Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP)
What is Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and what's in this workshop?
Complex or important decisions should not be based solely on
instinct. Whether prioritizing customer needs in QFD, making budget decisions
involving a variety of tangible and intangible strategic goals, managing
conflicting stakeholders, or selecting from among dozens or hundreds of
alternative initiatives to be pursued, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) can help managers and developers
combine all of this information and make informed decisions.
Participants in this tutorial will receive MS Excel templates (or a trial version of AHP software when permitted) and instruction for:
This Tutorial may be offered at the QFD Institute Symposium on QFD or at your company location as an in-house training. The QFD Green Belt® Certificate Course also covers the basics of AHP and how to apply it in QFD analysis. The course includes templates for AHP, House of Quality, and Modern QFD work objects.

Mount Healthy North Elementary School is vying for a $20,000 prize and officials say they need your help to win.
It is the only southwest Ohio school entered in the 2011 Lots2Give contest, sponsored by Big Lots. To enter the contest, schools submitted a 90-second video and a brief essay on why their school could use some additional financial support.
One $20,000 grand prize, four $5,000 first prizes and 30 $2,000 second prizes will be awarded.
The focus of North's video is while the school can use the cash, it is rich – in people. Big Lots encourages the public to cast a ballot for their favorites and help support education at the same time.
North Elementary Principal Jenni Moody says if her school wins the money, it will be spent on additional technology for students. She said her teachers are already seeing the benefits of the new technology they received when the new school building opened in the fall.
"We'd like to get tablets for the students to use with the white boards in the classrooms," she said.
Go to www.biglots.com/lots2give/vote/index#spotlight-iframe and cast your three votes for North each day. You can narrow the search on the site by state and the school is listed as North Elementary School. Voting ends at 11:59 p.m. Monday, July 4. Winners will be announced on Aug. 13.
"The Lots2Give program makes a positive impact on schools in need across the country," said CEO Steve Fishman in a statement. "We invite America to join us in selecting the winners of our Lots2Give video contest and promoting an important cause."
Along with the Lots2Give video contest, participating schools will be the recipients of an in-store donation program. Now through July 4, customers can help selected schools by donating $1 or $5 at participating Big Lots stores and 100 percent of donations will go to the participating schools.

Our society is losing its collective mind.Our technology has evolved but in this process our free time slipped away.We are always more occupied with blogs,tweets and facebook updates so there is nothing to talk about even to family members. We reach out for the cup of steaming coffee handed over to us little caring whether that hand that offered the coffee has to be thanked even. We just demand money from the head of the family as if it is our birthright forgettting that the parent whose offspring we are, the labor of love's fruit so to say whom we dump in their old age in the old age home,shelling out a few hundred rupees for their upkeep among strange environs.The old wrinkled hand which earned its wrinkles trying to shower its love upon the child. The wobbling legs which once stood firm on the ground to make you the man/woman you now are is left with a crutch a walking stick. Does that parent need that aritificial crutch for support?

I dont think that true love has died in our society but it has definitely taken a back seat with newly found priorities. People dont show their love for parents,love for siblings because they dont actually get time for it,so a good way to keep that feeling alive is by taking some moments out of our busy lives for our family & friends. As far as love between husband & wife or boy & girl is concerned,people have found a number of alternate ways to fulfill that feeling of true love (which unfortunately they dont get) but they actually are just ways to satisfy physical need. So its upto us that whether we want true love or just physical satisfaction.Answered by Shikha Aggarwal, 22 Nov '09 07:07 pm
No, not at all, Love is still flurishing.. only thing we are too occupied to ralish it.. the world of competition and high cost living..and falsification in statusquo and being the best are making us lonely.. this loneliness is the cause of longingness of true LOVE.. Yes, we all are looking for true love with is available all around but only thing we are not able to match with the right person at right place..Answered by Sharmila Bose, 22 Nov '09 01:01 pm
Love as a sense of affection is slowly losing its meaning / relevance. Look at this simple truth ---how many these days take care of their aged parents. Hardly any one has the time for it because every one is after worldly pleasures / comforts. Due to this aged parents are becoming a liability for many and consequently many old parents are landing in old age homes. What a sad reality. If it is not an example for love dying----then what it is?Answered by Good Citizen, 22 Nov '09 02:17 pm

