I suffered through seeing a 2-0 lead vaporized in one swing of a Tiger bat in the third inning, only to miss the grand payoff in the 11th, on a wild goose chase that may or may not have been centered around my hair. (Fine. It was. I admit it.)
Oh, did I mention that grand payoff?
It was grand in the sense that it was awesome, but also in the sense that it was a grand-freaking-slam from Nelson Cruz. Walk-off. In the 11th. First walk-off grand slam in the playoffs in the history of Major League Baseball. I've watched it over more times than I care to mention and it gives me goosebumps every time. Seriously, haven't these playoffs just been the most dramatic anyone could ever possibly have hoped for? I can just imagine Joe Torre sitting in the stands, looking satisfied and evil.
Speaking of Torre! I'm a little torn. I think he looks less scary in a suit than in a uniform, but there's also something vaguely menacing about the idea of him working of the league. Um, dystopia waiting to happen, anyone?
I'm sure I'm being unfair to him and he's a totally teddy bear, in reality, but… I can't quite get rid of that image of him (in a Dodgers uniform, of course) being Selig's silent, right-hand man as Bud takes over the US and makes candy illegal and makes everyone he doesn't like sell churros or something. Really, am I alone on this?
And if I am alone and you are staring at your computer screen in disbelief right now because of that rant, then blame FOX who interviewed him more times then they needed to, during the rain delay the other night and put all this jazz in my head.
Lastly, I would just like to say that I am very stoked for the Rangers and all, but they are most certainly testing my fandom by sporting those ridiculous beards. Josh Hamilton looks like someone splashed tomato sauce on his face and Mike Napoli looks like he always shaves a little-too-high-onto-the-neck-which-turns-into-chin. So, yeah, I have a little present for them.
Thank the stars Alexi is clean-shaven and I can still love him to death. Okay, 'nuff whining for the day. Antlers and rain and cinnamon sticks in coffee to all!

It's hard to believe the modern era of
Star Wars
collecting began twenty years ago this year.
The Power Of The Force
(II) line made its musclebound debut at the 1995 International Toy Fair, and was found at retail the following September. The original card backs, as you likely know, was orange with a silver logo and it were revised to green with a gold logo in 1997, but there was an extremely small transitional release that saw eight debut figures on orange cards with a gold logo in the last weeks of 1996. We've always been fond of this transitional wave and we think they have stood the test of time. Follow this link to

Zito is not really pitching that well. Understatement of the Modern Era. I've talked about this before, so I'm just going to cut to the chase: I have some theories. Without further ado, please welcome the theories. ::cue clapping and a few whoops::
1. He needs a hug. A real, I-believe-in-you, you-can-do-this, hug.
2. He needs a time-out. Not like a skipped start, like a time-out, like they give to pre-schoolers.
3. Powder went missing. Perhaps was made into a unicorn-burger by a rich San Francisco guy. Not Barry Zito. A different rich San Francisco guy.
Incidentally… do you think Powder and Barry go to the same hair stylist?
4. The Brian Wilson attitude rubbed off on him and he thinks it's dramatic and fun to mix things up and be a first half pitcher, instead, this year.
6. He figured some record book, some time, might put him in if he never has an ERA under 4.00 while on the Giants. It's true, some record book might. Like the SF Diamond Girl Record Book. But I can't think of any other ones.
7. He misses Bengie. I do, too.
8. John Mayer quit Twitter and so Barry got depressed. Despite the fact that he official quit Twitter a while time ago, he still might be on it. Secretly. ::cue conspiracy music::
9. Chris Rose, Evil Spirit, has it in for him and sticks pins in his voodoo doll before every start. I want to see this voodoo doll. I wonder if it really looks like him. Capturing his complex spirit in a tiny doll might be, you know, complex? For lack of a better word.
10. He thinks the idea of being an 126 million dollar cheerleader (that term was coined by Henry Schulman) is interesting. I do, too. If someone wants to give me the job instead, feel free to. Do cheerleaders get special names, like rapper names? 'Cause if so, I want to be Psychic Seagull.

