RV Holding Tanks and Sensors
With all of the electronics on today's coaches, it is important to keep the electronic holding tank sensors operating properly so that they read accurately. If they become fouled with debris or solid waste matter that clings to them from inside the tank, accurate tank level readings may be adversely affected causing the coach owner not to know how full the tanks actually are. This might cause serious problems such as inadvertent tank overflow, therefore it is important to keep these sensors clean. This can be accomplished by the following procedure:
Before driving to a destination at least 20 miles away, drain both the gray and black water holding tanks. Then fill both tanks about one third full with clean water. Add about 1/3rd to 1/2 cup of Blue Dawn Dishwashing Detergent to each tank. Add the detergent to the black tank via the toilet and to the gray tank through the kitchen sink. Flush enough water after adding the detergent so that all the detergent goes into the tank.....probably about a gallon. Then drive to your destination. When you reach your destination, drain both tanks. This procedure will help clean the tank sensors and lubricate the dump valves.
Note: You may have to repeat this procedure several times to really get the sensors clean.

Animal sciences professor featured in youth science magazine
As professor and associate head of animal sciences, Eric Berg typically educates university students in his field. However, he recently had the chance to inspire a younger audience.
Berg was featured in the article "Meet a Meat Scientist!" in the January 2013 issue of Jr. Animal Scientist. The magazine is offered as part of a Jr. Animal Scientist program membership through the American Society of Animal Science. The program is offered to children ages 5 to 12 who are interested in learning about science and the animal world.
The article discussed Berg's education, background with animals and how he became interested in meat science. He also provided some advice to those interested in the field. "Animal science is the best major because it goes into what animals eat and how it affects their physiology," Berg said. "Animal science offers the chance for students to learn by doing and gain hands-on experience."

Thomas Gladish
Thomas Gladish and three co-defendents were sentenced to death in 1974 in Albuquerque and exonerated in 1976
Thomas Gladish and three co-defendants (Richard Greer, Ronald Keine, and Clarence Smith) were sentenced to death for the kidnaping and murder of a college student in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
The prosecution's key witness was a motel maid who claimed she saw the defendants, who were members of a Los Angeles motorcycle gang, commit the crime.
Sixteen months after the trial, a drug-addicted drifter walked into a South Carolina police station and confessed that he had committed the murder. He identified the murder weapon, which it turned out he had stolen from the father of his former girlfriend.
The eyewitness subsequently acknowledged that she fabricated her trial testimony under pressure from police and prosecutors. The four were exonerated and released. An investigation by the Detroit News was instrumental in the exonerations. The wrongfully convicted men and the victim all were Caucasian.

Wax Vac is one of those products that are really designed to make life easier. Most of us know just how much of an 'issue' ear wax can turn out to be. Most of us also agree that it can be very unpleasant to have water in the ear (say, after swimming or some other such activity). Focusing on ear wax for a moment, things tend to get more complicated when we learn that doctors actually discourage the use of cotton swabs in the ears. Yet those cotton swabs are all we have had for many years, in terms of implements that would help us remove wax from our ears. Many of us have subsequently found ourselves wishing that there was some sort of gadget that could simply suck the wax out of our ears. Many have also wished that there was a similar sort of gadget that would simply suck out any water that happened to get into the ear. And now, these wishes have been granted: thanks to Wax Vac!
Click Here For Wax Vac Review On Amazon.com
So what exactly does Wax Vac do?
Well, Wax Vac is designed to help the user get rid of excess wax from the ears, by sucking it out. It is also designed to suck out any water that happens to get into the ear. Wax Vac does these things gently, so it is pleasant (actually kind of pleasurable) to use on the ear. Thanks to Wax Vac, you have a chance to avoid the embarrassment of having ears that are too waxy — without having to use cotton swabs, which have the potential of messing up with the eardrums, leading to hearing loss. Thanks to Wax Vac, you can gently suck out any water that gets into the ears, causing you great discomfort. Notably, before the arrival of Wax Vac into the market, you'd have nothing much to do about this problem of water in the ears.
What makes Wax Vac ideal?
Several things make Wax Vac ideal, including its:
The first thing that makes Wax Vac ideal is its efficacy at removing ear wax. Suffice it to say that this gadget really works. However thick or loose the wax in your ears may be, Wax Vac is sure to suck it out. It helps too, that by default, this gadget is designed to suck enough wax to make you neat and comfortable, without sucking too much too deep in the ear to leave the ear exposed to things from outside. In other words, the gadget is designed to ensure that, by default, the natural role that ear wax is supposed to play doesn't get messed up with. Still, if you want to suck out all wax, you can do so using Wax Vac.
The second thing that makes Wax Vac ideal is its safety-oriented design. One of the reasons as to why doctors discourage the use cotton swabs is in the fact that there is always the possibility of the swab going too deep, and damaging the inner parts of the ear. To ensure that this unfortunate scenario doesn't play out, Wax Vac comes with a well-designed guard.
The third thing that makes Wax Vac ideal is its almost noise-free nature. This means that it is not unpleasant to use around the ear, and you can use it to clean kids' ears without scaring the kids.
Power efficiency:
The fourth thing that makes Wax Vac ideal is its power-efficiency. Wax Vac is battery powered. It turns out to be one of those devices that use batteries very slowly. It is the sort of a device you almost come to forget are batter powered, because having installed batteries in it, you can go for very long without having to change the batteries.
At yet another level, you notice that Wax Vac is very convenient to use. It is notable, for instance, that the designers of Wax Vac have created silicon caps for it (it comes with eight). Each cap comes with a unique color, to ensure that they don't get mixed up. This ensure that every member of the average family gets his or her own cap: no sharing here. The machine is also very easy to clean, and it comes with its own brush for the purpose. And as we mentioned earlier, using it is so easy: you just place it next to the ear, turn it on, and the suction starts – nothing else is required of you.

