The classic frittata offers an elegant solution for those times when you have only eggs and cheese in the fridge. Combined with some of spring's freshest flavors, it provides a healthy dose of fiber, omega-3s, and vitamins A and D.
- Yield
- Makes 6 servings
- Total Time
- 30 minutes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 leek stalk (light part only), sliced thin
- 1/2 cup fresh peas, blanched and drained
- 6 large eggs
- 1 small bunch fresh mint, stems removed, torn into small pieces
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 ounces ricotta salata, crumbled (or fresh ricotta or goat cheese)
- 1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
- 2. Heat the oil in a large ovenproof sauté pan over medium heat. Add the leek and sauté until soft, then add the peas and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more.
- 3. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, beat the eggs with 1 tablespoon water.
- 4. Add the eggs and half the mint to the pan, season with the salt and pepper, and cook, lifting the edges with a spatula to allow the uncooked eggs to flow to the bottom. When the frittata is partly cooked (7 to 10 minutes), sprinkle on the ricotta and transfer the pan to the oven.
- 5. Bake until puffed, golden, and set, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove and allow to cool slightly. Garnish with the remaining mint to taste and serve.
A frittata is easy to improvise and will taste delicious with just about any ingredient you decide to toss in. Experiment freely with everything from hard or soft cheeses to chopped onions and shallots to a handful of diced ham or cooked bacon.

Quote of the Week: May 2-9th
Read more
A new weekly feature; some weeks the quote will be quite long, some weeks it will be short. There is no rhyme or reason to why I choose them other than they speak deeply to me.
"You are—strange though it may seem, almost as hard to believe as the resurrection itself—accomplishing something that will become in due course part of God's new world. Every act of love, gratitude, and kindness; every work of art or music inspired by the love of God and delight in the beauty of his creation; every minute spent teaching a severely handicapped child to read or to walk; every act of care and nurture, of comfort and support, for one's fellow human beings and for that matter one's fellow nonhuman creatures; and of course every prayer, all Spirit-led teaching, every deed that spreads the gospel, builds up the church, embraces and embodies holiness rather than corruption, and makes the name of Jesus honored in the world—all of this will find its way through the resurrection power of God, into the new creation that God will one day make. That is the logic of the mission of God."
~ Bishop N.T. Wright, "Surprised by Hope" pg 208
Battling Cancer
Read more
I'm standing in a sterile, tiny hospital room with my dad sitting slightly upright in his bed with an IV hanging out of his arm. He is in good spirits, talking to those in the room with a quiet confidence and peace. My mom and my wife are sitting as the four of us wait for the doctor to come in and prep my dad for his surgery. Its Prostate Cancer vs. Amazing Technological Advancement in the Form of Precise, Surgical Robotics: Round I. Soon my dad will be wheeled into the operating room for an intense 5 hour surgery removing the cancer cells in his prostate. He will be tilted upside down and the doctor, using a remote controlled robot, will cut several inch-long incisions in his stomach and slice away the cancer from his body. For now though, the four of us sit and wait. We talk about a lot and my dad never shies away from questions about how he is doing with it all. Its one of the things I appreciate about my dad; he is open and honest and doesn't try to act like everything is ok, but instead talks about what he is thinking and going through. Like me, he processes out loud.
I am quieter than usual, ready for the surgery to start, not so I can escape the hospital but so it will be over. The nurses come in and the anesthesiologist begins his work and then Alex, mom and I are standing in a pale hallway as my dad falls asleep and is wheeled away.
Cancer is a funny thing…actually wait; it's a horribly awful thing. It comes from nothing, overtakes areas of a body and eventually kills you. In some ways cancer is the best embodiment of how broken and fallen our world is. It is manifest evil whose whole existence is about subduing, weakening and destroying. Cancer is…well, pretty damn scary. For my dad to be diagnosed, then cut open was terrifying. My mind wanted to go to the worst of scenarios: a botched surgery, the cancer spreading far faster than doctors had anticipated, I even thought, what if there is a major earthquake in the middle of the operation or worse, what if the robot becomes self aware and my dad is the first victim of the unavoidable robot uprising?
I prayed throughout the weeks leading up to the surgery. I had many friends praying as well, asking God for his will to be done in the situation, for the surgeon to have steady hands and for my dad's recovery to go well. I believed I had a peace about it but it wasn't until I saw my dad in that bed, waiting to put his life and body in the hands of a stranger who was going to cut him open, that I was able to fully let go and place everything at the feet of Jesus. Seeing my dad's peace and faith in the Lord allowed me to experience the same. Was I convinced that everything was going to work out perfectly?...No, but I was convinced that whatever happened, God was love and God knew better than I did.
My dad came home late the next day and I remember him asking me if I wanted to see something gross and of course I said yes. He pulled up his shirt and showed me five or six sets of staples holding his stomach incisions together. I couldn't help but think without them his stomach would have had holes gushing out blood, like a hole in a water balloon filled with tomato juice. He was weak but alive, tired but lucid, needing rest but with his family. I wondered that night what a battle with cancer does to your relationship with God, how much the depths of one's faith is tested when your life is on the line, and how tightly you would grasp onto the beauty of Jesus when the ugly destruction of cancer lines your insides…then I realized, in a different but no less profound way, I had myself been battling cancer. That my mom, my sister, my wife, my dad's closest friends had all been battling cancer. And please don't think I am minimizing my dad's physical fight with cancer, but that battle does spill over and sweep up those closest to you. We all were asking ourselves those questions, all of us were having our faith tested.
It was then that I realized God had been trolling the depths of my faith as much as he had been my dad's and I was forced to love him and hold on tightly to him in my own helplessness. I can tell you the beauty of Jesus is so much clearer in the midst of the ugliest things. Seeing my dad's relationship with Christ overflowing with the knowledge of how loved he is, was humbling and wonderful and a memory I will no doubt go back to in the future.
This was my first real reflection on my dad's cancer, the first time I have put anything about it into words and actually, the first thing I have written in over a month. Leave it to cancer to bust through writer's block. My dad is currently doing well, his recovery continues and the cancer is officially gone from his body. The staples have been removed from his stomach and he is feeling better each day. Thanks to all those who prayed for him and our family in the past month and sorry it took so long for me to write about this. I just needed a few weeks for the reality of God's love to sink in.

Pratt & Whitney Materials Control Laboratory's Mitten Tree Helps Homeless
"Warm hands signify a warm heart," writes Candace Christiansen in her children's story, "The Mitten Tree." It is believed that this enchanting tale of generosity was the impetus in the formation of National Mitten Tree Day, which is now celebrated each Dec. 6.
Employees of Pratt & Whitney's Materials Control Laboratory had always been interested in a community service project, but with the logistics of the department, which has people stationed all over the country and around the world, a charitable endeavor wasn't something that they were able to easily accomplish.
"One day last fall, Justin Beacham and I were discussing community service again, and the idea of a Mitten Tree came up," explained Lynn Nelson. "It was something that could be contributed to by the entire department, even those in other states and oversees, and it was something that we hadn't seen done at Pratt before."
Between mittens and gloves donated by East Hartford Pratt & Whitney employees and those mailed in or purchased through other branches, a total of 146 pairs were collected.
"Some were donated from as far away as Taiwan and Korea, plus two hats and one scarf," said Nelson.
Materials Control Laboratory staff came together on Dec. 6, 2013 to assemble the tree while enjoying cookies and cocoa, making for a festive, warmhearted celebration.
"We ended up with more than double what we expected ... [and] we were able to collect mittens and gloves from infant sized to extra-large men's sizes and all sizes in between," noted Nelson.
The items were donated to the Marshall House Homeless Shelter in Hartford, Conn., an organization run by the Salvation Army for families in need.
"They were thrilled to get the mittens and gloves," said Nelson.
She added, "This was the first time we did this, but considering the success of the tree and the fact that practically everyone in the department, even those stationed elsewhere, contributed and really enjoyed it, it will probably be an annual event from now on."

