Leading the Way in Sustainability
Posted by
on October 05, 2009 at 07:02 PM EST This morning, I was proud to gather with a group of cabinet secretaries and other senior officials as President Obama signed a new Executive Order on Federal Sustainability. The Executive Order challenges agencies to lead by example in energy and environmental performance and gives them 90 days to set a 2020 greenhouse reduction goal. It also sets targets for efficient, sustainable buildings, petroleum use reduction in fleets, water efficiency, waste reduction, purchasing green technologies and product, and supporting sustainable communities.
By fulfilling this Executive Order, the Federal government will demonstrate that economic performance and a healthy environment go hand-in-hand. And by putting Federal purchasing power to work – more than $500 billion per year in goods and services – the government can build on the momentum of the Recovery Act to help turn good entrepreneurial ideas into great American enterprises that create jobs.
I'm sure I speak for everyone who's been a part of this effort when I say that we're ready to put these ideas into practice, starting today.
Nancy Sutley is the Chair of the Council on Environmental Quality.

I called my mother yesterday to wish a happy mothers day and she told me that my younger brother has liver cancer and doesn't want any kind of treatment he just wants to die. he is not saved and has rejected my older brother and I when we have shared the gospel with him in the past.
I live about 400 miles from my mom and will be flying there this weekend my older brother is in Alaska and can't get there until June.
I ask that you will pray that my brother will not reject seeing me and his heart be soften that he will trust in Jesus as his savior.
My mother is 85 and my brother is living with her and shes unable to take care of him he has three son's that he will not allow to see him because he claims they hate him, his son's are all born again Christians and love him very much
I ask that you will pray for God soften his heart toward his son's and he will allow them to help him.
I also ask for prayer for our mother she is taking this very hard and her heart is very weak her the doctors have told her she would not make it through another heart attack.
Pray that the lord will give her strength and His peace through this time
It's very hard living so far away and I cant be there all the time I have been in continued prayer for my brother for many years, I've witnessed and won lost souls for Jesus many times but this one has been the hardest.
Please Pray
Thank you and God bless you for your prayers

Poor Transfer clarity

Comments about this product:
The transfer was blurry and the size of the photo did not fit well on the shirt. It was embarrassing to give as a gift so I bought a different gift and gave this one as well, along with an apology for the poor quality.

NCIS White Room great photo but ...
By ACT-5775
from North Carolina
About Me Comfort-oriented
My experience with the shirt is not the same as was stated in the 1-star review. I've had my shirt for 2-3 years with no problems in size or color loss. It's likely my shirt came from an earlier lot and may have been printed on different material. The tee-shirt material isn't the cheapest quality, but I would have preferred better. I love the "white room" photo. Unfortunately, putting the photo on a white shirt is too much white. At the least, the maker needs to put a black border around the photo (including the NCIS with pic).If "white room" were printed on a better quality black shirt, it wouldn't be average; it would be awesome. Maybe developing a "new and improved" design should be considered. I'd pay an extra few bucks for a great-looking tee.

I used my copics to color him in, but also did some paper piecing on his white parts - it was the only way I could get them to be perfectly white (I'm not the best when it comes to staying in the lines...!) I also added some glitter to his fur for extra dimension. The foam stickers are from the Dear Lizzy American Crafts collection - they are the perfect size to fit onto greeting cards.

taric def
Karma solo bot is viable as well. PLAYED AS A SUPPORT. I couldn't believe my eyes when I was against her. She wasn't like most karmas you see that are either too aggressive while playing as a support or too pasive while trying to play as a mage. She used a doran build, leveled first Q->E->W. Used heal but not bomb-shield. Ended up carrying 2 ad champs. We couldn't do anything. They got to late game and we were screwed.
Ya I think Zilean is the best but mainly cos you play him like an AP carry, you just have that utility value too. Soraka and Sona both work, but as mentioned above you build them with more AP than support items. WotA and Rylais work great on both champs depending on your team. Janna seems less viable to me simply because even building her AP, it can be difficult to deal damage with her. With that said, however, there's less space and more chokes on TT and this, combined with her tornado range can mean a good Janna will be game changing. Taric is good in 3s. Armor buff, stun, ulti buff, all work for him. He can be tanky and still have AP. Just a beast. Alistar, Karma and Kayle are, imo, more suited to 5s. Also you can take champs like Orianna and Morgana that essentially double as an AP carry and Support. Orianna is actually really good in 3s as well because the latest range nerf affects her much less in 3s than in 5s. As for specific pairings there are too many to list, but I'll give some examples. Taric works well laning with basically any champion that has a stun. Stun/CC locking in 3s is really effective early game. Someone like Renekton works. Janna obviously works with basically any AD carry, but because of her tornados she can actually handle a solo lane if you have a jungler. The difference between Janna in 3s and 5s is that in 3s you usually want to be supporting a melee AD rather than ranged ad. Janna and Tryn, for example, is godly. Soraka and Sona can basically support anyone, and while Sona isn't great in a solo lane Soraka with Starcall is. Zilean also works with just about anyone but you usually wanna be giving that speed buff and ult to an auto attacker. Tryn, Jax, even Vayne come to mind.

