Potatoes require a cool but frost free growing season.
Plant potatoes from late winter to late spring–as early as 4 to 6 weeks before the last average frost date in spring–depending upon the number of days the variety you are planting requires to mature to harvest.
So-called "early" potatoes will come to harvest in summer; "midseason" and "late" potatoes will mature and come to harvest in fall.
Description. The potato is a perennial vegetable grown as an annual. It is a weak-stemmed plant that produces swollen, underground tubers that are usually oval or round but sometimes finger-like or clustered. Potatoes can be brown, tan, yellow, red, and purple. Potatoes grow best where nights are cool. Potato varieties are often classified according to the number of days they require to come to harvest: "early" season (75-90 days), "midseason" (90-135 days), and "late-season" (135-160 days).
Which potato to plant: Potato Types and Varieties.
Potato Yield. Each plant will produce about 5 to 10 potatoes.
Site. Plant potatoes in full sun. Potatoes require a cool but frost-free growing season of 75 to 135 or more days. The ideal potato growing temperature is 45° to 80°F. Hot weather will reduce the number of tubers per plant. Potatoes prefer well-drained fertile soil high in organic matter with pH of 5.0 to 5.5. As the soil becomes more alkaline the size of the crop will grow but the incidence of scab–a condition that affects the skin of the potato but not the eating quality–also will increase.
Potato Planting Time. Plant "early" potatoes in spring 4 to 6 weeks before the last average frost date for a summer harvest or when the soil temperature has risen to 50°F. Where the soil temperature does not rise above 85°F during the summer plant "early" potatoes in late spring. Plant "midseason" harvest potatoes 4 to 6 weeks before the last frost in spring for fall harvest. Plant "late" harvest potatoes in spring for fall harvest. Allow 120 frost-free days from planting to harvest for "late-season" varieties. Potatoes are grown through the summer in cool northern regions; they are grown in fall, winter, and spring in warm-winter southern regions.
More tips: Potato Growing Tips.
How to Plant and Space Potatoes. Grow potatoes from whole potatoes or pieces of potatoes called "seed potatoes." A seed potato must have at least one eye to sprout. Plant certified disease-free seed potatoes. Supermarket potatoes have been chemically treated to prevent sprouting.
Plant potatoes in a hole or trench 4 inches deep and cover with 2 inches of soil. When sprouts emerge, add the remaining 2 inches of soil to the hole or trench. Sow seed potatoes 12 to 18 inches apart; space rows 24 to 36 inches apart. Potatoes also can be planted on top of the ground if covered with a 12-inch thick mulch of straw or hay.
Potatoes also can be grown in special potato growing barrels or stacked old tires. As the plant grows, layers of soil are added to cover the leaves and stems encouraging the plant to produce new tubers.
More tips: Potato Seed Starting Tips.
Water and Feeding Potatoes. Keep potatoes evenly moist but not wet; water before the soil dries out. Mulch to conserve soil moisture, prevent the soil from becoming too warm, and to keep the weeds down. Feed potatoes with a 5-10-10 fertilizer before planting and as a side dressing at midseason. Avoid giving potatoes too much nitrogen, that will encourage foliage growth over tuber growth.
Companion plants. Beans, cabbage, corn, eggplant. Avoid planting potatoes near cucumbers, pumpkins, squash, sunflowers, tomatoes, or raspberries.
Container Growing Potatoes. Potatoes can be grown in special potato barrels or using several car tires. Plant seed potatoes in the first level of a barrel or tire. When vines grow from 8 to 10 inches tall, place a second tire or level over the first and add enough soil to cover all but 2 or 3 inches of the vines. Continue this process until the end of the growing season. Then harvest potatoes from each layer.
Growing Potatoes in Trenches, Mulch or Containers.
Potato Care. Protect maturing tubers from sunburn and greening by mounding soil up around exposed tubers. Carefully cultivate around plants until they flower.
Potato Pests. Potatoes can be attacked by Colorado potato bugs, leafhoppers, flea beetles, and aphids.
Potato Diseases. Potatoes are susceptible to blight and scab. Scab can cause potatoes to have a rough skin but does not affect the eating quality of the potato. Plant disease-resistant varieties and keep the garden clean to help prevent disease. Remove and destroy diseased plants.
More on potato problems: Potato Growing Problems: Troubleshooting.
Potato Harvest. A potato plant will produce 3 to 6 regular-size potatoes and a number of small ones. Use a spading fork to dig up new potatoes when flowers fade; harvest mature potatoes after the leaves start to yellow. Lift potatoes gently to avoid bruising or damaging the skins.
Varieties. There are more than 100 varieties of potatoes. There are four basic potato categories: long whites, round whites, russets, and round reds. Check your cooperative extension service for specific recommendations for your area.
Storing and Preserving Potatoes. Store potatoes in a dark, well-ventilated place at about 40°F. Potatoes will keep for about 6 months. Do not refrigerate potatoes. Prepared or new potatoes freeze well and potatoes can also be dried.

