Questions that need answers
Jason Gregor
October 31 2008 06:46PM
The MacBlender is out again, although this time it's on low rather than high. At practice this morning the lines were the same as the third period in Nashville.
Penner – Horcoff – Hemsky Nilsson – Cogliano – Gagner Moreau – Pisani – Cole MacIntyre – Brodziak– Pouliot
MacTavish has to be wondering what is going on with this team.
We wonder about much more than that...
Why has Gagner, who is still playing 18 minutes a night, been so ineffective offensively?
Why can't the Oilers win a key draw in their own zone?
Why can they only score in the second period? They've only tickled the twine three times in the first and third periods this season. They have 12 goals during the middle frame.
Did Dustin Penner scare the hands out of his teammates in Jasper?
Will Ales Hemsky ever become a great player? Not just a talented player, but become one who can lead and carry a team?
Do the Oiler forwards realize that hitting is allowed? Outside of Cole (20) and Moreau (22) none of them have more than seven.
MacIntyre: 7 Stortini: 7 Nilsson: 6 Brodziak: 5 Penner: 5 Cogliano: 4 Hemsky: 4 Pisani: 4 Pouliot: 3 Gagner: 2 Horcoff: 1
One hit in nine games for Horcoff; he should have more just by accidentally running into the opposition.
If they aren't scoring shouldn't they at least be physical?
I wonder if any girls are dressing up as Selene from Underworld tonight (A good thought is required now and then).
How long before Steve Tambellini has to shake things up?
Will MacTavish bench one of his top players to send a message? If so, who is the most (least?) worthy?
Who would have thought the Oilers would miss Reasoner or Stoll as much as they do?
Why is Roloson wearing Fuhr's retro gear while Garon is honouring Ranford? shouldn't it be the other way around based on their glove hands?
If some of these questions don't get answered soon, the Oilers will have to make a major move before they get home.

I wonder how long Horcs will be the lock on the Nunber one line. They have to break up Hemmer and Horcs if they don't start producing. I know it's hemmers preference to play with Horcoff but they aren't scoring goals.
There is an old adage around hockey that sometimes you win games when are you playing badly and sometimes you loose games when you are playing well. It is my opinion that although the record says differently, the Oilers have actually gotten better as time has passed. To me the bottom was that brutal preseason game at home against Calgary. There is no way that they should have been 4-0 after 4 games. At best they should have been 1-3. On the other hand, the 0-4-1 in the next five games should have been 2-2-1. They outplayed Vancouver until Cole got tossed, they played even or better with Boston and outplayed Nashville. Last night could very well have been a 6-2 game with the great scoring chances they had. I still pick this team to win the division with Mac T as the coach.!!!
October 31 2008, 07:55PM
Maybe the last 9 games were our Halloween trick or treats. The treat? 4-0, the trick losing the next five...oh you Dustin Penner always the prankster!
October 31 2008, 08:00PM
Hey home town boy Darryl Sydor is available. Could be like Strudwick, Veteran hometown guy looking to make a good impression and have a great final few seasons playing with the team he grew up watching. He knows how to move the puck and is bigger than Steve Staios. Just a thought.
October 31 2008, 08:22PM
ummm apparently I am the only one without Halloween plans......(sigh).....happy halloween.....maybe I should make some real friends....or get a job...or something.....(sigh)
I'd say, 7 hits for MacIntyre isn't all that bad considering the ice time he's getting...
October 31 2008, 08:56PM
I had wondered the same about the Fuhr Ranford thing. My 1st thought was.. "What the hell?" I mean, it only makes sense. Right? Lefty lefty, righty righty.
But... Fuhr was the #1 for the Oilers and Ranford (God bless him *** My fav goalie of all time***) was lucky enough that Fuhr went down and was able to step in and be the man.
SOooooo.... Garon is our #1 goalie = Fuhr and Roli is the lucky backup (Ranford) that is waiting for his chance again.
the end
October 31 2008, 08:59PM
Oh yeah...
When the blender was in full speed a game ago he came up with a line that i thought was grrrrreat. (Think Tony the Tiger)
Nilsson Gagner Hemsky
This is quite possibly the 1st line in a year or two. But why not try it now?
October 31 2008, 09:00PM
the end.
please send these stats on to MacT as he clearly hasn't seen them. That is disturbing. 1 hit for Horcs????? wow. Thats all there is to say. wow.
Can you ask MacT why he continues to let 34 take draws and also why he's ignoring the fact that 78 and 34 have some real chem?
I'm heartened that 27 is back with 83-10 and I don't mind the kids staying together but 34 should not be a pivot and if that means 18 gets the bump to the 4th line, then so be it.
Also, break up the 37-77 pairing and move 24 up with one of them and drop the other down with Smidwick.

"I wonder if any girls are dressing up as Selene from Underworld tonight"
A lot of slutty cats and bunnies or just chicks with short skirts. Not a whole lot of originality but who's complaining.
November 01 2008, 07:24AM
Scratching Stortini in favour of MacIntyre? I don't know if that's necessary in Carolina.
Scratching Stortini in favour of MacIntyre? I don't know if that's necessary in Carolina.
Obviously MacT thinks that MacI is more effective than Storts. i would imagine it has more tot do with getting Storts pissed off to play better. Redundant?
We need to unload that extra goalie...sooner than later. Tough to send messages if you think you're playing every night.
anyone dogging storts should give thier head a shake, if he's the problem, we're still winning hockey games, maybe losing fights, but winning games.
an afternoon game + a hangover = a whole lot of couch time today! I'm desperate for a win, I hope the boys are too.
that is not a good start.
Is this game available in Hi Def or what?
I thought they were all avaiable in Hi Def this year! WTF?
We need Cole to have a statement game today - looking good so far.
MacI vs Brookbank would make my day too.
Top line looking good too, where's the defense?
please kill this off!
Short bench now w Moreau out. MacI won't see much more ice.
Brophy nailed it - instigator penalty is a joke, along with the sweater we've been fuct twice this year by the rules.
November 01 2008, 01:47PM
Chopper only gets a 10 min misconduct for the instigator, he'll be back late in the 2nd. No need to panic here.
Agreed though the instigator is a dumb rule.
Who cares about the leafs - more oiler talk Brophy & Falds.
Thanks hoceygod, I cannot figure out why they put Moreau out for that shift. Of course he's going to fight, I would rather have our slugger sitting in the box. Not one of our best players this year so far.
Garon would've saved whitney's break away.....just so u know.
Roli thought Bergeron was going to trip Whitney & take out his knee again.
These afternoon games always throw me off...I just can't get used to being this wasted and pissed off at this team so early in the day. Although they seem to be playing pretty well so far.
I think the game is on ppv in Raleigh, no network would pick up a hockey game on college football day.
All HD cameras watching football.
Nice safe promotion by Jayman's regarding $75 a hit...not going to cost them a lot most games... Feel free to hit someone Oilers.
That is why Horcoff is on the PP instead of Gagner...at least he can shoot.
did he just say Colorado Avalanche?
November 01 2008, 02:22PM
he reads exactly whats on the teleprompter :)
On the bright side Moreau back to kill penalty...
November 01 2008, 02:40PM
Did he just say Edmonron Owners?
lol. He is wacked out tonight.
November 01 2008, 02:55PM
November 01 2008, 02:56PM
Can someone provide me with a brief update? I'm 45 kinds of hung over from Halloween and trying to piece my life back togeether.
Its 1-1 wanye Horcoff scored an unassisted goal and former stick boy Ray Whitney scored the other
November 01 2008, 02:59PM
Wow how was that unassisted?
whitney's goal was a long bomb to burn the Oil on a bad change.
Still taking brutal penalties.
Horcoff scored in the exact same spot as his other goals this year.
Decent effort at times. Typical bad breaks and bad defensive zone faceoff loses.
PK has been effective though. Nice pressure.
November 01 2008, 03:06PM
(typing makes my eyes hurt)
Lol - 45 kinds of hung over. That is me 2morrow.
These penalties are gonna get us today.
November 01 2008, 03:09PM
I have some vague recollection of these two teams playing before...
Looks like Peckham will be playimg 2morrow AFTERNOON, if the goat not playing.
What's wrong with Gagner?
November 01 2008, 03:11PM
Attaboy Penner! Backcheck you mess!
I'm still paying credit card bills from watching all 3 losses in Carolina.
Bad memories of Bergeron & Rick Flair playing after goals - WHOOO!
5 on 3!! Here's our chance!
November 01 2008, 03:14PM
I guarantee a goal on this 5 on 3

