found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Mia!
Facts about Mia
- Breed: Domestic Longhair
- Color: Black & White Or Tuxedo
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Long
Mia's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with cats.
Mia and her brother Louie were surrendered when their owner could no longer care for them. They are beautiful, affectionate cats who need to stay together. They will be a great addition to a family.
Other Pets at Milford Humane Society
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Mia, a Milford Domestic Longhair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Longhair for sale in Milford, or seeking a Domestic Longhair cat from a breeder in Milford.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Milford already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Milford breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Longhair breeders who help with Domestic Longhair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Milford paves the way for another one to be saved.

Tell participants they will have a chance to solve a conflict peacefully, with no violence. Ask for volunteers to act out the scenarios. End a role play when a conflict has been resolved peacefully. If a conflict gets stuck without resolution, you may ask new volunteers to try it, or open the scenario for a group discussion.
Optional: To emphasize the return to reality, invite role players to spin in a circle one time when they are done and return to their true selves.
At the end of each role play, ask the group:
Affirm all suggestions of peaceful solution seeking. Do not belabor a non-peacemaking solution; simply move on to another contribution.

Ethnic pride is not the only factor guiding many Espaillat supporters to the polls Tuesday.
New York State Senator Adriano Espaillat has the chance to become the first Dominican in Congress.
He is challenging 42 year incumbent Charlie Rangel in the newly drawn 13th District in Tuesday's primary. But as WFUV's Claudia Morell reports, his ethnic background may not play much of a factor at the polls.

reviews & comments (6)
This is flavorful and healthy. I hadn't made it for a few years, but had made batches of pesto and remembered this soup. This time I had a 28 oz. can diced tomatoes on hand, so used those and reduced the water. My in-laws loved it and requested the recipe.
perfect comfort food- skipped the pistou and just loved all the taste from the veggies- added one carton of chicken broth after i over boiled.
I used 4 cups of chicken stock in place of the water. i would use it or vegetable stock again and cut back on the amount of additional water. i also added a dash of vinegar towards the end.

