Iron Zapper
The Iron-Zapper Works When Others Fail!The Iron-Zapper eliminates iron stains and rotten egg odors from hydrogen sulfide because the Iron-Zapper's filter media has high amounts of manganese dioxide, an active ingredient, proven to effectively treat iron and hydrogen sulfide. For this reason, Iron-Zapper works when other iron reduction systems fail! Reduces:
Additional Advantages
Chemical FreeThe Iron-Zapper whole house filtration system is chemical free because chemical oxidizing agents such as chlorine, hydrogen peroxide and potasuim permanganate are typically not required. Eliminates the Need For:
*Provided chlorine is not required for disinfection or when iron bacteria is present. How it WorksThe Iron-Zapper system consists of a control valve, pressurized mineral tank and the special Iron-Zapper filter media. Water flows through the Iron-Zapper's filter media, which acts as a catalyst to use the oxygen content of the water to oxidize iron, hydrogen sulfide and manganese. Subsequently, these oxidized particles are trapped by the filter media and removed from your water during the backwash cycle. |

I am the garden coordinator (Free Weed Puller) for a Middle School in Temple, Texas. Last year a Military Troop that adopted the school came to the school and put in railroad ties to fix a problem that the school had of the yard washing down the road. Now it is built up and it looks great. There were plants donated and a Group called B. E. M. E. R. S. (something amount beautification education math, science) anyway it was a group of kids that stayed after school and planted plants. Nothing was put down first to keep the grass from growing and now there is grass and weeds in the beds. It was totally neglected over the summer and the weeds took over. The Army troop came and helped all day pulling weeds and putting down compost. The beds never got completely done. To make this long story shorter, I would like to yank up the plant that are there and plant some kind of plant that would fill out and cover the beds. I would like it to be able to exist with the grass and choke it out. I would like for it to be maybe 12 inches or little more taller. And it looks great all year long. Very low maintenance and very little water required, since it is not taken care of during the summer months. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I´m not sure whether your plan is feasible, since planting something virtually maintenance free and able to choke down weeds is quite difficult to achieve. One option for you, and since this is a school, is to use it as an opportunity to teach the kids something. Maybe what you could do was: 1 - Remove any plants planted that you want to keep 2 - Lay down lots of newspaper and cardboard and build a type of lasagna garden bed. There is a forum specifically for this method and there is also an interesting discussion of it in the cottage gardens forum. The kids could bring the newspaper and cardboard from home and help build the layers. This would also offer the biology teachers the chance to teach them a bit how Mother Nature works. 3 - Once the bed is ready, replant the plants you saved and add other easy care ones. Options for your warm climate are succulents, cacti and ornamental grasses. Maybe each kid could donate a plant (don´t know how many kids there are in the school and the size of the beds), according to the directives you set. This wouldn´t cost much for the families but would give the kids a sense of ownership they will lack if you just get the plants from a garden centre. They will then be able to track the progress of his/her own plant, as well as the others. 4 - Prepare to have at least minimum care during the Summer holidays, otherwise this would just be a waste a time. Isn´t there a janitor or security officer who might be able to water? If this is not the case, consider investing in a watering system which can be operated by a small programmable computer. If you use easy care plants like I mentioned above you should be able to get away with it for a couple of months without much care anyway. I don´t know if I´ve helped, but this is how I would approach the project, if it was mine. Eduarda |

Great advise from Eduarda, I would like to add and highly recommend the use of MULCH ALOT of it. I'm not talking about a thin layer just to cover. I'm talking at least 4 inches. THe more the better. It will help in the prevention of most weeds and the ones that insist on trying too grow there it so much easier to pull them out. Mulch will help with the amount of watering. Visit the Lady Bird Johnson WIld Flower Center on the web and see the hardy, drought, resistant plants they grow and suggest. Also Our Garden club will have plants to donate in the Spring so let me know if you need anything then. |

My tour is about up in this war that most Americans now say is unwinnable or not worth continuing.
Category Archives: Dateline: Afghanistan
I'm crossing the line separating positive attitude from self-delusion.
"I'll believe we're going to Afghanistan as soon as we start rolling down the runway."
In the civilian world, getting fired pretty much sucks. In the military, on the other hand, it can be a good career move and a definite way for improving one's quality of life.
I'll accept all the adulation I can get. I mean, it beats the hell out of being spit on, but I felt a twinge of guilt.
It's hard not to think that every conflict the United States enters has as much to do with trying out all the toys as it does about furthering American harmonization around the world.
Being shot at seems a strange thing to celebrate, but everything seems a little strange in Afghanistan.
This war needs a little less armored obstinacy and a little more ranch hand ingenuity and horse sense.
Ten years of shooting and killing and surging has failed to transform Afghanistan into an American-friendly democracy. What a surprise!

Salt Lake City, Utah, Dec 04, 2013 -- Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack today announced funding for projects in 40 states to finance investments in improved water and wastewater systems for more than 200,000 rural residents.
"Rural businesses and residents need access to clean water and modern waste disposal systems. This isn't just an economic issue, it's an issue of basic health and safety," said Vilsack. "Water and wastewater projects like these help safeguard rural access to a modern, working infrastructure, which in turn ensures a decent quality of life and helps attract – and keep – the best and brightest in small towns across America."
In today's announcement, USDA is providing $203 million for 74 water and infrastructure projects in 40 states. In Utah, Wellington City is receiving a $2,575,000 loan and $925,000 grant to construct a new water treatment facility and two new storage tanks. The funding is being provided through USDA Rural Development's Water and Environmental Program. View here the list of projects that will receive USDA funding, contingent upon the recipient meeting the terms of the funding agreement.
Vilsack noted that passage of a comprehensive Food, Farm and Jobs bill would help tackle the $2.1 billion backlog of shovel-ready, rural water/wastewater projects, and said the bill is vital to rural communities. These are some of the reasons why Congress should pass a comprehensive bill as soon as possible, he said.
President Obama's plan for rural America has brought about historic investment and resulted in stronger rural communities. Under the President's leadership, these investments in housing, community facilities, businesses and infrastructure have empowered rural America to continue leading the way – strengthening America's economy, small towns and rural communities. USDA's investments in rural communities support the rural way of life that stands as the backbone of our American values.
USDA is an equal opportunity provider and employer.