Another day, another swoon in sovereign-debt basketcases. Actually, no: This one is pretty severe given the lack of appreciable new developments in Europe's crisis.
About the only hard news is that Spain formally asked for a bailout; Angela Merkel reverted to sounding tough again and Fitch downgraded Cyprus. Spain's IBEX 35 is off 3.6% in the final minutes of trading. Germany's DAX is down nearly 2% and Italy's FTSE MIB has swooned 4%.
Here in the U.S., the market action is even more severe for trackers of Europe's debt cases. Global X FTSE Greece 20 ETF (GREK) has plunged 8.5% on the session. The iShares MSCI Spain Index Fund (EWP) is down 5% and the iShares MSCI Italy Index Fund (EWI) has swooned 4.9%.
"It is really all about Spain and Greece at the moment," Dave Lutz, managing director at Stifel Nicolaus, tells Dow Jones Newswires. "Spain asking for a bailout was expected, but asking for the full amount is a big deal."

Woodworkers of every experience level can benefit from a router table. Router tables allow you to hold down projects, collect dust and have a fence to help guide your project. Learn more about routers and other power tools at www.toolselect.com.
MIKE: You want it all to stay nice and flat, and so the longer table helps get around that a little bit. But if you use this to control it, that's real solid.
BARNABY: Hey, what's up. Barnaby here. Let's say you're a woodworker and you're thinking you want to create a piece of molding with a nice profile. We're talking about thin stock. Are you going to try to use a fixed-based router? I think not. Oops, sorry about that brother.
MIKE: Ow.
BARNABY: Mike, let's talk about it, the need for, ta da! The router table.
MIKE: The router table. Exactly. Yeah. You know, you start getting into thin stock, or you start getting into a situation something like this.
BARNABY: Or just like this.
MIKE: Oh, yeah.
BARNABY: Look at this beautiful joint.
MIKE: Oh, those are pretty.
BARNABY: Yes.
MIKE: Anything where you're getting into a place where you can't clamp it down and then run your router around it.
BARNABY: Right.
MIKE: You may be better off getting into a router table. Not that expensive, certainly less expensive than your fingers, trip to the doctor.
BARNABY: Sure. And you're going to need a bigger router probably, at least 2 horsepower about, right?
MIKE: Oh, there's another plus.
BARNABY: Another reason to pick it up.
MIKE: You got to buy another tool.
BARNABY: But, you know, you got to be thinking about certain things. Certainly, router table off the bat, the stability of the deal.
MIKE: Yeah. Yeah, you're going to be ...
BARNABY: So you're looking for at least an inch-thick top router table there.
MIKE: Yeah, you're getting a bigger router. You're going to get a heavier router.
BARNABY: Right.
MIKE: So, yeah, you don't want to have deflection in the table. So a sturdier top. In a basic model like this, you're getting a lot of what you see all through the line of router tables, on up to the real expensive ones. You're getting, you're going to get an adjustable fence on it. You're getting a feather board here to help hold stack down. You're getting dust collection on it. You get a switch up front, keeps you from having to stick your hands way up under there to turn the thing on and off, which I don't like to do.
BARNABY: Yeah. And you've got the mitre.
MIKE: Yes. Mitre.
BARNABY: Yep. All right. So there's that. And then we work our way down to a little bit longer table, because as the stock gets longer you want it to be supported, obviously.
MIKE: Exactly. Getting one of those narrower tables, and you get a long piece of stock, like the one you chucked over there, violently.
BARNABY: That's two pieces of stock now, right?
MIKE: Yeah, those two pieces over there.
BARNABY: Sure.
MIKE: You know, that stock wants to bow on each end of that table, and what that does also is it lifts the stock up at the cutter head. And you don't want that. You want it all to stay nice a flat. So the longer table helps get around that a little bit. And speaking of flat, we've got an insert on this table here. This is a plastic one. They come in metal as well.
BARNABY: Right.
MIKE: But this case here, you've got adjustability to raise that up to the table height, and you want to make sure even then that you're not dropping down around that cutter head.
BARNABY: See, my concern is deflection, when you have like say a plastic piece router table here in the hot of the sun if you're using it outside.
MIKE: Exactly. Yeah.
BARNABY: You know, the weight of the router pulling down on it. It can actually dip on you.
MIKE: Yeah. I've had that happen. That's why I changed mine to a metal one.
BARNABY: Yeah. And we will see your most magnificent machine that you made in moments.
MIKE: Oh, it's it's so fantastic. I love it.
BARNABY: But what I like about this, too, is the switch that activates the power strip router table here, when you can actually ... You know, your vac is going to come on along with your router.
MIKE: Yeah. That's important. I mean, I use the vacuum on mine all the time. That's one of the tools I use the vacuum on the most, because you get those chips in here, and they start getting between the fence and your stock. Another problem. You're running a nice piece of stock through there. It's an expensive piece of stock sometimes. You mess it up on the router, you've got to go back and buy another one.
BARNABY: Right. And it starts looking like a popcorn maker in here. Just b-b-b-b.
MIKE: It's fantastic.
BARNABY: Right. Now we're into the metal base.
MIKE: Yeah. Metal base, obviously the base place on this one is not going to be affected by sun the way a plastic one would, and it shouldn't deflect nearly as much. This one's got holes drilled all through it, and what that is there is you can hook up all sorts of different routers to it. You still don't have router lift capability at this level.
BARNABY: Right. So when it comes time to adjust, you're going to be under here monkeying around.
MIKE: Exactly. There are a few routers out there that have an ability to send a T wrench down through what would be the bottom of the router, but now they're upside down in here.
BARNABY: Sure.
MIKE: So it's the top now. And change the height of the router. That may come into play on any one of these. But as far as inherent router lift capability, still not seeing it here. But the metal top's nice.
BARNABY: And this has an adjustable fence here to some degree, because it's got a shim.
MIKE: Yeah. They've got these shims that go in the fence. I just pulled it out. But it sits right back in there. It's 1/16". There's one on each side, so you get a total of 1/8" of play there. What it does is it allows you to make it kind of like a joiner.
BARNABY: Yeah.
MIKE: And so you can set one fence in and one fence out, and send your stock right through there and true it up a little bit.
BARNABY: Right. Well, let's head on down this way because we've got a router table that you can find at specialty stores, like say a Woodcraft or something.
MIKE: Yep.
BARNABY: This one's got a router lift.
MIKE: Yeah. This one does have the router lift. And what we're talking about is this little port right here, where you stick a wrench or something like that there, some are a little bit different, but they're all basically the same idea. You're router's connected to this base plate. Several different routers will connect to it. It doesn't have to have any lift capability in the router itself. And what you can do is use this to pick your whole router up and down. And this is a real nice method of doing it, because it allows real fine adjustment, and real solid adjustment as well.
BARNABY: But it doesn't, as we see it in this mutation, it does not have the on/off switch, but a lot of times you can buy the accessory to put on that.
MIKE: Yeah. They have those you can set up front. I really like those. I think that's great.
BARNABY: Yeah.
MIKE: And in this case, you've also got this fence back here, which allows you to run stock through. So if you're doing five-piece drawer fronts, styles and rails and stuff like that, what you can do on routers, you can set this guy up right here to do some of your side cuts. So you set your stock right on the side here, and it really controls it nice and easy. I mean, if you tried to take a 1" x 4" and run it along the fence here, that's not real safe, and it's not real good for making a nice tight joint. But if you use this to control it, that's real solid.
BARNABY: Because you don't want to be off even 1/32" when you're making drawers or stuff like that.
MIKE: No. It makes a big difference. A 1/16" is huge. A 1/32" will make a big difference, even in height of the bit. You'll end up sanding that joint down. You'll have a door that doesn't look right. All that work, and just because an adjustment was off just a little bit. It doesn't pay off.
BARNABY: All righty. And you probably have a picture of this in your wallet, because he's a proud papa of this right. Because you kind of cobbled it together because you wanted it to be just the way you wanted it.
MIKE: Well, yeah. This is kind of a work in progress. It's got some of the things I like on different router tables all kind of pieced together. It's still got a little work to do. But it's got the router lift on in. In my case, my base plate's a big, thick piece of aluminum.
BARNABY: Sure.
MIKE: No deflection there. A lot of adjustability around the top here to keep it in line with the top. But the thing that's different about mine, and the reason this one's in here today, is the fence on mine. This is a split fence. So the one next to us we looked at had the shims in the back of it. That's kind of the same idea here. And in mine, I've got knobs back here where I can adjust the fences independently, so I can ...
BARNABY: Is that a custom piece of gear back there, the freud.
MIKE: Well, that part right there you can buy. The fences I've altered. The fences that came with it were shorter, and they were made of MDF.
BARNABY: Right. A little metal fab going on there, right?
MIKE: Yeah. So I had those made up. And the nice thing is, I can do that joiner function on there. The off side to a split fence is that most of your work on a router table involves this fence all being the same plane.
BARNABY: Right.
MIKE: All flat, you know, just straight as can be. When you have a split fence, that's just one more adjustment you have to make sure you have right.
BARNABY: Right. So what percentage of the time do you think honestly you would need a split fence.
MIKE: I rarely use the split fence. I used it a little bit to join some lumber. But ...
BARNABY: Yeah. If you have a joiner you can get buy.
MIKE: Everybody should have a joiner. I don't have a joiner yet. If my wife is watching.
BARNABY: We should have like a gift registry.
MIKE: I don't have a joiner yet.
BARNABY: Well, you will. Father's Day is coming.
MIKE: Ha Ha!
BARNABY: So there you have it, a lot of good information about the right, because you're interested in which one might be right for you, and you're always going to get the good information right here at ToolSelect.com.

