I have gotten an estimate from a contractor for doing some work on front porch columns, fixing or replacing window screens, replacing porch screening, replacing a handrail. In the breakdown of his estimate there was a $400 charge for "truck." I asked about that and he said it was to cover his costs of getting to and from the job site, going to get the screens. Is that normal? It seems to me that would be just his general costs of doing business. He indicated it was for two weeks of the truck. I am also puzzled about why fixing the columns and screens and railing would take two weeks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Since fuel prices have risen---and the economy has dived, businesses have had to do several things to keep/get business. Lower prices for work and add extra charges(handling, carrying charges, fuel surcharges, etc.) to make up the difference. Best advice is to keep track of the time he actually takes. Divide that $400 by 10 working days. Pay him only the amount of days worked. |

Transportation IS a cost of doing business and your contractor is simply itemizing it. I suppose he could have added a per diem for, say, insurance as well. I'd be less worried about how he arrived at the total and be more concerned with what he proposes to do and how that price compares to other estimates you have received. |
It's an odd way to account for overhead/profit. Especially listing only one item. The usual way is to figure the cost of the job and just add a percentage to that. Since I haven't seen the job or the estimate, I can't say if this is a just accounting or another a way to get more money. Get other estimates and compare costs that way. Ron |

I agree with Mike K, it's simply an itemization of a cost of doing business, apparently so the customer can appreciate it more. Frankly, I wouldn't care if he had a "get out of bed in the morning" charge as long as the overall price was right and I had confidence in his work. I would focus my attention on what he says he will be doing, and perhaps how, and what materials he will use, and prior customers opinions of his work and methods. I think he probably decided to break out the truck do to all the publicity of higher gas prices, perhaps hoping customers would think "oh yeah, that's gotta be expensive, all that driving around". |
So many people think that work starts when they arrive and stops as they leave the job, while it points out there is more to doing business, with the recent spike in energy costs and insurance, many have chosen to add a surcharge to assist versus change labor rate. |

Frankly, I wouldn't care if he had a "get out of bed in the morning" charge as long as the overall price was right and I had confidence in his work. I like that one. Off to redo pricing schedule... :-) It seems away to "explain" his costs in a way that makes sense to a people. They key point is what he's charging, what you're getting, and in the end if you think that's fair. |

When it comes to buying a Radeon 9800 XT graphics card, there is little to no difference in performance from one card to the next. The things you need to pay special attention to is the included packages and warranty and support from the manufacturer you are choosing. The ABIT 9800 XT is nothing very special but on the same token, it doesn't really need to be.
ABIT provided us with a graphics card which worked as expected and didn't cause us any problems with stability. The package includes all the cables we need to make full use of the card as well as a voucher to download the full version of Half Life 2 when it is released by Valve.
Then we come to the 9600 XT VIO from ABIT. When we first started testing we didn't think too much of this card since the clock speeds were clocked a little under standard. At first it didn't shine. Then, as you just saw, the overclockability of the core showed class reaching around 40MHz higher on the core than the Power Color Bravo. If only ABIT decided to use the 50MHz quicker Samsung BGA memory that Power Color use, ABIT would have had a complete winner on their hands for the enthusiast folks in the market - especially if we saw the relative success of overclocking the memory, as the core. Maybe in future revisions we might (hopefully) see ABIT choose to go with the higher MHz rated G-DDR memory from Samsung. Do keep in mind though that the ABIT 9600 XT does have 128MB more memory than the Power Color Bravo but as we saw, it didn't seem to provide any extra performance. Maybe ABIT would have been better off including only 128MB and faster and more expensive memory chips.
Like the package of the ABIT 9800 XT, the package of the 9600 XT VIO from ABIT is fairly slim but being a VIVO card it does include all the necessary AV cables for outputting your computer display to a TV and so on. The ABIT 9600 XT does look quite attractive when in action with its blue LED emitting light from the fan and does provide good performance when overclocked.
We have no problems recommending either ABIT 9800 XT or 9600 XT to you. Before you choose a graphics card make sure you do your research first and work out which will be most affordable and the best value for your money. You may be best holding off a few weeks before buying a 9800 XT or 9600 XT as next generation ATI and nVidia cards are just about ready to hit the market place.
- Pros
VIVO on 9600 XT
Impressive core overclock on 9600 XT
Blue LED glow on 9600 XT, stylish looking card
Good performance
- Cons
Small package, no games included
9800 XT retails quite a bit higher than others
Faster memory could have been used on 9600 XT
Combined Rating - 8.5 out of 10

