text: | Dáil Éireann - Volume 553 - 26 June, 2002 Written Answers. - Science Education. Mr. P. Breen Mr. P. Breen 99. Mr. P. Breen asked the Minister for Education and Science the way in which he intends to increase participation in science subjects at second level; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14777/02] Mr. N. Dempsey Mr. N. Dempsey Minister for Education and Science (Mr. N. Dempsey): I am very conscious of the importance of these subjects in a modern educational system. My Department is very active in implementing strategies to increase participation in them. Provisional data for the school year 2001-02 indicate that 42.5% of the leaving certificate cohort of students were studying biology. The corresponding figures for chemistry and physics were 12.3% and 17.0%, respectively. The latter figures indicate slightly increased participation rates in physics and chemistry. 1460 New leaving certificate syllabi in physics and chemistry were introduced in September 2000 and were examined for the first time this year. As well as the addition of up to date content, these syllabi have an increased emphasis on student practical work and on the interface between science, technology and society. A new leaving cer[1460] tificate syllabus in biology is being introduced in September. At junior certificate level a course committee of the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment has produced a draft of a new science syllabus. This draft has been circulated among the education partners for discussion. At the end of this process a final draft of the syllabus will be submitted to my Department for approval. An extensive three year in-career development programme for teachers of physics and chemistry was established in September 1999 as part of a comprehensive physical sciences initiative. There are plans to extend this programme for another year. An in-career development programme for teachers of biology has been put in place in the current school year. Laboratory resources are an important element in the delivery of a modern science curriculum. As a further part of the physical sciences initiative capital grants to a total of over €13,000 have been provided to each school offering the physical sciences for the purchase of laboratory equipment, including ICT equipment. In addition, a special annual per capita grant is being paid to schools in respect of each pupil taking a physical science subject at leaving certificate level. Furthermore, schools that currently have a capital project in architectural planning will have their science laboratories upgraded as an integral element of the capital project. A task force on the physical sciences was established over 18 months ago. The brief of this task force was to identify the issues contributing to the falling uptake of the physical sciences at both second and third level and to recommend additional measures to address these issues. The task force reported earlier this year and its report has now been circulated for consultation. The consultation period extends to 1 September. At that stage my Department will initiate an implementation process based on the recommendations contained in the report and on submissions received. Question No. 100 answered with Question No. 79.

Activision first teased that it had big changes in store for its Tony Hawk franchise in May 2008, when publishing label president Mike Griffith said of the skateboarding series that it "won't be your father's Tony Hawk." Little was it suspected that Griffith's statement was actually quite literal, in that Tony Hawk: Ride's all-new skateboard peripheral doesn't exactly accommodate those with rickety knees or a weak back.
Gamers will soon have a chance to hop on that new peripheral, as Activision announced today that Tony Hawk: Ride will be available in North America on November 17, with the British and German release following on November 20. Though Activision has yet to announce a price point for the peripheral-equipped Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii title, retailers have indicated Tony Hawk: Ride will sell for $120.
Tony Hawk: Ride's most distinctive feature is, of course, the wireless full-sized skate deck that comes with the game. According to Activision, the board will use "a combination of accelerometers and motion sensors" and will require no other controller.
The game will also include a comprehensive in-game roster of some of the biggest names in professional skateboarding. Paul Rodriquez, Lyn-Z Adams Hawkins, Christian Hosoi, Cara Beth Burnside, and Mike Mo Capaldi are among the 12 sponsored skaters to appear in the game.
With Tony Hawk creators Neversoft tied up on Activision's lucrative Guitar Hero franchise, Chicago developer Robomodo has been given the reins to the Tony Hawk franchise. For more information, check out GameSpot's previous coverage of Tony Hawk: Ride.

