An Introduction to Square-Foot Gardening
Published on - April 21st, 2007 (Modified on - April 23rd, 2007) (by J.D. Roth)
I grew up in the country — gardening meant a large plot, plowed and raked, and then planted with long, widely-space rows of vegetables. It also meant weeding and hoeing, weeding and hoeing. Gardening was a chore.
When Kris and I bought our first home, we both wanted a vegetable garden, but we didn't want the drudgery that came with it. Besides, we didn't have a big space in the country — we had an average city lot. Fortunately, we discovered Mel Bartholomew's Square-Foot Gardening.
The square-foot gardening concept is simple: Build a raised bed, divide the space into sections of one square-foot each, and then plant vegetables (and/or flowers) in just the amount of space they need. The advantages of this system include reduced workload, less watering, easy weeding (and not much of it), and easy access to your crops. This is a great way to learn to grow some of your own food.
Our raised beds were similar to these (photo by johnyaya)
We built our square-foot garden one Saturday in mid-April. I spent the morning constructing three raised beds out of two-by-sixes. Each bed was twelve feet long, four feet wide, and twelve inches tall. I am not a handyman, yet I was able to build these in just a few hours. It was fun.
Digging was less fun. I spent the afternoon double-digging three patches in our lawn. We maneuvered the frames into place, leveled them, and then filled them with rich soil (purchased from a nearby nursery-supply center). Finally, we created a grid over each bed using tacks and twine. When we were finished, our raised beds looked similar to the one my friends Andrew and Courtney built recently:
After we built the raised beds and outlined the growing space, we followed the guidelines in Bartholomew's book. (A revised edition was published last year. It's lovely, but if I were looking for this book I'd buy the older version, which is available cheap. Your public library should even have a copy — it's a classic.)
According to the official site, the ten basic tenets of square-foot gardening are:
- Layout. Arrange your garden in squares, not rows. Lay it out in 4′x4′ planting areas.
- Boxes. Build boxes to hold a new soil mix above ground.
- Aisles. Space boxes 3′ apart to form walking aisles.
- Soil. Fill boxes with Mel's special soil mix: 1/3 blended compost, 1/3 peat moss, and 1/3 coarse vermiculite.
- Grid. Make a permanent square foot grid for the top of each box. A MUST
- Care. NEVER WALK ON YOUR GROWING SOIL. Tend your garden from the aisles.
- Select. Plant a different flower, vegetable, or herb crop in each square foot, using 1, 4, 9, or 16 plants per square foot.
- Plant. Conserve seeds. Plant only a pinch (2 or 3 seeds) per hole. Place transplants in a slight saucer-shaped depression.
- Water. Water by hand from a bucket of sun-warmed water.
- Harvest. When you finish harvesting a square foot, add compost and replant it with a new and different crop.
You might, for example, plant a single tomato in a square, but you'd plant 16 carrots in another. Using this system, you can cram a lot of garden into a small space and still get excellent yields. For more information, check out:
- Journey to Forever: Building a square-foot garden (excellent tutorial!)
- Steven and Paula Hicks: Our square-foot gardening experience
- GardenWeb: Square-foot gardening forum
- Tim's square-foot gardening page
If you don't have the time or space to construct raised beds, consider starting a container garden. We've never done this, but I've heard reports from apartment-dwellers that good results can be achieved from plants grown in large self-watering pots on a patio or balcony. (Edit: In the comments, Beth recommends the book The Bountiful Container for those interested in the subject.) Find more information at these sites:

Now's the time to get your garden space ready. The danger of frost has passed in many parts of the United States. Garden fairs and plant sales have begun to pop up like weeds. Get out there and grow some food!
This article is about DIY, Food, House and Home
We built our raised beds last week and are going to be getting them into position this weekend. My dh bought Square Foot Gardening for Christmas this year, I love it! We just moved and knew we had to start from scratch. We are currently trying to figure the best place to put them that will get the most sun. We have a wooded lot and will be taking down trees to help get more sun. I can't wait to start growing things!
I've been square foot gardening for years.
Rather than double dig all that ground, I just laid newspapers and (livestock) feed bags on the ground and covered them with good soil. I bought a truckload of mushroom compost from a local mushroom farm for my soil.
Be sure to mulch, and if you install drip irrigation on a timer you can be a lazy gardener, like me.
I love Sq. foot gardening! Especially the information about growing musk melons on trellises. I've never had the chance to try it out yet.
I've been doing square foot gardening for three years now. It is so simple, and I'm still amazed by the amount of food that can be grown in such little space. I have two 4×4 beds and end up giving food away every year. Planting a few marigolds and sprinkling some red pepper flakes have kept most of the pests at bay and weeding has been minimal. By the time the garden fills in there is no room for weeds. Square foot is to gardening, what index funds are to investing: good returns, minimal effort, no guess work, and low cost.
Can you plant marigolds with any/all veggies or are there certain ones you should be careful with? Also, what pests are deterred by red pepper flakes. Sounds super easy! My tomatoes were infested last year with stink bugs. Would be great if it helped with that.
"For all things produced in a garden, whether of salads or fruits, a poor man will eat better that has one of his own, than a rich man that has none."
-J.C. Loudon, An Encyclopedia of Gardening (1826)
Wow, BillInDetroit should do his own gardening blog! I bet it would be great!
Anyway, J.D., all I wanted to add is that I found it a little funny that you recommended passing up the newest edition of Square Foot Gardening, but then lamented the amount of digging you had to do. The new edition has a new soil-enrichment method that doesn't require digging into the existing soil! Heh! Oh well, hard work is good for ya.
The great thing about this type of gardening is that it is so adaptable to any shape or size of container or bed that you want to have.