Bishop, a 15-year-old student at Walker Valley High School, recently won the Hiram Percy Maxim Award given annually to a licensed radio amateur under the age of 21. Winners and nominees must be current members of the American Radio Relay League (ARRL), which is the national association for amateur radio based in Newington, Conn.
To win the award, a nominee must make exemplary contributions to the community of amateur radio. Qualifications must include participation or leadership in organizational events at the local or national levels; technical achievement (such as building a radio or putting up an antenna); operating record (such as disaster drills and contests); recruitment and training of new amateurs and public relations activities (such as creating a ham radio Web page).
In July of 2006, Emily was appointed ARRL Tennessee Assistant Section Manager—YOUTH. In January 2008, she was appointed assistant director—YOUTH Delta Division, which includes Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas and Louisiana. Since her first appointment as Assistant Section Manager, Emily has traveled to many hamfest and youth forums with the hope of sparking interest in amateur radio among young people.
The young radio operator has worked with the ARRL in the Youth Lounge of the Dayton Hamvention, which is the largest gathering of amateur radio operators in the world. She's also conducted activities during the Huntsville, Ala. Hamfest and has traveled as far south as Melbourne, Fla. to conduct a youth forum.
"Amateur radio is a great hobby and one the whole family can enjoy," she related. "I cherish the friends I've made since becoming a ham."
The annual ham radio award is named after Maxim, co-founder of the ARRL. (Maxim is also noted as the inventor of the 'Maxim Silencer' for firearms and the muffler for gasoline engines). Maxim created the ARRL in 1914 when he saw a need to build up an organized group of 'relay' stations to pass messages by amateur radio.
According to Mike Bishop, there are three classes of licensed amateur radio operators — technical, general and extra class. Of his own radio beginnings, Bishop notes: "I used to do the CB (citizens' band) radio in the 1970s. It was something fun to do. It amazes me you can take a radio and wire antenna and talk 2,500 to 10,000 miles away."
Bishop recalled the time his daughter expressed interest in his penchant for communication. "I was talking on the radio one night," he recalled, "and she (Emily) came and sat beside me. I was talking to someone in Italy. It was kind of fun to hear foreign accents. (Emily) asked me 'Can I do that?'
"I said, 'You gotta have a license.' We left that day, a Saturday, to purchase her technical study guide. She took the test (including Morse code) four months later and passed it." Emily was around 8 years old at the time.
"I talk to people and I give presentations on ham radio" Emily noted, adding that she's done these things since she was 9. Through her radio hobby, she's able to win scholarships. She won $1,500 along with her Percy Maxim award.
Emily and her dad have both operated radio for the Military Auxiliary Radio System, which is under the auspices of our country's Homeland Security department. During Hurricanes Rita and Katrina, both were active in the emergency communication process.
"We took turns two hours at a time," Emily's dad said. "During Katrina, there was no electricity and no phones."
But, he added, with just basic equipment, you can communicate by amateur radio.
"You can actually do texting on a ham if you set to keyboard," he said.
The word "ham radio" is from years back, Bishop explained, when ordinary citizens were trying to communicate through Morse code and radio. Before that, the systems had been used mostly by railroaders. Because of the interference that resulted when regular citizens got involved, some railroad folks would make comments like, "'There are those 'hams' again.' It stuck."
As amateur radio operators, Bishop and his daughter cannot accept money for the work they do, instead using the radio for fun and service to others. They see their hobby as a way to give back to the community. They communicate about weather conditions as well as local events like the Christmas parade.
Even when they're not working, Bishop and his daughter enjoy communicating on the radio.
"I'm on just about everyday," Bishop remarked. "It's relaxing and I like to listen." Emily's on the radio "when I have time during the week and on weekends."
Invariably, when she's at school wearing one of her jackets with a radio logo, people ask about her favorite hobby.
Still, Emily wants to enter the medical field someday and is especially interested in learning to be a midwife. "I love babies," she said.
People interested in learning more about amateur radio don't have to spend a lot of money to get started. Bishop, a former Bowater employee, said a lot of money can be spent, but it's not necessary.
Whether talking to people all over the world or nearby, Bishop believes ham radio is more reliable than just about any kind of communication. "Ham radio will never fail," he commented. "Cell phones will fail, the Internet will fail ... but as long as you have a battery, a radio and a piece of wire, you can use the ham radio. It runs off of 13.8 VDC (Voltage Direct Current). You can run it off a generator. CBs won't fail. You just operate under different guidelines."
"You can even build your own antenna," Bishop said earlier. "It's made of steel with copper coating." He noted that to talk on a certain frequency, you use a certain length of wire.
A frequency, research shows, is the rate at which a vibration occurs that constitutes a wave, either in a material (as in sound waves) or in an electromagnetic field (as in radio waves and light), usually measured per second.
The origin of the word "frequency" is from the mid-16th century, gradually superseding the late middle English "frequence," originally denoting a gathering of people.
If this dad and daughter are any indication, people can make strong connections through radio and other forms of communication. "We have this hobby in common and it helps us get along," Emily explained.
"It's just me and Emily," her dad added. "Emily helps me."
"The biggest part of (amateur radio)" Bishop concluded, "is that it's a way to give back. It teaches you not to look at yourself all the time."