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Thu 10/11/2011 - 11:34Patrick Dewael, the Flemish liberal floor leader in
the Chamber of Representatives, has said that his Open VLD party should
also be represented in the Flemish Government. Mr Dewael's liberals are
among the six parties currently involved in the talks on the formation of
a new Federal Government, but in the Flemish Parliament they sit on the
opposition benches.
The Limburg politician insists that this is the only way in which
root-and-branch reform can be introduced and Belgium's public finances can
be made sound. Mr Dewael says that Belgium's current form of federalism
more closely resembles a fight.
"As things stand, we won't succeed. The Flemish Government prefers to
spend the cash itself than to make an extra effort to make Belgium's
public finances sound. It's as if Flemings are not Belgians!"
"This is why I'm calling for the parties that form the Federal Government
also to be represented in the regional governments. We can only press
through all these reforms and make our public finances sound if all noses
are pointing in the same direction."
"There is room for us. There are nine Flemish ministers. By law this can
rise to eleven. It's completely justified."
Mr Dewael did not mention the fact that the Flemish nationalist N-VA that
is a Flemish Government party is no longer involved in the federal talks.
The Flemish Prime Minister, Kris Peeters (Christian democrat), is not
minded to respond favourably to Mr Dewael's request: "I can understand
Open VLD's request, but in 2009 we agreed a coalition agreement for a five
year period and we intend to complete the entire term with the same
government parties."
Mr Peeters denies the idea that federalism in Belgium has become more of a
battle than anything else. He insists that the Flemish Government has
drawn up a balanced budget and is making its contribution to the federal
The Flemish nationalist Deputy Premier Geert Bourgeois isn't impressed
either: "I understand that the liberals are in a difficult position. Five
months after the semi-theatrical appeal by the monarch the federal
formation talks have led nowhere. This is a manoeuvre to draw away

Nipomo high school students are stepping up their community involvement to help bring about the Pismo Preserve.
"There aren't many things in this area other than the beah to do for young people, so it'll be a really great opportunity for us to have something to do on the weekends instead of just staying in the house," Jenna Clift, a member of Nipomo High School's Conservation Club.
The club has partnered with the Land Conservancy of San Luis Obispo County to help raise $11.7 million to buy 900 acres in Pismo Beach to turn into public hiking, mountain biking and equestrian trails.
The students say they became involved because conserving the land will help their community.
"It's something that will draw in people from our community and bring in visitors, so that of course generates our local economy," Connor Merrill, VP of the Conservation Club, said.
"It would be so easy for a hotel or something to come in and develop the land and make it private so the public can't get onto it anymore. It would just be tragic to see that beautiful landscape be developed," Clift said.
The Parks and Recreation Commission recommended giving $1.1 million to the project Thursday night. The County Board of Supervisors will have to approve the funds on May 20.
The Land Conservancy is looking to raise the rest of the funds from state agencies, local government as well as the public by July 1 to buy the land. If successful, they hope to open the Pismo Preserve in spring of 2015.
Both Clift and Merrill will be at an open house the Land Conservancy is hosting to help educate the public and train community members to rally the public. It's on Saturday, April 26 from 12:00 to 1:30 p.m. at the Veteran's Hall in Shell Beach.

L.R. Resources Inc. Adana LR8090 Black Rug
Item #: 248LR8090BE-P Add to Wishlist
Features: This product has the following features:
- Collection: Adana
- Brand: L.R. Resources Inc.
- Material: 100% Polypropylene
- Weave: Machine Made
- Styles: Contemporary Rugs
- Origin: Turkey
- Available in the following sizes: 1' 10" x 2' 10", 5' 3" x 7' 5" and 7' 9" x 9' 9"
This is an extremely nice rug for the price. It has a short nap (which is fine for my purposes) but is very soft and comfortable on the feet. The color is ever so slightly more golden than it appears online.....but it matches the carpet it's on even better than I'd hoped. Another plus is that they unroll easily and flatten out....even then tightest end of the roll....quickly and STAY FLAT! If you're putting it on a bare floor I would recommend a gripper for underneath as the smaller one slides a little bit on my carpet. Overall, it's a great purchase. I might even buy another just so I have it when this one wears out.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.This rug (in the blue) is completely different colors than shown in the picture.
RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.I purchased the 2 x 3 rug in blue for my kitchen. I had expected the pattern to be as on the website which I had interpreted as a contemporary wooden plank kind of look. The actual rug pattern and color is very different from the website, the pattern is actually more abstract and less defined. The colors run more toward cream, toffee, espresso and pale turquoise. The polypropylene is soft, of medium density and comfortable to stand on. Overall I am pleased with my purchase of this rug; it surprisingly looks really nice in my kitchen despite the differences in color and pattern.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Fill out the information below.

