"I looked up my family tree and found out I was the sap"*…
It's tempting to consider information visualization a relatively new field that rose in response to the demands of the Internet generation. "But," argues Manual Lima in The Book of Trees: Visualizing Branches of Knowledge, "as with any domain of knowledge, visualizing is built on a prolonged succession of efforts and events."
While it's tempting to look at the recent work, it's critical we understand the long history. Lima's stunning book helps, covering the fascinating 800-year history of the seemingly simple tree diagram.
Trees are some of the oldest living things in the world. The sequoias in Northern California, for example, can reach a height of nearly 400 feet, with a trunk diameter of 26 feet and live to more than 3,500 years. "These grandiose, mesmerizing lifeforms are a remarkable example of longevity and stability and, ultimately, are the crowning embodiment of the powerful qualities humans have always associated with trees."
Such an important part of natural life on earth, tree metaphors have become deeply embedded in the English language, as in the "root" of the problem or "branches" of knowledge. In the Renaissance, the philosophers Francis Bacon and Rene Descartes, for example, used tree diagrams to describe dense classification arrangements. As we shall see, trees really became popular as a method of communicating and changing minds with Charles Darwin…

As we look to our roots, we might recall that it was on this date in 1955 that Capitol Records released what it claimed to be (and what surely was) the shortest "song" ever recorded. Earlier in the year, Les Paul and Mary Ford has released a single, "Magic Melody," that concluded with the well-known "shave and a hair cut" musical phrase– sans the traditional "two bits" sting. Disc jockeys around the country complained that the track ended too abruptly, that it left the listener hanging. So Les Paul went back into the studio to record "Magic Melody- Part 2″– which consisted solely of the two "missing" notes. It ran for about one second.

As we find our bearings, we might spare a thought for Florence Nightingale; she died on this date in 1910. Famed for her work as a nurse in the Crimean War, she went on to found training facilities and nursing homes– pioneering both medical training for women and what is now known as Social Entrepreneuring. Less well-known are Nightingale's contributions to epidemiology, statistics, and the visual communication of data in the field of public health. Always good at math, she pioneered the use of the polar area chart (the equivalent to a modern circular histogram or rose diagram) and popularized the pie chart (which had been developed in 1801 by William Playfair).

As we bird-dog Beatrice, we might send sardonic birthday greetings to Ambrose Gwinnett Bierce; he was born on this date in 1842. A journalist, editor, short story writer, fabulist, and satirist, Bierce is probably best remembered for his short-story "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" (which Kurt Vonnegut considered the greatest American short story, a "work of flawless genius") and, pace Dante, for his scathingly satirical lexicon The Devil's Dictionary…

As we exult in explication, we might send consoling birthday greetings to Rufus Porter; he was born on this date in 1792. A visionary and prolific inventor, Porter had painfully little business sense. He held over 100 patents, including a fire alarm, a signal telegraph, a fog whistle, a washing machine, and a revolving firearm… He sold his patent for the lattermost to Samuel Colt for $100 in 1844. With those proceeds, Porter published the first issue of Scientific American (on August 28, 1845)– but sold that business 10 months later.

How soon unaccountable I became tired and sick,
Till rising and gliding out I wander'd off by myself,
In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,
Look'd up in perfect silence at the stars.
As we ponder pictograms, we might spare a grateful thought for the man who wrote the book on perspective, Leon Battista Alberti; he died on this date in 1472. The archetypical Renaissance humanist polymath, Alberti was an author, artist, architect, poet, priest, linguist, philosopher, cartographer, and cryptographer. He collaborated with Toscanelli on the maps used by Columbus on his first voyage, and he published the the first book on cryptography that contained a frequency table.
But he is surely best remembered as the author of the first general treatise– Della Pictura (1434)– on the the laws of perspective, which built on and extended Brunelleschi's work to describe the approach and technique that established the science of projective geometry… and fueled the progress of painting, sculpture, and architecture from the Greek- and Arabic-influenced formalism of the High Middle Ages to the more naturalistic (and Latinate) styles of Renaissance.

As we ponder Pluto's planethood, we might recall that it was on this date in 1965 that the Soviet space program stunned the world, as it had with the first satellite (Sputnik) and the first man in space (Yuri Gagarin), when cosmonaut Alexey Leonov performed the first spacewalk (and the first EVA) from the Voskhod 2 spacecraft; Leonov was outside his spacecraft for 12 minutes.

Vanessa Hudgens on Nude Photo Scandal: That Sucked!by Hilton Hater at . Comments
The actress would rather you did not.
"That was such a shitty situation, that sucked," Hudgens tells the latest issue of Paper of the 2007 incident that she' deemed "by far the worst moment of my career."
Hudgens merely sent then-boyfriend Zac Efron some sexy photos back in the day, but the subsequent leaking of these naked pics on the Internet nearly cost Vanessa her role in High School Musical 3.
Fast forward five years, however, and the 24-year old is now starring in Spring Breakers opposite James Franco and Selena Gomez.
Did the nude picture controversy actually propel Hudgens toward her goal of more mature roles? She won't say that, but she will appear genuinely excited over the path her career is on:
"Ever since I was young, I wanted to play really heavy and intense roles and really push myself in a dramatic direction."
I've recently watched Vanessa Hudgens Sex Tape!
Check it out here: Vanessa Hudgens Sex Tape (full version)
I ain't get no doubt it's the best thing i saw
Vanessa Hudgins to tell you the truth we all make mistakes that's why they put erasers on pencils I still think you're a terrific actress
Well, maybe she should stop taking fucking nude pictures of herself? They didn't get "leaked". She released them. She had movies about to be released during all three nude photo scandals, and of course they propelled her career, even if she won't admit it. That was the whole point of the photos.

We stayed here 4 nights. The staff was helpful, although English speakers were hard to come by at night. We got a suite, which had lots of space. Lots of noise from traffic, but I expect that's true everywhere in Quito. Close enough to walk to Plaza Fosch, the Mindalae Museum, and Parque Carolina Nothing fancy, but comfortable.

If you liked my Cinnamon Coffee,you'll like this too. I searched on the Zaar but didn't find anything like it. Simple and delicious, for someone who liked cardamon like me. I prefer black coffee with a little milk,but I guess it goes with anything.No quantities for coffee as everyone's taste is different.For me it worked with one seed/cup but you might like it stronger or milder. Try it and you might like it. Even easier way:add the cardamon seed to your cup of coffee!