John Madden
Depends on how someone defines a support. Soraka/Karma/even Janna for instance can take a solo lane and masquerade as an AP carry while having some support power. This is okay but they won't have as much burst or damage as a normal carry would, so your jungle needs to get some decent farm and damage as well. If you want a dedicated support, you have to duo top/roam with someone like Taric or Alistar. Ideally you will be able to shutdown their top lane and feed your lane partner (Vayne, Cait, etc.), and be able to roam and interrupt their jungler or gank bot. Excessive warding is crucial. This style was somewhat popular in EU recently. Ex: Taric/Ali + Vayne/Cait/Kog/Ez + Brand/Cass/Annie/Orianna (bot) Lots of burst at range and CC to keep your carries safe and fed, with enough damage to carry you through at least mid-game, hopefully not allowing your opponents to get nearly as much farm. Risky playstyle that punishes your mistakes hard.
I love playing support, but few are as efffective on TT as Dominion and SR. Sona is the worst of all and she is my main. The problem is supports usefulness is equal to the number of people they can support. Sona for instance, she has a damage aura, in a team fight on SR this can give everyone a small damage bonus which can stack up to and exceed 1200 damage in a single fight, and in addition can give heals and defense buffs which deny thousands of points of damage from the enemy teams output. However in TT, this buff applies to a measly three people, one of which is Sona, who only does paltry burst damage... making it way less useful. Many support characters have similar issues... EDIT: But, as stated above me, most supports can play AP/off-support... but that isn't really playing support in my opinion
Captain Kopp
Ive seen a soraka 1 vs 2 jax and trynd from full health with ults on 3s, just saying. It was a bad soraka too.
I think the major flaw in some supports is not contributing enough alone to make them worth a slot, in some cases they can act as a hyper-utility mage, such as janna with tons of disables and a strong utility ult, or karma with huge damage mitigation on her shield and a respectable burst. Playing them as a pseudo-AD carry or mage is really the only approach simply because there is no room for a dedicated support on a 3 person team. This means Sona better have AD carry runes and rush a sheen, and karma better be stackin some AP. They have the potential to work, but as a team you have to make their buffs worth it to the carry, whether that is in the support picking up extra damage themselves, or trying to mitigate the risk of an already risky glass carry strat. Like rushing IE before getting even 3 dorans or a ruby crystal/giantsbelt.
Haha, so essentially they're all fine. They just all need farm and to build for some damage? I think I'll try to push for Soraka and Morgana picks.
Just want to echo what most people have said already. Support heroes in general are fine as long as you dont build them like SR supports, you have to be able to do damage. I'll also add that I don't think any supports who depend on allies all the time are viable. There are a lot of situations in TT where you'll have to be able to fend for yourself, even if only for short periods of time. For example: Janna can solo lane, clear creep waves, survive ganks, and zone out dragon all by herself. Someone like Sona doesn't really have the damage or survivability to pull all those things off by herself, at least not very well.

This is a D9P with crumb blocks placed in the 4 corners, med/light blue at the mid 4 spots of the 9-patch and dark blue in the center. It's for the mother of my oldest great-granddaughter who said her mom's fav color is blue. She has since had 3 more children and I made quilts for each one. She said she would pay me to make her a quilt, but I would rather give it to her. From what I understand, she's trying to make a better life and even though this quilt is made with itty-bitty scraps of fabric, I'd like the name to give her some kind of encouragement. She has always been respectful to me and I wish things had turned out differently for her.

"Blue-ti-ful Days Ahead" "Follow the Blue-ti-ful Path" Very Nice of you to make and give her a quilt. Goes to show you how much it means to be respectful. I applaud her for that! I like what you did - I bet it looks even better in real life. Good use of those crumb blocks. Did you sew them on a muslin foundation? I guess you can't name it - "Leave the Crumby Life Behind"- |

Well, as you all know, I don't name quilts (because I suck at it, LOL). My son didn't even have a name until he was 3 days old. So I'm no help there. But Sharon, that is a truly lovely quilt, and so special for you to make it for GGD's mother. I'm sure it will be appreciated. |

Thank you for the suggestions everyone, and Marsha, the comment didn't offend me at all.....it wasn't anything I haven't been thinking the whole time.....something like the lemons and lemonade saying. I think I like using crumb blocks in a different way, unless the blocks that are sliced would be plain and all the same. Not really sure....that might make it look better, too. The suggestions are good.....I'm thinking. @:) |