Interest Rate Swaps-the latest
25th Feb 2013
I think it's worth bullet pointing our current experience of the cases that we are working on:
- We have issued a number of cases where clients have run out of primary limitation because they have been following the FSA advice that they don't need any help. We have issued and are confident that the Court will allow the cases to proceed. The banks are clearly not prejudiced but if we delayed any further I am sure that they would claim they were. I am rather annoyed that the FSA did not foresee that they could cause damage to businesses by effectively advising them to not to take immediate independent legal advice!
- It is very dangerous for clients to rely on the FSA advice and trust the banks to come to them. First of all the review only deals with certain types of products and one of the problems here is that clients don't know what product they have! Limitation is a very real danger for these clients.3. In relation to caps, a review will only be carried out if a complaint is made by (or on behalf of) a non-sophisticated customer during the review. Caps will not automatically be included within the FSA review. Some of our clients who clearly fit the criteria for the redress scheme are hearing nothing from their banks. Delay seems to be a deliberate tactic from the banks.
- The redress meetings and all that is said in both them and any fact finding that goes before are clearly NOT "without prejudice". Clients really need to be careful what they say to the banks. Their responses could be used against them at a later date.
- The way that banks are dealing with our requests for documentation that they should readily have at hand, further backs up my belief that they are determined to delay matters. I would be surprised if significant numbers of clients are compensated in the next few months.
- Being fully prepared is going to be the key whether for litigation or the redress process.
- I am concerned by the prospect of a Judicial Review concerning the redress criteria. I wholeheartedly agree that the rules of the game have been badly drafted but fear that a JR is exactly what the banks want-it will take time and delay matters further.
- I am heartened by talking to other solicitors firms, that there are a number of us willing to share information and can see that this is in clients best interests. As I keep saying, the banks lawyers will surely be comparing notes too.

Natural Hair in the Salon
How nerve-racking is the thought of giving someone else full responsibility of one of your most prized possessions?
As a natural, it can be scary when sitting in a salon chair giving someone else full control of your hair. One thing that can help is communication. After finding a natural hair stylist, communicate with them what you know about your hair to them. Tell them your daily regimen and what products you use to make it act right and then tell them what end result you are looking for. Most importantly, let them communicate that back to you. When both you and your stylist are on the same page it will take the edge off and allow you to trust them more.
Haircare professionals are trained to know the principles of hair. We know that all hair textures and types work a little differently. Whether you have super curly hair, straight hair, virgin hair, color treated hair, thick hair, or even thin hair the principle remains the same. All hair is made of the same components, with the proper techniques and products you will be able to achieve your desired look. One thing not all stylists have is experience with different textures. This causes them to be uncomfortable in certain circumstances.So it's important to have great communication with your stylist so you both can move forward together.
How to tell you've found a great natural hair stylist:
1. Products. The products they are using or recommending should contain enough moisture and conditioning agents to leave your hair feeling more hydrated than before. We know not all professional products cater to the special needs of natural hair, so your stylist should recommend the proper products.
2. A listening ear. Make sure your hair care professional is able to repeat back to you exactly what you want. This will show that they were actively listening and also assessing your hair. In the consultation stage of your service, your stylist should repeat back to you a few things they've noticed with your hair. Examples are previous color, breakage in certain areas, scalp conditions, or need for a protein or conditioning treatment.
3. Tools and techniques. When they are detangling your hair this is a good time to take a look at what they are using. Make sure, although it may be different from what you use, they are still maintaining the integrity of your hair. For example, if they are dry brushing, that they should be gentle and use a brush that helps to easily detangle with minimum breakage.
4. Advice. Most good natural hair stylists will always give you good advice that will help you along your natural hair journey.
So next time you schedule your salon appointment or are looking for a natural hair stylist, keep these things in mind.

