Hello all,
I was approved for 2.99% interest from the dealership and my local credit union. I have a savings account with my credit union.
1. Is it better to get loan from the credit union or the dealership finance companies?
2. If I choose the credit union for the loan and get into trouble making the payments, will they automatically take payments from the savings account?
Is the dealership offering cash back (rebates) in lieu of the 2.99% rate? If so, it might make more sense to go the CU route and grab the rebates (if any) offered for not using the dealership's financing.
Or, if you are like me, looking for a Hyundai Sonata, the only way to get a rebate is to finance with them (Hyundai Finance; $400.00 for recent graduate). So consider the rebates if there are any and what does it take to qualify for them.
Can't speak as to what the CU would do in you don't make payments, but be careful.. if you feel uneasy about being able to pay the money back you might need to rethink the purchase. Many people on this site are rebuilding from bad luck or poor decisions made, if you can avoid getting into a bad situation, that it would be the best gift you can give yourself!
Normally I would say a CU but Toyota gave DW the same rate and some extras when they found out she was pre-approved by our CU. I would try the CU first and see if you can use that to bargin with the dealer.
IMHO a CU is less forgiving on not making payments.

The Bob Beck Protocol kills or disables microbes (virus, bacteria, and fungus) in the body.
Dr. Robert Beck developed a simple electronic device which has been proven to destroy virtually all known bacteria, viruses and fungi instantly. In 1993 two doctors were granted a U.S. Patent for a device that electrified the blood so that a small electric current could disable viruses from being able to infect cells and multiply, thus rendering them harmless. This includes the AIDS HIV virus. Their discovery was one of the greatest medical discoveries in the history of medicine because virtually all diseases are caused by, or enhanced by, a microbe (virus, bacteria, and fungus). |
The Beck Protocol offers a 4 Step Program:
Step 1 - Blood electrification with microcurrents of electricity.
Step 2 - Magnetic pulsing for lymph and tissue electrification.
Step 3 - Make your own ionic colloidal silver.
Step 4 - Freshly ozonate water to help clear toxins.
Dr. Bob Beck's Suppressed Medical Cure For Cancer, Aids, Diabetes Etc
The U.S. government granted a patent in 1993 for a blood electrification device. You can't get a US patent without proving ALL of the claims made. The key points from the document which you can read in full here are:
".....the present invention has been devised to attenuate any bacteria, virus (including the AIDS HIV virus) parasites and/or fungus contained in blood contributed by a donor to the point that any such contaminant is rendered ineffective for infecting a normally healthy human cell, but does not make the blood biologically unfit for use in humans."
".... with alternating current electric field forces of appropriate electric field strength to attenuate such contaminants to the extent that bacteria, virus, fungus, and/or parasites contained in the blood or other body fluids are rendered ineffective to infect and/or affect normally healthy human cells." United States Patent 5,188,738
What the Bob Beck Protocol does is kill or disable from multiplying, the microbes circulating in your body. When a microbe that is in the bloodstream is killed or disabled, the body will remove it.
The Bob Beck Protocol "supercharges" the immune system.
The Bob Beck Protocol is a set of 4 treatments designed to disable microbes in the body (i.e. stop their ability to reproduce) or kill them.
The Protocol includes applying gentle microcurrents, drinking ionic colloidal silver, using pulsed magnetic fields and drinking ozone water.
Blood Electrification disables microbes as they float through the bloodstream. Once the microbes are disabled, they are harmless and the body will eventually excrete them.
Blood purifying using a pulser is totally non-invasive and safely accomplished in about a month with two hours per day exposures as one goes about his normal activities. It handles pathogens while blood flows normally through the electrified forearm's ulnar branch artery from wrist to elbow.
Without medications, invasive techniques or doctors, most pathogens, viruses, microbes, parasites and fungi just tend to disappear.
Blood Electrification current therapy for cleansing the blood
The purpose of pulsing is to attenuate (i.e. disable from multiplying) microbes which flow through the blood. These microbes die without ever being replaced.
Pulsing creates a small electrical current in the blood which will break off a key enzyme on the surface of all microbes which are traveling through the blood. This prevents the microbes from entering human cells and multiplying therein. The microbes are then safely removed from the body. The electrical current can also outright kill bacteria and other pathogenic invaders
The purpose of this treatment is to dislodge microbes that are not floating around in the bloodstream, but are "hiding" in root canals, the lymph system, the stomach area, etc so that they enter the bloodstream and are deactivated by blood electrification. This is a very important part of the protocol for cancer patients, because to supercharge the immune system all of the microbes outside of the cancer cells need to be attenuated!!
This extremely useful tool neutralizes active, hibernating or incubating pathogens being normally processed in lymph, spleen, liver, skin, kidney, stomach muscles and other tissue.
Colloidal silver is an antimicrobial nutrient and is perfectly safe for humans, pets and plants. Its main purpose is to kill the microbes in the blood and most of those in hiding.
Ozone is well-known for killing microbes. Like the colloidal silver, it is designed to kill the microbes in the blood and those in hiding. The main purpose of the ozonated water is to oxegenate & detoxify the body.
The Advertising Standards Authority don't want us telling you about these products. Here is our response.
Hear about the Protocol from Bob Beck himself. Mindblowing information.
The Handbook has a wealth of information about The Beck Protocol with articles from Bob Beck's "Take Back Your Power" papers with testimonials on the benefits of The Beck Protocol.
Copyright 1998 Robert C. Beck, D.Sc. January 14, 1998,
(The complete process is described here in detail to allow anyone to successfully achieve recoveries and insure that the currently proven methods will never again be "lost" or suppressed.)
1. Apply salt-water moistened electrodes over ulnar and radial arteries on opposite insides of same wrist. A Velcro(R) and elastic strap holds electrodes in place. You must electrify blood for one to two hours every day for three weeks. This should not interfere with other activities. As your blood circulates normally, enough will be flowing along this path in forearm until most blood in your body is eventually treated by the 50 to 100 microampere current flowing internally. About 3 to 5 milliamperes is necessary at the skin to overcome resistive losses through tissue before current reaches blood.
2. Drink 8 to 16 oz. of 3 to 5 ppm self-made Silver Colloid daily. Costing under 1 cent per gallon, colloids are shown to easily control opportunistic infections. This gives you a second intact immune system. Colloids can be generated in the same water while ozonizing.
3. Apply your magnetic pulse generator for about 20 minutes daily by positioning and pulsing coil over lymph nodes and internal organs. Pulse each time it recharges at several second intervals. Pulses of high intensity time-varying magnetic flux generate a measurable back e.m.f. in adjacent tissue thus neutralizing any residual germinating and incubating pathogens. Without this step, sufferers have been known to sometimes reinfect themselves. Conventional permanent magnets positively will not work.
4. Drink as much ozonated water as you can comfortably ingest daily. You must generate fresh ozone yourself each time and drink immediately since ozone has a half-life of only a few minutes. All known pathogens and cancers are anaerobic. Ozone aids their elimination by oxidation and speeds your detoxification and recovery with no discomfort. Consuming ozone water flushes neutralized pathogens, wastes and toxins from your system.
Thirteen years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer and I had a mastectomy on one breast. Eight months ago I knew the cancer was back. Tests confirmed I had 3rd to 4th stage cancer in my bones-skull, one hip, and several ribs. My leg was so bad I had to use a cane and couldn't walk without the aid of a cane. I refused chemotherapy and tamoxifin. Seven months ago, my doctor told me about the Silver Pulser and Magnetic Pulser so I ordered them from SOTA.
I started with only 5 minutes a day with both blood purification and magnetic pulsing. I gradually increased the time until I was able to use them to 2 hours a day. I use a Pulser for 20 minutes a day. I drink one cup of colloidal silver daily, and 1/3 cup of ozonated water daily. After four weeks my sister invited me to go to a polka party with her. She insisted I enter a dance contest with her and we won first prize in the polka competition! I am 66 years old and today I often go for walks-up to 40 minutes-or I at least walk on my treadmill for 25 minutes. I am also taking vitamin and mineral supplements and flax oil daily.
When the nurse at my doctor's office checked my blood using a Darkfield Microscope, she was so amazed at the improvement in my blood she interrupted the doctor while he was with another patient to tell him. A recent bone scan shows the cancer is still present. I'm optimistic as my doctor suggests the bones will be the last stage to clear. I'll keep in touch to let you know my progress.

