Egg Toss
1. Gather all participants and have them pair off into teams of two.
2. 2. Line up all players in two rows, with each team member facing one another. Teams will start with each member standing approximately 1 ft. apart, with plenty of space between each team for everyone to toss and catch their eggs comfortably.
3. Distribute one raw egg to one person on each team.
On command, all team members on one side will gently toss their egg to their teammate on the other side. If an egg is broken, that team is eliminated from the competition. If the egg remains unbroken, the team progresses to the next level. An egg that hits the ground without breaking remains in play as if it had been caught.
5. Catch the egg.
Everyone who is still in the game will take one step backwards. The egg is then tossed back to the original teammate. Again, any team that breaks its egg is eliminated, and others progress to the next level.

2. Two game flags will be placed in specific predetermined locations on campus.
3. Split into attacker and defender groups within your team.
4. Attempt to sneak to find and capture the enemy flag, and then race back without being caught if you are an attacker.
5. Capture enemy players by removing their belt flags while they have your game flag. Only the player with the game flag can have the flags from their belt removed. Similar to flag football
6. A team wins by capturing the other teams game flag and returning it to the location of their flag, or by eliminating all of the other teams members. Said team flag does not have to be at their base to win.
7. Teams may not create protective barriers around the game flag carrier
8. Teams may not fight over a game flag, once the game flag carrier has had their flags removed they must exit the game
9. If no team is able to capture the flag after 5 minutes we will move to a sudden death one vs. one round where the first team member to return to their base with the other teams game flag wins.

My cat Panda made another cameo appearance in my dreams last night. He always plays a tiny role in a sprawling, complicated story but I am so amused to encounter him there, he is all I remember of the dream. He is usually human-sized, wears clothing and speaks English, and let me tell you, he is a quipster.
Last night's dream had something to do with an attempt to order an unfamiliar fancy coffee drink that went horribly awry (note to self: do not watch three episodes of Breaking Bad immediately before bedtime) resulting in my being chased through the halls of a shadowy old hotel. There was a TON of detail in this dream, but the only part I really remember is this:
One doorway on the dark, cobwebby hallway stood open and spilled light onto my path, so I cautiously approached to see what was inside. There sat Panda, wearing a dark blue suit and skinny tie, and sporting a pencil-thin mustache. He looked like a giant feline John Waters. The desk was piled high with files and papers spilling from various in-baskets and piles, and Panda was involved in a heated discussion on the phone. Something about back end profits. He held the phone between his ear and shoulder while rubbing his eyes with one hand and tapping ash off his cigarette with the other. On the corner of his desk, a clackety old movie projector unspooled yards of film I could not see.
The sign on the wall behind him read Handsome Bear Modeling School and the engraved brass nameplate on the desk identified Dr Panda as the Associate Dean of Admissions.
I had the distinct impression that the Handsome Bear Modeling School is merely a front for something even more sketchy. But Panda ain't sayin'.

Mushtaq lands ECB coaching role
The ECB has announced the appointment of Mushtaq Ahmed as a spin-bowling coach.
The 38-year-old former Pakistan and Sussex leg-spinner will work for ECB on a consultancy basis and his role will include working with the spinners in the England Test and one-day squads, the England Performance Programme and Elite Player Development programmes.
David Parsons, the ECB performance director and formerly ECB lead spin bowling coach, said: "We are very excited that a bowler of Mushtaq's standing within the game has decided to join our team of specialist coaches based at the National Cricket Performance Centre at Loughborough.
"He will have a role to play at all levels of the game. His primary task will be to mentor our leading spin bowlers in the Test, one-day and performance squads but we also believe he can help encourage youngsters at the grassroots of the game to take up and learn the art of spin-bowling."
ECB managing director - England cricket Hugh Morris added: "It's critical that we nurture and develop the next generation of England spin bowlers using the expertise and knowledge of former players such as Mushtaq.
"Spin has been integral to the success of the world's best cricket teams and we are keen to ensure that there is a constant flow of spin-bowling talent into the England set-up."
Mushtaq recently announced his retirement from first-class cricket after helping Sussex to three County Championship titles between 2003 and 2007.

The Imperium of Man is truly a galaxy of guns. So many forges, foundries, manufactorums, and weapon smiths producing solid projectile fire arms, las, bolt, plasma, and melta weapons. With such an unbelievably large number of variants in hand held death they could never all be completely listed. And to represent this staggering variety the makers of the games give us a surprisingly small number of any of these weapons to bring to bare against the enemies of the God Emperor.