As climate change continues on its seemingly unstoppable path, it has claimed America's food banks and pantries as its latest victims. The reason? The rising cost of peanut butter.
This year, high heat and drought conditions in Texas and the Southeast caused a 30 percent spike in the price of peanut butter. And that, in turn, has made it more difficult for food banks to meet the high demand for peanut butter. Kid-friendly, resistant to spoilage, and compatible with most religious restrictions, it has long had a reputation as the poor man's protein; during the Great Depression, it was successfully marketed as an affordable alternative to meat. It's no accident that, according to the USDA, peanut butter consumption in U.S. households has risen 10 percent since 2008.
So this latest chapter in peanut butter's history is as ironic as it is mean: The president and CEO of one Cleveland food bank told the Washington Post that if peanut butter becomes as costly as some kinds of meat, meat might actually prove to be the better deal. Adding insult to injury, higher prices have resulted in less peanut butter being made available through the USDA's commodities program, which buys surpluses of it and other foods and distributes them to nonprofits and schools.
This time of year, of course, is when we're asked to think of those less fortunate. Barring new jobs or a moratorium on home foreclosures, a jar of Skippy could prove to be the gift most likely to keep on giving.

"Air R E ?"
Air R E ? " This was toddler talk for "Where are we ?"
That phrase is echoing in my head this am (and when added to all the other voices in that cranium of mine it makes it hard to hear the phone ringing some days. And you people thought I did not answer the phone because I was so busy. )
"Where are we ?" Meaning what do I do today ? Before, I would cram it all into the week as I worked all weekend nights and slept all day Saturday and Sunday and needed Mondays to recover but now I have a different schedule. "Retired" but only as a nurse. I feel odd ( so what else is new?), disoriented (again, how is this different ? ) It is, I tell you. Its all different. I've always brought steady money into the house and if we had an extra need on the farm I just worked an extra shift at the hospital, it was that easy. But now I have to put my money where my mouth is . Like there is room in my gob with all the Captain Crunch thats been shoved in there lately. Anxiety munching is the technical term. Of course its Organic Captain Crunch ! I'm insulted you would even ask.
Back to the main topic. Confusion. Like a piglet in high grass, I am uncertain of my direction.
How much time do I spend writing ? farming ? houseworking ? with family ? at church ? marketing, packaging and peddling meat ? riding ? posting invoices ? invoicing post-its ? Finally after years of thinking about being home full time, I am. So why I am having such a hard time leaving my kitchen table this morning when there is so much to be done ?
Oh good. The grandson has arrived. My focus has returneth.

It's called ADJUSTMENT! :) Good luck to you, it's the right thing to do. That is my goal too "just" to work full time on the farm.ReplyDelete
Wow you just described how I felt when I left the Navy. I signed the final paper and the guy at the desk simply said:" that's it; you're done." I walked to my car with such uneasiness and realized no one gave a rat's ass where I was or what I was doing or how my uniform looks.ReplyDelete
Yours is on a grander scale! I knew I was going into the police academy...you have your whole life ahead of you. I am certain you will figure it out.