The question is an old and classic one. Folks like John Howard Yoder have suggested that the question, as practical as it is, is a false place to start.

BROWNSVILLE - Plans for a new university in the Rio Grande Valley are set to be unveiled.
A bill signed into law by Gov. Rick Perry in June creates a new University of Texas institution by merging the University of Texas-Pan American and the University of Texas at Brownsville. A new medical school will also be created.
At events in Edinburg and Brownsville on Tuesday, Perry will be joined by lawmakers and university leadership to ceremonially sign the bill.
University officials are also set to discuss a timeline for the creation of the new university.
Supporters of the bill have said the new university, and most notably the medical school, are critically needed to serve the education and health care needs in the region along the Texas-Mexico border.

Schooling in the age of austerity : urban education and the struggle for democratic life

Summary: "Schooling in the Age of Austerity examines the fragmentation of human security in urban public schools and lives of young people amid escalating global economic volatility and domestic social polarization. In accessible and vivid language, Means confronts how neoliberal restructuring and crisis have contributed to the fraying of the urban social contract, processes of violence and criminalization, and the erosion of the educative and human development capacity of urban public schools serving historically disadvantaged and marginalized communities. Through an ethnographic case study in a low-income and racially segregated neighborhood and public high school in the city of Chicago, Means highlights the voices and experiences of educators and young people living and working at the margins of the new urban geography. Despite precarious conditions, Means demonstrates that there exists a wealth of positive social relations, knowledge, and desire for change among educators, youth, and communities that can be built upon and nurtured in order to develop more ethical and restorative approaches to urban schooling and for promoting more secure and equitable democratic futures for young people"-- Provided by publisher.

Keywords: Main beach house and adjacent guest house with dipping pool
As Canadians living in Montreal, we were looking for a place in the sun to spend winter vacations with family and friends. After visiting Costa Rica and going up and down the Pacific coast of Nicaragua, we found this lovely, quiet beach and decided to build a home where we could be in close communion with the sea and the stars!...hence Quinta Mar y Estrellas. We are happy to make it available to vacationers seeking a relaxing beach vacation in a country as yet relatively undiscovered by tourists.
The advantage of staying in our part of the coast, as opposed to popular developed areas such as San Juan del Sur, is the opportunity to live with the Nicaraguan people and to experience their way of life. Shopping in the market, participating in a village hipica on a Sunday and deep-sea fishing with the locals will introduce you to some of the most friendly and serene people we have met in our travels, in spite of their tumultuous history and relative poverty.
Easy day trips also allow you to discover the natural beauty of Nicaragua's volcanoes, typical towns and villages and authentic handicrafts, as well as its beautiful colonial cities, Granada and León.
We had a great vacation. Warm climate, gorgeous sunsets, relaxed atmosphere, side trips...The stay in Huehuete was very pleasant, the houses are beautiful and welcoming. We recommend the nice long beach walks...

