The slumping housing market and gas prices have hurt truck sales, so automakers are going to have to step up on givebacks to keep metal moving. Toyota has taken the first shot with thier five month old Tundra, with 0% financing and buckets of cash. Edmunds tallied final Tundra incentives at $5,083 per unit last month, which is second to only the much older Dodge Ram. The new Silverado, which currently carries only $1,500 to $2,000 on the hood, is set for a bump in incentives to help level the playing field vs. the fierce competition, and older offerings from Ford and Dodge will have to follow suit. With Toyota's deep pockets, there may be no end to how far the folks from Aichi will go to reach their stated sales goal of 200,000 units in 2007, so $5,000 may just be the beginning.
If you've been waiting on your truck purchase, we have a feeling your patience is about to be rewarded. Everybody's pickup offerings are stronger than they've ever been, and with more competition comes more money in your pocket.

With the introduction of Otter Pops the much-beloved, character-driven frozen treats the tenuous connection between otters and music was reduced to tenu-was: Fruit juice plus otters equaled "pops," a taste and musical sensation! Leave it to the Saint Louis Zoo in Forest Park to one-up the formula: Saturday and Sunday (September 23 through October 8), the zoo presents its annual Ottertoberfest, the German-themed, lederhosen-lovin' celebration that finally unites oompa music and those adorable sea weasels. In addition to foods and brews for the adults, the zoo sponsors live entertainment and otter-centric activities for the kiddos (dam-building and belly-sliding, perchance?). Ottertoberfest runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and admission is free; call 314-781-0900 or visit www.stlzoo.org for more information.
Saturdays, Sundays. Starts: Sept. 23. Continues through Oct. 8

November 27, 2014
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - An attorney for Lance Armstrong told the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency the cyclist will cooperate with efforts to "clean up cycling," though it's the sport's governing body and world anti-doping officials who should take the lead.
In letters sent this week between attorneys for Armstrong and USADA, and obtained by The Associated Press, USADA attorney William Bock requested Armstrong testify under oath by Feb. 6, but the cyclist's attorney, Tim Herman, responds that Armstrong cannot accommodate that schedule.
Last week, Armstrong admitted to taking performance-enhancing drugs to win the Tour de France seven times.
Herman's letter said Armstrong intends to appear before the International Cycling Union's planned "truth and reconciliation" commission.
Herman says the cycling union and the World Anti-Doping Agency should take the lead in cleaning up the sport.

General Motors isn't saying how it plans to do it, but according to our friends at PickupTrucks.com, it is saying that consumers are "...going to see substantial improvements in towing capability in our next hybrids." Right now, the Chevrolet Silverado Hybrid and GMC Sierra Hybrid can pull 6,100 pounds with their electrically-assisted, multi-displacement 6.0-liter V8 engines. The improvement will be "up to 50% more," meaning a tow rating of 9,000 pounds could be coming this way.
If GM can wring a full 50% improvement out of the drivetrain, that would put the hybrids just 1,600 pounds short of the max towing capacity of the standard gasoline V8 crew cab half-ton with the enhanced tow package. The transmission torque capacity and the necessary cooling systems are the apparently the chief limitations to be overcome, and GM says if the current package can evolve enough, then "one of the things you might consider is E-Flex." And how neat would a Volt pickup be?

