Most bail bond agents make it their business to get their clients to court. But when Ronald Egana showed up at the criminal courthouse in New Orleans, he was surprised to find that his bondsman wanted to stop him.
A bounty hunter was waiting at the courthouse metal detector to intercept Egana and haul him to the bond company office, he said. The reason: The bondsman wanted to get paid. Egana ended up in handcuffs, missing his court appearance while the agency got his mother on the phone and demanded more than $1,500 in overdue payments, according to a lawsuit.
As commercial bail has grown into a $2 billion industry, bond agents have become the payday lenders of the criminal justice world, offering quick relief to desperate customers at high prices. When clients like Egana cannot afford to pay the bond company's fee to get them out, bond agents simply loan them the money, allowing them to go on a payment plan.
But bondsmen have extraordinary powers that most lenders do not. They are supposed to return their clients to jail if they skip court or do something illegal. But some states give them broad latitude to arrest their clients for any reason — or none at all. A credit card company cannot jail someone for missing a payment. A bondsman, in many instances, can.
Using that leverage, bond agents can charge steep fees, some of which are illegal, with impunity, according to interviews and a review of court records and complaint data. They can also go far beyond the demands of other creditors by requiring their clients to check in regularly, keep a curfew, allow searches of their car or home at any time, and open their medical, Social Security and phone records to inspection.
They keep a close eye on their clients, but in many places, no one is keeping a close eye on them.
"It's a consumer protection issue," said Judge Lee V. Coffee, a criminal court judge in Memphis, Tenn. Before recent changes to the rules there, he said, defendants frequently complained of shakedowns in which bondsmen demanded extra payments. "They're living under a constant daily threat that 'if you don't bring more money, we're going to put you in jail.'?" The pressure, the judge said, "would actually encourage people to go out and commit more crimes."
Some customers feel they have no choice but to pay bond agents' fees — no matter how outrageous they seem. When a home health care aide wanted to bail her son in New York City, she was charged $1,000 to have a courier walk her money a few blocks to the courthouse. A defendant in a serious domestic violence case in Santa Clara, Calif., suffering from a dangerous heart condition, had to have his ankle monitor removed each time he went to the hospital, and was forced to pay $300 to have it put back on afterward.
In Egana's case, the bond agency, Blair's Bail Bonds, would not have been on the hook for the defendant's failure to appear, because the bondsman diverted Egana from a court date for a case unrelated to the one for which he had been bailed out.
The use of bail bonds has come under attack in recent years because it keeps the poorest, rather than the most dangerous, defendants behind bars.
The bond agent takes a fee in exchange for guaranteeing the amount of the bail on the defendant's behalf. But the fee — or premium — usually about 10 percent, is too high for many defendants, the vast majority of whom are poor. So they arrange a payment plan. The debt, paid over weeks or months of installments, can outlast the criminal case.
The arrangement can include steep late fees or require signing over collateral worth many times what is owed. And while defendants, or the family members and friends who often shoulder the costs, typically pay no interest as long as their payments are on time, if they go into default they can trigger annual interest rates as high as 30 percent.
"Bail insurers have shaped the entire industry, as well as the laws they operate under, to safeguard their profits at the expense of people's lives," said Rashad Robinson, the executive director of Color of Change, a nonprofit civil rights advocacy organization.

Aditya Pancholi, who has been embroiled in a major controversy, recently had to face severe and heinous charges of rape and drug abuse filed by a prominent actress from B-town. While in the past, a lot has been said about his relationship with the said actress, this time around matters turned worse and legal when the actress and her family lodged police complaint against the actor on charges of spiking and rape. Along with denying these claims, Aditya Pancholi had applied for an anticipatory bail which was granted to him until this month and during the hearing on Friday, it has been extended until August 3.
Readers would be aware that Aditya Pancholi was accused of spiking drinks and raping a Bollywood actress along with blackmail from the year 2004 to 2006. While the actress has refused to speak about the case to the media since the matter is under subjudice, it is being said that she filed an FIR against on June 28 this year. Followed by this, there were a series of accusations that were directed towards Pancholi which the latter has firmly denied. On the other hand, he immediately had applied for interim protection from arrest and as directed by the court, the anticipatory bail for Pancholi was granted until July 19. On the said date, the court once again adjourned the hearing on the case and has also extended the anticipatory bail until August 3.
Advocate of Aditya Pancholi, Prashant Patil too has confirmed the developments in recent reports. The actress, in her complaint, reportedly claimed that Aditya met her at a party where he spiked her drinks and tried to establish a physical relationship with her. He later apparently took photographs of her and continued to blackmail her in maintaining a relationship with him.