CU Program Council and Insomniac Events blew the walls of Balch Field House last night with what will hopefully turn into the annual Altitude Music Festival. Boasting an impressive line-up of local and international electronic dance outfits, the workout received by all in attendance at the Folsom Field flanking venue could easily rival that of any collegiate football team.
By the time Gramatik took the stage, the energy was reaching a fever pitch with shrieks and screams of anticipation. Gramatik has hit Denver several times in the past year, including its recent appearance at the Snowball Music Festival. Last night, Boulder was treated to a concoction of downtempo hip-hop beats that reflect Gramatik mastermind Denis Jaravesic's affinity for chill-out tracks.
New tracks were mixed in, and whereas the production is on par with fellow Pretty Lights Music artists, the sounds show the new direction that Jaravesic is taking. There is an obvious contrast in the tracks: Whereas Beatz and Pieces Vol. 1 keeps things so chill that at any moment you are waiting for mellow freestyle to come milling in over the beat, #digitalfreedom shows the wide-range of samples that Jaravesic pulls from, and definitely hits a lot harder than any of his previous stuff, keeping in line with the current obsession with bass-heavy songs. Regardless, the crowd was ecstatic for the entirety of Gramatik's set, and by the look of the venue, most people came for the duo. It slowly filtered out toward the end, leaving roughly half of what it was for the headliner. Britt Chester
Slide show: Altitude Music Festival
MSTRKRFT held the coveted headlining spot for Altitude Music Festival. Following the talents of Zion I and Gramatik, both of whom could easily have headlined this show (and given Gramatik's crowd, probably should have), the Canada-based duo delivered a relatively lackluster set. The music was heavy, production was on point, and the sound flawless, but the energy just wasn't there. Perhaps it was the emptying venue, or maybe MSTRKRFT just wasn't feeling the altitude, but it didn't carry the hype that preceded.
We got the hard and heavy bass lines that seemed nonstop, and heard bits and blips from tracks like "Fist of God" and "Got Love to Kill," but the waning energy really took a toll on the crowd. The front line that swelled the gate looked as though they just got out of marathon sauna session, but the back of the group, which barely reached the soundboard at this point, stood in sway.Britt Chester

Tech Tip 5/31/11 – Driving Traffic to your Groups
In today's world, Social Networking plays an important role in the success and failure of any blog or website. It is as important as the content of your website. More social networking leads to more users/traffic for your website. In this article, I will explain how you can drive the traffic to your website or blog using Groups services from some of the top internet brands e.g. Google, Yahoo! and Facebook. Though there are other sites as well but we will talk about these only in this article.
Yahoo! Groups: If you are a owner of a blog or website and you want to promote it and looking for more user interaction then you can start a new Yahoo! Group related to your website/blog. This group can be used to showcase the things about the topic of your website. E.g. If I own a site called nokia5800downloads.blogspot.com, i can create a Yahoo! group with name Nokia 5800 Downloads. Yahoo! Groups allows you to add new members, post articles, images, attachements, links, etc. You can create polls to interact with your group members. You can even promote your group using the tools provided by Yahoo! Groups.
Just add more and more users to your Yahoo! Group and talk about your blog/website. Yahoo! Groups is a powerful tool and it can drive good amout of traffic to your website. I have seen the groups with thousands of users. You can create a new Yahoo! Group by visiting the URL http://groups.yahoo.com/
Google Groups: Unlike Yahoo! Groups, Google Groups is very simple and offers you pretty much the same as Yahoo! Groups. You can add members, create pages, add links, photos and files. You have discussions where you can post about your website and let users of the group interact with you on the topic of discussion. The interface is very simple and it's very easy for first time users as well.
You can create a Google Group by visiting the URL http://groups.google.com/. You can add a link of your group to your website so that a visitor coming to your website can join the group and later you can keep informing him about any latest updates of your website through this group.
Facebook Groups: After Google and Yahoo!, Facebook too has Facebook Groups, a service which helps you connect and share with the people interested in your website or blog. If you have a Facebook account, creating and running a group is as easy as opening a webpage. Fill the few information like your Group name, the category it belongs to and a little description and there you go. You have your Facebook Groups created. Unlike Yahoo! and Google Groups, Facebook Groups is very advanced. You can add links, images, videos in a second with the cool interface it provides. You can set an event, start a discussion. You can even promote your Facebook Group.
You can invite people to join your group. There are plenty of ways provided in the interface to interact with the members of your group. Facebook Groups is the best offerings in terms of interface and functionalities. As Facebook is growing bigger and bigger, you can expect the number of visitors you can push to your website. You can take more help regarding the group creation by visiting the following page http://www.facebook.com/help/?page=414

