Buick Verano Review
The 2014 Buick Verano ranks 6 out of 13 Upscale Small Cars. This ranking is based on our analysis of published reviews and test drives of the Buick Verano, as well as reliability and safety data.
The 2014 Buick Verano delivers a cushy ride, luxurious interior finishes and a good amount of cargo space, test drivers say. For having the best combination of factors that appeal to families, we named the Verano our 2014 Best Upscale Small Car for Families.
Automotive journalists say the Verano's base four-cylinder engine is sufficient around town, though they prefer the optional turbocharged four-cylinder engine for its ample power. The standard six-speed automatic shifts smoothly, reviewers note, and an optional six-speed manual adds a sporty flair. The base Buick Verano gets an EPA-estimated 21/32 mpg city/highway, which is on the low end of the class. The Verano Premium with a turbocharged engine averages 21/30 mpg when equipped with an automatic transmission. Reviewers say the Verano has a comfortable ride, as well as precise steering and strong brakes. While most also agree that the Verano offers respectable handling, they also note that some rivals are more athletic on a twisty road.
The 2014 Verano's cabin feels luxurious and is made with premium materials, test drivers say. Front seats are spacious and supportive, with plenty of room for the driver to stretch out, they add. Reviewers say that the rear seats are snug, but usable, which is normal in a small sedan. Reviewers like the Buick Verano's generous list of standard features, including a six-speaker stereo with touch-screen display, USB and auxiliary ports, satellite radio, OnStar, a rearview camera, Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity, steering wheel-mounted audio and cruise controls and a voice-activated infotainment system. Optional features include a nine-speaker Bose sound system, push-button start, navigation and a moonroof. Several test drivers say the dashboard is crowded with too many buttons, making controls confusing to operate. Newly available safety features include blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning, rear parking sensors and rear cross traffic alert.
- "Though it shares a platform with the less-expensive Chevrolet Cruze, the Verano justifies its higher pricetag with more powerful engines, additional premium features and a quiet, upscale interior." -- Left Lane News
- "The 2014 Buick Verano deftly delivers luxury car qualities to the small car realm. It's a great choice if you're set on buying a compact sedan, but keep in mind that similarly priced midsize cars offer more space and superior fuel efficiency." -- Edmunds
- "Though not as athletic as an Acura ILX or as fuel-efficient as a Lexus CT 200h hybrid, the Verano and its topline Turbo version stand out in the entry-level luxury segment with their refinement and value proposition. With a starting price under $25,000, the 2014 Verano offers one of the most comfortable rides for the money." -- Kelley Blue Book
- "A semi-sporting, near-luxury subcompact Buick sedan (with optional manual transmission, don't forget) is anything but run of the mill, but it may not be the car that turns buyers out in droves, either." -- Autoblog (2013)
Other Cars to Consider
Reviewers praise the Volkswagen GTI for its strong engine and athletic handling. They also say it has a roomy cabin and its hatchback body style offers a large amount of cargo room for the class.
The Fiat 500L offers even more cargo space than the Verano thanks to its hatchback style. Reviewers say that the 500L's spacious interior has a distinctive European flair, as well as intuitive controls and tech features.

Details: 2014 Buick Verano
The five-seat 2014 Buick Verano is available in base, Convenience Group, Leather Group and Premium Group trims. All models except the Premium have a 2.4-liter, four-cylinder engine and a six-speed automatic transmission. The Premium (Verano Turbo) has a turbocharged, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and a six-speed automatic transmission. A six-speed manual is available on the Premium model. Buick introduced the Verano for the 2012 model year, and last year, the 2013 Verano was named our Best Upscale Small Car for the Money and our Best Upscale Small Car for Families. For 2014, the Verano gains some optional safety features, but sees few other changes. As a result, this overview uses applicable research and reviews from the 2012, 2013 and 2014 model years.

Sure it looks quiet in Garfield, Georgia now but it's time for the Washpot Festival. They'll be roaring in from all over.
"Folks from South Carolina, Alabama, they're from out of state, Tennessee...they come down here just to see," says Garfield Police Chief Daniel Moxley.
You've heard of corn festivals or peach festivals, or cotton festivals. Down here in Garfield, it's the Washpot festival.
I wasn't around these parts many years ago, but wasn't a washpot something they stuck under the bed in the old days so you didn't have to go to the outhouse?
"No, it's different it's the washpot that used to be out in the yard to wash your clothes in a washpot over a fire, with hot water," says Brenda Clemens, of the Washpot Festival and the Garfield Volunteer Fire Department, which gets the proceeds from Saturday's shindig.
A washpot hanging on a yard in Garfield is now used for flowers, but in the old days it was where you took care of your dirty clothes.
So basically, the Garfield Washpot Festival is a celebration of old laundry days.
"Right, more or less except, we cook food in it," said Garfield Mayor Hugh Evans.
They're not kidding, it's the Washpot Cooking Festival, meaning out with the flowers and the laundry and in with lunch.
"We never died from it, as you see," said Mayor Evans.
So, with washpot foo,d does it have a hint of old dungaree, or dirty overall? "No," said Clemens.
The Mayor says the heat from the fire gets rid of the germs and any leftover laundry aftertastes...so no need to call the Garfield Health Department or 911...washpot stew won't do you in.
"It's very fine food," says Chief Moxley.
Washpots were a big part of our past, but they're antiques for the garden now not needed for laundry or cooking, but for 15 years Garfield, has celebrated this trusty old tub.
"You honor the washpot, I think that's a noble thing to do", we said to Mayor Evans. "Thank you sir," he said.
"They must love the washpot, down in Garfield.
"We do," says the Mayor.
And things will really be cooking "Out There...Somewhere" in Garfield on Saturday.