Weapon Class: Sniper Rifle
Weapon Specs: Twin Linked, Maximal, Accurate, Reliable s/-/- Range 150 M, Clip 20, Pen 4, Dameage 1d10+3 E, Reload 1 full, Rarity, VERY!
Weapon History: Part of Project:Redacted: from Lathe World :Redacted: This weapon was commisioned to create someting that could deal a devestating punch at long range and put downt eh enemies of man hard. Desigend by Magos Kleinsmen the 0vrk1ll is the proud apex of over 200 years of work, testing, and fighting with the more fundamental of the Ad mech. Thanks to its twin barrels a well placed shot can deal twice the damage as a normal long las could, which when combined with a Max Charge and placed in the hands of a well trained marksmen can put a dent in even the most terrifing foe. Due to requests from the Imperial Guard the vetting process is expected to be shortened to a mere 25 years and full production to follow.
Weapon Name. Unknow
Weapon Class: Heavy Bolter (heavily Modified)
Weapon Specs: Twin lined (X2) Storm, Heavy, -/3/5 Range 100m, Clip Must be paired with a Ammo Backpack, Pen 3 Damage 1d10+5 R, reload 2full, Rarity One of a kind
Weapon History: Found on a dead Hiveworld in the expance this weapon is belived to be a heavly modified Heavy Bolter, who modified it is up for debate since the planet it was found on was completly devoid of life nor was the any evidance of there ever having BEEN life. Complecating matters is that on examination the weapon seemed to have been modified by completely different mind sets at different times as there are examples of Ork, Eldar, Tau, Ad Mech, and as of yet unknow tech present. The weapon was deemed to be Extermly Hertical and slated for destruction when the Explorator ship it was lost in a warp storm. It was later found in the market place of Foot Fall, with no explanation of how it got there. It was bought by a Rogue Trader and born away before Ad Mech agents could recover the device. All Ad mech are to keep on the look out for this device and should the chance arise reclaim it.

Kavan Munitions
Maker of weapons that make you go huh.
Kavan Munitions "Deathstalker" Pistol
The Deathstalker is an odd mix of the a revolver and a monoedge fighting blade. The gun not the most accurate, given no sights and no way to mount any. And when used as a fighting blade, the gun part unbalance it. Still it finds it way into the hands of people, including some naval hands. As a result of the naval service it was designed to also use the fragmenting ammo at the cost 40 throne per 20 rounds and it is Rare, when loaded with this ammo gains Primative and Tearing traits.
Class: Pistol (Solid Projectile)
Range: 25m
Damage:1d10+2 I
Penetration: --
Clip: 6
Rld: Full
Special: Inaccurate
Weight: 3.75 kg
Price: 120
Availability: Rare
as a Fighting Blade
Class: Melee
Damage:1d5+1 R
Penetration: 2
Special: Mono, Unbalanced.
Kavan Munitions "Kracker" Shotgun Pistol
The Kracker is one of the scariest weapons ever put into a pistol form. It fires standard shotgun shells out of it short barrel and 8 shot revolving cylinder. If the shot from one of these doesn't knockdown your target, the noise and muzzle flash still may drive them for cover. Yet this weapon's ferocious recoil, and poorly weight unblanced design, means that you need a strength bonus of 4+ to fire one handed. Now there is the Kracker 2, that adds a forward pistol grip who stats are in quotes where they change.
Class: Pistol (Solid Projectile)
Range: 15m (8m)
Damage:1d10+3 I
Penetration: --
Clip: 8
Rld: Full
Special: Inaccurate, Scatter (Scatter)
Weight: 3.75 kg (4.25kg)
Price: 70 (100)
Availability: Rare
Kavan Munitions "Pocket Puncher" Pistol
The Pocket Puncher is a 3 shot snub nose revolver. If you thought the Kracker was bad the shot from one of these doesn't knockdown your target, the noise and muzzle flash will drive them for cover. This is the handcannon for you if your planning on punching heavy armor, as it fires a Heavy Stubber round. Give the weapon's ferocious recoil, it means that you need a strength bonus of 5+ to fire one handed, otherwise has a -10 to BS to hit. .If you attempt to fire rounds faster then every other round take an additional -20 to BD to hit.
Class: Pistol (Solid Projectile)
Range: 20m

Blast Rifle
Class: Basic (SP)
Range: 70m
Pen 0
Clip 12
Rld Full
Unreliable, Concussive, Blast (2)
Very Rare
Blast rifles were developed in order to clear up tight enemy formations of melee fighters, knocking them to the ground and stunning them. The blast rifle's concussive rounds are very large, thus giving it a shorter range than most rifles, with a drum magazine. While the drum magazine is enough to hold 12 shots , however, they are also known for frequent jamming. The destructive power of the blast rifle is great, causing explosions over a small area, stunning the enemy and knocking them down, slowing their advance while heavy weapons and vehicles give fire support.

( I have created a MONSTER!)
Name: Kaptain Felgor's Kustom Kombi Klaw (patent Pending)
Classification: Melee weapon/ Basic
State: Melee Range (with the orks reach about 8 ft) 2d10 Plus Str bonus Rending Pen 9 Powerfield unweildly + Basic ranged 90m s/2/5 1d10 + 5 I pen 4 clip 50 2 full reload, With Extra Barrels, Red Light, Spinny Chains Inacurate, Unrelalble
The Freeboota Kaptain usally combines this ungodly contraption to his Kustom Mega Nob Armor which allows for his favored tactic of firing himself at the enemies bridge during combat and tearing his way in. Extrem caution is advised when confronting the Kaptain since this weapon allows him to fight effectively at range and close in and considering his strength both natural and provided by his armor he has proven able to tear Land raiders apart. he is also seen using what he calls Da Strange Shoota
Classification Heavy Rifle/basic Range 90m 1d10 +4 pen 6 E s/2/- clip 45 reload - Death Dreamers fragment Accurate. Death dreams fragment is from the latest book stars of inequity, it replaces its reloud time with extra damge, Any hit by the weapon must make a +0 will check or suffer 1d10 will damage and the gun reloads to full, if no will damage is delt and it runs out of ammo it gives the user 1d10 insanity points…and reloads
Weapon appears to be of unknow xeno make melding Cystal and metal into a rifle like shape. Those hit by the weapon and lived to tell the tail claim that as it ravaged their body, it ravaged their souls, The Kaptain on his part says that its "not proppa" and "No Dakka at tal" and has tried a few times to leave it somewhere yet some how it always winds back up in his personal "study" by the days end
Posted 22 May 2013 - 06:09 AM
Set up an example
Bob fires a Repulsor Cannon at Tom on Maximal setting (3d10+12). He rolls 34 for damage. Tom is Hulking size (x2) due to his Power Armor and has a Toughness Bonus of 4, meaning the damage is reduced by 8 down to 26. Tom is standing 10 meters away from a solid plasteel wall. Tom impacts the plasteel wall with 16 meters remaining in his trajectory. Tom treats this as if he'd fallen 16 meters, taking 1d10+16 damage with no reduction from Armor, only Toughness (which is 4). Tom rolls 1d10+16, getting a 22. He then reduces the damage by his TB, which is 4. The total amount of damage he takes is 18.
I realize that's a lot of damage, but think about that compared to a Plasma Cannon on maximal: 3d10+10 with 10 penetration. That means any and all non-vehicle targets will take, on average, 26 damage.

