Teasels have been linked with medicinal purposes, acting as:
- Cure of Lyme disease
- Antibiotic
- Improved circulation
- Cure for warts
Although metal cards largely replaced them, nowadays there are still individuals who infinitely prefer to use teasels in their work, claiming they are more gentle than a metal comb.

'Peppermint Swirl' Ornament Tutorial
My intent was to bring this to you earlier in the week but each attempt at writing up the tutorial was futile. Each evening I'd sit my notebook on the arm of the recliner (big mistake) and attempt writing up the tutorial. Close to midnight, I'd wake up with my notebook still balancing on the arm of the chair with hardly a sentence written. This scenario took place 3 nights in a row. It is now Friday morning, and I have decided that I need a new strategy to accomplish this task. So, with coffee in hand, I am now going to write up this tutorial; once and for all.
This is a smaller version of the 'Simply Peppermint' Pincushion that I made back in January of this year. Ever since making the pincushion, I have wanted to create Christmas tree ornaments just like it. Well, since I was making a prototype, I thought that I'd drag you along for the ride.
This can be made as large or as small as you would like. You could make a miniature ornament all the way to a gigantic pillow by adjusting the size of the circle.
The supplies that are needed for this project are: fabric, paper and cardboard for pattern, scissors, Heat 'n Bond Ultra, an iron and pressing surface, felt, fiberfill, button, needle and thread, and sewing machine.
Begin by creating the triangle swirl pattern. Fold a paper circle into 8 pie-shaped pieces. For this project, I used a 3-1/4-inch circle. With a ruler, draw a 1/4-inch border around the straight edges of one of the triangles. This will allow you a 1/4-inch seam for sewing. With scissors, cut out the pattern piece from the circle.
For this project, I used a 3-1/4-inch circle for the body of the peppermint. Cut 2 circles from fabric. Cut 8 triangular pieces from fabric, 4 for the outside and 4 for the lining.
Pin one triangular lining piece and one outside piece together, right sides facing each other. Sew along the straight edges of the triangle, leaving the rounded edge open for turning. Repeat this step with the remaining triangles. Trim each seam close to the sewn edge. Turn right side out. Press flat.
Place one fabric round, right side facing up, onto a flat surface. Place one triangle, right side facing down, onto the fabric round. Sew this in place using a 1/4-inch seam.
Pin the remaining triangles, right sides also facing down and spaced evenly apart, onto the fabric round.
Place the remaining fabric round over the triangles, right side facing down. Pin in place. Sew around the perimeter being sure to leave a small space for turning above the previously sewn triangle.
A close up of the area that is left open. Again, please note that the area that you are leaving open for turning is above the triangle that had been previously sewn into place. Failure to sew the triangle into place ahead of time will result in a loose triangle that will need to be hand sewn at the completion of the project.
Turn right side out and stuff with fiberfill through the opening.
Hand sew the opening closed. This seam will not show as it will be covered when the triangles are anchored into place.
Create the holly leaves:
You will need 3 holly leaves for this project. To create the leaf pattern, start with a rectangular piece of paper the desired size that you would like your leaf to be (approximately 1/3 of the size of the body of the peppermint). The holly leaf shown in the diagram is for a 2-inch leaf. The holly leaves that were used for this ornament started off with a rectangle 1-inch in length. Divide the paper into three parts as shown in the diagram. Draw a holly leaf shape within the space as shown.
Cut the shape from the paper and transfer the shape to cardboard. This will become your holly leaf pattern.
Trace 3 holly leaf shapes onto the non-glue side of a sheet of Heat 'n Bond Ultra. Iron the Heat 'n Bond onto the wrong side of a piece of green fabric. With scissors, cut out the leaf shapes.
Remove the paper backing and iron the holly leaf shapes onto white felt, being sure to leave a minimum of 3/8" between the shapes.
Cut around each leaf shape leaving a scant 1/8" margin of felt around the edges.
To complete the ornament, bring all 4 triangles to the center and tack in place. To create a tufted look to the piece, bring your needle up and down through the center several times. Secure with a knot. Before cutting the thread, sew the holly leaves and a decorative button to the center. Add a loop of thread or fishing line for hanging.
I hope you enjoy making this project. Start now and you will have a tree full of peppermint goodies before the holidays.
It's back to the sewing room for me. Take care, everyone!

Following a steady stream of rider complaints, BART said Monday that starting next week it will start temporarily banning anyone caught fighting, acting unruly or treating the train as a toilet.
Two years in the making, the new state law set to take effect May 6 will allow the agency to issue "prohibition orders" banishing rogue riders from entering BART trains, stations or parking lots for 30 days to a year depending on the offense.
The No. 1 priority for BART police officers will be finding aggressive people who pose a danger to passengers and staff of the Bay Area train line. The agency will ban anyone who commits a misdemeanor or felony offense, which includes assaults, prostitution and drug dealing.
But three lesser offenses that pile up within 90 days will also lead to a ban. That includes ne'er-do-wells caught going to the bathroom outside of restrooms, tagging BART property with graffiti, blocking passengers from coming and going, or carrying hazardous materials on board.
The new law, which applies only to BART but follows similar powers granted to transit agencies in Sacramento and Fresno, was signed by Gov. Jerry Brown in October 2011, but it took until now for the rail line to prepare.
"BART police officers have completed extensive training on applying the law, including ways to work with special-needs populations, such as individuals with mental illness or homeless persons," BART Police Chief Kenton Rainey said in a statement. "Now it's time to begin using the authority as one of the tools we have to keep our riders and workers safe."
BART employees who work inside the kiosks at stations will have on their computers the names and pictures of any hooligans who are not supposed to be there.
The agency previously had to seek "stay-away" orders with individual county district attorneys to ban unruly passengers, so officials say this latest process will be much easier.

