Porsche announces all-wheel drive 911 Carrera 4 and 4S
Porsche has announced the launch of all-wheel drive models of its 911 Carrera 4 and 4S sportscars, including an engine, gearbox and drivetrain makeover that the company claims delivers up to 8.5% more power, 12.5% better gas mileage, and over 15% less CO2 emissions than the models they replace.

New Porsche Cayenne Turbo S debuts in Beijing
April 21, 2008 With an output of 550 hp (404 kW) and a top speed of 280kmh (174mph), the new Porsche Cayenne which premiered at Auto China 2008 in Beijing is the most powerful model in the company's SUV range to date. Capable of achieving zero to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds, the twin-turbo, 4.8 liter V8 S model gains the edge over the standard Turbo model via a modified exhaust system and improvements in engine control that have also resulted in an increase in maximum torque by 50 Nm to 750 Nm (available between 2,250 and 4,500 rpm). Marked by 21 inch SportPlus alloy wheels, a four-pipe sports exhaust system and an exclusive "lava gray metallic" paint option, plus a host of standard interior goodies from memory seating to a touch-screen operated multimedia system, the Turbo S will be introduced from August 2008 at an expected basis price of EUR 111,400.

January 8, 2008 Porsche has announced a hybrid drive version of the forthcoming four-door Gran Turismo Porsche Panamera. The hybrid Panamera will use the components of the Cayenne Hybrid expected in 2009 and is an interesting technical solution as the hybrid module can disengage either the combustion engine or the electric motor, or combine both drive systems as one joint power unit. Thus the Panamera hybrid will be able to be driven in a number of different modes ranging from all-electric through to the muscle car sporting style of motoring so typical of a Porsche. Read More
2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 to top 200mph - NEW IMAGES
Chevrolet has announced details of the 2009 Corvette ZR1 with the promise of an American supercar that will establish new benchmarks for production-based power and performance. Coming almost two decades after the official launch of the Corvette ZR1 at the Geneva Auto Show way back in 1989, the 2009 ZR1 features a long list of specialized components that include extensive use of carbon-fiber paneling and an all-new LS9 supercharged 6.2L V-8 that's expected to punch out 620 horsepower (462 kW) with around 595 lb.-ft. of torque (823 Nm). Though full performance specs will not be released until the summer 2008 launch draws closer, predictions are that the new ZR1 will be the first production Corvette to achieve a top speed of at least 200 mph, making it the the most powerful and fastest automobile ever produced by General Motors and giving it the muscle to claim dominance over international competition like the Porsche 911 GT2, the Ferrari 599 and the Lamborghini LP640.

Porsche announces modern interpretation of 1960s racecar
In case you ever wondered, the word "Spyder" simply refers to a sporty, "speedy" convertible. It harks back to the days of horse-drawn carriages where it was used to describe small, light two-seater carriages with a simple folding sunshade on top secured by four bows that looked like, well a spider sitting on top of the carriage. The name has made its way through into the auto business, and has been particularly popular on Euro sportsters with the latest example from Porsche being the limited edition Boxter RS 60 Spyder. The German company plans to produce only 1,960 of them in homage to the groundbreaking, "giant-killing" Porsche Type 718 RS 60 that blitzed the larger, more powerful competition in 1960's 12 hours of Sebring endurance race, and kicked off a successful streak in motorsport for the company.

2008 Porsche 911 GT2: Faster, lighter, harder
Vastly lighter than the 911 Turbo after dropping from all-wheel-drive to rear-wheel drive, loads more powerful and efficient thanks to twin turbos and clever intake manifold innovations, and more racetrack-ready than ever before: the 2008 911 GT2 will be showcased in a few days at the LA Auto show, and it's a beauty. In fact, it's the fastest and most powerful production road Porsche 911 the company has ever homologated for the road, belting out a stern 530 rear-wheel drive horses, hitting 100kmh in a mere 3.7 seconds and topping out at an eye-widening 329kmh (or just over 200mph).

UK Porsche driver receives record 172mph speeding ticket
September 27, 2007 The road is not a racetrack - but if it was, Britain would have a new national champion. Londoner Tim Brady is now serving a 10-week jail sentence after being clocked at a record 172mph (277 kmh) in a Porsche (not pictured) he borrowed from his employer – that's 16mph faster than the previous four-wheeled record holder.

New Porsche Cayenne GTS showcases on-road dynamics
September 8, 2007 A new version of the Porsche Cayenne GTS, which makes its world debut at the IAA Auto Show in Frankfurt, Germany, on September 11, features a specially developed chassis: it is the first Cayenne to offer the electronically-controlled damping system, Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), with steel springs. This combination, which also lowers the Cayenne by 24mm, was previously reserved exclusively for Porsche sports cars. The car boasts an enhanced version of the direct fuel injection (DFI) 4.8-litre V8 petrol engine. The engine in the Cayenne GTS yields 405bhp (298 kW) at 6,500rpm – 20bhp more than in the Cayenne S.