Tomato plants/roots (?) being eaten by gophers........help please, what to do?
- iL Divo Aug 3, 2010 11:00 AM
They've done this before. They ate all my rose plant roots. But then were gone.
Apparently, they're back. What to do?
I have 5 large tomato plants that are now dying plants.
Turning yellow, leaves are dead and/or dying off/withering.
When this happened with the roses, I couldn't figure out what the problem was.
Until I lifted the tops of the dying rose plants and they came straight up and out of the dirt, roots gone.
I found evidence of gopher activity. Two "patio tomato plants" I planted together under the same tomato basket, now, one is completely gone, whole plant gone, all tomatoes gone. We realized all this when we returned from our recent vacation. If I look closely at where it was, I see a tiny bit of dirt scuffed up where it used to be. Like it'd been being dug from underneath.
I can only figure this is what's happening to the other 5 plants that are looking bleak. Any suggestions as to what to do? I can't find the gophers. I can only water and feed with Miracle Grow as usual. Do they make a MiracleBeGone for gophers?
Any suggestions are appreciated, thank you.
Gophers/moles/voles are evil. So are squirrels, chipmunks and rabbits. In the garden. I don't think there's anything you can do this year. I've read of people lining their garden bed with chicken wire to keep the tunnelers out. High fencing to keep the others out. I feel your pain. A few years ago I planted some coleus in pots to sit by thefront door. Put drip system on them and left town for a week or so. Came back and even alot of the dirt had been thrown out of the pots. There was one small, sad stalk. No sign of anything else. I don't plant coleus anymore. Good luck.
There are some repellents that may work, which contain irritants (like cayenne pepper) and/or scary-smelling stuff (like dried blood). Here's one that professes to drive anything away, even armadillos! I didn't realize armadillos were garden pests. Live and learn.
And this is specifically for burrowers, but you have to find the burrow:
thanks both of you. if my eyes aren't lying, there could be, well, let me ask you this. how big is rabbit poo? sorry to get gross. we live where rabbits are everywhere but our dogs will kill 'em quicker than turnips if they get in the yard and the dogs hear everything, even burrowers. the garden is green chicken wired and fenced off, but the burrowers are underground. I hate to say this but next year it may just be one of the WallyWorld kiddie swimming pools with compost and peat moss in there and still fenced around the sides.
just a bummer because I have heirloom toms in there, that I've been waiting for [set aside the cost of this fiasco]. I detest market tomatoes, it's a shame, thanks for helping me.
re: iL Divo
Scroll down to figure 4. But I honestly believe it's a burrower. The above ground animals will usually go for the foliage first. I think your idea of a kiddie pool is a great idea. Have you ever read "Square Foot Gardening"? It's a classic and totally unique ideas. If you did raised beds, you could line the bottom with whatever. Google that and it will give you the general idea. Again, good luck.
re: c oliver
you're probably right. our dogs have literally stood still as if dead cocked head and stared at the planter beds, then pounced in there before there was chicken wire put in place. we've scolded of course, as they tromple over the fledgling baby plants and klll them with their weight. I got the idea in Columbus Ohio as I walked around the city on my way back from Old German Village there. It was placed in a church and the signs around the pool read, "children's project". Now I know rabbits could still get in there too so I'd have to think of that. Our beds are raised 2 cinder blocks high but we never thought of lining them with anything as that's where we planned on putting strawberries and roses with the strawberries growing being shaded by the roses. I haven't heard of the square foot gardening but will look it up as well as I'll read that link you provided. thanks again
re: c oliver
My strawberries were all eaten by gophers and some tunnels left in the large kiddie pool we used last year. This year I am taking an old table, drilling holes through the top for water release and doing the garden in pots safely away from the vermin. Kiddie pool was easy for gophers to get in and out of.....
re: jeanmarieok
yep, here too...............
An ideal way to fight off burrowers is to dig a 12" deep X 6" wide trench around the perimeter of the patch you want to protect. Unroll the chicken wire and curve the bottom of the wire *away* from the patch leaving the rest straight up like a fence. You might want to anchor the bottom with earth staples (I've used the clipped off bended ends of wire clothes hangers.). Fill in the trench with soil. You will need a fairly tall length of chicken wire in order to have enough to bury. This works very well... the little beasties can't burrow through the bent wire.
Back in the '80's my ex searched out the ground hog burrow entrances nearest his garden (there were 2) and planted leftover seedlings and stunted transplants around them. Sort of like a decoy crop. Seemed to have worked. Could have helped that some of the transplants were a little illegal, but I always thought that causing the munchies in ground hogs was a little counter productive.
re: morwen
Ummmm, I'm a cop and you're arrested!
Sorry, couldn't resist..... :)))
That's pretty funny tho must admit.
re: iL Divo
Hah. The ironic and somewhat satisfying thing is that after repeatedly pleading for him to stop and moving out because I wasn't going to risk losing my son (among other reasons), shortly after the divorce came through he was well and thoroughly busted.
re: morwen
I was kidding Morwen, simply being silly
re: iL Divo
I knew that! Was just enjoying some schadenfreude ;-)
re: morwen
I feel your pain. We have a large gathering of moles and it is driving us to drink...we really didn't need the push! I have run over one or two with the lawnmower and as emotional and empathetic that I am, I felt no pain.
Moles are not as cute as they are portrayed in children's storybooks and they are pests and persistent ones at that. We went on google earth to look at our house from above and had to almost vomit at the site of our whole lawn spotted in a perfect pattern of holes that were undetectable at ground level. Honestly, it grosses everyone out who sees it. They have ruined my peonies and I have had it.
re: itryalot
Moles are not eating your plants. Remember the saying: "M"oles eat "M"eat, "V"oles eat "V"egetables. Moles burrow in the soil to eat grubs and worms. Voles burrow to eat your plants from the bottom up. What also comes to mind on root damage ot tomatoes are nematodes. When you bought your tomato plants did the stake indicate that they were nematode resistant? (most new varieties are.)
re: junescook
I love your avatar
re: iL Divo
Actually that is Siobann. (Off the record When DW wanted to purchase one of her favorite little darlings for her retirement dream, the people made us a deal, the nice one was really cheap if we took the cranky mother (Siobann) with her). Anyway, the daughter, Maeve, the sweetest alpaca that ever lived, I think continued to nurse for three years, and Siobann today will still think about spitting at you if go near her now 4 or 5 year old baby. Siobann is now 13.
re: junescook
My husband calls the one I visit a lot "my boyfriend". Gizmo is the cutest alpaca that belongs to a friend and for some reason, although he's very shy, very skittish, he loves me and gives the sweetest kisses. could it be he likes my flavored mocha or strawberry tangerine lipstick? I think so but I'll take the kisses, lipstick or not.....................
re: junescook
gad, you're brill! thank you for that link. just read it and will go outside and pull up a tomato plant or two and see if there is anything that looks like "that". I got my plants from "Home Depository", "Lowe's" and "You Do It". I'd think reputable sellers, but not sure and I'd not known to check any stake. Thing is, these things aren't inexpensive to tackle, getting little plants to be big plants and make yummy vegetables. And now, they're croaking, it's just so annoying....................
Hey itryalot, how does one see their house from above on google earth? is it the hybrid or the satellite or another part of the page???
re: iL Divo
iL Divo,
When you buy tomatoes, you will see the letters VFN or VFNT next to the variety, These indicate that this particular variety has been bred to be resistant to Verticillium, Fusarium, root Nematodes, and Tobacco mosaic diseases respectively.
If you download Google Earth, there is a space "fly to". You just type your address into that box, and the program will gradually zoom to your address. Using your mouse you can get down to about 600 feet. The image of my house is from 2006.
What I find handier and what can do the same and more, is this interactive weather site from the Weather Channel. Set it up for your area and it will always give you radar images of your area. Also you can then where it says map a US address, put in you own address, and see the same image by clicking on satellite. It's handier and multifunctional.
re: junescook
just tried it thanks.
you mean those little plastic tags on the plant? I'll check them.
last night I went to pull up on one of the ones that is no doubt dead-ish.
it didn't pull out with ease so told me that they may still have roots.
so I'm supposed to pull up the plant and see if it looks like that pix on the website?
ok, will do, if it does, that means that it's gonna croak a hundred percent right?so no replanting it, for what right?
re: iL Divo
In our local extension office here in CT, we've been seeing a number of cases of septoria leaf spot in which the leaves wither from the bottom up:
Here is also a bulletin from Iowa that covers about everything:
re: junescook
California here. Not that that matters maybe, don't know. Just pulled up an Early Girl and all the stem plastic pick says is Y5601-181 and underneath that it says V 057025. I'll be taking this back to one of the places I got it, gotta find the receipt first so I know where to go. Way too late for tomatoes to start again but maybe I can exchange it for a proper vegetable that it's not too late for. I pulled up this plant, should have started this post saying that, from the roots and there are roots and they don't appear to have either of these dilemmas, as previously mentioned, according to the pix. I'm simply stumped.
june, the first link doesn't work for me, maybe it's an inside link only for your company?
re: iL Divo
Early Girl is only VFF, which means not resistant to nematodes. A lot of places do not show resistances. One place to look up resistance patterns for a variety is Totally Tomatoes (http://www.totallytomato.com/sp.asp?c=69) as they do display resistances and carry very many varieties.
re: Eldon Kreider
I ordered 30 different tomato seeds from them a few years ago.
I planted the seeds in good rich soil in cute little tiny 2" pots inside and watered them as they said to. I also used tiny Popsicle sticks to name them all, after all, they were all different. NOT one of them came up. A few sprouted a tiny bit of green but nothing beyond that. Talk about furious. I called them and they simply said, "you must have done something wrong."
Don't know what happened to them, but from their lack of customer service, I won't buy from them again, duh................
that said, I'll look into the link you provided, thank you for info.
Just watering my very dead and dying tomatoes, why do I even bother, I looked at the underneath of a lovely leaf, it had a small worm, not tomato horned thing, just a small worm sucking away...............maybe that has something to do with it. The spray some have said to use apparently only works if you spray the bug directly, well how does a person stand all day long waiting to see one actually land and then spray it? ho hum :(
re: iL Divo
Totally Tomatoes was very different when they were owned by a company that went bankrupt and were in one of the Carolinas. This company had a slew of problems and deserved to go broke. They are now owned by by the people that own Jung Seed and Vermont Bean Seed and are in Wisconsin.
In any case the link I provided was because this site carries a lot of tomato varieties and labels them for resistance factors so you have a good chance of checking individual varieties. Unfortunately, too many seed companies and plant sources do not provide the resistance information or carry a very limited range of varieties and so are not useful as a reference source.
re: Eldon Kreider
I don't know who was the owner when I bought.
Was told so highly to get my heirlooms there.
thanks again EK
re: iL Divo
<i replanted it, the one early girl <i pulled up.
i used vitamin b and fish emolsion to get it in the new place in the ground but know it won´t come back just a fruitless, no pun intended, attempt
re: iL Divo