WWS's Unique Learning Opportunities
Come experience the unparalleled feeling for yourself
Whistler Waldorf School offers a varied liberal arts and experiential-based educational curriculum that is developmentally appropriate for all ages including:
- Playschool at 2.5 years to 5 years old
- Grade School from Kindergarten to Grade 4
- Middle School from Grade 5-7
- High School from Grade 8-12.
There are various reasons families and students choose WWS for their schooling needs and quickly realize that there is no place else they would rather be.
Much of the difference is in how students, staff and parents feel when they are at school everyday – feeling welcomed and appreciated. It is a special atmosphere filled with deep respect.
On the outset however, many prospective families and students will notice the balanced, multi-disciplinary curriculum and school environment including:
- Small class sizes for personalized experiences
- A well-designed, well-supported academic program
- Early French instruction (from Grade 1)
- Non-Sectarian and Non-Denominational approach
In addition, there are many specialized educational programs such as:
- Fine Arts focus – including Music, Performance Arts, Visual arts, etc.
- Handwork/Crafts & Practical Arts additions
- Outdoor Education specialization
- Service Work, Community Building & Cultural Exchanges
A little deeper look on the learning opportunities
Fine Arts Focus
Music – Beginning with simple songs in the Early Years, students sing daily, developing an ear for tone and harmony. Younger students play wooden pentatonic flutes and by grade four, they start to play the violin as well as learn basic music theory, notation and music history. Middle grades "find their voices" through choir and by High School, students can expand their musical horizons and learn to play the guitar.
Performance Arts – A highlight of the school year is a dramatic performance that emerges in each class from the curriculum. Students take on increasingly complex parts through the grades, working together on sets, costumes, lighting and music. In the High School, students also study character development through the Comedy and Tragedy, Greek Drama, and Shakespeare courses.
Visual Arts – Students also learn a comprehensive program of art instruction, drawing and creative interpretation including various forms such as the Early Years work of painting and beeswax modelling to the printmaking, stone work and clay modelling in the High School.
Handwork/Crafts/Practical Arts
Fibre Arts – Playschool through Grade 7 students are exposed to a rich and varied handwork curriculum. Our students receive in-depth instruction on knitting, crochet, embroidery, pattern design, hand-sewing, and machine sewed projects. The students then use their experience in fibre arts skills to add woodworking projects which all continue through to the High School. The obvious benefits of the handwork program include improved hand-eye coordination, basic math skills such as counting, the four math processes, basic geometry, the ability to understand and follow a process from concept to completion, as well as and the ability to focus on a project for an extended period of time.
Practical Ability – In addition to the intellectual aspects, handwork is also a great opportunity to foster self-reliance and instill a sense of awareness and concern for the environment. Most of the items we use on a daily basis are mass produced and are often disconnected from how they are made. Handwork enables students to experience firsthand the nature and processes involved with making different items and using different tools and materials.
Experiential learning
Students participate in a wide range of experiential learning activities. Experiential learning in a general sense, is the process of learning through experience. It is important to note however, that experiential learning in Waldorf Schools is not limited to creating projects or visiting a farm. If any of you have ever been moved by a compelling story, an eloquent song or a powerful play, you will understand the power of imagination for enhancing learning connections, and as an "experience" in its own right.
WWS intentionally incorporates a broad and balanced range of imaginative, creative, and kinesthetic experiences within the academic program to enhance learning outcomes. A unique example of experiential learning at WWS is in the act of baking a loaf of bread in the Early Years program where the whole process is explored from grinding the grain, milling the flour, baking the bread to eating it with jam at the end. Other experiential tasks such as 'churning the butter', caring for the bees, growing vegetables in the garden or experimenting with science – it's all part of the 'whole' experience of learning at Waldorf.
Outdoor Education
Whistler Waldorf School engages all K-12 students and integrates outdoor education into its curriculum in innovative and exceptional ways, taking advantage of our region's rich biodiversity and natural wonders. Our High School students participate in 3 Outdoor Ed trips per year and students in Grades 4 and up participate in 1 trip. The primary goal is to provide all students with physically, emotionally and socially challenging wilderness experiences. Students learn to safely navigate in the wilderness and are encouraged to engage and reflect on their roles as stewards of the earth. While the outdoor activities are designed to challenge our students mentally and physically — for many students — the outdoor education trips are an experience of a lifetime.
Environmental Stewardship
The school, staff and faculty are committed to environmental stewardship in the planning, practices, and educational direction for the Whistler Waldorf. We believe in enabling students to become stewards of our fragile planet and students are engaged in many practical tasks such as gardening and composting and a love for the outdoors is nurtured throughout our curriculum. An example of an environmental project that the grade school has been actively involved in since 2019 is a bee-keeping project to learn and improve the habitat for honey-bees so we can ensure their survival for the future. Regular stewardship activities that the students participate in may be trail building, planting of trees, farming instruction and specific community recycling initiatives.
Service Learning, Community Building & Cultural Exchanges
The school provides students with opportunities to contribute and draw upon voluntary service experiences in their own school, in our community and eventually out in the world. Students are encouraged to help with community building projects (based on their main learning themes), which can help foster outreach and cultural understanding in both a larger community and global sense. By high school, students can choose to participate in International exchange programs with other Waldorf students, as well as a worldwide service trip where youth provide service work in another country. The learning experience expands in their understanding of what they have already contributed to 'their world' during their school years.

by Heather Clark, Christian News Network
The Democratic governor of Virginia vetoed a bill on Friday that aimed to reinforce the religious rights of students, stating that it infringes on other student's desires to be free from "coercive prayer and religious messaging" at school events.
As previously reported, Senator Bill Carrico (R-Grayson County) introduced SB 236 this year as part of his longtime fight for faith in the public arena. The legislation reinforces students' rights under the First Amendment of the US Constitution to be open about their faith without retribution or restriction.

Former Norwich student set to play leading role in Batman prequel 'Pennyworth'
PUBLISHED: 08:17 19 October 2018 | UPDATED: 08:18 19 October 2018
A former Norwich Theatre Royal arts course student will take on the title role in a new American TV series based on the DC comics character.
Jack Bannon, who grew up in the city, has been cast as the lead in 10-part drama Pennyworth which is a Batman prequel and follows Bruce Wayne's butler Alfred Pennyworth.
Jack, a former Notre Dame High School student, shot to fame in 2013 as Sam Thursday in ITV series Endeavour.
He made a move to the big screen in 2014 in Brad Pitt's Fury and award-winning The Imitation Game, starring Benedict Cumberbatch, as Christopher Morcom, the schoolboy best friend of Alan Turing.
The actor learnt his craft on the Norwich Theatre Royal's arts course and performed in productions such as Days of Significance, Sinbad and the Pirate Treasure and Dodger!
Jo Reil, training and skills development manager at Norwich Theatre Royal, said: "We are all so excited about Jack's news.

"It is wonderful that his hard work, and commitment has resulted in him landing such fantastic role, and it is great that his passion and natural talent has been rewarded and recognised.
"I remember teaching Jack in his first year here at Norwich Theatre Royal at the age of eight.
"He was cute and cheeky but it was clear he had something very special even then.
"He went on to spend eleven years with us, training and playing lead roles in many of our Youth Company productions.
"What is also remarkable is that Jack never went to drama school and has enjoyed a successful career through his own hard work, determination and endeavours.
"He is a real inspiration to other young people wishing to get into the industry and all of us send our best wishes to Jack and are incredibly proud of him."

Trojan Room coffee pot
From Seo Wiki - Search Engine Optimization and Programming Languages
The Trojan Room coffee pot was the inspiration for the world's first webcam. The coffee pot was located in the so-called Trojan Room within the old Computer Laboratory of the University of Cambridge in Cambridge, England. The webcam was created to help people working in other parts of the building avoid pointless trips to the coffee room by providing, on the user's desktop computer, a live 128×128 grayscale picture of the state of the coffee pot.[1][2]
The camera was installed on a local network in 1991 using a video capture card on an Acorn Archimedes computer. Employing the X Window System protocol, Quentin Stafford-Fraser wrote the client software, and Paul Jardetzky wrote the server. When web browsers gained the ability to display images in March 1993, it was clear this would be an easier way to make the picture available. The camera was connected to the Internet in November 1993 by Daniel Gordon and Martyn Johnson. It therefore became visible to any Internet user and grew into a popular landmark of the early web.
At 09:54 UTC on August 22, 2001, the camera was finally switched off, and the pot (a German Krups model, actually the fourth or fifth seen online) was auctioned on eBay for £3,350 to Spiegel Online, the Internet version of the German Der Spiegel magazine. Coverage of the event included front-page mentions in The Times of London and The Washington Post, as well as articles in The Guardian and Wired.[3]
After being refurbished by employees of Krups free of charge, the pot has been switched on again in the editorial office of Spiegel Online.
Other mentions
- The coffee pot is spoofed in the video game Hitman 2: Silent Assassin. In one mission, "The Graveyard Shift", the player can cause distraction by destroying a "coffee camera" in the kitchen.
- The coffee pot is referenced in the protocol specification for the Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol, proposed in the April Fools' Day RFC 2324.