I have been using the blood electrifier for about a year and a half in its capacity as a "theoretical" blood purifier and its ability to make colloidal silver water. Using the blood electrifier and taking colloidal silver water has had the most positive effect on my health of any alternative therapy I have ever tried.
In my early childhood I had contracted double pneumonia and other childhood diseases that put me in the hospital seven times by the time I was two years of age. As a result of this I had weakened respiratory and immune system that allowed constant colds, sore throats, chest ailments and allergies to develop. This continued right up to my adult years. Prescribed medicines didn't seem to work, nor did diet modifications, and herbals and vitamins had marginal positive effects. Some homeopathic formulations were effective in reducing the frequency of my colds but not the severity.
Since using the blood electrifier and taking silver water daily, I have been free of colds and associated respiratory complications for a year and a half. There have been occasions when I feel the early symptoms of something trying to develop but nothing does. I use the blood electrifier two hours daily for one month periods and then one month off. I take silver water twice daily, 1 oz. morning and evening.
I have recently purchased the magnetic pulser to use with the blood electrifier for deeper lymph cleaning. I had a blood analysis done about a year ago using the dark field microscopy method and it showed my blood to be quite clean and free from active virus and fungi, which I attribute to using the blood electrifier. I can only conclude that these theoretical health treatments for blood and lymph cleaning had been responsible for restoring my immune system so that it can properly function. I will continue to take vitamin and mineral supplements since many of the soils that our food is grown on is devoid of the necessary minerals we need for optimum health. A recent hair analysis showed that I was deficient in four minerals necessary for proper health and metabolic function.

"I don't remember when I started using colloidal silver but probably over a year ago. I had MRSA. My doctor wanted me to get on antibiotics and I refused because they take a toll on my health. I bought the Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator and started taking 2 oz. of the colloidal silver 4 times a day for quite a long time.
I discovered I wasn't using it correctly. I was drinking it. I learned I had to keep it in my mouth and swish it around for a while first, before swallowing it. It started working then.
I am now at the end of MRSA. It didn't show up in my blood the last time I had blood work, and one of those visual blood pictures.
I still take the silver only now am taking 2 oz. morning and 2 oz at night before bed. I've also used it topically on my breakouts to help them heal faster.
I think I got the MRSA from my daughter who had a sore on her back for over 2 years. And her daughter got it too, so I am giving silver to them to drink also.
Rose is no longer having break outs. She is my granddaughter. My daughter still has a few breakouts, but not many now. They are on the way to being free of it also.
I also use the silver in my laundry for all of our clothes and towels. And also for disinfecting counter tops. I love how it works.
I give you permission to use this in your book if you like. I do hope it will help others. Just be sure to keep it in your mouth and swish it around.
Another benefit it has done for me is my teeth used to bleed when I brushed but no longer and they seem to be stronger now. Thank you for all you do." – Paula D., Kissimmee, FL
I began the Beck protocol seeking relief from chronic fatigue brought on by mercury and other metal poisoning and a lifetime of serious allergies. I took a series of chelation treatments to rid myself of the metal poisoning but two years later I still had a major problem with infections and a stubborn case of herpes zoster (shingles). After an initial 22 days using the blood electrifier and Magnetic Pulsing, I felt better than I had in years. Two weeks later, however, my energy level took a dive. I had to take a break from treatments so that I could adjust the dosage of my allergy treatments in order to use both devices. That problem solved, I resumed use of the blood electrifier and Magnetic Pulsing for another month but still had symptoms of the shingles I'd been carrying, I think, since my teens.
Then I decided to use the blood electrifier for longer sessions - from 6 to 14 hours a day, five days a week. I continued this routine for about 3 months and noticed positive changes in my symptoms. I took a break again, but in four weeks I felt tired and symptoms worsened a bit. That was December, and I treated myself with both devices two or three days a week to keep my energy level up for the Holidays. In January and February I resumed 5 day a week treatments and felt better than ever, but my immune system still wasn't ready to fly on its own. At that point, I tried a program known as Neuro Link 2000, an interesting mix of neurolinguistic programming and applied kinesiology. My allergies are now gone, my other symptoms are much improved and my energy level has stabalized. I am very grateful to Dr. Beck for developing the blood electrifier and magnetic pulser because they helped me a great deal and I have recommended their use to others.