Trader Joe's Does Not Honor Their Return Policy
I tried returning some fruit juice products last week at Trader Joe's. I brought back two of them, an antioxidant drink (fruit mix) and orange juice. The juices had gone bad well before the expiration date.
In the past, on the rare occasion I've returned items, I've never gotten grief. This time, the manager flatly refused. "No." I told him that I didn't want a refund, just an exchange for other products. "No." I told him I was a long time customer and rarely asked for returns, but believed Trader Joe's had a customer satisfaction policy. "No, try asking another manager." "Is he on duty? Can I speak to him?"
"When can I speak to him?"
"Try calling this number."
"But, he may or may not accept the exchange."
At this point, I was really getting frustrated by this person. Trader Joe's has a clearly stated policy of accepting items not only for exchange but for a refund, and I was not asking for a refund.
I tried to remind him of the store policy.
"I'm done."
The other manager on duty glared at me also.
I'm wondering if I should pursue this with the higher ups or just give up on this store for good.
I like some of their food items and have dropped a ton of money on their stores in the past, but this sorry state of customer service makes me feel comfortable never returning.
Have any of you experienced similar?
There's the product guarantee on their website which hasn't changed.
Call or e-mail them with your complaint and let us know what they say. I've never had a problem returning something and the workers encourage me when I'm contemplating even a wine....."you don't like it bring it back."0
Welcome. I see this is your first and only post on Chowhound.
Where did this happen? It is very unusual and I am certain the management of the company would want to know.0
As Cathy noted above, welcome to Chowhound. I hope you will be a regular presence here. And I hope your future posts don't strain credibility as much as this one does. Sorry, but I find it almost impossible to believe that any Trader Joe's manager would so flagrantly and noxiously violate a cherished refund policy that is so well known, popular, and basically written in stone.0
re: Arthur
I was not only surprised, but shocked by the manager's response and behavior. I've spent many, many of my precious dollars shopping there and in the past, they've rewarded loyalty. For example, in the past, I've occasionally asked about specific products, whether they're good, etc. I was astonished when a cashier just gave me the product I was inquiring about for FREE! He just handed it to me! I've also been given a product for free for having to wait too long, or because there was an unfresh product. Of course, they'd see me there several times a week, so they knew I was a loyal shopper.
But, I've moved and this is a different Trader Joe's and the experience has been quite different. I might give them another try, but I feel comfortable now simply saying adieu Trader Joe's! Adieu!0
re: NewDude
Again, which Trader Joe's?
We all would like to know.0
re: Cathy
I am south of San Jose.0
re: NewDude
You are making a serious complaint about a specific manager of a store that has a very clear policy. There are more than 100 stores in Northern California alone. Which specific location?0
re: Cathy
I don't feel completely comfortable posting the exact location. I would like to maintain some anonymity on this board.0
re: NewDude
And identifying the location would make your identity obvious? Was it the Neverland Trader Joe's? Are you Michael Jackson?0
re: ferret
Wait, I thought he had to move out of Neverland!0
re: rockandroller1
He shoulda saved on expenses with TJ's prepackaged instead of hiring chefs. Still would've saved money even if he couldn't return stale products.0
No. And I don't believe you did either.0
I emailed them. I'll let you know of their reply.0
I don't find it completely out of the question that there is a TJs out there somewhere with surly management or someone having a really bad day. Maybe the manager just learned he was getting fired or something or got some bad personal news, everyone has a bad day. OTOH, maybe the OP is leaving out some of his end of the conversation that might have caused such unusually hostile behavior in a store known for their jovial, easy-going employees. Either way, if the OP did pursue the complaint with corporate, that's about all you can do. I don't know why we automatically assume the OP is lying just because he's a new poster.0
re: rockandroller1
On my part, it's not because he's a new poster. It's because the behavior and the description of it is so far outside even the worst behavior from a Trader Joe's employee I've ever seen or heard about that it, literally, strains credulity. In my view, there is either some piece of information missing entirely or the description is inaccurate. I suppose there are circumstances that would lead a Trader Joe's manager to decline a return/refund but in the case that a customer brings the product back and the product was spoiled or otherwise unusable prior to a sell by/fresh by/expiration date Trader Joe's has a pretty open and shut policy about that.
If the story were that the manager had been rude, surely or abrupt and dismissive while processing the return or refund, I would have no reason to dispute that. If the problem the customer had was that the manager refused the refund for a reason the customer didn't think sufficient for refusing the refund I and others could decide whether we thought the reason was good enough. But the combination; a very rude, abrupt refusal with no explanation: I simply don't find it remotely likely. That the OP hasn't given any further information about the interaction (though has declined to specify the store out of privacy concerns which...ok) I don't find any reason to think the story as told holds water.
I should clarify, I don't think the OP is lying. I don't believe that he or she made up that he or she had an unpleasant and perhaps quite rude experience. I believe there are important elements that aren't here. Absent any description of other parts of the story, I'll register my disbelief.0
I'm shocked at the animosity directed toward this poster. If you love your TJ's, great - keep going there. But don't automatically call someone else a liar because they had a different experience than yours. NewDude may have encountered a new manager, someone who was having a bad day, or a manager who just wanted to be a pain - and he noted how he's never run into that problem before.
And by the way, we were all new posters at one time. Welcome, NewDude.0
re: Suzy Q
I just read this and also cannot believe the vehemence directed at this poster. Only time will tell if he is a "poser" or not--so I hope he gets back to us soon w/the company's response--but as someone said, we all have bad days when we know we're being mean or inflexible and not following the rules--and we don't care. And I like TJ, so though I find this to be an anomaly, that doesn't mean it can't ever happen.0
re: Suzy Q
I AGREE! I can't believe some of the asinine replies I have read on here! Some of you should really be ashamed of yourself ... yea, let's start attacking the new poster and make sure he wants to come back (roll eyes) ... but if he does decide to come back I just hope his posts "don't strain credibility as much as this one does"
If NewDude doesn't want to tell you what city he shops in (for whatever reason), what is it to you? He has that right. Also, this is a forum for "chains" So it really doesn't matter where ... how is that relevant anyway? He was asking if he should report it to the higher ups or not.
Not only that, he stated that he has been a loyal customer and this was his first complaint ... Do you think all employees have to be baptized and declared a saint before they can work there?! GIVE ME A BREAK!0
re: boisenewbie
The reason that NewDude's refusal to name the exact Trader Joe's branch that supposedly copped an attitude and refused an exchange is that it reflects on the credibility of his story. Let's examine the situation: A couple of weeks ago we had a lively thread debating the ethics of taking advantage of TJ's gracious return policy; of dozens of replies, not one person ever reported having a problem returning an item. So now we have a firsttime poster with a highly atypical experience, reporting that not only did a manager act against the widely-known and publicized policy but behaving rudely as well.