Abnormal Central Venous Pressure
Deborah J. Cook, David L. Simel
Although the abdominojugular reflux test is an insensitive way to diagnose congestive heart...
Topics Discussed:
abdominojugular reflex test, central venous pressure, measurement of, central venous pressure-biological function, congestive heart failure, sensitivity, specificity
We describe 3 studies that have reported the relation between clinical assessments of CVP and the gold standard of simultaneous pressure measurements through an indwelling central venous catheter.
When the clinical assessment was reported as low, normal, or high, the pooled overall accuracy was 56%. In one study,
venous pressure was assessed in each of 50 intensive care unit patients by one of 3 intensive care unit attending physicians, one of 6 medical residents, and one of 6 medical students. Although all groups tended to underestimate venous pressure, only the residents did so to a statistically significant degree. The correlation coefficient between clinical assessment and central line measured CVP was highest for medical students (0.74), slightly lower for residents (0.71), and lowest for staff physicians (0.65), and these correlations improved slightly when patients receiving mechanical ventilation were excluded. The students' data from this study
(Table 11-3) display the results for 2 clinical questions: "Is the patient's true CVP low?" and "Is the patient's true CVP high?"
Despite small numbers of participants, it is apparent that a clinically assessed low CVP increases the likelihood by about 3-fold that the measured CVP will be low; no patient clinically assessed as having a high CVP had a low measured CVP. Similar results hold when the clinician considers whether the patient has increased CVP. Clinical assessments of a high CVP increase the likelihood by about 4-fold that the measured CVP will be high; conversely, clinical assessments of a low CVP make the probability of finding a high measured CVP extremely unlikely (likelihood ratio [LR], 0.2). The data demonstrate that clinical assessments of a normal CVP are truly indeterminate, with LRs approaching 1; such estimates provide no information because they neither increase nor decrease the probability of an abnormal CVP.
Aside from less observer variation, the data suggest that CVP estimates achieve greater accuracy among patients breathing spontaneously. However, the relatively small patient population creates an opportunity for further studies on how mechanical ventilatory assistance affects clinical assessment of CVP...."

Does the sound of galloping hooves make your heart race? Does the sight of a majestic horse and rider sailing over a high fence make you cheer? Are you considering naming your next daughter Rachel Alexandra?
If you answered yes, consider yourself a horse lover. But did you know that you don't have to go to Pimlico or Great Meadow for a little equine adventure? Show Place Arena and Prince George's Equestrian Center in Upper Marlboro hosts horse shows nearly every weekend from mid-March through early November, and most of them are free.

Lie Detectors to be Used for Airline Security
CowboyNeal posted more than 9 years ago | from the obviously-a-machine-knows dept.
504swimgeek writes "A new walk-through airport lie detector being made in Israel may prove to be the toughest challenge yet for potential hijackers or drugs smugglers. The product has been tested in Russia and should be commercialized soon. The software in the detector picks up uncontrollable tremors in the voice that give away liars or those with something to hide, say its designers. Passengers that fail the test are then required to undergo further questioning or even search."

We've fallen in love with this simple but ingenious project from Portuguese designer Gonçalo Campos: Dedo is a writeboard made from artificial fur, "a much more comfortable message board, with no need for erasers or pens." Leave a note by running your fingers over it, erase it by smoothing the faux fur all the same direction. So fun.
Available for purchase from Campos's own website, or from Arcademi.

He's tucked in Cincinatti, has been flooding the internet with free downloadable twerk and trap records, and has been incredibly consistent as a solo artist. This collaboration with Seattle resident John Kim is the next wave, though. They've created a hybrid hardstyle and trap tune with crazy melody and incredible sequencing, and this one landed right in time for the start of the festival season. It's undeniably massive, and available as a free download. It's also a Do Androids Dance exclusive. Snag it up!

Help! I need a bog education. I have been growing "marginal" plants in containers (Joe-Pye, Calla Lily, Ligularia, Gunnera, Hibiscus mosheutos, Arundo, Colocasia, on-and-on...)due to the fact that I am renting and have no pond right now. Well, the heat hit and we went out of town for a week so I had the bright idea of sticking all of these containers in wading pools. Well...now the roots have rotted off the Eupatorium and the Ligularia look crummy. If these plants like boggy soil, why do they hate standing water? What does it take to acclimate these plants back to a pond? Is there a difference between a bog and just standing a container in a pond? Would sure appreciate your expertise on this issue...thanks,JJ |

