Why They Impeached Andrew Johnson
One of the saddest tales in American history tells how a well-intentioned President lost a dazzling opportunity
December 1956 | Volume 8, Issue 1
At St. Louis, when a Radical voice shouted that Johnson was a "Judas," the President flamed up in rage. "There was a Judas and he was one of the twelve apostles," he retorted. "… The twelve apostles had a Christ. … If I have played the Judas, who has been my Christ that I have played the Judas with? Was it Thad Stevens? Was it Wendell Phillips? Was it Charles Sumner?" Over mingled hisses and applause, he shouted, "These are the men that stop and compare themselves with the Saviour; and everybody that differs with them … is to be denounced as a Judas."
Johnson had played into his enemies' hands. His Radical foes denounced him as a "trickster," a "culprit," a man "touched with insanity, corrupted with lust, stimulated with drink." More serious in consequence was the reaction of northern moderates, such as James Russell Lowell, who wrote, "What an anti-Johnson lecturer we have in Johnson! Sumner has been right about the cuss from the first…." The fall elections were an overwhelming repudiation of the President and his Reconstruction policy.
Johnson's want of political sagacity strengthened the very elements in the Republican party which he most feared. In 1865 the Republicans had no clearly defined attitude toward Reconstruction. Moderates like Gideon Welles and Orville Browning wanted to see the southern states restored with a minimum of restrictions; Radicals like Sumner and Stevens demanded that the entire southern social system be revolutionized. Some Republicans were passionately concerned with the plight of the freedmen; others were more interested in maintaining the high tariff and land grant legislation enacted during the war. Many thought mostly of keeping themselves in office, and many genuinely believed, with Sumner, that "the Republican party, in its objects, is identical with country and with mankind." These diverse elements came slowly to adopt the idea of harsh Reconstruction, but Johnson's stubborn persistency in his policy left them no alternative. Every step the President took seemed to provide "a new encouragement to (1) the rebels at the South, (2) the Democrats at the North and (3) the discontented elements everywhere." Not many Republicans would agree with Sumner that Johnson's program was "a defiance to God and Truth," but there was genuine concern that the victory won by the war was being frittered away.
The provisional governments established by the President in the South seemed to be dubiously loyal. They were reluctant to rescind their secession ordinances and to repudiate the Confederate debt, and they chose high-ranking ex-Confederates to represent them in Congress. Northerners were even more alarmed when these southern governments began to legislate upon the Negro's civil rights. Some laws were necessary—in order to give former slaves the right to marry, to hold property, to sue and be sued, and the like—but the Johnson legislatures went far beyond these immediate needs. South Carolina, for example, enacted that no Negro could pursue the trade "of an artisan, mechanic, or shopkeeper, or any other trade or employment besides that of husbandry" without a special license. Alabama provided that "any stubborn or refractory servants" or "servants who loiter away their time" should be fined $50 and, if they could not pay, be hired out for six months' labor. Mississippi ordered that every Negro under eighteen years of age who was an orphan or not supported by his parents must be apprenticed to some white person, preferably the former owner of the slave. Such southern laws indicated a determination to keep the Negro in a state of peonage.
It was impossible to expect a newly emancipated race to be content with such a limping freedom. The thousands of Negroes who had served in the Union armies and had helped conquer their former Confederate masters were not willing to abandon their newfound liberty. In rural areas southern whites kept these Negroes under control through the Ku Klux Klan. But in southern cities white hegemony was less secure, and racial friction erupted in mob violence. In May, 1866, a quarrel between a Memphis Negro and a white teamster led to a riot in which the city police and the poor whites raided the Negro quarters and burned and killed promiscuously. Far more serious was the disturbance in New Orleans two months later. The Republican party in Louisiana was split into pro-Johnson conservatives and Negro suffrage advocates. The latter group determined to hold a constitutional convention, of dubious legality, in New Orleans, in order to secure the ballot for the freedmen and the offices for themselves. Through imbecility in the War Department, the Federal troops occupying the city were left without orders, and the mayor of New Orleans, strongly opposed to Negro equality, had the responsibility for preserving order. There were acts of provocation on both sides, and finally, on July 30, a procession of Negroes marching toward the convention hall was attacked.
"A shot was fired … by a policeman, or some colored man in the procession," General Philip Sheridan reported. "This led to other shots, and a rush after the procession. On arrival at the front of the Institute [where the convention met], there was some throwing of brick-bats by both sides. The police … were vigorously marched to the scene of disorder. The procession entered the Institute with the flag, about six or eight remaining outside. A row occurred between a policeman and one of these colored men, and a shot was again fired by one of the parties, which led to an indiscriminate firing on the building, through the windows, by the policemen.

The 28-year-old, who reached the pinnacle of his career when England became world champions in 2003, admits he came close to quitting the sport following an alarming slump in form after lifting the William Webb Ellis Trophy.
The Northampton captain has not played for his country since last year's RBS 6 Nations but is back in the fold under new head coach Brian Ashton for this year's tournament.
It is a remarkable turnaround for a player who considered hanging up his boots less than five months ago.
"It wasn't dramatic and it wasn't sudden - but as each week passed, I played worse," he said.
'My energy levels dropped and so, too, did my enthusiasm for the game. It got to the state where I was so fed-up I thought of quitting.'
Instead of throwing in the towel, Thompson resorted to drastic measures to rediscover his motivation which has slowly but surely returned this season.
'Before (former head coach) Andy Robinson was able to tell me he was resting me for last summer's tour to Australia, I had made up my mind to pull out,' he said.
'I'd fallen out of love with the game. I went to Thailand and endured a 10-day 'detox' that saw me lose seven kilos and go through colonic irrigation each day.
'Even when I came back to pre-season training my heart wasn't fully in it. But from around October I started to rediscover my old form.
'A four-week calf injury prevented any chance of a recall for the autumn internationals, but I've been playing well since and I'm delighted to be back in the fold.
'I'm on 47 caps and I want to reach my half-century, help England have a successful Six Nations and go on with confidence to the World Cup.
'I think not being part of England has helped me and others such as Mike Tindall and Jason Robinson, who have also been recalled.
"We've all realised how much we've missed playing for England, and the hunger's returned.
"I'm also excited that Phil Vickery is captain and I'm convinced he will prove an inspirational leader.'