You can grow most anything in a container on your patio/balcony. I've had success growing tomatoes, carrots, hot peppers, eggplant, zucchini, yellow squash, scallions and tons of herbs. Buy the plants at a decent nursery. Invest in some large plastic self-waterning pots (with the chamber at the bottom).
If you don't care for the expense of a self-watering pot, you can poke a small hole in the cap of a soda-pop bottle, fill the bottle and upend it in the soil surface near the plant. Make sure the hole is small, though … about 1/8″ or less … so the bottle doesn't empty all at once. Most plants don't need "dunk & dry" … but grow most rapidly when the soil is kept uniformly moist. And constant healthy growth will thwart a lot of bug & disease attacks before they even get started.
Many times you will see advice to wait until leaves droop before watering. That's too late … the plant is already stressing and weakened. Bugs & disease are how nature clears out weak plants. During the heat of the day it is natural for plants to conserve moisture by wilting simply because their roots can not supply enough water some days despite adequate levels of soil moisture. But if they are still wilted after the heat of the day, they are water-stressed and the bugs are on the way.
The nice thing about the bottle is that it's easy to glance over and check whether you need more or not.
The self-watering pots can look nicer, but the key point is to get water to the soil at the root level or beyond.

Hey there. I see it's been awhile since the last post, but I have a question I hope someone will answer for me. I have just built a raised bed. It is 2′ tall, 6 x 3′ and I have it filled with lasagna layers up to about 4-6″ from the top. Should I fill the thing completely, or leave some room at the top? Mel talks about "side dressing" some things with compost, which I take to mean scooping some compost around the plants. The Lasagna Gardening lady also mentions this. So should I leave the room at top or no?
No. Fill it. In fact, crown it over.
Then rake it slightly concave to assure maximum absorption / minimum run-off of water. The edges should be slightly higher than the center.
The lower layers WILL recede enough by fall that, even crowned over, there will be room to dig in additional material.
I garden in wooden boxes. My boxes are 2′ deep by 4′ by 20′ and I am speaking from approx. 10 years experience with them.
In the fall, cap them with as much compost as you have … ready or not (this is a new garden so you won't have much, if any, that is finished) and then, in the spring, work that cap DEEPLY into the soil -at least the depth of your spading fork- to finish composting (think 'green manure' … in fact, Google the term). Then plant and, once the plants are up and identifiable, mulch to a minimum depth of two inches, preferably 4, keeping the mulch slightly back from the tender young stems. To the extent possible, keep the mulch this thickness … it will subside over the season from moisture loss, vibrations of the earth and earthworms eating the bottom of the layer.
Ignore advice to let the soil dry out between waterings … the maximum growth and yield come from uninterrupted growth and this requires constant availability of moisture. This is also one way of avoiding blossom end rot (hard black spots) on tomatoes. (Working dried eggshells into the compost pile will keep the soil calcium levels up, but moisture is required to get it to the fruit.)