Wild Mercury Sound
The Wild Mercury Sound Best 143 Albums Of 2013
OK, I've managed to remember 143 albums that came out this year and that I liked. As in previous years, I didn't see much point in hacking my list down to a Top 100, or Top 50, or whatever. While it'd be a stretch to claim every one is an imperishable classic, I do feel broadly confident recommending them all.
Another caveat: I've spent a bit of time trying to put them in some kind of order, but realistically a lot of the placings are pretty arbitrary below the Top 30 or Top 50 – and not, of course, exactly scientific in the upper echelons, either. For a more assiduous and calculated rundown of the year's best albums, I should refer you to the current issue of Uncut, where you'll find a mathematically rigorous Top 80 that was voted for by almost 50 of the magazine's staff and contributors.
Since the Uncut list was published, I've seen some comments online express surprise at the inclusion of Roy Harper's "Man & Myth". The chart was voted for and compiled before Harper's charges became public, in answer to your questions, and I can't speculate on how our writers would have acted if that hadn't been the case. As you'll see, though, I've included "Man & Myth" in my list, because I wanted it to be accurately representative of the music I've played and enjoyed over the last year. At this point, I can't honestly say when I will want to hear that record again, but that doesn't strike me as relevant to a retrospective list like this one.
Anyhow, please let me know what you make of my Top 143. I've added plenty of links to things I've written about the albums, and also to pieces on some of them by my colleagues at Uncut. I'm sure there are a few albums I've forgotten - remind me! - and I'd also welcome your personal charts in the comments box at the bottom of all this. A quick thank you, too, for all your engagement and support over the year; as ever, it's very much appreciated. I seem to be blessed with the most enthusiastic, least snarky commenters on the internet, and I'm very grateful for that. Thanks again.

Twin Shadow and Phantogram Perform at Grand Central December 2
Categories: Art Basel Miami Beach
Photo by Samantha West |
Twin Shadow. |
Twin Shadow will be taking the stage with girl-guy music duo, Phantogram, come December 2 at Grand Central.
We last saw Phantogram's Sarah Barthel and Joshua Carter in October when they stopped by the Electric Pickle on tour. Between Bathel's sultry voice and breathtaking presence, and Cartier's musicianship on guitar, we're sure the gig at the Grand will be worth fitting into your tight-nit Basel schedule. Phantogram's buzz doesn't seem like it will let up any time soon and their "beat influenced, indie pop" is in high demand, so we suggest you get to a show while you can.
In the meantime, get a taste of Twin Shadow in his video for "Slow." It gives a little taste of the '80s and an amusing parody of those CK commercials. The latest commercial features half-Dominican beauty, Zoe Saldana. We're guessing all that seriousness is in the blood.
A live version of "Slow" at NYC's Mercury Lounge.
Twin Shadow with Phantogram. Thursday, December 2. Grand Central, 697 N Miami Ave., Miami. Tickets sales TBA. Call 305-377-2277 or visit grandcentralmiami.com.

Daugherty back, but in new colors
Oregon fans should be used to seeing June Daugherty on the opposing bench when the Washington schools come to town. She spent the last 11 years at Washington, making nine postseason appearances.
But after last season, Daugherty was fired. That was the first major development in a highly tumultuous offseason for the coach. This week she returns to McArthur Court, but as the head coach at Washington State after taking the job there in April.

These days I find myself busy with all the sorting of my zines, packing of my luggage bit by bit, meeting up with my closest girlfriends, having good food and just fully utilizing what's left of my super short Winter break. I'm returning to Melbourne next Saturday. And I've decided to try and spend the whole of next week at home with my sister and parents. Just resting and prepping myself for second semester of Sophomore year.
I should really stay at home, catch enough sleep, and start working out my projects for next semester. I know I've got a few lined up already. I just need to sort them out bit by bit. Hmmm.
Alrightyo. Off to bed for now!

FRESNO, Calif. -
A Corcoran resident was arrested for student aid fraud today.
55-year-old Vera Reed was arrested today on an indictment previously returned by a federal grand jury.
The indictment charges Reed with financial aid fraud and theft of government property, and alleges that she falsely claimed to be a high school graduate so she could obtain federal Pell Grants totaling $14,812 to attend Fresno City College and West Hills College in Lemoore.
If convicted, Reed faces a maximum statutory penalty for financial aid fraud of five years in prison, and the maximum statutory penalty for theft of government property of 10 years in prison.

