Small hydro power plants are mushrooming in the country with one plant coming up every week in the past seven years.
Though such small hydro power (SHP) plants are touted as 'green energy' by the Government, they are being constructed without environmental safeguards which is exerting a negative impact on the environment as in Uttarakhand where they could result in rivers like Bhagirathi and Alaknanda being restricted to tunnels or reservoirs for about 70 per cent of their length. This was revealed in a report released by the Centre for Science and Environment at a conference on green norms for small hydro power in Dehradun on Friday.
The CSE report titled Green Norms for Green Energy: Small Hydro Power revealed that in the last seven years, 366 SHP plants worth 1,600 MW have been installed in the country which amounts to one SHP plant every week. There are more than 300 projects under various stages of implementation with a capacity 1,250 MW.
Analysing the hydro power projects in Uttarakhand, the report states that the State has a SHP potential of 1,710 MW. The report says that there are 70 hydro projects under various stages of development on the Bhagirathi and Alaknanda basins in Uttarakhand. Out of these, 40 (worth 180 MW) fall under the small hydro category.
Together, these projects could 'affect' about 70 per cent of the length of two rivers. This means that for 70 per cent of its length, the river will either flow through a tunnel or be impounded as a reservoir.
CSE deputy director general Chandra Bhushan said, "We are looking at deforestation done to construct project facilities such as roads, power houses and transmission lines, increased soil erosion, disruption of local fauna and flora and disturbance of mountain slopes. The SHP plants can leave long stretches of a river dry and affect fish and other aquatic populations adversely."
Based on energy and tariff analysis, CSE has recommended 'ecological flow' norms for all hydropower projects, including SHP in Uttarakhand. "Our analysis shows that it is economically viable to have uninterrupted ecological flow of 30 per cent during monsoons and 50 per cent during lean season. This will allow our rivers to flow as well as allow sustainable development of SHP," said Bhushan.
CSE report has also found that the SHP projects are not even adhering to the minimum environmental norms as many project developers do not even obtain a 'consent to establish/consent to operate' from the State Pollution Control Board. The regulations for muck disposal and afforestation are never followed.
Columnist and environmentalist Bharat Jhunjhunwala stressed on the need to lower energy consumption, examine sustainability of SHP and fragmentation of habitats. SHP (UJVNL) general manager Arvind Kumar said that issue of ecological flow is a governance problem and a monitoring agency is needed to monitor this issue.

Anti-wind residents want Shumlin helpSeptember 07,2013THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEWARK Residents in the Vermont town of Newark are asking Gov. Peter Shumlin to appeal a state ruling that would allow a developer to erect test towers to monitor wind speeds in the area.
Seneca Mountain wants to erect the test towers, with the goal of building about 35 turbines in Newark, Brighton and Ferdinand.
The Vermont Public Service Board approved the nearly 200-foot test towers, one in Newark, two in Brighton and one in Ferdinand.
Two citizen groups, Newark Neighbors United and Brighton Ridge Protectors, sent a letter this week to Shumlins office asking him to help fight the boards ruling.
The governors office has not commented yet on the letter.MORE IN This Just InVermont hazardous-materials team members were at the Asa Bloomer state office building in... Full StoryHoliday Festival Full StorySpeed blamed Full Story

Long-Term Care Insurance:
Better Controls Needed to Protect Consumers
T-HRD-92-31: Published: May 20, 1992. Publicly Released: May 20, 1992.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
GAO discussed long-term care insurance policies and the standards developed by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) that govern them. GAO noted that: (1) consumers purchasing long-term care insurance are still vulnerable to considerable risks, because many states have not adopted minimum NAIC regulatory standards and some NAIC standards fail to sufficiently address long-term care insurance features that have important consequences for consumers; (2) although insurance companies adopted NAIC standards more quickly than did states, most policies reviewed did not meet more recent NAIC standards, particularly standards regarding disclosure and inflation; (3) although some insurance companies do little to prevent the sale of long-term care insurance to low-income people, long-term care insurance is expensive and generally not appropriate for people with limited financial resources and Medicaid will pay for care for those people covered. GAO believes that in addition to the current NAIC standards, new standards need to be developed that: (1) promote uniform terminology and definitions for eligibility criteria, long-term care services, and long-term care facilities; (2) address the relevance of eligibility criteria for different types of impairments, and establish formal grievance procedures; and (3) protect consumers against forfeiture of their investments in premiums if their policies lapse, options for policy upgrading, and a structure for agents' sales commissions.