The fried cheese curd is one of the greatest things that's ever been invented and I both love and hate the mid-west for keeping it for themselves.
If you can think all the way back to 2012 and the first "V/H/S" you might remember David Bruckner's contribution about a freaky ass monster girl who goes buck wild on some fellas in a hotel room. Well if you liked that you might just want to check out "Intrusion", a soon to be made movie about a woman who moves to San Francisco and finds she is being stalked by a nut bag, because Bruckner has just signed on to direct the project. If you can't remember all the way back to 2012 though you might want to think about seeing a doctor. It was only a year ago. You might have something seriously wrong with you.
M. Night Shyamalan and Juliette Lewis, we used to love them both. Not me so much, but other people, other people wanted to marry them both. Not at the same time I think, I don't really know. I honestly never got the details. But what my point here is, Lewis has been cast as a straight talkin bartender in "Wayward Pines", the new Fox series being helmed by Shyamalan that follows a secret service agent who comes to a small town looking to find two missing federal agents. Alright I'll just say it, I didn't care for "Natural Born Killers".
I was 99% sure the documentary "Crystal Lake Memories: The Complete History of Friday The 13th" had already come and gone but apparently it was set for an August 27th release date. I say was because apparently someone attached to the release had the good sense to say, "hey why don't we push the release a few weeks and release it on September 13th? Why you ask? Well because that's a Friday the 13th and the documentary is based on a series of films titled 'Friday the 13th'. You see why that might be a smart idea? Oh good I'm glad we agree. Have you lost weight?" I assume that's how the conversation went at least. I imagine some people with very nice shoes being involved in this conversation.
Of course there's going to be a second "Sharknado" and of course it's going to be called "Sharknado 2: The Second One". Have at it twitter.
If you're in the woods making meth and you get lost I guess calling the cops and telling them you're actually out there looking for ghosts is one way to go. I mean make no mistake they will find out you're making meth but still, it's a way to go.
If the song "Cat Scratch Fever" was actually about a guy being in love with a cat than there's a good chance Ted Nugent would most likely be in jail. But it's not, so instead this guy in Idaho who made love to his own cat is now in prison. Alright honestly this isn't really a tit for tat thing but now you have "Cat Scratch Fever" stuck in your head so I kind of think I've done my job here.
"Nothing Left to Fear" is a new horror film being produced by Slash that follows a family who move into a small town and find they're living near one of the gates to hell. It's just been slapped with an October 5th limited theater run before coming to DVD and Blu-Ray on October 8th. Little known fact, Slash has a belly button ring. That top hat isn't so cool anymore is it?
Sony Pictures has picked up the rights to "Grace", a new horror flick that is shown entirely through the eyes of an 18 year old girl being terrorized by evil forces. Alexia Fast will play the lead role and Alan Dale, Lin Shaye and Joel David Moore will co-star. I'm just going to come out and say what we're all thinking. People with three names are unnatural.
A couple days ago I mentioned how it looked like "Paranormal Activity 5" was going to be pushed to a 2014 release date rather than its planned October 25th, 2013 launch. Well now it looks like the film actually won't see the light of day until October 2014 and instead we'll see the Spanish spin off film in January. Well you'll see it. I won't. I don't speak Spanish and I have no desire to see it. Unless those strippers from the Telemundo evening news are in it. Then I'm onboard.
Of course there's a "Sharknado" sequel coming. You ironic pricks on twitter made this happen. God have mercy on your soul.
It's only July but I believe we have found our mother of the year in the form of this 25 year old Florida woman who left her 3 and 4 year old children in the car while she went to a Lil Wayne concert. Bravo!
Of course I might have spoken too soon. Here's a Texas woman who burnt her son's mouth with a spoon and hit him with a screwdriver as punishment for... well being her son I guess. It's a toss up who wins this really.
CC's back, Joe's confused, and we hope you enjoy the new sound!
A movie that has the crew conflicted.

Tomodachi Restaurant, Broadway Sydney
By Greedy Financier
Whenever I go to Broadway to watch a movie, I almost always grab a quick dinner at Tomodachi restaurant beforehand. Tomodachi is a Japanese and Korean restaurant sitting inside the Food Court in Broadway shopping centre, with a sushi train component.
Inside Tomodachi Restaurant
It seems Tomodachi has recently undergone a management reshuffle, as some of the items on their menu have changed, as has the way some dishes are cooked. Nevertheless, I was still pleased with the food. As I've mentioned before, I always order a soft shell crab roll when I dine at Japanese restaurants. Tomodachi's spider roll is one of my favourites – as the sushi roll itself is also tempura battered. It's like a twice cooked sushi roll and it has an awesome crunch. Although the roll is slightly different from what they used to serve up (not as much tempura now), it was still one tasty roll, and the mustard sauce drizzled over it added a surprising pleasant tang.
Spider Roll
I love scallops, and I love melted cheese. So when I saw grilled cheese scallops on the menu, I got excited. I expected the scallops to be overcooked when the dish arrived, but the scallop sitting under the melted cheese was juicy and plump. Also sitting under the cheese was a bed of rice, which actually helped to tone down the cheesiness.
Grilled Cheese Scallops
I decided to deviate from my usual order of chicken teriyaki and try one of Tomodachi's house specialties – pork sliders. The dish arrived and it was huge – two pork sliders accompanied with a side of cherry tomato salad. The burger bun was fluffy and soft, the pork had a subtle kimchi flavour, a slice of cheese added a depth of richness, and the refreshing cucumber cut through the heaviness of the meat and cheese. It was like eating a cheeseburger, but Korean style – it was delicious!
Pork Sliders
The bf ordered a chilli beef hot plate. The dish was delivered sizzling hot and had a mountain of beef piled on top – Tomodachi certainly don't skimp on portion sizes! The dish was well cooked, and the chilli enhanced the flavour of the dish without overpowering it with spiciness.
Chilli Beef Hot Plate
Despite some changes at Tomodachi, it still serves up some good Japanese and Korean. The service is as speedy as ever and the prices pretty reasonable. Tomodachi is the perfect place to grab a quick pre-movie meal, and my restaurant of choice when in Broadway.