When a person has AIDS, he or she not only has to deal with health issues, they also have to face the judgmental and prejudiced response from the society they live in. From being excluded from social gatherings to being discriminated against at work, the overall social community makes it harder to live with HIV.
This artistic campaign by advertising agency JWT Mexico for the Commission for human rights of Mexico City conveys a wonderful message of tolerance and love. Two little kids play ball with the message, "Somebody lives with HIV. Nobody wants to play with him. Be like nobody."
A successful job interview comes with the line, "Somebody lives with HIV. Nobody wants to hire him. Be like nobody."
And a check up at the doctor's office offers, "Somebody lives with HIV. Nobody feel comfortable treating him. Be like nobody."

Hormonal Vulnerability and the Spa Professional
By: Geoffrey Redmond, MD
Posted: June 24, 2008, from the February 2006 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
page 2 of 4
Physical well-being. Hormone shifts can cause migraines, cramps, muscle and joint aches, loss of energy and overall body discomfort.
Emotions. Many women notice that their emotions get out of control in the days before the start of their period. They may cry often or become increasingly angry at those they love most. This loss of control is distressing enough when it lasts only a day or two. But, for some, these mood swings may persist for much longer.
Sexuality. Everyone knows that hormones make sex possible. Unfortunately, they also can make it impossible for some. Without adequate estrogen, vaginal penetration can be painful. For some women, testosterone also is necessary to achieve sexual thoughts and physical pleasure.
The medical community
Hormonal vulnerability is not considered often by the medical community. Although things have improved, there is still a tendency for doctors to ignore complaints for which they cannot find a physical diagnosis, especially with female patients. All too often, a woman consults a physician and, after a few tests, is told, "All your results are normal; there's nothing wrong with you." Even though many doctors never have heard of the term "hormonal vulnerability," women know immediately what it means because they have experienced these disruptions in their own lives.
For a woman who suffers from mood swings, adult acne or any other related symptoms, it is frustrating to seek help, only to have her complaints dismissed. One result is that women are looking for assistance outside the conventional health care system. Many of the services provided by spas fit into this category. The personal care and beauty industries do not minimize women's concerns as trivial. Instead, they have developed nonmedical remedies that play an important role in soothing the effects of wayward hormones.

I am going to remodel my kitchen and have come to the sad conclusion that I cannot fit wall ovens and a cooktop in the space so I am shopping for a dual fuel range. I have the requirements that the material under the grates should be stainless steel and that I need one burner that has high btu output for wok cooking. HELP!!! The ranges all seem to have the black porcelain under the grates. It is so hard to clean baked on drips off it. Please chime in with your opinions GW members. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Do you have a price range or budget? That could really help narrow the choices and suggestions. |
What is in your kitchen now, a range? Also, you may want to do some research on cleaning stainless steel, seems like I've seen a ton of complaints about keeping that clean on cook tops and ranges. Gary |
I don't have a budget. So far any of the ranges that I have looked at - all have black porcelain under the grates. I have had stainless steel cooktops in the past and they clean up far better than black porcelain. The porcelain scratches and develops funky dull spots that a cleaner can't remove. Right now the only slide in dual fuel range with the stainless that I can find is the GE Cafe. Any comments on that brand? |
Sure. Do a search. The GE Cafe stoves have a mostly positive following here, I looked pretty hard at one last fall and wrote a long post comparing the Cafe DF and the NXR all-gas in response to a specific question, but that may not be the kind of discussion you are looking for. But there are plenty of other threads If you have truble getting the search box at the bottom of the page to work, try going out to Google and start with "GE CAFE DF + Gardenweb" as your search string. |
Here is a link that might be useful: A thread on Cafe stoves.
GE Cafe is actually a free-standing range not a slide-in. Are you limitied to a slide-in? Also, why are you limiting yourself to dual fuel - they're more expensive than gas ranges. You might have better luck if you broaden your search. I have a DCS all-gas range - the stainless steel on the cooktop cleans up easily. DCS also makes dual fuel ranges. fyi - pro-style ranges have their controls on the front like slide-ins, if that's an issue for you. Look at DCS, Wolf, Capital and Bluestar. |
GE Café Dual Fuel 30" is ~$2,900 American Range Performer Series 30" is ~$3,300 The GE Café is ok but the ARPS is much much better. |
Have you considered a bluestar. The burners are the best. And the top is black cast iron which is actually very easy to clean. It just gets a shiny patina over time, just like a cast iron pan. |
Promo pricing on Blue Star 30" RCS is $3k through June. Blue Star does not offer any dual fuel models, so it is out of the running if daratwist's heart is set on a dual fuel. So, daratwist, so you really need true slide-in or are you just looking for a stove without a thick vent/riser/backsplash at the back? A "slide-in" has a range top that extends out the sides a bit (often about 3/4 inch) which provides a lip that covers the gap between the countertop and the sides of the stove. As Weissman says, the Cafe DF is a freestanding stove with no vent-riser/backsplash. It will not cover the gap between counter and stove, if that is what you are looking for. You can buy a thin riser/vent add-on for the back, which makes it like the pro-style stoves others have been suggesting. The riser also helps keep stuff from rolling off the stovetop and going behind the stove. Many of the pro-style stoves come with a thin, short riser for that reason, although they can be converted to what is called "island trim" if you want to no riser. For actual slide ins, I think Electrolux Wavetouch dual fuels slide-ins are the only ones that have stainless tops (though with black porcelain coated grates and burner caps). They run about $2700. For pro-style stoves, none of them are slide-ins but most offer side trim piece add-ins as extra-cost options that allow you to make them function like a slide-in. The suggested American Range Performer stove at $3300 is an all gas unit. For dual fuel, with stainless tops, you'll pay about $6900 for the dual fuel AR Performer and about $5000 for the dual fuel Medallion model. DCS has a pro-style 30" DF for about $4500 which has a stainless top. There are some Italian brands, like Bertazonni, Verona and Ilve which, I believe, come with stainless rather than porcelain tops and will run $2600 to $3500. Oh, and by the way, some of those balck-top dual fuel models you've looked at? Not all of those are prorcelain enamel. Some of them apply a glass-ceramic coating. A few years back, this was called "gas on glass." Some people find those coatings even harder to deal with than the porcelain enamel coatings. |

