. He was also in Florida this year, helping clean up after Isaac.
"Bruce is very outgoing," said Melisa. "He is very energetic and fun-loving. He's the kind of guy who keeps you laughing, a joker."
Melisa is kept busy learning the routine of a new office and getting to know her new clients.
"Though the US Postal Service is one big organization, each office has little things that they do differently," she said. "The women who work here have been very helpful. Everything is going very well."
Melisa has the house to herself for the moment, but that will change before long.
"My oldest daughter is already making plans to come visit when she has spring break, and my mother is coming down this summer," she said. "The rest of the family will visit as they can, but for now we are keeping up with each other by phone. Of course, we plan to put in a pool, and then we won't be able to keep everyone away."
Once summer comes around, there is something that Melisa wants to do – catch a tarpon.
"When we visited on vacation, we came out to Boca Grande," she said. "We watched the people out in the Pass fishing for tarpon. I haven't tried it myself ... yet."
If she's lucky, when Christmas rolls around next year Melisa can add the memory of her first tarpon to the memories of fishing with her dad. It can only be hoped that she will share the moment with Bruce.

I wore this necklace, along with the new mint jacket, green/white striped top and dark-wash skinny jeans to work recently and received compliments all day long. I'm actually surprised with how versatile it is. The color is really fresh and adds a touch of class, while the moon stones and various beads keep it both modern and fun. It looks great with the mint jacket, but works equally as well with navy or white.

Plant tropical angels' trumpet, and you'll soon be singing its praises. These striking flowers come in a variety of forms and attract plenty of attention. They unfurl captivating, showy, bell-shaped blooms that are 6 to 12 inches long, and flower prolifically from spring to autumn. One word of caution, however. Angels' trumpets belong to the nightshade family and is highly toxic. Keep the plant away from young children and pets, and gardeners should wear gloves to prevent contact with the plant's sap.
For a no-fuss way to liven up your garden with butterflies and hummingbirds, plant flowering tobacco. This relative of the tobacco plant is also known as nicotiana. The stems rise from a rosette of leaves and are covered with star-shaped flowers in shades of pink, red, maroon, lavender, white, yellow and even green.
Many varieties produce fragrant blooms all season long on tall stems that sway in the breeze. They also make a nice backdrop when planted in clusters beyond border plants.

Four-o'clocks are the perfect plants for gardeners who work all day and return home to putter in the yard during the evening. As their name says, you can almost set your watch by them because they reliably burst into bloom in the late afternoon, right around 4 p.m.
The trumpet-shaped fragrant flowers stay open throughout the night, which is why some gardeners fittingly call them "beauty of the night."
Some say the fragrance of heliotrope reminds them of cherry pie, while others claim the blooms' scent resembles talcum powder...vanilla...cloves...or even licorice. Whatever comes to mind when you take a whiff, this colorful bedding plant certainly is one of the most aromatic annuals around. Nothing's prettier than bushy heliotropes in a container or a flower bed. Its nicely textured dark-green leaves create a perfect backdrop for eye-catching masses of tiny tubular blooms that come in a variety of hues, from light blue to rich violet lavender or white.
This enchanting vine is grown as an annual. Related to the morning glory, moonflower vine has big, trumpet-shaped bright white flowers and deep green leaves. The attractive white flowers will emerge at dusk and last until dawn. No wonder it's called the moonflower!
This cheerful garden annual thrives on neglect. Once nasturtiums are established, they perform best when left alone, and provide vibrant color from spring through frost.
Since they flourish in poor soil, overwatering or adding fertilizer can actually diminish their beauty. They are so resilient they can withstand severe pruning - some gardeners cut back the large veined leaves for a better view of the sweet-scented blooms.
There are many varieties to choose from, with some growing in compact mounds, and others climbing to 10 feet with the support of a trellis or fence.
If you're in the market for something with a fragrance hard to forget, then stock is the plant for you. Some might say it has a "spicy" or clove-like scent, but the treat for the nose is only noticeable at night in some species. Bees and moths are attracted by stock's scent and vibrant color.
Believe it or not, this beautiful low-growing border plant covered with clusters of delicate little flowers is a member of the mustard family. Its tiny blooms are fragrant and come in white, pink and lavender hues. This annual blooms for months in full sun to partial shade, but does best in cool weather.
This fragrant flower is easy to grow and provides a season's worth of cut flowers. In fact, sweet peas perform best if you harvest bouquets often. Like the garden peas, sweet peas prefer the cooler weather of spring and early summer, gradually declining under hot August skies.
Each stem of a sweet William will make a complete bouquet! This beauty if a native to Europe, but has adapted to regions all over the United States. Enjoy sweet William blooms in pink, white, red, purple and sometimes even bicolors.

