(Belatedly) Joining the Growing Challenge
I have no excuse to offer other than growing things from seeds scare me a bit. There. I said it! Other than a few lettuce and some ground cherries (the stuff that somes up by itself in the compost or between the pavers doesn't count ;-), I have had *really* poor success with getting seeds to germinate in the past. I think I've done everything wrong so far, from overwatering to underwatering, to giving them too much sun and then too little sun! Poor things.
However. Thanks to some overzealous ordering from this year's annual seeds catalogues (um yes, that would have been me doing the ordering), I now have a *ahem* large number of (mostly) heirloom vegetable seed packets in my hot little hands, and therefore no excuses not to learn how to get the precious little things growing properly!
Click on the banner above or in my sidebar for the Challenge rules, but it is, very simply put, to push ourselves to grow more food - from seed - and post about it once a week. I might not have much to post about until the weather over here warms up a bit, but I will be posting regularly about my progress once I do!
Any tips on successful germination will be gratefully received ;-)

Welcome aboard the Growing Challenge!
Follow the seed packet directions.
Don't sow them too deeply.
As soon as they poke their heads through, mulch heavily between the rows.
We've found covering everything in bird-proof netting this year has helped the seeds gallop along.
Our rule of thumb for watering - if it hasn't rained by 5pm, we give them about 1 x 8 litre watering can per 2x2 mt vegie box in Winter.
In Summer we give them 2x watering can full.
Get an old stocking, shovel some cow manure into it, tie the end off and soak it like a teabag in a 20+ litre bucket of water.
After 1 week you can decant 1 litre of this into the watering can for the seeds/seedlings as liquid fertiliser. But only 1 feed of it per week.
Old seed-sowing rhyme -
1 for the worms,
1 for the crow,
1 to rot
and 1 to grow.
Sow more than you need ;) - 30/7/08 7:14 pm

Secret to seed growing - I got a cheap ass greenhouse off ebay for $38, put seeds in some peat (though they say not to - peat moss is apparently better), water them in and then don't water them again until you have a seedling about 1 inch high.
Placing the greenhouse-thingy somewhere sunny helps too : )
Also, some seeds are S L O W to come up, and some just fail altogether.
Capsicums and tomatoes I have found take forever, but most lettucey type stuff comes up in 3 - 5 days.
If packet says sow direct, I put them into an egg carton filled with peat and then cut out the "egg" when I have a seedling and plant the whole thing in the ground. Then I go on a vigil killing snails. - 30/7/08 9:55 pm

Hi Jayne and Cat,
Thank you guys so much for your tips (and I love the rhyme Jayne). I've written them all down faithfully, and I'll keep my fingers crossed ;-)
Hi Tracy,
Oh wow! I'm so excited! I'll email you in a sec, THANKS!

Well done on joining! I received my peanut seeds a couple of weeks ago and am looking forward to fulfilling a specific personal goal for the challenge! I found starting with "easy" vegies like rocket and lettuce really eased me into it...also, have a look at making your own individual paper pots to avoid transplant shock - they work well but I never seem to have time to make them :) ! Love Jayne's rhyme!

I forgot to add that I have been cutting along one side of a 3 litre milk carton and placing it over my row of seeds to act as a mini greenhouse and then, when I transplant the seedlings I put a milk carton on top (lid off) to protect them for a week or two (more if the chooks are particularly active!).
- 1/8/08 12:38 pm
- Cathode said...
Hey rebecca, try putting them in egg cartons and then snipping each "egg" off when you want to transplant (carton and all). Recycles your egg cartons and good for saving time on making them.
Just make sure you pierce a hole at the bottom of each "egg" with a skewer, and I snip off the lids and line them with aluminium foil and use them as the trays to hold them : ) - 1/8/08 6:57 pm

oh, CM, the giuys is listing another greenhouse like the one I bought. I swear it is a great little thing for seed propagation. I have 600 seedlings all on the go at the moment in mine! (of course I have no idea where I am going to plant them all)
Anyhoo, link is here

