So I'm gonna tackle building a single tier Brutus type system. I will be learning how to weld in this project and need your advise as to what type of metal to use I.e. Advantages/disadvantages. Tips on everything from cutting the metal to where to mount my pump. I was also wondering if anyone had experience with these burners Natural Gas Jet Burners, 10 Jet Natural Gas Jet Burner 618NG thanks in advance.
I have experience with those burners and if you take a peek at my website, you'll see my advice is based on experience. If you are a first time welder (assuming mig) use thicker material (1/8") and practice on scrap. The stand will be too heavy but you won't poke as many holes in the metal from inexperience. There are some good YouTube videos on welding. A metal chop saw will be all you need for cutting. As for metal selection, go with rectangular mild steel tube 1" x 2" x 1/8". 2' x 2" is way overkill and adds weight without strength. Take a look at how we mount our pumps, simple yet elegant. You will need a 4-1/2" angle grinder, and a flex disc and many lots and lots of sanding discs. Harbor Freight is your best bet for consumables (NOT welding wire). Do NOT use the frame as a gas manifold, this is not safe! Look at lots of photos and draw lots of sketches. Think about where everything will sit and where all the fluids flow. Good Luck!! Oh, you better post photos. Cheers!
I couldn't find any info on your sight on those burners. Where should I look? Won't get to practice welding till the weekend so I stated polishing my kegs via bobbys instructions instead. Just got done with the #2 polishing stick and It's already almost a mirror I'll post some pics if I can find the cord to my camera.
Just ordered the back issue of BYO with Lonnie Mac's instructions and will PM him for any tips. Won't be doing an exact clone but hope the instructions will steer me in the right direction. There seems to be a lot of people using banjo burners from the same company. I like the small footprint of the 10 tip burners (not to mention the lower price), but would like to get some feedback on their performance . Help is much appreciated. Btw my vessels are keggles.
Would 1.5 square tubing be as good as 1x2? Why not build the gas beam?
1.5 would be fine. Steel tubing is not design to hold gas and unless the fittings are tig welded on, there is no guarantee they will be leak. Better safe than sorry. We won't build them for customers due to the liability issue. A gas manifold can be mounted several different ways and will be much easier to do then welding fittings on.
OneHoppyGuy. Do you sell complete burner kits?
I'm assuming you mean a gas manifold with valves and hoses? We can supply any parts you need. Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com with your wish list. And yes, we are working on a shopping cart.

Gears is one of those games I think about getting, but never seem to put down cash for. I'm curious, though, since one of the game's selling points was that it has such a devious AI that "you'll swear there's an intelligent player countering your every move…" How smart is the AI, really? Does it actually feel like the Locust are being controlled in an intelligent manner, or is the effect only worthwhile for a few plays until you figure out how they work and then they're a pushover?
So, how smart is the AI in this game?
Posted 29 December 2012 - 04:34 PM
Posted 30 December 2012 - 11:30 PM
So far, I noticed that sometimes the Locust AI does not make the optimal choice for the situation (but it's nonetheless the sensible choice for the the critter role). Most often is quite capable in its player killing overall efficiency.
Given the possible combinations of involved critter(s), variable map layout, players positions and conditions, weaponry, etc., devising a predictable pattern is not so easy. Certainly not after a few games, and certainly not without a specific intent of doing so - as you're busy keeping your skin together, quite a feat. Also, as there's a bit of dice rolling involved, performances range from dismaying to astounding.
So, while after a few games you can predict a certain enemy behaviour, you cannot plan at all for its exact movements, actions, and intent.

I suppose that's reasonable, at the end of the day. But the enemies still put up a good fight after you've played enough to get the hang of the rules? Maybe they won't always do "the best thing" - I wouldn't expect that much of any automated system - but at the least they aren't predictable to the point that defeating them becomes a trivial task.
That's what I'm getting from your response, and I think that sounds like a perfectly fair performance for what the game promises. Thanks for your input. =)
Posted 31 December 2012 - 10:51 PM
The AI is definitely challenging, there are some very brutal combinations of AI-cards that may turn the tides very easily. Weaknesses in the AI are compensated by the fact that the enemies' attacks are very devastating. So even a "bad choice" of the AI may be very threatening.
I've played countless sessions of Gears of War now, and I have to admit that the AI's turns are still not predictable and offer some nice surprises - and that's great! In my opinion, the AI is far better than I expected and even single-player-sessions feel very "lively" - at last, Gears of War is my favorite single-player-game (played with two ore three COGs, of course, not with only one as suggested by the rules).

