Q: We have a cottage in northern Ontario. On the property are 20 blue spruce trees. The trees have branches growing to a few feet above the ground. This makes it difficult for us to mow under the trees. Is it OK to trim the bottom branches? We love these trees, so we don't want to do anything that will hurt them. (e-mail reference)
A: No problem with trimming the branches. It's called "miniskirting" the trees. Cut the branches off with a pruning saw or loppers. Cut back to the trunk, but not into the trunk. Sounds like a beautiful place to escape to.
Q: I have some lovely tulips that I let produce seeds this year. What do I do with them now? This is all new to me. I have planted many annual seeds and bulbs with good success. I would love to have these seeds develop. It is such a kick for me to grow all this stuff. (Flesherton, Ontario)
A: Sow them this fall before the snow and cold arrive. Cover the seeds with 2 to 3 inches of loamy soil. They should pop and grow for you next spring, but won't produce flowers. Allow the foliage to die down normally, then dig them up and reset them next fall, but this time plant them a little deeper.
Q: Is it all right to plant peonies around trees? I have a medium-sized red maple that would look really nice with peonies around the base. (e-mail reference)
A: It's done all the time, so go for it!
Q: I bought some nice looking rutabagas from a farmers market. When I got home I cooked some, but they had a bland taste. Are there different kinds of rutabaga or do I have to let them set for a period of time? (e-mail reference)
A: There are different varieties of rutabagas. Could it be that you had turnips?
Q: I was told that striking a tomato plant with a limber branch encourages it to bloom. Is this true or false? I have not found any information to confirm or invalidate the statement. (e-mail reference)
A: Any movement will help pollinate the flowers. It can be on a trellis, vined up some bailing twine or vibrated with an old electric toothbrush. Commercial tomato growers are aware of this.
Q: I am looking for some tree wrap that is long-lasting and white. Do you know where to get some white drain tile or something similar? (e-mail reference)
A: Any of the big box or farm supply stores should have something.
Q: I have two beautiful paper birches that I purchased last fall. During the leafing process this spring, the trees leafed out, but only half way up. Is this a sign of bronze borer? Is it lack of root growth or water? (e-mail reference)
A: It could be a very strong symptom. It's easy to determine by closely examining the upper part of the trees where the foliage ends. You should be able to locate D-shaped holes (small) or a swelling. The swelling would indicate that the borers are active under the bark. If it was a water or root problem, the entire tree would be affected.
Q: We have several green ash trees on our campgrounds and office lawn. However, the trees appear to be dying. They started to bud and some actually got leaves, but the majority only has small buds. Can you tell me what might be wrong and if they will come back next year? I hate to take them out if they may come back. (e-mail reference)
A: I seriously doubt they will come back next year. Leaves are necessary for food production. When they are gone, no food is produced, so the plant dies. If this is affecting all of the trees in the same manner, then my first suspicion is an environmental event happened, such as spray drift, soil migration of a herbicide or vandalism. If it is selective, then it might be a vascular disease, such as verticillium wilt. If there are holes about the size of a 22-caliber bullet in the trees and you live anywhere near the state of Michigan, then it could be emerald ash borer. I suggest you get someone from the Forest Service, Extension Service or International Society of Arboriculture to check what caused their demise. If it is emerald ash borer, then the trees have to be removed and the wood burned right away. The area also would be placed under quarantine.
Q: I live in Regina, Saskatchewan. I have a beautiful crab apple tree. However, I have not been able to use the fruit for the last three years because every apple is being destroyed by worms. The outside looks OK for most of the summer, but then the worms hit. (e-mail reference)
A: The time to spray is at blossom drop. As the flower petals begin dropping, apply the appropriate insecticide for your region and again 10 days later. This should take care of these pests, which are likely apple maggots. The apple maggot eggs are laid by flies on the developing fruit.
Q: I just purchased some property that has a small raspberry patch. I got a nice crop in June and am now getting another one. I've been told that these are everbearing raspberries. I've never maintained a patch before, so I am looking for some help in trimming and controlling weeds. I trimmed the dead stems to the ground, removed the weeds. I plan to trim the other stems to about chest high next spring. I was told to do it this way so I wouldn't lose my June crop. Is this correct? Also, is there anything that I can use to control grass? I think it is grass from the lawn that is spreading into the patch. If I get rid of all of the grass, would it be helpful to put down a shallow layer of wood chip mulch or would that be harmful to the raspberries? (e-mail reference)
A: The person who told you what to do gave you the correct information. It is what I did in another life as a small raspberry farmer and do it to this day with my raspberry patch. To control the grass in your raspberries, you need to use a product that contains sethoxydim as the active ingredient. There are several brands on the market, but check the label to be sure that raspberries are one of the approved crops.
Q: When is the best time to fertilize flowering crab trees? They were moved a year or two ago and were doing fine, but now look a little sick. They look as though they are losing leaves and some of the smaller branches are drying up. (e-mail reference)
A: Tree fertilization is done in early spring. You can download the basics of doing so from my Web site at http://www.ag.ndsu.edu/pubs/trees.html. Click on H1035 and download the version you want.