We're constantly sorted into different roles, and this categorization helps us know our place in the world. Some roles have titles, like "leader," "follower," or "observer."
These roles often change in any given situation. Board members often have to switch between their "day" jobs as managers or community leaders to their roles as volunteer directors.
But it's often through this constant shuffle of roles that directors can lose track of their fiduciary and strategic duties. The way you participate in the boardroom affects your role as a board member.
The first step is recognizing that all directors are responsible for the credit union's strategic decisions. That means every person's unique skills and strengths are assets for instituting effective practices and policies.
You can't rely on your board's chairman alone to drive the credit union's vision; nor can he or she be a scapegoat for poor decisions.
This tendency to rely entirely on the chairman can lead to poor leadership and decision making. It also can cause fiscal responsibility to go by the wayside. Instead, each board member should contribute equally to a board's strategic decisions.
To fine-tune relationships within the board, I like to refer to the Latin phrase primus inter pares, or "first among equals." This phrase has historically referred to a group of community elders working together as equally responsible clan members, trying to live peacefully as members of the same land.
One of these elders was named to oversee meetings and mediate tough decisions. This role today is held by a board's chairman—a peer with the duty of keeping board peace and promoting fair and efficient governance.
A board often elects this person to the position because he or she regularly demonstrates quality leadership and/or longevity.
With this title also comes the responsibility of board meeting oversight. And often the chairman can get bogged down with other tasks because board members haven't stepped up.
To ease the chairman's burden, recognize he or she isn't in some lofty position, but instead is "first among equals." It's the chairman's job to help the board stay on task and stay committed to your credit union's strategic values—not to pick up other directors' slack.
So, in looking to the chairman as our leader, we can act as followers, grateful for the chairman's dedication to the credit union.
Paul Beedle, author and "followership" expert, says: "Followership is a discipline of supporting leaders and helping them to lead well. It's not submission, but the wise and good care of leaders, done out of a sense of gratitude for their willingness to take on the responsibilities of leadership, and a sense of hope and faith in their abilities and potential."
And by considering this point of view, we can better serve our chairman. We also can commit ourselves to being actively engaged board directors, fulfilling our duties without relying on only a few to do the work.
GEOFFREY J. GRUDZINSKI serves on the board of $244 million asset RBCU, Richfield, Minn.

Oh, Eric! When you flashback to your dirty, crusty Viking warrior past, and say stuff like, "Wherever I am there will always be women," you're really quite irresistible. So. Last night we found out:
Godric made Eric. Which is why Eric is so intent on finding Godric. And Godric is a vamp who looks like a tattooed, emo little boy, so we're obviously looking forward to that. What else?
A few things:
- Doe, a deer, Daphne is a deer.
- Arlene and Terry. Did they or didn't they? Are they or aren't they?
- "You didn't say not to order off the menu. You are going to be so sorry when I get an eating disorder." — Jessica.
- The thing that Maryann did to Tara to make her life miserable while she was working at the bar? I'm pretty sure Maryann has done that to me once or twice.
- Sarah Newlin giving Jason Stackhouse a soapy handjob in the bath: "God wants you to have a reward."
In addition, there was a Daily Beast piece over the weekend in which Michelle Goldberg claims that True Blood's universe is "like the right's worst nightmare about post-gay-liberation America come to life." She asserts that "most of the vampires we meet are arrogant, perverse, and cruel-everything the far right believes gays to be." She continues:
The vampire leaders are voracious and vain; in one of this season's most darkly funny scenes, one of them dismembers a man while getting foil highlights, then frets about the blood in his hair.
Underlying much antigay literature is the unspoken assumption that homosexuality, while disgusting, is also unbearably tempting. And so, in True Blood, is sex with vampires. Sookie aside, those who crave it are somewhat pathetic-they're referred to, derisively, as fangbangers. Human-vampire carnality is often rough and humiliating. When there is love involved, it's laced with darkness, tragedy, and pain.
Although it's true that the show has a camp quality, so do many types of entertainment. None of the characters are all good or all bad; all of the characters vacillate between making wise and poor decisions. But as for the idea that the hedonistic world is some kind of ring-winger's nightmare, my response is: I'd much rather watch that than a right-winger's dream.

For those who prefer a smartphone of colour, Vodafone has grabbed an exclusive for its customers with the red Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo. It's expected to arrive on virtual shelves in the coming weeks but before you have to make the agonising decision, Pocket-lint went hands on with the Android Gingerbread handset to give you the low down.
It's worth mentioning from the off that, for a mid-range smartphone, the Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo has a very premium feel. Built with a similar love and care as the HTC Legend, the all-metal body feels reassuringly expensive in the hand with a rather appealing finish that somehow manages to be both anodised and high gloss at the same time.
It's a fairly busy design from the three hard Android keys at the bottom (menu, home and back) to the numerous ports and switches on the smaller surfaces. That doesn't make it any the less attractive but speaks of its in-depth multimedia functions rather than a fashionable facade.
That said, one of the sides is completely blank boasting a smooth silvery surface but everything else is slightly crammed onto the opposite facet - volume rocker, on/off button, lock and shutter release. It's a similar story with the short ends but perhaps done with a little more style. The top is empty while micro USB and min-HDMI ports are hidden under flaps at the bottom either side of the 3.5mm jack.
Despite all the disruptions to the aesthetic, it's still a nice handset to pull out on the table down the pub with your friends. It will draw a few oohs and ahhs with the snazzy red finish, its attractive curves and that lovely Sony Ericsson Reality Display on top. Best of all, no one will know that you didn't pay top dollar for a high end handset.