Door County, Where I stand as a golfer, and The Green Mile
by Radio Joe
posted Jul 15 2012 6:23PM
In my previous blog, I teased that I was going to talk about trading Zack Greinke. Since this topic has been the talk of the town for the last couple of weeks, I've decided to give my short take on the matter, and move on to something a little more interesting to the reader…well hopefully.
Should the Brewers trade Zack Greinke? Yes.
What do I want in return? Shortstop prospect Jurickson Profar from the Rangers. If Greinke goes anywhere else, give me a shortstop prospect and/or a couple of talented pitching prospects.
Enough said.
This blog is a compilation of three things – my vacation in Door County, my golf game, and
The Green Mile
This last week was perhaps the most stress free week I've had since graduating from Carthage College. In need for a break from reality, I managed to make it happen. After board operating the Rupena's Baseball Post Game Show last Sunday, as Tim and Sparky were live at Summerfest, I met up with some friends and drove over to Summerfest myself. Bumming around the grounds, we had a couple of beers and some greasy (but great) hamburgers. It was nice to reconnect with some of my closes friends, and regain a social life. While not seeing any of the headliners, we stopped at a couple of bars on Water Street…yes, we all got home safely.
Come Monday, I would meet my family in Door County, and spend the next few days there.
If I retire anywhere, it's Door County. I've been coming up to the peninsula since I was youngster. Why do I love Door County? The answer is simple - the scenic beauty, the fresh air, and the feeling that you're far away from civilization.
Typically, my family stays at Little Sweden, a timeshare resort just south of Fish Creek. After some complications getting a week in our condo, my mom settled on a small cottage just off the water near Sturgeon Bay. While the pictures of the cottage looked harmless, it was nowhere close to Little Sweden. In fact, we all felt we went back in time. The cottage was clearly something out of the 1970s – old furniture, shag carpeting, a TV the size of a lunchbox (I kid you not), uncomfortable bed mattresses, no internet, and not much room to move around. At least the place was very clean, but outside of that, I promised that I would only spend time there to sleep…I kept that promise.
My week in Door County was this - eating, sleeping, drinking, swimming, and golfing. The biggest thing on my mind, however, was trying to correct my golf game in preparation for the Kenosha County Open.
Leading to the second point in this blog, my journey to Door County allowed me to spend all the time in the world to figure out where I stood as a golfer. Because of my crazy work hours, I haven't had time to golf. Door County is known for their golf courses, so I played two of the most popular. Booking tee times for Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, I played twice at Maxwelton Braes in Bailey's Harbor and once at the Orchards in Egg Harbor. The weather was perfect, and oddly enough, there weren't as many golfers out there as I thought (maybe because of the economy). In the two days and 36 holes at Maxwelton Braes, I shot 94-92 (there were a couple of mulligans in that round). While my putting was almost stellar, I struck a ton of poor shots with my woods and irons. The problem with my game is consistency, and while shooting in the mid to low 90s is good, it's not good enough. At the Orchards, a course that plays much longer and wider than Maxwelton Braes, I shot a mediocre 101. The course should be the next stop on the PGA Tour. It's a titan of a course, and scenic as hell. Although I wasn't impressed with particular elements of my game, I had to buck up. The County Open loomed…
Leaving Door County early Friday morning, I returned to K-town, changed, and checked the newspaper to see who I was playing with. Sure enough, they had me paired with the two-time defending champ (and Pro) Bob Tierney and former champion Dave Wente. Great…watch me make a complete ass of myself on the course. Struggling to hit quality shots in Door County, I knew that my confidence was lacking. Hopefully, I do something right when playing with these guys.
For the first two holes, I was toe-to-toe with the best-of-the-best. We all pared the first two holes. I couldn't believe what was happening. Then, my flaws settled in. We were playing the white course at Brightondale. If you're familiar with the course, the 5
hole has a tight dogleg Par 4, loaded with trees on both sides. If you miss the fairway, you better figure a way to get back on it. So what do I do? Two tee shots in the woods and a couple of penalty strokes later, I holed out for an 11. An 11?! Hell, Bob made a birdie! At least Bob and Dave were very good sports, and did not laugh at me. That's part of the reason why they were champions.
After having four bad holes throughout my first round, I managed to put up a 101 (53-48). I clearly showed my good, bad, and ugly moments, but had I not butchered some of those holes, I would have shot low 90s for sure. In my opinion, Brightondale is more challenging than the courses I played in Door County.
This is my third year in the County Open, and I have had zero success. In fact, my best score to date in that tournament was a 99. It was my goal to prove that I could go much lower. In the second round early Saturday morning with a different group and course, I fired back with a 92 (49-43). I was dialed in both with my driver and irons; I stayed away from three putts on the greens, and only hit into a couple of hazards. On Sunday morning, it was more of the same consistency I'd been praying for. I fired a 94 (48-46). We played on the white course again, and the holes I butchered on Friday, came with pars and bogeys on Sunday. As for the 5
hole, I made an 8 instead of an 11. It's an improvement, right?
While I was nowhere close to winning the tournament, I'm glad I battled this weekend on the golf course. I'm glad my confidence level has returned. I'm glad I can hit better shots. What's the next big event I'm playing in? The 1250 Golf Outing. Last year, our group was second to last at +4. This year, I have a whole new group. In my humble opinion, we're going for the win in August. Larry Harris (if he plays) and his group better watch out. We'll give him a run for his money.