Hi Rebecca, thanks for the tips :-) We go through heaps of milk here, so I love your milk bottle reuse!
Hi Cath,
Thanks for the link; coincidentally the greenhouse is identical to one I picked up at Bunnings! About the same price too (phew). I'm definitely going to use your egg carton tip too, thanks :-) Now I just have to find somewhere else to keep my cold-tender bromeliads so I can use the greenhouse for my *seeds* ;-)
Cheers, Julie - 1/8/08 7:38 pm

Hosting Your HD View Content
viernes, 24 de abril de 2009 0:30Hi,
I have tried to follow the directions given on http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/redmond/groups/ivm/HDView/HDcreate.htm to host my content on the free Silverlight development server. However, I can not seem to get it to work. I am using ICE to output what I believe should be either "HD View" or "HD View SL" content. Both types work for me locally. If you follow the instructions on the above page they state that you should zip up the following files and folders...
flowers_files (folder)
... and upload them to the development server. I don't have this flowers_hdv.xml file. ICE does not output it when I chose Deep Zoom Tilesets. Where do I get it from?
It's the same when I try to output HD View Tilesets. I end up not having the flowers_hdv.xml PLUS I don't get the HDViewSL.xap file either.
Like I said, both of the formats work for me locally but when I use the Silverlight instructions I just end up with the HDView Beta 3 splash screen. It does not fade out and give any content.
Any help appreciated, especialy if it comes in a "click here, then type this, then press enter" kind of format.- Editado DatumX viernes, 24 de abril de 2009 0:32 typo

sábado, 25 de abril de 2009 6:25I have the similar problem. No flowers_hdv.xml. I am not using Silverlight services, instead, I am hosting my photo blog using wordpress at GoDaddy.com.
Any help. Thanks in advance.
miércoles, 29 de abril de 2009 18:22hey datumX
i have exactly the same problem ... but got as far as uploading the image and i think filling out the manifest info correctly (though instructions fall apart around there).
still can't get it to work ... very dissapointing ... why does it need to be so complicated!
if anyone can advise ...

Hi All,
ICE hasn't been re-released yet, so the instructions on http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/redmond/groups/ivm/hdview/HDcreate.htm which apply to the HD View Utilities (HD Make and the Photoshop Plugin) aren't quite right. I'll update the page, but meanwhile the differences are:
In ICE, instead of getting both "flowers.xml" and "flowers_hdv.xml", you get just one or the other depending on if you chose either "HD View" or "Deep Zoom" tilesets. (That's because we didn't have the concept of "Dual" yet which needs both.) Likewise you don't get HDViewSL.xap if you choose "HD View" because it's only used for "Deep Zoom".
But, you should be able to upload what you've got (e.g. for HD View, no HDViewSL.xap, and flowers.xml instead of flowers_hdv.xml), and point your  src at flowers.xml instead of flowers_hdv.xml and it should work. If you post your  I'll have a look.
--Howard -
domingo, 10 de mayo de 2009 19:28I'm no further forward.
OK in the case of HDView ICE outputs:
A folder called tiles which has sub folders in it.
It also outputs an HTML document (which when I double click it brings up the working local view) and an XML document.
I add "manifest" and "HDViewOnLoad" to these three items making five in total.
I zip up these five (and name the folder kitchen2) and then go to the Silverlight upload page.
In the instance below I call the application kitchen2 and navigate to the zip file and upload it.
The confirmation screen comes up and says The application has a well-formed manifest and the Method 1: Embed the application as a frame default script reads:

It does not work when I paste it into my blog.
Neither does the "Launch application test page" function work. I just get a blank page.
This is more than likely due to my not really understanding how to amend the suggested iframe output. Or should I not be adding manifest and HDViewOnLoad?
DatumX -
domingo, 10 de mayo de 2009 20:13You need to include the xml file name in the iframe as in the example here:

This didn't work when I just tried it, so either I didn't get your xml filename correct or it hasn't been uploaded. Please adjust the above and replace kitchen2.xml with the correct xml file name, then try again to use the iframe.