How #capandtr8tors have (unwittingly) made the case for Marco Rubio.
Wasting no moment after seeing the list of those eight wretched souls who betrayed us Friday on what could be the most important vote of their careers, I immediately started my search for primary challengers. Like many Republicans, I watched the vote with bated breath, wondering if Eric Cantor's whip team could deliver the final blow after John Boehner's triumphant parliamentary smackdown earlier in the day. Thus, when the final result came in, there was only one thing on my mind: vengeance.
I searched the internet until I found my prize: a self proclaimed political consultant and budding perrenial candidate in Delaware by the name of Christine O'Donnell. The uncontested Republican nominee was destroyed by Joe Biden in the 2008 race for Senate, even as Biden ran for Vice-President. However, I thought: Mike Castle, one of those wretched souls, is considering running in the upcoming special election to replace Ted Kaufman. Maybe we could support her... Maybe O'Donnell was underfunded... Maybe, with the right campaign, with the right support, she could be our weapon to give Mike Castle the electoral punishment he deserved--and show him that we hold people accountable...
The desire to find someone to run against Castle was immense. But then, reality set in: O'Donnell could never win, the GOP bench in the NE is virtually nonexistent, Beau Biden will soon return to attempt to claim his father's seat, and Mike Castle could be our only chance to stop him. This sniveling, traitorous bastard who just voted for, among other things, the largest tax in history, could be our only chance.
And, it was at that moment that my thought was completed: our only chance to defeat Cap and Trade will come in the early fall at the hands of the U.S. Senate. Post 2010, as we prepare to deal with the second half consequences of the President's term, can we afford to count on people like Mike Castle and Charlie Crist in the Senate to deliver for our principles when it really counts?
John Cornyn says that his justification for supporting Governor Crist was purely political: a crunch of name ID and popularity. Concurrently, with the notable and honorable exception of Senator Jim DeMint, the party establishment has rejected Marco Rubio as a hopeless candidate and a political liability. Through it all, our party leadership has clearly revealed itself as obsessed with the concept of electoral success and increasingly unconcerned with what this win-at-all-costs mentality means to not only our principles, but our chances of actually ever becoming a majority again.
It is clear that, should Charlie Crist be elected to the U.S. Senate, he will immediately cast himself in the mold of Mike Castle, and the Democrats will have one more ally on the other side of the aisle to betray his party's principles when they need him most. And, unless we can change, we will continue to support and (sometimes) elect candidates that will leave us at the altar. Instead of adhering to the true "big tent" values of the Republican party, we're whoring out the label of (R) to anyone who wants it, and paying big for the consequences. We've backed ourselves into a corner, and we have to find a way to get out.
What Marco Rubio represents is not just a return to conservativism, nor is it just a younger generation picking up the torch-- it's a collective realization that recruiting folks that are unwaveringly committed to a core set of values is the only way that we can both elect new Republicans and count on them once they're on the floor. If we can rebuild our backbench, nationwide, with people like him (they exist everywhere, we just have to find them), we can start the process of healing.
Ronald Reagan's famous 80/20 quip is a great justification for the big tent philosophy we should have as a party. Sure, many of us disagree on social issues, even a little on fiscal policy. But, as Republicans, we need to know where to draw the line, and we need to see the consequences that are playing out in front of us for failing to see where it is.
And, thus, the Republicans who voted for Friday's bill, including Rep. Castle, have shown us these consequences-- that, when you support lame candidates, you pay dearly. Who knows how Governor Crist will betray us if he's elected to the Senate-- the more important question: is there anyone who thinks he won't?
To me, one of the most depressing things about Friday's vote is that we're already locked into the consequences of this failure in Delaware in having to support Mike Castle. In 2010, I'm not stepping a foot inside the state of Delaware for any candidate. In public, I'll support Mike Castle. But, if Beau Biden wins, at least we're not fooling ourselves.
- The author, James Barnes, is the Chairman of the College Republicans of the District of Columbia and can be reached at email@example.com
...we could accept that Mike Castle would make a better Senator than Beau Biden and run Christine O'Donnell as a conservative replacement for his House seat. I'll bet that if Castle were the tiebreaker or made the difference in a cloture vote, he would have made different considerations.
I did read it
and I was responding to your point about not being able to trust Crist/Castle types in the Senate on key votes like the energy shakedown tax. I think the considerations in the Senate would be different, especially given that the rationale for these moderates' candidacies in some sense is to serve as a bulwark against Democrats' overreach. If cap/trade passes with the support of the likes of Sens. Collins and Snowe, I will eat my words.
That's a good point. At least Kirk and Castle didn't.
Castle and Kirk will not be much better than Specter
The problem Kirk and Castle present is that they end up ruining the GOP brand and do NOT stop Democrat overreach. We lost the Senate in part due to people like Spectre and here we are recreating that mistake! You cant get much worse than this cap-and-trade bill... is there anything on the liberal agenda these RINOs/mods cant sell us out on? ObamaCare? Amnesty? More spending?
Now I cannot support either NSRC or NRCC because of GOPers who support these bad bills. These moderate's are handmaidens to the liberals Democrats successes on many levels. They create disaffected conservatives sick of GOP 'wimpiness', they dilute the message on these issues, giving the liberals cover, and they validate criticism of the right. It's fox in the henhouse syndrome.
Even if it would risk having a less viable candidate, the RIGHT thing to do is to deny Mark Kirk and Castle the respective Senate nominations. Nominate candidates who dont fall for this very bad bill - it will be a popular position, to stand on the side of saving American jobs from a bill that will ship them overseas. We need to treat this vote as a career ender. If not, what happens in 2011 if and when they re-run the cap-and-trade playbook?!? Do we end up with Cap-and-traitors in the Senate giving the Democrats a win?
While this situation validates having Marco Rubio instead of Crist, it goes beyond that. it's time to have a few clear "must have" positions - for 2010, EVERY GOP candidate MUST oppose Obama on stimulus, on cap-and-trade, on ObamaCare, and on amnesty. If not, they are useless and dangerous in the next Congress.
The bench in DE is quite thin
I have to admit I've last followed politics there in the Reagan re-elect. (I knew the Reagan campaign director for the state) At that point the local party seemed quite robust. Now, not so much.