Customer Ratings:
This product does not make my skin matte at all. If anything, it makes it appear MORE shiny. I do like that it's very light, easy to apply, has SPF, and doesn't break me out. I just wish the name wasn't so misleading. I'm still on the hunt for a good moisturizer with SPF that doesn't break me out AND mattifies.
I like the fluid texture of this moisturizer, and after using it a month it hasn't caused breakouts. It didn't mattify my oily skin though which is why I wanted to try it. I was hoping this product would eliminate the need for the shine stopper product so I could have a multi tasking product that moisturizes & mattifies at the same time. I am not sure it is worth it to buy this again when my less expensive drugstore moisturizer works just as well with shine stopper.
Thanks for your review! We will likely be changing the name of this product as customer feedback had leaned in favor of this not being as mattifying as the name implies (oddly, our panel testing had different results, hence the current name). We always appreciate the feedback!
I use the Clear Extra Strength line (SO MUCH LOVE) and it actually dries out my very oily skin. I was hoping this moisturizer would feel light as well as soothe my skin from the daily BHA/BP bombardment but unfortunately it doesn't do the trick. I need to apply a heavy cream afterwards in order to keep my face from feeling tight (but at least the cystic acne is gone)! Also, it goes on light, but it is super shiny and it DOESN'T work as a foundation primer. Can you make this in a Gel version?
I really have zero complaints about this product, but for me it was not mattifying. As a light weight sunscreen it is great. I will continue to use it, I just won't use it on days when I need to wear make-up and not shine. It didn't break me out or sting. If I didn't have such an oily face it would probably work great. I won't say this product didn't work, I will just say it didn't work for me.
This does not make your face matte...however this product is amazing. The skin balancing moisturizer was much harder to spread because it seemed to grip at my skin, this texture is so silky smooth and leaves your skin soft as if you aren't wearing anything! No tacky finish - just soft and moisturized. I like the slightly shiny finish because it looks like i'm wearing a highlighter, my cheekbones seem to pop with this!
lightweight, yes. but too shiny, and would have to follow with foundation after bec it's not tinted. will be going back to the ultralight spf.
Great product! Anything underneath needs to be in a very light layer though. A light dusting of mineral veil over top and it's perfect on my normal skin (oily nose.) This is the first chemical sunscreen that I have found that I can use on my face w/no stinging. Please make this in a water resistant formula. The only place I cannot use it is the lash line because heat makes it move into my eye and this is a first time for this issue for me. Overall, it's wonderful and I'm glad they made it.
This sunscreen is very thin and lightweight - I can slather it on and it rubs in well. It leaves my face feeling moisturized not tight. I use the extra strength clear set to keep my adult acne in check (another LOVE). It does look a bit shiny at first, however, I put it on first thing (before I get dressed, make coffee, etc.). I love to put a full face of make up on, and this does require a bit of powder on my t-zone. Purchase sample size - lasts about 2 weeks to try and then buy!
I ordered the sample size of this product, and so far it is my go-to moisturizer of the summer! I apply it with a cotton pad every morning. It wears weightlessly, and has helped fade red marks from old breakouts. A matte finish is not super important to me, as my skin is not excessively oily, just very temperamental. Happy to say that it gets along well with this "fluid."
I love the texture of this, it goes on wonderfully, it feels light on my face, and is mattifying but the strong sunscreen odor is really bothering me and is a deal breaker.
I have oily dehydrated skin, so it's really hard to find a sunscreen that works for me. They're all either too heavy and greasy on me, or too drying. None of the other Paula's Choice sunscreens worked for me, but this one is perfect! It's extremely lightweight but still adds just enough moisture to my skin. It's not really mattifying, but I use powder throughout the day anyway so I don't mind. I love this and will continue to purchase it.
I was on the fence about purchasing this product because I was so disappointed in the feel and texture of the PC skin balancing ultra-sheer daily defense. As soon as I received my order, I tried a little on the back of my hand. WOW! This is everything that I've been wanting in a daily sunscreen. It has a light and smooth texture that dries down to nothing. Seriously, nothing. I could only tell I had it on my skin by the slight, but completely inoffensive smell of the sun screen ingredients. LOVE
This sunscreen is a great option for those who are prone to break-outs, as I am. But it does not leave skin with a matte finish. I've been using it for a few weeks with the hopes of a way to control shine on very humid days. It hasn't helped at all with that. But I have not had any breakouts as with many other sun screens. I really did purchase it because of the matte finish so I will not be purchasing again.
