Fallin' Behind on the Blog - har, har

Well, hi!  I've neglected my blog terribly. :(

My poor garden fizzled out this year.  I could not stay on top of the weeds, and the tomatoes apparently drowned.  However, the Lolipop cherry tomato is still going strong.  It definitely gets my vote for "favorite tomato."

I picked one watermelon when it was about the size of a cantaloupe.  I still haven't eaten it. I hope it really is ripe!  (There was uncertainty about its ripeness when I picked it.)

Meanwhile, some of my ornamentals are being interesting. Check out the beautyberry:

Here's a close-up of the berries:

Aren't they pretty?  Oddly, I don't think that birds are eating them.  I keep looking for signs that the birds have been chowing down on them, and I don't see any. 

Also, the Muskogee crape myrtle has finally decided to bloom.  It's weird - its leaves are starting to change colors and it's just now blooming?!?  Well, whatever.  I'm just glad to see that it can bloom, and that the blooms are lavender.  They're a lighter lavender than I was expecting, but, meh.

I recently bought some tea shrubs.  That's tea-like-you-drink shrubs.  It's a camellia - camellia sinensis.  The blooms are small and white and not very showy, but in this case it's the leaves that I'm interested in.

I also bought an ume tree.  Since I have been waiting until the temperatures drop before digging large holes in the yard, it's been hanging out in its little pot for a few weeks.  I think it might have dried out. Sad. Well, I guess I can always order another one.

Those little yellow tomatoes were amazing! I'm glad I ate two out of your garden as I was forced to share them and had to divvy them up between the boys. Tell me the name again - I want to put it on my list for next season. Don't forget you had a bumper crop of garden ivy!

Best pizza I have experienced was in Vicenza Italy and I've had a lot of pizza all above Italy. Can i don't forget the name from the place? Noooo, however, if I drove approximately very long sufficient, I might locate it.

The Churches must learn humility as well as teach it.

I love what you guys are usually up too. This kind of clever work and coverage! Keep up the very good works guys I've incorporated you guys to my personal blogroll.

Hmm is anyone else having problems with the images on this blog loading? I'm trying to find out if its a problem on my end or if it's the blog. Any feed-back would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for giving your ideas listed here. The other element is that each time a problem comes up with a personal computer motherboard, individuals should not consider the risk with repairing it themselves for if it is not done properly it can lead to irreparable damage to an entire laptop. In most cases, it is safe to approach your dealer of a laptop for any repair of that motherboard. They will have technicians who may have an skills in dealing with mobile computer motherboard troubles and can have the right analysis and perform repairs.

And when it rains on your parade, look up rather than down. Without the rain, there would be no rainbow.

Hands down, cute blue mittens free Apple's app store wins by a mile. It's a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I'm not sure I'd want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

As soon as I found this web site I went on reddit to share some of the love with them.

So after an hour of waiting I'm still getting the error message. I did some Google searching to find out that a possible cause was PHP file permissions were not correct. I check the permissions and still no PHP working. Tech support on the 2nd phone call was more informed but couldn't fix anything, so it's getting escalated...

I absolutely love your blog and find most of your post's to be what precisely I'm looking for. Does one offer guest writers to write content to suit your needs? I wouldn't mind writing a post or elaborating on a few of the subjects you write related to here. Again, awesome site!

Hello, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one and i was just curious if you get a lot of spam responses? If so how do you protect against it, any plugin or anything you can advise? I get so much lately it's driving me insane so any help is very much appreciated.

Dan will be missed, great guy and teacher stunned that he's gone had a great lab yesterday and were joking around with him after class.

I told the taker that we mailed the form already, maybe late. He came twice after that and left note. He came again tonight around 7:30pm. Will he get the update DB to show our record soon?

Sir,
I don't know if this applies to my case, but I would like to describe the following situation:
1. My family responded to the census mailing.
2. Nonetheless, a census worker came by the house and interviewed my wife.
3. Following that, we began receiving computer generated messages requesting a census worker interview.
4. I sent an email to both the Census Bureau as well as the Boston Regional Office on June 22 complaining about the constant computer generated voicemails. No response.
5. I have since sent two more emails with zero response.
I am extraordinarily disappointed at the obvious waste, fraud, and abuse displayed by the U.S. Census Bureau in the conduct of the 2010 Census.
Understanding the need for a census, I simply do not understand a procedure where one fills out and returns a form via USPS; and then is visited by a census worker yet assigns a case number and requests additional follow-up meetings. I consider repeated calls by a computer generated message to be a form of harassment. All this for 10 questions! This complete inefficiency explains why it costs $6 billion dollars of my tax money for this household of 4. Additionally, in my email I invited the Census Bureau to contact me again via USPS. I will gladly return a response if provided an envelope with prepaid postage. No response.
This might explain some pushback that the Census Bureau is receiving.

