Blocked Tear Ducts: Dye Disappearance Test
Current as of: May 4, 2017
Find More Information on the Government of BC Website
A fluorescein dye disappearance test is used in children and adults to find out whether tears are draining normally from the eyes into the nose.
Normally, tears sweep the dye out of the eye and into the tear ducts. If dye stays in the eye, the tear duct may be blocked.
Both eyes are usually tested and compared during this test, which is done after other examinations have not clearly shown that the duct is blocked.
A baby may fuss and cry during this test. Parents are often asked to hold and soothe their child while he or she is being tested.

NWSB Insider and Seattle Mariners' blogger Jeff Budke has had it with the Mariners' front office. From the top management to Eric Wedge, Jeff voices his opinion on how lowly the organization has been the past decade. Seeing an excess of talent shipped away only for drearier results, Seattle's organization must change if it is to succeed at any point in the future. The time for Eric Wedge may be running out.
Mariners' organization lacks organization and plans

SQL Server Profiler can reveal only what's executing on SQL Server. But linked-server queries also execute on the Oracle server, so to fully analyze an Oracle linked-server query, you must use Oracle's SQL Trace facility. You can enable SQL Trace at either the session level or the instance level. You enable SQL Trace for the instance by adding the following lines to the Oracle parameter file, init.ora:
timed_statistics = true sql_trace = true
Instance-level tracing slows the server but ensures that you won't miss anything. You can identify Oracle trace files, which reside in the UDUMP folder specified in the init.ora file, by their .trc extension.
When you issue a linked-server query, the OLE DB provider causes the server to execute an extra query, which obtains metadata from the Oracle data dictionary. SQL Server needs the Oracle metadata to complete the query resolution on the SQL Server side. For example, let's analyze the following query
SELECT * FROM oradb..SCOTT.BIGTAB WHERE orderid = 10248
where BIGTAB is an unindexed multimillion-row table. Two queries were executed, as Figure A's excerpt from the trace file shows.
You can use the Oracle utility TKPROF to reformat a trace file into a more readable format. However, finding the relevant data in the trace file is easy. In the trace file excerpt, look for tim, which represents the elapsed time, measured in hundredths of a second. Note that although only one query was submitted from the Query Analyzer, two queries were executed on the Oracle server. Although the first query's execution plan shows that the server executed a full table scan, this fact is misleading. The query doesn't have a FETCH statement and doesn't return data. Subtracting the first query's starting tim value from the second query's starting tim value, you can see that the elapsed time for the first query is only 0.01 second. A true table scan against a table this size would take much longer.
Although Profiler offers an Oracle trace template, it can only provide limited details such as when a query starts and finishes. Use Oracle's trace facility if you need to analyze Oracle linked-server query performance problems.

Koscheck Turns Up the Mental Warfare Ahead of UFC 124; Calls GSP a Boring, Mentally Weak Quitter With No Chin
("…and your breath smells like poutine and maple syrup.")
Sometimes it just seems like Josh Koscheck throws insults like darts at a dartboard hoping that one will hit its mark.
In a recent interview with Fighters Only, the brash American Kickboxing Academy product lobbed another salvo at upcoming UFC 124 opponent, UFC welterweight champ Georges St-Pierre.
When asked by FightersOnly.com editor John Joe O'Regan about whether or not GSP is guilty of playing it safe like his much-maligned AKA teammate Jon Fitch has been criticized of doing for the majority of his fights, Koscheck said that he is and that the reason why is the same as what people have been pointing as being Brock Lesnar most glaring weakness: he doesn't like getting hit.
"If you look at when little Matt Serra was on top of him pounding him, he tapped out. So I believe that Georges has quit in him and you just have to take him to that point," Koscheck explained. "Nobody has been able to do it since those two but I plan on doing it on December 11th.I believe he hasn't been hit since Matt Serra. That was a good crack. His chin hasn't been tested and I think Georges has quit in him. If you look at the first Matt Hughes fight where he arm barred him, he was tapping before it was even tight."Read More DIGG THIS

WikipediaRead full entry
Pearsonothuria is a genus of sea cucumbers in the family Holothuriidae. Pearsonothuria graeffei is the only species in the genus.[1] Graeffe's sea cucumber is found in the tropical Indo-Pacific Ocean and the type locality is Viti Island, Fiji.[2]
Pearsonothuria graeffei is a roughly cylindrical, thin-walled sea cucumber that grows to about 30 centimetres (12 in) in length.[3] Its mouth, at one end, is surrounded by a ring of up to 24 leaf-like, paddle-shaped tentacles with black stalks which are black on the upper side and white beneath. The anus is at the other end of the body and there are several rows of tube feet along the underside. The colour of the adults is pale brown and white, with black speckles and small thorn-like protuberances.
By contrast, the juveniles are brightly coloured, being white and blue or black, with a few large, yellow, thorn-like projections. This colouration makes them closely resemble the sea slug, Phyllidia varicosa, the bright colours of which warn predators of its toxicity. The appearance of the juvenile sea cucumbers begins to change when they grow larger than the slug and the mimicry is no longer effective.[4]
A live juvenile individual of Pearsonothuria graeffei, in situ off Madagascar.
Adult specimen in the Maldives.
Pearsonothuria graeffei is found in tropical parts of the Indo-Pacific Ocean. The range extends from the east coast of Africa to the Philippines and Indonesia. It is found on the seabed and on coral reefs at depths down to about 25 metres (82 ft).[2][3]
Pearsonothuria graeffei is a scavenger and roams around on the seabed sifting through the sediment with its feeding tentacles. Any organic matter it finds is passed to its mouth by the tentacles.[5] Its daily activities start within a few minutes of dawn and continue until half an hour after sunset after which time it adopts an inactive stance with its rear end raised and its tentacles retracted into its mouth. It then remains immobile during the night.[6]
When threatened or disturbed, many sea cucumbers eject cuvierian tubules, thin white sticky strands of viscera, from their cloacas. Pearsonothuria graeffei seems reluctant to do this except under conditions of extreme stress. The threads of this species contain glycosides that are toxic to the aggressor. The effect of these neuro-toxins is to prevent nerve impulses being transmitted, an effect similar to that produced by cocaine. The chemicals, echinoside A and ds-echinoside A, are being investigated for their possible use by humans as painkillers or anti-tumour drugs.[4] Experiments in vitro show that they have marked anti-cancer activity in Hep G2 cells and that, when given to mice with H22 hepatocellular carcinoma tumours (liver cancer), the weight of the tumours was reduced by about 50%.[7]

