Hello all! I have recently started getting interested in house plants/gardening. I need some advice on a dying plant that I just bought. Here is my story:
Yesterday at work I picked up an on sale calathea plant because it was really droopy. I bought some soil and a pot and brought it back to my house. I clipped off all of the crunchy leaves and then I watered it and when I woke up the next morning it was still droopy. The roots were very compacted in the small pot so I took it outside and repotted it. I posted a picture on this post of what it looks like now. I was just wondering if I was going through the right steps to bringing this little guy back to good health. The stems of the plant still seem very soft. Do I need to stake up the leaves so that they stand up straight? Any advice would be great. Thanks for your help! |

Did you repot in the shade? Was the root ball wet or dry? Are you sure that's not a Caladium? |
I repotted it in the shade and it is in the shade now. The root ball was moist when I repotted it. I am sure that is a calathea - it came with a tag! |

Well hopefully someone else will pick up here. About all I know about Calathea is it has beautiful leaves and likes to die at my house. I thought it had more of a central stem though, but it's been a while... sorry I don't know what else to tell you, good luck! |

The undersides of Calathea leaves are often purple (on some varieties). What did the root ball look like when you repotted? Any sign of damage? Generally it takes quite a lot of drying to make a Calathea droop as badly as that. So maybe it'll take a while for it to recover and straighten up. I'd give it a bit more time. |
The drooping IS from a lack of water, but not in the sense that the plant was too dry - it was too wet, which inhibited root function which rendered the plant unable to maintain turgidity, so it wilted - dying of thirst in a sea of plenty. That it didn't perk up right away after watering is a good sign that the issue isn't from under-watering. You should hope it's a result of recent over-watering or not enough O2 in the root zone for roots to function. If not that, it is probably the result of prolonged over-watering prior to your taking it home and a root system compromised by rot - a more serious state of affairs. It also looks like the plant might be planted too deep, but if you decide to follow the following suggestion, you can correct that right away. I think the first order of business is to check the roots & see what's there. The roots should all be tan or white & plump, not dark, slimy, hollow and easily broken, or sour smelling ..... they should smell like fresh earth. If you find roots that aren't as they should be, trim them back to sound tissue - even if you have to bare root the plant entirely to do it. Then repot into whatever you have on hand for potting soil, but make sure the soil is no wetter than a well wrung out sponge - DAMP is what you want, not WET. The key is to get some air into the soil asap. Uptake of water and nutrients isn't a passive or energy-free process; it requires energy, and an adequate supply of O2 (aeration) - a key ingredient without which the root system cannot carry on transpiration, which is the energy-driven process the uptake of water/nutrients depends on. If you're just getting started, I think if you're willing to put just a little effort into gaining an understanding of the basics, you will save yourself a lot of unnecessary heartache that comes from learning by trial and error. I'll leave you a link to look over if you want to. It's a basic overview that covers a lot of things you won't find in check-out stand plant books. If you find value in it, or you're interested in taking another step forward, let me know, and I'll link you to a thread about soils. Your soil choice is going to be pivotal in determining how hard you have to work at coaxing good vitality out of your plants, but lets save this one before we worry about the ones you don't even have yet. ;-) Best luck!

Just popping in to send good vibes and well-wishes to your plant! |
Good news - the roots were not damaged! They just looked very dry. The plant is doing well now... the stems are slowly raising up and the leaves are nice and shiny now! Al, I followed your tips on watering and planting and it looks like everything is going well! Thank you SO MUCH for all of the advice. When I get home next I will post a picture of the healing plant for you all. :) Also, I would love that link about soil. I'm always willing to learn more!! I'm excited! |
I was hoping you'd be keen to learn more after taking the time to read the link. I've helped a lot of new growers skip over many of the common trials and tribulations associated with 'just starting out', and it's ALWAYS the ones who are excited and enthusiastic that benefit the most and move forward the fastest. They're also the most fun to work with and leave whomever is helping them feeling a lot of the same excitement & enthusiasm they feel. I'm not telling you this to butter you up, rather, because my experience has shown me that there are traits that help you learn and traits that hinder learning ..... and of course, nothing makes learning a facile chore like an open mind. In the next link, you'll find a concept that links soil choice to the effort involved with bringing along healthy plants. In that light, you will learn soils are created far from equal. Whether or not you want to implement the concept is up to you, but there is little question that understanding the concept will always be a very important, probably the most important, piece of the container gardening puzzle. ANY questions can be asked there or here, at your thread. Have fun. ;-) Al |
Here is a link that might be useful: About soils for containers
Here is an updated picture! The plant is slowly but surely coming back to health! :) Thanks to everyone who gave me advice... and a special thanks to Al for the great links! |

If you have retired within the last 12 months you may well be going through a period of adjustment to your 'new life'.
You may well have reorganised your finances, or made some significant purchases and now be looking at what to do to make the most of your income in retirement from now on.
If you are feeling more financially restricted than you expected, or are considering a major purchase or expense, you may wish to consider whether your property - for most people, their biggest asset - could provide you with a lump sum or an extra income.
This type of loan secured against your home is known as Equity Release.
Equity Release may involve a lifetime mortgage or a home reversion plan. To understand the features and risks, ask for a personalised illustration.
Equity Release may not be right for everyone. It may affect your entitlement to state benefits and will reduce the value of your estate. We ask that you always consult a specialist financial adviser who is qualified to advise on these products.
As it is a lifelong commitment, we also recommend you involve your family in the decision making process because releasing money from the home will affect the amount that you will be able to leave them when you die.

Reader UI of the Week: Tyrias' UI {WoW}
Jun 1st 2010 9:46PM Mackejin, his needs are my needs. His power aura idea is also a waste. It is flashy, not informative.
I wonder what you mean by streamline because I'm not seeing it. His UF are off center from his action bars which are stacked way to many times causing a mesh of spells. I don't want to have to play "spell-search" and then awkwardly glance to the upper-left or upper-right to see a health bar.
Protip*: If you are having trouble seeing how the unit frames are awkward, imagine them, in the same exact place with the portrait's gone.
If you are going to cluster information, at least cluster them in a manner that won't cause damage to your eyes.