[Omnicat] <Nyaa> We will of course be playing Star Citizen. If you have a game package, you can join our subversion efforts right here. See you in the 'verse!
[09-30, 19:52] <herkz> yes, and i'm saying that is far below "acceptable"
[09-30, 19:49] <atikabubu> 4K anime? tell me more, John Titor
[09-30, 19:47] <HerbalNekoTea> We need 4K anime before we really need to compare those encoding, i guess some of those encode will not be compatible with 4K. wwwww
[09-30, 19:46] <Senfu> .flv best format period /s
[09-30, 19:40] <atikabubu> wait for daiz to pop out of the devil's ass and introduce something among the lines of x265 Hi444p
[09-30, 19:38] <NoobSubs> x265 will conquer the world someday herkz.
[09-30, 19:21] <x265> Yeah, I know it has problems, crf=21, what did you expect? I'm just testing low bitrate, to get "acceptable" quailty
[09-30, 19:17] <herkz> all of your comparisons look fucking horrible holy shit are you blind
[09-30, 19:16] <OnDeed> "<x265> http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/93740 Watch this, this x265 encoding is ~40% lighter than original" -- you got some ugly blocking and banding there...
[09-30, 19:12] <x265> http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/93743 Both are x265, just to compare how parameters really matters
[09-30, 19:12] <deanzel> Who cares about how x265 encodes and displays animu. I'm more concerned with how my favorite Chinese cartoons will look. I need that proof before I am convinced about x265.
[09-30, 19:10] <lotusgg> try aq-strenght 1.5
[09-30, 19:08] <x265> @HerbalNekoTea,yeah, testing the x265 parameters to find the best for anime, some people here has been really helpful
[09-30, 19:05] <x265> So, light is way smoother, but the edge-detection (look at the squares in her skirt) is messed up
[09-30, 19:04] <HerbalNekoTea> Common, you are still arguing about encode... I think you was arguing for the last 48h...
[09-30, 19:02] <x265> (Subs does not appear in one of them because is skipped just in the frame xD)
[09-30, 19:01] <x265> http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/93740 Watch this, this x265 encoding is ~40% lighter than original
[09-30, 18:58] <lotusgg> -2:-2 would be a great for holding up to all details that psy washes.
[09-30, 18:57] <lotusgg> I wish there were cabac deblocking
[09-30, 18:49] <x265> I've tried those values, fading is way smoother, even with crf=21; so this means more testing to do, I hope is worth it
[09-30, 18:47] <lotusgg> and psy-rd/oq in x265 is not the same as in x264.
[09-30, 18:46] <lotusgg> aq1 will not work as good as it does for x265 in x264
[09-30, 18:38] <x265> I see, I'll try psy 0 values and aq-mode 1 (all presets use 0 or 2, don't know why)
[09-30, 18:34] <hazardous> but everyone using psy between 0.60-90
[09-30, 18:22] <lotusgg> also aq-mode 1 produced less artifacs at +-1000kbit/s
[09-30, 18:22] <lotusgg> with x265, try psy-rd and rdoq at 0
[09-30, 18:22] <lotusgg> it just fuck with the grain, also producing aliased edges
[09-30, 18:21] <lotusgg> psy is bad for anime.
[09-30, 18:06] <x265> I hope UHD 10-bit monitors/TV drops their price soon...
[09-30, 18:00] <nitekatt> Large TVs are awesome for watching stuff.
[09-30, 17:48] <[TRVE]> I am quite fond of my tablet. Fuck large, expensive, clunky TVs.
[09-30, 17:21] <x265> Indeed, mobile devices are not the best for playing that video, but playing 720p ~3000kbps 8-bit is good enough to kill boredom out of home
[09-30, 17:09] <atikabubu> not to mention that 10 bit encodes simply rape your phones battery
[09-30, 17:07] <SneakiestNEG> Watching on a phone defeats the purpose of downloading a 30Gb BD rip lol
[09-30, 17:07] <atikabubu> i have a 37" HD Ready PDP and fuck watching on anything else
[09-30, 17:07] <x265> Watching anime on a 10" while traveling, or something like that, is not a bad idea. Of course is better at home with my 24" screen, but that isn't very "portable"
[09-30, 17:05] <atikabubu> or you can watch anime like a baws on something 32+ inches
[09-30, 16:52] <hazardous> gotta have tailor enlarge our pocket sizes then :p
[09-30, 16:47] <OneCrazyRussian> Because in 4 years there's gonna be 22inch Iphone 22+ and his Samsung 23" clone
[09-30, 16:38] <NoobSubs> Why watch anything on a 3 inch phone when you can use a 22 inch pc?
[09-30, 16:13] <Hoshizora> MX Player is by far the best Android player.
[09-30, 16:11] <herkz> well obviously you can't use CCCP on linux so i didn't mean that
[09-30, 15:26] <x265> H/W rendering is way smoother than VLC or default video player, really amazing
[09-30, 15:23] <x265> Gonna try, thanks
[09-30, 15:20] <[TRVE]> MX Player.
[09-30, 15:13] <x265> Simple question: best Android video player? I've using VLC, which is better than default player (something easy to achieve)
[09-30, 15:09] <x265> For example, Linux Mint, provides VLC already installed (nothing easier to install than that), at least MPV is also very easy to install
[09-30, 15:05] <herkz> probably because the devs are bad. also, CCCP is even easier to install than VLC, so that's a pretty bad argument.
[09-30, 14:59] <x265> Which makes me think, why VLC doesn't improve the rendering? Is a big, long-term, even default player in some Linux dist. player
[09-30, 14:58] <shaddrag> I remember the days when VLC was considered elitist...my, how times and opinions have changed.
[09-30, 14:57] <x265> Although, if don't know the better alternatives, VLC becomes the best option you know about (recently, that was my case)
