Several zucchini squashes got away from me last autumn. I harvested a few in September and the final one as frost threatened in late October. Until two days ago, all three were still with me.
I no longer think of zucchini as just a summer vegetable. I made a video to share my experience. What do you think? Are you ready to grow zucchini as winter squash?
In 2007 I bought Mammoth Dill seeds and scattered them in a three-foot space in my garden. The plants thrived and three years later, the great grandchildren of those seeds emerged with weeds in early spring. I've had "volunteer" dill plants every growing season since that fateful first planting.
Dill is one of the most distinctive herbs you're likely to grow. Many herbs such as oregano, basil, thyme, fennel, sage, and cilantro contribute to flavor combinations more often than they stand on their own. Consider packaged seasoning mixes labeled Italian Seasoning and Poultry Seasoning—both distinctive for the combinations of herbs they contain. Cilantro often punctuates heavily seasoned Mexican dishes and Indian curries.
It's less common for a recipe to combine dill with other herbs. Rather, potato salad, salad dressings, marinades, and soups feature dill; instead of blending, it becomes a prominent flavor in the dishes it seasons.
Dill is one of the easiest food plants you might ever try to grow. In fact, it's so hardy and eager that after the first season you plant it, it may appear year after year in your garden and you won't need to plant it again.
Photo captions provide more information. You can grow that!
Maturing dill plants resemble nothing else I grow in my home kitchen garden. To me their stems look vaguely similar to bamboo while their leaves are more like ferns. A Mammoth Dill plant can grow four or five feet tall.
A dill plant puts up one main flower head comprised of dozens of tiny florets. Given time, the plant may produce all kinds of additional flower heads. Many dill pickle recipes call for you to add a full head to each pickle jar—you can use a head in full bloom, one that is just budding, or one at any stage in between.
When a dill plant finishes putting out seed heads, the plant dies and the seeds dry. This head has already dropped quite a few seeds and the ones remaining would be adequate to start a small dill plantation. The dozen or so other heads on the plant also dropped seeds. Dill seeds sprout when they're damp; they don't care if there's soil covering them. They don't wait for warm weather. They are among the first things to sprout (along with weeds) in spring. If you're just starting to garden and you want to build confidence, plant dill. You can grow that.

My home kitchen garden is livelier this year than in any other November. That's because I set up hoop tunnels over my lettuce and pak choi, and my salad patch is growing strong. All the other annual food plants are down for the count.
Still, wanting to participate in Garden Bloggers Bloom Day (read about Bloom Day at May Dreams Gardens), I searched every corner of my yard for what's still in bloom. There's not much. The photos tell the story.
Through spring flower-appropriate holidays, a family in my neighborhood sets up huge tents in 12 department store parking lots throughout central Pennsylvania and sells lilies, hydrangeas, chrysanthemums, daffodils, hyacinths, and other potted plants. When the season ends, the family collects whatever didn't sell, sets it all out on their driveway, and invites passersby to take what they want. This one sat on my front porch all summer and still doesn't know whether it's going into a planting bed. Mums generally survive winter here, but they've failed to woo me into giving them the chance.
Amazingly, even after several 26 degree nights, there are still viable rose blossoms in my new rose bed. Because most of the blossoms have frozen and look terrible, the rose patch is pretty sketchy. I might best to have harvested the few undamaged blossoms and set them indoors in a vase.
I expected to find a few dandelion flowers in my yard, but it took me one and quarter turns around the house before I spotted this one low in the grass. I eventually spotted another, but how many dandelions have already appeared in Bloom Day posts over the years?
As long as we're looking at weeds, I included a shot of this one. I believe it's a Heath Aster, and it hasn't noticed the cold. Meadows around here naturally fill up with asters, thistle, and goldenrod. Of course they all wish my yard and garden were a meadow, and they often try to make it so.
While the other flowering plants in my yard are shutting down, the decorative holly bush is just starting to flower. Clumps of blossoms seem particularly abundant this fall. It makes me wonder whether the number of blossoms relates to the severity of the coming winter. If more blossoms equals more winter, this winter should be a doozy.
It's autumn! Granted, we're a month past peak leaf-peeping season, but winter is still more than a month away. Happily, I didn't let peak season slip past; I spent several hours across many days capturing autumn scenes in Pennsylvania farm country. The collection here represents my neighborhood at its best: rolling farmland that blends with undeveloped countryside.
A clump of trees along Route 15, Lewisburg's "major" highway, burned every shade from yellow to red, and caught the last rays of sunlight on a gorgeous evening in late October.
I favor evening light for landscape photography mostly because I've become a night owl going to bed just a few hours before sunrise. A scene as basic as a view across a farm field gone wild dances with light, shadow, and textures in the reddened sunlight near dusk.
Pretty sure the field in this photo holds corn stubble. The farmer harvested mature corn plants when leaves were green and ears were beginning to dry. The harvesting machine chopped up the plants, and the farmer stored the resulting mulch-like material either in a silo, or in a heap on the ground. Cows love corn plants and are happy to eat them fresh, or fermented — and fermentation is a key factor in making silage. Just as we might ferment vegetables to preserve them for storage (think sauerkraut which is fermented cabbage), fermenting shredded corn plants preserves them so they'll last through the winter. Silage exposed to air spoils, so a farmer must draw off the top three or four inches each day and feed it to livestock.
An overgrown gravel drive leads into a stand of trees surrounded by a field of corn. This is feed corn. The farmer leaves it to dry until the kernels are hard — just like the corn seed you plant in your garden. Machines can harvest and shuck the ears, or they can harvest, shuck, and remove the corn from the cobs. Cows, horses, and other farm animals are happy to eat the dried corn – with or without the cobs.
Most farms in central Pennsylvania began as family homesteads. Each is within reasonable walking distance of neighboring farms, so from high ground you can see dozens of barns and farm houses scattered across the landscape.