Changing the top case will also give you a new trackpad.
Orient the computer so that the side with the line of screws on it is away from you.
Use your thumbs to push both battery release tabs away so that the edge of the battery lifts up.
Lift the battery out of the computer.
Which screw driver I have to use here?
Phillips #00 Screwdriver: All necessary tools are available to buy at the top of this page if they are needed.
Sam Love -
Remove the three identical Phillips screws from the memory door.
Lift the memory door up enough so that you can get a grip on it, and slide it toward you, pulling it away from the casing.
Release the tabs on each side of the RAM chip at the same time. These tabs lock the chip in place and releasing them will cause the chip to "pop" up.
Pull the chip directly out from its connectors. If there is a second RAM chip installed, pop it out in the same manner.
1) With your fingernails, grasp the locking bar on either side slide it a small amount (about 1/16" or 2 mm) towards the battery.
2) After disengaging the locking bar, slide the cable out of the connector.
Loosen the trackpad connector by pulling the locking bar toward the battery housing, using the tips of your fingers.
Slide the trackpad cable out of the loosened connector.
Note: When reassembling the case, the trackpad cable can get stuck below the slot to the motherboard. It's possible to nudge it out slowly by gently prodding it on either side with a small screwdriver. You don't need to use much force to do this. Eventually it will just pop back out and you can reconnect as per the instructions above. Also, note that the locking bar comes loose so if you see a little piece of plastic lying around when reassembling, that's what it is. :)
Remove the following 10 screws from the bottom case:
Three 1.7 mm Phillips from the front edge of the battery compartment.
One 3.9 mm T8 Torx to the right of the memory card.
One 6.9 mm T8 Torx at the left edge of the memory compartment.
Three 12.4 mm fully threaded Phillips from the center of the row of screws along the back edge of the case.
Two 15.1 mm 2.5 mm threaded Phillips, one from either end of the row of screws along the back edge of the case.
Turn the computer over and rotate it so that the DVI port faces you.
Remove the four identical Phillips screws spread along this edge of the case.
Turn the computer 180 degrees so that the power receptacle faces you, and remove the four Phillips screws (identical to those in the last step).
Open the computer and turn it so that the screen faces you.
Pull the upper case off, lifting from the back, and working around the edges.
Use a spudger to loosen the casing if it sticks.
Once the casing is entirely free, lift it off of the computer.
BE VERY CAREFUL when replacing the keyboard to thread the keyboard ribbon cable through the slot. The steps didn't appear to make this warning and when I replaced all screws, found that it was jammed and would not come through to connect with the connector. I had to undo a lot of steps to go back and rethread it properly.

Wielding designs for the total $9.2 million plan last week -- including a synthetic turf athletic field, pitcher's mound, dugouts, additional lighting and park overhaul plan and $1.5 million comfort station -- the congregation at Saint Joseph's Patron of Universal Church called on Councilman Antonio Reynoso for his support.
After marching with hundreds of EBC members from the church at 185 Suydam St. to the park on Sunday to show his support for the plan in the 34th District, Reynoso announced to the crowd that he would do his best to help fund the $1.5 million bathroom building in the park.
"At this moment, the City Council doesn't know how much money they're going to be receiving for discretionary funding," Reynoso said. "But I am committed to making sure we get a comfort station in here when the resources make themselves available."
Although Reynoso reminded the crowd that he still awaits his final budget from the City Council and support from the city, he added there is universal support to create parks throughout the city.
"The Parks Department, the Borough President's office and my office are working together to find a way to make that happen as a group," he said. "Hopefully in a couple of years we can get something done."
Although Father Claudio Holzer, pastor of St. Joseph's Patron of Universal Church, is happy the councilman assured his support for the bathrooms in the park, he added that he hopes the city will consider the EBC's proposal for AstroTurf at Green Central Knoll Park, which is near his church.
"Most of the time you cannot use it because it is either too wet, too slippery and everything else," Holzer said.
Jesus Navarrete, a parishioner of Saint Joseph's and EBC member, has also been advocating for enhancements at several parks in the Bushwick community.
"They're abandoned," Navarrete said. "We are just a group a parents who are worried about their kids and their health, and we don't want them in the streets hanging around."
Navarrete and the EBC rallied for support from Councilman Rafael Espinal last month at Heckscher Park, located on Grove Street between Central and Wilson avenues.
"We need nice space for our kids to play," he said.
Brooklyn Parks commissioner Kevin Jeffrey explained that there is very little maintenance involved with synthetic turf as it has a 12-month mobility.
"There's a possibility that we could do a combination of synthetic turf – AstroTurf – and natural grass," Jeffrey said after the rally on Sunday. "Synthetic turf is really good if you have an activity like soccer that tends to put a lot of wear and tear on parts of the field, and there may actually be room on this site to do both."
Jeffrey said the safety of the park would also be a key focus.
He added that while there are nearly 25 park patrol officers in the borough -- with an expected 30 in the near future -- the new facility would need to be staffed with a maintenance person to provide an extra level of security.
"Those officers are certainly around and able to respond if there should be an issue," he assured.
Although Borough President Eric Adams has yet to promise any funding for the park restoration program, he did say that he does plan to work with community-based organizations to focus on park repairs.
"In the urban environment, there are often too few spaces for children and adults to congregate, as well as to share fun recreational experiences," Adams said. "We look forward to continuing to collaborate with organizations to build and refurbish open spaces throughout Brooklyn."

