At least I think what I just bought is a golden pothos. Here's a pic:
http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=otxdymytyzn&thumb=5 It was labeled as "Assorted Houseplants" at Wal-Mart, but it looked just like a larger plant labeled as a golden pothos. I wanted the smaller one so that maybe I can learn to prune it properly and add some life to my basement/bedroom. Now, on to the questions. 1) What should I water it with? Tap water, or tap water filtered through my Brita pitcher? Or does it matter? I believe I read somewhere to water it when the soil feels dry to the touch and to dump the water out of the saucer an hour after you water it because they don't like their roots to stay wet. 2) Will it ever outgrow the pot I have it in? If it does, I guess I'll just keep re-potting it in bigger pots, but eventually I'm afraid it'll get so big that the pot won't fit in the windowsill. Are my fears unwarranted? 3) Will a basement window provide enough light for it? It said "No direct sun" on the tags of the bigger pothos. A large maple tree outside my window filters the light and the window rarely, if ever, gets direct sun. 4) When and how do you prune it? I thought I read somewhere that you prune them when they get too viney and to trim right after the node a couple inches from the soil, but that may be wrong. 5) How often should I fertilize it? I bought some "Osmocote" outdoor and indoor plant food. It looks like little brown balls. Hope I got the right thing. It says to give a houseplant in an 8-inch pot 1 tsp of it, but my pothos is in a 6-inch pot. I guess I'll just give it a little less than a tsp. It also says to re-fertilize every 4 months. Is that right? I'm sorry for all the long-winded questions, but this is my first houseplant and I'm afraid I'll end up killing the poor thing. Thank you all for listening to the rambling of a newbie. And thanks in advance for your answers. |
Follow-Up Postings:
That is indeed a Pothos. Looks pretty nice for a Wal-Mart plant. 1) I use regular tap water, but I let it sit for 24 hours to reach room temperature. Cold water shocks the roots and hot water kills roots. I let mine dry out between waterings. Leave it dry too long and leaves with brown and die. Too much water and they'll yellow and eventually your plant will rot to death. 2)Yes it will. Every plant eventually does, as they grow...that's just what plants do. What you can do is either pot it up in a slightly (1-2inches larger than the last pot) larger pot or you can trim the roots and foliage and repot it in the same size pot. 3)Pothos can tolerate low light levels but definitely keep it away from direct light. What way does your window face? 4)You can prune whenever you want but Spring time is best as this is when active growth begins and it's easier for the plant to recover. I believe you can trim it as much or as little as you want. 5) I don't know what the Osmocote is but I use liquid fertilizer (Shultz brand) as it's much easier to control the dilution ratios. Sorry I can't advise you on the Osmocote. Best of luck to you and happy growing. |

Thanks, I think I bought it as soon as they unloaded it off the truck so they didn't have time to neglect it. 1) Alrighty. 2) Would trimming the roots not kill the plant? 3) My window faces the east. Every now and then the sun finds a way to pierce the leaves of that maple tree for about 15 minutes or so. 4) OK. Spring it is. 5) Here's a link for the Osmocote: http://www.scotts.com/smg/catalog/productTemplate.jsp?proId=prod70362&itemId=cat50116 Looks like it's made by Scott's, the people who make Miracle Grow. Hopefully it'll work alright. Thanks for the answers Bunnygurl! |

You fell in love with one of the easiest, most tolerant and forgiving houseplants possible. Good choice! Take a deep breath..... Water: Light: Fertilizing: Pruning: Repotting: |

Hi CK, I can't look at your pic, but if it's a Pothos, pls. take a deep breath & try to relax. These are plants that do well w/ neglect, seriously. Not to be fussed over, pls. just do some basic reading on Pothos & soils. Worrying about every aspect all at once in the beginning is not going to help. Pls. take a moment to try one thing at a time. Learn about pots & mix, forget about fertilizers for a while; it won't need it right away. This is not a plant that folks prune. Be advised the one way to kill this plant is overwatering, so pls. know you'll need to let it dry out btwn waterings. |
- Posted by cheeseking (My Page) on Wed, May 5, 10 at 13:19
Alrighty. I think I've calmed down a little. I'll make sure not to overwater it and take things one step at a time. |
- Posted by cheeseking (My Page) on Fri, May 7, 10 at 11:55
I bought a moisture sensor to make sure I don't overwater it. It goes from a scale of 1 to 10. I think I'll let it get down to a 2 before watering. |
Wanted to show you a couple of fun things you can do with your Pothos once it starts growing vigorously. The pot at the left actually contains two different varieties of pothos - golden and marble queen and I think they make a good contrasting display. You can also raise your pothos to a higher level and let the vines trail like I have done in the pot to the right. Have fun with your Pothos! Hemant
Ugh, Walmart. Took a browse last week at one of the supercenters, half the houseplants were dead, dying, and completely dry and in a completely inappropriate part of the store with no special lighting at all. Pretty sad considering all those plants were moved across the continent just to die in a Walmart in Canada. |
Oh, and Pothos are great plants, fairly forgiving if you forget once and a while. One of mine is now around 12 feet long, and arching along a hallway door frame. Also propagate easily. Cut a stem (better yet, several), put it in a pot with soil and water it and you'll have a whole new plant. |

I've never used moisture meters, have also heard folks here who say they are not accurate. I'd suggest you try learning its watering w/out that. Many of us learn to do this w/ the weight of the pot dry vs. the weight of the pot wet, it you lift the pot in each of these conditions, you'll get the idea. OR, take a pencil, push it ALL the way down in the pot & lift it out again. If some mix sticks to the pencil, there' still moisture, if it doesn't, there isn't. If you've ever baked & tested a cake for doneness w/a skewer or knife, it's the same idea. |