Husband and wife team Jaclyn Holsey and Shawn Goudie share creative theatrical duties at American Blues Theater in Chicago. But they are also a great kitchen duo.
Holsey usually handles the dinner duty while Goudie considers himself the "breakfast man."
The couple are currently working on "It's a Wonderful Life! Live at the Biograph!" Holsey is the theater's general manager and resident stage manager while Goudie works as a Foley artist. In "It's a Wonderful Life! Live at the Biograph," Foley artists provide the sounds and special effects of the show that's done in a radio-style format. The production runs through Dec. 30. FYI: (773) 871-3000 or americanbluestheater.com.
Goudie said among his breakfast specialties are omelets, pizza waffles and other egg dishes.
Holsey's favorites include a Thai chicken dish, tater tot casserole and baked goods including the special chocolate chip cookies she makes to give to audience members after each "It's a Wonderful Life!" show.
"My mom was my teacher and mentor," Holsey said, about learning to cook. Among the lessons she taught her were to "make (recipes) up as you go along" and don't be afraid to experiment. She also considers Julia Child an inspiration.
"I liked her sense of experimentation and her relaxed attitude," she said.
Goudie adds: "I admire anybody that makes anything look tasty." He said Chef Jeff from the Food Network is a particular favorite.
When it comes to enjoying ethnic foods, the couple said they like a variety of dishes. Holsey's favorite is Indian.
"It's Mexican for me," said Goudie.
Holsey, who said their work schedules in the theater sometimes get in the way of making regular meals butid she's always looking for interesting dishes to create.
'I've discovered the wonders of Crock Pot cooking," she said.
The couple like the fact that after every show this holiday season, they and the entire cast have gotten to mingle with the audience while sharing the special cookies as well as giving attendees the opportunity to walk around the set, and learn Foley lessons on how to create the radio sound effects.
Need another cookie recipe this season? Try your hand at Holsey's creation. She said they're easy to make and are a great treat for not only the holidays but any time of year.
"This is like a traditional chocolate chip cookie except for the addition of cream cheese and baking for slightly less time. The cream cheese keeps the cookies very moist for a long time – pop in the microwave for that 'fresh out of the oven' experience," she said.
Chocolate Chip Cookies
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 cups (12-oz. pkg.) semi-sweet chocolate chips
DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, cream cheese, sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto baking sheets. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes or until (light) golden brown.

