I have experienced some trouble with the reliability of the QAD Ultra Rest HD with my Onza: in cold/moist conditions, the slide (and therefore also the cable where the QAD cord is attached to) sometimes does not come all the way back in full draw, but stays perhaps 1/16" closer to the riser. This is not critical at all for the bow operation, but for QAD arrow rest it is: it is lifted completely upwards only when the cord is pulled exactly the adjusted amount. If this does not happen, the bow does not shoot accurately. Based on my experience, I wouldn't really recommend this rest to bows equipped with a traditional cable slide (although a teflon slide might help). There is no such problem if the cable guard is equipped with wheels (as with my earlier Hoyt CRX 32, I had the same arrow rest in it).
I have been able to overcome the problem by using silicone lube on the rod. I know that some people don't recommend putting anything exra to the rod, but I have experienced no problems. Still, I have many times thought I should switch back to the idiot-proof Whisker Biscuit (which I actually have not installed to my new Nemesis). I think the Ripcord shouldn't have a similar problem, it has a different mechanism.

Early in the month, sow seeds of cool-season veggies, such as carrots, chard and spinach.
Late in the month, sow seeds of warm-season crops, such as beans, corn and squash, and set out seedlings of eggplant, peppers and tomatoes.
Prized for their rich flavor, heirloom tomatoes are becoming more widely available as seedlings in retail nurseries. This might be the year to try a new variety.
Continue sowing lettuce greens by planting a small batch of seeds every two weeks until daytime temperatures stay around 75 degrees. To beat advancing heat, choose fast-growing arugula and leaf lettuce, rather than slower-maturing, head-forming greens, such as radicchio and romaine.
Mosquitoes start multiplying as the weather grows warmer. Eliminate mosquito breeding sites at your home by draining excess water from anywhere water stands or collects.
Turn on water features every few days to discourage mosquitoes from those areas, too.
There are some chemicals that can be sprinkled in water features to deter mosquitoes. Be sure to read the labels carefully to ensure the chemicals won't harm birds, pets or beneficial insects that visit your garden.
A little maintenance will maintain your garden's beauty. After azaleas, camellias and rhododendrons finish blooming, remove spent blooms. Take care not to damage the new growth just beneath them. Feed the plants with a fertilizer especially developed for lovers of acidic soil.
Now that the days are warmer, it is time to trim back winter freeze damage from perennials.
As lawns start to need more water, make sure your sprinklers are covering the entire lawn area equally. Scatter a dozen equal-sized, flat-bottomed cans throughout the area while you water; then measure the water in each can and adjust your sprinklers if necessary.