text: A drug that can make your old memories like newAnnalee Newitz3/04/11 11:00amFiled to: mad scienceBrainsChemistrybiologyNeuroscienceSciencePkmzetaTop1091EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink There are drugs that help you remember what you learn, and ones that erase your memory. But until now, there have no substances with the power to enhance and strengthen old memories hovering on the brink of being forgotten. Now a group of neuroscientsts say they've isolated a single enzyme in the brain that can help long-term memories remain crisp in your mind. Advertisement Image by Sebastian Kaulitzki/ShutterstockReut Shema and her colleagues knew that the enzyme PKMzeta helped maintain the long-term storage of memories in the brain. But recently they discovered that boosting levels of PKMzeta helped rats recall, in great detail, events they'd experienced many days beforehand. Lowering levels of the enzyme caused the rats to forget old memories more quickly. What's remarkable about this discovery is that the enzyme can help the animals recall these old memories even if they weren't boosting their levels of PKMzeta at the time the memories were formed. Advertisement A release about the study, published today in Science, explains:Shema and colleagues now show that overexpressing the enzyme in the insular cortex region of the rat brain can strengthen more than one memory at a time and improve memories that were established months before the enzyme experiment.If the same treatment works for humans, we could be looking at a way to deal with age-related memory loss. And a way to help us recall information we once knew intimately, but which has grown cloudy as the years have passed.You can read the authors' full account of their experiments and how the enzyme works, in Science.Reply109 repliesLeave a reply

Search for centuries-old galleon off Oregon coast begins anew near Manzanita

For as long as the tale's circulated, Native Americans, settlers and even modern-day beachcombers have found the beeswax and porcelain to prove it.Now, a volunteer group of students, archaeologists and historians calling themselves the Beeswax Wreck Research Project is hoping to get one step closer to finding the ship when they set out to sea later this month with equipment that may zero in on the galleon's location....

Sunken WWI U-Boats a bonanza for historians
British archaeologists recently discovered more than 40 German U-boats sunk during World War I off the coast of England. Now they are in a race against time to learn the secrets hidden in their watery graves.On the old game show "What's My Line?" Briton Mark Dunkley might have been described with the following words: "He does what many adventurers around the world can only dream of doing."Dunkley is an underwater archeologist who dives for lost treasures. His most recent discoveries were anything if not eerie.On the seafloor along the southern and eastern coasts of the UK, Dunkley and three other divers have found one of the largest graveyards in the world's oceans, with 41 German and three English submarines from World War I. Most of the submarines sank with their crews still on board, causing many sailors to die in horrific ways, either by drowning or suffocating in the cramped and airtight submarines....

Michigan abuzz over shipwreck search
FAIRPORT, MICH. — Commercial fisherman Larry Barbeau's comings and goings usually don't create much of a stir in this wind-swept Lake Michigan outpost, but in the past few days, his phone jangles the minute he arrives home.Barbeau's 46-foot boat is the offshore nerve center for an expedition seeking the underwater grave of the Griffin, the first ship of European design to traverse the upper Great Lakes. Built on orders of legendary French explorer Rene Robert Cavelier de la Salle, it ventured from Niagara Falls to Lake Michigan's Green Bay but disappeared during its return in 1679.Divers this weekend opened a pit at the base of a wooden beam that juts nearly 11 feet from the lake bottom, believing it could be a section of the vessel, the rest presumably entombed in mud. They picked up the pace Monday with more powerful equipment after a weekend of probing showed that whatever is buried is deeper than sonar readings indicated....

Shifting sands yield mystery shipwreck in GA that dates to 1800s
SAVANNAH, Ga. — The odd skeleton of wooden beams barely poked above the sands, exposed just enough by wind and tides for a beachcomber to report the curious find.Fred Boyles, National Park Service superintendent on Georgia's Cumberland Island, says the buried beams could have easily been overlooked as ordinary flotsam washed ashore on the beach. But archaeologists called to the remote Atlantic coastal island spent days last week unearthing an astonishing find: an old wooden shipwreck held together with wooden pegs, its backstory lost in time."Someone had the foresight to say that doesn't just look like normal wood, and thank goodness they called us," Boyles said of the island resident, who stumbled on the wreck around Christmas. "Frankly, had I been driving on the beach, I would've ridden right by."This 80-foot-long fragment of history, with some of its wooden siding still intact, is believed to date to the mid-1800s based on its construction, said Michael Steiber, a National Park Service archaeologist trying to crack the mystery of the ship's origin....

Chivalry Isn't Dead
David Patten
It's official; newspapers, TV, radio, and online news reports all announced it; male chivalry is nothing but a myth. Two Swedish economists, Mikael Elinder and Oscar Erixson, exposed the reality of male selfishness in their study, "Every Man for Himself, Gender, Norms, and Survival in Maritime Disasters", published by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America. The authors claimed to have studied three centuries of shipwrecks, culling statistical data and quantitative research in the process. Their conclusions: men, utilizing their generally superior strength, selfishly disregard the plight of the women and children in order to save themselves. They point to the statistical survival rates of women and children in the shipwrecks included in their work. The results are very discouraging for women and children and completely destroy the concept of the chivalrous male. Rather than "women and children first," the prevailing sentiment in such disasters is truly, "every man for himself," with the emphasis on men.