I can assure you that enemies put up a damned good fight every freakin' time. They have a good number of advantages over the COGs, and half of the time they're just brutally efficient in whittling down your hand of cards.
One thing to keep in mind is that the game balance is designed to be tilted in favor of the Locust horde. You can defeat them, but it's gonna be difficult, no matter what.

Of course. Co-op games are generally slanted towards the AI since human players can learn and improve, but the AI can't. That was one of the things that had me curious about how the Gears AI worked, since it seemed to offer more in that regard than most co-op games.

Welcome to explore the question "How to Design and Host Learning?" at the 4th Art of Hosting Training in Finland 8th - 10th May 2014.
Hello Stefan,
I somehow missed your message here from in July! Sorry. Are you still thinking of bringing AoH to Tirol? You know about the trainings that happened in Bregenz and Allgau, right? I guess both Ursula and Gabriele are the ones that could help you further! - and of course Silvia too!
With love,
Hi Stefan,
wir hören uns sowieso bald, wegen der AoH Trainingsidee in München. Aber falls du einen "ally" für andere Veranstaltungen an deiner Uni brauchst, können wir gerne mal reden, vielleicht lohnt es sich ja, dass ich mal von München nach Tirol komme?
Liebe Grüße,
Hello dear Ria!
I haven't been on this page for a long time but now I feel the time is right to connect back to what is important right now.
I'm studying Elementary School Teacher at the PH Tirol in Austria. I joined the student's represantatives board and I long to be the head of it this year. I'm very fond of the AoH techniques and I'm going to use it for my "TutorInnen-Projekt" in autumn. I want to introduce it into the school system here but what I need are allies for that change.
I hoped to get any knowledge from you or motivation or some sort of help to bring AoH to Tirol - for students and pupils.
In thoughts,
Thanks, Ria. Nice contrasting with a favorite protocol, ORID, and to see how AOH is influencing how teachers engage with students and each other.
Great blogpost about Art of Hosting meets Art of Teaching! Greatly inspiring I guess for the people here in this group.
A lovely little video about Kufunda and the youth program - using Circle Practice as one of the AoH practices for youth leadership development: http://vimeo.com/45771851
Here are reflections from a training in Denmark where the participants are the stakeholders of primary and secondary schools:

