Sprouts and Blooms

| 59 Comments | No TrackBacks
I've been so busy lately that I haven't had time to upload pictures.  These are two days old.  And now I'm so tired that I just closed the browser before saving this entry, so here I go again ...

This is what the bamboo looks like when bamboo sprouting season is in full swing.  When this picture was taken, it had been about a week since I mowed the grass, so that should give you an idea of how fast it grows.

AttackOfTheBamboo.jpgBeans and peas also sprout quickly, but I'm OK with that. :P The butterbeans are exploding out of the ground.  I'd better hurry up and set up that trellis for them. 

ButterbeanSprouts.jpgSpeaking of beans, peas are kinda like beans, and the snow peas started blooming today. Unfortunately by the time I noticed, it was too dark to take a picture of them. 

My husband and I are very excited about his iris.  (My husband wanted a red iris like the ones in the game Guild Wars.)  It didn't bloom last year, and I thought I'd have to move it.  I guess not, yay!

IrisBudsAndFriends.jpgSo far the tiny bit of petal that is showing looks black, not red.  Eh, black irises are cool, too. 

And that's it for now except to note that it hasn't rained in a while.  I'm getting worried about running out of water in the rain barrel.

Hmm it seems like your blog ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I had written and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog writer but I'm still new to the whole thing. Do you have any tips for rookie blog writers? I'd really appreciate it.

Looking at slide 17 of this morning's webinar on this topic, I'm wondering: is it really noteworthy that CA, FL, TX, NY, and IL are the states with the highest total domestic outmigration (residents who moved to other states)? This is where many Americans live to begin with, right? It would be more interesting to adjust for the state populations. Example: the 2010 ACS numbers show that only 1.6% of California's almost-37-million residents moved to another state. TX: 1.7%; NY: 1.9%. These are all BELOW the nat'l average of 2.2%.

Really good fonts.. even i used in some logos... Thanks a lot for sharing the fonts..Lee

It seemed odd to me that a spellchecker would include bandersnatch but not Benedict, so I checked in OpenOffice:

Well written, wonderful photos, excellent trip. You all give us hope for the future!

What is the correlation to the US Dollar with the import/export numbers, are they simply a function of the currency conversion or is there really more to that?

Please clarify if I have items under the same schedule B "D" valued at $1500 and "F" valued at $3000, must they both be reported in the AES record or only the "F" which is valued over $2500?

These are glorious days for typography: the quality and quantity of fonts being developed is impressive. Also I'm cheap... I Always prefer your free font lists.

What can i say? writer and the report are great. I definitely like good info.

Are u seriously calling Obama a Muslim? Do you research before you repeat with Rush Littlebrain says. He is a Christian. Your statement just reinforces why they still ask for race on everything...America is still a racist country. Period. Whites are always telling people to go back where they came from when they are the largest group of immigrants (or rather thieves/refugees)! You stole this land from the natives and now want to claim dominance?! Que? But what goes around comes around, why don't whites go back to Europe?

I'd like to make a distinction between "teaching ptolemaic astronomy" and "teaching geocentric astronomy as fact". Because, as it happens, I studied ptolemaic astronomy in college. Aside from both its historical importance and its relevance to some later mathematical developments, it also was certainly not some simpleminded and obviously wrong theory. Until Galileo's telescope, it was empirically flawless. And the geocentrists were much more sophisticated and aware than people commonly think — the mathematically more elegant heliocentric theory was known even to the classic Greeks, and certainly Ptolemy himself. In fact, he mentions in Almagest that a heliocentric model simplifies the geometry elegantly...but that it would require accepting some ideas that are clearly absurd (that the Earth is in motion and that because of the lack of observed parallax of the stars, they are unimaginably, impossibly far away).

Internet response options are particularly important in establishment surveys and have lagged in their implementation at the Bureau. From our experience the hardest part of getting businesses to respond online comes in the first time of contact and gaining trust but even then many, many businesses choose to respond online. With our flagship longitudinal survey, the Kauffman Firm Survey, more than 70% of the respondents now choose to respond online rather than with CATI. This has saved a lot of money, been more convenient for respondents, and allowed for the panel to be extend from 4 years to 8 years.

Kind of off topic, but tangentially related. Some office buddies and I have observed people using a construction such as:

I still think about how much money was spent on commercials during the transition to digital TV. I am wondering how that money could have been better spent. Yes, we need to reach people about the importance of the census and kudos because everyone is talking about whether your add was worthwhile so as I sit here an write this maybe what you did worked. It certainly increased awareness.

good post.Never knew this, thanks for letting me know.

what do you do if you have already sent in your form, and have received numerous forms. a neighbor sent his form in the same day he received it as did I, but we are still receiving another census form today.

My eyes were certainly rolling, and I only know enough about linguistics to understand what the reviewer was missing.

I think college students should be counted in the cenus, considering they are a large part of the population. I think the the way that both Boston and Ohio are trying to improve and increase the number of college kids counted are good ideas. Although I feel that Ohio's plan will be more successful many college students dont know when the census is or wont remember even if they do so by emailing them it will remind them it will only take a short time to do. I was confused about why the parents can not include college students in their census for the house instead the college students must do it from the residence of the school?

Hi Andrew
I would say the biggest challenge I had to overcome in college would be accepting that I would have no friends. Almost all of the students ignore me because they are too ignorant or afraid to talk to me. I t used to bother me, but now it doesn't because if they are too rude to talk to me, I don't want them as friends. Besides, I am 31 now, so I have nothing in common with most of the other students!

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.

Enjoyed reading through this, very good stuff, thanks .

I am curious to find out what blog system you happen to be using? I'm experiencing some small security problems with my latest website and I would like to find something more secure. Do you have any suggestions?

Really you're the asinine one representing meditative that he's a moron. He didn't perceive qualification the examine was theoretical or else if he literally doomed compelling a trolly.. I additionally reflection by earliest that he was speaking about one thing much larger except solely phrasing it? into something tiny similar to compelling a trolly car.. Thus yeah... you are dumb.

Needed to create you that very little note just to thank you again for all the pleasing ideas you have contributed in this case. This is really seriously open-handed of people like you giving openly just what a few individuals would have made available as an e book to make some dough on their own, certainly given that you could possibly have done it if you ever decided. Those tricks in addition worked like the good way to realize that some people have the identical dream really like my own to figure out much more with respect to this matter. I'm sure there are millions of more pleasurable opportunities ahead for many who looked at your website.

Thanks, I have just been searching for information approximately this topic for a while and yours is the greatest I've discovered so far. But, what in regards to the bottom line? Are you certain concerning the supply?