Astro Top-Box
We now have available a VENTURA top box to suit our Bike-Pack System. It is 32 litres in capacity and comes with a mounting plate and universal fitting kit.
We have developed a special Top Box Rack that can be easily fitted to the existing Bike-Pack System.
The mounting plate that is supplied with the top box fits to this carrier. Four M6 Allen head bolts, spring washers and flat washers are supplied to secure the mounting plate to the Top Box Rack. A separate fitting kit is supplied with the Top Box for universal fitting to other racks.
Because of the way it is designed the rack can be fitted facing forward when riding solo or to the rear with a pillion
On this particular bike it suits having it facing forward. In this instance we would not recommend having it to the rear. How it is mounted will depend on each individual bike.
Normally you would open the box from the rear as that is where the reflectors are. If you then turned the rack so it was facing forward it would necessitate turning the mounting plate on the rack. However there is no reason, other than personal preference, to which way it opens.
This system offers a huge amount of options and flexibility as to how the entire VENTURA Bike-Pack System can be used. From the Grab-Handle to Sport-Rack and Sport-Pack, to the Pack-Rack and any number of pack choices and now a hard top box. We are not aware of any other luggage system that offers such versatility.

As a follow-up to my article in yesterday's Oregonian about the failed attempt to include e-cigarettes in the state's smoking ban, today I'm posting a memo Multnomah County officials have sent to local bars and restaurants. In it, they mislead business owners about the dangers of e-cigarettes, telling them:
State law does not currently prevent the use of e-cigs; however business owners are encouraged to include e-cigs in no-smoking policies. E-cigs pose serious health risks and challenges to enforcement of the Smokefree Workplace Law as it appears people are smoking indoors.
The letter then recommends that businesses include e-cigarettes in their no-smoking policies, adopt completely smokefree outdoor dining areas, and adopt a completely tobacco-free policy for their entire properties. (Here's a PDF of the memo.)
There are valid reasons why a bar or restaurants might ban the use of e-cigs, such as the fact that some guests find them annoying. But county officials' claim that the devices pose "serious health risks" is completely unsubstantiated. There's not even much evidence that e-cigarettes are dangerous for users, much less for bystanders exposed to vapor secondhand.
There have been two recent studies on exposure to e-cigarettes in realistic indoor conditions. They are summarized here and here. Conclusion of the first:
… the quality and quantity of chemicals released in the environment [by vaping] are by far less harmful for the human health compared to regular tobacco cigarettes. Evaporation instead of burning, absence of several harmful chemicals from the liquids and absence of sidestream smoking from the use of the e-CIG are probable reasons for the difference in results.
And the second:
The study showed that e-cigarettes are a source of secondhand exposure to nicotine but not to combustion toxicants… Using an e-cigarette in indoor environments may involuntarily expose nonusers to nicotine but not to toxic tobacco-specific combustion products.
Even in the case of nicotine, exposure from real cigarettes was ten times higher than that from e-cigarettes.
Those are studies of indoor use. Multnomah County's advice is to ban them outdoors too. The idea that indoor e-cigarette use could be harmful to bystanders is at least worthy of investigation, although the evidence so far is that it's nothing to worry about. The idea that outdoor use presents serious health risks is wildly implausible.
This is yet another example of how the crusade against e-cigarettes is driven by unscientific alarmism rather than any empirical evidence of danger. County officials have shown that they have no credibility on the issue by misleading local business owners about the alleged risks.

Hints can take arguments in a number of formats, which are described in full in the LispWorks CAPI Reference Manual . When given a number, this should be an integer and the layout is constrained to that number of pixels. A constraint can also be specified in terms of character widths or heights, as shown in the next example.
In the last section, you created a window with five panes, by combining row and column layouts. Now consider changing the definition of the editor pane so that it is required to have a minimum size. This would be a sensible change to make, because editor panes need to be large enough to work with comfortably.
(setq editor2
(make-instance 'editor-pane
:text "An editor pane with minimum size"
:visible-min-width '(:character 30)
:visible-min-height '(:character 10)))
Now display a window similar to the last example, but with the
editor pane. Note that it is only the decription of the top-level column layout which differs. Before typing the following into the listener, you should close all the windows created in this chapter in order to free up the instances of
and so forth.
(contain (make-instance 'column-layout
(list row1 row2 editor2)))
You will not be able to resize the window any smaller than this:

Star Wars: Battlefront E3 Trailer: Focusing on Original Trilogy Locations
EA has just unveiled a new behind the scenes video depicting DICE's hard work going into the creation of the next incarnation of the Star Wars: Battlefront series.
Whether it's a T-47 Airspeeder on planet Hoth from 'The Empire Strikes Back,' or a speeder from the Endor forest sequence of 'Star Wars: Episode VI,' DICE and EA are going all-out when it comes to the creation and details of Star Wars: Battlefront.
DICE is using its Frostbite Engine along with its access to the original models and props from Skywalker Ranch in order to make everything in Battlefront as true to the series as it possibly could be. DICE isn't only making its speeders and creatures elaborately detailed, the studio has even flown out to the original locations that were used to film the sacred trilogy to recreate the same environments for this new Battlefront title.
DICE said to expect more of Star Wars: Battlefront next spring and has stated it will be coming to PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