I have been a basketmaker for nearly 20 years. Now I have a new life that does not include a studio. I have 100+ patterns, molds, materials, etc. I have materials such as deer antlers, long pine needles, sweet grass, various types of tree barks, grasses, reed. Just all kinds of fibers and "stuff" for weaving all types of vessels, etc. I have loved basketweaving, but have really tired of teaching classes and workshops. I think it's time that I part with some of my treasures. I'm interested in trading for artwork, handwork, knitting/crochet supplies, other interesting handmade items. |

This is not a bad amp. However not as clean as i would expect from PPI which used to be a major player in the High end car audio market. Now they share almost identical platforms as their parent company sound stream. The x-over points indications are horribly marked making it difficult to select so you need to tune by ear. Pros: I prefer the screw type terminal strips, so this was a bonus for me. The price is another pro. Cons:The product manual is useless. It could use a bit more power. It would be if it was an AB/D amp, but you get what you pay for.

Hello! My name is Carmela & I live in Morris County, NJ. I have a beautiful English Bulldog named Gucci. I love him very much, and have taken very good care of him, but I simply do not have the proper time to give him the love and attention he needs. It breaks my heart making this decision but he deserves better... He has gotten all of his vaccinations, but he is not neutered. He is just three years old, and is very fun and playful. He is red brindle with a little white. I would like to sell him for $1,000. The price also includes the rest of his food, bed, toys, food dish, leash, shampoo, brush, and doggie bags. I also have all of his papers on file. I want to be very clear that whoever should adopt Gucci is willing to take very good care of him, and has a lifestyle more conducive to taking care of a bully. I would also love to be able to converse with whoever adopts him to see how he is doing. As I mentioned, I do love him very much, but my work schedule doesn't mesh well with having a dog.