I send you a big thank you for all of the input. You have given me several options to explore. I don't know why I was stuck on duel fuel...... Dara |

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Shares of Rackspace Hosting (RAX - Get Report) were trading lower on Tuesday morning after fourth-quarter revenue came in lower than expected and CEO Lanham Napier announced his surprise departure.
Before market open, the stock had tumbled 11.6% to $35.70.
Must Read: Rackspace Plunges: What Wall Street's Thinking
Must Read: Rackspace Hosting (RAX) Tumbles After Earnings, CEO Departure
TheStreet Ratings team rates RACKSPACE HOSTING INC as a Hold with a ratings score of C. The team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate RACKSPACE HOSTING INC (RAX) a HOLD. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed -- some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and reasonable valuation levels. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including a generally disappointing performance in the stock itself, deteriorating net income and disappointing return on equity."- You can view the full analysis from the report here: RAX Ratings Report

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a fellowship?
A fellowship is a grant or stipend, often called a scholarship, given to support advanced study or research. The award is typically made on the basis of merit, though financial need may be a requirement as well.
What is the difference between the Fellowships Office and the Scholarships Center?
The Fellowships Office assists undergraduates, graduating seniors, and alumni who are interested in applying for nationally competitive scholarships. The Scholarship Center coordinates and administers local, national, and international private donor scholarships, as well as institutional and state scholarship programs for Western students.
What is a "nationally competitive scholarship"?
The term "nationally competitive scholarship" refers to prestigious scholarships that are open to outstanding students at colleges and universities throughout the United States. Many excellent students apply for a relatively small number of awards.
Why should I apply for a fellowship?
In addition to the financial reward, which can be very generous, many fellowships provide unique opportunities for study and/or research. Certain fellowships include internships related to a student's field of study; many offer the opportunity to build a professional network. A number of the most prestigious scholarships enable the recipient to study or conduct research in another country for an extended period of time.
Apart from winning, what are the benefits of applying for a fellowship?
Students who take the process seriously learn a great deal about themselves as well as their goals. Many use this opportunity to research graduate programs and, in the process, identify those that best match both their academic backgrounds and their career goals. Virtually all candidates learn important skills that can be applied to graduate school applications and future grant proposals.
What are the qualifications of a competitive candidate?
The most prestigious scholarships expect a minimum GPA of 3.7 overall. Slightly less competitive fellowships will consider candidates in the mid-3's if the student has a compelling "package": a clear sense of direction, strong recommendations, leadership experience and demonstrated skills, campus and/or community service, and an academic program that has prepared you well for the program to which you are applying. Independent study, internships, study abroad, and language proficiency can also strengthen an application, especially if related to your goals and objectives.
How should I begin?
All of the nationally competitive scholarships have websites that provide information about the scholarship itself as well as the application process. The Fellowships Office website provides descriptions of many of the nationally competitive fellowships and links to their individual websites. If you do not find a match for your interests, investigate options on your own.
Begin by systematically working your way through the scholarship's website. Take notes, write down any questions you might have, run off a copy of the application and the directions for completing it. Once you have done your "homework," contact the Fellowships Office and make an appointment to meet with the Advisor.
What services does the Fellowships Office provide?
The Fellowships Office assists students in a number of ways. The most important services include:
- Assistance in determining whether the student is a viable candidate.
- Assistance in finding scholarships that match the candidate's educational background and career goals.
- Guidance in writing the required essays, including the personal statement and research proposal.
- Assistance in preparing for interviews.
If I am a First Year student, should I meet with the Fellowships Advisor?
Yes, if you are serious about your education. In addition to learning about scholarships available to undergraduates, you can find out how best to build your resume to become a competitive candidate for both undergraduate and graduate scholarships.
If I decide to apply for a fellowship, do I have to meet with the Fellowships Advisor?
Most nationally competitive scholarships require students to register with a fellowships advisor and to work closely with this individual throughout the application process.
Applicants who are applying for scholarships that do not require them to work through the Fellowships Office are welcome to ask for assistance.
Can I apply for more than one fellowship?
Yes, if you meet the criteria for more than one.
Why do some fellowships have two deadlines?
Fellowships that require either a campus evaluation or an institutional endorsement usually have a campus deadline about three weeks before the final deadline. This allows time for a campus interview, if required, and/or completion of the evaluation and/or the endorsement.
The campus deadline allows time to make sure that all the components of the application have been completed and are correct. It also makes it possible to submit the online application early enough to avoid last-minute technical glitches, especially when a system is overloaded with last minute submissions.
I am interested in a specific fellowship, but I am not a very strong candidate. Should I still apply?
Completing an application for a nationally competitive scholarship is a major time commitment. You should, therefore, consider whether this would be a good investment of your time. Before you disqualify yourself, you might want to meet with the Fellowships Advisor to discuss this question.
Can I apply for a fellowship after I have graduated?
Yes. While some scholarships are limited to graduating seniors, several of the most prestigious fellowships are open for a few years beyond graduation. You need to check the individual fellowships for details.
When should I start an application?
Because many of the fellowships for graduate study have deadlines in the early fall, juniors are strongly encouraged to begin work at the beginning of spring quarter. If you are going to be off campus during the summer and/or the fall, you need to get a good start on your application before leaving campus.
If you are interested in applying for a scholarship that has a deadline in January, you should get started during fall quarter.
A strong application typically takes about 40 hours over a period of a couple of months to complete. In addition to writing two or three essays, you may need to spend time researching graduate programs, establishing institutional affiliations in another country, or developing research proposals. The more time you invest in the preliminary research, think about how the fellowship will enable you to achieve your goals, consider what you can contribute as a result of receiving a major fellowship, and present your ideas in clear, concise prose, the more likely you will be successful.
I have just found a fellowship that I am interested in, but the deadline is soon. Should I still apply?
It depends on whether you need to start from scratch or already have a good sense of what, where, why, and how. Before you do anything, consult the Fellowships Advisor for guidance.
How do I apply?
All nationally competitive scholarship applications are now electronic. You should begin by registering online. Read the directions carefully. Give accurate, clear, and concise answers. Be completely honest. Do not exaggerate. Keep in mind that you may at some point have to answer questions about information you provide on the application.
If the application involves essays – personal statements, research proposals, etc. – you should work on your drafts off-line and upload them only when you are satisfied that they are your very best work. Most programs will accept documents prepared in Word. Check the instructions to make sure that you are using a program that is compatible.
What is a personal statement?
A personal statement is an "intellectual autobiography." In other words, it is an essay in which you describe key turning points in your intellectual growth and how they have shaped your choices, your values, and your goals. Some applications provide specific guidelines for what they expect to find in a personal statement. Read and follow the directions for the specific application very carefully.
See the Guidelines for Writing a Personal Statement, available on this website.
What is a research proposal?
In general terms, a research proposal identifies the subject you wish to study, the questions you plan to ask, the methodology you plan to use, and the significance of your project. You may also need to explain your choice of graduate program and/or the country in which you wish to conduct your research.
The actual content of your proposal will be determined by your discipline. If possible, you should identify someone in your field – typically, your advisor or a professor with whom you have studied - who can guide you in developing your proposal.
Some applications provide specific guidelines for what they expect to find in a research proposal. Read and follow the directions for the specific application very carefully.
See the Guidelines for Writing a Proposal, available on this website.
Whom should I choose to write letters of recommendation?
Letters of recommendation and/or references written by faculty are among the most important elements in the application. The most valuable recommendations contain detailed descriptions of a student's work as well as thoughtful comments about the character, qualities, and values that distinguish the candidate. Therefore, choose faculty who know both you and your work.
With this in mind, take the time to get to know faculty and to let them get to know you: Engage in class discussions. Stop by during office hours to talk about your class, the subject you are studying, your interests, and your goals.
See the Student Guidelines for Letters of Recommendations, available on this website.
How can I assist faculty who have agreed to serve as references for me?
Make an appointment to meet with faculty during their office hours so that you can talk with them about your decision to apply for a fellowship and why you have chosen specific fellowships to apply for. Talk with them about your reasons and your goals. If they agree to write on your behalf:
- Give them a copy of the guidelines provided on the fellowship website.
- Explain how the online process will work.
- Provide a current c.v./resume. (The Fellowships Office can provide a sample of an academic resume.)
- Give them a copy of your essays – the most complete drafts available.
- Be prepared to hand back the work that you have completed in their classes so that they can write in detail about your academic work.
You might also refer your recommenders to the Faculty Guidelines for Letters of Recommendation, available on this website.
What is an institutional endorsement?
The most prestigious scholarships limit the number of candidates a university is allowed to submit. These scholarships also require a letter from a senior administrator – the president, provost, or dean – explaining why the university has selected a particular candidate. The letter is usually written by the fellowships advisor, even though it is signed by the senior administrator.