Jalopy | Hey Hoppy, does the thickness of the 1/2" acrylic disc in this version of the PAR sensor matter? Thanks. | |
Hoppy | I use a Quantum PAR meter, or one of my PAR meters that I have very carefully calibrated several times. I set the two sensors side by side under a 50-50, 36 watt PC AH Supply light that is rigidly mounted above a stand I made for a 10 gallon tank. If my PAR meter reading isn't within 5% of the other meter, I adjust the spacing between the photodiode and diffuser, for the version I am making now, or for the older versions I adjusted the number of white diffuser filters I used, until I get the one being calibrated to be within about 2 digits at about 40 PAR. Since there is no way to adjust the slope of the PAR vs Quantum PAR, I only calibrate at one PAR reading. | |
Jalopy | Hey Hoppy, how do you calibrate your PAR meter? Thanks. | |
Hoppy |
Continued from last post: Use black electricians plastic tape to hold the top lens in place, and black out the sides of the sensor, for calibration. With the sensor shimmed up to match the height of the Quantum meter sensor, measure the PAR from a fixed light with both meters. They should match. They do match! So, all that's left is to cement the lens in place, put acrylic cement over the cable to housing joint to waterproof it, and cement the socket for a wand to hold the sensor at the other end of the bottom strip. The last step is to paint the exterior of the sensor housing with black nail polish, two coats, to block all light except that that comes in from the top. You now have a usable PAR meter! |
Hoppy |
Continued from last post: Cement the bottom of the housing onto the base by putting a puddle of acrylic cement where you want the housing to be attached and pushing the assembly into the puddle, moving it a bit to be sure you have a good contact. Hold the assembly in place for about 3 minutes to let the cement set. The electric leads may slightly interfere with this, so you need to hold it until their push won't separate the joint. Cut the sensor off the lux meter - disassemble the sensor so you can cut with a long cable lead left ahead of the coiled part of the lux meter cable. Strip the wires on that cable, and the cable to the new sensor. Leave the ground wire on the new sensor extending about 3/4 inch beyond the wires so it can be used as a strain relief for the soldered connections. Tin all 4 bare wires. Place shrink tube segments on the cables before soldering the two connections. I use shrink tube on both connections, with two layers over the whole cable connection, with the long ground wire wrapped around the lux meter cable so the shrink tubes will grab it to help relieve the strain on the connection. Cut a 5/16" diameter disc of Rosco #114 diffuser filter and place it on top of the upper retainer in the sensor assembly. This filter is essentially invisible, so it takes great care to be sure it is in place before attaching the top "lens". Continued on one more post: |
Hoppy |
Continued from last post: Solder the cable wires to the diode leads. Trim off the wires and diode leads that extend past the end of the acrylic housing. Install a 1/8" long 1/2" tube retainer (the retainers have a saw cut on one side. Use diagonal cutter to trim off more of the acrylic so it will clear the cable). Push the retainer down until it holds the photodiode against the tube stub in the fixture. This locates the photodiode in the right position. Put a drop of acrylic cement on the cable where it comes through the wall of the housing, and one other place on the retainer, to hold the retainer in place. Be sure to pull the assembly partly back off the tube stub in the fixture to make sure you don't cement it to the fixture. Cut out two 5/16" diameter discs of Rosco #4815 pink filter, and carefully put them on top of the diode, with the assembly turned over and not on the fixture. Install a 1/8" long retainer on top of the filters, to hold them and the diode in place. This will fit tightly inside the housing, but can be held in place with a drop of acrylic cement, if you wish. Continued on next post: |