Indian Wholesalers
Tips for Prospective Clients
For US based companies that aim to maximize product profit, they could rely on Indian wholesalers in order to achieve such goal. Opting for Indian wholesalers has various benefits and one of them is in terms of product prices. Typically, wholesale companies from India are highly competitive and this is quite apparent when it comes to the purchase amount they offer their clients. The best part is that despite this aggressive product pricing, which efficiently rivals other wholesale contractors from various parts of the globe such as those
from Southeast Asian and South American countries, the offered goods from India are equipped with sheer quality. These Indian wholesale suppliers' unwavering dedication toward product superiority makes it possible for their US clients to get more from their respective investments.
How to Find Wholesaler Companies in India
In order to spot the best and most reliable Indian wholesalers, here are a few trusted steps one could follow.
The first action a US based client should do is to make an exhaustive research in terms of
the available products from Indian wholesalers. Since there is a wide array of options one could possibly choose from, it is best to efficiently approximate the marketability of a particular product before making an actual order. This way a client would have a certain level of assurance that his or her investment would potentially translate into considerable profit.
Another critical step is in terms of familiarization with India's business laws and export guidelines. Through this a client could diminish the threat of possible law bypass caused by inter-country business transactions. This law-related information could be obtained by visiting the Indian Embassy and through consultation with a knowledgeable representative from the aforementioned office.
Also it would be best to acquire a directory of Indian wholesalers from the same office since the list that a US client would be provided with is sure to be the most credible pool of wholesalers.
Once a client has already obtained a list of these Indian wholesalers, the next step is to contact the preferred Indian supplier and ask for necessary information such as the availability of a product for wholesale purposes, price, and international shipment cost. It is
also best to know the wholesalers' set of wholesale business terms and guidelines.
The last step is to finally close a deal with one of the Indian wholesalers. Make sure to have a lawyer peruse the business contract before actually signing it so as to ensure that the basic stipulations of the transaction are adequately understood. Upon contract signing, a client could then wait for the product to be shipped to his or her specific location.
Wholesale Products from India
Government recognized and certified Indian wholesalers offer a variety of products. Here are some of the most sought after goods that US based companies could consider.
Technological Products.
This product umbrella is quite exhaustive and it includes air conditioners, auto accessories and parts, radiators, cables, computer-related goods, electronic equipment, electronic components, gym equipment and the like. For clients who are intent on further tapping the rewarding techno-market, these products from Indian wholesalers are
definitely recommended.
Industry-Specific Goods.
From the dental field to farming, there are various Indian wholesale companies that cater to these industries. Some of the products that fall under this category include dental
equipment, farm equipment, fertilizers, and laboratory equipment among many others.
Grooming and Hygiene.
Products from Indian wholesalers under this category include cosmetic products and even essential oils.
Lifestyle Apparel.
From jewelries to bags, clothing to footwear, these items are offered by different Indian wholesalers. Other must-consider goods include food
products, herbal products, books, beads, gemstones, diamonds, and many others.
Tips and Warnings
When choosing among the many Indian wholesalers, it is highly advised that a client communicate directly with the wholesaler. Usually the Indian wholesalers information found online will lead a client to a middle-man and in terms of a business transaction, this prospect is not entirely beneficial. That said it would be best to do ample research and correspond directly with a wholesale suppliers' main office or representative. This way one could ensure that he or she would get the best deal in terms of price.
The key to maintaining a rewarding relationship with any of the Indian wholesalers is to maintain business credibility and respect.
Here are some other Wholesale Sourcing sites that I have found for you to browse. Thanks for visiting Sourcing-3.com.