Comic: No Rest For The Wicked
By: Andrea L. Peterson
Genre and Setting: Traditional Fairy-tale
Art Style: Manga, Greyscale, Inks
Is About: Princess November, who since the disappearance of the moon, is unable to sleep. When a mysterious beggar woman tells her that the only cure for her insomnia is finding the missing moon and releasing it, November runs away from her impending marriage and sets off in the quest to find it.
Website: http://www.icarusfalls.com/wicked/
Frequency: Thursdays
Availability: Free
First Impressions and Presentation:
More purple again, but the main page is done in a gorgeous split page look. Navigation on the left, and a lovely dreamy fairy-tale rendering of what I presume is our heroine.
Like most indie webcomics, the comic isn't on the main page, but there are 'latest page' links for easy access.
The Concept:
No Rest for the Wicked tosses several well-known fairy-tales (Little Red Riding Hood, Puss-in-Boots etc.), into one coherent story. Princess November herself is obviously the princess from The Princess and the Pea.
The idea of taking several well-known characters from different stories and throwing them together isn't exactly new. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (The COMIC, not the @#$@%@$ movie!) did this, so do a number of other other movies and books (Shrek, anyone?) This kind of setting is sometimes a risky business, because it usually requires pre-knowledge on the part of the readers to 'get' the story.
But if done correctly, this kind of story can be incredibly good, because not only do you get a good story, but you are assured that each of the characters involved have their own interesting backstories which lend a depth otherwise unattainable in their characters.
The Art:
After the dreamy and gorgeous front page, I was expecting the rest of the comic to be all dream-like as well. I was slightly disappointed to see it was harsher inks and greyscale, but the disappointment only lasted a page, because the art was quite pretty in its own way.
Like I previously mentioned, the art is done in a manga-style. Unlike the crisp lines and correct porportions of Saturnalia, Andrea's art style is much more 'loose'. This is not a bad thing, but the way, because it gives the comic a more unrestrained and expressive feel. Very much in keeping with the fairy-tale setting. The eyes do strike me as huge... (I haven't seen eyes that big since Cardcaptor Sakura) but I am happy to say after the initial surprise, my mind just accepted it and I never thought any more about it. All in all, Andrea stretches the porportions, but that woman makes those porportions work!
(BTW, you'll notice when I'm awed by a fellow female creator's work, I start referring to them as woman. I'd do the same for the males, if not for the obvious connotations that would bring *rolls eyes* )
I love the landscapes and backgrounds. Instead of going for all-out realism, the scenery is, for the lack of a better word: 'fairy-tale like'. Simplified, Ever-changing and a bit abstract sometimes, but gives you room for imagination.
Also, a salute for the little details put in, like the varying sizes of the frogs here.
The Writing:
Like the Malaysians like to say for all things superlatively good: Best!
I've mentioned that the concept for the comic is risky if the audience don't know already the fairy-tales involved, but Andrea overcomes this by providing a short explanation of the characters as they are introduced. These introductions, I might add, are never boring and never break the flow of the story. In fact, they seem to enhance it.
The time flow is not presented in serial order as the story jumps to and fro, but it is never jarring. The foreshadowing in the story is good too, and doesn't give away too much. I also have to give a thumbs up to the dialogue. Thank god it isn't the cheesy fairy-tale speaketh frequently found in some other attempts at this genre.
All in all, what I've seen convinces me that Andrea is a gifted storyteller.
Nothing much. If you want to be nitpicky, the schedule is a bit slow, but there's an update notice service available.
I love it! This is another find indeed!
The story epitomises everthing in the fairly-tale genre: dreamy fantasy and romance, all with chilling threat of something macabre underneath it all.
I highly recommend this one.
The Next Leg:
The Links page for this comic is a perfect model of how link pages should be organised. A little button showing off the art style on the left, and descriptions on the right. YES!
There are a lot of familiar faces in the linkslist, but I'm going to look for something new if I can.
The last link on the list caught my eye because if its distinctive art style. Flatwood may be another Keenspace comic, but it looks extremely interesting and different. The description is interesting as well:
FLATWOOD -- A young man wakes up with a fragmented memory in a nightmarish place that's both familiar and alien. Seriously creepy and a bit surreal; leaves you wondering what the heck is going on, and eager to keep reading and find out.
I guess I'll make a quick trip home to see what I've missed.

Berry College was recently bestowed the honor of presenting the Algernon Sydney Sullivan and Mary Mildred Sullivan Awards at the spring Honors Convocation.
For nearly 100 years, the
Algernon Sydney Sullivan Foundation has given these awards to recognize individuals whose "nobility of character" and dedication to service sets them apart as examples for others. Sullivan awards are highly prized and, over the years, have been bestowed on many interesting people who have proven their ability
to live up to the standards set by this honor. Past recipients of the Algernon Sydney Sullivan or Mary Mildred Sullivan Awards range from Eleanor Roosevelt to Fred Roger, noted star of children's television.
At Berry, the Sullivan Awards celebrate a male and a female graduating senior who demonstrate integrity in their interactions with others, provide vision for a better society, and give willingly and humbly to their neighbors. Awards are reserved for those individuals
who perform extraordinary acts of kindness and helpfulness but have largely gone unrecognized. Further, those honored are leading lives of purpose for the common good as distinguished by their nobility of character, leadership skills, servant's heart, and spiritual values.
Nominations will be solicited from students, faculty and staff early spring semester. In mid-March, the Sullivan Awards Committee will review nominations and make recommendations of award recipients to the Cabinet for final approval.
Please note that these are not academic awards.