Do you think WoW should implement something similar or is the authenticator system good on its own?

Tonight's season premiere party for Bravo's "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" is going to be a family affair. Well, make that a Hilton family affair! The latest offshoot of the "Housewives" franchise stars Paris Hilton's aunts Kim Richards and Kyle Richards, and TooFab has learned that the Hiltons will be out in full-force to support their budding reality TV star family members: Paris, her sister Nicky, and their mom Kathy will head to the party tonight at West Hollywood's Trousdale nightclub. "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" premieres Oct. 14.
Erin: 1458 days ago
Seems as though this family has their deamons as well. I thought it was funny how Kim relyed on her neice so much and the fact that she was a child star...who is she? She wasnt that popular. Other child stars of their age group were alot bigger and people in todays generation even know who they are. So Kim you are not that popular my friends
Kim: 1454 days ago
how can you not know who Kim richards is? She was in so much as a kid and then she just disappreared in the early 80's. She was a Disney Kid.
Jeanne: 1454 days ago
Kim was a child star, I remeber her well, not Kyle. My heart goes out to Kim, she seems sincere and at times lost. Taylor needs help, did anyone notice at the reunion she looked at Kyle for support when talking about Kim. Kyle needs to stop puttng her sister down and stopping talking to her friends about Kim. How many times at the reunion did Kim say I love my sister! Get over yourself Kyle. Adrienne is wonderful and Lisa supports Kyle, this too was demonstrated at the reunion. Lisa has a wonderful sense of humor!
Geeg: 1453 days ago
The 80s??? That was like thirty years ago!!! Get over it. This is 2011. What are you doing today?
Sounds as though Kim has been boozing it up and Kyle is getting the blame for trying a little tough love. Whatever Kyle did or didn't say to the other cast members, everyone knows a lush when they see her. That's why that Taylor chick was rude to Kim from jump. She could have been equally rude to Kyle. She wasn't. Why? Think about it people!!!
Things happen for a reason.
Crystal Pope: 1452 days ago
I think Kyle is a "Bitch" you are supposed to love your sibling unconditionally. I watched the show from beginning to end and allshe does is put Kim down. Every family has issues how you deal with them is what makes you great. Taylor has no personality. The best people on that show is Adrienne and Lisa. I truly feel for Kim all she wants is Kyle's love and approval.

This weekend sure felt like Summer and as we head into the unofficial start of Fall it will be feeling a little cooler…briefly. A closed-low is rotating off shore and will be influencing our weather through Thursday, for most areas that just means a few more clouds and breezy winds. Shortwave disturbances will pass over the area through midweek and will bring a chance for light showers, mainly to the coast and Cascades. The strongest winds will be along and east of the Cascades with gusts up to 30 mph, and since it will remain fairly dry it's smart to be fire safe. All areas will also see cooler temperatures into Thursday with highs dropping 5 to 10 degrees below normal on Thursday before a warming trend begins Friday into the weekend.
This low will move inland on Thursday and will bring everyone the chance for showers and isolated thunderstorms. The best chance for thunderstorms for now will be along and east of the Cascades, and we will continue to monitor this storms system and the threat for thunderstorms. The storm threat is short-lived, and so is the cool down as high pressure centered over the Pacific will build in at week's end into the weekend bringing warmer, drier and calmer weather.
Follow me on Facebook to share your weather photos with me! Thanks for logging on and have a great evening!