Weymouth New Testament (WNT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 He said also to His disciples: "There was a rich man who had a steward, about whom a report was brought to him, that he was wasting his property. | 1 Jesus told his disciples: "There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions. |
2 He called him and said, "`What is this I hear about you? Render an account of your stewardship, for I cannot let you hold it any longer.' | 2 So he called him in and asked him, 'What is this I hear about you? Give an account of your management, because you cannot be manager any longer.' |
3 "Then the steward said within himself, "`What am I to do? For my master is taking away the stewardship from me. I am not strong enough for field labour: to beg, I should be ashamed. | 3 "The manager said to himself, 'What shall I do now? My master is taking away my job. I'm not strong enough to dig, and I'm ashamed to beg-- |
4 I see what to do, in order that when I am discharged from the stewardship they may give me a home in their own houses.' | 4 I know what I'll do so that, when I lose my job here, people will welcome me into their houses.' |
5 "So he called all his master's debtors, one by one, and asked the first, `How much are you in debt to my master?' | 5 "So he called in each one of his master's debtors. He asked the first, 'How much do you owe my master?' |
6 "`A hundred firkins of oil,' he replied. "`Here is your account,' said the steward: `sit down quickly and change it into fifty firkins.' | 6 " 'Eight hundred gallons of olive oil,' he replied. "The manager told him, 'Take your bill, sit down quickly, and make it four hundred.' |
7 "To a second he said, "`And how much do you owe?' "`A hundred quarters of wheat,' was the answer. "`Here is your account,' said he: `change it into eighty quarters.' | 7 "Then he asked the second, 'And how much do you owe?' " 'A thousand bushels of wheat,' he replied. "He told him, 'Take your bill and make it eight hundred.' |
8 "And the master praised the dishonest steward for his shrewdness; for, in relation to their own contemporaries, the men of this age are shrewder than the sons of Light. | 8 "The master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly. For the people of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own kind than are the people of the light. |
9 "But I charge you, so to use the wealth which is ever tempting to dishonesty as to win friends who, when it fails, shall welcome you to the tents that never perish. | 9 I tell you, use worldly wealth to gain friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone, you will be welcomed into eternal dwellings. |
10 The man who is honest in a very small matter is honest in a great one also; and he who is dishonest in a very small matter is dishonest in a great one also. | 10 "Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. |
11 If therefore you have not proved yourselves faithful in dealing with the wealth that is tainted with fraud, who will entrust to you the true good? | 11 So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? |
12 And if you have not been faithful in dealing with that which is not your own, who will give you that which is your own? | 12 And if you have not been trustworthy with someone else's property, who will give you property of your own? |
13 "No servant can be in bondage to two masters. For either he will hate one and love the other, or else he will cling fast to one and scorn the other. You cannot be bondservants both of God and of gold." | 13 "No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money." |
14 To all this the Pharisees listened, bitterly jeering at Him; for they were lovers of money. | 14 The Pharisees, who loved money, heard all this and were sneering at Jesus. |
15 "You are they," He said to them, "who boast of their own goodness before men, but God sees your hearts; for that which holds a proud position among men is detestable in God's sight. | 15 He said to them, "You are the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of men, but God knows your hearts. What is highly valued among men is detestable in God's sight. |
16 The Law and the Prophets continued until John came: from that time the Good News of the Kingdom of God has been spreading, and all classes have been forcing their way into it. | 16 "The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John. Since that time, the good news of the kingdom of God is being preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it. |
17 But it is easier for earth and sky to pass away than for one smallest detail of the Law to fall to the ground. | 17 It is easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for the least stroke of a pen to drop out of the Law. |
18 Every man who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery; and he who marries her when so divorced from her husband commits adultery. | 18 "Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery. |
19 "There was once a rich man who habitually arrayed himself in purple and fine linen, and enjoyed a splendid banquet every day, | 19 "There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. |
20 while at his outer door there lay a beggar, Lazarus by name, | 20 At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores |
21 covered with sores and longing to make a full meal off the scraps flung on the floor from the rich man's table. Nay, the dogs, too, used to come and lick his sores. | 21 and longing to eat what fell from the rich man's table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores. |
22 "But in course of time the beggar died; and he was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died, and had a funeral. | 22 "The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried. |
23 And in Hades, being in torment, he looked and saw Abraham in the far distance, and Lazarus resting in his arms. | 23 In hell, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. |
24 So he cried aloud, and said, "`Father Abraham, take pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in agony in this flame.' | 24 So he called to him, 'Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.' |
25 "`Remember, my child,' said Abraham, `that you had all your good things during your lifetime, and that Lazarus in like manner had his bad things. But, now and here, he is receiving consolation and you are in agony. | 25 "But Abraham replied, 'Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. |
26 And, besides all this, a vast chasm is immovably fixed between us and you, put there in order that those who desire to cross from this side to you may not be able, nor any be able to cross over from your side to us.' | 26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.' |
27 "`I entreat you then, father,' said he, `to send him to my father's house. | 27 "He answered, 'Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my father's house, |
28 For I have five brothers. Let him earnestly warn them, lest they also come to this place of torment.' | 28 for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.' |
29 "`They have Moses and the Prophets,' replied Abraham; `let them hear them.' | 29 "Abraham replied, 'They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.' |
30 "`No, father Abraham,' he pleaded; `but if some one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.' | 30 " 'No, father Abraham,' he said, 'but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.' |
31 "`If they are deaf to Moses and the Prophets,' replied Abraham, `they would not be led to believe even if some one should rise from the dead.'" | 31 "He said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.' " |

Does anybody know if there are successful almond tree plantings in florida? I tried searching the net but didn't find any concrete reasons why they would not grow.
Also, what about the "tropical almond"? Supposedly the nut or endocarp is edible. Apparently it's not hardy inland in central florida, but if one could get it to grow in a sheltered location that might be good as I guess it's highly invasive...... |