Jun 1st 2010 8:07PM This UI might be "clean" but it isn't efficient. There are way to many action bars showing. Memorize the keybinds and have displayed only what you absolutely need. A Hearthstone keybind, are you kidding me?
Get rid of the portraits, they are a waste of space and viewing area. Another waste of space is the combat log to the right which is completely unnecessary. That skin of sexy map is wasteful and distracting.
Remember, just because you put all of the information towards the bottom center doesn't mean you are being effective. You are just cluttering mostly useless information and causing unnecessary data to load and display on your computer and the game server.

Under Armour Unveils Super Bowl Cleats Commemorating Ray Lewis
Tomorrow's Super Bowl XLVII between the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens will be Ray Lewis' last NFL game as a player. To commemorate this grandest of occasions, Under Armour has rolled a collection of special edition cleats for the eventual Hall of Fame linebacker and other members of the Ravens squad.
Lewis will attempt to earn his second Super Bowl ring in a pair of all-gold UA cleats with customized features that pay tribute to his remarkable 17-year career in the NFL. Along with a "RL52″ logo on the Baltimore purple tongue, the cleat's sockliners are printed with a breakdown of Lewis' accomplishments, with his regular season statistics on the left insole, and post season stats on the right. The term "Psalms 91″ is printed on the medial side of the cleat, a tribute to his strong religious faith.
In addition to Ray's cleats, UA has created special edition Nitro Icon Low cleats, which will be worn by teammates Torrey Smith, Ed Reed, and Anquan Boldin. Lewis' defensive partner in crime, Haloti Ngata, will also celebrate the occasion with a pair of purple UA Renegade cleats made just for the big man.
Tune in tomorrow to see if Lewis and company can outlast Colin Kapernick and the 49ers. Who knows, No. 52 may even earn himself another spot in our list of the cleats worn by every Super Bowl MVP in NFL history.

I sheet-mulched in November. Today when I fork off most of the straw, I still see identifiable stuff such as pine straw, hickory hulls, sticks, manure. But I also see LOTS of black worm castings, and each forkful disturbs at least two or three of the most gorgeous earthworms, some 5-8 inches long.
How do I know when it's dirt? Can I plant in this space now? Or should I pull the sheets back up and let it sleep awhile longer? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I call it dirt when it holds moisture and is crumbly. I think you could plant now, just pull the top layers away from your seeds and/or transplants, and set them in where their roots will be moist and tended by worms. Leave the layers in place for mulch, don't fork them off. Keep your worms cool and happy. |
- Posted by maureensnc z7 NC (My Page) on Tue, Jun 20, 06 at 6:44
ok, thanks, Beki. The straw, etc. that was on top has been moved to a new sheet-mulch project, but today I'm sweeping up the barn floor of the local seed/feed to get lots more straw, including alfalfa, which I'm told is the complete diet the soil needs. Thanks for your response! I'll be sure to keep my gorgeous worms happy to live here with me. Hey, here's a stupid question: will worms swallow small seeds? Do I have to put in only established seedlings? |
I pile up material lasagna style and plant right away! A pocket of soil that covers the rootball, or enough to start a seed (few inches) is all that's needed. Pull back the mulch in spots and plant right through it! |

Call it a knight to remember: Fresh off one his best albums in years — the critically acclaimed "The Diving Board" — pop music legend and real-life Knight of the Realm Sir Elton John is making a rare appearance at Providence's Dunkin' Donuts Center on Saturday. The 8 p.m. concert is only the second stop on Sir Elton's current tour, which kicks off Friday in Bridgeport, Conn. (don't ask us why) and will eventually take him to more than two dozen cities in Europe and North America.
As usual, concert-goers can expect a mix of past hits (of which there are far too many to count) and newer songs, including a selection of tunes from this year's "The Diving Board." Recorded in collaboration with all-star producer T Bone Burnett, the album has been getting rave reviews for its spare-yet-soulful sound, which many have compared to classic 1970s recordings such as "Tumbleweed Connection" and "Madman Across the Water."
Elton John performs at the Dunkin' Donuts Center on Saturday at 8 p.m. Tickets are $29.50, $49.50 and $149.50. For more information, visit dunkindonutscenter.com.

Bandages have come a long way in the last 100 years.
Sure, we might have started putting medicine and cute colorful pictures on them, and about ten years ago a liquid bandage was developed, but very little has been done to give bandages the ability to improve healing. Apart from adding a sticky bit, they've remained virtually unchanged for over three thousand years.
However, all of that may change thanks to Professor Ed Goluch of Northwestern University. Goluch and grad student Thaddeus Webster are working on sensors that can be embedded into bandages to detect bacterial infections in wounds.
As a proof of concept, Goluch and Webster have developed a sensor that detects the potentially lethal bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Under Professor Goluch's scheme, anyone wearing one of these bandages could avert a potentially life-threatening infection. According to Goluch, ""You would be able to say '[an infection] is starting, even though I don't show any symptoms yet' on an open wound and that you need to put on a topical antibiotic or start taking a prescription antibiotic."
While other bacteria, like staph, are more difficult to detect, the Northwestern team believe they can make major advances in the coming years and possibly make a dramatic improvement in a critical but often overlooked medical technology.