I don't name quilts either and for much the same reason. The only exception has been for registered dogs, and for some reason the AKC has always liked the ones I suggested. I got ya beat. My daughter wasn't named for seven days after she was born. The nurses were so peeved, they said they wouldn't dismiss me until I coughed up a name for her. I was in labour for her 48 hours, and it was in a tiny, new hospital in the hills of the Ozarks and they wouldn't induce until the doc showed up and he was out in them thar hills making house calls. I was tired, what can I say? However, I can relate to struggling with little ones under my wing, and had a hard time at one point in my life. Can music save you? I like to think so. I remember that song "I can see clearly now.........the rain is gone". It came just when I needed it. So my suggestion is "The Rain is Gone" it just looks like kites in a sunny, blue sky. Happy quilt! |
These are all good, but "Looking Up" and "The Rain is Gone" are my favorites! |
I like "The Rain is Gone", too. I've always loved that song! Uplifting and cheerful. And, um, Calliope, it was actually 5 days before Paul had a name, - I just felt embarrassed about the length of time, so fudged it, LOL. I think he's forgiven me, because he really hated all the other names on the list. |
Reminds me of ships signal flags very nice |
How about Fair Sailing ? |
It does look like signal flags. I like Fair Sailing, good name Minnie. beverly |
Forgot to mention...I added the link because I love that song. ~Geraldine |

Add me to the suck at naming things. My dh is good for that (he named both of our kids, but he picked good ones!). I agree, it looks like sky, so something to do with that would be very fitting. Robbi |

I can't chose just one!!! Is this too sappy? You guys are awesome!!! I still need another stanza..... The Rain Is Gone Wishing you Fair Sailing and Clear Blue Skies as you Keep Looking Up |
I don't think it's too sappy at all and I don't even think you need another stanza. Seems perfect just the way you have it. |
I love all of the suggestions, but I really, really love THE RAIN IS GONE. The next stanza can come from the same song....IT'S GONNA BE A BRIGHT, BRIGHT, SUN-SHINY DAY Salijo |

I like it, Sal! Won't be long and the quilt will be in your hands. I think I'm more excited about the words than I am the quilt!! lol SharonG/FL |
Beautiful quilt from a big hearted lady!!! When I was divorced (long time ago lol) my ex's family cut off all ties with me and my children, even their grandmother. Their religion didn't believe in divorce. I admire anyone that trys to keep in touch, it's so important for the children. |

this quilt is very colorful and done nicely. since she has always been respectful the name can be Let your light shine brightly. |
The emphasis should be that she's always been respectful "to my mom." I took her into my home for over a year and she treated me like crap. But I try to stay on her good side for my grandaughter's sake. Salijo |
I respect you for that Salijo!!! Your granddaughter is the most important thing. Rosa |

Dear In Touch,
Shiloh Jolie-Pitt does not have a crush on Kingston Rossdale. He is not her "first true love." She is 5 years old. Shiloh is interested in taxidermy and being called "John" and engaging in sword play. She's basically a little mini-bad ass. Kingston, when he's not flipping off the paparazzi and getting his nails did, is probably down to look at dead animals and spar with her. It's called friendship. Can't a little girl play with a little boy without it being labeled "a crush"? Maybe Kingston has a crush on Shiloh and she's all, "Nah, bro, not interested. Now engarde!" Consider that.

The Bradley County finance committee approved an amendment Wednesday for the County Clerk's Office to return funding that should have been placed in that department's reserve account.
The amendment requests $34,032 from the general fund that should have been put in the reserve fund. The amendment also included a $10,000 increase in revenue.
"There was a change in the way the state handles car tags and business taxes," said committee chairman Ed Elkins.
The local office will retain more of each fee and the clerk will be required to buy more supplies.
Funds given to the Clerk's Office from the amendment will be used to purchase computer hardware and supplies. The office's budget has also been changed to include these item as a separate line item.
An amendment for the Emergency Management Agency was also approved. The amendment accepted funds from organizations that rent use of EMA communication towers. The funds will be used to pay for use of 800 MHz radios.
"All of our departments are (using) or converting to these 800 MHz (radios)," said Bradley County Mayor D. Gary Davis.
When the conversion began, EMA volunteered to cover the cost of office using the technology.
Elkins said he wanted to know if the revenue had been previously designated for funding use of 800 MHz radios or if this was simply where the department wanted to use it.
He said he thought the revenue from the tower was needed to pay for the tower. Davis said he could have the department head give further explanation.
Also during the meeting:
- The committee approved a contract for inmate medical care. The contract will be reviewed by the county attorney and then signed by the mayor.
Davis said he had received a letter stating that a new contract had not been signed before the June 30 expiration of the current contract. He reviewed the Commission minutes and found the Commission had approved the contract, but sent it to the finance committee for review.
- Eloise Waters provided explanation of recent budget amendments that had been approved. The amendment was to provide salary funding for a part-time position. The additional revenue came from an agreement with Bradley County Juvenile Court to provide medical services.