USA Defeats Cuba
Team USA� 4,� Cuba� 1
Cubs' farmhand Chris Archer pitched an amazing 6 innings for Team USA as they continued their winning ways in the last pool game of the Pan American tournament with a win over Cuba.� Team USA will enter the semi-final round of the tournament with a perfect 9-0 record, while Cuba drops to 7-2.
Archer's 10 strikeouts kept the Cuban batters stymied for 6 innings.� They managed only 2 hits — a double in the 2nd inning, and a single to lead off the top of the 4th.� Archer did not walk any batters, facing just 2 over the minimum.
Team USA had only one hit over the first two innings — a single by DH Brad Eldred (Rockies) to lead off the 2nd inning.�� Eldred reached second base, but was left stranded.� The USA got onto the scoreboard in the 3rd inning.� With one out, SS Brian Barden (Marlins) beat out a grounder to short for an infield single.� CF Mike Trout (Angels) singled up the middle, pushing Barden to second base.� After a pop out, 3B Mike Moustakas (Royals) doubled down the left field line.� Barden scored easily from second base, and Trout raced around from first to score also, giving the USA a 2-0 lead.
The USA threatened again in the 4th, when 1B Eric Hosmer (Royals) led off with a single, but was thrown out at second when he tried to stretch it.� If Hosmer had held at first, he might have been able to score on LF Todd Frazier's (Reds) double.� Frazier was subsequently tagged out at third base when RF Jamie Hoffmann (Dodgers) grounded right to the third baseman.
An error by the Cubans led to two unearned runs for Team USA in the 6th.� Moustakas opened the inning with a walk, and Eldred singled, moving Moustakas to second base.� The Cubans brought in a new pitcher, but that didn't help.� Hosmer reached base on an error by the Cuban first baseman, as Moustakas scored on the error.� Eldred rounded third and headed for the plate, but by that time, the Cubans had the ball back under control, and Eldred was out at the plate.� Hosmer ended up on third base, and moments later, he scored on a wild pitch.� Frazier kept the inning going with a single.� C Erik Kratz reached base on a fielder's choice, though Frazier was out at second base.� Kratz was also forced out at second base on the next play, ending the inning.
Nick Hill (Mariners) relieved Archer to begin the 7th inning.� He gave up a pair of 2-out singles, but got a strikeout to end the 7th inning.� He also struck out the first two batters he faced in the 8th, but then gave up a run on a single and a triple.�� Anthony Carter (White Sox) took over for Hill, and got a fly out to end the 8th.� Carter worked around a double in the 9th inning to keep the Cubans from scoring again.
Pirates' farmhand Chase d'Arnaud did not get into this game.� Kratz went 0-for-3 at the plate, and Eldred was 2-for-4.