You may want to try Tomatob.com- he has a good rep.
re: itryalot
Oh itry, I feel your pain too. sheesh, the little devils. I still won't and don't know what plagues me, but am sure it's a done deal now that I returned home last night, watered early this morning and think it's only a short while before I lose all my toms. Oh well, I'd say maybe next year I'll become more brilliant and put them all in pots, but the planted tomatoes I do have in pots are not doing well at all either. Not flowering, not doing much at all and very few flowers on them which indicate I won't be getting much from them either. Sad
A long time ago, a landscaper told me the best way to get rid of moles and voles (besides getting rid of the grubs that they like to feed on, which takes awhile) is to put a piece of Bazooka bubble gum in each of their holes. He claimed after they ate it their insides got gummed up and they died. I know it sounds weird but when we do it, we'll be the only people on the block without problems. It's cheap enough to give it a try anyway!
re: coll
wow and I know where to buy Bazooka at Albertsons market too.
great idea.
so coming home today from work, went in back yard to look at my pitiful tomato plants.
same big honkin lizard in there that I've seen several times. I keep thinking I'm seeing a snake.
could he be eaten my veggies? also, when I watered the [not grown at all string beans] I really annoying pretty green colored grass hopper was just chomping away. I think the poo in the dirt in there is maybe from the lizard, ya think?
oh and the roma's are VF if that helps with anything, they're big time dyin
re: iL Divo
My money's on the grasshopper.
re: iL Divo
I looked it up and lots of people also swear by Juicy Fruit. They say you don't even have to unwrap it, although we do.
re: iL Divo
Gee I've never had grasshopper problems, to me they would be cute (at least for a while).
re: iL Divo
The little light green grasshoppers actually are katydids, the ones who supposedly foretell the coming of frost by counting X many weeks from the time you first hear them saying their names.
re: junescook
Grasshoppers and katydids are the antichrist, I must tell you. get rid of them or you;ll never be free of the hateful things again. Only bug I ever saw that could eat a fan palm leaf,, you know how sturdy those things are, all you can do is tear them along the fibers- well, I saw grasshoppers eating one once. I really, really hate grasshoppers.
My dilemma might finally have been solved last night.
Husband and son and I were on the patio in the back yard eating a dusk dinner. There is a block wall in the far back of our yard. It's tiered so going from tallest to lower on the down side, we live in the mountains and our residential street is on a hill. On the block wall are 6 large hanging Malibu lights, that do a bang up job [along with all our other Malibu lights out there] lighting things/the yard up. We call our back yard "the airport" because from above we're convinced that many a plane has thought of landing there due to the over abundance of "all in a row" and many rows at that of lights. They line every part we're trying to accentuate. So as I'm eating, I'm also looking at the plants that are underneath that block wall that those hanging lights light up or eluminate at night. I watched, just caught it at the right time, the worlds largest desert rat run across the wall and down the wall into my tomatoes/green beans/strawberrys/hot peppers/oregano/chive/shallot/basil[s]/rose/bell pepper garden. My husband didn't see it but our son did and said "that thing's huge". I walked over there but too dark to see where he was hiding. No doubt he's the varment [or one of them amoung many] that's been dining on my hard work. Son said, "set traps mom". So...................................we have traps, what do I put in them? Now the "size" ahem...of the "poo" I've viewed in there makes sense.
If you know what I should put in the traps, please tell me. I also think that's what the Siberians have been trying to get to in the garden, the rats, not the strawberries.
re: iL Divo
I know peanut butter works great on mice.
re: coll
that's what our son said, "peanut butter or cheese"
I'll try both........
question is, how do I prevent this from happening next season?
do I completely use screen shading all the way up the walls and on the sides and front so they can't get in? or do their teeth make short guess work of the shading material?
I guess we could use really small chicken wire so they can't fit through.
just now watering the front patio, which is sizeable [and I have many plants out there in terra cottas too] I noticed poo rements on the stucco'd block walls lining the front porch. wondering where that came from, it was small though unlike in the garden in the back yard where it's larger, there they were. many gosh darn stupid little light green grasshoppers chomping away on my new growth of buds and leaves on the existing tomato plants out there, completely leaving alone the aphids or bugs like I thought they were supposed to devour. dang.............
I have that plant spray for bugs and did use it as it says you have to hit the bug, not the plants per say........
re: iL Divo
When you have problems, you have to have the traps out pretty much permanently. Most people I know use the big metal ones so you don't have to see dead creatures laying around your yard. Just hide them out of sight somewhere. I'm sure they have lots of friends and relations waiting to take over their territory after they're gone, so don't take the traps away once you kill any. When you see droppings everywhere, you have no choice. Fencing isn't going to do it, they can dig under it anyway.
re: coll
my girlfriend in chicago just told me to inject hotdogs with anti freeze. sounds good to me. put them on top of that block wall or even in the garden in case it decides not to scrawl the wall and goes straight in.
so I gotta find really big metal ones then, ok, thanks for help, anything is helpful as I know nothing..........
re: iL Divo
The boxes are not that big, maybe a little bigger than a rat. Look around your local restaurants and you're bound to see a few. They sell them at every hardware store, Home Depot, Agway etc
re: iL Divo
I'm sure anitfreeze would kill them too, definitely kills dogs that drink it, and little kids. It wouldn't be my first choice though. I think it's a really long painful death (like a week while your kidneys shut down) and I don't wish that on anyone, not even a rat.
re: iL Divo
I agree with coll. Don't use antifreeze! It will kill any other animal that's enticed by easy meat, including humans. Don't even use it in the traps. Peanut butter is the better bait, or peanut butter and sweet fruit like banana.
re: morwen
dang, ok, you two are right............
I'll figure something out, peanut butter or/and bananas
re: iL Divo
OK this is so weird, but when I came home last night there was a big pamphlet from the county in my door, apparently someone in the neighborhood saw a rat and was horrified. They recommend rat poison, which is an anti-coagulant that works within 24 hours (I think it comes with the metal box I mentioned above? or you can get it at the same time) Also, they eat things on the ground, like fallen fruits, nuts and vegetables, but also bird seed, grass seed and pet food so don't keep any outside. They like dog doo too, don't know if you have a dog but that's a new one to me. They also said wherever you see droppings you should spray with bleach until very wet so they won't aerosolize, leave for a half hour and pick up with a mop or dust pan while wearing a face mask and rubber gloves due to Hanta virus. Also spray area of dead rats with commercial insecticide due to departing ticks and fleas that have additional diseases that transmit to humans. Any food that was touched by rodents dispose of similarly. There's lots more but don't want to alarm you too much, I'm sure this is all overkill, I felt like I should pass along.
re: coll
Good info.
I've found that only certain things are eaten while others lay untouched.
We have Siberians, so yes to the dog question.
If the rats eat theIr p00 they aren't very hngry because pick it up everyday.
My husband won't do the antifreeze anyway cause he's scared (the dogs could get to a dying rat) and at very least, gum it out of thrill of chase. He also about died years ago when we'd just gotten our rescued dogs. Found our new boy Siberian literally standing over a bowl of antifreeze. Panicked and looked for signs that he'd drunk any, drips around bowl, wet face, breath smell, nothing. That was a lucky day but it took years off his life.
We're back to trap ideas. Killed (with plant spray) 4 very happy fat light green grasshoppers yesterday while watering tomatoes on front porch. Front porch has light stuccoed walks which had black specks on them, looking closer I was eyeball to eyeball with the pesky grasshoppers chomping on the young buds. Gosh this isn't my tomato year.
re: iL Divo
I think your rats are not hungry at all, since they're actually being picky. My gopher Bill is still around, luckily all he eats is grass. I guess there are rats around here somewhere too, hopefully they don't come into the garage in the winter.
re: coll
oh yea, very picky, not hungry, hum, well never thought of that.
I think the traps are the only way, cause the other is too scary.
those dang light green grasshoppers are so hard to see, I know our son will only wate while we're gone, he won't know to look for those pecks.......
next year........................it'll be my year [I hope].
I plan on getting a WallyWorld kiddie pool, planting my tomatoes in there and screening in the entire thing. *I'll pull up the screening while picking only, other than that, they'll always be covered so no grasshoppers. I think it'd actually be smart to put traps around the pool too just in case, won't waste my Canadian peanut butter in them, just old yucky wallyworld pb.........:)
re: iL Divo
If it works, maybe you could sell it on eBay!
re: iL Divo
Oh, good, I posted too soon, you already nixed the antifreeze idea. Thank goodness. Tell your friend about that- it's not a good idea to be spreading aroound.
You should still check out Arbico for the stupid, pestilential grasshoppers- they're juveniles, and they'll get much bigger.
re: iL Divo
You will kill anything that eats those hot dogs, and it's a cruel, slow, agonizing death through kidney failure- and especially tragic if a dog or cat gets a hold of one, or God forbid, a visiting toddler. No idea if the antifreeze stays in the rat's system so the next predator will die the same horrible death. I dont' think you want to do that.
Check out www.arbico.com. They are experts in specific biological controls. Please don't use the antifreeze.
re: emglow101
How do you know you're getting gopher wire instead of chicken wire?
re: EWSflash
The spacing in the wire is 3/4" across the hexagon and is 20 gauge. Look for gopher wire.
Those little ground squirrels are just hell on gardens here. In our workplace community garden, they went to great lengths to keep the critters from being able to access the garden, but three or four years into it, the little buggers have tunneled in, but I have to say that I would share my stuff with the little shits, they're so damn cute. last fall, I saw a broccoli plant wiggling, and at closer observation, there was a ground squirrel with its tiny arm around the broccoli stalk, looking at me, I just walked away smiling.
But a garden friend of mine said she actually watched her plants being sucked down into the below, a la Bugs Bunny, and she's a reliable person, so WTH?
re: EWSflash
Time to start playing Elmer Fudd!
re: coll
Most of my garden friends are animal lovers, but it does cost a lot more to keep them out than kill them. I could never kill aground squirrel. I've brought my at-work golf cart to screeching halts because a baby ground squirrel didn't know what to do. I think I'd risk hurting a coworker by slamming on the brakes over killing a squirrel or ground squirrel.
re: EWSflash
Get the gopher wire. You can still enjoy them burrowing without ruining your garden. No poison or traps. The cat will stare at the gopher holes for hours on end. You can't win.
This year I decided to grow my tomatoes in a bag of soil. In the UK you can buy Growbags at the garden centers so I thought I could try to make my own.
I bought a bag of potting soil, laid it flat on some grass in my yard, made a slit lengthways along the flattened bag and put 4 small tomato plants into it along the line of the slit. I pushed bamboo canes into the grass through the bag so provide drainage and support.
As the plants grew I carried on tying them to the canes. This is my best year for tomatoes, these little Home Depot plants are producing plenty of delicious tomatoes, the soil doesn't dry out because it's in plastic in the bag and I haven't seen a leaf miner or any other pests.
Next year I'll do peppers and squash the same way. When my tomatoes are done I can empty the soil straight into my flower beds.