Very comfortable
I love how soft these jeans are and how well they are cut.
Kut from the Kloth
Hi Meghan, thank you so much for your review and we are happy to hear this! Thanks for shopping with KUT <3

Not quite petite
These were way too long to be called "petite". I had to have them shortened by two inches. They also run big and stretch out quite a bit during the day. I want to love them, but I only like them. Hope Kut can refine the boot cut to be as amazing as the skinnies.
Hi Angela, sorry to hear the inseam didn't workout for you. Bootcut styles are mean't to be full length and on the the longer side. Thanks for giving the style a try though :)

Fit to a 'T'
When a T-shirt sells for $400,000, it is safe to say the design itself is firmly subsumed into accepted fashion. But whether of alligator skin or solid gold, Ts were once downright improper.
The Daily Street's "Icons of Style: T-Shirts" (Mitchell Beazley, $15.02) traces their origin to sailor's garb circa 1898, but the garments were considered so inappropriate by genteel society that not until the perfect pecs of Marlon Brando in 1951's "A Streetcar Named Desire" did the short-sleeved, thin-fabric, "buttonless" shirt reach acceptability.
But when something becomes so thoroughly part of the equation, it is natural to want to yank it out. EDGE found three designers doing just that.
Ludwig Van
It's not mainstream when you feature Audrey Hepburn with a ball gag. That's what Mike Dytri is going for.
"I've been conscious of my own style ever since I was a teenager into the hip-hop/breakdance scene," says the mastermind of Los Angeles-based Ludwig Van. "Later this would be called 'street wear.'"
Which has always thumbed its nose at convention, and with a name inspired by "A Clockwork Orange," one of the most dystopian films on record, so much the better. But Dytri puts substance to the company's "anti" vibe; unlike a mass-produced T, Ludvig Van shirts feature a custom shape and spec with a rear shoulder yoke allowing an anatomical fit. But throw on an authoritarian "Listen To Beethoven" slogan and, well, there's no rule you have to make everybody
And yes, this Mike Dytri is the same who starred in 1992's "The Living End," one of the first New Queer Cinema films.
Swish Embassy
"Whenever I would go into boutiques looking for a fun T-shirt, I would inevitably find the sort of designs that would hit you over the head with sexual innuendo," recalls Dean Malka of Swish Embassy. "They were great for wearing to bars, but it a little too crude for mixed company."
Thus, Swish Embassy is for men, by men, thinking about men -- but keeps it above the table by hiding M4M fabulousness in plain sight, like Ts emblazoned with characters from "He-Man and the Master of the Universe" and "She-Ra: Princess of Power," arguably the gayest cartoons in history (He-Man's best friends were named Ram Man and Fisto. Not kidding). It is subversive, but you have to be something of a "gay geek" to get the references.
And Malka is not above targeting a few sacred gay cows. "One of our most popular designs is the Masc4Masc T-shirt," says Malka. "It was inspired by what gays write on hookup apps. Our shirt is an ironic commentary, as it profiles a big fat unicorn as the main artwork."
Irrix Screen
Wear a creation by the wunderkind known as Irrix Screen and you have a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. This is a certainty, as he hand-paints each shirt as a standalone work.
"I never sketch out anything," he says, "it just comes from the mind. The Universe makes no mistakes, so there are no mistakes in art. I continue to paint until it becomes a part of me. And at that point, I would say that this shirt already has a home without knowing where the owner is."
From his cozy corner shop in New York's trendy South Street Seaport, Irrix Screen harkens back to the hard-edged art scene of Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring. His blocky, vaguely eerie designs descend from East Village sensibility before the boutiques moved in.
Using black ink and strokes both bold and wispy, the artist tells EDGE, "My inspiration is pretty much everything around me, from just doing art, people appreciating what they see and the people around them vibing together. It's a unity of society that plays off the art."
Not sure which design to get? Just ask the man himself -- Irrix Screen is his own best personal shopper, and regularly sizes up customers to find the right piece. It is all part of his drive to make sure the right shirt gets to the right owner.

Senior Aam Aadmi Party leader Sanjay Singh on Tuesday charged the BJP with having "denied" an honourable share in the Union Council of Ministers to its alliance partner Janata Dal (United), headed by Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
The AAP Rajya Sabha member and state in-charge said his party had "ideological differences with Nitish Kumar" but, nevertheless, was of the view that "JD(U) should have been granted a representation in the Union council of ministers that was commensurate with its standing in the Parliament."
"We hold the view that the BJP speaks about nationalism but practices Gujaratism. The PM and the Union Home Minister are from that state and so are their favorite industrialists like Ambani and Adani. The BJP seems to be working on the agenda of bringing the control of the country's politics and its economy into the hands of a coterie from
Gujarat", Mr Singh alleged.
He claimed that had the JD(U) been represented in the Union council of ministers, the demand for special category status to Bihar would have gained momentum.
"We suspect this is the reason why the alliance partner was denied its share", the AAP leader alleged.
He also alleged "the BJP seems to have adopted a policy of insulting its senior leaders, be it LK Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi who were sidelined citing their old age, or Uma Bharti and Sushma Swaraj who were eased out for reasons best known to the party leadership".
Mr Singh admitted that in the Lok Sabha polls "our party as well as most opposition groups were drubbed as the focus shifted from mudda (issues) to the persona of Modi, thereby helping the Prime Minister occupy centre stage who used it to the BJP's electoral advantage."
The AAP leader expressed confidence that his party, which fared badly in the Lok Sabha polls, would be able to perform in the Delhi assembly polls next year and return to power.
"We were out of sight and out of mind in the general elections. People were looking at Modi on one hand and Rahul Gandhi on another. But things would be different in the Delhi Assembly polls wherein we would be judged on the basis of our performance in government", he said.
Replying to a query, he said "our Bihar unit will take a decision on how many seats to contest when the state assembly polls take place."
The AAP leader, who also staged a demonstration in protest against the murder of a two-year-old girl in Aligarh, after suspected sexual abuse, also asked "why were the convicts of the Kathua gang-rape case merely imprisoned for life and not awarded death sentences."
"Bihar too has been witness to the Muzaffarpur shelter home scandal. Setting up of a single court, to which all cases of this nature from across the country could be referred for fast track trial, should be mooted", the AAP leader added.

January 30, 1986
A special election for President and Vice President will take place in the Philippines on February 7. This election is of great importance to the future of democracy in the Philippines, a major friend and ally of the United States in the Pacific. It comes at a time when the Philippines is struggling with the urgent need to reestablish a political consensus, restructure the economy, and rebuild a sense of military professionalism.
President Marcos has invited the United States to send observers to the election. Because of our respect for the Philippines and our commitment to the sovereign will of a democratic people as expressed through the electoral process, I have decided to send a delegation of official U.S. observers to the Philippines for the election. I would like the delegation to be composed of Members of the Congress from both parties and of distinguished Americans from the private sector. I also note that the party institutes of both the Republican and Democratic Parties have jointly decided to sponsor an international observer delegation for the election in the Philippines. I am confident that both of these efforts will make a significant contribution to this important event.
The United States left a legacy of democratic institutions in the Philippines earlier in this century. Filipinos believe in elections, as long as they are fair, to resolve their political differences. To safeguard the process, the National Citizens' Movement for Free Elections, or NAMFREL as it is called, will field hundreds of thousands of citizen election observers on February 7. Such citizen participation makes Americans proud to have the Republic of the Philippines as a friend and ally.
A free and fair election, if also followed by a genuine reform effort in the economic and security areas, will assist the Philippines along a path of growth, prosperity, and stability that will benefit the entire region. The Communist Party of the Philippines, through its military arm, the New People's Army, and its front organization, the National Democratic Front, is pursuing a classic military and political strategy intended to lead eventually to a totalitarian takeover of the Philippines. The Communist strategy can be defeated, but defeating it will require listening to and respecting the sovereign voice of the people.
I believe this is an important time for America to respond to the problems of a friend and ally at a critical juncture in its history. If the will of the Filipino people is expressed in an election that Filipinos accept as credible, and if whoever is elected undertakes fundamental economic, political, and military reforms, we should consider, in consultation with the Congress, a significantly larger program of economic and military assistance for the Philippines for the next 5 years. This would be over and above the current levels of assistance we are providing.
Note: Larry M. Speakes, Principal Deputy Press Secretary to the President, read the President's statement to reporters at 10:10 a.m. in the Briefing Room at the White House.