In no particular order, in honor of the 162 games of the regular season…
162. The walk-off on Opening Day for the second consecutive year. And provided some awesome entertainment along the way as I drove to Fresno to see the Grizzlies Opening Night.
161. The new and improved Pablo Sandoval.
160. The rather awesome drama and content they provided for their reality show.
159. Heck, they had a reality show!
158. They carried first place for a good long while, even though they didn't finish with it.
157. They had All Stars. A whole bunch of them.
156. They gave me bragging rights for life. We got Carlos Beltran. (Never mind what happened afterwards.)
155. They kinda massacred the Chamber of Horrors, aka Coors Field.
155. NATE. That is all.
154. Their hitting coach who takes, "Reach for the moon, if you fall down, at least you'll fall in the stars" very literally. Like, he's-going-to-the-moon literally. It's sure to bode well for the offense in the future.
153. They chewed gum at the White House. It was strangely endearing.
152. Heck, they went to the White House!
151. They were so resilient I can't even express it in words. Well, maybe I could. But I have a whole lot more of these to write, so I'm not going to get into it.
150. Santiago Casilla and his epic and previously undiscovered closing skills.
149. Brett.
148. And Brandon.
147. And, oh, the other Brandon too.
145. The multitude of B's!
144. The incredibly pleasant surprise that was Eric Surkamp in his first start back.
142. And the incredibly pleasant surprise that was Ryan Vogelsong all around.
141. Chris Stewart. And his brainiac-ness. And his overall awesomeness.
140. The fact that AT&T Park exists and is amazingly beautiful. Pays to remember that, every now and then, right?
139. D-Ro having a few more special moments. I really hope he's back next year in some way.
138. Madison and his trademarked first inning meltdowns. And yes, that he was otherwise amazing.
137. Bruce Bochy. 'Nuff said.
136. Conor Gillaspie. (The name! The name!)
135. Those special little moments when Guillermo Mota came in for long relief and just saved us all.
134. Getting to see Travis Ishikawa one last time, when he got his ring.
133. OH! Yes! The ring ceremony…
132 …and the mismatched, mint colored boxes the rings came in…
131. …and Sergio Romo goofing off at the ceremony…
129. There was also Vogey's lovely little speech when he got the Willie Mac Award.
128. Remember when Tim Flannery, third base coach, sang the National Anthem? Epic.
127. The crazy thunder storm/rain delay in Detroit. And the way the broadcasters filled the empty time. That was magical.
126. Kepp's walk-off vs. the Astros. So there, Houston.
124. Crawford's grand-slam in his first game against Milwaukee. Remember that? Goosebumps and smiles.
123. The prank Ross et al. played on Huff. Which we got to see because of aforementioned reality show.
122. Did I mention, THE GIANTS HAD A REALITY SHOW?
121. When Brandon Belt met a baby giraffe and took pictures with it. That may actually be my favorite moment of the entire year. Seriously, how utterly fantastic?
120. That they never missed a beat, even after the loss of Posey and then Sanchez.
119. Timmy back to being Timmy, for the most part.
118. And Timmy and Matt Cain both reached 1000th career strikeouts, which was fabulous.
117. Finishing ahead of the Padres. Vendetta? Yes, vendetta.
116. Romo shaving. Because that may imply that other people will shave soon.
115. coughcoughBrianWilsoncoughcough
114. NATE. Again.
113. And Nate's upper deck shot in Colorado that his brother got. Too many awesome things about that to mention.
112. Slightly irrelevant, maybe, but Jon Miller not doing ESPN any more meant that he broadcasted for KNBR on the weekends. Which was enough to make the season, right there.
111. Together, We're Giant. It actually grew on me. (But It's Time is still, and always will be, better.)
110. The "sellouts". Because they seriously cracked me up. Especially when the upper deck was e-m-p-t-y.
109. The little Sabean moment in Moneyball. When Billy Beane totally played the Giants. My rational mind was outraged and the rest of me was snickering.
108. Watching Pablo's defense just reappear before our very eyes.
107. Being there for Carlos Beltran's 300th career homerun.
106. And speaking of homeruns… Brandon Belt had a couple to remember.
105. And when Brandon Belt made the club out of spring training and it felt like nothing could possibly go wrong.
104. The fact that some people didn't get injured. Can't think of any? No, I'm sure there were a few.
103. The fact that Aubrey Huff always has good years after bad ones. Most definitely. This bodes well for 2012.
102. While I hated that the cost for parking doubled, I think it was because they won the World Series. And I do love that. So, by extension, I love the new parking rates. Sort of.
101. The Churros guy. If you've ever been to a Major League ballpark, you know what I mean.
100-50. Looking at the new lineup every day, usually with my mouth gaping wide open.
49. The few nice Zito moments. They were there. And they were smile-inducing.
48. The fact that the year after the championship, while it wasn't exactly a success, was not a collapse either. This was a pennant race right down until the end.
47. Can I just say one more thing about Chris Stewart? His first Major League homerun rocked.
46. When Edgar came back, if only for a bit. *sniffles*
45. And remember when Uribe came back? *sniffles again*
44. I also liked riding my first roller coast (no, really. It's related.) because it drove home that this season was like a roller coaster. Which is to say seriously headache inducing, but fun afterwards.
43. I don't know how this all worked, but I've been hearing Giants ads for the Not For Sale Campaign. If they've partnered, then that is most certainly something I love.
42. Jeremy's rebound year. Minus the frozen burger patties.
41. That they didn't do anything silly like start the season in Taiwan.
40. That they rocked their doubleheader at Wrigley.
39. Matt Cain ruled overall, as always.
38. That they let themselves get swept by Milwaukee in May. I'm sure they have a crystal ball and knew they wouldn't get into the playoffs, but the Brewers could, so they gave them that series. Very thoughtful, you know.
36. When Bruce Bochy got congratulated by Ryan Braun on winning the World Series (minute 1:40. I know you want to see it.) This is what I call icing on the cake, people.
35. NATE. One last time. Sorry.
34-20. This is when Diamond Girl had to leave unexpectedly to sniffle in the closet for a bit at the realization that this is really the end of the 2011 season.
19. Okay! Back. Let's do a silver lining thing now: not winning the pennant means the target-on-back will lessen or disappear. And these Giants do better when there are no Great Expectations. Sorry, Charles Dickens.
18. They also helped me and my new fish bond. I am quite positive that the reason my fish seems to be liking me more is that we've endured the torture holed up in my room (yep, I said torture) together.
16. Emmanuel Burriss's nickname-picky mother.
14. Totally random memory: Pat Burrell and Eli Whiteside both hitting triples in one game. Weird and great.
13. The promotions their awesome TV network came up with. Especially the Ultimate Tim Lincecum one. (Which I, eh, won.)
12. The players designing endearingly horrific t-shirts.
11. That they drafted another good-name player in the draft. That is Joe Panik. If only for the name, it was a good pick.
10. Walk-offs!
9. And more walk-offs!
8. And even more walk-offs!
7. The power outage in St. Louis. Now I really credit the Cardinals (read: Tony LaRussa) for that, but it was a Giants moment anyway. And a darn memorable one, too.
6. When Cainer demonstrated he actually does have the ability to dress well.
4. Last thing about Chris Stewart! I promise! But I remember the first time I saw him do a throwdown to second. And I think I thought it was cupcakes and brownies and cinnamon roasted almonds all mashed into one. (And yet it was good. All those foods mashed together probably, um, wouldn't be.)
3. Don't let anyone fool you into thinking you shouldn't let your kids watch baseball! It's educational! I mean, this year I learned what "contusion" means. Overandoverandoveragain.
2. It was like a magical realism book (what is a magical realism book, you ask? Read here and be enlightened.) Stray bits of left over magic were everywhere. And that's even better than full-on magic, somehow. (Although, yes, I like full-on magic when it means winning the World Series. But don't interrupt my poetic-ness, please.)
1. They gave me a lot to blog about. A lot, a lot. So I thank them for that. And I thank you all for bearing with me and my weirdness and my love of strange foods and for reading and commenting here as well. It's been a brilliant, crazy year and more fun than I can possibly express.
Now, if you'll excuse me… I need to go reminisce for a bit more and then find my antlers and morph into Ranger-Girl. Bye-bye, 2011 season.
Diamond Girl