Console setup software
Wheatstone V-DIP software: The control surface of each input module on Wheatstone's digital consoles can be automated via the V-DIP technology, and each channel's 8-character display will indicate title, cut number or router source selected. Yet even with the V-DIP protocol, the console's main controller retains the ability for local/remote override should an operator require manual control during other dayparts. The V-DIP software allows users to configure a Wheatstone digital console from the convenience of a laptop. The V-DIP Software eliminates the need for setting dipswitches manually during console configuration and has been designed into the D-700, D-70, Auditronics 220 and the D-600 digital consoles.

Christmas at Disneyland Videos and Information
Nov 18th
Here are a few great videos about what Disneyland does at Christmas time – this is a very special time of the year at the parks. Bookmark this page because we will add more as we find them.

The segment that shows how the Candy Canes are made is at 7:00 on the first video. I believe they make 3 batches a day, 45 each batch, starting on Nov 26 this year, so only around 1000 are made per season. You can see the Disneyland Candy Cane schedule here for 2010.

as noted by other posters, i too live in the stone age and
do not have cable by choice. we rely on a roof antenna that does a great job, until recently. had 1 TV in the living room, coaxil cable from antenna into the dvd/vcr, video cable from dvd/vcr into TV. got the 3 major stations, fox, the 2 pbs stations, and 3 independent stations in area. got a tv/dvd/vcr for the kids bedroom.
and last but not least,
thanks for any info or help that you might impart to improve the situation, my kids want their PBS and CW back diggerb |
Follow-Up Postings:
I can tell you that splitting coax like that can cause the problems you're experiencing, especially in marginal-signal areas. Cheap splitters (or unamplified ones) can reduce the signal level reaching each TV. Cheap TVs typically have cheap tuners, which may not be as sensitive as in days past (given that so many people are feeding their TVs cable signals). Call it the "perfect storm" for you. Things I would look at: |
thanks for the suggestion steve. the water is dripping like sap when you cut a grape vine it was just weird. i figured it was due to temperature extremes-- the part that was dripping was from the part that is in the warm part of the house-- the line from outside wasn't dripping. digger |
You need to replace the coax at the very least. I would do that first and then see if you need to try the other steps. |

Almond Soup Recipe
From Nuts!
By Elle Decor Staff
¼ lb. day-old, firmly textured bread
3 cloves very fresh garlic, peeled and stem end removed
5 oz. (1 cup) almonds, preferably Marcona, skinned
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 oz. green grapes, seeded if necessary
¼ cup crème fraîche
¾ cup water
2 tsp. sherry vinegar, or to taste
Sea salt and white pepper
3 to 4 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil
6 to 8 green grapes, seeded if necessary, cut in half
6 to 8 almonds, preferably Marcona, skinned and lightly toasted
Put the bread in a medium-size bowl and barely cover it with water. Let it sit for about 30 minutes, or until it is soft throughout. To drain the bread, pick it up by small handfuls and place it in the palm of one hand. Cover with the palm of your other hand so your hands are cupped, and squeeze very gently, slowly and firmly, so that you squeeze out the water without mashing the bread, allowing the bread to retain its integrity. The bread should be just slightly moist.
In the bowl of a food processor, purée the garlic, the almonds and the olive oil. Add the grapes, the drained bread, the crème fraîche and enough water to make a smooth purée about the consistency of heavy cream.
Drain the soup in a sieve or mesh strainer. (For a thicker, more textured soup, omit this step completely.) Season to taste with sherry vinegar, salt and white pepper. Chill, covered, for at least two hours before serving. (The soup can be made the night before you plan to serve it.)
To serve, adjust the seasoning, then transfer the soup to shallow soup bowls. Garnish each bowl with a drizzle of olive oil, two grape halves and an almond. Serves 6 to 8.

hello all, i have a red rio grapefruit that i planted a year ago. It was doing very well and a couple months ago it started dropping its leaves and turning yellow. I have fertilized it, i water it every 2 to 3 days, i have put mulch it, i have added gypsum and copperas (mineral for yellowing leaves). A local farmer said it was the water, too salty. It has rained pretty good in the past month or so and still no results. I also put buckets of water out for days to clear up any chlorine. I also create my own compost tea. Next to this tree i have a Persian lime and orange tree and they are doing perfect. Any ideas? ps the photo is about 2 months ago. its worse now. Only the top leaves remains. |

sdela, you don't mention where you live in the country? That helps us a lot. You are watering very frequently, what kind of soil do you have, clay, loam, sand, DG? Your tree looks pretty wet to me, you may be overwatering your tree, and you're now dealing with some soil fungus infection of the roots (Root Rot caused by Phytophthora). Copper would not be the micronutrient to apply for chlorosis, and I doubt salt in your water or soil would be causing this, that is not the usual symptom we see with too much salt. You usually see burning of the leaf tips. Please tell us where you live and what kind of soil you have, that would help us out quite a bit. Also, what are you fertilizing with, and how frequently. Patty S. |