Give your bean plant experiment a chance to grow up and it will eventually reward you with some of the most unusual blossoms you'll ever see. Different bean varieties produce different colors of blossoms. I've seen white, yellow, and purple in my own garden.
Have you ever sprouted a bean seed? Every one of my kids did this in preschool, and I remember sprouting beans in grade school. At some arts festivals and county fairs, I've seen booths where you could plant a bean seed and take it home to watch it grow. Maybe you've sprouted a bean seed?
Amazingly, bean seeds will sprout even under somewhat unnatural conditions. For example, the seed I started in grade school was in a clear plastic cup. We folded a piece of paper towel into a strip, rolled it into a cylinder, and lined the cup with it. Then we wet the paper, shoved the bean seed between the paper and the wall of the cup, and set it on a windowsill. We watched roots grow down while stem and leaves grew up.
Who didn't do something like this in preschool, grade school, or at a science fair? My kids brought home beans planted in soil, but I prefer this approach; it ensures that you'll see roots, stem, and leaves as the plant starts growing.
I'd be willing to bet that most people who have sprouted beans have never seen their bean plants grow up. Let's reverse that trend! Make a point in the next growing season to plant some beans in your kitchen garden.
There are bush beans and climbing beans (also known as pole beans). Bush bean plants grow short and nearly support their own weight. They can look like very small shrubs. Climbing bean plants grow long and twist around whatever they find nearby that's at least as tall as they are; they're vines. All the climbing bean plants I've grown have reached at least 10 feet in length. The photos show what you can look forward to if you plant climbing beans (which I recommend over bush beans in an article titled Canning and Freezing: How Big Should Beans Be?)
At first, a climbing bean plant looks like a bush bean plant. However, after a climbing bean deploys its second set of leaves, it stretches a leader skyward (left). That leader twists about as it grows longer until it rests against something; then it turns toward whatever it's touching. When another spot on the leader touches something, the leader turns again at that point and so on.
It doesn't take long for a climbing bean's leader to wrap repeatedly around a trellis or neighboring plant. On the right, two leaders wrap around a single upright. In time, the leaf clusters will enlarge and flower stalks will emerge from them.
In hopes of encouraging you: I gave the bean plants in the photographs no special care. Before I planted seeds, I dug an eight-inch circular hole about eight inches deep, filled it halfway with compost, and added back soil I'd removed to make the hole. I tossed the compost and soil to blend it a bit, and then erected a support in the center of the hole. Then I set four seeds around the support.
I watered heavily the day I planted seeds, and kept the soil damp until seeds sprouted. Then, for the remainder of the season, I left the plants alone except when I harvested beans. It's that easy. You can grow that!
My tripod bean trellises are only eight feet tall; I recommend making yours at least ten feet. Thirty nine days passed from when I photographed the bean sprouts (above) until the beans reached the tops of my trellises. Still nothing to harvest, but the first beans were only two weeks away.
September 1st – two months after planting – my bean plants were covered with ready-to-eat beans as well as flowers that would produce even more beans. A convenient characteristic of bean plants is that they produce an abundant crop in just half a growing season.