Systems Portfolio Process
As stated by the Higher Learning Commission, one of the Academic Quality Improvement Program's (AQIP) core processes, the systems Portfolio "describes key systems and processes the organization uses to achieve its goals and the performance results it obtains from them. During the first four years of participation, an organization assembles a Systems Portfolio with broad faculty and staff involvement. This document is essential for the Systems Appraisal that AQIP conducts three years after the organization is accepted to participate in AQIP. The systems Portfolio consists of an Organizational Overview and explicates each of the major systems employed to accomplish an organization's mission and objectives. The organization answers specific questions for each of the six AQIP Categories. For each system, the questions deal with context for analysis, processes, results, and improvement. The Organizational Overview presents a capsule picture that helps readers understand the organization's key strengths and ambitions, as well as the challenges and conflicts it faces."
The Systems Portfolio is a record of NWACC's activities with regard to the nine key processes of AQIP and acts as a
high-quality, actionable feedback on NWACC's strengths & opportunities from a team of quality improvement experts and educators,
body of evidence to show the Higher Learning Commission that NWACC is meeting its Criteria for Accreditation,
common reference point that lets everyone at NWACC share an understanding of how we are organized, what are our key processes, what kind of performance those processes produce, and how we improve,
planning tool that helps NWACC share the institution's future agenda and concentrates everyone's attention on those areas that should be the focus of improvement,
evidence, over time, that AQIP is working to your institution's advantage, and that continued participation in the program makes sense; and
public information and relations tool that lets all of our stakeholders understand clearly and persuasively what we are accomplishing with our resources

Chia Goodness is a "new concept breakfast cereal" (as described by their website). The ingredients are completely raw - just stir in milk or water, hot or cold, and wait a few minutes for it to thicken, giving it the comfort quality of oatmeal. I received a sample of Chia Goodness Apple Almond Cinnamon Cereal to review, and since I was already hip to the "new concept" thanks to my experience with Chia Goodness Cranberry Ginger Cereal, I knew what to expect ... that this should not be eaten as a cereal!
Now don't get me wrong - I ADORE Chia Goodness Apple Almond Cinnamon Cereal - but the tag line should be something like, "we make cereal better." And I say that because one serving is 2 tablespoons, which provides 130 calories from 6 grams of total fat, 0.5 grams of which is saturated (9% and 3% of the daily value), 4 grams of fiber (16% of the DV), 4 grams of sugars and 4 grams of protein ... no way I could eat 2 tablespoons of anything and call it breakfast!
So I add this to stuff - and it makes it better. I add Chia Goodness to plain cereal, like the ever so nutritious yet slightly bland Weetabix Organic Crispy Flakes & Fiber Cereal - it makes it taste better - interesting texture from the chia seeds and almonds, plus it makes it even more nutritious! I add Chia Goodness to plain oatmeal - it makes it 10x better. I add it to plain yogurt - wowza!
The ingredients in Chia Goodness Apple Almond Cinnamon Cereal are chia, buckwheat, hulled hemp seeds, dehydrated apples, almonds, raisins, organic cane sugar, cinnamon, Celtic sea salt. A 12 ounce bag costs $7.50 online (via their website), which is not as expensive as it seems - a bag has about 11 servings, and I don't typically use more than 1 serving at a time.
This has become a staple in my pantry - I've started to automatically reach for this when I make oatmeal in the mornings.

Hi All; I have been trying to get a copy of the worm calculator by Marauder01. I don't know if he still has internet access because he is not responding. I contacted a couple of the people that requested it and both responded they either didn't get a copy or the file had a viral problem. I am looking for a clean copy to play with as the weather is keeping me house bound. I'm tired of playing solitare and Hearts on my computer. I'll welcome any help I can get. My email is firstname.lastname@example.com
Thanks larry |

Got ya covered big larry! LOL. Srry, haven't been around the forums lately. I've just sent a good copy of my calc to you. It shouldn't have any problems. Cheers |
Thanks Jay I recieved and checked. It's OK larry |
I am not sure what "worm calculator" is, but it sounds interesting. Why would anyone want or need one? And, as I assume, there are good reasons for it, how does one get one? All the best, |
Hi Le; The worm calculator is a Microsoft Excel spread sheet book that calculates short and long term worm population increase possibilities. You input the amount of worms and the sheet then makes future weekly production probibilities. A forcaster of biomass if you will. |
- Posted by marauder01 (My Page) on Wed, Feb 23, 11 at 4:41
I like that, bio-mass calculator. Sounds like a NASA experiment! lol. Cool. Just post your email address and I'll send you a copy. As Larry said, it calculates weekly growth based on conservative assumptions. In the tests I did, it's close to right for MY conditions, to a point. In 9 months, it was accurate. After that, I didn't expand my system, therefore the population didn't match the numbers. You'll see if you plug in some numbers. My goal was to be able to predict when populations would boom, and when I would have enough worms to give away 1000 per week indefinately. If I knew how to do an iphone app, this would cost you a dollar or two, but since I don't, it's FREE!! lol. Eat it Steve Jobs! lol. |