JJ, OXYGEN! Many marginals like a constant supply of moisture. Not to be sitting in water. Major difference will be that moist soil, or even running water will have oxygen available to the roots, a wading pool, especially in hot weather will have none. I have had the same with ligularia, thought it could stand in water, but it didn't, simply rotted away. Lots of plants, if placed in deep pots and half submerged in water, ie half way up the put will terminate their roots at the water level, after 6 months if you knock the plant out the pot, it will look like it has been in a shallow pot with no roots going down to the bottom. The plant has nevertheless been in constant moisture. Others like the candlearbre primulas will send their roots out through the bottom of the pot and be perfectly happy with white roots lying fully underwater, you need to experiment as this will tell you the conditions in which to eventually plant your plants once you have your bog. Sit your pots in a tray with 1/2" of water only in the base. Those that put their roots out to get more water will survive and probably relish being planted with their crowns closer to the water level. Those that show stunted rotting root at the base of the pot obviously want to be planted higher where they can reach the moisture without being in it. Meanwhile, you shouldn't lose the plant as it will still be living off it's roots in the pot above the water level. Some plants also take seasonal flooding, interesting to note whether this is in the growing season, or in the dormant one. The classic for this is the Japanese ensata iris where in growth in the paddy fields it is flooded while in winter it has relative dryness. Others get "moved about" by floods while dormant, and set up new colonies when the floods recede. Happy planting, Greenmanplants |

Thank you for the good info, Greenman. It is much appreciated! To anyone: Still wondering where the "water-table" is in a bog. Seems to me that muck would be anaerobic; how are you able to create aerated soil in a bog situation? |
Jim, here's a good site which I've found helpful. Lilypons has been in the aquatics business for decades...when they say something I've found it to be "spot-on". They recommend like Greenman's post that you start off at just minimum water depth and proceed to lower gradually to maximum recommended depth for a particular plant. They have most of your plants probably so you can check for each. They have a good section on bog construction as well (site is a little frustrating to navigate...I'm going to order catalog!). Seems it's not necessary to provide drainage...something I hadn't yet made up my mind about. Anyway, I have just pond now, but intend building bog for many plants now in individual containers. In our GA heat, anything that doesn't need watering every day is a winner! josh |
Here is a link that might be useful: Bog Plants
we do it that hard way. We fill up the kiddy pool with pea gravel and dirt (stacked high), fill the pool up with water until it looks like soup and just stuff the plants into the muck. The problem is the pots. The pots don't allow anything to circulate. |
I'm growing several varieties of Cyperus, Scirpus, Equisetum, Canna, Colocasia, Carex, Acorus, all in individual clay pots sitting in deep (2 to 4 inch) trays or saucers of water. All doing fine. I water from the top and refill the bottom container every other day. On really hot days the bottom container is dry...these plants really love water! I was growing a Canna 'Pretoria' last year in a 16" plastic pot in a pool, about 10" deep. In the Fall it looked so good I decided to bring it inside for a few weeks, thinking it would soon die back. To my amazement it continued to look good all winter, even putting up new stalks, just sitting in a 2 "deep saucer of water. I watered from top regularly, too. It just adapted amazingly well! A couple of weeks ago I removed a potted Black Taro, Colocasia esculenta 'Black Magic", from that same 10" deep pool, to adapt it to drier soil since I'll be taking it inside this Fall. Lost a few leaves but it seems okay so far. I'm keeping it watered well. This is just how these particular plants have done for me. I've not grown Ligularia,Eupatorium or Iris. |

Billboards honoring inspiring individuals around Acadiana area
Lafayette, LA (KADN) — Seven individuals that practiced many different things and inspired many different people will now be honored on four different billboards throughout Acadiana in celebration of African American History month.
"I think that one, we need to educate particularly the youth of our community about those who have struggled to made better opportunities for them. Secondly, it sets Lafayette apart from many cities across the United States because I believe this is a first," says Jenelle Chargois, General Manager of R&M Broadcasting.
The billboards started today and will run at four different locations throughout this community and those surrounding. Everyone is encouraged to join the 10th Annual African American History Parade that will be held on February 24. It has quickly become one of the largest parades in this area.

Covidien Stories: I created my job...
I created my job
Jennifer, Manager of Research and Development
I enjoy the autonomy, flexibility and opportunities that exist here. I am currently in a role that's new to Covidien. There was a need in Research & Development to have a centralized hub for surgeon feedback and requests, and because of my interactions with surgeons over the years, I had built a good network of contacts and was a good fit. After a year in the position, I was given the opportunity to propose expansion of the role. Today, I'm managing a staff of four.