Although I was home from Door County, I still took off from work this weekend. The only thing on my agenda was playing in the County Open. Outside of that, I was still on vacation.
My dad has been encouraging me to watch
The Green Mile
. It's from Frank Darabont (the same guy that directed the
Shawshank Redemption
, one of my personal favorites, as well as
The Walking Dead
, my favorite TV Show), and the story was originally written by the great Stephen King.
The Green Mile
is set in the Depression Era down in Louisiana. Tom Hanks plays Paul Edgecomb, a prison guard situated in cellblock E, Death Row. He guards those prisoners, and escorts them to the electric chair when it's time for their execution. Michael Clarke Duncan is John Coffey, a GIANT and burly man convicted of raping and murdering two little farm girls. As Paul looks over the inmates, Coffey begins to perform miracles. Coffey represents a Christ-figure. Without giving anything away, Paul is put in a difficult situation. Should he execute somebody capable of healing others back to life? Would anyone believe what Coffey is doing? I was very impressed with the movie, and the ending made me choke up just a little. Recommend it to anyone.
That was my vacation in a nutshell. Back to reality. It starts with waking up at 3:30am to produce Chuck and Wickett on Monday. While I'll miss Door County, it's always nice to get back into the swing of things. After all, there are always more vacations to look forward to…

Eternal denim fave Ksubi kicked off its new flagship store on Chapel Street South Yarra in Melbourne, Australia with an anything-but-ordinary celebration. Guests partied between the grungy, exposed brick walls while slurping up snow cones and drinking from plastic bags filled with vibrantly-hued drinks lit up by glowsticks (great idea, right?). The store's aesthetic oozes the sort of chill surfer attitude that matches their clothing and, with a name like "The End of the Moon," it's only fitting that the centerpiece of the space is an American flag planted firmly into our most famous natural satellite. Blazing new horizons, indeed.

Posted on 12/07/2012 11:18:15 AM PST by greeneyes
The Weekly Gardening Thread is a weekly gathering of folks that love soil, seeds and plants of all kinds. From complete newbies that are looking to start that first potted plant, to gardeners with some acreage, to Master Gardener level and beyond, we would love to hear from you.
This thread is non-political, although you will find that most here are conservative folks. No matter what, you wont be flamed and the only dumb question is the one that isnt asked.
It is impossible to hijack the Weekly Gardening Thread ... there is no telling where it will go and that is part of the fun and interest. Jump in and join us!
It's a cloudy day here in Missouri, but the weather is mild going to a high of 58 and low of 48 tonight. We have had sunshine and balmy days for most of the week, and I took the row covers off to let the plants breath a little more, but also to harveset the bounty.
A little lettuce and lots of Rosemary, Stevia, Lavendar, Parsley, Carrots, and a snip of tarragon. Still eating on falls tomato pickings-all are various shades of red-no green ones left.
The green bells are blooming like crazy, and already have 9 peppers of various sizes developing. My lemon tree has almost 20 little pea sized buds, but I may pinch back some of those.
I planted some more spinach and lettuce this week, but it hasn't sprouted yet. Hope the weather in your location is great and you are enjoying your gardening activities. Best Wishes, and God Bless.
Pinging the List.
Pinging the List.
Pinging the List.
We still have lettuce, turnips and turnip greens in the garden; some spinach in the gutter garden on the side of the garage. (So far, I'm not excited about the gutter garden; it's messy, soil is of necessity shallow and production is low. It's husband's project, so I don't want to hurt his feelings.) - If a person can just raise a little lettuce and a few tomatoes, they're ahead of the game; tomato growing season has been over for us for a while.
I am awful. I snort disparagingly everytime I see this ridiculous post/thread.
How exactly, what should maybe be a letter to the grandchildren (under nine years old) becomes a regular post on FR, eating up band width, I'm so sure I don't know.
I recommend posting in Junior Scholastic.
Sorry. I now feel better for getting this off my chest.
"I snort disparagingly everytime I see this ridiculous post/thread"
And yet you click on it each and every time?
The bamboo we planted along the driveway a few years ago is doing very well.
Isn't stevia the plant that can be used as a sugar substitute? If so, do you dry it and grind it up or simply add as a green?
I agree with your first sentence, you are awful, but there are around 500 Freepers on the Garden Ping List, and I just recently took over posting the thread from Red Devil, so I can't really tell you how it all started.
Frankly, I recommend that you just ignore the thread, it must have been awful holding back all these years, but I am glad you feel better.
It appears that your response to stress is to spread it around and denigrate others who are enjoying a little discussion about growing their own food.
I prefer to spread a little cheer, so you have a great day and God Bless you and your family. May the Lord grant you tolerance to forbear all the many trials and tribulations that obviously come your way frequently.
Bless her little heart!
Sorry for the triple ping-I only hit the button once I swear. I also missed some typos before posting-distracted by a sick grand daughter. LOL.
Enjoy the lettuce and turnips.
What is a "gutter garden"?
Ridiculous? Really? Then why open this thread? There are many of us that enjoy gardening, and enjoy this thread- if you don't then BYE
Carry on.
The Garden thread predates your date of joining and claims many regular participants. Have you ever heard of "When in Rome...?" At least tolerate those who do.