I live in South Texas and the soil is clay. I fertilize it every 3 months with Ultragreen Citrus and Avocado Food. I also use compost tea, i spray it around the leaves. Thanks, |
- Posted by hoosierquilt z10a/23 Vista Calif (My Page) on Thu, May 30, 13 at 18:16
Okay, thinking we may have soggy citrus here. I would dig very carefully down below the soil to see how much water is being retained in your heavy clay soil. This may simply be an issue of too much water. Allow the tree to dry out a little bit, if you find that things are soggy down below the soil surface. Fertilizer sounds great, compost tea on the leaves should be fine, as long as it's not too concentrated. Patty S. |
- Posted by sdelafuente 9 (My Page) on Thu, May 30, 13 at 18:44
Well I usually let it dry a bit on the top soil before I water it. Not that I think it, I had a lemon tree before that and it died kind of the same. I was thinking it might be grubs eating the roots?!? Should I remove the mulch? |

And the compost tea is concentrated. I guess I will start diluting it. |

I believe Patty's thinking is spot on - "soggy citrus". Please let us know if you do an exploratory dig and what it reveals. I too am in heavy clay soil and am amazed at how long it retains moisture, and how long it takes to re-hydrate. I am still rather new to (young) Citrus in clay, and in my experience my small trees (that have been in the ground for nearly a year) appear to do better when the soil is allowed to cycle a bit. By "cycle" I mean allowed to dry slightly between soakings. For me that means: flat area = one to two watering/soakings a week; slope = every 2-4 days depending on temperatures. [the above assumes no rain]. I have found that letting the soil dry too much damages the roots. The clay soil shrinks when too dry and i believe the movement causes some of the roots to break/shear. BTW: note that your soil may be affected by how much your neighbor is watering! If he/she is dousing the lawn with lots of water, the soil near your tree may get some of that moisture. A suggestion: cut out all that grass well beyond the canopy. Please do update us with the recovery / progress pics and good luck! |

I haven't water it since last week. Waiting for a complete dry soil and I will start deep watering cycles weekly on this tree. I don't have neighbors on that side of the tree. its an alley. I do have a Persian lime tree and a citrus tree next to this tree but they are spaced about 4 to 5 feet away. The other trees are doing just fine. The lime tree has about 10 fruits on it and the citrus is flowering. This is one is the troublemaker. I will post any updates. Thanks for the responses Becauseican and Patty! |
Give your Rio Red plenty of room. Here's mine after 5 or 6 years. It's the one on the right, the other two were planted at the same time, and all were about the same size. |
- Posted by sdelafuente 9 (My Page) on Wed, Jun 26, 13 at 11:03
Here's an updated photo. Still havent seen much change. The leaves got a little greener. I water it about once a week. |
- Posted by hoosierquilt z10a/23 Vista Calif (My Page) on Wed, Jun 26, 13 at 11:17
Continue fertilizing. And, I am suspecting due to the amount of water in the soil and the general overall affect of your tree, you may have phytophthora going on in the soil (root rot). You can easily treat this with AgriFos (phosphorus acid). Apply in a concentration of 1 Tbsp per gallon. One application now, and a second application in 4 weeks. Be patient, it will take some time for the roots to recover and see new flush. You can find AgriFos on amazon.com. Excellent treatment, organic, very effective. I have finally had success with 3 of my trees that are planted in an area of my yard that has pockets of phytophthora, and I was on my 3 set of trees there until I finally ID'ed the issue. I am now seeing recovery after about 2 months after the application. Patty S. |
- Posted by sdelafuente 9 (My Page) on Thu, Jun 27, 13 at 10:39
I have ordered the Agrifos and it will be here on Monday. As soon as I get i will apply it. |
Hey Patty (hoosierquilt): Did you get my email? Thx P, |
- Posted by sdelafuente 9 (My Page) on Sun, Jun 30, 13 at 11:45
ok i got the agrifos yesterday. how do i apply it?also should i apply it to my other trees?(just for prevention) Thanks |
- Posted by sdelafuente 9 (My Page) on Mon, Jul 15, 13 at 11:38
Its been 15 days since I applied the agrifos treatment. Yesterday I was gardening and I noticed the tree had alot of tiny sprouting. All over the branches. I was just thinking about cutting off some of the branches so that it could start regrowing. Never mind now, lol!! Wow this stuff works awesome! Should i still continue applying it in 15 days? |
- Posted by hoosierquilt z10a/23 Vista Calif (My Page) on Mon, Jul 15, 13 at 21:38
Yes, absolutely. And, then treat at least once a year, especially in the spring, when temps are prime for growth of phytophthora. Patty S. |