There are so many great plants available in Florida, I would encourage you to stay away from invasives - especially anything labeled as 'highly invasive'! Even if you can control it's growth and spread, you can't control what happens after you move on. And you may not see how a plant spreads, even if you are trying to be a good steward. What if a squirrel hauls the nuts away, where they get dropped and sprout? Are there other almonds or even other nut trees that aren't on the invasive list that you would consider trying? |
Tropical Almond is on the restricted list for most of South Florida, check with your local Ag center before trying it. |
I don't think tropical almond is a serious proposition for my location in any case. I'm a lot more curious about true almonds, and whether they can be grown in north/central. |
Click here for almond tree info. |
Thanks, Fawn. I did read that earlier today, doesn't really say anything about why, exactly, almond production is concentrated in CA. The obvious guess is that almonds don't handle humidity very well, or at least not heat and humidity together. |
- Posted by solstice98 9b Orlando (My Page) on Mon, Mar 24, 08 at 20:53
You also see a lot of almonds in hilly areas of Spain, Italy and Greece. Dry soil and low humidity. |

I tried growing the non tropical almond after ty ty nursery stated that it would grow in my area and any area that peaches grow. I lost both the first year. Too hot for them. And never trust Ty Ty. Felix |

try macademia nut, instead. ECHO is developing some cultivars for dooryard culture. they are BEAUTIFUL, medium-sized, prolific nut trees. google ECHO macademia. |
Almonds need 300-500 hours of 45şF or lower per year to produce (same as Peaches) and they must have dry summers...Central FL has neither. For the (unrelated) "Tropical Almond" to be considered invasive is really a stretch. Maybe in the Keys or along Florida Bay at places very near where they're already growing. FL also lists the Coconut Palm as invasive. Can you imagine: 1.Seeds getting into your yard (bird droppings, sticking to peoples' feet?) and/or 2. You not noticing them? |
Bay Laurel Nursery in CA sells low chill hour peaches. I have Tropic Snow (white flesh) with peaches forming now. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Click here.
OK, macademia - thanks Ill (better that than academia, for me!). I'll add it to my list for next year's plantings. It's getting to be a long list. I'll definitely be going to that place near Tampa y'all told me about........ Funny, apparently our property used to be peach orchard back in the 30's or so. I reckon they had more chill hours in those days. |
- Posted by an_ill-mannered_ache 9a (My Page) on Tue, Mar 25, 08 at 7:58
there were a number of attempts to grow peaches on large scale in the 30s and 40s central fla. nematodes did them in. |

They have recently developed several "tropical" varieties of peach that do well in south florida. The fruit is smaller and often somewhat lower quality than the typical georgia peach but still quite good. My dad had one in his yard and it was an extremely fast grower, very healthy and had lots of small peaches within a few years. Doesn't grow into a large shade tree more of a cross between a shrub and a tree, which I guess is more typical of a fruit tree, but seemed smaller and more bushy compared to northern peach trees. I have looked myself and there aren't many nuts that can be grown in florida. The Pecan is the only really good nut and in the southern part of the state will have low fruit yields due to not enough chill hours, but at least will grow and bear nuts. |

Group 5 woke up in Lublin, which was once home to a thriving Jewish community, and started their day at Yeshivat Chochmei Lublin. There, the staff members led a limud and the group studied rabbinic texts, much like students of the Yeshiva did in the early twentieth century. It is in this Yeshiva where the great Rabbi Shapira invented the system of learning a page of Talmud a day, Daf Yomi, a system still in use today. The group then headed to Majdanek Concentration Camp. One of the most interesting and shocking parts of the camp is that much of the camp is still intact, giving the group a full image of what it looked like when it was operational. Then they headed to Sobibor, a Concentration and Death Camp, at which a successful revolt occurred in 1943; close to 600 prisoners escaped. The group participated in a memorial ceremony there as well. In the evening they met in subgroups and these small groups will meet each night in Poland in order to debrief about the day together.