Don't bother with moisture meter with pothos. It can even grow in water, so we are not worrying about root rot here. Do anything to it, and soon you will have too many pothos plants. Ok, that might be a little exeggeration, but pothos is really a very easy plant. For watering, water until the water starts to run out of the drainage holes, then don't bother with it until the top become dry to the look for maybe 2 or 3 days, then water again. If you misjudge, it will be fine too. If you under water to a certain degree, you will see the leaves looking depressed and wilting, water immediately then, but they will come back. In general, don't wait until that stage, however. Fertilize about one a month with a general purpose fertilizer. I use about 1 tspn/gallon of water. For pruning, just think of it/them as your hair. Some like it long, others like it short, so depending on where or what container you put it in, prune whenever you like. Remember "prune 1 get 2 free." When you prune, the originally plant usually shoot out two new branches, and the cutting that you took can be rooted as a new plant. :-) If this plant somehow get you interested in house plant keeping, you can do more research on other plants, but don't spend too much time on pothos (unless you enjoy the reading part, of course). Oh, I've got to take and show you some pictures of my pothos. Be right back. |

Wow, some of those pics... That's cool looking. I wish I had enough room to let mine grow like that. I think I'm going to just try to keep mine bushy. I'll try to learn to gauge when it needs watering by the weight of the pot, but I think that'll take a while. |

Although your plant is called "Pothos" is it not truly a member of the genus Pothos. The plant is Epipremnum aureum which originated in the Solomon Islands according to aroid botanist Peter Boyce. It is now found in tropical locations all over the world and in Hawaii is considered an invasive species. I have a plant that has now reached almost 15 feet tall and the leaves are around 30 inches. They take on a completely different shape as they morph as a result of natural growth called ontogeny Just like you don't look like your own baby pictures any longer, the adult form of this plant looks nothing like the juvenile you are now growing. The species is tropical and loves high humidity, evenly damp soil and right light. It will survive in low light but it is really seeking bright light which is why it climbs. You can read more here including photos of adult leaves. Rather than grow as it would in nature the plant remains a juvenile for it entire life if kept in low light. Some sites claim your plant is Epipremnum pinnatum but scientifically that is a totally different plant. Steve |

Well, that's informative. Much obliged, friend. |

Just got my first plants to brighten up our home. I bought two different plants and after research found out one of them is poisonous. Is the pothos okay to have around kids who might take a nibble every once in a while? |
can someone tell me how to arrange cuttings of pothos in a pot. I want to fix some pots with the slat in the middle and have the runners go up the slat. Should I put some of the runners around the inside of the pot, and then plant several runners in the soil up against the slat and let them climb up the slat? I have about 40 ft. of runners between 2 plants. I think pothos looks pretty growing that way. Thank you for your help. |
Pothos are great, mine is almost 7 ft long. I have had my metal stem moisture meter for 10 years. It works great. If you meter is metal and all your plants are measuring dry, put the meter into a glass of water. If it still reads dry take a piece of sand paper and lightly sand the stem. It will be as good as new again. |
I just recently bought two golden pothos baby plants. i have always been a fan of vine plants but do not have a green thumb. i joined this site for everyone help. I was told that miracle grow plant food is good for house plants so i fed it to the plants also i put it in my bedroom window that have blinds the sun is coming in but i have the blinds turned up so that the sun is not coming straight in is this ok. also i wanted to know is it ok to repot them in the miracle grow soil. and when do i repot them from the pot they came in to a different pot pot. I'm afraid of not being able to take care of it since i don't have a green thumb yet so everyone advice is greatly appreciated . sorry for so many questions at once |
davemichigan wow-- those pics are fantastic! I just want my "Brasil" bushy for now, having a hard time of getting it like I want it for some reason. But I am learning and it isnt dying, so something is going right. Do "Brasil" leaves get as big as Pothos leaves? I will have to look it up and compair the 2. Next time I "trim" mine tho, I am just going to put it in water to grow.. see what happens. DH wants nothing but vines.. so he has "his" little potho, tho I am the one taking care of it-- funny how that works. lol |
I hit submit instead of preview~ hate it when that happens. The cuttings will be in water, not the whole plant. And that question about leaves size? disregard that, I can look for it-- lol anyway-- if there is a way to Un-post a post-- wish someone would tell me-- /sigh |

been little need for treatment. Increased dosages and frequent patterns of use, as seen during the second and fourth cycles, have resulted in abuse, and these trends have been paralleled by an increase in the number and diversity of treatment services.
Therefore, it is important to recognize that behavior in the current fourth cycle includes several patterns of use associated with low doses and low toxicity, albeit large numbers of users (e.g., coca tea drinkers and some social intranasal users). Consequently, it might be more efficient to focus medical treatment resources on specific types of users who are almost always abusers (e.g., cocaine smokers) rather than targeting all users per se. However, it is equally important to note that even within a particular group such as crack users, individuals may differ substantially in the severity of their dependence. Thus, treatment services must remain adaptive to the needs of clients and flexible in approaches.
In cases of cocaine intoxication and acute toxic reactions, treatment can be guided by clear diagnostic criteria including physical and behavioral indices. But diagnosis of cocaine abuse and dependence do not rest on such clear signs as intoxication or even route of administration. Rather, such determinations rely more heavily on an individual's self-reported history of cocaine use. Self-reported histories are not completely trustworthy: they may be lacking in important details, they may be self-serving, or people give confused histories because of intoxication. Therefore, treatment services might benefit by utilizing the RIAH toxicology test as an aid to diagnosis and to monitor treatment itself.