Decent weather, all considered.
14 of my 18 germinated apricot seeds have pushed through the surface, and are putting out their first leaves.
"But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel." 1 Timothy 5:8
G-d has provided us with seed...get those orders in. :-)
I harvested leaves all summer, brought it in and it has grown like gangbusters in and outdoors ever since. It has even been knocked off ledges and put back in the pot. It still survives.
Just harvested a bunch for #1 daughter when she was here cooking tomato sauce for lasagna. It is the geneovese(?spelling?) variety. I potted it in Mels mix and give it a dose of dynagrow once in a while, and have to give it just a little water daily cause it is so big and the pot is so small.
'posed to freeze here next week Monday and Tuesday...
I guess my Bell's and Jalapeno's will be done...
I had a free range 'mater pop up about 6 weeks ago I may put a bucket on it since it has had a couple blooms stick...I doubt I can nurse it through the Winter tho.
My Neighbor with the tiller is moving I'm gonna have to come up with a tiller...unnnggghhh.
It is vigorous, and is also evergreen. I ordered it online and it is excellent. I just wish that I had made a note of the company name, because I wouldn't mind getting more of it. Next spring I'm going to try to either dig up part of one of the plants, or try to grow a cutting. It's beautiful.
Greeneyes, will you add me to your ping list, please? Thanks.
I've got 12 cabbages growing in the winter garden, along with about 200 garlic cloves, about half of which have sprouted. This is near Raleigh, NC.
In the space between the barn and a wall I've got a few arugula plants and some spinach.
In a month or so I'll start some broccoli indoors.
Yes, Stevia is the natural sweetner. I just use the dried leaves in with the dried tea leaves when I make tea. I have a little book, though that tells how to make a green powder and has some recipes.
It also gives hints for growing it. It is supposed to be perennial in zones 5-6, so this is the first year I am trying it in the outdoors garden.
Thanks for your support with the disgruntled poster, by the way.
Thanks for your support.
Yours is the first flame post, lame as it was, that I've ever seen in the WGT.
You should be proud.
Stevia is great stuff. Mrs. Augie uses it in her tea and has been experimenting with it as a sugar substitute for baking.
Just switch to no till. It is easier.LOL
I nursed some tomatoes and peppers through some short term freezes with row covers and straw, but you are correct about long term in the winter. Best to dig them up and bring them in.
Tomatoes won't set fruit below a certain temperature,IIRC it may be 50 degrees.
You have been added. Welcome to our little thread. Glad to have an addition after the snorting complaint that we are too "junior" to be allowed any bandwith.
Nothing growing up here in Michigan except my Egyptian walking onions. They'll have green shoots all through the winter. Those of you unfamiliar just google it. They root incredibly deep and stay alive all through the winter. I always have green onions and the older ones get almost as large as leeks. In the summer they form clove heads at the top that can be used for propagation or peeled and used like shallots. They do spread like crazy and have given away many clumps over the years.
Thanks for your support!
LOL...I've been around from 'square one', and I believe you might be right. Wonder if 'biggirl' has one of those blenders she can spare for a trophy?
Hey, Greeneyes...pay no attention to the person behind the curtain...
I love this thread, read it when I can even though I'm a horrible gardener...
Keep up the good work!
Carry on.
Dittoes to that.
Thanks for the quote, keep it handy in case we need it.LOL
While the local non-gardening liberals and marxists will be ordering Domino's tonight; my wife and I will be enjoying home-made pizza featuring sauce made from (OMG) home-grown tomatoes from the garden...there's ten bucks in our pocket for bills or whatever. :-)
Thanks for the support-I really was a bit incredulous that someone could get so worked up over a little harmless chit chat.
Stevia is something I am experimenting with too. I wanted to grow my own, because so much of what is in the stores is mixed with sucrose, dextrose, or one of the ose's.LOL
Not to mention, a product that is much more nutritious and so much better in taste! Nothing beats home-grown herbs and vegetables!
Thanks for the reminder! Broccoli and cauliflower...
Are your tomatoes and peppers in pots?
Not to mention a food item that isn't going to be handled by/exposed to other people before I eat it...creepy; if you think about it.
Sounds like a good type of onion to have, and very versatile.
That's a good point. I didn't even think of it, but anything that is touched by human hands can carry disease, which supports the idea of washing any fruits and vegetables gotten from the grocery store or farm stand.
When we grow our own, we also know what is in the soil, and whether or not pesticides or chemicals were used.
Thanks for your support. Just keep working at it. I used to joke about having a brown thumb, cause all my house plants died.
Then I discovered this thread, square foot gardening, and Mel's mix. Even I the famed "Doom the Bloom" gal had more successes than failures. Who Knew??????
I really enjoy having some homegrown fresh from the garden all year round now. Keep in touch.
Who may have coughed on the 'fresh produce' in the store or at the market? It's 'flu season', after all...
While the local non-gardening liberals and marxists will be ordering Dominos tonight; my wife and I will be enjoying home-made pizza featuring sauce made from (OMG) home-grown tomatoes from the garden...theres ten bucks in our pocket for bills or whatever. :-)
That Ten dollars could also buy a handy dandy sterno stove. It folds up kinda small, and easy peasy. Perfect for the backpack or emergency coffee when the electricity goes out, which is kinda often here where we live, or 5 or 6 silver war nickles, or........fill in the blank.LOL.
Thank you for maintaining this thread. I know how much it means to all of us to have this resource, inspiration, and gardening community here on FR.
That's exactly why I wanted to start gardening. That way I know if pesticides have been used or not(not in my case), and I don't have to worry about E-coli on fresh spinach.
Now, I have expanded to actually become a little more self-sufficient, and it helps on the grocery bill too.
It's all good!
Thank you for the kind words!