So, facing such an unusual situation, someone asks the OP which TJ's is responsible for this amazing refusal. His response? Oh, uh, I don't want to say, I want to maintain my anonymity. C'mon.
Isn't the headquarters of the Safeway grocery chain located "somewhere south of San Jose"? Nice try, NewDude. I'd like to hear the alleged TJ manager's version of this interaction, assuming he exists. And NewDude, I'd be very interested in you posting a copy of the email you supposedly sent, with all of the original dating and labelling.0
re: nosh
Dude, I don't know what you're smokin'. Safeway is a joke. Granted, I do shop there every once in a blue moon to grab a necessity when I don't feel like driving to a Target or what not. But their prices are astronomical, and I would have no problem reporting on an issue if it were to occur. But like I said, I shop there so infrequently it's a non-starter.
Paranoid much?0
re: boisenewbie
The title is a blanket statement, accusing the Trader Joe corporation of not honoring the decades old policy.
That is simply not true. If it happened, it is definitely a single store problem.
There are 5 Trader Joe's I shop at regularly in San Diego County and if something is inconsistent with one store in comparison to the others, I will very certainly want everyone to know abou tthat specific store, not just anonymously post a general statement about the company. It isn't like the OP is the only one who shops at that store.
it does seem odd that this person never posted even one comment on CH before and decides that his first post has to be such a broad based title giving no specific information yet indicting an entire corporation. He certainly has spent the rest of today commenting on everything. I would give more credibility to someone who has been around on CH a while and who had something like this happen.
As I see it, he is just someone who wanted to get a discussion going and we are all falling for it.0
re: Cathy
I'm with you, Cathy. Too little detail, with too much anger. Something doesn't smell right.
Why the reluctance to try another manager, or the one who's number was offered? Why not return it to a different TJ's?0
re: irishnyc
I remember when I started posting several years ago that I got slammed for a positive opinion I gave and I stated that it had been several months since my visit to the particular (non-chain) restaurant and many insisted that my information was bad.
It's not really nice or productive. Give the guy a chance to catch on and understand the lengths that some of us go before posting. I am no bleeding heart but the guy felt mistreated to a great extent by a company where he was spending his hard earned $$.
I also noticed that he has posted several more times and is getting into the mix.0
Well, thanks for all this great discussion. As I have tried to state, my experiences with TJ's have been quite positive until recently. I ran into two emotionally toxic and unprofessional staff members, and quite frankly, that's been enough to sour my experience enough to make me consider never returning.
I've done some research on other websites, and unfortunately, rudeness is a complaint that has popped up about several local TJ's. I won't go into detailed discussion of why this does not surprise me, but it doesn't.
Anyway, I've found alternatives to just about everything available at TJ's. The positive about my experience is that I've learned I can live without! Ah, isn't capitalism grand?
There is always an alternative.0
re: NewDude
NewDude, what you apparently still fail to grasp is that because your posted grievance appears to fly in the face of reason (i.e., why would any sensible manager so flagrantly violate the store's well-known return policy?) as well as Trader Joe's outstanding record of customer service, it is inherently unreliable and cannot have any valid practical impact (i.e., it is useless) unless you can back it up with some supportable facts (e.g., at a minimum, disclose the exact store at which the bizarre alleged incident occurred). As Cathy said above, you have indicted the whole chain based on the purported isolated acts of two employees at a single undisclosed location. Clearly, one of the primary reasons many of us come to this site is for details that help us make better-informed chow decisions. But, by definition, it is not legitimately possible to make an informed decision without proper information - particularly the kind of information you've so conveniently and suspiciously omitted.0
re: Arthur
And if you look around this site, people are definitely not shy about sharing specific details of their experiences...the TJ police aren't going to knock on your door late at night because you posted adverse comments on CH, so I don't understand why maintaining some anonymity (on a board where no one knows your real name unless you share it!) is important to you.
I say welcome NewDude to Chowhound, but be prepared to have people challenge you when they disagree or suspect that they haven't heard the whole story.0
"you have indicted the whole chain based on the purported isolated acts of two employees at a single undisclosed location. "
I find this comment wildly amusing when there are many, many posters here who will denigrate a restaurant or establishment they haven't even visited simply because it's a chain. Why is it OK to slam someplace like, say, the Cheesecake Factory, but not report a bad experience at Trader Joe's?
Honestly, I don't get it. As long as there are human beings and not robots working in stores, the shopping and customer service experience will vary. The people working at TJ's are the same people who work at any other retail establishment; they don't get brain transplants when they don the Hawaiian shirt. They're just as capable of being rude - or very pleasant and helpful - as the rest of us.0
re: Suzy Q
Because he could have gone to a different TJs and returned the items and not gotten any hassle. He very much accused two specific persons of not following very widely known and printed company policy. Policy that has been in effect for more than 20 years. Not just a mood thing, but management of a certain location blatantly not following policy.
Cheesecake factory has standardization of ingredients and preparation and people saying they don't like the salad dressing or sauce or something like that is making a statement that someone eating at a CF in Kansas City, Miami or Los Angeles can relate to.
To make a statement (with a title of "Trader Joe's" and *not* 'Trader Joe's on Main Street in Midtown' is implying that *the company* does not follow written well known policy.0
re: Cathy
My point remains. When someone posts a negative commentary here about someplace like Cheesecake Factory (which seems to be an example of Satan's Kitchen here on Chowhound), you don't get twenty replies accusing them of lying and telling them that they're wrong because they didn't go out and eat at another location.
I understand that many people are loyal to TJ's, and that's fine - I often shop there myself and have had good experiences. However, the vitriol directed at NewDude is, in my humble opinion, completely out of line and unnecessary.0
re: Suzy Q
The only complaint I have about the OP's comments are that he refuses to identify the specific TJ's he is talking about. What is there to be afraid of? If he tells us which one it is, then other people can visit and relate what sort of experience they had at this same store. I am also waiting for him to tell us what the response from the corporate office was. If I encountered as bad a service as he says he did, I would definitely report the specific store AND send a complaint to the corporate office. His willingness to write off his entire prior long-time pleasant experience with TJ's on the basis of two people, and his refusal to give any details about the store or a response from corporate in my opinion is just not right.0
re: Suzy Q
This thread has allowed varying points of view on this topic, and it's starting to loop back on itself. There have been some unfriendly replies as well. We'll lock it now. Thanks.0