Great, no be sure there is no grass under your tree, as it will complete for nitrogen with your little tree (and win). Also, be sure you're fertilizing your tree as well as applying AgriFos. That will help it to develop a nice canopy. Patty S. |
- Posted by poncirusguy none (My Page) on Wed, Jul 17, 13 at 12:09
phosphorus acid Thanks a million Patty sdelafuente looks just like my meiwa kumquat did a month ago. Now it looks great. So will yours. If you keep reading the citrus forum you will see answer to problems you will see in the future. You will still have problems you will have to ask about but your tree will be much stronger when they strike. Good luck |
- Posted by sdelafuente 9 (My Page) on Thu, Jul 25, 13 at 11:28
OK for some weird reason the tip of the branches are turning brown. On Tuesday, I clipped several of them off and now today there are more. What is causing it? Should I worry about it? Sal |
- Posted by sdelafuente 9 (My Page) on Fri, Jul 26, 13 at 21:51
I am another dosage with agrifos. Sprayed it all over the trunk and branches and dumped another 3 gallons in ground. I hope this saves it. |
- Posted by Becauseican 9b Danville E(SF) Ba (My Page) on Mon, Jul 29, 13 at 18:23
I think it might be a good idea to let the tree settle a bit. No pruning for a while. I see blooms and few/no leaves which tells me the tree thinks its dying; it wants to make seed. Be patient. The blooms might last as long as two to four months, or even longer, and then you should see new leaves develop. My guess is that your roots were damaged and the tree now needs time to regrow them. Check the soil, keep it a bit moist but not soggy. I had a few trees go through this and it is a slow process. It can take a year. Also advice above about continuing to fertilize... yes, and what seems to have worked well for me is the application of Foliage Pro - 1 Tablespoon per gallon, one gallon each week. I had been using Citrus-tone and Grow-Power, but the recent change to the once weekly FP application kicked things into gear. Good luck and please do update us! |

Thanks George! |

You are welcome! Patience and keeping a light moisture appears to have worked. As an example, the roots of my Valencia were severely damaged from a huge shot of (liquid) fertilizer and then letting them go dry. 80-90% of the leaves dropped and it went into a coma. It took 9 months before flower buds appeared this past April. It bloomed heavy but appeared to continue to decline and branches brown off. This week i see the first sign of new leaf growth. 12 months! I neglected to mention that i also added a bit of soil acidifier to the soil and vinegar (1 Tbsp/gal) to the FP application. This change appears to have got things growing within 1.5 weeks. I am trying to verify it across several other troubled plantings so will update when possible. However, initial observation appears to confirm. Unfortunately, I will never have enough data to determine if the soil acidifier or vinegar made the definitive difference. Having said that, multiple folks on this forum have had great success and I am thankful they have shared! |