Screenwriting: What Are You Doing Here?
Just your friendly reminder that 'Lilith' is now available for download and DVD pre-order. You can order both the download and DVD (which has tons of cool stuff the download doesn't have) directly from the distributor by clicking here, or by using the following link: http://store.nehst.com/lilithdvd.html
This isn't so much a lesson as it is an observation, but it's also a call to arms to break out of old habits. Someone told me a long time ago that the most commonly used line in all of cinema and television was the question "What are you doing here?" I shook my head and offered the smarmy rebuttal that it would more likely be the word "Hi" or "What's your name?
Many years have passed since that conversation and now I can't watch a single television program or movie without hearing the phrase what are you doing here uttered. It's so very true - the phrase is used everywhere - and I really started to wonder why. As I've been in the midst of these screenwriting posts and in the process of rewriting several scripts, I figured now was the best time to assess the usage of this question.
I started taking note of when the phrase was used and in what context, and at first its usage was quite obvious, which was to explain why some person who shouldn't be there is all of a sudden there. Then there's the inflections and emphasis used - what are you doing here, what are you doing here, and what are you doing here. The first variation is more of a misplacement, like a "Hey dickwad -you weren't chosen to be on the team." The second emphasis is a personal attack in the vein of "you're a dickwad - this foosball tournament is for people with actual talent." The third iteration is in relation to someone being in the wrong geography, sort of a "yeah, dickwad, this is the cool kids' table, the fuck are you doing here" variety.
The binding factor is that it's all about someone who's in a place where they're not supposed to be, and from a storytelling standpoint, it's the driver of a narrative in the most random-yet-feasible way. I started to see the use of the phrase as an easy out. If a screenwriter is stuck in a situation and has no idea how to get their characters out of a predicament, then just have someone show up, and then have them explain why they showed up.
Guy is being chased by a bunch of goons, is chased into an alley. He comes upon a dead end. Guns are drawn. Our hero doesn't have a weapon. He's a goner. Head goon utters a witty one-liner, something to do with revenge and fucking someone's mother. Our hero closes his eyes and awaits a shower of bullets, which rings out in a cacophony of violence. Our hero - still alive - opens his eyes and sees all the goons dead on the ground. Through the haze of gunsmoke walks a heavy-set woman carrying a submachine gun, wearing a floral print mu-mu and with curlers in her hair. Our hero looks at her and utters:
"Ma? What're you doing here?"
Any kind of explanation can follow ("I just happened to be in the neighborhood" or "Mindy told me all about the fake diamonds and said you'd be here") or it can be a lazy heat-of-the-moment excuse to delay the explanation ("We've got no time, I'll explain later!") or it can even be a rhetorical question ("I should ask you the same question, dickwad."). Any which way, our hero is magically pried out of his seemingly impossible predicament, momma's joined in the journey, and the situation just got a little bit more interesting.
So I can see why it's used all the fucking time in movies and television. Even some of the greatest movies of all time use it. But I can't help but think that it needs to be retired. For some reason it reeks of lazy writing to me, a quick patch for a tough situation. Sure there will always be the need for an element of surprise, but I think we need to figure out a different way to do it.
In both of my feature films - Lilith and 19 Revolutions - I purposely avoided using the phrase, and I'll be honest, it was not easy. It became very apparent that "what are you doing here" has been programmed into our brains from a very young age, and I was forced to find new, fresher ways to introduce characters or get my characters out of predicaments. By getting rid of "what are you doing here," I was put to the task of really fleshing out why someone would actually be in that place at that time, and it made my narratives that much stronger. The logic worked.
That's not to say we can't have random encounters in our stories. The terror and uneasiness of a character seeing her husband walking into a bar with another woman would naturally bring up the phrase of "what are you doing here," but try not to use that phrase. Think of another way to do it. Say she sees him, and looks at her cell phone, which has a text message from her husband saying "Hanging out with Greg, gonna be late." She walks up to him at the bar and surprises him by extending her hand to the other woman, saying "Hi. You must be Greg. I'm Esme, Steven's wife."
"Jesus H Christ - not this AGAIN."
Steven's reaction can also be a cliched "what are you doing here," but again, think harder, and make it more creative. "Are you following me?" can be a much more interesting response than "Esme, what are you doing here?"
Things become cliches because they've worked over and over again for us, and they're fail safe. But they're tired, and they make things predicable. And when things get predictable, they get boring. And we don't want to write boring stories. It's time we as writers should draft a "Dogma 2012" manifesto of the cliches we need to avoid. When I was in film school we did such a thing, ruling out the top cliches for our student films. There would be no shy guys who didn't know how to talk to the pretty girl. There would be no extended takes of people shaving or brushing their teeth. There would be no pictures of dead loved ones or exes on the piano. Suicide was never going to be an option for any characters - it's just too easy an out. Girls being chased by axe murderers can't trip and fall. Axe murderers - once they get a bullet in the head and are pronounced dead - cannot come back to life. Cats should not jump out of the dark. Men and women cannot orgasm at the same time. Shotguns need to be held with two hands. Luggage needs to be heavy (I'm amazed by people in movies hauling luggage that seems to weigh 10lbs). If our hero gets shot (in the shoulder, of course) - then he needs to dress that wound asap before he continues to fight.
Uh, you're probably gonna want to have that treated.
When you rule out the cliches, you're forced to find new ways to tell your stories. Sometimes you'll find that you just have to have cliche happen - mathematically, a man and a woman could very well orgasm at the same time - but then make sure that it has purpose and a narrative meaning. Make it happen for an interesting reason - a guy's having sex with an android that's programmed to climax when he does, because the manufacturer of the droid knows the importance of customer satisfaction and to not assault the ego of the buyer. Corporate sex, at your command.
Aaaand that's just creepy.
And don't cheat. You can't have someone ask "where did you come from" and have it replace "what are you doing here." That's like messing with the margins and font to meet the requirements of a one-page essay. Have fun with it - defying a cliche can make for the most seemingly random of dialogue and actions. How we react to something can be fascinating, and reacting in a manner that is not of the norm can be exhilarating. After an evil mastermind kills a dude, you can either make her laugh menacingly, or you can have her pick her nose until it bleeds. I ask you - which one is more interesting?

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Rockford Fosgate Punch P3S-1X8 by John Pollard Enclosed Subwoofers 101 An enclosed subwoofer is a box with a subwoofer already installed. The advantage to buying an enclosed sub is that the manufacturer made the sub, then designed and built the box as a perfect match, so you'll get the best possible performance. Every enclosed sub has a maximum RMS power handling rating, so pair it with an amp with a similar RMS power rating to get the best performance. Built tough Regular cab truck owners Rockford Fosgate feels your pain. They've designed their Punch Stage 3 shallow enclosures so you don't have to suffer without good bass. And they build these boxes for strength and durability, with a computer-optimized design that uses medium-density fiberboard and thick carpeting. Slim box, big bass The P3S-1X8 sealed enclosure measures only 6-1/4" deep at its bottom, so it'll fit in the space behind many regular truck cab seats. It comes preloaded with a single 8" Punch Stage 3 Shallow dual voice coil subwoofer that'll handle up to 150 watts RMS. The enclosure's low 1-ohm total impedance means it'll drive your amp to its max just make sure you pair it with a 1-ohm stable amplifier.