Catholic New York (www.cny.org)
Popular culture calls you the "Millennial Generation" because you came of age at the dawn of the Millennium. But I think of you as the "Ultrasound Generation." You are different than any generation that came before you in that your very first baby pictures were taken not with you in your mother's arms, but you alive in her womb.
Catholic New York (www.cny.org)
1/27/2013 (1 year ago)
Published in U.S.
Keywords: Millenial generation, March for Life, Ultrasound, Cardinal Timothy Dolan, Ultrasound generation, March for Life, Roe v Wade
NEW YORK, NY (Catholic New York) - As we mark the solemn 40th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision, I would like to address my column this week to our teens and young adults, who I believe will ultimately prevail in restoring a sense of respect for all human life, including the innocent baby in her mother's womb. Please feel free to share this column with a young adult in your life, or ask them to look for it at Catholic New York.
For much of the 40 years since the Supreme Court's tragic Roe v. Wade decision ushering in an era of abortion on demand, we in the pro-life community have had little to cheer about. In the battle for hearts and minds, it has at times seemed as though we were losing ground, and fast.
We could preach about the sacredness of all human life, about the harm that abortion does to women who are so often coerced by others into doing the unthinkable, and the lifetime of pain and regret so many of them, and the fathers of the aborted baby, face as a result.
For a long time we were overwhelmed by even louder voices proclaiming "choice" to be the ultimate right. For too many of my generation, that argument was effective and catchy, and there is no changing their minds.
This civil rights issue of our time-the right to life of the innocent baby in the womb-won't be won by the older generation; it will be won by the young. It is to you that I address this message on this solemn anniversary.
Popular culture calls you the "Millennial Generation" because you came of age at the dawn of the Millennium. But I think of you as the "Ultrasound Generation." You are different than any generation that came before you in that your very first baby pictures were taken not with you in your mother's arms, but you alive in her womb.
Your generation is defined by technology. You have come to expect almost annual revolutionary technological breakthroughs that change the way we live and work. You have seen staggering medical advances that have given doctors wonderful new tools in fighting disease and injury. And you have grown up with ultrasound technology that has opened a window into the womb, allowing us to glimpse preborn babies from the earliest weeks of gestation.
You have seen your little brothers and sisters before they were born in these grainy videos and photographs pinned to the fridge. Your mom or your dad has shown you those first images of yourself. Some of you have even seen your own children for the first time with newer, clearer 3- and 4-dimensional ultrasound technology. You have gasped with wonder at the sight of little arms flailing and legs kicking, heads bobbing and hearts beating, mouths sucking thumbs.
You have seen, and you believe.
Let's face it, you figured out a long time ago that your parents' generation isn't always right. So many have tried to convince you (as they have allowed themselves to be convinced) that an unborn baby is nothing more than a "clump of cells." College professors, politicians, Hollywood glitterati, and media talking heads have hammered you with the message that the decision to abort has no more moral significance than having a wisdom tooth extracted. To be an enlightened adult, you will be told, you must support the "right to choose." (They won't tell you what, or who is being chosen.)
You are rightly skeptical. They may believe what they say, but in this matter they are wrong. Think of your first baby picture, the one on the flimsy paper with the dark background and the unmistakable image of you. You know better.
You have seen, and you believe.
I know it is not easy to go against the prevailing culture. But your generation has not been afraid to be countercultural. Besides, I have good news for you-you are not alone. The pro-abortion movement's dark secret is that it has been losing the hearts and minds of young people for a number of years. And now the secret is out.
Just last month, the head of the nation's largest abortion advocacy organization, stepped down, citing the need for someone younger to try to engage youth. Interestingly, she seemed to acknowledge that her side is losing you, the "Ultrasound Generation."
"The intensity on that side will not go away," she told the media. "They come to this issue as young people who want to overturn Roe v. Wade, and they're going to do everything in their power. That view might change as they grow older and reality hits and personal experience happens, but right now the personal intensity is pretty high on that side."
You know what? She's right! I have seen that intensity myself in the young New Yorkers who pray at abortion clinics, lobby in Albany and climb onto buses in the pre-dawn darkness to join their fellow pro-lifers at the March for Life in Washington, D.C., as we'll do this Friday. When I look out into the sea of faces out on the Mall in the shadow of the Washington Monument, I see you. You know who I see when I look at the rallies on the pro-abortion side? I see people my age and older.
That pro-abortion leader and others like her are counting on you having some sort of grand epiphany once you get older and, as she said, "reality hits." But what they aren't counting on is that when you saw yourself, your kid brother or sister, your own child, in that ultrasound photo, reality did hit. And it hit hard.
You have seen, and you believe.
But here's the tough part: It is not enough that you believe. It is not enough that you are sympathetic to the cause. Don't get me wrong, I am thrilled to know that so many of you in the "Ultrasound Generation" are pro-life. But this can't be a secret anymore. You need to proclaim it. It can't come from me or from people my age; our time is rapidly passing. Now is your time.
My time has seen 55 million abortions in the United States since 1973. That is almost exactly the population of New York State and California combined. A number that big can seem abstract, but you know intuitively that these 55 million people were your peers, your siblings. One of them could easily have been you.
In New York City, four out of every 10 pregnancies end in abortion, double the national average, mostly poor Black and Latino women. In some parts of New York City, the number is 6 in 10. Yet some of our elected officials in Albany are pushing a bill, believe it or not, to expand abortion access even further. It's as though, in their minds, our state motto, "Excelsior" ("Ever Upward") applies to the abortion rate!
Sometimes, it falls to one generation to clean up another generation's mess. And I'm afraid we have left you quite a mess. I am asking you, the "Ultrasound Generation," to set the course right, to change hearts and minds, to change the law so that your children's generation is given the legal protection that your generation so tragically was not. Ultimately, I am counting on you to change our culture.
My faith in you is high. For I have seen, and I believe-in you.