He was on the Board of Ambassadors to St. Rita's Medical Center, a member of the Allen County Private Industry Council, the Allen County CETA Citizens Advisory Council and the Bath Township Board of Zoning Appeals. Following his retirement from Lima Technical College, he and his wife, Colleen, moved to Henderson, Nev., where he continued to teach part time in the subjects he was most passionate about, Latin and Greek, working with students at the College of Southern Nevada and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). Despite living in Nevada, he continued to cheer tirelessly for his favorite sports team, his alma mater, The Ohio State Buckeyes.

Anyone know anything about this hybrid?It is advertised to be a late and a high producer? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by carolyn137 z4/5 NY (My Page) on Thu, Jul 26, 07 at 16:44
All I know about it is probably the same that you do. That is, it's a Harris bred variety, one of the newer hybrids. I don't know of anyone who has grow it and reported back on it specifically. But from those that like to grow Harris hybrids, and I'm one of them, taste-wise the faves still seem to be Supersonic and Jet Star, Moreton Hybrid no longer being sold. All three are a result of some of the earliest breeding efforts they did and as far as I'm concerned have some of the best tastes one will find in hybrids. Carolyn |
Here is a link that might be useful: Primetime F1
It's a great late deteminate with loads of 10+ oz fruit. Taste is good also, seeds are small. I have over 500 in that are just setting the first cluster. |
Dr. Carolyn Quote: "Moreton Hybrid no longer being sold" I like the Jet Stars are the Moretons worth seeking out to find seeds somewhere are they as good as Jet Star in taste & production? |
I have grown Primetime for 4 years and find them to be a very good tomato. They are a LARGE late determinate which sets a good crop of delicious tomatoes, every one is perfect and uniform(about 10-12 oz.). Supersonic is still my favorite large tomato, but Primetime is really good too, it comes on when everything else is almost done. JMO, Tom |
- Posted by carolyn137 z4/5 NY (My Page) on Fri, Jul 27, 07 at 3:55
are the Moretons worth seeking out to find seeds somewhere are they as good as Jet Star in taste & production? ***** There's already a long thread here about Moreton Hybrid which I'm sure you can find with a quick scan or search. Seed production for Moreton Hybrid has ceased. The only seed you'll find is in the hands of some folks who already had some seeds, witness what you read in that long thread. I sit here with a partially full pack of Moreton Hybrid seeds myself. And yes, it was just as productive as Jet Star and Supersonic are. Of those three that were hybridized so many years ago, my favoite is still Supersonic and seeds are still being sold. Carolyn |

Mary Hart Might Need to Issue a Retraction About Her Statement on Retractions
Never say never, Mary.
Entertainment Tonight host Mary Hart joins exec producer Linda Bell Blue in standing by the show's story about Angelina Jolie giving birth, telling the LA Daily News (via women-hater Liz Snead) on Saturday at a Cedars-Sinai Heart Foundation event: "No one has seen Angelina in the last two weeks. I hope that the babies were born when we said they were and that we had our facts straight. I have never retracted a story in 26 years, but all I can do now is wait and see."
Oh really, Mary? Never. had. to. retract. a. story. in. 26. years?
From a 2001 interview on Larry King Live:
CALLER: I wonder, have you publicized a major story, that later proved to contain inaccurate information?
KING: Good question. Did you ever break a story that wasn't?
HART: Do you know what, I don't know that a major story. I can't think of a major story that we have broken, that was incorrect. But we have had to correct some things that were false, that were not major points, but yes we have had to retract things.
Not that we're splitting hairs – between "major story" and "things" – or anything.
Big difference in a story and just having to change the time from 1:00 pm to 1:30 pm , let's not get silly here. This is a big story. All Jolie has to do to end this is show herself. Simple as that. It is very easy to track a email and who it belongs to. This is a no brainer. Jolie likes this attention, it is driving up the interest in the babies, but honestly, who cares really? Once you get past girl or boy and then names, the interest is pretty much over. She and Pitt are making fools out of themselves acting like highschool kids.
Mary Hart is not only a liar but a total insentive Bitch, she would rather have the babies born prematurely just so to save her ass, and couldnt care less about the health of the babies or even Angelina!
Why are they so ashamed to do a retraction, when everyone knows already that they know that they only stupidly got the news from a fly by night blogger.
No. 1 Robin Jones says:

What an idiot! Why would Jolie show herself just to prove that they are wrong, in the first place she did not cause ET's blunder much less the confusion??
Angelina is smart enough not to fall to their trap, she doesnt have to do anything, its her babies, she can do whatever, they are not accountable to the media or whoever,and they dont need to respond to the irresponsible media, as long as it doesnt harm them. And this issue doesnt harm them, only ET made a fool of themselves, thats for sure!
I heard someone say,Does Mary hart And ET want to send their OBGYN to Give Angelina a check-up.Thats what ET wants,Angelina and Brad owe ET Nothing a big NADA.Shame on you Mary Leave the Pregnant woman alone,Let Her REST.Go HAVE YOUR OWN KID.
On the LA Times blog, Hart said SHE never had to issue a retraction. I still think the Jolie camp lied to ET. ET is sitting on it b/c they have a good chance at a lawsuit due to all the money involved with that breeding machine.
Oh-Brad is outta there.
GMAFB. Everyone knows that ET took the story that was passed to a French source via a random blog that appeared on May 26th. ET doesn't want to admit that their staffers and a producer actually did that. Everyone knows exactly what they did. JP's attorneys had already notified the media that the story was false and to retract it. Did you see Access Hollywood, Extra, Inside Edition, E News or The Daily 10 run with it? No. Because they were informed ahead of time it's false. After the whole Anna Nicole Smith debacle this just cements how low ET has fallen. And Elizabeth Snead just needs to STFU already.
Annie it is never a wise action to take to parade your stupidity for all to read. ET and Mary Hart lied and refuses to do the right thing and say that they did. All the other entertainment shows received the same info at the same time that ET did from the lawyers and none of the others ran the lie from an obscure blog that has since disappeared. ET alone lied. Brad and Angie will announce the birth of THEIR babies when they are born just as they did when Shiloh was born. Brad will be where ever Angie and their kids are, the man totally loves his family.
Oh I forgot the fake assistant who was spreading stories for a full year before they said anything. they'll announce the birth when the price is high enough.
Jossip, how did you become more responsible than the so called media. This is absolutely hilarious what the media has become. As for the hens b*tching about Angelina having to show herself, who the hell are you to make such demands? Who told your mother to show her face in order to prove some gossip hack has not lied to the public.
You wish Brad will be out of there, I guess you missed the man saying over a 15 year period that he wanted 7 children, no in your world a woman who has had two pregnancies is now a breeding machine. You stupid trolls are so colored by bitterness that you expose your stupidity all over the net and meanwhile Jolie has put her feet up with Pitt rubbing it and loving her. Find a life that you can enjoy or else you will die a bitter prune over some else's life.
ET, messed up, and to borrow from Star Jones, it is a shame that Mary Hart in the sunset of her gossip career will resort to lies and innuendos against a woman heavily pregnant with twins just to get ratings, the world has certainly gone to hell.
Mattie, I wanted to add that I did not attack you or anyone else whose opinions are different from mine. Give others the same courtesy. All we are doing is posting our thoughts on people we do not know, who will never know us, and only care about us as far as they can make money.
Angelina Jolie don't have to do a darn thing to prove anything, unless she is pressing any kind of charges. I'm sure she will have her babies when she (and they) are good and ready. Honestly I don't think she gives a flying toot for ET.
Honestly the only people this information concern is Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and their family. As for ET.. it's not like it's big news that they come out with half-asses truths or made of gossip - just to get attention.. It's like any other gossip rag - they DON'T care about the persons they "hunt" for stories.. as long as they can make money of them.
Stop watching ET - buying the gossip magazines and maybe all the hoohah about celebrities will die down, and THEY too can have a life of some sort without have an idiot climbing their fences or trees to take pictures. Whatcha think?
I don't know about anyone else, but I've noticed the wardrobe of Mary Hart of ET. Some days she dresses like my mother did in the 50's. Thought her 'stylist' should revamp the closet!!!
She looks fine on the red carpet of the Oscars or the Golden Globes but on the ET, some are near misses!