In 2006 I was diagnosed with a high grade osteo sarcoma, the same form of bone cancer that took the life of the amazing Terry Fox. My doctors discovered a grapefruit sized tumour surounding my ribs, just a few centimeters from my spine. My medical team acted quick to remove the tumour and half my rib cage before any damage was done to my spine. At the time, I was a newlywed with a nine month old baby at home. Miraculously, just before embarking on my 15 month journey of surgery and chemotherapy, my wife became pregnant with our our second child. (Something I was told would never be able to happen again after the chemotherapy I would receive).
Today I am proud to be in my 6th year of survivorship thanks in no small part to the incredible support of my family and friends. I was also blessed to have the most skilled, caring and compassionate health care team possible.
Today I am dedicated to doing whatever I can to make life better for others living with this horrible disease. To that end, I spend much of my free time working with the following organizations:
LIVESTRONG: Livestrong Leader (Ottawa, Canada)
Canadian Cancer Society: Speaker and presenter

text: $4: An extra hiding spot can never hurt. Just don't put this one where you think someone would like to charge their phone. Looks like an authentic electrical outlet and the actual safe part is 3.75 inches wide, 3 inches high and goes down 8 inches deep into the wall. So two things to consider when buying this, the first being is there enough room behind my wall, another is what do I want to put in there… because it will basically only hold small things that are less than 3 inches.

News release
From CAHO Southampton
06 June 2011
Upcoming fieldwork on the island of Jersey
Preparations are in full swing for a new season of Palaeolithic fieldwork on the island of Jersey. The Quaternary Archaeology and Environments of Jersey (QAEJ) project, which includes several members of CAHO and CAHO alumni, will be back on the island this July. Together with undergraduate students from the universities of Southampton, Manchester and UCL, the QAEJ team will undertake new investigations at several find spots on the island. The main focus of this year's fieldwork campaign will be on the late Upper Palaeolithic (Federmesser) site of Les Varines and the prominent Neanderthal site of La Cotte de St Brelade.
The project aims to come to a more complete understanding of the early prehistoric record of Jersey and does this through a multi-disciplinary approach which includes new fieldwork, geophysical surveys, marine surveys, isotope analyses and archival reassessments.
To find out more about the QAEJ project and CAHO's involvement please visit the QAEJ website or you can follow the QAEJ team on Twitter.

Concerned about an Airbag Defect?
Airbags are critical to the safety of a vehicle's driver and passengers, but defects in these airbag safety systems can create hazardous and potentially life-threatening situations.
When an auto manufacturer is aware of a defect in its vehicle's safety system, it generally has a duty to address and correct that problem. When it fails to disclose a known problem, consumers have important legal rights to hold it accountable. Girard Gibbs LLP represents consumers in car & auto lawsuits involving airbag defects and related safety systems.
If you have a question about one of the cases below or would like to discuss a potential case with one of our auto lawyers, please complete the form to the right or call us toll-free at (866) 981-4800.

"We upgraded this invitation to the luminescent paper, it looks so nice! Got many compliments on how cute/adorable the cards are. Totally recommend this item."
"The cards are beautiful and the delivery was very quick. I requested an additional line and the rep handling the online chat was very helpful."
"Very cute printed on quality cardstock and basic shipping was very timely even with my tight timeframe. There was a slight error but their customer service was top notch in resolving my issue. Will definitely use again!"
"Tiny Print Studios provided exceptional customer service. Their turn around time was faster than expected and the cards were beautifully done."
"This design is absolutely adorable. It was love at first sight when I saw this design, I knew I wanted it for our co-ed baby shower. I got the card with round edges and upgraded it to the shimmer pearl paper. I am so glad I got the shimmer peal paper because it made the card look even more amazing. The designer also was able to add in my request of adding text on the back of the card which was a plus. I received this in the mail quite fast and as promised by the delivery date. I feel the quality and product on Tiny prints definately is better than the other websites I have used in the past for cards."