©1985 Don DeLillo; (P)2000 Books on Tape, Inc.
"…stick with this book, and Prichard, through the rough spots. You will be rewarded with the never-wavering magic of DeLillo, and some good laughs." (AudioFile)
"HORRIBLE performance."
I bet this is a good read, but the narrator is so bored with the text that he ruins everything that is supposed to be quirky in this story. Don't bother with this one!
"One you'll think about months later"
I picked up this book (on audio) because of the passage that B.R. Myers tore apart in "A Reader's Manifesto: An Attack on the Growing Pretentiousness in American Literary Prose".
There were some brilliant bits, and when something was actually happening, it was d@mn near riveting. The comments on society and consumerism were laugh out loud funny, and all of the female characters were surprisingly developed. Sadly, whenever the protagonist was talking with any of the other male characters, they droned on and on. (Think "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance")
Glad I read (listened) to it, probably wouldn't reread
"great book, bad reader!"
I have read this book before, and love it, I find it hilarious! As I was about to start on a road trip (mostly night driving) I decided to get this audio version to keep me company and awake. BAD idea! This wonderful book has been turned boring by the bored sounded narrator, whose voice just drones on and on. Rather than having an inside-joker voice like the book seems to have, his is old and dry...
Definitely worth reading, but skip the audio version...
"All Plots Lead to Death."
I have really enjoyed this book. The narrator sounds, to me, exactly like Paul Harvey on NPR, which amuses me for some reason. Maybe an odd choice of narrator for an audiobook, but for the context of this book, I think he's great. His narration adds to the sense of impending doom that is such an important part of the book! (If you feel he's a bit flat, as some folks do, it helps to bump the speed up a notch if you are using an iPod).
"Very compelling!"
The narrator was spot on for the book. The characters were very well developed, believable and recognizable.
The angst of the father brings to mind some of John Irving's writing.
There were too many to pick one out. The father, our hero, had such a great voice every scene was well done.
Definitely, the father.
I plan to read more by Don DeLillo!!
"Love the book"
Love the book, but the voice could have been a bit more "pleasant" to listen to.
"Ponderous. I just wasted a credit"
I wanted to like this, I really did. But the reader's monotone killed it. I've been listening to a lot of audio books and have often admired the many different intonations and even dialects that one reader can use to transform the characters. This book, not so much. I can't even get past that to understand what this book is even about. Sorry!
"Reader is like Ambien!"
I have to read this book for a class that I am taking. The person that is doing the reading has such a horrible monotone, and reads so slow it just puts me to sleep! I just hope I can get my money back it is so bad! I have switched back to reading the book because it'll take less time, and I'll get more from it. What a shame.
"Eeerily Predictive of LIfe 25 Years later"
The White Noise is that of our society, advertising, media, relationships that is eerily predictive of the societal noise surrounding us 25 years later. Do not expect realistic dialog (which is all so many recent novels promise) but instead expositions on daily life. The book can be challenging at times, annoying at times, perplexing at times. There is always a veneer of contrivance, but I never minded, due to the insights and compelling prose.
"I'd Heard Delilo Was a Difficult Read, But..."
I would not. The book barely has a plot, which is fine, I don't necessarily need a book to have a plot, but if it doesn't, it needs characters I like. The characters in White Noise were all nihilist faux-intellectuals, and while I get the commentary, it meant that I hated absolutely everyone during the long stretches where absolutely nothing happened. Pages upon pages of contrarian, nihilist conversation where nobody just answers a question, they must pontificate on nonsense first. I found White Noise to be an exercise in patience in terms of the nearly non-existent plot, and an exercise in frustration with every single person who inhabits the story.
The climax was the only moment where I genuinely related to the character and found the story to be compellingly written. Once it is done, however, the story returns to a frustrating slog during the falling action and epilogue.
I absolutely despised the narrator, who seemed to be reading from a time period where audiobook narrators were trained to read with absolutely no emotion or temperance or anything. He is far and beyond the most boring narrator I've ever heard, and I feel he nearly killed the humor of the book, which is by nature super dry and, well, monotonous.
The story is pretty well wrapped-up.
I'd heard that Delilo was a difficult read, but when I hear that, I expect a book to use complex language, have spindly uninteresting prose, or have indecipherable metaphoric imagery. White Noise has none of the above. The book is metaphoric, but no more than any other literary novel-- this isn't Old Man and the Sea. This isn't Kafka. What makes this book a difficult read is its impossibly slow narrative and monotonous dialog. I would not say that Delilo is incapable of writing good characters because the fact that everyone seems to be obnoxious seems to have a point-- the writing seems to be making commentary on those that purport intellectual are bs, but it leaves me with absolutely no one to grasp on to, so when things do happen-- which literally takes hours of reading before it does-- I do not care. A difficult read indeed, but for none of the reasons I thought.

