11th Annual New York Indian Film Festival line-up:
The Bengali Detective (Documentary), directed by Phil Cox. NY Premiere. Cast – Rajesh Ji, Minnie, Gaurav, Dibindu, Ramesh, Deepti. Co-produced with award-winning filmmaker Annie Sundberg from Break Thru Films, this originally styled documentary provides an entertaining yet poignant look at modern India. What happens when people lose trust in the authorities? In India – a new wave of private detective agencies are answering the call. Poisonings, adultery, fraud, bridal purity, and the occasional murder – such are the day-to-day investigations of Kolkata's Bengali Detective – Rajesh Ji. The Bengali Detective follows the intrepid, dance-obsessed gumshoe and his motley band of helpers on unpredictable raids and corkscrew investigations, exposing the secrets, fears, and covert lives of today's middle-class Indian society with a cheeky mix of fly-on-the-wall surveillance and Bangla-pop wiggle.
Bhopali (Documentary), directed by Max Carlson. NY Premiere. Cast – Noam Chomsky, Satinath Sarangi, Sanjay Verma, Rajan Sharma, Hazra Bee. In 1984 a Union Carbide factory gas leak contaminated and killed thousands in Bhopal, India. Their suffering continues today: a father battles to save his dying daughter; a school rehabilitates children with birth abnormalities; a 25-year-old whose 9 family members perished, copes with pain and death. Fueled by their suffering, the community fights against the American corporation responsible for the continued tragedy. BHOPALI is a feature documentary about the survivors of the world's worst industrial disaster. Today, the suffering continues, prompting victims to fight for justice against Union Carbide, the American corporation responsible.
Daayen Ya Baayen, directed by Bela Negi. US Premiere. Cast – Deepak Dobriyal, Aditi Beri, Bharti Bhatt, Jeetendra Bisht. After an unsuccessful stint as an actor in Mumbai, Ramesh Majila returns to his small Himalayan village fresh with hope and the desire to make a new start. Seeing himself as the artistic voice of the village, he boasts of a proposal to start an Arts' Academy in the village. However to his dismay his ostentatious city manner and quirky traits compounded with a penchant for catalyzing disaster reduce him to a joke amongst the villagers. Adding to his discomposure is a wife pestering him to go back to the city, a young son who is looking desperately for a role model in him and a nagging financial situation. In a dramatic turn of events, Ramesh shoots to heroic status overnight when a chance entry into a television contest wins him a luxury car. Now desired by women, envied and grudgingly admired by men, Ramesh becomes the focal point of the village, giving career advice, gracing functions, playing host to new found friends and relatives. But soon Ramesh finds that this new spot in the sun is treacherously tenuous. The car is completely incongruous in its surroundings and for Ramesh, who is trying to match his aspirations to it, the slide downhill begins again. When the car is stolen, he sets out on a bizarre journey to recover more than his prized possession, his lost dignity.
A Decent Arrangement, directed by Sarovar Banka. World Premiere. Cast – Shabana Azmi, Adam Laupus, Lethia Nall, Diksha Basu. A Decent Arrangement is the story of Ashok Khosla, an Indian-American copywriter, who journeys to India seeking an arranged marriage. After he encounters an American woman traveling through India and is set up with an Indian woman who unexpectedly captivates him, Ashok must navigate the complexity of cultural traditions and the leanings of his own heart. With subtle comedy and true-to-life drama, A Decent Arrangement shows us a side of India not commonly seen by western audiences and delivers an affecting story that resonates with those of us in search of our place in a changing world.
Do Dooni Chaar, directed by Habib Faisal. US Premiere. Cast – Rishi Kapoor, Neetu Singh, Archit Krishna, Aditi Vasudev. Life is tough for Mr. Duggal who works at school as a Math teacher, lives in a government allocated two room apartment in Delhi and is coping with double digit inflation rates and single digit increments in his salary. Add to that, a teenage daughter with high living ambitions, a fast-track son and a wife who loves the good life. The life in the Duggals household passes by in care of the basics and surviving from month to month. Until one day, they decide to dream to own a car and move up in life from a two–wheeler to a four-wheeler. A dream that's not easy by any stretch of imagination for the single income family. Mr. Duggal however, has made up his mind – and his male ego will not let him change his promise to his family. What follows is a comic journey of chaos, realizations, calculations, confrontations and bonding.