1 | Boston Red Sox
2006 3rd place 86-76
Manager: Terry Francona.
Key free agents: OF J.D. Drew (5 years, $70 million), SP Daisuke Matsuzaka (6 years, $52 million), SS Julio Lugo (4 years, $36 million), RP Joel Pineiro (1 year, $4 million), RP J.C. Romero (1 year, $1.6 million).
Acquired in trade: RP Brendan Donnelly (from Angels).
Going, going, gone: SS Alex Gonzalez (signed by Cincinnati), OF Trot Nixon (signed by Cleveland), 2B Mark Loretta (signed by Houston).
On the hot seat: Red Sox fans will expect a lot for $70 million, which is what the team paid Drew to replace the popular Trot Nixon in right field. They won't be thrilled the first time Drew ends up on the disabled list.
Written in Stone: It was always hard to imagine Pineiro being entrusted to close, yet for much of spring the Sox were headed that way. They finally came to their senses and put Jonathan Papelbon back where he excelled last year. Provided his shoulder withstands the workload, that is the final piece to what could be a powerhouse. If Matsuzaka is close to the pitcher he was in Japan — and I think he will be sensational — the Red Sox are in position to surpass the Yankees. Despite the annual rumblings of a possible Manny Ramirez trade, the Big Papi-Manny combo is back again to inspire fear and loathing around the league. If Drew stays healthy behind them, look out.
2 | New York Yankees
2006 1st place 97-65
Manager: Joe Torre.
Key free agents: SP Andy Pettitte (1 year, $16 million), SP Kei Igawa (5 years, $20 million), 1B Doug Mientkiewicz (1 year, $1.5 million).
Going, going, gone: OF Gary Sheffield (traded to Detroit), SP Randy Johnson (traded to Arizona), SP Jaret Wright (traded to Baltimore), RP Octavio Dotel (signed by Kansas City), OF Bubba Crosby (signed by Cincinnati).
On the hot seat: Working for George Steinbrenner means your seat is always a little warm, but the Yankees haven't won the World Series since 2000, and Torre might not be back next season if they fall short again.
Written in Stone: This just in: The Yankees have a monster payroll and a boatload of talent. Of course, fat lot of good it's done them in the A-Rod era. Much of the focus this year will be on Rodriguez's out clause and his co-existence with lapsed buddy Derek Jeter. The Yanks' lineup, as usual, is loaded from top to bottom. Well, at least until you get to Mientkiewicz. The pitching staff has more worries than usual, starting with Chien-Ming Wang, last year's breakout 19-game winner, out with a hamstring injury. Look for Steinbrenner to make an all-out effort to land Roger Clemens, once the Rocket deigns that he's ready to play. In an upset, Carl Pavano might actually pitch this year.
3 | Baltimore Orioles
2006 4th place 70-92
Manager: Sam Perlozzo.
Key free agents: OF-1B Aubrey Huff (3 years, $20 million), OF Jay Payton (2 years, $9.5 million), RP Danys Baez (3 years, $19 million), RP Chad Bradford (3 years, $10.5 million), SP Steve Trachsel (1 year, $3.1 million), RP Jamie Walker (3 years, $12 million).
Acquired in trade: SP Jaret Wright (from Yankees).
Going, going, gone: SP Rodrigo Lopez (traded to Colorado), RP LaTroy Hawkins (signed by Colorado).
On the hot seat: Shortstop Miguel Tejada has been an All-Star each of his three seasons in Baltimore but hasn't always been a happy camper. Get ready for another summer of Tejada trade rumors.
Written in Stone: This organization has been an unadulterated mess for a decade, but there might finally be faint reason for hope. It lies mainly in a rotation that, amazingly, is pretty decent, with a chance to be better than that. Erik Bedard and Adam Loewen are rising talents, while Daniel Cabrera's stuff is as nasty as any in baseball. The O's hope this is the year he harnesses it. The season-ending shoulder injury to Kris Benson was a blow, but quickly signing Steve Trachsel wasn't a bad fallback. Jaret Wright will never be the pitcher he could have been, but he still has untapped potential. What's more, the Orioles made a valiant effort to upgrade their pen as well.
4 | Toronto Blue Jays
2006 2nd place 87-75
Manager: John Gibbons.
Key free agents: DH Frank Thomas (2 years, $18 million), SS Royce Clayton (1 year, $1.5 million), SP Tomo Ohka (1 year, $1.5 million), SP John Thomson (1 year, $500,000).
Going, going, gone: OF Frank Catalanotto (signed by Texas), SP Ted Lilly (signed by Cubs), C Bengie Molina (signed by San Francisco), RP Justin Speier (signed by Angels).
On the hot seat: Right-hander A.J. Burnett has great stuff, but he has never won more than 12 games. He was 10-8 in his first season with the Blue Jays, but needs to do better if Toronto is going to overtake the Yankees and Red Sox.
Written in Stone: There was dancing in the streets of Toronto last year when the Blue Jays finished ahead of the Red Sox. Well, not quite, but at least it was something, after finishing third to New York and Boston seven times in the previous eight years (and dead last the other year). The Jays' ultimate goal, of course, is to surpass both AL East powers and return to the playoffs for the first time since winning it all in 1993. That's still a longshot, but the gap is getting smaller. With Frank Thomas on board, there's no respite in the first six spots in the lineup. Roy Halladay, a perennial Cy Young candidate, anchors a top-heavy rotation. Ohka and Josh Towers must perform as they rarely have in their journeymen careers.
5 | Tampa Bay Devil Rays
2006 5th place 61-101
Manager: Joe Maddon.
Key free agent: 3B Akinori Iwamura (3 years, $7.7 million).
Going, going, gone: OF Damon Hollins (Japan), RP Travis Harper (released).
On the hot seat: So little is expected of the Devil Rays, it's hard to imagine anyone on a hot seat, but a lot is expected of right fielder Delmon Young. Hit 30 homers. Drive in 100 runs. Don't throw any bats at umpires.
Written in Stone: The Rays swear they have a plan. Apparently, it involves spending no money, alienating your fans, and raking in the profits. To be fair, Tampa Bay has some exciting young prospects, both in the majors and minors (though it's got to hurt to watch former No. 1 overall pick Josh Hamilton, who flamed out because of drug abuse, flourish in Cincinnati). On the bright side, their outfield of Young-Carl Crawford-Rocco Baldelli takes a backseat to no one's. And tuck away the name Elijah Dukes — he's got a world of potential, but like Young, comes with some attitude issues. Elsewhere, it's high time for B.J. Upton, once forecast as a can't-miss superstar, to make his mark. The Rays envision him as a Chone Figgins-like super-utility man. Hey, it's a start. The Rays' pitching can be summed up in one word: Yuck. Scott Kazmir excepted, of course. And James Shields is giving off positive vibes this spring. But closer Seth McClung is McAwful.

"Yum! I halved the recipe and omitted oil and it still came out great. I think the maple syrup (I used imitation) was terrific! This is a dense loaf, rising and rounding beautifully. While I like a fluffier bread, this is a great loaf option. With a cream cheese spread or icing, WOW!"