Q: Last summer we bought a hibiscus that had beautiful green leaves and flowers. We brought it in for the winter and it seemed OK. In early spring, we set it out on a nice day, but evidently it got too much sun, so it dropped almost all of its foliage. It had one stalk that did stay and kept growing. We finally pruned most of the one stalk back and carefully put it back outside. It's full and green, but does not have flowers. Any ideas how to make it bloom again? (e-mail reference)
A: They flower on new growth as long as it isn't overfertilized. Have a little more patience.
Q: I have a medium-sized boxelder tree. It bears seeds, so I guess it's a female. The problem I have is that there are a lot of small, dead branches on the ends of the long, large branches. I pruned the tree two years ago to take out a lot of the dead sticks. The pruning did make the tree look healthier. However, it seems that a lot more dead sticks are developing. Is this normal? The leaf color and shape of the tree look normal. (e-mail reference)
A: Unfortunately, yes it's normal. This is one of the reasons we like to keep them confined to shelterbelt plantings.
Q: Would it be wise to use creeping Jenny in the dirt openings of a rock wall to keep the dirt in the crevices? Do you think it would spread beyond the wall? Is it a perennial or does it come up from seed? (e-mail reference)
A: I would suffer too much guilt recommending anything like that for your planting! You can use plenty of rock garden plants rather than capitulating to this lowly weed that would cover everything and then some. Visit a local garden center and look for sedum, hens and chicks or creeping phlox to do the job.
Q: A landowner in central South Dakota wants help with the prickly pear in his yard. I've done some research on the Internet that recommends using Tordon or Surmount on pasture or rangelands. Can you provide any recommendations for use on lawns? (e-mail reference)
A: The product known as Trimec will control this invasive pest. Apply according to label directions.
Q: I have a nine-year-old red dragon Japanese maple tree. We are moving to a new location in the same city. How do we move the tree? (Macedonia, Ohio)
A: Give the tree's beautiful red foliage a kiss goodbye and wish it well under the new owner's tutelage. Japanese maples do not transplant well and a tree this age would stand little chance of surviving at a new location. You might as well put a new tree on your list of needed items for your new home. Sorry!
Q: I have a producer who has asked me about planting blueberry bushes in western North Dakota. I'm not sure where she got the bushes. Can you give me any information? (e-mail reference)
A: She must be mistaken unless she has a peat bog with high acidity on her property. Generally, blueberries are not recommended for our area because of the soil type and temperature extremes. Consequently, I have no valid information to pass on.
Q: Last fall I collected several Colorado spruce seeds from the surface of our driveway in central Minnesota. Before the ground froze, I planted the seeds over a square yard of tilled soil that gets direct sunlight. I varied the depth of the seeds because I wanted to make sure that some would sprout. I also placed fencing around the area to keep rodents and rabbits out. However, the only thing that grew was the weeds. Are there some steps I missed or are there particular soils or moisture levels that work better for promoting growth? The area where they were planted contained several inches of black topsoil. I have several Colorado spruce and white spruce comingled as a windbreak and natural fence on the edge of our property. Colorado spruce is a denser and fuller tree than any of the white spruce. I noticed that you prefer Black Hills spruce. Does this spruce have dense foliage and a similar columnar appearance when mature? Would it be better to get some Black Hills spruce seedlings for the edge of the property? (e-mail reference)
A: Collecting the seed at just the right time is of utmost importance in getting viable seed. Even at the perfect time, set low expectations. Collect cones shortly after the male pollen is shed and store them in a cool location. It is at this point that the spruce seed is most viable and can be sown in a full-light location with no pretreatment. Usually, there are a high percentage of empty seeds in any spruce seed lot. The heavier seeds are more likely to germinate. If you wait until fall to collect the seed, assuming there are any remaining, it is likely that these are blanks because the wildlife in the area is smart enough to pick out the plumper, heavier seeds for a meal. I would suggest making a small bed of pasteurized soil to sow the seeds in. When germination and the first leaves appear, transplant them to the desired location. I like the Black Hills spruce for a number of reasons. I used to be in the landscaping business and hated planting blue spruce because of the hypodermic needlelike foliage. Blue spruce is a grossly overplanted species, which provides good opportunity for disease and insect problems. Blue spruce have too much of a "cookie cutter" architecture. Black Hills spruce has some variability, softer needles and I like the darker foliage in the landscape.
Q: My daughter is studying our plum tree for a school project. The plums are a lovely purple, but she has noticed that many of them have a brown patch on the skin that is rougher than the skin, almost scarlike. Could you tell us what this is because she would like to put it into her work and I also would like to know? (e-mail reference)
A: This roughness on the skin in spots is almost always caused by environmental conditions and not a disease or insect problem. It could be caused by wind blowing the fruit in such a way that it rubs against other fruit or branches, hail, a touch of frost or cold weather at the time of fruit development or sudden swings in temperature. Sometimes corky growth is just beneath the roughed skin. It can be cut out and the plum used for consumption.