H. H. 33rd Menri Trizin, Lungtok Tenpai Nyima Rinpoche
33rd Abbot of Menri Monastery
H. H. Menri Trizin is the spiritual head of the Tibetan Bon religion. He was born in Tibet in 1929, in the village of Kyongtsang, in the far eastern province of Amdo near the Chinese border, and was given the name Lama by the local priest. His mother died when he was a child, and he was raised by A-Nyen Machen, an elderly friend of his family. When Lama was eight, his father Jalo Jongdong took him to the nearby monastery of Phuntsog Dargye Ling, where he learned to read, write, and chant and where he began his lifelong study of the Bon religion. Devoting himself to spiritual practice and scholarship, he completed his Geshe Degree in Philosophy at 25 under the guidance of Lopon Tenzin Lodro Gyatso. The following year he traveled South to the Bon province of Gyalrong, where he printed copies of the Bon Kanjur from traditional woodblocks. After gathering a vast amount of material, and using mules to carry more than 100 volumes of the sacred texts, he made an arduous, six-month journey back to his monastery.
At 27, he set out by foot as a pilgrim, initially to China, where he visited a number of holy sites, and then travelled on, by truck, to Lhasa. For the next several years, he studied in Tibet at the Bon monasteries of Menri, Khana, and Yungdrung Ling, where he became known as Sangye Tenzin Jongdong. He also lived for a time at Drepung Monastery in Lhasa. In 1959, he fled Lhasa for Nepal and met the Abbot of Yungdrung Ling in the province of Dolpo, where the renowned teacher was living in exile. It was also in Dolpo, at Samling Monastery, that he first encountered the Tibetan scholar Professor David Snellgrove of the University of London. In Dolpo, spurred by the urgent need to preserve Bon religion and culture, Sangye Tenzin collected many important Bon texts in both printed and woodblock form, which he subsequently took to India, once again using mules as the most available and reliable means of transportation. In 1961, together with Samten Karmay and several other Bon monks, Sangye Tenzin made his way to New Delhi. There, with the encouragement and support of the Tibetan specialist E. Gene Smith (he was the South Asian representative of the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C.) he continued his lifelong commitment to copy, print, and preserve invaluable sacred Bon texts and literature.
In 1962, with a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation in New York, Sangye Tenzin Jongdong, Samten Karmay, and Tenzin Namdak taught Tibetan culture as assistants to Professor Snellgrove at the School of Oriental and African studies at the University of London where they also studied Western history and culture. While in England and during his travels in Europe, Sangye Tenzin stayed at a number of Christian monasteries.
In 1966, at the invitation of the Tibetan scholar Per Kvaerne, Sangye Tenzin Jongdong was living in Norway and teaching Tibetan history and religion at the University of Oslo. It was then that he learned that he had been selected as the 33rd Abbot of Menri, the spiritual leader of the Bon religion.
In 1969, after extensive preparatory initiations, he assumed his duties as the 33rd Abbot of Menri and accepted the responsibility of leading the effort to reestablish at Dolanji The original Menri Monastery that has been founded in 1405 in the Tibetan province of Tsang and destroyed during Chinese Cultural Revolution in the 1960s. Since then, with insight, skill, and tireless commitment and with the generous assistance of many friends and supporters, H. H. Menri Trizin has focused his time and attention on creating in Dolanji a vibrant and authentic Bon monastery and a living center of the Bon culture and tradition.

Rated 5 out of 5 by sue1955 from Dynamite Product Like a previous reviewer stated, we look for excuses to use it. It really makes a difference on so many savory dishes. It is great for cooking steak and hamburgers. Please don't ever discontinue this product. It's wonderful to have this real (not fake) smokiness. This is a high quality item and I'm so glad that the folks who make this do so!Date published: 2015-07-02Rated 5 out of 5 by Cynkee from Make excuses to use it! This oil is pricey, but worth every penny and every drop. Light, natural smoky flavor, great basted on meats and vegetables on the grill, wonderful to saute with, it will now become a permanent part of my pantry!Date published: 2013-07-02Rated 5 out of 5 by CherylF from Loved Smoked Olive Oil We have used the olive oil several times since receiving it. Has a very good flavor and has complimented what it has been prepared with.Date published: 2012-12-19Rated 5 out of 5 by LeslieMac from Best olive oil ever! I encourage any home-chef to have this olive oil on hand. It is pricey, but well worth the flavor & versatility that it provides. The smoky flavor of the oil (naturally added rather than a "fake" smoke flavoring) is both subtle and effective. I use it on roasted vegetables (potatoes especially), steamed green beans (with salt & pepper), in risotto, and in salad dressing or sauces (sub 1/4 of total oil for a pesto for example). Also makes a great gift for any friends who are trying out the Paleo diet - which requires all natural flavor additives to food.Date published: 2012-11-25Rated 5 out of 5 by ItalianCoffeeLover from Great all arounder I find I have to ration my use of this since I can only get it while I'm in the US as it doesn't ship internationally. Otherwise, I'd use this on pretty much everything. But my favourite uses are: Stir-fry greens, roasted potatoes, risotto, roasted chicken and my surprising favourite - bolognese sauce when sautéing the shallots and beef. Also, a little goes a long way in terms of flavour, so I sometimes mix it with regular virgin olive oil if I need a lot of oil for a dish. You seriously can't go wrong with this. A must have in any kitchen that loves a smokey flavour.Date published: 2012-05-21

One of our favorite stories about the power of Hyland Software's OnBase workflow management software solution comes from Johns Hopkins University. In 2010, a powerful blizzard shut down much of the Northeast of the United States, stranding most of Johns Hopkins University's admissions staff at home during its busiest admissions season in the school's history with a "decision" deadline fast approaching.
Potentially bad news because, in the world of higher education, the sooner you can accept university applicants in the admissions cycle, the better chance the student will select your university to attend. It's also important because universities want to identify and offer admission to the best-fit students (those that will excel and graduate) faster than the competition.
Before the storm, however, Johns Hopkins implemented a document management solution that included workflow management. So instead of hauling files to and from work, hand delivering "decisioned" paper files to the operations staff, and having that information manually inputted into a computer, the university's admissions staff electronically "decisioned" files and had those files posted directly to the enterprise database.
The solution made life easier for everyone. Oh, and the staff recorded the most productive reading week ever.
Not surprising to Paul Lloyd, senior developer at Hyland Software. It's the perfect example of workflow allowing "high value workers to concentrate on high-value tasks. For the business this means a greater throughput, which means happier customers."
Go with the workflow
"Workflow management automates business processes allowing work to be shared efficiently between workers," explains Lloyd. "It matches work tasks with the workers that can best do them."
In a higher education admissions setting, this would mean that, after a university application was electronically inputted into the solution, it would be electronically routed to the appropriate staff person. That might be based on workload, specialisation or any other factor the university decided.
Supporting material – transcripts, essays and so forth –in electronic form would follow along and be easily retrievable, freeing the staffer from the low-value task of hunting for the loose paper documentation.
"Once they're done with their work, the work task is automatically routed to the next worker," says Lloyd.
The end benefit, regardless of the industry, is higher efficiency and speed to resolution.
"Employees at every level work more efficiently because they spend more time on tasks best suited to their individual skill. They do what they were hired to do," says Lloyd. "Employees won't waste work time searching for documents or supporting material. It helps put an end to the low-value task."
How do I know if I need workflow?
Do any of these problems eat at your efficiency? If so, they you need a workflow solution:
- Employees are spending too much time doing low-value tasks (searching for documents, waiting for or manually transferring paper files, losing critical documents, duplicating work)
- Some employees are swamped with work, while others are idle
- Busy decision makers are causing bottlenecks in the process because they must be involved but are regularly unavailable
- Employees are cherry-picking work (most interesting, most valuable to them, and so forth) to the detriment of corporate goals
Not all pain points are solved with workflow, however. So when you consider the problems above, make sure you measure them against business processes that can be broken down into a sequence of well-defined steps; multiple steps completed by different people or groups.
And don't overwhelm the organisation with an enterprise-wide solution right off the bat, suggests Lloyd. Great enterprise content management solutions rarely – if ever – start enterprise-wide.
"A departmental solution is a good place to start," says Lloyd. "Consider starting small, using workflow to automate a well-defined process such as accounts payable or human resources. Solutions there can raise productivity almost immediately."
OnBase workflows are easy to configure: no programming knowledge is required. "Even the most complex solutions require very little programming; it's mostly point-and-click configurable. But it's extremely powerful," says Lloyd.
And you don't need a huge investment in training or in support staff, adds Lloyd. Many workflow solutions are administered by the business users themselves. "It's a quick return on investment."
"As other departments discover the benefits of workflow, they'll soon sign up," says Lloyd.
And then, happily, your solution is enterprise-wide.