Prescription Risks + Labeling Concerns = A Diagnosis Disaster
Recents estimates show at least one in three children are wrongly diagnosed with the ADD/ADHD, says a group of senior medical experts from Australia. This goes a long way to demonstrate that the misdiagnosis of ADD/ADHD is a mounting problem.
These researchers indicated that there is no proven evidence of the long-term benefits of typically prescribed medications for ADD/ADHD. With all the possible side effects caused by prescription medication, this truely gives ADD/ADHD suffers, or their parents, something to consider.
In addition to the health dangers imposed on children from needlessly taking medication, being improperly labeled as a child with a "learning disability" can have a detrimental effect on self-esteem and social development, and can even affect other children.
There is also a lack of sufficient diagnosis procedures currently established for general practitioners to follow to properly identify the disorder.
Since schools often place children classified with ADD/ADHD into special classes or programs, an overabundance of students in this category leads to schools competing for proper funding-leading to children who may really require the extra assistance to not receive the help they need.
This is a problem rampant not only abroad but also in the United States, affecting children with not only ADD/ADHD, but also disorders like autism and cerebral palsy-who end up competing for the same grant pool and teaching time.
BrightSpark™ is a 100% homeopathic remedy to temporarily relieve hyperactivity, distractibility and impulsiveness in children.
Learn More About BrightSpark
Further, researchers conclude that ADD/ADHD is too complex a disorder to be flippantly diagnosed in a general practitioner's office by a quick analysis of symptoms. There is no single test that will identify ADD/ADHD, and there are no specific genetic or biological indicators that will lead to a diagnosis.
Instead, it is necessary to consult a doctor who will conduct a comprehensive evaluation which will include extensive examination of past behavior, and should also include a physical exam to rule out any other possible source of the symptoms.
Before concluding that your child might have ADHD and needs expert help, it is important to assess the behavior of your child over a period of time, which should be at least six months and under different situations. And if your child is actually diagnosed, or you would just like to support learning and concentration, there are many natural remedies that can maintain brain health and optimize functioning.

This remedy has been very effective in helping children who presented with difficulties in concentration and appropriate classroom behavior due to a tendency to be impulsive, overly stimulated and restless, often along with irritable mood and a resistance to parental discipline. Many of these children went from being the classroom clown to willingly settling down to complete tasks, while still retaining brightness and creativity - to the great relief of parents and teachers alike!" - Michele Carelse, Clinical Psychologist

Self storage customers in Glasgow demanded that Kangaroo Self Storage find a building and open for business. Now self storage buildings come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Some are completely new whilst many others take an existing building and convert it for self storage.
The team from Kangaroo Self Storage searched for a building in Glasgow to satisfy their demanding customers.
At first glance this site did not look too promising! More jungle than self storage opportunity
But inside was even worse…
On the positive front the site did have excellent visibility onto the busy Shettleston Road. And self storage buildings work best with large volumes of passing traffic. The building's condition also meant that it was attractively priced, always a plus. So savings could be passed onto our customers!
So the decision was made; let's convert this tired, distressed warehouse into a shiny new building offering the best self storage in Glasgow.
The team set to work. Internal walls were torn down, the entrance from Shettleston road was bricked up and 2 new loading bay areas created for easy customer access, whilst providing protection from the elements.
The uneven internal floor was covered in smooth, hard wearing cement. Glasgow's occasional rainfall had penetrated the roof in some places. These holes were repaired.
A huge window was inserted to show self storage units in situ for the entertainment and interest of passing drivers.
A large, spacious reception area was created. Customers like space, it's what they are visiting the centre to see after all.
A spacious car park that could accomodate articulated lorries was created. And the building was reclad to improve its external appearance.
Then the storage units were built inside. Initially only part of the building was fitted out with self storage units. These ranged in sixe from 16 square feet to 500 square feet. As these quickly filled, the demand for the different sized rooms could be gauged a adjustments to the mix made for the future addition of rooms.
And finally, the moment all of Glasgow had been waiting for. Drum roll, the placement of the huge Kangaroo on the side of the building. (That took a few meetings with the local planners!!)
All in all the place was transformed, winning plaudits from local residents and businesses alike.

Grandson received a brand-new-second hand croquet set for Easter, love the enjoyment of hitting the balls around thru the wickets etc., but have no idea, not even remotely, of how to set up the court. I remember playing as a child, have looked up directions, seem much complication for children, and frustrating on top of it. Just a simple game of lawn croquet is what I am seeking, can someone here help me learn again? Would like some calm entertainment for him. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I played croquet when much younger, let me see if I can describe the set up for you The post went in the end of the field then first hoop was set one mallet length away with second hoop set 12'-18' from that from there you went to the side and set third hoop all facing the same way, this was placed out about 15 feet and over the width of your playing field then 4th was placed about middle of your field about same distance apart and 5th back to side again so the two side hoops were evenly spaced from the center and parallel to each other then you go back to the other end of field where you set hoops and pole same as other end then put other two hoops parallel to the ones on one side of field to correspond with the other side. hey this is hard to describe in words, would be much easier to draw a diagram. ha ha Each one takes turn hitting ball through hoops, one turn for each hoop you go through( if you go through both hoops at end you get 2 more turns) game goes back and forth till one person goes through all the hoops and back to post, If you play nice, ha ha , you just continue till you have made it back to hit last post, but if you have a little devil in you, you may choose to hit your opponents ball with your ball, then you put your foot on your ball to keep it from moving and hit your ball with mallot to shoot opponents ball out of the playing field, so he can not beat you to next hoop, of course this may come back to haunt you if they find you in line for them to hit your ball. ha ha Hope this helps , It's been many years since we played, but great for all ages. |