text: OverviewBack to top of page Linnet Biopharmaceuticals - Rutaesomn Sleep Aid 100 mg. - 30 Capsules Code#:122199 Manufacturer:Linnet Biopharmaceuticals Size/Form:30 Capsules Packaged Ship Weight:0.10 Servings:30 Dosage Size:1 Capsule(s) Linnet Biopharmaceuticals Rutaesomn Sleep Aid 100 mg - 30 Capsules Linnet Biopharmaceuticals Rutaesomn allows you to maintain your normal daily caffeine usage, but when bedtime arrives your body will have significantly reduced caffeine levels. Linnet Biopharmaceuticals Rutaesomn allows the caffeine you consume to keep you active when you need it, and simply speeds up your body's natural process in eliminating caffeine before bed. Rather than stopping the use of caffeine, our customers will experience reduced levels of caffeine when they need to sleep, and still enjoy its benefits during the day. Linnet Biopharmaceuticals Rutaesomn allows you to enjoy a natural sleep, unaffected by caffeine.70% of people suffering from lack of sleep don't seek help. Linnet Biopharmaceuticals Rutaesomn is safe and non-habit forming. Linnet Biopharmaceuticals Rutaesomn addresses the cause of the lack of sleep. According to Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database, from the same makers of Pharmacist's Letter, the active ingredient in Linnet Biopharmaceuticals Rutaesomn has had no reported adverse reactions Linnet Biopharmaceuticals Rutaesomn is made in compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practices, as outlined by the FDA. Not all dietary supplements can claim this. How Does Rutaesomn Work? The family of pharmacists that created Rutaesomn teamed up with professors and researchers at their alma mater, University of the Pacific Thomas J. Long School of Pharmacy. They spent 2 years of laboratory research as well as an exhaustive review of existing studies on rutaecarpine and its effects. If you find a study, chances are they have seen it too and included it in their decision-making process. Based on FDA conversion dosing recommendations, Rutaesomn was created at a purity and dose that speeds up the activity of the enzyme that breaks down caffeine in your body. The best way to see if Rutaesomn really works is to get some for yourself and have that caffeine-free, restful sleep that you've been missing out on. Then while you're drinking your afternoon coffee with your friends you can tell them how great your sleep has been lately. Frequently Asked Questions About Rutaesomn How Fast Does the Body Normally Metabolize Caffeine?10-12 hours after consuming just two cups of coffee the average person will still have 1/4 of the amount of caffeine still in their system. For you sciencey folks; caffeine's t1/2 is approximately 5-6 hours. Rutaesomn taken 2-4 hours before bedtime drastically speeds up this process, eliminating the caffeine. When caffeine is metabolized it is broken down into three main compounds that are then further metabolized and then excreted in the urine. None of these compounds show the strong stimulant effects that caffeine does. Increasing the body's speed in breaking down caffeine would therefore not increase the stimulant effects of caffeine and would in fact reduce the stimulant effects of caffeine. Can't I Just Cut Back on My Espresso?Yes! If you are consuming a larger amount of caffeine than you want to there is always the option of reducing your intake. However, caffeine sticks around in your body for a long time! So long, that for someone that consumes only 2 large cups of coffee in the morning approximately 1/2 of a cup of coffee may still be in their body at night. There are some studies showing health benefits of coffee; such as reducing prostate cancer occurrence. Also, for many people, caffeine is now a part of our lifestyle. The effects of caffeine are essential for the productivity of many night shift doctors, pilots, truck drivers, and business people. Can I Still Drink My Coffee the Nexr Morning?Yes. Rutaesomn simply kicks the caffeine out of your system before bedtime. Can Anyone Take Rutaesomn?Please consult your healthcare provider if you are any of the following: Pregnant - As Pharmacists that care about patients; It is not recommended that any pregnant women taking any herbal supplements or medications (including Rutaesomn) unless you first speak to your healthcare provider. Child - Like most herbal supplements, Rutaesomn is not reccomeded for persons under the age of 18 Are There Any Known Drug Interactions?Major interactions, Rutaesomn is not recommended if you are taking the following: Theophylline Warfarin or other anticoagulants Rutaesomn may also reduce the effectiveness of certain classes of drugs such as some anti-hypertensives and antipsychotics. Pharmacists strongly encourage you to check with your healthcare provider before taking any herbal supplement. Rutaesomn can be taken with other sleep aids About Linnet Biopharmaceuticals Linnet Biopharmaceuticals Inc. is a family owned business operated by Pharmacists in Redding, California. Their cutting edge research has yielded products that are breaking new grounds in the market. Producing a quality product is backed by over thirty years of healthcare experience including: consulting, hospice, hospital and critical care, retail, research and management. Over that time they continued to encounter patients looking for solutions to their sleep problems. They would go through the steps of sleep hygiene and finally arrive at the source of the patients' problem; caffeine. After two years of research with professors at University of the Pacific (they have fancy PhD's and PharmD's too) Linnet created Rutaesomn. Why do pharmacists always have to pick the words that are hard to pronounce? For those that want to be in the cool crowd here's how to pronounce Rutaesomn: Root-tuh-somn. Now Linnet spends their days spreading the word about Rutaesomn. They have lots of fun hearing back from buyers, customers, and even doctors about how well Rutaesomn worked for them. It is very satisfying to know that they not only have developed a completely new product, but one that works so well!