I can't say that Tucson is more gorgeous than central Pennsylvania, but it is different gorgeous. The view across the bar in the hotel's main lobby included a peek at craggy arid mountains unlike anything in my neighborhood.
In a post titled Back from the Garden Writers Symposium in Tucson, I reported about my trip to the annual conference held this year in Arizona. I shared photos from the one garden tour I was able to enjoy, and from the gardens along walkways at the hotel. I also explained about the conference's show floor.
The GWA Symposium draws a decent contingent of garden industry suppliers who set up booths on a show floor in the hotel. GWA members spend nearly eight hours spread over two days visiting the booths and learning from experts about industry products and services. Manny suppliers offer free samples to the garden writers in hopes that we, the writers, will feature those products in our writing.
I had only a few hours on the show floor near the end of the exhibition. Of course, I scouted for products of special interest to kitchen gardeners.
In the "appeals to all gardeners" category, there were two tool companies that I remember visiting. One, Dramm Corporation, was showing a very colorful collection of tools—especially ones you'd use to water your garden. The other, Corona Tools, was showing ComfortGEL pruners—tools with slightly squishy grips that are supposed to be easy on your hands.
I was happy to pick up a pair of pruners from Corona Tools to use in my own gardening. I got a few extra sets as well, and will give them away on my blogs in the near future.
BlackGold products had a place on the show floor. BlackGold is an extensive collection of prepared organic soils and soil amendments—appropriate, I think, especially for apartment dwellers and other folks who need to garden in containers. Even more specifically for container gardeners was a product line called UrBin Grower. This is a planter that maintains airspace between the bottom of the soil and the top of a water reservoir.
LiveWall showed a compelling expression of green wall technology. The planters hold soil in trays that hang on horizontal tracks; plants grow up rather than out. This looks like a green wall a plant would design for itself. A freestanding unit on wheels was particularly compelling. I suspect it could manage a fine salad garden as well as several more demanding vegetables in a very compact space.
This modest tube of squishy gel will keep a potted plant hydrated for 30 days. You may find DriWater in garden centers in coming months.
The most memorable product in the "appeals to all gardeners" category was DriWater. DriWater comes in a squishy clear plastic tube—a lot like brown-and-serve-style sausages. The product is a gel that is 97% water. You use a tube by slitting it open along one side and laying the slit against soil nurturing a plant you want to hydrate for an extended period.
According to the representative, bacteria in the soil digest the gel, releasing water from the package. A single DriWater package can hydrate a container plant for 30 days. Municipal parks workers can set out DriWater units and reduce the number of visits necessary to keep city gardens green.
Renee's Garden offered up a few varieties of vegetable seeds I've thought of growing over the years. I was happy to bring those home along with others that looked appropriate for next year's garden plan.
In the plant category, I saw more ornamentals than I can recall. Some were specific to warm climates and would not survive in central Pennsylvania. Others were hardy enough for my home state. From Encore Azalea, I picked up the Autumn Sunburst which is supposed to blossom repeatedly through the growing season. From Skagit Gardens, I brought home the Kennedy Irish Drumcliff Primrose, hardy to zone 5, and Festuca Beyond Blue—a gorgeous clump of ornamental grass that's hardy to zone 4.
Flirting with hardiness issues, I found Amistad Salvia from Southern Living. I wish I'd checked the tag because they recommend it for hardiness zones 9 and higher; about 2 zones farther south than it is now. More promising, from Star Roses & Plants, is Flamenco Rose Salvia. This Salvia has pink flowers, and I'd love to have it survive in my garden, but it's hardy to zone 7—that'll be hit-or-miss for me.
A great opportunity for garden writers at the Symposium is to get ahold of new types of plants that breeders are introducing. Producers give us free samples to try in our own gardens, and I was happy to try BrazelBerries blueberry and raspberry plants. Plants come potted, and it's terribly impractical to leave them that way and still lug them home on an airplane. So, I shook soil off the roots of my samples, and packed them into zipper-topped bags. I left an 18 pound bag of potting soil near the door of my hotel room, and brought about two dozen plants home alive.
Finally, on the non-edible side, I picked up a three-pack of Sunrosa rose plants from Suntory. These promise to be covered in red blossoms through most of the growing season.
VIVA! Offered up Scentsational Lavender, a variety they told me was on the hardy side of the lavenders. My last lavender plant gave out after three years, and the representative for the VIVA! product told me that was typical of lavender—I'd always thought it was a perennial that lived on the edge in my hardiness zone, but now I have more reasonable expectations for this lovely herb.
My greatest thrills came at two booths. One, Renee's Garden had two racks of vegetable seeds and invited me to select any I'd like to try in my garden. It's hard to find space for the seeds I save from my own plants, but I have a significant expansion in mind for next season, so I'm trying a small assortment from Renee's.
My second thrill came at the BrazelBerries booth. BrazelBerries come from Fall Creek Farm & Nursery and have small habits appropriate for container gardening. The BrazelBerries line includes two varieties of blueberry plants, and one of raspberries and I got samples of each.
Several days after I returned from Tucson, I had planted all of the plant samples. This is the BrazelBerries Jelly Bean blueberry plant, bred for container gardening. While literature that came with the plant recommends it for "large" containers, there's nothing that says "how large." I used a 7 gallon planter which is the largest I've ever used. If the plant someday looks stressed, I'll find a place for it in the garden.
With so many live specimens available to try, the challenge for conference goers is to get the plants home. It's not practical to jam all those flower pots into a suitcase, so I spent an hour at the hotel shaking potting soil off the roots and repacking plants into zipper-topped plastic bags. These I stacked surrounded by clothing in my suitcase—some in a carryon and others in a bag I intended to check. Happily, all the plants came through in fine shape and I've since planted them in my garden and on my deck.
I'm excited to see how the plants do, and will share my observations in coming seasons.
I happened to reach the Corona Tools booth as vendors were packing to leave. There, my friend Chris gave me a handful of ComfortGEL pruners along with sharpeners to keep them in top form. In an upcoming post, I'll launch a giveaway of those pruners with instructions for how you can enter to win a set. They feel great in my hand, and I expect to pack some next summer when I head out to pluck suckers in my tomato patch.
Despite thorough weeding on September 5th, my autumn lettuce patch includes quite the assortment of weeds. The seeds for the lettuce patch came from one or more vendors at garden shows I attended in 2011 and early 2012; one packet might even have been a #gardenchat seed mix. If you haven't participated in #gardenchat, give it a try. Find more about it here: Garden Chat
My kitchen garden is so small that I plant very intensively. By late August, nearly every inch is under vegetable plants, so I rarely add a third planting for cool-weather crops. I got lucky this year.
I had planted onions which matured and begged to be harvested in late summer. In the same patch, at least one carrot plant put out a seed stalk; a clear sign that the roots were mature—perhaps too mature. So, by September 5th, I had a generous space in which to plant fall veggies.
After harvesting my summer vegetables from my garden annex, I pulled weeds and raked the soil smooth. Then I "broadcast" seeds. That means I threw them on the soil. I put pak choi in one area, mixed lettuce varieties in two areas, and spinach between the others. Then I gently raked the soil to work the seeds in just a bit.
In six weeks, the lettuce and pak choi have done beautifully, and I harvested my first lettuce salad in the spirit of Post Produce! Despite a few nights below freezing, the salad greens are growing beautifully, though shooting photos for this blog post revealed a modest slug population dining on the leaves.
I've erected the ribs and spine of a hoop tunnel to provide protection for one of the lettuce patches as nights get colder. I'll cover it with clear plastic and try to nurse the lettuces along into winter.
Post Produce is a link party hosted by Daniel Gasteiger at Your Small Kitchen Garden blog. Link to your entry at Post-Freeze Post Produce.
I love to use pak choi in stir fry, but it never occurred to me to grow any until this year. My plants are a bit feeble, but still looking very nice; next year I must improve the nutrition of the soil in my garden annex. I didn't get down low to take this photograph and so was amused when I loaded it on my computer and spotted the slug back under the leaves. Slugs, of course, are what have been making holes in my autumn salad greens.
Looking southeast across the Lewisburg Community Garden reveals a variety of vegetable plants. One border of the garden (visible on the right in the photo) sports dozens of sunflowers.
Lewisburg, Pennsylvania – the town where I live – got a new gardening hotspot this year. Bucknell University turned a chunk of downtown real estate into a community garden. The garden covers what might have been two or three in-town lots and is obviously very popular.
The Lewisburg Community Garden includes 22 garden plots available for rent by citizens. These small gardens within a garden vary in dimensions, though they seem roughly to have equal square footage. From the looks of it, all these individual plots are in use.
Each gardener brings unique style to the community garden. Some of the plots have a Square Foot Gardening flavor, while others have more of a post-Neanderthal sensibility. In each, vegetables of many types grow with promise of fine harvests for the community's gardeners.
In late spring, the new Lewisburg Community Garden was growing vigorously. This view is from outside the garden's south fence looking north. The land floods periodically so making it a garden rather than housing seems quite sensible.
Personnel from Bucknell and community volunteers maintain nearly half of the community garden for charity. What they grow in it goes to a local food bank – and there's a lot growing there.
Experienced gardeners provide expertise, and it's clear from the associated blog that many involved parties are learning gardening through this project.
It's such a joy to see plants emerge and develop in the community garden. I hope this becomes a focal point for people to learn about real food; about how plants convert sunlight into stuff we can eat, and about how homegrown produce is so much better than the processed, packaged stuff crammed onto shelves in the local grocery stores.