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 OTIS!
Facts about OTIS
- Breed: Weimaraner
- Color: Gray/Blue/Silver/Salt & Pepper
- Age: Adult
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Male
OTIS's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, a special needs pet, in need of an experienced adopter, up to date with shots, not good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Otis is the product of a divorce. He stayed with the ex-husband. Then the ex re-married. The new wife and her kids did not adapt to Otis nor Otis to them. He's a big boy at 80 pounds and 5 years old. Best in a home familiar with the breed. Best with an individual or couple that have time to share. Presently Otis is confused and building trust would be a priority for new caregiver / family. Alot of positive reinforcement is needed. We've listed him as "special needs". Until comfortable, best with adults in quieter home. Adopter has to have confidence in handling dogs. Again, using positive reinforcement. Otis has potential to be a really nice dog. His history (prior to rescue) has him living with unfamiliar people that frequently left him in the garage and didn't interact with him. Obviously Weimaraners aren't a breed the previous family had knowledge of.. He's leery of new people but will bond with someone he trusts. Once he's secure & built trust with an individual -- he's a wonderful BOY!!! Housebroke, needs work on leash walking. Can be crated but not necessary. Good with most dogs, cats are questionable. Neutered, vaccines up to date, heartworm negative.......... Adoption $140 = to home well matched for his needs. IF IN THE TOLEDO AREA -- assistance from trainer is available - with part or all of the adoption fee supplied / forwarded to cost of training --- if the "right" home. Email for details..... ....................
Other Pets at Dogworks, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
OTIS, a Toledo Weimaraner dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Weimaraner for sale in Toledo, or seeking a Weimaraner dog from a breeder in Toledo.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Toledo 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 Toledo 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 Weimaraner breeders who help with Weimaraner rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Toledo paves the way for another one to be saved.

4 Rock and SoulMarkusBirdman | 10/04/2009 | See all MarkusBirdman's reviews (3)I saw these supporting Muse a few years back and bought their debut off the strength of their energetic performance. This album is full of catchy melodic rock songs lent an air of soul thanks to the lead singer's awesome voice. Shingai Shoniwa is a great front-woman with a fresh voice.If their latest single 'Don't Upset the Rhythm' is anything to go by the Noisettes will be as popular as they deserve to be by the end of 2009... anyone listening to their newer material should definitely check their debut out too!
5 Wilder than Wild Young HeartsPorkyPrimechop | 23/11/2011 | See all PorkyPrimechop's reviews (9)Anyone who has enjoyed anything from the history of British Rock will get much from this album. It is as fresh and exciting a recording as I have heard in many years and as knowing and cultured as it is stomping and roaring. The playing is superb, the singing only the over used "pure genius" can come close to describing. By contrast "Wild Young Hearts" is supremely accomplished but not nearly so entrancing.
4 Great All Around!JGROVEY | 18/10/2009 | See all JGROVEY's reviews (110)i bought this album due to purchasing their latest and hearing this album was more rocky - and i have to agree. The front woman is one of the best female singers around, and with songs like Don't Give Up and Mind the Gap, as well as the great Don't Upset The Rhythm and Saturday Night off their latest album ,this band really can be big

Raised in a synthesis of Thai and American cultures, Chottip Nimla-or (b. 1991) is deeply influenced by the values of both cultures. By drawing upon these influences, she is exploring the relationships between how people relate with their interiors as well as other's interiors.
In Chottip's work she explores the way one can objectively perceive oneself from both an external and internal role. Through the mode of sensationalized fantasy and the female form, she offers a twist to the female narrative. The personas she creates through saccharine facades are laced with an air of helplessness and fury.
With a frivolous sweet palette she subverts the conventions of typical reality
The use of domestic imagery, tradition-laden practices and familiar fantasy are used to evoke a sense of the unease, pain, and adoration.

Day Three Ready to play thirty-six?The first stop is Wyncote Golf Club. Though it lies at the tip of Amish country in Oxford, Pennsylvania, some fifteen miles west of Kennett Square, when you arrive there you'll think you're in Brigadoon. In true Scottish fashion, architect Brian Ault's award-winning heathland adventure is treeless and prey to the winds. Be sure to pack your best knock-down shots and bump-and-runs. In addition to skilled shotmaking, Wyncote requires a stout heart, especially if you're walking: Each nine begins with a long par five around a lake and ends with an uphill three-shotter.
Afterward, backtrack a half hour into Delaware and experience an entirely different challenge at the two-year-old White Clay Creek Country Club, located between Wilmington and Newark. The layout wraps around Delaware Park race track—on most holes you can hear the bugler calling horses to the post. Arthur Hills wove the routing beside, around and over creeks and marshland to create a layout demanding forced carries and prudent decision making. Unless you have a bazooka in your arsenal, choose your tees wisely.
If two rounds is too much, spend the afternoon strolling through Longwood Gardens. The former estate of Pierre S. du Pont, great-grandson of the conglomerate's founder, this 1,050-acre spread (roughly a third of which is open to the public) offers testament to his curiosity and his wealth. It's a wonderland of cultivated flora and Italianate fountains. Year round, Longwood's four-and-a-half-acre conservatory is aromatic with orchids, roses and other floral and arboreal displays.
Toast your stamina afterward by sampling some of the twenty-seven beers on tap, including local suds from Victory, Yuengling, Yards and Troegs, at the Half Moon Restaurant & Saloon in the heart of Kennett Square's revitalized State Street. They all complement the house specialty: game, from native bison (ranched next door in Unionville) to far-flung imports such as ostrich, kangaroo, alligator and wild boar.
If you're in the mood for something more formal, the candlelit Dilworthtown Inn in West Chester, a former stone-and-brick home that predates the nation's independence, is consistently ranked among the region's poshest establishments. It began service as a tavern in 1780, having been trashed by the British three years earlier following their victory in the Battle of Brandywine. The inn has been serving the public ever since.
Day Four Getaway day starts with a wake-up call amid the wild elevation changes and tree-lined corridors of Deerfield Golf & Tennis Club in Newark, just west of Wilmington. Originally a satellite facility of DuPont Country Club, the course functioned for several years as the private reserve of MBNA executives until Bank of America swallowed the credit-card giant in 2005 and posted its interest elsewhere. That decision is paying off: These days Deerfield is a superb state-owned course.
Finally, take a tour of Brandywine Battlefield Park in Chadds Ford, site of the largest one-day confrontation of the American Revolution. Both Washington and the Marquis de Lafayette slept here. It's a shame they were too preoccupied to bring their clubs.