[09-30, 14:55] <x265> Well, VLC is well known and popular, an easy solution to play almost any kind of media file. But that doesn't mean is the best.
[09-30, 13:58] <jofs> @sillybean: But why use VLC at all when there is better alternatives? I don't get it.
[09-30, 13:48] <OneCrazyRussian> It's because your VLC didn't even render them properly
[09-30, 13:41] <sillybean> @hazardous : but those rains pixels that u mentioned never happens when i'm watching anime with VLC
[09-30, 08:57] <atikabubu> where the hell is the Sabagebu ED Single...
[09-30, 07:55] <OneCrazyRussian> Now everyone shut up and enjoy Space Dandy end.
[09-30, 07:45] <[TRVE]> I remux DVDISOs and watch everything with mpv (or MPC, depending on which computer I use).
[09-30, 07:44] <txtsd> I've been running archlinux for more than a month now, and I miss mpc-hc more than anything :/
[09-30, 07:35] <sarachikorita> Disclaimer: I use mplayer2 as my main player, mpv as my second player, and mplayer1 as my DVDISO handler on Windows. (mplayer2 and mpv share a common bug on Windows regarding DVD filesystems; mplayer1 doesn't have this bug, and it isn't an issue on Linux.)
[09-30, 06:32] <txtsd> thanks @sarachikorita
[09-30, 06:05] <sarachikorita> Only limitation of mplayer/mplayer2 is its crappy rendering of bitmap subs. For that, just use mpv, which is a fork of mplayer2.
[09-30, 05:46] <hazardous> never use VLC!
[09-30, 05:46] <hazardous> there's always some pixel blocks somewhere with VLC and during action scenes, it rains pixels. not to mention video looks kinda blurry on VLC.
[09-30, 05:18] <txtsd> Is there a guide for linux players? I switched to linux as my default OS and I've been using mplayer.
[09-30, 03:59] <Bobezlol> x265 is being aimed at 4k BD's and streaming stuff (like skype video chat crap)
[09-30, 03:27] <S3qu3l> Anyway you can scroll further in the chat or it's just limited to those few lines ?
[09-30, 03:22] <herkz> yes. it's not nearly as good as 10-bit x264 as far as banding is concerned, which makes it pretty useless for anime.
[09-30, 02:35] <x265> Yeah, that was the example that made me try psy=1.0 values and 10-bit, I think fading and banding is one of the weak points of x265
[09-30, 02:32] <herkz> it's insanely easy to tell the difference in that comparison. just look at the entire top-left
[09-30, 02:24] <x265> Yeah, that was a 8 bit build, and you just said it, you need to go to the detail to spot the difference; so basically: x265 is only better than x264 in terms of quality/size at "medium to low" quality; but x264 is still greater than x265 if you look into the detail
[09-30, 02:13] <lotusgg> You can only tell it's worse by looking very very close at a side-by-side comparison with x265 with half the size.
[09-30, 02:11] <lotusgg> I do x265 as second format for many animes at a brazillian fansub, and the results are quite satisfatory.
[09-30, 02:10] <lotusgg> http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/93604 is this 8bits build?
[09-30, 01:04] <MisterDonut> he caught the stinx from Eien
[09-30, 00:59] <HerbalNekoTea> @Imouto6969 Nope, ArchDeco, a certain member of the translation team of FFF got some Computersaure problem.
[09-29, 22:32] <x265> http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/93607 I've tried 10-bits, and results is kind of the same thing, but bitrate is lower, thx
[09-29, 22:32] <Imouto6969> Has jinsei died?
[09-29, 22:10] <vivan> now switch to 10 bit builds and you'll see everybody is uisng them.
[09-29, 21:54] <x265> Amazing, psy-rd=1.0 and psy-rdoq=1.0, and there you have it, banding is almost gone (it took 4x more time encode though)
[09-29, 21:54] <x265> http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/93605
[09-29, 21:37] <x265> It seems that crf=16 is the border line, above that, x264 still wins
[09-29, 21:34] <x265> Which I don't know, is how this will affect the size...
[09-29, 21:33] <x265> Yeah, I can see it, but as far as I know, that can be solved adjusting parameters, I'll keep trying
[09-29, 21:32] <Varshnyar> banding is present all over your release, and that was the problem i found when I tried x265 long ago
[09-29, 21:32] <x265> That means I need to find better settings for anime, x265 needs to improve fading in general, it makes a good job with edges, but lighting and fading need more works
[09-29, 21:31] <Varshnyar> But the difference between both screenshots is really big D: Can't you see that colorbanding?
[09-29, 21:29] <Varshnyar> yes
[09-29, 21:29] <x265> screenshoots are really closer this one, same bitrate and preset?
[09-29, 21:26] <x265> I'm really missing "-tune animation" in x265, it is a pain configure and experiment parameters manually...
[09-29, 21:26] <Varshnyar> http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/93604
[09-29, 21:15] <x265> I see, I think that using "fast" is a bad idea, it causes that ugly effect on fading surfaces like that door
[09-29, 21:14] <Varshnyar> Close to very slow settings
[09-29, 21:06] <SneakiestNEG> It has been ages since I logged in but the last time I did Crunchy player went bad.
[09-29, 21:04] <x265> I used preset fast in that one, which one did you used?
[09-29, 21:04] <SneakiestNEG> At the end of the day we are all relying on Crunchy or Funi, no? Personally I watch older stuff so the BD rips are already up.
[09-29, 21:01] <Varshnyar> http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/93603 (same bitrate, x264 still wins)
[09-29, 21:00] <vivan> crf 10 is a way too low, on a reasonable values (15-20) x264 clearly wins, x265 starts winning on 30+ which nobody sane uses (since you should downscale instead).