The Horatio-pattern Boarding Pistol - a large caseless Naval revolver, fashioned after 17th century flintlocks.
Posted 24 May 2013 - 08:47 AM
WhiteLycan: The rules are somewhat complex, yes, but the immediate thing I notice is how weird this will be when used on a Space Marine, since they don't count as Hulking due to the Black Carapace. I know this is but a thing to calculate with if you plan to use the Repulsor Rifle, but it is still noteworthy.
Posted 24 May 2013 - 01:29 PM
In such special cases the Black Carapace's advantages could probably be ignored, as it does not actually make the Marine smaller.
For what it's worth, I never understood this weird advantage in the first place, as a Space Marine would always be ~7 feet tall, but with the RAW you don't get the appropriate to-hit bonus even if he is unaware of the attack. Or naked. The Black Carapace only improves interaction with the suit, yet by all rights they should be Hulking even without the armour, so what difference should the Black Carapace negate here?
Oh well … it's probably an issue rooted in the rules for wearing armour more than the ones for playing/using Space Marines.
On the flipside, it could be argued that for the purposes of Marines reacting to this weapon, Hulking also does not apply here because they're much tougher than someone their size would normally be. It's a bit of a cop-out, but hey.
Ultimately, the biggest problem I see is that some big dude would not necessarily take as much damage as he would inflict on someone else were he to be thrown around. I understand that Toughness is supposed to take care of that, but I'm not sure it all works out in every possible situation. Might be interesting to give it a few test runs, though.
Posted 29 May 2013 - 03:44 PM
I totally forgot that space marines aren't counted as Hulking because of their black carapace. I think the hulking would count for the repulsor rifle, however, since I kinda imagined it as being based off of the target's mass, not their to-hit. Their hulking mixed with unnatural toughness would mean repulsor weapons would be pretty weak against space marines, anyway. Average 15 point reduction on their knock back range and 15 reduction on their fall damage. If it was a space marine in my example up there, he would have only taken 4 damage and a rifle wouldn't be able to hurt him at all =/. Be interesting to add a combined-fire capability to the weapon. Maybe I should increase the damage of the cannon since it (and most other cannons) is not really intended to be anti-personnel.
At one stage of development for the repulsor can on I actually gave it the felling (1) quality but I took it out later. Maybe I should put that back in.
Posted 08 June 2013 - 09:45 PM
Threw this together earlier today, not really an original creation so much as a rough adaptation of a tabletop weapon.
Ogryn Ripper Gun Heavy 25meters -/3/- 1d10+8 I Pen 0 51 2full reliable, innacurate, scatter 30 rare
Can also be used as a melee weapon with the following profile: 2d10 Impact 0 pen unweildy, primitive
I thought about giving it the storm trait too, but my players are pretty low level so I'd rather not even though it probably should have it. As it is you put amputator shells in the thing and it's pretty damn harsh assuming it's being carried by someone with the right build.
Posted 10 June 2013 - 12:38 AM
The Double Eagle.
This auto-weapon is a prototype created by Magos Proust Gershwin.
Two barrels poke from the mouth of a golden eagle head, and the two curved magazines, one feeding each barrel from the side, slide into extended magazine wells that look like spread wings. The Grox horn grips have been engraved with taloned bird feet gripping the Gershwin family crest
Proust experimented with versions that utilized a single large magazine loaded through the handle, but this required a more complicated loading mechanism, which was more prone to fowling. In the end he decided that a longer reload time was preferable to an unreliable weapon. Spent shell casings eject downwards, out the hollow handle.
Since it makes use of standard projectile ammunition rather than expensive bolt shells or the esoteric technologies of the plasma and melta weapons, it is relatively low tech and inexpensive to produce. It's meant for use by tank crews, downed pilots, navy personel, and others that don't have the space or capacity to carry a rifle (basic) class weapon, but need more firepower than can be provided by your average las pistol.
While the weapon can mow down lightly armored opponents with great efficiency, it's effectiveness declines sharply as the opponent's armor increases. Even still it can be moderately effective due to the "shotgun" like effect of so many bullets seeking weak points in the enemy's defenses.
The recoil of what is essentially a pair of autopistols firing on fully automatic is significant, and it is suggested that anyone wielding it make use of the small foregrip or a recoil gauntlet if one is available. Due to the weight of the slide the Double Eagle will not fire properly unless there are rounds in both chambers, all but guaranteeing a jam or other form of misfire.
Name | Class | Range | RoF | Pen | Clip | Reload | Special | Availability |
Double Eagle | Pistol | 30M | 1/-/5 | 0 | 40 | 2 full | storm | unique |
Notes: The clip size is for both magazines. Individually they have 20 rounds each. This means the weapon can fire four full auto bursts before requiring reloading.
Like the hand cannon the Double Eagle requires either two hands, or a recoil glove to wield properly.
This weapon was created in a game that had already house-ruled down the effectiveness of Righteous Fury to a maximum of 1d10 extra damage rather than multiple chances at full weapon damage. The Double Eagle, as well as another player's recent acquisition of a storm bolter, resulted in further amendment of the rule to indicate that only a single additional attack roll was required to confirm or deny righteous fury for all shots in a single attack.
When he found out about the Magos's pet project the Rogue Trader he was serving with immediately demanded a pair for his own personal use. The Rogue Trader had a penchant for dual wielding pistols, and became quite fond of the weapons, referring to them as his favorite little dakkas.