Hoppy |
While experimenting with putting 3 photodiodes in one sensor, in order to improve the spectral sensitivity of the PAR meter, I found that I could fit a photodiode into a 1/2" diameter acrylic tube. This led me to redesign the one diode PAR meter to be 2/3 the size of what I had been making - a 1/2" diameter vs. 3/4" diameter sensor. Assembling this is much easier if you make a simple fixture to hold it while you work on it, while also keeping the photodiode located where it should be. This is just a piece of 3/8" tube, with a longitudinal saw kerf in one side, to make it fit inside a 1/2" acrylic tube easier, with a length sticking above the base equal to the desired distance from the top of the 1/2" tube housing to the top of the photodiode (9/32 inch), cemented into a sheet of acrylic. Fit the 1/2" tube housing on the assembly fixture, and poke the electric cable through the hole, and up out of the housing far enough to let you strip the insulation about 1/4" back. Don't do this before trying to stick the cable through the hole - it is much easier to do before stripping the wires. After stripping the wires, gently move the cable back so the stripped wires are inside the housing. Now, look at the face of the photodiode and locate the mark, either a "+" or just a dot, which identifies the cathode of the diode. This is the lead that connects to the red wire in the cable. Turn the housing over and carefully drop the diode in, so the leads straddle the cable, with the cathode lead on the red wire side. Put the housing back on the fixture, so the diode rests on the top of the stub of tube in the fixture. Use a wood toothpick or something similar to bend up the wires to get them in contact with the diode leads, ready to solder the connections. Continued on next post: |
Hoppy | I have been asked if these PAR meters will work ok for reef tanks. To find out, I bought a 50-50 36 watt PC bulb, and tested a couple of them with that. One read 32 vs the Quantum meter reading of 33, and the other was only 2 units off at about the same reading. So, now I know they do work with 50-50 white/actinic light. | |
Hoppy |
I am still having problems with duplicating these exactly. Any minor error in the geometry make the sensitivity different, and I have to experiment to calibrate it against a Quantum meter, using different diffuser filters. So, I have spent some time trying to make it less variable. This is the design I will be using for any next batches: Except for one part of the assembly, this is easier and faster to assemble, and the geometry is more consistent. It works exactly as well, once calibrated. The part that remains difficult to assemble is the photodiode to the tiny circuit board, cut from a much bigger one I got at Radio Shack, which will produce 28 tiny circuit boards. But, soldering the diode to the circuit board, the cable to the diode on the circuit board, and maneuvering this assembly into the 3/4" acrylic tube is still difficult. I think this will get easier as I make more of these. I tried to photograph this as I assembled it, but my camera macro function isn't good enough to focus on the tiny parts. I plan to make about 5-6 of these at a time, probably one batch every week or 10 days, and sell these on the For Sale forum. But, I was informed that there would also be a market for these with Reef tank keepers if they work equally well with typical Reef tank lighting. So, I ordered cheap 50-50 actinic/10000K PC bulb to verify that it is equally accurate with that mix. I haven't received the bulb yet, so I don't yet know how well it will do with that light. |