"I selected this recipe for its use of yogurt. They were bland looking and bland tasting. I added cinnamon and nutmeg too. They're rather cakey/soft which is fine but overall they lack 'wow' factor. Perhaps these are better for children since they came from a children's recipe book?"
"LOVE the sweet and then rush of spice. I marinated the salmon for 2 hours prior (make sure sauce is completely cooled before adding to salmon, otherwise you'll cook it) and it was that more intense off the grill. If you dont like spice, reduce or eliminate cayenne and paprika."
"Excellent! What a great flavor for dumplings. I paried 1-fresh tomato w/ 1-can diced petite toms in water. I let it simmer with spices, onions, garlic and balsamic vinegar for 10-min.

Added green/red peppers and a variety of spicy English mustard. Also used our Irish mild cheese (no Gouda). Overall hit with many raves!"
"EXCELLENT! I loved the taste and tang of the lemon with the mustard. You could probably use a variety of mustards instead of Dijon.

My boyfriend's best buddy (all the way here in South Africa) recently started brewing his own stouts and ales, and with his birthday coming up we (bf and I) decided to design the old man some labels. Which is all fine and dandy, but I can't find dimensions for the label ANYWHERE! Boyfriend has informed me that he usually uses 750ml (25 oz) Castle Milk Stout bottles: http://www.saprointernational.com/pr...ilk-stout.html but since my father only drinks the lager from the 330ml (11 oz) cans, I don't have a bottle to measure from. Any help- it's really urgent as I NEED to have them printed before Thursday? :-/

Sherry Lynn Flor Pleads Guilty in U.S. Federal Cour
The United States Attorney's Office announced that during a federal court session in Helena, on November 1, 2011, before Senior U.S. District Judge Charles C. Lovell, SHERRY LYNN FLOR, a 54-year-old resident of Miles City, pled guilty to conspiracy to manufacture, distribute, and possess with intent to distribute marijuana. Sentencing has been set for March 8, 2012. She is currently released on special conditions.
In an Offer of Proof filed by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Joseph E. Thaggard, Paulette L. Stewart, and Jessica T. Fehr, the government stated it would have proved at trial the following:
A Cooperating Witness, CW1, would have testified that as far back as 2006, FLOR and others manufactured marijuana at an annual outdoor grow operation maintained on the premises of FLOR's home in Miles City. CW1 would have testified FLOR helped tend to the marijuana plants grown in the operation. CW1 would have testified FLOR and others stored the marijuana at the FLOR home and distributed it to others, including CW1 and his/her customers.
A Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agent would have testified that, in July 2007, he observed over thirty marijuana plants growing in the yard of FLOR's home in Miles City.
DEA agents would have testified they purchased approximately four ounces of marijuana during a transaction that occurred at FLOR's residence on October 27, 2007. The agents would have testified FLOR was present during the transaction and aided in its commission.
A DEA agent would have testified that in October 2008, he observed a photograph from a Montana newspaper that showed more than 20 marijuana plants growing in the yard of FLOR's residence in Miles City.
CW1 would have testified that, in early 2009, CW1 and others, including those affiliated with the marijuana production facility at FLOR's residence, decided to expand the manufacture and distribution of marijuana in Montana to locations outside of Miles City. Ultimately, commencing in 2009, those involved in the conspiracy grew marijuana at FLOR's residence in Miles City and at least one location near Three Forks, as well as a series of large greenhouses located in Helena. Once manufactured, the marijuana was distributed from various points, including locations in Helena, Missoula, Billings, and FLOR's residence in Miles City.
A DEA agent would have testified that, in 2010, he, along with special agents of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) began an investigation of the conspiracy described in the preceding paragraphs. He would have testified the investigation continues as of this date.
Cooperating Witness 2 (CW2) would have testified that he/she assisted members of the conspiracy to manage money generated by the sale of the marijuana. CW2 would have testified that members of the deposited money earned from the sale of marijuana manufactured during the conspiracy into bank accounts, including Wells Fargo Bank account number xxxxx4966. CW2 would have testified money from the Wells Fargo Bank Account was then transferred to another bank account or accounts. CW2 would have testified that, once in the latter accounts, the money was used to promote the unlawful conspiracy by providing compensation to the coconspirators or providing funds to finance the continued production and distribution of marijuana.
An Internal Revenue Service (IRS) agent would have testified he examined bank records related to the conspiracy. He would have testified that, ultimately, in excess of $1,000,000 was deposited in the various bank accounts employed to promote the conspiracy.
A representative of Wells Fargo Bank would have testified the bank is engaged in interstate commerce. The representative would have testified that, on April 16, 2011, $7,517 was deposited in Wells Fargo Bank account number xxxxx4966 during a financial transaction that occurred at a branch bank in Forsythe.
Numerous special agents of the DEA, IRS, ATF, FBI, EPA-CID, and the Department of Homeland Security would have testified that, on March 14, 2011, they searched FLOR's Miles City residence and the greenhouses located in Helena, as well as locations in Billings, Helena, and Missoula from which marijuana was distributed.
The agents would have testified they seized approximately 950 marijuana plants from the greenhouses in Helena. The agents would have testified they also seized a number of firearms from that facility as well.
The agents would have testified they seized marijuana ready for sale from distribution points maintained by the conspirators in Helena, Missoula, and Billings, as well as FLOR's home in Miles City. The agents would have testified they also seized a number of firearms from FLOR's home in Miles City.
The agents would have testified they seized documents FLOR's home in Miles City that establish the $7,517 deposited into the Wells Fargo Bank account via the April 16, 2010 banking transaction represented proceeds from the distribution of marijuana as part of the conspiracy.
DEA agents would have testified that they arrested FLOR at her Miles City home on June 29, 2011, following the return of the grand jury's initial indictment. The agents would have testified that, during the course of the arrest, they discovered more marijuana in FLOR's home and that the marijuana appeared to be intended for distribution.
FLOR faces possible penalties of 25 years in prison and could be sentenced to life, a $5,000,000 fine and at least 5 years supervised release.
The investigation was conducted by the following federal, state and local law enforcement agencies: the Drug Enforcement Administration, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations, Criminal Investigation Division of the Internal Revenue Service, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Environmental Protection Agency-Criminal Investigation Division, U.S. Customs and Border Protection-Border Patrol, and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. These federal agencies were assisted by local High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area task forces, the Northwest Drug Task Force, the Kalispell Police Department, the Flathead County Sheriff's Office, the Missoula Police Department, the Missoula County Sheriff's Office, the Missoula High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) Task Force, the Great Falls Police Department, the Cascade County Sheriff's Office, the Central Montana Drug Task Force, the Billings Police Department, the Yellowstone County Sheriff's Office, the Eastern Montana High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) Task Force, the Dillon Police Department, the Beaverhead County Sheriff's Office, the Park County Sheriff's Office, the Bozeman Police Department, the Gallatin County Sheriff's Office, the Belgrade Police Department, the Missouri River Drug Task Force, the Helena Police Department, the Lewis & Clark Sheriff's Office, and the Eastern Montana Drug Task Force - Miles City.