The steak is very lightly salted before it's cooked to get flavors going; then once it's cooked and sliced, it's sprinkled with coarse, crunchy sel gris. The finishing salt does all the heavy lifting, flavor-wise, with just a crystal or two popping with every bite. Don't worry if the onion wedges fall apart once you add the peppers to the pan; we keep them as wedges so there are flat surfaces to get a nice bit of char at the beginning.
How to Make It
Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle steaks evenly with paprika, 1/8 teaspoon fleur de sel, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add steaks to pan; cook 4 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Remove steaks from pan; let stand 10 minutes.
Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add onion wedges; cook 2 minutes on each side. Add poblanos to pan; sauté 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; cover and let stand 5 minutes. Stir in remaining 1/4 teaspoon fleur de sel and remaining 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Arrange onion mixture on a platter. Cut steak across grain into thin slices. Arrange steak over onion mixture; sprinkle evenly with sel gris. Serve with lime wedges.

Facebook Break - The Follow-Up
What a weird age we live in where I actually blog a follow-up on my experiment to take a Facebook break until the end of the year!!! But for those of you who were wondering if I could really do it, I REALLY have. And it has been GLORIOUS!! Now that's not to say I haven't even so much as been on the site, because that would be a lie. I'm on the site a LOT for the sake of this site and others that I administer, so I'm by no means a Facebook-hermit, but the only times I've even visited my personal profile are when I get an email telling me that someone has messaged me. I turned off all other notifications so that I have no idea when someone "comments on a picture of me" or "suggests an application" or any of that time-consuming mumbo jumbo.
But back to the glorious part...the FREEDOM!! I had no idea that I had been so subconsciously "enslaved" by the need to know what was going on with people at all times. Like I was missing out on something if I didn't follow the every move of my friends. But I'm NOT! You know why? Because now, we actually have something to talk about when we get together...we can "catch up." I'd forgotten how fun it is to catch up with people!!
I'd also forgotten what it's like to not be so distracted during my workday. If you work from home, you know how ridiculously easy it is to be distracted from the task at hand. Telephone calls, doorbell rings, dog barks, kid whines - - there are a million and one ways to be swayed from getting things accomplished. But I honestly believe that Facebook had become the single-most effective distraction of all thanks to the fact that every comment, picture, heart, and Like from my friends was instantly emailed to me and screaming for attention. Thanks to my notification-editing, this is no more an issue. And I've become Mrs. Productivity lately!!
I will probably trek back to FB in the New Year, but I think I may leave most of my notifications turned off. That way, I can visit once or twice in a day, check through the more important things, and then leave! I'm pretty convinced that this is a more balanced way to participate in this social network anyway.

NBA free agency rumors: Chris Bosh's comeback questioned
NBA teams are skeptical about Chris Bosh's comeback from blood-clot problems, according to a report on NBA.com that cites two unidentified Western Conference executives.
MORE: The 2017 NBA Finals: By The Numbers
Bosh, 33, and the Heat reportedly have reached a tentative agreement to part ways, pending finalization in the coming weeks.
But just because he appears headed to free agency doesn't mean he'll draw the offers he would've had he not experienced his problems with blood clots.
Of course, if he didn't have the health issues, then he likely wouldn't be a free agent, the executives' thinking goes.
"Miami had about 50 million reasons for him to play and could not get a doctor to clear him," one Western Conference executive said, a reference to Bosh's contract. "Very unlikely the answer will be different at a team with zero million reasons for him to play."
Although Bosh continues to express hopefulness about resuming his basketball career, the medical risks of signing him may prove insurmountable.
"I don't see how medical people will want to sign off and clear him," another Western executive said. "Unless something has changed with his health recently … I don't know of a team that would want to take that type of a risk. If something were to tragically happen, it's hard to recover from that. Very unfortunate."
Bosh has missed most of the last two NBA seasons since being diagnosed with blood clots — a potentially fatal condition if, as they did to Bosh in early 2015, the clots move into his lungs and aren't treated immediately. Moreover, in addition, the blood thinners used as a typical treatment for the clots create another potentially dangerous situation if Bosh were cut or badly bumped, causing bruising, while playing.