G. Whiz
Ed Ulmer made films for a dime
He shot them in next to no time
From poverty row
without any dough
his movies run strange to sublime
B-movie auteur Edgar G. Ulmer spent most of his career
directing on a shoe-string , making many stylish and
eccentric works against all odds. His expressionist roots
reach back to Germany, where he worked with Murnau,
and with whom he came to America to work on Sunrise.
Pics, top to bottom: Tom Neal and Ann Savage in Detour (1945);
John Carradine in Bluebeard (1944); Boris Karloff in The Black Cat
(1934), one of the few films Ulmer made with a significant budget
(Ulmer's credit from Black Cat is seen at top). Below: Ulmer on set

KDS Card Pay Ensures Secure Transactions on its Platform with Advanced Technology
Because of the way the market is developing all over the world, businesses today are developing their ability to trade online. Ecommerce, which has grown very fast, thanks to widespread use of smartphones and penetration of internet to far flung areas, now covers almost all industries. Unfortunately, a new breed of online scammers have taken advantage of such booming growth in ecommerce, resulting in some industry segments like tech support being categorized as high risk. While most payment gateways don't allow high risk businesses to use their platform, some agree to be echeck payment gateway for tech support companies and a few other high risk businesses.
Computer systems are the lifeline of businesses
In today's highly competitive computer system support services market, the tech support segment has been growing very fast. Every business segment today uses computer systems for a number of functions and even those that don't have any use for computer systems other than accounting, needs tech support services. This is because systems can break down or face errors that can paralyze the functioning of an entire department, e.g. accounting, in the most minimal of cases involving use of computer systems.
Tech support industry can't be ignored
Hence, one of the key factors driving such growth is the large scale use of computer systems across businesses in all industries worldwide. The tech support industry is now worth over $164 billion and expected to grow steadily in future. There's no way this critical industry can be ignored or restricted in any way because without computer systems working well, the whole world can come to a grinding halt. An entire industry can't be penalized just because some scammers gave it a bad name.
Ensuring robust security is the best solution
KDS Card Pay is a strong and robust payment gateway for international transaction that enforces compliance of its operational guidelines and terms and conditions. Any payment gateway that operates in this manner will be able to prevent all illegal activities by merchants listed on its gateway against end users. KDS Card Pay hasn't marked the entire tech support industry as high risk at random as it doesn't apply the same parameters to judge all businesses in the tech support industry. This payment gateway runs on a highly secure cloud-based platform which has the technology to penalize merchants that fail to comply with its rules.

Wednesday, July 11, 2018 by The Press in OpinionLearn the dangers of swimming
Last week with the excessive heat wave in the Lehigh Valley, I overheard some of my neighbors talking about taking their kids to a local water park.
Shortly after hearing that conversation, I received an alert from wedmd.com about an article titled "July is Peak Time for Illness from Feces in Pools."
The article dated June 28 and written by E.J. Mundell talked about the safety of recreational swimming in summer.
Summer is a time when many Americans spend their days swimming at water parks, community and family pools, lakes and ponds.
According to Mundell's article, swimming in water this summer may not be safe if germs such as E. coli or cryptosporidium are in the water.
The article states, "These germs make people sick when they swallow water contaminated with poop," the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention stated.
"The statement accompanied a news report on 140 outbreaks of 'untreated recreational water' that sickened nearly 5,000 people and killed two between 2000 and 2014 in the United States," Mundell's article stated.
This article reminded me of a scene from the 2012 movie "Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days," in which the main character Greg Heffley encounters a young boy at a community pool.
Heffley asks the boy what is so funny and he says, "I'm peeing," then Heffley turns around and sees a diaper floating in the water and a little girl smiling.
How do we keep ourselves and our loved ones safe while swimming at water parks, swimming pools, lakes and ponds this summer?
The CDC in an article "Healthy and Safe Swimming" offers the following tips to staying healthy while swimming this summer:
·Don't swim or let children swim when they have diarrhea;
·Don't swallow the water;
·Check children's diapers, and change them in a bathroom or diaper-changing area — not poolside to keep the germs away from the pool; and
·Shower before you get in the water. Rinsing off in the shower for just one minute helps get rid of any germs that might be on your body.
Germs are not the only dangers lurking around water parks, swimming pools, lakes and ponds, drowning can also occur.
According to the same CDC feature, drowning is the leading cause of unintentional injury death among children ages 1 to 14.
"In fact, drowning kills more young children 1 to 4 years old than anything else except birth defects," the CDC states.
Growing up swimming in local ponds, community swimming pools and my family's own swimming pool in Florida I know the danger of drowning.
I offer several ways parents can protect their children from drowning:
·Never leave a child unattended near standing water, or swimming pools, water parks, lakes and ponds.
·Have a pool cover installed over the family swimming pool, if it is an in-ground pool.
·Whether the family pool is an in- or above-ground, installing a fence with a gate and lock is another way to protect loved ones from drowning.
Water parks, swimming pools, lakes and ponds may be great places to stay cool during excessive heat waves or to have fun with friends and family but they can bring unforeseeable dangers.
Learn the ways to protect your loved ones from potential harm.

While traveling in Chile, we visited some wineries near Santa Cruz. Highly recommended!
Casa Silva
Looks like an old style vineyard. Lots of wood, big-barn interior. Old wood tanks have been preserved and lined with stainless steel. Metal straps from old barrels have been reused as chandeliers and other forms of metal decoration. Big open interior space with lots of dark wood and tile. Looks like something out of a Zorro flick. Known for Carmenere and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Super modern facility, heavily influenced by Asian theme and Feng Shui. Grapes are sorted on the roof and then processed through the interior of the facility using gravity (to avoid pumping the wine). Beautiful rooms overlook calm pools of water and acres of grapes climbing the hillside. Wine is aged in a large room with barrels arranged in tiers in a semi circle – and music –Gregorian Chants – is played to soothe the wines. Known for Montes Alpha Cab and Folly Sarah.
Viu Manent
We were treated to a horse drawn wagon ride through the vineyard. 15% "secret" content in some wines. Known for Malbec and "erotic" Merlot.