Features Punch Woofer: The enclosure houses one front-firing Rockford Fosgate Punch P3SD2-8 shallow mount 8" subwoofer. The dual 2-ohm voice coils are internally wired in parallel to present a 1-ohm load. The sub features a StampCast basket, an Anodized aluminum cone, and Santoprene surround. The integrated spider venting helps keep the subwoofer cool. Enclosure: The truck-style sealed enclosure is constructed with 1/2" MDF and covered with high density black carpet. The enclosure features high current spring posts of the right side. The box is shallow enough to fit behind the front seat of many standard cab pickups. Box Carpeting: The enclosure is finished with high-density black carpeting for superior durability. Speaker Terminal: The subwoofer enclosure uses one pair of high current, spring loaded binding posts. The binding posts are located on the right side of the box and will accept pin connectors, single or dual banana plugs, or bare wire up to 10 gauge. Power Handling: The subwoofer can handle up to 150 watts RMS, 300 watts peak. CEA-2031 Compliant: Power handling on the P3S-1x8 conforms to CEA-2031 industry standards. This means the subwoofer has the capacity to handle its rated power under continuous demand, not just for an instant. Dimensions: The depth dimensions listed in Features and Specs include the subwoofer's trim ring, which adds approximately 1 inch. The depth of just the enclosure is 5-1/4 inches at the base and 3-3/4 inches at the top.

Dice - The designer's perspective
Ralf Grösel is the designer of, and mastermind behind the highly successful Dice. Since its launch last year it has proved to be a bestseller, and is still the reigning champ as the most sold Kite from the North Kiteboarding range, EVER!
Ralf, what's the secret!?
The Dice is amazingly versatile with a lot of playful character.
As you were designing the Kite, did you have a specific type of rider in mind?
We built the foundations of the Dice by taking influence from the Neo concept. From this, we were able to target a wide range of riders. The Dice is an all-round performer, similar to the Evo but lighter due to its 3 strut design which is orientated towards enhanced handling.
Throughout the development process, we realised that everyone within the R&D Team enjoyed the Dice. From Wave to Wake and Freestyle riders, no one was left disappointed.
Can you tell us a little more about the three strut concept teamed with a four line bar ? The three strut concept delivers a lighter and crisper feeling to the rider via the bar. Being light in the hands is an important aspect of Wave riding as the Kite has to travel with the rider in a smooth, consistent way. The disadvantages come within the stiffness the structure has in the canopy however, we were able to compensate against this with a new bridle geometry and attachment points on the front tube.
Why is it so important to use the right line length?
Line length is essential for handling and positioning of the Kite within the Wind Window. Short lines make the Kite more reactive and responsive. Longer lines can improve low end performance.
What is the best line length suited to each size of Kite?
It's quite simple really. I suggest using 24m lines for 12m and above, otherwise I would use 22m.
What are the benefits of using the Dice regarding the following:
Turning abilities:
The Kite has a very round canopy radius, similar to a C-Kite. This means the Kite can turn very tight and fast.
Looping abilities:
The Dice has very close looping abilities to that of the Vegas although the horizontal pull is not as extreme, which can help you to push your limits. The Dice is Tom Court's favorite Kite for extreme Kite Loops and is also my first choice when it comes to strong and gusty conditions.
Jumping abilities:
The Dice has great jumping abilities. The Kite pulls you extremely high giving you the opportunity to perform new and old school tricks. I would recommend that riders use the hard steering setting on the back pigtails for high and aggressive jumps.
Drifting abilities:
Alongside the NEO, the Dice has very good drift. This performance helps the rider to fully concentrate on the Wave and not on the Kite.
Unhooked abilities:
For unhooked maneuvers, the Vegas is The machine however, the Dice has no backstall tendencies at all and great unhooked pop. This characteristic makes it a very versatile Kite for Wakestyle moves.
Ralf, who should buy this kite?
Kitesurfers who want to combine best of both worlds (Freestyle unhooked and Wave riding) For those looking for specialist, specific styles of riding there might be some small disadvantages. Ultimately, the Dice will make any rider happy on any board in any conditions, every single day.
The Dream Team of the future. Aaron Hadlow joins North Kiteboarding!
He is one of Kiteboarding' s most prestigious riders, 5 x World Champion and an inspiration to kiteboarders across the globe with his sheer style, ruthless technicality and British persona. The name has been seen on kites since 2008, boards since 2004 and he was landing double handle passes over 10 years ago. Bringing years of experience in product development, we are proud to announce that Aaron Hadlow has joined the North Kiteboarding Team.
At just 25 years old, Hadlow's kiteboarding career has been exceptional throughout. Forever advancing at a pace that left the rest of the PKRA competition fleet behind, Aaron has carved a name for himself deep into the kiteboarding industry. Having managed his own brand within Flexifoil for years, he speaks about how he is excited to be part of a team after a longtime being responsible for everything from product development and marketing, all the while trying to find time to train and travel on the PKRA tour.
Hadlow joins North Kiteboarding not only as a rider and Team member, but will be involved heavily in R&D. Between his extensive knowledge and time on the water, teamed with North Kiteboarding's product development and setup, it's as if the 'Dream Team' has finally joined forces and it's more that he could have ever imagined.
I'm excited about joining North Kiteboarding and it's great to be supported by such a knowledgeable and experienced team. It's obviously a massive step for me, but I feel that this partnership has a lot of synergy and potential."
So what's next? Hadlow joins a Team of life long friends such as Jaime Herraiz and Tom Court, so you can expect some great videos from Tom and Aaron as the work and travel together. North Kiteboarding also has PKRA riders Mario, Stefan and Reno to offer up some in-house healthy rivalry on the tour. And finally, next month Aaron will be headed to Hood River with the other Vegas riders for his first Team shoot, so stay tuned on how that goes.
Welcome to North Kiteboarding Aaron Hadlow!