sowNreap | Great work Hoppy!! I figured that you wouldn't quit until you had it perfect in your eyes. | |

I think I am finally satisfied with my design, after a lot more work. I finally thought to look up the spectral response for the Apogee Quantum PAR meter, to see what they use and how good it is. I was surprised to find that they also have a far from perfect match with the 400-700 nM PAR spectral range, and, as a result their meter is only good to about +/- 4% for typical aquarium lights, and less accurate for incandescent lights. So, I tried to match their spectral response as best I could with the photodiode and Roscolux filter gels that I have. That proved to be relatively easy, once I worked out the details of what the filter response should look like. I settled on using the Roscolux # 4815 filter gel, giving this spectral response vs the Qualtum meter spectral response: That left the problem of how to adjust the calibration of the meter without changing the spectral response. So, I noticed that in the Roscolux sample book are 19 different diffuser filters, white diffusers which would not alter the color of the light passing through them. I set up a PAR meter and checked the reduction in the reading that each of those diffusers gave me when I put one on top of the PAR meter sensor. The transmissivities ranged from 45% to 90%, so by using different combinations of those diffuser filters I could adjust the sensitivity of the meter over a very wide range. With that problem solved, I made some modifications to the last design of the sensor, all aimed at making it easier to make the parts and to assemble them with minimal variation from assembly to assembly. My final design, which I prototyped, was: With this design I can make 5+ of each part in about 30 minutes, with the aid of a few very simple fixtures. Assembling the parts was very easy, even with the tiny parts. Today I received a batch of 5 more lux meters, so I was able to assemble a complete PAR meter for testing and to determine what diffuser filters I needed. It took just 2 diffuser filters, Roscolux # 102 and #114, to get a near perfect match with a Quantum meter. This PAR meter is now well within my goal of +/- 10% accuracy. I have two more just about assembled now. If you have reasonable mechanical skills you should be able to easily duplicate this and make them to sell, if you wish to do so. The Roscolux filter sample books are free at a dealer, or you can buy one at Amazon. The acrylic tubes are available on EBay. You should have little difficulty finding usable flexible 2 conductor cable at a local electronics supply store, although Radioshack doesn't seem to have any. I have a list of 7 people who have asked that I make them one, so I will finish off that list, and maybe make a few more, then I hope someone else picks up this relatively easy, high demand "product" for others to buy. Here is the assembly sequence I am following: Assemble Photodiode to item 5. Apply acrylic cement to holes in item 5 to attach diode. Thread cable through hole in item 6, and solder cable wires to leads. Assemble above assembly to item 6, with acrylic cement. Paint outside cylindrical surface of above assembly with black nail polish. Glue item 4 to item 1 with acrylic cement. Paint outside cylindrical surface of that assembly with black nail polish. Load filters into item 4-1 assembly and push item 3 in to retain. Use masking tape to assemble above assemblies for testing. Adjust diffuser filters to get correct PAR reading. Apply 2 drops of acrylic cement to hold item 3 in place. Glue the two sub-assemblies together with acrylic cement. Glue above assembly to item 7, and paint bottom of item 7 under item 6 with black nail polish. Glue on a "socket" for holding wand made of piece of acrylic tube to above assembly. This modified meter works on the maximum scale of the lux meter, the 50,000lux scale. I just use a couple of drops of acrylic cement to lock the range selector slide switch in the right position. |

Before I can do actual calibrating of the sensor I have to glue it all together and paint it black, making it a permanent assembly, so I was very reluctant to do that kind of testing. I just used black electrical tape to hold it together and block light leakage as I experimented, with just a 10000K PC bulb. Even with this I used up 3 of the photodiodes in unsuccessful assemblies. But, I plan to try to saw them apart to salvage the diodes. This has been a very interesting project, but also extremely frustrating. |

GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2013-19845 RIN 3038-AE06 COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING COMMISSION Notice of proposed rulemaking. Submit comments on or before September 16, 2013. 17 CFR Parts 39, 140, and 190 The Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("Commission") is proposing amendments to its regulations to establish additional standards for compliance with the derivatives clearing organization ("DCO") core principles set forth in Section 5b(c)(2) of the Commodity Exchange Act ("CEA") for systemically important DCOs ("SIDCOs") and DCOs that elect to opt-in to the SIDCO regulatory requirements ("Subpart C DCOs"). SIDCOs and Subpart C DCOs would be required to comply with the requirements applicable to all DCOs, which are set forth in the Commission's DCO regulations on compliance with core principles, to the extent those requirements are not inconsistent with the requirements of the regulations in this proposed rule. The proposed amendments include: Procedural requirements for opting in to the regulatory regime as well as substantive requirements relating to governance, financial resources, system safeguards, special default rules and procedures for uncovered losses or shortfalls, risk management, additional disclosure requirements, efficiency, and recovery and wind-down procedures. These additional requirements would also be consistent with the Principles for Financial Market Infrastructures ("PFMIs") published by the Committee on Payment and Settlement Systems and the Board of the International Organization of Securities Commissions ("CPSS-IOSCO"). In addition, the Commission is proposing certain delegation provisions and certain technical clarifications.