Ellis herself was present at the event and passionately shared her vision, explaining that Faas colours are based on the colours that exist naturally in our bodies and designed to universally flatter all skintones.
The sleek, cool metal casing is extravagant and will definitely have those around you flocking to see what you've just pulled out of your makeup bag.
Eye colours come in two options - Creamy Eyes and Milky Eyes. The liquid to powder formula of the Creamy Eyes is super easy to apply, blends well and dries quickly to create a soft, velvety finish which can be layered to create a more dramatic effect. Milky Eyes has a slightly more translucent texture and can be used in conjunction with Creamy Eyes to add a silky sheen of colour.
The lip shades come in three textures and 27 colours. From stained and subtle to vivid and glossy, Ellis Faas has it all covered. If you prefer more of a stained finish go for Creamy Lips or for a full on wet-look shine opt for Glazed Lips. Either way, you won't be disappointed.
The range launches exclusively in Liberty next month and prices are as follows (correct as of Dec 2009):
lips £21
eyeshadows £22
mascara £19
eyeliner £20
blush £20
foundation £34
concealer £21
powder £19
holder £21
Not cheap, but comparable to other lines readily available in department stores. I had a good play with all the products and liked some of the lip and eye shades. I may treat myself to a couple of lip shades if feeling particularly frivolous!
Check here to view handy step by step videos sharing application tips The range is currently available online from Ellisfaas.com but pricing is in Euros. It launches in the UK next month at Liberty so not long to go until you can view it all in person.

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Arthur, Kweku Kwakye email@example.com URN etd-07232010-192957 Document Title Considerations towards the development of a forensic evidence management system Degree MSc Department Computer Science Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof M S Olivier Committee Chair Keywords
- investigations
- finite state automata
- forensic evidence management system
- computer forensics
- digital forensics
Date 2010-09-02 Availability unrestricted Abstract The decentralized nature of the Internet forms its very foundation, yet it is this very nature that has opened networks and individual machines to a host of threats and attacks from malicious agents. Consequently, forensic specialists - tasked with the investigation of crimes commissioned through the use of computer systems, where evidence is digital in nature - are often unable to adequately reach convincing conclusions pertaining to their investigations.
Some of the challenges within reliable forensic investigations include the lack of a global view of the investigation landscape and the complexity and obfuscated nature of the digital world. A perpetual challenge within the evidence analysis process is the reliability and integrity associated with digital evidence, particularly from disparate sources. Given the ease with which digital evidence (such as metadata) can be created, altered, or destroyed, the integrity attributed to digital evidence is of paramount importance.
This dissertation focuses on the challenges relating to the integrity of digital evidence within reliable forensic investigations.
These challenges are addressed through the proposal of a model for the construction of a Forensic Evidence Management System (FEMS) to preserve the integrity of digital evidence within forensic investigations. The Biba Integrity Model is utilized to maintain the integrity of digital evidence within the FEMS. Casey's Certainty Scale is then employed as the integrity classifcation scheme for assigning integrity labels to digital evidence within the system.
The FEMS model consists of a client layer, a logic layer and a data layer, with eight system components distributed amongst these layers. In addition to describing the FEMS system components, a fnite state automata is utilized to describe the system component interactions. In so doing, we reason about the FEMS's behaviour and demonstrate how rules within the FEMS can be developed to recognize and prole various cyber crimes. Furthermore, we design fundamental algorithms for processing of information by the FEMS's core system components; this provides further insight into the system component interdependencies and the input and output parameters for the system transitions and decision-points infuencing the value of inferences derived within the FEMS.
Lastly, the completeness of the FEMS is assessed by comparing the constructs and operation of the FEMS against the published work of Brian D Carrier. This approach provides a mechanism for critically analyzing the FEMS model, to identify similarities or impactful considerations within the solution approach, and more importantly, to identify shortcomings within the model. Ultimately, the greatest value in the FEMS is in its ability to serve as a decision support or enhancement system for digital forensic investigators.

Inside the Beltway: Campaign still bustling
From: The Washington Times | November 29, 2012
All those cheeky, annoying, occasionally profane emails sent out by the Obama for America campaign are going nowhere. While Republicans reorganize and ponder their future standard-bearer, aggressive Democratic operatives continue to send out follow-up missives to millions of targeted email addresses, requesting feel-good feedback and offering a personalized follow-up survey ...

I stayed here to just spend the night so I can be fresh for long drive next day. The room was clean with well made bed. No issues with the bathroom either. This hotel is for budget travelers who are looking for value for money!
Seriously, the worst thing I can say about the hotel was that it is old and it shows. The rooms are dark thanks to the dark wood paneling that was popular when the hotel was built (my guess would be 60's-70's), the plaster is sporting some discoloration, and the fixtures are a bit dated.
But that's the worst I can...

An ex-convict was held Friday in DuPage County Jail in Wheaton on $250,000 bail, after he and another man were arrested and charged in connection with two robberies of a Naperville convenience food store over a seven-day period.
Adam R. Zace, 30, has an extensive criminal record, and lives at 409 Kiowa Drive, in the Lake Caryonah apartment complex in central Naperville. His home is a block or so south and east of the 7-Eleven store at 351 E. Bailey Road, which he now stands accused of robbing twice.
A friend, Kyle L. McGill, allegedly acted as Zace's driver and lookout during one of the holdups, according to Brian Cunningham, one of the Naperville Police Department's deputy chiefs. McGill, 28, lives at 876 N. Gladstone Ave. in Aurora, Cunningham wrote Friday in a release.
Zace faces trial on two felony counts of aggravated robbery, while McGill is charged with one count of aggravated robbery, Cunningham said.
Cunningham's terse release did not specify the stickup in which McGill allegedly participated. It was not known whether he remained Friday at the police station or was in the process of being admitted into the jail.
The release stated only that police on Friday "arrested two individuals matching the descriptions provided in an investigation" of the robberies. Cunningham did not return a telephone message left late Friday afternoon at his office that sought more information about the investigation and arrests.
Sgt. Bill Davis, the department's media spokesman, said Friday an eyewitness or informant provided police with information that led them to one of the suspects. That, in turn, led police to the other man, he said.
Davis said he did not know whether police were led first to Zace or McGill. He said he could provide no further information about the case.
The holdups occurred at 7:21 a.m. May 15 and 10:07 a.m. Thursday, police said. The robber, in each case, implied he was carrying a weapon, although none was displayed.
Police said the man donned a black ski mask during the May 15 holdup and a red mask during Thursday's heist. A dark-green, older model Volkswagen Jetta with a tan roof was seen in the area at the time of Thursday's robbery.
Unspecified amounts of money were taken from the store's cash register each time, police said.
The common denominator in descriptions of the robber that were given to police was a pair of black and white athletic shoes.
Zace on May 26, 2011 was sentenced to concurrent, six-month terms in DuPage County Jail, after he was convicted in separate cases of retail theft earlier that year in Downers Grove and Woodridge, as well as possession of a controlled substance in Naperville, according to documents on file in DuPage County Circuit Court.
His record also includes a 30-day jail stint for an April 2002 felony theft in Hinsdale; a 24-day jail sentence for a January 2006 possession of drug paraphernalia crime in an unincorporated area of the county; and a 30-day jail term for shoplifting in November 2010 in Downers Grove, court documents showed.
Zace has no criminal record in Kane and Will counties. McGill has received traffic tickets in Kane County, but has no criminal record there or in DuPage and Will counties, records indicated.