What should I add to my SFG before planting
for the summer?
Can one grow corn in a SFG?
SFG is definently the way to go – would of never gotten into gardening without it. Great article, though I think the new book is the better one to buy (even if it is a couple bucks more).
~plantgirl of http://squarefootgardenblog.com
I bought the new book for $5 at dollar general.
Happy gardening
Thanks for all the invaluable advice. About to start, but due to back problems am getting the hard work done for me. Has anyone ever block built the beds for SFG? Want something permanant without much/any maintenance.
[...] An Introduction to Square Foot Gardening at Get Rich Slowly. Ah, the post that started it all! For those that weren't around I took on my own square foot gardening project based on J.D.'s post. My own "how-to" post was featured on Lifehacker.org, and 15,000 overnight visitors later Frugal Dad took off. Interestingly enough, this article remains one of my most popular posts, as does J.D.'s at his own blog. [...]
It seems to me like square foot gardening would combine very naturally with the theories behind self-watering containers. Has anyone tried to build a square-foot garden with some kind of water reservoir and wicking system on the bottom?
And how about modifying the construction so it could be used as a cold frame (some way to put a glass roof on it for the late winter to start seeds early). I just moved to Colorado and maximizing my short growing season and minimizing water use are a priority. Thanks for any help!
Raise the boxes higher than for SFG. Orient them east-west so that the south side of the box is the long one to capture max heat from the sun. Keep a LOT of rotting vegetable material / manures worked into the soil as a natural heat source. We just had a pretty hard (and very late) frost in Mich. while I was out of town and I lost NOTHING. All I had for heat was some half-finished compost … but my beds are ~2 ft above the ground and the cold air sinks BELOW the level of the plants.
You can certainly make a cold frame from salvaged windows / patio doors that is more than serviceable.
I can recommend the Irrigro (tyvek tape) low pressure weep irrigation system. It has always worked well for me … my plants never realize that we have a drought every July / August … they just keep plowing ahead. The tomatoes, especially love it.
Keep LOTS of mulch on top of the soil to minimize water loss. I plant, lay the tyvek in place, adjust the water flow to just enough to keep the tape a little 'weepy' and apply a thick mulch over everything. Done. Few weeds – no drought stress – great yields.
Thanks for the advice! I think building the boxes high up is a great idea, and I was just thinking last night that since I'm going to have to replace the windows in my home soon, I could adapt them to put a temporary cold frame over the whole structure to grow from seeds and then remove it when they get too tall. Temperature here drops all summer long, so the more time I can give them…

This will be my first vertical garden. I want to trellis pick-n-pick yellow crookneck squash from Burpee. Will it take to a trellis?
If not, I can trellis butternut, but I'm going to plant new seeds for the trellis, and crookneck is what I don't have much of.

Wasn't crazy about the room but the beds were extremely comfortable. View from higher floors is amazing. Customer Service is top-notch. Train station isn't the closest - a few blocks away. But Julu Rd is one block away which has lots of boutique shops and Japanese and Chinese higher end restaurants.

I am diamond Hilton member, and I always want to try out this hotel, but I prefer the Nanging Road pedestrian area, so I never stay here, this is the first time I used priceline.com and when I got the bid for this Hilton hotel, I was very happy. Will definitely book with priceline again and hopefully I will win the bid to stay at this Hilton Hotel again.

World Wetlands Day 2001: Pakistan
Dear Ramsar People:
I hope that the following text and the attached graphics files in JPEG format are of use to you . . . . . The first file is the project logo and the second shows the relationship between Broghil Lake in the Northern Areas territory and the wetlands in adjacent Afghanistan, Tajikistan and China - all part of the crucially important Upper Indus Flyway.
Pakistan will be celebrating World Wetlands Day on February 2nd, 2001 by holding a National Workshop on Wetlands Conservation in the capital city, Islamabad. The inaugural address will be given by the country's progressive Minister of Environment, The Honourable Omar Asghar Khan. The occasion will be attended by around 145 of Pakistan's leading conservationists and representatives of prominent NGOs.
This national event follows a series of four regional workshops which were held in each of the wetlands eco-regions identified during the planning phase of the Protection and Management of Pakistan Wetlands Project. The initiative is being supported by the United Nations Development Programme and the Global Environment Facility. It is the planning phase of a project whose primary objective is to develop a series of sustainable, community-based management models for three or four globally important wetlands complexes in Pakistan.
Pakistan's Federal Ministry of Environment is the executing agency for the project and has appointed WWF-Pakistan to implement the programme. Progress made by mid-January, 2001, included the design and commissioning of a comprehensive wetlands database by the staff of WWF's Geographic Information System Laboratory. The database now houses comprehensive data for 115 of the country's wetlands. Satellite images have been used to identify and plot some of the less known wetlands in the high alpine, northern regions of the country.
During the next phase, rapid ecological and socio-economic surveys will be carried out on a short-list of 10 - 12 wetlands from which the final choice will be made for the long-term project proposal to the Global Environment Facility.
For more information about the project contact Pakistan's Wetlands Team at firstname.lastname@example.com
Kind regards
Richard Garstang, Project Manager, Protection and Management of Pakistan Wetlands Project, c/o WWF-Pakistan, Ferozepur Road Box 5180 Lahore - 54600

Another location to find current events in Shambhala International is at The Shambhala Times.
Sep 9, 2012
The Sakyong, Jamgon Mipham Rinpoche, concluded his summer cycle of teaching last week with a Shambhala Sadhana feast practice at Dechen Choling. In the previous four and a half months, he had given more than 120 talks and abhishekas to assemblies and gatherings attended by some 5,000 people (not including online audiences) from 25 countries.
During the feast, Richard Reoch, the President of Shambhala, gave a vivid overview of the Sakyong's teaching, the direction in which he is leading our community, and a foretaste of what is to come.
The president began by recalling that on Shambhala Day, the Sakyong had declared: "There is no small version of Shambhala."
"And you," the president said, "are the living -- and disturbing -- manifestation of that truth!"
The Sakyong requested that the film of the president's remarks be shared with the whole community. Please visit: http://fromourpresident.shambhalatimes.org to see the film and an edited transcript of the President's remarks, posted on his column, "From Our President," on Shambhala Times.