Shaul, Thank you for such a logical spreadsheet. I do have a few questions re the bins information, but I assume it has some connection with weights and sales of worms which does not affect me as I want every worm i can get. I will contact you off line as I think that section will be very advantageous to me once I have had some advice. Thanks again J |

Just to be clear, so that there are no misunderstandings. The Worm Calculator is not my creation, so I don't have any more information about it than anyone else does. I'm just continuing what Marauder started (see the beginning of this thread) by sending it out to whoever asks. Shaul |
For anyone wanting to know more about the Calculator, I would suggest reading this thread from beginning to end. http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/verm/msg1022522012937.html While most of it is Marauder sending it out to people, it does contain bits & pieces of information which may help.

Marauder01, with your spreadsheet, I started out with only half of a worm with a 10% loss per week and one worm per egg capsule. And still end up with over a pound of worms. |
Go back and read through the Whole Thread from the beginning and then you'll understand. Shaul |
- Posted by equinoxequinox (My Page) on Tue, May 14, 13 at 2:09
I have been contemplating this post for over a year now, since when Marauder01 had it. I think I am the only vermicomposter in the world who has not requested a clean copy of the calculator. Perhaps if I had downloaded it sooner my worms would have multiplied better. But, alas, my worms do not know how to read, nor calculate, thus they will remain at a rate of growth that seems to me as if I started with half a worm (.5?) with a 10% loss per week and one worm per egg capsule. 'cepting I don't ever see any egg capsules. (In my old system.) The worm calculator sounds very fun. Marauder01 no doubt knew how to raise them worms. But even way back when "Go back and read through the Whole Thread from the beginning." I had my doubts on the calculations. While the requests are many there have been zero to my knowledge "and that is the results I got" replies. I am glad Shaul had a "clean copy" I guess this means without information keyed into it already, fresh for a wormer to add their facts and figures to. This is a request for a new post titled something like "My Results Matched the Worm Calculator". Perhaps bin type, time vermicoposting, feeding material and rate, bedding and rate, reason for vermicomposting, rid of kitchen waste, sell worms, sell vermicompost could be included. Alternate is Worm Calculator needs re calibrating if conditions are not ideal. This is my results. Shaul you have no doubt read lots about vermicomposting. In your readings, do vermicomposter's results match the under ideal conditions Worm Calculator? Would running the calculations for two or thee years result in a world filled with worms and no people? Does the system balance out due to people stopping meeting the needs? |

Yesterday, I wrote a message on this subject that was all about how during my years of worming my processes and techniques and observances had just about completely changed the way I started doing things...you know, after reading "Worms Eat My Garbage" and all the other Holy Grail's that people cash in on by selling all those expertises to us. What I have learned after all these years is there ain't one way, or a best way, or a breakthrough. Simplicity and common sense and diversity and moderation and patience and worms are all that you need. I trash-canned that slanderous, self-righteous sounding post because I haven't read most of the thread, wont, and cannot care less....and know nothing about the Worm Calculator-clean or otherwise. Then, EQ2 posted his thoughts. Bravo. Chuckiebtoo |
- Posted by equinoxequinox (My Page) on Wed, May 15, 13 at 2:36
Having specifically, mostly on this board but also on a few other non-worm boards, written more slanderous, self-righteous sounding posts over the years, including some as a moderator, that possibly should have been trash-caned than one should be allowed, I still sometimes click on that "post" button. Then freak and hope I did not crush someone's good efforts or that I did crush somebody's advertising efforts. I have read most of the thread and it goes like this: Sweet person politely requests copy of calculator. After some address paperwork the request is sent. Sweet person thanks profusely. Rinse and Repeat. Never heard from again. Nobody has ever come back to say it was da bomb. As the calculator's originator has not been heard from in a while the job was take up and the process maintained. The best judge as to if the calculator is accurate or if everybody just figures they are not doing it right thus do not get the expected results would be Shaul. Actually everybody who has ever requested the calculator would be qualified to say if the calculator worked. If the calculator did not work possibly we as a team could rework it for what hobbiests could expect under real working conditions not ideal laboratory conditions. I am not quite sure why out of hundreds(?) of calculator requester's never did even one return back and comment upon how it worked for them. It is like they all left and have tons upon tons of worms working away for them and those of use here however have worm issues we are discussing. |
Here are all of Marauder's posts on his 'Worm Calculator'. I have copy/pasted all of them in chronological order, culling out anything that didn't directly apply. Shaul Posted by marauder01 (My Page) on Hi all. I'm slowly trying to move towards increasing my herd to cover my family's waste needs, and also giving away as many worms to friends as I can (ie if I started with 1000, how long would it take before I could give away 1000 per week indefinitely?). Anyway, I have made a little excel spreadsheet to try and calculate just how fast a population could grow. Yes I can hear you now saying "...but there are many factors involved....yada..yada..." lol. True, but you have to start somewhere. My VERY conservative assumptions are these: I have also added input boxes for starting number, and weekly loses (ie start with 100 mature worms, lose 10% per week, etc) Guess how many you'd get in a year? lol What do you think of my assumptions? Are they reasonable (given fair conditions, food and space)? Posted by marauder01 (My Page) on I know! It seems to be soooo slow at the start. I had a similar experience with mine too. I got impatient in the end and bought another 4000 to boot things along. I'll send the calc soonest, but remember, the numbers out of it are theoretical (but possible). It will be interesting to trial a bin and compare it to the calc. I will start a new tote next week (already seasoning one now) with say 50 little fellas and see how it builds across time. Not exactly a clinical trial, but it will server my purpose, and let me modify my expectations (and the calc) to suit me and the way I run a wormery. Posted by marauder01 (My Page) on I have also added a weight calc (based on 1000 per lb) and you can now enter the number of young per cocoon. I have also timelined it a bit, so you can enter a start date (past present or future) and it'll tell you when you have how many. Posted by marauder01 (My Page) on I'll be interested to see how close I can tune it for my own herd management. Posted by marauder01 (My Page) on It will never be 100% accurate, but it gives you a ball park idea of how the breeding process works. Posted by marauder01 (My Page) on I based the calcs on 10 weeks to be conservative, but am now convinced the time is actually shorter (maybe 5-7 weeks). One other nice thing is now you can predict when the population will boom, and feed / divide accordingly! Remember, when you talk life cycle, it's birth (ie cocoon layed) right up to laying a cocoon itself. So for eg. cocoon takes 4 - 8 week to hatch, baby to adult (breeder) another 6 - 8 weeks, cocoon layed. So total life cycle would be between 14-18 weeks (IMHO) Posted by marauder01 (My Page) on "It calculates weekly growth based on conservative assumptions. In the tests I did, it's close to right for MY conditions, to a point. In 9 months, it was accurate. After that, I didn't expand my system, therefore the population didn't match the numbers. You'll see if you plug in some numbers. Posted by marauder01 (My Page) on Columns G-R = enter a start date (in yellow at the top), for a tote, and predict what the weight of worm will be in the following weeks by looking at column G-H. Only enter data in the yellow boxes The dates you find to start with are from my early totes. |
Well, I for one can say that I didn't post any results because I haven't had any. When Shaul sent me the copy, I sat and studied it for a while, plugged in some numbers, and got totally confused. I admit the numbers were total guesswork. My bin had been going for a while and I had no idea (and still don't know) how many worms there are. After reading Shaul's most recent post, I think it makes a bit more sense now, but I have to wonder if the main reason no one has posted results is because a lot of worm composters, after getting the calculator, realize as I did that they just don't need to know exactly how many worms they have or could produce. The bins are just for their own use and the calculator is way more complicated than it has to be for home use. Maybe I'm way off base, but that was why for me. :) Lynn |
Three points to remember. Oct. 23, 2009. " excel spreadsheet to try and calculate just how fast a population could grow." Jan. 25, 2010. " It will never be 100% accurate, but it gives you a ball park idea of how the breeding process works." Shaul |