Posted 14 March 2009 - 07:45 PM
Everything else is fantastic, though, and I think making it 4-door is the best thing that could have happened-they're one of the best-selling vehicles in NA right now and are actually INCREASING in sales because of it.
Try and find an '07 or '08 used right now, although you can get some really good deals on new '08s with incentives-it's just that you're left with a lot of odd packages at this point in time. You MAY find a Rubi or a nice Sahara on the lot, but a lot of the leftovers are 2WD X's and crap like that.

Thought Coalition at TATE'S Comics

Boo hiss, right? But that's the kind of ugly, thoughtless honesty that Neil LaBute's Fat Pig is searching for. Whether you think it has succeeded or not probably depends on (1) how fat you are, (2) how big an asshole you are, and (3) whether your friends are equally big assholes. Superficially, the question asked by Fat Pig is this: If you are a successful young businessman and you find yourself falling in love with a pretty, witty, engaging girl who just happens to be 80 pounds overweight, do you break up with her when your friends start making fat jokes?
That's the dilemma faced by Pig's protagonist, Tom (Jim Ballard). He met his paramour, Helen (Margot Moreland), while she was scarfing down pizza by the handful at a cafeteria. The two quickly bonded Tom digs Helen's sense of humor (except when it's self-effacing, which is often) and taste in film; Helen digs Tom's who-knows-what (because, honestly, he's kind of a douche). Trouble arises when the skinny chick that Tom's been casually dating (Jeannie, played by Aubrey Shavonn) realizes she's being replaced and who she's being replaced by. It's nothing serious she just gets barkingly vituperative but Tom's ego is crushed. The situation is worsened by the fratboy wit of Tom's motor-mouthed coworker Carter (Brandon Morris), who never misses an opportunity to insult, publicly humiliate, and otherwise abuse everybody in his immediate vicinity.
If you're an audience member, the solution is obvious: Jesus, Tom, forget these people and go live happily ever after with Helen. Jeannie and Carter are terrible friends, you don't even like them that much, and they certainly don't have your best interests at heart. In fact, Tom, these people suck. They're vile, soulless bastards, and Helen is very likely the best thing to happen to you in your entire mealy-mouthed, weak-fisted life. Go to her, Tom. Eat well, live long, and prosper.
This isn't what happens, which bugs me to no end. Neil LaBute's usual philosophy of playwriting is something like this: Sure, audience, maybe you don't actually say the things I write or do the things I write about, but underneath all your smooth, polished surfaces, this is who you are! You'll find this part of LaBute's ethic at work in The Shape of Things, which hints that all relationships are steely, essentially heartless social transactions; and in Bash and In the Company of Men, which hint that apparently ordinary people are capable of monstrous acts. It's a decent notion, and ordinarily I wouldn't mind. What LaBute's after is "art as self-evaluation" and subsequently, if we're lucky, "art as exorcism." Sure, the idea is old-hat, but Neil's a good enough writer and an incisive enough thinker to pull it off. That is, if and it's a big if he's taking aim at real-world targets.
But I ask you, dear reader: If you happened to fall in love with a fat person if you were happy with this person, if you felt totally comfortable with this person, if you knew, deep down in your spleen, that this person was totally right for you how would your friends react? Would they snipe? Would they be relentlessly cruel? And furthermore, if some of your acquaintances did for some reason behave in this terrible manner, would you end your romance because of it?
No. Absolutely not. Hardly anybody would. And if you are such a person, guess what? You, mon frère, are an asshole. Your friends are assholes. Everybody knows you're an asshole. You certainly don't need Neil LaBute telling you I'll tell you. Query a few random people at the mall: They'll tell you. And since you're such a massive, irredeemable asshole, what are you doing at the theater in the first place? Art appreciation is not meant for people like you. Go rape and pillage something.
The problem isn't that people will reject something they're passionate about in the name of conformity, as LaBute suggests in Fat Pig. I submit that, when you're really, honest-to-God passionate about something, you're physically incapable of rejecting it. You fiend after it. As Percy Sledge once asserted, a man who loves a woman "can't keep his mind on nothing else," and he will, in fact, "trade the world for the good thing he's found."
Right you are, Percy. The problem with obesity, vis-à-vis love, is that people refuse to fall in love with fat folks in the first place. This might have to do with societal pressure; it might have to do with cultural standards of beauty shaping our turn-ons and turn-offs when we're tots. Whatever the cause, a whole lot of people refuse to even consider fat folks as sexual objects. You may be one of those people: If so, shame on you, but you're not abnormal. What is abnormal is getting into a fulfilling relationship with a special portly someone and then aborting the affair because of one too many Twinkie jokes around the water cooler. If you do that, you're a spineless mutant, and I've never met anybody quite like you.