The Queue: When work invades raiding
Welcome back to The Queue, the daily Q&A column in which the WoW Insider team answers your questions about the World of Warcraft. Adam Holisky (@adamholisky) will be your host today.
I've been very busy with both my jobs lately. Here at WoW Insider has been hectic (all for good reasons, mind you), and my gig at the Minnesota Opera has been equally busy (although also for a good reason). Being busy is good in jobs, much better than having slow periods... but... it sure as heck cuts into my raiding time.
My poor, poor, guild... they're without my pathetic warlock DPS. Whatever will they do?
Answer: almost get another 25-man boss down.
I should be busy with work more often.
lackinganame asked:
again i may have missed this but do we know if in 5.2 the current set of valor gear will no longer take valor points and will instead be switched to justice points like we saw happen to gear sets in the Cata days?

Hello all... I am excited, just got home from work and checked on my girls. I have 4 sprouts. I planted them in soil mix on 12 Jan. I really did nothing special. Placed soil in a 3" pot, buried the seeds about a 1/4 inch or so (maybe more) only watered three times. Kept cling rap on top and placed on a Back Pain type heating mat (I know, I just ordered two heating mats with a thermometer last night :) ) The room temp stayed at 68 deg, the heating mat process sucked has it had a two hour timer. The soil ranged from 68-86. Up and down. (Wife did not want to turn mat on while I was at work). Anyway, I am happy as a kid in a candy store. I have 2 Bhut Jolokia, 1 Pumpkin Hab and 1 Moruga Trinidad Scorpion. Did I say I am happy and HOOKED... Two questions from this rookie. I will post picture after I drink a beer or three. Bill |
Follow-Up Postings:
Nice! First sprouts of the season are always exciting! You want light ASAP. A few extra days with heat won't really matter much, but light will. Both is fine as well, but, the heat isn't necessary. I would Wait until they have a few sets of leaves and there is one that is clearly outperforming the other. Or, if your other one doesn't sprout, you can separate the two you have if you do it soon before their roots get all tangled together. |
- Posted by Bill_Missy none (My Page) on Mon, Jan 21, 13 at 19:24
Thank you Tsheets. I just put them under the T-12 lights. I have read that palnts need 16-18 hours of light. Is this true for young sprouts? How many hours of light should they get until they set leaves? Bill |
- Posted by tn_gardening (My Page) on Mon, Jan 21, 13 at 19:51
Lucky dog. My seed cups went in to my homemade germination chamber (cardboard box + string lights) a couple weeks ago and still no sprouts. |
Bill: I would keep the heat for a few more days at least. Many keep the heat on for much longer after they sprout. The theory is that it aids in root development. But you should give them light soon after sprouting...a couple days won't matter but soon. Your T12 lights should work fine, put it right above the seedlings so the lights are with in an inch but not touching the plants. I suggest 6500K spectrum bulbs as well. They provide the spectrum of light most usable by plants. Some mix in a 5000k bulb as well to provide a bit more range. I usually go with 16-18 hours of light per day as well. Now that they are sprouting and you remove the cling wrap you will likely find that they the soil will dry out quicker if you are still using heat. Keep an eye on them but don't over water either. Good job and good luck. Post a picture when you have time. Bruce |

Thanks Guys. Great info as always. I came home from work today and had another Morgua sprout. I placed the sprouts from yesterday and the one from today right to light with no heat mat. I am watering very lightly with warm tap water. The ones from yesterday that spent the last 18 hours under light look good to me, but I dont know as this is my first ever time growing super hots. Attached are a few pictures taken an hour ago with the light off. I potted these in MG Seed Starting Potting Mix. I know it is to early to Fert, but when and with what should I feed with? My next batch of seeds to sow I will be trying MG Orchid mix for some and MG Hyponex for the others. I will be doing this, this weekend once I get my heating mats and thermostat. I am reading up on the 5-1-1 mix as that is what I am wanting to do as I am doing containers and ground planting. 1st Pic is the Morgua |