Slideshow PlayerWritten by Rylee Newton
It wasn't so long ago that owning a slideshow player meant rolling out a large piece of audio visual equipment every time you wanted to share pictures with your friends and family members. Those days are over thanks to the latest technological advancements in digital camera utilities. Now you can create and view slideshows from the comfort of your personal computer.
It wasn't too long ago that we first discovered the wonders of digital cameras. We have all received photos from friends through e-mails, but most of us haven't received an entire digital slideshow. When you create a slideshow, it's important to find the right slideshow player. One of the most common audio and video programs is Flash player. This is available to most users.
Finding the Most Accessible Slideshow Player
If you're concerned that your friends and family won't be able to download your slideshow, it's important to find software that supports a slideshow player that is easy to use, and easy to download off the Internet. A media player is necessary for so many different online applications it just makes sense to have one available for use on your computer. Many of the best players can be downloaded for free, or upgraded for free once you make an initial purchase.
Most of the slideshow software on the market today is user-friendly and provides you with the options for viewing your finished products. When you find the right software you can create professional grade slideshows, screensavers and web content. These presentations can be used to bring your family closer together, or to improve the level of service you provide to your Internet customers if you're operating a business.

First, a cautionary note. If you think that In the Court of... is too early progressive, too experimental, and too psychedelic you should probably stay away from Lark's Tongues because it's all of those things and more. The music on Lark's Tongues was progressive back in the day when it only sounded experimental - like early Pink Floyd wrapped with an esoteric mathematical structure.
The 40th Anniversary Edition includes a CD and a DVD, the former with the remixed album (stereo) plus alternative mixes of three tracks. The DVD has the original album and the remixed album in 5.1 surround plus some video features. I'm only writing about the stereo remix of the album which consists of six tracks.
- Larks' Tongues in Aspic (Part 1)
- Book of Saturday
- Exiles
- Easy Money
- The Talking Drum
- Lark's Tongues in Aspic (Part 2)
The next three tracks capture John Wetton's vocals at their prime and make it clear why he was one of the top prog rock vocalists of his day. The mix of his singing with the flute and violin parts is done with such a light touch that they effortlessly propel these songs forward, especially Exiles.
I'll use The Talking Drum to point out that in my opinion the biggest beneficiaries of this remix are Bill Bruford (drums) and Jamie Muir (percussion). By comparison you could say that previous versions of this track (from vinyl, for example) are The Mumbling Drum. Everything is so precise in the remix that the clarity is almost startling, like a bright light without the harshness. It's also important to point out that the remix has not detracted in anyway from the vintage nature of the performances. You sometimes fear that a remix will give the updated work too modern of a sheen but that's not the case here. You can almost see the tie-dye in that bright light.
Finally, the gem here is the closing track and the KC staple, Lark's Tongues in Aspic (Part 2). After hearing this track and its progeny countless times over the decades it's great to return to the original as it must have sounded in the recording studio. The dynamics, the interplay of the parts, and the clarity of each individual part are all there to enjoy.
I received no compensation of any kind for this review.


text: Had the stag do for my mate Helmut today, being the best man and having taken him on a surfing trip the other week, todays do was a little subdued and local. So a the morning was spent at the shootin grounds. Thought I was going to be rubbish having last shot about 20+ years ago, but managed a respectable 18 out of 25 scoring more on the hardere traps. The rest of the day was spent on the pitch and putt courses playing very badly and then off to the pub.

You would never expect a $19.90 steak to be as tasteful as this. Marche Wovenpick's weekly specials has the Angus Beef Steak up for grabs!
Described as an "Angus Beef Steak with Potato Salad and Asparagus", this dish is large enough so that two can share it and fill their stomachs. The two thin slices of steak was cooked to a medium-well done state, easy to cut through and chew.
Grilled with a non-spicy somewhat black pepper-like sauce, the steak was indeed delicious, but started to become more "jelat" as I reached the three-quarter mark of the steak. The potato salad however, was actually basic mashed potato. You'll have to add condiments (salt, black pepper, chilli flakes) provided on the side to add a little more zest. The asparagus was plain, but was a little tough to chew through for my liking.
The Baked Salmon with Potato Salad was also delicious, but joined the "jelat" team. The potato salad however, was much more delicious than the one in the steak dish! This dish is also a weekly special, at $21.90! Do try it when it's back!

PALO, Leyte– The Department of Education (DepEd) in Eastern Visayas is set to hold this year's Regional Schools Press Conference (RSPC) and Regional Festival of Talents (RFOT) cum Yes-O Camp and Science-Math Fair simultaneously on Nov. 12 to 15 in Hilongos, Leyte.
RSPC aims to give opportunity for both elementary and high school campus writers to enhance their learning experiences and skills through various journalistic competitions.
DepEd Regional Director Luisa Bautista-Yu, in a memorandum, said that RSPC will also help student writers to "sustain advocacy on social consciousness…and promote responsible journalism and fair and ethical use of social media."
The competition is geared on the theme "The role of 21st Campus Journalists in Upholding Good Governance, Leadership, and Transparency."
Winners will represent the region in the 2016 National Schools Press Conference in Koronadal City, North Cotabato.
The event will cover journalistic competencies such as news writing, copy reading and headline writing, feature writing, editorial writing, editorial cartooning, photojournalism, science and technology writing, scriptwriting and radio broadcasting, and collaborative desktop publishing with e-publishing.
Also to be awarded are this year's outstanding school paper advisers and campus journalists in the region.
Meanwhile, the RFOT provides venue for students to showcase their expertise specifically in arts, language, science, math, social studies, and technology and livelihood education (TLE) through "exhibitions and performances."
The Yes-O camp aims to enhance creativity and knowledge of the students as they will join in various discussion of innovative ideas.
Winners in the RFOT will qualify for the national competition.
According to Sarah Cabaluna, of the regional office Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD), they are expecting more participants this year.
She estimated that over 6,000 people comprising students, their coaches and other education officials will join the said two events hosted by Hilongos district. PNA

Alignments are required for creating long and cross sections - your alignment defines the geometry of lines, arcs and spirals.
Alignments come with labels - you label the major and minor contours, as well as the geometry points. This can be controlled on an alignment-by-alignment basis, and can be saved to the settings for use in future projects.
Alignment tables can be set up by you - output alignment geometry along the whole alignment, as well as individual curve tables.