martes, 09 de junio de 2009 20:47Is the xap file generated unique to each fileset or can I have the xap in a folder of multiple filesets ? ie; I have kitchen1, kitchen2, and kitchen3, which contain the image folders, in a folder called kitchen. The kitchen folder contains the .xml, .htm, and hdv.xml files for each of the kitchen1, 2, 3, and only one .xap file. Will this structure work or do I have to create sub-folders for each, so as to contain a unique xap file ?
miércoles, 10 de junio de 2009 17:40That directory structure should work (I'm sure you'll let us know if not :-) You only need one HDViewSL.xap--it's not unique to each fileset.
sábado, 18 de julio de 2009 5:33Not sure if there was any conclusion on this issue. I'm facing the same problem. Hope someone can help me
I prepared the content with hdmake with the following parameters
hdmake -src "DSC_2945 - DSC_2984.jpg" -xmlcntrsphere NiagaraFalls.xml 180 -viewer dual -html
Which generated NiagaraFalls.zip, NiagaraFalls.xml, NiagaraFalls_hdv.xml and NiagaraFalls.htm
I added NiagaraFalls.xml, NiagaraFalls_hdv.xml, HDViewSL.xap and HDViewOnLoad.js to the zip file and uploaded to streaming.live.com
I didn't add manifest.xml (the link on the instruction was broken, by the way), but I managed to generate it via the Admin page with the following input (they were all populated automatically the manifest.xml was generated, I simply accepted the ;default')
Silverlight Version: 2
Source *: HDViewSL.xap
Display Name: Niagara Falls
Script Files: HDViewOnLoad.js
I pasted the following to my blog

but when I tried to view my blog, no image came up. And the HD View iFramd showed "This HTML page does not specify a source image"
I tried adding the Filename to the url
I tried both Niagarafalls.xml and NiagaraFalls_hdv.xml as FileName and Viewer was set to 0, 1, 2 but nothing works.
What I'm missing? According to MSDN, the manifest.xml can be created/edit via Silverlight Streaming Admin page. So I guess it's OK if the menifest is not included in the zip package at the time of uploading.
By the way, I can launch NiagaraFalls.htm and view the local copy of the content.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

lunes, 20 de julio de 2009 4:55OK I've fixed the manifest.xml and HDViewOnLoad.js links; try it now. Sorry for the inconvenience, and let us know if this doesn't fix it!
--Howard -
lunes, 20 de julio de 2009 17:12Howard,
Thanks for your reply. But unfortunately, it still doesn't seem to work. Not sure whatelse I'm missing...
You can download my zip file here and take a look to see if the file structure is correct.
I'm embeding the HD View on my blog with the following code

There is no error, just a blank iFrame on the page. -
lunes, 20 de julio de 2009 19:00Hi Andy,
NiagaraFalls.zip has the old HDViewOnLoad.js in it; make sure you download the new one from the link (I had to fix both the manifest.xml and HDViewOnLoad.js links).
Also you might want to call it "NiagaraFalls1" or some such at first to make sure you're not getting a cached version.
--Howard -
lunes, 20 de julio de 2009 19:10Hi Andy,
I just tried it with the new HDViewOnload.js and it works fine. Nice panorama!
--Howard -
martes, 21 de julio de 2009 6:00THANKS A LOT, Howard! It actually works!
However, I noticed that for some reason it doesn't work consistently. For the same page, same code, sometimes, it brings up the image rather quickly after the page is loaded, but sometime, it just gives you a HD View Logo, and you just see it gets dimmer, and dimmer, and you kind expect something would come out soon, but nothing. Restarting browser (BTW, I'm using IE7) seems to help a little, but no guarantee. Not sure it's because of the server is too busy or something on client side?
Anyway, at least I learned the proper way to host my HD view content now, thanks to you.
Andy -
jueves, 23 de julio de 2009 18:37Hi All,
I have had success loading an HDview panorama to the Silverlight Streaming Server and can embed the app into a page on my website.
The strange thing is when the page is displayed, the following happens:
1) frame comes up with HDView Logo
2) Logo fades and image begins to display. A wireframe (grid) indicates the size full image. The frame is overlayed with the image, tile by tile.
3) Tiles display starting from left side of image display. This proceeds until the vary last part of the image on the far right side of the screen. Here there is still some wireframe exposed (looks like maybe one tile is missing at full screen display). From this point, the application continues to download data (watching network traffic), but the right side of the image never displays ??.
4) Notes: The zoom and pan functions do work as expected and other tiles are updated even though part of the image is missing. The perspective control at the top of the screen does not function when the image wire frame is showing.
Background: The tile set was created using the Photoshop plug-in. This was set to create an HDview app to minimize the download file size for testing. When the plug-in finishes, it opens the app in the browser and locally this works.
Here's a link:
I have bashed around on this for a couple of days, so I'd be grateful for some suggestions.
viernes, 24 de julio de 2009 8:50Hi Peter,
I tried your link and it works for me, with both Parker_Overlook.xml and Parker_Overlook_hdv.xml. Are you still seeing the problem, and if so for which .xml?
--Howard -
viernes, 24 de julio de 2009 18:06Hello Howard,
It's very interesting. For several days, including yesterday morning, the right side did not display. However, last evening I tried it again and it was worked. I had a friend check it as well and it worked for her, too. This morning I checked it at my office and it now works here as well. (cue spooky music) It's a mystery to me since I did nothing to "fix" it. My thought is someone changed something on the server side, but I have no detailed visibility into what is happening on the Silverlight server.
lunes, 22 de febrero de 2010 18:19Hi!
I'm beginner in programming, but I want to advice you to visit this html tutorilas resource. I think its helps you!