Absinthe has shunned long-term relationships for so long he's not sure he knows how to do anything but one-night stands. A forbidden hybrid of Shaman and Vampire, he has the ability to draw power during shows and enchant people-usually women-out of their panties. But when he chooses Claire, and a quickie backstage turns into a passionate night he can't forget, he isn't sure who is enchanting who.

Of most concern is that the plan does not discuss how it intends to provide information to the IPCC. While there is no evidence of any such nationalism in the GCRP research community, the perception of insularity in the draft plan is of concern to the committee on two fronts. Scientifically, there is a danger that the emphasis on U.S. issues and resources will result in agencies choosing not to work in geographic regions outside the United States that are significant for understanding particularly important processes. The second issue relates to participation in international climate change research. The United States has been the source of about half the global research investment historically and a leader in many activities internationally, yet there is little discussion in the draft strategic plan of how and whether the U.S. program will participate in international arenas. This insular approach could alienate international contributions to U.S. science.
Recommendation: The revised strategic plan should clearly describe how the CCSP will contribute to and benefit from international research collaborations and assessments.
The draft strategic plan appropriately recognizes the importance of efforts to communicate with the public and to promote outreach for K-12 education. Chapter 13 of the draft plan accurately describes the need for improved public understanding of climate change, and lists a number of mechanisms that could be used for this purpose. Though important, the recommendations for action in Chapter 13 of the plan are so broad and without prioritization that it will be difficult to accomplish all or even many of them. The revised chapter on communications and outreach should better identify which recommendations have the highest priorities and which agency has the responsibility for ensuring that they are carried out.
The committee notes that the draft plan itself, with its dense prose, is not easily accessible to intelligent nonexperts, and certainly not to laypersons. The draft plan would communicate with the public much more effectively if it included clearly articulated vision, goals, and priorities for the program, as discussed in Chapter 2 of this report.
The draft strategic plan makes clear that the scientific community will play important roles in carrying out research and in advising the program through scientific advisory processes. The program has established strong linkages and two-way communication with the scientific community in general. An indication of this was the strong representation of the scientific community at the December planning workshop, with the exception of some areas of science that have not traditionally received funding from the GCRP. The document itself is generally effective in communicating with the scientific community about problems and research areas. As discussed in Chapter 2 of this report, however, the plan could be more effective in conveying to the scientific community an integrated, reasoned "strategic plan" for climate change and associated global change science.
The committee commends the authors for focusing each chapter on a short list of questions or problems, and believes that this should be done consistently throughout the strategic plan. The committee found the question format particularly effective in dealing with well-specified tasks related to improved understanding of physical and chemical processes. The format was less effective in dealing with issues that cross several chapters, such as those related to human dimensions and decision support tasks, which should be better integrated into relevant chapters.
The committee commends the CCSP for undertaking the challenging task of developing a strategic plan, an important first step in enhancing how the program communicates with its wide range of stakeholders. The current draft of the plan represents a good start to the process. Further, the CCSP has made genuine overtures to researchers and the broader stakeholder community to gain feedback on the draft strategic plan and how to improve it. The planning workshop in December 2002 attracted hundreds of attendees. The workshop summaries presented by the program's leaders (see <http://www.climatescience.gov/Library/workshop2002/closingsession>) indicated that they were attentive to the issues raised by the workshop participants. In addition to the workshop, the CCSP established a mechanism for interested parties to submit written comments on the draft plan. These efforts indicate a strong interest on the part of the CCSP to develop a plan that is consistent with current scientific thinking and is responsive to the nation's needs for information on climate and associated global changes.

Incase may be the most recent case-maker to release a color-changing case, but they are far from the only one. XtremeMac offers the $30 Tuffwrap Shift that has a similar design to the Snap Case, but is available in a wider variety of color schemes: blue/white; pink/white; purple/blue; grey/white; green/white; and orange/yellow.
Finally, RF Laserworks offers a $12 heat sensitive iPhone 4 backing that's .005" thick, meaning it's designed to fit under a bumper or other case.
Thermochromatic cases don't quite work like the XtremeMac press photograph above, showing off fine details and fingerprints. However, they can bring something a little different to the iPhone case world.
All the cases mentioned are compatible with both the iPhone 4 and the 4S.