Simulations show that the Oort cloud contains eight billion asteroids (in addition to hundreds of billions of comets). Do these asteroids pose a threat to Earth?
The Giant Impact Hypothesis is the most widely accepted theory for the creation of the Moon; the authors here investigate possible configurations of the early Solar System to produce the right conditions for impact between Earth and the doomed proto-planet Theia.
A new hypothesis posits that the ice giant planets formed between the CO and N2 icelines in the Solar System's protoplanetary disk.
A new model explains Mercury's major density with magnetism.
Heat from the proto-Earth may have caused the difference in the Moon's far- and near-side crust thicknesses.
This paper uses Cassini's infrared eyes to watch the Sun appear to pass behind Titan and light up its atmosphere. From these observations, the authors model different components of the thick atmosphere, and gain new insights about how exoplanets with similar hazy atmospheres might look.
From examining extrasolar planetary systems, we can test if the Titius-Bode "law" is actually a law.
For the first time ever, signatures from a newly formed moon are spotted in Saturn's ring system.
Planets in the Solar System with a higher mass spin faster than lower-mass planets. But what about planets in other systems? The authors of this paper make the first measurement of an exoplanet's spin to compare its spin and mass to Solar System planets.

Comic books play with your head. Just when you think you've got things sussed, they go and turn things upside down. Take X-Men Legends II: Rise Of The Apocalypse - in the previous game, the X-Men and the Brotherhood hated each other's toxic guts, but now the two mutant factions have decided to work together to defeat the despised megalomaniac Apocalypse.
The action is much the same as before, with you controlling a party of four superheroes and villains from a top-down perspective. The twist is the combination of former enemies you choose from to make up your group: 16 in total, including old favourites Wolverine, Magneto and Professor Xavier, with three secret characters to unlock at the end.
Rise Of The Apocalypse has obviously been designed with multiple players in mind, on and offline, but the single-player mode is not to be sniffed at. Computer-controlled characters can all have attributes and skills altered to suit defensive or attacking styles of play, and the number-fiddling is extended into role-playing territory to allow each team-member to be levelled up. Characters can be quickly cycled through with the D-pad, and a quick squeeze of the shoulder buttons unleashes, say, Cyclops' power beam or Storm's lightning attack. Combos are plentiful, and certain obstacles require a certain ability to overcome them, adding that bit more depth to proceedings.
Rise Of The Apocalypse shows great attention to detail, with genuinely exciting gameplay. Even for an occasional Marvel fan, this is more than worthy of your time.
After the recent raft of superhero dross, this carries on X-Men Legends' good work of late. The best Marvel game about at the moment.