I have a house in the Maryland DC suburbs that has aluminum wiring. What is it going to cost me - approximately to have outlets and switches pigtailed with copper wire to reduce the fire hazzard? Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Not sure what the cost is going to be. Make sure that you find an electrician that has experience in using the specialized crimper for the pigtails. If you talk to an electrician and they mention using the purple wirenuts...find someone else. Another option is to replace all the switches/receptacles with cop/alum rated ones. |

Several weeks ago I used milk and baking soda on grass to get rid of mildew. I'm not sure but now I have tan grass in these spots and in a little more areas. It has been HOT and raining like crazy here and I was wanting to put Milgranite down for my summer fertilizer. Can I still use the corn meal just in case this is a fungus on grass or would that be too much fertilizer? |

Baking soda is fungicide meaning it kills good and bad fungi in the soil. No idea how long it takes for baking soda to go away but you will have to apply compost to re-introduce beneficial fungi to the soil. I wouldn't use baking soda again. Go with corn meal instead. Maybe Actinovate or Rootshield. Organic fertilizer won't burn your lawn. Go for it. |
I don't mean to hyjack your thread, but I'm wondering if this is the same cornmeal used to make cornbread that you buy at the grocery store? |
"I'm wondering if this is the same cornmeal used to make cornbread that you buy at the grocery store?" Yes, but you'll want to buy it in bulk if you plan to use it on your lawn or it will get expensive in a hurry. |

Feed grade corn meal is similar to food grade. The difference is in how the corn was stored before it was ground. |

In "Building Bridges," a Tapestry of Faith program
Say, in your own words:
In ancient Jewish society, a person's name was considered a definition of who they were. The Bible has frequent stories of people who, following transformation, change their name or are assigned a new name by God. After Jacob (the Betrayer) wrestles with the angel of God, he is humbled and his life is completely changed. To honor this transformation, God renames him Israel (Wrestler with God). When Abram and Sarai conceive a child, and thus begin the Jewish line, God honors the event by renaming them Abraham and Sarah.
Many cultures practice this tradition when young people come of age. In many faiths, youth take the name of someone in their religious heritage whose life and works they admire and whom they would like to emulate in adulthood.
Distribute Handout 2 and the list of participants' names, and allow participants a few moments to review and discuss them.
Invite youth to consider what it would be like to have a name that defines who they are. Ask: If their name could represent what is most important to them or a personal goal or a significant aspect of their family's history or faith, what would that name be?
Distribute writing materials and invite youth to brainstorm for a few minutes. Encourage them to jot down anything that comes to mind—things they would want a name to say about them. Have youth review their lists and see what themes emerge.
Invite volunteers to share their ideas. Ask:
Have youth use their ideas and themes to research names. They can share their research in the next workshop.

Family-Owned Business Institute (FOBI)
Home › Academics › Colleges › Collins College of Business › Centers and Institutes › Family-Owned Business Institute (FOBI) › Frequently Asked Questions
What is a family business? What is the purpose of a family business institute? Who is eligible to join? Who would benefit from membership? What are the benefits of membership? Why should I join? How much does it cost to join? How often do you meet? What types of events does the Institute sponsor? How do I become a member?
It is very hard to arrive at a definitive definition of a family business. Generally, it is a company where the family has controlling interest in the firm, where one or more family members work in the company, and where the family expects to continue its management/control of the business into the next generation.
Family business centers exist in many universities across the United States and around the world. While family business only recently became recognized as a distinct area of academic study in the early 1980s and it has long been recognized as an important and historical form of business ownership.
Family business centers were created to help improve the transfer of the family businesses from one generation to another. Statistics show that less than 30% of family businesses are successfully transferred to the second generation and the transfer to the third generation is even worse, 15 out of 100 companies.
There are specific areas that have been identified through research as strategically important in making the transition to the next generation successful. Family business centers offer support to business owners in these areas and provide educational programs to make family business owners aware of these strategic topics and offer suggestions on how to navigate the difficult waters associated with these trouble spots.
Membership in the Institute is open to established family businesses provided that:
The Family-Owned Business Institute at The University of Tulsa provides a forum for the development and dissemination of information relevant to the succession and stability of the family business. The Institute offers educational programs to promote effective family business management, to strengthen the health of family relationships, to disseminate relevant information and to create a network for family business members.
The goal of the Institute is to promote the recognition of the economic significance of the family business sector and to provide a voice in society for family-owned businesses. If you are a family business owner who cares about the long-term success of your business as well as the role that family businesses play in preserving particular family and business values, then you need to participate in this dynamic learning community.
In addition, if you would like to participate in the learning process of the next generation, you may be called upon to be a guest speaker in the family business management or the family business law classes. You will have the opportunity to tell the upcoming generation about your business in relationship to a particular topic of exploration.
The Insitute hosts between eight and ten events each year.
Each year, the Institute hosts two nationally recognized speakers, one in the spring and one in the fall. These events are luncheons and are open to the general Tulsa business community.
Members learn from one another during roundtable discussions which take place several times each year. These events are open to FOBI members only so that members can discuss more sensitive topics in greater detail; topics such as estate planning, succession planning, family compensation, stock ownership, sibling rivalry, family policy guides, family governance, etc.
In addition, each summer we visit a member company and we host a holiday networking social every December.
Anyone interest in joining FOBI is encouraged to attend an event to experience, first hand, what the Institute has to offer. We are so certain that you will benefit from the experience that you will choose to immediately join. To find out about upcoming events or to register for an event, call Claire Cornell at 918-631-2684 or email her at: firstname.lastname@example.com. Click here to apply for membership online.
If your question was not answered above, please click here to request additional information or contact Claire Cornell at 918-631-2684 or email her at: firstname.lastname@example.com.