Mars, the maker of Skittles candy, earlier this month scrapped its home page on the Web and put in its place a collage of content from social networking sites. The hodgepodge included a live Twitter feed, chatter and video from Flickr and YouTube. Need know what flavors and colors Skittles offers? The Wikipedia report is there. Need to know about Skittles' fans? Its Facebook page is on display.
All fairly harmless–except the tweets from Twitter. By day two, some of the comments were scalding. Among the most alarming: "F!*K Skittles." It certainly wasn't the reaction Mars expected. Still, the Twitter feed surprisingly hasn't been removed from the site. It's still accessible from the home page (under the "chatter" link), though it features far fewer comments at the moment.
Does this mean companies who experiment with Twitter or want to incorporate user-generated content on their Web site are doomed? No, it means they should use a social media aggregator, such as FriendFeed or Plaxo, that pulls together everything people are posting about a subject or a brand on social networking sites, blogs and photo-sharing systems. That is helpful, and this even more so: Companies that use some of these services, such as FriendFeed, can view comments and moderate them before they are posted.
In Pepsi's virtual gathering of comments, which the company calls "the Pepsi Cooler," one post said, "Pepsi is trying to reach the "younger" generation?!? How about us old post-boomers who are also on social media?" With the response feature, Bonin Bough, PepsiCo's director of social networking, wrote back: "Many of us here are in our '30s, which means we have lots of people in our social circles, some older and some younger, who love Pepsi. So we plan to be inclusive, no worries."
There is also another feature to FriendFeed and other services like it: the ability to moderate comments. FriendFeed actually never even had the feature until Pepsi went to the Mountain View, Calif.-based company with the request. Instead of making it available only to Pepsi, FriendFeed added the option for all companies.
While some might see the moderation tactic as a limitation to free speech, Pepsi says it's just making their site G-rated enough for a 9 year old, something Skittles' site is not. "We welcome all the negative comments," said Bough. "But we want a dialogue and not just words thrown out in poor taste."
The difference between Skittles' experience and Pepsi's was dialogue, says Benjamin Weisman, digital director at ad agency Iris Nation in New York. While Mars attempted to connect with consumers, they merely pulled together a stream of posts containing the word "Skittles" in them. "They missed the opportunity to engage more than a one-time comment," Weisman says.

The Republican nominating contest to succeed Sen. Saxby Chambliss has narrowed into a virtual three-way tie, according to a new InsiderAdvantage survey.
The poll, released Thursday, found Reps. Jack Kingston, Phil Gingrey and former Secretary of State Karen Handel bottlenecked in the mid-teens, the three registering within the margin of error.
Kingston maintained a slight edge, pulling the support of 17 percent, while Gingrey and Handel followed closely behind at 15 and 13 points respectively.
Outspoken conservative Rep. Paul Broun narrowly crested double digits, at 11 percent, and businessman David Perdue, who is not yet an official candidate, pulled only single-digit support.
The poll additionally measured partisan sentiment toward Gov. Nathan Deal, who netted a primary challenge earlier this week from Dalton Mayor David Pennington. Only 8 percent said they would vote for Pennington over Deal in a primary bout for the governor's mansion.
The survey was conducted July 10 and included a sample of 338 registered voters. The margin of error is 5.3 percent.

Of all players drafted and signed by the Reds in the last 25 years, only one has made it to the Major Leagues despite being selected after the 35th round. Other than catcher Ryan Hanigan, who was completely bypassed in the draft, Coffey was the biggest longshot who actually made it. He was a 41st round pick by the Reds in 1998. Today, the draft no longer continues for 41 rounds. It ends at round 40. Believe it or not, 1,219 players were taken before Coffey's name was finally called in 1998. Six players from the first round that year never reached the big leagues, but Coffey became the latest-drafted Reds prospect to reach the Majors since catcher Glenn Sutko, a 45th round pick in 1987, who eventually logged 11 at-bats for the Reds. Coffey not only reached the Major Leagues, but he is still there and has now appeared in 461 games over eight big league seasons.
When the Reds drafted Coffey out of a North Carolina high school in the 41st round in 1998, their plan was not to actually sign him, but to continue to monitor his progress in junior college under a practice called the "draft and follow" that allowed teams to hold onto a drafted player's rights for 11 months before making a decision on whether to sign him. The "draft and follow" is no longer in existence, but in 1998, it was commonplace.
There was one requirement, however, to hold a player's rights. The big league club had to make at least a minimal offer. According to ESPN.com, the Reds offered Coffey a small $1,000 signing bonus, fully expecting that he would reject that offer and go to junior college. Coffey accepted the offer.
"The way I saw it, I had two choices," Coffey explained to Tony Jackson of ESPN.com. "I could go to college and spend three years learning to play the college way, then get drafted and spend several more years relearning how to pitch in the majors before I got there. Or, I could go to the minor leagues and learn the major league way right away. For me, it was a no-brainer.''
The first four years of Coffey's professional career showed little progress. He missed the entire 2000 season after undergoing elbow surgery. By 2002, he had made his way to Dayton in his fifth year of professional baseball. The results were good. He made 53 appearances for Donnie Scott's Dragons, a team led by slugging third baseman Edwin Encarnacion and outfielder Noochie Varner. Coffey went 6-4 with a respectable 3.59 earned run average at the age of 21. The next season, 2003, Coffey again returned to the Dragons and continued to get better. In 39 relief appearances, he allowed just 14 earned runs, posting a 2.25 ERA with nine saves. That earned him a promotion on to the Carolina League to finish out the year, and in 2004, he was in Double-A with Chattanooga. He picked up 24 saves that season and finished the year in Triple-A. He had already far surpassed the typical production of a 41st round draft pick.
Coffey started 2005 in Triple-A, but before the season was three weeks old, he was in Cincinnati. He made his Major League debut against the Cubs on April 19 at Great American Ballpark.
As a rookie, Coffey pitched in 57 games, improving as the season went along, and finishing with a decent ERA of 4.50. In 2006, he was a key part in Jerry Narron's bullpen, pitching in a team-leading 81 games, sixth most in the National League. His ERA improved to 3.58. At times, he was the Reds closer, finishing with eight saves.
Coffey battled inconsistency for the Reds in 2007 and again in 2008 before being claimed off waivers by the Milwaukee Brewers. He bounced back in a big way with the Brewers in 2009, posting a career-best ERA of 2.90 in 78 relief appearances, the most on the Milwaukee club. Over the next two years, Coffey pitched in 138 games, again with the Brewers in 2010 and then with the Washington Nationals in 2011. In 2012, he joined the Dodgers and after a slow start, was rolling in early July. After going the entire month of June without allowing a single run, Coffey took the mound against his former teammates, the Reds, on July 2nd. On a pitch to former Dragon Todd Frazier, Coffey injured his elbow, ending his season, and underwent the second "Tommy John" surgery of his professional career. He should be back in action sometime in 2013, still young enough at the age of 32 to enjoy many more seasons as a Major League reliever.
Coffey is well-known for his full-speed sprints from the bullpen to the mound. During his years with the Brewers, the scoreboard at Miller Park recorded Coffey's time for every sprint. The recorded number, known as "Coffey Time," captured the attention of the fans.
While many former Dragons players often speak in glowing terms of their time in Dayton, Coffey has been the most outspoken in his praise. He held nothing back as he spoke to Tom Archdeacon of the Dayton Daily News.
"In the minor leagues, Dayton's special," said Coffey. "The people sell this place out every night and cheer you, win or lose."
Archdeacon wrote about Coffey when the Reds played at Fifth Third Field in an exhibition game in 2007, and Coffey entered the game as a member of the Reds.
"I got out there and saw the green backstop and the Dragons fans beyond it and I knew my wife was sitting in the middle of them just like she used to...only this time with our two girls," he told Archdeacon. "I completely forgot I was wearing a Reds jersey. It felt like old times. I'm comfortable here."
Of all the Dragons pitchers to reach the Major Leagues, Todd Coffey has appeared in the most big league games. Once referred to as the "Mayor of Dayton" by then manager Jerry Narron, he was the 11tth Dragons player to reach the Majors. Next up: William Bergolla.