B&K Precision Corporation added the Model 885 Synthesized In-Circuit LCR/ESR meter to its growing line of test and measurement products. The new lightweight, battery-powered, hand-held unit can be used to test components at frequencies up to 10 kHz. "Our new Model 885 Synthesized In-Circuit meter is the first of its kind available today, and with the ability to test components at frequencies up to 10 kHz, it is the most accurate meter on the market," says Victor Tolan, president and CEO of the supplier. "If you're looking to ensure the performance of the circuit, our meter will get the job done quickly and economically." Higher frequency circuits are being used every day to take advantage of the size, performance, and lower power. The Equivalent Serial Resistance (ESR) in a capacitor is said to be the key element determining efficiency and performance; with the Model 885, the user can reportedly quickly check the ESR of a capacitor. The hand-held meter offers a wide range of test frequencies. It has been designed for both component evaluation on the production line and fundamental impedance testing from bench-top applications. Utilizing the built-in test fixture, the user can reportedly easily test the lead components. Surface mount components are usually tiny and have no wire leads, making them more difficult to test, according to the supplier. The included SMD test probe is said to enable users to conduct SMD component testing easily. An optional four-wire test clip reportedly provides a convenient connection to larger components and assemblies with the accuracy of four-wire testing. The device offers a large variety of measurement parameters such as Z, L, C, DCR, ESR, D, Q, and Ø, and a wide range of test conditions including 100 Hz, 120 Hz, l kHz, 10 kHz, l Vrms, 0.25 Vrms, and 0.05 Vrms. It features d.c. resistance measurement, rechargeable battery/a.c. power, 0.5 percent basic accuracy, a large, easy-to-read dual LCD display, fully automatic/manual selection, and very quick response, says the supplier. The synthesized in-circuit LCR/ECR meter comes with instruction manual, battery, SMD surface mount probe, and carrying case.

World English Bible (WEB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Awake, awake, put on your strength, Zion; put on your beautiful garments, Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into you the uncircumcised and the unclean. | 1 Awake, awake, O Zion, clothe yourself with strength. Put on your garments of splendor, O Jerusalem, the holy city. The uncircumcised and defiled will not enter you again. |
2 Shake yourself from the dust; arise, sit [on your throne], Jerusalem: loose yourself from the bonds of your neck, captive daughter of Zion. | 2 Shake off your dust; rise up, sit enthroned, O Jerusalem. Free yourself from the chains on your neck, O captive Daughter of Zion. |
3 For thus says Yahweh, You were sold for nothing; and you shall be redeemed without money. | 3 For this is what the LORD says: "You were sold for nothing, and without money you will be redeemed." |
4 For thus says the Lord Yahweh, My people went down at the first into Egypt to sojourn there: and the Assyrian has oppressed them without cause. | 4 For this is what the Sovereign LORD says: "At first my people went down to Egypt to live; lately, Assyria has oppressed them. |
5 Now therefore, what do I here, says Yahweh, seeing that my people is taken away for nothing? those who rule over them do howl, says Yahweh, and my name continually all the day is blasphemed. | 5 "And now what do I have here?" declares the LORD. "For my people have been taken away for nothing, and those who rule them mock, " declares the LORD. "And all day long my name is constantly blasphemed. |
6 Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore [they shall know] in that day that I am he who does speak; behold, it is I. | 6 Therefore my people will know my name; therefore in that day they will know that it is I who foretold it. Yes, it is I." |
7 How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of good, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, Your God reigns! | 7 How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, "Your God reigns!" |
8 The voice of your watchmen! they lift up the voice, together do they sing; for they shall see eye to eye, when Yahweh returns to Zion. | 8 Listen! Your watchmen lift up their voices; together they shout for joy. When the LORD returns to Zion, they will see it with their own eyes. |
9 Break forth into joy, sing together, you waste places of Jerusalem; for Yahweh has comforted his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem. | 9 Burst into songs of joy together, you ruins of Jerusalem, for the LORD has comforted his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem. |
10 Yahweh has made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. | 10 The LORD will lay bare his holy arm in the sight of all the nations, and all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God. |
11 Depart you, depart you, go you out from there, touch no unclean thing; go you out of the midst of her; cleanse yourselves, you who bear the vessels of Yahweh. | 11 Depart, depart, go out from there! Touch no unclean thing! Come out from it and be pure, you who carry the vessels of the LORD. |
12 For you shall not go out in haste, neither shall you go by flight: for Yahweh will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rearward. | 12 But you will not leave in haste or go in flight; for the LORD will go before you, the God of Israel will be your rear guard. |
13 Behold, my servant shall deal wisely, he shall be exalted and lifted up, and shall be very high. | 13 See, my servant will act wisely; he will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted. |
14 Like as many were astonished at you (his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men), | 14 Just as there were many who were appalled at him-- his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any man and his form marred beyond human likeness-- |
15 so shall he sprinkle many nations; kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they understand. | 15 so will he sprinkle many nations, and kings will shut their mouths because of him. For what they were not told, they will see, and what they have not heard, they will understand. |