A Brooksville Elementary student isn't happy with the new statewide testing in schools, and she's making her opinion known.
Sydney Smoot, 9, spoke Tuesday in front of the Hernando County School Board. She told school leaders that she's not happy with the new Florida Standards Assessments.
"I do not feel that all this FSA testing is accurate to tell how successful I am," she said in her speech.
WATCH: Sydney Smoot speaks out against standardized testing
The fourth-grader says the testing causes way too much anxiety for students.
"I just don't think it's fair because one test defines you as either a success or failure," Sydney said.
She also says she had to sign a form telling her not to talk about the testing with her parents. She felt the need to speak up. (Click to continue reading)

Back between 2005 and 2009 I taught quite a few military-to-civilian transition classes up at Fort Meade in Maryland. Since the traffic was horrendous, I'd leave my house really early and arrive on base at 6:30 AM. Class didn't start until 8 so I had some time to kill. Most mornings I would drive to the Class 6 Shoppette (a gas station that sold groceries and alcohol) to get my Red Bull and a 5-Hour Energy shot.
One morning I was in the Shoppette and heard a woman's muffled screams coming from the back of the store. I went back there and saw an old lady in the beer cooler. She was pounding on the door trying to get out. I grabbed the handle and opened the door. She hugged me and said I saved her life.
Then she asked me, "How did you manage to get in here?"
I told her I just pulled the handle. She told me that she was desperately pulling the handle from the inside. I guess she didn't realize she had to push it. The harder she pulled, the more stuck she became. Then she panicked and when she did, she thought she was trapped.
I never forgot about that old lady in the freezer. Some of us are a lot like her. When trouble comes, we panic and when we do, we do some dumb things.
Today I got an unsolicited email from a gentleman wanting work as a proposal manager:
Good afternoon,
I am available immediately, and have a lot to contribute to your organization.
I have extensive experience in government proposal development.
Recently came off a four month effort, rested a bit, and I'm available immediately.
Also, recently responded to 8(a)Stars, Sources Sought, and IDIQ submissions.
I'm looking for full time or contract work – rates TBD.
My resume is attached for your consideration and phone review.
The pleasure of a reply is appreciated. Call or write.
Thank you.
He attached his resume to this email.
Now of course he has no idea about what I do so how would he know he has anything to contribute to my organization? When I read it, I thought of the old lady in the freezer. Desperation makes you do dumb things, like shotgun a resume to as many email addresses as you can find.
And yet we've all been in the same predicament, haven't we? Stressed, facing a deadline, needing resources and having lots at stake. How can we prevent ourselves from looking desperate and also solve our problem? Here are some suggestions.
- Take a deep breath. Yeah I know this is somewhat of a cliché, but taking a deep breath causes oxygen to flow to our brain. Your solutions will start in your brain so don't starve it! Take a deep breath (or several) and focus on the solution.
- Take charge of your self talk. Start speaking rational language rather than emotional language to yourself. When you do that, move on to steps 3 and 4.
- What is worst case scenario? It may seem like a stress-increaser but if you at least own what could happen, you know where your solutions need to focus.
- What is the most likely scenario? This is where your thinking brain has to override the emotional one. Emotions will push you towards worst case scenario but the rational side of you should look at the most likely scenario. Often this is far better than you can imagine, but you won't know that if you're pulling the handle in the freezer rather than pushing it.
- Find yourself a support team. Facing an ominous scenario alone is like finding yourself in a bar fight against four other people. You need backup! At least find someone you can call to bounce ideas off. They might be able to give you a suggestion or point you to a resource.
- Take one positive first step towards solution. Don't worry about the huge problem. Focus on just one small step. It will give you confidence and move you closer to the bigger problem. "One step, one punch, one round at a time." (Rocky Balboa to Adonis Creed).
- Finally, remember Satchel Page's famous words "If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging." Or pulling on the handle. Or shotgunning your resume to everyone with a pulse and an email address.
None of us are going to be exempt from a crisis but how we handling it well gives us confidence for the next one and gains us a huge amount of respect from the people around us. Take a deep breath and think about that this week…