On the top step, again.
We all know that weight means everything in cycling. From the lightest, thinnest carbon wheels, to air-mesh jerseys, manufacturers constantly strive to design lighter, stronger accessories. And while, year after year, many succeed in one-upping the competition, Mavic remains on the top step of the podium when it comes to cycling shoes. The Mavic Huez retains the title of the lightest production road shoe year after year. They barely tip the scales at 195grams per shoe, or less than 390grams per pair.
The Huez boasts the same last, Ergo Lite upper, Ergo Lite toe cap, Energy Straps, and Energy Lock carbon heel of the Zxellium, but it goes in a few separate directions to lose a bunch of weight. One is the thinner mesh. But more important is the thinner Energy Full Carbon SL outsole. It may look the same from afar, but the sole is 1.5mm thinner, saving weight while keeping stiffness constant. The thinner sole makes pedaling more efficient, and it has titanium cleat inserts and smaller toe and heel pads on the outside for even more weight savings.
The bigger difference in terms of feel between the Zxellium and the Huez is how the foot is held into place. While the carbon heel is still present, the Energy Lock frame has been sacrificed in the name of lightness. So too has the Ergo Lite ratchet, in favor of a third Velcro strap per foot. The result are shoes that might not be quite as rock solid on the upstroke, but are lighter all around.
Inside you'll find the Ergo Fit SL insole. Yes, lighter than the 3D version. It has three densities of padding, along with a nice heel cup and metatarsal pad. The insole is covered in an anti-bacterial material that resists stink. The tongue has been lightened and is known as the Clima Vent Tongue SL. It has less padding, just the minimum necessary, and more mesh. Actually, the padding in the heel, tongue, and insole are called Auto Fit because they'll mold to your foot without the need for heating and posting.
The Mavic Huez Shoes are available in Mavic yellow/black and Black.white and come in half and whole sizes from 5.0 to 12.5 mens. They come with 'recommended length' screws for the threaded inserts in the outsole; so thin is the sole, they've provided shorter screws. A mesh carrying bag is also included.

I am trying to get a page to update a selection of php mysql results via ajax.I can get this to work with only 1 dropdown list but I have a maximum of 14 inputs the user can choose from to filter the results. I am using the following script on the page to call the .php page which runs the updated query on the table and returns the filtered results.
The javascript I have on the page which is called using onchange on one of the dropdowns is:
<script type="text/javascript"> function showCars(str) { if (str=="") { document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML=""; return; } if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest(); } else {// code for IE6, IE5 xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); } xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function() { if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200) { document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText; } } xmlhttp.open("GET","getcars.php?q="+str,true); xmlhttp.send(); } </script>
I need to get a selection of form inputs to generate a url similar in style to the one shown below:
Can anyone show me how I can achieve this please? I think if I can bget this bit to work I will be able to sort out the other issues I have with the site I'm working on.
Any help would be extremely appreciated, thanks in advance!
Is anyone able to show me how to construct the url in the way I need to by changing the code I've posted? Have I not given enough information? I'm realy struggling with this, please help.
Which method are you using to set up the onchange event of the select box? If you are using the traditional model where scripting assigns a function to the onchange property of the element, that will be easier to help with.
If instead you are using inline event attributes, that will serve to hinder any progress that may be made.