Again you have brought me to tears. I miss you already and also have a feeling of anxiety about what lies ahead. It is hard for me to imagine the absence of your advice, experience, and grand stories in those early morning hours. Work will never be the same. In your words...We had a good run...lots of laughs, an occasional tear, and unforgettable friendships. Love ya...JackieReplyDelete

An Adventure in Early Pregnancy
In keeping with my goal of being more honest and "real" on dis here blog, let me tell you a story. A story of the crazy roller coaster that has become my innards.
While I am just barely to the 2nd month mark, I'm pretty sure I should buy stock in Metamucil or some other "stool softener" that is acceptable to take while pregnant. I do not remember ever having this issue with my other two pregnancies.
Unfortunately, I must have eaten too much of that smörgåsbord of Thanksgiving. I woke up Sunday morning with a horrible tummy ache. No matter how many trips to the bathroom I made, they were all unsuccessful. So I did what any worried, frantic person would do. I overcompensated. I drank a ginormous glass of eggnog, ate two helpings of salad, and waited.
Finally, finally… success. Then I took a nap 'cause that's what pregnant chicks do when your husband has forced you to watch hours upon hours of football in one day. Don't get me wrong, I love me some football, but OMG… I can only take so much. I think this may have been my biggest mistake. While I was taking a much needed little snooze, all that lettuce and veggies mixed with that ginormous glass of eggnog was getting all brewed and stewed and fermented. Suddenly, the throne and I were best friends. Inseparable we were… for hours.
In the span of one day (really less than 24 hours) I went from one extreme to the next. Now I'm trying to remind myself to drink at least one glass of 100% juice everyday to avoid this "mishap" again. I want to know if any of my loyal readers have ever encountered this in their pregnancy (or pregnancies) and what kinds of tips or tricks worked best for you. I'm going to open a discussion in my Blog Frog community so after leaving your comments here, head on over to the community to put in your two cents!

Full 2015 fixture list: Peterborough Panthers hope their new era will begin with a bang – courtesy of the best of British.
The curtain goes up on the 2015 season when the Readypower Panthers take on a Great Britain team in a mouth-watering Challenge clash on Sunday, March 15 with the competitive action beginning a week later.
New number one Olly Allen faces a quick reunion with the club he raced for in 2014 as Somerset travel to the East of England Showground for the first Premier League Cup fixture of the campaign on Sunday, March 22.
That is the first of eight meetings in the Southern Group of a competition in which Readypower Panthers reached the final last season.
They will face the Rebels, Rye House, Ipswich and Plymouth home and away with only the group winners guaranteed to advance to the semi-final stage.
Once again they will meet East Anglian rivals Ipswich twice on Good Friday (April 3) with an afternoon trip to Foxhall followed by an evening showdown at the Showground, while a hectic period also includes an Easter Monday trip to Rye House on April 6.
Panthers will also face Plymouth in the opening round of the KO Cup with ties being scheduled around the Spring Bank Holiday weekend in May.
Panthers are scheduled to start their Premier League programme with a home outing against a highly-touted Sheffield team on Friday, April 17.
Their first away test in the league is the following week at Redcar.
Club supremo Rathbone said: "The visit of Somerset has the makings of a very tough start to the season against a team who are perennial challengers for honours at this level.
"It will be a stern test and the boys are well aware of the need to set their stall out early on.
"We have ambitions to win silverware and that means we have a job to do from the first meeting of the season to the last in the League Cup, the KO Cup and the league.
"I am yet to read or hear anyone say anything negative about our team. We are confident we have put a good side together and we have to go out and prove it on the track."
Supporters are reminded that season tickets remain on sale until the end of January. An application form can be downloaded at www.peterboroughpanthers.co/ticketoffice.
Readypower Panthers will stage their annual Press & Practice session on Thursday, March 12 with a pre-season social evening pencilled in for the following night (Friday, March 13)

One of the key features of Appthority's app analysis has always been the trust score calculated for each app to reflect the overall app risk level based on on its behavior. Customers have come to rely on this score as a quick way to assess overall risk and ease policy creation using trust score as an input metric. So any change to how Appthority modifies our app scoring algorithms is something we want to communicate proactively to our valued customers.
Over the next week, Appthority will be rolling out changes to our overall risk scoring system in an effort to both improve accuracy and support risk analysis enhancements we have planned for the near future. The result of this new approach will likely be reflected in some changes to individual app scores versus the previous scoring methodology. However, since we are changing the overall risk scoring system, all apps will be adjusted in unison to the new methodology, and thus comparing apps based on scores will will remain accurate.
So what have we changed exactly?
- The impact of redundant app behaviors have been simplified. For example, when an app makes repeated requests for on-device user data, we are now factoring the impact of this behavior just once rather than adjusting the score each time the request is made.
- New architectural improvements to our scoring system will make it easier for Appthority to speed enhancements and improvements in the breadth and depth of our risk analysis engines.
- We want to better align our scoring system to bring it into compliance with improvements to our risk analysis engine which are coming at the end of Q2-2015. These new engine improvements will expand the number of risk and threat detection rules, and also deepen the risk analysis for existing rules.
Customer should expect to see changes to trust scores over the next week. Overall, these scoring changes establish a more accurate foundation for calculating app risk and allow Appthority to better reflect future dynamic scoring updates based on enhancements to our risk analysis engine.