Mississippi State scored two runs in the ninth inning in the Southeastern Conference Tournament to down South Carolina, 5-3, which next faces top-ranked Vanderbilt in an elimination game.
HOOVER, Ala. — Mississippi State was the team that played 17 innings the night before, but the Bulldogs had a stronger finishing kick than 17th-ranked South Carolina on Wednesday night.
Mississippi State scored twice in the ninth inning for a 5-3 victory in the second round of the Southeastern Conference Tournament at Hoover Metropolitan Stadium.
The Gamecocks (39-17) fell into the losers' bracket and must play top-seeded and nationally top-ranked Vanderbilt at approximately 1:30 on Thursday afternoon.
"It was a disappointing performance by us," USC coach Chad Holbrook said. "We've got to do more offensively or it's going to be a short postseason."
The Bulldogs got a leadoff single from Adam Frazier in the ninth. As Frazier broke for second, Alex Detz hit a ball up the middle. Shortstop Joey Pankake fielded the ball as he crossed second and was unable to reach back to get a forceout.
"I tried to turn the double play, but I couldn't reach the bag," Pankake said.
After Hunter Renfroe popped up a bunt attempt, Brett Pirtle drew a four-pitch walk from USC reliever Adam Westmoreland (7-2).
Wes Rea singled to right against USC closer Tyler Webb to break a 3-3 tie. After the Bulldogs ran into the inning's second out on a missed squeeze bunt, Demarcus Henderson singled to left to give Mississippi State (42-16) a two-run cushion.
After Norris walked to load the bases again, Derrick Armstrong hit a grounder toward third. Henderson collided with USC's Chase Vergason and was called out on offensive interference to end the inning.
Bulldogs reliever Myles Gentry (4-1) pitched the final 5 2/3 innings.
The Bulldogs jumped on Nolan Belcher for two runs in the first inning. Frazier led off with a single, went to second on a wild pitch, took third on a Renfroe single and scored on Rea's single past a diving LB Dantzler at first base. Henderson dropped a single in front of Graham Saiko in left field to drive in Renfroe.
Mississippi State made it 3-0 in the third. Pirtle led off with a double, went to third on a sacrifice and scored on Henderson's fly ball to center.
The Bulldogs loaded the bases in the fourth but USC escaped when Saiko was ruled to have caught a sinking liner to left for the third out. TV replays appeared to show the ball was short-hopped.
After that break, the Gamecocks responded to tie the score. Pankake had a one-out walk and LB Dantzler, after his foul pop just eluded a diving Henderson in right, singled. Grayson Greiner walked to load the bases and Max Schrock walked to drive in Pankake. Brison Celek knocked Bulldogs starter Luis Pollorena out of the game with a two-run single back through the box.
The Gamecocks couldn't take advantage of a Mississippi State error in the sixth. After Vergason's one-out walk, Pankake hit a routine grounder to shortstop. Frazier threw wildly to second, putting runners on the corners. Gentry struck out Dantzler and Greiner to end the inning.
"Give Gentry credit," Holbrook said. "He stuffed us. He stuffed us the whole game."
Mississippi State faces Texas A&M at approximately 8:30 tonight.
Kevin Ziomek (10-2, 1.99) has been announced as the Commodores' pitcher against USC. He allowed eight hits and a run over eight innings as the Commodores beat USC, 3-2, in Columbia on May 3. Jordan Montgomery will start for the Gamecocks.
Mississippi State was coming off a 17-inning 2-1 victory over Missouri Tuesday night to reach the double-elimination portion of the tournament.
It was the fourth straight meeting between the teams this season. The Gamecocks closed the regular season at Starkville last weekend, losing two of three.
Earlier Wednesday, Arkansas beat Mississippi, 2-1 in 10 innings and LSU beat Alabama, 3-0. Mississippi and Alabama play in an elimination game at 10:30 Thursday morning. Arkansas and LSU play later at 5:30.

Thursday night was an exhibition of local talent at the Boulder Theater, and Yours Truly does what he can to get the word out about local talent. Four Denver area bands heated up the stage, each bringing a unique and innovative flavor that I find to be too often lacking in the Big Name touring company bands. True to the Indie Rock tradition, you'll probably never hear any of these guys or girls on mainstream radio, but their ever-growing fanbases reminds us that media attention is not a prerequisite to stardom. Small-scale fame is still fame after all, even if it doesn't come with millions of dollars and a Reality TV contract. Maybe its for the best, I hate Reality TV.
The Wheel (aka Nathaniel Rateliff, also of Denver-based band Born in the Flood) got the ball rolling, filling the theater wall to wall with nothing but his powerful voice and an acoustic guitar. Unfortunately, I was stuck in the will-call line, and missed all but the last two songs, sorry Nathaniel. My impressions were good, however brief they might have been, and the audience definitely approved.
Paper Bird, who brought with them possibly the most eclectic collection of instruments and performance props that I've seen at a show in recent memory, was a huge fan favorite, and for good reason. The band regularly consists of acoustic guitar, banjo, trombone, and three vocalists, synergized to create a truly one-of-a-kind sound that is at once folksy, jazzy, rockin' and theatrical. Added to this particular night's performance were a violin and an upright bass, providing a touch of eerie atmospherics that lifted Paper Bird to a whole new level of sonic complexity and richness.
I first read about Paper Bird in the local newspaper, and was intrigued by what I read. But for me, intrigue comes coupled with the nagging fear that I might be disappointed when events don't live up to my hopes and expectations. Innovations in the world of music are always born into thin air, poised to either fall to the ground with a sickening splat or to stay afloat and possibly fly higher. As it turned out, I needn't have worried. Paper Bird may not yet have reached the peaks of flight, but they're definitely not a stain on the pavement. Although they weren't headlining the event, Paper Bird turned out to be the talk of the town Thursday night. When they left the stage, they managed to keep the spotlight, and as I walked about the theater, whispers and exclamations about the band abounded long after they were gone.
What everyone seemed to recognize was that they were witnessing something remarkabley innovative and altogether different in Paper Bird. Here you have a band which is in no way confined by the typical notions of what a band should be, from their choice of instruments and the puppet show that accompanied one of their songs, right down to the handmade t-shirts for sale out in the lobby. Three beautiful voices acting as one, a trombone substituted for lead guitar, and the occasional insertion of a rhythm section that consists of some wooden-spoon-on-metal-mixing-bowl action - you have to see it to believe it.
Paper Bird brings an air of down to earth personality to the stage with them, and I imagine that the group's practice sessions are similar to their live shows: just a bunch of individuals coming together not to blow anyone's mind, but with the singular goal of doing something that they love. The intra-band camaraderie and fun loving attitude personified by the group spills out and is absorbed by the crowd, and there is the distinct sense that Paper Bird could just as well be playing in your own living room, and not on stage to hundreds of people. These fledglings birds may still be testing their new wings, but already they show a potential that goes above and beyond their small time roots.
Bela Karoli, whose album "Furnished Rooms" was named best local album of 2007 by John Wenzel in the Denver Post, followed Paper Bird. Driven largely by a string section composed of standup bass, violin, and cello, Bela Karoli brings together a mix of night club style jazz, progressive indie rock, quasi-psychedelic harmonies, and hypnotic electro-beats, all of which reminds me vaguely of bigger names like Beth Orton or Radiohead. That comparison is not entirely fair, however, since Bela Karoli's sound is undoubtedly their own, both mechanical and organic, but undeniably alive and kicking (like a cyborg!) - you have to see it to believe it. After hearing them perform, its not hard to imagine why they're favorites of the local music scene.
Those who came for The Wheel, Paper Bird or Bela Karoli stayed, and were joined by legions more for Gregory Alan Isakov's performance. The first thing that came to my mind while I listened to this singer-songwriter and his powerfully emotive voice was that about half of Gregory Alan Isakov's songs might make someone like Damien Rice recheck his catalogue to make sure he didn't write them first, while the other half would surely make Damien Rice extremely envious that he hadn't written them. Seriously, you'd have to see it to believe it. In the mood for another comparison? How's this: Gregory Alan Isakov could have easily filled the roll played by Glen Hansard in the movie Once, had it been filmed in Colorado and not in Dublin, Ireland. Sometimes he's alone, sometimes he's backed by strings and drums, but he's always sincere, always dramatic, and always good. Drawing these sorts of comparisons puts Gregory Alan Isakov among good company, both lyrically and musically, and even if there isn't anything terribly groundbreaking about Isakov's work, he does what he does tremendously well, and his rapport with his band, the Freight, made their performance as soulful as it was exciting.
All of the (local) bands I've mentioned are touring nationally, and all have websites on MySpace. Look them up, have a listen for yourself, and see them if they come through your town. Would I want to see them all again? Only about as much as I'd want to watch any given episode of the Simpsons again (that means yes). Unless its the episode where Marge gets a boob job, I hate that episode, but of course, you'd have to see it to believe it.