Major League Baseball tidbits and recommended reading:
Spring's Josh Beckett threw a signature game, a one-hit shutout of the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday before a sparse gathering of 19,388 at Tropicana Field. Beckett didn't walk a batter, with the only hit being a third-inning infield single by Reid Brignac. Beckett is 6-2 with an American League-leading 1.86 earned run average, with only 55 hits allowed in 92 innings. (Peter Abraham, Boston Globe)
Beckett is having a renaissance at age 31, having mastered the cut fastball that he threw with decidedly mixed results last season. (Gordon Edes, ESPNBoston.com)
Aided and abetted by the Astros the past two nights, the Pirates are a game above .500 at the latest point in a season since 1999. (Bill Brink, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette)
With Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez out of the lineup Wednesday, the Yankees still got home runs from all four infielders in a 12-4 victory against the Rangers. Mark Teixeira homered twice and Robinson Cano, Eduardo Nunez and Ramiro Pena also went deep. The only other Yankees infield quartet in history to go deep in one game, according to the Elias Sports Bureau, was Babe Dahlgren, Joe Gordon, Frank Crosetti and Red Rolfe on Aug. 22, 1939. (Mark Feinsand, New York Daily News)
Jhoulys Chacin, the Rockies' ace by default, has become a master of his Coors Field domain. Chacin allowed a run on three hits in six innings of a 6-3 victory against the Padres. In his past 15 starts at Coors, Chacin has a 2.34 ERA and .197 batting average allowed. Elias notes that those are lowest numbers over a 15-start span of any pitcher at Coors in the 17-year history of the venue. (Jim Armstrong, Denver Post)
The Marlins' collapse continued with a double-header sweep by the Phillies. Since 29-19 start, the Marlins have lost 17 of 20. Elias notes that the only team in the past 10 years to lost 17 of 20 after being 10 games above .500 was the Diamondbacks in June 2006. (Clark Spencer, Miami Herald)
Marlins manager Edwin Rodriguez may be on the hot seat, but he's not losing sleep over it. He never slept much in the first place. (Jerry Crasnick, ESPN.com)
Two rain delays cost Mets righthander Dillon Gee a chance to go to 8-0. Gee did throw four shutout innings that laid the foundation for a 4-0 victory Wednesday against the Braves that brought the Mets to .500. The Mets are 10-0 in Gee's starts this season. According to Elias, the last rookie whose team won his first 10 starts was Donne Wall of the 1996 Astros. The last pitcher to do so before that was Whitey Ford of the 1950 Yankees. (Andy Martino, New York Daily News).
No diva act this year, no drama. The Dodgers' Matt Kemp is simply playing like a Most Valuable Player. The Astros' next stop: Los Angeles, where they'll get another first-hand look at Kemp. (Ken Rosenthal, FoxSports.com)

"Niklas Gustavsson" <email@example.com> > It also fits really bad into a automated workflow, for example: > you have technical data in some format (e.g. CAD), automatically convert > this to SVG (creates a 400 kb file).

This is not a good solution. You don't seem to know that ASV 3 is a high performance dynamic SVG viewer (well it meets the relevant part here) if you open a large SVG document, then you will see content rendered whilst the rest of the SVG is being downloaded, if you look at http://www.showcaster.com/svg2.asp?venue=Showcaster&presentation=2513844& a=.svg (which is ~400k IIRC) you will see various details and a photo appear on the screen whilst the audio, and slide data is still being downloaded. This seems to meet your above situation without problem (and is all that flash has AIUI other than loadMovie for loading in new movies which is scripting) The way current SVG implementations differ from flash is with included content - flash can progressively "render" mp3's, ASV can't, you have to have the whole mp3 downloaded before it can play. That's not an SVG issue though. Jim.Received on Tuesday, 19 November 2002 07:52:29 UTC

Bye bye, boredom: new mobile app saambaa is ensuring that making plans with friends is as easy as 1, 2, 3.
Say you want to grab a few drinks at that new bar downtown tonight. With saambaa, you can set the destination and time, then send the plan a plan to a group of friends from your phonebook and chat about it. Your BFFs don't even need the app installed for saambaa to work – the game plan is sent as a free text message to recipients who don't have the app, and they can participate in a group chat SMS. The set-up makes it easy as ever to organize group plans or send a quick message about where you are.
We've all experienced the pain in getting a big group of friends together – especially if you're on a time crunch. Saambaa offers an intuitive, easy-to-use solution to creating near-term plans. The app enables people to quickly create and share plans with friends and discover what friends are doing so they can join in.
Founded by Matt Voigt, Mike Petanovitch and Christina Glavas in 2010, saambaa just enjoyed a 2-month tenure in Apple's Great Free Apps – and they were a featured startup at our Tech Cocktail San Diego mixer last week. The team's goal is to create a mobile social activity platform that gets the word out about events and happenings wherever you are – this 1) cures your what-to-do-on-a-Friday-night blues, and 2) takes a load off promotors who have trouble getting the word out about their events through smart, mobile-based word-of-mouth.
But what makes saambaa different from apps like Holler or Forecast? Saambaa is not strictly tied to Facebook or Foursquare, for one – the ability to invite users outside of the app is something that really sets saambaa apart. The app is also focused on getting you and your existing friend group connected at activities, events, and merchants, rather than connecting with random people in the immediate area.
One of my favorite parts about the app is its easy-going lingo: i.e. "Sarah's Going out @ Mad Hatter Restaurant & Bar. Are you in?" Saambaa provides streamlined, flexible, and easy-to-use place to see what's going on tonight – and who's in and who's out.
The free app is available for download now in the iPhone app store and Android market.

