Wow, do I feel stupid (and abused, insulted, etc...). Wish I had thought to come here to read some of the posts (eg, http://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Cards/Chase
In mid-2008, I transferred a large sum (less than $20k) to a new B of A card with a 1-yr 0% intro interest rate. Rate reset in mid-2009; I managed to pay off the balance in early 2010. Card has sat unused for at least 2 months with a 0 balance ($18k limit). Today I called to inquire about transferring a balance to see if they would deal with me; instead, the credit advisor asked several questions as if I were applying for a new account (yearly income, etc), and put me on hold. Came back and informed me that the account was closed and if I wanted I could fax proof of income to her and they would consider re-openning the account. I was/am absolutely stunned. When I asked her when the account had been closed, she informed me that she just closed it as a part of this credit review. Reason given was high utilization on other cards, overall debt and "minimum payments" on the B of A account (what I suppose this means is that I paid the minimum amount due while the card was at 0%).
I could really care less about doing business with B of A (especially after this); however, to lose a large account obviously effects my card utilization percentage. I worked very hard to get my total card utilization level below 50%, and now the cancellation of this account puts it back up over 70%. Not to mention that I feel the whole encounter was completely deceptive.
I have not called back yet, and have not faxed proof of income to B of A yet. I am feeling pretty stupid already for not letting sleeping dogs lie and just leaving the account sitting there, but that apparently is no longer an option. I'm trying to educate myself by reading posts & articles here, but would appreciate any advice on what to do regarding B of A. My knee-jerk reaction is to call back and see if they will let me close the account myself (I did not realize during the call that it would appear on my credit report as "closed by issuer," as described in the above-linked thread, as opposed to "closed by consumer"), but is this the wisest course? I don't really need the credit - I'm in a better place now than before so I don't use cards & am trying to pay off debt as fast as I can - but I am angry about the negative impact this seems like it will have on my credit rating (less credit available, higher card utilization & having a card cancelled). On the other hand, my initial reaction is that re-applying for the account is foolish as I don't intend to use the credit, unless it is to move a balance from a higher rate to a lower rate. Thanks in advance.
That's messed up! If you reapply, would it be a hard inquiry to try & reopen the account? As far as to reopen/not open the account, its a personal decision. Are you planning on a major purchase in the future (i.e., home or car) If no, I wouldn't worry about it. I know most of us on this thread tend to obsess over our FICO score. But if you don't necessarily need a higher FICO score for a major purchase, I would just let the account stay closed and work towards paying off my debt & work on getting that utilization lower and consequently increasing your FICO score over time anyway. Keep us posted on your decision.
But your BofA experience is precisely why I was afraid to xfer a balance to my AMEX, in fear it would generate an account review.
If you do not need any credit now, then it does not matter that your score dropped a bit due to utilization. You will still have a positive account on your reports for 10 years. Closed by issuer does not matter much. Forget about Chase, unless you will have a need for it.
These days, you should make sure the other cards you want to keep, get used regularly.

Final Score: Buffalo 3, Carolina 2
Buffalo, NY (Sports Network) - Ryan Miller made 27 saves and Thomas Vanek set
up two goals, helping the Buffalo Sabres to a 3-2 victory over the Carolina
Nathan Gerbe, Cody McCormick, and Drew Stafford scored for the Sabres, who
have won three of four.
Jeff Skinner scored in the final minute to get the Hurricanes within a goal,
but they couldn't net the equalizer and had their three-game win streak
Tuomo Ruutu also lit the lamp for Carolina, while Cam Ward stopped 32-of-35
"It's never an easy game when you come into Buffalo," Ward said. "They're a
solid team and tonight could have gone either way; we just came up short."
Buffalo got on the board with 5:22 left in the opening period, just after a
Carolina power play ended. Vanek followed the play into the Hurricanes' zone
and picked up the puck behind the goal line. He then passed to the slot for
Gerbe, who one-timed a shot by Ward.
But the Hurricanes took advantage of a power play shortly into the second
period to tie the game. From the right point, Eric Staal blasted a shot that
Ruutu tipped by Miller at 5:09.
The Sabres answered nearly seven minutes later, when McCormick stuffed in the
rebound of a Jordan Leopold shot from the point, and carried the 2-1 edge into
the second intermission.
Buffalo picked up the decisive goal 3:26 into the third while on the power
play. From the right boards, Vanek centered a trailing pass for Stafford, who
beat Ward with a high wrist shot.
The Sabres held the two-goal margin until Skinner buried his 15th goal of the
season with 32 seconds to play. Carolina continued to pressure, but Miller
held steady for his fourth win this month.
"We were smarter, we were more patient and we gained momentum as we went on,"
Sabres head coach Lindy Ruff said.
Game Notes
Thursday's contest was the first of four meetings this season. The teams split
the series in 2009-10...Both teams play again Saturday. Carolina hosts Tampa
Bay, while Buffalo visits the New York Islanders.