Three people were stabbed in Fitchburg and one in Worcester in two separate incidents early Sunday morning, police said.
The Fitchburg and Worcester stabbings were not related, and all four victims were expected to survive, police said.
Fitchburg police Lt. Kevin O'Brien said officers summoned to a party at 62 Bond St. early this morning found three victims suffering from knife wounds.
The three victims were taken to Leominster hospital by ambulance, and two were sent on to UMass Memorial Medical Center in Worcester for further treatment.
The conditions of the victims weren't immediately available, Lt. O'Brien said. The stabbings were reported just before 4:30 a.m. Sunday.
No arrests had been made as of late Sunday morning.
Fitchburg detectives are still trying to piece together what happened at the party, but they have a suspect in mind, Lt. O'Brien said.
In east Worcester, an 18-year-old man was stabbed in the shoulder and hip at about 12:30 a.m. Sunday near 125 Northeast Cutoff, police said.
The victim was taken to UMass Memorial Medical Center and is expected to survive his injuries, police said.

Blood Blister on Tongue
I was eating potato chips a few days ago and must have scraped my tongue or something and then a blood blister quickly developed (within seconds). I popped it with a sterilized pin because it was so big and uncomfortable and now I have a sore that looks like an ulcer where the loose skin remained after popping it. It hurts so bad to chew, swallow, talk, anything that causes my tongue to scrape my teeth on the side. This has happened before but it seems it is in such a bad spot that will never heal. Is there anything I can do to help it heal fast?
Try not to irritate/ aggravate it any more. You might apply any over the counter oral ointment/moisturizer/lubricant like orabase as directed.

State Sen. George Maziarz, R-C-Newfane, drew a line in the sand Wednesday with the Public Service Commission regarding its proposals to raise statewide energy rates by nearly $1 billion. He said this increase would plunder hydropower revenue from Western New York in its ongoing proceeding to evaluate contingency plans in the event of the closure of the Indian Point Energy Center in Buchanan, N.Y.
Maziarz filed formal comments with the PSC.
The PSC began a process last November to examine contingency plans for replacing the 2,000 megawatts of generation produced at Indian Point, should the facility close. Consolidated Edison and the New York Power Authority were asked to submit a document to the commission, which was delivered on Feb. 1, which specified certain projects and costs necessary to accomplish this goal. The transmission projects identified would cost a minimum of $811 million, costs that are proposed by NYPA and Con Ed to be recovered entirely by taxpayers.
In a departure from past precedent, the money would be collected from ratepayers in every region of the state, not merely those in New York City and other parts of downstate New York who are receiving the benefits.
"Fixing our failing transmission infrastructure is a good thing, but upstate ratepayers who would receive zero benefit from the closure cannot be asked to foot any part of the bill," said Maziarz, chairman of the Senate energy and telecommunications committee. "Attempting to make ratepayers in economically distressed areas of upstate New York pay for upgrades that benefit Manhattan is terrible public policy. It's Robin Hood, but in reverse."
In addition to new proposals for downstate transmission partially paid for by upstate ratepayers, the joint proposal from Consolidated Edison and NYPA also contemplates power purchase agreements being offered to private generators in the Hudson Valley and greater capital region in order to compensate for the possible loss of Indian Point. These PPAs would be financed by NYPA, and the authority's investment recovered through additional charges to ratepayers.
"Three-hundred-sixty-five days a year, and 24 hours a day, profit-infused water tumbles over Niagara Falls and becomes some of the most inexpensive electricity in the United States," Maziarz said. "Niagara is where NYPA makes its money, and Western New York money simply cannot be used to subsidize downstate generators. If NYPA wants to help generators with its Niagara profits, than it should look no further than Somerset and Dunkirk. Investments in repowering these plants, along with upstate transmission upgrades, are a smart investment that will create jobs while using our region's resources where they belong."

Remy, great article! I will definitely be making more use of this part of the HTML5 spec.
I've been following Gears since its inception, but never used it because due to its lack of full support across platforms and browsers.
When I found out a certain iPhone OS update brought offline storage to Mobile Safari (through HTML5) and that Google was making use of it in their mobile web apps (such as Gmail), it seemed like the nail in the coffin.
When this really starts to grow (with wider browser support and consumer awareness), you can forget AIR.

After husband Casey Jennings had the chance to channel his favorite character for son Sundance's name, Kerri Walsh Jennings had dibs on their daughter's moniker.
But when the couple's baby girl arrived Saturday, the beach volleyball star skipped feature films and made a beeline for her favorite book for a bit of inspiration, settling on Scout Margery for their little girl.
"Scout is my favorite character in all of literature — Scout Finch from To Kill a Mockingbird. She's brilliant. She loves her family and I just love her little spirit," Walsh Jennings said while introducing her daughter on Today Tuesday.
"And Margery is after my mother, who is the most beautiful human being I ever met."
But in addition to sporting the same name, Walsh Jennings' daughter may have also scored some of her namesake's feisty personality. The athlete was induced three days prior to her due date and after a slow start, it wasn't long before baby girl was ready for her big debut.
"It was lightning fast," says the newly minted mom-of-three, adding that the doctor didn't make it in time for the delivery.
"I knew what was happening, and I think [the nurses] are just so used to it taking a longer time," says pro volleyball player Jennings. "If [Kerri]'s hurting, it's go time and they started to get a little more heat on it and … the nurses brought the baby into the world."
With three gold medals under her belt — and now three children to match — Walsh Jennings, 34, is ready to get back in the game and win big at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
"I'm not done dancing yet. As far as I'm concerned, I'm just beginning," she says of her plans to go for a fourth win. "Between now and then there's a lot of tournaments to play in. I know what I'm gunning for, but Rio gold is the ultimate."