H.M. Weir Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrade
Location: Saskatchewan
Market Sector: Municipal
Delivery Method: Bid and Spec
The H.M. Weir Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) in Saskatoon is being upgraded to recover phosphorus and nitrogen from treated wastewater streams and transform them into a highly pure, slow-release fertilizer.
Modern Niagara is providing the process piping for this project, which is taking place within the existing treatment plant. Our experience working in wastewater treatment facilities is paramount as we plan and manage tie-ins to existing operational process piping.
Strong project management is also paramount, as construction must be scheduled around plant operations and planned shut-downs.

The other week I had the most random craving for rice bubble slice – I don't know if it was because it was easter (is it even an easter thing?) or if I was reminiscing back to 2005 at Mercury Bay Area School where we had bomb bake sales on a Friday afternoon, but I knew I had to make it.
So while Claire and Marie went out for a run I got to work in the kitchen melting down marshmallows, chopping up chocolate, increasing my chances of getting diabetes, and re-creating the slice of my childhood dreams.
Its so bloody easy to make, which is dangerous, because it's so soo soooo good.
I've chucked the recipe down below so you too can take yourself back to 2005 and munch on some chewy-marshmallowy-rice-bubbly goodness.
You need:
250g pink + white marshmallows
90g butter (chopped up)
4 cups ricies
colourful chocolate drops of your choice!
Line a baking tin with baking paper, the ideal size is probably 20x30cm but you just do with what you've got!
In a large bowl, put in the rice bubbles and half of your rainbow choc chips.
Put the butter and marshmallows into a medium-sized saucepan and stir over a medium heat with a wooden spoon until everything is all melted and smooth.
Pour the melted marshmallow mixture into the rice-bubble bowl and mix it all together well!
Wet your hands, and press the mixture firmly into the baking tin. If you feel the mixture starting to stick to your hands, just wet them again and you're good to go. Sprinkle the rest of your rainbow choc chips and refrigerate the slice until set!
Chop up the slice and pop it in an air tight container or straight into your mouth.
And there you go, dreams do come true ❤

I've just updated to ZCM 11 sp1a. The automatic update of ZCM agent,
appears to work but on a reboot, The ZCM login dialogue comes up and I am
unable to login to ZCM. I get something certificate broken or credentials
wrong. If I cancel this and get into the workstation, clicking on the ZCM
agent icon tells me that the service is not running. Stopping ands starting
the service doesn't help.
If I manually deploy the agent on a machine that has never had the agent,
then everything works ok. I would rather not have to manually update ZCM on
all my workstations.
Anyone else seen this?

12 Tip-Top Facts About NipplesKatie Taylor
We talk about breasts a lot. But what about nipples? They're an important part of breasts and will often give us a signal when we have an underlying health issue. Because we don't often see women's nipples out in the open, it's easy to think that all women's nipples are or should be the same. But they vary greatly in size, shape, color—even number.
While we take good care of our breasts and schedule our mammograms, let's not forget to give nipples the credit they're due. If surgery has left you without one or both of your nipples, then there are some things on this list you might miss, but then again, there are probably some things you were glad to kiss goodbye. Check it out:
1. There are 4 Different Types of Nipples
Nipples can be flat, protruding, inverted, or divided, which means it seems they can't really decide. About 10 to 20 percent of women have one or both nipples that are flat or inverted. And a set of nipples won't necessarily match. One could be flat and the other protruding, or whatever combination nature decides.
Of course a woman who has undergone breast cancer surgery may choose to stick with one nipple or none rather than deal with reconstruction (for all about post-mastectomy nipples options, check out this article), but two nipples can also appear on one breast. The extra is called a double or a bifurcated nipple.
Sometimes both nipples may be able to produce milk, though depending on placement having two may create a challenge during breastfeeding. About 27 million people in the United States have a third nipple, and they often are mistaken for a mole or skin tag. They can be easily removed if someone thinks that three's a crowd.