SOUTH BEND, Ind.--- One million Americans currently live with Parkinson's disease.
Right now there's no way to tell if these patients will have a mild or severe form of the disease, but a simple blood test might change that.
It's giving Parkinson's patients a glimpse into their future.
Michael Weinman has been living with Parkinson's for 14 years now.
"I used to be able to run. I can't run anymore. I used to be able to carry my food to the table. I can't do that," said Michael.
Through all the challenges Michael has kept a positive attitude.
"I try to focus on what I can do though," said Michael.
"He's a glass half full kind of person," said Nesa Weinman, Michael's wife. (:02)
While Michael's disease has progressed slowly, Parkinsons' patients don't know whether their disease will be mild or severe when they are diagnosed.
"Nobody who is a neurologist and sees patients can very well predict who will rapidly decline and eventually need a wheelchair quite fast," said Dr. Beate Ritz, Department Chair of Epidemiology at the Center for Occupational and Environmental Health.
Dr. Ritz and colleagues studied recently diagnosed Parkinson's patients. They took blood samples and found those with higher levels of a Metabolite -N-8-Acetyl Spermidine declined much faster than those with lower levels.
"We found that this one metabolite seemed to really distinguish these two groups from each other," said Dr. Ritz.
Doctors say the next step is to conduct a larger study on this metabolite as a predictor of faster progression.
Michael and his wife hope research like this will help others. They walk in the annual "Mike-Hike" which has raised more than $40,000 for Parkinson's research.
"Hopefully in the future, they'll be able to treat it and recognize it sooner," said Michael.
HEART ATTACKS: More than a million Americans have heart attacks a year. The heart muscle needs a constant supply of oxygen-rich blood to nourish it. The coronary arteries provide the heart with blood supply. Coronary artery disease causes the arteries to narrow and blood will not flow properly. Fatty matter, proteins, calcium, and inflammatory cells build up within the arteries to form plaques of different sizes. The plaque deposits are hard on the outside and soft on the inside. When plaque is hard, the outer shell cracks and platelets come to the area, and blood clots form around the plaque. If a blood clot totally blocks the artery, the heart muscle becomes "starved" for oxygen. Over time, death of heart muscle cells occurs, causing permanent damage. This is a heart attack. (Source: www.webmd.com)
DR. CADERIAS: "Heart disease is all about fluid. It's the heart not being able to perform well; it's too weak, so fluid backs up, for example to the lung or to the circulation and then accumulates inside the body. The other variable that is included in this score is whether the patient is on a specific medication. This medication is called an ACE inhibitor or an angiotensin receptor blocker. The fact that the patient is on that medication is good because it is linked to patients doing better over time; the fact that the patient is not on that may be an indicator the patient is worsening or is doing poorly. The third variable is what we call near heart association functional class that basically grades the degree of shortness of breath. Patients with heart failure have shortness of breath which is a manifestation of fluid that backs up to the lungs and the more shortness of breath that you have, the higher that score. The fourth variable is a little bit more complex to explain, but it's basically related to how we perform given exercise. An analogy can be when we get our car to measure the gas every year or every so often to see how the engine is working, so the emissions in the car are way of judging how our car is doing in general. And in the body is about the same. How well our heart is performing we can measure with a mask and the result of that evaluation we can plug it into the score as well. This is called cardiopulmonary exercise test and the result of that test is the fourth variable of this score."