Buckhead Plating Inc 2 ReviewsFantastic Job
I was redoing my front door and wanted a new doorknocker. I couldn't find one I liked better than the one I already had, but it was brass, not satin nickel. I took the old door knocker to Buckhead Plating and they did a fantastic job of turning the old one into what looks like a brand new Satin Nickel Doorknocker. Fantastic Job at a fair price. Much less than the cost of a new one.
Calhoun Design & Metal Works 2 ReviewsLove our new steel doors!
Charles and his team designed, manufactured, and installed three sets of steel french doors as well as a front door. The design and craftsmanship were outstanding. We are so pleased with the final product. Given the size/scale of the doors, the installation was complex. But his team did a thorough job with the install. He has sent his team out for a couple of needed adjustments and has followed up with us proactively to ensure that everything is operating properly. Charles even took the time to help me with the trim work by connecting us to contractors. This is a top notch firm. I will use them again.

A & R Iron Works 1 ReviewsVery professional and skilled Iron Fabrication
I hired A&R to design, make and install a custom iron banister and hand railing for my townhouse in Sandy Springs. I had very specific ideas and showed them photos from magazines which they matched perfectly. They found the finials and decorative scrollwork I wanted and even matched it with black-bronze paint. The pieces were installed into a narrow faux finished stairwell without one scratch on the walls! Very very professional and they went the extra mile to match my decor! Highly recommended!

Sooners Sack Cougars In Rose Bowl
PASADENA, Calif. (AP) -- This Rose Bowl was one to remember for the Sooners.
And it was one Mike Price would sooner forget.
Price chose to coach seventh-ranked Washington State in the bowl game after accepting the Alabama coaching job two weeks ago. But No. 8 Oklahoma gave him rude send-off, winning 34-14 Wednesday.
"It's not the way we wanted to end it, by any means," said Price, leaving after 14 years on the job. "It's a disappointing way to finish."
Washington State (10-3) was held to a season-low 243 yards - just 4 on the ground - and didn't score until the final six minutes, by which time Oklahoma had a 27-0 lead.
Jason Gesser, the Cougars' star quarterback, was 17-of-34 for 239 yards and two interceptions, and was sacked six times.
"It doesn't surprise me," Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said. "I answered questions all week about can we cover the pass. Our history proves that. You don't win as much as we have the last three years without being able to do that."
Oklahoma (12-2) was burned by deep passes in its two losses, but Gesser became another topflight quarterback handcuffed by the Sooners. They had previously throttled Seneca Wallace of Iowa State, Kliff Kingsbury of Texas Tech and Chris Simms of Texas.
While the defense was controlling Washington State, Nate Hybl was solid at quarterback and Quentin Griffin had his 10th straight 100-yard game.
Hybl, like Griffin playing his final game, was 19-of-29 for 240 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. He was voted the game's MVP.
"I'm proud of him, mostly because of the person he is, the character he exhibits and the way he handles himself on the field," Stoops said. "He's been solid for us all year and we've been fortunate to have him."
Griffin, who had 1,740 yards during the regular season, had 144 yards on 30 carries and scored the Sooners' final touchdown on a 19-yard run.
The Sooners outgained Washington State by a 2-to-1 margin in the first half but had just a 3-0 lead before scoring twice in the final 1:51.
The first touchdown came on a 12-yard pass from Hybl to Antwone Savage. Hybl also had completions of 30 and 19 yards in the 65-yard drive.
The Cougars were forced to punt on their next possession and Antonio Perkins returned the kick 51 yards for a touchdown that made it 17-0. Perkins was due - he had two other big returns wiped out by penalties in the first quarter.
After being shut out in the first half for the first time this season, the Cougars put together a nice drive to open the third quarter. They moved from their 8 to the Oklahoma 41 before Gesser was intercepted on a tipped ball. Oklahoma turned that into a field goal and a 20-0 lead.
Washington State moved to the Oklahoma 34 early in the fourth quarter but turned it over on downs, failing to convert a fourth-and-1 play. The Sooners then drove 66 yards in 11 plays, with Hybl hitting Curtis Fagan on a 9-yard scoring pass to make it 27-0 with 8:02 to play.
"I was looking to prove some people wrong," said Hybl, often the target of criticism in Oklahoma despite his 20-3 record as starter the past two seasons. "It's fairy tail-ish. It hasn't sunk in yet."
The Cougars came in averaging just under 35 points but didn't score until Gesser's 37-yard pass Jerome Riley with 6:08 remaining, avoiding their first shutout since 1984.
After Oklahoma's final touchdown, Sammy Moore scored on an 89-yard kickoff return for the Cougars.
The Sooners were playing in their 36th bowl game but their first Rose Bowl. They got invited after the Orange Bowl picked Iowa and Southern California for its game. That left the Rose Bowl without a Pac-10-Big 10 matchup for the first time since 1947, not counting last year when this game was the site of the BCS national championship game between Miami and Nebraska.
Price will get to see the Sooners again shortly. His second game as the Crimson Tide's coach will be against Oklahoma.
He was asked whether his decision to stick around may have played a part in the Cougars' performance.
"I'm sure I'll get my fair share of the blame for that, which is OK. I just wanted to do everything I could to help the team win," Price said.
Offensive guard Billy Knott said Price's situation had no bearing.
"I don't buy it, not at all," he said. "We lost because we didn't play the way we needed to play. They did it today, they played better."

EXETER — Water Street Bookstore, 125 Water St., is hosting Abi Maxwell, author of Lake People, on Tuesday, March 5 at 7 p.m.
A haunting, luminous debut novel set in a small New Hampshire town: the story of the crisscrossing of lives, within and without family, and of one woman, given up for adoption as a baby, searching for the truth about her life.
As an infant, Alice Thornton was discovered in Kettleborough, New Hampshire, in a boathouse by the lake; adopted by a young, childless couple; raised with no knowledge of the women who came before her: Eleonora, who brought her family to Bear Island, the nearly uninhabitable scrap of land in Kettleborough's lake; Signe, the maiden aunt who nearly drowned in the lake, ashamed of her heart; Sophie, the grandmother who turned a blind eye to her unwanted granddaughter. Alice grows up aching for an acceptance she can't quite imagine, trying to find it first with an older man, then with one who can't love her back, and finally in the love she feels for one she has never met. And all the while, she feels a mysterious pull to the lake. As Alice edges ever closer to her past, Lake People beautifully evokes the interweaving of family history and individual fate, and the intangible connections we feel to the places where we were born.
Abi Maxwell was born and raised in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire, where she currently lives. She studied fiction writing at the University of Montana, and now works as an assistant librarian at the Gilford Public Library. This is her first book.
This event is free and open to the public. Please call (603) 778-9731 or visit www.waterstreetbooks.com for more information.