I am preparing to make a presentation on clematis to some local gardeners this spring, and was hoping I could include
how the clematis was named the "Queen of Vines". i.e. Who originated that, in what country, etc. Havent been able to find any info on the web as of yet, so thought I would try to get some feedback here. I'm even open to your own thoughts as to the history of these beautiful vines and why you would name them "queen"! |

Haven't a clue as to how clematis got that name dream gardener. Perhaps someone here has an idea. However, I would suggest you contact Edith Malek, the president of the American Clematis Society, since she is always using the term and may have some insight as to that. You can contact the American Clematis Society at firstname.lastname@example.com. |

I also have no idea where or when that tag became associated with clematis, but they have been referred to in that manner for many years. I would assume that is because of all the vines, clematis offer some of the showiest blooms, the greatest variety and the most adaptability to various locations. They have been cultivated and hybridized longer than any other flowering vine as well |
- Posted by unprofessional (My Page) on Wed, Feb 3, 10 at 10:15
Don't know about the name, offhand, but the Illustrated Encyclopedia of Clematis has an excellent history of clematis in it, including some wonderful old photos. |
- Posted by janetpetiole 4b (My Page) on Wed, Feb 3, 10 at 14:47
You could also ask at Garden Buddies forum. I'm sure someone will know. http://www.gardenbuddies.com/forums/clematis/ |

text: Sometimes it's hard not to mangle with Christmas traditions… all in fun, of course. I'm very intrigued by this Advent calendar, for example. My kids are incessantly singing some schoolyard hack of "Jingle Bells," and every time I hear "The Christmas Song" I'm reminded of a Christmas years ago when a friend who is known for writing his own versions of popular songs recorded a new outgoing message on their answering machine. I forget how the opening lines went, but his jingle ended like this:

This is beyond stupid. Pally Power is merely a tool of convenience. If you don't like it, that's fine. Blaming a tool for people being stupid, is just a massive failure determining what the problem actually is. If they are messing up because of pally power, then I can't imagine how not having such an addon would make them perform any better. Now, lets not digress this topic any further. If you wish to discuss the use of such addons create a new thread in the UI forum.

Is this SBF? if so do you do that with a new frame for each buff or is there a shorter way?
I keep a shortlist of in-combat buffs/procs (libram/trinket/sacred shield/bubblewall/divine plea and the like) near my healthbar so I dont have to sift through all my different buffs to see them, but i find the expanding/collapsing row means extra time to asess whats up at any given moment due to the icons jumping around.
Edit: to the OP,
Like others have said, RF will make a huge difference...
Many DPS nowdays in HC's are very much in a gogogo nukem fast mindset and so may be impatient regarding threat due to overgearing the places so much and being used to 15-20 min clears... Some will be more patient than others...
In beginning HC's as a tank what I found to be the most useful and nerve saving things was to make good use of the friends list... Friending people who won't hearth after their 1st res or whatever made a large difference in terms of those learning hc's. You'll still have rocky instance runs but they -will- get smoother as you do them more, both from your own experience and from getting more used to the people on your friends list/guild.
Yes, I use Satrina's Buff Frames (SBF) for that. On the right side of my screen under the mini map, I have two bars with a few buffs each, that I need to track (these are the more permanent buffs like kings, fort, RF, my Seal, my Aura). If both of those bars are not full, then I know something is missing. Only specific buffs go on each bar, so generally I can figure out what is missing instantly.
I do also have an in combat bar that I have filtered to just show certain temporary buffs that are important to me, like my on use trinket buffs, bubble wall, sacred shield, divine plea so I can time things if needed. It generally doesn't get big enough to warrant any type of advanced sorting, I can analyze it pretty quickly.