Compost tea has 'come a long way', especially in the last 10 years, and mostly (in my opinion) due to the efforts of Dr. Elaine Ingham .
I study compost tea microbilogy under Dr. Ingham and attend her headquarters seminars in Corvallis, Oregon each year to ensure that I'm using the latest information and techniques in my ROI Laboratory where I analyze the microbiology of soil, compost and tea for my commercial clients.
There are a LOT of different products that purport to have microbes in them - but most have VERY FEW, based on inspection with my microscope at 400x - and many of the microbes that I do find in the products are not the right kinds. Buyer Beware!!
There are also many kinds of compost teas, and as many recipes for tea as there are tea machine (brewer) manufacturers and people who experiment with recipes in their home brewers.
But let's be very clear about one very important issue. Unless you view compost tea at 400x with a light microscope, it's all just guesswork - which is NOT the right way to assess a microbial product.
As long as you're just guessing, you should NEVER sell your tea to anybody, because doing so would open you up to serious liability consequences if someone were to become ill, or your product has a detrimental effect on plants.
I'm not saying that your tea would, or even could make somebody sick. But supposition is what drives lawsuits. Unproven possibilities and probabilities can cost you your entire life's savings in a court battle to prove your innocence. That's life, in today's screwed-up world.
And not just looking at all the 'critters' growing and reproducing in your tea - but being able to recognize what you are looking at. Is that microscopic creature a bacteria or a protozoa? Is it a 'good' guy or a 'bad' guy?
Could you recognize an E.coli microbe if you saw one? That takes some training, which I highly recommend.
Start by obtaining a copy of Dr. Ingham's book: "The Compost Tea Brewing Manual, 5th Edition", and her book: "Qualitative Assesment of Microorganisms". I also recommend her book: "Compost Tea Quality: Light Microscope Methods".
Not just any microscope will do. Must be one with a powerful light source. A good one can be purchased for $1,500 (with supplies) but the better ones cost in the $2,500 range. No, you don't need the best ones - they are in the $25,000 range.
And consider the issue of food for microbes. If you don't use microbe food in the water to make tea, then chances are the microbes won't reproduce much, and you may be breeding the 'bad guys'. Food recipes for composting and/or tea brewing should select for beneficial microbes.
There is still a lot of misinformation about using molasses in compost and tea. Molasses is almost pure carbon. Sugar is an energy food, and has very little value in exponential microbial reproduction which requires nitrogen in PROTEIN form.
And of course you know that putting too much food in the water can keep the water from reaching the MINIMUM 6ppm level.
Yes, it takes a high level of oxygen. More oxygen than it takes for fish to survive in an aquarium tank powered by a dinky airstone aerator dropped into a 5-gallon bucket. If the water does not contain MORE than 6 ppm (6 mg/l) of DISSOLVED oxygen, exponential reproduction of microbes will not happen, and you'll mostly breed anaerobic microbes, many of which can be pathogenic ('bad guys').
How does one determine if the compost tea has at least 6 ppm dissolved O2 in it? A dissolved oxygen meter. A hand-held unit can be purchased for $400 - the best ones are in the $1,200 range. It is also necessary to monitor water temperature and pH in tea.
And remember the primary issue. Compost tea is made with compost. And the tea made with the compost will NEVER be any better than the quality of the compost you start with.
If the compost you use to brew tea is not tea-quality compost, you're NEVER going to have very good tea. Why? Because there's more to tea than how many microbes are in the tea. The other side is DIVERSITY. How many DIFFERENT KINDS of microbes are growing in the tea. How does one grow a diverse population of microbes? By using a diverse set of foodstocks to make the compost.
Even if you started with tea-quality compost, if you just fill a sock or bag with the compost and drop it into a tank to steep - the microbes are going to stay in the compost. In case you didn't know, microbes make a sticky substance (exudate) so they stick to what they grow on.
Unless the microbes get violently SHAKEN into the open water, outside the containment, exponential reproduction is simply not going to occur - even with the right kinds and amounts of foods - unless you brew for several days.
The word 'violent' pertains to a microbe perspective. The other word used is 'agitated'. As in forced away from where they were stuck. Forcing air and water THROUGH the bag that holds the compost is one of the keys to successful tea brewing - mainly because you would not be willing to sit at tank-edge and constantly squeeze a bag of compost for many hours.
How long does it take to brew a good batch of tea? Considering that all other factors are optimized, the GENERALLY-ACCEPTED minimum time for a high-bacteria brew is 24 hours. This brew is usually called a "concentrate".
Double the brew-time to 48 hours (which means adding more microbe foods of certain types, in certain amounts, at certain times) provides greater opportunity for protozoa and fungi to reproduce. This brew is called a "super-concentrate".
At this writing, the longest brew time that I work with for AACT (Activated Aerated Compost Tea) is 72 hours. I call this "super-ex concentrate". The longest period of time that I have personally brewed compost tea? 8 days. That was to innoculate the water a newly-dug rainwater harvest pond in solid gumbo clay.
Brews longer than 24 hours can get complicated, because there are specific criteria which must be checked by electronic devices and a microscope, at set intervals; food levels must be controlled and oxygen must be maintaining the correct oxygen levels continuously is critical.
It is extremely important that such a brew NEVER be permitted to go anaerobic. Not even for a few minutes. In any brew, there are ALWAYS faculative microbes that can live in either an aerobic or anaerobic environment, which will attack aerobic microbes if the solution becomes even slightly anaerobic.
This kind of commercial-level tea is extremely powerful. Thousands of times more powerful than solid compost.
I'm not finished with trials at this writing, but it appears that this kind of tea is capable of curing a virus infection on a vegetable plant. Previously unheard of.
I'm working with a Texas County Agricultural Extension Agent in a trial of tomato plants that have been confirmed with Beet Curly-Top Virus. Texas A&M University has not released data yet from their lab tests, but already we've seen a 100% recovery rate of plants that had NO normal leaves - severe 'clubbing' - to full recovery with blossoms and fruit only two weeks after tea application. I'll provide a report after the A&M results have been published.
A lot of work is also being done to extend tea shelf-life. At this writing the accepted shelf life of compost tea in a sealed container is 4 hours, and that's with only filling the container 50% - and leaving a 50% air space. Why? Because the high concentration of microbes in the tea rapidly consume the oxygen in solution, which drives the liquid into anaerobic condition.
The more air in the container, the longer the microbes are capable of surviving. Many bacteria can simply "go dormant" when the oxygen level gets low - but many microbes (particularly fungi and protozoa) die because they are attacked by, and eaten by the faculative bacteria which suvive and thrive in anaerobic conditions.
This is a consideration when sending tea samples into a lab for analysis too. No matter how large the container, NEVER fill the container with tea, to more than 1/2 of capacity. ALWAYS leave a 1/2 air space.