Soligenix Gets Key Thermovax Technology U.S. Patent 0 commentsMay 22, 2013 11:52 AM
Soligenix (OTCQB:SNGX) shares extended their year-to-date gains on Wednesday after the biopharmaceutical company announced that it has been granted a U.S. patent for its Thermovax vaccine thermostabilization technology.
The company, which is focused on developing products to treat inflammatory diseases and biodefense countermeasures, says the patent claims encompass composition of matter and methods for the technology, which is exclusively licensed to Soligenix by the University of Colorado.
For vaccines that are intended for long-term stockpiling, such as for use in biodefense or in pandemic situations, Soligenix has said that the use of ThermoVax, which has been tested in combination with the company's RiVax and VeloThrax vaccines, can lead to easier storage and the distribution of strategic national stockpile vaccines in emergency situations.
This is because the technology allows the production of thermostable vaccines that do not require storage at refrigerated temperatures.
The patent claims granted Wednesday describe methods of preparing an "immunologically-active adjuvant-bound", thermostable, freeze dried vaccine composition, in which the vaccine uses conventional adjuvants comprised of aluminum salts, the company said.
It added that aluminum salts are commonly used as adjuvants in many vaccines, including those administered to children.
ThermoVax was developed specifically to overcome the problems that are encountered with freeze-drying vaccines that contain aluminum adjuvants while simultaneously engineering them to withstand extremes of temperature.
"The granting of the thermostabilization patent is a significant milestone for the ThermoVax program and is a critical component in our commercialization strategy for vaccines that can avoid the increased costs and logistical burdens associated with cold chain storage and distribution," said president and CEO, Christopher J. Schaber, in the release Wednesday.
"We expect that the introduction of an effective technology for long-term stabilization of vaccines has the potential to be a major advance in the national effort to develop effective countermeasures and therapies for significant biothreats and emerging pathogens."
Schaber also said the company has initiated discussions with "a number" of vaccine companies and non-profit organizations regarding the potential for collaboration on heat-stable versions of their vaccine candidates.
Soligenix is also working to advance its biotherapeutics business, where it is set to start a phase 2 randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study of SGX942 - its lead compound - for oral mucositis in head and neck cancer patients in the second half of this year. In phase 1 trials, it was shown to reduce the severity and duration of oral mucositis and induce anti-inflammatory activity.
Shares of the company were trading at $1.21 early Wednesday, with its shares more than doubling year-to-date.

Download the full report, including details of confidence challenges, strategies, research methods, and the Vaccine Confidence Index.
On 26 March 2015, The Vaccine Confidence Project launched our first report on The State of Vaccine Confidence. This report reflects on the past decade of vaccine confidence episodes and lessons to be learned globally since the 2003-2004 northern Nigeria polio vaccination boycott. The release of the report also marks the start of a joint project between The Vaccine Confidence Project and Global Public Health Polling Network (Gallup International) to map the state of vaccine confidence globally. The results from the first five countries studied through this collaboration are presented in the report.
Five years ago, Margaret Chan, WHO's Director-General, may have surprised her Executive Board with what was probably an unexpected message: Reflecting upon a difficult year of managing risk and uncertainty around the H1N1 pandemic, with a less-than-cooperative public, she concluded, "The days when health officials could issue advice, based on the very best medical and scientific data and expected populations to comply, may be fading." She was right.
The report opens with a preface titled, "The Power of Belief," followed by an introductory chapter situating the state of vaccine confidence. Chapter 2 is an analysis of "Confidence challenges and Successes over the past Decade" which sets the stage for the third chapter "Measuring vaccine confidence: No single metric tells a story" which presents our Vaccine Confidence Index and the results of our five-country study, with a broader discussion on innovation around ways to measure confidence. Finally, we present conclusions and summarise strategic lessons.
In August 2003, when five states in northern Nigeria launched a boycott of polio vaccination, which Kano State sustained for eleven months, few could have imagined the long term global impacts and costs to the Global Polio Eradication Initiative. One of the key lessons is that medical science alone cannot achieve immunisation goals, social and political science is also needed.
It is clear that the twenty-first century will present – and already has presented – unprecedented challenges for health programmes including and beyond immunisation.
Yet we can also foresee new possibilities, built on a foundation of lessons learned, combined with the promise of a coming generation of new innovations to understand and engage publics.
Trust is built, brick by brick, from individual acts of goodwill. It requires genuine care for and accountability to the general public. The task that stands before public health leaders is to listen to their publics, hear their concerns, and take them seriously.
We hope the stories and analyses presented in the State of Vaccine Confidence report make a compelling case to never, never assume what is in the minds and emotions of people. And, never forget that they can change.