Sales of newly built, single-family homes in May held virtually even with the previous month, declining less than one percentage point to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 342,000 units, according to the U.S. Commerce Department. New-home sales declined 0.6% from April (revised to 344,000) to a seasonally adjusted annual pace of 342,000 units in May. The number is 32.8% below May 2008's estimate of 509,000. Meanwhile, the number of new homes for sale fell 2.3% to 292,000, which is a 10.2-month supply at the current sales pace. Regionally, the decline in new-home sales was entirely focused on the South, where sales fell 8.5% for the month. Meanwhile, sales of new homes gained 1.3% in the West and posted double-digit gains of 28.6% and 18.6% in the Northeast and Midwest, respectively.

Hi all, Sorry if this is not the correct section in which to post this, I'm new here. My husband and I purchased our home in January and have been trying to clean up the neglected-for-decades landscaping in the front yard. There are two areas in which we're still struggling with the weeds. With all the rain we've had here in Pittsburgh over the summer, the weeds got over 6' tall at one point because the combo of being watered so much + not being able to get out to weedwhack in the downpour. We finally did weedwhack them and spray with a straight vinegar/dish soap/salt combo, but that didn't seem to do much and they're slowly creeping back up. The two areas total up to at least 200 sq feet, and are solidly covered in weeds and poison ivy, so pulling/digging by hand isn't really an option. My husband is actually on prednisone right now because he got poison ivy so bad just from weedwhacking in the general vicinity. What are our options here to get rid of these darn weeds? We've so far tried straight vinegar, the vinegar/dollop of soap/dash of salt mix, and boiling water. None of them have worked. We have crabgrass, poison ivy, thistles, and probably a hundred other varieties that I don't know the names of. I would like to avoid RoundUp or similar products at all costs, but if that's what we have to do then I'm willing to try it as a last resort. I'm so sick of having a weed jungle for a front yard. Would renting a rototiller and tilling all the weeds under do any good? Or would they just re-root themselves and come back up? This is my first time having a house with a garden so I'm a bit of a novice about this all. TIA! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Tilling is not a great idea, since thistles and many other weeds will resprout from tiny bits of root. I would try posting this in the Weeds forum, where you'll no doubt get some expert advice. Good luck! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Weeds forum
Ah, I didn't realize there was a Weeds forum! Thanks for the link. |
Do you have a mower? If the weeds are on a flat area just running them over with the mower will keep them in check until you find a better solution. Weeds will grow whenever they have the opportunity. Either put down a mulch to smother them or plant something else that will fill the space. A rototilled area would be the perfect area for more weeds to grow! Don't do it! |
- Posted by paula_in_pa z6 SEPA ChesCo (My Page) on Wed, Aug 14, 13 at 8:49
Solarize it by covering the area with clear (not black) thick plastic. The weeds will fry and die in around a month, then mulch the area afterwards to keep new weeds from growing. |
Spray with round- up, Then cover the area with landscape fabric or black plastic, Actually I covered my area with tarp because it is heavier and I havent had a weed come back yet. |