Modx CMS... What do you think?
Anyone use this before?
If so, Pros\Cons? I'm getting a little tired of doing 74923478923 things to Wordpress to get it working somewhat like a CMS, unless I'm doing everything wrong.
Thanks!I have played around with most of the main open source options at one time or another, but I keep coming back to Wordpress. I find it the easiest to work with, the best supported and I've never had a question about wp that somebody else hasn't already asked, so a quick google search will always get you back on track.
I confess I haven't used modX but it does look interesting, I even had a copy on my hard drive for a while but never got around to installing.
To be honest, if you have a paying client that wants a full blown cms and you don't think that Wordpress is up to the job, then spend the money and get Expression Engine.I'm currently in the same boat as Apostrophe: I do love my Wordpress.
I also have wanted to check it out. You can fiddle with a live copy of it here:
(Thanks Doc ;))250 bucks per a website? What's so amazing about Expression Engine?You don't have to do 74923478923 things to make it work like a cms. That's less than one third of a cent each, seems like a bargain to me. :DAnd the winner of "Best answer on the forums, 2009" goes too.......Wow! How true! ;)
I'm looking into ModX a little... Thing is, these days I don't have time to try something out for hours, to find out I don't like it.
:<Thing is, these days I don't have time to try something out for hours, to find out I don't like it.
And there you have hit the nail on the head.
At one time or another I have messed around with Drupal, Joomla, Textpattern, CMS Made Simple and Frog CMS. They all suffer from outdated or incomplete documentation, they all have a learning curve (some steeper than others) and if you need support you are totally dependant on user forums and communities, some larger than others and some more active than others.
I once got three quarters of the way through a project with Drupal only to find that a module(plugin) I was planning to use wasn't compatible with the version I was using, changing versions, apart from being a major job, wasn't an option as that would render three other plugins useless. Then, to add insult to injury, I was told in a forum that "that is the beauty of open source" as I now had the opportunity to bring the plugin up to date for the community.
That's why I always come back to Wordpress, there is so much information and advice out there and, having used it so much, I now know it inside out and back to front.
Seriously, if I had a job that required a full blown cms, I would go with EE and pass the cost on to the client. It is a "proper" cms with a totally customisable backend that would please any client. Best of all, what you get with that price is real support. No posting on a forum and checking back every five minutes for an answer while the clock ticks and deadlines approach.
That's my (not so) humble opinion anyhow.Then, to add insult to injury, I was told in a forum that "that is the beauty of open source" as I now had the opportunity to bring the plugin up to date for the community.
Amen. I was told something similar once... If I KNEW how to update the code, A) I wouldn't be using someone else's plugin probably, and B) I wouldn't be asking how to fix something.
I guess I'll just keep trucking with Wordpress... I've only attempted 2 sites with it, so I guess I just need to keep using it until I know it inside and out like you do.
Thanks.I did take the time to learn modx and I was quite impressed with it, but it just doesn't have the level of plugins that wordpress has. If I could combine the two, then I would use wordpress for the blog capability and modx for everything else. The one thing I don't like about modx is that EVERYTHING is in the database (including all the html and php code) not just the content.
I do want to learn expressionEngine some day. It is another project by the same folks who created codeigniter so if it is anything like codeigniter, it must be good! Codeigniter is fantastic -- very easy to use, clean, great and well thought out design!"milehighdesigner" said:I guess I'll just keep trucking with Wordpress...