Table des matières
Rocks of the Kovik Complex were first mapped by Taylor (1982) who assigned the Aphebian age to all plutonic rocks lying north of the Sud Domain (also known as the Cape Smith Belt or Ungava Trough). Doig (1983, 1987) has shown through Rb/Sr datings ranging from 2934 to 2569 Ma, that rocks of the Déception Bay, which he calls « Déception Gneiss », are Archean. In most of the Ministère's work, the term « Déception Group » has been used to describe the rocks forming the internal northern bedrock (Lamothe et al., 1984; Tremblay, 1991; Barrette, 1990a, 1990b). This term was abandoned by Lamothe (2007) who introduced the name "Kovik Antiform", as suggested by Hocq (unpublished), as a lithodemic unit. However, this name does not comply with the rules of the North American Stratigraphic Code (1983, 2005). As a result, Charette and Beaudette (2018) preferred to transform the Kovik Antiform into a lithotectonic domain and introduced the "Kovik Complex" to describe geological units of this area.
The Kovik Complex stratigraphic subdivision is based on Lamothe (2007). Charette and Beaudette (2018) extended the Kovik Complex from 5 to 20 km north in the western part of the Kovik Antiform. These authors also introduced units of gabbro and banded diorite, with garnet locally (ApPkvk2a), metatexite and diatexite derived from partial melting of metasedimentary rocks (ApPkvk3a and 3b, respectively) and migmatitized quartz diorite (ApPkvk6a).
The Kovik Antiform is interpreted as a window of Archean rocks, equivalent to those of the Superior craton, within the Ungava Orogen. Although St-Onge and Lucas (1990a) highlight the complete and continuous transition of Archean rocks between the Superior Province and the Kovik Antiform, it was considered preferable to retain the lithological divisions proposed by St-Onge et al. (2006) and Lamothe (2007) and not extend the subdivisions proposed by Simard (2008) for the southern bedrock (Superior Province) to the north bedrock (Kovik Antiform). Also, Baragar (2015) proposes an alternative lithological division for the northern portion of the west Kovik Antiform. However, it was not included in this description of the Kovik Complex.
The Kovik Complex consists of an Archean rock assemblage of the parautochtonous bedrock underlying the Ungava Orogen allochtonous units. This assemblage is composed principally of biotite ± hornblende ± epidote ± titanite ± allanite tonalite or granodiorite (ApPkvk4, ApPkvk5 and ApPkvk6) with varying proportions of mafic and metasedimentary rock enclaves (Taylor, 1982; St-Onge and Lucas, 1990, 1992). Scarce klippes of siliciclastic metasedimentary rock (ApPkvk3) and extrusive or intrusive mafic rock (ApPkvk1) are preserved within or on the edges of tonalitic intrusions. Late metric to kilometric intrusions, varying from tonalitic to syenogranitic (ApPkvk7 to ApPkvk10), intrude into tonalite and granodiorite (St-Onge and Lucas, 1992).
Little information is available for unit ApPkvk1 that was only described by Moorhead (1996) and Charette and Beaudette (2018). This fine-grained rock is black in altered surface and green in fresh exposure. The appearance of amphibolite varies from massive to banded. When present, a compositional variation is marked by milimetric to centimetric melanocratic bands containing clinopyroxene and hornblende as well as decimetric to metric massive ultramafic horizons. In places, up to 7% discontinuous millimetric bands of leucosome are parallel to foliation. In hornblendite, hornblende forms up to 90% of the rock and is accompanied by diminishing proportions of quartz, garnet, chlorite, sphene and ilmenite, which is sometimes coarser-grained. Hornblende is very fresh and shows only partial chloritization and biotitization when in contact with garnet.
Mafic and ultramafic rocks of unit ApPkvk2 form klippes and masses of kilometre dimensions between the vast tonalite massifs and granitic plutons, as well as enclaves digested by these clusters. At the outcrop scale, these rocks are associated with tonalite in two ways: (1) interstratification of diorite and tonalite, apparently comagmatic; and 2) angular, low-elongation enclaves of diorite, amphibolite, pyroxenite and peridotite in tonalite (agmatitic texture).
Scarce late diorite plutons cuts the tonalite plutons and form bodies hundreds of metres to several kilometres in diameter, even-grained and medium-grained. A small mafic intrusive rock composite complex intruding into tonalite was mapped in more detail on the northeast side of the Deception Bay. This complex mainly consists of hornblende-biotite quartz diorite, which changes to hornblende-biotite tonalite towards the interior of the pluton. Quartz diorite contains inclusions of pyroxenite, diorite and tonalite (Lucas and St-Onge, 1997). There is a phase of mafic diorite associated with quartz diorite in which large ovoid plagioclase phenocrystals up to 3 cm in length dominate. Plagioclase phenocrystals have a hornblende core, and garnet inclusions are present locally. Clinopyroxene-hornblende-biotite pyroxenite forms a distinct second intrusive phase associated with quartz diorite and surrounding it. All units of the intrusive complex are cut by monzogranite veins. Foliated borders and a massive core with well-defined shear zones characterize the complex (Lucas and St-Onge, 1997).
Kovik Complex 2a (ApPkvk2a): Gabbro and Diorite with Banded Gabbro Layers
Subunit ApPkvk2a was introduced to distinguish mafic rocks that are commonly banded, but also occur as foliated to massive layers. Banded sequences are characterized by a compositional variation from diorite to gabbro. In several places, gabbro includes horizons rich in garnet porphyroblasts (0.5 to 1 cm) rimmed by plagioclase. A melanogabbro or pyroxenite is in transitional contact with gabbro or forms centimetric to metric boudinaged horizons. Banding is accentuated by leucosomes (5-15%) in bands or in discontinuous millimetric to centimetric clusters. These include garnet and clinopyroxene in places. A gneissic texture is observed locally. In places, metric bands of metasedimentary rock are interbedded in the banded mafic sequence. This banded facies is granoblastic and fine-grained, while the foliated to massive facies is medium-grained. The foliated to massive facies occurs as horizons in banded rocks of subunit ApPkvk2a. When massive, diorite and gabbro are homogeneous and locally show a cumulate or speckled texture. Cluster leucosomes make up less than 10% of foliated gabbro. The main minerals of subunit ApPkvk2a rocks are hornblende and clinopyroxene, and the main accessory minerals are sphene, calcite, apatite, actinolite and epidote. In thin section, hornblende replaces pyroxene, which is usually observed as a relic in the core of hornblende crystals.
Clastic fine-grained metasedimentary rocks have been preserved as large klippes in the tonalite and monzogranite plutons. They extend mainly to the east of Deception Bay. The dominant composition is semi-pelite. It has a rusty patina and is, in places, interstratified with pelitic and amphibolitic bands less than one metre thick. A marked stratification is characteristic of semi-pelite and pelite. These lithologies include local horizons of conglomerate, marble and amphibolite. In the Wakeham Bay area, tonalite and monzogranite massifs contain small lenses (0.5 m thick) of limestone marble (Lucas and St-Onge, 1997).
In the tectonic window of the western Archean basement, metasedimentary rocks are smaller in size within the tonalite of unit ApPkvk4 and form only locally 1:100,000 mappable strips of significant length. In this area, the metasedimentary sequence mostly consists of pelite and semi-pelite, and includes scarce quartzite strata, indicating relatively deep water sedimentation. Granitoid veins from adjacent plutonic massifs or derived from local partial melting cut the sequence (Lucas and St-Onge, 1997). Charette and Beaudette (2018) recognized significant partial melting within metasedimentary klippes and divided unit ApPkvk3 into two subunits according to the degree of migmatitization: metatexite (ApPkvk3a) and diatexite (ApPkvk3b).
Kovik Complex 3a (ApPkvk3a): Migmatitized Paragneiss and Metatexite
Migmatized paragneiss of subunit ApPkvk3a has a grey beige to rusty patina and characteristic migmatitic banding marked by biotite schlierens and mobilisates in varying proportions (10-25% in general). Migmatitic banding produces a stromatic structure in outcrop. Mobilisates are millimetric to centimetric, white, parallel to foliation, medium-grained and locally folded. Their composition varies from granodioritic to granitic. They have biotite rims and include 2 to 10% pink or lilac garnet. Klippes of subunit ApPkvk3a have deformation that varies in intensity. Generally, paragneiss are crenulated and, in places, show a mylonitic texture. Mylonitization produces discontinuous boudinaged leucosomes and plagioclase or K-feldspar porphyroclasts. The subunit shows compositional variations marked, in outcrop, by a change in the content of quartz and mafic minerals (15-35%). Also, petrographic studies indicate a 0 to 30% change in the proportion of K-feldspar. Migmatitized paragneiss contains better preserved paragneiss horizons, decimetric diatexite horizons and, in places, usually boudinaged centimetric to metric gabbroic horizons. In terms of mineralogy, migmatitized paragneiss of subunit ApPkvk3a is composed of red biotite, garnet, sillimanite, muscovite and graphite. Garnet is locally rimmed with plagioclase.
Kovik Complex 3b (ApPkvk3b): Diatexite