- Posted by paula_in_pa z6 SEPA ChesCo (My Page) on Sat, Aug 17, 13 at 9:31
1. Cook weeds (solarization) using clear plastic. 2. Starve weeds via light deprivation using black plastic. #1, in places where it works, is faster and more reliable. It also can kill dormant seeds, which #2 does not. So, it's important to use the right term for each method, as they are definitely not two subsets of the same method. |

Have you ever wondered why it can rain for days on end and why none of your flowering plants, in particular the flowers themselves turn brown or discolor?
That's right. I have gardenia, jasmine, and brunfelsia that will put out the nicest white flowers and stay WHITE for days on end in rain water for days!
Try watering them with tap water and see what happens to your beautiful white flowers in just one day if you have tap water like mine. Don't be fooled by discoloration or yellowing leaves on your plants. It may just be the tap waters fault. Mike |

Develop incredibly fast, and scalable cross-platform backend apps Today!
Tomorrow? JavaScript powered native mobile apps with 'Native Performance'!
Node.JS's async I/O already benefits from multithreading. The problem is that the main thread (single thread) is limited to one operation at a time and all operations handled by multiple threads has to wait in the queue. Node's initial design assumes that the main thread will be fast enough to handle the queue. This assumption fails under load where the number of response/request is much bigger than a single thread can handle alone.
Async I/O lets Node.JS to handle all IO events without blocking the main application thread.
But the success of async I/O is limited to main thread's consume rate.
If the main thread is busy, all operations handled by libUV has to wait until the main thread is available again.
The situation gets even more tricky when V8 requires a secondary garbage collection that results
in the whole event queue waiting and eventually getting bigger and bigger.
JXcore handles IO events using multiple V8 instances. Each V8 instance is isolated from another hence any application
can benefit from multithreaded Node.JS without a code change. JXcore performs even better with applications requiring more CPU power.
Each JXcore V8 thread has its own memory and limitations. Even if one of the instances start collecting the secondary garbage,
the others will be functioning and keep the process responsive.
JXP is a JavaScript packaging feature comes with JXcore. It combines all the source and asset files into a single 'encrypted' file that brings a very high level of protection for your intellectual property. Combining all the project files into a single package makes the deployment process even easier. Click here for more ..
Node.JS is great! It's easy to develop scalable applications. It is already trusted by many enterprises. JXcore's mission is to extend Node.JS with additional features and improve both uptime and stability. Next, we will introduce native mobile app development to JavaScript.
JXcore's approach to stability is mostly based on structural changes on both libuv and node.JS core, including: IO, wrapper, and request queues, extra measurements and prevention of assert backed crashes all over the solution, and finally safe wrappers around global members. We believe these structural changes are very important for the stability with or without multithreading since async I/O strictly depends on the queues. JXcore uses an external memory for source codes and related resources.
JXcore comes with a built-in multithreading support that can be enabled on your existing Node.js applications without additional changes. JXcore's multithreading can be considered as a multiple instances of Node.JS running under the same process. We optimized the CPU and memory usage as well as other system resources in order to improve the overall performance of an application. JXcore multithreading may bring aprox. 30 to 50 percent solid performance advantage over Node.JS cluster module.
JXcore's internal monitoring feature tracks each thread separately and saves both process and threads from unexpected crashes. In case of a failure, JXcore gives you a chance to restart the running instance and save any information needed. JXcore's monitoring also works as a service to track running processes.
JX packaging system is designed to combine all the assets and source files into an encrypted binary file in order to make them easier to deploy and keep your intellectual property secure. JX binary file keeps the JavaScript sources from undesired access and may limit the usage based on scenarios.
JXcore comes with a cross-platform, fast and highly scalable messaging API including all the features needed for applications requiring real time communication with the server. JXcore messaging is already passed the test of handling 50 billion random requests without an issue.
Using the built-in memory stores, you can move beyond the memory limitations of V8. JXcore provides both per thread and cross-thread memory stores beneficial for different application scenarios. Each JXcore thread has its own maximum V8 memory limitation.
JXcore has a SQLite database engine embedded and ready to use on all platforms with multithreaded JX instances. Our intention is to reduce the overhead of installing/compiling SQLite on target platforms and ensuring efficiency & stability under multithreaded usage.
JXcore comes with a built-in package manager that helps you to download the 3rd party modules and cary them to the offline environments easily. You can both use NPM and JXcore package manager without installing anything special.
We have already tested and compiled JXcore for many platforms. Instead compiling Node.JS and popular native modules per each platform, you can simply download the corresponding JXcore binary and deploy/run your Node.JS solution.
JXcore documentation and tutorials are available from JXcore website.