When the person you are caring for has died, you may feel very shocked, however well you have prepared yourself. Don't feel that you have to do anything. You can just stay with your relative or friend for a while. You may feel confused and bewildered, and have many different emotions.
The death of someone close to you is a very significant event in a person's life. Most cultures and religions have developed rituals or processes to mark this event and to help the people left behind to adjust to the change.
During the first few hours, the loss of your loved one may seem very unreal, and there are some actions which you need to take. However, it's important that you don't feel rushed to 'get on with things'. If you want, you can just spend some quiet time with the person who has died. Many people like to sit and talk or hold hands, and see their loved one at peace, especially if the last few hours or days were a strain.

For those that say to NEVER use compost in containers. Please can you show me a better plant then that?^ |
Interesting....... will this growing medium provide too much nitrogen? It seems you have a lot of green growth, especially that left plant in lower pic. Have you gotten good yield, many peppers besides those cayennes? Daryll |

It's raining here now so I can't count but there are many peppers there that don't show up in the picture probably because they are the same lush green color as the leaves. Jalepenos are not as prolific as cayenne, at least not the ones that I grow. Compost provides a nice slow and steady release of nitrogen. The chemical ferts will give you a quick shot of nitrogen and too much will burn your plant. Hard to over dose organically. This is for master gardner as I have talked to you about it before.-- I forgot to mention one ing. The secret to growing peppers org is in the micorhizae |
- Posted by peppernovice 7 b (My Page) on Sun, Jul 29, 12 at 15:09
A mycorrhiza (Gk. ╬╝Žģ╬║ŽīŽé, myk'┐Įs, "fungus" and Žü╬╣╬Č╬▒, riza, "roots",[1] pl. mycorrhizae or mycorrhizas) is a symbiotic (generally mutualistic, but occasionally weakly pathogenic) association between a fungus and the roots of a vascular plant.[2] In a mycorrhizal association, the fungus colonizes the host plant's roots, either intracellularly as in arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), or extracellularly as in ectomycorrhizal fungi. They are an important component of soil life and soil chemistry. Is that what you were referring to? |
- Posted by greengrass1 (My Page) on Sun, Jul 29, 12 at 16:05
Yes that's the stuff but I use endo not ecto for my peppers and toms. There are those on the net that will argue that myko is found naturally in soils and no need to buy it. Others will argue that myko is of no value. I find in my organic gardening that myko is a tremendous assist especially if growing in containers. |

Shops – Vivier and Bentley Opens Today in Silver Lake!
(When I arrived, Bentley had recently finished painting the "rug" on the floor, inspired by a book of Navajo rugs from the 1970′s)
It's no secret that we've been anticipating this one—the opening of Vivier and Bentley, the boutique/showroom/studio space of très chic, eco-minded handbag designer Clare Vivier and jewelry designer Kathryn Bentley, whose handcrafted, organic pieces are truly one-of-a-kind. I stopped by the Silver Lake shop yesterday afternoon, nestled in at 1404 Micheltorena Street (323-665-2476; Mon-Sat 11am-6pm), and felt that consumer surge come over me—there were so many items in a relatively small (but expansive) retail space (it's about 2/3′s studio and 1/3 retail) that I would've loved to have taken home! Clare Vivier totes and clutches in a rainbow of warm and bright hues, Kathryn Bentley's Dream Collective bead necklaces are candy for the eyes, Beatrice Valenzuela's leather woven sandals, and even decorative items from Heather Levine ceramics and art courtesy of Taylor De Cordoba gallery… (More merch after the jump.)
(Vivier's colorful clutches come in myriad sizes)
(Kathryn Bentley's bead necklaces, rings, and earrings, plus Vivier's red Mini Sac)
(Clockwise from top left: Vivier's white Mini Sac set against Levine's ceramics; art from Taylor de Cordoba; Beatrice Valenzuela's sandals and booties for women and kids)

The Crime, Policing, Security and Justice group at RegNet works on transformations in crime, crime prevention and security policies. We aim to bring about evidence-based reform in the practices of policing and security to enhance Australia's social, economic and cultural wellbeing.
Our work on crime, policing, security and justice is based on our paradigm-changing scholarship in criminology, which includes some of the most cited publications in Australian social science, and in criminology worldwide. We have pioneered a regulatory approach applied to street crimes and policing and opened up new fields like crime in cyberspace, as well as environmental and financial crime, corruption and rule of law in peace building. Those contributions substantially informed the research agenda of the ARC Centre of Excellence in Policing and Security (CEPS) - 2008-2014- in which RegNet was a key research node. Regulatory scholars affiliated with other disciplines, including law, economics, sociology, political science and computer science have made exciting contributions to a distinctive interdisciplinarity in RegNet's work on crime, policing, security and justice.