The Weekly Gardening Thread is a weekly gathering of folks that love soil, seeds and plants of all kinds. From complete newbies that are looking to start that first potted plant, to gardeners with some acreage, to Master Gardener level and beyond, we would love to hear from you.
This thread is non-political, although you will find that most here are conservative folks. No matter what, you wont be flamed and the only dumb question is the one that isnt asked.
It is impossible to hijack the Weekly Gardening Thread ... there is no telling where it will go and that is part of the fun and interest. Jump in and join us!
There's not a lot of gardening to do right now other than planning and taking advantage of some sales. However, some of the warmer regions are no doubt beginning to start seeds indoors.
Black Agnes has sent me a link about technology, I thought I would share it with you in case you missed it:
What's going on where you live? Have a great weekend. God Bless.
Pinging the garden list.
I swear I only posted once!
Working hard on getting my aquaponics system set up in time for spring which is very soon here in SC. Some of my started plants are already begging to be outside. Hoping this cold snap is the last for the season.
Started snowing about an hour ago here .... we should get 1-2 inches so it won't cause any havoc beyond tonight when the idiots who don't know how to drive in a little snow try to get home from work. The ground is frozen (what? I don't think it froze once last year!) so it's all sticking. The most "happening" place around ... the birdfeeders! Put out suet cakes today with the usual black oil sunflower seeds so the birds are really happy!
I've gotten beyond being a 'snow lover' .... a barn full of horses to care for some years back cured me of that! I'll take a mild winter any time .... this one started mild, but has been getting colder. Evidently, the first week in Feb. we have a good chance of a couple of snow storms. Before then, the middle of next week should see temps in the 60's .... aaahhhh .... my kind of winter weaher! Right now, all I can do is look longingly at the frozen, snow covered spot where we'll be putting in a new garden this spring!
I replaced my tiller this week. Found one that was refurbished, with a warranty, and saved about $200 on it (along with my veteran's discount).
Only problem was the tines were installed backwards when I got it, and it took me a full day to figure that out. It beat me half to death before I figured that out.
Slowly, I'm getting my winter tilling chores done, when the days are good.
Nothing moving. Frozen Tundra, LOL!
I am getting my Garden Center all set up for Spring seed starting, though. The first weekend in February are when things start to rock around here for that.
At home I am enjoying forced Paperwhites, and my three Amaryllis are in glorious bloom! My Christmas Cactus are done for the season and resting, after putting on a gorgeous display.
Starting some salad greens and micro-greens indoors under lights and I always have sprouts going. Green Goodness in a dark Wisconsin Winter.
The month of February is always the l-o-n-g-e-s-t one for me, despite the chocolate and jewelry gift aspect of it mid-month, LOL!
It's 73 right now. Highs for the next week are supposed to be in the mid 70's as well. It isn't time to move stuff outside yet BUT it means all the blueberries and other stuff will be budding out. Hopefully we won't get a hard freeze after they bloom. Who knows. This is the reason pretty much nobody in our general area got blueberries last year. We covered ours with plastic tarp for the 2 coldest nights and were the only game in town wrt blueberries.
I am going to try to root some cuttings once they do come out though. And start things that need to be started in cooler weather in flats on my porch. IF it gets brutally cold I can just bring them in for the night. I've got a bunch of echinacea, lavender and strawberry seeds to get going.
Sadly, all the warm right now means the bug population probably will NOT get appropriately zapped this year. For the second year running. *sigh*.
I am ready for all the cold snaps to be over too. Trouble is, we still have more than a month of winter left, and we have actually had snow in March and April once in a while.
I used to commute 150 miles round trip to work. I don't miss dodging the idiots. LOL.
I am still dreaming about adding a garden room to the house on the backyard patio, so that I can just walk directly into it from the house, and grow all my favorite herbs and flavorings.
I'd especially like to have at least 2 more lemon trees. I love fresh lemon juice on so many things.
We don't have a tiller, so we just kinda make do with what we have. My raised beds don't really need it anyway, and Hubby is converting some of his garden patches to raised beds too.
In Oregon spring comes early then shuts down and then finally summer will come late as well like end of June.
If you are lucky you can get the garden going before the 2nd batch of rain soaks the ground making gardening/tilling impossible.
If you miss it, then the garden gets a very late start, but the good news is summer usually runs long into September and October.
This year I'm going to start early inside, I still want a green house someday. Maybe this year I can budget some $$ for it.
I also discovered Hops this past year, grew several varieties and they are very easy to grow here. They were growing several inches per day last year and our last batch of beer was very good using them.
This year my plans are some giant pumpkins, any advice?
I've planted some carrots, winged peas, some bulbs and flower seeds along one side of the garden shed. I'm getting ready to start some beets and radishes, all of these are and will be in pots. The I'll begin on a pile of debri I started some years ago. I'll pile a bunch of soil intil I have a neat garden area and fill it full of all sorts of perrinels. Lots of poppies, day lillies, and any other reseeding flowers. I still have some money seeds from Carolina Mom and I'll spread those around too, as If i needed to...I've found they spread themselves, in the veggie garden, the lawn, you name it. On one side of the garden shed I'm planting some TX A&M maroon bonnets. Oh, I found a black, or nearly black iris and will plant a couple plus other flowers, because the "maroon bonnets" won't last but a few weeks. Oh, I forgot, I'm going to plant some onions in the front raised garden, as soon as I remove all the oak "seeds" acorns. They are every where this year.
Maybe you could post some pictures of the blooms? We also just kinda kill time around here during January and February.
Mid April is technically the time to do our seedlings for the tomatoes etc, but I usually do plant some things earlier to get a head start, and then just grow them in the pots and bring them in and out during the warm days before our last frost date.
I will add you to the ping list. I don't have much luck with squash, pumpkins, or watermelons.
I hope that one of our other gardeners will be able to help you out.
Of course, single guys can do that. ;)
No flowers here, except for Russian Sunflowers, and the old flowers that were here 50 years ago, and come back every year. If I can't eat it, I don't plant it. Except for tobacco. ;)
Hi johnny. Good to see you. We're pretty busy with our community garden. We've had it plowed, found some interesting stuff during the planting. On old, rusted, bent horseshoe, some plate shards, thick glass from soemthing, other stuff used with horses. We disked a small area and one of the fellows planted 3 rows each of mustard greens and collards. We've put 4 raised gardens in the mid-back for the youngsters, then we'll design the rest. I want both, raised gardens and in ground gardens, even acouple for wheel chair participants.
We also get large swings in temperature. Just recently we had 50 and 60 degree weather bookended by below freezing temperatures.
I think that the bugs here have been roundly zapped this winter.LOL.
We cover our blueberries and strawberries etc. too. However, the larger fruit trees often have a problem and get zapped during a spring cold front. Years ago we had a big peach tree, and we would only get a good batch once every 4 years or so.
I am not sure whether the dwarf trees we planted are supposed to start fruiting this year or next. I'll have to check with Hubby-they are his babies.
I grow my indoor plants on the southwest side of my office which is in the basement. They are in front of the sliding glass doors that leads to one of our patios.
I would like to build the greenhouse so that it is attached to the house, and I can just leave the door open and walk in and out during the day.
We also have windows facing southwest upstairs in the kitchen and the utility rooms. These I would like to replace with greenhouse windows and fill them with herbs, green onions, chives, etc.
Married people can be flexible too. Now that the kids have moved out we have lots of room to be flexible.LOL.
We're thinking of putting dwarf fruit trees in the front yard as part of a edible landscaping strategy. Dwarf because they won't get massive and becuase they'll be easier to cover in the event of an unseasonable frost. Right now I'm leaning to the disease resistant dwarf apple trees from Jungs. Possibly some dwarf low chill hour cherries from Bay Laurel as well. We'll have to see how our financial situation works itself out next month. Definitely in the list are a couple semi dwarf 'Warren' pear trees. Those are supposedly one of the best dessert pears and also one of the most disease resistant varieties too.
I'll have to investigate my strawberry bed after the past 2 days of upper 60's/low 70's. It's time to grub it out and move the runners into more appropriate places.
Any particular varieties of herbs you're starting? I've got some 'plain' rosemary seeds to start but i've seen some of the 'foxtail' plants in various places online. Those look wonderful. Any experience with the gourmet varieties?
We've got a mole family that's been doing our tilling for us. I'm agnostic right now because they eat SVB grubs. We'll see how I feel if they get in my strawberry bed.
The south end of the kitchen is almost like a greenhouse, with all the windows facing every direction except north.
We were putting the nut trees in the front yard, but couldn't ever get any of them to grow. We have tried all sorts of flowers and shrubs over the years too. Nothing ever surivives.
I am thinking we should try some Paw Paws. They are native to Missouri, and I thought they might actually survive. I have never tasted the fruit, though. They say it tastes like a banana. I'd kinda like to try the fruit and make sure I like it first though.
That's good to know. They're kinda spendy too. Dependable is important.
I think pawpaws are the one i've heard smells like dead animals when it blooms. You might verify that because I can't remember for certain. There was one tree we considered planting in our back yard but nixed because of smell. No sense making enemies of the neighbors.
I GOTS to have those, and I prefer to have them grown in my own garden.
Some things, like peppercorns, and cinnamon, I obviously can't grow here, but the others, I put a lot of effort into having fresh on the property.
That matches my 'to do' list fairly accurately. Except for the lemon grass. I've seen seeds and plants for that. Any preference? Does it take For. Ever. to grow from seeds or is it just easier to buy the plant?
WoW, A flash from the past Diana! Good to see you posting on my favorite thread.
I regret that I did not design a bigger window in the kitchen when I was working on the house plans, but at least I did put 5 feet of window in the utility room.
We did make the patio footing such that we could add on a room or greenhouse to the back, so we are seriously considering it among other things such as a cistern or root cellar/storage shed etc.
Any suggestions on using lemon juice? I picked about 40 lemons this year to try dehydrating lemon zest (I don't think it's going to work out). Left a couple hundred on the tree. I've still got probably a gallon of juice frozen from last year.
I haven't figured out how to take close up pictures with my camera, but here's a shot of a lemon tree beginning to bloom to brighten up the thread.
My fall Amelia tomatoes continue to produce.
And some lettuce.
Yikes! I'll have to check that. I only want good smells. Well, I will accept the smell of manure in the spring.LOL
Good to see another north west gardener join the forum. I've been growing veggies on the shores of Humboldt Bay for almost 60 years and tried Dill's Atlantic Giant "Pumpkins" but we don't get enough heat units for them. I think the biggest one was around 80 pounds. Can't grow tomatoes here either without being a masochist of some sort.
I know all about FALSE SPRING and ours came in January this year. It is usually February...
Do either of you know anything about growing hibiscus for tea or bay leaf? I drink a hibiscus tea to help my blood pressure, and bay leaf is one of my favorites to use in soup.
Not much happening here. My job interview went really well, and the second interview went even better, but then the company's client backed out, which meant the job I was applying for no longer existed. So, I'm back to planning out my 3-season gardening campout.
The person with the corn variety I want still hasn't updated her list for this year, so I emailed her asking if she was going to offer it. There's an alternate variety, but I'd need to order before February to get the free shipping deal, so I'd like to know soon.
Still the highest bidder on the freeze dryer I found. The auction site was down for several days, so the auction got extended. Otherwise I'd have it by now. When i go to pick it up, I might see what their glass labware is going for, and get enough to distill my own water.
Got one project brewing. Years ago, my dad was in France as part of his job, and really loved this raspberry drink he tried. He said it was raspberry cognac, but when I looked it up nothing like that existed, so I think he meant cordial. So, mom and I got a fancy glass bottle and some ingredients, and I'm making it using my own home-grown raspberries that we had in the freezer. There were several recipes, the simplest one being just equal parts fruit, sugar, and vodka.
Wish we had a few degrees of your warm weather. Thanks for the pictures.
I bought a handful of about 18" stalks 12 days ago and put them in water. The ones in my aquarium, in front of the south window, have over a foot of new growth. Actually, make that the one in the aquarium, as the other one went in the ground an hour ago. Haven't tried seeds, but rooting stalks in water seems to work pretty well.
We have several of the cheddar cauliflower plants this year. They taste just like regular cauliflower, but a little sweeter. Store got them by mistake, but I'll take them any day.
That's good to know. There's an upscale grocery store not far from where hubby works. I'll have him look for some of the stalks along with some gourmet sweet potatoes. We're going to try growing our own sweet taters this year.
I got some hibiscus seeds from tmseeds.com this year but I have NO idea if they're the tea/edible sort. Maybe one of the forums at gardenweb would know?

