The Market's So Good Right Now

By Jennifer Medina

As a new homeowner, I can finally get behind--even get excited about--events like the Home & Garden Market. Take one part State Fair Expo and one part Home Depot and add a splash of yard sale and you can get yourself drunk on the awesomeness that is the Home & Garden Market all weekend long. Grab your fair share of professional tips on remodeling, renovations and room additions, check out eco-friendly and affordable products, and meet people who can do stuff for you (should the need arise) from 2 to 8 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday at Dallas Market Hall, 2200 N. Stemmons Freeway. Admission is $9, free for children under 12 with special discounts available. Call 800-654-1480 or visit thehomeandgardenmarket.com.

Pocono Home & Garden news: The giving garden; tomato blight update ... - Pocono Record

Posted: 05 Sep 2009 12:28 PM PDT

Tammy Graeber noticed something was missing from the food pantry: fresh fruits and vegetables. So she decided to do something about it. She started the garden of giving and you can help.

How does your garden grow? Our Pocono gardeners give us an update.

Most likely, you're seeing late blight in tomatoes. Here's the latest about eating the affected tomatoes.

Think you're finished planting? Think again. It's time to get out and plant shrubs.

Did you know you can find real medicine in the plants of both the gardens and weeds of wayside places? Take some from the British hedgerows detailed in Yardsmart this week.

You don't always have to spend a lot of money to get gardening ideas. Sometimes a walk around a new neighborhood will do it.Our Home and Garden blog offers a tour in neighborhoods at the shore.

You might be turning your thoughts indoors. If remodeling is in your future, consider a cast-iron sink. Sound old-fashioned? No, just smart.

Winter will be here before you know it. Sorry, but it's true. It's time to think about attic insulation.

If you just want a new look, try painting a mirror. Your friends will think it looks like real mosaic tile, but this faux tile is easy and only costs pennies. Might be worth looking at a yard sale for a mirror this weekend.

Maybe cleaning is what you need. You can clean your whole house in just 10 minutes a day. OK, it might not be totally clean, but it will be much improved.

You can take it a few more steps and allergy-proof your house. Clean the air, clean the clutter and clean the cleaning room.

But we have a long weekend and here are some ideas for cool food. Garlic Lime Beef with Avocado Salsa can be served in a tortilla or over some greens for a main dish salad. And Buttermilk Garlic Slaw is sure to be a hit with any menu.

Take some time to relax and enjoy!

Jay-Z more than a rockstar at 9/11 concert - Associated Press

Posted: 11 Sep 2009 09:53 PM PDT

NEW YORK (AP) -- Jay-Z may be many things - a music and fashion mogul, nightclub owner, co-owner of the New Jersey Nets and Beyonce's husband - but more than anything, the entertainer is showing the world he's a proud New Yorker.

The 39-year-old performed to a sold out crowd at Madison Square Garden Friday night for his "Answer to Call" concert, which paid tribute to the police officers and firefighters who died on Sept. 11, 2001.

The Pledge of Allegiance kicked off the show, and Jay-Z followed with some New York anthems, including "Empire State of Mind," with Alicia Keys.

Others special guests included Beyonce, Kanye West, John Mayer, Diddy, Mary J. Blige and Rihanna, in her first performance since her February altercation with Chris Brown.

The concert aired on Fuse TV.