Ken Winner about the new "Juice"
What do you say when your mobile phone is out of battery? You say it's out of Juice. What do you say when your kite doesn't have enough power? Again, you're out of juice. We can't help you with the first problem, but for the second . . . we have Juice.
There are at least three main types of big kites:
-There are the big race kites, which are fast and have big wind range but aren't generally the best for handling or jumping. These kites need at least five struts and need to be light, so they have to be lightly built and are not the most bomb-proof kites around.
-Then there are the big airstyle kites, which have great wind range and jumping but are slow turning. These kites don't have to be particularly light because they are flown in plenty of wind, but this means they aren't the best at staying in the air in light wind.
- Finally, there are the big handling-oriented kites. These have to be light, durable and quick-turning. They're good for jumping and popping in light wind, but can also go big when powered. Unlike airstyle kites, they need to be nimble and quick. Unlike race kites, it's ok if they're not the last word in upwind performance.
This is where the Juice comes in. The Juice is based roughly on the Neo arc, strut count, profile and outline, but the aspect ratio has been stretched from 4.5 to 5.3, and the leading edge diameter has been shrunk a bit. The center strut is conventional -- so as to improve overall stability -- and the back pigtail is conventional because a relaunch bungee won't work well on such a thick LE tip.
Big kites have so much canopy area that they can really benefit from the stability provided by a lot of struts. Unfortunately, struts also add a lot of weight. We opted for three struts on the Juice because this number provides the best combination of low weight, high durability and good canopy stability.
You might wonder why not build a big kite with minimal weight by eliminating all struts, and this is certainly something we've considered. But our experience indicates that the lack of structure in strutless kites robs them not only of top end comfort and depower but also low end power. Add this to the tip flutter in turns and the strutless option seem limited.
The Neo has a floating strut in the center to give more complete luffing when sheeted out. We felt this was desirable on a smaller kite like the Neo. For the Juice, however, which is a much bigger kite, we felt a conventional strut in the center would give needed canopy stability.
The Juice shares the Neo arc. This arc gives a high segment count for good profile fidelity. It also provides smooth and quick steering while keeping good depower and sheet-go power delivery.
Aspect Ratio
We know from testing a wide variety of kites that high aspect ratios can improve bar feel and depower in big kites by quite a bit. High AR can be overdone, as it can give an excessively long and heavy leading edge, but a moderate AR can be just right. With the Juice we found that an AR of 5.3 gave a nice short bar stroke without hurting other aspects of handling such as quick turning.
Canopy Profiles
Given how well the Neo is working, we decided to stick with Neo profiles for the Juice.
We like to have several bridle anchor points on the leading edge so that bridle loads on the leading edge are well distributed. This led us to go with eight front bridle anchors.
We also like a bridle as short as possible, to reduce the chances of tangles and snags. The shortest bridles we tested did not give the best bar feel or turning ability so we lengthened the bridle to the point where steering and bar feel were good. This left the bridle still short enough that it can't loop over the end of the leading edge.
Finally, we had to consider whether to go with a pseudo-pulley or fixed front pigtail. Since using a pulley would permit the Neo to work with a greater variety of safety systems, we decided to go with one pulley on each side of the front bridle. But we also knew that a pulley could make the kite feel a little less crisp and responsive. Fortunately, combining the pulley with a stopper – as we've done on the Neo and Dyno – allowed us to keep both the pulleys and the crisp bar feel that we were looking for.
Juice in summary
Steering / turning
Moderately narrow arc and wide tips give super-quick turning.
Drift / hover
The low weight, low strut count and low center of gravity of the Juice keep it very stable in the air. It flies well in the lightest of winds and resists stalling, both front and back, better than nearly any other kite.
Power delivery
Owing to the smooth, round turning and short bar stroke (for kites this big), the Juice has consistent, linear, sheet-go power delivery.
The high aspect ratio helps deliver quick, easy depower.
We've minimized materials where possible on the Juice, so keep the weight down, but have included all usual reinforcements.
Court's Council - Product Tips & Tricks
After getting a lot of questions from people on the beaches of the world, Tom Court decided to start a little series of videos on how to do those little things that nobody ever tells you how to do.
So, Courts Council will be an ongoing series explaining some of the things that help. It is a video blog for all the useful product tip & tricks that Tom Court learns along the ways.
Any questions that you have about you northkiteboarding equipment, bars, boots, boards or kites... then hopefully he can help you with this series of short clips listing some of the lesser know tricks that will help you trim your kite to your style!