Hi, I'm living near Porter Square, and looking for a hitting partner. Is anyone interested and know of a relatively inexpensive place to play indoors? I'm willing to travel (by public transit) to play.

I'm down to play. I was gonna join the BAC. It looks like it''d be $20 for you to walk in as my "guest" and $18hr each for singles or $9 for dbls. That's a little steep but there's not a lot of indoor options
Yeah, that's a little too steep for me. Thanks though, and maybe we could get together when the weather improves this spring.
Hey John, so for a guest its $20 just to walk in and $18 per hour on top of that.... that makes $38 for the first hour :) yikes.... I think I will just join the Woburn RC.... hey what is the price of the membership @ BAC?
hey, i live really close to you, and i have a car, but i haven't found an inexpensive place to hit. but we should keep in touch, especially when it gets warmer. [email removed - please shave private info via PM or Friend Request, thanks]
I would be happy to play with you, I live in davis square. I usually go hit at the Harvard Sports Complex, usually is 20dls an hour in the indoor courts, outdoor courts are free! I am a 5.0
I work in Cambridge M-F and can play outdoors from 5 to 730PM. As long as there's a court and parking, I can meet up with you there. Let me know.

Berne (Indiana, USA)
Berne, Indiana, a town (pop. 1950 2,300; 2000, 4,150), seat of the largest Mennonite congregation in North America in the 1950s, and center of the large Swiss Mennonite settlement, is located in Adams County about 35 miles (55 km) south of Fort Wayne. Approximately 1,800 Mennonites (including children), belonging to the General Conference Mennonite Church, Fellowship of Evangelical Churches, and various Amish groups, live within the vicinity in all directions from the town, about 35 per cent living in Berne in the early 1950s. Swiss Mennonites from the canton of Bern, Switzerland, first settled here in 1838, and gave the town its name.
Mennonite churches in this area in the 1950s included the First Mennonite (Mennonite Church USA), in town; Evangelical (Defenseless) Mennonite, in the country; Amish Christian, in the country; and three Old Order Amish groups meeting in homes. The two Missionary Churches in the town and country originally split off from the Defenseless Mennonite group, which in turn was originally Amish from Alsace. The Mennonite Book Concern and many Mennonite business places are located in Berne. The unique things about the community are its Swiss culture, its musical interests, and its religious atmosphere as well as high moral standards! See the article on First Mennonite Church for an account of the history of the Swiss Mennonite community, and the article Berne, Indiana, USA, Old Order Amish Settlement for the Amish history.

Redmond, Marlins still unclear about collision rule
JUPITER, Fla. -- MLB's new home plate-collisions rule has been met with both clarity and confusion at Marlins camp.
After months of speculation, catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia is glad that guidelines are now in place.
JUPITER, Fla. -- MLB's new home plate-collisions rule has been met with both clarity and confusion at Marlins camp.
After months of speculation, catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia is glad that guidelines are now in place.
"I understand what they're doing, they're protecting the catchers," Saltalamacchia said. "They're trying to eliminate the dirty plays. I'm for that.
"From what I understand, it's basically going to be the same. You just can't block the plate without the ball. I always thought that was a rule to begin with."
Still, after reading the rule, manager Mike Redmond notes there is some confusion over how the rule will be interpreted.
"There are definitely still some grey areas to this rule," Redmond said. "I think the meat of it is good. The targeting of the catchers is winning over. But I still feel like we're going to approach this thing the same way as far as our catchers, how we set up.
"We set up and give them the back part of the plate so they can either slide into it or reach with their hand. You can still block the plate as long as you have the ball. And that's what we're going to do. I don't think it's a huge adjustment for us."
The basics of the new rule are:
• The catcher may not block the pathway of a runner attempting to score unless he has possession of the ball. If the catcher blocks the runner before he has the ball, the umpire may call the runner safe.
• All calls will be based on the umpire's judgment. The umpire will consider such factors as whether the runner made an effort to touch the plate and whether he lowered his shoulder or used his hands, elbows or arms when approaching the catcher.
• Runners are not required to slide, and catchers in possession of the ball are allowed to block the plate. However, runners who do slide and catchers who provide the runner with a lane will never be found in violation of the rule.
• The expanded instant replay rules, which also go into effect this season, will be available to review potential violations of Rule 7.13.
Redmond, a former catcher, still is unclear if the baserunner can lower his shoulder to dislodge the ball, if the catcher is standing at the plate. The way the organization hears it, runners will not be allowed to extend their arms in an attempt to pry the ball free.
"What I've told our runners, you've just got to slide at home plate, that's the way it is," Redmond said. "The catchers, once they catch the ball, they're going to be able to block the plate. It's going to be interesting to see how those bang-bang plays at home, the instinct plays, how they work."
From a technique standpoint, the Marlins are relieved their catchers won't have to reprogram the way they set up to receive a throw and apply a tag.
"The only grey area I see, maybe, is on the runner's side of it," Saltalamacchia said. "Knowing he may have to slide, but if the catcher is in the way, you want to score. That might cause some issues. Hopefully not. I don't think there is any clear-cut way. I think this is probably the best way it could have gone. There is not going to be a happy side, unless it stays the way it is."