Geeta in Paradise, directed by Benny Mathews. NY Premiere. Cast – Parul Bhatia, Purab Kohli, Ishaan Akhtar and Zeenat Aman. A wild melange of plots and styles, Geeta In Paradise simply cannot help but be a brazen new take on some very familiar themes. A mix of Misery and King Of Comedy with a degree of Muriel's Wedding thrown in, writer-director Benny Mathews takes what are, ultimately, some very dark and disturbing subjects, splashes color, graphics and musical/music video stylizations all over the place to somehow lighten the mood, make it goofy and serious at the same time — not that you would know how serious until digesting the film later. Geeta, well played by Parul Bhatia in an oddly nuanced performance that effectively captures the characters inner turmoil as well her mania, is a bored, stagnant housewife whose fantasy life begins to encroach on her real life when she seizes upon an opportunity to kidnap a renegade popular filmmaker who has just fled the set of his current film. Geeta sees her unnatural association with him as the way to make her dreams come true but the actions only serve to make her nightmares come closer to reality. Beneath its glossy, goofy surface imagery Geeta In Paradise' is a complicated, film that is satisfyingly deceptively rich in subtext.
Harud (Autum), directed by Aamir Bashir. NY Premiere. Cast – Reza Naji , Shanawaz Bhat, Shamim Basharat, Salma Ashai. Rafiq and his family are struggling to come to terms with the loss of his older brother Tauqir, a tourist photographer, who is one of the thousands of young men who have disappeared, since the onset of the militant insurgency in Kashmir. After an unsuccessful attempt to cross the border into Pakistan, to become a militant, Rafiq returns home to an aimless existence. Until one day when he accidentally finds his brother's old camera.
Holy Kitchens – Karma to Nirvana (Documentary), directed by Vikas Khanna. NY Premiere. The Holy Kitchens film series is an attempt to tie together the meaning of food in religion with the real world experience of sharing food in a spiritual context. At any given time somewhere on Earth, people are gathering to share food in the name of God. This is spiritual sustenance, meant to bring us closer together and closer to the Creator. It brings the community together into a sense of shared identity and purpose.
Iti Mrinalini, directed by Aparna Sen. NY Premiere. Cast – Konkona Sen Sharma, Aparna Sen, Priyanshu Chatterjee, Rajat Kapoor, Koushik Sen. Mrinalini, an ageing actress, writes a suicide note. As a performer, the first lesson she had learnt was timing – the perfect moment for making an entrance or an exit from stage. On the stage of life, her entrance had been outside her control; but at least she wants to choose the moment of her exit. However, before taking the pills, she decides to destroy all her memorabilia – letters, photographs, newspaper cuttings, knick-knacks pertaining to the past – lest they fall into the hands of the press. She has been a victim of media attention all her life and wishes to be spared that at her death. As she looks through the old box that contains relics from her past, memories flood the night. Incidents that she had forgotten or had relinquished to the furthest corners of her mind now return to haunt her and, through these memories, an entire life is revealed – a life of loves lost and gained, friendships and betrayals, successes and failures, accidents and awards, agonies and ecstasies.
The Legend of Rama, directed by Chetan Desai. US Premiere. Cast – Voices of Manoj Bajpai and Juhi Chawla. Rama, the handsome prince of Ayodhya, is in exile with the beautiful Sita and his valiant brother Laxman. One day Sita is kidnapped by the mighty Ravana, the demon king. Rama and Laxman begin their search for Sita with the help of the monkey-god Hanuman. The Ramayana, the most beloved of all Indian stories, gets its first 3D computer animation retelling in this production from producer Ketan Mehta.
Made In India (Documentary), directed by Rebecca Haimowitz & Vaishali Sinha. NY Premiere. Made in India shows the physical, moral, and emotional risks that middle-class Westerners and poor Indian women take when they sign a surrogacy contract. Lisa and Brian Switzer of San Antonio are an infertile American couple who have exhausted all other expensive and painful options of getting pregnant. Still, Lisa is determined not to give up on her dream of having children. After considerable soul-searching, the Switzers contact a California-based reproductive outsourcing business. Meanwhile in Mumbai we meet Aalia, the cheerful young mother of three who is contracted to carry the Switzers' baby for a price. The film's two directors, American Rebecca Haimowitz and Indian Vaishali Sinha, go beyond sensationalist headlines to explore global issues of reproductive rights and social justice. Weaving together the Switzers' and Aalia's stories with interviews involving fertility experts and hospital administrators, they depict decisions made by families in crisis who look toward reproductive technology as a panacea. As might be expected when such divergent cultures converge, there are unforeseen complications.
Meherjaan, directed by Robaiyat Hossain. US Premiere. Cast – Jaya Bhaduri, Victor Banerjee, Omar Rahim, Humayun Faridi. During the war in 1971, Meher falls in love with a soldier from the enemy side. When her love is discovered, she is shamed and silenced by her family and society. Today 38 years after the war, Meher has a visitor she cannot turn down. Sarah—a 'war-child,' Meher's cousin Neela's daughter, who was given away for adoption has come back to piece together her past. Together, these two women must re-tell history through their stories in order to cut through the stigmas and walk into light. Meherjaan is a film about loving the Other. Meherjaan gives away with the unitary masculine narrative in order to usher in emotional multiplicity of feminine emotion and sensibility. This film critiques certain pitfalls of nationalism that create conditions to justify war, killing and violence. Finally, Meherjaan attempts to offer an aesthetic solution to war and violence by taking refuge in love and spiritual submission.