Tom Court talks testing the Gambler!
Tom Court is NKB's wakestyle guru with a passion for freeriding. He may still be young but he is long in the tooth when it comes to riding boots and hitting rails. At just 14 he was shaping some of his own kiteboards on the Isle of Wight which attracted the attention of Channel 4 who made a documentary series on it. Now, with years of experience under his belt and a longterm sponsorship with North Kiteboarding, he has pushed the development of the Gambler and has become the go-too guy for NKB. We caught up with him to find out what he looks for in a board, where he draws his inspiration and how he goes about testing the product.
When did you first notice there was a gap in the North Range for the Gambler?
7 Years ago I started riding boots and i've never looked back. Soon after I was hitting rails and features and spending time at the cable park which has been a big influence in my style of riding. This basically opened up what I saw as a gap in the North Kiteboarding range to design a board to be ridden specifically with boots.
Before the Gambler, the existing boards in the range such as the Team Series, the Jaime and other 'rider' models were just too flat and very similar. The only real changing factor was the flex pattern. This was all great when riding straps but for my style of riding there needed to be alterations in the rocker and materials used. It was inevitable that progression of wakestyle would grow, which it did and immediately I saw a need for something stronger and more durable.
Once North Kiteboarding hopped on the idea to create the Gambler what was the process and where was inspiration drawn from.
Inspiration was drawn from the existing wakestyle kite scene. There was a desire for a something that you could use as a crossover. Basically, I wanted one board that I could take on a trip, ride cable and kite without too much of a compromise and I knew there were many kiteboarders out there looking for the same thing. We looked at taking the durability from a wakeboard in order to hit rails constantly without damaging the board, and the efficient design and high tech materials from a kiteboard. At the end of the day we still have to go upwind! It has taken about 3 years to get enough rocker on the board, but we are getting there. (laughs)
As a rider, it has been a really interesting process to be involved in developing something specific to my style of riding. Now that Craig Cunningham has joined the NKB Team, it helps in focusing the Gambler down the specific rail riding route. It's huge in the US so it's great that he can bring a lot of his knowledge to the table.
Constant development is needed. How do you test the prototypes and what are you looking for?
Testing a board like the Gambler requires a lot of different elements. Riding intensively behind a kite is crucial but also using it at the cable and behind a boat helps to add perspective to the overall functionality. I'm always searching for the ideal flex pattern in order for the board to press correctly under the transfer of weight. This pattern needs to eliminate torsional flex (twisting motion) which you can get a lot of when riding boots as there is a lot more leverage then with footstraps. I evaluate the base material for wear and damage as this happens quicker than you think when hitting the obstacles. How the board is tracking in the water with and without fins. The rocker pattern is key as too much rocker means you can't go upwind on a kite efficiently, and too little will have you sticking to the features and unable to ride away on the landings. The track system has to be compatible and work with all types of boots and be able to endure hard landings and crashes. The list is endless for testing and then of course there is the graphic design side. It's amazing to see how much hard work and development goes into just one board!
What's the best thing about the current Gambler?
It's weight and efficiency. If you combine the Gambler with Ronix boots it is easily the lightest wakestyle board on the market with little or no compromise to durability. Even though it has a fairly high rocker aspect it still retains maximum efficiency when going upwind.
You're testing at the moment for next year. Where is the Gambler headed in your opinion?
The next step with the Gambler is to start really experimenting with different materials all over. The materials are the things that have huge influence over the characteristics of the board. The future of the Gambler is to drive it down a more specified route angled towards getting maximum time on the water. Wind, or no wind this board will cater for kiting and riding cable regardless of the conditions or aspect of riding you are trying to refine. It will be the ultimate crossover board that you can have confidence in no matter the task in hand.
The Gambler sounds like a pretty specific and high tech board? Is it a board that can be ridden by anyone or any level?
Fundamentally the Gambler is nothing more than a comfortable board to ride when in boots. If you want to use it with straps, it may have just a bit too much rocker but, if you're good enough to ride boots confidently behind a kite and you like the cable then the Gambler is the board for you.