A Grand Day Out (full name A Grand Day Out with Wallace and Gromit) is a 1990 British stop motion animated short film directed and animated by Nick Park at Aardman Animations in Bristol. In the film, Wallace and Gromit spend a bank holiday by building a homemade rocket to the Moon to sample cheese. It is followed by 1993's The Wrong Trousers, 1995's A Close Shave, 2005's The Curse of the Were-Rabbit and 2008's A Matter of Loaf and Death. This is the first Wallace & Gromit video to have an introduction. The second was The Wrong Trousers.
Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is a 2005 British stop-motion animated comedy film. The film was produced by Aardman Animations in partnership with DreamWorks Animation, and was the last DreamWorks animated film to be distributed by DreamWorks Pictures. It was directed by Nick Park and Steve Box as the second feature-length film by Aardman after Chicken Run.
The Wrong Trousers is a 1993 stop-motion animated short film directed by Nick Park at Aardman Animations, featuring his characters Wallace and Gromit. It was his second half-hour short featuring the eccentric inventor Wallace (voiced by Peter Sallis) and his silent but intelligent dog Gromit, following 1989's A Grand Day Out, and preceding 1995's A Close Shave.
A Close Shave is a 1995 stop motion animated short film directed by Nick Park at Aardman Animations in Bristol, featuring his characters Wallace and Gromit. It was his third half-hour short featuring the eccentric inventor Wallace and his quiet but intelligent dog Gromit, following 1990's A Grand Day Out, and 1993's The Wrong Trousers.
A Matter of Loaf and Death is an animated television short created by Nick Park, and the fourth of his shorts to star his characters Wallace and Gromit. It is the first Wallace and Gromit project since the feature film Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit in 2005, and the first short since A Close Shave in 1995.
Wallace & Gromit: The Best of Aardman Animation is a 1996 compilation film featuring previous Wallace and Gromit shorts.
Wallace and Gromit's Cracking Contraptions is a series of ten Wallace and Gromit stop motion animations varying in length from 1 to 3 minutes. Each episode features one of Wallace's new inventions and Gromit's skeptical reaction to it. The series was produced and released in 2002 by Aardman Animations.
Wallace and Gromit's World of Invention is a BBC One science show featuring the animated claymation characters Wallace and Gromit, made by Aardman. The BBC said in a press statement that in the series, "Wallace will take a light hearted and humorous look at the real-life inventors, contraptions, gadgets and inventions, with the silent help of Gromit. The series aims to inspire a whole new generation of innovative minds by showing them real, but mind-boggling, machines and inventions from around the world that have influenced his illustrious inventing career."

KEWASKUM, Wis. (AP) -- Two teenagers have died in a collision with a sheriff's deputy in Washington County.
The crash happened about 8:30 a.m. Wednesday in Kewaskum. WISN-TV reports the deputy suffered minor injuries, but the two teens in the other car were killed.
The Wisconsin State Patrol says a teen driving a 2004 Ford Taurus lost control of the car and hit the deputy's squad car head-on.
The deputy was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The State Patrol says heavy rain and wet pavement may have been factors in the crash. The patrol is investigating.
Names of the teenagers were not immediately released.

Aim Our aim was to quantify climatic influences on key leaf traits and relationships at the global scale. This knowledge provides insight into how plants have adapted to different environmental pressures, and will lead to better calibration of future vegetation–climate models.
Location The data set represents vegetation from 175 sites around the world.
Methods For more than 2500 vascular plant species, we compiled data on leaf mass per area (LMA), leaf life span (LL), nitrogen concentration (Nmass) and photosynthetic capacity (Amass). Site climate was described with several standard indices. Correlation and regression analyses were used for quantifying relationships between single leaf traits and climate. Standardized major axis (SMA) analyses were used for assessing the effect of climate on bivariate relationships between leaf traits. Principal components analysis (PCA) was used to summarize multidimensional trait variation.
Results At hotter, drier and higher irradiance sites, (1) mean LMA and leaf N per area were higher; (2) average LL was shorter at a given LMA, or the increase in LL was less for a given increase in LMA (LL–LMA relationships became less positive); and (3) Amass was lower at a given Nmass, or the increase in Amass was less for a given increase in Nmass. Considering all traits simultaneously, 18% of variation along the principal multivariate trait axis was explained by climate.
Main conclusions Trait-shifts with climate were of sufficient magnitude to have major implications for plant dry mass and nutrient economics, and represent substantial selective pressures associated with adaptation to different climatic regimes.