Dear All, I have made a calculator which ncludes the marauder (thenk you!) section. I have made it so all variables can be changed so you can create scenarios. It is essentiall y for commercial vermicomposting but the home composter can still work out the numbers by entering the purchase quantity on a date and then at one point sorting the worms into a total group and weighing them. 1 gram (sorry I don't use ounces) is good for the average red wiggler but you will have to take an average if you use night crawlers as they are bigger, etc. You can then determine how many you have as a total mixed. This will give you an idea for modifying the variables and this will give you a very close figure. If you purchase more worms later i have included a column for that entry. If you want to sell vermicompost then add in your selling price and the percentage return you expect i.ie. 1 kg waste = 50% VC. You will then see if you can make a profit or loss. I have also included start up costs and running costs which will affect the profit margin. Start up costs are spread over 10 months. It does work. |
I'd like a copy of the worm calculator. My address is glossostigma (_ot_) yahoo ~Thanks! |

Not sure if I posted this here before or not. Any tweaks or changes? I plan to use this for my Black Crusade game I currently have.
Obliterator Virus - Carrier
Tier: 1
Prerequisite: Ballistic Skill 30, Weapon Skill 30, Toughness 30, Weapon Training (any)
Having caught the virus while near the Screaming Vortex the character has become a host for virus. After spending a day bonding with his weapons he no longer needs to worry about ammunition. As a free action the character can reloaded the bonded weapons that he holds. During this stage he is a danger to those around him, every hour spent near the character they must make a Difficult Toughness test or become carriers of the virus, only those who take this talent can gain its benefits. This talent does not favor any one god and does not count towards gaining alignment and count as neutral for determining how much experience must be spent.
Obliterator Virus - Host
Tier: 2
Prerequisite: Obliterator Virus - Carrier, Ballistic Skill 40, Weapon Skill 40, Toughness 40, Hip Shooting or Marksman, at least 2 Weapon Training (any)
The virus has continued to mutate within the character granting them further abilities that most could not hope to have. Melee and pistol weapons can be absorbed into the body to be recreated later, these absorbed weapons cannot be detected when scanned. The daemonic nature of the virus has begun to assert itself more fully and the armor the character wears can longer be removed though pieces can be added to increase its protection. The virus can no longer be transmitted to others at this stage.
Obliterator Virus - Ascendant
Tier: 3
Prerequisite: Obliterator Virus - Host, Ballistic Skill 50, Weapon Skill 50, Toughness 50, at least 3 Weapon Training (any)
The virus has become ascendant and its host is reborn into something new and terrifying. They gain the Daemonic (2) quality and the weapons they fire are now tainted by warp energy. In addition they can regenerate from wounds received at a rate of 1 wound per turn. Their size increases by one step and they can no longer blend in with normal society. The Obliterator can absorb any weapon though his body bulges and twists to accept it. He can choose to spread the virus to others with a touch and they must make a Difficult Toughness check to pass.