This is a fairly good sunscreen which doesn't clog pores. However, it is in no way mattifying. In fact, it leaves skin looking very shiny.
I have only been using it for a few days now, but I think I might love it! Sunscreen is always a ++ in a daily moisturizer for me. My trouble areas for acne are my nose and mostly my chin. My chin has cleared up pretty quickly in the last few days, and using this has been my only change in routine. It is super lightweight, easy to put makeup over. It might not mattify for the more oily skin types (as others have pointed out) but it works for me. Some powder mid-day and I'm good to go. Thanks PC!
I really like the products I have from Paula's Choice..except this one. This isn't mattifying at all! My face is so greasy and shiney after using this!
Pretty much everything is great: Gentle (never stings my eyes), hydrating, good for sensitive skin, with spf benefits! I think more is better for sun protection, and I lather a TON of this product on every morning. It does look a bit greasy/shiny at first, but then I have breakfast, get dressed, and by the time I come back to do my makeup, it has completely absorbed into my skin. Will continue to use!
I have tried so many different brands and types of moisturizers and sunscreen and just couldn't find one which works for me. There is only one type which I have been using for the past 10 years or so which is OK but that is very greasy and sort of worsen my oily skin condition and having a greasy face throughout the whole day is not doing my acne problem any good at all. For this product, I can reapply a 2nd time during mid-day to maintain the sun protection without the greasiness, just great!
Paula and her team have outdone themselves with this sunscreen. I've tried most of PC sunscreens and I like them all for various reasons, but this one is the closest I've found of any brand to feeling like I have nothing on my skin. Extremely light, absorbs right in and leaves my skin looking completely natural and not tacky. Well done Paula! I'm now addicted to this one!
-doesn't clog pores
-doesn't sting sensitive areas
-no lasting sunscreen smell
-no white cast
-sits well under makeup
-pills very easily (every time I rub my nose sunscreen flakes off)
-UVA protection leaves a lot to be desired as typical of US sunscreens
-doesn't mattify - I actually have dry skin and it leaves me a bit shiny for the rest of the day
I find it okay to use on days when I get very little sun exposure. I prefer sunscreens with higher SPF and PPD however.
Thought I would give this a try but very disappointed with the finish -- too shiny, kind of stings and I'm not really fond of the runny consistency. I prefer the Hydralight Shine-Free Daily Mineral Complex SPF30 or the Resist Super-Light Daily Wrinkle Defense SPF30 so I will be going back to those products for facial suncreens.
I tend to agree with most of the other reviews that while this is a really nice product it is absolutely not mattifying at all, and i don't even have very oily skin!! it has a really nice smooth light weight texture and actually feels soothing for a chemical sunscreen but within an hour or so the oily parts of my skin start to feel oily and look shiny. It really would be the perfect sunscreen if it just had more oil absorbing qualities!!
A sunscreen that i can trust! i was reluctant to wear sunscreen as it left my face greasy and uncomfortable all day. i have a medium skin tone and it doesn't leave a white cast at all. i tried the sample first and will definitely buy full size.
This sunscreen has a thin, runny consistency that makes it easy to apply. It did not irritate my skin at all, even near the eye area. Sadly, the deal-breaker for me is that it does not mattify and turns my t-zone into an oil slick. I do love it on no-makeup days and think it would be awesome for anyone who hates the tacky feel of sunscreen and who also doesn't wear makeup. I also love the trial-size packaging - very handy for those necessary midday reapplications.
I really like this moisturizer. it's very like and non pore clogging. Please Paula make one without spf so I can use over retun a at night. I tried a sample of the resist hydrator over the retin a and it balled up. So sad. But this is perfect.
What makes this product unique?
If you have oily, breakout-prone skin, Clear Ultra-Light Daily Fluid SPF 30+ is the daytime moisturizer with sunscreen you've been waiting for! Specially formulated with advanced dispersion technology, this first-of-its-kind lotion has a water-light, fluid texture that's unbelievably weightless and provides high daily broad-spectrum sun protection that keeps your skin clear, smooth, and healthy.
Its non-greasy, liquid texture sets to a soft finish that minimizes the appearance of pores and keeps excess shine in check. A blend of soothing, plant-based antioxidants works to fade red marks and stimulate collagen production for firmer, younger-looking skin. Ideal for use under makeup (so you can skip the foundation primer) and gentle enough for use around the eyes.
Who is this product for?
Clear Ultra-Light Daily Fluid SPF 30+ is for anyone with breakout-prone skin who wants a moisturizer with sunscreen that feels super-light, and keeps excess oil in check while minimizing enlarged pores. Ideal for those struggling with oily skin, enlarged pores, and signs of aging.