The course covers common road situations and focuses on how to tackle them using specific riding techniques. The exercises take place in a controlled and organized environment in the paddock, where road-based emergency situations are simulated.
These drills were specifically designed to teach you how to maintain better control of your bike in different conditions, and how to avoid potentially dangerous, everyday situations. Under the guidance of our experts you'll start noticing improvements immediately.
The day culminates in a double track session that will introduce you to riding controlled and fluid track lines. You'll leave this course a safer and more confident rider.
The Intermediate Course uses the brand new Monster 1200 Multistrada 1200, Hypermotard and Hyperstrada.
The intermediate course is divided into groups of six (up to a maximum of 42 riders), with each group led by an expert instructor. Some bikes are used in rotation.
The intermediate course consists of alternating practice and theory sessions. The on-bike practice features a series of 7 exercises performed in the paddock: braking, braking with an obstacle, going around a hairpin bend, double cornering, cornering in sequence, constant radius cornering and variable radius cornering. Since 2012, in partnership with Bosch, participants have been trained to use ABS on Monster and Multistrada.
After completing the paddock exercises, the afternoon programme starts with a technical briefing followed by two 20-minute track sessions. You'll enter the track accompanied by your instructor, who will safely guide the group around. You will have the track to yourself - no riders from other courses will be on the track during your session.
The required gear includes leathers, gloves, boots and a full-face helmet. If you can't provide any of these items, you can hire them when you purchase a course online at www.ducati.com (see the 'Clothing requirements' section for complete details on the required gear).
You must have a motorcycle licence (without engine displacement restrictions) to participate in the intermediate course.

Blizzard still mulling over a Diablo III console port
While the latest Diablo will be the easiest to port to a console, platform limitation makes Blizzard hesitant.
Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime, speaking during the recently concluded DICE, said the company is still looking into the possibility of porting Diablo III over to the consoles, but prefers the good ol' PC for now.
"I think you could make an argument that a game like Diablo might play very well on a console," said Morhaime. "It's something that we're actually doing an investigation into to see if that could make sense."
Morhaime says that there are a number issues that needs to be addressed before the console version is even thought of. For one, a major hurdle is to patch and add expansions, actions which are much easier on the PC, though not completely impossible on the consoles either.
When asked if Diablo III would be the easiest game from Blizzard to port over to consoles, Morhaime simply nodded in agreement.
We do hope that Diablo III does carry over to the consoles so everyone can have a share of Blizzard's genius. However, I am with developers when they say they would prefer to stick to the PC for now. Let's have the idea and the concept prepared before venturing out into unfamiliar territories shall we?
During Activision's financial call yesterday that saw the cancellation of Guitar Hero, CFO Thomas Tippl said not to expect anything from Blizzard this year, though two titles would be coming next year.

Over the next several weeks, the Seminole community and those surrounding will be the target of a series of market strategy studies which will be compiled by a Mississippi-based firm which was recently hired by the Seminole Economic Development Corp. to help recruit new business ventures into the local community.
According to Mike Tolleson, SEDC Executive Director in a Monday meeting of the SEDC's Board of Directors, representatives with The Retail Coach, LLC have began the initial stages of their development of a market/location intelligence, demand analysis, retail/developer strategies and an action plan for the corporation, as part of a $32,500 contract agreement between the corporation and private firm executed last month.
"It's my understanding that (The Retail Coach) will be conducting their license plate study this week in Seminole and around the area, including in the neighboring communities of Andrews and Hobbs, N.M.," said Tolleson.
In addition to the license plate study, The Retail Coach, LLC vice president Aaron Farmer, based out of the company's Austin office, has scheduled to visit Seminole on March 12 and 13, to visit the Seminole community and schedule individual meetings with local civic and business leaders to gather input on community needs and desires as part of the retail study development process.
Back in November 2013, Farmer briefly assessed the Seminole community's needs in a 30-minute presentation to SEDC officials as a sales pitch to corporation board members for his company's services, which as been used by some 250 communities within the State of Texas, including neighboring Andrews.
"You have a lot of things happening within your community," said Farmer, in the November presentation "However, from my brief assessment, I feel your community is way underserved, especially in three key areas."
Those areas included -- casual, sit down eateries, more clothing retailer options, and more grocery options.
"The traffic you have coming into and out of this town is remarkable," said Farmer, who is based out of the company's Austin office. "You take that, along with what all is happening within this area with the oil boom and your unique situation in steady growth with the German community, you have a lot of positive things going for you that regional and national retailers like to see when searching for new locations."
The Retail Coach, according to the company's website, is a national retail consulting, market research and development firm that combines strategy, technology and creative expertise to develop and deliver high-impact retail recruitment and development strategies to local governments, chambers of commerce and economic development organizations.
Farmer said the company could assist the SEDC -- through an 12-month contractual agreement -- in the recruitment of regional and national retailers through recruitment communications, as well as the development of local economic statistical information such as: demographics, psychographics, gap analysis, retail studies, land use/availability studies and vehicle license plate analysis.
"Retailers, especially the larger chain companies, want to know as much information about a community before making a decision on expanding," said Farmer. "Just like any business, they want to make sure they can be successful and make a profit before proceeding with any kind of development. And, that's a service we can provide."
As part of the January contract approved by SEDC officials with The Retail Coach, the SEDC paid The Retail Coach $10,000 upon the execution of the agreement to the company, $10,000 upon completion of Demand Analysis; and $10,000 upon presentation of final strategy development. The remaining $2,500 fee, according to contract language, is for reimbursable project expenses.
Members of the SEDC's Board of Directors opted to seek the market analysis to gain a better grasp on community needs from an outsiders perspective, especially with the Seminole community's vast growth in recent years.
Estimated figures released from the U.S. Census Bureau in the 2013 calender year indicate Gaines County has grown by 5.06 percent in population since its April 2010 official decennial count.
It's growth which mirrors a majority of counties within the West Texas region, which has been contributed to increased activities within the Permian Basin oil patch.
According to Census figures, Gaines County's estimated on July 1, 2012 population was quoted at being 18,413, which was up 887 persons from the official April 2010 count of 17,526.
In the 2010 Census process, the Seminole community was quoted as having 6,430 residents as of April 1, 2010 -- an increase of 520 residents from the April 1, 2000 count of 5,910.
Seminole, between the 2000 and 2010, saw a roughly eight percent increase in population growth, according to Census figures.
Seminole's 2010 figures mirror those of Gaines County, which reported a 21.14 percent population increase in the April 2010 count, according to Census Bureau numbers.
On average, Seminole has grown by just more than average of 1/2 percent annually between the April 2000 base figure and July 2009's estimates, with steady growth over 1 percent annually between estimates recorded in a period between July 2005 and July 2009.
Also on Monday
In other action Monday afternoon, SEDC officials approved the following agenda item requests:
• a proposed advertisement mock-up for the Texas Wide Open for Business publication, and;
• routine business items pertaining to monthly expenses/financial report and minutes from the board's January 27 regular meeting.