Ultima Vez Modificado: 1 de noviembre del 2001
Last Updated: 2001-02-07 17:30:40 EST (Reuters Health) - Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-4, a member of the transforming growth factor-beta superfamily, inhibits proliferation of multiple myeloma cells and cell lines, according to a report in the January 15th issue of Blood.
In their introduction, the authors explain that bone morphogenetic proteins regulate growth, differentiation, and apoptosis in various cell lines and have been shown to modulate growth and differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells in adult mice. Also, interleukin (IL)-6 induces proliferation and prevents apoptosis of multiple myeloma cells.
Dr. Oyvind Hjertner and colleagues from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim tested the effects of BMP-4 on freshly isolated multiple myeloma (MM) cells and on MM cell cultures and evaluated its influence on IL-6-induced changes in MM cell cultures.
BMP-4 reduced DNA synthesis in IL-6-dependent MM cell lines, but not in IL-6-independent MM cell lines, the researchers report. BMP-4 also induced apoptosis in two IL-6-dependent cell lines. They also found that BMP-4 counteracted the upregulation of Stat3 protein by IL-6 (a possible mechanism of IL-6's anti-apoptotic effects) in the two cell lines tested.
Four of 13 freshly isolated, primary myeloma cell cultures showed >10% loss of viability in response to BMP-4 treatment, the investigators say, and 3 of the 13 cell cultures proliferated in response to IL-6. BMP-4 at least partly counteracted the effects of IL-6 in all three of these latter cultures.
"Our data suggest that treatment with BMP-4 or its analogues should be tried in animal models and possibly in patients with MM," Dr. Hjertner and colleagues conclude. "The activation of BMP receptors may reduce tumor burden and ameliorate bone disease, and it represents a new target for the treatment of this disease."
Sep 29, 2010 - Targeting c-Met, a receptor for hepatocyte growth factor that plays a role in growth, invasion, and metastasis of liver cancer, may be useful in treating patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and c-Met positive tumors, according to research presented at the American Association for Cancer Research International Conference on Molecular Diagnostics in Cancer Therapeutic Development, held from Sept. 27 to 30 in Denver.

