US Firm's Teargas Used at Tahrir Square
November 23, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
Egypt's military junta fired CS gas cartridges made by Combined Systems Inc of Pennsylvania, say demonstrators
By Jack Shenker in Cairo and Luke Harding
The teargas used by interior ministry troops in Cairo's Tahrir Square is supplied by a US company. Demonstrators say cartridges retrieved from the scene are branded with the name and address of Combined Systems Inc (CSI).
The firm is located in Jamestown, Pennsylvania. It specialises in supplying what it calls "crowd control devices" to armies and "homeland security agencies" around the world. It also manufactures lethal military equipment.
Protesters say the CS gas seems more powerful than that used by Egyptian police during the country's last popular uprising in February. "It's stronger, it burns your face, it makes you feel like your whole body is seizing up," one witness said. He added: "It doesn't seem to be combated by Coke or vinegar."
Experts told the Guardian the gas was likely to be standard CS gas, but the effects could be exacerbated by physical exertion.
As well as the effects of the teargas, protesters have suffered grave injuries to their heads and faces from rubber bullets. There are also reports of live ammunition being used. Dozens of people have been taken to makeshift hospitals after inhaling the choking gas fired by the Central Security Forces.
The export of teargas to foreign law enforcement agencies is not prohibited. CSI has also sold teargas to the Israeli police, where it has been deployed against Palestinian demonstrators, as well as, reportedly, to the regime of Tunisia's ousted dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali. Nevertheless, the revelation that people are being gassed and hurt by US-manufactured projectiles is embarrassing for the Obama administration.
"We have seen the illegitimate and indiscriminate use of teargas," Heba Morayef, a researcher with Human Rights Watch in Cairo, said, of Egypt's most recent street protests, as well as the original revolution in February. "There are a few cartridges from Italy but the vast majority are from the USA."
She said teargas did not constitute direct military aid, since it was sold to the interior ministry rather than the army. But she added: "Ideally governments should be verifying who they are selling teargas to."
Morayef said the gas was having a devastating effect on its victims, with everyone left choking, and hundreds forced to seek medical treatment. Protesters have also retrieved 12mm rubber bullet cartridges made in Italy. "One person I know ended up coughing up blood," she said. Human Rights Watch intended to examine the canisters to discover exactly what kind of gas was being used, she added.
Alastair Hay, professor of environmental toxicology at Leeds University, said police in Cairo were almost certainly using conventional CS gas. "It's a standard riot control agent which has been around for a very long time," he said.
Hay said its effects were extremely unpleasant. "It's an eye and respiratory tract irritant, largely. It will also cause skin irritation."
The chemical compound used in CS gas – 2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile – was "perfectly legitimate", with many commercial companies involved in selling it, and domestic governments willing to make use of it in riot situations, he added.
US army trials showed CS gas had a far more serious effect on people taking part in physical activity than those sitting passively, sometimes leaving its victims needing intensive care afterwards. The way to get rid of it was "constant irrigation" to wash away the affected areas, Hay said.
There was no immediate comment from CSI.
The company's website says it was founded in 1981. It adds: "Combined Systems Inc (CSI) is a US-based firm that supports military forces and law enforcement agencies around the world. CSI is a premier engineering, manufacturing and supply company of tactical munitions and crowd control devices globally to armed forces, law enforcement, corrections and homeland security agencies.
"[…] In addition to its military products, CSI markets its innovative line of less lethal munitions, tactical munitions and crowd-control products to domestic law enforcement agencies under its law enforcement brand name, CTS. CSI also supports its wide base of international military and law enforcement customers with its line of non-lethal munitions."
Tax Dollars Used Against Islam and Muslims
July 21, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Dr. Aslam Abdullah, TMO
A few weeks ago, a former Palestinian Muslim, who is now an ultra conservative Christian equated Islam with terrorism describing the two inseparable. There is nothing new in what the so called former PLO terrorist said or says on a regular basis. In the last 10 years, several individuals claiming to speak on behalf of Christianity, Judaism and Hinduism have spoken openly against Islam and Muslim Americans in particular. Expressing one's opinion is everyone's right and that right must be preserved even if it is based on misconception or lies.
What is problematic is that the Homeland Security invited the so called terrorist-turned Christian to an official event attended by more than 300 law enforcement officials in South Dakota. This is a violation of our constitution that clearly indicates that the people's tax dollars would not be spent in either promoting or targeting a particular religion. The so called expert was paid 5,000 plus other expenses. In other word, the our tax dollars were spent on supporting someone whose anti-Islam agenda is well known. If the Homeland Security had invited a Muslim American to counter his argument, one could have argued that the purpose of the event was to have a balanced perspective. However, by giving money and podium to an avid anti-Islam fanatic, the Homeland Security has revealed its hatred of Islam, a crime which is in breach of the constitution and which deserves to be thoroughly investigated.
Ten after the September 11 attack, Muslim Americans are still deemed unfit by many law enforcement agencies or agents to be partners in the country's fight against terrorism. This policy or attitude is hurting the country and wasting its tax dollars money. Seemingly, the Homeland Security and other federal and state agencies have wasted millions of dollars in rewarding anti-Muslim and anti-Islam experts on terrorism by giving them legitimacy and authenticity through invitation to officially organized events for state and federal agents.
Most of the so called experts on Islam belong to several religious groups who anti-Islam position is well known. They use the Tax payers money and resources to promote their religious agenda and to make money for themselves. The country does not benefit from their expertise.
One is entitled to his or her opinion on Islam or any other faith but when that opinion is given legitimacy by agencies that are meant to uphold the constitution and the citizens, then it deserves the attention of all those who are serious about the sanctity and supremacy of the constitution. As far as opinions against Islam are concerned, we Muslims must be aware of the task that we have at hand, i.e. challenging the misconception and informing the country and the world that there is another side of the explanation that can be offered only by those practice this faith and who understands its in and out better than those so called experts who have found a new opportunity to mint money from the new venture that we can term as "Islamic Threat to the West."
Editorial-Arrests of Florida Imams Require Serious Investigation
May 19, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Dr. Aslam Abdullah, TMO Editor-in-Chief
Two imams, (Muslim religious leaders) and four of their family members were arrested in Florida for allegedly sending money to the Taliban in Pakistan and supporting their terror network. The two were naturalized US citizens. The FBI and other law enforcement agencies rightly explained that the indictment was not against a community or religion but against individuals. The authorities have the recorded conversations of the two imams with the Taliban contacts in Pakistan and have the information about the money transfer between 2008 and 2010.
This is a serious issue and all mosque managements in the US need to take measures that that spiritual leadership positions must not be misused to promote personal political agenda. Regardless of how the situation is explained, the fact is that an average American would find it hard to trust a Muslim spiritual leader for his words. In his view, not only the individuals but people and institutions who support these individuals are guilty. However, illogical this perspective may be, but it cannot be overlooked.
It is the responsibility of mosque management to ensure that people who are given the responsibility to lead the community in spiritual matters are not pursuing some hidden political agenda. It is important that before hiring them, their background is checked and their understanding of religion is verified. There is nothing wrong in taking the help of the law enforcement agencies in having background check of individuals. The religious identity of a person is not a guarantee that his understanding of religion is sound or his past is free from actions that are contrary to religion.
The two imams of Florida should not have been at the position they were appointed. How could such people who have a duality in their character ever lead a people to the correct understanding of their faith. Does their behavior not confirm the fear of many non-Muslim Americans that Muslim Americans lie in order to promote their hidden agenda of destroying America from inside?
These sort of religious fanatics must be rooted out of the community. In fact, those who invite such people to America to lead the community in the masajid must be investigated too.The faith cannot be held hostage by the people who have nothing but hatred in their heart, two of the diseases that Islam demands must be fought.
Injustice must be fought but not through violent means. Yes, what is happening in Palestine is wrong and what is happening in Pakistan and Afghanistan is wrong. But the wrong can not be corrected by doing more wrong. Those among the Muslim community who promote hatred and anger and violence must realize that they have no place in the community. They will be challenged and thrown out of Muslim places of worship as they do not represent the faith and the example of the leader of the faith, the Prophet (s).
9 Israelis Suspected of Scamming Millions from U.S. Pensioners
July 16, 2009 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Yuval Goren, Haaretz Correspondent
The Tel Aviv police fraud squad arrested on Sunday nine Israelis on suspicion of netting millions of dollars from U.S. pensioners in a so-called Nigerian scam.
Police raided an office in the city, which is suspected to have been the nerve center of the dodgy enterprise. The defendants, all in their 20s and 30s, allegedly phoned American pensioners, told them they had won the lottery and asked them for a fee of several thousand dollars for the transfer of the prize money, which in fact never existed.
The investigation has been conducted in conjunction with U.S. law enforcement agencies.
Last week, it was reported that the American agencies had urged Israel Police to step up the extradition procedure of another ten Israelis who were suspected of scamming $2 million in similar means.
Most of the ten defendants in the advance-fee scam, which was unveiled by police last September, are in their early twenties, without a criminal record.
The first hearing in their extradition plea took place last week, after a New York law enforcement official said many of the victims are old and frail, and urged the Israeli police to bring the alleged offenders to imminent justice.