Dr. Albert Bell, professor of history at Hope College, is the author of a new middle-grade novel, "The Secret of the Bradford House," published this month.
The second in a series, the mystery is set around Lake Barkley, in southwest Kentucky, where Bell's in-laws had a houseboat.
In 2008 Bell's first middle-grade novel, "The Secret of the Lonely Grave," won the Evelyn Thurman Young Readers' Award, given by the Western Kentucky University Libraries. The book also won a Silver Medal in Juvenile Fiction from the Mom's Choice Awards.
The main characters in the series are 11-year-old Steve Patterson and Kendra Jordan, neighbors and friends living on the outskirts of Cadiz. Steve is white, while Kendra is African American. In "The Secret of the Lonely Grave" they learn that their town has a connection with the Civil War and the Underground Railroad which has been forgotten. Steve also has to deal with a school bully.
In "The Secret of the Bradford House," strange things start happening when an old house near their homes is being renovated. Lights go on and off for no apparent reason. A swing starts moving when no one is sitting in it. A new neighbor, Rachel Mendoza, believes the house is haunted. The presence of this "third wheel," who sees Steve as possibly more than a friend, complicates Steve and Kendra's friendship. Steve is also reconnecting with his divorced dad.
Bell's middle-grade books have been praised by reviewers for their "excellent story line, great characters, and issues with bullying, family values, and a strong sense of friendship." They "tackle difficult and painful topics in meaningful, age-appropriate ways."
A member of the Hope faculty since 1978, Bell has been writing fiction and non-fiction for more than 30 years. His stories and articles have appeared in a variety of magazines, including "Jack and Jill" and "Children's Digest."
He also writes mystery novels for adults, including a Roman mystery series featuring Pliny the Younger. The second in that series, "The Blood of Caesar," was named one of the five best mysteries of 2008 by "Library Journal" and hailed as "a masterpiece of the historical mystery genre."
Bell's books are published by Ingalls Publishing Group of Boone, N.C. His Web site is www.albertbell.com.
The paperback novel costs $11.95 and is on sale at the college's Hope-Geneva Bookstore, on the ground level of the DeWittCenter, 141 E. 12th St., as well as at other area booksellers.

À propos du créateur
Athena is a commercial photographer based out of Missoula, Montana. She specializes in contemporary portraits containing energy and moods that request attention. She documents what is there or she creates what she wants. Her playful style mirrors her personality and reflects the way she interacts with the world. Athena grew up in New Mexico with her hippie parents, dirt roads and friends of all kinds. She received her first camera when she was ten, a Kodak Instamatic of some kind. Her parents wanted her to take photographs of her sister being born. Well, she documented the event too well and most of the photos could not be shared with family and friends. Athena went on to document her punk rock youth and then moved to the other side of the camera for her professional snowboard career. When she was no longer satisfied with her point and shoot photography she moved up to Montana to be with friends, lakes and Rocky Mountain School of Photography. And there, she began where she is now.

RAIDHere's a bunch of RAID stuff from Wikipedia.
RAID 0 comprises striping (but no parity or mirroring). This level provides no data redundancy nor fault tolerance, but improves performance through parallelism of read and write operations across multiple drives. RAID 0 has no error detection mechanism, so the failure of one disk causes the loss of all data on the array. RAID 1 comprises mirroring (without parity or striping). Data are written identically to two (or more) drives, thereby producing a "mirrored set". The read request is serviced by any of the drives containing the requested data. This can improve performance if data is read from the disk with the least seek latency and rotational latency. Conversely, write performance can be degraded because all drives must be updated; thus the write performance is determined by the slowest drive. The array continues to operate as long as at least one drive is functioning. RAID 2 comprises bit-level striping with dedicated Hamming-code parity. All disk spindle rotation is synchronized and data is striped such that each sequential bit is on a different drive. Hamming-code parity is calculated across corresponding bits and stored on at least one parity drive. This level is of historical significance only. Although it was used on some early machines (e.g. the Thinking Machines CM-2), it is not used by any current commercially available systems. RAID 3 comprises byte-level striping with dedicated parity. All disk spindle rotation is synchronized and data is striped such that each sequential byte is on a different drive. Parity is calculated across corresponding bytes and stored on a dedicated parity drive. Although implementations exist, RAID 3 is not commonly used in practice. RAID 4 comprises block-level striping with dedicated parity. RAID 5 comprises block-level striping with distributed parity. Unlike in RAID 4, parity information is distributed among the drives. It requires that all drives but one be present to operate. Upon failure of a single drive, subsequent reads can be calculated from the distributed parity such that no data is lost. RAID 5 requires at least three disks. RAID 6 comprises block-level striping with double distributed parity. Double parity provides fault tolerance up to two failed drives. This makes larger RAID groups more practical, especially for high-availability systems, as large-capacity drives take longer to restore. As with RAID 5, a single drive failure results in reduced performance of the entire array until the failed drive has been replaced.
FreeNASNetwork Attached Storage products have become more commonplace as users demand access to their data on all their network-connected devices. FreeNAS is a FreeBSD-based operating system that installs in 2GB of space and can turn your old hardware into an enterprise-level storage box.
What you'll need
- Computer: You want the fastest processor you can salvage, a motherboard that supports AT LEAST 4GB of memory and has multiple SATA ports, a case with many drive bays, and a 300W and Power Supply.
- DRIVES!: You can use any drives you've got running around while you're learning FreeNAS, but when you decide to build a FreeNAS box that will serve as your permanent storage you should consider using either the WD GREEN or WD RED series of drives. They run cooler, quieter and use less power.
- PCI SATA card (Optional)
- Flash Drive: 4GB
- Monitor + Keyboard
- Blank CD
- USB CD-ROM drive
- A second network-connected computer that can be used to configure the FreeNAS box
What you'll do
- Download the latest FreeNAS disto and burn it to CD-ROM
- Open the computer and strip out the hard drives and optical drives. You want to save all the drive bays and SATA ports for the array drives.
- Plug the Flash drive into a USB port
- Connect all your drives to the motherboard. You MAY need additional SATA power breakout cables. You may also need a PCI SATA board if you want to install more drives in the case than the motherboard supports.
- Connect the monitor and keyboard to the computer, the connect the computer to your network.
- Power up the PC: Load the CD into your USB optical drive and make sure it's set to boot from that optical drive
- Install FreeNAS on the USB Key
- Log into the FreeNAS box. (The IP address will show up on the screen connected to the FreeNAS box.)