The police cannot protect the citizen at this stage of our development, and they cannot even protect themselves in many cases. It is up to the private citizen to protect himself and his family, and this is not only acceptable, but mandatory.

The truth about it as I see it, manufacturers build a product that has advantages and disadvantages based on their target market. People who want to haul plywood don't want a ford mustang, although a bit of inginuity a mustang can haul plywood, or a pickup can run ten second quarter miles.
The truth is that yes a glock is a good gun, and so are many others, people like or dislike them for their own reasons. Otherwise there wouldn't be other products.
People tend to think that their opinion is fact, based on personal experiance, not knowledge. When if a relativly inexpensive multy use product was leaps and bounds better than everything else, nothing else would exist.
I know my 2 cents don't mean too much as I'm not well known in this forum but I will admit to any of my customers that although I have a Glock on my hip everyday, I hate them. The only reason I have it on my hip is because I can't miss. same hole over and over and over again. It's scary how good of a shot I am with almost any Glock (Not including the NON SF .45's as I have the hand size of a 12 year old girl). However I bought a brand new G19 Gen 4 at work and "destroyed" it in 7 days to be exactly what I wanted. It's ugly, it's resale value is ruined, it has a 3-3.5 lb trigger on a carry gun. But it's mine. Molded to my hand and out shoots almost everything! I shrunk the grip, stippled the handle, did all my own trigger work, all my polishing, and put a new barrel in it. I'd run it in any competition against guns that are 3 times more expensive! So right after I tell the customers how much I don't like Glocks, I follow it with the statement "but I love mine..." I carry my 19 now more than my Kobra Carry. I Like the capacity difference.

What is the most reliable crack and cat face free tomato?
Somebody help me. A large portion of my garden was allocated to tomatoes that were not used in my household. My wife and kids like pretty tomatoes to the point they will not eat any tomato that is cracked no matter how good it tastes. I'm growing Juliet and they are practically indestructible. I'm looking for other indeterminate indestructible tomatoes for my garden.
I don't know the answer to your question, but my neighbor grows Better Boys and they are consistently both tasty and pretty fruit. With regard to cracking, I found the following on the Texas A&M site to explain why tomatoes crack:
"Q. What causes a tomato to crack? Is there anything I can do to prevent it?
A. Cracking is a physiological disorder caused by soil moisture fluctuations. When the tomato reaches the mature green stage and the water supply to the plant is reduced or cut off, the tomato will begin to ripen. At this time a cellophane-like wrapper around the outer surface of the tomato becomes thicker and more rigid to protect the tomato during and after harvest. If the water supply is restored after ripening begins, the plant will resume translocation of nutrients and moisture into the fruit. This will cause the fruit to enlarge; which in turn splits the wrapper around the fruit and results in cracking. The single best control for cracking is a constant and regular water supply. Apply a layer of organic mulch to the base of the plant. This serves as a buffer and prevents soil moisture fluctuation. Water plants thoroughly every week. This is especially important when the fruits are maturing. Some varieties are resistant to cracking, but their skin is tougher."
So you need to look for tougher skinned tomatoes, which I hate. I just can't stand that chewy, plasticky, skin.
Here is a link that might be useful: Texas A&M Tomato Q&A
Hi Thisisme
I used to live in Phoenix and I grew some very good tomatoes. They were on raised bed and with a shade cloth. My most successful tomato was Costoluto Genovese, a big red delicious beefsteak that when grows in dry weather like there is perfect. And I know what are you saying about Juliet, any thick skin tomato will keep the shape. I also grew Taxi, Nepal that had pretty ruffled tomatoes larger than cherry but a little bit on the acid side so your family might not like it.:) Any currant tomato will grow there but you can not make a meal out of them. I grew a lot of different cherries, Pol Robeson Angolan did well too
Here in Florida I always try to grow Estiva and is always the earliest and the prettiest.
It is the 2 red tomatoes on top of the picture.
And one that everyone like it is the Tomato Berry, has a long shelf life as a plus.
this is me, what kind of splitting are you referring to?
The TExas answer discussed only what's called horizontal splitting which can occur anywhere on a fruit, but there are still varieties that have what's called radial and/or concentric splitting at the stem end and it's normal, has a genetic component and usually the scars heal over and all is well.
So is it splits along the sides of the fruits, and all varieties are susceptible to that, whether hybrids or OP's, or is it radial or concentric splitting at the stem end which most often appears with OP varieties, mostly heirloom varieteies.
Sounds like your real goal should be re-educating the family. :) If all they are interested in is the perfect round red non-marred tomato then the store-bought plastic ones are for them. Why waste time growing tomatoes for them?
On the other hand if they want real tomatoes like most of us do, then they have to accept that cracks and splits and catfacing happen no matter what variety you grow, causes no harm at all, will not make them ill much less kill them, and give each of them each a sharp paring knife as a gift.
Whenever I have to serve a catfaced tomato to people who freak out at the appearance, I simply cut off that portion so it is not visible. Easy solution; the texture is good(no hardened skins, bumpiness, etc), the taste of course is the same--win/win situation for all.
What they can't see, they forget about. I will tease them about it later, after its all eaten. Teach them a lesson: you can't judge taste from appearances.