Where there are mountains with more than 20" of annual precipitation, one can expect to find conifer forests. The cone-producing pines, firs and spruce trees dominate these forests. These evergreen trees, with needle-like waxy leaves, are adapted for a cold, dry, climate with a short growing season. These trees have adapted to an environment that has natural cycles of fire and insect infestation. .
Topography and climate are the 2 factors that most influence the growth of forests. The east, central, and southern parts of the Rockies experience cold, dry conditions, and the northwest portion of the state enjoys a more moist and cool maritime (influenced by the ocean) climate. These conditions influence the plants you can expect to find growing in our montane ecosystem.
Ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa), the state tree of Montana, separates the grasslands from the Douglas-fir forests. Shrubs that grow with ponderosa are snowberry, Oregon grape, and chokecherry.
Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) trees are typically found in the moist soils on north-facing mountain slopes. These trees can be found growing at moderate elevations up to 5,500' in the northwest, and up to 7,500' in the southern mountains. The under-story species usually growing among these trees are ninebark, snowberry, and kinnikinnick.
Lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) often grows in dense stands, at elevation ranges from 3,000' to 8,500'. Its name originates from the fact that native people used these tall and straight growing trees as poles for their teepees (lodges). Lodgepole has adapted to an environment where fires are common. The cone of the lodgepole may stay unopened on the tree for years, but as soon as exposed to the heat of a fire, will open and spread seeds onto the burned soils.
Western larch (Larix occidentalis) can be found growing from 2,000' to 7,000' in elevation in moist locations. These conifers actually lose their needles every fall just like the deciduous trees. Larch is a large, slow-growing tree that can live over 500 years.
Subalpine fir (Abies lasiocarpa) ranges from 3,500' to tree-line. This conifer grows in a variety of conditions including extremely cold and dry climates. It is associated with lodgepole, white pine, and spruce.
Aspen (Populus tremuloides) are usually found in moist locations along streams or in spring-fed groves near conifers. They are easily identified by their golden fall leaves. These trees are important to many kinds of wildlife from birds to elk.
Common Snowberry (Symphoricarpos spp) can be found in many low to moderate elevation forests and open areas. This plant has a fruit-like berry that is white and has a waxy covering (hence the name).
Thimbleberry (Rubus parviflorus) gets its name from the red thimble-like fruit. This plant can be found from the grasslands up to the high elevations of the subalpine zone.
Mallow-leaf ninebark (Physocarpus malvaceus) is a shrub typically found in the Ponderosa/Douglas-fir tree zone. It produces a reddish egg-shaped, berry-like fruit.
Woods' rose (Rosa woodsii) is a woody shrub that produces pink flowers. These flowers mature into fruits (rose hips) that are high in vitamin C. Bears often feed on the fruits in the fall.
Beargrass (Xerophyllum tenax) is an evergreen, grass-like plant that produces a tall stem to which clusters of white flowers bloom in the summer. Beargrass is found throughout the montane forest up to the subalpine zone.
Western meadowrue (Thalictrum occidentale) is a member of the buttercup family and found from the foothills to the subalpine zone.
Idaho fescue (Festuca idahoensis) grows in conifer forests at altitudes from 5,000' to 8,000' where there is 15" to 19" of precipitation. It is an important food item for elk in the spring and summer.
Elk sedge (Carex geyeri), also called Geyer's sedge, is common on moist forested and open slopes. These sedges are also found on dry meadows at moderate to high elevations.
Scientists have grouped Montana forests into the following forest types, using dominant tree species as the determining characteristic: Douglas-fir, lodgepole pine, ponderosa pine, spruce-fir, western larch, Engelmann spruce, grand fir, limber pine. The Douglas-fir, lodgepole pine, and ponderosa pine forest types combined total over two-thirds of the state's forest lands.
Streams, rivers, and wet areas of the mountains provide a site for riparian plants such as aspen, cottonwood and maple. These areas are important habitats for many wildlife species.