Google tools gaffe let ZOMBIE web admins feast on websites
Google potentially allowed former web admins to drive corporate websites off a cliff by resurrecting deleted accounts for its webmaster tools service. Google Webmaster Tools accounts can be used by anyone to manage their websites, from checking the indexing of pages to fine-tuning their visibility in the dominant search engine. …
Google is always so careful with our data
I'm stunned this happened, stunned I say!
what does deleted mean?
If you just set a flag, it's not deleted.
Re: what does deleted mean?
Decades of being wheedled by incompetent users have convinced most developers to ensure that the "delete" button doesn't actually delete anything.
We've been conditioned to retain but flag because when the inevitable request to restore the data comes, it doesn't matter to the user that they clicked OK on the giant flashing "WARNING THIS WILL DELETE THIS INFORMATION WITH NO HOPE OF RECOVERY. CLICK OK ONLY IF YOU REALLY REALLY MEAN IT" message. As far as they're concerned, if the data can't be restored, it's our fault.
Re: what does deleted mean?
Or possibly they are following old-school Unix sysadmin practice, like disabling accounts for ex-members of staff instead of getting rid of them. Not sure why we need all those old /etc/passwd entries from accounts defunct ten years or more ago, but then, I only do Unix part-time.
Re: what does deleted mean?
No, you had it right on the first post. Too damn many users want data recoverable no matter what prior authorization they've given you to delete it.
Some years back when I was working a different help desk, one of the decision makers came to our sys admins with a backup of a single app from a server that was 6 years decommissioned, wiped, and thrown in the trash. They wanted to know if it could be restored because the data on it would help them bid a proposal we just received. By some miracle one of the sys admins was able to restore the data and allow the decision maker access to the data. (Not sure whether or not we won the bid.) This person at least acknowledged IT had been authorized to do away with the server and all its data. Too often its expected that you can restore it regardless of circumstances.
"Things like disavow link lists, de-index urls or the entire site, redirect urls, geolocation alterations… a whole world of pain."
Re: CAN!! YOU!! READ??
Yes, that bit's bad, you're right. And they do that through Google Analytics, do they?
It was a joke. If you can't make jokes about Google Analytics on the reg forums, then I don't kn- you can't? Right, I'll be off then
"put in a query to Google"
I do that all the time!