"I cure mine breast cancer in 3 weeks with only Bob Beck protocol and ate only organic living foods. No meat or no dairy, avoid fat accept Fax seed oil.
I stop taking all vit and herbs. I only did Bob Beck and eat only healthy organic living food. I wanted to see if only Bob Beck would cure it in 3 weeks and it did just like they said it would.
Surgery is not needed. My hard lump went back to 100% normal health tissue with only Bob Beck protocol in 3 to 6 months but i only did the protocol for 5 weeks.
Check her urine, is it cloudy? 21 day only on the Bob Beck silver pulsar and colliod silver the pain stopped at 21 days and my urine was all cleared up on the 21 day. the lump when back to soft tissue in 3 to 6 months. No surgery and no chemo, no radiation.
I wore the silver pulsar for 4 hours a day and only ate healthy living organic food. Gerson programs work very good. She tells you what foods to eat and what food not to eat."
From a user on the Bob Beck Forum - http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1734069
The most reasonable theory of why electrification is so surprisingly effective for so many conditions lies in the now-proven fact that when correctly applied directly into blood the process neutralizes all microbes, pathogens, fungi, parasites, viruses, bacteria, mycotoxins and coexisting foreign lifeforms and alien invaders and their byproducts.
Distilled Water is the purist form of water that you can buy because it is produced by evaporating water and using the distillates. Clear and colourless, free from visible impurities and with a neutral pH.
Distilled Water presents no acidity or alkalinity and will have a low conductivity, perfect when only the purist form of water is required. Almost all of the impurities are removed in the distillation process, whereby the water is boiled, condensed into steam, and the steam collected in a clean container leaving almost all trace elements behind. Deionized water may still contain some impurities but Distilled Water is extremely pure because almost all impurities are removed during the distillation process, leaving you with virtually pure water. Distillation can be quite a slow process and a still is needed for production to take place.
In 1990, two doctors discovered how to kill all viruses, bacteria and fungus in our blood.
Their discovery was one of the greatest medical discoveries in the history of medicine because virtually all diseases are caused by, or enhanced by, a microbe (virus, bacteria, and fungus).
They were granted a U.S Patent proving it, including by the way the end of HIV virus.
For 20 years this information has constantly been suppressed. Within 24 hours of us posting the information online a government agency tried to remove our right to free speech. Why?
One of the greatest inventions in modern medicine is not an exaggeration. Why don't you know about it? Why doesn't your doctor tell you about it?
As this technology eliminates the need for most prescription drugs, and a life free of disease, we urge you to investigate.
Colloidal Silver is the most powerful natural antibiotic known to man, estimated to kill over 650 different disease-causing pathogens (bacteria, viruses, fungus and yeast).
Colloidal silver is the result of an electromagnetic process that pulls microscopic particles from a larger piece of silver into a liquid, such as water. As tiny particles, the silver can more easily penetrate and travel throughout the body. Colloidal silver works as a catalyst, disabling the enzyme that all one-celled bacteria, fungi and viruses use for their oxygen metabolism. In short, it suffocates the bad guys. Faced with colloidal silver instead of antibiotics, these disease causing pathogens don't have the capacity to develop resistant strains.* Besides, antibiotics are effective against only about a dozen forms of bacteria and fungi, but never viruses. Because no known disease-causing organism can live in the presence of even minute traces of the chemical element of metallic silver, colloidal silver may be effective in killing more than 650 different disease-causing pathogens.* To top it off, colloidal silver is virtually nontoxic, making it safe for both children and adults, as well as pets. In short, anything bigger than a one-celled organism seems to like it.
Since there is not enough room to list all the diseases against which colloidal silver has traditionally been used, here is a tiny sample; acne; allergies; appendicitis; arthritis; blood parasites; bubonic plague; burns (it is one of the few treatments that can keep severe burn patients alive); cholera; cold sores; colitis; cystitis; conjunctivitis; atopic dermatitis (a/k/a cradle cap); diabetes; dysentery; ear "affections"; eczema; gastritis; gonorrhea; impetigo; influenza; hay fever; herpes; leprosy; leukemia; lupus; lymphangitis; Lyme disease; malaria;' meningitis; parasitic infections. both viral and fungal; pneumonia; pneumococci; psoriasis; prostatitis; rheumatism; rhinitis; ringworm; scarlet fever; septic conditions of the eyes, ears, mouth and throat; salmonella; septicemia; shingles; staph infections; strep infections; syphilis; tonsillitis; toxemia; trench foot; all forms of viruses; warts and stomach ulcers; yeast infections.* In addition, it has veterinary uses, such as for canine parvo virus.* You'll also find colloidal silver very handy in the garden since it can be used against bacterial, fungal and viral attacks on plants. Simply spray diluted colloidal silver on the leaves and add to soil water.
Most of these products have a gagging orders imposed on them by governments at the behest of the pharmaceutical industry who don't want you to know how they can help you. They achieve this by banning free speech and threatening us. Currently your health is in the hands of government who steal from us in taxes and give us the NHS as a consequence, or the financial rapists in the form of health insurance. |