In the introduction to the directional derivative and the gradient, we illustrated the concepts behind the directional derivative. The main points were that, given a multivariable scalar-valued function $f : \R^n \to \R$ (confused?),
- the directional derivative $D_{\vc{u}}f$ is a generalization of the partial derivative to the slope of $f$ in a direction of an arbitrary unit vector $\vc{u}$,
- the gradient $\nabla f$ is a vector that points in the direction of the greatest upward slope whose length is the directional derivative in that direction, and
- the directional derivative is the dot product between the gradient and the unit vector: $D_{\vc{u}}f = \nabla f \cdot \vc{u}$.
This introduction is missing one important piece of information: what exactly is the gradient? How can we calculate it from $f$? It's actually pretty simple to calculate an expression for the gradient, if you can remember what it means for a function to be differentiable.
What does it mean for a function $f(\vc{x})$ to be differentiable at the point $\vc{x}=\vc{a}$? The function must be locally be essentially linear, i.e., there must be a linear approximation \begin{align*} L(\vc{x}) = f(\vc{a}) + Df(\vc{a})(\vc{x}-\vc{a}) \end{align*} that is very close to to $f(\vc{x})$ for all $\vc{x}$ near $\vc{a}$. The definition of differentiability means that, for all directions emanating out of $\vc{a}$, $f(\vc{x})$ and $L(\vc{x})$ have the same slope. We can therefore calculate the directional derivatives of $f$ at $\vc{x}$ using $L$ rather than $f$.
Using the definition of directional derivative, we can calculate the directional derivative of $f$ at $\vc{a}$ in the direction of $\vc{u}$: \begin{align*} D_{\vc{u}}f(\vc{a}) &= D_{\vc{u}}L(\vc{a}) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{L(\vc{a}+h\vc{u}) - L(\vc{a})}{h}\\ &= \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{hDf(\vc{a})\vc{u}}{h} = \lim_{h \to 0}~ Df(\vc{a})\vc{u} = Df(\vc{a})\vc{u}. \end{align*} Since $Df(\vc{x})$ is a $1 \times n$ row vector and $\vc{u}$ is an $n \times 1$ column vector, the matrix-vector product is a scalar. We could rewrite this product as a dot-product between two vectors, by reforming the $1 \times n$ matrix of partial derivatives into a vector. We denote the vector by $\nabla f$ and we call it the gradient. We obtain that the directional derivative is \begin{align*} D_{\vc{u}}f(\vc{a}) = \nabla f(\vc{a}) \cdot \vc{u} \end{align*} as promised.