"Made this following the ingredients exactly. WOW what a great coleslaw - I actually think it tastes better than the KFC one. Thank you Sharlene :)"
"I added cubed potatoes to the recipe. We also like sweeter curries so I added a few splashes of Almond Joy Coffee Creamer!! It gave it a nice sweeter coconut flavor. Am thinking of adding some mango in next time :)"
"I am a Brit and this is not 'Authentic' recipe.We don't use tomato paste, egg and other ingredients in this recipe. And it is Cottage Pie as many other posts have said. Other than that this tasted pretty good but I think I will be sticking to my traditional Cottage Pie recipe!"
"Great recipe! I also added half a cup of sunflower seed kernels to the mix and also sprinkled them on top before baking. Gives it a nice nutty taste :)"
"Very easy to make and delicious, I had many comments when I took them to a Christmas Dinner.
I have made them since for home eating!
I don't think I will ever use another cookie recipe :)"

Hello Gardeners! I am moving to zone 9 in Arizona, in about 3 weeks. I know it gets very, very hot there. 120F summers. Is there anything I can plant over the summer? Once we are settled I will do more research and put in my raised beds. I would love to hear about your experiences and what you have success with, I am mainly looking for veggie experiences :) I am origionally from a 3a zone, but I have gardened in zone 6 as well. Thank you! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Okra, melons, eggplant, armenian cucumbers for vegetables if you want a good harvest. |
I'm a bit north of Arizona in las vegas. I came from a colder climate as well. Toucan's suggestions are great for the summer heat but I personally take July and most of August off since I don't really want to garden when it's over 110 degrees. I use the summer heat to solarize my soil in my raised beds to kill weed seeds and most of the unwanted critters that have moved in over the spring. The biggest change moving from a colder climate to the southwest is you can do your best gardening in the winter months. I start cold weather crops in late aug or sept and harvest carrots, lettuce, spinach, peas and other cold weather crops from December to April. I start my summer crops in March and harvest in May/June except for squash which will grow most of the summer as toucan said. I also start seeds indoors over the summer for eggplant, tomatoes and other warm season veggies and plant them out in mid August with some sun protection at first and I get a great fall crop in October. I hope I gave you some insight on your new climate! Experiment and enjoy the longer growing season. |

both links specific to our area: 9 things do well in summer http://cals.arizona.edu/pubs/garden/az1005.pdf Some other things may last through the summer (annuals that behave like perennials for 2-3 years). Shade cloth, misters and straw mulch can help. Microirrigation to water 2-3 times a day on automated timer. Deep beds 12-18" deep or in ground to hold moisture and thermal cool. |

Here is another big tip: Select varieties that grow to maturity within 70 days. The lower the better. 55 days is perfect but not to many of those. You can have plantings 4 times a year in Phoenix area. |

Two usefull links and some great advice, Fascist. I just printed the calander. Thanks for posting them. |

A couple of more tips: The best soil for gardening is likely your own soil. People will tell you how terrible AZ soil is but for the most part it is pretty good. You can either plant it and see or get it tested with recommendations from a lab. You should start a compost pile as well. When a garden annual is spent it comes out and goes either directly into the compost pile or next to it in a drying area (lady bugs and other beneficials often like to make their nests in such debris). Then take a scoop of finished compost and mix into your planting spot before planting your next garden plant. This keeps your garden soil fertile at minimum cost (no fertilizer needed usually). While the pH of the soil is almost certainly going to be too high the only likely problems with your own soil are salinity and lack of organics. A soil test would identify if those problems are present and make recommendations. |

Breakfast Topic: Should Blizzard take away earned titles and rewards? {WoW}
Feb 10th 2011 8:40AM Agreed that this was a really bad idea. This makes the "Exalted" title meaningless, since by this logic you'd have to go re-earn it every expansion. Ya, that's not going to happen. About the dumbest idea I've seen in a while.
Breakfast Topic: What zones have been shattered for the better? {WoW}
Dec 2nd 2010 9:03AM For my alliance toon, the best improvements so far have been WPL and EPL. The Caravan storyline in EPL was amazing, and it totally sucked me in. I got to the end and was totally worried about how it would end, and didn't want it to end the wrong way.