Northern Pass route called into question
By DAVE SOLOMON
New Hampshire Union Leader
Northeast Utilities and its partners in developing the Northern Pass hydroelectric project say they have acquired a route for the 1,200-megawatt transmission lines through the North Country.
In an announcement posted Monday as a "project update" on the Northern Pass website, spokesmen for Northeast Utilities wrote: "We are in the process of finalizing this new proposal and will soon be prepared to announce its specific details. This proposal was created in consideration of concerns raised regarding potential view impacts and private property issues."
The new route would eventually have to be identified in detail and submitted to the New Hampshire Site Evaluation Commission for approval.
The Web post also states, "In response to the feedback we received, we have spent the past year identifying routing options that would locate the line on land that we own or that has easements we have obtained from willing sellers, and positions the line in a manner that reduces potential view impacts as much as possible."
Jack Savage, a spokesman for the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests, pointed out that the statement does not say Northern Pass owns the land or has obtained the easements at issue.
"It's important to recognize this is not what they promised they were going to have, which is no surprise to us," he said. "We pretty much knew all along that they would not be able to come up with a route by the end of the year, nor do I think that they are ever going to."
In a statement released in August, Northeast Utilities executives told financial analysts to expect a filing with regulators by the end of the year for the massive project that would deliver hydroelectric power from Quebec into the New England power grid, via New Hampshire.
Northeast Utilities and its subsidiary, Public Service of New Hampshire, already have rights of way along 140 miles of the 180-mile route, but acquiring property or easements along 40 miles in Coos County has been challenging, especially since the Society for New Hampshire Forests has been buying land or obtaining easements in a series of "blocking actions."
"They are trying to say positive things, without acknowledging that they do not in fact have a route," Savage said.
Both sides in the Northern Pass land acquisition chess game made major moves as the year ended, with the forest society announcing large easements in strategic parts of the North Country, while PSNH was able to close on a major land deal in Clarksville.
"Today marks a major setback for Northern Pass and its owner Northeast Utilities," said Jim Dannis, a Dalton resident and Northern Pass opponent. "This 'non-announcement' calls into question whether Northern Pass has any viable route at all through upper Coos County."
Northeast Utilities officials said in their announcement that they needed time to communicate with people in the affected communities. "We recognize that while we are communicating with local citizens, stakeholders and public officials across New Hampshire, there is still much that can be done. We believe this communication and dialogue is critical to the ultimate success of the new route and the project overall and felt it was necessary to take some additional time to continue these efforts before we publicly announce the new routing proposal."
The power company said it has improved the structure design so that the towers would be kept to approximately 85 feet, instead of 100 to 135 feet, in the national forest and along the new rights of way.
"We are appreciative of the positive support we have received from all across the state, and are very proud to have the full endorsement of the two largest Chambers of Commerce in New Hampshire (Manchester and Nashua)," the statement said. "Our recent jobs meetings in Coos County were an enormous success, and we look forward to resuming those meetings in the new year, along with informational outreach meetings across the state."
Dannis said no amount of communication will address the concerns of opponents, adding, "Northern Pass's promises that the route they may announce in the future will somehow address views, property values and community concerns are just plain ridiculous."
Savage characterized Monday's announcement as yet another in a series of delays.
'If you look back, you'll find that back last May and June, they were saying they would have a route announcement in August, then September, then by the end of the year," he said. "This is yet another delay in a long series of delays and it's because they don't have public support for this. We've attempted to stop them from building this project as proposed, and we are going to continue that work."

Stocks are closing lower on concern that lawmakers will run out of time to reach a budget deal before year-end.
The Dow Jones industrial average lost 52 points to close at 13,139 Monday in a shortened holiday trading session.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell three points to 1,427. The Nasdaq composite dropped 8 points to close at 3,013.
Sen. Joe Lieberman said that it is now "more likely we'll go over the cliff than not," following the failure of a plan by House Speaker John Boehner's to allow tax rates to rise on wealthier Americans.
Failure to agree on a budget plan by Jan. 1 would lead to government spending cuts and tax hikes that could push the economy into recession.
Stocks closed early Monday before the Christmas.

Les Printemps Precieux De Chanel Spring 2013: Frivole Joues Contraste & Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss in Attirance
Its a medium bright orange peach in the compact and applies as such. Though I apply this very lightly, it can look slightly too dark and is prone to mixing with my natural redness to make the skin look ruddy.
However, when my complexion is clearer and I apply it with exactly the right touch, it does add a lovely warm bright flush to the skin. Though it looks matte on swatching it does have a slight sheen about it.
Swatched below on the left and blended in a lot on the right
Swatched below L-R Tom Ford Love Lust, Chanel Frivole, Chantecaille Fun, Rouge Bunny Rouge Starina.
Ingredients below (I have not experienced any breaks outs so far).
In terms of feel, this is quite smooth, though slightly powdery and a tiny bit dry. It blends in well and has a good wear time, with only slight fading after 5 hours.
I'm always caught in two minds about the Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss, the texture is a bit thick and tacky and yet they have some beautiful colours in the line up. I couldn't resist the limited edition Attirance (£25).
Its a warm golden peach with subtle shimmer. Its quite sheer and makes for a great natural polished lip.
I bought these from Boots.

Summer's Spice: Beebalm Flower Infused Honey
It won't be long now until the first brilliant purple flowers of Beebalm explode into bloom here in the Canyon. Locals call this gorgeous wildflower either Oregano de la Sierra or just Wild Oregano. Because yep, it tastes spicy and rather Oregano-like. The botanical name of this particular species is a bit long, being Monarda fistulosa var. menthaefolia, but really, any Monarda species will work just fine for most medicinal, culinary and other uses. The specific actions will, however, vary with the exact flavor and impression of the particular plants you work with.
There can be quite a bit of taste variation through the genus of Monarda, all are aromatic but some veer more toward the sweet end of the taste spectrum while others are definitely most appropriately called spicy. Our own wild Beebalm certainly has the capacity to make your eyes water and to elicit surprised yelps from the sensitive mouths of those who didn't quite believe me when I said it was hot. There's also often a buttery or oily aftertaste, a smooth slickness left on the tongue after ingestion of a leaf. This buttery effect doesn't seem to be present in all species but is certainly an element of our local Beebalm.
This versatile plant has myriad uses in food, medicine and beyond and its one of my favorite herbs to talk about at length. It can be prepared a variety of ways, from the dried leaf to the tincture of the flowering tops to a sweet elixir of the flowers. What we'll be talking about here though, is the preparation and use of the flower infused honey.
- About a pint jar full of recently harvested, roughly chopped Beebalm flowers
- Appr. a pint of local raw honey
- Fill jar with Beebalm flowers
- Fill again with honey
- Stir with butter knife, chopstick or something similar to remove air bubbles
- Top off with honey
- Repeat until jar is full of flowers and honey
- Cover and allow to infuse for about 4 weeks
Now you have Beebalm flower infused honey. You can either warm it gently and strain it or use it as is. The flower bits taste good and make the medicine stronger but not everyone appreciates the texture.
Here are a few ways in which Beebalm honey can be helpful:
- Burn/Wounds – An excellent dressing for wounds and burns, even severe or extensive burns. Honey itself is very healing and can help to prevent or resolve infections, but the blood moving properties of Beebalm speed healing, lessen pain and treat infection. I especially love a combo of Evening Primrose (Oenothera)/Beebalm flower infused honey for moderate to severe burns or wounds.
- Sadness & Stagnant Tension – Beebalm is a relaxant nervine. Being vary aromatic, it tends to be dispersive, moving energy and fluids up and outward. This makes it especially helpful for Kapha types with a tendency toward stagnation on a emotional level. It can help with sadness or tension that won't seem to go away, especially when accompanied by a sense of stuckness and coldness. Be aware that it can make already spacey Vatas even more spacey (it's that upward movement thing, when Vatas often need grounding, downward moving herbs). They'll often like that euphoric feeling but it may or may not be helpful to them overall. Beebalm is also common ingredient in my formulas for those with seasonal affective disorder.
- Tummy Troubles – Being an aromatic with an affinity for the gut (otherwise known as a carminative), Beebalm works very nicely on achy, bloated bellies where there's a sense of stuckness and dampness. It also combines well with many bitters, which would also usually be indicated in such a scenario.
- Sore Throat – Especially good for those achy, sorta scratchy sore throats. If there's a sense of rawness, add in some Mallow root or Elm bark. If it's more of a sharp, burning sort of sore throat, add in or substitute Rose petals.
- Respiratory Infection/Congestion – I've often talked about Beebalm leaves used in an herbal steam for cold/damp respiratory infection and congestion but the honey also makes a great addition to many respiratory formulas.
- Inflammation – Beebalm is great for many forms of systemic inflammation. I seem to use it where a lot of people would use Ginger, which makes sense with its spicy, diffusive taste. However, Beebalm is more variable in temperature (a la herbal energetics) and has a more complex mix of stimulant/relaxant effects. I also learned from West Viriginia Herbwife Rebecca Hartman that Beebalm can be mighty useful in addressing acute Lupus flareups, especially where there's concurrent rheumatoid arthritis and the flareups manifest as acute joint inflammation and body pain. I usually work with the tincture/elixir for this purpose, but the hones seems to work pretty well too.
- Infections – Those of you who've read my other writings on Beebalm will be familiar with how often I use it for many sorts of systemic or local infections. However, the sugar content of honey makes this particular preparation less than ideal for that use, so stick with the tea, elixir or tincture for that application.
- Food – Well yeah, it just plain tastes good. Add it to nearly any hot tea, to all sorts of sauces and desserts or even just straight from the spoon (not the whole jar at once though, folks).