I have a bunch of old tools- lots of shovels, spades, a hay rake...
I'd like to decorate them up to either gift or resell or keep... you know how that goes. I don't want to paint them. I searched, and saw an old post on mosaic -ing a shovel, and will consider that! any other ideas? I'm thinking 'something' with grapevine??? mj |

This was an old cultivator & some insulators that I attached to an old barn board to make a "rack" for hanging garden tools or jacket/hat/etc....I sold it at Farmer's Mrkt. I've seen birdhouses attached to old rakes (flimsy kind) turning the rake upside down so the handle can be stuck in the ground or attached to a post or gate or something. Have fun! Jeanne S. |

My mom's boyfriend gave her potted tulips for Easter. Because I have a cat who is a trouble maker and an older kitten still in training, the tulips have to stay in the basement. I told my mom I will plant them in the garden when we know the cold weather is done for the year. However, everything I've read says to wait until after the flowers die before planting. My question is how soon can I plant these? We don't get to enjoy them unless one of us is doing laundry or I am getting gardening supplies out of the basement. I can't set them on the front porch since there are a few neighbor kids who I'm sure would take them home as a gift to their mother. The tulips don't get much sun in the basement, if any, and it is fairly damp down there. The temperature is supposed to drop Thursday night/Friday morning, then go back up to normal spring temperatures. If I can, I'd like to plant the tulips this weekend. |
Follow-Up Postings:
No reason not to plunge the entire mass into the ground and give a good soak ASAP. They may or may not flower next year. Only certain groups of tulips are reliable naturalizers. I have had a dbl. lavender for at least 6 yrs. that will bloom every odd year or so. |
In zone 6 a lot more tulips are reliable than zone 9. 1) let the plants die down naturally (outside is fine) |