Metropolis@Kolkata, directed by Suman Mukhopadhyay. US Premiere. Cast – Arun Mukhopadhyay, Anjan Dutt, Biplab Chatterjee, Rituparna Sengupta, Chandan Roy Sanyal, Sreelekha Mitra, Kabir Suma. Megacity Kolkata hides many worlds inside it. This film explores several facets of life in the city, through three intertwining stories, documenting the loves, fears, joys, sorrows, insecurities, and confidences of people who, despite vast differences, seem to merge in one great long flow of humanity. Manmatha belongs to the upper echelons of the new, burgeoning middle class. He is spending an entire night at the emergency ward of a state hospital. It is in the hospital that Manmatha meets Jagadish, a lower middle class man, whose son, a soccer goalkeeper, is fighting a deadly stomach injury. Manmatha is completely baffled by Jagadish's unruffled, serene attitude. A violent street gang conflict near the hospital prompts Manmatha and Jagadish to retreat to Manmatha's car, where they see the outside world. Biren is jobless and lives in the borders of the city. Bombs are exploded and bullets fired near a construction site in the neighborhood when there is gang dispute over extortions. Biren begins to ask all and sundry: "I have nothing to fear. Do I?" He gets the same answer: "What do you have to fear?" And yet Biren cannot get over his fear. An unknown terror grips him. But, unfortunately, Biren's worst fears come true. In the tumult of the city, it is impossible to discern when and from what source a bullet might arrive and pick a head from the crowd. Rohit and Rongili are currently separated. Rohit is a US-returned MBA who works for a multinational and makes loads of money. It was a dazzlingly packaged life that was empty at the core. But something strange happened to Rohit on the day of the lunar eclipse.
Nauka Dubi, directed by Rituparno Ghosh. US Premiere. Cast – Raima Sen, Riya Sen, Jishu Sengupta, Priyanshu Chatterjee. Nauka Dubi is based on the novel The Wreck written by Rabindranath Tagore. Ramesh is in love with Hemnalini, but he agrees to marry another woman on the suggestion of his parents. But he have never met or seen his bride to be. During the marriage ceremony, the village gets flooded with water from the nearby river and it is believed that the bride and Ramesh's father are drowned. Later Ramesh meets a girl Kamala, a widow who lost her husband immediately after her marriage. Ramesh eventually marries Hemnalini, but then realizes that Kamala's husband is not dead.
Raakh Redux, directed by Aditya Bhattacharya. NY Premiere. Cast – Aamir Khan, Supriya Pathak, Pankaj Kapur, Jagdeep, Master Ahmed Khan, Naina Balsaver. One night in an unnamed Indian city, young Aamir Hussein is forced to watch in impotent frustration as his girlfriend Neeta is brutally gang-raped in an assault led by the scion of the Karmali mafia family. Aamir's inability to do anything about the crime sees him leave home and sink into the city's underbelly where he encounters the flotsam and jetsam of the decaying metropolis, chief amongst who is taciturn ex-cop P.K., who, having his own axe to grind against the Karmali clan, helps the boy Aamir become a man and exact revenge. Writer/Director Aditya Bhattacharya's dystopian vision of modern India made Raakh an instant cult classic when released in 1989 and immediately became a benchmark film for gangster noir from which celebrated directors like Sudhir Mishra, Ram Gopal Varma and Vinod Chopra drew inspiration. The film was one of Bollywood multi-hyphenate Aamir Khan's first starring roles and won for him a Filmfare award Best Actor nomination and a jury mention at the Indian National Awards. Pankaj Kapur won the National Award for Best Supporting Actor. The film also marked the debut of Sreekar Prasad, who won the National Award for Best Editing and ace cinematographer Santosh Sivan. The New York Indian Film Festival will be the first to see Raakh in a digital copy, specially re-mastered at Reliance Media Works and struck to coincide with this 22th anniversary.
Semshook, directed By Siddhartha Anand Kumar. NY Premiere. Cast – Tenzin Youden, Tenzin Choeden. One man's search for truth on a journey across the Himalayas. Tenzin is a Tibetan born and raised in India. Yearning to explore his true homeland, he impulsively hops on his motorcycle and embarks on a personal quest: to find his identity and discover the indescribable beauty and wonders of his magnificent homeland. But Tibet is a nation under siege from a repressive regime. While Tenzin encounters friendship, camaraderie and even love along the way, he cannot escape the horrors of a political world he wants no part of. Looking only for the way to peace, both within himself and for the land he loves, Tenzin must find the courage to pursue the truth even if it means facing terrible dangers, to find his Semshook.
Shorts From Whistling Woods International Film School, directed by Rahul Prakash, Sonika Mody, Rohit Tiwari, Monalisa Banerji, Preeti Aneja, and Arati Kadav. US Premiere.