CHICAGO (WTAQ) - A federal appeals court will not reconsider a Rhinelander family's claim that its religious freedom was violated.
The Jaros family has been stymied for almost a decade in its effort to open a bible camp and conference center on Squash Lake in the Oneida County town of Woodboro.
Town and county governments said no to the required permits for the project, saying it did not meet conditions for proper zoning.
The Jaros family said the denials violated their rights under a 13-year-old federal law. They said it forbids the denial of religious land use through zoning, so people can carry out their religious beliefs.
In February, Madison federal judge William Conley disagreed that the Jaros' religious rights were violated. A three-judge appellate panel ruled the same way in October.
This week, the full Seventh Circuit Appeals Court in Chicago said it would not hold a rehearing in the case.
Meanwhile, the family has filed a new state lawsuit in Oneida County. A hearing in that matter has yet to be scheduled.

The Best in the World? Not for Much Longer
A DERBY defeat is bad enough, but a second in less than a week is an indignity: particularly if the team on the losing end is what some observers regard as the best team in the world. Yet that is the reality facing Fútebol Club Barcelona. There are a number of reasons I believe which have contributed to this scenario, some of which are unfortunate, but a number of which could have been avoided.
To start with, I must make two admissions which are likely to startle. I was never the biggest fan of Josep Guardiola as coach at Camp Nou, and I have very little faith in the reign of Sandro Rosell, the current club president. To avoid this piece taking the form of a rambling rant, I will only address what I feel are a few key areas.
The first of these is the most controversial: what Pep got wrong. History will reflect on Guardiola as a truly special coach who made the world look in awe at his work with FC Barcelona and even claim that it was football perfection. This is very much appropriate.
However, for every great win and dominating performance there was a questionable decision or risk which didn't quite pay off. Despite promotion to the first team, Bojan Krkić left the club in a far less romantic manner than the traditional La Masia success story. Now the Catalan is playing at AC Milan, and the young forward may be justified a wry grin if his current employers do manage to complete the work they started in Milan against the 'blaugrana' last week. Bojan was not the atypical silky striker, not every player who graduates from an academy even as illustrious as Barça's can. Yet Bojan is exactly the kind of antidote they could do with having in their squad as an ailing Davíd Villa, lacklustre Alexís Sanchez and overburdened Lionel Messi all experience an inconvenient drop in form just as they faced a double-header at their seemingly manic arch-rivals Real Madrid.
Yet Bojan, and his predecessor Samuel Eto'o and successor Zlatan Ibrahimovic all fell foul of Pep's master plan. The title wins would suggest Pep was right, but perhaps these risks are starting to backfire, just at the time when Tito, the tactician under Guardiola, is sadly going through a period of poor health. Courageous though it has been to see Jordi Roura try to ensure continuity while Tito is indisposed, the tools simply are not there to carry on the world-beating football which many have admired.
Another ingenuity which appears to be stuttering somewhat is the concept of taking defensive-midfielders and applying them at centre-half when required. Javier Mascherano, Sergi Busquets and Alexandre Song have all been applied thusly at some point, but when you have youth prospects such as Marc Muniesa waiting patiently in the wings it appears a bizarre concept.
Linked to this are the seemingly political and PR-friendly decisions which the club has made under the leadership of current president Sandro Rosell. As a former executive at sportswear giant Nike, Rosell is no doubt aware of how to make a brand maximise its potential. There are admirable examples of this with the upcoming 'peace match' which will see Barcelona field a team against a side made up of Palestinian and Israeli football players in an attempt to improve cohesion and integration amidst the ingoing conflict. There are others which have been unpopular, such as the sponsorship deal with Qatar Foundation, and other which have clearly boosted the brand, such as the homecoming of Francesc Fábregas.
Though the return of Cesc was welcomed enthusiastically by the Barça family, it cost a significant amount of money, and the biggest issue with that is that he was not a sure-fire starter by any means. Yet he is neither young enough to still be considered a hot prospect, nor gifted enough to be seen as a talisman. He is not the replacement for Xavi Hernandez in my view, and is certainly not more effective than his contemporaries in the midfield: he stands in the way of Thiago who has worked his way through the youth ranks and I believe is a better option. Buying success is not the FCB way, so why has it been so common recently for the club to spend vast sums on Henry, Zlatan, Chygrinskiy, Caceres, Cesc and Alexís to name a few.
The worst of these was the decision to sign attacker Keirrison da Souza from Palmeiras and defender Henriques. While the centre-back made cameo appearances in between loan spells at Bayer Leverkusen and Racing Santander among others, he did not play a single full season at Camp Nou. As for Keirrison, he did not even manage to earn a single appearance for his parent club, and is currently seeing out the rest of what was a long-term deal in his native Brasil.
This merely creates a situation where the big-names expect to play while the 'cantera' wait for their chances to play. It has the effect of making these young starlets seem not as capable in comparison.
Both Andreu Fontàs and Issac Cuenca have both been loaned out, primarily for first-team football and experience, though when previous youth-turned-senior players such as Marc Crosas were sent elsewhere to continue their development, they did not succeed in breaking into the coveted FC Barcelona first team.
The third aspect which the club should address urgently is caused by something not even world-beaters can prevent, age. Captain Carles Puyol has recovered from two serious leg injuries in recent seasons and his leadership cannot be questioned. Yet both he and Xavi are not getting any younger, and there is no apparent candidates getting enough game time to show they are ready to succeed them. Gerard Pique for all his talent has other commitments, and the aforementioned Muniesa has been unlucky with both bad-timing and injury.
Meanwhile, Victor Valdes has stated his intention not to renew his contract. He made it clear early enough to allow the club time to seal a replacement, yet number-two keeper Pinto is older, and none of Oier, Masip or Banuz appear to have had enough faith put into them to be promoted and eased into the senior team. Which leaves them looking to splash out yet again on a player in a critical position.
On the other hand, it is not all bad news. The security of Puyol, Xavi and Messi all pledging their long-term future will ensure the team stays at least in part, capable of winning titles and challenging the European elite. The hope is that Vilanova will recover and be allowed to continue his plan which was so sadly interrupted, and that perhaps the current crop of home-grown talent which the club markets itself on with pride, will exhibit the brilliance of those that went before them.
To their credit, the squad can still boast the exceptionally talented Andres Iniesta, whom many have regarded as second only to Messi in his class, and the ever-versatile Adriano. They have the effervescent Jordi Alba, who like Cesc, returned home to his boyhood club, and in Thiago, Tello, Dos Santos, Bartra and Montoya have the potential to breed another indigenous Barça super-team. Deulofeu is among a number of Barça B players who would be expected to make the step up to the first team sooner rather than later.
In the short term it appears another Prìmera title is secure, they remain in contention for the Champions League and their nemesis José Mourinho is due to leave in the summer, so the opportunity is there for FCB to block the resurgence of their heated foes. Only time will tell.
Decisions will have to be taken though, however unpopular or unorthodox they may seem at the time, for the long-term prosperity of the club. Best team in the world? Watch this space to see how long that sentiment rings true.