Electronic Research Administration
Electronic Research Administration (ERA) is the general term to describe a series of new trends associated with: the identification of new funding opportunities; the submission of grant applications; the review of grant proposals; and the management of subsequent grant and contract awards, all conducted via the Internet. ERA is rapidly taking the place of traditional means of correspondence in the research community.
The Federal Financial Assistance Management Improvement Act of 1999 (P.L. 106-107) required a collaborative effort of the 26 federal funding agencies to streamline and simplify the award and administration of federal grants. Planning by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in coordination with federal funding agencies has been ongoing since 1999, although the effects of the implementation have only begun to affect the grant recipients. In Federal Fiscal Year 2006 Grants.gov became the government-wide portal for proposal submissions. Each funding agency was required to have a percentage of their funding opportunities with required proposal submission through Grants.gov. We have seen from the implementation of the Act the relocation of A-110 to 2CFR 215 as a step to relocating the circulars as guidance to federal regulation.
Although the Act will sunset at the end of this federal fiscal year, it is believe there will be several additional implementations under the P.L. 106-107 umbrella. The relocation of A-110 is expected to be the first of several as the government intends to move all OMB circulars to 2 CFR. The simplification initiative's objectives are: to move all agency regulations that implement the OMB guidance into Subtitle B of Title 2, and to adopt a government-wide guidance to replace the common rules that each agency publishes separately. Several of our federal agencies are in the process of implementing the new Federal Financial Report in anticipation of OMB's approval of the form to replace the SF-269 & SF-272. The federal agencies are also working together to establish a standard award format and standard language for award content.
Considering the effort of the federal government on pre-award management in the past 7 years, the general conclusion is a government-wide post award initiative next. The National Science Foundation, in anticipation of coming initiatives, has already begun work on a new post award management system that will allow grantees post award management of grants funded be several agencies. Currently this partnership is only with USDA CSREES, however the NSF's intent appears to be that Research.gov becomes the government-wide post award management system much like Grants.gov is the pre-award system. The movement of UA to a Document Imaging System will be a wonderful complement to the national movement to electronic research administration.
After the initiation of an action by the PI through one of these electronic systems, OGCA handles electronic submissions to sponsors on behalf of the University. If you are ever in doubt regarding an electronic submission system, contact your OGCA Grant Technician. For all electronic submissions, the PI must send a Restricted Fund Request or Notification Form with the endorsement of his or her Departments Fiscal Officer and Dean or Director before the request can be submitted.

Peavey did a good job on these guys. This is not the cheap rubbish that many associate the Peavey name with. The Radial Pro is a breath of fresh air in drum design. The concept is completely correct, & they sound superior to almost anything out there IMO.
As some of you might know, I'm in the process of designing a leading edge drum kit, & It's being built by Dean at Guru Drumworks. Our design echos some of the Radial Pro design principals, but takes them to a whole new level.
Congratulations on your stunning kit. I'd buy them in a heartbeat!

Has anyone seen this plant in their Wal-Mart from Costa Farms? Gosh, it is extremely colorful and I like the leaves more than any other Croton. Sorry, no picture. Maybe I'll take a picture soon. Susan |

Man, wish CF would list their species the way EA does. Is the one you saw the same one EA is selling by that name? The plant pictured at EA looks just like one I had about 15 years ago, pic below, but not like the pics that come up when I google images of: Croton 'Florida' Either way, I agree the leaves are pretty!! Sorry this old pic is kind of fuzzy, digital cameras have come a long way, baby! |

No, different. That picture looks like the crotons I'm used to seeing around. This one has half solid yellow and some reds and the leaf texture is different. |

Lots to choose from. Forgot to say, if they are at a WM near me, I wouldn't have seen it. Trying to not look at plants until we finish building front porch and back deck. Hard to (not) do this time of year! |