were universally buffed??
This is just a thought that I had that I decided to run with. The exact values aren't so important (they could be tweaked), but I feel that these changes could potentially shake the game up a lot and open up much more strategic diversity from game to game.
---- Combine flash and ghost.
-- Flash up to 400 units on cast and receive a 3 second 25% movement speed buff.
3 minute cooldown
Both flash and ghost serve a similar function in allowing you to reposition yourself faster than you could otherwise. Unless flash is nerfed completely into the ground, and as long as it serves a similar function to ghost, it will continue to be a superior choice for most characters (there are exceptions).
Now you'd no longer have to choose between both. This would become an incredibly powerful repositioning skill (not that flash isn't already) while offering no actual combat stats.
---- Combine heal and cleanse.
-- Heal 30% of your max HP and cleanse on cast and receive a 3 second 65% crowd control duration reduction buff.
3 minute cooldown
They both serve a similar function in trying to keep you alive. The dual function of the skill may require some decision making. Suppose you get hit by an ashe arrow while at full HP. You can cleanse out and waste the heal. Or if you're taking a lot of damage but aren't CCd, you can use the heal but waste the cleanse. Or if you're stunned but still at full HP and about to get dog piled on by the enemy, you can cleanse right away to avoid the initiation, or wait to try and bait them into wasting their cooldowns on you.
I can see a change like this helping out characters like master yi by giving them the ability to survive the damage and CC in melee.
---- Combine revive and teleport.
-- Teleport on cast and if used while dead, revive you with 50% HP and 50% MP then teleport. (No health buff or movement speed buff)
6 minute cooldown.
I could see teams running 5 teleport/revives just to have the flexibility of being able to push and defend any point they want or jump back into a fight where they got wiped. But if you decide to teleport to a spot to push, you lose the ability to jump back into a fight after getting killed (thereby giving up a lot of combat strength). And if you get killed and revive, you can no longer telepush for the next 6 minutes.
Teams could pull off lots of counterganks as well with this. Bot lane overextends and gets ganked. Both laners revive and teleport back to the lane and finish off the gankers.
---- Combine smite and promote.
-- Smite on cast and if it kills a minion (as in, not a jungle creep), spawn a super version of it (though not as strong as the current promote minion, but stronger nonetheless).
1 minute cooldown
Smite is something that only sees use with junglers. Combining it with promote may encourage push strategies in lane.
It will also perhaps make who the jungler is in a game more ambiguous. If every single player takes this, you wouldn't know exactly who the jungler is going to be on the load screen (especially if you have multiple ambiguous characters such as nunu, shen, etc.) It also makes it possible to have teams switch their lanes and junglers around throughout the game, rather than have a dedicated 24/7 jungler.
Teams may even run 5x smites just for complete dragon and buff control while not completely gimping their laning abilities. Or maybe some teams will stop running a dedicated jungler and run a 3 man lane or a second 2 man lane (where one or more characters may periodically leave the lane to take jungle creeps / ward their own jungle to maintain vision and control)
---- Combine ignite and exhaust.
-- Ignite and exhaust on cast. The damage over time, healing debuff, movement speed debuff, and damage debuff linger for 3 seconds. Make it castable on minions where the damage becomes instantaneous and then the monster suffers the same debuffs (DoT included).
3 minute cooldown
The reason for combining them is for complete combat supremacy. Both are already used in similar situations. Ignite can be used to secure a kill in the same way the slow from exhaust can secure a kill. Or the damage from ignite or the debuff from exhaust can help counter a gank.
Perhaps then you'd no longer see junglers exclusively using smite. Maybe they'll taking this ignite / exhaust to have stronger ganks and a more flexible summoner, at the cost of having a lower damage and longer cooldown smite. Additionally, if there is a fight over baron, teams could decide whether to use their ignite / exhaust to help secure baron, or to save it for the actual team fight.
---- Garrison
-- Bring it to summoner's rift and make it regenerate turret HP similar to how it works in Dominion. If cast on a friendly turret, make it give the tower splash damage instead of increased attack speed, and if cast on an enemy turret, have it nerf the turret's damage. The buff could last 6 seconds. If an ally casts it on a tower, then an enemy casts it on the same tower, the enemy's would override it, similar to how it works in Dominion.
3 minute cooldown.
This might enable teams to pull out victories with smart defense, while also letting teams go for aggressive tower dives.
---- Clairvoyance
-- Make it reveal an area for 6 seconds as it currently does, but also apply a debuff to targets scouted with it that gives vision of the unit (including wards but not invisible champions) for 6 seconds, similar to how nidalee's bushwhack worked previously.
1 minute cooldown
This will allow teams to counter ward without pinks / oracles, or follow a player's motion more carefully.
---- Clarity
-- Turn it into a blue buff of sorts. Make it have a passive effect equal to 25% of what the blue buff does currently, that when activated, grants an aura that is the actual strength of the blue buff for 15 seconds. Should stack with the blue buff.
3 minute cooldown.
This may allow players to run very mana heavy harass / zoning lane comps while also still offering actual combat utility in the form of 20% cooldown reduction on activation for the team.
---- Surge
-- Turn this into targettable buff, a la Lulu's wild growth that when cast, knocks up all enemies within a certain range and then grants the target 25% movement speed and attack speed for 6 seconds.
3 minute cooldown
This would be a great support skill for protecting an ally while also making them stronger. It can also serve as an initiation (ie. Shyvana jumps into enemy, gets surged)
(Sorry if this thread is a double post. Something seems to have gone wrong when I posted this the first time.)
I Call ADC Bot
Terrible. Just terrible...
Junior Member
Regardless, I think summoner spells need some tweaking. Having flash and ignite as the all time most popular spells gets a little old after a while..
(Use the box to select Spell Popularity)
Senior Member
The diversity is already there in the summoner spell selection - that is practically a metagame in itself. But it is not an area that gets touched a lot until you get to the higher levels of gameplay.
Also, if you think about it, most of the summoner spells do help more than yourself, so in team fights, they are essentially global anyway.