Yea, I definitely recommend reading about the wordpress templating system. It's very well documented. Their codex is soooo full of useful information. I feel like I know a lot about it, but I'm sure I'd learn a lot more by spending an hour in that site."Donna" said:The one thing I don't like about modx is that EVERYTHING is in the database (including all the html and php code) not just the content.
Thanks for the notes/review. That is an odd feature.***** I am not trying to sell you anything just tell you about another CMS that I use. If you want to use it I can help you take full advantage of the system so that you can make residuals off of the website you design using this system.
Commercially the System is Called GoodBarry, the Developers are Business Catalyst.
You have three options with this company... you can buy it from them (or a reseller) to design a site for your client, you can be a reseller and get a 20% cut of the pie each time your client renews (monthly or annually) or you can be a Partner and you have all that plus you can rebrand the system to what ever you want Partners can also get a sign on bonus for referring other designers.
I am a partner reseller and am just in the process of finally rebanding the system. The cool thing about this is that your customers see your brand every time they log in so if they have an issue that needs addressing or any other service you provide they think of you.
I currently use it on 98% of my sites that I have designed as of Dec 07.
They are located in Australia and have a good following here in the US (now with a local server now here..) and they have just finished or are finishing up a new server location in England.
GREAT SUPPORT and TRAINNING via Videos and Online Webinars.
One of the cool features about this too is that they do not design websites... so any lead they get (and they get a lot) goes out to their resellers and partners. I have landed 5 projects just from their referrals. (of course they give them like 5 to choose from) They also have a great network of designers that collaborate a lot too.
This is actually the first time i have actually told other designers about this CMS.
I just set up a direct page you can go to for more information on the system...
Or you can go right to the source at http://goodBarry.com
If you want to hook up with them as a reseller or partner give them my Seller ID 190 or Designedbyjeff
Hope this gives you more options.Hey Jeff,
Thanks for the link. Sounds like a quality program, but I fear it's lacking on the Front End of things. I just ran through the video, but didn't see much on the front end development. He mentioned that there are "modules" that can be added to the site, and I saw one for "forum."
Here's my questions =)
How quality are the modules?
How many are there?
Is it easy to create your own modules to the site, or are you pretty well stuck within their frame?
How easy is it to totally change the template?
Thanks,"AshtonSanders" said:How quality are the modules?

How easy is it to totally change the template?
Lets see if I can do this justice
Quality of the Modules. I have only found one fault with the shopping cart module and that is ONLY becasue my current client wants more than it can handle and I do not have the expertise in Javascript to tweak it yet. but that being said it has the BEST shopping cart module I have ever used .
Other modules currently available are: these images are taken right from my dash board and I can explain any you may have questions about...
[attachment=0]Picture 20.png[/attachment]
There is a Module called Web Apps where you can create your own modules.
The templates are your creation. I use Coda to create my templates. I then indicate with a tag where the content goes... if you have need of several layouts you can do several templates... plus you can modify the system templates such as the shopping cart product layouts and all that.
They do have a plug-in for people who like Dreamweaver called Triangle and it works seamlessly with their system.
here are some sites I am working on right now that can give you an idea as to layout...
Mine... still working on the copy and some CSS http://designedbyjeff.com
Dev site... http://cutiepetutiejewelry.designedbyjeff.com
Dev site... http://guybiggsconstruction.designedbyjeff.com
http://giveralliance.com waiting on content from partners
http://donabramharris.comwaiting on content from client
Remember the video you saw... was really intended for non designers or programmers...
Let me know if you have anymore questions am glad to share what I know.hmmm. It definitely sounds interesting. Honestly, I couldn't imagine it having anywhere close to the modules that Wordpress has, but Wordpress doesn't have a good Ecommerce plugin...
I just don't have time to look into another CMS right now especially a paid one. Thanks for the info though.