Sound Of Heaven: The Story of Bal Gandharva, directed by Ravi Jadhav. World Premiere. Cast – Subodh Bhave, Vibhavari Deshpande, Kishor Kadam, Avinash Narkar, Abhijit Kelkar. Sound of Heaven: The Story of Bal Gandharva is a richly mounted, Indian musical, period film on the incredible actor-singer-female impersonator Bal Gandharva (1888-1967), set in the early years of Indian theatre. The film has historic resonances and gives remarkable insights into how today's Indian cinema and Bollywood musicals derived their song routines, lavish spectacles and melodrama from Indian musical theatre and epics—entirely independent of Hollywood. It is an inspiring portrait of Bal Gandharva, a cross-dressing, singing icon of the sangeet natak (musical theatre) tradition. Women were not allowed to perform onstage then, and Bal Gandharva's singing and female impersonations in beautiful saris, jewellery and mannerisms were all the rage, and his songs are sung in India even today. Born Narayan Shripad Rajhans, he was given the title 'Bal Gandharva' ('Little Singer from Heaven'). Bal Gandharva led a tumultuous life that saw India's struggle for independence from the British, his affair with a Muslim singer (he was Hindu) and fluctuating patronage from the maharajahs. Inevitably, as cinema became popular, women who played women's roles edged him out of the business: onstage, he was little use as a man! He grew increasingly spiritual and believed, like Shakespeare, that all the world's a stage and all the men and women merely players—that life itself was one more role to play with verve.
Sthaniya Sambaad (Spring in the Colony), directed by Arjun Gourisaria & Monaik Biswas. US Premiere. Cast – Anirban Dutta, Suman Mukhopadhyay. Situated on the southern fringes of Calcutta, the bustling, sunny Deshbandhu colony, a settlement of refugees from East Pakistan (now Bangladesh), has a lot going on. In the evening market, two thieves swoop on Ananya's long plait and chop it away. Atin, the dreamy poet and Ananya's secret admirer, is worried as he does not find her the next day. He seems oblivious of the fact that his home is facing demolition. The two poachers of Ananya's plait want to sell it to raise money for a computer course. They are desperate to pursue higher education – by any means. Five boys on a roadside perch make desultory observations on the goings on. Two old men, original immigrants, sit at the local grocery philosophizing on commodities, life and desire. As Atin, along with his only friend Dipankar, sets out in search of Ananya, the story travels from the colony of the day to the neon districts of the night, and then to the ghostly New Town under construction, tracing out the map of a city through realism and delirium. Somewhere along the path, Dipankar tells Atin about Ananya's family buying an apartment in the new building that is about to raze their colony tenements to the ground.
T. D. Dasan Std. VI B, directed by Mohan Raghavan. US Premiere. Cast – Biju Menon, Jagadish, Swetha Menon, Jagathy Sreekumar, Suresh Krishna.