Cranton, Lindsey J. (June , 2011)[more][less]Cranton, Lindsey J. 2011-06-09T18:41:10Z 2011-06-09T18:41:10Z 2011-06 http://hdl.handle.net/1794/11222 41 p. A MASTER'S CAPSTONE Presented to the Arts and Administration Program of the University of Oregon in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Arts Management, June 2011 Museum education is an amazingly broad and diverse field. Museums everywhere have their own ideas and procedures that shape the way in which they educate their visitors. Living history has become an increasingly popular way in the United States and abroad in which to educate the general public about historic events that have occurred in our communal pasts. Living history museums are a unique and proportionally small number of museums which postulate that learning can be an immersive and enjoyable experience. Living history museums are life size dioramas that visitors can interact with and that require active participation of all of our human senses. Education at living history museums is designed to be fun and engaging, and is constantly trying to instill in visitors of all ages, a sense of wonder and excitement for both their natural and built environments. This type of 'edutainment' is a more viable option to the dry and outdated modes of education that are found in traditional history museums. People learn best from experiences that they enjoy. This new integration of education with entertainment and multiple forms of communication have made living history museums livelier and more engaging places. This paper will examine the educational experience provided for young visitors to America's living history museums. Two of America's most notable and popular living history museums will be examined; Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia and the partnership of Historic Jamestowne and the Jamestowne Settlement, Virginia. This capstone will address the question: are living history museums effective tools and institutions for the studying, learning, and understanding of specific time periods in the past? The conclusions in this work are that while historical interpretation at living history museums is not always historically accurate, it is still an effective and engaging set of tools and methods that can be utilized to teach visitors about a diverse range of subjects; anthropology, archaeology, academic history, landscape architecture, social history, historical geography, material cultural studies and interpretation, landscape archaeology, and regional folklife. The first American living history institutions, such as Colonial Williamsburg, helped to create a broad way in which to educate their visitors about the past and the values that were perceived important at the time. More modernized institutions, such as the conjoined Historic Jamestowne and the Jamestowne Settlement have furthered the living history industry's ability to create meaningful and wondrous programming without straying too far from academically defined 'truths'.

My 8 month old has sleeping problems. It's a struggle to get her to sleep, whether for naps, or nighttime. She will sometimes fall asleep in the swing, but she's about 10 days from outgrowing that. I nurse, rock, walk, and sing, but she does everything in her power to stay awake. Sometimes, it takes 4 or more hours just to get her to sleep. She wakes up between 5 and 6 no matter what time she actually falls asleep. So, if she finally falls asleep at 11, she only gets 6 hours that night. She doesn't get near the 14 - 16 hours of sleep the books say she should be sleeping. Some days, she barely gets 8 hours in a 24 hour period. Does anybody have any suggestions as to how to help her fall asleep?
No announcement yet.
Falling asleep
new posts
i'm new to all of this, and i'm actually seeking advice for this, not at night...but with my caregiver (my parents).
at night, we have a routine, and it really seems to help. every night, we give her a bath, then rock her to sleep. she now knows, that when she takes her bath, it's time for bed soon and calms herself down.
i think it's important to read her "sleepy" signs.. my little ruth rubs her ear when she's tired. or, she'll start to whine/cry while playing with us. when she does these things, i know to give her a little bit. i talk to her a lot, and let her know we're going to change her diaper then it's bath time. don't try to make her sleep when she's not ready...or keep her up when she's showing signs. it's important to pay attention to what she's telling you, so she can learn what she's doing by following your lead... she might be showing signs of being tire, but she doesn't know she's doing them. when you catch on to what she's subconsciously saying, and follow through and answer her needs, it helps her understand.
i highly suggest starting a routine, and sticking with it.
Good luck
I really feel for your situation. When my first child was little I was so determined to have him sleep well....I read " the no-cry sleep solution" and was fixated on him sleeping. I would pace the garden for hours with him in his push chair, it was such a battle. What I wanted to share with you was my realization that the battle was in my mind, he really didn't care to sleep when I thought he needed to. The book I mentioned has some really good tips, but honestly I would just try and relax around her sleeping. Go on with your day and night, be ready with open arms when she needs to rest but try and ignore the clock and give yourself a break for a few days at least.
With my second child I threw the book out the window, slept with him in my bed from day 1, let him nap when he wanted, often in my arms....and despite others telling me I was making a rod for my own back and that he was much too clingy to me, at 2 he now naps peacefully and sleeps well at night. I don't know if you co-sleep or if that is an option for you, but I found that making the bed safe and cosleeping with both my kids has allowed me to relax and get much more rest. Often I am asleep before them which seems to help them nod off.
I remember the hours and hours of pacing with my eldest , getting more and more frustrated, desperate for him to get the sleep he "needed" and I contrast this with the time I have spent snuggling in the dark with my youngest, nursing him to sleep or just holding him while he chattered quietly and it really is night and day. My eldest started sleeping more about a week after we brought him into our bed too.
One other point to mention is that my eldest is nearly 4 now and still does not sleep as much as the books recommend. Whereas my youngest would happily sleep a couple of hours more...we are all different in that way.
A few other suggestions.... White noise really helped with my eldest and we gradually phased it out, bath or tv around bed time stimulate him way too much, I have always kept the room dark at night, as I am close my kids do not seem to mind it, although I have read others especially those in their own rooms may like a nightlight, my niece started sleeping on her own once her fear of the dark was addressed. I would also recommend turning off or removing any electronics from the bedroom, some people, babies can be especially sensitive to the radiation even from electric clocks, wireless Internet etc.
Lastly, do not underestimate the discomfort of teething, even if they are not crying about it...I found with both of mine that they would have weeks when they really struggled to sleep, and it nearly always co-incided with teeth coming in. Obviously ensure that she is physically comfortable.
Hope some of this is useful to you, as they all say...this too shall pass. It will get easier, or at least the problems will change with time! I do recommend the book for a good range of tips to help babies and toddlers sleep, especially if you are determined to have her sleep at certain times, by herself. But if you can relax around it I would suggest just letting go, following her cues and trying bringing her to bed with you when you are ready, even if it means bringing your own bed time forward for a while.
Good luck

Outfit you and your fellow football players in padded team gear, which helps defend against aggressive tackles and other abrasive blows. Basketball shoes help you achieve great heights, so you can go for that slam dunk, while soccer shin guards protect against accidental cleat kicks.

Show your pride while cheering on your school's team with team apparel that reflects your school's colors and keeps you comfortable while flying and tumbling through the air. Kneepads are a must in volleyball, keeping your knees safe when you sprawl across the court to dig up a hit. Choose from a wide selection of racquets from our sports store, which help you develop a serious tennis serve, and burst toward the finish line while running sprints in track and field with the right pair of shoes.
Move fluidly across the ice when you're wearing the right pair of hockey skates, and go the distance and score a goal with lacrosse sticks that allow great ball control.