Kanye West Hires Lana Del Rey to Perform at Wedding With Kim Kardashian
There must be a lot of perks to having celeb status when planning an extravagant wedding! Kanye West knows this firsthand, after hiring Lana Del Rey to perform at his upcoming wedding with Kim Kardashian.
Kanye tried and failed once before to get the 'Summertime Sadness' star to help him woo Kim, whose favorite song is the singer's hit 'Young and Beautiful.' Lana turned down the offer to perform the song at the big production the rapper put on at San Francisco's AT&T Stadium to propose to his then-girlfriend.
Apparently Lana had a change of heart, as she's accepted Kanye's follow-up offer for her to perform at his wedding. According to the Mirror, the change of heart was purchased at a very hefty price tag.
The 27-year-old pop singer will be flown into Paris (or maybe Florence?) for the extravagant wedding, reportedly for a six-figure sum, though nothing has been confirmed. A source shared, "Kanye knew how much Kim loved Lana's music, which is why he tried to get her to perform at the proposal. So he upped the offer to perform at the wedding and told Lana that it's his and Kim's special song and it would mean so much to have her perform it. She couldn't say no."
If Kanye went through so much trouble just for one song, we can't even imagine what the rest of the wedding is going to be like!

Rhine in Flames: the river at its most romantic. This captivating display of fireworks and illuminations can be witnessed on five dates at some of the most scenic locations on the Middle Rhine. There's always a traditional wine festival or similar celebration happening at the same time, as well as music and dancing. In the late evening, beautifully illuminated boats sail out into the river to give their passengers the best views of the fireworks, which begin as the flotilla arrives. Every year the first section of the route is from Linz to Bonn, but if you'd rather stay on dry land, maybe to see the illuminated boats as well as to enjoy the fireworks, the riverbank celebrations at Linz, Remagen, Bad Honnef, Königswinter and Bonn are just the thing for you. Bonn's Rheinaue Park is the venue for the biggest single Rhine in Flames event, a festival that draws some 300,000 visitors, spreading excitement during the afternoon and offering a wonderful view of the fireworks spectacular before midnight – the climax and culmination of an unforgettable evening.

The US—rather surprisingly—is turning out to be more resistant than Europe to Internet advertisers like Phorm and NebuAd. Phorm, which has struggled to sign up US customers (it doesn't appear to have any yet) for a service that uses clickstream data from ISPs to target ads to users, has now axed its four US board members and brought on more Brits to fill the seats, including former chancellor Norman Lamont.
NebuAd offered a similar product in the US and signed up several ISPs for trials earlier this year. Those trials came under heavy Congressional scrutiny, however, so much so that the company's CEO left and NebuAd retooled its business model.
The hostile climate is apparently causing Phorm to rethink its commitment to North American expansion, though the logistical difficulties of getting all corporate directors into the same room for meetings are also apparently to blame.
Things are full speed ahead in the UK, however, as evidenced by the big names brought on board today. In addition to Lamont, Kip Meetk gets a seat on the board; according to The Guardian, "Meek is one of the government's principal independent advisers on broadband and is likely to play a crucial role as Phorm attempts to persuade legislators that its technology does not breach privacy laws."
The big question remains: when Phorm goes live in the UK, will it truly offer an opt-in service?

Watching the sunset at Mystic is all most as good as catching the full moon. Winter, spring, summer or fall, all day and all night is my favorite. The rates are reasonable And I love staying in those cabins. The tiny wildflowers can be seen next to the tubs. Plenty of room in there so bring the whole family. The water is always great. I got to get back there. Man do I miss it!

grackle: I don't want to steal any thunder from etwizard (the more the merrier, I feel!), but I'm a Landscape Architect with over 49 years experience in the Green Industry. So, I hope you don't mind my adding information to etwizard's knowledge.
Here are some wonderful links for apples, antique and otherwise:
This is a wonderous 8-page print out on all the apple varieties that you can buy:
I carry copies of this in my truck, so when I visit fruit stands, I'll know what I'm buying.
From the same site, a link that tells you all about different culture of fruit and nut trees...including FIGS!
A very nice link describing apple festivals around the U.S. and Canada
There are
nurseries listed for the Dakota's or Minnesota that sell Antique Apples, but...a stone's throw from my home is an incredible nursery with a national reputation that sells antique apples and the trees
This is their catalog:
Be prepared! This is exhaustive and lengthy! It will take about 2 cups of tea to get through it all, but the information is out-of-this-world!
That should keep you busy for quite a bit of time, grackle. I've visited the South Meadow Fruit Nursery and they are delightful.
P.S. I love your name! My grandpa had a love/hate relationship with grackles and used to hang aluminum pie pans on the fruit trees to keep them away! And nice to have someone from The Dakota's!