Will i need tie downs for my marquee- All erections are different it all depends on the situation where you are placing your marquee, is it an open area that is not well shielded by trees and buildings, is your structure going to be left up for more than 24 hrs? In short we would recommend that all marquees are anchored with tie down kits unless sited in the most calm of conditions and only going to be up over night.
Do i need a fire certificate - When hosting an event in which you will be inviting people to attend you must make sure that you have taken the appropriate safety measures to ensure that if there is a problem you are prepared - you must consult your local fire department who will send an officer around to inspect your event structure and facilities, the officer will then tell you how many fire extinguishers you require, whether there are sufficient fire exits and weather exits are properly lighted and freely accessible amongst other things.
Once satisfied the officer will then provide you with the appropriate certificate, this process has to be performed for each event you have, not just one certificate provided for your marquee at the time of purchase.
Will i be able to erect the marquee myself? - All of the marquees we supply come with DIY erection instructions, these marquees are simple to put up and will take 1-4 people approx 4 hrs to put up a 12m x 6m on a first attempt, once you are used to putting one up this time can be halved.
There is a video situated here to aid with the erection of our marquees.

Planning a wedding can be a difficult task. Finding a venue, catering, DJ, photographer, cake etc. This is why many venues offer package pricing. They bundle all the vendors and extras up and give you a per head price. While this may seem to be an easy option, relieving much of the planning hassle, it might also be the most expensive option. Many of the venues will shop the vendors and work out a deal where they use a "cost plus" method to include them in their package.

I have similar looking blackberry to this poster here.
http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/load/fruit/msg060502324652.html I have a thornless plant in the ground that produces a lot of berries (probalby around 300-400). A lot of the fruit are large and when fully ripe, they are delicious. About 50% of the crop is red and black like the pics. How do i know if it's UV sun damage or red berry mite? The red parts are VERY hard. The same thing happened last year with about 50% of the crop not fully ripening and the red parts extremely hard. I'm thinking it might be red berry mite, because some of the fruit on the same bunch ripens fully and some don't (i gather they would have the same sun exposure). Any thoughts? If it's redberry mite, what's worked for you guys? I read that some horticultural oils are the best defense for them... Thanks |

Horticultural Oils Horticultural oils, such as Golden Pest Spray Oil, when used at the rate of 1.2 to 2% volume to volume, applied after green fruit or first pink fruit stage in four consecutive applications spaced 2 or 3 weeks apart give significant control of redberry mite, while causing less harm to fruit yield than sulfur sprays. I start now with Golden Pest Spray Oil. Forget about UV damage on blackberries its meth are BS sun only damage druplet by skin braking and drying to Brown drulet bust by over compaction from other druplets and turn Brown. |

If you mean 50% of each affected berry is black and red, and the red part remains very hard, that is the classical symptom of the red berry mite damage. Those mites are tiny but can be seen scurrying around if you get your eye about 3" from the plant. For UV damage, the berries will start to have bleeding, white or pale drupelets in the red phase. During the black phase, the pale drupelets become most obvious. Eventually they do dry out, becoming crunchy and brown, as gator mentioned above. The image you linked to, from the gardener in Greece, did have UV damage; the whole berry was soft. |

I had about 40 to 50% good fruit (all black), and the remaining 50% are bad, either all red and very hard, or 50% of the berry is black and 50% of it is red and hard. As I mentioned, I had the same thing last year on this thornless blackberry bush. I cut all those canes away and threw them out. Did the mites hang around since 8 months ago & hide on the primocanes of the new growth and then wait for the berries to start growing and infect them? I have a thorn black berry bush against the wall in a different part of my yard and none of those fruit were affected. I noticed Golden Pest Spray oil's active ingredient is 98% soybean oil. I was at a nursery today and they suggested http://www.arbico-organics.com/fullsize/1172/23 which active ingredient was 98% mineral oil. Is there a difference, or is Golden Pest Spray superior? Thanks |

Thanks for clarifying the affected berries. Some berries can remain all red where mites have damaged all the drupelets. Thorny versus thornless has nothing to do with it. Yes, mites hang out in tight places in new growth and overwinter. They emerge during "bud break" and oil is recommended when new growth is an inch or two long with tiny leaves. Then perhaps a second application some weeks later. I don't know about the two oils mentioned above. |

Larry_Gene, major growth has already occurred on the Primocanes that will have fruit next year. i have 4 of them that are at least 7 feet long. There's still 5 old canes right now with some good fruit and the majority of redmite infected fruit which I'll be cutting away in the next week. So if these mites are hiding in the new canes already, I have to spray all these canes with oil to kill them off? I was reading some of the active ingredients in these horticultural oils and one said 98% soybean oil and a different one had 98% canola oil. Dumb question, but can you just use 100% canola oil that you use for cooking, or what's the difference? Anyway, is it too late to attack the problem, i don't want the same thing happening again next year :( |
- Posted by larry_gene USDA8b-OregonPDX (My Page) on Sat, Jul 14, 12 at 4:02
Your primocanes are leafed out, and perhaps in California hold their leaves all winter, but the fruiting spurs for next year have not emerged. So late next winter or early spring, when the new growth restarts, oil then. You could try applying some oil when you have rescued all of this year's fruit and cut out the fruiting canes, and then again next year. I don't know the comparative effectiveness of horticultural oil versus cooking oil. |
- Posted by gator_rider2 z8 Ga. (My Page) on Sat, Jul 14, 12 at 7:39
but can you just use 100% canola oil that you use for cooking, or what's the difference? Here the differences. Essentially all commercially available horticultural oils (e.g., SunsprayR, ScalecideR, VolckR) are refined petroleum products also known as mineral oils. Impurities in the oil that are associated with plant injury, such as aromatic compounds and compounds containing sulfur, nitrogen or oxygen, are removed. Filtration, distillation and dewaxing complete the production of the finished base oil. Final formulations of horticultural oils are normally combined with an emulsifying agent that allows the oil to mix with water. This mixture usually is used at about a 2 percent dilution. Vegetable oils also can be used as insecticides, although the type of oil can greatly affect its activity. Cottonseed oil is generally considered the most insecticidal of the vegetable oils. Soybean oil, the most commonly available vegetable oil used in cooking, has often provided fair to good control of some insects and mites. You mix 1.5 to 2% oil with water your cooking oil may not mix with water. |