Artist Profile: Carol Salmanson
"Hercules Lite" replicated the form of architect Marcel Breuer's massive support column at Lehman College Art Gallery in a transparent, fluorescent-edged green plexiglass. It used light and suspension to contrast with Breuer's sense of weight, simultaneously calling attention to his achievement and entering into a dialog with it. It was included in Space Invaders, a show of eighteen different artists' site-specific installations curated by Karin Bravin.
Fluorescent edged plexiglass
96″ H x 82″ W x 82″ D
Neo-Gothic Rockets
The site-specific window installation "Neo-Gothic Rockets" was commissioned by the owner of 254 Park Avenue South for the corner windows of the second floor. The piece used light and reflective sheeting to play with the building's architecture, embossed medallions on its spandrels, and arrows on its sides. In daylight, the shapes of the building's ornamentation were used to create a shimmering composition of industrial reflective sheeting in primary colors. At night, these shapes were backlit by the geometric glow of secondary colors that created variations of the lines of the windows and mullions. Together they created a sense of movement, amplifying the building's architecture to mirror the urban rhythms of the neighborhood.
Prismatic reflective sheeting, gel filters, vellum, backlighting
East windows: 14′ (168″) wide x 11'2″ (134″) high
South windows: 15.75′ (189″) wide by 11'2″ (134″) high
Upon Reflection
5 stainless steel boxes whose recessed centers are lined with hidden fluorescent lights, and faced with LEDs beamed through prism rods for a jewel-like effect. The lights' reflection is caught in the stainless steel on either side. The boxes form a column to evoke a totemic, ethereal sensation.
LEDs, stainless steel, fluorescent lights, gel filters, prism rods
110" H x 21 3/4" W x 10 1/2" D
Gesture Drawing 10
Gesture Drawings are made of LEDs and fine wire. They have mirrored and diffused sheets of plexiglass layered over one another, maintaining space between them and embedded with various colors and shapes of LEDs into the top layer's two sides. Their wiring is on both sides as well, and the diffusion makes the wires on the bottom cast shadows visible from the top. The wires thus become gray lines and shadows that have the complex interplay of pencil drawings. I have been collecting many different colors, sizes and shapes of small LEDs, including some no longer made, with beautiful shapes such as "tombstones," and rectangles that are transparent from the side and diffused on the top.
LEDs, wire, plexi, mirrored mylar, gel filter, diffusion film
15"W x 15"W x .875"D
Calligraphic Transmissions Drawing
These gouache drawings layer gesture and rich color to capture the energy of light.
Gouache on Paper
9″ x 9″
I started working with light and reflective materials in 2003 to take the spatial and color concerns of my painting into a different realm. Light's unique ability to touch both mind and feelings yields a sensation of depth, one that opens into mysterious worlds.
Light both beams into you and envelops you. These very special qualities let me build emotional spaces that resonate with memory and experience. By amplifying and radiating color outward, into and around the viewer, I can build atmospheres, using color, line, and form in a way that goes beyond painting's two-dimensional limitations.
My large installations originate with the architecture of the sites they will inhabit. They are structural, concerned with the way that form, light, and reflected light merge to create a space that is artificial but not fictional: a stage set, lit from without and within. In my small works, my hand is visible. They have both spontaneity and hand-drawn lines, even though they're made from industrial materials such as LEDs, electronics components, plastics, and wire. Like painting, the work is deeply personal.
Painters have often talked about depicting light. Today's technology allows me to use light as medium as well as subject. In this sense, I am bringing new media into the context of the history of painting.

Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban to Marry, Create Kurbanby Free Britney at . Comments
Look out, TomKat: Kurbin is coming for you!
After finally announcing their engagement last month, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are on the verge of exchanging vows. The couple hase returned to Australia and confirmed it intends to tie the knot soon.
"We are very happy to be back in Australia," the film star and country music singer said in a brief joint statement. We have come home to celebrate our wedding with our family and friends."
The date and venue are yet to be confirmed, but rumors are swirling that the ceremony will be Catholic and will take place in Sydney on June 25.
The Australian media reported guests have been told to keep their schedules free for most of next week, as they'll only be told of the nuptials 24 hours ahead of the ceremony. That's more time than it took Kidman's ex-husband, Tom Cruise, to supposedly fall in love with Katie Holmes.
Kidman and Urban, both 38, met in January 2005 at a black-tie dinner in Los Angeles sponsored by the Australian government. Despite planning to get married in Sydney, the couple intend to live in Nashville, Tennessee, where the Grammy-winning Urban is based.
"I've moved to Tennessee for my personal life. I'm establishing my new home there," Kidman told a press conference in Shanghai on Sunday.