Dairy_Queen -
Any and all help and advice is very welcome!! So watch out as you may have opened a can of worms once I can get out and garden and you are hearing from me entirely too much!
I can't wait to check out the websites - that will be a great way to spend my Sunday!
Thanks again!

Oh, grackle, you're so welcome!
Again, as a cooking thread here can generate pages of answers, I believe that most gardeners have a wealth of knowledge, so that's why I tossed my gardening gloves into this thread!
Lord knows, that when the sun finally comes out,
and takes away the feet and feet of snow in Michigan
I'll be rarely posting on any site, so the more gardeners to give information, the better!
The last link that I gave you, to the actual catalog, is just....wonderous! Find out 'which' apple was called the "mortgage lifter", because it was worth so much money! Or which apple is the ultimate Swedish dessert apple! If it wasn't such a cliche, I'd love to decorate my kitchen in apples: but I'd freak myself out and think that the next stop is "Scary Cat Lady, you know, the kind of woman who has 50 cats roaming around her house?!"
You are going to have a First Class Sunday with all these delightful places to visit; now I'm aching for a good, old-fashioned apple crisp!

grackle: We're Zone 5 in Michigan and Zone 4 in Chicago. I grew up by Brainerd, Minnesota, so I think you're a Zone 3, which we used to call "Why bother?"
I did a little bit more research for you, and this is an organic nursery out of New York state that breeds for Zone 3!
Here's the Info link:
Their apple index is NOWHERE as well written as South Meadows, so what I'd suggest, is read South Meadows for some varieties that you'd like to try growing, and then cross reference them at
site to see if they have them. Potsdam site is more technical: they list bloomtime, height, etc. and South Meadows is more like poetry.
Apple index for Potsdam:
And this is the last link for the day, a very strange one, indeed! I can't quite figure out if it was an actual project of a virtual project. Anywho, it's loaded and loaded with links enough for
apple geek...
Now, this will keep you busy until MONDAY!

Post subject: 'Scion wood' and other notes
Thanks to Dairy Queen. Alot of good information in those posts. I guess I should have specified 'Scion' wood. A 'scion' is a cutting from last years new growth. For all the reasons that Dairy Queen so eloquently stated its the best, if not the only wood to use. I have not tried 'older fig' wood to root.
The three to four four year rule may not apply. It all depends on what you're working with. Some figs will give you a few fruit, (say that fast 6 times and you get wet fruit) on the third year. Young figs can be fairly whippy (flexible) and may allow you to gently bend them into a Espalier shape (flat on a fence) Generally though, you need to watch were the buds are. Figs are not so easy to identify and other fruit trees. Their buds don't announce themselves at pruning time, so sometimes you may have to make that critical cut late. Its not the end of the world though. I find with figs that less is more. Less cuts, more fruit. But the same rules apply, no cuts wild tree (as in Medusa). So read about them and watch.
As for getting wood, (scion) I would join a "Rare Fruit Society". In California, there are many chapters up and down the State and these folks talk trees. These folks also trade 'scion wood'. Once a year they have a 'scion fair' where everyone brings their 'wood' cut into 12" pieces in a plastic bag with a label and a damp paper towel in the bag, and they get set out on tables and the members take a few of what they want. They take the 'wood' home and 'graft it' onto their trees. (A whole other lesson there) But these folks help preserve the different varieties of fruits that have for one reason or another, have fallen out of favor with commercial growers. So read and learn and help preserve our heritage.
By the by. I graft scions to dwarf rootstock and I have apples in two years.
Hope this helps.[/i]

No worries here. Your last past had all sorts of good info. I love finding new sites and info that I didn't have before. Write on they say.
Come to California and I'll teach you how to graft figs.

Oh my, I visited the apple web sites which
listed and got an instant feeling of nostagia for my roots back in
. Down here in
we don't have the wonderful variety of apple trees which seem to grow wild up in the northern and midwest states of the U.S.
Better than peaches, better than fresh sweet corn, tomatos, plums, pears, or oranges, an
picked fresh must be the
ne plus ultra
of produce. I don't miss
during the winter, but I sure miss it in autumn. I can remember Sundays growing up and watching the Cleveland Browns play football and then going out in the country to buy apples and cider and pumpkins and then stopping at Snow-White Donuts on the way home. Mmmm,
glazed donuts
apple cider
on Sunday nights.