Ravens: Decisions, Decisions
It's hard to repeat as NFL Champions. It's been nearly a decade since the last repeat, and only a handful of teams have ever done it.
The Ravens will have it even tougher than most.
Coming off their unexpected run to the Lombardi trophy, Baltimore GM Ozzie Newsome will have to figure out how to handle 13 unrestricted free agents and a handful of important restricted free agents while facing the prospect of being over the salary cap.
It's going to be tough, but this list should help Ozzie make some difficult decisions on his big name free agents.
The No-Brainers
There is no way the Ravens let Joe Flacco walk after the way he performed in the playoffs. The quarterback has entrenched himself among the best in the game, and it's pretty inconceivable that the Ravens would let him walk away.
Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks heading into the prime of their career don't hit the open market very often. The closest comparison is Drew Brees and his negotiations from last offseason. Brees was two seasons removed from winning a championship but had just completed a record-breaking season. He ended up with a five-year, $100 million deal at the age of 33. Flacco is fresh off his championship, had one of the best playoff runs in history and is only 28. The question isn't if Baltimore will re-sign Flacco, but for how much and how long the deal will be for.
With Ray Lewis retiring, the Ravens have a big hole to fill in the middle of their defense. And with few other viable replacements on the market, retaining Ellerbe is the best option for Baltimore. The 27-year-old played through pain during the Ravens Super Bowl run, and did so at a high level. Should they choose to let Ellerbe walk away, the Ravens would likely be forced to look to the draft to replace both he and Lewis. Brendon Ayanbadejo is still on the roster, but hasn't established himself as a starting-quality linebacker in the league and is already 36. Put it flatly, the Ravens aren't going to find anyone better than Ellerbe out there.
Tough Calls
The impending decision the Ravens will have to make regarding Ed Reed will likely be the toughest of the offseason. The legendary free safety has been flirting with retirement for years, but is apparently intent on continuing his career. With his resume, Reed can command a hefty contract for an aging player. On one hand, it's tough to picture Reed playing in any jersey except the purple and black. But the Ravens are already looking at having cap issues re-signing all their players, and are already deep at safety. It would be a bitter pill for Ravens' fans to swallow if Reed is allowed to walk, but it may be best for Baltimore's cap outlook if he does.
TE Dennis Pitta & TE Ed Dickson
Both members of the Ravens tight end duo will be restricted free agents this offseason, so Baltimore will have the option to bring back both. Led by the Patriots, two tight-end sets have become popular throughout the league, and in Pitta and Dickson the Ravens have two guys with very different skill sets. Dickson can be a punishing blocker with skills to catch the ball, while Pitta is one of Flacco's favorite targets. If they can work out friendly deals with both players, Baltimore would be wise to hold on to them. But if it comes down to one or the other, Flacco's rapport with Pitta should be the overriding factor.
Let Them Walk
With Lardarius Webb sidelined for much of the season, Williams stepped up and was the Ravens' most consistent cornerback in 2012. He's likely to be looking for a big contract coming off the championship year, and with Webb due to return in the fall the Ravens won't have as great a need for Williams, whether or not they can afford him.
Kruger showed the league he could be a top-notch pass rusher this season, with 9 regular season sacks and another 4.5 in the playoffs, and the Ravens' depleted defense needed his consistent pressure. But much like Williams, Kruger will have plenty of suitors. Assuming Terrell Suggs returns to full strength next season, the price tag on Kruger will likely be more than Baltimore will be willing to spend on their second-best pass rusher.
In 2011, McKinnie was a keystone on the Ravens' offensive line. 2012 was a different story though, as he was unable to keep himself on the starting unit. While McKinnie helped key the offensive line's resurgence in the playoffs, the Ravens should let him go, either replacing him from within or finding a younger, cheaper player on the free agent market or draft.

Before a preliminary vote next week, the Paso Robles City Council will allow citizens to once again speak their minds on the water rate issues facing the city.
For years the group 'Concerned Citizens for Paso Robles,' has tried to stop the city from imposing a water-rate hike. The hike would help pay for the Nacimiento Water Pipeline project.
Now, a new group is fighting back.
Water4Paso is working to build support from people who say they are willing to help pay.
Larry Lynch, co-chair of Water4Paso, says "We need these rates to go up right now, to get us through the hot summers."
According to the new group, in the newest water-rate adjustment proposal, the monthly $18 surcharge would disappear from customer's bills. Their new rate would depend on how much water the customer actually uses. "It's an equitable way to pay for it," says Lynch. "Everybody pays for what they use, if they want to conserve water and use less, they'll pay less."
But 'Concerned Citizens for Paso Robles' says not so fast.
In addition to the rate adjustment, it has other issues.
"This project is a means of promoting growth here within the city," says CCPR spokesperson John Borst. "That was also said or certainly implied in the environmental impact report."
Borst says the water from the pipeline project is for new development, not current citizens. "We believe, Concerned Citizens for Paso Robles, that new development should be paying 100 percent."
But Lynch says that issue needs to be brushed aside to focus on the task at hand. "Development is an issue that we need to deal with on anther basis. We need the water for the residents here right now." Lynch says if it weren't for conservation efforts over the summer months, the city would be facing a water crisis. "Water is going to be golden in the years to come, particularly in Paso where we need it."
Borst disagrees. He says if Paso Robles needs water, it's because of new development. The amount of water that would come from the pipeline project is way more than needed. "Current citizens do not need 4,000 acre feet of water, so why should we be paying for it?"
CCPR also believes imposing a fee is illegal, and that the appropriate way to pay for the project if the city is intent on having its residents pay, is through a tax. That way, residents could say what they really want by going to the ballot box. CCPR has filed a lawsuit against the city.
Water4Paso hopes the community will support the city council at Tuesday's meeting. CCPR says a protest form is available on their website, www.paso218.org. The group says that if a majority protests, the city can't pass the latest proposal.
The meeting is Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. at Paso Robles City Hall.