Meet The Trainer: Nedra Lopez
Written on December 28, 2012 at 11:40 am , by Jenna Autuori
Less than a decade ago, Nedra Lopez moved to the Big Apple to work at the UN by day and wait tables at night. Things have drastically changed since then and our fit bods are thankful for it! After being recruited by Equinox, Nedra became one of their top trainers. Now, as the co-owner of The Studio at Remorca Fitness, Nedra implements a variety of disciplines in her unique class design. It's no surprise there's been a lot of client buzz raving about her holistic approach. "I am the type of person who loves what I do for a living because I love to help people and love to help them find balance," she told us.
Nedra helped target all-over trouble zones (yes, more than just your core!) with the stability ball in October's issue. Between butt burners and dolphins, Nedra revealed her workout trend do's and don'ts, the celeb she'd love to shape up and even shared her fave, must-do move. Read on to learn more about Nedra.
Most of us are New York City transplants, so tell me how you made your way and landed in the Big Apple?
My Mom is originally from New York so I spent a lot of time growing up visiting New York and fell in love. I always said I would live here some day so after college I made it happen!
Did you always want to be a personal trainer? How long have you been a fitness instructor?
Fitness has been a part of my life for 15 years. My Dad was an avid workout-fanatic. He had a no-nonsense approach to health and fitness: "You either start young and make it a part of your life or wait until you are older and struggle to find balance." I started taking fitness classes and certifications in college at the University of Colorado in an attempt to always stay active. I never thought anyone would ever take me seriously as a fitness expert since I spent my time in the gym surrounded by men in the weight room and moms in classes. Teaching fitness was something I did on the side for fun and I loved every second of it! I was told to be a "professional" like a lawyer or doctor. A "personal trainer" was not something my family would ever accept…so I thought! Once I moved to NYC, I worked at the UN during the day and at night at a restaurant waiting tables. NYC is so much more expensive than CO so I did what was needed to survive! Though given my hectic work schedule, I still found time to hit the gym and apparently people noticed! I was recruited by Equinox to become a trainer and still remember breaking the news to my boss at the UN, who said I was making a big mistake. I never looked back and never worked so hard in my life! I became one of the top trainers at Equinox in only three months and maintained that status all three years I was there! I have been an instructor and trainer going on six years now. Read more