How to Get Rid of Weeds Strategy 1: The best weed killer for lawns is prevention
The best weed killer is prevention! Each type of grass has an ideal cutting height for good health and strong growth. When cut no lower than that height, and when cut before it gets too long, the grass will usually out-compete lawn weeds as long as it's also fertilized and watered properly. Longer grass helps prevent weeds in a couple of different ways. The taller growth shades the ground, keeping it cooler and retarding lawn weed seed germination. And once lawn weed seeds sprout, they don't have as much sunlight as they need for hardy growth.
Learn how to mow at the right height in this video:
The chart below shows the range of cutting heights depending on the grass type. If you don't know your grass type, take a plug of turf to a garden center and ask the staff to help with the identification.
For a lush lawn, you need the right fertilizer. Learn the pros and cons of liquid lawn fertilizer here.
It's also important to mow your grass when it needs it. That's when the grass is one-third above the ideal cutting height. Depending on the weather conditions and the time of year, that can mean mowing every week or two, or every four or five days. Keeping the height in check also means you're clipping off weed seed heads before they can mature and seed your lawn.

How to Get Rid of Weeds Strategy 2: To find the best weed killer for lawns, you need to know what you're dealing with
Family HandymanPhoto 1: Broadleaf weeds
Broadleaf weeds include any weed that has leaves, such as dandelions, clover and creeping Charlie (ground ivy).
Photo 2: Perennial grassy weeds
Perennial grassy weeds like quack grass go dormant through the winter along with your grass only to reemerge in the spring. They spread through the roots and seeds.
Family HandymanPhoto 3: Annual grassy weeds
Annual grassy weeds like crab grass reseed themselves near the end of the growing season and then die. The seeds germinate the following spring to grow new plants.
To find the best weed killer, you need to know what you're dealing with. Before you start any lawn weed control program, you need to determine which of the three types of weeds you're controlling. Each requires unique products and application methods. Some treatments are very time sensitive, while others can be done anytime during the growing season. Plus: Learn how to get rid of weeds in flower beds here.
How to Get Rid of Weeds Strategy 3: Control broadleaf lawn weeds with the least amount of herbicide possible
Photo 1: Spot-kill lawn weeds with a small pressure sprayer
Instead, the best weed killer for lawns in this particular situation is to spot-treat the weeds with a small, trigger-controlled, pump-up pressure sprayer. Find the best weed killer spray among the top 40 lawn care products you need.

Photo 3: Use a dial sprayer when lawn weeds are out of control
A dial sprayer connected to a garden hose kills weeds over a wide area.
Photo 3A: Close-up of dial sprayer
Add herbicide, set the dial to the desired concentration and turn on the garden hose.
The key to controlling broadleaf weeds is to use a broadleaf weed killer herbicide (see "Getting the Most from Broadleaf Weed Killer," below) and distribute it with the smallest applicator necessary to do the job. That'll not only save time and money but also keep you from needlessly introducing chemicals into the environment.
Spot-kill weeds with a small pressure sprayer
No matter how lush and healthy your lawn is, a few isolated weeds will pop up. That doesn't call for whole-yard treatment. Instead, the best weed killer for this situation is to spot-treat the weeds with a small, trigger- controlled, pump-up pressure sprayer (Photo 1). After pouring in the diluted herbicide, you pump up the pressure with a little plunger and then pull the trigger to release the spray right on the culprits.
Treat weed patches with a 1- or 2-gallon tank sprayer
Patches or clumps of weeds are best treated with a standard 1- or 2-gallon tank sprayer (Photo 2). After spraying, triple-rinse the tank with water. With each rinse, pump up some pressure and flush out the wand,
Use a dial sprayer when lawn weeds are out of control
If your whole lawn is filled with weeds, it calls for draconian measures, and a dial sprayer attached to your garden hose is the best weed killer for this situation (Photo 3). It's fast and efficient. It's just a matter of adding concentrated broadleaf killer to the pot, and setting the dial at the top to the mixture called for on the herbicide container—for example, 2-1/2 tablespoons per gallon of water. Then hook up the garden hose and apply an even treatment to the weedy areas. Clear the yard of toys, furniture and anything else that can get contaminated by overspray. And be sure to protect your flowers and bushes with plastic sheeting or cardboard. Remember that broadleaf killers will kill or harm anything with leaves—including your flowerbed.
Travis Larson, an editor for The Family Handyman, will show you how to apply concentrated broadleaf herbicide to kill weeds in your yard in our video tutorial.
How to Get Rid of Weeds Strategy 4: Kill perennial grassy weeds one by one
Use a non-selective plant killer
Individually coat weeds with a glove dipped in herbicide solution. Note the protective rubber glove under the cloth glove.
Quack grass is the widest spread example of a perennial grass that comes back year after year just like your lawn. They spread through seeds and extensive underground root systems and are unaffected by broadleaf killers. Pulling grassy weeds only gets some of the roots, and the remaining ones will quickly sprout new plants. The only effective solution is to use a "nonselective" plant killer like Super Kills-All or Roundup. You can apply non-selective killers with sprayers, but you'll kill everything in the area, including your lawn and any other nearby plants. The best way to kill these weeds while protecting surrounding plants is by wiping the grass blades with the non-selective herbicide. Wear a cheap cloth glove over a plastic or rubber chemically resistant (they're labeled as such) glove to protect your skin. Dip your gloved hand into the herbicide and then simply grab the blades near the base and pull the herbicide over the grass blades. Don't worry about coating every single blade. The chemical will absorb into the plant, make its way down to the roots and kill the entire plant. Most will die in a few days, but survivors may need more treatments.
How to Get Rid of Weeds Strategy 5: Control crab grass with a 'crab grass preventer' in the spring
Photo 1: Spreading crab grass preventer
Spread a pre-emergence preventer in the spring to keep seeds from germinating.
Photo 2: Crabgrass preventer
Preventers usually come as granules that you put on the lawn with a spreader.
Photo 3: Post-emergence killer
Post-emergence killers may require several applications to work effectively.
Crab grass is the best example of an annual weedy grass. It doesn't over-winter like perennial weeds. Instead, it dies at the end of the growing season and depends on producing thousands of seeds to propagate new clumps in the spring.
The best weed killer to keep crab grass under control is to apply a crab grass preventer between the first and third mowings in the spring. Timing is everything. The treatment prevents the seeds from germinating. If you wait too long, the seeds will sprout. Apply too early and the preventer will dissipate and late germinating seeds
will sprout.
Make notes in the fall about where your crab grass seems to thrive. That, of course, is where the seeds are concentrated, so you don't need to treat the whole lawn, just the areas that are infested. Crab grass loves areas where the ground warms quickest, especially near driveways or sidewalks where the asphalt or concrete helps warm the soil. That's the profile of most other annual grassy weeds too. They're treated much the same way as crab grass, but read the directions on preventer bags to find one that'll be effective for the annual weeds you want to eliminate.
Once crab grass shows up in your lawn, you have three options:
- Hand-pull the clumps to prevent the plant from reseeding itself. If that leaves bare spots in your lawn, rough up the ground and reseed the patch. Keep it moist and let the grass grow. The grass will grow faster than the underlying crab grass seeds and may become lush enough to shade and prevent them from sprouting next spring.
- Let the crab grass go until the following spring and then use a preventer at the right time. Crab grass dies completely in late fall.
- Treat clumps with a post-emergence crab grass killer. These treatments are specially formulated to not harm your lawn grass. They're most effective on younger plants and may take two or more treatments in four- to seven-day intervals to completely kill the crab grass. Once seed heads form in the late summer or fall, post-emergence killers won't work and you're better off waiting until spring and then treating the seeds with preventer or hand pulling.
How to Get Rid of Weeds Strategy 6: Don't fight lawn weeds where grass won't grow
Try mulch, not grass
Mulch and planting beds are often better for shady areas and around trees where grass won't grow well.
Poor light or soil conditions can make it all but impossible to grow grass in some areas. If you've tried more than once to nurture grass in an area and failed, it might be time to throw in the towel and treat the area with a landscaping alternative. The obvious choices are stone, mulch and attractive ground cover plants that tolerate the same conditions grass can't handle. Get rid of weeds with a nonselective herbicide (re-treat survivors after 10 days). The herbicide will break down within two weeks and the ground will be safe for new plants. If you're covering the ground with a decorative material like stone or mulch, consider laying a lawn weed control fabric on the ground first to keep weeds from getting another foothold.
Getting the Most from Broadleaf Weed Killers
Broadleaf weed killer herbicides are extremely effective, provided they're used according to the directions on the container. Pay particular attention to the moisture, temperature and wind limitations. Most liquid herbicides only work in temperatures between 65 and 85 degrees F. At higher temperatures, the chemicals vaporize before the weeds can absorb them. And at lower temperatures, the weeds aren't growing fast enough to absorb the chemicals. Here are some general guidelines to help you get the most from the products:
- Buy concentrated formulas. They're far cheaper than premixed types.
- Mix only what you need, and use it within three days of mixing. Once mixed with water, herbicides lose their effectiveness in a very short time.
- Store herbicides in a cool place and protect them from freezing. They'll stay effective for a long time.
- Protect decorative plants with plastic or cardboard during lawn weed control treatments. Even just a little overspray can damage or kill your plants.
- Some lawn grasses, especially "warm weather" ones found in the Sun Belt, can be harmed or even killed by broadleaf herbicides. Be sure to read the label to find out which grass types are vulnerable.
- Apply when grass is slightly damp or dry, and avoid applying during hot weather or high humidity conditions. For best results, apply in the morning or early evening.
- Some formulas call for application when there's no rain in the forecast for 24 to 48 hours.
- Wear socks, shoes, long pants, a long-sleeve shirt, gloves and glasses to keep the liquid off your skin and out of your eyes.
- Keep pets and kids off grass for 48 hours after application, then water the area well to rinse, and let it dry.
- To keep safe, read the label for special warnings about toxicity.