Pupcake Pooch Parties: Meet the models
Date: October 3, 2012
by: Robin Hartill | City Editor
Shannon Gault got some of Longboat Key's most prominent pups to model for her new business, Pupcake Pooch Parties. Here are the furry faces that agreed to work — but only for food.
B.B. Gault
Birthday: Nov. 29, 2003
Parents: Bob and Shannon Gault
Mark your calendars, because B.B. Gault has a birthday coming up. According to owner Shannon Gault, B.B. didn't get a party last year but this year could get a new dress and one of her favorite apple banana cakes.
B.B. may be small but don't let her size fool you. The miniature pincher's parents describe her as the boss dog who lets her younger (but bigger) brother Shadow know who is in charge.
Shadow Gault
Birthday: Feb. 13, 2009
Parents: Bob and Shannon Gault
Shadow Gault is the four-year-old younger brother of B.B. Gault. The miniature greyhound's parents say he looks elegant like Fred Astaire but has a personality more like Larry the Cable Guy.
Shadow worships his older sister, B.B., but has his eye on Muffin Larson, who lives across the street and even stole a kiss from her during a photo shoot.
Muffin Larson
Birthday: Feb. 13, 2009
Parents: Jim and Lynn Larson
You've seen that face around Longboat Key Town Hall and in this year's Freedom Fest Parade. That's because Muffin is the canine kid of Commissioner Lynn Larson.
Muffin, a miniature Yorkshire is the tiniest model and can easily fit inside a purse. And in addition to her political connections, she is also Shadow Gault's love interest.
Muffin also has a pet sibling: a parakeet named Tweetie Bird.
Elvis Valentine
Birthday: Dec. 23, 2007
Parents: Allen Hovis and Marnie Matarese
Don't think that Elvis ain't nothing but a hound dog. His mom, Marnie Matarese, described him as a successful entrepreneur who wants to open his own pet salon called "Doggy Style."
He goes by the last name "Valentine" because his parents picked him up from the breeder on Valentine's Day. In his spare time, he enjoys watching NASCAR and frequenting Sarasota's dog-friendly restaurants. He celebrated his birthday last year on the sandbar of Jewfish Key.
Ripley Wild
Homecoming date: Dec. 15, 2007
Parents: John and Elizabeth Wild
Ripley Wild was found running loose in Hillsborough County and got his home with the Wilds through Tampa Bay Beagle Rescue.
Today, Ripley maintains his own Facebook page with a little help from his dad. At press time, he had 42 friends and listed "Who Let the Dogs Out" as his favorite music and "Lassie" as his favorite TV show.