Food + Catering
Contact Info
If you saw how this food was prepared, you would never order from Ruth
Where to begin...I called her business phone twice in two days, left messages both times, and never heard back. A friend found me her cell phone number. I called and asked what dates she is open in October. She didn't know. She told me to book our venue and call her back because... Read More you can always get food. We booked our venue a couple days later so I called her back. She said she thought she had an event that day but would call me back and let me know for sure. I never heard back. So my fiancé called her and discussed having her just make the food and we would find someone to serve. She said that would work and she would mail us a menu. It never showed up. So he called her a couple more times, each time being told she lost his address and forgot. This was 2 weeks ago and still no menu. Finally my future mother in law called her for a menu and received it 2 days later! Apparently she couldn't be bothered with me or my fiancé. The best part was there were no prices on her menu, so we still don't have anything solved. This has been a 2 month ordeal now. I'm sure her food is great but she is a pain to deal with. We will be finding another caterer.
We had Ruth cater our wedding reception on 9/12/2015. We had a rustic farm themed wedding out on our farm in South Eastern Mn. We chose chicken breast in gravy, bone-in baked ham, baby red potatoes, sage dressing, green beans, fresh fruit salad, dinner rolls. The food was... Read More amazing and generous portions as we fed lots of farmers with healthy appetites. Her prices are reasonable and her team sets and packs up your leftovers after the meal is complete. We had many compliments on our meal and inquiries as to who it was and where she is located. We are so happy we chose her to make our weedding reception meal. Can't say enough good things about her cooking and her team of workers! Highly recommend her to anyone...
Wedding Reception MealReviewed on 7/29/2015 Jaymi S
Ruth is awesome!! My husband and I selected her baked chicken and ham meal with corn, baby red potatoes, salad, dinner rolls and we did a dessert bar. Her food is delicious and great value if you're looking to save $$. All of our guests were very happy with her meal!

Awesome Food for an Awesome PriceReviewed on 5/05/2011 Kellie H
Ruth has Great food, Great Service and all at a great price. And we got the left overs, which was a lot of food. Couldn't beat it anywhere.
So many compliments!Reviewed on 10/26/2010 Katie H
People were amazed and in love with her food! So delicious and very low cost!
Ruth Hurtgen Catering--More than a 5!!Reviewed on 9/28/2010 Melissa K
Amazing food! It melted in my mouth--so good! She had all the options I wanted and worked with me to have a perfect meal. The staff assisted exactly how I wanted and were efficient, timely and helpful! If you live anywhere near the Baldwin, WI area, pick this caterer!!

Samsung NX 45mm f/1.8 2D IF on NX20
Some people will call a 45mm a weird focal length on APS-C. It isn't: Here is why.
This is a typical sized 45mm f/1.8 (about the same as similar adapted SLR lens), with a nicely constructed metal body and manual focus switch. The mount is metal and so is the front ring. The filter threads and focus ring are plastic, but overall the lens has a very nice feel to it. I have seen at least one review refer to this lens as cheap, but it is just light weight, build quality is very nice. About the same build quality as the 16mm f/2.4, just larger overall.
The lens is internal focus, so the front element is fixed. Samsung also included a manual focus switch on the lens. This is preferable to menu diving to engage manual mode. The internal focus helps make the auto focus quicker as it doesn't have as much to move. Samsung was nice enough to include a hood, which is getting rarer these days. Unfortunately the design of the smaller Samsung lenses means it is a threaded hood that isn't reversible.
The lens uses standard 43mm filters, and has a nice 9 curved bladed aperture for smooth out of focus highlights. It is a modern lens design with 7 elements in 6 groups, and minimum focus is average at 0.45 m (17.72 inches), for 0.13x magnification. Weight is very light at 115 g (4.06 oz).
Optical Performance
Comments on the Results
Sharpness improves a lot from f/1.8 to f/2.8, but resolution is good at all settings. This means a little contrast boost if shooting wide open might be desirable in some situations.
Distortion is minor at about 0.5% barrel. It is a non issue for the most part with this lens, pretty typical for a 50mm class lens.
Lateral CA is noticeable, and worse than average for the class. Longitudinal CA is pretty noticeable, but probably average for this class of lens. This means some purple fringing and color halos. I notice them worse in the foreground out of focus areas (which are usually not desirable anyway).
Flare performance is respectable for the class. It is going to be better than most older 50mm class lenses, and similar to other current 50mm lenses. Shooting directly into the sun you will get some purple aperture ghosts and blobs.
I measured the focal length to be 48mm at 1:53 magnification.
Focus Speed on NX300
|Press to Shot
|Min to Focus
|Inf to Focus
|291 ms
|614 ms
|311 ms
Pros and Cons
- Resolution from f/1.8, corners by f/2.8
- Sharpness by f/2.8, corners by f/4
- Fast focus for class
- Smooth bokeh
- CA (both longitudinal and lateral)
- Hood design
Bottom Line
The lens is amazingly good. The bokeh is buttery smooth, with few issues (corners wide open are a bit busy), the lens focuses quick and precisely, and the build quality is very good. The only issue might be deciding if you need both this and the 30mm and 60mm 🙂 The focal length is noticeably tighter than the 30, and for practical purposes it is a 50mm class lens.
I love buying my lenses from BH Photo, they are a great source for Samsung gear in the US. They regularly stock the lenses, and if they don't have it they can usually get it within a few weeks.
NX300 photos are from Lightroom 5 Beta 1, and NX20 from LR4.4. I added some sharpening to photos.
6 Comments
Nice review Eric.
For the first of the Longitudinal CA tabs, did you mean to label it f/1.8 instead of f/1.4 ?
I think the af speed is not so fast,a little slower than the 30 2.0 pancake with firmware V1.21 .
And it is ok when on nx300,but if on nx11,the f2.0 is null,can only use f2.2 near f1.8
[…] Pełny test na: Samsung NX 45mm f/1.8 2D IF on NX20 : ERPhotoReview. […]
nice appraisal. compact, light, can imagine the focal length being rather useful.