Editor's Note: Robert W. Baird & Co. conducted a survey of 125 RV dealers to assess recent trends during the first quarter. The following offers a summary of the results.
Retail mixed as early spring drives traffic. Traffic was strong as mild winter drove customers to the lot earlier. Retail was mixed, however, with double-digit growth in towables muted by motorhome declines. Inventory is healthy, with fewer dealers concerned about stocking levels heading into the selling season.
• Mild winter drives traffic. Traffic was strong throughout Q1, according to dealers, supported by a milder winter and early start to spring. Retail remained mixed, with growth in towables (+10-12%) and declines (-2-4%) in motorhomes.
• Inventory remains lean. Dealers report 103 days of towable inventory (down from 109 days last year) and 102 days of motorhome inventory (down from 118 last year). Recall, many dealers were concerned with inventory heading into 2012, having stocked up during the early fall promotions. Currently, just 18% of motorhome dealers and 26% of towable dealers consider inventory "too high."
• Dealer sentiment improving. Sentiment among dealers improved again, hitting 61 in our survey of current conditions (50 is neutral) – the highest reading in six years of tracking the metric. The improved attitude is probably attributable to better consumer confidence, lower unemployment and a good start to the season, supported by better weather.
• Financing stable. Credit availability is largely unchanged. Customers with good credit scores don't have trouble obtaining financing, but higher credit risks are still difficult to get financed. Many dealers are concerned about wholesale financing, and are frustrated with lack of availability and competition.
• Outlook. The RV stocks ran up in late 2011 and early 2012, but have pulled back in recent days as part of a broader market correction.
Note: Contact your Baird representative for a complete copy of the 40-page dealer survey.

Experts in movement disorders and dementia have long debated the relationship between dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and Parkinson's disease with dementia (PDD). But a new consensus was recently published in Neurology, the journal of the American Academy of Neurology that should ultimately translate into increased research and knowledge for Lewy body dementias. Led by Dr. Carol Lippa (chair of LBDA's Scientific Advisory Council) and international experts in PD and DLB, the consensus came out of deliberations held after the 2006 landmark conference "PDD/DLB at a Crossroad" in Washington, DC.
As the second most common type of dementia behind Alzheimer's disease, DLB shares numerous clinical and biological features with PDD. In fact, upon autopsy, the two disorders are difficult to distinguish without accompanying clinical records that document the course of the disorder. As there is no principal symptom that clearly differentiates PDD from DLB, clinicians and researchers have been using the common convention of the "one year rule". This rule indicates that when the motor symptoms begin more than a year before dementia, a diagnosis of PDD is given. When these two symptoms begin within the same year or if the motor symptoms start after the cognitive changes, then a diagnosis of DLB is given.
Research from autopsied brains of patients with DLB, PDD and Parkinson's disease without dementia (PD) has shown distinctive microscopic abnormalities inside nerve cells (neurons) called Lewy bodies, whose main component is a protein called alpha-synuclein. As a result, the new consensus among experts is to refer to all three disorders as "Lewy body disorders." By classifying multiple conditions into a single group, research can be more easily facilitated due to the similarities in the biology of the conditions. In a clinical setting, particularly when dementia is evident, patients and families may find it convenient to use the term PDD if motor symptoms occur first and DLB if cognitive symptoms occur first or concurrently, according the one year rule. However, in a research setting, the recommended term for encompassing both PDD and DLB is "Lewy body dementias."
Experts also agree that genetic factors play a role in PD, PDD and DLB, although the extent of the role currently only explains a small proportion of cases. Moreover, unlike other neurological conditions such as Huntington's disease, there is no clearly defined, testable genetic abnormality that can accurately predict the development of, or distinguish between PDD and DLB.
Medical imaging technologies such as MRI and PET may be useful in distinguishing DLB and PDD from other neurodegenerative disorders. However, current imaging research has not led to improved ability to discriminate between PDD and DLB.
The new consensus establishes goals for improving the understanding and treatment of PDD and DLB. This includes continued collaboration between clinicians and researchers focusing on motor and cognitive abnormalities, better identifying the differences in the brain between the two groups, and finding new treatment options. Additional research designed to shed further light on the relationship between PDD and DLB includes identifying genetic and environmental risk factors that make a person susceptible to the disease, and improving our understanding of the biological mechanisms responsible so that preventative or curative therapies can be developed.