Two years before my father died, he and I swam together. He was 79, and though weakened by age, and recovering from a stroke, Dad churned through the water, slow but steady, like a steamboat on the Mississippi. He was always an expert swimmer and graceful diver, and he had insisted that all seven of his children learn to swim at an early age. I competed—happily, despite mediocre results— until I was 12 or so, but my most pleasurable aquatic experiences took place well beyond the confines of pools. I've never been able to resist the allure of open water, plunging gleefully, sometimes recklessly, into rivers, lakes, and seas everywhere I've traveled. … Back to Article

Nipsey Hussle - Crenshaw and Slauson (True Story)
Writing all day. Putting this here to bookmark my mentality.

My point in the song is that the American people haven't been given a fair share at learning the true history of the American Indian. They know neither the state of poverty that the Indians are in now nor how it got to be that way. I try to tell the side of the story that's left out of the history books, that can only be found in the documents, the archives and in the memories of the Indians themselves.

Shouts to Alexander for hipping me to billy woods the other day. Not sure how his music slipped under my radar (especially because I actually met the cat over a year ago), but I'm an instant fan.

UNT professor's study could lead to treatments to fight cancer
DENTON (UNT), Texas — Oxygen deprivation is one of the most relevant problems in medicine today. According to scientific studies, oxygen deprivation causes and impacts several heart and lung diseases. Lack of oxygen also plays a key role in cancerous tumors not responding to radiation and chemotherapy treatment.
Now, thanks to a University of North Texas professor's research about genetics, oxygen deprivation, and arrest of cell division, scientists are one step closer to destroying tumor cells and rescuing damaged tissue.
UNT Assistant Biology Professor Dr. Pamela Padilla, conducted research to study oxygen deprivation and C. elegans — a soil nematode (commonly called a round worm). The article, titled Suspended Animation in C. elegans Requires the Spindle Checkpoint, appears in the Nov. 7 issue of Science magazine.
Padilla's co-researchers for the study were Dr. Mark Roth, a faculty member at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, and Hutchinson graduate students Todd Nystul and Jesse Goldmark.
"When faced with oxygen deprivation, some organisms like the nematode learn to survive through an on-off genetic mechanism," Padilla said. "This mechanism initiates a state of suspended animation, then reverses this state when oxygen is available."
Padilla said learning how this type of genetic function is related to suspended animation — a death-like condition — could have a role in developing treatments to destroy certain diseased cells in humans.
Padilla's research links the fields of how whole organisms respond to oxygen deprivation, and how cells arrest division. She is the first researcher to prove that proteins involved with cell division are shown to be involved with allowing a developing embryo to survive oxygen deprivation.
Certain proteins become active during a cell division process known as the spindle checkpoint. This checkpoint occurs during cell division when chromosomes are about to separate from each other to form new cells.
Padilla's research demonstrates that the spindle checkpoint proteins SAN-1 and MDF-2, engage in cell cycle arrest to protect the organism against loss of oxygen.
Since the spindle checkpoint occurs throughout the animal kingdom, Padilla's findings leave open the possibility that suspended animation may be preserved from worms to mammals. She said the implications of this discovery could have far-reaching effects on arresting development of diseased tissues in human beings.
For more information about Padilla's research, you may refer to the Nov. 7 issue of Science magazine, or view the web site at http://www.sciencemag.org/content/current/. Padilla may be contacted by calling the attendant at UNT Biology Department at (940) 565-2011.