One mother is wondering about the safety of a local waterpark after her daughter nearly loses a toe.
Kansas City , Kan. - A Kansas City, Kan., mother is wondering if it is safe to take her child back to the local water park, Schlitterbahn.
Wendy Briley said she and her 8-year-old daughter visited the Kansas City, Kansas park on Friday.
But the trip ended abruptly. She said left, headed for five and a half hours in the emergency room.
Briley said the trouble began when she and her daughter, Lauren Aycock, rode up the Mighty Mo. conveyor belt ride on her inner tube.
"Her feet were facing this way and we came down and the current flipped her around and her foot got stuck inside the conveyor belt and ripped her toe down under her body," Briley explained.
"When I got out of the water, I felt so much pain, I was crying and screaming," Lauren said.
Lauren's mom said lifeguards couldn't help, only whistle for First Aid.
"That's all they could do. I had to carry her with blood going everywhere," Briley said.
She drove her daughter to Providence Medical Center where emergency room doctors put the toes back together.
After 12 stitches, six hours in the hospital and thousands of dollars in medical bills, her mom wants something done.
Schlitterbahn released this statement in response:
"We are in touch with the family to provide what assistance we can…As a matter of course the conveyor is inspected every day prior to opening. We are investigating this incident to identify how this happened."
But Lauren's mom thinks that's not enough.
"I have not spoken with them yet but I posted on Facebook yesterday because I wanted parents to know this is happening because someone else is going to have something more dangerous than just a toe ripped off," Briley said.

The story of the Aero-Tray
I am Norman Korpi, an artist and writer living in Los Angeles, my work and interests in life keep me mobile and often on many planes and trains. I love to travel and my subject matter is mostly landscapes.
About 4 years ago I was traveling and I couldn't use my laptop when the person in front of me reclined their seat. I sat there for the 4-hour flight thinking there was a lot of strain on my hand while holding a book or my iPhone to watch a film. My idea was born. I tested several mock-ups and then started making drawings and filling for a patent. I made upgrades on the design and as travelled, people took notice and I added more features as I went along. I began to call it the Aero-Tray. Although this can't do everything for everybody, this handy workstation platform can do a lot.
I have been supporting this journey over the last several years with the sale of my artwork. The Aero-Tray has been in development over the last 4 years. I filed for a utility patent back in 2009 and in last April 2013 I was granted the US PATENT.
I was fortunate enough to meet LifeGear Design in March of this year who immediately took interest in my invention and assisted me in taking the product into development and bridge the gap in production and manufacturing. With little to no funding, I decided to launch a Kickstarter campaign at the very end of September, with the hopes of raising enough money to be able to complete a mold I needed to get our Aero-Tray produced in the most economical way. We launched the campaign on September 29, 2013 and it ran until November 1, 2013. Our goal was to raise $23, 667.00. We ended up raising a total of $38, 972.00 and our project was successfully funded at 165% with 441 backers.
TravelSmith, the leading shopping website & catalogue for all things travel took interest in my invention and we are now going to be able to have Aero-Tray for sale quicker than we had expected. Beginning November 14, 2013, Aero-Tray will be for sale on www.TravelSmith.com. We also have signed on with Di Moda Public Relations who will be launching our PR campaign in November as well. And the story of Aero-Tray continues.

I would first like to thank and commend Trustee Patti Bacchus for her service as Chair of the Vancouver School Board.
I made a difficult decision in voting for a School Board chair at my first meeting on December 8, and one that I believe is in the best interests of our students. I admire Trustee Bacchus' advocacy work for public education, but over the last six years our School Board and the Provincial Government have entrenched their positions. I am hopeful that a new approach under a new School Board chair will improve funding.
Vancouver voters brought change to the School Board. No one party has a majority, in part because three Vision incumbents were not re-elected. After six consecutive years with Trustee Bacchus as chair and chief spokesperson for the Board, I wanted to reflect the public's desire for change in my vote for chair, and made this clear in my meetings with the Vision and NPA School Board caucuses prior to the December 8 meeting. I also explained that I think the chair should be rotated over the course of the next four years, to reflect the more evenly balanced membership of the board.
In voting for Trustee Richardson I did not align myself with the NPA. The chair must represent the School Board and the decisions made by the Board, even if they did not vote for that decision. As a three-time Park Board Commissioner I believe Trustee Richardson fully understands this role and responsibilities.
School trustees are elected to a four year term, but the chair is elected annually, and can be replaced at any time by a majority vote. The chair does not appoint the five Committee Chairs, where important work gets done; the Board votes on these appointments. I support a good balance for the Committee Chairs.
All trustees, and the public as a whole, understand that public schools need for more funding from the Provincial Government. I believe the nine trustees will all use our strengths, experience and expertise to collaborate on working towards this goal. Other common goals we share are feeding hungry children, completing long overdue seismic upgrades as quickly as possible, increasing childcare spaces in schools, and supporting all of our students in reaching their full potential.
I will vote independently based on Green values and my own conscience. I will not vote for Chevron funding because the use of fossil fuels is causing climate change and harming our children's future, because such funding comes with strings attached such as the possibility of advertising in schools, and because the funding is tied to sales of gas. I will not vote to close schools. I will vote to prepare a restoration budget.
During my term I have much to learn about Vancouver's school system. I need to learn from all points of view; from my fellow trustees, educators, district staff, the unions, community partners, as well as parents and students. I am indebted to Vancouver's teachers for their support of students during their recent job action. I have and will continue to support and stand behind our teachers.
Vancouver has great schools and I ran for trustee to make them even better for our students. The core of the Green Party School Platform is fully funded public schools, and as a trustee I will do my very best to ensure full funding for our students.