Speaker: Richard FeynmanTime: 50 minutes
Fifty minutes of PURE Feynman! This is the original Horizon Nova interview - essential for any Feynman fan... and for everyone else too! THE PLEASURE OF FINDING THINGS OUT was filmed in 1981 and will delight and inspire anyone who would like to share something of the joys of scientific discovery. Feynman is a master storyteller, and his tales -- about childhood, Los Alamos, or how he won a Nobel Prize -- are a vivid and entertaining insight into the mind of a great scientist at work and play. 'The 1981 Feynman Horizon is the best science program I have ever seen. This is not just my opinion - it is also the opinion of many of the best scientists that I know who have seen the program... It should be mandatory viewing for all students whether they be science or arts students.' - Professor Sir Harry Kroto, Nobel Prize for Chemistry

The Cutest Little "Boy" on the Mountain
There's something magical about seeing kids in colorful gear running around in stark contrast to the fresh white snow. I was reminded of this last weekend when we went on a family getaway to the mountains. My boys had done this trip a couple times, and they knew all that they had to look forward to. My daughter, "Pink", was making her first trip. We were hopeful she'd follow in her brothers' footsteps and love the snow, but there was always the chance she'd be upset by the cold, the gear, or any number of things.
We got all geared up, and headed toward the tubing mountain. She was game, even wearing bizarrely large gloves due to a packing mishap. From the moment we sat her in the inner tube, she was ready to go. We walked her up to the top of the hill, and down she went.
She laughed, she screamed, she begged for more. Yes, she loved every minute of the adventure. And all along the way, kids and adults alike commented on how cute, how brave, and how adventurous our little boy was.
Wait … our what?!
It turns out wearing her big brother's old snow suit (and a hood over her bright pink bow) had people fooled. That, and her bold sense of adventure, I'm guessing. And while she may not be one, it's true — our baby girl is already keeping up with the boys. And she likes it.

Istanbul, (AFP)- Turkey does not need United States' mediation to solve a
long-lasting crisis with Israel over a deadly 2010 flotilla raid, Turkish
Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said Saturday.
"We do not need mediation ... for Israel in any way," Davutoglu said
during a televised press conference in the central province of Konya when
asked to comment on the possibility of the US helping to resolve their
"There is no such situation in which mediation is needed. The demands of
Turkey are clear" if its former ally Israel wants to improve relations,
Davutoglu said.
"No one should test our resolve on this matter," he said, adding that
Israeli-Turkish relations might be on the agenda among other issues of a
meeting between Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and US
President Barack Obama next week on the sidelines of the UN general
"The Americans are probably the people who best understand Turkey's
position on this issue," Davutoglu added.

Wednesday, August 16, 2006 - Page updated at 12:00 AM The Diet Detective What's in your beef? Even the label is of little helpSyndicated Columnist Having confidence in our foods is important. However, with so many claims — no antibiotics, no chemicals, no additives, hormone-free — it's difficult to know what they really mean when it comes to meat and poultry. Here's a guide. No antibiotics What it implies: That no antibiotics were used in raising the animal. What it means: There are basically two methods for using antibiotics in raising animals. The first is called "subtherapeutic," meaning that low levels of antibiotics are mixed with the feed, even if the animals are not sick. This is supposed to promote animal growth and prevent disease. In fact, according to Urvashi Rangan, an environmental scientist at the nonprofit-research group Consumers Union, up to 70 percent of all antibiotics have been estimated to go into the daily feeding of animals in this country. "Some antibiotics are fed to cattle to alter the balance of bacteria in the stomach or rumen in order to favor the presence of bacteria that assist in the digestion of corn and improve animal efficiency," says Karen Killinger-Mann, a consumer food-safety specialist at Washington State University. The other reason ("therapeutic") antibiotics are used in raising animals is if the animals are sick. Normally, if one animal gets sick, the entire herd is treated. Organic farmers, however, can treat only that one animal and must remove it from organic production, says Rangan. While the phrases "no antibiotics administered" and "raised without antibiotics" are allowed, the U.S. Department of Agriculture prohibits the labeling of any meat product with the term "antibiotic-free." The term "no antibiotics added" may be used if sufficient documentation is provided by the producer. Verification: None. The USDA is technically responsible, but there is no system in place to check the validity of such claims — so while the label is specific and, therefore, somewhat meaningful, without verification these claims provide assurance only up to a point. The real story: Rangan says that the legally allowed amounts of antibiotic residues in meat are not the primary concern in terms of our health. The fact that farmers are boosting animal growth by giving them "low levels" of antibiotics all the time may contribute to an increase in the number of bacteria resistant to antibiotics, a serious public-health problem. No hormones
What it means: The USDA does not allow hormones in the production of pork or poultry. Therefore, the claim "no hormones added" cannot be used on labels unless it is followed by a statement that says, "Federal regulations prohibit the use of hormones." However, those regulations are not always followed. As for beef, "No hormones administered" indicates that the animal was not given any added hormones over the course of its lifetime. The term may be approved for use on the labels of beef products with sufficient documentation provided to the USDA by the producer. Verification: None. The real story: Cattle that are not rushed to grow using hormones are often raised on pastures and live low-stress lives. As a result, they are healthier. When you choose products from pastured animals, you are eating the food that nature intended. However, the "no-hormones" claim does not guarantee that the cattle were raised in a pasture. No additives What it implies: That the animal was not given any of the approximately 2,800 "food additives," including salt, sugar and corn syrup, that are by far the most widely used additives in this country, according to the USDA. What it means: " Food additive" is defined by the Food and Drug Administration as any substance used to provide a technical effect in foods. Additives are used for flavor and appeal; food preparation; and processing, freshness and safety. They include coloring, preservatives and flavorings (including salt). "No additives" means that the cut of meat or poultry itself has not been enhanced with any natural or artificial ingredients. It has nothing to do with how the animals were raised or what they ate. Verification: None. The USDA and FDA share authority over the approval of additives in meat and poultry, but there is no verification for manufacturers using this label. The real story: According to Rangan, even if the claim is truthful, it may be misleading, because most people think it has to do with how the animals were raised. No chemicals added What it implies: That the animal was raised and produced without antibiotics, additives or pesticides. What it means: Unfortunately, no one has decided. "No chemicals added" is not a term regulated by the USDA, and no government body has proposed a solid definition. The USDA does, however, prohibit the use of the term "chemical-free" on meat and poultry. Verification: None. The real story: Since there's no government definition, this label doesn't really help you. Antibiotics, pesticides and additives are not legally classified as chemicals so, presumably, they could be added by a manufacturer using this label. According to Rangan, when the label defines what the producer means by "no chemicals" — listing no antibiotics, no pesticides, no hormones — it has some level of clarity. But the phrase "no chemicals" on a label is meaningless. Charles Stuart Platkin is a nutrition and public-health advocate.