Fiserv Looks to Hit Square in the Middle of Mobile Payments
Banks that focus on small businesses are always looking to increase the scope of their customer relationships, typically tying checking account services to credit services. SpotPay provides an additional fee-generating element to existing customer relationships, while also facilitating deposit gathering, through the check processing service.
Fiserv has a long history as one of the largest providers of core and subsidiary processing systems to banks and other financial companies, providing a ready set of current customers for SpotPay. The company said that SpotPay was already available to financial institutions that are part of the company's ACCEL/Exchange network, which integrates ATM services in the U.S. and Canada.
Fiserve has over 5,000 core processing customers among banks, thrifts and credit unions, and offers various other electronic payment services, including Mobiliti, through which consumers can access their checking accounts to review balances and transaction history, pay bills, and make person-to-person payments, through their mobile devices. Fiserv says that Mobiliti "enables financial institutions to reach more consumers than via other mobile technologies because it supports all three mobile access modes: browser, application and text."
Fiserv also offers the PopMoney service, which is a person-to-person payment service that counts Citigroup (C) as its biggest customer, and negotiations are underway to link PopMoney with clearXchange, which counts JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Bank of America (BAC), and Wells Fargo (WFC) as members.So what does all this mean to investors? Fiserv is often considered a defensive technology stock, because of its recurring revenue stream from long-term contracts with financial companies for various core and secondary processing services. The company reported second-quarter earnings from continuing operations of $163 million, or $1.18 a share, increasing from $97 million, or 67 cents a share, during the second quarter of 2011. Total second-quarter revenue was $1.100 billion, increasing from $1.065 billion a year earlier. The company's Payments and Industry Products division saw second-quarter revenue of $609 million, growing from $579 million in the second quarter of 2011, while its Financial Institutions Services institution's revenue increased only slightly, to $502 million in the second quarter, from $497 million, a year earlier.

|Hi. I have about 3/4 of a yard of double ground pine bark. It looks like it has a lot of very fine stuff in it. I tested the drainage of it by filling a 12 ounce plastic cup with a drain hole in the bottom, saturated it, and let it drain. After it finished draining naturally, I could only shake about 3 tablespoons of water out of it. This told me that the double ground bark drains well. I made a large batch of 511, and just assumed I could eliminate the peat, so I made a 5:1, bark-perlite batch. I'm not sure why I added the perlite if the bark alone drains well. I think I was just scared to leave it out. After that, I took a gallon of the plain double ground bark and sifted it with a kitchen strainer to see just how much fine stuff was actually in it. I got just about a quart of fine stuff out of the gallon, which would be 25% 'peat', a little more than Al's suggested amount of 1/6th to 1/7th of the whole for the 511. Since I'm a little nervous about too little water retension because my containers will be in full sun and drying quickly, and the bark alone drains well, can't I just eliminate the perlite also, and go with the straight double ground bark in the containers? Thanks. Ed.
Follow-Up Postings:
|Ed - the double grind is going to compact a fair amount & water retention is going to increase. I think I'd tend to want to retain the perlite as a fraction of the whole. If you decide to eliminate the perlite, I'd urge you to use a wick .... at least until the planting has matured to the point where roots have fully colonized the entire container. When you feel you really NEED some additional water retention, simply pull out the wick and you instantly get that boost. Ain't science fun?!! ;-)
To ease your angst a little: I make my 5:1:1 using a pretty coarse bark & haven't yet had any trouble having to water anything in normal size containers more than once daily. Most containers are watered every 2-3 days, and I tend 2 grow in smaller containers than most growers use.
- Posted by jojosplants Az. z. 9 (My Page) on Sun, Apr 17, 11 at 13:34
|I am making my 5-1-1 fairly coarse too. I've eliminated the peat due to the amount of fine material it has. And use the perlite.
Were in the high 80's right now to low 90's and I'm only having to water my tomato's and roses every 2-3 day.
|OK, thanks. I appreciate the feedback. Will stick with the perlite for now. Am very excited about using the 511 this year for the first time, mostly for tomatoes, but already have some potatoes and peas planted in it. Very curious to see how the peas do. They'll grow in almost anything, so they should do well. The potatoes will probably love it. Didn't lime the potato mix.
|You'll need to be sure they're getting Ca & Mg, Ed.
- Posted by jojosplants Az. z. 9 (My Page) on Sun, Apr 17, 11 at 20:55
|I'm going to try potato's this summer for the first time. Alot will go in the mixes, I really don't have 'garden' space.
|For the pea mix, I limed it and included a CRF. For the potato mix I included 1 tablespoon per gallon of a CRF with Ca & Mg. I will be using FP for the maintainance of both. That should be enough, right? Thanks. Ed.
|Yes this sounds interesting, think I will try it. The pine bark I have left over from last year has a considerable amount of fines in it, not sure exactly how much tho. So as a test this year I will mix the pine bark and mix in perlite and skip the peat.
I have arthritis and fairly limited time, so screening the pine bark to remove big chunks, then screening again for fines is difficult. If I can screen once through 1/4" hardware cloth to remove big pieces and use whatever goes through the screen for containers, that will save me time and effort for sure.
I will adjust the mix by adding more perlite for better drainage for plants that need it. And add lime to the mix of course!
Thanks. :)
|BTW, I should be using "coarse grade" perlite for the 5-1-1 correct? Much of the perlite I see is very small, but I'm looking for a larger grade. I have seen photos of it in much bigger sizes but so far no luck finding any.
|Coarse grade perlite isn't something I've found locally, either... but perlite is so lightweight, ordering it online and having it shipped shouldn't be very costly, I would think... so I'm probably going that route this year.
The perlite found locally is a bit too small for my taste, and it contains a lot of dust and tiny particles that require removal... not that I mind... I just want larger particles.
Personally, I'd keep perlite as a fraction of a medium mix... mainly for it's weight, but also because it serves as an inexpensive portion of total volume, in my opinion.
|Thanks for the reply Jodi! The photos I've seen of "coarse grade" perlite look to be about the size of a pea or pea gravel. I've not seen any perlite close to that size locally. Everthing around here seems to be the same thing you have, fairly small particles with lots of dust.
I'll keep looking. I might try a few plants without it just to see what happens.
Thanks again.

