I was wondering how easy it is to keep a potted avocado alive for the winter here in Atlanta.
Thanks for your help Patrick |

Patrick, keeping indoors will involve some work, but w/a sunny window, a bit of humidity, and proper watering, your 'cado should do fine.. Don't know how well it'd do in a garage..what's the lowest temps out there? I know they dislike extreme heat.. Did you start the 'cado from a pit? Is it growing as a tree or bush? I'll browse through plant books to see if there's info on temps..Toni |
Toni The avocado is a small tree at a local nursery, I am debating to buy it or not. I appreciate the post Toni Patrick |
I don't know about one from a nursery, I have a few I have grown from pits, I put them in my bathroom in the winter, has a west light, they are not actually "in" the windows and they do just fine. 25 degrees, I am not sure they could take that, I think anything below freezing is a no-no... |
If you wrap the pot with blankets when it freezes and cover the foliage with towels it should do fine. A word of advise is to pot up immediately, then make sure the pot is on casters to make moving easier. The growers around here run the sprinklers when it gets too cold, this helps keep them from damage. Avocados require the same care as citrus. My trees are outside for the summer, but will come in in the winter, however i don't run the heater unless you can see your breath, so it gets below freezing inside sometimes. Keep the roots dry when it does get cold otherwise you'll get root rot. It should do fine as long as it's protected. |
Micke and Mentha Micke I didn't think about my bathrooms which I have 2 and no plants in there, I might give it a shot there, great idea thanks. Mentha You are 2 zones warmer than me, I can imagine your avocado don't suffer much there as far as temps. It doesn't get cold long here, I manage to take all my tender plants out at least once a week, often 3 or 4 days out. I think I am going to give one a shot. Thanks a lot Patrick |

Hey all!
The roof of my room leak due to rain water. How could i repair it? It happens only if the water stays on the roof for long time. we can spread away the water if its day time but at night, its not possible. i need to repair my roof. What material i will need for that? |
Follow-Up Postings:
It would help to know the roofing material and slope. If it is almost flat, black and feels like a sheet of rubber, it is probably EPDM (synthetic rubber). You can probably buy a small roll of self-adhering EPDM at a lumberyard and patch it yourself if you can find the hole (which could be small or numerous). You should buy a spray-on cleaner and apply the patch in moderate to warm temperatures using a small roller to press it down along the edges. If it is built-up asphalt with gravel on top you need to hire a roofer. Patching low-slope roofing with an incompatible material will most certainly fail. |

Hire a reputable roofer that is familiar with your roofing type and in writing will back up the repair. |
- Posted by sierraeast (My Page) on Thu, Jul 22, 10 at 10:38
Make sure they are legal, licensed, insured and get referalls and check them out. It's a good idea to get more than one estimate and not go necessarily with the lowest bid, but rather the one who's reputation is intact. If your state has a licensing board, you can check on them by posting their states license number for any negatives against them. Sounds like a lot of effort for a repair, but you dont want a hack up there who wont do it right the first time around and chances are, you could have bigger problems than just the one leak that they can inspect for you. |

as i am not sure of the material but i think it is not the synthetic rubber one of course. I will hire a roofer, i do not know any in my area but i consulted my neighbor and he told me about one. i have called him. he will come this weekend. thanks guys |

My cooking goes in spurts, depending on how busy I am and the time of year. I always welcome a new season and the special foods we make that time of year. By the end of the season,I'm bored. When I get tired of cooking, I go on sites like this or leaf through my vast collection of cookbooks/cooking magazines to get inspired. I love looking at recipes and pictures of food! I participate in a Cook Day where about 10 to 15 of us get together in a church kitchen and cook for the month. I think you call it OAMC on this site. We meet 7 or 8 times a year. It's a ton of work and totally exhausting, but we save money and eat out less often. The meals are high quality and nutritious. It's a life saver!
I'm no gourmet but I try not to use too many processed foods. I like "real" food, opting for fresh ingredients when possible. I like to experiment on new recipes that are interesting, maybe ethnic, not overly complicated, with a "wow" factor! I like to entertain small groups and serve formal dinners every now and then. (There's a bit of "Martha Stewart" in me, in simplified form!) I'm always looking for new recipes and am fascinated by food science...why things happen in the kitchen.
Thanks for sharing your time and talents. You truly are an inspiration!

County Administrator J.L. "Jay" Stegmaier shared with the Board that the "county is starting to see increased commercial construction activity in the Route 10 corridor between the Courthouse area and Chester. A new Citizens Bank will open in March, and the El Patron Restaurant is relocating from the Chesterfield Meadows shopping center to a new freestanding building," according to a report from the last Board of Supervisors meeting.
According to the clerk's notes, "Mr. Stegmaier was pleased to report the completion of the Colony Village apartments on Jefferson Davis Highway. These units are located where an old hotel and trailer park used to sit, so the county continues to see progress in the revitalization of this area. The development contains upscale apartments and first-floor retail in a mixed-use urban village setting. The grand opening will be in March with the first phase of approximately 100 units."

Lauren and Taylor can often be found riding their bikes on the beach near their beach home, so of course there was no better place for their wedding to be held than at the beach too! They celebrated their big day in Atlantic Beach at the One Ocean Resort and Spa, and what you can't tell from the photos is that it actually poured rain right before Lauren walked down the aisle. But in that way that I've always said God smiles on wedding days, it cleared up just in time, not only taking the rain away, but the day was graced with a gorgeous double rainbow across the horizon of the surf that their ceremony overlooked.
We've never seen a bride laugh as much as Lauren did while walking down the aisle to her groom Taylor, but we loved seeing that this marriage began with such great joy as they started their lives together!
Here's our favorite photos from the day and the awesome vendors we worked with as well!