I made these up for my campaign taking place in a star cluster with a xenos race, the Goo'ha, and non-voidfaring humans on the world of Latavia.
Latavian Combat Rifle
Basic-Solid Projectile Requires: S35 to wield
85m; S/3/-; 1d10+3 I; Pen 1; Clip 30; Reload 1 Full; Two-handed, Storm
This double barreled autogun utilizes an over-under barrel set up that is loaded by a drum magazine attached just in front of the trigger. The magazine is drum shaped and covers both sides of the barrels allowing them to be fed from the sides by the same magazine, while the most common type of ammunition is steel "Puncher" rounds designed with a protruding spike to penetrate armor. The higher gravity of Latavia gives the local populace the strength to take advantage of this design as weaker individuals would likely be knocked down by the strength required to wield this weapon, it is, however, incapable of full auto fire to prevent injury to the user.
Latavian Storm Cannon
Heavy-Solid Projectile
300m; S/2/5; 4d10+5 I; Pen 5; Clip 40; Reload 2 Full; Two-handed, Storm, Felling (1)
Like all Latavian weapons this double barreled weapon (side to side) is loaded with Puncher rounds and has fearsome recoil. This heavy weapon has to be fired from a special tripod in order to manage the recoil of full auto fire with any accuracy.
Latavian Dueling Pistol
Pistol-Solid Projectile
35m; S/-/-; 1d10+3 I; Pen 1; Clip 10; Reload 2 Full; Accurate, Storm
With two side mounted barrels this dueling pistol is loaded with Punisher ammo through two tubes underneath both barrels. Its intricate design is hard to produce and is reserved for officers and other important or wealth individuals.
Goo'ha Shardgun
95m; S/2/-; 1d10+4 I; Pen 2; Clip 20; Reload 1 Full; Two-handed
The default weapon of the Goo'ha that fires metal shards capable of impaling enemies
Goo'ha Shardcannon
325m; S/4/-; 3d10+7 I; Pen 5; Clip 80; Reload 2 Full; Two-handed, Felling (1)
The default heavy weapon of the Goo'ha that fires large metal shards capable of shooting through enemies

For the most part, this is a great story. It is nicely constructed. I like the sentence structure. I like the way the words flow together. I like the originality of descriptions. It sounded like it was being told by someone who lived in another time, another place, another reality.
And it moved me. I could identify with the characters and felt empathy for what they were going through. I like the mythological tone, the unrequited love, the tragic hero. Very classic in tone and style.
The author shows promise. The story is very good, but there are some things that I think could use help. First is when she asks our hero if he is hurt. He says yes, and then instead of asking where hes hurt, or what she can do to help, she asks, Was the battle...horrible? She admits that she finds the question ridiculous, but shouldnt she be cleaning his wounds, or wiping his brow with a damp cloth?
If someone is injured, and too weak to take off their own armor, I would think the heroine would be tending to his wounds. And if hes that weak, how does he find the strength to head off to battle a few short hours later?
I also didnt understand where they were, or how each of them got there. I also didnt understand why they were completely alone for the whole time. It sounded like they were at a public well. Given the fact that he was a legend, a national hero, and so famous that poems were written about him, I would think it odd that he went unnoticed. Plus the two of them lay on the cobblestone till morning and in all that time, no one comes by. Did I miss something?
Also, if he left his armor behind, did he head back into battle wearing just his woolen breeches and leather codpiece?
RE: Purulent eyes meets profligate eyes: The descriptions seem to disrupt rather than add to the flow of the story. It is not exactly romantic if someone has to go to the dictionary.
Main should be mane.
A reckless thrum sounds a bit awkward.
All these things are minor in relation to how strong the story is. It has a lot going for it. I hope to read more from this author.
~Keep on typing.

A review of Victim of Happy Camp Revisedby BozDonovan on 03/05/2011This is a nice readable story. One that is easy to follow and know whats going on without long indulgent narratives that distract more than add.

A review of Tell Me a Storyby BozDonovan on 02/23/2011This piece is far from normal. It isnt really a story in the traditional sense of having a beginning, a middle, and an end.