The bad old days are here again. The New York Yankees, as is their five-year tradition, are spending money like only the New York Yankees can. The Brian McCann signing isn't even official yet (press event Thursday) and now the Yankees have signed Jacoby Ellsbury to a seven-year contract reportedly worth more than $150 million dollars. US dollars. Legal tender.
The new big dollar Yankees won't look like the swaggering Yankees of old. The days of the four-hour slugfest might be over, as the Yankees give top dollar to a speed and defense center fielder with just 13 home runs over the last two seasons. Even without traditional home run power, Jacoby Ellsbury authored two of the best non-Trout seasons of the past few years. His 15 Wins Above Replacement from 2011 to now rank him third among CFs, trailing only Andrew McCutchen and Mike Trout. Go back two more years and he still ranks sixth.
There are significant injuries in his past, injuries suffered under freakish circumstances. The Yankees don't appear too concerned, about injury history or speedy players aging or the luxury tax or anything, really. The Yankees want to win the World Series again and are going to bring in as many good players as they can get their hands on to do so. Ellsbury's skills should play well at Yankee Stadium, with its short porch boosting his power numbers and his center field speed saving the Yanks runs in the expansive left field power alley. He's patient and battle tested in the AL East, a winner of two World Series rings and the one reliable Red Sock during the famous September collapse of 2011.
Which isn't to say this Ellsbury deal doesn't offer all manner of risk and the ample opportunity to go sideways right from the start. With most moves made this year, I try to think from the team's perspective. To think positively about the possibilities the moves presents. If Ellsbury ages even as well as Shane Victorino, the Yankees can come out ahead by winning. But the potential for injury-shortened years of years without power and walks somewhere in the future. A future of a former speed guy playing left field until his contract runs out so he can go home.
The dollars mean different things to different teams. For all the attention the Yankees devotion to the $189MM luxury tax got this winter, it sure looks like superficial foreplay ahead of this buying spree. No contract is untradeable and the Yankees merely lay in wait before reloading with the one thing they have more than anybody else – money. Sitting through the Vernon Wells experience is a door prize for those willing to wait for the big ticket items to arrive.
The Yankees have money to throw at the luxury tax and don't really care about losing two draft picks (recent history suggests they wouldn't make much of those picks anyway) but the Yankees have money to throw at their problems and good money to throw after bad should the situation arise. They're the Yankees – if they aren't operating this way, something is missing from the baseball ecosystem.
The other teams in the American League East will take notice. The Red Sox merry band of bearded superfriends worked for one year, Boston struck when the Yankees were at their most vulnerable. The Rays will keep smoking resin and the Orioles and Blue Jays sure hope the national TV deal checks keep coming through. The tide rises, everybody better get on board if they don't want to drown.
Of course, we've been here before. The Red Sox blew their brains out spending money after the 2010 season, bringing in known commodities and good players at long-term market deals, deals that got worse by the day until the team unceremoniously dumped that dead money on the Dodgers. The Sox, of course, picked themselves up and promptly won the World Series 15 months later. Noting is forever, not even contracts that seem that way as the ink dries.
The Yankees still have serious deficiencies in other areas but here we are again – the bad old days. Back again. And they aren't finished yet, not by a long shot. Things are only going to get better. Or worse. But probably both.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — An Iowa man who was pulled over for speeding as he rushed his pregnant wife to the hospital said he was determined to keep going despite the police lights flashing behind him.
Tyler Rathjen planned to keep going as his wife, Ashley, began giving birth to their son in the passenger seat. But a red light with heavy traffic finally forced him to stop.
"I should not stop, I'm not going to, I'm going to get to the hospital," Tyler Rathjen recalled thinking in an interview with Cedar Rapids TV station KCRG.
The baby's head and arms were already out by the time Iowa City Officer Kevin Wolfe reached the passenger door.
"We were all having a different experience," Wolfe said.
Ashley Rathjen gave birth to her third son, Owen, just blocks from Mercy Iowa City hospital on March 10.
"I kept saying: there's no break (in contractions) there's no break," she said. "He was coming at that time."
Wolfe helped with the final steps of delivery and then escorted the Williamsburg family to the hospital. His dashboard camera captured the episode.
Owen is now home with his parents and two brothers.
Ashley Rathjen said her newborn son will probably retell the story for years to come.
"I'm sure it will be a life story to tell everybody (about) how he made his grand entrance," she said.