I do as much as I can. I do the important stuff. Then the semi important stuff. Then the stuff that can wait. So basically the dishes and laundry get washed daily. The dishes get put away before another load is started. The laundry does not.
I teach my kids school. But sometimes we go out to eat for dinner or I'm throwing together the quickest meal possible at 7pm. I'd prefer to have a plan but they does not always happen. I simply can not preplan how my day will unfold.
Tuesday is an example. The baby got up later in the morning (still wee hours but later) to eat so we got to sleep later. The other 3 in turn slept later because the baby and I were not yet up. So when we were all barely up I called to get a doctors appointment. I had 1 hour and 5 people who were not dressed or fed. Well, technically I was feeding the smallest when I decided to call the doctor and he could stay in his footy Pjs. I sent a text to my neighbor hoping that she could take my older two but she didn't get the message until I was already at the doctors office. We got dressed and food in before we left. We were at the doctors office for 1 1/2 hours. Then home to get ready for the X-ray visit. My husband was coming home from so I could just take the baby to get the X-ray. I had to eat lunch and pump before I left. Preen I got caught in construction traffic and high school traffic. Finally to the hospital parking lot and I was lost. Found my way, got the X-ray, headed to the pharmacy. It is now after 5pm. No plan for dinner. Not home long enough to set anything out. I'm pooped. We made it through. It worked out.
Wednesday, I chased my tail some but I managed to get a few necessary things done. Including dinner!
I look forward to my next nap or day I fall into bed before 11:30. But until then I'm going to be hugging my babies.

