If the ground hasn’t frozen yet, there are still things you can do in the garden in cold-winter zones. By cold winter, I mean areas where the ground freezes rock-solid for winter and doesn’t soften up again until spring.
Today’s theme: what to do with all those plants.
Plants that are in the dirt:
All the dead annuals should be pulled up out of the ground when they turn brown under the first overnight frosts. Leaving them in the ground all winter is asking to have mould and other diseases come spring.
On Wednesday, November 9, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time, we will see the first “national” test of the Emergency Alert System (EAS). Formerly known as the Emergency Broadcast System, this is the alert and warning system that interrupts television and radio broadcasts.
The public will hear a message lasting thirty seconds which clearly states: “This is a test.” The message will be the same across radio, television, cable and satellite outlets. Continue reading
Singer-songwriter Feist played at Chicago’s Riviera Theater on November 4. Never before have I been to a concert that made me want to fall asleep until this one. Despite being a little tired from the week, I was ready to rock.
In every other concert I’ve been to the headliner usually comes out with one of their faster songs to get the crowd ready to jam out for the next hour or so. Not so with Feist. She played a slow song followed by another slow song and then another and another and it went on like that for the next 45 minutes until she played “My Moon, My Man” from her 2007 album The Reminder. Standing in the middle of the middle level would seem like an ideal place to take advantage of a venues acoustics, but this was not so with this concert. Continue reading
Hello there, Crasstalk. How’s your week going? Let me see if I can make it more fun. Continue reading
Joe Frazier was born in South Carolina in 1944. In his autobiography, he says he got into boxing when his uncle took a look at his nephew’s build, and said “that boy is going to be another Joe Louis” Frazier built his own heavy bag, out of a burlap sack filled with rags, corncobs, and bricks, and hung it from a tree on his back yard. He wrapped his hands in his mother’s stockings. Continue reading
Celebrity lawyer-shrew, Gloria Allred, told a joke today during a press conference wherein a fourth Herman Cain sexual harassment accuser (pictured) came forward. It wasn’t funny. It was rather skeevy. We all groaned and then moved on to the rest of the story. This didn’t reduce the skeeve factor. Yes, kids, there’s talk of “genitals” and old Hermie’s crotch. Ew.
There is a theory being floated that the major labels are in collusion about the fate of the compact disc. If the rumors are to be believed 2012 will see the end of the CD and maybe the end of the world, though the two seem unrelated. Continue reading
After ten hours of deliberation, the jury unanimously found Conrad Murray guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the death of Michael Jackson.
So, a scientific study was published saying we had neutrinos that were moving faster than the speed of light. That’s crazy right? I mean, seriously, all we’re trying to say is that Einstein was full of crap. If someone is going to try and change the way we think about fundamental physics, it’s got to be reviewed by the best in the field. Why else would journalists report on it?