Homers Lift Team USA Over Canada
Team USA� 4,� Canada� 0
Team USA made quick work of Team Canada this afternoon in San Juan, Puerto Rico, extending their record to 8-0 in the Pan American Tournament.� Canada's record falls to 4-4 in the second round, and they will not be advancing to the final rounds.
Team USA scored their runs one at a time, beginning right away in the top of the 1st.� For the second day in a row, CF Mike Trout (Angels) started the game with a home run, this one a huge blast over the left field wall.� Two singles followed, but both runners were out on the basepaths:� C Jordan Pacheco (Rockies) tried to stretch his single into a double and was thrown out at second base.� 3B Mike Moustakas also singled, but when former Pirate DH Brad Eldred lined out to the third baseman, Moustakas was doubled off first base.�
In the 2nd inning, 2B Cord Phelps (Cleveland Indians) started a 2-out rally with his single into left field.� LF Brian Barden (Marlins)�drove in Phelps with a double into right field, and the USA was up, 2-0.
USA starter Mike Montgomery (Royals) pitched 5 innings, and he began his afternoon by retiring the first eight batters he faced.� He gave up a walk to SS Jonathan Malo and a single to 2B Pete Orr, but left them on base with an inning-ending strikeout.� Canada's biggest�threat of the game came�in the 4th inning, when former Pirate farmhand RF Jamie Romak led off with a single into left field.� DH Jimmy Van Ostrand tapped one back to the mound (it may have been a bunt), but Montgomery was quick enough to field the ball and whirl to throw to second base, forcing out Romak and leaving Van Ostrand at first.� After a strikeout, Montgomery�gave up a single to�3B Shawn Bowman, then loaded the bases with a walk to 1B Scott Thorman.� A strikeout�by C Cole Armstrong got Montgomery out of the jam, and Canada was still scoreless.
Montgomery retired the side in order again in the 5th, and he left the game having allowed 3 hits and 2 walks, with 8 strikeouts in his 5 scoreless innings.
Team USA added another run in the top of the 6th.� With one out, Mike Moustakas ripped a double down the right field line.� Moments later, 1B Eric Hosmer (Royals) drove Moustakas in with his own double into left field, picking up an RBI.� Hosmer collected another RBI in the top of the 9th, with a solo home run.
Bryan Henry (Diamondbacks) took the mound in the top of the 6th in relief of Montgomery.� Henry retired all 9 batters he faced in order — two fly outs and a ground out in the 6th, three ground outs in the 7th, and three pop outs in the 8th.
Tim Collins (Royals) relieved Henry for the 9th inning.� He began by striking out Romak, then gave up a single to Van Ostrand and walked LF Adam Loewen.� With two runners on, Canada's final hopes were dashed when Collins got the next two batters to pop out, ending the game.�
Romak went 1-for-4 in the game.� Brad Eldred was hitless in 4 trips to the plate, and SS Chase d'Arnaud was hitless in his 3 at-bats.� Mike Moustakas led Team USA with 3 hits (he also singled in the 3rd but was left on base). Mike Trout had�2 hits (he singled in the 8th, but was out in a double play), and Eric Hosmer also had 2 hits and 2 RBI.
Team USA's final second round game will be on Monday, as they face Cuba.�
Team USA is the only undefeated team in the tournament, since Cuba lost to the Dominican Republic (9-6) on Saturday night.� Puerto Rico beat Nicaragua 5-1 on Saturday, and former Pirate Ramon Vasquez had both a single and a double in that game.�
Team USA Defeats Venezuela In 12
Team USA� 6,� Venezuela� 3
Team USA had to wait out another rain delay, then play another extra-inning game, to earn the win over Venezuela this afternoon.� The victory gives USA a 7-0 record in the Pan-American tournament.
CF Mike Trout (Angels) got the game started with a bang — a solo home run over the center field wall for a 1-0 lead.� After an out, the next three batters walked — 3B Mike Moustakas (Royals), DH Brad Eldred (Rockies) on 4 pitches, and 1B Eric Hosmer (Royals) on 4 pitches.� But the USA could not capitalize on the gifts, and the next two batters struck out to end the inning.
Venezuela tied the score in the bottom of the 2nd, on a double and a single off USA starter Everett Teaford (Royals).� They took a 2-1 lead in the 3rd.� Teaford gave up a single and a walk, and a sacrifice bunt moved�both runners into scoring position.� Another walk loaded the bases with one out.� The next batter scorched a line drive into right field, and it might have cleared the bases — but RF Todd Frazier (Reds) made a spectacular full-layout diving catch for the out.� The runner on third was able to tag up and score, but it was one run and not three runs.�
Team USA came right back to tie the score at 2-2 in the top of the 4th.� Frazier was hit by a pitch, then scored on 2B Cord Phelps' (Cleveland Indians) triple.� SS Chase d'Arnaud walked and stole second base after the triple, but both he and Phelps were left on base.�
After that, there were a lot of donuts.� Teaford pitched 4 innings (and eventually got a no-decision), allowing those 2 runs on 5 hits and 2 walks, with 3 strikeouts.� Andre Lamontagne (Brewers) pitched 3 shutout innings, allowing just 2 hits with 4 strikeouts.� Anthony Carter (White Sox) pitched a 1-2-3 inning,� then Bruce Billings (Rockies) added another 2 scoreless innings, with a double and 4 strikeouts.� Nick Hill (Mariners) came on to pitch the bottom of the 11th, and he also retired the side in order.
The USA bats were not having any better luck.� With two outs in the 6th, both Brian Barden (Marlins) and Chase d'Arnaud singled, but the Venezuelans brought in a new pitcher, who got a strikeout to end the threat.� Brad Eldred walked for the third time in the 7th (he had walked and stole second base in the 3rd), and Barden singled again in the 8th, but both were left stranded.� As the game went into extras, both teams went down in order in the 10th.� Phelps led off the top of the 11th with a single, and advanced to second base on an error by the right fielder.� Barden bunted Phelps to third base, but he was left standing there when d'Arnaud popped out to short and Trout struck out.�
The top of the 12th brought on the extra-inning tie-breaker rule that is used in international play.� Barden was "placed on first" and d'Arnaud was "placed on second", and Trout was up to bat.� Trout put down a grounder, but the base runners were speedy, and everyone was safe on a fielder's choice play.� C Jordan Pacheco (Rockies) ripped a double into left field, and both Barden and�d'Arnaud�came in to score (both "unearned").� Moustakas walked to load the bases.�� Eldred flied out, but it was too short for tagging up from third.� Then Hosmer grounded right to first for the second out of the inning.� The Venezuelan first baseman thought that he could also get Trout out at the plate, but his throw went well wide of his catcher.� Trout scored easily, and Pacheco raced around from second to score as well, and the USA�had a 6-2 lead.� Frazier was hit by a pitch for the second time, and he stole second base, but Phelps flied out to end the inning.
Venezuela was not done, though.� With Hill still on the mound, Venezuela also had two runners "placed" on first and second.� Hill hit the batter to load the bases.� He was relieved by Justin De Fratus (Phillies), who got a grounder to second base for a fielder's choice, allowing the runner from third to score.� But De Fratus got a pop out and another ground out to end the game and earn the save.� Hill was credited with the win.�
Team USA and Team Canada are scheduled to meet on Sunday at 2 pm (barring another rain issue, of course).
Canada� 9,� Panama� 5
Team Canada fended off elimination for at least one more day with a win today over Panama.� The Canadians exploded to score 8 runs in the 3rd inning.� Adam Stern smacked a double with the bases loaded, and he scored on�a 2-run homer by Jamie Romak.� (It was Romak's fourth homer of the tournament, and second in two days.)� Moments later, another homer by Shawn Bowman drove in 3 more runs.� Adam Loewen added a solo home run in the 5th.�
Phillippe Aumont pitched 5 scoreless innings in his start for Canada, and he earned the win.� Tom Boleska followed Aumont with�one scoreless inning of relief.� Panama scored 4 runs in the 8th inning, including a 2-run homer, and scored one more in the 9th, but the Canadians held on for the win.�
Redmond Leads Team USA To Victory
Team USA� 5,� Nicaragua� 0
Starter Todd Redmond pitched 7 shutout innings this afternoon to lead Team USA to victory over�Nicaragua in their first game of the second round of the Pan American Tournament.� Due to persistent rain in Puerto Rico, the location of the game was moved from Ponce to Carolina, then the time of the game was moved up to 4 pm.� The team barely had time to get dressed and stretch, and it was time to play.
Redmond started the game by getting into a jam in the top of the 1st.� He gave up a single to the lead-off hitter, then got two outs, then loaded the bases with a walk and a hit batter. But Redmond got out of the jam with a strikeout, and he sailed after that.� He gave up a single with two outs in the 2nd inning, but a base running blunder (don't round first base and then try to locate the ball)� let 1b Eric Hosmer tag the runner out to end the inning.� Two Nicaraguan coaches were ejected after arguing the play.� Redmond gave up two more singles — one in the 4th, leaving the runner stranded, and one in the 7th, who he erased with a double play.� He struck out a total of 6 batters in his 7 innings.�
Team USA got the bats going in the bottom of the�1st.� With one out, 2B Cord Phelps (Cleveland Indians) doubled, then 3B Mike Moustakas (Royals) walked.� When the Nicaraguan pitcher made a pick-off throw to first but forgot to make sure his first baseman was there to catch the ball, Phelps raced around to score on the error.� Moustakas ended up on third base, and a sacrifice fly by DH Brad Eldred brought him across the plate, to give Team USA a 2-0 lead.�
The bats were quiet in the 2nd inning, and SS Chase d'Arnaud walked and stole second base in the 3rd, but was left stranded.� Team USA added a run in the 4th inning.� Hosmer singled, then advanced to second base on a fly out by LF Todd Frazier (Reds).� C Erik Kratz's RBI single plated Hosmer, and the Americans were up 3-0.�
The next 9 USA batters went down in order, until the bottom of the 8th.� D'Arnaud led off that inning with another walk, and moved to second base on a wild pitch.� A fly out by CF Mike Trout (Angels) pushed d'Arnaud to third base, then he scored on an RBI single by Phelps.� Eldred reached base on an error, then an RBI single by Hosmer brought Phelps in with the USA's 5th run.�
Tim Collins (Royals) pitched the 8th inning, working around a lead-off single.� Justin De Fratus (Phillies) took the 9th.� He gave up a 2-out single, then ended the game with a strikeout.�
�The win guarantees that Team USA will finish at least in the top 7 of this tournament, which gives them an automatic spot in the 2011 Pan Am tournament.
Also playing:
Dominican Republic� 5,�� Canada� 2
The Canadians also got a change in venue (from Ponce to San Juan) and an earlier start time due to the rain.� The Dominicans got started in the bottom of the 1st inning with a run on a bunt single, a walk, and a sacrifice fly.� They picked up two more runs in the 3rd, courtesy of a triple, a single, and a double.� Canada got one run back in the top of the 4th,�on a single by Pete Orr, followed by a single that bounced off the first base umpire and a throwing error by the first baseman, allowing Orr to score.� Former Pirate farmhand Jamie Romak added another run for Canada with a solo home run in the 8th.� But the Dominican team scored one run in the 4th and another in the 8th, to easily take the win.�
Canada is now in a tight spot — they must win their game against Panama on Saturday in order to advance to the semi-finals.
Team USA Advances To Round Two
Team USA� 10,� Panama� 2
Team USA finished their first round play in the Pan American tournament with a victory over Panama, to give them a 5-0 record.
Playing at Roberto Clemente Stadium in Carolina, Puerto Rico, the Americans jumped out to a great start, batting around in the top of the 1st, bringing in 4 runs.� SS Chase d'Arnaud, 1B Eric Hosmer (Royals) and Todd Frazier (Reds) each contributed an RBI.� Mike Trout (Royals) led off the top of the 4th with a solo home run, bringing the score to 5-0.
Danny Duffy (Royals) made the start for Team USA.� He gave up a walk to the first batter he faced, then sailed through the rest of the first three innings.� Panama scored one run off Duffy in the bottom of the frame on two doubles.� They threatened again in the 5th, but Duffy got out of the jam without any more runs scoring.
Chase d'Arnaud got Team USA going again in the 6th with a triple, and Trout's single brought d'Arnaud across the plate.� Trout stole second base, then Pacheco was hit by a pitch.� That brought up Brad Eldred (Rockies) who pushed the score to 9-1 with his 3-run homer over the left field wall.
Bryan Henry (Diamondbacks) relieved Duffy to begin the 6th inning.� He gave up one run after a lead-off triple for Panama's second run of the game.� In the 7th, Henry got into a jam, but a timely double play ended the inning without a run scoring.
D'Arnaud and Trout combined to give Team USA one more run in the 9th.� With one out, d'Arnaud doubled, then moved to third base on a throwing error.� Trout's second RBI single of the game plated d'Arnaud with the USA's 10th run.
Team USA now moves on to Round Two, after a day off on Thursday.� Both Team USA and the Cuban team (in Group B) finished Round One with 5-0 records.� So far, three teams have been eliminated:� Colombia, Aruba, and the Netherlands Antilles.
Also today:
Canada 10,� Netherlands Antilles� 1 –� The Canadians ran over the Netherlands' Antilles team, holding them to just 4 hits and one run.� That one run came in the 7th inning on a walk, a double, and an RBI ground out.� Scott Diamond made the start for Canada and pitched 4 innings, allowing one hit and striking out 5 batters.� Five more pitchers got in one inning each, including former Pirate farmhand Dave Davidson. Davidson pitched the top of the 9th, and gave up one hit and a walk, but did not let a run score.�� Meanwhile, the Canadian batters were having their way with the Netherland Antilles' pitchers, putting up 12 hits.� The scoring started with CF Adam Stern's 3-run homer in the 2nd inning.� In the 3rd, they added another 3 runs with an RBI double by LF Adam Loewen, and an RBI ground out by Stern.� RF Jamie Romak added another home run, plus a single, accounting for 2 more RBI.
Team Canada will have Thursday off, then begin second round play on Friday, though their opponent has yet to be determined.