Returning after a long hiatus from the basketball court, Midway's JV girls started off a little flat against visiting Trask, but they soon found their footing and rolled by the young Titan girls 36-24.
"Between not having played in a while and moving some of our girls up to varsity, we were a little rusty," said Raider coach Allen McLamb. "Some of these girls had never been on the court together before, but they stepped up play pretty quickly. By the second and third quarter, they were playing good basketball."
The-scoring game started slow, with neither team able to find the basket that often in the first quarter. At the end of the period, the team's were knotted at only 5.
They stepped up in the second, with Midway jumping ahead and taking a 17-13 lead into the half.
The young Raider girls extended that lead in the third period, taking a commanding upper hand, and by quarter's end they were ahead 32-19.
"Overall, I was pleased with how the girls played," McLamb said. "We had six girls score. Any time you do that, it's a good night."
Ashlyn Warren and Kelsey Pondo led Midway's scoring with 8 points and 8 rebounds a piece. Also scoring were Kimberly Sublett, 6 points; Savannah Bullins, 6; Taylor Fairlcoth, 6; and Emily Williams, 2.
After Tuesday's game against Wallace, which was called in too late for the Independent's deadline (see those scores in Thursday's paper), the Raiders will take on Lakewood's JV Leopards Friday night.

Automated Orthotic Manufacturing System.
In July 2004 we were the first to invest in a CAD/CAM system. We are proud to have set the standard here in New Zealand.
Foam impression and plaster casts can be scanned. Alternately a foot scanner can be used by the Podiatrist.
Here's what our clients enjoy from us...
In 2004 we were the first laboratory in New Zealand to offer automated orthotic manufacturing. Since installing our Computer Aided Design (CAD) software and Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) milling machine have produced thousands of orthotic prescriptions for podiatrists.
Using a high resolution laser scanner to digitally map the plaster cast or foam impression, we then make the required corrections to ensure the positive mould is precisely matched to your patient's requirements.
The advantages of automated manufacturing include; faster delivery, improved accuracy and the ability to produce identical prescriptions for patients who want orthotics for several pairs of shoes.
While laser scanning and CNC manufacturing ensure accuracy, our experienced staff hand finish the orthoses. Each shell is machined and polished, pads, extensions and covers are attached then a final quality inspection before they are packed and dispatched.

Adu's scoring touch returns in Union win (With Video)
CHESTER — A funny thing happened Sunday at PPL Park: The Union won.
Not since July 29 had the Union come away with one of those. Coincidentally, they hadn't gotten a goal from an attacking player in that same eight-match stretch.
Leave it to midfielder-turned-forward Freddy Adu to change both. Adu got the start out of position and scored a pair of goals in the Union's 3-1 takedown of the Houston Dynamo.
Adu turned in a beastly effort on a 28th-minute tally, then converted a penalty kick in the 50th. Josue Martinez, in his fifth start, notched his first goal on a 70th-minute cleanup in the box.
Adu also suffered an injury, which precipitated his exit in the 56th minute, but more on that later.
Adding to John Hackworth's first victory since his elevation from interim to full-time manager was that it kept the Union (8-14-6, 30 points) alive temporarily in the playoff race. A loss or a draw would've sent them officially packing.
"Doesn't matter if we don't have a chance to be in the playoffs," captain Carlos Valdes said. "We have to do work because a lot of fans are coming to see us every game to support us and we have to give them the work."
At times in the last six matches, Adu has bemoaned a decreased number of minutes. That thought seemed remote against the assuredly playoff-bound Dynamo (12-8-10, 46).
Adu made good on a run from the backfield by rookie Ray Gaddis, who started in place of left back Gabriel Farfan. Gaddis played a ball through the box and past Adu, who sprinted to track it down and save it from the end line. Continued...
"I could've let that ball go out of bounds, but I wanted it so bad," Adu said.
Adu kept the ball in play, took two touches into the box and drove it past Houston defender Kofi Sarkodie for a 28th-minute tally.
"I was actually going to cross the front post, but (Houston) did a good job getting back," Adu said. "Then I went 1-on-1 against Kofi. At that point, when you shoot the ball, they say a defender is always going to try to block it, so shoot it right in between his legs. I caught the goalkeeper at near post because he couldn't see it."
Adu notched his first two-goal game in two seasons with the Union after halftime, and after the Union relinquished the equalizer on a nasty finish by the Dynamo's Oscar Boniek Garcia in the final minute of the first half.
Michael Farfan played a 50th-minute corner into the box, where Sheanon Williams absorbed a shove to the back from Houston's Andre Hainault. A penalty was in order, and Adu elected to take it, slotting one past goalkeeper Tally Hall for the game-winning goal.
On the play, though, Adu said he sustained a left quad strain and had to be removed from the match. He said it happened when he tried to change where he was going with his PK at the last minute.
"When I was lifting up after I was running, I couldn't lift my foot out to push off of it, so I had to come out of the game so it didn't get any worse," Adu said.
Not quite finished, the Union struck for another goal in the 70th minute.
Hackworth, desiring to kick-start a sluggish offense, gave Martinez the nod and benched Jack McInerney, Antoine Hoppenot and Chandler Hoffman. Martinez made good on the opportunity when the Union scored yet again on a corner.
The ball volleyed around the box twice before falling to Amobi Okugo, who drilled a shot across the box and toward the left post. Martinez managed to stay onside and push it past Hall from three yards out for the first goal of his MLS career. Continued...
"I was excited. It's such a great feeling to score (my) first goal," Martinez said through a translator. "I just wanted to enjoy it with the team. I've been blessed by my mom, my girlfriend. Every time I play I want to call my girlfriend to tell her."
The Union won. That's certainly worthy of a phone call.