Dasan's father had moved out of that address and the letter reaches the current resident Nandakumar Poduval (Biju Menon), an ad film maker who lives with his thirteen year old daughter Ammu (Tina Rose) in Bangalore. Nandan requests Ammu's caretaker Madhavan (Jagadish) to find out the whereabouts of the person and deliver the letter to him. But Madhavan is not that enthusiastic and the letter ends up in the waste bin. Ammu sees this and feels bad about it. She starts writing replies to Dasan, as if they were written to him by his dad. The young boy is excited at the thought of having found his dad, and shares all his feelings and needs with his dad. Ammu promptly replies with pens and other gifts Dasan asked his father.

Yeh Saali Zindagi, directed by Sudhir Mishra. US Premiere. Cast – Irrfan Khan, Arunoday Singh, Chitrangda Singh, Aditi Rao, Saurabh Shukla, Sushant Singh, Yashpal Sharma, Prashant Narayanan. Arun (Irrfan Khan) has to save Priti (Chitrangda Singh) the woman he loves, but for that he first has to save the man Priti loves- Shyam, the future son in law of a powerful Minister.

But for that he has to risk everything, and put his own life at stake, he wonders why he should do it at all, if she still loves another man. He's torn, but love knows no reason.

You Don't Belong (Documentary), directed by Spandan Banerjee. US Premiere. Cast – Arun Chakraborty. Paban Das is a baul singer living in France singing songs of wandering minstrels. Arun Chakraborty is a poet living a quietly content life in a hamlet of West Bengal. Bhoomi is a band from Kolkata, popular for their renditions of folk tunes. Prabuddha Banerjee is a musician with a history of protest music. Paraspathor is an erstwhile band left with memories of their popular songs and lost fame. Disparate characters who are bound together by a filmmaker's search for the elusive author of a song, popular in collective memory as a traditional folk song. What follows is a long self-reflexive journey into the world of folk, a journey, which nudges established ideas of home, nostalgia, belonging, and authorship as the film explores deeper into the song that serves for a metaphor of the contemporary fragmented times. Travelling across remembered lands and forgotten histories following the unseen path of migration that music takes, You Don't Belong asks some important questions about the encounter between art and mass production, creation and ownership in a country rich with myriad folk and oral traditions.

Florida High Schools posted their best school grades ever, thanks to a new system designed to judge schools on more than just standardized test grades, a report released Tuesday by the Florida Department of Education said.
However, the system has some schools missing the mark, while others made better-than-average gains.
Navarre High School, an A school last year, dropped to a B this year, even though they technically had enough points to be A.
Principal Brian Noack said the frustration is in perception.
"Parents and members of the community only see that single grade," he said, "and they don't necessarily understand this formula."

I'd like to think this moment changed something—that it could. I don't want it to change the result of the coming election. I'm already wanting and wishing on that subject enough already. I don't even want it to change the policy debate. We can go ahead argue about FEMA and whether federal resourcing and management are the best way to address disaster relief —once everyone is in where it's safe and dry. But the thing I'd really like to believe changed is on the level of mutual respect.
I can recall that Governor Christie of New Jersey was pretty darned forceful in his repudiation of President Obama back when he was addressing the keynote to the Republican National Convention this summer. What the country lacked in its president was leadership, he said, several times and several different ways. It wasn't a pretty speech (in my book anyway) but it scored on the level of political invective —which is the game we play these days. And all through the campaign Chris Christie has been "the man with the pan" for the President, delivering mal mots for Mitt.
The Washington Post reports: At a Romney rally 10 days (and a seeming lifetime) ago, the governor offered that Obama is "blindly walking around the White House looking for a clue," adding that "he's like a man wandering around a dark room, hands up against the wall, clutching for the light switch of leadership, and he just can't find it." I'm sure the line got a good rise out of folks.
Then along came Sandy and The Governor of New Jersey had to attend to the job he was elected to do by the citizens of his state —the President attended to his job as well— and to his credit, Governor Christie's story changed.
"I have to say, the administration, the President, himself and FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate have been outstanding with us so far," Christie said on Good Morning America reporting in the morning after the storm came ashore. "We have a great partnership with them," he said. And as for the guy fumbling for the light switch— "He worked on [early disaster declaration] last night with me, offered any other assets that we needed to help," Christie said. "I want to thank the President personally for his personal attention to this."
Touring the storm damaged area on Wednesday and appearing to speak to the press together, Christie and Obama made for all appearances like something of a mutual admiration society. "It's been a great working relationship to make sure that were doing the job people elected us to do," Christie enthused. The President answered "I have to say that Gov. Christie throughout this process has been responsive. He's been aggressive in making sure that the state got out in front of this incredible storm and I think the people of New Jersey recognize that he has put his heart and soul into making sure the people of New Jersey bounce back even stronger than before. So, I just want to thank him for his extraordinary leadership and partnership."
Damn— What's a bile frothing bitter partisan hack to do with talk like that?