Growboxes! (First Garden Update for 2008)
30 comments:
- nika said...
They look super fantastic! I cant wait to see how it all grows.. re: grass... rip it out, put some of that good soil there too and grow lettuces!
see this link for how other people are eating their lawns :-)
Thanks for sharing your new garden beds :-)
- April 13, 2008 at 12:45 PM
- Peter M said...
Yay, the garden's coming soon! Lot's of herbs and veggies to blog about and I'll share with you later on bringing your herbs into the house so you won't have to freeze as much or rely on dried...okay?
- April 13, 2008 at 1:13 PM
- Simona said...
Very nice! I am getting a new space myself this week, hopefully, but much smaller than yours. However, yesterday at the farmers' market I could not resist and I have already bought some plants. Greedy me.
- April 13, 2008 at 2:00 PM
- Lydia (The Perfect Pantry) said...
First, I want your brothers -- both Mark and Rand are so talented! Second -- what are the boxes made of? Treated wood, cedar, pine? I've been thinking of doing something similar in a part of my yard that gets sun but has terrible soil, so I'll be watching this summer to see how your garden grows.
- April 13, 2008 at 3:11 PM
- Annemarie said...
Wow - what a fabulous space for growing veg! I had the husband out helping me get our veg patch sorted this weekend, but in a 45 x 35 foot garden, a 10 x 3 foot veg patch is about all we can allot. Still, ambitions are high, peas and leafy greens are planted, and I'm looking forward to the eating (if not the weeding).

i am growing tomatoes too! just one pot though -- can't wait to see your progress!
- April 13, 2008 at 5:18 PM
- Kalyn said...
Thanks everybody for the nice gardeny thoughts. No seed suggestions?
Nika, no way to tearing up the grass. I have more garden/flowers than I can take care of already. Not to mention that my garden is huge enough. Lettuce doesn't grow well here anyway, it gets too hot too fast.
Lydia, the beds are made from treated wood of some kind, relatively inexpensive compared to redwood. I'll find out just what it is from my brother.
I am jealous of you guys who have plants already, or even more jealous of those who have things planted. I have a few weeks of hard work before I can do much planting. I'm guessing my car will be spontaneously turning into the garden center after work some nights this week though.
- April 13, 2008 at 6:55 PM
- Kalyn said...
BTW, forgot to say, I also have a great brother named Dave and several brother-in-laws who also help me a lot. My sister-in-laws and sisters are also great. Yes, I do feel very lucky.
- April 13, 2008 at 6:56 PM
- Linda said...
simply beautiful. how lovely you are able to grow your very own tomatoes!!! best of luck with the rest of the growing season.
- April 13, 2008 at 7:44 PM
- Sara said...
Wow what a great garden! I miss my garden in Calgary, and I'm looking forward to putting one in our new backyard.
Can't wait for your garden updates this year!
- April 13, 2008 at 10:40 PM
- Kate said...
you should check out square foot gardening... it looks like you're going in the right direction, and i've heard great success stories from it!
- April 13, 2008 at 11:29 PM
- Pille said...
Love your growboxes! I am still only starting my garden, so all good gardening tips are handy!
I spent about 2 hours planting various seeds into seedling containers (it will be another few weeks before it's warm enough to plant anything outside). Herbs, lettuces (incl. pakchoy), artichokes, tomatoes, various radishes. I'll wait with peas, beans, beets and onions until I can sow them straight outside).

- Virginie Péan said...
A post that smells Spring so much. Thanks for it, cold and rain we've got now in France is so depressing.
- April 14, 2008 at 4:05 AM
- Kalyn said...
Yes, I had forgotten about square foot gardening. Will check into that for sure. Pille, great suggestion for Bok Choy! Also I was excited when you mentioned radishes. I've never been able to grow them with the rocky soil. That's probably one of the first things I'll plant!
- April 14, 2008 at 6:31 AM
OH, those grow boxes look promising for many vegetables this summer. Our Houston winter was mild and I got to set out my tomato plants in February. I have 3 tomatoes and a pepper already. I am excited and always count at first to keep up with the production of my backyard garden==9 tomato plants, 3 peppers, okra and herbs. Have fun gardening.
- April 14, 2008 at 7:53 AM
When we moved back to California from Holland a year ago, we wanted to continue to 'eat our lawn' as we had in Holland. My husband took out all of the lawn(and weeds), made raised beds, and planted many vegetables. We are now eating the salads and smiling as we savor the delicious taste. We also have a dwarf citrus tree in front of each box, and herbs around the boxes.So lovely and not one spot of ground wasted. We sit on the patio by the pool, watch the hummingbirds in their garden section, and enjoy life as it should be, chemical free and using what God gave us to the best advantage.