Hi everyone! I'm new to the forums here and fairly new to pepper growing. I have 2 out of my 4 Trinidad Scorpion plants starting to turn on me and I can't determine the cause. One is in a 1 gallon pot and the other is an in-ground plant. Initially, I thought the cause was disease, however these two problematic plants were in a small greenhouse in contact with 2 other larger potted plants (one was another Trinidad Scorpion, the other was a Bhut Jolokia). They were together for about 2 months but neither of the other 2 have shown any similar symptoms whatsoever! I even recently removed the problematic plants outside the greenhouse and next to one of my Habaneros...that hasn't shown any symptoms either. I had been fertilizing with a 15-30-15 fert (same strength) once a week on all my plants. Could it just be fertilizer burn or the fert. locking up another nutrient in the plants? Could it be a sign of overwatering? ...The two plants did stay pretty damp in the greenhouse, but after checking the roots they are perfectly healthy...no discoloration or smell. Haven't seen any bugs on these two either...I did have an aphid infestation on my larger potted plants when they were all together in my greenhouse, but there were never any bugs on the two problematic plants. Help is greatly appreciated!! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Photos of the plants
Follow-Up Postings:
My first recommendation is to stop watering them and to stop feeding them. Peppers need to dry out between waterings, and just because the main roots look relatively healthy doesn't mean the feeder tendrils you can't easily see are healthy. If you're keeping the soil moist 24/7 you're doing more harm than good. Also, they don't need constant feeding. You are probably building up to much fertilizer in the soil unless you are thoroughly flushing the soil out every time you do it. If you are going to fertilize, go with half of the recommended amount for containers, and do it every third or fourth watering (which you should only be watering once every 1-2 weeks, so only giving it a mild feeding every month or so). |