SANTA CLARA — In the 49ers' latest effort to improve their pass defense, they traded Friday for veteran cornerback Eric Wright, a San Francisco native who fell out of favor with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after only one season there.
In exchange, the 49ers sent the Buccaneers a conditional draft pick in 2014. Earlier Friday, undrafted rookie cornerback Lowell Rose was released to make room on the 90-man roster for Wright.
The Tampa Bay Times is reporting that Wright was arrested last week in Los Angeles on suspicion of driving under the influence. He also was arrested a year ago in L.A. for suspicion of felony driving under the influence, but charges were never brought against him.
"We are pleased to add Eric to our team," 49ers general manager Trent Baalke said. "As an organization, we have done our due diligence and anticipate Eric working hard to contribute to the 49ers."
The 49ers still have all five cornerbacks from last season's NFC championship team, including starters Carlos Rogers and Tarell Brown and reserves Chris Culliver, Perrish Cox and Tramaine Brock. Nnamdi Asomugha signed a one-year, nonguaranteed deal after being released from the Philadelphia Eagles.
Wright, who turns 28 on Wednesday, was a 2007 second-round draft pick by the Cleveland Browns, then moved on to the Detroit Lions in 2011 before signing a five-year, $37.5 million deal in March 2012 with the Buccaneers. The 5-foot-10, 200-pound cornerback attended Riordan High before playing collegiately at USC and UNLV.
He had only one interception in 10 games last season before drawing a four-game suspension from the league for violating its policy on performance-enhancing drugs. He attributed that positive test to his use of Adderall in the offseason.
Wright is due to make $1.5 million in base salary this season, or $4 million less than Rogers, the 49ers' starter at left cornerback the past two seasons who's due to make $13.5 million in salaries in 2014 and 2015 combined.
Brown's base salary is $2,925,000 as he enters the final season of his contract, Brock has a $1,323,000 tender, and both Culliver and Cox are slated to make $555,000 in base salaries.
Wright became expendable with the Buccaneers when they acquired former New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis.

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Judy Moore of St. Albert.
Left to cherish her memories are her loving husband, Glen; her daughter, Kelly (Shane); son, Richard (Melissa); five grandchildren: Matthias, Seth, Brynn, Rylun and Silas; sister, Sheila (Colin); nieces: Shannon (Nic and family) and Kari. Judy was predeceased by her parents: Marvin (1987) and Evelyn (2009) Lyonais.
Judy excelled in all things she endeavored. This is especially evident in her work and family.
Judy's career as a nurse reflected her caring, nurturing and devotional personality. Judy was well loved by patients and colleagues alike. She never hesitated to go the extra mile. During Judy's illness many, many colleagues reflected on her kindness and professional mentoring.
Judy's greatest joy in this world was being a mother to Kelly and Richard and a grandmother ("BESTA") to her five grandchildren.
Judy was always so good at humorous stories and practical jokes. She never failed to keep all of us in stitches.
Judy will be forever remembered as a loving wife, mom, "Besta", sister and favorite auntie, also a woman of courage, ambition and unmatched character.
A Special thank-you to the staff at St. Albert Sturgeon Hospital Units 17 and 18, and also the caring staff at Norwood Hospice.
Please plant a perennial in your garden this spring in memory of Judy.