Soda, Candy 'Are Out' Under USDA's Proposed School Snack Rules
Submitted by emalvini on Fri, 02/01/2013 - 16:56Soda, Candy 'Are Out' Under USDA's Proposed School Snack Rules
By Elise Viebeck
The Obama administration proposed regulations Friday that would prohibit U.S. schools from selling unhealthy snacks.
The 160-page regulation from the Department of Agriculture (USDA) would enact nutrition standards for "competitive" foods not included in the official school meal.
In practice, the proposed rules would replace traditional potato chips with baked versions and candy with granola. Regular soda is out, though high-schoolers may have access to diet versions.
"Although nutrition standards for foods sold at school alone may not be a determining factor in children's overall diets, they are critical to providing children with healthy food options throughout the entire school day," the proposed rule states.

It hasn't been a good week for Lindsay Lohan as a potentially lucrative TV gig fell through and her latest movie was rejected by several film festivals.
Lindsay was in the news earlier in the week when a deal to appear on Dancing with the Stars fell through.
Lohan reportedly turned down a $550,000 payday to apear on the show. Her official line was that she simply "doesn't do" reality TV.
That didn't exactly jive with reports that she's desperate for cash. Various outlets have since reported that sources close to her are chalking it up to pure Lindsay craziness instead.
Apparently her handlers are afraid of just what she might do -- or what condition she might appear in -- on live TV, opting to decline the offer and not put her in a high-pressure situation.
The Canyons Universally Panned, Rejected
Her movie career has also taken a few hits recently. Her new movie The Canyons is apparently so bad that it can't get into several different film festivals for even a screening.
Sundance was the first festival to give the movie (an erotic thriller starring Lohan and porn star James Deen) a thumbs down The SXSW festival in Austin is the latest to take a pass on showing the film.
Paul Schrader directed it and butted heads with Lindsay throughout filming. Lohan was fired and rehired for not showing up to work and for arguing with Schrader about the inclusion of various sex scenes.
James Deen spoke with the Huffington Post about one of the sex scenes involving Lindsay -- a four-way featuring "boobs and ass" -- and he was adamant that they never actually had sex, and that Lindsay was fine to work with.
Lohan's legal troubles are also back in the news as she's parted ways with longtime attorney Shawn Holley.
Lohan has a new lawyer by her side as she faces assorted charges for lying to police about being behind the wheel during a recent traffic accident that she blamed on her assistant at the time.

Using vivid past-life case studies, Dr. Weiss shows how regression therapy can heal grief, create more loving relationships, and uncover hidden talents - and how near-death and out-of-body experiences help confirm the existence of past lives. Dr. Weiss includes his own professional hypnosis, dream recall, meditation, and journaling techniques for safe past-life recall at home.
Compelling and provocative, Through Time Into Healing shows us how to help ourselves lead healthy, productive lives, secure in the knowledge that death is not the final word and that the doorways to healing and wholeness are inside us.
©2008 Brian L. Weiss; (P)2008 Simon and Schuster Inc.
"Too repetitive"
The book was good the first few stories in. It became very repetitive afterward. A definite pass.
I loved this book. If you are at all interested in finding out more about past lives, Dr. Brian Weiss is the best place to start. His story is amazing....how he came to discover regression through hypnotherapy and the benefits that it can have for people is extraordinary. I'm particularly interested in his material as he never believed or even thought about past lives before he happened upon it in his therapy sessions. This book is too short as you really get into listening to peoples stories....I was disappointed when it was over. I'd highly recommend this to people.

Beyond your academic qualifications, we'll be looking for evidence that you're genuinely interested in and enthusiastic about developing a career in your chosen area.
For instance, we'd like to hear about how you're fascinated with how things work. In the Technical Apprenticeship you'll be working a lot with computers, investigating new ways of doing things and solving intricate technical problems. We'd love to hear about how you enjoy tinkering with cars, bicycles or motorbikes; or about an engineering project you've done at school; or an engineering club you've been involved with. Whatever it is, we need to know you've thought things through and are fairly sure that this career is right for you.
Team skills, and good time management
We're also very keen to take on people who love working as a team. Because, despite the size of our company, we all enjoy working with other people. So, we'll be interested in how you've worked in a group, whether that's at school, with your family, in a sports team, at work, in voluntary organisations, such as the Guides, Scouts or Cadets, or as part of religious or community activities. You'll also need to be good at organising your time, as you'll need to make time for studying, as well as actually getting on and doing your job.

I planted several gardenias 3 or 4 years ago. They are growing very well and all flower profusely. Perhaps I wasn't paying attention in previous years, but this year with at least two types, the flowers have only lasted two or three days before turning brown. I have been having a similar reaction with an azaela that I was told was a nasty fungus. The gardenias are not near that azalea but I am wondering if they might have a similar problem. How long are gardenia flowers supposed to last? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Mine, on several different varieties, last only a couple of days on healthy plants with no fungus or pests. I think yours are ok. |