Diatexite of subunit ApPkvk3b is heterogeneous and contains locally better preserved horizons of migmatitized paragneiss and paragneiss. The heterogeneity of this medium to coarse-grained whitish rock is produced by the distribution of mafic minerals in many schlierens and millimetric clusters, as well as by the presence of bands, zones or injections of white leucocatic material akin to ultrametamorphic granite. Diatexite is, in places, affected by folding or crenulation. Garnet (5 mm-1 cm) and biotite are concentrated in discontinuous clusters and in numerous schlierens.
Unit ApPkvk4 is the dominant plutonic rock unit of the Kovik Complex. Its foliated to gneissic texture and altered grey surface are characteristic. Within this tonalite, banding is marked by a compositional variation ranging from tonalite to quartz diorite and is accentuated by 5 to 20% millimetric to centimetric, whitish or pink leucosomes. These are granitic to tonalitic, medium to coarse-grained and sometimes folded. A small proportion (1-5%) of decimetric diorite horizons and enclaves are in sharp or transitional contact in tonalite. More heavily migmatitized tonalite horizons, with up to 40% leucosome bands, are present locally. Petrographic studies show that the distribution of K-feldspar is generally heterogeneous and that it is concentrated in diffuse bands in the rock. Mafic minerals are disseminated or as millimetric laminas that make up 7 to 25% of the mineralogy. Biotite is the main mafic mineral, followed by hornblende. Accessory minerals observed in thin section include apatite, zircon, monazite and, locally, sphene, epidote and magnetite.
Kovik Complex 4a (ApPkvk4a): Banded Heterogeneous Migmatitized Tonalite and Biotite Schlieren Tonalite
Subunit ApPkvk4a represents areas where ApPkvk4 tonalite is strongly migmatitized. When the contact is observed, the migmatitic facies is transitional with ApPkvk4 tonalite. Subunit ApPkvk4a is characterized by diffuse banding formed by millimetric to centimetric coarse-grained leucosomes conformable with foliation of the tonalite. Other leucosomes cut foliation. These are usually in sharp contact with the migmatitized tonalite and could represent migration zones. Subunit ApPkvk4a is medium to coarse-grained, contains 10-15% biotite schlierens or discontiuous laminas and 5-10% centimetric diorite enclaves. In some places, finer-grained, less-migmatitized tonalite klippes could represent paleosome rafts. Biotite is the principal mafic mineral.
Kovik Complex 4b (ApPkvk4b): Biotite Schlieren Heterogeneous Migmatite
Migmatite of subunit ApPkvk4b is derived from partial melting of ApPkvk4 tonalite and is recognized by its heterogeneous appearance. In some places, it looks like a heterogranular speckled intrusive rock with biotite clusters and in other places it has chaotic banding. A high proportion of whitish leucocratic ultrametamorphic granite is commonly observed in outcrop. This subunit contains centimetric bands or partially digested metric enclaves of dioritic composition that may resemble restites. Subunit ApPkvk4b contains a high proportion of millimetric to centimetric leucosomes (20-40%) that form ptygmatic folds. In banded areas, mobilisates are generally conformable with foliation, although in some places they cut it, which makes it anastomosed. At the edge of these mobilisates, mafic minerals are coarser-grained. Mafic minerals account for between 5 and 15% of the mineralogy of migmatite and their distribution is heterogeneous, even though they are more concentrated in schlierens. This subunit shows local chloritization and epidotization. In thin section, epidote is coarse-grained and accounts for 5 to 10% of mineralogy. Chlorite, on the other hand, forms small crystals associated with epidote.
Unit ApPkvk5 was described by St-Onge and Lucas (1992) and St-Onge et al. (1992) to distinguish areas where tonalite and granodiorite of the Kovik Complex contain few mafic rock enclaves, unlike unit ApPkvk4 which contains a lot. This informal unit also has distinct mineralogy that includes hornblende as the main mafic mineral, unlike unit ApPkvk4 where biotite is the main mafic mineral.
Unit ApPkvk6 is poorer in K-feldspar than units ApPkvk4 and ApPkvk5. Tonalite banding is marked by quartz diorite bands or strata. Like unit ApPkvk5, the main mafic mineral is hornblende, followed by biotite.
Kovik Complex 6a (ApPkvk6a): Quartz Diorite and Migmatitized Tonalite
Subunit ApPkvk6a consists of lithologies varying from quartz diorite to tonalite. They are homogeneous, well foliated and show small, recrystallized plagioclase phenocrystals. This subunit is commonly observed in transitional contact with ApPkvk4 tonalite. Within subunit ApPkvk6a, millimetric to centimetric discontinuous leucosome bands account for 5 to 10% of the lithology. In places, quartz diorite horizons have a gneissic or banded appearance where the proportion of leucocratic bands reaches 20 to 45% of the lithology. Local centimetric to decimetric gabbro horizons are also observed. These mafic horizons are boudinaged in places and generally account for less than 20% of the outcrop. In subunit ApPkvk6a, the proportion of quartz varies between 0 and 20% and plagioclase form small polycristalline clusters (recrystallized phenocrystals) of 0.5 to 1 cm. Mafic minerals account for 17 to 35% of lithology and are distributed homogeneously or in small clusters. The main mafic mineral is hornblende, followed by biotite. Both are locally replaced by chlorite. The main accessory minerals include chlorite, apatite, zircon, sphene and epidote.
Southwest of Foul Bay, two hornblende-biotite tonalitic to granodioritic plutons intruded into the older tonalite. This younger tonalite is fine-grained, foliated and even-grained. Both plutons contain numerous amphibolite and quartz diorite enclaves.
Granite plutons cut tonalite and are generally characterized by mineral assemblages of the granulite facies and by tectonic foliation of varying intensity. Some plutons show a massive texture as a whole, others in their cores alone. These granitic plutons typically contain centimetric to kilometric xenotliths of tonalite, quartz diorite, amphibolite and pyroxenite (St-Onge et al., 1992). Granite plutons, whether foliated or massive, are tabular and oriented E-W. They appear to have developed parallel to the E-Wtectonic foliation in tonalite. Biotite is the principal mafic mineral. Muscovite, hornblende and epidote are also observed in thin section and make up less than 1% of the rock.
Of the granitic rocks cutting ancient tonalite, monzogranite is most abundant. Pluton composition, however, can vary from granodiorite on the edge to syenogranite near the centre. Corollarily, grain size varies from fine to coarse. In addition, plutons are homogeneous, white to pinkish, foliated or massive and usually contain centimetric to kilometric enclaves of tonalite, quartz diorite, amphibolite and pyroxenite. However, petrographic studies indicate an heterogeneity in diffuse phases that is produced by the variation in K-feldspar content, which can range from 10% to 75%. Unit ApPkvk9 also includes a monzonite, sometimes gneissic, which contains centimetric K-feldspar phenocrystals. The rock is composed of 10-30% orthoclase, 25-40% plagioclase, 10-25% quartz and 5-20% mafic minerals, mainly biotite. In places, hornblende is also present, but in smaller proportions. Magnetite, muscovite and epidote are locally observed. In some places, apatite forms millimetric crystals that can account for up to 3% of the rock.
Syenogranite of unit ApPkvk10 contains mainly biotite as a mafic mineral. However, hornblende is locally observed. It may have a pegmatitic texture. Little information is available for this unit.
The Kovik Complex is located in the central portion of the Ungava Orogen and extends east to the New Quebec Orogen. The Kovik Complex is currently the only lithodemic unit in the Kovik Antiform domain. This lithotectonic domain is bordered to the south by the Sud Domain. An axial trough zone in the centre of the antiform is occupied by rocks of the Narsajuaq Arc, interpreted as an allochtonous calc-alkaline magmatic terrane overthrusting on the parautochtonous bedrock and on rocks of the Nord Domain (Lucas and St-Onge, 1992), separating the northern basement into two blocks (east and west antiform). In the west Kovik Antiform, the Sugluk Suture marks the boundary between the northern part of the domain and the Narsajuaq Arc.
Unit ApPkvk4 forms most of the Kovik Complex. Late tonalite, granodiorite and monzogranite of units ApPkvk7, ApPkvk8 and AKpPkvk9 intrude as small plutons into ApPkvk4 tonalite and granodiorite. ApPkvk9 monzogranite is commonly found as veins and intrusions in tonalite (ApPkvk4) and quartz diorite (ApPkvk6a) and can account for up to 40% of outcrops. The only syenogranite and pegmatite mapped pluton of unit ApPkvk10 is located in the eastern portion of the Kovik Antiform.
Two U-Pb datings on zircons in biotite ± hornblende tonalite (ApPkvk5) indicated protolith ages of 2882 +44/-28 Ma (Parrish, 1989) and 2737 ±2 Ma (Scott and St-Onge, 1995). A sheared tonalite klippe incorporated into the basal decollement between the Kovik Antiform and sedimentary rocks of the Povungnituk Group returned a U-Pb age on zircons of 2780 ±4 Ma (Parrish, 1989). A small composite complex of mafic intrusive rocks (ApPkvk2) intruding tonalite was mapped on the northeast side of Deception Bay and dated by the U-Pb zircon method at 2740 ±10 Ma (Parrish, personal communication, 1992). Four Rb-Sr ages of total rocks were obtained on paragneiss and orthogneiss of the Kovik Complex. These indicate crystallization ages between 2569 ±83 Ma and 2934 ±77 Ma (Doig, 1983).