Interview + Ticket Giveaway | Girl Talk
Recently, we had a chance to chat with Greg Gillis (aka Girl Talk) about his interest in yoga, eco-friendly beliefs, nature, and ok...some music!
After you read the interview below, check out the contest we have running here. We are giving away 4 music tickets for Saturday, July 30th at WL California and a chance to go backstage and meet Girl Talk after his performance! You gotta be in it to win it, and you snooze...you lose - contest details are here.
You performed at our inaugural Wanderlust festival in 2009. We're psyched to have you back this year! What's your most fond memory from that experience?
I had a good time! The Fire and Ice Dinner was fantastic. I love doing festivals where I feel like a slight outsider in some way...when there's not so much electronic music it's always exciting, and a challenge. It was perfect on that level, where I felt I stood out, and the crowd was open minded enough to get it. It was really refreshing.
Awesome! So would you say that you are a yogi?
I wouldn't say so. Theoretically I am into it, but I just haven't gotten there. My tour manager does it a bit and so do some of my friends, but I haven't quite ventured into it yet.
Maybe you can drop into a class this year! Nature is also a huge part of Wanderlust. Actually, your hometown, Pittsburgh, has more trees per capita than any other major city in the world! Do you feel any sort of close connection with nature?
Really? That's interesting. I live right outside of the city and it can feel like you're in the middle of a forest. I always loved that about Pittsburgh – it's very nice hybrid. I was just talking about that with some friends recently. There are so many great parks, and it's cool to take my dog out to run around. I grew up in the South Hills, where it's more suburban. I consider myself more of a city person though; I don't go hiking or do outdoorsy things really, but I definitely appreciate nature.
I understand while your music was starting to become popular, you were working full time as a biomedical engineer. What was it like balancing such a drastically different double life? And how did you break the news to your boss when you eventually quit to focus on music?
Well there was definitely a big jump there. I had been making music since 2000, and started working that job in 2006. At the time, music was just a hobby for me. Doing shows was always just something fun; I put time and energy into it, but never considered it a job or career. When I got that job, I would do one show a month or so – not too far (from Pittsburgh); I'd play New York or Cincinnati, smaller shows that friends put on. It wasn't a big deal at all.
Then in the summer of 2006, things started to pick up when I put out a record and people really took to it. People on the internet started to talk... Before I knew it I had a booking agent and my weekends started to fill up. And then there would be checks for me. When I started to get paid for these shows, it seemed like nothing to go out and play every weekend.
I basically went a year without having a single day off, running to the airport, repeat, every night. It got crazy – I'd be going to London on a Saturday and getting back to work by Monday. My bosses didn't know about it...
By 2007 I had done a few tours and had used up all of my vacation time. I was getting offers to tour overseas - Australia and Europe. It was a mind-blowing concept to make the decision to quit. When I left the job, I didn't even tell my bosses about Girl Talk. I didn't want to leave on weird terms; didn't want them to think I was a crazy liar or something. I told them I was going to travel the world to find myself (which was kind of true), and left the music out of it. They eventually found out.
I still hear from some of those guys on Twitter and Facebook. It's funny - it was a hard thing to explain because I'm not, like, a drummer or guitar player. I remix pop songs and get wild on stage...
That's incredible. It's hard to imagine not dancing to your insane mash-ups! Was it ever tough to get the crowd moving when you first started performing live?
Yeah...In the early years shows were hit or miss. It didn't work for everyone. When you show up at a rock club, playing Madonna remixes and tearing clothes off, people can be so-so about it. Sometimes it was cool, sometimes more confrontational. It helped to have friends at shows.
I'm constantly trying to frame the old days and remember what it was like - sometimes a few people would be dancing and sometimes the whole crowd would just be still and stare. There was a certain tension - one guy would be buggin' out, while the rest had their arms folded. There were many dead shows. I played at least 50 shows to 5 or less people.
The earliest music I did was much different. The project has evolved a lot over the years. My first record is pretty abrasive and hard to listen to. I was always a fan of laptop music, but I wanted to kind of put my foot out there – make it a goal to be fun and entertaining. Like a tiny version of a KISS show!
Well these days for your performances, you've had a crew people onstage shooting toilet paper, confetti, balloons, etc. out into the crowd. Since Wanderlust is focused on being green/eco-friendly' might you have any more of 'earth-friendly' props in mind? Or maybe we'll all just re-use that TP...
Well we actually use biodegradable confetti at all of our shows! It's expensive, but worth it. It all disintegrates into the earth and it's not harmful. I think often times launching off some rolls of toilet paper is pretty minimal damage compared to what else goes on out there. It really creates an interesting live show, and it's a pretty easy clean-up. Haha yeah, if anyone wants to re-use it – it's clean if you catch it!