Labour has room to move before poll
PUBLISHED: 07 Dec 2012 00:06:20 | UPDATED: 07 Dec 2012 16:37:14PUBLISHED: 07 Dec 2012 PRINT EDITION: 07 Dec 2012We've had it so good so long it has distorted our sense of 'normal', says Philip Lowe. Photo: Sasha Woolley
Canberra observed
Laura Tingle
Senator John Faulkner spoke on Tuesday about political integrity. Reserve Bank deputy governor Philip Lowe spoke on Wednesday about "what is normal". On the face of it, it's hard to see two speeches more remote in their subject matter.
Faulkner's speech launched his blistering condemnation of the culture of the NSW branch of the ALP, which has allowed the horror story of corruption unfolding at the Independent Commission Against Corruption to flourish.
Lowe's speech was about the economy and people's expectations about the economy.
What unites the speeches is that they go to two things Labor has a capacity to influence between now and the next election: its economic story and whether it is fatally tainted by the stench from NSW.
The view within the government of what awaits Labor at the next poll varies depending on where MPs live and from day to day.
Most presume the government faces a loss, but the view of how catastrophic a loss depends on, for example, whether you are discussing NSW – where things are beyond black – or Queensland, where Campbell Newman continues to give true believers hope.
But Labor's polling day task is framed in terms of winning seats to offset catastrophic losses in NSW.
In a different universe altogether, views across government, its advisers and market economists about the economic outlook and the budget strategy also vary.
The annual Australian Business Economists forecasting conference on Wednesday reflected the gloom of the dismal science (private sector branch): growth will weaken; all the risks are on the downside; the government will not only fail to reach its budget surplus target but find itself stuck on the wrong side of the fiscal policy argument; the transition from an economy dominated by mining to the non-mining sector will be clunky at best; the chances of the non-mining economy coming on stream were uncertain . . . you get the drift.
Lowe's analysis was positively cheery by comparison. His message was an extension of RBA governor Glenn Stevens' "glass half full" speech a few months ago.
Lowe sought to challenge his audience on what they regarded as "normal" and how perceptions of "normal" can distort your view.
The past 20 years had been very good ones for the Australian economy, delivering almost uninterrupted growth, "a feat not matched by any other developed economy", he said, and the result was "a very positive legacy".
"More of us have jobs than ever before," he said. "Our incomes are noticeably higher. We are wealthier. And our economy has moved up the global league tables.
"But this experience has also affected how Australians view our current economic situation. After such a good run, there is a sense of dissatisfaction in parts of the community that we are not repeating all aspects of this earlier experience. Twenty years of good economic performance and rising asset prices raised our expectations of what is normal and many in the community are a little disappointed these higher expectations are not being met fully.
"I suspect that this is one factor that explains why the public mood has been a bit flat over recent times, despite many observers outside our country viewing the Australian economy with some envy," he said.
Lowe's polite reference to a public mood being "a bit flat" picks up on economic indicators like household wealth and debt that have had a palpable effect on voters' sense of well-being in the past five years.
He acknowledged the latest national accounts showed a weaker economy – but was conspicuously less bleak about the outlook than his private sector counterparts. He noted, for example, the better productivity performance reported in the September quarter.
The RBA's business liaison, he said, had picked up on this earlier because businesses were reporting that tougher times of late meant they were being forced into taking tough decisions they had put off during the better times.
When things are going well, Lowe noted, you tended to take the foot off the pedal.
The business economists, meanwhile, were fretting about Labor's fiscal policy, arguing that the government was wedded to a budget surplus being the "normal" at a time when even the business community and financial markets have abandoned the surplus obsession.
But that vastly underestimates the room the government has got to move in over the next six months.
Read what Treasurer Wayne Swan, Prime Minister Julia Gillard, or Finance Minister Penny Wong repeatedly say.
A surplus is the correct fiscal setting for an economy running at trend growth, is the clear message.
Well, this week's national accounts show an economy that has started to drop below trend growth. If the trend continues in the December national accounts – released early next year – it will give Labor the peg to walk away from its surplus straitjacket.
No one in the government would say so, but a slight slowing in the economy early next year could actually be of political advantage, if only because it gives it a chance to break free of a commitment which has outlived commonsense.
Business and market economists would only applaud.
In reformulating its fiscal policy message, incumbency gives it the chance to fashion a new budget policy message better suited to the economic times.
This could be an easier task than it is for the Coalition, which is firmly locked into commitments to big spending cuts, even as we enter an election campaign likely to be fought against the backdrop of a soft economy.
The trick for Labor will be to keep the static about the state of the budget bottom line in 2012-13 separate from a discussion about funding its medium- to long-term commitments to the National Disability Insurance Scheme.
The point is the budget policy story that Labor takes into 2013 is completely in its remit to shape.
Equally, the extent to which its prospects are tainted and damaged by the story oozing out of the ICAC is also within the Prime Minister's capacity to control.
Not everyone agrees with all the elements of party reform Faulkner proposed this week as a response to a culture in NSW, which has finally emerged blinking and scowling into the daylight. But most agree Gillard has little choice but to do something to cauterise its damage to federal Labor's already limited prospects of re-election.
Party reform has been too hard to do for so long. But like any businesses facing tough times, the black prospects confronting Labor should force it to act.

is a dark, mild, almost sweet vinegar with an appealing depth of flavor that can be emulated by balsamic vinegar. Black vinegar is usually made from glutinous rice or sorghum, from which it derives its distinctive taste. The better black vinegars can have an impressive complexity of flavors and aromas, ranging from smoky to wine-yeasty. In central China and some parts of the north, black vinegar is added to almost every dish.