Why am I Fighting for My Kids?
2018, So Different from 2017, Right??? Errr...Maybe not so much.
Here are some quick bullet points to catch you up to speed on my life:
- Former business partner stole money..lost everything.
- My (ex) wife and I split up and I moved out. We're divorced now.
- Depression knocked and knocked and knocked, but I ignored it with my yoga mat in hand, carved out some sacred space and tapped into a whole power within me.
- Had a good job at The Angus Barn, but it, being a service job, kept me missing my kid's lives, because I had to work every holiday and weekend, so I left that job to spend time, the only thing I had to give, with my kids. It was very scary to do so, but I'll never ever regret it. One of the best "dumbest" things I've ever done.
- Went on to Yoga Teacher Training and I am now a certified teacher teaching yoga at Lifetime Fitness (freakin love it) and other studios in the area.
- Started working on a getting a non-profit org started...still in progress (had no idea how consuming yoga teacher training would be).
- My dad, after 15 years of silence, stepped back into the picture (walked back out, but then walked back in again).
Yada yada yada, sob sob sob.
All in all, a year filled with lots of catastrophes, but also new wellsprings of life. Through it all, Liz and I kept working amicably (keeping the most important thing about us, the most important thing), co-parenting and communicating well. For what it was, it was going well, but then 2018 happened.
- Liz met someone, fell in love and is now engaged to be married in June (I was told that. I, for obvious reasons, won't be going to the wedding so I'm not sure when, exactly).
- I had been going to the house every morning to get the kids ready for school, make breakfast, prepare lunches, do "the morning whatevs" and get them to where they needed to be. But right before school started in the new year, I got an email from Liz saying she didn't want me coming to the house anymore. Sparing a lot of details, that was a BIG deal, because that had been our morning routine for six years. It was a staple in my time with my kids and she wanted to disrupt it and do away with it. She wasn't even going to be around, so, I mean, why?
- She told the kids, without forewarning to me, that she was moving them to Virginia at the end of the school year. I found out via text message checking in with JB, my son, asking, "How are you today?" He replied, "HORRIBLE." Taken aback, I asked, "Why? What's up?" "Mom just told us we're moving." Hearing this news, I was upset, confused, surprised, pissed...all of the things. I texted Liz, called....no answer. Radio silence.
- She no longer received my calls, no longer wants to text, only email communication. The once warm and receptive Liz has become very cold, very distant, very erratic. Not wanting me to come into the house, not wanting to talk about anything outside things such as "kids have their appt at 5pm." That's the extent of it.
- In 2017, I had nothing but respect and good things to say. In 2018, I don't even know who my kid's mother is anymore.
Our kids are doing so well right now in their grades and in their environments. I've been a part of their everyday life...always. Taking care of them, coaching, watching, playing, feeding, traveling, washing, disciplining, hugging, loving, holding, encouraging, empowering, listening, praying, enabling, 100% parenting them. I am an ever-present help and fixture in my kid's lives. I am their Father and I love it...all of it.
How is it sensible to get engaged to a man whose wife died within the same year, with four kids of his own (3 of them younger than my oldest, 11) and remove them from their own friends, father and supportive culture they have here? Sounds like a world of impending grief and enduced stress (x6). I don't hate on transition. A transition of almost any kind is hard, and, on top of that, I get that the heart wants what the heart wants, but this has a whole different feel and context to it.
Don't be mistaken, I have no problem with Liz meeting someone. I have absolutely no issue with her new fiancé. This is all about my kids. 100% all about my kids. What is in the best interest of my kids? This is 100% of me wanting to love, preserve and love my kids the best way I know how.
So I asked Liz, what if the kids want don't to move and they want to stay here with me? You can move, but maybe the kids don't. She was, like, "Uh, no. I don't think they should be involved." So I was taken aback and replied, "Just to be clear, it's okay for the kids to live with you, but not with me?" She nodded in agreement. "Ok, just wanted to make sure I got you correctly," I answered back.
She's preparing the house for sale, she's not communicating, trying, I feel, to slip away cold into the night (with our kids), and I'm just supposed to pat her on the back and wish her well on her new travels?
So here we go...
Thank you for reading this. I love each of you. This is a really hard post to share for me, because it is so raw and sensitive to me, but this is my practice of sharing and remaining open to where I am. I don't really know how to wrap this post up, without it getting slippery-slope-diarrhea-of-the-keyboard fast, so I'll leave you with some hashies #hashtagmylife

Ceramics & Porcelain, Page Two
Of course, these figurines are another weakness. My grandmother had many such things all over her home when I was a girl. Guess this is where I acquired the love for them. Anyway, we were at the Hope Chest and while we were there, a girl employee was putting these out. I grabbed them up as soon as she set them down. I love these, and sure they are vintage.
Another great find at Maranantha. I remember these from my childhood, and it seems they were always set on a TV cabinet. I had to restring the reins, but other than that, not a thing wrong with this. The brass pitcher in the rear with the ornate design is made in India.
This jug is made in Italy. I have gotten quite a few compliments on it. Have since added a cork for the stopper on top.
Tea for Two. I probably made a drastic mistake. Not thinking this was worth much, there was a partial set of this design, but come to find out fairly valuable. This Dogwood Tea (by Roselyn) for Two Set is one of my favorite finds. The trim is gold. Also found the amber covered candy dish in the background at the same time. This set was incomplete in the store, so I bought the teapot and two cups and saucers from what was the partial set, and just call it, "Tea for Two." The only consolation is these were the best of the group as far as condition. The other pieces had been well used. Perhaps I can find more of these in the future and have a nicer set? That is the hope.
This is an actual antique serving plate, by Johnson Brothers in England. Found it at a thrift shop, and was thrilled to find out the age of it, which was early 1900s. It's only worth about $50.00, according to eBay, and it has gold trim. The wear on it shows it was used a lot, and I'm sure was a part of many family holiday celebrations.
Three geese ceramic. Would guess this is vintage, and it's nicely made. Very nice addition to my "greens collection."