I have a clematis in a 10" pot that's about 6 months old. The clematis has been a very slow grower.
In order to take the plant indoors due to impending hurricane, I need to cut it back, which I realize might not be the best timing, but I have no choice. So....does it matter if I cut it back at the highest point I can (and then cut it back down more in the Spring), or should I just cut it back low now? Thanks! |

I know this is coming too late for hurricane protection but there is no issue with cutting back your clematis now (or last week :-)). If you brought it in for protection, I'd be inclined to keep it in, providing "in" means a non-heated or very cool area. You do not want to encourage the plant out of dormancy which excessive heat may do but you also do not want the soil in the container to freeze solid. Storing somewhere that remains around 35-40F is just about ideal. |
- Posted by yippee1999 6/7 NYC (My Page) on Sun, Nov 4, 12 at 17:52
Tx gardengal. I thought clematis was ok in a pot in zone 6, no? I planned to keep it outside all winter...I don't have any other option, besides keeping it inside my apartment. I don't have hot steam heat or anything but still....obviously my apartment will be anywhere from 60-70 degrees inside during the winter... |
- Posted by gardengal48 PNW zone 8 (My Page) on Thu, Nov 8, 12 at 15:27
Sorry for delay again but don't have access to computer on a daily basis :-) No doubt the topgrowth of the vine would be fine in zone 6.....it is just the root system I'd be concerned about. Roots are much more vulnerable to cold damage. If the plant is in the ground, it is not really an issue as the surrounding soil mass is adequate insulation. But the roots in a container don't have that benefit. And sometimes (maybe often), the roots actually come into contact with the container wall and almost direct exposure to cold air temperatures. You could keep the pot outdoors but you will need to provide some additional protection. If you can slip the clematis container inside a larger container and then stuff the open space with crumpled newspaper or what have you, that should help. Or wrap with bubble wrap. If the temps look like they will drop into the low 20's (really anything below 25F) for any length of time, you may want to bring the container indoors. Just get it back out as soon as possible. |

text: Pregnancy > Nutrition & Exercise Holiday Eating for Moms-to-Be Eat healthy this holiday season without missing out on all the action. The holidays are upon us, and you know what that means: casseroles, roasts, fudge, and tables full of pies. Every year, you've promised yourself to take it easy on the calories, but now that there's a baby on the way, you actually have to get serious about this "healthy eating" thing. So what's a girl to do when the holiday buffet rolls out? Here are a few tips .Ask before you eatMake sure you know what your grub is made of. "Even if you're at a restaurant, don't be shy," says Nicole Meadow, MPN, RD, and our resident expert. "It is your right to ask a question about how something on the menu is prepared or what's in it." According to Meadow, you want to steer clear of items containing any raw ingredients, soft, unpasteurized cheeses, and cold deli meat, which can be breeding grounds for listeria. Another surprising no-no: raw sprouts. (They're known to carry E. coli.)Go naturalTo boost the chances of a healthy pregnancy, Meadow suggests eating foods that are not processed and staying away from those with high fructose corn syrup. "Getting back to a natural diet is essential," she says. Does this mean you have to pass on all the good stuff? No way. Just be aware and practice moderation.Be skeptical of secondsYour fetus is more susceptible to bacteria than you are, so it's best to fill your dish at the beginning of a party (that is, before the food has been out in the open for two hours or more). If you get a hankering for seconds, reach for safe items like veggies, fruits, and breads.Don't arrive hungryIf you're attending an event where lots of food will be served, don't starve yourself beforehand to "make room." That will only result in scarfing down more than necessary after that first run to the buffet. (And remember, eating for two does not mean eating double—you only need about 300 extra calories per day when pregnant.) So, before you head out, grab a handful of almonds or whip up a quick banana smoothie.Plan aheadSpend a lot of time on the road during the holidays? Save yourself from drive-thru meals and gas station snacks by packing a cooler of fruit, healthy (or at least healthy-ish) munchies, and sandwiches for the ride. And if you aren't so motivated? Look for healthier menu choices, like the Ultimate Chicken Grill Sandwich at Wendy's (320 calories, 7 grams of fat), or a "Fresco" Style Ranchero Chicken Soft Taco at Taco Bell (170 calories, 4 grams of fat).Map your plateKeep those gravy cravings under wraps by reserving portions of your plate for specific food groups. Meadow recommends saving half of your plate for fruits and veggies, and keeping portion sizes small when scooping up fatty and carb-loaded items. Try this plan for your plate: ½ fruits and veggies, ¼ carbs, and ¼ meats or other protein.Don't deprive yourselfThe dessert spread is beckoning. Should you lock yourself in your car until it's over? Nah—relax and grab a (small) dish. It's important not to go overboard with junk when you're growing another human inside you, but denying yourself the joy of Aunt Ida's fudge isn't necessary.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Penelope!
Facts about Penelope
- Breed: Collie/Husky Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn - With White
- Age: Young
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Female
Penelope's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Penelope is a sweet Collie/Husky mix who is looking for a home where she can be loved the rest of her life! She is a very sweet, happy and playful young girl! She would do best in a family that will play with her and have plenty of room to run! She does great with other dogs, regardless of their size. Could you be the home that Penelope is dreaming of? She is all packed up and ready to go! Her adoption fee is $250.
Other Pets at Saving Grace Animal Rescue of Maryland
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Penelope, a Baltimore Collie/Husky dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Collie/Husky for sale in Baltimore, or seeking a Collie/Husky dog from a breeder in Baltimore.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Baltimore already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Baltimore breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Collie/Husky breeders who help with Collie/Husky rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Baltimore paves the way for another one to be saved.