if you have any Hydroponic shops in your area, check with them.
It can be a little intimidating going into a store that is obviously geared toward
indoor marijuana growing, but don't worry: they won't sell you pot, and you won't be
put on any government list :-)
I buy course grade Perlite in 4 cubic foot bags for $20.
|Referring back to my last post in this thread, I decided to add gypsum to the potato mix to make sure there is plenty of calcium available. The CRF I originally used in the mix, at the rate of 1 tablespoon per gallon of mix, has about 1% of Magnesium in it. I will using Foliage Pro at 1/4 strength at every watering. Do I still need to use epsom salts in the water for additional magnesium?
|.... need to know how much gypsum you added to make an educated guess.
|Al, I haven't added the gypsum yet. I purchased it today. Originally when I made the mix for the potatoes I left out the lime, and used 1 Tablespoon per gallon of a CRF which contains 3.5% Calcium, and 1.4% Magnesium, and plan to maintain with 1/4 strength FP. So far, the only Ca and Mg that is in the mix is from the initial CRF. Will this be enough? What would you suggest? Thanks. Ed
|Hydroponic stores would most likely carry a coarser grade of perlite, as Josh suggests, and would be your best bet... I'd Google it and see what you come up with. Orchid growers may also offer bags of coarse perlite, or perhaps even bonsai growers. You never know where you'll locate that needed item... it's like a treasure hunt! :-)
|I probably would have limed it and called it good, which is what I do for the 5:1:1 mixes I use.
A lot of what we talk about on the forum isn't 'required' to have plants you'll be pleased with. We like having fun squeezing the best out of our plants, and we like having a thorough understanding of the whys/hows of our plant's workings, but in the end, your success failure probably isn't going to hinge on whether you choose lime, or gypsum and Epsom salts as your Ca/Mg source.
Growing well is about reducing the effects of the most limiting factor(s) that influence growth. By far, the factor we see that is most commonly most limiting is that whole soil/water-retention/aeration relationship. For most people, understanding that relationship and getting things favorably implemented propels them forward one giant step. Getting their nutrition supplementation squared away is usually the next largest step. Mostly then, the rest is smaller steps - fine-tuning, so to speak. It ALL matters, and the more you know and understand, the easier it is to justify increasingly better expectations.

One day after the costliest Presidential election in U.S. history, Americans awoke to the ugly realization that the nation had spent $2.5 billion with absolutely nothing to show for it.
"Four years ago, Barack Obama was elected President of the United States, and that is still the case," says Professor Davis Logsdon of the University of Minnesota. "The only difference is that we as a nation are out $2.5 billion."

Sarah Palin Ran a Faster Marathon Than Paul Ryan – Alexis C. Madrigal – The Atlantic3 Sep
Is he saying that Ryan is a liar ANd a whimp to boot?
What's awe-inducing about Palin's feat is that she accomplished it at 41 after having four children, while Ryan's mark was set at 20 and Edwards' best came at 30. There are only about 40 thousand women who were that fast or faster in 2011. (More comparisons: The average marathon time for a woman aged 40-44 in 2011 was 4:47:34. The average for a man aged 20-24 was 4:22:48.)