Oh my goodness, have never seen such a mess in my life! Can someone please steer me in the right direction??
Our TV only has one connector place in the back. We have a converter box, but were not yet using it, since we seemed to pick up more channels without it (albeit snowy).
Meantime, we had a splitter connected that we'd alternate cables to watch either the VCR or the DVD.
Okay, so now, just for the heck of it, I disconnected the splitter and only have the converter box cabled to the TV. Nice picture, and we have 4 more channels, woo hoo! Big question: how can I hook up EVERYTHING? Plus, make the VCR so that we could record a program, if desired? Is there any certain order, as to which should be connected to the TV first? (I assume that would be the converter box?)
I was thinking a 4-way splitter, but still would not be sure about the VHS recording factor.... |
Follow-Up Postings:
You will need to get an A/B switch and maybe a cable or two. Here goes: Cable from outside to DTV tuner in. DTV tuner out to VCR in. VCR out to A input on A/B switch. DVD out to RF adapter in. RF adapter out to B input on A/B switch. A/B switch out to TV in. Choose A on A/B switch to watch DTV or VCR. Choose B on A/B switch to watch DVD. |

I'm just now getting back on here. Thank you for the quick reply. I was so excited yesterday evening, as I'd somehow managed getting everything hooked up and working, was almost jumping up and down with joy and disbelief! It only took 2 MORE cables and a little splitter thing from Dollar Tree! However, I'm going to print out your directions right now and go fiddle with it some more, as I do believe your method will eliminate some of the cables. I am still trying to figure out something, though: the VCR... how can I get it so that it will record a program off TV, if desired? I thought perhaps, if such a thing exists... a cable with a male on one end and two males on the other, so that the pigtail one could be connected to both the VCR in and out? I called RAdio Shack, but was told they don't have those, so this morning I added two MORE cables and another of those little doo-dads, and it 'worked', but needs major tweaking, as there's too much interference. Thank you so much!:) |
- Posted by twinklenose (My Page) on Wed, Jan 7, 09 at 19:19
Oh, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! You are so awesome! I followed your directions to the letter, and, not only have you eliminated all the extra cables and doo-dads, but, THE VCR RECORDS--AND--we've inherited 3 more channels!! Yippee!! Oh, I feel so 21st century, ha!! Free TV!!:) |
Enjoy! |

I thought I would jump on the plum bandwagon by asking which kind of plum you would prefer to grow and why: asian plums or hybrid plums?
(I have an ulterior motive in that I want to add two more plums to my yard and don't know which way I should lean.) On the upside all of my fruit trees made it through the winter. The pear even started blooming for the first time today even though one apple is barely budding out leaves. |

If you fill in your hardiness zone in main page we can all answer you more precisely in what to add to your plums you already have when you give us the name/s. |
Oh sorry I thought I had done that right in my profile. Its 2a to 2b |
Twyla- no expert here in fact just a newb to the north as far as fruit trees go but last year I planted a Pipestone plum and it made the winter. Recently I found out it needed a pollinator so planted a Toka (been in the ground 3 days) so hears hoping. I just wanted my yard to produce and the abundance of quack grass made a regular garden impossible so I started to make the switch to trees. |
Bought a Fofonoff(Homesteader) and Ikanova from Little Tree Nursery today (hopefully my co-worker is able to pick them up). Has anyone had eny experience with Little Tree or these two? |
My Ivanofka is growing well. Lots of roots. It is still too small to fruit though so I cannot comment further. Fruit size is about 3cm aoording to the U of S site. "This cultivar bears fruit 3 cms in diameter dark red/purple in colour (with bloom). It has a milder flavour and firmer flesh than the above. However it is not quite as winter-hardy. Either Ptitsin #5 or Ptitsin #3 is a good pollinizer for it." I have not purchased plums from Little Tree nursery. I can say they are hands down my favourite nursery for information. If I was closer I'd go more often. Very good people to talk too. You won't go wrong. |

An idea comes up when you have a passion about something you really wanna try for, and do something about it. I started learning about this potential carcinogen called APFO in my hometown, Parkersburg, West Virginia. They actually discovered this chemical is not only in the drinking water, but in the aquatic environment as well. I wanted to see what I can do as a chemistry student to help out my community. I started doing this by collecting samples from rivers in my area. My plan is to take the sample back to the lab, boil it out, and see how much of this chemical has made it all the way up to my college town as well. The first thing I wanted to look for was a step of quantifying this chemical. The revelation was discovered that APFO does foam in water. By measuring the foam height, I can actually determine the concentration of this chemical, not only in the environment, but also in the drinking water as well. And what's really nifty about this project is that I can use this as a lab study or I can even work at it in an environmental setting. I think the most expensive part of it is the bottle, which is about 60 cents. It allows people in my community to test their own water just to see whether or not this potential carcinogen is in their drinking water. I've started doing some research to see what is it exactly, and I found that APFO is a surfactant or a surface-active agent, and when it's placed in water, it dissociates. So you have your molecule, this dissociates into positive ions and negative ions. As the water passes through my device, they are attracted to the electrical current caused by the positive and negative electrodes. This is activated carbon, acting as a secondary catcher, and this chemical is removed a hundred percent. Nobody is trying to use this device, this idea for removal of APFO. I hope that in the next 5 years, I'll make my design more efficient, get the flow-through rate increased, put it into industrial settings, so that we'll have a cleaner environment that we can go and fish from. Eat the fish. Science is what you feel you can get back to the community and make it a better place. Making life better and that's what science is all about.