75% of U.S. shoppers cite price as a key factor in making a purchase.
Allison Enright
U.S. consumers cite price most often as the prime factor in choosing to make a purchase online, according to an online survey of more than 5,300 consumers in a dozen countries. 75% of U.S. respondents rank price as the most important factor, while the global average stands at 61%.
The survey, fielded by online marketplace operator Rakuten Inc., included responses from consumers in the United Kingdom, Germany, Austria, France, Spain, the United States, Brazil, Taiwan, Japan, Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia. Rakuten, which is based in Japan, operates marketplaces in all those countries. It is the second-largest e-commerce company in Asia, according to Internet Retailer's Asia 500.
Globally, the reliability of the retailer, at 49%, is the second most-cited factor in choosing to make a purchase online. Consumers in Indonesia and Thailand cite it as the No. 1 factor, 69% and 65%, respectively, whereas 45% of U.S. respondents cite it.
In the United States 33% of respondents cite having a variety of shipping options as a key factor, greater than the global average of 29%. U.S. respondents are less concerned about having a variety of payment options—only 9% cite payment options as an important factor, whereas the global average is 20%. U.S. respondents are also less interested in on-site rewards programs, such as accumulating points on web purchases that can be redeemed later. Just 9% of U.S. respondents cite on-site rewards programs as important versus 11% globally and 29% in Japan, the leader. Brazilian consumers are the least interested in on-site rewards programs, with 5% citing it as a purchase driver.
In June, Hiroshi Mikitani, Rakuten Inc.'s co-founder, chairman and CEO will deliver his keynote address, titled "Spanning the globe for e-commerce opportunity," at Internet Retailer's Conference & Exhibition 2013. Readers can also learn more about Rakuten's global approach to e-commerce in the April issue of Internet Retailer.

The talk usually ends up at the gym that you will get a big booty when doing squats. It is true that squats do help build the rear area. But the exercise also builds the hamstrings, calves, back and strengthens the core muscles. Most of the time if you follow a more strict diet and do the cardio you will find that the big booty will start dropping off along with the fat covering the abdominal muscles.
Be sure to add squats to your bodybuilding workouts. Keep on a leaner diet following with cardio training to help keep the big booty from coming. Barbell squats are a great way to add muscle mass to your frame.[weight lifting]

Montpellier ran three second-half tries past Sale Sharks to claim a 33-18 Heineken Cup win at Stade Yves du Manoir on Sunday.
Montpellier ran three second-half tries past Sale Sharks to claim a 33-18 Heineken Cup win at Stade Yves du Manoir on Sunday.
Montpellier's win made it a French double in the second round of Pool Six after Toulon's victory in Cardiff.
Three Montpellier scores in the middle of the second half was when the damage was done, as up until then, Sale had matched the home side.
Mark Cueto's first try of the season got the ball rolling in the fourth minute. Tom Brady made a great break on his right wing, after Joe Ward had turned over on the five metre line. The ball was recycled to Danny Cipriani, who kicked wide for the former England international to collect the ball on the bounce.
Rob Miller missed the conversion attempt, but Montpellier's kicker, Argentinian Martin Bustos Mayano fared better with his shots at goal.
Four out of four first half penalty kicks, against Miller's solitary strike, gave the French side a 12-8 lead at the interval.
Miller's accuracy returned soon after the restart to narrow the gap to a single point, but fly-half Francois Trinh-Duc started the onslaught on 51 minutes.
Incredible momentum in the scrum gave Johnnie Beattie the platform for a great pick and go, before he offloaded to Trinh-Duc, who did the rest.
Thomas Combezou offloaded to Timoci Nagusa for the Fijian to race down the wing to extend the lead five minutes later.
Julien Tomas put the game beyond doubt on the hour, after a great move by Trinh-Duc, who gave his scrum-half a superb reverse pass, with Tomas racing through to dot down.
All three scores were converted, but Richie Vernon scored the last try of the game with six minutes left, for what was to be a consolation for the Sharks.
The scorers:
For Montpellier:
Tries: Trinh-Duc, Nagusa, Tomas
Cons: Bustos Moyano 3
Pens: Bustos Moyano 4
For Sale Sharks:
Tries: Cueto, Vernon
Cons: Miller
Pens: Miller 2
Montpellier: 15 Lucas Amorosino, 14 Pierre Bérard, 13 Timoci Nagusa, 12 Shontayne Hape, 11 Martin Bustos Moyano, 10 Francois Trinh-Duc, 9 Julien Tomas, 8 Johnnie Beattie, 7 Mamuka Gorgodze, 6 Fulgence Ouedraogo, 5 Thibaut Privat, 4 Aliki Fakate, 3 Maximiliano Bustos, 2 Agustin Creevy, 1 Juan Figallo.
Replacements: 16 Rassie van Vuuren, 17 Yvan Watremez, 18 Vincent Pelo, 19 Mickael Demarco, 20 Alexandre Bias, 21 Benoit Paillaugue, 22 Santiago Fernandez, 23 Thomas Combezou.
Sale Sharks: 15 Rob Miller, 14 Tom Brady, 13 Will Addison, 12 Mark Jennings, 11 Mark Cueto, 10 Danny Cipriani, 9 Cillian Willis, 8 Mark Easter, 7 David Seymour (capt), 6 James Gaskell, 5 Kearnan Myall, 4 Fraser McKenzie, 3 Tony Buckley, 2 Joe Ward, 1 Eifion Lewis-Roberts.
Replacements: 16 Tommy Taylor, 17 Ross Harrison, 18 Vadim Cobilas, 19 Richie Vernon, 20 Andy Powell, 21 Nathan Fowles, 22 Nick Macleod, 23 Johnny Leota.