You will see others doing this because the demand for really high-speed broadband via gigabit-type fiber-based solutions on a targeted basis is going to be very, very high....The key is being able to do it in places where you know there is going to be high demand and people willing to pay the premium for those type services."
1 recommendation
Wasn't it a few years (or more) ago that they said there was no demand at all for ultra-fast connections and people didn't really need >100mbps (or was it much less) speeds?
said by InvalidError Most people still do not *need* anywhere near that much speed but that does not stop them from *wanting* it.
3 recommendations
Kindly do not tell me what I need in terms of bandwidth. If you are satisfied with your pipe by all means have at it.If I want the fatter pipe that Google Fiber will offer, then I should be able to acquire it. I do not have to justify my actions to you or anyone else, nor do I have to subscribe to your arguments.
I'm at the point where I'm so effin tired of hearing about the excuses of why AT&T, Verizon, or whatever mega corporation can't get something done. If there's no profit to be made from it, they don't end up doing it.It's time for some kind of paradigm shift to happen that changes the reason we do anything. How about doing it because it's the right thing to do and it's improving peoples standard of living. Does everything have to be done only because it has a profit to be made from it?The goddamn money is worthless anyways.. It's printed out of thin air and has no intrinsic value. Just debt backed by debt. It's effin maddening..I guess maybe by StarDate 2500 or whatever, perhaps the reason we do things won't be because there's a load of money to be made from it..
Believe it or not, Companies need to make a profit to stay in Business.
I see Uverse in some of the poorest parts of Chicago and Maywood
They should be allowed to shut down legacy networks IF they pass those users with equal or better service (hint: Fiber). If they don't upgrade, then they should have to maintain the legacy networks.Inner city areas are just as profitable as suburban in the telecom sector, yes churn may be higher but now you are raking in activation and installation fees when that apartment turns over every three months. And their security deposit (as they can't pass credit) guarantees that the bill will be paid in full (including cancellation fees).
do not tell me what I need....If I want
This is a horrible waste of resources.
The whole country should be built once with a fiber infrastructure
Does everything have to be done only because it has a profit to be made from it?
The goddamn money is worthless anyways.. It's printed out of thin air and has no intrinsic value. Just debt backed by debt. It's effin maddening..