Cause and effect, Part II
Nobel laureate Paul Krugman tells Ian Munroe about the origins of the financial crisis, and how its fallout will change the global economy. Part II.
August 31, 2009 2:20 by Ian Munroe
How do you see the crisis changing the global economy?
I think we're going to see substantially bigger financial regulations, and with that, substantially reduced financial globalization. A lot of the international penetration of markets was part and parcel of the growth of this unregulated banking sector, and I think that's going to be reigned in. A lot of things we're seeing countries do as part of their rescue are also pushing finance towards a home focus. So in a way, the world is going to get bigger again. International finance will be less of a factor than it was.
Will developed and developing countries be pushed further apart?
We may actually have some of the decoupling that people thought would happen in this crisis and didn't. Now for what it's worth, we had a perverse situation in these past 10 years where many of these developing countries were actually exporting to a lot of the advanced countries. I don't think anyone foresees that coming to an end. I don't think we're going to have a lot of global protectionism or that trade is going to be cut back very much. There is obviously some pressure there, but I don't think it's going to be at the center of the story. It's going to be a little hard to see how this plays out, but I think it's probably just going to be a calmer sort of world – less wheeling and dealing, less adventurous finance.
How will people and companies behave differently?
Eventually we hope that there will be a revival in business investment. One of my big concerns is what it will take to get that going. But in the end I think it will happen. In terms of the debt position, non-financial corporations haven't behaved in a particularly over-the-top way.
They've actually behaved relatively responsibly, so I don't think there will be major changes there. Households in the United States, and to some extent in several European countries, are probably going to have much higher savings rates for a sustained period. They were leveraging themselves off, taking on a lot of debt, and relying on capital gains to provide for retirement. That's not going to happen, so there's going to be a serious change in consumer behavior.

The problem we have is people just play small. -Cory Booker
Cory Booker, now serving in his second term as Mayor of Newark, New Jersey, spoke at Hofstra on Wednesday, Feb.29 in the Helene Fortunoff Theater of Monroe Lecture Center to kick off the University's 2012 Pride, Politics & Policy events as the University prepares for the 2012 Presidential Debate.
The speech aimed to empower students to take action that would improve their communities, and to improve the world through small acts of kindness. Booker didn't use his time at Hofstra to speak about policy or preach his record as Newark mayor, but rather to encourage students to be true to themselves and to take responsibility for the world in which they live. He was told that going into politics would leave him like many politicians today: depressed and hopeless.
"I have more faith in what we can do in this nation now, than ever," said Booker.
Booker used examples from his personal and family life to illustrate how different acts of kindness can affect a community. He gave a story of his father's hometown, which pitched together to generate enough money so that his father could go to college. Booker also shared the story of how black and white people came together to help African Americans gain equality in housing, which is how Booker's parents were able to buy a house in Harrington Park.
"We got there because of Americans that did things not required of them," said Booker.
Early in his career as councilman of Newark, Booker spent 10 days living in a tent while on a hunger strike. The hunger strike's purpose was to promote the lack of police presence in a crime-ridden section of his district in the Central Ward. Booker proceeded with the hunger strike because though he did not know exactly what to do to solve the problem, he felt that acting on the cause was better than taking no action at all.
Optimistically, Booker also spoke about how people have to see the good in life and not always view the glass half empty. Among several hilarious and inspiring stories, Mayor Booker told one of an experience he had while flying. He sat next to a woman with a crying baby and a toddler, rather than joining everyone on the plane in scorning the woman, he tried to sympathize with her and make it the best plane ride of his life. Fifteen years later, that woman's family came to own a factory in Newark and stood behind Mayor Booker in his election process.
"Every moment of your life gives you a chance," said Booker. "Nothing at all is ever wasted unless you choose to waste things."
Booker shared the story of how he first arrived in Newark as a law student from Yale University who wanted to change the world from the get-go. When Booker met the tenant president at the Brick Towers, he discovered that in order to learn how to improve the city, he would first have to see its beauty. Booker recalled how the tenant president told him, "If you are one of those stubborn people that every time you open your eyes and you see hope, possibility, opportunity, love, and the face of God. If you can be one of those people, then that can help me."
A question and answer session followed the speech, allowing Hofstra students to ask Mayor Booker some of their own questions. After Booker left Monroe Theater, he attended a reception at Hofstra Hall where students were able ask Booker questions on a one-on-one level.