Having already looked at the HD 5830 in reference form, it was time to see what our retail card could do when combined with the reference model we've already looked at. Over the past few months and clearly the past few releases, we've had a look at all the models in Crossfire and have been extremely happy with the performance boost that the setups gave us.
The HD 5830 clearly covers a price range that wasn't present and if you agree or disagree with how the model performs to the price, hopefully today when we add two of the bad boys together everything will change.
Out of the box the Sapphire doesn't look like our reference card. How it really changes, however, is something we'll get into more detail on later. For now let's check out the package and see if Sapphire can wow us with the latest model from ATI.

What pre-emergent do I need to apply in the fall for dandelions, henbit, and poa annua? I know I need to use dimension or amaze for spring weeds like crabgrass, but not sure about fall/winter weeds. Would I use the same thing? |
Follow-Up Postings:
The fall preemergent is really only affective for winter annuals like poa annua. I think more important than what you use, is when you apply it. Poa annua germinates when soil temps drop below 70 degrees. It's better to be a little early, than a little late for the late summer/fall drop. Most of the preemergents do a good job, but it might be a good idea to pick one that lasts the longest to prevent any poa annua germination. Dimension lasts 120 days (according to the brochure) and I think Halts lasts 60-90 days. Barricade can last from 90-240 days depending on application rates, so technically you could be protected for 8 months, but I would probably just apply enough for 6 months, and reapply in the spring. |
Well that doesn't really answer my question at all. I already know about timing and all. I just want to know specific brands that control winter or fall weed seeds. Maybe Texas Weed can chime in. |
Most preemergents are non-selective. The three I listed will prevent most weed seeds from germinating. Go with Dimension or Barricade. |

Hi all: Purchased BRYANT Evolution EXTREME Series comfort system Evolution variable speed condenser/ heat pump 280ANV048/ 280ANV036
Evolution variable speed modulating 97% afue gas furnace 987MA426017/987MA60100V21 High efficiency evaporator coil CNPVP061/CNPVP037 BRYANT EVOLUTION 7 day digital programmable thermostats Evolution electronic zoning for upper level PURON Environmentally safe refrigerant. Just installed and the unit in the basement is literally dripping water from the part of the supply duct connected to the unit and through the air handler. This does not seem right and I think it is going to lead to big problems. The installer says he wants to open up the air handler and add insulation. This does NOT sound like a good solution to me. Anyone have any ideas as to why this would be happening and what the fix is? Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
What is the humidity level in the basement? I suspect it is high and you are seeing condensation on the cold duct work. You may need to install a dehumdifier in the basement. I would try this before adding insulation. |
I had a similar problem two years ago with a new basement Carrier installation. The instant fix was to insulate - it took about an hour and was 100% effective - and done at no charge. I had added a return in my basement concurrent with the install and in a week or so the humidity level in my basement had dropped nearly 10%. The addition of a basement dehumidifier will have a measureable impact on your monthly electric bill. |
That is sure odd, I would try insulating too. You could also use a dehumidifier. We use one and it sucks so much condensation and water out of the air. Our basement used to be a bit stinky, not anymore. Let us know how you make out if you insulate the area. |

How we cite our quotes:
Good evening…Yes, most of the town's settled down for the night, Simon…I guess we better do the same. Can I walk along a ways with you? (I.423)
Mr. Webb attempts to befriend Simon in the only kindly gesture towards the town drunkard throughout the entire play.
I don't like the whole change that's come over you in the last year. I'm sorry if that hurts your feelings, but I've got to – tell the truth and shame the devil. (II.200)
Emily is honest with George when he asks her a question, suggesting that true friendship requires veracity over niceness.
I'm celebrating because I've got a friend who tells me all the things that ought to be told me. (II.234)
George appreciates that Emily can honestly tell him what she thinks about him, even when her opinion is not easy to hear.