Kensington Series Multi Point Patio Trim with European Mortise and 85 mm Center to Center from the Estates Collection
This is made specifically for multipoint doors and is a Trim Only. Product includes Interior and Exterior Trim with Lever and Cylinder (if Keyed Entry Function) Only.
The Kensington Series Multi-point trim, as part of the Baldwin Estate Collection, is crafted with the finest of finishes and provides even more with its dexterity and elegant styling. Equipped with the detailed 5108 scroll-like metal lever, this elegantly designed intricate solid forged brass patio function handleset creates a sense of class and dignity that leave a lasting impression. The Kensington Series provides more than a beautiful floral design, as its function emulates form with its multi-point construction within the door to create an extra level of stability and security for an added peace of mind.
Patio Function: Similar to a privacy function handleset where a door can be locked from the inside, the patio function adds another level of protection as there is no emergency release on the outside; which enables it to be used for egress applications. Most commonly used for patios and balconies that are not the primary entryways to your home, patio handlesets are a secure and convenient choice.

2011 is about to become a memory; I hope it was a year full of good ones for all of you. As we have at the beginning of most years we begin that time-honored task of making New Years resolutions, most of which we break by the end of the month. Who really gives up chocolate for good?
Gardeners can and should make resolutions, ones we can keep. A few that came to mind:
Be water wise.
Plant the right plant in the right place which realizes into less work for you the gardener and less stress on the plant
Be cautious with herbicides, pesticides, and other garden chemicals for the sake of the environment and beneficial insects.
Reuse, recycle, repurpose.
Compost leaves instead of putting them at the curb
Include vegetable crops in your planting, even in a container.
Help start a community vegetable garden or a flower planting in your neighborhood.
Use native plants in your landscape.
Plan your garden to attract bees, butterflies, and birds.
Interest and educate children in nature and gardening.
Help yourself, your family, and your community become more sustainable.
Work to make sure that our bodies of water–lakes, streams, creeks are clean and inviting.
Consider taking the Master Gardener Class. Through the class you will become an educator and a leader and help others with their knowledge of horticulture.
Happy New Year to all of you!
Newspaper articles and television announcers are full of recommendations for Christmas gifts. Thus, it seems fitting that I might come up with some of my own, with mine targeted toward the gardener. My suggestions are based on years of experience with all sorts of gardening helpers.
Trugs–wonderful plastic buckets, very sturdy and light, sold in a rainbow of bright colors (easy to spot them in the yard). Fill them with water, soil, or plants and tote to your heart's content. The two handles make them easy to carry, too.
Japanese horihori knife–great digger and weeder. One side is serrated so you can use it to cut if needed. It also has a measure for planting bulbs, seeds, etc. It is nice to have the sheath for the knife and a belt to secure it around your waist.
Plastic kneeler–always handy when you have to sit in the wet grass or dirt or just as cushioning for your knees. These come in very bright colors so you can find them anywhere you leave them in your yard.
Felco pruners–the very best, pricey, but a pair can last for many years, unless you lose them in the garden or accidentally throw them away with a pile of clipping
Tool caddy–anything from a trug to a garden apron to a special garden tool belt–helps to keep track of your tools, your cell phone or anything else you need in the garden.
Nitrile gardening gloves–the very best–lightweight, stretchy, comfortable, but allow the gardener dexterity to handle any job.
Gift Certificate to a gardening store for a plant, to a book store for the latest gardening book, to the landscape supply for a load of mulch, pinestraw or mushroom compost mixed with top soil.
An offer to load up and deliver a load of "black gold," compost, from the community landfill.
I welcome your suggestions for other garden inspired gifts. Hope some of the above make the gardener in your life smile.
We are now in one of the two best times of the year (the other being winter) for planting trees and ornamental shrubs in our landscapes. The huge spring variety of plants in the big box stores would lead the gardener to believe that spring is the best time to plant. It is not. Planting now allows plants to concentrate on developing a good strong root system instead of expending energy on maintaining leaves and flowers or fruit. Winter rains provide the moisture a new plant needs; thus, we are not having to be out watering new plantings on almost a daily basis. If the local big box stores do not have what you need visit locally owned nurseries. Our area has several very nice ones. If they don't have what you need, perhaps they can special order for you.
There are just a few simple rules to help your new plant thrive. The most basic of these is to plant the right plant in the right place. That means the homeowner plants a plant where it can grow with the least stress on the plant and least work (i.e., maintenance, pest and disease prevention and treatment) for the homeowner. For example, not using a shrub for a foundation planting that will quickly overtake the windows and, thus, require hours of maintenance to keep it pruned into shape. As a MG one of the most common questions I have been asked is what to do about a foundation planning (the one under the front windows of your home) that has gotten too big; see photo. Another example of the right plant in the right place would be planting a shrub that requires shade in the shade instead of in a full sun location. That shade lover will not flourish; gallons of water will be necessary to help it live at all.
Another very important thing to remember when planting a new tree or a shrub is not plant it too deeply. Planting too deep is one sure way to kill a plant. First of all, do not dig the hole any deeper than the root ball (but do dig the hole at least three times as wide as the root ball). As a matter of fact, it is better to position the planting so that the top of the root ball is at least an inch or so over the soil line. If you dig the hole too deep and then add soil to the hole, the soil and the plant will eventually settle, causing it to be planted too deeply. Research also indicates that for a single hole planting, it is best not to amend the soil with other materials but to backfill your hole with the native soil. Use of the native soil that you removed when you dug your hole allows the plant to adapt to its new home more easily.
One other point to remember is that when you mulch, do not place your mulch directly against the trunk. Mulch placed up against the bark is an open invitation to insects and disease to invade your healthy plant. Think doughnut instead of volcano as you place your mulch around your plant.
There are many other considerations to think about as you plant. The Extension Service has lots of excellent publications discussing them. We will take up some other pointers for successful planting in future blogs.
Happy planting!