I got
Warm Fuzzies
reading your post, Sarape. You have a wonderful way with words!
I've been fixated on apples my entire life. I'm clueless as to why, but I have my suspicions. A toy, that I treasure to this day, is a hand-carved wooden apple, that my Grandfather made for me. It is apple-sized. However, it is cut in half, horizontally, and when you open it...inside is a wee apple tea set that he also carved...fit for fairies and dolls! The two halves of the apple become a table, because the stem of the top half of the apple slips into a hole in the bottom of the apple. I'll go to my grave with that toy!
Secondly, I got started in horticulture when at age 3, my grandparents taught me to dis-bud and graft apple switches at their orchard! I still have the pen knife that my grandpa gave me (it's on my keyring) and that's what got me started in my passion for plants.
A trip to South Meadows orchard is right up there with a Botanical Disneyland, for me! All the antique apples are displayed in boxes behind the counter, and you ask the clerk to sniff them or try them. Because the yield is so small, they only allow you to buy 12 apples of any variety at a time...but...I don't mind the Let's Not be Greedy aspect of it. With everyone interested in antique apples, it allows many people to experience it, instead of a few glutinous few.
In June, I rush to South Meadows for Yellow Transparents, the apple of CHOICE among the Amish...it's is THEIR apple of choice for apple sauce. One of my friends Amish relatives puts up over 100 gallons of Yellow Transparent applesauce for her "boys", meaning sons AND husband. She said that there would be a revolt if the boys didn't have apple sauce with EACH meal...including breakfast.
Apples....Eve sure knew what she was doing! I give her
for that!
And I agree, Sarape....warm applesauce donuts with cinnamon sugar topping and freshly pressed cider! More than enough reason to stay snow-bound Up North!

WooHoo for the MacIntosh Apple! Do they have a Historical sign there, David?
Apple crisp is my hand's down favourite dessert! I've never met a soul who didn't like apple crisp!
Here's the recipe that I've been using for over 40 years. It was my Gran's and makes an 8 x8 pan, but I have a beautifully made 9" round ceramic dish that is reserved exclusively for Apple Crisp. Since I make it a couple of times per month, it always gets used. The only change that I've done is to make it out of two different types of apples, which makes for a firm and soft texture caressing your tongue. The Granny Smith stays al dente while a softer apple turns into almost an applesauce, making for a nice contrast in textures.
As you know, depending on
you stick on top of the apples, it's a crisp, buckle, betty, or slump...and there's a load of fudging on these descriptions. THIS crisp uses oatmeal, which is why it's "crisp"!
Edited to say:I
that I'd forgotten to add something...d'oh!
David: you'll notice that there is NO LEMON JUICE IN THIS RECIPE, and that is intentional! Old, old time cooks knew that when apples "browned" from oxidation, their flavour deepened. Lemon juice is added to pie recipes to keep fruit from browning. In this case, you WANT the apples to brown. This is an Old World "trick"; the Amish still use it in their "schnitzes" or dried apples. So, when I make this, I cut up all the apples, assemble the topping and if the apples aren't brown enough yet, I wait a half an hour or so, until they have oxidized beautifully. This adds a deep, deep apple flavour to the dish. Okay, now I can move on!
6 Apples: 3 Granny Smith and 3 other (McIntosh, Ida Red or another soft apple) Peeled, cored and sliced into 16 slices
1/4 Cup of Apple Cider, unfiltered if you can get it
3/4 Cup of Dark Brown Sugar for extra kick, or light for a delicate taste
1 Cup of Old Fashioned Oatmeal
3/4 Cup of All Purpose Flour
1/2 teaspoon of Cardamom
1/2 teaspoon of Cinnamon
(You can add nutmeg or mace, but Scandinavians all agree...cardamom and apples is a marriage made in heaven)
1/2 Cup of Unsalted Butter, Room temperature
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray pan with PAM or butter insides. Spread apples into bottom of pan, press down to avoid spaces. Pour cider over apples.
Mix flour, rolled oats, cardamom, and butter together until crumbly. With your hand, take the topping and sprinkle it over the apple. Pat very, very slightly into the apples.
Bake for 40-45 minutes until the top is brown. Serve warm with fresh cream or whipped cream or ice cream or just sit down with the pan and eat it all by yourself! (not that I've done that, mind you!)

Hey DQ, I really like the idea of using the two varieties of apple to make the crisp! I love the idea of the two textures and I never would have thought of it myself (non-lateral thinker that he is)
Yes the farm where the MacIntosh was developed is well marked and is still a working orchard!

Dairy_Queen - I have been meaning to let you know how much I enjoyed that website!! Now if I just had the space for all the wonderful trees I want!
We are a bit south of Brainerd here, so are usually classified in Zone 4 or 5. All the better for the success of my figs! (Some positive thinking here!)
Thanks again and I'll keep you updated on my progress!

Alas! My fig tree is falling apart!
Over the years I didn't diligently prune away all the shoots that developed at the base. I ended up with 5 trunks. They had to spread horizontally to find the space to grow. Last Fall one of them gave way to gravity. And just when the branches were getting low enough for me to actually be able to
them to pick the fruit!
Two weeks ago two more of the trunks went over together. They were FULL of unripe fruit!
I plunked as many branches as I could in a picnic cooler of water hoping they could hang on long enough for the figs to ripen. I dipped several cuttings of different sizes in rooting hormone and stuck them in a 5-gal container of moist soil.
Yesterday, the fourth trunk went over. WAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaa!
I put a few more cuttings in rooting hormone and moist soil.
There's a single, off-balance trunk left. If it makes it to ripening, I'll cut off as many branches on the off-balance side as I can and see if it will develop a branch or two on the side that was crowded out to regain some equilibrium.
Meanwhile, I'll be starting all over again with seedlings to establish another tree in a better location. But that means another 4-5 years without figs until it becomes mature.
I'm so sad but at least we'll have some fine fire wood this Winter.