this will be my second year trying to grow hot peppers, so please excuse my ignorance...
im wondering about the ideal soil(less) mix. ive had limited success growing hot peppers (jalapeños, habaneros, serranos) in a mix of potting soil, sphagnum, top soil, and manure. in fact, i planted about 10 plants in my raised bed last year and only harvested about 5 peppers total! i did, however, plant a tabasco pepper plant that exploded in late summer, constituting my only pepper success story last year. this year i'm growing different peppers from seed under a grow light. im planning on planting some in my raised bed, but i'd like to plant the majority in containers for mobility and to experiment with soil mixes. im guessing my peppers didn't do so hot in my raised bed due to the high water retention of the soil mix, so i was thinking of just mixing course sand with potting soil for the container peppers to create more drainage. any suggestions as to a simple and effective medium for potting hot peppers (i'll be planting habaneros, scotch bonnets, and serranos)? also, what would be a good container size to allow for full maturation without restricting growth? any tips would be greatly appreciated! |

First piece of advice is avoid sand in containers. Sand compacts and fills the spaces between larger particles, thus impeding drainage. Secondly, a good size container would be about 5 gallons to start...however, I think most folks Now, for my recommendation on a soil-less mix. To provide Calcium, and to slightly raise the low starting pH of the bark, I add Dolomitic Garden Lime - A very cost efficient container mix uses this recipe:

Josh (greenman28): Now I am really intrigued. Can you describe this Orchid Bark (Fir Bark) in detail and let me know if it is common in garden centers or where I would go to find it. And when you say 1 part potting soil, I take that to be regular basic black dirt type soil and not some exotic blend of pete or moss or other components??? If you would post that here but also contact me offlist, I would much appreciate it: email@example.com |
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Sun, Mar 20, 11 at 23:41
Hey, sure thing! Orchid Bark is usually sold at nurseries or garden centers, and I see it at Home Depot and other big box stores in my area. I use E.B. Stone's product, but there are many brands available. If you can find bags of mulch which have fine enough bark, that'll work, too. For the mix we're talking, 1 part potting soil, yep you got it. Anything you have on hand will work. The purpose of the I'll contact you. Josh |
- Posted by plantslayer 8 (My Page) on Mon, Mar 21, 11 at 0:49
Josh, if you use this kind of free-draining soil, do you have to water from above? I am guessing moisture would not wick up from the holes in the bottom of the pot in something this loose, but I don't know. I wish I could grow stuff in containers right now, I'd love to try your recommended soil mix! |
Josh, thanks, Between your posts here and your personal email (with pictures), I think I have a good idea how to tackle this project. Thanks for the help and happy growing. Pepperpikker |
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Mon, Mar 21, 11 at 1:55
My pleasure, plantslayer and Pepperpikker! For the record, this mix was developed by Al (Tapla). More can be read in the Container Forum. Plantslayer, this mix is best watered from above, yes. Once an appropriate bark is found, you can produce huge volumes of mix for far less money. Josh |

I use mostly bark based soil mixes and found,in general they aren't that much cheeper (depending on ingrediant prices in your area.Here bark orchid bark is very expensive)to make but will give WAY better results and I had plants in it that are 5+ yrs. old and doing fine without doing more than topping off the pot with more mix every so often. So in the long run they are way cheeper,all things considered. |

I was at Home Depot and found this product. The brand is "Grower's Gold", called their "Outdoor Growing Mix". As you can see, the ingredients are pretty darn close to what has been recommended here. I bought some and will give it a try. It was only $9.97 for 1.5 cubic feet. That should be enough for three to four, 5-gallon containers. They had Orchid Bark and Perlite; I didn't find Pumice. The OB and Perlite were $3.97 for 8-dry quarts. |
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Mon, Mar 21, 11 at 16:08
That product is mostly peat moss, unfortunately. Which is why the "wetting agent" is added, and why they advise not to overwater - peat moss is hydrophobic when dry, and hydrophilic when wet: the worst of both worlds, as it were. In addition, coconut coir holds as much moisture as peat moss, and yet it actually has less loft... I'm sure that would be great for raised beds, but I wouldn't be so quick to use it for containers...
Josh |
- Posted by sworegonjim 8 (My Page) on Mon, Mar 21, 11 at 17:52
Could it be repaired by adding more perlite or Orchid Bark? |
sworegonjim: At Home Depot, was that "Orchid Bark" actually the Miracle Gro Orchid Mix? Or was it plain Orchid Bark? |
- Posted by sworegonjim none (My Page) on Mon, Mar 21, 11 at 19:24
I just went to Home Depot's website and looked at two Orchid Mix bags. They had the Miracle Gro Orchid Potting Mix at my store. I am confident the other bag was plain ole Orchid Bark. Several 8-dry quart bags of potting material were each $3.97. |
- Posted by sworegonjim none (My Page) on Mon, Mar 21, 11 at 19:37
esox07 - I'm not sure. I am waffling. I zoomed in on a photo of the Miracle Grow Orchid Mix bag, and I think that could have been what I saw. |
Sworegonjim: Probably was. That is the stuff I used to start my seeds this year. But now I am looking for the permanent container mix and hope I can find some Fir (Orchid) Bark somewhere to make the GreenMan28 recipe. The darn garden stores dont start really stocking up quite a while up here. (S. Central Wisconsin). |