Happy September 11 everybody! Ugh. That was in bad taste. I'm sorry about that. Let's just get past that awkwardness and watch my latest video about what it would be like if I had superpowers. Just think- if God would have given me these superpowers 11 years ago, I would have been able to prevent the attacks. That one's on you, God.
Ugh. I did again. Sorry everybody. Here's the video.
Ok. I'm done. Peace.

Most roads in Vietnam have neither divided traffic lane nor shoulder. Road condition varies from point to point. In between most travel destinations, roads are smooth only except all traffics mix together and form a heavy traffic. Motorcycles are presently the primary mode of transport in Vietnam. If it is a long-distance travel, most Vietnamese take bus or train, which are slow and low standards compared to those in developed countries. The number of cars is increasing everyday though.
Urban Transportation
Vietnamese cities are dominated by pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles, three-wheeled pedaled taxis known as cyclos, and especially motor scooters and motorbikes (there a couple of million of them in Saigon alone).
Inland Water Transportation
Vietnam is a country with plenty source of water transportation. Rivers and ports network remain attractive for the transport of coal, rice, sand, stone, gravel, and other usually high weight low value goods. There are tens of thousands of small "country" boats and ferry boats forming the livelihoods and personal transport depending heavily and successfully on waterway transport in the delta regions of the Mekong and Red River. This is a good way to experience the culture and local life of Vietnamese.
The overall condition of railway infrastructure in Vietnam varies from poor to fair. The railway lane of Vietnam is narrow size which brings slow speed and shaking experience. Besides domestic trains, there are also international trains which connect Vietnam to the People's Republic of China: the western Yunnan–Vietnam Railway, from Haiphong to Kunming, and the eastern railway from Hanoi to Nanning. There are currently no railway connections between Vietnam and Cambodia or Laos.
There are 7 registered airlines in Vietnam: Vietnam Airlines, Jetstar Pacific, Air Mekong, VASCO, Indochina Airlines, VietJet Air and Viet Star Airlines. Among them, Vietnam Airlines, Jetstar Pacific, Air Mekong and VASCO are currently operating both domestic and international flights.
Two international air ports in Vietnam are Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. There are both direct and one-stop international flights from the United States, Europe, Australia and Asia. It will be wise to book your international flights in/out Vietnam with your local agent as there is possibility to get a better promotion price in your own departure city.
Vietnam Airlines is the main air transfer operator on most routes both within Vietnam and from Vietnam to other international destinations. The company operates flights on most cities in Vietnam and offer quite good services for its size.
Jetstar Pacific has frequent flights among Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang. Jetstar is competitive in terms of price and service, while its frequently delayed departure time brings impact on its reputation.
Air Mekong is the latest addition to the small collection of airlines in Vietnam. Air Mekong is based in Phu Quoc and offers competitive ticket fare. Its operating routes are denser in the South and Central Highland of Vietnam. There are flights connecting Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City with Phu Quoc and Con Dao Islands; and with Vietnam Central Highland area.
Vietnam Air Services Company (VASCO) is a small airline that predominantly operates in the South of Vietnam from 2006. Although it is still a young firm in the domestic airlines market, it has its own advantage such as frequent flights to many popular tourism destinations in the area like Phu Quoc or Con Dao Island. This airline is only using small civil aircrafts such as ATR-72 or AN-38.
VietJet Air got permission to open its business and officially became the fourth airline in Vietnam in 2007, only until 25/12/2011 did it operate the very first flight. VietJet Air win its reputation of the cheapest airline in Vietnam by promotion campaigns like VND 10,000 for one way ticket from Hanoi to HCMC. As a budget airline, this company has been reviewed of good level for a budget airline.

Fatca legislation pierces corporate veil, says DMS
Strict liability for governance exposes compliance risk
The US Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (Fatca) has officially arrived in the Cayman Islands and spawned a new era of international tax compliance that was inconceivable only a few short years ago. Fund directors and other fiduciaries of investment funds must now comply with the US and UK intergovernmental agreements (IGAs) with Cayman.
These IGA regulations followed the amendment to the 2013 Tax Information Authority Law and the competent authority of any other country with which it has an IGA