BANGALORE: Soon, you will be able to send presentations to your office from your car, as you drive out of town. Green Field Expressways (GFE) is a new concept initiated by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MORTH), which has pitched for five new expressways, with Bangalore as the pivotal point of three.
The first phase of this project, called the coordinated corridor of rural development (CORD) will cover Mangalore-Karwar-Panaji (400km). The second phase will take up Honnavar-Shimoga-Bangalore (325km), Chitradurga-Solapur (400km) and Bangalore-Mangalore (360km). The Bangalore-Coimbatore (402km) line will be taken up in the third phase.
These expressways will be active carriers of wired and wireless broadband services, telemedicine counters, supply chain management, green power generation, water management models and transportation, and are being planned under the public private partnership (PPP) model of construction.
The expressways could also be fitted with mini vertical windmills or solar fencing which can generate enough energy to meet the demand required to sustain the infrastructure and also pass on the excess to the grid. Every 50km, telemedicine kiosks will be set up to call doctors for free treatment, with medicines available at attached counters. Land will be acquired for the projects, but the plan is to provide alternative livelihood to the land owners.
"We could give the land owners a shop or compensation with which they can build a commercial complex or service counters or hotels around the expressways, instead of acquiring land from them by merely giving them money. The GFEs have scope for these. Instead of creating Project Affected Families, we can create Project Benefited Families by making them stakeholders in the development of corridors and expressways," said C Kandasamy, special secretary, MORTH.
He also suggested that the GFEs should connect rural roads, state and national highways. "In Japan, GFEs have gone through hills and oceans and between fourth and fifth floors of high rises. We can create townships and smaller cities around the bigger cities along the expressways. Some traveller facilities can be self-financing and others can charge for use along the CORD roads," he added.
He also suggested that state governments can levy tourism and decongestion cess in GFEs which start from cities.
The National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) made it clear that toll will be collected on the road to BIA at Sadahalli, before the diversion to the airport, as the government is not funding the NHAI to develop the road. Those developing the road have to raise funds, for which they need to start collecting toll. "It was part of the structure of the road planned three years ago, and our hands are tied," said an NHAI official from Bangalore. "Commuters need to pay only while coming back from the airport. This will cost them nearly half (Rs 25)," he said.

text: By G. Michael Dobbs Managing Editor Once again, Springfield is in the barrel and there appears to be plenty of people willing to beat it. Mayor Domenic Sarno has said the recent shooting at a downtown strip bar has given the city "a black eye." That is an understatement, of course. It was a second time that a downtown strip club was the location of a murder. Like the first one, this appears to be gang on gang violence and like the first one, the killer has been caught. The unsigned, unknown editorial writers of The Republican decided on Wednesday to call for the immediate closings of all of the city strips clubs. I'm sure there are plenty of people who support such a stand. The new publicity isn't good for downtown businesses and restaurants who rely on attracting folks from other parts of the city and other communities. The city will be conducting a joint entertainment license and liquor license hearing in about two weeks. The date will be set for sometime 10 days after the police report on the shooting is completed. A hearing such as this one conducted in a timely manner is the city's logical and legal response. I've heard that some city councilors are exploring the creation of an ordinance that would establish a special permit process for a strip club. The legality of such an ordinance has yet been worked out. I'm troubled with the notion that if you close the strip clubs you'll cure the issue of violence and the perception of violence that downtown Springfield has because it's na ve. It makes a snappy headline, but such a move doesn't address the real problems. What I would like to see happen is a comprehensive look of what crimes have been committed, where they were committed and who committed them. Then let's ask the following question: could a change in policing or a change in ordinance have prevented any of them? For instance, if the 18-plus events in the city cause crime, shouldn't we eliminate them? Sarno has spoken about that tactic, but I don't think he has employed it yet. If police presence is an issue, shouldn't we establish a police sub-station in the middle of downtown? If a new bar wants to open, do we deny its liquor application and try to get a restaurant in the location instead? If any business is a spot for recurring trouble, shouldn't we seek to close it? If young people under the age of 21 make up the majority of either those arrested or victims, shouldn't we have a curfew? Several months ago, a group of downtown business owners met with City Councilor Bud Williams on the subject of safety and made a number of what I thought were worthwhile suggestions. Have any of these been implemented? A taxi stand? Restricting the traffic flow? Policing parking lots for under-aged drinking? For the record, folks, most of these headline-grabbing crimes have happened late at night. Adults looking for a great meal will find it downtown without encountering problems. *** On July 3, Tower Theaters in South Hadley will celebrate its 20th anniversary. In the movie business that's significant, as two-screen, independently-operated, first run theaters are not the normal business model. I know, as I was the founding manager of that theater and worked there for its first three years in business. As a movie nut, it gave me the chance to actively participate in the business on the exhibition end. John Morrison and Richard Pini, the then owners of the Pleasant Street Theater in Northampton, had leased the theater and were my two bosses. How come I frequently wind up with two bosses? It was a bumpy ride as we struggled to get first-run product, figured out who was our audience and what they wanted and carved out our niche here. Believe it or not, "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," which we showed once and sometime twice a week, saved our behinds many weeks, providing the money for payroll. For that I easily put up with guys in corsets and fishnet stockings. Despite the challenges, I really enjoyed it. I had a great staff, some of which are still friends with my wife and me. My proudest moment came when a big corporate theater chain threatened Orion Pictures it would pull "Dances With Wolves" from their theaters if the studio didn't make us stop charging just $3 on Monday nights for the film. I guess we were considered a threat! Congrats to Bob Adam and his staff for carrying on the spirit of independence. This column represents the opinions of its author.

Just picked up a yarrow ("Summer Wine") because I've seen it growing up the street and thought the foliage was interesting. Took it home, hopped online and read that yarrow can be invasive. Does anyone grow it in the Northern Nevada area and is it invasive?
Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I grow a couple of different varieties of yarrow up here in the Elko area and haven't found it to be invasive at all. Its really hardy, grows quickly, is deer resistance (YEAH!) and easy to transplant and divide. The roots aren't very hard to dig up. Common yarrow can be a problem if left unchecked in open spaces and meadows, but in your yard go ahead and plant it. They flower for a long time and you can trim them back with no problems. |

Thanks for the info valree! |
I grew some Yarrow in a window box. It came back each year, but didn't spread hardly at all. |
- Posted by themayocynic NV Z5 (My Page) on Tue, May 18, 10 at 1:35
I'm glad to hear that it's hardy but not invasive in this area. I planted it and it looked dead a few days later. I took a look at it this weekend to see if I should just hack it off and put it out of its misery, but I saw some vibrant new growth under all the dead foliage. Let's hope my Disney rose that I planted the same day recovers as well 8\ |