Indian woman empowers women facing violence
|Moumita Biswas speaks on domestic violence, human trafficking.
Moumita Biswas, a human rights worker with the Church of North India in Calcutta, West Bengal, calls for challenging "the politics of injustice with the politics of justice."
In 2014, she and another woman who serve at St. Paul's Cathedral there will be the first Indian women ordained in the Church of North India as it celebrates its 200th anniversary. They will succeed a Scottish woman, who is the only woman priest in the diocese.
Moumita's father has been a champion of her ordination.
She had chosen a husband she loved, but seven days after they married, she was in the street, beaten. A victim of domestic violence, she lived in shame, even as she worked to empower other victims of domestic violence. She often went to the church to pray after her husband beat her. Eventually, she gained strength to leave the violent relationship.
"Over the years I realized that when home is no longer safe, the church can be of great use to empower women against violence," said Moumita, a single mother who studied at the Ecumenical Institute of the World Council of Churches near Geneva and graduated from Pittsburgh Theological Seminary in 2003.
"We always see glimpses of love, hope and God. As we share stories of terrible things, we also share stories of how the church of God can spread help," she said.
"Now I help women turn pain to power by combating human trafficking and domestic violence," she said in a presentation during the pre-assembly on the community of women and men before the World Council of Churches 10th Assembly in Busan, South Korea, during October.
"To weep is not weak when we weep about injustice done to us. Crying brings out righteous anger. It brings us life," she said. "We cry for peace. God weeps. Jesus weeps. Many weep, 'Father, why have you forsaken me?' We weep for life."
As Moumita spoke of her work against human trafficking, she said that "women are bought and sold in our own back yards"—everywhere around the world.
"Slavery exists and happens to women in our back yards. Human trafficking is modern slavery. It is the second most profitable industry after drug trafficking. It's the fastest growing criminal enterprise," she said.
The United Nations defines human trafficking "as the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring or receiving persons, by means of the threat or use of force, or other forms of coercion, abduction, fraud, deception, the abuse of power or a position of vulnerability, or the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person for the purpose of exploitation. Exploitation includes prostitution of others or other forms of sexual exploitation, forced labor or services, slavery or practices similar to slavery, servitude or the removal of organs."
With more than 800,000 people trafficked each year, she said it's "a pressing global reality we need to explore given the rising number of slave traders and profits at $20 billion."
Women and children, as the most vulnerable people, are caught in human trafficking.
Her anger about it was further stirred when a friend went to Gili, the capital, and returned crying and shaken. Men had taken her, but another woman helped her escape.
Moumita described some of the many forms of human trafficking:
• In Bangladesh, oxytocin, a hormone given to cows to produce more milk, is given to trafficked girls so they will be voluptuous.
• Some three- to five-years olds are taken to be camel jockeys. They cannot weigh more than 44 pounds, so they are fed little and do not grow. They race from 4 a.m. to noon on the hot desert.
• In China, women took out a boy's eyes to sell for an organ transplant. Kidneys are also sold.
• In Europe, China and Russia, there are mail-order brides.
• Thai women, who are sold as slaves, are forced into prostitution. Men are also prostituted.
• Some traffic virgin girls because of the belief that having sex with a virgin will cure a man of HIV/AIDS.
• Children are also trafficked to be soldiers in Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Africa.
• Some are bonded as agricultural workers.
• Gangs traffic children in India to be beggars.
"Trafficking of women is age old," Moumita said, suggesting human trafficking and slavery can be stopped if people know it is in their back yards and act on that awareness.
"We must become aware, break the silence, educate and advocate. We can buy fair trade products. We can hold protest rallies when someone is raped," she said.
Moumita said that the Salvation Army in the United States has a Day of Prayer for Victims of Sex Trafficking. In the United Kingdom, Salvation Army members collected newspapers, cut out ads on sex and sent them to the newspapers, saying, "Thanks but no thanks! It's human trafficking." In a few months, the ads stopped.
"Spiritually, we must reclaim and nurture constructive anger," she said. "Trafficking is a crime, a human rights violation. How are churches and church women using their voices?"
For information, email firstname.lastname@example.com.
In the Inland Northwest, Lutheran Community Services' Spokane Crime Victim Service Center, Catholic Charities Spokane, World Relief, the YWCA Alternatives to Domestic Violence, the Salvation Army and the Intercommunity Center for Peace and Justice are among faith-based programs addressing human trafficking.
World Relief is offering a Human Trafficking 101 class at 5 p.m., Monday, Dec. 9, in its office at 1522 N. Washington. For information, call 484-9829.
Also of local note, Moumita is a friend of The Fig Tree editor's daughter, Marijke Fakasiieki. They met at the WCC in Geneva.

An update on past things.
The European LD Champs where a big bad day that fortunately didn't left any regrets.
The weekend was all but good, me and Vanessa only got our bag with race stuff at 4 am before the race, lost in the airport. so its not easy to tell how nerve wrecking that was for us. Anyway, i felt very tired on the race day, since the beginning, although the swim felt bad i left the water not so bad as it felt as i was not so far from the regular guys that leave behind me. the bike indeed where i felt all my trashed legs. from km 0 it was all about pain pain pain and no power on the pedals so with 3 (of a total 6) laps i pulled out knowing that i was not going to have a good race so there was no point of trashing my body more and more.
Vanessa was 2nd overall in all AG but curiously was beaten in her AG but even so, she had a very solid race despite not focusing too much on it, so the weekend was not so bad for me.
I had a few easy days after the race and i believe my "road to Kona" begun last weekend. although if i think about it it was a long journey from IMSA to Kona. In all my Age group mentality i told myself this year i would be there competing ;)
Saturday i did 4:10 with Power hills and 1h run
Sunday i had a brick of 4:20 with 2X30 min at 280-290W followed by a 40 min run in a decent but not hard pace
I will have a middle distance race in guadalajara, spain this weekend so this week i have been doing some intervals and low volume.
3800 swim
1:15 ride
3900 swim
1:45 bike with 4X6 min
30 min Trun at 4min/km