You're going to LOVE them! :)

- TBTAM said...
Am so jealous you have a real ground to work in. Container gardening is much more restrictive, and I don't have much luck with veggies other than herbs.
Looking forward to updates as the season preogresses...
- April 14, 2008 at 11:22 AM
- KayKat said...
Veggie gardens rock! Raised or contained beds are truly so effective when growing vegetables, even if this looks like a load of work :)
- April 15, 2008 at 3:41 AM
- Neen said...
I'm really looking forward to reading updates about your garden through 2008. Never mind the picket fence, I harbor a not-so-secret desire to some day settle down long enough to have a backyard/patio/window box/anything garden. Until we settle down some place for longer than a year (which in no way could happen before summer 2009 :(, I'll just keep dreaming and gaze longingly at your photos. Thanks for sharing!
- April 15, 2008 at 4:48 AM
- helen said...
Wow! You are so lucky Kalyn! I am desperately trying to grow veg on my small London balcony. It's tricky!
- April 15, 2008 at 5:58 AM

Very nice Kalyn! I'm looking forward to hearing and seeing more!
- April 15, 2008 at 7:13 AM
- Wandering Chopsticks said...
Yay for gardening posts. And yay for such an awesome brother! I've been thinking of making boxes for my garden too so I'll be interested in seeing how yours turns out.
- April 15, 2008 at 5:54 PM
- Christine said...
I really like the way the boxes are laid out, Kalyn. You're on your way to happier gardening! And cheers to you for having such a dedicated brother.
- April 15, 2008 at 7:09 PM
- jasmine said...
I'd love to have grow boxes, but alas the condo people won't let me. Not even sure if I can do a container garden :(
Was looking into planting herbs in the front garden (which I do have some control over), but apparently the soil is too rich.
- April 15, 2008 at 7:36 PM
- Mark Dutch Oven said...
Hey, thanks for hitting my Dutch Oven blog.
Just this last week, we decided to make some "growboxes". We got the book on "Square Foot Gardening" and got excited. In fact, on the way home from that DO event, I bought the vermiculite to mix into the soil.
And, of course, being a cooker, I'm going to follow your postings on the homegrown herbs with fascination!
- April 20, 2008 at 2:58 PM
I noticed you said the boxes were made out of treated wood. Since this wood usually has chemicals in it is it safe? Also did you put anything on the bottom before putting in the dirt? I just dug my garden up myself and it is a job. couldn't get anyone to rototill it.
- May 19, 2012 at 7:39 PM
- Kalyn said...
The wood is treated with something to make it last longer outdoors, but I'm sure it's safe. There is nothing under the box, just dirt.

This product should only be installed to keep the OEM look of your vehicle OR if your vehicle's factory audio system is exotic. Consider this product if you own an Audi, BMW, Mercedez or VW. If you are not capable of installing the product on your own consider something else because you will have to purchase (Satellite Radio, HD Radio, bluetooth). By time you pay for the install you've arrived at a price of $-$$. I'm experianced with component installations and while the install was similiar to a receiver there were some differences you should consider. There are a LOT of cables to run and hide. Because of the numbers of cables run through different locations of the car the install took about twice as long as a normal receiver. You must get the exact Satellite radio that's listed in the manual (Starmate 8 or XM Edge), the newer ones (Onyx) even with the same dock don't work as I found out. The sat radio should turn on when you browse to satellite on the KOS, if it doesn't turn on your radio isn't compatible. Pros: Control interface is nice, its the best aftermarket interface I've used. It resembles the BMW infotainment controls. The whole system is flexible once installed. I can attach just about any audio source now that its installed. The sources are: iPOD, iPhone through bluetooth and stream audio such as pandora and phone calls, USB flash drive, AUX in (just to test the connections at the end of the install) and satellite Radio. Not bad for the price Cons: Lengthy installation. The product manual and documentation is terrible, there's not much information on google either. There's a lot of cables to run and hide and some cables, like the KAB to Satellite Radio dock are thick! I had a heck of a time running the KAB cable from the sat dock in the glove compartment to the KOS under the passenger seat because the cable is 5/8" thick! 13 out of 16 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

