Cooking for a crowd is a great way for people with a passion for food to share that enthusiasm with others. Every dinner party host faces unique challenges, which can range from choosing a guest-friendly menu to timing the meal to seating guests. Lack of ample kitchen space is another potential challenge, particularly for people unaccustomed to preparing large meals in close quarters.

With some crops being replanted in areas where there was hail damage, newly seeded crops are just coming up and susceptible to insect damage. As we move through the summer, older soybeans are also susceptible to insect pests. It is just important to scout fields periodically to monitor new infestations of pests. Also, CropWatch, https://cropwatch.unl.edu/ is a good resource for information on current crop conditions in Nebraska. In southeast Nebraska, we have been subject to isolated infestations of insect pests over the years. More recently the thistle caterpillar, which is the larval stage of the Painted Lady Butterfly. Many people were concerned about the millions of butterflies that invaded us, but it is larval stage which come from the eggs that the butterflies lay that can cause defoliation of soybeans. There were some fields that required treatment in southeast Nebraska. Another pest that showed up was the garden webworm. These types of insects would cause more issues with newly replanted soybeans due to much less foliage. Generally soybeans in the vegetative stage require treatment when defoliation reaches 30%. Here is a link to a graphic reference showing different levels of defoliating; https://cropwatch.unl.edu/soybean-defoliation-7-24-09 . Defoliation usually is not as much as we think it is, so good to have a reference.
My name isn’t Mary, but sometimes, like the Nurs¬ery rhyme – I am quite contrary and I’m having a difficult time getting my garden to grow this year. I don’t have silver bells and cockle shells, all in a row, but I have half clay and the other half, road rock that passes for my garden soil this year.
Many people have had their wisdom teeth removed. When people discuss wisdom tooth extraction with their healthcare professionals, it's not uncommon for them to wonder why all four teeth must be removed, especially if only one tooth or even none of the teeth are causing any pain or are infected at the time of surgery. According to the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, the location of wisdom teeth at the back of the mouth make it difficult for people to keep them free from plaque and food. Wisdom teeth also may trap harmful bacteria that can contribute to gum disease, decay and infection. By removing all four wisdom teeth, surgeons can greatly reduce this risk. But some may wonder why a less proactive approach is not recommended. For example, those who are less than enthusiastic about having their wisdom teeth removed may wonder why they cannot simply wait to see if the teeth do not cause any problems once they grow in, and then just keep them if no issues arise. While that's within patients' rights, extraction is often recommended when people are young because, at this stage in a person's life, the wisdom teeth are not completely formed. That means the surrounding bone is softer and the risk of damaging nerves or other nearby structures is smaller than it would be if the extraction is delayed until the wisdom teeth have fully formed. By having all four wisdom teeth removed before adulthood, people are greatly reducing their risk of both surgical complications and consequences that can adversely affect their overall health.

One morning our family was praying, “And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.” But in the back of my mind I was thinking, “Do I really want God to forgive me the way I’m forgiving others at this point in time? Because right now I’m wishing God would send meteorites from the sky to burn up certain people.”