Will You Drink Fukushima Milk?
How do you feel about drinking milk with trace radiation from Fukushima's nuclear disaster, even if our government assures us there's no health hazard? From US News:
… Read the rest
In an update to its ongoing radiation monitoring following the Fukushima Daiichi reactor crisis in Japan, U.S. government officials announced late Wednesday that milk sampled March 25 in Washington state contained low levels of radiation not likely to cause harm to humans.
In a statement released jointly by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency, the two agencies said that their screening of milk from Spokane, Wash., showed levels of iodine-131 that were "more than 5,000 times lower than the Derived Intervention Level" set by the FDA.
The level of iodine-131 found in the Spokane milk is "far below levels of public health concern, including for infants and children," the FDA and the EPA both said.
Fukushima Radioactive Fallout Nears Chernobyl Levels
Reported by a source no less than the New Scientist:
… Read the rest
Japan's damaged nuclear plant in Fukushima has been emitting radioactive iodine and caesium at levels approaching those seen in the aftermath of the Chernobyl accident in 1986. Austrian researchers have used a worldwide network of radiation detectors – designed to spot clandestine nuclear bomb tests – to show that iodine-131 is being released at daily levels 73 per cent of those seen after the 1986 disaster. The daily amount of caesium-137 released from Fukushima Daiichi is around 60 per cent of the amount released from Chernobyl.
The difference between this accident and Chernobyl, they say, is that at Chernobyl a huge fire released large amounts of many radioactive materials, including fuel particles, in smoke. At Fukushima Daiichi, only the volatile elements, such as iodine and caesium, are bubbling off the damaged fuel. But these substances could nevertheless pose a significant health risk outside the plant.
Japan's Safety Regulators: Fukushima No. 3 Nuclear Reactor May Have Been Breached
David Jolly & Hiroko Tabuchi report in the NY Times:
… Read the rest
TOKYO — Japan's effort to contain the crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant suffered a setback, an official said on Friday, citing evidence that the reactor vessel of the No. 3 unit may have been damaged.
The development, described at a news conference by Hidehiko Nishiyama, deputy director-general of the Japan Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency, raises the possibility that radiation from the mox fuel in the reactor — a combination of uranium and plutonium — could be released.
One sign that a breach may have occurred in the reactor vessel, Mr. Nishiyama said, took place on Thursday when three workers who were trying to connect an electrical cable to a pump in a turbine building next to the reactor were injured when they stepped into water that was found to be significantly more radioactive than normal in a reactor.
Radiation Dose Chart
Randall Munroe of the blog xkcd took the aftermath of the Japanese earthquake tragedy (with its resultant fears of nuclear contamination) as an opportunity to construct a chart putting into perspective the quantities of radiation received from various sources — allowing for comparisons between Fukushima, Chernobyl, living near a coal plant, taking a walk, getting an x-ray, flying on an airplane, and the largest and deadliest cases of exposure.