Journal Article
The paper analyzes the potential trade distortion effects of state trading enterprises (STEs) on soybean imports to Korea. Traditionally, STEs have exercised exclusive rights to import the so-called strategic products, to ensure food security, domestic price stabilization, and import mark-ups. However, STE imports have been criticized on the grounds that industries using soybeans as a raw material are unable to obtain a diverse mix of quality material and cannot exercise the "right to choose" their own ingredients. Under a theoretical framework, a tariff equivalent of the STE is postulated to equate imports by private firms with imports by the STE. An empirical model is constructed and estimated using annual data spanning 1980–2009. The estimated results show that providing exclusive rights to imports has a negative effect on market access. When the STE pursues consumer welfare, the import-reducing effect turns out to be smaller than that in the producer welfare maximization case.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
We live in unsettling times. Do you think that things are getting worse? It seems evil is running more rampant than before. What do we do as things steadily get worse in the world around us. I was reading this morning about the misconduct and disciplinary actions taken for several police officers. Mostly sexual misconduct. The POST is going to put more emphasis on ethics training for officers.
We expect police officers to be law abiding citizens. How can they uphold the law among the populace, if they themselves are lawless. On the other hand, these police officers are just human and they are just performing a job like anyone else, but not like anyone else. Most of us don't put our lives on the line each day as we go to work like they do. We expect them to be better, and when they aren't, when they are just human, we are disappointed in some way.
I've been terribly distressed about the deaths of young people, young people taking their own lives. What leads them to this desperate act? This world is so depressing. You really have to search to find the good. You never hear much about the good. One friend of mine in our local sheriff's office told us in a class we took that using a gun is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Our youth have temporary problems, that shouldn't be solved with permanent solutions. How do we get kids the help they need? Why have we allowed this world to get so bad that our children feel it closing in around them? What is our hope for the future?
We have a man who writes in to our paper a lot about the evil of abortion. I agree with him totally. Abortion should not exist in a society that has any feelings and convictions about the sanctity of life. Why isn't life sacred any more? Why are unborn children killed every day in this country? If we can't take care of the unborn how can we take care of the masses of children and teenagers that need help in this country. Why do we need so much help? Where have we failed our children? I think we have failed our children by allowing video games that show people shooting other people. We have failed our children with the masses of movies about killing and maiming and those that show graphic images. You can only take in so much before it begins to spill back out again in negative and hurtful behaviors.
Hollywood needs to be sent a message that we don't need crap like that. Our kids don't need to see it. We don't need to see it. We have to take responsibility for what we allow our teenagers to view and listen to. Over the weekend the Horton Hears a Who movie ranked number one at the box office. This is a cartoon. People are hungry for good entertainment. This movie is made from one of Dr. Seuss' books. Why can't there be entertainment without the F word and tons of swearing, nudity and garbage? A lot of the movies are really good shows which tell good stories, and they would be just fine without the junk. A good movie can stand on its own. The Bucket List showed two old codgers who were diagnosed with cancer and how they took a tour around the world doing some of the things they wanted to do before they kicked the bucket. The rich man was really the poorer of the two as the poor man had a family and people who cared about him. He wasn't rich by the world's standards, but he was rich in spirit, rich in the things that really matter in this life, a family that we love and that loves us. Do we spend way too much time focused on things that don't matter and too little time focused on what really matters?
How much time do we spend in prayer, thanksgiving and reflection? We have been given much, we here in this valley. We have a lovely place to live, plenty of sunshine, nice houses, nice cars, nice families, but still we have many problems. There is too much child abuse, alcohol and drug addiction, too much disregard for each other and the rights and feelings of others.
How can young people grow up in a society that places no value on human life and dignity? The television is so filled with lurid images. How can young men grow up with a proper perspective of women and sexuality if all they see are scantily clad women? Where are the women who respect their bodies and treat them properly?
I have been accused of being a prude on more than one occasion and I am really old fashioned. But, for some reason I think that's what we need. We need to be a little more old fashioned when it comes to traditional values and morality and the sanctity of human life. We need to value our children. We need to value other people's children as our own. We need to take action when there is wrongdoing. We need to stick up for what is right. Don't let people call wrong right. There is black and white when it comes to what is right and wrong. We can't be afraid to speak out.
It reminds me of the story of the Emperor's new clothes and how everyone was afraid to tell him he actually didn't have any clothes on at all. We can't be afraid to let people know what we think. We are the silent majority and we have stood silently by while they try to take our guns away. We have stood silently by while they have taken our God out of our schools. We have stood silently by while they took Christ out of Christmas. We have stood silently by while millions of unborn children have died, we have stood silently by while they have invaded our homes, computers, movie theatres and magazines with their filth. We have stood silently by while innocent children are abused and neglected because we didn't want to get involved. We have passed the homeless on the street without a look or a bit of change. When will we step up and be the kind of people that this country needs?
Going back to what I said in the beginning of this article. I feel the unsettled times we are in. Where do we look for peace? I used to have a picture of a boat on my refrigerator with a saying on it which read something like we can't take on too much water or our boat will sink. It's time to start bailing water, our boat is sinking.

When it comes to commodities, gold and silver have been fund investor favorites. To Citigroup's (C) strategists, the time is right to get out of precious metals and into the battered shares of companies that mine industrial commodities, like iron ore.
Jon H. Bergtheil and colleagues predict that gold's allure will wane and precious metals' industrial brethren will do better in 2013 and 2014 if, as they expect, mature economies stabilize and China recovers. Chinese demand is key to this idea. It would drive prices higher at the same time as it drives economic expansion.
Central banks' monetary easing and suppression of interest rates, the key reasons many precious-metals fans buy the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD), iShares Silver Trust (SLV) or Sprott Physical Gold Trust (PHYS), is conspicuously absent from the thesis.

I was also drawn to the work of ezra pound and Robert Creeley.
ezra pound offered to make useful connections for Joyce, and find places where he could publish his writings.
The result was often art, which the poet ezra pound defined as news that stays news.
ezra pound ranks among the finest poets of his generation, but his greatest trait may have been his eye for talent in others.
John Clare and ezra pound are two of the very greatest poets.
The reality is much more collaborative; where would Raymond Carver have been without Gordon Lish, or TS Eliot without ezra pound?
I owe the substance of this lai to my friend ezra pound, who unearthed it, ψαμάθῳ εἰλυμένα πολλῇ, in some Provençal repertory.
ezra pound has been fathered with vers libre in English, with all its vices and virtues.
measure of weight, Old English pund "pound" (in weight or money), also "pint," from West Germanic *punda- "pound" as a measure of weight (cf. Gothic pund, Old High German phunt, German Pfund, Middle Dutch pont, Old Frisian and Old Norse pund), early borrowing from Latin pondo "pound," originally in libra pondo "a pound by weight," from pondo (adv.) "by weight," ablative of *pondus "weight" (see span (v.)). Meaning "unit of money" was in Old English, originally "pound of silver."
At first "12 ounces;" meaning "16 ounces" was established before late 14c. Pound cake (1747) so called because it has a pound, more or less, of each ingredient. Pound of flesh is from "Merchant of Venice" IV.i. The abbreviations lb., £ are from libra, and reflect the medieval custom of keeping accounts in Latin.
"enclosed place for animals," late 14c., from late Old English word surviving in compounds (e.g. pundfald "penfold, pound"), related to pyndan "to dam up, enclose (water)," and thus from the same root as pond. Ultimate origin unknown; some sources indicate a possible root *bend meaning "protruding point" found only in Celtic and Germanic.
"hit repeatedly," from Middle English pounen, from Old English punian "crush, pulverize, beat, bruise," from West Germanic *puno- (cf. Low German pun, Dutch puin "fragments"). With intrusive -d- from 16c. Sense of "beat, thrash" is from 1790. Related: Pounded; pounding.