Ah, Rainey: What a sad post to read.
I don't feel like going back to the beginning of the thread, but I'm guessing your fig was growing in a container and that's why it couldn't stand up for itself.
But, how disappointing to have all those lush figs, waiting to ripen, taunting you!
At least you did the right thing with the rooting hormone; good luck to you. Now, you might want to hang onto that seedling that you were planning on giving away.

Nope! It's been growing in the ground since we bought the house and it has massive roots that it just broke away from. Meanwhile, Caryn has already come to get her seedling. But all is not lost -- I put a number of seedlings in pots as I found them growing in flowerbeds and planters.
If the cuttings take root (it looks like one of the ones from 2 weeks ago might have; it's still quite fresh looking), they'll have a good headstart on the seedlings.
I knew you'd understand how rotten it feels. Serves me right for not watching out for it better years ago when those multiple trunks developed. I guess I was being greedy.

Dana's Low-Carb for Life (Podcast)
Come To The Low Carb Meet & Greet!
Hooray! It's time once again to announce the Low Carb Meet & Greet -- I believe this is the Fourth Annual Low Carb Meet & Greet. "What is the Low Carb Meet & Greet?," I hear you cry.
It started when Jimmy Moore Jimmy Moore told me that his wife Christine's family lives in Bedford, Indiana, just 30 minutes south of my home in Bloomington. There was a family reunion, and they would be in the area for a week. Of course I asked them to come over! They came for lunch, and a fine time was had by all.
The next year, I got smart. When Jimmy and I started talking about the two of them coming over for lunch again, I said, "We are missing a trick -- let's invite the low carb community to join us!"
That first year we got about fifteen, maybe twenty people. By last year, we had to cap it at fifty, 'cause, honestly, folks, there's a limit to how many people I can feed in my back yard.
So anyway, The Fourth Annual Low Carb Meet & Greet will be on Saturday, July 20th, from 1-5 pm. I'll be cooking a ton of food, as I always do -- ribs have become kinda traditional, and there will be salads and low carb cookies, and -- oh, a bunch of stuff. I haven't decided yet.
And you'll hang out with me and That Nice Boy I Married, and Jimmy and Christine, and, we hope, Amy Dungan. And this year, Dr. Jim Carlson, author of Genocide: How Your Doctor's Dietary Ignorance Will Kill You!!! and columnist for CarbSmart MagazineCarbSmart Magazine, says he'll be coming. We're hoping Andrew DiMino, Publisher of CarbSmart Magazine, will make it, too. Very likely Keith Johnson, my next door neighbor, Organic Gardening God, CarbSmart Magazine columnist and all-around lovable guy can be prevailed upon to attend, as well.
Plus, of course, a whole bunch of super-nice people who eat just like you, and won't look at you funny for eating all that meat! I'm telling you, the low carb community is made up of the loveliest people. I think it's the high intelligence from the cholesterol intake, and our stable blood sugar. Honestly, you'll never find a more congenial group.
You'll get to meet Jed the Hero Dog, Dexter the Pug, and Gracie the Incidental Beagle. Also Spike the Cat, who likes people and will probably be hanging around. And the chickens! And should you have a driving curiosity to know what my house is like or whether I can really cook, it will be fulfilled.
Once again, we have to cap the event at 50 attendees, so if you're coming, sign up! And once again, we're asking for a $5 donation to help defray the cost of food.
Where to sign up, you ask? Why,here, of course.
To clear up a couple of worries people have had in the past:
I've had people ask if it was okay that they were not at goal weight -- would they be looked down on if they were still overweight? Please, please know that this is not a gathering of skinny people; there will be people of all sizes and people at all points in their journeys. If ever a group of people understood what you are dealing with and going through, it's these folks.
Also, last year we had people worried that we were going to make them stand around outside in killer heat. It was, indeed, 106 on Meet & Greet Day! We had the party inside, in the lovely air conditioning. Everyone loves a cookout, but there are limits! So never fear; if the weather does not cooperate we will move indoors.
So if you're anywhere near Indiana, or not near Indiana, but don't mind a road trip (we have folks who come from Texas!), put the Fourth Annual Low Carb Meet & Greet on your calendar, and I'll see you in July.

Fat fast cookbook.
I had started the fat fast after down loading the kindle version. My sister noticed the difference ( my belly fat loss) , so she downloaded the book also (sold one for ya) We have both been texting back and forth our meals and what we have put together for our five "feedings" Each day. We live an hour and a half apart. We have also been encouraging each other. My sisters daughter is getting married Sept 21. Pictures last forever....
My sister came up with this recipe (sounds funny to call it a recipe) For the roasted pecans. After melting the butter and roasting the pecans, she stirred in stevia and cinnamon. The pecans taste like streusel topping...:)
This weekend a friend of ours noticed my sisters strange eating habits. ( little portions in little bags). After explaining the low carb diet and the fat fast, our friend may be your next book buyer. She wants to see our results first. The heat is on.

I am so excited!!!
I had seen a post by Jimmy about the last back yard party you had and wished I could have gone. I have one of your first low carb cookbooks and the Fat Fast on my kindle. It'll be so nice to meet Jimmy and his wife Christine and the others. I am excited to meet Dr James Carlson. His book made me see how serious I needed to be. What can I bring? Lynn