Writing a good screed, U.S. edition
In honor of Independence Day, I'd like to offer some suggestions for writing a good political screed:
- Reference one or more of the founding fathers
- Describe a false dilemma, register everything in black or white.
- Invoke the Constitution without being specific
- Refer to the Articles of Confederation, Federalist Papers, or the private writings of the founders.
- Misrepresent 18th & 19th C. thinking. Opportunities exist in misunderstanding Natural Rights, Exceptionalism, Manifest Destiny, the Enlightenment, Objective Idealism, Romanticism. Get creative here.
- Make a inappropriate reference to the Separation of Powers.
- Make an appeal to Anti-Federalism, ex. States Rights
- Claim an immediate threat to a politically powerful but diffuse group: small business, seniors, the wealthy, etc.
- Warn of an existential threat to the nation:
- external threats might include Europeans, China, brown-skinned people, trade imbalances, or Communism
- popular internal threats are debt, minorities, Socialism, Liberalism, and moral hazard
- Engage in one or both of Naturalistic and Moralistic fallacies.
- Include numbers without scale, history, or comparison taken from unnamed sources.
- Reach a false conclusion (or none at all).
Following these hints will all but guarantee that your posts to your favorite social media sites will grab attention. Have a good time!
Interesting bit of junk mail
I received an anti-school tax mailing today with no identifier other than the U.S.P.S. permit information "PRSRT. STD. Permit #370, Albany, NY". A few minutes of searching turns up that this permit also appears on publications by:
- NY Farm Bureau
- SEIU Local 444
- Legal Aid Society of Northeastern NY
- Institute for Design Professionals
- School Span
- Project Lead The Way (various sites)
- Teamsters Local 294
- NYS Insurance Fund
- Albany Prep Charter School
and many others.
I wonder what the connection is? Are they using the same bulk mailing company?
Update 20110510 —
The local newspaper picked up on it too… Phantom Call for No Vote
Open letter to the Cusick campaign
To whom it may concern:
Prior to this morning I did not have a strong opinion on the Albany County District Attorney
A Pilot Comments on Security Theater
The New York Times has a cogent opinion piece by an airline pilot on Airport Security Follies. Think about it.
Are you worried about civil rights yet?
Whatever you think of Cindy Sheehan's clumsy, personal brand of activism, read [Glen Greenwald's discussion](http://glenngreenwald.blogspot.com/2006/02/learning-from-dear-leader.html) of her arrest at the State of the Union speech.
Are you worried about civil rights yet?
Observation on getting out to vote
Here are some numbers for New York City:
- According to the [NYC Department of Planning and the U.S. Census](http://www.nyc.gov/html/dcp/html/census/popcur.shtml), there are 8,168,338 people in the Big Apple.
- The 2000 U.S. Census demographics show that about 89% of those people were over age 18, which means that there should be roughly 7 million potential voters.
- The Board of Elections reported in March there were only 3,903,852 registered voters across the five boroughs.
- On Wednesday, 1.2 million people voted.
The next time you hear someone grousing about or praising the city government you can feel comfortable that the odds are better than 3-1 that they didn't have anything to do with it.

This week BOSTES endorsed our second professional development course, 'Parents as Classroom Collaborators'.
This one-day course explores the potential of parents in the classroom. While parent volunteers are a common sight in many schools, they are often an under-utilised resource. From K through to 6 and beyond, parents – and grandparents – can be a valuable asset for teachers willing to invest in a collaborative relationship.
On completion of the course, teachers will be better prepared to invite parents into their classroom; to build collaborative relationships and mentor parent skills; and to take advantage of working with capable parent volunteers to transform their ways of teaching. Participants will also gain a thorough understanding of the relevant legal and regulatory considerations relevant to having parents in the classroom, and have strategies for connecting with communities of practice to support their personal exploration of the potential of parents.
The course will focus on three foundations to effective collaboration with parent volunteers: collaborative relationships; skill building and mentoring; and richer classroom pedagogy.
We are particularly excited to be presenting a shortened form of the material at FutureSchools conference next March.