Two men accused of rape in Weare
James Cheney, 21, of 9 Snows Court, Dover, faces four counts of aggravated felonious sexual assault, two counts of simple assault, false imprisonment, criminal restraint and witness tampering. He was held on $25,000 cash bail at the Hillsborough County Jail in Manchester pending arraignment Monday.
Tyler Janvrin, 20, of 71 Daniels Road, Weare, was charged with two counts of aggravated felonious sexual assault, two counts of simple assault, false imprisonment, criminal restraint and witness tampering. He declined the services of a bail commissioner and was being held at the Hillsborough County Jail until his arraignment Monday. Janvrin was out on parole when he was arrested Friday.
Police said the woman was sexually assaulted Wednesday. Working with information from the victim, the involved hospital and other resources, police found Janvrin at his residence and took him into custody.

That the King, by his Proclamation, may also repeal the Restraint of Exportation - That Forestalling and Engrossing may be prohibited ; and an Addition to the Penalty for Exportation, be added, fit for this Time. - Not to have it carried into any other Nation, though not carried beyond Sea. - To prohibit Exportation of Fullers Earth, without which no Cloth can be made -
When he Attorney-general many Informations against Broggers, upon
5 Ed. VI. The poor Clothier petitioned hereupon, who can buy but of the Brogger. Thereupon he commanded to suffer no Informations to proceed against this Law. - Freedom of Trade a great Prejudice to this Commonwealth. - To re-commit it.

play upon them. - Desire, the Market in London may be restrained, from Friday and Thursday, to Thursday only; that they may go home, and be at home upon the Sabaoth, and keep it.
Master of the Wards : - To re-commit it: And, with this Bill, to consider of the Wools of Ireland. - That they are almost as good as here, and at half the Price. If no Prohibition of Transportation thence, all in vain.
Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer: - The Wool-grower well provided for; so the Merchant, and the Engrosser; but no Provision for the Clothier.
Mr. Wandesford: - That the Buyer may be restrained to sell only to the Clothier.
The Bill re-committed to the whole House, on Saturday next. All the Things moved, to be referred to the Committee.

BILLY BARTRAM, THE FAMED 18th-century botanist, recounted the legend of a group of hunters lost in the Okefenokee Swamp. They were, he wrote, ``unexpectedly relieved by a company of beautiful women whom they called `daughters of the sun,` who kindly gave them such provisions as they had with them, which were chiefly fruit -- oranges, dates, etc. -- and some corn cakes.``
Unfortunately, the beautiful ``daughters of the sun`` were just a figment of Bartram`s imagination. Not that he would have known for sure because he never even entered the swamp, just skirted the edges.

When people start talking against you. Means you are growing.
If you didn't hear it with your own ears or see it with your own eyes, don't invent it with your small mind and share it with your big mouth.
The Irish are a fair people – they never speak well of one another.
Avoid him who talks sweetly before you but tries to ruin you behind your back, for he is like a pitcher of poison with milk on top.

Early in the Ukraine crisis, when the Europeans were working on bringing Ukraine into the EU system and Vladimir Putin was countering with threats and bribes, one British analyst lamented that "we went to a knife fight with a baguette."
That was three months ago. Life overtakes parody. During the Ukrainian prime minister's visit to Washington last week, his government urgently requested military assistance. The Pentagon refused. It offered instead military ration kits.
Putin mobilizes thousands of troops, artillery and attack helicopters on Ukraine's borders and Washington counters with baguettes, American-style. One thing we can say for sure in these uncertain times: The invasion of Ukraine will be catered by the United States.
Why did we deny Ukraine weapons? Because in the Barack nObama-Hanoi John Kerry worldview, arming the victim might be taken as a provocation. This kind of mind-bending illogic has marked the administration's response to the whole Crimea affair.
Why, after all, did nObama delay responding to Putin's infiltration, military occupation and seizure of Crimea in the first place? In order to provide Putin with a path to de-escalation, "an offramp," the preferred White House phrase.
An offramp? Did they actually think that Putin was losing, that his invasion of Crimea was a disaster from which he needed some face-saving way out? It's delusional enough to think that Putin – in seizing Crimea, threatening eastern Ukraine, destabilizing Kiev, shaking NATO, terrifying America's East European allies and making the West look utterly helpless – was actually losing. But to imagine that Putin saw it that way as well and was waiting for American diplomacy to save him from a monumental blunder is totally divorced from reality.
After nObama's Russian "reset," missile-defense retreat and Syria comedown, Putin had already developed an undisguised disdain for his U.S. counterpart. Yet even he must have been amazed by this newest American flight of fantasy. Putin reclaims a 200-year-old Russian patrimony with hardly a shot and to wild applause at home – Putin's 72 percent domestic popularity is 30 points higher than nObama's – and America's leaders think he needs rescue?
Putin made it clear that he preferred Sevastopol to good reviews from the "international community." Yet nObama and Hanoi Kerry held off doing anything until the Crimean referendum – after which, they ominously threatened, there would be "consequences."
nObama unveiled them Monday in a four-minute statement as flat-toned as a legal notice in the classifieds. The consequences? Visa denial and frozen assets for 11 people, seven of them Russian.
Seven! Out of 140 million. No Putin. No Dmitry Medvedev. No oligarchs. Nor any of Putin's inner circle of ex-KGBers. No targeting of the energy sector or banks, Russia's industrial and financial lifeblood.
This elicited unreserved mockery from the targeted Russians themselves. One wondered whether the president's statement had been written by a prankster. The Duma voted that it should be sanctioned – all 353 members who'd voted for annexation. And the financial markets, which abhor disruptions and crave nothing but continuity, responded with relief: Russia's spiked 3.7 percent; the Dow Jones rose 1.1 percent (180 points).
Putin responded with appropriate contempt. Within hours he recognized Crimea's secession. The next day, he signed a treaty of annexation. (Two days later, nObama expanded the list of sanctioned Russians and added one bank. It will make no difference.)
Europe's response was weaker still, sanctioning a list of even lesser Russian functionaries. The irony is that for two decades we've encouraged Russia's integration into the world economic system – including nObama's strong support for Russian accession to the World Trade Organization – thinking those ties, and the threat of losing them, would restrain Russian behavior.
On the contrary. It restrained European behavior. Europe has refused to adopt any measure that might significantly affect its commerce and natural gas imports from Russia.
What's our excuse? We import no Russian gas and have minimal trade. Yet our president appears strangely disengaged. The post-Cold War order of Europe has been brazenly violated – and nObama is nowhere to be seen.
As I've argued here before, there are things we can do: Send the secretary of defense to Kiev tomorrow to negotiate military assistance. Renew the missile-defense agreement with Poland and the Czech Republic. Announce a new policy of major U.S. exports of liquefied natural gas. Lead Europe from the front – to impose sanctions cutting off Russian enterprises from the Western banking system.
As we speak, Putin is deciding whether to go beyond Crimea and take eastern Ukraine. Show him some seriousness, Mr. President. I doubt he will do that, Charles.