Tesamorelin injection is used to decrease the amount of extra fat in the stomach area in adults with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) who have lipodystrophy (increased body fat in certain areas of the body). Tesamorelin injection is not used to help with weight loss. Tesamorelin injection is in a class of medications called human growth hormone-releasing factor (GRF) analogs. It works by increasing the production of a certain natural substance that can decrease the amount of body fat.
Tesamorelin injection comes as a powder to be mixed with the liquid provided with your medication and injected subcutaneously (under the skin). It is usually injected once a day. Use tesamorelin injection at around the same time every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Use tesamorelin injection exactly as directed. Do not use more or less of it or use it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
Before you use tesamorelin injection for the first time, read the manufacturer's information for the patient that comes with the medication. Your medication comes in 2 boxes: one box with tesamorelin injection vials and another with vials containing liquid to mix with the medication, needles, and syringes. Ask your pharmacist or doctor to show you how to mix and inject the medication. Be sure to ask your pharmacist or doctor if you have any questions about how to inject this medication.
You should inject tesamorelin into the skin of your stomach area below the navel (belly button). Do not inject tesamorelin into the navel or into any scarred, reddened, irritated, infected, or bruised areas of skin. Do not inject tesamorelin into any areas with hard bumps from previous injections. Choose a different area for each injection to help prevent bruising and irritation. Keep track of the areas where you inject tesamorelin, and do not give an injection into the same spot two times in a row.
After mixing tesamorelin injection, use the medication right away. Do not store tesamorelin injection after mixing. Throw away any used tesamorelin injection and any extra liquid used to mix the injection.
You should always look at tesamorelin injection solution (liquid) after mixing and before you inject it. The solution should be clear and colorless with no particles in it. Do not use tesamorelin injection solution if it is colored, cloudy, contains particles, or if the expiration date on the bottle has passed.
Never reuse syringes or needles, and never share needles with another person. Do not share syringes with another person even if the needle was changed. Sharing needles and syringes can cause the spread of certain diseases, such as HIV. If you accidently prick someone with a used needle, tell him to talk to his healthcare provider right away. Throw away any remaining tesamorelin injection, extra liquid used to mix the injection, and used needles and syringes in a puncture-resistant container made of hard plastic or metal that has a lid. Never throw used needles or syringes into the trash. Ask your doctor or pharmacist how to dispose of the puncture-resistant container and all other used materials.
Ask your pharmacist or doctor for a copy of the manufacturer's information for the patient.
This medication may be prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
Before using tesamorelin injection,
Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, continue your normal diet.
Inject the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not inject a double dose to make up for a missed one.
Tesamorelin injection may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:
Some side effects can be serious. If you experience any of these symptoms, call your doctor immediately:
Tesamorelin injection may cause other side effects. Call your doctor if you have any unusual problems while taking this medication.
If you experience a serious side effect, you or your doctor may send a report to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online ( Web Site) or by phone (1-800-332-1088).
Store the medication box containing the tesamorelin injection vials in the refrigerator. Do not freeze. Store the box containing the provided liquid, needles, and syringes at room temperature away from light, excess heat, and moisture (not in the bathroom). Keep each box tightly closed and out of reach of children. Throw away any medication that is outdated or no longer needed. Talk to your pharmacist about the proper disposal of your medication.
In case of overdose, call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. If the victim has collapsed or is not breathing, call local emergency services at 911.
Keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory. Your doctor will order certain lab tests before and during your treatment to check your body's response to tesamorelin injection.
Do not let anyone else use your medication. Ask your pharmacist any questions you have about refilling your prescription.
It is important for you to keep a written list of all of the prescription and nonprescription (over-the-counter) medicines you are taking, as well as any products such as vitamins, minerals, or other dietary supplements. You should bring this list with you each time you visit a doctor or if you are admitted to a hospital. It is also important information to carry with you in case of emergencies.