Thanks so much for this article.Really thanks for your time! Much pleased.

Per the above: "The Foreign Trade Regulations (FTR) defines a routed export transaction as, "an export transaction in which the foreign principal party in interest (FPPI) authorizes a U. S. agent to facilitate the export of a shipment from the U. S. and to prepare and file electronic export information (EEI)."
My question is if in contract of sale the USPPI assumes the responsibilty of Export Clearance but not to facilitate the export would this still be defined as a routed transaction? Does the USPPI still need to obtain a POA from the FPPI to file the AES?

Sweet, This game is the bomb, hope this will be released for the 3ds

Director Groves -
While a second targeting mailing is good in theory it has caught a number of us cities off guard mainly because we needed the following information:
1. What was the cutoff date that determines the mailout universe?
2. What is the definition of "historically mid-range" census tracts that received the second mailing?
3. How can we assure residents that there form was not lost/destroyed/misplaced?
A second mailing gives the impression that you are receiving it because the Bureau never received it in the first place. Our suggestion for 2020. Set the cutoff date publicly, mailout to historically HTC tracts, and go out and help people fill out the form and skip the coffee mugs

The area was severely damaged but waterfront property is still a hot commodity in the area. You never know when a disaster will strike so for some people it's not worth worrying about it an living inland when they can be enjoying themselves on the waterfront

Hello, sorry for my English,
I'm starting to program in RA and found your site by accident. Receientemente'm trying to create interactivity between the 3D object and the user, once and loaded in the webcam.
Can you help with some examples? The truth is that I stuck on this one weeks and do not know what to do.
Thanks and encouragement.

Colorado seems to be in the over 40% (in dark blue), but the comments says it's between 40% and the national average

Isn't it about time to move the denver Regional Office to Phoenix? Phoenix is by far the largest city in the region and much more of a dynamic metro center.

I agree with the above, though I find it baffling rather than infuriating. What baffles me about this being an issue on LL is that this site has easily the best comments section I've ever encountered on the web. (I dare say there's a lot of unseen moderation by MYL and others, but even so.) And the few genuine trolls, like old 'Jimbino', are not generally vulgar or abusive.

I will always remember September 11, as the day that I had to have courage. All I remember was being in school, and everyone around me was anxious and with a scared look on their faces, unable to explain to me what was happening. And me with a million and one questions. I was picked up from school, and along the ride home, my mom explained to me what happened. As she explained, we both started crying, but out of the entire conversation, all my mom kept saying is that we must be by the side of those that are hurting the most.

People... no, not just people, the whole world doesn't really take into account how important the census is.

Well done Liz
I agree that blogging is a fantastic way to express your thoughts and opinions and like anything new that we try it feels strange or awkward at first, but after some practices it becomes very natural. I look forward to reading your next, more comfortable post

Hello AES TEAM,
do you have any idea when the two character carrier IATA code issue will be resolved in AESDirect?

I was driving to my full-time position in Riverhead while listening to the radio. The program guest was looking out of his apartment window while talking to the host. Suddenly he mentioned that he saw the first plane hit the north tower. A while later, still on the air, he saw the second strike. After reaching my office, my brother called and reminded me that our cousin had taken a new position in a firm in the south tower. Like so many others, he died that morning. I can always feel the sense of time standing still.

Hey Sarah, thanks for hosting my students! I'll be there in spirit and via the Blog!

Granted, I suppose it was cheating to plot Emily logarithmically, but her name does seem to fit the bill in some ways. Is it possible that what you're looking for in a linear/proportional graph may be too restrictive?

In reading the memories of others, I am brought to tears by the tremendous loss experienced by so many on that terrible day. The horror was beyond imagination only the acts of selflessness by so many New Yorkers restored my faith in humanity.