Division of Rheumatology Fellowship Program
Nancy Y.N. Liu, M.D., Fellowship Program Director
The goal of our fellowship is to provide our trainees with a broad foundation in clinical rheumatology and the appropriate skills required to practice independently as an adult rheumatologist in an academic or private clinical setting. The training over a two- year period has the following objectives: 1) acquisition of clinical competencies needed to evaluate and care for patients with rheumatic diseases; 2) development of skills to communicate and function as a consultant, member of a multi-disciplinary team, or primary provider; 3) establishment of lifelong, self directed learning skills to acquire new knowledge and the ability to incorporate them effectively into practice and health care systems; 4) promoting professionalism in interactions with patients, colleagues, administrators and health care organizations; 5) acquisition of the skills necessary for critical evaluation of research results through understanding of the steps in research methodology through individual project and journal review.
Each fellow has three continuity clinics based at UMMMC for the two years, and a VA outpatient clinic in the second year that substitutes for one UMMMC based clinic. Fellows have direct responsibility for their patients, providing ongoing care under the supervision of an attending preceptor at each clinic. Inpatient consults are shared amongst the first- and second-year fellows on a rotating monthly basis. During the inpatient consult months, the fellow is responsible for the supervision of residents and medical students rotating on the rheumatology service. The fellowship curriculum also includes rotations in 1) rehabilitation medicine; 2) sports medicine; 3) pediatric rheumatology; 4) hand service clinic; and 5) musculoskeletal imaging. In addition, the fellow is expected to develop a focused clinical research project over the two years that culminates in a presentation. Our division is also initiating training in the application of MSK ultrasound. Evaluation of the trainee is multi-dimensional and includes verbal feedback from supervising attendings; E*value; chart review; mini- CEX; annual inservice exam; ROSCE (under development) and annual evaluation committee summary.
Currently, our division has funding for four positions in the two year clinical fellowship. Thus two fellowship positions are offered each years. Our graduating fellows have continued in academia as clinical faculty or established private practices throughout the country.
Schedule for recruitment activities:
1. Our fellowship participates in ERAS and the national "Match" that occurs in December
2. ERAS applications are reviewed starting September 15
3. Deadline to submit ERAS application is September 15
4. Interviews start in September and continue through November
5. Candidates are chosen based on their academic achievement, letters of recommendation, and standardized test scores. Research and publications are not required but highly encouraged.

So i guess if i had to pick one id say yachtsman.

Business stays strong heading into the show
For the workboat industry, I don't think it mattered much who won the election last week. Why? Because I believed that under either Obama or Romney, the industry would not only be OK, but it would continue to gain strength next year and into 2014.
A big reason is the continued post-Macondo bounce in the Gulf of Mexico. Since early last year, growth in the U.S. Gulf rig and OSV markets has been steady. Throughout 2012, deepwater offshore permitting has continued to increase.
Shipyards have also started to refill order books. For Gulf yards, much of it is tied to the rebound offshore, and big fleet expansion plans from Harvey Gulf, Hornbeck and others. But other U.S. shipyards are filling slots with tugs, towboats, barges, ferries and other passenger vessels.
And despite the drought shaving a few pennies from quarterly earnings, barge operators are still doing OK and continue to show discipline, keeping barge supply-demand close to equilibrium. There was also some good news in the passenger vessel sector this year with the return of overnight paddlewheelers to the Mississippi River.
This should make for a great International WorkBoat Show. Once again, it is expected be our biggest show ever, with thousands of products and services on display. The show is set for Dec. 5-7 in New Orleans and exhibit hall registration is free through Dec. 4. You can register here.
For complete information, go to the International WorkBoat Show.
I am bothered more by the fact that the Obama Administration seems to be willing to waive off the Jones Act at the drop of a hat. Sure, Hurricane Sandy was tragic, but the decision to bring foreign ships in to move product that US equipment could and should have handled was over zealous to say the least. For the most part, the terminals that those ships would have been going to, aren't even up and running, 2-weeks after the storm struck. Plenty of time for other US resources to be utilized. I work on a coast ATB, and we have been busy....moving some of the product from the National Reserve system, to help with demand, but I feel that the problems at the terminals as gas stations, isn't a supply problem, but a transfer and delivery problem. Business will stay strong, but I don't think we really have any "friends" with this administration. Just my Opinion!