Police in a five-hour long standoff at a housing project in lower Manhattan have determined the suspect was not there.
Cops said a warrant squad went to 40 Madison St. in search of a 31-year-old suspect who refused to come out at about 8 a.m. on Wednesday.
Hours later officers on the scene said the man's mother and other family members were inside the apartment but not the suspect, according to police.
As many as four people including children were believed to have been inside and refused to let police in.
"Younger voices (were heard) in there," added Browne.
Cops taped-off the entrance to the apartment building. It is not clear if the suspect lives in the building.
The man is facing possible indictment in the death of Pace University student Max Moreno in September 2010.
Moreno was killed inside 2 Gold Street in lower Manhattan in a narcotics related hit, said Browne.

When it comes to motocross, few do it as well as 14-year-old Noah Skinner.
But that wasn't always the case for the Bunn native.
Skinner said the sport did appeal to him at first.
"I didn't like the noise it made and I was intimidated by it," Skinner said. "So, it took forever for me to get on it and then I finally got on it and I couldn't get off."
Skinner tried other sports including hockey but he kept going back to motocross.
It appears he made the right choice. Skinner is one of the top dirt bike performers in the nation and later this month, he'll head to Tennessee for the amateur nationals.
Mark Czysz of North Carolina Motorcross Park said Skinner will face a tough challenge in Tennessee.
"The fastest motocrossers are right here in the U.S. and that goes for the amateur ranks and the pros. So rest assured when he's on the line he'll be racing against the 39 other fastest kids in that class," Czysz said.
A solid performance in Tennessee could bring Skinner's future into focus.
"Everybody wants to turn pro, everybody wants to be the next big guy and I'll go as far as it lets me," Skinner said.

Digital photography printing is just a click away with the help of Pittsburg based MPIX, a brand of Miller's Professional Imaging. The company is seeing an increase in business and with the increased demand comes a demand for an expansion.
"When I started here in '97, it was film - everything was film - I mean digital was unheard of and now it has just taken over," says Miller's employee Amy Ashcraft. "We have, like, one film processor running."
For Ashcraft the new addition was well received. She says the expansion and remodeling is more welcoming and less chaotic.
"The machinery just keeps growing and we just keep getting more and more machinery," Ashcraft says. "We were basically on top of each other in the old area."
"More and more we're seeing paper press type products," says Miller's President Todd Coleman. "Higher demand for things like greeting cards and calendars and photobooks and things of that nature. So, the equipment it takes to make these products is a lot larger and we didn't have space for it."
Coleman says the $4 to $5 million expansion makes the building a 28,000 square foot area with room to grow, something he does anticipate.
"We knew we needed to be very flexible and needed to be able to do anything we wanted to with it," says Coleman. "We also built the far wall to the south so that we could add on to this building with very little effort."
Work is still being done to the building including the addition of windows and landscaping.
Coleman says renovations and expansions on the current building made more sense due to the demand for product.
The company's expansion will add an additional 15 employees.

SPOKANE – The biggest shoe at Bloomsday won't be on someone's foot.
Local balloon artist Ryan Oelrich crafted a giant running shoe entirely out of balloons.
It's the size of a mini-van.
The creation took 176 balloons and four hours to put together.
Oelrich made the shoe to promote Epilepsy awareness. Epilepsy is a neurological seizure disorder that Oelrich had as a child.
The shoe is on display at River Park Square through Sunday.

EL PASO (KDBC) — New economic development could be on its way to the mission valley, the county of El Paso reached an agreement with the city to review several plans that could benefit businesses in the area.
County commissioners will decide on the approval of a development plan in the mission valley that would bring grant funds to business owners.
The mission valley will now be part of the city of El Paso's zoning and development plan, the county of El Paso reached an inter-local agreement that will allow the county to expand its projects.
"The county does not have an economic development department and it would be too expensive for us to begin one, we fund two full time individuals who focus on economic development outside the city limits" County Commissioner Vince Perez said.
This program would benefit areas like San Elizario, Maya Sanchez with the San Eli incorporation efforts group says it's the right time to make the plans a reality
"it's something that El Paso county has been wanting to do for years, I'm just hopeful that this time it will actually be something that comes off paper and in to the community" Sanchez said.
The project is expected to fund businesses improvements in the area, explore the option of bringing hotels, motels, restaurants and art galleries.
"We're starting with approximately 100 thousand dollars to help businesses that are currently located along the mission trail corridor with façade so if they like to improve the exterior of their building to make it more attractive to customers this funding is available for them" Perez added.
Commissioner Vince Perez says approving the plan is important to increase tourism in the area and offer more attractions to the public.
"There's great private investments so far there's not a lot of public investment and that's where it is I hope we can do a better job of getting the public sector involved and to encourage growth in some of these areas but there's a lot of potential with all the history, there's a lot of potential for ecotourism" Perez concluded.