Paul Ryan: The Man Who Wasn't There | The Nation24 Aug
Judged by the entirety of his career, Ryan is merely a good-looking version of a typical Obama-era Republican. He calls for budgetary discipline while exploding the deficit. He speaks of lowering taxes but merely shifts the burden to the middle class. Back in the Bush administration, he rarely met a boondoggle he didn't embrace. On social issues, he may as well be Pat Robertson: Ryan co-sponsored a federal "fetal personhood" amendment, voted to defund Planned Parenthood, and offered legislation to prevent Medicaid from funding abortions even in cases of rape or incest.
Empty Town Halls and 'Easter Bunny Epiphanies': On the Campaign Trail With Gary Johnson | Swampland | TIME.com1 Aug
Gary is indeed "the pot guy." He's a libertarian who wants to legalize drugs, downsize government and balance the budget in one year by slashing spending by 43%. He would toss out the tax code and replace it with a Fair Tax on consumption, and solve America's illegal-immigration problem by handing out more work visas. Johnson is a pro-choice, pro-civil-union fiscal conservative who doesn't wear religion on his sleeve—a perfect fit, by his analysis, for New Hampshire. But he's not a plausible contender in a Republican Party that has already had to adjust its contours to make room for Ron Paul.

The Green Team: Jill Stein's Third-Party Bid to Shake Up 2012 | Swampland | TIME.com1 Aug
Wednesday morning at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein spoke to about a dozen people–and a couple dozen empty chairs. She had gone to the capital, in advance of the Green Party convention in Baltimore, to announce her running mate: Cheri Honkala. So who is Honkala? And for that matter, who is Stein? Here's the first thing they'll tell you: They're candidates not named Barack Obama or Mitt Romney.
Born in the 1980s, the Green Party's national profile peaked in 2000, when Ralph Nader took 2.7% of the popular vote in the chaotic presidential election that put George W. Bush in office. (One imagines Al Gore still wakes in the night cursing Nader's name.) Not long after, in 2002, the Green Party recruited a physician and health advocate named Jill Stein to run for governor in Massachusetts. She lost that race and three more in the state over the next decade, while making two successful bids for Lexington Town Meeting representative. Meanwhile, the Green Party candidates in 2004 and 2008 failed to get more than 150,000 votes.
The election fight between Obama and Romney will be close, and a third-party candidate who mounts a significant campaign might be cause for concern as November nears–whether that's libertarian Gary Johnson or the Green Party's Stein. For now, Stein says she's still introducing herself to the American people, trying to generate interest in the party that's deflated over the past decade.

How to Protest the Major Parties Without Throwing Away Your Vote – Conor Friedersdorf – The Atlantic26 Jul
If you aren't crazy about the Republican or Democrat, but think of your vote from a utilitarian perspective and are uninterested in purely symbolic gestures, here's how to impact presidential elections in two easy steps:
1) Postpone your calculated support for someone you don't like until you're standing in the election booth. Before then, support the third-party nominee you'd like to see win. If a pollster asks who you support give their name, not the major-party candidate you may wind up voting for in the end. Doing so doesn't squander your vote on someone who won't win, but could be the difference between a Libertarian or Green Party candidate being included or excluded from TV debates.
2) Think about whether or not you live in a swing state. If so, maybe it makes more sense to vote Republican or Democrat. But if you live in a state like California, where the Democrat will obviously win, or a state like Utah where the Republican is obviously going to win, your vote is going to have a lot more impact if you're part of a third-party surge that signals disaffection to others.

|10 He replied, "You are talking like a foolish woman. Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?" In all this, Job did not sin in what he said.