Many insurance underwriters have combined the results of multiple catastrophe models as they change their view of risk because of the innate volatility in such models, said John DeMartini of Towers Watson. "All these incidents from 2011 and the change in the RMS model got people thinking that they need to develop their view of [catastrophic] risk. We should not be entirely model-dependent; we have other tools and analyses available to us," DeMartini said.

Mets 5, Braves 0
In a season full of key injuries and negative financial news, the New York Mets have found a bright spot: Dillon Gee.
The unheralded rookie is pitching like an ace.
Gee outdueled Jair Jurrjens to remain unbeaten this season and Jose Reyes hit a bases-loaded triple, leading New York past the Atlanta Braves 5-0 on Saturday night.
''I was really impressed because it was a game that we needed some zeros,'' Mets manager Terry Collins said. ''He's proved that he can pitch at this level and have success. All he does is give you quality outings.''
Pinch-hitter Jason Pridie snapped a scoreless tie with an RBI single in the seventh and the Mets took advantage of an error by shortstop Alex Gonzalez to score five times in the inning.
New York's struggling bullpen finally preserved a lead, too, with Pedro Beato and Tim Byrdak combining for two perfect innings to close it out.
''Better than the last few I watched,'' Collins said.
The Mets set an unwanted major league record Friday night: Their last six home losses have all come in games in which they led in the seventh inning. The bullpen had a 10.57 ERA over the previous 12 games.
Gee (6-0) won his fourth straight start, needing only 85 pitches to get through seven innings before he was lifted for a pinch-hitter. Showing smarts and poise again, he allowed four hits and walked two while finishing with a pair of strikeouts.
''He was definitely on top of his game. He was basically doing anything he wanted tonight,'' Braves slugger Chipper Jones said. ''Fastball in and out. Changeup, bottom dropping out of the changeup. Cutter, which is something we were seeing for the first time. Just really, really kept us off balance.''
Indeed, Gee said he fiddled with a cutter while warming up in the bullpen and used it in a game for the first time. He threw five of them and got three outs with that pitch.
Gee became the first rookie in club history to win his first six decisions in a season as a starter. Jon Matlack, the 1972 NL Rookie of the Year, opened 6-0 with one win out of the bullpen.
''I think the confidence factor is really good right now,'' Gee said. ''I'm glad to be helping the team. I don't read too much into it. I'm pitching to contact, changing speeds.''
The right-hander had to be sharp in his matchup with Jurrjens, the National League pitcher of the month for May. The two of them came in with the top winning percentages in the league.
New York has won all eight of Gee's starts this season, making him the only pitcher who has made at least five starts without his team losing any of them.
''He's good. He's moving the ball in and out, up. He changed speeds,'' Jurrjens said. ''Everybody's really about throwing hard these days, but what Gee did today, that's pitching.''
Jurrjens (7-2) was cruising along until his defense let him down in the seventh.
With one out, slumping Jason Bay hit a grounder to Gonzalez and the normally sure-handed shortstop fumbled it as he tried to make the transfer from his glove to his throwing hand.
It was Gonzalez's fourth error of the season.
''We blinked today. You can't get mad at Gonzo because he's saved our butts for a lot of games,'' Atlanta manager Fredi Gonzalez said.
Josh Thole followed with a double to right and Jurrjens grazed Ruben Tejada's uniform top with a pitch, loading the bases. Pridie punched a broken-bat single to right to put New York ahead 1-0.
Scott Proctor came on and Reyes ripped an 0-1 pitch into the right-field corner for his major league-leading 10th triple, prompting Citi Field fans to chant his name.
One night earlier, Reyes made a crucial error that allowed Atlanta to tie the game in the eighth inning of a 6-3 victory. A few innings before that, about 800 fans met on a pedestrian bridge beyond the right-center wall to cheer Reyes and urge Mets management to keep the All-Star shortstop, who can become a free agent after the season.
''He's an amazing player,'' Pridie said. ''We've had a tough little run in this homestand, so it was great to tack on a few runs.''
Justin Turner added a sacrifice fly, making it 5-0.
The Braves dropped to 13-7 at Citi Field and failed again in their third attempt to move a season-high seven games over .500.
New York improved to 4-5 on its 10-game homestand.
Jurrjens allowed four runs - three earned - and six hits in 6 1-3 innings. He struck out six and walked none. His major league-best ERA rose from 1.51 to 1.75.
''He was pitching really well and I just wanted to keep us right there,'' Gee said.
In his first nine starts this season, Jurrjens had gone at least six innings and not allowed more than two earned runs. The Braves said the only other pitchers in major league history to do that were Ubaldo Jimenez, who went 12 games last year, Randy Johnson (2000) and Lefty Gomez (1937), according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
NOTES: Fredi Gonzalez said Jones will be rested Sunday night and LF Martin Prado will move to 3B. ... Collins acknowledged the Mets probably made an error in judgment when they let 3B David Wright keep playing for nearly a month with a stress fracture in his lower back. Wright has been on the disabled list since May 16 and won't be able to do any baseball activities for another three weeks.

Brazilian club Corinthians are likely to part company with Romarinho in the next few days after it has emerged that the club have agreed to a transfer fee from El Jaish. Corinthians are the last non-European club to have won the FIFA Club World Cup after beating Chelsea in 2012. However, they have had to pay for the success by losing a number of important players over the years. The defensive minded team are currently fourth in the table after having taken 32 points from their 18 matches this season. The loss of Romarinho will be especially hard to take.
The 23-year-old is a key player for the club after having risen to prominence in the last few years. He scored seven goals in 33 matches during the stunning 2012 campaign. His goalscoring record has improved tremendously in 2014 after he has got 12 goals in 36 matches. The player, though, will be bringing a substantial revenue to the club. It is believed that Corinthians have managed to agree a €7.5 million fee for the striker. Considering that the Brazilian economy has slipped into recession over the last few months, it is vital that Corinthians bring in money through the sale of players in order to keep the club going.
"Forever in my heart," said Romarinho on his Twitter account which virtually appeared to confirm the fact that he is about to depart the club. Romarinho has been at Corinthians since 2012 after having signed from Bragantino. Despite being only 23 years old, he has already won a number of key titles like the Copa Libertadores, FIFA Club World Cup, Campeonato Paulista, and Recopa Sudamericana. Since much of the economic rights of the player is owned by third-parties, it is believed that Corinthians will get only 40% of the transfer fee.

Nicolas Lodeiro recently completed the switch from Botafogo to Corinthians. He has been one of the high-profile transfers in the Brazilian football this campaign after this switch has reportedly cost Corinthians around £ 1.5 million. He had signed a contract with Corinthians back in May, but the Uruguay striker has completed the move just now. After joining his new team, he stated that he is extremely delighted to be part of a huge club that has always competed for titles. He says that playing for Corinthians is a huge step up from playing for Botafogo where he has been playing for the last two seasons.
Last season, Lodeiro was one of the influential player from the pitch after scoring 14 goals in 50 appearances for the Brazilian club. It was his best ever season till date. After missing out on a place in the Uruguay national team for the World Cup 2014, Lodeiro will be hoping that playing for a club like Corinthians helped him get into the eyes of the Uruguay manager, Oscar Tabarez. The 25-year-old will be joining the new club at a time when poor form has seen them slip down the table. They are trailing table leaders Cruzeiro by five points after having played 13 matches.
"I've finally arrived. Time to do my part to show that I want to play and win many titles here. I'll try to do the best in every game. My feature is to not lose the ball. It is a very important stage in my career to come to a big team like Corinthians. I want to play and do my best here. I've been through a tough time but that's in the past," said the attacking midfielder. Corinthians have managed just three victories in the last five matches, but they have been unbeaten during this period.