During the early 16th century of Latin colonial history, Spain and Portugal began to colonize the Western Hemisphere of what is today North & South America. In order to cultivate the land for agricultural production & commerce, the colonizers began to enslave the conquered the Ameri-Indians and use them for labor. However, this proved inefficient because the Ameri-Indians were not accustomed to being under the hot sun and enduring such harsh physical labor so colonizers began bringing slaves from Africa to improve agricultural business.
A large majority of Africans were shipped to Brazil, the Caribbean such as Puerto Rico and Cuba and near the coast of Central and South America. With these 3 ethnic groups now permanently established in the "New World" the people began to intermingle within the colonial society, creating groups and subgroups within a caste system, a system that describes each particular ethnic group according to their social status in society. Hispanics began to identify themselves according to their rich tradition, culture, history, and food, all originating from 3 distinct societies merging together.
The Three Major Groups in Hispanic Society
Iberian: Those originating from Spain & Portugal.
Ameri-Indian: Those originating from Native Americans such as the Tainos, Aztecs, and Mayans.
Africans: Those originating from Africa. Ethnic subgroups emerged from intermingling:
When marketing to a particular Hispanic ethnic group you must also study the geography in relation to which ethnic population resides according from the largest to the smallest number of groups within a local area. Hispanics tend to gather around major urban areas. This allow Hispanics to maintain their language and culture because they're in close proximity to other individuals that share ethnic characteristics.
Hispanics also group themselves according to their country of origin. For example, Mexicans live in the Southwest such as Texas, Cubans tend to reside in Florida and Puerto Ricans and Dominicans largely populate Puerto Rico.
I managed to find an example of a illustration of a typical caste system in early Spanish colonial times. The caste system in a way acts like a status report for the Spanish monarchy on how the colonies are doing.