Hi, I am in zone 10b (35-40F) and recently became the owner of an ~8 foot avocado tree that is in need of some serious love. I doubt it's seen any fertilizer or appropriate watering for about a year and unfortunately I do not know it's history. Attached is an image of it. Can anyone elaborate if this is worth keeping alive in an attempt to bear fruit? I purchased some avocado citrus fertilizer and used the recommended amount, as well as watering it every other day or so for a month or so now. It gets full sunlight, at least 8+hrs a day. If I continue caring for it, will I see fruit with the upcoming season, or maybe it's time to make space for something else? Thanks in advance. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Don't know if it will bear next year. But the tree looks very good for it's history. If you like avocado then that's about as good as you can hope for. Might as well stick with it. |

I am new with avocados. I have had mine for about 8 months. It was about 3 feet high when I got it, now it about 6 high and growing like crazy. Some tips that I have learned along the way. Water. They don't like wet feet, trust me I almost killed mine. Depending on the soil you have, mine is heavy clay. It retains water too long, so I water it once a week with a soak hose in the middle of the summer. Now in the winter, I havent watered it since Thanksgiving and its still pushing new leaves. It rained last week and the soil is still moist. Fertilizer. I use it every 3 months. I use the same one you mentioned. Citrus & Avocado mix. Soil. When I planted in the ground, It was bald and limp. The air would bend it side to side. I placed a metal rod next to it and tight it. I dug a hole twice the size of the pot both wide and deep. I filled it with compost (homemade), composted cow manure, gypsum (they love it, I used 80 lbs of it),play sand, miracle grow garden soil (very little) and native soil. All mixed in to the hole. After about a month, I saw new growth coming out of it and it hasn't stopped. Sun. They love the sunlight. Mine is placed with no shade. Some of the leaves will get sunburn but its normal. Some people recommend adding water with white non latex paint and spraying the leaves and trunk. I was thinking of doing so, but I didn't and mine is doing pretty good with out it. Last. They like to be felt alone. This is the advice the person who sold it to me told me. Let it be, don't worry about it. Once established, they are very low maintenance. Don't rake up the leaves let them compost in the ground, they drop alot of leaves but if new ones are coming there's nothing to worry about it. This is why your tree has made it thru the "without love" period. I hope you found this helpful with your tree. PS. the pic was back in June. It had gotten bigger since then. |

This time of year I pretty much neglect my avocado and other fruit trees. I wouldn't water it this time of year. Unless the soil completely drys out. Avocados can easily develop root rot in cold wet soil. I would water it about once a week when the weather warms up or when the top few inches of soil dry out. Fertilize it in the spring, with a citrus fertilizer, when new growth starts to flush. Fertilize one or two more times in the summer with each new flush of growth. Then stop in the fall. I would also mulch with wood chips, or something similar, in a three foot diameter around the tree, keeping the mulch a few inches away from the trunk. It will naturally break down and feed the tree while keeping the roots moist and cool in the summer. This is my 8ft Hass that started out as a 3ft tree with no branching from home depot about 1.5 years ago. I am pretty new to growing avocado trees. I am just trying to pass along what has worked for me. |

Get the grass 4 feet away from the tree. heavy mulch with wood chips. Paint that exposed bark white. 10b will be challenging depending upon conditions where you reside. May need cross pollinator for fruiting. May need to provide western shade in summer. |

Every time I go back, I want the Wonders of Life to be open again!!!
I so miss Horizons :no:
i too miss that attraction... it epitomized the classic Epcot...
It was exactly what Walt wanted EPCOT to be.
Uncle Walt still wanted it to be a living city... he wanted people to live there...
check this out...
In Walt Disney's words: "EPCOT... will take its cue from the new ideas and new technologies that are now emerging from the creative centers of American industry. It will be a community of tomorrow that will never be completed, but will always be introducing and testing and demonstrating new materials and systems. And EPCOT will always be a showcase to the world for the ingenuity and imagination of American free enterprise."
Walt Disney's original vision of EPCOT was for a model community, home to twenty thousand residents, which would be a test bed for city planning and organization. The community was to have been built in the shape of a circle, with businesses and commercial areas at its center, community buildings and schools and recreational complexes around it, and residential neighborhoods along the perimeter. Transportation would have been provided by monorails and PeopleMovers (like the one in the Magic Kingdom's Tomorrowland). courtesy of wdwmagic
If Walt was still alive today, do you think that this would've actually happened?
probably not like this... i think he had great vision... but this might have been more than he could have accomplished even for a guy like Walt Disney... it would have taken many years to complete it the way he wanted it... i do think Epcot would have been very different... i think it would have been much closer to the original Walt vision than what we see today... but i think even Walt might have had to change his image slightly...
All of these are tragic but what I miss the most is the first living seas. I enjoyed riding the hydrolators to sea base alfa. The trip on the claim mobles was very neat. Sea Base Alfa divided into sections that dealt with sea research. The last time I went it was just a big fish tank. What a differance.
I picked the loss of Dreamfinder, although that might imply that the current version is the worst refurb/change to the attraction. This one is wonderful compared to the second one. The second one was just awful. It was an abomination. Just amazing that somebody got the approval to put that **** out there for guests to see. It's almost like it was intended to upset people.
Enchanted Tiki Room Under New Management. I get why it's supposed to be funny, but I just felt it just came off more as disrespectful of the "old management". Probably sounded like a great idea at the time, but the execution was terrible. Not only that but the moment it debuted it was dated due to it's use of 80's songs, which is bad for a show whose theme is about getting an update.
I do also miss Timekeeper. I thought this is one of the few Eisner era shows that actually captured Walt Disney's modernist spirit. That the attraction was replaced by something not even close to the old vision of Tomorrowland (there's an oxymoron of a phrase) is a shame.
Also miss Cranium Command, though the Wonders of Life show building was painfully dated in appearance. It would have been great if they just refurbished the pavilion's interior so they could then keep the show open.
I never experienced Horizons and World of Motion, but I would have loved to see those.
Bring back the Animators - such a great way to see the art of Disney.
I miss Wonders of Life as a whole, and really enjoyed The Timekeeper. Rather than get too much further into specifics, I am generally disappointed in how they have handled both Future World and Tomorrowland. It seems like either they do not care about the theme/mission/purpose of these areas, or they just cannot figure out how to maintain the continuity. Those have always been my favorite sections and the generic approach WDI takes to them annoys the **** out of me.