If you are interested in joining the Army, Medaille College has an ROTC Army program that is available for attending students.
Army ROTC is a college program that can pay for school while preparing you to be an officer in either the Active, Reserve or National Guard component of the U.S. Army upon completion of your college degree. It provides standard college classes that focus on the broader aspects of college life and life after college while also teaching basic military skills. Through Army ROTC, you will attain valuable training in leadership, time management, team building, and the keys for academic and life success. Army ROTC is beneficial to all students regardless if they decide to pursue a military or civilian career.
Medaille College has a special cross-enrollment, tuition-free arrangement with other area colleges for students desiring leadership education through the Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) Program.
ROTC commissioning programs typically imply elective classes in addition to required college curriculum, possible funding for your tuition, and an obligation to serve upon graduation.
It is important to keep in mind that enrolling in a ROTC course does not commit you to serve unless you have received a ROTC scholarship, grant, or any other funding.
For more details, as well as scholarship and other financial assistance information on this program, contact the Office of Veterans and Military Affairs at (716) 932-2543 or email Sergio Rodriguez at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The instructors were knowledgeable and welcomed class discussions, with
respect for each student's contribution. I've learned how to be a more
effective leader. My capstone class gave insight on how to combine all
the education learned to operate a business. That's when I realized how
much I had sharpened my knowledge.

In this hi-res image from "Splice", Canadian actress Sarah Polley approaches a half-human, half-animal hybrid that she and another scientist helped create. As with most things of this nature, the beautiful creature eventually turns on its creators and things get deadly. Directed by Vincenzo Natali ("Cube") and produced by Guillermo Del Toro ("Pan's Labyrinth"), "Splice" will have its American debut at the Sundance Film Festival in January, before going wide across Europe in early 2010.
Check out the official site for Darren Lynn Bousman's remake of "Mother's Day".
Here's 3 clips from "The Stepfather" remake about to descend on multiplexes across the country. Good lord, this is not going to end well for anyone.
The one-sheet for "Daybreakers", a futuristic vampire film starring Ethan Hawke, landed on MTV today. Very "Matrix"-like... interesting.
New stills from Vincenzo Natali's "Splice"... aka, "running with cats"? I'm just as confused as you are, but I know that this film looks prettye excellent. No word on US distribution yet but we'll let you know as soon as we find out.
What kind of an asshole smoker donates his lungs for an organ transplant?
Move along maam, that's just a naked, pasty white man dancing on your air-conditioning unit. Nothing to see here.
This is a really great endorsement for cremation.
Methinks if you're impersonating Michael Jackson and you have to use blackface, something's not quite right.
A renowned thinker in the world of Physics things that God may be sabotaging the Super Hadron Collider from the future, so as to avoid all those pesky "end of the world" scenarios that the machine makes possible. The crazy part is, most of his colleagues respect him so much that they're not actually ruling it out.
Adrian Brody and Sarah Polley star in the new film "Splice" about two genetic engineers and the creature they create when they splice together human and animal DNA. Written and directed by Vincenzo Natali of "Cube" fame, while the film looks kind of silly, I will totally give it my open mind in hopes it comes close to Cube's compact tension building mind-fuck.
While the creature in the clip looks kind of cute, like a naked mole rat, I can't help thinking they built an entire movie around a clip from an MTV hidden camera show.
CC's back, Joe's confused, and we hope you enjoy the new sound!
A movie that has the crew conflicted.

What if Hayao Miyazaki directed Futurama...
There's a spectacular store, which I like a lot better than Tenth Planet (no offense), called Alternate Reality, and it's on 111th Street just East of Kedzie Avenue. Great discounts (no pull list required), great backlog, and a huge selection of comics and related media.
It's very easy to get to from Homewood, too. Just take I-94 to 111th Street and head West.