When we talk about the year 2016, it was definitely a year of revolution when platforms like virtual reality added quality and authenticity to the major digital platform through updated technology. Whether we talk about social media platform or our favorite "Google" likes; last year has definitely turned the pages of history to a change which seemed impossible in the pivotal years before.
But talking about virtual reality, how we can miss out talking about the technology which is beating each record and tools into a digital world where one can live in reality. Yes, I am talking about augmented reality. AR is already ruling the world of gaming and entertainment, but what if we can superimpose the same technology in the world of eCommerce? Yes, you heard it right! How about living the dream of traditional shopping on the digital platform?
One can imagine AR technology as a mode of satisfaction and testify if the products that you choose from the e-commerce site is actually going to look nicer in your house or not. What I am trying to say here is that AR has ruled the gaming world, but it can work out perfectly to redefine and upgrade the shopping experience of users through online portals. Let's talk about the benefits of the same.
How can augmented reality revolutionise the experience of eCommerce Shopping?
Nothing less than a retail outlet!
With the technology like augmented reality, shoppers can actually enjoy the in-store shopping experience, no matter where it is located! With the help of 3-dimensions view imposed by devices, shoppers can experience the interactive form of digital dimensions where they can realize whether the product is best suited for them or not.
Consider furniture, for an instance. With the help of AR, shoppers can realize whether the online furniture will perfectly go with the interiors of their house or not. The AR technology will help them in visualizing that piece of furniture to the appropriate interior of their choice.
Customization at its best
With the help of AR technology, shoppers can experience best time shopping online with customized choices. There are various retailers with eCommerce platforms that help in delivering custom made results for their shoppers. Considering clothes for an instance, shoppers can customize their experience as per the size, style, and preference in clothing.
Such a customization results in a better experience for the shoppers. In this manner, retailers end up building strong relationships with end users. Shoppers are dying to experience such a digital customization, and if you can succeed to offer the same; well they are all yours!
Virtual experience
Shoppers who prefer online shopping also look for an experience where they can try on outfits before they could even decide on purchasing the same. And such an experience must not involve any shipping charges of the products. And what can be better than AR experience for such customers? Digital clothing helps the shoppers with the better decision on which color will suit them for a particular event.
As a matter of fact, shoppers are more attracted to those platforms to offers such an experience as it helps in easy and simpler decision on shopping.
The experience is useful
Many users often land on to eCommerce platform just to browse the selection of clothes or furniture. They do not intend to buy the same. But when you offer them an experience like AR technology, they might change their mindset to actually purchasing a product from eCommerce platform.
A unique take on AR technology is in fact, pretty helpful for many retailers too. Then why not eCommerce platform! Such an experiment helps in converting the potential customers to actually customers at the end. Whether it's lipstick or a carry bag, if you show your users on how it will look on you, you might just help them in purchasing the same!
Just a good quality of product these days is not enough to attract customers. What you really require is a sense of latest technology which can help in building better marketing and sales strategy that will help eCommerce platform with actual revenues.
Though the technology is increasing, the same is true for competition in eCommerce. There are various platforms from digital to traditional, but convincing the customer to shop from your end is a challenge. Introducing augmented reality with magneto website development will help in developing a better technological use for the customers. Your products and technology must be appreciated by the shoppers, and hence one cannot just throw an arrow in the air. One must throw the arrow to a pointer which reflects maximum revenues in the eCommerce industry.
And well, that arrow must be your strategies and the wall must be augmented reality. Such a platform will result in an appreciated value in the industry where customers will feel definitely end up buying their choice from your platform!

Statue of one of the two horses near the ashvadavara, Surya Temple or Black Pagoda, Konarka 1003356
Photographer: Cornish, William Henry
Medium: Photographic print
Date: 1890
The Surya Temple at Konarak was constructed by king Narasimha of the Eastern Ganga dynasty in 1240 circa. This colossal temple complex was too heavy for the friable soil on which it was built and the 70 metres shikhara covering the sanctum collapsed in 1837 as well as the roof of the dance pavilion. Only the jagamohana survived with its large pyramidal roof rising in three tiers decorated with sculptures of musicians, dancers and maidens. The temple is conceived as a colossal processional chariot of the Sun with 12 pairs of carved wheels. Each of the 3 staircases leading up to the mandapa is guarded by a pair of animals. This photographs shows one of the galloping horses with an armed attendant.