CIT TRADE FINANCE: Middle-market retailers cautiously optimistic for holiday.
Details on Industry Insight.
Billabong announced this afternoon that negotiations to sell all of the company have ended without a deal, but that it is still in talks with Sycamore Partners and Altamont Capital Partners about refinancing its capital structure and selling pieces of the company.
The aim of the potential refinancing and sale of assets is to pay off the company's existing debt obligations and to be in a better position to implement its transformation plan, Billabong said in a release.
Neither party has been granted an exclusivity period for the potential transactions, and both have submitted proposals.
While the talks continue, Billabong said it is aggressively moving to cut costs around the globe. I am getting reports about layoffs today at the company.
Billabong also said it would ask to have trading in its stock restarted. The stock has not been traded while sale discussions were ongoing. It last traded at 45 cents.
A company spokesman said in an interview that this latest development means Billabong will remain a publicly listed company in Australia, that shareholder's will not be asked to pay for a new equity raising, and the same two parties are still interested in being involved with Billabong, even though a change of control will not happen.
Billabong is also focused on completing a final deal as soon as possible, the spokesman said.
The company also lowered its earnings guidance again, citing weakness in Australian retail, and higher than expected losses from launching online retailer SurfStitch in Europe.
In Australia, retail comps year-to-date are 5.4% below the same period last year, while the wholesale division is on plan.
Americas is slightly above plan, and the Europe region remains weak.
Billabong lowered its EBITDA guidance to a range of AUD $67 million to AUD $74 million, excluding special items and Nixon. Previously, the company had expected EBITDA of AUD $74 million to AUD $81 million.
The company also confirmed it is exploring the sale of Canadian retail chain West 49, which Shop-eat-surf reported last week.

|I'm not sure if this should go in "Winter Sowing" or not.
I would like my flowers to have a little head-start this year.
I live in a basement, and while the patio door (south end of house) gets plenty of light, it is rather cold...averaging only 60F (65 daytime, 55-50 night time).
I've heard plants need to be at least 70F to start growing... so if I planted flower seeds and put them by the patio door, would they not grow because it's too cold, even though there's plenty of light? I've heard columbine actually need cold first...should I try just those to begin with? I think it's too late to plant bulbs now, but I got a few of those too (tulips & iris).
I was thinking of planting no later than Feb. 15 so they would at least be sprouted and "going" by May 15 when I can put them outside after frost.
Plants I am definitely wanting:

|Are you planting in containers (i.e., recycled milk jugs, take-out containers) or in pots/cell packs? With winter sowing, seeds are planted in containers with moistened growing medium and the containers are placed outside in the cold. They become "mini greenhouses" and are in Mother Nature's hands until the seeds germinate when it's their time to do so according to their genetic code.
While this may or may not represent giving them a head start, the advantages are healthy, robust plants that do not need to be hardened off to the outside elements because they "grew up" in them and are already accustomed to fluctuating temperatures and sunlight/daylight conditions. Also, there is no waiting to put them outside after the last frost--winter sown seedlings are tough and most can withstand whatever Ma Nature throws at them.
The information on seed packs about required germination temperatures is intended for growing indoors and doesn't apply when winter sowing.
Hope that helps. Others may chime in as well so if you have more questions, go ahead and ask.
Here are some of my winter sown containers:
Here's my first lupine sprout last year in April when it got its second "true" leaf:
|For most seeds temperature and moisture are more important than light for germination. Many seeds will germinate at 60 degrees although often much slower. As soon as germinated they will need light. If winter sowed, germination will occur when conditions are right. Many seeds will actually germinate better with the fluctuating temperatures of the outside, but not on your schedule. Al

|Thanks for the replies!
I was planning on planting in those 6-pack little black square pots to begin with, then after they sprouted to a decent size then transfer them to the ground outside after May 15 (last frost).
I do have a room that is constantly 75F (my bedroom), that I could start them in, as they don't need light right away... then after they get sprouted, I could move them to the "sunlit but colder" room?
@ Gardenweed - I have actually been saving milk jugs like that! I was going to cut the tops off, so that I could sprinkle the seeds in the soil and put some soil over them. How do you do it through the narrow opening? That would definitely help keep more of the greenhouse effect than if the tops were off like I planned. I also have quite a few clear plastic storage bins that I figured I could use for mini-greenhouses when I use the little 6-pack black pot things.
- Posted by gardenweed_z6a 6 (My Page) on Fri, Jan 28, 11 at 17:35
|vivid_dawn - don't cut the tops off the milk jugs. Cut all the way around but leave an inch or so at the base of the handle as a "hinge" that you can use to open and close the jugs. Once the jug is cut open, you can put your growing mix inside, moisten it, sow your seeds, stick in a label, close the top with a piece of tape and set it outside. You don't need to cover the seeds with soil inside the jugs. A little bird grit or a gentle spritz from a spray bottle of water will help them make contact with the growing mix.
Is your email address on your member page? If it is I can email some detailed pictures for you to show you how I WS in milk jugs. Or, email me first and I'll reply with pictures.
|Vivid, you can use a top or cover on seeds while inside, but if you are thinking of using tops inside for seedlings - that's not a good idea and can lead to damp off. The tops inside are for germinaton, maintaining a humid environment for the seeds, they are removed at germination so the seedlings can have circulation/air.
The method Gardenweed is showing you is for sowing of seeds outdoors in winter.