Monday, September 4, 2006 - Page updated at 12:00 AM Nation Digest KKK members rally at Gettysburg siteAbout 30 Ku Klux Klan members proclaimed hatred for blacks, Jews, gays and Latinos as they stood behind barricades at the Civil War battlefield where Abraham Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address. Gordon Young of the World Knights of the Ku Klux Klan also called Saturday for the United States to pull its troops out of Iraq and use them to patrol the Mexican border to stop illegal immigration. The World Knights obtained a permit in July for the two-hour demonstration. The National Park Service granted it under the group's First Amendment rights to free speech. Several groups counter demonstrated. Park Service spokeswoman Katy Lawhon said there were no major incidents; one man was cited for entering a restricted area. Confederate re-enactors from Virginia protested the Klan's adoption of the Confederate battle flag as an emblem and its claim to be a continuance of the Confederate cause. "These guys don't stand for anything I stand for," said Tim McCown of Jefferson, Md. "And it's time we disengage our flag from what they stand for." Cassadaga, N.Y.
Trooper shot in fugitive hunt dies One of two troopers ambushed while searching for an escaped convict died Sunday of his injuries, and state police vowed to capture the man they think killed him. Joseph Longobardo was shot in the leg Thursday night while staking out the property of a former girlfriend of Ralph "Bucky" Phillips. He died at a Buffalo hospital, State Police Superintendent Wayne Bennett said. His death came in the midst of one of the largest manhunts in New York history. Phillips has been on the run for five months. "You can run, but you can't hide. Sooner or later, I don't care how good you are, we will find you," Bennett said.
Report: Health chief will resign post Medicare and Medicaid chief Mark McClellan intends to resign, and an announcement could come as early as Tuesday, The Dallas Morning News reported Sunday. McClellan, a physician and economist, was one of President Bush's economic advisers and served as the Food and Drug Administration commissioner before he was appointed in 2004 to administer the government's health programs for the elderly and impoverished. McClellan spokesman Jeff Nelligan and White House spokesman David Almacy said Sunday they could not confirm the report. Duluth, Minn.Jet passengers wait nearly 10 hours A Northwest Airlines flight to London made an emergency landing after smoke was reported in the cabin, and passengers waited aboard for nearly 10 hours before the trip was canceled early Sunday. Flight 44 from Minneapolis landed without incident just before 9:50 p.m. Saturday at Duluth International Airport, as airport firetrucks stood by. Passengers remained aboard until about 7:30 a.m. Sunday. No injuries were reported among the 255 passengers and 10 crew members. Northwest's manager in Duluth, Doug Wood, said it appears the smoke was electrical in nature. Mechanics fixed the problem, but because the flight crew was running out of its allowed time, the flight was canceled. The passengers were returned to Minneapolis and put up in hotels. Cape Canaveral, Fla.
Countdown begins on Atlantis launch The countdown clock Sunday began ticking toward a Wednesday launch of the space shuttle after a week of weather delays kept Atlantis grounded. The launch time was set for 9:29 a.m. PDT Wednesday. If the shuttle does not lift off then, NASA has launch opportunities on the following two days.

Tomatoes? There's a cherry variety called Tumbling Tom which I've grown before in hanging baskets. You can get yellow as well as red
Thanks Daffy. I'll have a look for those and give forcing another try next year. My kids - now fully grown - recall how I gave them a stick of rhubarb and an egg cup full of sugar. They still love it
Thanks Obelixx. I bought it full of buds which are flowering now, but didn't realise it would flower again in summer. Will look forward to that!
Just a note to say thanks to those who suggested I prune my Hazel instead of taking it out. I pruned it back by about a third, taking out the lower limbs, and a couple others to open it up. It's doing well and has open ground underneath where I've underplanted it. I've also put in a Clematis I bought at the Harrogate Flower Show - Clematis koreana Broughton Bride - so that it will twine through the branches. Very pleased with the result, so once again, me, Hazel and the Long-tailed Tits say thanks
All plum trees take some time to fruit - can be up to 10 yrs. I planted a Damson 5 yrs ago. This is the first year I've had lots of blossom. I'm living in hope, but not holding my breath
I love gages too!
Oooh just watching The A-Z of plants and Rhubarb is on!
I love Rhubarb! but I'm not a fan of forced Rhubarb. I've grown it a couple of years and found it pretty tasteless, Couldn't even say it was sweet. I much prefer the sourness of naturally grown sticks.
The variety is Timperely Early which is supposed to be good for forcing. Can anyone recommend a different variety?
Unfortunately councils these days - and other organisations - don't generally employ gardeners to do these jobs so they are rarely done with care and attention to what's there. It's why we finish up with cubed hedges rather than pruned ones.
Definetely get rid of the brambles before you think about planting anything. When you're buying tools - e.g. spade (you'll definetely need one), go for quality over price, it will pay off in the long run.
Apart from clearing and sorting out the junk - Bob Flowerdew would probably find a use for most of it I'd personally sit back and watch the garden through the seasons for a year. The brambles and the junk clearing will probably take up that time anyway. Look for aspect (N S E W - facing), soil type (acid, alkaline, sandy, clay) - look at local gardens to help you with this, what grows in theirs. This will help you think and plan what you want (and can) grow.
Just watching the BBC news and the potential of gardening becoming part of the National Curriculum. The Prime Minister's comment in a speech a couple of years ago, which equated gardening skills with litter collection seems to have galvanised the RHS and schools to hit back.
It's a no-brainer for me, and I'm sure most people on this forum, to know that gardening provides the basic essentials for the majority of sciences. My own interest in gardening, which started mumbly mumbly years ago, sparked my interest and resulted in a degree in Environmental Earth Sciences.
I'm still a strong advocate of litter collection though. Litter ruins the look of a garden
Forgot to mention that if they don't flower at all they could need splitting. If they become congested it will impede the flowering