Paul's account of his conversion. (1-11) Paul directed to preach to the Gentiles. (12-21) The rage of the Jews Paul pleads that he is a Roman citizen. (22-30)
Verses 1-11 The apostle addressed the enraged multitude, in the customary style of respect and good-will. Paul relates the history of his early life very particularly; he notices that his conversion was wholly the act of God. Condemned sinners are struck blind by the power of darkness, and it is a lasting blindness, like that of the unbelieving Jews. Convinced sinners are struck blind as Paul was, not by darkness, but by light. They are for a time brought to be at a loss within themselves, but it is in order to their being enlightened. A simple relation of the Lord's dealings with us, in bringing us, from opposing, to profess and promote his gospel, when delivered in a right spirit and manner, will sometimes make more impression that laboured speeches, even though it amounts not to the full proof of the truth, such as was shown in the change wrought in the apostle.
Verses 12-21 The apostle goes on to relate how he was confirmed in the change he had made. The Lord having chosen the sinner, that he should know his will, he is humbled, enlightened, and brought to the knowledge of Christ and his blessed gospel. Christ is here called that Just One; for he is Jesus Christ the righteous. Those whom God has chosen to know his will, must look to Jesus, for by him God has made known his good-will to us. The great gospel privilege, sealed to us by baptism, is the pardon of sins. Be baptized, and wash away thy sins; that is, receive the comfort of the pardon of thy sins in and through Jesus Christ, and lay hold on his righteousness for that purpose; and receive power against sin, for the mortifying of thy corruptions. Be baptized, and rest not in the sign, but make sure of the thing signified, the putting away of the filth of sin. The great gospel duty, to which by our baptism we are bound, is, to seek for the pardon of our sins in Christ's name, and in dependence on him and his righteousness. God appoints his labourers their day and their place, and it is fit they should follow his appointment, though it may cross their own will. Providence contrives better for us than we do for ourselves; we must refer ourselves to God's guidance. If Christ send any one, his Spirit shall go along with him, and give him to see the fruit of his labours. But nothing can reconcile man's heart to the gospel, except the special grace of God.
Verses 22-30 The Jews listened to Paul's account of his conversion, but the mention of his being sent to the Gentiles, was so contrary to all their national prejudices, that they would hear no more. Their frantic conduct astonished the Roman officer, who supposed that Paul must have committed some great crime. Paul pleaded his privilege as a Roman citizen, by which he was exempted from all trials and punishments which might force him to confess himself guilty. The manner of his speaking plainly shows what holy security and serenity of mind he enjoyed. As Paul was a Jew, in low circumstances, the Roman officer questioned how he obtained so valuable a distinction; but the apostle told him he was free born. Let us value that freedom to which all the children of God are born; which no sum of money, however large, can purchase for those who remain unregenerate. This at once put a stop to his trouble. Thus many are kept from evil practices by the fear of man, who would not be held back from them by the fear of God. The apostle asks, simply, Is it lawful? He knew that the God whom he served would support him under all sufferings for his name's sake. But if it were not lawful, the apostle's religion directed him, if possible, to avoid it. He never shrunk from a cross which his Divine Master laid upon his onward road; and he never stept aside out of that road to take one up.
Acts 22:1-30 . PAUL'S DEFENSE FROM THE STAIRS OF THE FORTRESS--THE RAGE OF THE AUDIENCE BURSTING FORTH, THE COMMANDANT HAS HIM BROUGHT INTO THE FORT TO BE EXAMINED BY SCOURGING, BUT LEARNING THAT HE IS A ROMAN, HE ORDERS HIS RELEASE AND COMMANDS THE SAMHEDRIM TO TRY HIM.
2. when they heard . . . the Hebrew
they kept the more silence--They could have understood him in Greek, and doubtless fully expected the renegade to address them in that language, but the sound of their holy mother tongue awed them into deeper silence.
3. a Jew of Tarsus, brought up in this city, at the a fact of great importance in the apostle's history, standing in the same relation to his future career as Moses' education in the Egyptian court to the work for which he was destined.
the perfect manner of the law of the fathers--the strictest form of traditional Judaism.
zealous--"a zealot."
toward God as ye all are this day--his own former murderous zeal against the disciples of the Lord Jesus being merely reflected in their present treatment of himself.
5. the high priest--still alive.
doth bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders--the whole Sanhedrim.
8. Jesus of Nazareth--the Nazarene.
12. Ananias, a devout man, according to the law, having a good report of all the Jews which dwelt there--One would not know from this description of Ananias that he was a Christian at all, the apostles object being to hold him up as unexceptionable, even to the most rigid Jews.
13-15. The God of our fathers hath chosen thee--studiously linking the new economy upon the old, as but the sequel of it; both having one glorious Author.
14. that thou shouldest . . . see that--"the"
Just One--compare Acts 3:14 , 7:52 .
hear the voice of his mouth--in order to place him on a level with the other apostles, who had "seen the [risen] Lord."
16. be baptized and wash away thy sins--This way of speaking arises from baptism being the visible seal of remission.
calling on the name of the Lord--rather, "having called," that is, after having done so; referring to the confession of Christ which preceded baptism, as Acts 8:37 .
17-21. it came to pass, &c.--This thrilling dialogue between the glorified Redeemer and his chosen vessel is nowhere else related.
when I was come again to Jerusalem--on the occasion mentioned in Acts 9:26-29 .
while I prayed in the temple--He thus calls their attention to the fact that after his conversion he kept up his connection with the temple as before.
18. get . . . quickly out of Jerusalem--compare Acts 9:29 .
for they will not receive thy testimony . . . And I said, Lord, they know, &c.--"Can it be, Lord, that they will resist the testimony of one whom they knew so well as among the bitterest of all against Thy disciples, and whom nothing short of resistless evidence could have turned to Thee?"
21. depart for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles--that is, "Enough; thy testimony is not to be thrown away upon Jerusalem; the Gentiles, afar off, are thy peculiar sphere."
22, 23. gave him audience to this word . . . then . . . Away with such a fellow from the earth, &c.--Their national prejudices lashed into fury at the mention of a mission to the Gentiles, they would speedily have done to him as they did to Stephen, but for the presence and protection of the Roman officer.
24-26. examined by scourging--according to the Roman practice.
that he might know wherefore they cried so--Paul's speech being to him in an unknown tongue, he concluded from the horror which it kindled in the vast audience that he must have been guilty of some crime.
25. Paul said to the centurion that stood by--to superintend the torture and receive the confession expected to be wrung from him.
Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman,
27-29. art thou a Roman?--showing that this being of Tarsus, which he had told him before ( Acts 21:39 ) did not necessarily imply that he was a Roman citizen.
28. With a great sum obtained I this freedom--Roman citizenship was bought and sold in the reign of Claudius, we know, at a high price: at a subsequent date, for next to nothing. But to put in a false claim to this privilege was a capital crime.
I was free born--born to it, by purchase, or in reward of services, on the part of his father or some ancestor.
29. chief captain also was afraid,
30. commanded the chief priests and all their council to appear--that is, the Sanhedrim to be formally convened. Note here the power to order a Sanhedrim to try this case, assumed by the Roman officers and acquiesced in on their part.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Reviewed by Automobile Magazine on 1/31/2012
The 2012 GMC Yukon XL 1500 is a full-size SUV with plenty of character and impressive features to impress. Based on the popular Chevrolet Suburban, the Yukon shares a lot of traits with its older sibling. Available in three trim levels and with two powertrains, the Yukon has no trouble keeping up with the competition on the road. For many people, the enormous cargo capacity is another Yukon trait that makes this vehicle worth taking a look at. Overall, the Yukon XL 1500 is a good choice for anyone that doesn't mind spending at the gas pumps to get plenty of style, space, and power.
Not much changed for the GMC Yukon XL 1500 for the 2012 model year. The few changes made to the SUV are:
It's hard to miss the 2012 GMC Yukon XL 1500. This SUV is a full-size vehicle capable of seating up to nine people with the proper configuration. It is available in three trim levels, the SLE, SLT, and the Denali versions. The Yukon XL 1500 still retains many of the features it shares with its older sibling, the Chevrolet Suburban. The Yukon has a wide, truck like front end and grille. The grille is spacious and sports the GMC emblem prominently in the center. The headlights flanking the grille are square and large for optimum night vision. Details are noted on the hood, fenders, and doors of the Yukon. The XL has just enough dramatic styling to add to the appearance of the SUV without taking it to over the top proportions. The lower trim levels of the Yukon XL 1500 ride around on 17-inch alloy wheels, while the Denali trim comes with 20-inch alloy wheels.
Like the exterior of the 2012 GMC Yukon XL 1500 the cabin of the SUV is rather no nonsense, though comfortable. This SUV is available with either bucket or bench style front seats. With the bench design, the Yukon XL 1500 can carry up to nine people. The second row is also available with captain's chairs if desired. Third row seating is a standard feature.
The 2012 GMC Yukon XL 1500 is equipped with tons of cargo space, making this SUV option a good one for families or those who travel with a lot of equipment or cargo. With the second and third rows in place, the Yukon has 49 cubic feet of space. With the third seat removed and the second row folded down, the Yukon XL 1500 gives up 137.4 cubic feet to put all your stuff in.
While this SUV isn't the most luxurious on the market, it is well made with plenty of high quality materials. Most drivers appreciate the well placed dash gauges and controls. Both are easy to see and operate.
Besides having the 2012 GMC Yukon XL 1500 size and weight for protection, the SUV is equipped with plenty of standard safety equipment to make the job easier as well. This model is offered with anti-lock brakes, stability control, as well as an upgraded version of the OnStar program. Airbags are standard equipment too. The Yukon XL 1500 has airbags in the front side and side curtain positions.
In crash testing, the Yukon scored very well and was only stopped from receiving full marks on the overall score because of its rollover rate. In front, side, and rear impact testing, the SUV was ranked with the highest safety rating available.
With so much weight to move around, the 2012 GMC Yukon XL 1500 naturally needs a powerful engine. This model is equipped with a 5.3-liter, V-8 engine paired with a six-speed automatic transmission as the only gearbox choice. This powertrain produces 320 hp and 335 lb-ft of torque. Fuel economy comes in at 14/20 mpg city/highway for the 5.3-liter, V-8 powertrain.
The Denali version comes with a 6.2-liter, V-8 engine coupled with the same transmission. This model is available with an all-wheel drive system. This powertrain is capable of 403 hp and 407 lb-ft of torque. The fuel economy for the Yukon XL 1500 Denali is 12/19 mpg city/highway. Neither powertrain is going to win any awards for efficient gas mileage.
Driving the 2012 GMC Yukon XL 1500 has some impressive traits especially for such a large vehicle. Both versions, but especially the Denali, are quicker than most would expect from a full-size SUV. The cabin is quiet and the ride very comfortable, making it a good choice for long trips. This isn't the most graceful vehicle and the handling is a bit difficult due to the vehicle's size.