The Kovik Complex is currently the only stratigraphic unit in the Kovik Antiform. This lithotectonic domain represents a window on the parautochtonous Archean basement through allochtonous rocks of the Ungava Orogen. This window is interpreted as the result of rock uplift during post-accretion crustal deformations D3 and D4. Tremblay (1991) and Lamothe (1994) indicate that the contact between the Archean basement which forms the antiform and allochtonous rocks of the orogen is generally marked by a decollement fault, except in very rare places where basal conglomerate metric lenses are preserved. Charette and Beaudette (2018) propose that contact between the Kovik Complex and the Narsajuaq Arc units correspond to an important tectonic structure, the Sugluk Suture.
Units ApPkvk2 to ApPkvk 6 consist of ancient plutons forming the Archean basement from which granitic veins were injected. Migmatites of subunits ApPkvk4a and ApPkvk4b are in transitional contact with ApPkvk4 tonalite and are interpreted as derived from melting of this tonalite. Migmatites occur as metric horizons in tonalite and form elongated kilometric masses that are oriented along the east-west structural grain. Different lithologies are found as enclaves in the migmatites, namely ApPkvk2a gabbro and diorite, ApPkvk3 migmatitized paragneiss and ApPkvk6a quartz diorite. ApPkvk6a quartz diorites are commonly observed in transitional contact with ApPkvk4 tonalite. Because of its intermediate composition, quartz diorite present in the western portion of the antiform was assigned to unit ApPkvk6, which had been defined by St-Onge et al. (1992), but appear to be comagmatic with ApPkvk4 tonalite. Metasedimentary klippes of unit ApPkvk3 are commonly heavily deformed and located near a deformation zone. ApPkvk1 amphibolite is observed near or in horizons within paragneiss.
In all older cartographic units, granitic veins show varying degrees of deformation; these veins appear to be related to the episode of voluminous granitic plutonism, contemporary to deformation (Lucas and St-Onge, 1995). This hypothesis is corroborated by the relative absence of granitic veins in granitic massifs and the overall variable deformation states of both veins and granitic plutons. Granitic rocks that cut ancient ApPkvk4 tonalite group rocks vary from granodiorite (ApPkvk8) to syenogranite (ApPkvk10), although monzogranite (ApPkvk9) is arguably the most abundant type. Based on pluton geometry and deformation, it appears that the oldest units are granodiorite and monzogranite and that the most recent pluton is syenogranite (ApPkvk10).