Your photos are not good enough to know for sure, but you might look up Pepper Mild Mottle Virus and see if the symptoms appear to be the same. DarJones |

That fertilizer is inappropriate for plants. Plants never use that much P (middle number). So it could very well be a salt issue. Josh |
Thanks for the help all! I had the hunch it was more likely a moisture/fertilizer problem, but each of my plants somewhat resembled the symptoms of disease, and upon inspecting a few of my other nearby plants I could see faint signs of chlorosis on the leaves (these haven't been fertilized in weeks and have just the right amt of moisture). So rather than risk a possible disease in my plants/soil for next season, I figured better to be safe than sorry. I took out all suspicious plants and will be treating the soil for the next couple months just to be safe. Thanks once again! |

5 Celebs Who Would Break The Internet If They Tweeted
First Real Tweet: "Bow down! -B"Why The Internet Would Break: Hello, Beyoncé barely speaks to us humans. Remember when Def Jam was operating Rihanna's account before the poom-poom patter went rogue? Once Rih grabbed the reins, she reigned as the queen of inappropriate tweets. The verified @Beyonce account, which boasts nearly 11 million followers, frequently updates the BeyHive with breaking news and music videos. Beyoncé (we think) tweeted about her new site. But if Bey ever said real things, via a Q&A session like her husband, or went on a rant about why her album isn't out yet, the BeyHive would burst.

WASHINGTON — Thousands of pieces of security equipment that cost taxpayers an estimated $184 million and were supposed to be installed at airport checkpoints to screen passengers are collecting dust in government warehouses, a joint congressional panel reported Wednesday.
"Airport Insecurity: TSA's Failure to Cost-Effectively Procure, Deploy and Warehouse its Screening Technologies" details how 85 percent of about 5,700 security units is warehoused at a Transportation Security Administration facility in Dallas. Annual storage costs at the Transportation Logistics Center, the report noted, top $3.5 million annually.
The investigative report was produced by the Republican staff of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, chaired By Rep. Darrell Issa of California, and the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, headed by Rep. John Mica of Florida.
"TSA continues to demonstrate its penchant for bungling aviation security and wasting taxpayers' money," Mica said at a hearing on the report Wednesday. "The CIA uncovered terrorists' latest modified underwear bomb plot, but TSA has repeatedly failed to effectively procure and deploy screening equipment that actually detects threats, and incredible amounts of its state-of-the-art technology is gathering dust in Texas warehouses. Significant reform is necessary to transform this bloated and inefficient bureaucracy into the effective security agency it needs to be."
"Money spent on equipment sitting in a warehouse in excess is money not spent on the front lines," said Issa. "This is not a security operation, but rather a recipe for waste and abuse."
According to the committee's report, as of Feb. 15, 2012:
- About 85 percent of the approximately 5,700 pieces of security equipment was stored for longer than six months; 35 percent had been stored for more than one year. One piece of equipment had been in storage more than six years.
- There were 472 carry-on baggage screening machines in the warehouse, 34 percent of which had been stored for longer than a year.
- The committee estimated the delayed deployment of TSA equipment "has resulted in a massive depreciated loss of equipment utility at an estimated cost to taxpayers of nearly $23 million."
- TSA had 1,462 explosive-trace detectors worth nearly $44 million in storage, far more than it could use in the 463 airports where TSA provides screening operations. When asked why the agency bought so many, agency officials said they needed that many in order to get a discount.
The 22-page committee report said the TSA "intentionally delayed Congressional oversight of the Transportation Logistics Center (TLC) and provided inaccurate, incomplete, and potentially misleading information to Congress in order to conceal the agency's continued mismanagement of warehouse operations." It said the TLC tried to hide roughly 1,300 pieces of screening equipment from congressional investigators and provided staffers with a list of disposed items "that falsely identified disposal dates and directly contradicted the inventory of equipment" in a report to committee staff.
The committee made a series of recommendations to TSA aimed at ensuring equipment is actually needed before it is purchased.
A call requesting comment from the TSA was not immediately returned.
In prepared testimony to the joint hearing, TSA Chief Financial Officer David Nicholson, said the agency "must be able to rapidly deploy technology to respond to changing threat information, or to have equipment ready to deploy when airport facilities are changed to accommodate the equipment." He said the need to factor in future need with companies' manufacturing schedules "generally led TSA to procure equipment ahead of deployment so that the equipment is immediately available when the airport is ready."

I'll be flying a few times in the next two weeks. I have a continuing sinus infection and need to know what to do about the pressure changes in the airplane. Once I flew with an infection and thought my head was going to explode. Would a decongestent help? Has anyone used ear plugs? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I had trouble during landing one time, thought my head was going to rupture. It was so bad I couldn't even speak to get my DH's attention. The last couple of times I have worn ear plug, making sure to clear my ears first. They helped alot. I did ask my allergy doctor too. He said to take my decongestant for 5 days before and during the rest of the time I was traveling. I didn't have any problems either time so something worked or maybe a combo of it all. Good luck. You might want to try a nettie pot to clear your sinues too. |
- Posted by michelle_phxaz (My Page) on Mon, Mar 8, 10 at 0:36
You can buy ear pressure plugs, they work great. The kind I use look like a little accordion, you have to press them hard into your ear and the pressure will be diffused by the accordion part. Another flying tip is to coat your nostrils with Neosporin or other antibacterial ointment. This helps kill germs you are breathing in on the plane. I used to catch something every time I flew, this works wonders. |