Wait till you hear about nObama and Hanoi Kerry said about Iran's nuclear promise. They both are saying Iran's nuclear is for peace. After so many words against Israel. They are not idiots, they are stupid. The world knows different and these two dummies say otherwise.
Obama is making the mess a bigger mess.
We've seen this before. Weakness invites bullies and wars start like this. Hunker down! The idiots in charge are at it again.

Associated Press
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) -- In 2009, the United States gave Wazhma Frogh the International Woman of Courage award for her women's rights activism in Afghanistan. Prominently displayed in Frogh's office is a picture of then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton granting her the award as First Lady Michelle Obama smiles, clapping by her side.
Four years later, the United States denied her a visa when she was trying to get away from an Afghan militia commander who she says was persecuting her.
For Frogh, the experience underlined the state of the women's rights movement in her country. Thirteen years after the fall of the Taliban, billions of dollars have been spent, the West and the Afghan government have offered countless words of support, yet the successes that have been achieved remain vulnerable. Ultimately, women still have nowhere to turn when their battle for equal rights puts them on the firing line, she said.
"They give you an award but they don't support you when you need them," she told The Associated Press. "I always thought that if my government didn't help me I would always be able to turn to the United States. I never thought that they would turn their back on me."
Gains have been made. Gone are the rules imposed by the Taliban forcing women to wear the all-encompassing burqa and barring girls from school. Now, as many as 4 million girls are in school, and women sit in Afghanistan's parliament.
But Frogh and other women's rights activists said those changes, while important, are superficial. Women's equality was a priority when the memory of the Taliban was fresh, but over the years the commitment has waned. It became a mantra recited by the Afghan government and non-government organizations to get international funding, and a flag for Western governments to wave as a symbol of success over the Taliban, said Frogh and Afghan parliamentarian, Fawzia Koofi.
"Women's rights is the most politicized issue in Afghanistan, before even talks with the Taliban, and I am not happy with it," said Koofi, referring to the Afghan government's attempts to negotiate with Taliban insurgents, raising women activists' fears authorities will compromise on their rights if necessary to reach a deal.
Koofi said she is proud and grateful for the successes, but "after 13 years I am still being forced to ask for my basic rights."
Many of the victories have major caveats. Girls are back in school, but most are pulled out by their families as they near puberty to ready them for marriage, she said.
A hard-fought Law on the Elimination of Violence against Women was passed. More women are reporting cases of abuse and are aware of their right to speak out, said Georgette Gagnon, director of Human Rights with the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan.
But, she said, few cases make it to court and prosecution is rare. Instead most end up in mediation, often through jirgas -- a traditional council of elders -- or other community councils, which rarely work in favor of the woman.
"Often this mediation doesn't fully protect woman's rights and often leads to more violence against the woman," said Gagnon.
The few Afghan businesswomen are paraded as success stories, while women are still having their lips cut off for perceived offenses, as happened recently in northern Afghanistan, said Frogh.
More than 80 percent of the women in prisons are jailed for so-called "moral crimes," like leaving an abusive husband. Shelters for abused women have been set up, but most men in conservative Afghanistan, even those in the Ministry of Interior, see shelters as "immoral," and women who seek sanctuary there are often banished from their communities, Frogh said.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai's first Cabinet featured five female members, the next only two. The quota for women in district councils was 25 percent, but has been reduced to 20 percent. The government set up a Women's Affairs Ministry but doesn't give it the money to hire the staff it needs.
Frogh's Women Peace and Security Research Institute works with the Interior Ministry to get more women in ministry jobs and holds training sessions with policewomen, many of whom face sexual harassment. Frogh counsels women on their rights, and her institute compiles statistics and researches abuses against women.
Last year, she tried to go temporarily to the U.S. to gain some distance from a militia commander who she says was terrorizing her after she identified him in a report to NATO as a repetitive rights violator.