I posted this in the other thread that esox started and I guess I'll d oit here as well. Here's the direct link to the thread that Josh was talking about above: Container Growing Info Rudy |
Thanks everyone! Just checked back in for the first time since my initial post and it's so nice to have so many great answers to my questions. I'm definitely going to try a bark-based mix for most of my containers based on the tips here. I might mix it up a little bit in a few of them just for sake of experimenting, but I'm going to steer clear of sand based on recommendations here and elsewhere. I appreciate all the help! |
greenman or smokemaster (or anyone): any ideas where to find larger quantities of fine-grade fir bark? im very interested in a bark-heavy recipe, but all the bags im finding online are smaller and more money than i'd like to spend. i'll have around 25 3-gallon containers going this year, so economy-size bags would be ideal. obviously the domestic orchid grower won't usually need so much potting medium, but orchid distributors must get it from somewhere... |
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Sun, Mar 27, 11 at 18:27
Well, for starters, where do you live? Josh |
I'm in GA. Easy access to a home depot, lowe's, or local nursery. They seem to only have the small bags though... |
- Posted by green_grocer 5b - MI (My Page) on Sun, Mar 27, 11 at 22:46
TCLeigh, Just to throw in my 2 cents, you might consider a landscaping supply for larger quantities of fir bark... a quick google search (or other search engine of you choice)should garner results in your area. I am fairly certain the cost per yd is much less than the cost per foot bagged, and if you have something to haul it in, it could be well worth the time to get it that way. Just my opinion, |
- Posted by kosherbaker LA CA-10 (My Page) on Mon, Mar 28, 11 at 0:26
TCLeigh have you looked into EarthGro Groundcover Bark that HomeDepot sells for $4 per 2sq ft? Make sure to look into Groundcover Bark and not the Nuggets or Mulch as the latter two are too large. I'm also curious why you settled on the 3 gallon containers? Are those transitional or final places for your peppers? Rudy |
- Posted by smokemaster_2007 (My Page) on Mon, Mar 28, 11 at 1:52
Orchid Bark,not mix, I use.$13.-$15. a bag. |
thanks, green grocer and kosherbaker. those are good tips. kosherbaker: i settled on 3-gallon pots because i plan on being around to water sufficiently throughout the summer. also, im on a pretty tight budget and the 5-gallon nursery pots were twice as much money ($1 vs. $2). i'm also going to be moving to a different region in august and i would like to take as many plants with me as possible. i figure the 3 gallon pots will keep the plants smaller. i don't want to limit pepper production, though. --- anyone had success growing hot peppers in 3-gallon pots? i know ideally they would be in 5-gallons, but i'm hoping they'll do fine in 3-gallons... smokemaster: that's what i need! where did you pick that up? |
- Posted by smokemaster_2007 (My Page) on Mon, Mar 28, 11 at 19:25
The nursery 100yrds up the street. They have a different brand at Homey Depote. I never used the Homey Depote stuff,can't carry bags of it on the bus. LOL |
Ok, I have read many different threads on pot sizes. I still don't know what is what exactly, but I have a friend who works at a landscaping nursery, and I asked him for some 3 gallon, and 5 gallon containers. The containers he gave me are 10" wide, and 9" and 12" high respectively. I don't care what they technically are in regards to volume, what I wan't to know is will these be sufficient to grow, new mexico green, sante fe grande, jalepeno, and serrano plants? Thanks, Jon |
They will probably work but I would suggest they are are on the small side. The optimum size would be around 15-16" wide at the top and that deep or deeper. Your harvest will probably be quite a bit smaller with the 10" pots. Many pots you find may be called 1 gallon or 3 gallon or 5 gallon but many times they are really not that big. I bought some "1 gallon" pots and after doing the math, they are actually 3/4 of a gallon. I would try to find pots at least 12" wide and that deep or deeper for best results. A 12"x12" pot would be around 5 gallons. |
- Posted by Farmington none (My Page) on Sat, May 24, 14 at 7:33
What then would be the ideal container for habaneros? |
OK. It was back then 2011 but things have evolved since then. Now a widely used container soil is called Al's 5-1-1. Go to "Container Gardening" forum for some education. About Container size : It depends on : For example, I have a cool growing condition (Heat Zone 1, PNW) and also relatively short season for peppers ( May to September) that is about 5 months. So then "Root Bounding" is not a big issue for me. But it you have like 8-9 months of growing season (like Socal, FL) then it is another situation. About Habaneros , I am growing them in 3 gallon pots. But, if you have a longer growing season, perhaps a 5 gall. would be better. |

Brian McDermott has reminded his Reading players of the need for correct conduct on social media and has warned there will be tough repercussions for those who do not fall into line.
The Madejski Stadium boss has had to defuse a situation after dropped goalkeeper Adam Federici's girlfriend and family went public with criticism on Twitter.
McDermott has discussed the subject with Federici, who will miss Saturday's trip to West Bromwich Albion with a knee injury, and he wants the rest of his squad to take note.
"I spoke to Adam about that and he apologised," said McDermott in the Reading Post.
"I don't think his girlfriend realised what would happen. She was just trying to look after Adam and I didn't take it personally.
"As a manager, I pick the team. If you put something out there it goes all over the world and it has done. We spoke as a squad (about social media) at the start of the season.
"Everyone knows the boundaries and this isn't a soft club. I have no interest in telling people what they can and can't write but we all know what is right and wrong.
"I like the players to have freedom of speech - they are all adults."