BRASS Mission Statement
Brass is dedicated to the promotion and advancement of recreational and competitive rowing, with the focus toward education and camaraderie of the sport.
Welcome to BRASS
The Berkshire Rowing and Sculling Society (BRASS), is dedicated to teach rowing in single sculls and crew boats for pleasure and competition. Since 1995, we have helped hundreds of people discover their ability to move a shell through the water. Initially known as the Berkshire Sculling Association, we taught people how to row in single shells on the Stockbridge Bowl. As the popularity of rowing grew, our teaching expanded to include scholastic teams, and the need for a boathouse became apparent. In late fall of 2000, a city owned building became available at Burbank Park on Onota Lake in Pittsfield. The association subsequently applied and gained approval for developing a community rowing program from the Pittsfield Park Commission and City Council. After a successful fund drive, the building was converted into a boathouse and shells and equipment purchased.

Yoga apparel retailer Lululemon has stepped it in again, and this time even they're calling their bluff.
Numerous consumers said they were contacted by Lululemon representatives by phone after trying to sell used Lululemon clothes on eBay, with the embattled retailer going as far as to shut out some of those customers from their Lululemon e-commerce accounts.
And for some reason, it's not surprising as the company has had one PR debacle after another in what has been a roller-coaster year for the Canadian brand. It all seemed to go downhill after Lululemon recalled thousands of pairs of its most popular yoga pants for being too sheer last spring. The incident, which is reportedly still causing issues for some customers, opened up the floodgates to poor consumer relations, from excluding and offending plus-size consumers, bashing unrelated philanthropy efforts, nonsensical window displays and continual gaffes from eccentric founder Chip Wilson.
Lululemon issued an apology for the threat after inquiries from the media once again shined an unfavorable light on the brand.Continue reading...

Posted by Mark J. Miller on February 14, 2014 10:33 AM
Hundreds of thousands of mobile gamers have spent the last few weeks staring at their screens trying to maneuver a flapping bird through various obstacles. It turns out that their obsession with the free game "Flappy Bird" is what ended up killing the viral hit.
Vietnamese developer Dong Nguyen gifted his game to the world but decided earlier this week that it had to come down based on its addictive qualities. "I just wanted to create a game that people could enjoy for a few minutes," he told the Wall Street Journal. And so on Sunday, the free app was pulled from the App Store and Android market to the dismay of late bloomers hoping to get a few plays out of the simplistic video game.
But just because Flappy Bird isn't available for download anymore doesn't mean there's no way to access it. In the days since it was pulled from the market, tablets and smartphones containing Flappy Bird have appeared for sale on Amazon and eBay—for a pretty price, of course. An iPad Mini with Flappy Bird was going for more than $10,000 while and iPhone 5S with the app was priced at over $1,000.
eBay, though, was not amused, as the sale of such mobile devices is against its policy. Mobile devices can only be sold on the site once they are reset to factory settings—aka no Flappy Bird.Continue reading...