Chile manager Jorge Sampaoli has criticised the Arena Corinthians pitch ahead of the final group match against Netherlands. Arena Corinthians will be the home of Brazilian outfit Corinthians once the World Cup comes to an end. A very impressive stadium that has been purpose-built for the World Cup, this will be able to hold just under 63,000 fans at any given moment. The pitches at the World Cup 2014 have so far been excellent, but Sampaoli has blamed the Arena Corinthians pitch for not being conducive to good football.
Chile going to the final match against Netherlands hoping to get a win. Both teams are level on six points after having won the first two group matches. However, Netherlands lead the table because of a better goal difference compared to Chile. The Latin American team has to be Netherlands in order to finish top of the group, which will be of major significance when it comes to the last 16 opponent. Brazil are expected to top their group, which will put them against the runners up of group B. Currently, this position is occupied by Chile.
Sampaoli will be aware that facing Brazil in the last 16 stage puts his team at a major disadvantage. Hence, he has targeted a win against the Dutch, but it will not be easy against the brilliant attack featuring Arjen Robben.
"We normally do not train at the stadiums. We prefer to stay near our place, also to preserve the grass. The surface today is totally deteriorated. In a World Cup, (teams) shouldn't be permitted to train at the stadium before the match. The pitch in the stadium is in a bad state, we don't want to destroy it more. Tomorrow we will have a match in the stadium on a pitch that does not reach our expectations," said the Chile manager.
Corinthians managed to continue their climb up the table after a 1-0 win over Cruzeiro on Wednesday. This was a very important victory given that their opposition were prior to the match. A defeat for even two dropped points would have put Corinthians at a serious disadvantage for the title. However, now they can hope towards maintaining their place near the top of the table. Paolo Guerrero scored the only goal of the game in the 68th minute to give Corinthians the victory. This was also the second consecutive victory for Corinthians, who have 16 points on the board of the nine matches.
As a result of this victory, Mano Menezes' team now moved level on points with Fluminense and São Paulo. Internacional are not too far behind and are also on the same number of points. Since Corinthians did not have much injury problems apart from the absence of goalkeeper Cassio, Mano Menezes named a similar starting line-up apart from the goalkeeper change. Walter, who was named in the Corinthians goal, made some crucial saves in the first of to deny the opposition. Corinthians also had several opportunities to break the deadlock in the first half, but were guilty of some poor finishing.
In the second half, the goal proved very crucial, as Corinthians held on for three points. The defeat for Cruzeiro is vitally important not only for Corinthians but also for the entire Brazilian league, as they had already opened a three-point advantage after just nine matches. A victory for them in this match would have almost put them out of touching distance. The top of the Brazilian championship is proving to be an intriguing title race this season. Most of the top clubs are in with the chance to win the title at the end of the season.

Dr. Paul Farmer, an infectious disease specialist known for his work in Haiti, has been to Liberia and planned to go back again in the fight against Ebola. According to Farmer, the outbreak of Ebola is a symptom of a very poor and weak health-care system in the three West African countries where it is spreading. In Liberia there is one physician per 100,000 people, compared to 240 in the United States. The president of Liberia points out that the Dallas Cowboys stadium uses more electricity each year than her whole country. Vaccines and drugs don't exist because Ebola's victims are poor and—so far—not very numerous (London Review of Books, October 23).

After reading all the rave reviews I had to give these a try. I purchased the taupe, gold, bronze and audacious asphalt. I have to say I was very disappointed. For me, they went on very chalky, almost impossible to blend and the colors especially the taupe (which I had high hopes for) gave a look of having a been punched. I tried using a different eye primer and washing my lid with another color first but to no avail. The bronze color I had the same issues with application and blending and couldn't get to work for me either. The asphalt color the same however, I did try using it with a liner brush for lining upper lash line and this worked pretty well, still a bit difficult to blend, but for lining I would use it. The packaging is fine and so is the price if it works for you. For me, I'm just glad my drugstore has a liberal return policy.

Perfect product! I'm 58 with a little crinkling on my upper lids. This matte cream goes on smooth as silk, blends well and stays on until you take it off! You can use your finger to blend it. It's my go-to product especially when in a hurry, and don't want to bother with eye shadow base and powders. LOVE IT!!

Love it - Kind of a slate or cement-like color. I added a black (MAC Carbon) to the outer V and a shimmery silvery shade inner corner, and it was an easy smokey eye got so many compliments
If it helps at all, I have a demonstration of how I apply it while I talk about how I like it (split-screen style) on Youtube. Search wjmalique and MAC Drugstore Haul :)

This wasn't taupe on me at all--more like a matte blue-gray. It applied really patchy and I couldn't get it to blend to save my life--it ended up flaking off like dry skin. I'll try it again with a primer under it, but this one's a fail.
I did buy this in Bad to the Bronze and the application is MUCH better, so maybe it's something to do with how matte this shade is.

Yes I love this!!!!!!! Its shows up gray-blue on me. Not taupe. So it was a surprise that its not tan. On olive asian skin, it is as close to a natural gray blue that is flattering. I have 3 of these tattoos, this is the only one I love! Its creamy and blends nicely! Beautiful look!

The product itself is really great... good consistency, easy to apply, and long lasting. I didn't like the color on me... it came off as more of a gray color than what I would consider taupe. If you're looking for a gray, then I would definitely recommend.

Surprisingly great drugstore product! These are very comparable to MACs paintpots. The only difference is that MACs blend a little better.
I only have the colour Tough as Taupe, but am planning on purchasing a brighter colour for summer.
I apply an eyeshadow primer underneath, because without it the product will crease...whereas the paintpots don't.
I like using Tough as Taupe all over the lid (I apply it with a synthetic shadow brush) then I apply MAC eyeshadows in Kid and Soft Brown into my crease. Then I apply MACs Dazzlelight into my innercorners and browbone. I have gotten lots of compliments on this look!

I'm super pale, and I'll be honest, this color, alone, on my eye, looks like someone punched me. A big bruised eye. BUT, I don't use it for the color, I use it as a base. I can load up any color on top of it (I love it under a shimmery pale pink), and my eyeshadow LASTS ALL DAY. It has lasted through swimming!! Go figure!
I have tried all of the primers. I loved Urban Decay, but this whips this primer 100%.

Yet another rave review for this product. I've used MAC Paint Pots and the MUFE Aqua Creams, while this particular Color Tattoo isn't as creamy as those other products, for the price point and the color payoff, you really can't go wrong.
This is a matte color, and on some skin tones I can see why some may not like the look of it. It can look a bit ashy and flat.
I don't have oily lids, so I can use this without a primer and it will stay on 13++ hours and still look as good as it did in the morning after application.
I use MUFE make up remover to get rid of it - soak a cotton pad and let it sit on your eyelid for a few seconds before gently wiping it off. This stuff doesn't wipe off easily!
Thank you to those of you who said it was a great eyebrow filler - you were right, I usually use powder but that comes off so easily . This is a perfect color and lasts ages.
Would I buy again? Absolutely. In fact, I think I need more colors now.

The product dries out so fast and it's hard to control how much you pick up and it applies patchy and creases even with primer on very oily eyelids. Wouldn't purchase again. The colour is nothing like how it looks in the glass on your skin.