David call these executives hypocrites. He recommends pr practitioners and marketers who are faced with these executives, who demand them to prove social media ROI, to point out the hypocrisy by asking them to show you the ROI of their Blackberry's.
He says that "modern higher education systems are increasingly driven by numbers – management information, liquidity ratios, key performance indicators, workload models, student (and staff) satisfaction scores, research assessment grades, citation indices, media league tables … Everything, it seems, can be reduced to a number. But can it – or should it?
Let me continue with metaphors and refer to Benzion (Benny) Landa, the founder of Indigo – one of the first digital offset printing presses, who once said: "Everything that can be digital, will be".
I would like to argue that "everything that can be measured, will be". Even the use of social media. And the use of Blackberry.
Or as Douglas W Hubbard, author of the book "How to measure anything" says:
"Anything can be measured. If a thing can be observed in any way at all, it lends itself to some type of measurement method. No matter how "fuzzy" the measurement is, it's still a measurement if it tells you more than you knew before. And those very things most likely to be seen as immeasurable are, virtually always, solved by relatively simple measurement methods."
I wouldn't say that executives, who demand you marketers to prove social media ROI, are hypocrites. I think pr practitioners and marketers 1) should strive to measure everything they can measure, but handle the result of the measurement with a grain of salt, and 2) to some extent continue to engage with people even if they can't measure the result of their activities.
So take the opportunity and dig into hundreds of posts and tools to learn how to measure instead of ignore the value of it, for an example: "How to really measure the ROI of social media", "How to: Measure the ROI of a Content Marketing Strategy"
BTW – When FST (Financial Service Technology Magazine) gathered three industry experts (Adnon Dow, Motorola, Alain DeSouza, Resaerch In Motion (RIM) and Alan Giles, Sony Ericsson) to discuss the growing trend of enterprise mobility communications and the challenges it brings, Alain DeSouza said:
"The BlackBerry solution provides users with a host of tools to help them work and communicate more effectively, including email, phone, internet, organiser and business critical applications. The benefits and ROI of BlackBerry smartphones have been illustrated by research from Ipsos Reid that shows that BlackBerry smartphone users can save up to 60 minutes a day, by increasing efficiency."

There are a fair few Titanfall Xbox One guides on the internet now, but how many were written with the aid of the game's creators? If you're having trouble with the new shooter, check out our round-up of Titanfall tips and tactics, which features insights from Respawn designers Fairfax McCandlish and Justin Hendry.
Those who'd rather hear about a different kind of high score should make a beeline for our Titanfall Xbox One review. If you want to prioritise unlocks, read our Titanfall easy XP guide.
1. Don't let the AI throw you
"When you come round a corner and open up on whoever's on the other side, you might not know whether it's a human or AI until after you've fired, because you don't want to give the other guy a chance," says McCandlish. It may be worth keeping those bullets in check if you're trying to infiltrate an enemy-controlled hardpoint - unsuppressed weapons fire appears on the mini-map, giving away your location. On the other hand, the more Grunts and Spectres you kill, the shorter the wait for a Titan. Weigh your options carefully.
If you're intent on shooting up the AI, equip a Minion Detector as a Pilot Kit to flag up all Grunts and Spectres on the radar. Consider equipping a cloaking device, too - it probably won't thwart a Pilot who's watching out for you, but it's extremely effective against both AI infantry and Auto-Titans.
2. Don't fear the clock
If you snuff it on the verge of Titanfall, don't quit in disgust. "The timer does not reset when you die, and if you die when the time has elapsed then you can just choose to spawn as a Titan," points out McCandlish. Dying may even be to your advantage, as you'll be able to call down your Titan away from the fight. Summoning a Titan ahead of everybody else isn't an infallible victory tactic, either - early bird Titans may fall victim to Pilot wolfpacks, either dying or taking so much battle damage that they're unable to fend off Titans that arrive later.
3. Don't attack a Titan head-on...
...Unless you're also driving a Titan. Fairly straightforward, right? "As the Titan, if you line up a rocket volley on a Pilot, well, that guy will be blown to smithereens," says McCandlish. Pilots may find it advisable to move above the Titan's eyeline and prepare an escape plan, before switching to an Anti-Titan weapon. You should also take care to put away your Anti-Titan weapon while Rodeoing an enemy Titan - the explosions will hurt both you and your mount.
When sizing up the odds, watch out for Titans armed with the Chaingun, Arc Cannon, Quad Rockets or 40mm Cannon, all of which splatter damage across a broad area (the Quad Rockets aren't quite as much bother, because they move slowly). The Railgun is extremely powerful, but concentrates that power into a small space, and the Triple Threat grenade launcher is short-ranged and unwieldy, though it's enormously effective when firing into buildings.
4. Work with your own Titans
A solitary Titan has a short life expectancy. If you spot a lonely-looking Atlas while trotting around on foot, consider lending it a hand. "The more enemy Pilots you take away from the Titan, the more he can focus on what he's doing, which is usually just destroying things," says Hendry. If it helps, Titans also make useful distractions - few players can resist the temptation to fire on them, exposing themselves in the process.
Once summoned, Titans can be set to follow you or defend an area by tapping the D-pad. If you've instructed yours to defend an objective while you assault an objective on the other side of the map, be wary when you decide to call it in - the poor thing may be drawn into a nasty punch-up on the way, and the Auto-Titan AI is no match for a human player.