Magento: Quick way to create order invoice programmatically
Here is a quick and easy way to create order invoice programmatically.
Suppose, $_order contains your order.
Here goes the code to create invoice:-
if($_order->canInvoice()) { /** * Create invoice * The invoice will be in 'Pending' state */ $invoiceId = Mage::getModel('sales/order_invoice_api') ->create($_order->getIncrementId(), array()); $invoice = Mage::getModel('sales/order_invoice') ->loadByIncrementId($invoiceId); /** * Pay invoice * i.e. the invoice state is now changed to 'Paid' */ $invoice->capture()->save(); }
That's all. Your invoice for the order is created. Isn't that easy :)
Hope this helps. Thanks.

Remember when "binge" was a word we didn't take lightly? Formerly, it applied to individuals straying into saloons or meeting with bad company and succumbing to more beverages than originally intended. Despite advice from embroidered samplers or wise elders, Moderation In All Things proved impossible just then. Such incidents were also called "sprees" (crime sprees were likewise deplorable--unlike shopping sprees, which are somehow cute. But I digress.) While admitting the dangers of bingeing with drink or food, we recognize how perfectly that word encapsulates excess. So we borrow it for blithely self-confessed (thus excusable) overindulgences of all sorts. At Book Expo America this year, "binge-reading potential" was applied as a compliment for any author whose latest book keeps readers turning the pages well into the night or whose series tempt fans to consume one book after the other, like bon-bons. The phrase would be music to authors' ears; for readers, it places us in good company. At my house, the sampler would read "Moderation Except Books, Chocolate, and Guacamole." But I don't embroider--I read. And lately my husband and I have also binge-watched House of Cards, thanks to the library's Season One DVD collection. The only reason we haven't zoomed through Season Two in a shockingly brief time span is that we're too frugal to buy the set and are waiting to borrow the library's copy. Happily, delayed gratification isn't an issue with two forthcoming novels: Jane Smiley's Some Luck and Deborah Harkness' trilogy-concluding The Book of Life. Both copies accompanied me home from Book Expo. Those of us fortunate to receive Harkness' book were asked not to comment on the story until July 15, so I won't (just know that you will not be disappointed.)But here is the irresistible premise of Some Luck: First of The Last Hundred Years trilogy, the story spans 1920 to 1953, each chapter depicting one year in the life of the Langdons, an Iowa farm family. The trilogy will end with 2020: 100 years, 100 chapters. Incisively viewing social history as the Langdon's five children experience it, the story also brilliantly conveys family dynamics: parental preferences and expectations, implications of birth order, etc. Smiley's gift for interweaving both telling private moments and large-scale events produces an immersive reading experience.And that's the problem-at least for me. Deeply engaged with the characters in Some Luck, I devoured it, staying up late one night and (thank goodness for weekends) resuming reading the next day, finishing before lunch. I wasn't prepared to part with the Langdons yet, but I couldn't restrain myself from following their fortunes as far as I could as soon as I could.And now, the interval before the second book will be even longer because this was an advance reading copy. What do we learn from my example? Probably nothing: I defy you to pace yourself sedately when you get your hands on Some Luck (which may happen for you sooner than the October publication; we'll be offering the autographed ARC as a drawing prize on Facebook sometime in the next couple of weeks).

I just got soil test results for my bog garden:
I'm trying to raise Sarracenia purpurea, Platanthera blephariglottis, Calopogon tuberosus, Spiranthes cernua, Pogonia ophioglossoides, and Platanthera grandiflora.
I'm hoping this constitutes a nutrient poor bog. I only water with rain water, and the area is surrounded by drainage so that no groundwater enters the bog. I'm worried that I started with sand that contained too much nutrients.
My question is - are the P, K, Ca, and Mg levels too high?
The testing was done by the CT Agricultural Experiment Station - they test for a standard list of elements. Should I do additional testing for different nutrients?
Any suggestions or comments?