Hank Williams Sonoma. Cinnabon Iver. Bananarama republic. For a brief period last week many on Twitter wondered what the nationally trending hashtag #400BarAtTheMall was all about.
The hashtag's "400 Bar" is the iconic Minneapolis bar and music venue that closed its doors at the end of 2012. And "The Mall" is the same city's iconic-in-a-different-way Mall of America.

Cinnabon Jovi #400BarAtTheMall
Coming later this year, the 400 Bar, as first reported in the Minneapolis / St. Paul Business Journal, will relocate to the nearby Mall of America as a 25,000-square-foot concert venue, museum and restaurant. The announcement marrying the antiseptic Mall of America with one of Minneapolis' most historic, gritty music venues may have caused confusion for many who remember the old 400 Bar at the bohemian corner of Cedar Ave. and South 4th.Continue reading...

Alibaba is coming to America, launching a new e-commerce site through two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Vendio and Auctiva.
Called 11 Main, the potential Amazon killer is a "shopping destination where hand-picked shop owners connect with customers in a stylish and professionally merchandised marketplace." Featured items include personal tech devices, jewelry and fashion goods.
Alibaba is the largest e-commerce operator in China and transacts through wildly popular Chinese sites Taobao and TMall, but reaching beyond its national borders has been a challenge. Vendio and Auctiva were acquired by Alibaba in 2010 and are established e-tail experts having helped many companies sell their products on Amazon and eBay.
11 Main will ideally go head-to-head with Amazon and eBay's new e-commerce concept, "The Plaza."Continue reading...

The world's largest retailer has a few tricks up its sleeve that it hopes will catapult it ahead of arch-rival Amazon in the hotly contested e-commerce space.
In Denver, Co., Walmart To Go, the retailer's on-demand shopping service, allows shoppers to order just about any merchandise they want online, including groceries, and have it delivered to their homes, just like Amazon. But now, Walmart To Go not only includes home delivery of grocery items—it also has a pick-up option. That means Denver consumers can order their groceries online, park in a designated space near their closest store, and pick up their groceries without ever stepping into the store.
Walmart has tested home delivery of groceries in San Francisco and San Jose, Calif. since 2011, while Amazon has been testing "Amazon Fresh," a grocery home delivery service, in select cities with plans for more in 2014.
With in-store pick-up, Walmart is allowing consumers to exercise more options. "It's all about choice," Ravi Jariwala, Director of Public Relations at Walmart, told TechCrunch. "At this point, we're really trying to assess what our customers are gravitating toward, and the good news is that I don't think this is an either/or [situation]."Continue reading...

eBay is reportedly boosting its e-commerce reputation by going from resale hotspot to direct-to-consumer trusted e-tailer. According to a report from Macquarie analyst Ben Schachter, eBay is planning on opening "The Plaza," an online mall that will allow major brands to sell their goods directly to consumers.
Schachter said brands can now sell through eBay "'without having to worry about weakening their brand' by placements alongside second-hand goods," the Wall Street Journal reports.
eBay's pivot to direct-to-consumer sales dramatically expands its retail hub in an offensive move against Amazon and Chinese e-commerce powerhouses, including Alibaba's Tmall, which has 70,000 digital storefronts from brands including Apple, Nike and Gap, Alibaba-owned Taobao and Tencent.
While the e-commerce site has yet to confirm the reports, eBay spokesman Ryan Moore told CNET, "EBay partners with brands, designers and retailers—and sellers of all sizes—to help them grow their business. As such, we are always exploring new, innovative ways to help them market directly to eBay's global audience and connect them to the things they need and love."Continue reading...