Five-Card Draw is the variation of poker known by most players outside the poker community. This game has been played around kitchen tables for ages, and when cowboys in a western film test their bluffing skills, they usually play a game of Five-Card Draw. Since Seven-Card Stud, Omaha and especially Texas Hold'em took over the market Five-Card Draw has been surpassed, and it is hard to find Fice-Card Draw in casinos and poker clubs or a Five-Card Draw tournament.
Many think that Five-Card Draw is more based on luck compared with other forms of poker, but that is not entirely true. It would be better to say it is a game with less information.
In a Texas Hold'em game you can take a look at the board and see what the best possible hand is. And if you hold the nuts, you have an unbeatable hand. That is something that you can't do in Five-Card Draw.
Your opponent could have a royal straight flush, but he could also have nothing but queen high. The only thing you know about your opponents' hands is how many cards they drew after the first betting round and what they decided to bet.
The best Five-Card Draw players are those who are skilled in spotting tells. Since there is little information about what other players hold, it's very important to focus on your opponents actions at the table.
We all know that this isn't done very easily online, and one could question if it's even possible to play this game on the Internet. But because a lot of players lack the basic strategy skills it takes to become a successful Five-Card Draw player, it is still possible to play successfully online.
Many of the players you will find in Five-Card Draw games are Hold'em players just trying something new. Their biggest problem is often that they seem to overrate the value of their hands. When you get a pair of queens in the hole in a Hold'em game you know that you hold a very powerful hand, but remember to revaluate that pair when you change poker form. If you can manage to beat the random Hold'em player there is quite a lot of money up for grabs.

Edge2015 - Apply for a visa
Interested in attending Edge2015? Find out how to request an invitation letter to apply for a VISA to enter the United States and attend Edge2015.
It is the requestor's responsibility to determine the type of visa they need to apply for, allow ample time to complete the application and ensure compliance with the parameters of the type of visa obtained, for their visit to the United States to attend this conference. By submitting the request for an invitation letter, the requestor agrees to this.
To request an invitation letter, please use the following steps:
- Send an email from your employer/business email account that matches the name on your passport.
- Have the subject line read: STGCONF - Visa Invitation - NAME - COMPANY/ORGANIZATION and personalize the fields in caps
- Copy the text under "Information to send in the request" below, insert the responses and send to email@example.com
Send one request per email and from the employer/business email address that matches the requestor's name and place of employment. Requests from email accounts @gmail, @yahoo, etc. cannot be processed without additional validation and possible delay. Please use a business email ID where possible.
For accuracy, the request should come directly from the traveler. If someone makes a request on behalf of the traveler, the traveler's business email ID must be copied on the request.
IBM employees must follow additional IBM travel guidelines/policies in their country of employment/residence. All IBM employees are required to run an Immigration Determination Tool (IDT) assessment for each trip, even if traveling between countries that participate in the visa waiver program, and provide the approval number and a copy of the approval in the invitation letter request (not as an attachment). Visit the IBM Travel page on the internal network to link to the "Cross-Border" webpage and the IDT. Searching "IDT" on your internal home page should also bring you to the tool.
If you already have a visa to enter the U.S., and are requesting a letter to show the customs agent at your U.S. point of entry, the confirmation email of your enrollment should be sufficient. Please have a printed copy of that with your travel papers along with a printed copy of the conference agenda for additional backup.
The invitation letter will be sent as a .pdf file via email to you within 3 business days of receiving the completed information requested below. We request physical mailing address to properly address the letter; however, nothing is physically mailed.

Artic Circle and Light
Name: Gina Chapman Status: Other Age: 30s Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: N/A
My daughter would like to know the reason Alaska has 6 months of dark and 6 months of light?
Not quite true. In the portion of Alaska north of the arctic circle there is at lease one day of the year when the sun does not technically rise and one day when it does not technically set. Technically because there is still twilight. The farther north you go, the larger the number of days of all sunlight or all darkness.
The reason for this is what is called the seasonal tilt of the earth. It tilts 23.5 degrees. This tilt is directly toward the sun on the summer solstice and directly away on the winter solstice.