"Laurel Canyon is hilarious and true and bittersweet. Michael Walker catches the mood in the air, and gets it right....The interviews are wonderful....It's a beautifully written document of that time and place when the personalities were as big as those stony dreams that fueled some of the greatest masterpieces in rock." (Cameron Crowe)
"Interesting book. Poor reader."
As a history of change during the cultural and counter-cultural heyday in Los Angeles, this book is a fascinating tale. Laurel Canyon becomes the stage on which events transpire as well as the abyss in which "the scene" evolves and devolves. Anyone interested in Los Angeles, rock and roll history, the sixties, drug culture, crime and mayhem, will indulge in this story. The only drawback -- and it is quite a major one -- is the reading, which is flat and lacks a sense of pacing. The fatal flaws are repeatedly misplaced pauses that break sentences into dissociated fragments. Nonetheless it is still a worthwhile and valuable "read."
The book was alright. I was expecting quite a bit more and hoped for a deeper insight into the goings on of the time. I did find the vocabulary that the writer used to very often be unnecessarily loquacious which repeatedly sent me scurrying off to my thesaurus.
"An interesting flashback to the 60s and 70s"
Now I can go through my old Joni Mitchel albums and line up the songs with the back ground happenings in Laurel Canyon. The author is not as talented a writer as the people he writes about. He uses the biggest words he can find in the dictionary to say the simplest things. It reminds me of the long winded papers I wrote in grad school. Aside from that, it is an interesting read for the baby boom generation.
Narrative makes the world go round.
"easy listening social history"
a very enjoyable listen, for this baby boomer at least. It goes beyond pop culture to capture some of the social history of the time.
"Fairly Good Book...Hard to Follow in Places"
I thought the stories in this book were really good. I would definitely recommend it. The biggest issue I had was that it was hard to follow at certain times. In large part this is due to the fact that this is a compilation of different stories about the canyon. Since this is an audio book, (obviously) if you lose track of who is talking at any point, you can't easily look back and see the name of the narrator. It can make it hard to follow in certain instances...especially if you get side tracked in the middle of a story.
100% of the books I read are in audible format. I enjoy reading apocalyptic, WWII, psychology, classics, contemporary and non-fiction.
"Journey Down Memory Lane"
Being 20 yrs. old in 1967, I was a part of it all, but on the San Francisco side. I made a few visits to LA during that time, but never got to know the real scoop, of course, and this filled the gaps -- it was a fun, easy read. This is a sixties time capsule nugget.
"Those were the best days of my life!"
I liked it all. What didn't I like? If applicable then I didn't like it came to an end.
"Intuitive and works, what more do I need?"
Like I said it's Intuitive and works, what more do I need? Oh and it's fun too :)

The financial product known as mortgage-backed securities has become a term synonymous with the 2008 financial crisis; Lehman Brothers, which collapsed five years ago this week, was the symbolic domino that caused one financial institution after another to begin wobbling until the entire banking industry, and the economy as a whole, was in crisis. In the financial industry and among regulators, the generally held assessment is that Lehman failed under the weight of risky real estate investments, characterized by a rise in subprime mortgage delinquencies and the resulting decline in value of securities backed by those mortgages. The lower credit quality ultimately caused massive defaults, which in turn caused a significant disruption in the flow of credit from financial institutions to businesses and consumers. When Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy on September 15, 2008, it was fourth-largest investment bank in the United States.
Federal regulators have spent years investigating and litigating the financial firms whose practices contributed to the financial meltdown. In fact, the Securities and Exchange Commission spent two years investigating Lehman Brothers, and while the probe hit one dead end after another and not a single civil charge was filed, the resulting report showed bank officials used accounting maneuvers known as "balance sheet manipulation" to mislead shareholders into believing that the firm was healthy until five days before it collapsed.
In a way, Lehman Brothers was a shining example of what went wrong with the American banking system: it made bad bets on mortgage-backed securities and when its finances became dicey, management attempted to hide the problem. But because it was allowed to fail, its history was much different than many other firms that invested heavily in mortgage-backed securities. Other firms were hastily incorporated into other institutions to avoid further disaster — a solution that could not be worked out for Lehman. During the crisis, the Federal Reserve and the Treasury fought to prevent the complete collapse of the American banking system; Bear Stearns was sold to JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM), and Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) bought Merrill Lynch, transactions that can be described as quasi-shotgun marriages aimed at saving those brokerages.

In 1939, a small company named Hewlett Packard (HP) was born in a garage in southern California. Founded by Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard, two electrical engineering graduates from Stanford University, the company was started with a mere $538 and the assistance of an old professor and mentor of the two engineers. In 1947, the company was incorporated, and in 1957 went public. Although the well-known "HP" logo had been in use since 1941, the company did not file for it as a trademark until 1954.
At first, the company produced a wide range of products, including crystal detectors, frequency converters and harmonic wave analyzers, but their first extremely lucrative venture was the HP200A precision audio oscillator, which sold well for over 33 years. In the 1960s, HP moved into what is now known as "Silicon Valley," and is widely credited as one of its founders, though their research into semi-conductors came later than most of their competitors. Despite accolades for the accuracy and reliability of their technology, which had a greater precision level than other devices on the market, Hewlett Packard shifted into the burgeoning computer market in 1966. In 1968, they produced what is considered to be the first mass-market personal computer ever made.
HP chose to distance itself from the term "computer," as it had come to be associated closely with IBM, and instead called their device a calculator, even though it performed many of the same functions. HP eventually surpassed IBM as the world's largest technology vendor, based on sales data. It was in 1984 that HP made the jump into the computer peripheral market and began producing both inkjet and laser printers, as well as HP printer ink and HP toner. In addition, HP began working on scanner technology, and was one of the first to create single-unit fax/scanner/printer combination.
HP has enjoyed stellar sales of its LaserJet line of printers for almost 30 years, and proprietary HP toner for the machines has sold well. Almost all HP printers depend on Canon and Xerox technology for their actual print mechanisms, but both of those companies depend on HP hardware and software to convert data into dots. Although HP printer ink is formulated specifically to work with its printers, other options do exist, such as remanufactured print cartridges. These are designed following original equipment manufacturer (OEM) guidelines, and are often a more cost-effective alternative to original print cartridges. Many come with a guarantee of compatibility with the type of printer they are designed to function best with. Although HP has shifted its focus over the years from precise measuring devices to computers and adjunct devices, there is no question they have influenced the course of computing history.