Lynn Hirschberg: Did you act when you were a child? Were you in school plays?
Clive Owen: I played the Artful Dodger in Oliver! when I was about 13. It was the musical version. I didn't sing that well, but I gave it a go. I was just given the part, thrown into it, and I came out and said, "I have to do this. I've got to be an actor." I was unwavering from that moment on.
You did youth theater in your hometown, the industrial city of Coventry, in England, and then you auditioned for RADA, the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.
I'd stopped acting a bit, and I'd been unemployed for a couple of years, and I suddenly realized, If I don't get into a drama school, it ain't gonna happen. So I only applied to the one—and that was RADA. You audition, and they choose only 18 people a year. Getting into RADA for a kid like me, coming from where I came from, was the beginning of the whole thing, really.
At RADA, they concentrate solely on theater. They are almost anti-television and film.
After three years there, I still had no idea what a movie set looked like. If you got a part in a TV show, it was completely alien. But then, I had no burning ambition to get into films or TV. All I wanted to do was plays.
You met your wife, Sarah-Jane Fenton, while acting in a play.
Yes. After drama school I did a seven-month tour of Europe performing in Romeo and Juliet. I played Romeo. I was at the first rehearsal, thinking, I wonder what Juliet is going to be like, and she came in. She had a corduroy jacket on and was carrying a pile of secondhand books, and her glasses were falling off. I kind of fell in love at that moment.
Wow! Did people think you had enormous chemistry in the love scenes?
When we did the big balcony scene, I always thought we had this amazing connection. Much later, she admitted to me she couldn't even see me because she's so shortsighted, and she didn't wear her glasses onstage [laughs]. At the time, I didn't think it would be a great idea if Romeo and Juliet got together, so we didn't do anything about our relationship until halfway through the run. We finally got together in Belfast, and now we have two daughters.
The first time I saw you was in Croupier—a fantastic movie—in which you play a somewhat mysterious, utterly compelling man who works in a private casino in London. Despite your platinum hair, you were dark in a very attractive way. That ability to portray a mix of toughness and sexuality became a kind of Clive Owen hallmark—in Closer, for which you were nominated for an Academy Award, you were an irresistible bad boy.
Well, I was in the play version of Closer too, and when we did the play, people walked out almost every night [laughs]. They seemed to find me repellent.
Don't be ridiculous. Closer was full of intense sex scenes—and so is Hemingway & Gellhorn, your movie for HBO, which airs May 28. Do you prefer doing sex scenes or scenes in which you die?
It's much harder to do a death scene. You've got to do it convincingly, and it's a huge thing to die [laughs]. Sex scenes are only hard if there's no narrative conveyed through the sex scene. In the Hemingway film, the sex scenes have a story going through them. It's part of who these people are and what they are.
In the movie, the aspiring journalist Martha Gellhorn meets Ernest Hemingway—who is married—in Key West in 1936. As they begin their affair, he encourages her to become a war correspondent. They eventually marry, and for four tempestuous years travel the world in search of war zones. Did you know about Hemingway before you started this project?
As a writer, he doesn't have the same impact in England as he does in America. I spent five, six months doing research. I went to his house outside Havana, Cuba. The incredible thing about the house, which his wife donated to the Cuban government, is that the moment he died, they locked the place down. They don't usually let people inside, but they set it up for me. I got in Hemingway's home, and everything is still there. His clothes are in the closet. His books. His typewriters. His coats are still hanging in the closet just as he left them.
Did you try them on? Did you read his books?
Everything! I tried on his boots. I don't think I've ever done anywhere near as much research for any part. It was hugely enjoyable to walk around hearing Hemingway's voice in my head.
I liked the way you-as-Hemingway wrote. He typed standing up, his typewriter placed on a tall chest of drawers. And he attacked the keys with a great intensity.
We wanted the writing to look virile. After writing a page, Hemingway would let it float to the ground. He never crumpled pages—he believed that if you crumpled them, you'd be insane in a year. He could also drink all night—legendary amounts—and then every morning at 6, he'd be up and would write for six hours straight. After that, he'd start drinking again.
And you did the same?
Absolutely! [Laughs.] Research!
Lynn Hirschberg: In Hemingway & Gellhorn, you play Martha Gellhorn, the war correspondent. The film chronicles her relationship with Ernest Hemingway, which was often its own particular battlefield. What attracted you to this project?
Nicole Kidman: I knew nothing about Martha, but I've always been drawn to unique women who are willing to take on the world. The exciting thing about this film is that you see her discovering her nature. At the beginning, she's a lot of talk. She knows that she's either got to get her hands dirty and become what she pretends to be or she's a fraud. In the end, Gellhorn out-Hemingways Hemingway.
Clive Owen said that Hemingway is not popular in England. Was he known in Australia, where you grew up?
Well, not to contradict a man [laughs], but Hemingway is big everywhere. Was I aware of him in the same way I studied Henry James? Or the Brontë sisters? No. But that was probably because he didn't interest me as much.
What was the first movie you remember seeing?
The Wizard of Oz. The Wicked Witch of the West had the biggest impact on me. When the striped stockings disappeared under the house, I wanted to become an actor.
You didn't long to play Dorothy?
No—I was always interested in the character roles. I thought the witch was much more fascinating than Dorothy.
You started acting when you were very young. What was your first part?
I auditioned for the role of an angel in the Nativity play at school. I didn't get it. I auditioned for Mary; didn't get it. So I made up the character of the sheep who sat next to Baby Jesus. I wore a little calico sort of head thing that my mom made. I bleated through the whole thing and got my first laugh. And that was it: I was hooked.
Did your mother support your career?
She always believed in me, but she's tough on me too. She's lived a life where she made a lot of compromises. She would have loved to be a doctor, but she didn't come from the generation of women where she could go and be a doctor. She became a nurse instead. Not that there's anything wrong with being a nurse, but she wanted to be a doctor. Until I won the Academy Award [for The Hours], I was kind of pursuing things to please her. I've really tried to sever that.
Does she like most of your movies?
She likes The Hours. And Moulin Rouge. She didn't like Fur, but she said she's going to rewatch it.
Fur was inspired by the work and life of the photographer Diane Arbus. In the movie, Robert Downey Jr. plays a man completely covered in hair.
My character shaves him. I am the only person who has ever gotten to shave Robert Downey Jr. naked. Nobody else can say that—not even his wife!
You and Downey had a sweet sex scene. You are one of the few actresses who seem comfortable with nudity.
I don't mind being naked. Maybe as I get older, and now after having had a baby, it might be different, but I enjoy not letting my issues get in the way of a performance. Once I start putting all my little insecurities in my mind, I'm not actually acting. Then it's about me—and it should never be about me. It should be about the character.
In the beginning of Hemingway & Gellhorn, your character says, "I was probably the worst bed partner on five continents." And yet, in the rest of the film, she and Hemingway have immense sexual heat: They are constantly going at it.
The sex was very important in that relationship because that's the way she cuts Hemingway off. When Gellhorn says, "I don't like sex," it's her way of saying, "I'm not based in sexuality; Hemingway didn't have power over me. That's not where I came from."
Having said that, the sexual attraction between them was powerful. I kept asking Phil Kaufman, the director, "Is all this sex important for the story?" I wanted to make sure he wasn't just getting off. But these were two people who could make love when a building was falling down around them. They had passion.
Gellhorn was also very strong-willed. As an actress, do you need to have that kind of toughness in your life?
My husband [country singer Keith Urban] says I'm raw. He thinks the world is not a great place for me because he fears that I'll be hurt. He says, "That's my job: I'll protect you."
Your husband just had throat surgery to repair damaged vocal cords. He couldn't speak for three weeks. What was that like?
Three weeks of no sound—no laughing, no coughing, no sneezing, nothing. He could write things down, and he would scribble away. You can still fight when someone can't talk. When he disagreed with me, he would write, "This is unacceptable." [Laughs.]
Was it strange to not talk?
All of those things make you closer. It was sort of profound: to go without his voice, and then to finally hear his voice. What if he sounded different? I was there for his first words, and then we cried. How many people experience their husband's first words? If that doesn't bring you closer, you're not breathing.