Bhut Jolokia. I put 2 seeds in the same hole as I did not believe they would sprout because of the vendor... But they did to my surprise |
- Posted by Bill_Missy none (My Page) on Tue, Jan 22, 13 at 20:02
RE: Ghost seedlings from unreliable vendor. Getting them to germinate is only half the battle. Then you have to wait to see if they are indeed Ghost Peppers or just a bell pepper or other common variety. I have some grow out common weeds for a month or more before realizing they were duped. However, just hope for the best and be prepared for something less than a Bhut. Good luck and the seedlings are looking good so far. Bruce |

Congrats Bill. I have some jalapeno seeds that germinated the other day and mine are about the size of your right now too. Oh and they were germinated in 5-1-1 mix. The coarseness of the mix seems to help get rid of the seed cap. I am expecting a shipment of super hots from a fellow GW member any day now and I will germ them in 5-1-1 mix. See you at the finish line. |
- Posted by LullabyF360 8a (My Page) on Thu, Jan 31, 13 at 23:23
My jalapenos sprouted within 3 days of me planting them. All 9 of them germinated. It has been about 4 days now & so far all of them are going strong. My Bolivian rainbow, however, time will tell on that one. |

Greg Bell, division director of the Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) at the Energy Department, has a message for federal agencies: Networking matters.
ESnet, the first 100 gigabit-per-second network at a continental scale, connects 40 labs and facilities and more than 100 total networks. In science terms, Bell said "faster data leads to faster discovery." In federal agencies, faster data translates to "better fulfillment of mission" and a more positive experience for end-users using myriad applications.
Bell suggested agencies step away from the old method of data transport, which he described as "a hard drive system plus FedEx." For most situations, that physical method of transfer – still common in government – almost always equates to a loss in efficiency.
"If you have a workflow that involves sharing data, combining or allowing others to access data, you don't want FedEx," said Bell, speaking at a briefing in Washington, D.C., on Feb. 20.
Bell then suggested a data transfer rate agencies should be able to meet.
"Can your users move one terabyte in an hour?" Bell said. "If not, please raise their expectations."
Common problems like "naively configured firewalls, lossy networks" – things like poor cabling, for example – and poorly configured end-systems hinder network speed. These kinds of problems are a much simpler fix than alternatives such as costly improvements to the physical network.
ESnet is a unique use case among networks. It has transferred tens of petabytes of scientific information from behemoth science facilities like the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva, Switzerland, since 1990 using increasingly fast physical networks optimized for "massive science data flows," Bell said.
ESnet is exploring the possibility of a prototype 400 gigabit-per-second network, and believes the scientific side of government is likely to see networks faster than 100 gigabits-per-second within the next 18 months.
Most civilian agencies do not yet require the kinds of network speeds that transfer science data to and from disparate supercomputing facilities, but data is growing at an exponential rate. The flood of data is going to require better networks in government, the largest data producer in the world.
"In the old world, we built business on what your network could do," said Stephen Alexander, senior vice president and CTO of Ciena. "What we want to get to now is that whatever business you're running, the network is responsive to it. The network is far more dynamic, far more real-time. It is time for the network to step up with compute and storage to build a better machine. And the machine needs to be infrastructure." Such a fundamental architectural change is "going to take some years to happen," Alexander said. But it will happen, and the government will have to adapt or be left behind in a bottleneck.

I'll second that. It's gotten so bad that even using resources within our own LAN is spotty at best. We won't even talk about trying to move data out of our LAN. The pile of firewalls, overly complicated access lists on routers in between, and YouTube saturated pipes make it impossible to do anything via the WAN. We even have trouble pulling Google these days. There answer? Buy more off brand equipment to put on the LAN to cause more latency and blocks; meanwhile still allowing YouTube to saturate a pipe meant for 200 people, yet serving 4000. Total failure.
This is impossible at our Agency they keep building enclaves, which are like isolate islands compartmentalized to the point of total dysfunction. It would take a year and a day, if at all, to get any a viable connection to anywhere. Many usable web site get filtered by generalized keywords, and it takes a pile of rarely successful administratium to get access, (can one say sneakernet; security inaction). To sum it up we suffer from a malignant form of urethral stricture. Good luck with this—it's a Callahan full-bore auto-lock.