A Glowing Report On Radiation
While manufactured "arguments" continue to wage about topics such as climate change and evolution, Anne Coulter has stepped up the game, adding the benefits of radiation to the pot:
… Read the rest
As The New York Times science section reported in 2001, an increasing number of scientists believe that at some level — much higher than the minimums set by the U.S. government — radiation is good for you. "They theorize," the Times said, that "these doses protect against cancer by activating cells' natural defense mechanisms."
Among the studies mentioned by the Times was one in Canada finding that tuberculosis patients subjected to multiple chest X-rays had much lower rates of breast cancer than the general population.
And there are lots more!
A $10 million Department of Energy study from 1991 examined 10 years of epidemiological research by the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health on 700,000 shipyard workers, some of whom had been exposed to 10 times more radiation than the others from their work on the ships' nuclear reactors.
Fake 'Radiation' Text Messages And E-mails
Many citizens across Asia have been warned about faux messages being sent, such as this e-mail: "Japan Government confirms radiation leak at Fukushima nuclear plants. Asian countries should take necessary precautions. If rain comes, remain indoors first 24 hours. Close doors and windows. Swab neck skin with betadine where thyroid area is, radiation hits thyroid first. Take extra precautions. Radiation may hit Philippine at around 4 pm today. If it rains today or in the next few days in Hong Kong. Do not go under the rain. If you get caught out, use an umbrella or raincoat, even if it is only a drizzle. Radioactive particles, which may cause burns, alopecia or even cancer, may be in the rain." BBC reports:

Radioactive Plume Could Hit The U.S. By Friday
If the quake and tsunami were karma for Pearl Harbor, I guess this is karma for Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The New York Times reports:
… Read the rest
A United Nations forecast of the possible movement of the radioactive plume coming from crippled Japanese reactors shows it churning across the Pacific, and touching the Aleutian Islands on Thursday before hitting Southern California late Friday.
Health and nuclear experts emphasize that radiation in the plume will be diluted as it travels and, at worst, would have extremely minor health consequences in the United States, even if hints of it are ultimately detectable. In a similar way, radiation from the Chernobyl disaster in 1986 spread around the globe and reached the West Coast of the United States in 10 days, its levels measurable but minuscule.
The projection, by the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Organization, an arm of the United Nations in Vienna, gives no information about actual radiation levels but only shows how a radioactive plume would probably move and disperse.
Anti-Radiation Pills Flying Off U.S. Drug Store Shelves
Via Fox News:
… Read the rest
One drug supplier says it has sold 250,000 anti-radiation pills to people in the U.S. concerned about possible exposure from Japanese nuclear reactors.
Troy Jones, president of Nukepills.com, said his company sold out over the weekend of potassium iodide pills, which prevent against radiation poisoning of the thyroid gland. Jones, in an interview with FoxNews.com, said that the pills were sold to dozens of U.S. pharmacies, corporations, hospitals and nuclear labs.
"You name it," he said. Jones said that he has back-ordered more than a million tablets and is expected to get another 10,000 of the liquid potassium iodine. He also said that he has donated about 50,000 pills to Japan, many of them going to a hospital in Tokyo.
Despite assurances from health officials that Americans are not at risk from Japanese nuclear reactors, U.S. drug stores are reporting a sudden increase in sales of the over-the-counter anti-radiation pills.
TSA Admits Radiation from Body Scanners Is 10 Times Higher Than They Initially Stated
David Kravets writes in WIRED's Threat Level:
… Read the rest
The Transportation Security Administration is re-analyzing the radiation levels of X-ray body scanners installed in airports nationwide, after testing produced dramatically higher-than-expected results.
The TSA, which has deployed at least 500 body scanners to at least 78 airports, said Tuesday the machines meet all safety standards and would remain in operation despite a "calculation error" in safety studies. The flawed results showed radiation levels 10 times higher than expected.
At least one flier group, the Association for Airline Passenger Rights, is urging the government to stop using the $180,000 machines that produce a virtual-nude image of the body until new tests are concluded in May.
"Airline passengers have enough concerns about flying — including numerous ones about how TSA conducts its haphazard security screenings — so it is TSA's responsibility to ensure passengers are not being exposed to unhealthy amounts of radiation," Brandon Macsata, executive director of the group, said in a statement.