This is just wonderful - all of it. I am practicing not eating my project, at least not prematurely. It is not easy. I was going to ask for advice, but seems you suffer from the same issue. :)ReplyDelete
It helps if you paint earlier in the day = more resistance to temptation IMHO.ReplyDelete
Prematurely eating your project could be the title of a self-help book...
Oh, my!! What wonderful treats. My favourite memory of Berthillon is buying my cone (cassis, probably), sitting by the river eating it, and sharing bits of the cone with a little sparrow who came and sat beside me. Happy sigh!ReplyDelete

Hello Carol, just found your blog about a week ago. And I LOVE it. Went to Paris in April for the first time, and just planning to go back again. And when I found your blog, it makes me to want to do ONLY a patisserie tour this time, and see all the places you are posting about. Thank you for the yummy pictures and beautifull paintings. Btw. Im also a big fan of tart au citron,and salted caramel. But who could resist ? Greetings from PragueReplyDelete
.. such a special isle and shop ... we last had two scoops ... green tea and lavender .. it was yum ... love your art, captured perfectly ... cheersReplyDelete
Carol, as another caramel fan, I thank you for the close up views of ice cream and pastries of Berthillon. Elegant tradition and fresh modernity meet exquisitely inside that doorway.ReplyDelete
Can you imagine that I have yet to have my first ice cream of summer? Something's going wrong around here, as the old tune goes. I must remedy this situation today... if the rain holds off.
May even it the rain does not hold off! xo
No Caramel au beurre salé should be a punishable offense, against the rights of man! I have fond memories of Jeannie and I walking over to Île St Louis after dinner for a scoop and a quiet stroll along the Quai. And for me it was always caramel au beurre saléReplyDelete

Document Length and Relevance Ranking
Large-scale Search
Practical Relevance Ranking for 11 Million Books, Part 1
Practical Relevance Ranking for 11 Million Books, Part 1
This is the first in a series of posts about our work towards practical relevance ranking for the 11 million books in the HathiTrust full-text search application.
A Tale of Two Solrs
When we first started working on large scale search we confronted the issue of whether to index pages or complete books as our fundamental unit of indexing.[i] We had some concerns about indexing on the page level. We knew we would need to scale to 10-20 million books and at an average of 300 pages per book that comes out to about 6 billion pages. At that time we did not think that Solr would scale to 6 billion pages.[ii] If we indexed by page, we also wanted to be able
Multilingual Issues Part 1: Word Segmentation
At the core of the Solr/Lucene search engine is an inverted index. The inverted index has a list of tokens and a list of the documents that contain those tokens. In order to index text, Solr needs to break strings of text into "tokens." In English and Western European languages spaces are used to separate words, so Solr uses whitespace to determine what is a token for indexing. In a number of languages the words are not separated by spaces.
Forty Days and Forty Nights: Re-indexing 7+ million books (part 1)
Forty days forty nights: Re-indexing 7+ million books (part 1)
Forty days and forty nights; That's how long we estimated it would take to re-index all 7+ million volumes in HathiTrust. Because of this forty day turnaround time, when we found a problem with our current indexing, we were reluctant to do a complete re-index. Whenever feasible we would just re-index the affected materials.
Too Many Words Again!
After Mike McCandless increased the limit of unique words in a Lucene/Solr index segment from 2.4 billion words to around 274 billion words, we thought we didn't need to worry about having too many words (See http://www.hathitrust.org/blogs/large-scale-search/too-many-words). We recently discovered that we were wrong!
Making personal collections from Large Scale Search Results
We just released a new feature in our full-text Large Scale Search. When you do a search,you will see check boxes next to each search result. You can select items you want from the search results and create a personal collection. This should make it much easier to do repeated searches and explore a targeted subset of the HathiTrust volumes. If you are not logged in, the collection will be temporary. If you log in you can save the collection permanently.
Too Many Words!
When we read that the Lucene index format used by Solr has a limit of 2.1 billion unique words per index segment, we didn't think we had to worry. However, a couple of weeks ago, after we optimized our indexes on each shard to one segment, we started seeing java "ArrayIndexOutOfBounds" exceptions in our logs. After a bit of investigation we determined that indeed, most of our index shards contained over 2.1 billion unique words and some queries were triggering these exeptions. Currently ea
Performance at 5 million volumes
On November 19, 2009, we put new hardware into production to provide full-text searching against about 4.6 million volumes. Currently we have about 5.3 million volumes. The average response time is about 3 seconds, 90% of queries take under 4 seconds, 9% of queries take between 4 seconds and 24 seconds, and 1% of queries take longer than 24 seconds.
Scaling up Large Scale Search from 500,000 volumes to 5 Million volumes and beyond
To scale up from 500,000 volumes of full-text to 5 million, we decided to use Solr's distributed search feature which allows us to split up an index into a number of separate indexes (called "shards"). Solr's distributed search feature allows the indexes to be searched in parallel and then the results aggregated so performance is better than having a very large single index.