Cellar/Tasting Notes "A wine of extraordinary charm and elegance, the dark garnet-colored 1985 Ducru-Beaucaillou has a floral, cedary nose intermixed with red and black currants as well as flowers. The wine is fully mature and soft, with beautiful concentration and purity ..."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The flagship sweet wine of Professor Denis Dubourdieu, this is a beautifully made wine and one of the best I have tasted from the chateau. The wine, which is usually about 70% Semillon, 20% Sauvignon, and the rest Muscadelle, exhibits a bold, opulent style with gobs of fruit, some honeyed peach,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Delicate and elegant wine, with smoky fruit, ripe but freshened with a tight layer of acidity. It has delicious black currant juice flavors, but the texture remains light and the tannins soft.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "One of the greatest young wines I have ever tasted, the monumental 2009 Cos d'Estournel has lived up to its pre-bottling potential. A remarkable effort from winemaking guru Jean-Guillaume Prats and owner Michel Reybier, this blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Merlot (33%) and a touch..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The opaque purple-hued 2006- only 40% of the crop made it into the final blend- exhibits a personality that mimics the superb 1996. Classic aromas of sweet black raspberries, kirsch, cassis, and subtle toasty oak are followed by a full-bodied, concentrated wine displaying moderately high tannin...
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The dense ruby/purple-hued 2006 Palmer reveals sweet aromas of melted licorice, underbrush, toast, plums, and black cherries. Outstanding density, a medium to full-bodied style, and a personality that recalls 1996, this blend of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon and 34% Merlot possesses moderately high..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Not surprisingly, Leoville Las Cases has produced another classic, potentially long-lived wine in 2006. Among the St.-Juliens, it, Ducru Beaucaillou, and Leoville Barton possess the potential for the greatest longevity. Interestingly, when I visited this chateau in January, proprietor Jean-Hubert..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Along with Lafite Rothschild, Ausone, and l'Eglise Clinet, Pavie is one of the wines of the vintage. An inky/purple color is accompanied by notes of creme de cassis, kirsch, graphite, and toast. A massive wine for the vintage, the 2007 Pavie is very full-bodied with extraordinary intensity, power,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A blend of 49% Merlot, 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 7% Petit Verdot, the 2007 Palmer possesses a dense ruby/purple color as well as attractive smoky charcoal, blackberry, and plum aromas, good purity, excellent texture, and a soft, fleshy mouthfeel. It should drink well for 10-12 years."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The blend for the 2009 Pichon Lalande is dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, somewhat unusual at this estate which usually has more Merlot in the blend. As stated previously, the Cabernet Sauvignon reached levels of ripeness and intensity of flavor in 2009 never seen before in Bordeaux! The final..