|Just what is High or Medium High? You really need a scalar reading and compare that reading to what is expected in regular garden soil for example. You probably should have all elements at the low end of the scale.
I would add in more peat moss so that you get around 30% sand and 70% peat. Also if you can afford to do so get a r/o system and use that water as it tends to be acidic with almost no salts inclusion at all.
Also you can try testing the bog by trying to grow live sphagnum moss in it. It is availabe as Live Sphagnum Moss on eBay.
How large is your bog??
|I wish I knew what High and Medium High meant. I expected a scalar reading from the the Agricultural Experiment Station. I'm sending them an Email to see what they mean. As soon as I find out, I'll post again.
It's pretty hard to switch the Peat/Sand ratio now, but if I need to rework it, I'll keep that in mind.
I'll look into getting some live sphagnum moss. I was planning on it, just haven't got that far yet.
I have an R/O system for drinking water, but I haven't been using that since I thought the rain water was better???
The bog is about 6 feet by 8 feet, and about 2 feet deep. I followed the specialized bog garden design given here:
Back to my original question with a slight modification - What should my P, K, Ca, and Mg levels be?
|I found out the the test results are from the Morgan Soil Testing System. I downloaded a document that details the testing system, but haven't had a chance to review it and see how to convert the results into more quantitative units.
- Posted by terrestrial_man 9 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Sat, May 14, 11 at 20:45
|Maybe this will help??
Here is a link that might be useful: bog hydrology
I have an idea for growing carnivorous plants and sphagnum moss in a nutrient-rich marsh - will this likely work?
On top of the mud, pile 6" of peat-moss and sand then plant the carnivorous plants and sphagnum moss. I suppose the roots will penetrate down the 6" of peat moss before hitting the nutrient rich saturated soil; then probably not extend deeper. This would be like a floating-mat is in nature: that you have a mass of slowly decaying wood at the edge of a swamp - the swamp seems to be nutrient-rich, black mud, etc... but the plants are insulated from the nutrients as they are rooted in the mass that towers over the water-level and apparently doesn't readily soak up the nutrients.
So, does this sound like it would work?

At the beginning of this month I was stoked to help cover the STS9 at The Palladium in Hollywood. Not only have I not seen Sound Tribe in years, I have never been to The Palladium before and heard it was a great venue. We arrived just after Tycho's set and just as the guys were revving up their first set of the night. The lighting design was on point and I could already see the huge grins worn by the people grooving to STS9's jamtronica sounds of the evening.
The night was building up as "Hidden Hand Hidden Fist" played. Hunter Brown's smooth groovy guitar pierced The Palladium air as Jeffree Lerner got the place bouncing to his organic percussion beats. I was soon aware of Phipp's breakdowns and buildups on the keyboard as Murphy gave us some funky sexy bass during "Looking Back on Earth." The spacey sounds of Sound Tribe's tracks along with the featured visualizer of rocket ships and comets hurtling through the atmosphere really made you feel like you were being transported into another galaxy.
The first set winded down with huge synth sounds, rolling snares, and accented high harmonic notes during EHM. How something can sound that pretty and badass at the same time is beyond me. At intermission attendees packed themselves like sardines in a tin can in the smoking patio; filling the area with smoke, laughter, and non-sensical ramblings.
Once we got back inside the funk was in full effect with the track Bigs and the 808s were cranked up towards the end to give a little trap flavor to STS9's set. There is nothing like hyphy original trap to get you pumped up for the rest of your night. Their next track "GLOgli" gave some smooth blues and R & B soul as sultry vocals swept the track up in a flurry and Murphy started taking his bass for a long walk. The synth buildups drove the song up to space and back down to orbit once again until I heard them lead up into their next song which sounded strangely similar…
They started playing their own version of Daft Punk's "Robot Rock" and the whole crowd went crazy. Un-abandoned recognition filled the air as people were jumping to the robotic vocals. The track moved fluidly into the next song which kept up the hyped energy, that is until The Palladium had a power shortage and abruptly cut the song in two. People were a little unnerved that the power cut out during such a joyous song, and I found it a perfect break to go and grab a beer.
The line was surprisingly short, although I suppose other fans were waiting in anticipation for the song to pick back up. As soon as I was next in line, the guys from STS9 apologized profusely and started playing March right where they left off, like nothing ever happened. I found myself tapping my feet while waiting impatiently in line to join the crowd, who were raging out to the song
The rest of their set was filled with a range of sounds, including their signature full synth builds, funky groves, wailing guitar, and fluid percussion beats. You could definitely feel that the members of STS9 have been playing shows together for quite some time. Their ability to groove together and pick up where each other left off was smooth like butter. I found myself at the end of the night yearning for more live grooves and preparing my patience for their new album and next return.