It's All-Star Week and teams are hitting the 50-game mark in their seasons. Here are a few thoughts on some NBA topics.
1. JOHN LUCAS (Raptors): Terrific game on Sunday night for his team in their win over the Hornets. Made all five of his threes in the game and was a big reason why the sluggish Raptors found a way to get their second win in a row. A scoring-minded point guard who plays with tons of enthusiasm, he comes into games ready to roll and is surely going to get his shots up. With the departure of Jose Calderon, Lucas has been put on the spot as the primary backup point guard with mixed results. Love his attitude and team focus. He did a nice job last year for the Bulls when called upon. I'm sure the Raptors will be looking around for a more traditional pass-first point guard to compliment him and Kyle Lowry but in the meantime you'll see him out there - he's got Coach Dwane Casey's confidence and that's what counts.
2. PAUL PIERCE (Celtics): What an incredible night Sunday vs. the Nuggets, with a triple-double (27, 14 and 14) in their three-overtime victory against the hottest team in the NBA. The Celtics have been terrific in the absence of Rajon Rondo and when you're lucky to have a proud and talented veteran of his stature in your lineup that you can shift more responsibility to, you're in good hands. Sure, Pierce has lost his fastball on some nights when you watch him but not for lack of trying and when the games are big and the opponent an elite one, you can count on him to show up and compete and produce.
3. ANTHONY DAVIS (Hornets): Saw him Sunday night vs. the Raptors and quite frankly he looked like a guy who has hit the rookie wall. He had no energy or zip in his game. I love his potential as a rebounder and shot blocker and his offence will continue to sharpen as he figures out the NBA life. Right now, he looks like a guy that's tired. That's understandable, considering his slender frame. Improved strength and stamina will be imperative as he moves along in his career and I'm sure that will happen. He's had a nice rookie season (12.6 PPG and 7.3 RPG/ 1.8 blocks PG / .520) and I think he's got a chance to be a very good player as he bulks up and figures out the NBA grind. Better talent level around him will help too. Not a surprise that he's going through growing pains - it will help and harden him for the bigger moments in his career.
4. ISAIAH THOMAS (Kings): Nice to see a guy who was the last pick in the 2011 NBA Draft continue to not only stick, but play well. I enjoyed his performance vs. the Rockets when he got 23 points and six assists and was a perfect 13-for-13 from the free throw line. He's an energetic defender who pushes the pace as the point guard and backs down from no one. What he gives up in size, he makes up for with a huge heart. He's figured out what works for him and goes with it. There will be nights where he's overmatched or simply wears down, but for a 60th pick - good value there.
5. JOSH SMITH (Hawks): Rumours swirling that the Nets are trying to make a run at him before the trade deadline. He's a free agent after the season and Atlanta has to figure out if they want to re-sign him to a major contract. He wants near the max. Do they move him? He impacts the game as a shot blocker, defender, and is a high-energy offensive guy. He's matured, to a point, and yet you still have doubts whether he's a guy you can trust being there for you every night. Interesting decision for Hawks GM Danny Ferry. The Nets, on the other hand, are more than willing to bring on more talent and money, and appear to be a team that's willing to deal with luxury tax issues. He can play both the three and four spots. Obviously, if the Nets swing for the fences here, they've got to make sure they can re-sign him. An interesting story to follow.
It was Canada's night at the NBA Draft as four players from north of the border were selected.

Postmodern Prometheus
on Richard Sala's The Hidden.
The Hidden, page 14 © Richard Sala
Richard Sala
The Hidden
Fantagraphics Books, September 2011. 120 pp.
The artist Richard Sala's work first debuted in Art Spiegelman and Françoise Mouly's comics anthology, Raw (the "comics magazine for damned intellectuals"), and he has since drawn for publications ranging from The New York Times to Playboy to Nickelodeon Magazine. He has made his mark on the genre of horror comics, particularly the Evil Eye series, with its heroines Peculia, the mysterious black-haired waif, and Judy Drood, girl detective. Well-known for his love of pulp fiction and the macabre — dark alleys and archetypal villains, exotic locales and lurid plots — Sala's work is often compared to that of Edward Gorey and Charles Addams, both for its investment in dark humor and its mastery of translating the more bizarre vagaries of the human (and humanoid) form.
Sala's new book, The Hidden, does not wholly depart from the campy fascination with the morbid that marks his previous work, but is even darker in tone, despite the vibrant watercolor work. The visual markers of Sala's humor are present — the affected font, the twisted faces — but there is arguably something more serious and disturbing at play here.
For Halloween, a review of The Hidden by Richard Sala.

Mariah Carey continues her summer takeover with a free concert in New York on Central Park's Great Lawn on July 13. The "#Beautiful" (hashtag beautiful!) singer partnered with Major League Baseball (whose MLB All-Star game takes place three days after) for the concert, which will benefit those affected by Superstorm Sandy.
She will be joined by Alan Gilbert and the New York Philharmonic. According to MLB, Carey will perform classic hits mixed with new tracks from her forthcoming album The Art of Letting Go (out on July 23). We are obsessed with this; you could probably say that it's kind of like a fantasy.
The free tickets will be made available on June 26 here; the show will air on FOX.

The freshman World Studies class at Wayne New Tech Academy (housed in Wayne High School) spent three weeks studying conflicts from around the world. From the genocide in Darfur to wars and uprisings, students were required to research the conflicts and create a visual interpretation. The students studied the origins and outcomes, wrote descriptions in both English and Spanish, and then submitted their work to be curated for this exhibition.The drawings, paintings and three-dimensional works in the gallery represent a small selection of more than 100 pieces created by this group of teenagers.