Tory Miller, Colorado forward, reprimanded by Pac-12 for biting
After Tory Miller bit an Air Force player Wednesday, the Pac-12 has reprimanded the Colorado Buffaloes sophomore for his actions.
Miller was charged with a flagrant 2 dead ball technical four and ejected from the game after biting Falcons' Hayden Graham in the shoulder.
"Regardless of Mr. Miller's frustration and emotion, such behavior is unacceptable and he is being appropriately reprimanded," Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott said in a news release.
Miller released a statement for his actions: "I would like to apologize for my actions during the Air Force game. I would like to apologize to Hayden Graham, Air Force, my teammates and fans. It was a heat of the moment thing. I'm an emotional player, but I let my emotions get the best of me.

It would be great to have a preview of images in the ASL requesters. For example, when someone tries to select a backdrop, and he is in a folder with wallpapers, it would be super great to have a small thumb image at the right of the ASL window to show the clicked image.
Do you believe that something like that is doable?

Google Apps Script provides more than 30 built-in services for interacting with
user data, other Google systems, and external systems. These services are
provided as global objects akin to JavaScript's standard
object. For example, just as
Math offers methods like
random() and
constants like
PI, Apps Script's
Spreadsheet service offers methods like
classes (child objects) like
Range, and enums like
The reference documentation for services that control G Suite products are collected in the "G Suite Services" section under the "Reference" header in the sidebar of this site. Utility services (for things like creating user interfaces, parsing XML, or writing log data) are collected in the "Script Services" section.
Using autocomplete
The script editor provides a "content assist" feature, more commonly called "autocomplete," which reveals the global objects as well as methods and enums that are valid in the script's current context. To show autocomplete suggestions, select the menu item Edit > Content assist or press Ctrl+Space. Autocomplete suggestions also appear automatically whenever you type a period after a global object, enum, or method call that returns an Apps Script class. For example:
- If you click on a blank line in the script editor and activate autocomplete, you will see a list of the global objects.
- If you type the full name of a global object or select one from autocomplete,
then type
.(a period), you will see all methods and enums for that class.
- If you type a few characters and activate autocomplete, you will see all valid suggestions that begin with those characters.
Understanding global objects
Each service provides at least one global (top-level) object; for example,
the Gmail service is accessed solely from
GmailApp object. Some services
provide multiple global objects; for example, the
Base service includes four global objects:
MimeType, and
Calling methods
The global objects of nearly all built-in or advanced services include methods that return data or an Apps Script class. Scripts make method calls in this format:
GlobalObjectName.methodName(argument1, argument2, ..., argumentN);
For example, a script can send an email by calling the
sendEmail(recipient, subject, body)
method of the Gmail service like so:
GmailApp.sendEmail('firstname.lastname@example.com', 'Subject line', 'This is the body.');
If a method returns another Apps Script class, you can chain method calls on one
line. (Return types are shown both in autocomplete and in a method's reference
documentation.) For example, the method
returns a
Document; thus, the
following two sections of code are equivalent:
var doc = DocumentApp.create('New document');
var body = doc.getBody();
body.appendParagraph('New paragraph.');
// Same result as above.
DocumentApp.create('New document').getBody().appendParagraph('New paragraph.');
Accessing child classes
Every service includes one or more child classes that cannot be accessed from
the top level as a global object can. You cannot use the
new keyword to
construct these classes, as you can with standard JavaScript classes like
you can only access a child class by calling a method that returns it. If you're
not sure how to access a certain class, visit the root page for the service's
reference documentation and look for a method that returns the class you want.
Dealing with interfaces
A handful of services include special classes that are labeled as "interfaces"
in the reference documentation. These are generic classes used as return types
for methods that cannot determine the precise type in advance; for example,
the Document service method
returns a generic
Element object.
Element is an interface that represents some other class, possibly a
Paragraph or
Table. Interface objects are rarely
useful on their own; instead, you usually want to call a method like
to cast the object back to a precise class.
Working with enums
Most services include a few enums (enumerated types) of named values. For
example, the Drive service uses the enums
Access and
Permission to determine which users
have access to a file or folder. In almost all cases, you access these enums
from the global object. For example, a call to the method
Folder.setSharing(accessType, permissionType)
looks like this:
// Creates a folder that anyone on the Internet can read from and write to. (Domain administrators can
// prohibit this setting for G Suite users.)
var folder = DriveApp.createFolder('Shared Folder');
folder.setSharing(DriveApp.Access.ANYONE, DriveApp.Permission.EDIT);
Basic JavaScript features
Apps Script is based on
JavaScript 1.6,
plus a few features from
1.7 and
Many basic JavaScript features are thus available in addition to the built-in
and advanced Google services: you can
use common objects like
and so forth,
as well as the
Math and
global objects. However, because Apps Script code runs on Google's servers (not
client-side, except for HTML-service pages),
browser-based features like DOM manipulation or the
Window API are not

Why The Newspaper Paywall Will Fail
from the it-prevents-real-growth deptIt's no secret that we think newspaper paywalls are a massive disaster in waiting. The number of folks actually willing to pay is a lot smaller than many in the newspaper industry think, and the papers' failure to recognize that they need to add more value rather than take it away by locking up their content pretty much guarantees the widespread failure of the plan. But Kevin Kelleher, over at The Big Money has a nice article that sums up exactly why paywalls will fail:
For the sake of argument, let's say that news sites are routinely charging readers in five years. By then, the economy may be substantially healthier than now, and advertisers will be looking for sites with large, loyal readerships to sell their ads on. But that won't include newspapers. They'll be catering to that 10 percent of their online audience willing to subscribe. The rest of the Web will have long stopped linking to--and talking about--their stories. The dollars will flow right past the newspapers' pay walls. And then they'll really be sorry.And that's assuming 10% are willing to pay, which strikes me as high already. One other quibble with Kelleher's piece: he suggests that newspapers stood a better chance if they started trying to charge in 1994, ignoring the fact that many newspapers have tried to put up paywalls in the intervening years, and nearly all of them (with a very small number of high profile exceptions) have discovered that they don't work. Whether it's 1994, 2009 or 2024, it doesn't really matter. The future of online news is not behind a paywall.