Breakfast Topic: Way better than my first time {WoW}
Jul 10th 2010 9:15AM I also level a lot. I've got 7 lvl 80's myself.
I think the difficulty you're seeing is exactly why Blizzard is remaking old world. Running out of quest hubs and not knowing where to quest next is a problem that was pretty much eliminated by TBC and LK. Come Cataclysm we should see that better design come to old world, and I'm looking forward to leveling my last 3 character slots in that world.
Totem Talk: Elemental 101, Part 3 {WoW}
Jan 27th 2010 9:27AM Nice guide, great job. One comment in regards to leveling, I agree trying to level as elemental is painful in old world, but I really found it quite easy when I got to outland. I juggled around between enhancement and resto and elemental pre-58 and there just wasn't enough gear to make anything but enhancement worth playing. Thankfully that changes pretty quick when you get the HFP.
Breakfast Topic: What dungeon have you had to relearn? {WoW}
Dec 21st 2009 9:57AM I never minded OK. Kinda enjoyed it. Of course I usually play a healer or a mail-wearing shaman, so the insanity phase is pretty easy. Just keep myself alive or lava burst 1-shot my teammates with an evil cackle.
Occulus is still a major pain. And no one want to run it. I was in a run where the tank left partway in. We then waited as FIVE tanks joined, saw it was Occ and then dropped. I don't know what Blizzard can do to make this instance any easier though. Times I've run it since patch it's complete cake if you know what the gimmicks are.
In regards to the tank/healer shortage. I'm seeing it on tanks for sure. When I pull out my DK he's in a random instantly. My healer used to be that way, but now I get a 30-60 second wait most of the time. I think people are pulling out their heal specs and gearing those up because they know it gets them into an instance faster. Tanks however don't seem to be more plentiful yet.
Of course, that goes to the whole question of what can Blizzard do to make tanking more attractive. It's a thankless task, difficult and full of frustration. You need an abundance of patience, and a small dash of "crazy" to want to tank all the time.
Farewell and thank you, WoW.com {WoW}
Dec 18th 2009 3:21PM Best of luck to you going forward and thank you for all the hard work you've put in over the years!
More dungeon finder tips {WoW}
Dec 14th 2009 9:31AM Something I couldn't figure out yesterday.... I wanted to chain run 'normal' Forge of Souls for the tanking mace. However, I couldn't find anyway to reset the dungeon without first queuing up and running a different dungeon. Even when I was standing right outside the instance portal, the "Reset Dungeon" option was grayed out. So I guess I need to assume that you need to totally break group to reset a normal dungeon? Anyone else have insight on this?

LOS ANGELES — Ariya Crook made two free throws with 0.8 seconds left as USC earned a dramatic 61-59 victory over Washington State at Galen Center on Sunday.

Last week, our new dude dating columnist Dater XY wrote a provocative piece about how his best friend is a woman and some ladies he meets online dating can't handle that. With a few exceptions, commenters on that piece agreed Dater XY is shit outta luck. "I don't see a way out of this. I think that pretty much every girl, no matter how secure she is, will have in the back of her mind, 'I wonder what they're REALLY doing,'" wrote one commenter. "It's a red flag," added another.

New Jersey Property Tax Benefits
The New Jersey Property Tax Exemption and Deduction require veterans to serve during a specific war time period. See the New Jersey War Dates page.
NOTE: For New Jersey Property Tax Exemption and Deduction, Haiti service is not included as a war time period.
The dwelling house is the veteran's primary legal residence.
The veteran or surviving spouse must own and occupy the house.
If the house is a multiple family building, the exemption is only granted for the portion actually occupied by the veteran or surviving spouse.
The definition of resident is the same for the property tax exemption and deduction. It is the legal domicile within the state. Seasonal or temporary residence in the state is not considered being a resident of New Jersey. Absence from the state for a period of 12 months shall be sufficient evidence of abandonment of domicile. The burden of establishing legal domicile in the state is the claimant's burden.