With sincere apologies (and a significant amount of gratitude) to Paul Harvey and Dodge, TU's communications staff recently produced the introductory video to Chris Wood's annual State of TU presentation (stay tuned--the whole speech will be online shortly) to membership at last week's annual meeting in Madison, Wisc.
After working with TU volunteers around the country for the better part of a decade, I don't think I could have said it better than we did in this short video. Enjoy... and thank you, volunteers, for all you do to make fishing better.

Mon, 26 Jan 2015 20:27:12 -0800 Green Bay Packers OT Bryan Bulaga earned praise from QB Aaron Rodgers, who said that re-signing Bulaga and keeping the offensive line intact will be important if the team is going to remain successful.

Comment () | Share: | Source: The Arizona Republic - Zach Buchanan Thu, 22 Jan 2015 12:52:31 -0800 Green Bay Packers LB Clay Matthews was fined $22,050 for an illegal blindside hit in the NFC Championship game.

"Of course (I want to be back). I think I've made that obvious," Cobb said. "Like I've said before: This is a business. You don't know how it's going to go. What direction it's going to go in. You just have to sit around. I hope that I've put myself in the position where it'll handle itself. But only time can tell." Fantasy Tip: At this point, it's obvious that the Cobb and Aaron Rodgers connection in Green Bay is fantasy football gold, especially in point-per-reception leagues. If Cobb re-signs and continues that connection, expect more good things with Cobb as a top-tier wideout option. Comment () | Share: | Source: NFL.com - Chris Wesseling Packers | Randall Cobb OK after hospital visit Sun, 18 Jan 2015 12:44:38 -0800 Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb spent three hours in a Seattle hospital Saturday, Jan. 17, due to an undisclosed ailment.

Comment () | Share: | Source: USA TODAY Sports - Nancy Armour Packers | Aaron Rodgers still dealing with pain Sat, 17 Jan 2015 10:41:39 -0800 Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers (calf) said his calf injury was painful the entire game last weekend against the Dallas Cowboys and that it was a little worse after the team's win. Rodgers admitted that it's simply of matter of dealing with the pain, adding that he's having treatment around the clock and the calf will be good Sunday. Fantasy Tip: Rodgers ($8,600, 17.2) still showed he can succeed even when he's not at 100 percent, throwing for 316 yards and three touchdowns against Dallas. The fact remains that he could be a risky option for FantasyScore lineups, however. He'll be playing in one of the most hostile environments against one of the stingiest pass defenses in the NFL. Comment () | Share: | Source: FOXSportsWisconsin.com - Paul Imig Packers | Darren Perry to Atlanta? Fri, 16 Jan 2015 23:27:05 -0800 Green Bay Packers safeties coach Darren Perry could be a defensive coordinator candidate with the Atlanta Falcons if Teryl Austin gets hired as head coach. Comment () | Share: | Source: ESPN.com - Michael Rothstein Packers | Eddie Lacy says knee is fine Fri, 16 Jan 2015 17:39:49 -0800 Green Bay Packers RB Eddie Lacy (knee) said that his left knee was sore but fine Friday, Jan. 16. "I'm not concerned," Lacy said. "I'm chillin'." Fantasy Tip: At this point, fantasy owners should be more concerned with the Packers' opponent Sunday than with the status of Lacy's knee. He is a safe bet to suit up, but he could struggle to produce against a Seattle defense that is firing on all cylinders. His $7,200 salary (14.4% of cap) at FantasyScore is far from appealing. Comment () | Share: | Source: ESPNWisconsin.com - Jason Wilde Seahawks | Marshawn Lynch probable against Packers Fri, 16 Jan 2015 14:12:39 -0800 Seattle Seahawks RB Marshawn Lynch (non-injury) practiced in full for the second straight day Friday, Jan. 16, and is probable for the NFC Championship game against the Green Bay Packers Sunday, Jan. 18. Fantasy Tip: Lynch ($7,300, 14.6% of cap) is pretty much a no-brainer option at FantasyScore this weekend against the Packers. Can you really afford to pass Beast Mode up when the rest of your competition is likely to have him in their lineups? Comment () | Share: | Source: Seahawks.com |