Sweet Success
A cake-maker prepares to share her craft
It started with the Facebook photos. When Nelly Garcia was an undergrad in Brigham Young University's online program, she posted some shots of a wedding cake she had baked for a friend. Between her lifelong love of baking and some classes she was taking for fun, Garcia had gained some serious sugar skills. "Then my other friends started calling and asking for wedding cakes. I decided to advertise as a wedding-cake bakery and got a lot of phone calls," says Garcia, now 27, founder of Austin-based Rocheli Patisserie.
Even before the advertising, Garcia, along with her mom (who was an executive chef in Monterrey, Mexico, before the family moved to Texas 12 years ago) and younger sister were turning out 15 cakes a weekend from their apartment kitchen, "which was a terrible mess," she says.
This past June, after earning her degree (and just before her classes started for BYU's online MBA program), Garcia began actively spreading the word about Rocheli through social media. Now the trio spends every weekend in marathon baking sessions, turning out 50 to 60 cakes.
"I start Friday at around 10 a.m. and finish at about 4 a.m. on Saturday," Garcia says. "We work overnight, then wake up at 7 a.m. on Saturday and deliver our cakes. We're usually done on Saturday at 7 or 8 p.m."
Her cakes start at $100 and have run up to $1,600 (for a wedding cake that had "a lot of details and bling-bling" and took 14 hours to complete). "I do love the extravagant ones," she says. "The harder they make it, the more creative I get."
The $5,000 prize that comes with the College Entrepreneur of the Year award will go toward a commercial mixer and video equipment for her next project: an online baking school. "I would like to give classes, to grow as much as I can and have franchises in different cities," Garcia says.But that's not all for Garcia. "I really would like for it to grow and not just be a bakery, but be an actual brand."
Once again, demand created the potential revenue stream. Living in Austin, Garcia has to travel to major cities to take classes in the latest baking techniques. She wants to make the process easier for others--especially those in Mexico (though she also has her eye on the rest of the world, naming Argentina and Spain to start). The recorded video classes will cost around $50, and Garcia plans to sell and ship supply kits for each class. She also wants to open a bakery in downtown Austin.
Launching a business while getting a degree has its challenges. "It's sad at times because I can see that there are always pictures on Facebook [of friends] in Vegas and having fun," Garcia says. "That's something I've never really had. I know I'll see the results in a few years from now. Hopefully."
Name three personality traits that have helped you become a successful entrepreneur.
Passion, determination and drive.
What is your motto?
Let excellence be your brand.
When you need to learn about something, how do you go about it?
I am a complete teach-yourself kind of person. There are books for everything! But when it comes to issues such as Texas laws or angel investors, I usually call governmental agencies such as the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, SBA, etc. I am not afraid of asking questions and making good use of their free workshops.
Do you consider yourself a risk-taker?
I definitely am. But I don't see the risk of what I can lose. I see how much I can gain. I seek opportunity, not security.
Are you a list-maker or a make-it-up-as-you-go type?
Definitely a list-maker. I have at least four notebooks that I carry with me all the time. Not only do I make lists but I group them into "urgent," "important," "follow up" and "general ideas."
Do you like surprises?
Yes. I like the thrill of the unknown--not knowing what tomorrow might bring, but knowing that whatever it may be, I am prepared for it.

In "The Wi$dom Path: Money, Spirit, and Life," a Tapestry of Faith program
I wanted to change the world. But I have found that the only thing one can be sure of changing is oneself. — Aldous Huxley, British author (Brave New World)
In this workshop, participants craft a personal theology of wealth and money and set a plan for sustainable, spiritually healthy financial practice at home, at work, and in their congregation. The workshop revisits prompt questions from previous workshops and guides participants to articulate a "credo" about money which states their personal beliefs, values, and intentions. Then, participants plan how they will transform their intentions into actions and make a commitment to follow through.
A week before the workshop, contact participants and remind them to bring with them any written, artistic, and/ or creative expressions and reflections from prior workshops or prepare some thoughts about their hopes, dreams, and intentions for their financial lives going forward.
You and workshop participants may decide as an alternate or additional activity to plan and lead a worship service which brings the spiritual work of The Wi$dom Path program into a community religious celebration.
Before leading the workshop, review the Accessibility guidelines in the program Introduction under Integrating All Participants.

Shoppers should make the five-minute drive down Büyükdere Caddesi to the open-air Kanyon Shopping center, where they can find a good pair of walking shoes to help conquer Istanbul's hilly terrain, and the more adventurous can head over Bosphorus Bridge to the city's Asian side and browse the shops along Kadıköy, Üsküdar and Bağdat streets.
Room to Book:
At 398 square feet, Junior Suites are nearly three times the size of the standard rooms while remaining in same general price range.
Insider Tip:
Just a 20-minute walk from the hotel, Istanbul Cevahir on Büyükdere Caddesi occupies six floors and over six million square feet of space. While the center's 300-plus retailers and roller coaster are impressive, the true must-see is Cevahir's glass ceiling and the 118-square-foot clock it supports.