Through the years, Montgomery County has established lofty expectations in golf. So, after a few seasons of watching Frederick County's Urbana High School steal the spotlight, it has returned to dynastic ways.
Thomas S. Wootton (633 two-day total) was awarded its second consecutive 4A/3A trophy on Wednesday afternoon at the University of Maryland, College Park golf course. Four of the remaining eight large school finalists hailed from Montgomery, and Winston Churchill (638) stood just one slot down on the medal stand from the Patriots. The only 2A/1A school in the county, Poolesville (685), captured silver for its class.
The individuals shined too. Not 20 minutes prior to Wootton being crowned, Justin Feldman took Steven Segrist of Glenelg to a playoff for the individual male title, which Segrist prevailed. Delaney Shah, Wootton's prized sophomore girl, closed the tournament 1-under-par, losing only to defending champion Bryana Nguyen, who finished an unfathomable 8-under, obliterating the previous two-day record by four shots. One missed putt from Segrist and a more human pace from Nguyen and it's not unthinkable that Wootton could have monopolized the 4A/3A titles with the rest of the county speckling the remaining top-10 spots.
"Two years in a row," Feldman said. "That's something to be proud of. It's not easy to be a defending champ and win again."
Then there's the non-Wootton individuals. Churchill's Luke Schaap nearly scrapped his way into a three-way playoff with Feldman and Segrist. A bogey on 18, the result of an unlucky lie in a fairway bunker, doomed the sophomore Bulldog to a third place finish. Walt Whitman's Andrew Barth shot a second-day 70 to jump up the leaderboard to fifth. And Schaap's teammate, Adam Gray, shot a 74 on Wednesday to close just two slots behind Barth.
"I think next year we're going to be really, really good," Gray said. "If we just play the right people at the right time I think we're going to be unstoppable."
Team-wise, not to be forgotten are Poolesville and Walter Johnson, both making their inaugural state final debuts. The Falcons finished second in the 2A/1A class behind powerhouse Marriott's Ridge, and the Wildcats closed at eighth for the larger schools.
Falcons' coach David Gillespie said on Tuesday that he wanted to give Marriott's Ridge, the defending champs, a scare. And, though the 71-shot gap between the two teams isn't going to be frightening anybody, the school's trophy case will be populated by some state golf hardware, the first in its history.
"It's fantastic," Gillespie said. "I'm very proud of everybody. It was their year. We set our goals and we were able to get it done and it was great."
The scary part, at least for any school outside of Montgomery's borders, is that almost all the talent is coming back for at least one more year. Winston Churchill, which trailed Wootton by just five, returns all four starters, including Schaap and Gray. Wootton will boast four players in 2014 who have experience winning a state championship, including its rocks in Feldman and Shah. Graham Hutchinson, the regular season leader in stroke average, still has three more years left in him with a young squad at Whitman. Walter Johnson, the regular season county champion, and Quince Orchard, each bring back a significant portion of its core as well.
"Montgomery County is back," Churchill coach Michael Fisher said. "Yeah, we're back."

Hi all
Has anyone completed the SLG summer upgrade to 7.140 successfully to Sharepoint 2010. This is the first time I have done this upgrade and all seemed well when applying the App Tier 64.msi & SLG Web tier 64.msi, then it came to deploying the upgrade to the web farm.
ntered the all the information given by Capita in the SP Management Shell command line, restarted services when required, but after disabling and unistalling the .138 SLGWebPackage.wsp it wld not remove itself. I carried on entering information (first time I had done this so thought it would be ok to ignore error..........big mistake!!) and then ran the Diagnostic Tool 64.msi - which apparently was successful, now cannot access any SLG parts on our Learning Gateway - Any ideas would be much appreciated as no-one available at Capita.
PS I have only a little in house experience of SP and no knowledge of webfarms, I inherited this system from my predecessor!!

COVENTRY, R.I. (AP) — Police have identified the victim of a fatal house fire in Coventry as a 91-year-old man.
Authorities say Thomas Castellucci died in the fire at his residence on Knotty Oak Road on Sunday evening. Police are still trying to locate next of kin.
Police arrived at the house around 7:20 p.m. and found it fully in flames. Officers tried to approach the house to see if anyone was inside but couldn't because of the flames.
Firefighters arrived and put out the flames and were able to eventually enter the house from a rear door. They found Castellucci dead inside.

SP5 Kenneth Eskes
Good afternoon Dr. Owston,

SP5 Kenneth Eskes served with while he was in Vietnam. I've recently acquired a high school photo and an obituary from Steubenville Ohio.
I have obit information I would like to add to
his tribute.
Would you please transfer his findagrave tribute to me, I'm also in pursuit of his grave monument, at the present time this avenue is blocked by another request for the monument.

RE: Dennis Hershner
You're very welcome for the photos, Robert. The marker is close to a tree. I think the mowers end up taking various angles around it and one caused the marker trim to break. Once that happened the damage just continued. I probably have 10 or so photos if you'ld like a full one to work with. Won't help with damage, but you can crop out more of it. Please let me know. Glad I could help out for a vet.

Hi Robert,
Thanks for the follow up email. I did see the medals inscribed on his headstone but didn't understand why they were not listed on the site you posted. I did a little more research and now I think I understand based on the comments posted by Rocky's (Robert Owen Cole) high school friend Gordon Smith on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial The Wall-USA site (http://thewall-usa.com/guest.asp?recid=9750)I respect his wishes and agree with you that he is a HERO.

I got pics today per your request for Sgt Thomas Sherry's gravesite. Sorry it took me so long. Har har. :-]
His stone has a real bad rust stain on it. I scrubbed and scrubbed on it and got some of the stain out but it would take dynamite to get the rest of it out! I think the cemetery frowns on doing that. Ho ho ho.
Somebody told me the cemetery uses fertilizer with iron in it and that is what causes some of the stones to get the rust stains on them. Don't know if that is right or not??