Help! Bermuda Grass taking over
I am actually posting for some friends who I am going to help on Tuesday weed their garden. They have all the right stuff down, the weed guard, the mulch, the rocks around the bed...but the bermuda grass wont stay out! I am going there Tuesday to yank it, but I was hoping someone could give me some tips as to how to keep it away!!! It is hard for my friends to get out and weed even on a weekly basis as they have triplet toddlers who keep them very busy! Any suggestions would be awesome. Any do I need to know anything special when I pull the stuff? I dont have it where I am, 2 towns over, so I dont have any experience with it, thank goodness!
I have bermuda, though I grow it on purpose because it doesn't require water in the summer and it stands up to my three dogs.
There isn't any way I know of to keep it out, it's more of a maintenance issue. If I want to keep it at bay I have to go out at least once a week and pull.
If you use a straight edge shovel and go around the edge of the beds it usually pulls up a little easier. The weed guard, if you're talking about the mesh stuff, makes it harder to get out.
Good luck.
To kill bermuda grass in a garden....use "Grass-B-Gone". I have a golf course in the back yard that is all bermuda and has slowly been taking over my lawn. I ignore it mostly but when it starting growing in my rose gardens it was time to do something. It took several applications but I finally won. And didn't bother the roses one bit. Just be sure you get "Grass-B-Gone" and nothing else.
The weed fabric just makes it worse because the runners get in under it and by the time you realize it's there, it's in there good. Weed fabric is really only sort of effective against weed seeds that drift in, not stuff with runners.
You definitely want to minimize the edges on bermuda (and other creepers). Having a lot of islands within the bermuda only increases the amount of work you have to do. Everywhere bermuda meets mulch, that's a place you'll have to weed.
Try googling a product called Ornamec. It is supposedly a weed killer that can be sprayed around a long list of other plants and it won't hurt them but can kill bermuda grass. You have to apply it a total of three times-early spring when it starts growing, mid summer when it is growing, and then in the fall when it is storing nutrients for next year. If you can once eradicate it from your beds, making deep trenches along the edges of the beds and religiously keeping it free of the runners can go a long way of keeping it out of your beds. Oh yeah, don't blow any grass clippings towards the beds or you can transfer more seeds into them.
If you use a string trimmer, any piece of Bermuda grass that gets flipped into your garden will root there.
So says Paul James, the Gardner Guy. He says barriers have to be deep and high to stop Bermuda grass.
Despite these problems, he loves Bermuda. I HATE it.
Are you talking about "bermuda grass" that people purposely plant that looks great on golf courses or are you talking about the grass I refer to as "WIRE GRASS" which is a weed and is sometimes refered to as bermuda grass. I assume Paul James would not plant "wire grass" nor anyone else for that matter.
Wire grass is another story all together. Some of the above threads seem to be talking about the true purposely planted bermuda grass and others the weed "wire grass. (never could understand why they have the same name.) At any rate, the weed is very difficult to get under control and pulling is the first of many long steps. I have the same problem from a fill dirt I purchased. The wire grass takes over before you can sneeze at it. Round Up or the Grass B Gone is as good as any but it will take several times to be effective and a lot of pulling each time you see a new blade. Good luck. By the way, you are a saint to help your friends with such a labor task. Lots of elbow grease needed.
The bermuda I am talking about was purposely planted by evil developers when my house was built. This is not the pretty bermuda you see on golf courses, at least not when it's grown on the sandy soil we happen to have. I admit it does at least have a better color where it invades my amended beds, but give me a grass that stays put, even if it has to be reseeded ever year.
Now my neighbor's zoysia is lovely, but they paid a lot for it and it took years to overcome the crappy bermuda it replaced.
Hey y'all thanks for the input! I started this morning at 8AM and worked till 11:30, then it got too hot. I got about 2/3 of it done. IF ONLY I HAD KNOWN....Oh my goodness. I need to go back and finish. One question. They left for 1 week today for vaca so they will not even see how incredible this garden looks if it grows back as fast as everyone says. Is that the truth???? Gosh, I sure hope they get to see the results before it grows back.
I was referring to common bermudagrass (wire grass). It's the species and the fancy golf course kinds are hybrids of that same species. It's only redeeming quality is that it's drought resistant. Most centipede lawns in my area are looking pretty stressed.
Yes, it's the devil. But it's what's mostly growing in my yard and I'm not starting all over.
Ncgardner, I haven't used either. Luckily I don't have bermuda grass or wire grass. My mom does have bermuda grass, the developer sodded the entire neighborhood off of Rea Road in Charlotte with it. God knows why. I was researching something to use in her beds if the stuff got out of hand a while back and came across info about Ornamec. Luckily, I get down to her home in Charlotte frequently enough to keep it out of the beds so that I have not had to consider using it--- YET!!!!
It's the rooted rhyzomes(?) that grow under the fabric and the ends which will sprout the grass leaves are sharply pointed to pierce soil and mulch to get above ground. It gets through black plastic like butter but takes a bit longer to get through fresh fabric. In time, it will pierce the fabric.
Wild bermuda you have to dig very deeply to get out and because it is segmented, if you leave any small portion with rootlets, will regrow.