Boys Choir of Harlem goes quietly
Category: 'Y' Written by Courier Newsroom
Led by Dr. Walter J. Turnbull, who started the group in 1968, the Boys Choir of Harlem sang at the White House for nearly every president since Lyndon B. Johnson, and it was awarded the National Medal of Arts by Bill Clinton. But it did not survive long enough to perform for the country's first Black president.
What happened to this internationally acclaimed choir? For more than three decades, they sang Mozart in Latin, Bach in German and Cole Porter and Stevie Wonder in English, from Alice Tully Hall in New York to Royal Albert Hall in London.
The choir's last official performance was in 2007, around the time of the death of its founder, Turnbull. But no one ever announced that it was gone. Board members and alumni had hoped to revive it, but according to a New York Times article they acknowledged that they had not had any success.

The tiles lining the staircase are mainly from Tunisia, while those used on the arches are of Californian origin. The entrance hall on the first floor is a strange mixture of styles; the tiles and a passage way to the loggia are Islamic, the pink window is Romanesque and the archway decorated with angels is Byzantine. The County Supervisor's conference hall is entered through a double door; its murals illustrate the history of the county, beginning with the Indians watching the arrival of the first Europeans led by Cabrillo.For a good view out over the city towards the ocean, a trip up to the top of the El Mirador bell tower is in order. Located throughout the courthouse are numerous paintings by noted artists Allan Gilbert Cram, Van Cina. In the mural room visitors will find an original Grosbeck.

NSS Preview: Sideshow Press
Today I'm super duper excited to share a preview of my Charleston neighbor's stationery line, Sideshow Press. (Heeeey, neighbor!) I'm thrilled for them as they venture to the Javits for the first time as exhibitors (they're setting up as I type this) with their fab new line, which includes letterpress cards, wrapping paper, totes, pencil holders, journals and other desktop necessities. All inspired (obv) by the outdoors: canoe trips, crackling campfires, cabins and other woodsy adventures. I've got my eye on those handy note pads, which would, indeed, be handy for storing all those darn passwords that I keep forgetting.
If you're headed to the show, be sure to stop by to see the ladies of Sideshow Press at booth #1852 and tell them "hey."

Slendertone uses Electronic Muscle Stimulation (EMS) toning technology to create strong, deep muscle contractions to tine your body. It mimics the body's natural muscle movements; signals are sent between the pads, switching on the nerves that control your muscles and causing them to contract naturally. EMS technology has been used for over 40 years in hospitals, clinics & physiotherapy practices around the world to strengthen
and rehabiliate muscles.