Nostalgia's a powerful thing, particularly when it comes to gaming. Let us warn you now: Chuckie Egg isn't as good as you remember it, but nevertheless revisiting old games and platforms is still a wonderful way to embrace (and then move on from) your past.
Stella is, quite simply, an Atari 2600 VCS emulator. You'll need to provide your own game ROMs, and to avoid breaching copyright you still need to own them, even if they're buried away in your attic or basement somewhere. Places to download ROMs from include Atari Mania.
Once downloaded, extract the ROM's .bin file and copy it into your ROM directory – Stella lets you choose this folder the first time you launch it. Then it's a case of selecting your game, and revisiting your childhood. Most games are stored on files around 5-6KB in size, so expect a rude awakening if you're not played a game for decades.
A complete user guide can be found online, and if you do run into problems with the program, visit its FAQ for some essential troubleshooting tips and tricks to follow.
The emulator works well, with lots of tweakable settings such as switching between colour and black-and-white display (yes, some of us didn't get colour TV until the mid 80s!) and remapping controls to your personal perfection. It's just that whole question of how nostalgic and charitable you're feeling…
New in version 4.0:
- Ported to SDL2 with many improvements, including hardware acceleration support for Windows and Linux. Also future support for porting to Android and iOS using OpenGLES.
- Fullscreen video now uses native desktop resolution.
- TIA TV effects are now available in all video modes.
- Many other minor tweaks and improvements.

RAJKOT: Three people, including a BJP councillor in Morbi town, have been booked in a case of attempt to murder.
The complaint has been filed by a resident of Hari Park Society in Samakantha area Jalabhai Ahir against local BJP councillor Jayrajsinh Jadeja and his brothers Ajaysinh Jadeja and Mahavirsinh Jadeja. Jalabhai is a local contractor.
According to the complaint, Jalabhaias brother Jesang was attacked on Monday by Jayrajsinh, Ajaysinh and Mahavirsinh over road levelling issues. The trio attacked him with sharp-edged instruments and placed a revolver on Jesangas head. Jesang was first taken to hospital in Morbi and later shifted to Rajkot for further treatment.
The complaint stated that they were making a cement road before their residence when they were stopped by the Jadeja brothers, who objected to the height of the road. The trio told Jesang that if they construct road more than the normal height in the area, water would go into the houses of other residents. Jadeja resides close to Jesangas residence in Vidyutnagar. The fight got worse and the trio attacked Jesang.
The accused have been booked under various sections of the Indian Penal Code and Arms Act.

I picked this up at a big box store incorrectly labeled as Aloe humilis. It charmed me, and, despite the aggravation of not knowing its true identity, I bought it, because I knew SOMEBODY here would be able to offer a name. What can I say? The only thing I'm certain of is that it is a succulent. It grows in a rosette and is starfish-shaped...or, after a couple of cold ones, it starts to look like an octopus. The leaves are very flat and pliable, kind of like a piece of Juicy Fruit gum, if you will. The top of the leaves are striated and small white harmless spines are present. The spines on the underside form a "wave" pattern. The plant is in a 4" pot. So, what do you guys think? Is this an aloe? Dyckia? Puya? Orthophytum? Or some other type of bromeliad? Looking forward to your comments. |

I was thinking Dyckia, but I could be wrong... Christopher |
Looks like an Aloe to me, but certainly not humilis. Maybe arborescens, maybe cameronii, or a hybrid of some sort. The white dots, maybe a bit of Gasteria in the mix? |

Hmmm. Looks like a Cryptanthus, especially when you write that the leaves are very flat but rippled. Maybe something with C. acaulis as a parent. |

I was thinking Cryptanthus as well, just the particular manner of this rosette & those spiky leaves; looks so starfish-like to me! Handsome find you've got there, whatever it is. |
I'v seen this plant at Lowes, Home Depot and Walmart. I think it is a Aloe but which one I can't guess. It looks nothing like my Aloe humilis.It's been grown in heavy shade and is very soft leaved. I'll have to grow one out in good light and see what happens.I do like a good mystery. Bob |
- Posted by seedmoney 8A (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Sun, Mar 30, 14 at 9:51
Everyone! Thanks for your comments. Bob! Do you own this? It is so intriguing--at present, it looks like an intergeneric cross of Cryptanthus and Aloe. Mysterious indeed. |