Don't know where you are, but if your garden is getting this terrific heat, I would suspect sunscald. Give them lots of water to prevent the other leaves from going the same way, |
Thank you. Yes, I'm in northern Virginia. I believe this started prior to the current heat wave. I forget what variety of green beans. I have some beans on the opposite side of my backyard in same conditions that are not affected. |
The outstanding fact about magnesium is that it is a constituent of chlorophyll, and is essential to the formation of this pigment. As a result, when magnesium is deficient, one of the symptoms commonly shown by plants is chlorosis. Magnesium is also regarded as a carrier of phosphorus in the plant, particularly in connection with the formation of seeds of high oil content, which contain the compound lecithin. The element seems to be very mobile within the plant, and when deficient is apparently transferred from older to younger tissues where it can be re-utilized in the growth processes. This agrees with the observation that signs of magnesium deficiency invariably make their appearance first on the oldest leaves and progress systematically from them towards the youngest ones. its doesnt look fungal to me. |
But magnesium is one of the most abundant elements in the soil and does not tend to leach highly. If one is amending occasionally with dolomitic lime as many gardeners do then it is even less likely to be deficient. |
Severe infestation of spider mites. I have the exact same look on my Brugmansia right now, but it's been so hot I've been more afraid to spray than of the mites. At least with Brugs the plant is such a survivor I can defoliate, spray, and they'll bounce back. Beans probably will, too. |
Yes, MITES! No pesticides during the heat. Use harsh water spray early day, directed as well as you can to the backs of the leaves. Repeat several days in a row, then as needed. |
Yup spidermites. They love the bean plants. The beans often seem to be able to outgrow them with little interference, which is the good news. Not so fun to find all over the tomato plants or squash... |
Thanks much for taking the time to jot down your thoughts. I did find some very small webs on a few parts of the plant. Looks like mites I suppose. If they spin some kind of web. Got it... no pesticides in the heat. Why by the way jean001a? Tim |
Why no pesticides during extremely hot weather? Because any time you use many pesticides, you run the risk of causing what is in essence a chemical burn on the plant. Hot weather significantly increases the risk this will happen because the plant is already under a lot of stress. |
On a lighter note... If I can get these to grow, I'll make a mint! Spider mites be damned. Thx again. |
That explains why they used to crop dust at night in Yuma. We used to fly late on night vision and you could see all the crop dusters. I always thought that it kept the pesticide from drying. |
Pt, I vote for mites as well...the webbing would back that up. you can't usually see them, unless the cluster together because they are practically microscopic. If you want to confirm, shake the leaves over some white paper, then smear your finger across the paper, you should see streaks of their squished remains... You may also see the tiny moving dots if you stare at the paper... If those coors take off, be sure to send me some of the harvest... |

It's not often that RCA does something worth talking about these days, but the company has apparently been working on a product dubbed the Internet Music System (model number RCS13101E). This device streams media to the included speakers, or to a TV over HDMI. That's cool, but the important thing is that it's powered by Android with Google apps included. It has just started popping up in Walmart stockrooms, and will presumably be on sale soon.
At the RCA booth today we got a quick glimpseat something they're working on. It's a 42" full HD TV, that runs Android 2.2 at the same time. The OS can be controlled from the TV's remote or with what looked strikingly similar to the Brando Rii Bluetooth keyboard. The UI is a custom media-centric launcher which allows you to view images and videos on the large screen. Around the back we found a USB port which indicates that you should be able to play external media from your own storage devices.