Pistol-Packing Pol Eyes Governorship
Assemblyman Tim Donnelly, arrested last year after nearly carrying a loaded gun aboard a jet, wants to be California's next governor.
It's not political satire. But it has all the elements.
Assemblyman Tim Donnelly, R-Twin Peaks, is known mainly for his outspoken criticism of illegal immigrants, his former membership in the Minuteman Project, and his arrest last year at a Southern California airport for stashing a loaded handgun in his luggage.
On Wednesday, Ventura Star Capitol reporter Timm Herdt was first to unearth the news that Donnelly has also opened an exploratory committee to run for governor in 2014. That sparked a rush of stories by other Capitol reporters.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
It certainly spiced up an otherwise quiet day in Sacramento.
In the aftermath of an election year that proved to be disastrous for the Republican Party in California, Donnelly would appear to be the last person the GOP would pick as its standard-bearer in the next election cycle. The party's registration has already dipped below 30 percent, and it suffered enough losses to hand Democrats their first two-thirds supermajority in the legislature in more than a century.
The Republicans had particular difficulty attracting Latino voters this year.
But Donnelly, in an interview posted on a conservative website, said he is motivated to run because "There's nobody out there who is fighting for us."
Donnelly, first elected to the Assembly two years ago, was a member of the Minuteman Project, a citizens group formed to patrol the U.S.-Mexico border. He tried and failed this year to roll back a new law that gives a college tuition break to undocumented immigrant students.
Donnelly made headlines late last year when he was arrested at Ontario International Airport after officers discovered a loaded handgun in his carry-on luggage as he prepared to board a flight to Sacramento. He said he had forgotten about the weapon, had his charges reduced to misdemeanors, and was given three-years probation.
News of Donnelly's interest in the governorship was, of course, an immediate source of delight for Democrats. Democratic consultant Jason Kinney proclaimed, via Twitter, that he was "giddy" at the prospect of Donnelly's candidacy.
Thoughtful Republicans, both in Sacramento and in Washington, are talking of the need to rebuild their party by changing their message on immigration and nurturing a moderate image.
Donnelly and his followers didn't get that memo. If he's serious about his candidacy, for those hoping to broaden the party's appeal, it adds up to a lump of coal in the GOP's Christmas stocking.

Senior co-captain Tony Grillo finished tied for sixth at the tournament (Harvard Athletic Communications).
By: Kevin McCarthy '14
The Harvard Men's Golf Team started off their spring tournament season by playing the Princeton Invitational at the Springdale Golf Club in Princeton, New Jersey. Springdale Golf Club is a beautiful Par 71, 6380 yard layout that borders some portions of Princeton University's picturesque campus. The course is primarily composed of short doglegs with difficult greens that need to be managed strategically. While playing a practice round on Friday afternoon, the Crimson mapped out a plan of attack to take advantage of all birdie opportunities during the 54-hole tournament. After a long day of travel and practicing, the team retired to their hotel to get some much needed rest before 36 holes of play on Saturday.
During the first round of the tournament, the Crimson played fairly well in the fantastic 75 degree weather. Captain Tony Grillo ('12) lead the way with a blistering 4-under round of 67 that put him at the top of the leaderboard. Other scores for the Crimson included 71 for Mark Pollak ('12), 75 for Theo Lederhausen ('14), 76 for Akash Mirchandani ('15), 78 for Michael Lai ('14), and 74 for Kevin McCarthy ('14) who was playing as an individual. After a quick lunch between rounds, the team headed back out onto the course for their second 18 holes.
On Sunday, the final round of the tournament was played in unseasonably warm conditions as temperatures reached 85 degrees. Eager to make a charge to win, the Crimson got off to a hot start with Akash Mirchandani ('15) being 3-under par through his first seven holes. However, the difficult Springdale Golf Club greens eventually got the best of the Crimson, leading to disappointingly average scores for the team. Michael Lai ('14) lead the way again by shooting an even par round of 71 in which his stellar short game saved him a considerable number of strokes. Other scores for the Crimson included a solid round of 72 from Akash Mirchandani ('15), a 74 from Mark Pollak ('12), a 75 from Tony Grillo ('12), a 76 from Theo Lederhausen ('14), and a 74 from Kevin McCarthy ('14). Harvard finished 5th in the tournament, as Yale took home first place with a score of 858.
The Princeton Invitational offered a glimpse of just how competitive the Ivy League Championship will be in a few weeks as all 8 teams played to a narrow range of 3-round scores.
The hard work of Coach Green of Princeton and all of the staff at Springdale Golf Club is greatly appreciated as the event was wonderfully organized and operated in a truly professional manner. The Crimson will play their second tournament of the spring next weekend at the Century Intercollegiate.

Q: I have a leak in my liner. How do I repair it?
Catherine – Ballwin, MO
A: Dropping water levels and wet patches appearing around your pond indicate one thing: a leaky liner. Don't worry. It doesn't mean you need to rebuild your water garden from the ground up. You just have to patch the leak.
Your repair process starts with determining the size of the leak. Smaller holes can simply be patched; larger punctures or multiple tears need a bit more attention. Here's what we recommend based on the leak size.
For Smaller Holes …
If you have a small hole in your liner that's 5 inches or less, you can use the EPDM Pond Liner Patch Kit. It contains everything you'll need to fix minor tears or holes, including a EPDM rubber patch, solvent wipe, a scrub sponge, seam roller and pair of disposable gloves.
To begin, make sure the surface is both clean and dry. If necessary, relocate your fish in a holding tank while prepping the liner and performing your repair. After the patch is in place, you can top off your pond's water level, and acclimate and return your fish to their home.
For Tears or Punctures …
To repair smaller tears or punctures without draining your pond, you can use Underwater Pond Sealer. Remember, however, that it has to be beaded on, not smeared on, because it's a sealer, not an adhesive. When used as directed, it'll start to be tacky in two to three hours, and fully cured in 48 hours. The sealer performs best in water that's 60° Fahrenheit.
For best results, clean the surface and make sure it's free of grease and algae. If necessary, relocate your fish in a holding tank while allowing the repaired area to fully cure.
Then place sealer directly onto the surface you wish to bond/seal. Put two 5mm diameter beads of sealer 100mm apart on the overlap. Gently run your fingers over the line to make sure the sealer has connected both pieces of liner. Do not press it flat, and don't be tempted to pull it apart to see if it has stuck! Allow the sealer to fully cure before returning your fish to the pond.
For Multiple Tears or Large Punctures …
Larger punctures of multiple tears will require some work. You'll need to put your fish in a holding tank, drain the pond and adhere a new piece of liner to the existing one. Here's what you'll need and how the process should go:
First, you'll need to purchase a liner seaming kit, a new piece of liner and have some protective gloves on hand. After you've repaired the tears and ensured that the adhesive had done its job, refill your pond, and acclimate and return your fish to their home.
Good luck repairing your leaky liner!

Chinese bootleggers have been making cheap knockoffs of Apple products for years, but now the crooks have upped their game. Instead of trying to peddle their fake iPads and iPhones from the back of a Chinese white van, entire fake Apple Stores are starting to pop up around the country.
An American couple living in Kunming simply stumbled across one after they returned from a two month trip. The place is so realistic, that at first they placed bets as to whether it might actually be the genuine article.
The first problem is that Kunming is a remote city way off the beaten path, hundreds of miles from the only genuine Apple Stores in China over in Beijing and Shanghai. Then they noticed that the sign said "Apple Store" instead of having just an Apple logo. Inside, the store was staffed with the usual blue shirt wearing "geniuses," and had a kind of low-rent version of the Apple Store style and layout. Even when they quizzed the staff, everyone seemed to genuinely believe that they were really working for Apple.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Best of all, when they wandered a bit more around town, they discovered two more "Apple Stores" within a few blocks of the first one. Well, one was actually an "Apple Stoer" as you can see in the pictures.
One thing that isn't clear, is whether the products they are selling are genuine stuff that just happened to fall off the back of an Apple cart, or perhaps they are also knockoffs.
So, how long before Steve Jobs sends the heavies around to deal with this one?