District 18 - Rochester area
Last updated: 2014-11-25
CO Scott Fritz (LaCrescent) reports hardcore duck hunters that found open water shot some nice mallards and black ducks. Early in the week ice fishermen were having luck in the backwaters. Main channel opened up again after the warm weekend. 3B deer opener had wet rainy weather. The larger groups did well with deer drives. Bucks are in lock down mode. He assisted the Winona Sheriff with a search for a fisherman who?s been missing for two weeks. Enforcement for the week included shining after hours without a firearm, fail to tag deer and APR violation.
CO Phil George (Rochester) conducted follow up from the deer season and checked waterfowl hunters. A few snowmobiles were out before all the snow melted over the weekend. One person located had warrants and was in possession of methamphetamine. Other enforcement action involved some waterfowl hunting issues.
CO Mitch Boyum (Rushford) reports working the 3B opener. Warmer weather made it more comfortable but deer movement was slow. The muddy weather made driving deer difficult as well. Most groups did have deer but added it was slow. Trespass complaints were investigated as were shooting from the road complaints. A few pheasant hunters were out and seeing a few birds now that the majority of corn has been harvested.
CO Tyler Quandt (Red Wing) reports following up on deer cases during the week and spending the weekend checking B season deer hunters. Waterfowl hunters were having a difficult time finding open water to hunt by the end of the week. Hunters took advantage of the nice weather on Saturday and fewer people were observed during the rain on Sunday. Some deer hunting violations were detected and a few people called to turn in deer that did not meet the Antler Point Restriction.
CO Joel Heyn (Plainview) worked mainly deer and waterfowl hunters during the week. A number of deer hunters were out, but it was slower overall compared to the A season. Duck hunters who managed to get out on the river with all the ice did well with limits and overlimits seen taken.
Rochester #2 - vacant.

The Lost Gardens of Heligan, near Mevagissey in Cornwall, are one of the most popular botanical gardens in the UK. The style of the gardens is typical of the nineteenth century Gardenesque style, with areas of different character and in different design styles.
The gardens were created by members of the Cornish Tremayne family, over a period from the mid-18th century up to the beginning of the 20th century, and still form part of the family's Heligan estate. The gardens were neglected after the First World War, and only restored in the 1990s, a restoration that was the subject of several popular television programmes and books.
The gardens now boast a fabulous collection of aged and colossal rhododendrons and camellias, a series of lakes fed by a ram pump over a hundred years old, highly productive flower and vegetable gardens, an Italian garden, and a stunning wild area filled with primaeval-looking sub-tropical tree ferns called "The Jungle". The gardens also have Europe's only remaining pineapple pit, warmed by rotting manure, and two figures made from rocks and plants known as the Mud Maid and the Giant's Head.

"My wife and i have just returned from a stay at the hoops for two nights hoping to find a comfortable characterful place to stay in to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and to use as a base to explore the coastline of the region. well the hoops certainly delivered exceeding our expectations. our room for the first night was a standard room which was spacious enough to suit our needs, very comfortable, clean, quiet and with a modern en-suite. we originally wanted to book the more luxurious mallow suite which was not available for our first night but, the owner upgraded us to this room for our second night at no extra charge. our second night in the mallow suite was truly wonderful with its very comfortable four-poster bed, settee and large modern bathroom containing a jacuzzi as well as a large walk in shower. the bar area is cosy with a country pub atmosphere serving three different real ales straight from the barrel. you can dine in the bar choosing from either the bar or restaurant menu, both offering a wide selection of dishes. the restaurant is also comfortable and inviting to dine in. we ate dinner in the hoops both evenings of our stay and found the quality of food to be of a high standard and the service prompt from friendly helpful staff. the hotel has the advantage of a large car park providing plenty of space to park your car, particularly if you have a long estate car like ours. we would thoroughly recommend the hoops as an idyllic place to stay, providing all the comforts you would hope to find in a country inn and a good base to explore this part of devon at an affordable cost. we will certainly stay here again" Sept 2012

Original article "One key indicator is that those with access to the levers of power within the ruling order cease to believe in the religion or ideology that legitimizes the regime.