"More than anything, I think that the relationship between Cap and Widow is one that becomes a friendship and that is way more interesting than a romantic relationship. We don't really know yet if she's really even capable of that. Black Widow has so many trust issues that the last thing on her mind is like, "Man, I wish I had a boyfriend." Steve Rogers is an attractive guy but I think she's learning how to be herself —whoever herself is. This friendship is the catalyst that helps her to understand other events with Fury and helps her to understand what she wants because she's probably never really asked herself that. That's what we see more of developing; between the two of them is a friendship that allows her to be self-reflective."

Slouching like a gardener on a hot August afternoon, my straw bales sag under the weight of their growing load.
Four humongous squash plants form a green umbrella with their large leaves that keep the bales (and their roots) shady and cool. A watermelon vine winds around the base of the bales, depositing its softball-size fruit to rest on straw ledges.
A tomatillo bush with a trunk bigger than my wrist commands most of one bale, draping its odd, lanternlike fruit over the squash plants. The lone tomato vine a grafted Legend leans in its cage like the Tower of Pisa at a precarious angle off the back edge.
A sinkhole more than a foot deep in the straw threatens to swallow this little but productive vegetable garden. Despite their cozy raised bed collapsing around them, these plants somehow soldier on. Already prolific with fruit, the squash two each of golden pattypan and eight-ball keep producing more flowers, much to the bees delight. But the tomato seems to be stuck on green; by late August, it had produced only two red ripe fruit.
Life with my first straw bale garden has been an interesting and productive experiment. The veggies planted in the fertilizer-charged bales grew much bigger much faster than their counterparts in the nearby plain, hard ground. The soil-planted squash are just setting their first fruit now while the bale pattypans have been bearing heavily since early July.
Not surprisingly, strawberries really have made themselves at home in the straw bale garden. I planted Seascape, an ever-bearing variety that relishes the coolness of the straw mulch. A half-dozen plants have rewarded my efforts with about a pint of berries a week.
As designed, the straw bales compost as the veggies grow, providing a constant stream of nutrients. The bales also retain moisture, keeping the plants well hydrated even on the hottest summer days.
But the composting has been much faster than anticipated. After just three months, the bales are breaking down almost alarmingly; they look like they may fall apart before the tomatoes ripen. Roots and a chicken-wire girdle hold them together.
Other straw bale gardeners report similar experiences. Cucurbites squash, cucumbers, pumpkins seem to really love to wiggle their roots in straw.
My colleague Tom Sellers and his wife, Karen, have been inundated with cucumbers from their straw bale garden. So happy in its straw bed, the crazy cuke vine trellised high over the bales has shaded an adjacent cherry tomato and kept most of its fruit from ripening.
Its cranking out several (cucumbers) a day right now, Tom said.
The Sellerses actually followed the directions suggested by Joel Karsten in his popular book, Straw Bale Gardens (Cool Springs Press, $14.50, 144pages), and built a sturdy trellis anchored in the ground, not the straw. Thats given their vines the support they needed without listing like a sinking ship.
Eggplants and beets also love their bale home, report the Sellerses.
Theyve grown up nicely, Tom said. Weve also been eating and enjoying the beet greens.
The biggest surprise: summer lettuce. The Sellerses grew several big, fat heads from seed and enjoyed lots of salads in July and August. Usually, summer heat turns lettuce very bitter in Sacramento. But the straw kept the lettuce roots temperate and the leaves sweet.
No way these (bales) are going to last two years, but thats fine, Tom said. Theyve proved to be a fine growing medium and easier on the back since they put the plants a bit up off the ground. Also, as per the book, no weeds.
The bales may be weed free but not necessarily pest free. Some gardeners have reported a problem with earwigs invading their bale beds. Earwigs like cool, dark, moist places to hide, and straw bale gardens can be very inviting, but they attack tender new growth.
As for the sinkholes, Ive plugged my bales with more straw mixed with planting mix. It keeps the roots covered and the squash happy.
For fall, I poked a few potato eyes into one side of the bale thats still standing up straight. I hope to coax a little more food out of the straw before it becomes a composted heap.
Now, if only those tomatoes would ripen

MILWAUKEE, WI (WSAU) The Milwaukee Bucks have reportedly interviewed two people for their vacant coaching job. Houston assistant Kelvin Sampson and former Seattle and Portland coach Nate McMillan were both said to have talked with Bucks' officials.
According to media reports, general manager John Hammond is also recruiting ex-Orlando and Wisconsin Badger coach Stan Van Gundy, and L-A Lakers' assistant Steve Clifford.
Meanwhile, Hammond says a reported confrontation between Bucks' center Larry Sanders and guard Monta Ellis is an "internal team matter," and he won't say any more about it.
According to C-B-S Sports-Dot-Com, Sanders took aim at possible free agents Ellis and Brandon Jennings in a locker room speech after Milwaukee's Game-Three playoff loss to Miami 15 days ago. Sanders reportedly said quote, "We need to start playing together as a team and stop worrying about next year … We need to stop being selfish, and start worrying about right now."
Ellis took issue, and reportedly was about to come to blows with Sanders until a teammate broke them up. Ellis has an 11-million-dollar player option for next season, and he has until June 20th to decide if he wants to stay. Jennings is a restricted free agent.