I had to fine sift out all my veg. garden soil to get rid of it. Believe me, that was the most arduous job but necessary because I'd mistakenly rototilled young bermuda into the soil one year thinking burying it would kill it.
The easiest to pull is young plants that sprout from last years seed(ha..could be seed from years ago brought to the surface by tilling).
Ultimately, I moved..no joke ..and no one is allowed on my lawn with golf shoes on since the golf course is primarily all kinds of bermuda.
Wow! I was hoping I might get some advice other than moving house!
Just moved to SC from England (we love our green lawns) and coming to terms with the amount of aggressive plants growing in my new garden. I've been attacking what must be the 'wire' bermuda and it's tough stuff.
My thinking is that pulling at the stems is pointless as they just snap off and leave the roots. You have to dig down and get your fingers right into the roots and tease the whole lot out. It's gonna take some work though. In the meantime I'll rake the lawn with a hard-tooth rake as often as I can to pull up all the runners which will at least be cut off when I mow it. And I've dug it out firstly around the borders and the walls of the house (where it thrives), covering over with several inches of pine needles after, this way it'll have nowhere to retreat... I hate it already!
Hi busy b,
I have a whole lawn of common bermudagrass (no choice, long story) and can give you all the horror stories. :) I'm finally resigning myself to the fact that a lawn in my part of North Carolina will never be like the Kentucky bluegrass that I grew up with or the tall fescue lawn we had in Pennsylvania. But I LOVE gardening in North Carolina.
You're right in that simply pulling it will make a dent. You have to get every little piece with a node on it. The roots and stolons can be VERY deep in the soil. I've had to clear out beds and start over again killing bermudagrass when I've been too impatient to wait and see that it was all killed before I planted. It's impossible to disentangle it from perennial, shrub or tree roots. I created many of my beds by layering newspaper/cardboard over the grass for a few weeks to kill the grass, but bermudagrass will grow right up through it.
I think you're on the right track by keeping it away from the borders. I try to leave a foot or so around each bed border without plantings so I have some leeway and a chance to get all the stolons out before it creeps into herbaceous plant roots. I have sandy soil, but in sturdier soil, you can dig a little trench around the bed border to separate lawn from the bed and it helps you to see what's happening with the invasive grass.
If you're not adverse to using Roundup, it works well. I've had to resort to that in some places.
Hope this helps!
You might win the battle but not the war. Though Bermuda Grass gets a lot of 'hate' from gardeners, it is no worse than a whole lot of turf grasses. It has its good points and bad. Personally I hate it for a completely different reason - it is known to harbor a fungus that lives on the stolons and in the thatch. Some people are allergic to that fungus, I am one of them. Mowing it or being nearby when anyone is mowing it sends my allergies into overdrive. I can sense it in the air when a neighbor down the street is mowing. Where I live now I am lucky that the lawn is mostly Centipede Grass which is just as aggressive as Bermuda but it stays so short it rarely needs mowing and it doesn't seem to harbor the fungus.
If you dig a ten inch to one foot trench around the front of all your flower beds and fill it with fluffy mulch or compost you will be able to keep the creeping weeds and turf grasses under control. The fluffy layer allows for easy pulling. BUT - you have to pull weeds almost every night in the summer. If you miss a week or so you'll be behind and the grass will win over the flowerbed.
Yeah, I moved and not fighting the wiregrass but fighting the Poa annua grass and the lawn crew who persistently blow grass trimmings back into my border gardens (no matter how many times I explain why not to)
But, anything is better than wild bermuda imbedded into chunks of solid red clay deep underground.
Welcome to busy b.. everything right now is gloriously green until you look and see how much is weed grass and how little might be sod grass.
That poa annua is a small clump..about 2inches wide and maybe 2inches tall but sets about a hundred or more seeds in late winter early fall. In SC it's probably mature enough to shed the seeds. I'm on the border of NC/SC and what remains of the poa annua is just trying now to develop the seeds. One of those pull by hand weeds.
Farewell to our wonderful gardener Miguel, nckvilledudes, who posted with much wise advice to this and many other threads. Miguel..we shall miss you greatly and hope in this 'move' you shall find only pretty flowers and sweet scents and no darn wiregrass.

Fear of Death Makes People Into Believers (of Science) 434

We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Hmm... I guess that means we just haven't been alarmist enough about global warming to bring the deniers over to the science side yet.
I think first you must prove the universe was created. That's going to be a nigh impossible task.
Actually, it's not and there's some data from gravity wave experiments to indicate that our universe cheats below the atomic scale but way before the Plank length, which may indicate that it's a simulation. The shape of that noise closely matches a simulated universe model where 3d space is a projection from a quantized spherical shell.
The first question I always ask theists is if their God must be omnipotent in every universe. Our universe could be run by a pimply-faced youth in a high school science class, and he may be omnipotent in our universe but a 98-pound weakling in his. Adolescence may adequately explain his questionable behavior as recorded in the Old Testament.
To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so.