How do you value the privacy and security of your sensitive data? A recently released Kaspersky Lab study cites sensitive data protection (27 percent) and security breaches (31 percent) as the biggest bring your own device (BYOD) threats businesses face today. The survey also highlights that only 9% of organizations consider a strict ban on employee devices on corporate floors a viable solution. Although BYOD has fueled a few of these issues, the majority of organizations believe holding back on the BYOD wave is futile.
If you are an IT administrator, how do you plan to protect sensitive data and security breaches? Do you have any data back up plans for employees with cracked screens or damaged hardware?
Before BYOD, bolster your own data plan
In the mobile age, both protecting our mobile device data and having a data protection plan has become essential. While users can opt for USBs, CDs and cloud based services to back up their personal data, IT admins must look for different BYOD data protection and back up strategies for their BYOD devices accessing corporate resources. After all, BYOD must not translate to bring your own disaster or back up your own data.
While keeping jail broken or rooted devices are imperative for mitigating any data leakages, what are the other elements of your BYOD data protection strategy? Here is my list of five must-haves in your 2013 data protection strategy:
- Enforcing password and screen lock on all BYOD devices. As per an Intomobile infographic, 59% of employees polled from one organization admit to diverging from recommended smartphone and tablet security best practices. IT must deploy mobile policies for protecting mobile devices with strong and complex passwords and enforce screen and key lock when the device is not in use.
- Defining mobile device backup and restore policies for corporate owned and employee owned devices. This infographic from Mashable reveals only 10% of mobile owners back up their digital data daily. Device data on corporate owned mobile devices must be automatically backed up while mobile device policies must be configured on the employee owned mobile devices to ensure that the device data is periodically synced with desktop or backend server. In the event that the BYOD employee is using removable media (such as an SD card), he must back up the data on the card also.
- Enforcing data encryption on mobile devices and back up data accessories. Corporate data or intellectual data residing on BYOD devices must be encrypted at all times. IT must discourage their employees from using portable media for storing sensitive data. If employees insist, all intellectual data must be encrypted on back up data accessories also.
- Accessing corporate data over secured network routes. When not working within corporate perimeters, BYOD employees must access corporate resources over secured networks and private wireless networks. Employee-owned devices must access corporate resources only over a secured tunnel.
Cloud based solutions are gaining popularity for their easy and ubiquitous access but can be a dangerous route if data is not encrypted or stored in a protected form. For safeguarding your intellectual property, IT must regulate what kind of docs can be uploaded in the cloud. To have a tighter grip on the mobile ecosystem, IT must restrict cloud based storage to certain user groups only. - Enforcing strict policies in BYOD agreement. IT must highlight in the BYOD agreement that if any device is accessing corporate resources, employees are obligated to back up their device. Strict action must be taken against device owners who are tampering with the mobile agent or interfere/refrain from the data backup process.
Engage employees and their devices
Your data protection strategy means little if your BYOD workers don't adhere to the plan. Thus, employee education is essential for the successful implementation of your data protection plan. A successful BYOD program only comes to fruition when its participants abide by the rules and don't look for a reason to bypass them.
In the long run, mobile device management (MDM) solutions like MaaS360 allow IT administrators to protect corporate data holistically by supporting full device encryption, strong passwords, auto lock and remote wipe. A good MDM solution delivers not only device management but also evaluates and tames your BYOD device and corporate network security risks.

Dong LF et al. – Sentinel lymph node (SLN)–guided minimally invasive surgery could be safely performed in early gastric cancer (EGC) according to feasible criteria.
Methods- A solitary metastasis lymph node was taken as SLN, the features of lymph node metastasis were analyzed retrospectively in 255 patients with EGC, and the result was then compared with a SLN biopsy in 23 patients with EGC.
- Depth of invasion and tumor size were independent risk factors for lymph node metastasis in EGC.
- The lymph node metastasis rate for mucosal carcinoma with a diameter <4 cm was 2.5%, and it was 13.3% when the diameter was ≥4 cm (p = 0.040).
- For submucosal carcinoma, it was 25.4% when the tumor diameter was <3 cm and 50.5% when the diameter was ≥3 cm (p = 0.003).
- The accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of SLN biopsy in EGC was 100%, respectively.
- The distribution characteristics of SLN were consistent with those of lymph node metastasis in EGC.

A murder charge twice filed against a Billings woman accused of shooting a Wyoming man has again been dismissed, this time after a judge said state prosecutors violated the woman's right to a speedy trial.
Carbon County District Judge Blair Jones issued the written order Monday dismissing the deliberate homicide charge against Bianca Wilson, who was accused of shooting Justin Marchant in September 2004. The judge ordered the charge dismissed with prejudice, meaning prosecutors cannot refile the charge against her.
"We think the court made a wise and just decision," said one of Wilson's defense attorneys, Raymond Kuntz.
Jones granted a defense motion to dismiss the charge against Wilson in a 21-page ruling. Jones said the defense successfully proved that the state violated Wilson's right to a speedy trial. The finding was based on a four-part review the case that included the length of time between Wilson's arrest and the trial date, the reason for the delay, Wilson's response to the delay and the prejudice Wilson suffered as a result of the delay.
The judge said Wilson proved that each legal factor weighed in her favor.
Jones said he did not reach the decision lightly, and is aware "of both the serious nature of the offense charged and the ramifications of a dismissal with prejudice for everyone involved."
But Jones said he is "obligated to preserve the vitality of the constitutional guarantee of the right to speedy trial."
Wilson was first charged with Marchant's murder on Sept. 17, 2004, three days after the 30-year-old Wyoming man's body was found on a rural road near the Montana state line. The charge was dismissed without prejudice seven months later, on April 27, 2005, at the request of state prosecutors who said they did not have enough evidence to convict her.
On the day the murder charge was dismissed, Wilson and Jesus Villarreal Jr. were charged in Yellowstone County District Court with felony tampering on allegations that they hid and cleaned blood from the car where Marchant was shot. Prosecutors have alleged that Villarreal was driving with Wilson in the front passenger seat and Marchant in the back seat when the shooting happened.
Wilson eventually was convicted at trial on the tampering charge and was sentenced to five years in prison. She continues to serve that sentence at the Montana Women's Prison.
Assistant Attorney General Barbara Harris refiled the murder charge against Wilson on May 29, 2008, saying new evidence had surfaced against Wilson to justify the murder prosecution. A trial date was then set for Dec. 8, 2008.
In his ruling, Jones said that on Dec. 5, just a few days before trial, state officials delivered 600 pages of crime lab evidence to Wilson's defense attorneys. Wilson's attorneys said they were forced to ask for a delay in order to review the records. A new trial date was set for April 20.
In his order, Jones explained that a delay of 200 days prompts a legal analysis of a speedy trial violation. In this case, the trial was delayed a total of 548 days, a delay the judge attributed entirely to the prosecution. He chastised the prosecution for failing to provide Wilson's defense team with evidence they needed to review before trial.
"Why the state would allow this issue to arise given the importance attached to the (defense) attorneys' ability to properly prepare and represent a person charged with deliberate homicide mystifies the Court," Jones wrote in the ruling.
Harris could not be reached for comment Monday afternoon.
Kuntz said Wilson's sentence will end in 2011, but she may be granted parole sometime before completing her five-year term. Kuntz said the evidence he has reviewed points to someone other than Wilson as the killer.
"I truly believe it was not Bianca who shot him," Kuntz said.