Word Spacing
22.3.2 Word Spacing
Typefaces have predetermined spacing between words that is dictated by the point size and width of a typestyle, the darkness or density of the typeface, and the openness or tightness of the letterspacing. For text set ragged right (unjustified), word spacing may be fixed and unchanging. However, for text that is set flush left and flush right (justified), the spacing may need to be more flexible. For justified text, an average word space of a fourth of an em is ideal, with a minimum and maximum range of a fifth of an em to half an em.2

A glorious past, an active future for Gill Stadium at 100
Manchester Central's Samual Binigono battles with Alvirne's Jake Nazarian during their Division I boys' soccer match at Gill Stadium in Manchester on Friday. The game was part of this weekend's Gill Stadium Centennial celebration. (Thomas Roy/Union Leader)
Gill 100th goings-on
The Gill Stadium Centennial Celebration, which began with Friday's boys' soccer game between Manchester High Central and Alvirne of Hudson, continues with events on Saturday and Sunday. All events except for the performance that concludes the celebration are at Gill. Admission for all but the football game is free.Saturday
1-4 p.m.: Play on the Turf activities for all ages include races, a climbing wall, face painting and more.
4 p.m.: Marching bands from the city's three public high schools and Concord High perform.
7 p.m.: Central hosts Concord in the football season-opener for both teams.
Post-game: Fireworks display.
10 a.m.: The Temple Band, considered America's original town musical ensemble, performs.
11 a.m.: The re-dedication ceremony features local dignitaries, celebrity guests, and performances by the Average Joes Barbershop Quartet and the A.O.H. Pipes and Drums Band.
7 p.m.: At Veterans Memorial Park, the celebration concludes with a show by Vaud & the Villains, a 19-member Vaudeville-style ensemble from New Orleans.
But as big an event as the stadium's opening was, the fact that its re-dedication will take place Sunday on its centennial is, in some respects, even more remarkable.
On Friday night, Gill Stadium Centennial CeCenCentral hosts Concord in the season-opening football game for both teams.
After the gates open this morning at 9:30, festivities begin with a performance by the Temple Band from 10-11. All events are free, except for the football game but including a postgame fireworks display.
Games where Gill has stood for a century actually began decades before its construction, back when the cattle-grazing area known as The Plains was converted to the Beech Street Grounds for early games of baseball. In 1895, Varick Park, a wooden-grandstand facility serving as home to a professional team in the old New England League, opened at the site, on land then owned by the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company.
One thing that hasn't changed is Gill's status as Manchester's premier facility for high school football and amateur baseball. It remains home to Manchester Central for both sports, as well as for field hockey and soccer. The football team for Manchester's Catholic high school, Trinity, also plays its home games at Gill, and every Thanksgiving the city's two highest-rated teams meet in the Turkey Bowl.
Once home to track and field meets on a long-since-removed cinder track, Gill welcomes back the sport of running next month when the Footrace for the Fallen finishes inside the stadium for the first time. A 5-kilometer run honoring fallen police officers and benefitting the Manchester Police Athletic League, the new course for the Oct. 13 race starts on Valley Street in front of the new city police department building, loops through downtown and leads participants through the right-field entrance to the stadium, with a finish at the 40-yard line. In the meantime, the Gill Stadium Centennial Organizing Committee, which has worked tirelessly for more than a year to put together the commemoration, looks forward to welcoming longtime and first-time visitors to this weekend's events at one New Hampshire's most iconic structures.

It was a long and tense 60 more feet for me. Gat damn. That's a helluva job they got.

Eight months later we are still fighting bills for $1900, $1800, $223, and $186. Everybody agrees that we don't really owe them, but the bills were coded wrong when submitted, and changing that takes an act of God. The billing agency works for the lab that works for the clinic, and nobody will own the error.
Last week everybody got a paper letter documenting all of our phone calls with contact names and numbers and the results of each call. If they want the money let them sort it out amongst themselves; we've given up. Ultimately these bills will all be turned over to a collection agency and everyone can finally forget about them, but an awful lot of time and effort is being spent dodging responsibility in the meantime.

That stinks.
I moved cities and had to find a new dentist. None of the dentists in the town took my insurance. Since I knew I was going out of network, I wanted to get some idea of what I would end up paying. I called the insurance company and asked how much they covered for a normal checkup and cleaning. They said "customary and reasonable." I asked what that meant and they said they couldn't tell me. They said to ask the dr.'s what they charged and work from there. But how was I supposed to know if they were in the ball park? Do I call 10 Dr.'s and take a survey? It was crazy and frustrating.
I ended up just picking one I liked and it turned out that we owed him $5 after insurance. I could have been a much better consumer if I had just known what they would pay.