- Fantastic ServiceDisappointedVIPDined on 9/27/2014Ruth Chris never disappoints. We have been to several around the country and this one in Columbu, like the rest always delivers consistent great service and food. Yes, it is more expensive, but if you are looking for a sure bet on food and service this is your place.Special Features:
- Just what we expected !!trhartDined on 9/22/2014It was our first time back to Ruth's Chris in a long while. It was a very nice experience; the food was very good as was the service. I ordered the 16oz Ribeye, it was very tender, seasoned perfectly and was cooked just as I ordered. We shared Calamari for an appetizer and had mashed potatoes, creamed spinach and the macaroni and cheese with lobster as sides, all were very delicious. Overall we had a great meal and a great visit with Family. Being a Monday night it was very quiet and not crowded.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 9/20/2014Server Edmund kicked butt! Great food and service!! Leftovers made best steak and eggs next day lolSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food & fun with friends!aseve1Dined on 9/18/2014We had a great evening out with friends. The food was excellent. The filets were cooked perfectly, the chipotle fingerling potatoes were so good! We know we will always get an excellent meal at Ruth's Chris.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great DiningjlbrownohDined on 9/14/2014Great special occasions. My wife and I dine at Ruth Chris on our anniversary every year. The Ambience and food are excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Average steaksstabesVIPDined on 9/13/2014My husband and I chose Ruth's Chris on a Saturday evening for date night. His steak was $38.00 (steak on a plate no side included) and was just average for a steak house. They only had A1 for a steak sauce as well. My dish was fine but nothing to write home about. My husband was disappointed. The ambiance was ok. Felt like I was close to people behind us. The service was good. Devin did a nice job and was very friendly. The decor is outdated for me and felt like a cave. We most likely will not return.Special Features:
- Birthday in ColumbusmlhhDined on 8/30/2014Food very average. Building like a nice dining hall. VERY slow service. Waitress very nice but not attentive. Surely there is better in Columbus. Not what I expect from a "high end" steak house.Special Features:
- Disappointing experiencem7j7cbusVIPDined on 8/30/2014After hearing a lot of very positive feedback about this restaurant, we decided to give it a try for our anniversary. I think they were busier than anticipated, so I will let my criticism of the service slide. What was really disappointing was the food. Both steaks were cooked at least one level higher than ordered (the medium rare was medium and the medium was medium well). The au gratin potatoes were as generic as they come. The red wine was overly chilled, overly marked-up (almost 100%!), and lacked quality befitting the price charged. While the atmosphere was very nice, I don't think we will return again. For a quality food experience try the neighboring J. Gilbert's or Hyde Park.Special Features:
- Fabulous experienceFirsttimepeepsDined on 8/22/2014It was our first experience with the restaurant and we both were extremely impressed with the entire experience. Extremely courteous and friendly staff and the food was exquisite. We will be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always Just RightSkibumDined on 8/19/2014Every Ruth's Chris Steak House I have eaten in has been excellent, including this one in North Columbus.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/18/2014They are the greatest steak house, their services are the best.Special Features:
- Excellence ServedDavidSeyDined on 8/15/2014We thoroughly celebrating our anniversary here. We loved our meal and the service. I am so pleased that Ruth's Chris has just that perfect blend of sophistication and comfort. It is never too stuffy and just the right blend of elegance and sincere kindness. You'll always feel welcome here.Special Features:
- Great 25th Anniversary dinnerMarciaDined on 8/12/2014The food, the wine, and atmosphere was fantastic! Best steak I have ever had!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 8/10/2014Amazing, always out of the park. This is our go to place for a dinner we all remember and talk about until the next time to go. If you have never had the sweet potato casserole just order it and you'll see why. If your food isn't what you dreamed it would be all you need to do is ask and your wish is their command. I'll be back, just not soon enough for me.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Anniversary CelebrationRemyDined on 8/9/2014This was our second visit to this Ruth's Chris. The food was outstanding as it was the first visit we made here. The restaurant was ready with our reservations and we were seated immediately upon arrival. The only deterrent was waiting for the food server to arrive to the table the first time. Once he arrived all was handled beautifully.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SwissDined on 8/9/2014Great place for steaks. We keep coming back whenever in Columbus.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Anniversary DinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/30/2014There were rose petals on our table when we arrived! This was our first time at this restaurant. Great food, drinks, and service!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- What happened?!?JohnboyDined on 7/29/2014Our favorite Columbus eatery was so loud and our server seemed so distracting that we couldn't enjoy our delicious steak. Our server seemed like he was in a contest to sell lobster. He recommended it to every table he had. We almost got into a fight over leaving our bread on the table. Finally I ordered dessert and coffee. The French press allowed grounds to pass through. I requested that he bring me a cup of coffee without grounds. He said that he could not and offered me a credit for the coffee. Can I make a reservation for Hyde Park Steak House on OpenTable?
- doopsieDined on 7/28/2014Outstanding place to dine and be pampered. Food was excellent, as always, and service was over the top. This is our favorite place to dine. We visit this particular location once a year when in Columbus. They even knew the type and label of wine we had ordered last year. A perfect place to dine!!!Special Features:
- Good Food, Great Experience at RCDateNightGoneRightDined on 7/26/2014Had a special dinner at RC recently and it was a great experience from valet service through the end of our meal. We were seated very quickly and our waitress was quick to attend to us. She was very nice and efficient. It was restaurant week, so we decided to order form the RW Menu. My date had the caesar salad, chicken, mashed potatoes and chocolate cake options and she loved them. I had the caesar salad, shrimp topped filet, sweet potatoes and bread pudding. Although my steak was more well than medium-well done, it was still very good. I enjoyed everything else on my plates and we had an overall excellent experience. The rose petals on the table was an excellent addition and my date gave me bonus points for the added touch; cheers.Special Features:
- Awesome eveningfoodfirstDined on 7/26/2014Everything about this evening was first class, from the food to the service to the ambiance. The only negative was that the restaurant was somewhat stuffy. The tables are not on top of one another, so the overall feel is one of spaciousness. A definite winner!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Ruth chrisEatout2muchDined on 7/23/2014Very consistent w/ steak which is why we like to eat there!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Columbus Restaurant WeekRobertDined on 7/23/2014We dined during Columbus Restaurant Week and took advantage of their special $35 fixed price meal which is a great value. The main entree was a 6oz. filet with 4 shrimp. The filet was cooked perfectly. We also had a martini to begin ($12.75 ea.) and a glass of wine ($11.00 is the cheapest on the menu) so our "beverage" bill was nearly equal to the food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ExcellentCEther5Dined on 7/22/2014Always the best!! You deliver very consistent excellent food and service. We know your price is high but the best steak around is worth it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- restaurant week trialANNIEDined on 7/22/2014food was very good, but not above expected for an upscale gourmet restaurant. Service was way below expectations. Very slow, despite lots of open tables. It was overall an exceptional value with the prix fix offerings, but is not the experience I anticipated based on the normal pricing .Special Features:
- Bettis1Dined on 7/19/2014Went for dinner to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We were warmly greeted and our table was ready at our reservation time. Rose petals were on our table which was a nice touch. Our service was attentive and efficient. The steaks were excellent, as was the lobster. We rated the overall food as very good (as opposed to excellent) due to the side dishes. The broccoli was good, and the shoestring potatoes were.....O.K. Nothing distinguishing. Received a complementary dessert (ice cream, cheesecake) which was excellent. Overall, a good choice for a special night out. Expensive, but worth it. Quiet enough to have good conversation. As an aside was surprised at the number of people dressed in shorts, t-shirts, and jeans.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely EveningscoomesDined on 7/12/2014Fantastic food! Fantastic service, thanks Joshua! Always perfection at Ruth's Chris.Special Features:
- A Special Evening OutJimBobDined on 7/6/2014My wife and I celebrated our anniversary at Ruth's Chris Steak House. The occasion was noted by everyone from the hostess to the manager, and a personalized dessert was presented. The food was outstanding in taste and in presentation, and was prepared exactly as requested. The evening was elegant, very enjoyable, and highly appropriate for a special occasion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 37th AnniversaryFineplacestogoDined on 7/5/2014We would celebrate our Anniversary each year by going to the Woodmere location. Since that closed we decided this year to take a little trip to Columbus to celebrate and it was well worth the drive. Service was incredible with Rose pedals placed on the table. Hope to see a Ruth Chris open again near ClevelandSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