Improve The Design Of Your Passive Wideband ADC Front-End Network
As converter technology improves, so does the demand to resolve very high intermediate frequencies (IFs) accurately at high speeds. This poses two challenges: the converter design itself and the front-end design that couples the signal content to the converter. Even if the converter itself is excellent, the front end must be able to preserve the signal quality too.

Китайская актриса Zhao Tao выиграла престижную премию итальянских кинофильмов , она получила награду лучшей актрисы , за ее ведущую роль в фильме "Io sono Li" .
Это был первый случай, когда престижная итальянская премия была присуждена китайскому актёру.
Chinese actress Zhao Tao won the best actress prize Friday at Italy's David di Donatello 2012 Awards for her leading role in the movie "Io sono Li"(I am Li).
This was the first time ever that the prestigious Italian award was given to a Chinese national.
"The movie was a perfect example of joint cinematic efforts by Italians and Chinese," Zhao said when she was announced the winner, out of five actresses nominated for the award.
A co-production by Italy and France and directed by the Italian Andrea Segre, "Io sono Li" is a love story between a Chinese immigrant who works as a barmaid in the Venice lagoon town of Chioggia, and a local fisherman nicknamed "The Poet."
"I think the movie has succeed in showing how people from two different cultures learn from each other at a profound level," Zhao told Xinhua.
In fact, promoting understanding between different cultures was Segre's aim all along, and the director said he has learned a lot about Chinese culture while making the movie.
"I think cinema must have the honor and duty to describe the situation of our country, and immigration is an important phenomenon marking a big change in Italy," he told Xinhua.
"In recent years, large numbers of immigrants have entered Italy, and now people with a variety of different cultural backgrounds live together here," Segre said.
While working on the movie, Segre realized that Italy's Chinese communities are much more eager to understand local society than the media claims, the director said. He also said that telling the personal stories of immigrants lets others better understand their feelings.
In 2011, "Io sono Li" was screened in the Venice Days section of the 68th Venice International Film Festival.
The fact that an European award was granted for the first time to an Asian actress showed Zhao's "increasingly outstanding artistic level," Marco Muller, artistic director of the Venice Film Festival, told Xinhua.
Born in Taiyuan, the capital of China's Shanxi province, Zhao studied classical Chinese dance when she was a child. In 1996, she enrolled in the folk dance department at Beijing Dance Academy.
The annual David di Donatello Awards, first given in Rome in 1955, honor the best Italian and foreign films.

A lifelong love for all things visual.
Yes, my interest in the visual arts began at a very young age. An innate aptitude with the pencil meant that my childhood toys were usually just a pack of crayons and a paper. For a time I thought I'd become a fine artist, and it seemed only natural. That all changed when the first computers entered my early teen years. I grew to love creating interactive presentations and formatting my homework like an editorial spread. Integrating my own art, I was rather accidentally becoming a proto-designer.
About that same time I became engaged in a recently formed group called The Future Problem Solvers. Its aim was to teach young minds critical thinking, communication and processing skills to tackle the problems of the future. Our little four-person cadre would go on to win many awards over the ensuing years, but I still had not yet seen how the big picture was coming together to change my life.
During a high school career fair, a name was given to the profession I'd been practicing: Graphic Artist. In the demonstrator's portfolio I saw how I could combine my love of the principles of art and critical thinking. To see how a problem could be solved visually to communicate something beyond words alone was a revelation. I began taking small jobs designing for clubs, the yearbook and local newspaper to foster this burgeoning love.
Eventually I went on to attend Iowa State University, where I successfully entered the graphic design curriculum. There I learned the principles, theories, and role of designers. At work, I gained practical experience in how to apply my education and took on the role of communicator between my clients and their audiences.
In 2004 I moved to Chicago to pursue my dream of working for a firm here in a city with a history of hosting great designers. Though the big city has changed me greatly, that little boy with a pencil in his hand is still inside just waiting to play.

Aboard one of the trains of the Chicago L, the elevated and underground train network in Chicago. I think this was taken near the south end of the Loop, possibly around the corner from the library.
The last time I was in Chicago I took the L for nostalgic reasons and because it's not a half-bad way for a tourist to see the town. The stations of the Loop are all elevated above street level and some afford a good view down the main streets of downtown Chicago! Maps and schedules are posted in each station, on the trains and online too making it very easy to find your way around.
Here's a tour of the Loop with pictures if you'd like to know more.
I like this: Real Esteli played its best match ever – couple of great football shots!

We've recently teamed up with Cindy Orley, the fabulous blogger behind Akron Ohio Moms. Cindy needed to heat up her 130 sq ft foyer and we wanted to show everyone how easy it is to install Warmup Floor Heating products.
First, she had to insulate the concrete subfloor so we provided her with our energy-star rated 1/4″ thick Insulation Boards. Not only did she install them like a pro but she also documented the installation:
After that, carefully following our installation manual, she installed properly Warmup Floor Heating mat (see her article here):
So are you impressed by what Cindy did? You can be! But if Cindy can do it, you can do it. All you need is follow the instructions on the manual, maybe watch on of our videos or even call one of our dedicated technicians (888-927-6333).