Awesome info, Kiva! 🙂
I have long admired beebalm, but have never grown any. I will check to see if it thrives in this area; if it is a native, I've never seen it in the South.
I'm all inspired! 🙂
Great post as usual, Kiva! For Danu: In the deep south, look for what's called dotted horse mint = Monarda punctata. Many of the same qualities and also fairly "spicy" in flavor. The oldtimers called it 'rignum, for it's resemblance to oregano.
I have always loved Beebalm, and have always grown it. Now I know why! Thank you!
Thx Susan! 🙂
I've made an itty bitty jar of honey infusion. LOL Can't wait to taste it!
Amazing, the different qualities demonstrated by the same plants grown in different areas! Maybe it's due to different qualities of soils they're grown in, or it's due to different environmental factors or stressors, like climate extremes, I don't know. I had trouble growing Monardas, I purchased package after package of seed from different vendors, to no avail…no sprouts resulted. But the flowers are so very beautiful, and I wanted some plants for the hummingbirds & to add to tea, having heard it gave tea an orange (bergamot) type flavor, (Monarda Didyma)–so I persisted. I finally found an herb supplier that carried it, and ordered three plants, which arrived in healthy condition, and I planted them in a damp area, thinking that since they were so obviously in the mint family, that they might survive growing in that particular patch of dirt that was so lethal to my other aromatic herbs, (lavenders, rosemary,etc.) because of it's constant damp. I now have the first brilliant red, firecracker flower. I've watched it's ongoing pollination over the last 3 days, (butterflies & hummingbirds, -no bees) and am hoping for viable seed. There's no way there'll be any flower harvest (for me) this year…but your article aroused my curiosity enough to go out and sample some of the drooping red stamens from the pollinated flower, (they're dropping off anyway).
Delicious, but nary a hint of heat. Unfortunately, neither any hint of citrus, (drat it!) A most definite oregano/majoram flavor, and a bit of honey like taste from the nectar filled base. Sadly, the plant's leaf edges are also turning brown from probably the rust monardas seem to be susceptible to, but I don't think there's anything I can do about it. Fortunately, it doesn't seem to attack these plants until they're in flower, and nearing the natural end of their cycle. Thank you for posting your article and the picture of your beautiful Monarda, too, hopefully in a few years I'll be able to try making monarda -honey.
Cyra: next, take a taste of the rest of the flower.
The red bits that fall off the M. didyma are exceedingly tasty.
The rest of the flowering top is hot hot hot …
Will do that….Soon as the hummingbirds have stopped visiting them. I don't want to scare them away. Their visits are the highlight of my mornings. Today there are three more flowers; by gently tilting one of my three plants downward, I was able to encourage lateral flowers to grow upwards from the stem…so there will be more than three flowers in all.
Best of all, I believe I've found a purple flowered Monarda in the back garden, (M. Fistulosa) but I'm not 100% sure yet. The plant is 1/3 the height of the red variety, the leaves not as serrated, and almost blueish-green in color. Will see when it finishes blooming. I cannot wait til next year, when there will hopefully be more of both types, –and I can hopefully pick more than a sample…
Wow…again, what a difference between the two types of Monardas! Went out front to the red Monardas…and had a nibble. No heat, but a very aromatic, even bitter thyme/oregano taste,with a hint of menthol, and a slightly oily feel to the leaf.. Not particularly pleasant tasting, but probably good medicine, and I'm thinking it would be a good culinary spice, dried and rubbed on poultry. Then, just to satisfy my curiosity, I went out back, and sampled one of the green leaf-like calyxes of the purple flowered plant, that I'm now pretty sure is M. Fistulosa….That tiny, little bit of green was spicy-hot! When there are enough plants, I will be trying them in honey. The purple-flowered Monarda also has a more oregano/thyme-like taste along with that….bite, and the hint of menthol seems less than that of the red (M. Didyma) variety, though I can still taste it. Amazing!
Thanks, Henriette.
Wonder if the two types cross? I hope not, I really like the different colors of the two types!
i made some monarda honey recently for the first time. it is so watery, i'm concerned about mold! i've made flower honeys before and never had this trouble. with the monarda, the honey just turns all runny. other flower honeys seem to maintain the thick syrupy texture of the honey. anyone else experience this, is this typical behavior of monarda? we've had a very dry year so i'm especially surprised.
thanks, katie
Thinking of combining the antifungal benefits of both coconut oil and monarda for yeasty dermatitis type thing on the scalp. Any tips on infusing a solid oil like coconut with the monarda? (or just point me in the right direction)

I had a small community garden plot last summer near where we lived. We have since moved from that town, and I'm part of a larger community garden here.
Over the last several weeks I've been starting seeds out on the deck, preparing them for the planting season. I have a bunch of sunflower seeds I harvested from last years crop, and I've started some of them too. A lot of them, actually. And I still have loads left!
I've planted some in my garden, some in the community part of the garden, and given some away.
This is what looks at me from the deck each morning:
"Plant us! Please plant us!"
Who am I to say no to faces like that?
(And yes, my plants talk to me…..don't yours?)