The wait staff is amazing, this is our favorite place to go for a romantic dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 414 reviews are from the Ruth's Chris Steak House - Columbus reviews archive.
- Is It Worth It?SatisfiedDined on 5/31/2014When not extremely well off $$$, celebrating with family, watching every bite fill their pie holes, and listening to the cha-ching ring in your head because you invited them, it can get quite nerve racking – is this really worth it? Then my fork finds my own pie hole and the ringing fades. I slowly remove the specimen from the utensil, and then place knife and fork filled hands on the edge of the table and straighten my arms. On the first chew causes my eyes to sweep across the ceiling, family, other patrons, and I feel almost a little naughty because no one else notices what was going on in my mouth right now. The answer comes to me as I sit there and do another sweep of my family, my plate, and the atmosphere – Absolutely every penny!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

In a letter to fans, friends and family, The Love Language frontman Stuart McLamb put his heart on a platter and promised that his long-awaited third album should arrive this spring.
"This has been a long time coming, and though it feels strange to put it all out here, I feel there is much explaining to do on my part as to what is going on with The Love Language," McLamb wrote Tuesday.
McLamb explained that he set out to record the album in February at the band's rehearsal space in Raleigh. There, he tracked the bulk of the LP with BJ Burton before hitting the road again, including SXSW in Austin.
"It was one of the best -- if not the best -- times I've ever had creating music in my entire life," McLamb recalled. "A full-throttle, ever-momentous race to our self-imposed finish line of March 1."
It was after the album was recorded that McLamb said he ran into problems. "The remainder of the year has basically been spent trying to get the mix right. That's insane, I know; it's probably mostly my fault, honestly."
"I truly am excited about this record, but I wasn't ready to put it out as it was," he said.
McLamb said he hopes to have Burton, who recorded The Love Language's well-received Merge Records debut Libraries, come in this December to finish the album's mastering for a Spring 2013 release. "That's an estimate, not official," he qualified.
More recently, Burton engineered and mixed Twin Cities trio Solid Gold's Eat Your Young, which was released Oct. 23.
Prior to the LP3's release, McLamb said he plans to perform a handful of shows in November to get "back out there regardless."
"That's always been the central spirit to my music. Songs don't come natural, and I'm totally lost when it comes to recording and computers, but I've always tried to do it anyways," McLamb said. "So for these upcoming shows, no there's no new album hash tags or publicity machine, but there is a band of old and new friends eager to play these songs for you again."
Although he wasn't totally clear on the changes, McLamb hinted that there may be some new faces in The Love Language when the band hits the road; and some familiar ones may be missing. "The Love Language has always been my baby, and perhaps I have held it too close at times," he admitted.
"Friends have come and gone, each gracing the songs and arrangements with their own unique personality and thus making them come alive," McLamb explained. "You will most likely see changes in the lineup for the years to come, but I like to think of it as a good thing.
"Keeping the songs invigorated with new life and perspectives that I could never find on my own."
The Love Language performs at Krankie's in Winston-Salem for Halloween Wednesday night. Next Friday, Nov. 9, the band will perform at Lincoln Theatre with Gross Ghost and The Toddlers. On Nov. 16, the band will perform at Soapbox in Wilmington, and the following night they are at Visalite Theatre in Charlotte.

Chris Sullivan and Bob Basham had never been to Australia, but they had seen the movie "Crocodile Dundee" and they could see that Americans were fascinated with anything Aussie. So, in 1988 in Tampa, they opened the very first Outback Steakhouse.
"The Bloomin' Onion obviously changed our lives," said Sullivan. "I don't know if it changed anybody else's life, but it sure changed ours."
Outback now has more than 900 locations worldwide.
Nearly 25 years after opening the first Outback, Sullivan and Basham own equity in Bloomin' Brands, the parent company of Outback, but they aren't involved in the day-to-day operations. Some might quit while they are ahead, but the original Outback guys can't stay out of the restaurant game.
"You can't be afraid to try and you can't be afraid to fail either," said Basham.
Together they own Lee Roy Selmon's, a Bay Area chain inspired by the late Buccaneers Hall of Famer. Plus, they each have their own new restaurant concepts.
Basham has "PDQ", a new fast food restaurant emphasizing fresh, healthy foods. Sullivan has "Carmel Cafe," featuring "modern Mediterranean" cuisine with an extensive selection of wines.
Both Carmel and PDQ are adding new locations. But the Outback founders admit it's not going to be easy to equal their past successes.
"Is there pressure? I think there's pressure whether it's your first one or your thousandth one," said Sullivan.
Carmel Cafe uses iPads for menus, and has been recognized by Apple for its new restaurant technology.
"You're always trying to find a better way to do something," continued Sullivan.
He's now marketing the software to other restaurants, and he predicts it will be widely used in years to come.
Neither Sullivan nor Basham know what they would do if it weren't for restaurants.
"Professional golf, if I were good enough," smiled Basham.
"He's good enough for a caddy," laughed Sullivan.
Even after all these years together, the Outback guys love to rib one another. And these days, they might make a friendly wager on which one will have the next hit restaurant.

Provo • First, there was the Welcome-to-the-WCC blowout. Then came the Meltdown at the Marriott, followed by the Dellavedagger. Defense was the Gaels' calling card in the most recent matchup.
Four times BYU has tangled with Saint Mary's since the Cougars joined the West Coast Conference back in 2011, and four times the Gaels have prevailed. All four were memorable, if not competitive, the last two closer than the first two.