Yay Bob! If I weren't packing up my house I would make a date to meet with you and your family for those beautifully cooked potatoes this coming fall!!!
The Maine Potato Lady
Mrs G, I'd invite you now to sample last falls crop, but I'm right near their storage limits. Most of them have decent sized eyes and I'll probably replant them (or share them with others in the family to plant).
Bob, have you started digging up any early potatoes yet? Too early?
Not yet, but soon. Sometime in the next week or so, I'll probably start reaching in and seeing if there are any decent sized ones for dinner. The earliest I planted this spring was 4/12. But, I don't see any early varieties in that batch (oops- next year I'll make sure some earlier ones go in first). I see that I planted some King Harry on 4/23 and Anuschka on 4/29.
It's been almost 70 days for King Harry and the plants have grown very vigorously, the strongest of all I'm growing this year. I'm not sure if it is as fast as Papa Chacho though (Peruvian landrace potato, which is a durable strong grower, but not all that tasty). King Harry is supposed to have some wild potato genes as well, which are responsible for the hairy leaves (and the name). It is supposed to be 70-90 days, so I'll give it a try soon.
Anuschka is coming up on 60 days and I found this interesting paper. It seems to be saying that Anuschka generates more medium sized potatoes early, without a ton of tiny ones.
The other interesting question is "how much do I decrease my yield by though early digging? According to the data in the above report, I could get 18 at 70 or 34 at 125 (Tons per HA…I know the wrong metric for my yard). That includes small and large, as I'd find a way to use all sizes:
Small: stir-fry or seed
Medium: baked/grilled
Large: sliced and baked in butter or shredded into potato pancakes
That means the productivity on a per day basis, 0.26 for the first 70 days, then 0.29 for the next 55 days (day 70-> 125). At first, I was surprised that the growth isn't far higher during the 2nd half (because of all the extra leaves). But, I'm guessing that the early growth is that strong because it is fueled by the seed potato. So, I don't feel too bad swiping a row or two a bit early, as I can then replant in July and get another harvest by the frost.
Probably more than you wanted to read- look what an innocent question got you
Sorry, I just caught your response now. We planted both Red Pontiac and Kennebec about six weeks ago. Over the next week, we had about 7in of rain, before the seed taters could sprout. After about three weeks, there were still no sprouts. So, my wife dug some up and they were either rotted or just sitting there. All the rain ruined them.
We replanted three rows of the same varieties about two weeks ago, and about 25 hills or so have sprouted so far. She planted a couple more rows last week, I think, and they haven't come up just yet, but should sometimes this week. We had 4in of rain last Sunday, and another 3in Friday, so hope those don't suffer the same sad fate as the first batch.
Our first year here, we tried Irish Cobbler and they gave us heaps of medium sized white taters. We ate on those until well the next spring.
Here's a pic of one of 6 main potato beds (a few others spread around, many of which are volunteers). King Harry is on the right and doesn't look as tall in the photo as it does in person. I think it also shot up very quickly, so it had an even bigger lead earlier in the season.
Here's a closer pic of King Harry's leaves. Even though it is reputed to, I don't think the hair had much impact on insect resistance. In fact, there look to be plenty of holes in the leaves. When taking the pic, I saw a few black flea beetles. I've seen a few in the past, but don't remember that many before. Maybe I should hit them with some Spinosad.
Maybe I need a better pic- I can't see the hairs in it. It's actually hard to see in person as well, but you can feel them when running your finger over a leaf.
Note- Peanut is a fingerling potato, not actual peanuts (which I've grown as well).
Note #2- I need to do some edging around my beds but am pretty lazy about it until the grass starts tickling by chin. OK, not quite that bad…
My very initial take is:
King Harry- I'm not a fan- I dug up 2 plants and neither produced all that much. 3 medium small potatoes between them. When baked, it didn't have any particular flavor and was fairly dense/dry. It reminded me a bit of Papa Chacho- strong grower, bad eater.
Anuschka- I liked this a lot. I only dug up one plant, as it had 3 medium/small potatoes and one large one (big enough that I cut it in half to bake). Once baked (in foil on the grill), it was moist, with good flavor. On an aesthetic level, I find the rich yellow more appealing that the white-fleshed King Harry, but flavor and productivity are the bigger factors.
I'm looking forward to comparing Anuschka to Yellow Haze, last year's winner. Now I feel bad about buying twice as much King Harry seed (5 lbs vs 2.5 lbs).
Another potato pic:
King Harry- I've had this several more times and continue to be un-impressed. It was decent when I sliced it and baked it in butter (butter fixes everything ), but then I tried another potato which I cooked with it(Stop & Shop organic golden…) which was much better.
Anuschka-Still very good.
Yellow Haze- Last year's favorite. I had it tonight with Anuschka and they were pretty similar. YH may have a bit of an edge, but it is very close. I'll need to sample more.
Harvest Moon- This was the first variety I've had to die this year. I'm not sure if they just got too old (only 94 days) or had a disease problem. The plants didn't grow all that big. I got about 6lbs from a row which planted from 12 potatoes (about 2/3 of my 2.5lb bag, so maybe 1.7 lbs). That isn't a great yield, so I'm guessing that something killed the plants pre-maturely. The potatoes themselves were pretty good, with dark yellow flesh. The taste is on the mild side, so while they are as moist as the other yellows, I put them a notch below (in addition to their early demise).
Pinto Gold- I accidentally got one of these when digging the Harvest Moon. It is pretty with the red/yellow splotches, but I forgot to cook with the others (on the grill), so no taste report yet…
Papa Cacho- I'm not growing this one again, but my father is. My mom reported really liking this yesterday, which surprised the heck out of me. At first, I thought that they were confusing it with a French Fingerling (which is really good), but they sent me a pic and it's pretty conclusive. I think what happened is that my father cooked it extensively, first boiling it, then roasting it just long enough to brown it. Maybe PC is a potato which absorbs enough water when being boiled to be tasty…
Here's a pic of what my dad has dug in the last few days (lot's left to go):
The Papa Cacho is on the middle-left, just above some Pinto Gold.
Looks like a table of jewels! Fabulous Bob!
Red Pontiac potatoes for today's dinner. They are grown under the straw. I am not a big fan of digging in the dirt with my bare hands, but this method works, I was able to dig out the potatoes without disturbing the main plant. They were delicious boiled with ranch sauce and salsa.
So what do you think of them?
Yesterday, I noticed that most of my early plantings of potatoes have died back, so I started digging.
I dug up 15 pounds total and have a couple more rows to go, including Yellow Fin, more Peanut and Yellow Haze.
Of the 15 pounds, 11 was Pinto Gold (14 plants), with the rest from Yellow Haze (7-8 plants). So, Pinto Gold was a bit more productive, though this is hardly a scientific test (middle row, vs edge row, etc). Pinto Gold seems to be half-way between a normal potato and a fingerling. I love it's distinctive coloring.
I haven't had a chance to sample much of the new ones, but I did use up a lot of the tiny fingerlings I dug earlier in the summer. Some of these are Peanut, and some are various fingerlings from last year. Regrettably, I haven't noticed any peanut-flavor from them.
I did include one Pinto Gold (damaged with the shovel) which I thought was tastier than average, but that could just be because it was larger and needed to get cut up more. The cut edges get crispier when cooked in coconut oil, so it isn't really a good test. I'll really get a chance to compare next time I bake or steam them.
This turned out to be too much- I ate these for dinner and breakfast and still have more left.
As usual they look great Bob. Will dig mine tomorrow!
That's about where I'm at too. I'v been to busy trying to eat up the more perishable garden foods and haven't had much time for potatoes. I did fry some of the Peanuts in butter. And of course that tasted good. I also had some Adirondack Blue roasted with sausage, peppers, onions. Also good, but there was too much going on in that dish to really speak to the flavor of the potatoes alone. Regardless of all that, though, I really enjoy growing potatoes in grow bags. The harvest at the end of the season is like being a kid and dumping out a stocking on christmas morning.
BobI have my first grow bag filled with La Ratte this year . The green vines are starting to die . Will take picks.
Peanut one of my favorite fingerlings
I've been pulling Red Thumb one vine at a time for eating thru the summer. It's OK and early for a fingerling, I'm getting about 1# per vine
But I think I'll go back to peanut or Russian banana
Will dig the rest this week
My favorite fingerlings so far is the French fingerling. I think I've had some Peanut and they didn't stand out to me. But, I could be thinking of some random leftover 2nd year fingerlings which could have been mixed in (like Russina Bananna, Yellow Rose, or Laratte), so I'll keep the most recent batch aside to make sure that it is peanut that I'm trying.
I dug 2 small rows (each 4' long, 1' spacing), one of Peanut and the other of Yellow Haze.
The Peanut produced less than half as much, 31oz, unless you count the 4oz of the random purple potato which grew into it's row. Taking the same space, Yellow Haze grew 64 oz (exactly 1lb per sq ft). It was a lot less work to dig 4lbs of YH, than it was to dig 2lbs of Peanut, as the tiny peanuts are hard to track down.
When putting down more cardboard to block weeds, I noticed one plant which isn't unwelcome. I get mad at animals, but one must have planted this potato for me. It looks like it grew ll it's potatoes between the cardboard and the ground. Nice- no digging on this one!
I finished digging my Red Thumb - got 15 # overall, about 1# per vine on average, but the potatoes were larger on the more mature vines
I can't say what the yield was, didn't weigh them before planting. The seeds were last year's potatoes sprouting in the fridge
I grew German Butterball this year and they are the best potatoes I have ever eaten!
I'm growing Japanese sweet potatoes. I'll give it another month or so before I dig them up; can't wait!!! Those pictures look awesome!!!