This is my place. It's all me! I post things I've made and things I love and enjoy and that there's about it. If you love me then you will love me tumblr!
The fourth Dirty Harry movie. What I think is so interesting about this film, beyond the fact that I always enjoy watching it, is the fact that it still could have been so much better. It's greatest detraction is the quality of the acting in it. This is another piece that Clint Eastwood's wife at the time, Sondra Locke, managed to squeeze her untalented self into, as a woman who is going around killing a collection of men who raped her and her sister years before. This is also the film where Eastwood famously says, "Go ahead, make my day."

Re: Hey, Gang-#6573 3 years, 6 months agoHey Phil,
any chance Trey Anastasio will ever sit in with Furthur? That would be so incredible. Especially after seeing him play with Phil and Friends in Glens Falls, NY in 2007. I was at that show and thought it was one of the finest live performances I have ever seen. Thanks to Cotter Michaels for letting me and my dad watch sound-check. He was very generous to let us in on the "Trey" secret a little early.
I have been seeing you perform for all my life. My dad, Matthew Broad is a long time head. He started seeing the Dead in 1979 and took me to shows literally when I was 1. I got to see Jerry perform live probably 10 times, which is something many people my age (21 years old) unfortunately can not say.
Me and my dad are also very good friends with John Molo, who worked with my dad in the early 2000's, the days of the Lesh/Haynes/Molo/Barraco/Herring lineup. My dad used to co-own Everyone's Drumming.
I absolutely love what you are doing with Furthur, think its one of the best post-GD lineups ever, and hope it may continue for a long time.

Re: Hey, Gang-#6575 3 years, 6 months agoHa, nancyinthesky, my 1st thought in seeing that ceanothus is how the 'Dark Star' shrubs in my gardens are just popping deep dark purple all over this year especially. One of my favorites. It's interesting to mention the name to clients, wait to see if there is any recognition. It's SF, ya know, it happens.
The gardens are happy this year with the rains, now the sun. I bet the bulbs are popping a plenty.. Cerinthe 'Purpurascens' is my plant of the year, very impressive. Try it, you'll like it.
So, first the Giants win the World Series now this Terrapin Landing is happening? Life is good in the good ole SF Bay Area."if you don't like the news go out and make some of your own"

Re: Hey, Gang-#6577 3 years, 6 months ago"Cerinthe 'Purpurascens' is my plant of the year, very impressive. Try it, you'll like it."
It is an amazing and very impressive plant, beautiful colors, interesting form, BUT, it's a real garden thug. The seeds spread the plant all around without regard to any boundaries. If that's okay in your garden, great, if not, beware. It can also get lanky...FUCK CANCER!
Peace & Love

Re: Hey, Gang-#6587 3 years, 6 months agoYou haven't met my parents. They are in my opinion the coolest ever! Phil and Bob have a great friendship though! Hope to see them this summer!"Standing on the moon,
With nothing left to do.
A lovely view of heaven,
But I'd rather be with you - be with you!

Re: Hey, Gang-#6597 3 years, 6 months agoThank you for the once in a lifetime show in N.Y.C on Sunday night. It was the first show I've been to with my wife which made it extra extra special. Love the direction the band is going in every time I see you is better than the last. I know Bear,Jerry,Neil Cassidy and all of our other strange hero's that have passed were sitting somewhere really enjoying the music.

Re: Hey, Gang-#6610 3 years, 6 months agoJudit...garden thug? Please take it easy on my beloved cerinthe. I see her as generous, I've replanted 100's or sprouts to create a natural effect. If you mix Cerinthe, borage, CA poppy, a fewother perennials and natives in a large bed with space (a relative term, we have less in SF so you do have to be careful), the reseeding gives you a natural look that dazzles and really takes care of the bees and hummingbirds.
If you're ever are Pac Bell Park (I still call it that) early for a Giants game, follow MCCovey Cove up Mission Creek to Huffaker Park (where the houseboats are) which I take care of ..and you'll see these mixed together in their glory. I do avoid plants that send runners through the soil and choke other plants like ivy, mayten tree, etc, those are the true thugs IMO."if you don't like the news go out and make some of your own"