Faith, Understanding, Support across Traditions
Thanksgiving Service,
November 25, 7:30 p.m.
St Joseph's Catholic Church
43148 Mission Blvd, Fremont.
The 52nd Annual Tri-City Interfaith Thanksgiving Service is sponsored by the Tri-City Interfaith Council and co-sponsored by Interfaith Women of Peace. This year's theme is "Building Community; Giving Thanks." Shamsa Rafay, an active member of the Islamic Center of the East Bay, will be preaching. Our own Pastor William will be officiating.
The liturgical fabric of the service is rich in readings from sacred prayers, chants, songs, as well as beautiful traditional costumes, dancers, and musicians. The importance of passing the sacred tradition to the next generation is highlighted as younger members of our faith communities' traditions share in rendering sacred text and songs.
From 1962 when three Protestant Christian churches gathered for Thanksgiving worship, this holiday service has evolved to reflect dramatic historical changes and diversity in the Bay Area. Vatican II encouraged interfaith dialogue between Catholics, Protestants and the Jewish community. Then in the late 1980s representatives from the Hindu, Baha'i, Muslim, Ohlone Indians, Unitarian Universalist, Latter Day Saints, Unificationist, Sikh, Jain, Buddhist, and Zoroastrian communities joined to share in the Thanksgiving Service.
Those who attend are invited to bring refreshments for a time of fellowship following the service. Non-perishable foods will be collected for Tri-City Volunteers. A financial offering will also be received for Tri-City Volunteers.
Parents are encouraged to bring children and youth for this inspiring and educational program. The Thanksgiving service provides a unique opportunity to become acquainted with the varied cultural and religious traditions which are such an important part of our community.

The Siberian husks are meant to be energetic and passionate about the work they do. They are always high on their feet and are ready to put their best feet forward on the work they are been appointed. In such a case, they are dug high in their effort to get the best out of them. Many a tie s due to their habit of being best in the work they end up having various diseases by their side. Among all of them, the one that took an epidemic state is a thew juvenile cataract. The dogs do possess very sharp senses among which the sense of sight is an incredible one but do get affected and end up with an eye disorder.
Cataract is often defined as clogging of the lens which results in sight impairment may sometime lead to permanent blindness if not properly treated. The lenses get weak and may result in difficulty in bright lights or may have a problem, in seeing at night or else may have blurred vision.this is a kind of condition which may start with one eye but end up affecting the two. the major causes behind the cataract are age, trauma or genetic. the Siberian husks do survive fit up to the age of 12 to 15, with the increase of the numbers their sight do become weaker unlike the case of the humans. the genetic association is also an irreversible fact leading to cataract. While stress factors may also end up this disease in your dog.
There are many prominent signs which prove that the individual does have a juvenile cataract. The most visible one is difficulty in blurred vision, facing difficulty in seeing a bright light or dim light. Sometimes due to trauma, the dog may end up having a cataract in both the eyes. To know it better, there are some other signs and symptoms of the juvenile cataract. There are a various classification of the juvenile cataracts of while some are discussed below-
- It is believed that people with nuclear and brunescent cataracts have a minimized ability of the vision. The whole process of the cataract formation os totally dependent on visual acuity. The greater the weak eyes are the greater is chances of having cataracts.
- Though not frequent but served on some individuals that frequent changes in the glasses and colored halo owing to the complete dehydration of the lenses, making it dry.
To conclude, there are many other diseases which hit the Siberian husks of which some are- canine glaucoma, progressive retinal atrophy, corneal dystrophy etc. Of all these, the one which is creating a matter of concern among the owners of the pet dog is a juvenile cataract. The owner is however advised to look at the progression of the disease and ask the veteran specialist to look over it and wish for the best treatment possible for it. Since he/she is a part of the family, its diseased body to create a sense of tension among the members and look after it well.

QUICK NEWS, July 17: Offshore Wind Price Competitive With Nuclear; Solar Spreading As New Energy Costs Plummet
Offshore Wind Price Competitive With Nuclear Danish Energy Agency's new estimate slashes price of renewable energy by 30% - bringing offshore wind on par with nuclear
Vilhelm Carlstrom, 16 July 2018 (Business Insider – Nordic)
"…In the past thirty years, Denmark has reduced carbon dioxide emissions by 30%, and even reduced energy consumption by 7%, while GDP grew 55%...[Its , the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCoE) calculator compares various energy sources on lifetime costs] beyond those associated with construction and production – like the socioeconomic costs of different emissions…[In the newest update, for] facilities commencing production in 2020, the price of offshore wind has been slashed by 30%, onshore wind by 25% and solar by 40%...[due to] a significant reduction in the capital expenditure and operating costs associated with employing the new technologies, coupled with increases in productivity…The reductions bring the average costs of producing one MWh of energy to EUR 46 for Danish offshore wind projects, EUR 30 for onshore wind, and EUR 40 for photovoltaic solar energy. That brings offshore wind on par with nuclear power, while onshore wind is by far the cheapest, and solar PV closing in quickly…The agency stresses that the results will vary greatly based on assumptions and locality…" click here for more

Matthew Phelan, July 16, 2018 (Inverse)
"…[A]ccess to decentralized power systems — including a projected 72 million solar-powered homes — will expand access to electricity more cheaply and more sustainably than past estimates…[and] the total industry investment required to achieve this is approximately $372 billion dollars less than recent assessments by the International Energy Agency [according to a new report from Bloomberg New Energy Finance]…About $162 billion is currently likely to be spent on expanding energy access…with about $191 million needed to close the gap to universal access…[T]he report's emphasis on decentralized energy grids that allow leap-frogging technologies aligns with [the newest United Nations approach. Energy companies can] focus their efforts on the last handful of places where traditional, old-school grid extensions remain economically viable until sometime around the mid-2020s…[Where the per-kWh price of grid-connected New Energy is not competitive, home solar systems or community level microgrids] can and do suddenly become more cost effective…[Of the 238 million new households to get electricity between now and 2030,] 72 million will use solar home systems and 34 million will benefit from microgrids…" click here for more