Will the narrative change Saturday when BYU attempts to get a win over the only team in the WCC it has yet to defeat in two-plus seasons?
It's a huge game for both teams, seeing as how Saint Mary's (6-3, 16-6) fell 61-43 at San Diego on Thursday night to lose its grip on second place in the WCC and fall farther behind league-leading Gonzaga; and how BYU (6-4, 14-9) is desperately trying to re-establish itself as a league power.
"We all know how Saint Mary's plays," BYU coach Dave Rose said Thursday after the Cougars rolled past Pacific 88-78 at the Marriott Center. "It is a really well-coached, physical, disciplined team. So hopefully we are prepared and ready to go."
On paper, the Cougars would seem to have most of the advantages in this one. They are at home, Saint Mary's had to travel Friday after scoring a season-low 43 points against the Toreros, and Cougar guard Tyler Haws is the hottest scorer in the country, having scored 109 points in his last three games.
Most helpful of all, from BYU's perspective, is the fact that Matthew Dellavedova is a member of the NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers and can't destroy the Cougars like he did in 2012 and 2013. Delly's dagger, the running 3-pointer from well beyond the arc that just beat the buzzer, gave SMC a 70-69 win over BYU in a late-night game last year at the Marriott Center.
The Gaels have good balance this year — all five starters average in double figures — but they still have a blossoming superstar in 6-foot-9 junior forward Brad Waldow. He's averaging 16.8 points and 7.6 rebounds a game to lead his team in both categories.
"We know the challenge that is ahead of us," Haws said. "It is going to be a physical game, probably a lot more physical than [the game against Pacific]. It is going to be a fun environment to play in, but we have to play defense, figure out how to stop them, and get them out of their comfort zone, what they like to do."
The atmosphere was electric for SMC's first visit to the MC in 2012, as a sell-out crowd of 22,700 packed the largest on-campus arena in the country. But the Gaels routed the Cougars 80-66 and the scene turned ugly late when a few fans threw paper cups on the floor.
SMC pulled off a 96-82 shellacking in Moraga in BYU's first game in the WCC; Last February, the Gaels made it four straight by holding the Cougars to a season-low 57 points while scoring 64 at McKeon Pavilion.
"There are a lot of guys who don't know what the challenge is," Rose said. "That is what we will try to prepare them for here in a real short period of time."

To Celebrate Record Store Day, A Tour of the Nightlife Impresario's Collection
What are the merits of buying music in a store versus online?
If people ask for my top ten, or what I'm listening to, I try to list songs that aren't available on iTunes. People call back and ask, "Do these really exist? I couldn't find them on iTunes." That's the point—that's why you're asking me. Downloading my whole collection in two days, which took me 20 or 30 years to amass, takes away some of the sportingness of it. There's nothing better than finding that track that you've been seeking out for ten years, going through dusty old crates and stumbling upon something.
How many records do you have?
I have about 7,000 records, but nobody needs to have that many. I probably have 3,000 that I don't need. Is there really any reason for somebody to have more than 1,000? I doubt it. Part of the reason I have so many is because there are so many hip-hop 12-inches in there, and hip-hop moves at a brisk pace.
How are they arranged?
They're in a state of disarrangement.
Name your most exciting recent acquisition.
I just recently found a Johnny Thunders "You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory" 12-inch limited-edition pink vinyl single on the Real Records label, which is pretty rare.
Tell us something we don't know about but need to hear.
There's a 60s band called Index out of Grosse Point, Michigan, who were on DC Records. [Their first LP, The Black Album] could be the earliest hipster record. It's garagey, psychy crossed with early Joy Division that came out pretty amazing.
What's your favorite deejay venue?
Inside the Egyptian tomb at the Metropolitan Museum. But nothing's better than five or ten friends in an apartment playing records and smoking weed.
What's a guaranteed floor filler?
Nat King Cole's "L-O-V-E"––that will get them dancing every time.

Hi, hi! Happy Monday! I can say that with feeling because I'm (at last) on my way home now (well, on the way back to the station, at least) from a pretty long day in Jeffersonville. Photographer Andy and I left the station a few minutes after five this morning to make the two-hour drive for the first day of the capital murder trial of Jeffrey Weisheit. Weisheit is accused of setting fire to his girlfriend's northern Vanderburgh County home, killing her two young children, in April 2010.
Ahead of time, we received quite a few rules about this trial and what we, as media, were allowed to do/not do. I've never covered a death penalty case, at least not in Indiana. (I can't remember if I ever did when I worked in Ohio, isn't that awful?!) I can say, it's different than other murder trials. At least, this one is. There is a jury pool of 225 people. Out of that, they need 12 jurors and four alternates. Before jurors are seated or dismissed, they are taken into what will become the jury room, three at a time, to answer questions from the State and the defense as part of the selection process (technically called "voir dire"). This process took a pretty long time, at least for the two sets of three prospective juror interviews I listened in on (which was allowed, by the way!). The first set of three were in the room about 45 minutes. The next three about 30 minutes or so.
By the end of the day (about 5pm EST), they had seated four jurors. Yep… it could be a while.
On a completely unrelated note, this was actually my second 3am hour wake up in the past few days. On Saturday, seven of us from the station went to a workshop in Frankfort, Kentucky. Four stayed the night before in Frankfort, the rest of us drove early in the morning. The workshop focused a lot on ways to be a better writer/storyteller. There was some really good information for all of us, especially some of our newer reporters who are in their first jobs. Some of the stories we watched as part of the workshop were just so well put together, something to strive for in the future!
Overall, it was a long day involving a decent bit of driving in the rain, but I'm glad we went!
Ok, ahh, we're approaching the Morgan Avenue exit. Almost there! And for me, tomorrow is already my Friday! Jumping from Monday to Friday is not a bad deal. I'll be heading out to Ohio for a few days of vacation later this week! Hooray!
Have a wonderful day/afternoon/evening!
Until next time,
1115 Mt. Auburn Road

Excellent utlity bag with a varity of large to small pockets which will carry quite a bit of material of all kinds.
It's great,easy to carry and store items in it.
It is hard to find a bag of this size. It is nicely compact and still holds everything I need for the average day on the road. Excellent built quality, and has straps in all the right places for securing gear and additional pouches.
Actually bigger then I thought it would be. Seems nice.