In 2009 Activision's top brass allegedly instructed the company's IT head to "dig up dirt" on then Infinity Ward bosses Jason West and Vince Zampella in a bid to "get rid" of the pair.
Just months before the launch of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Activision's chief legal officer (now chief public policy officer) George Rose asked ex-IT boss Thomas Fenady to attempt to gain access to West's and Zampella's work email accounts, computers and phones to uncover any devious activities as part of an operation internally called 'Project Icebreaker'.
That's according to legal documents obtained by Giant Bomb ahead of this month's court showdown between more than 40 former Infinity Ward employees and Activision, which claim 'Project Icebreaker' was directly authorised by Activision CEO Bobby Kotick.
Rose is said to have warned Fenady "don't get caught doing it," and to have assured him "Bobby will take care of you. ... Don't worry about repercussions."
During his deposition Rose denied he specifically asked Fenady to "dig up dirt" on West and Zampella, although he did admit to Project Icebreaker's existence. He said the goal had simply been to gain access West's and Zampella's email accounts, which ultimately proved unsuccessful. Activision reportedly approached Microsoft and security specialist InGuardians in an attempt to help crack email account passwords but both refused on legal grounds.
IT man Farday also claimed there were discussions about gaining private access to Infinity Ward's studio space in order to image the contents of West's and Zampella's computers by staging a fake fumigation or mock fire drill. "I only know it was discussed. I don't think it was acted upon," he said.
Activision's legal dispute with West and Zampella stretches back to March 2010 when the pair sued the company for unfair dismissal, claiming their contracts were terminated weeks before substantial Modern Warfare 2 royalty payments were due to be made.
Activision counter-sued West and Zampella, arguing that they had been secretly negotiating a deal with EA, and added the Battlefield publisher to its complaint in late 2010. A California Superior Court subsequently ruled that EA must defend itself in a $400 million contract-interference suit, but the publishers settled out of court earlier this week.
The trial kicks off on May 29, so expect plenty more fireworks in the coming weeks.

Who's the best player available for the Orlando Magic in the 2014 draft? Our experts weigh in on overall game, upside, and who the Magic should ultimately choose with the No. 4 pick.
1. Who's the fourth-best player in the 2014 draft?
Jacob Frankel: Dante Exum. Embiid, Wiggins, and Parker are the obvious 1-2-3 picks in some order. There's basically no tape or stats available on Exum, but credible sources love him, so he seems like the consensus fourth-best pick.
Scott Rafferty: Julius Randle. While there are some legitimate concerns about his game — many believe he is undersized for an NBA power forward and that his "bully ball" style won't translate all that well to the next level — Randle is the fourth-best player in the draft. He has the skills to make an immediate impact in the league and is one of the more polished scorers in the lottery.
Tim Sartori: Dante Exum. At 6-foot-6 with a 6-foot-10 wingspan, he has the height and length to be a combo guard from the moment he enters the league. He has an incredibly quick first step, a great handle, and is a fantastic playmaker. To me, he is on a tier only slightly below the top three (Wiggins, Embiid, Parker) likely to be picked ahead of him.
2. Which player has the best upside at No. 4?
Frankel: I'll go with a split here between Noah Vonleh and Aaron Gordon. Both are super-athletic power forwards. Gordon has the potential to be a terror on defense, while Vonleh is already shooting 3-pointers and could be an evolutionary Chris Bosh.
Rafferty: Dante Exum. It's hard not to fall in love with Dante Exum's potential. He's a 6-foot-6 point guard with lighting-quick speed and, most importantly, he knows how to put those skills to good use. However, unlike Parker, Wiggins, and Embiid, there isn't a big body of work to base that on and for that reason, Exum isn't a surefire hit.
Sartori: It's a toss-up between Dante Exum and Noah Vonleh. Exum is obvious, for the aforementioned reasons — height and length at his position, scoring abilities, etc. Vonleh, however, has an NBA body at 6-foot-10, 250 pounds, and a 7-foot-4 wingspan! He's a great rebounder who has showed to have some promising tools offensively, and is only 18 years old.
3. Who should the Magic select at No. 4?
Frankel: Dante Exum. Reports coming from Chad Ford and others say the Magic want a point guard, so Exum should be the guy. Neither Exum nor Oladipo is a pure point guard, so they can share the duties together, making a frightening backcourt. Exum is 6-foot-6 and super explosive, and Oladipo is already an impact defensive player. The two together in the backcourt would be suffocating.
Rafferty: Dante Exum. Exum has the talent to be a top-three pick and where he winds up may come down to how he performs in workouts and interviews leading up to the draft. He'll likely be on the board when the Magic get their shot and if that's the case, he'd be a great fit in the backcourt with Victor Oladipo.
Sartori: Dante Exum. Picking Exum means he and Oladipo would be able to share ballhandling duties, and the Magic have a backcourt for the future with as much potential as any other in the league.