Fire crews continue to wrestle with several wildfires burning across southern California.
The latest blaze erupted near Carlsbad Wednesday morning.
Several homes have been destroyed, and evacuation orders have been issued several hundred residents.
Firefighters from Santa Barbara to San Diego are on edge and hoping for a change in the weather.
Abnormally warm weather, dry conditions and heavy winds are helping fuel the fires.
"It does put us on edge and that's why we have a robust force of engine companies and assets on the line today so the weather is a very big concern for us," says Cal Fire Chief Ray Cheney.
Strong Santa Ana winds and triple digit heat are in the forecast through the end of the week.
Most of the fires that flared up Tuesday were contained or under control by Wednesday, allowing thousands to return home after being forced to evacuate.

The Vancouver Canucks are going to the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time since 1994 thanks to a little help from a stanchion and a flub from Kevin Bieksa. The puck has this way about it that causes it to do strange things at the most critical times. If Sidney Crosby's gold medal winning shot fooled Ryan Miller, Patrick Kane's Cup winner from last spring fooled everyone that had a set of eyes on the game.
Kevin Bieksa's overtime winner was just about one of the strangest bounces you'll see. Antti Niemi never had a chance, nobody but Kevin Bieksa knew where this puck was until it tumbled into the San Jose net:

Sports Illustrated writer declares puck possession is key, ignores existence of puck possession stats
SI's Brian Cazeneuve wishes there was a way to quantify puck possession. Ok Corsiatti, have your way with him… or just continue keeping your advanced stats a secret:
As the outcomes of the Stanley Cup playoff games continue to prove, puck possession is what matters most these days—even if there is no tidy way to quantify what it means. Football has quarterback rating, basketball has offensive efficiency and baseball minds meditate on imposing acronyms like BABIP, VORP and WAR. But for the one pro league that has Sabres, the NHL is short on mainstream sabermetrics.
Boucher says Roloson will start Game 6 for Tampa
This sounds very familiar, via Damian Cristodero at Lightning Strikes:
"Well, I mean, he was the guy that took us here, and that's how I felt before last game; but like I said, I felt like it was time to give him a little breather," Boucher said Tuesday. "And at the same time I felt that Smitty played really well. So it's a perfect situation to put Smitty in. If something were to go wrong in the previous game, put a new goaltender in for a do-or-die, I don't think it would have been a good moment for anybody. So this is a perfect situation. He's going to be the only rested guy in the two teams."
I dunno, until the puck drops I'm believing that Pat Jablonski could show up as Tampa's starter.

Nearly three dozen sea turtles have washed up on the Pacific shores of Guatemala in recent days. Government officials are worried because breeding season has just begun and it does not appear that local fishermen are using their nets nets properly (or at all) so that sea turtles caught in the nets can escape. Instead, many of the turtles are drowning or bleeding out from their wounds. (See also Sify News)
While we know the answer as to why the sea turtles are dying in Guatemala, no one yet knows why upwards of 500 penguins have died in Brazil. Researchers speculate that the penguins might have died because of starvation (many had empty stomachs) caused by stronger than usual currents and lower than ususual water temperatures or simply overfishing.

Does the job well, but tastes awful !!Goes Well With:Protien shake
Ultra Colostrum (30% IgG) contains immunoglobulins & of course amino acids etc. It is different to whey in the fact that it helps heal the the body. I do not have a problem getting enough protein in my diet so this is a better option for health.
although i found the taste on its own quite terrible mixed with a protein shake its fine. weather it was just a placebo effect or the colostrum i do feel healthier
The product is effective but requires continual use a bigger size would be good to last a month as currently the recommended dose lasts 15 days. Bar that it's a good reasonably priced product.
Perfect to boost immune system of the cats
Very good product. clean taste and easy mix. good results, a high quality product which provides great results quickly.Goes Well With:skimmed milk, shaker, impact whey
Mixes very well with natural yogurt or cottage cheese. I happen to love the taste. Works great as a pre workout snack mixed with honey, yogurt and a pinch of sea salt. I noticed being less out of breath during training, recover faster and feel stronger. It seems to be working well. Ordering my 3rd pack now.
Ultra Colostrum is hard to mix, I usually just put it in my mouth dry and drink a pint of water. I take first thing in the morning, post-training and before bed. I have ulcerative colitis and want the health benefits more than the training benefits at the moment and fingers crossed it seems to be working.Goes Well With:water
I suffer from cfs. After taking this Ultra Colostrum and only sleeping for a few hours, I don't seem to be as tired as usual. I'm still tired though but there's no need to lie on the sofa all day. Also some of my teeth sensitivity is gone which I believe is due to colostrum, drink milk it's good for your teeth we all heard as child. This however is not valid for supermarket milks. Also I have noticed my muscles are much harder without doing any exercise, which, I believe, must be because of the igf's. I don't lift weights anymore but if I did I would only use colostrum as a protein source, it's more expensive but totally worth it. Money is well spent. For better mixability add a very small amount of water and stir to a paste, if there is not enough water, add some more. When you have got a paste, fill as much water or liquid as preferred. It's just like mixing cacao. The taste for me is not awkward like others have said. I guess it depends on the person's sensibility. Goes Well With:Only tried with water.
If you're like me, and you want all the goodness from cows milk, but without the cow or the milk - you'll love this Ultra Colostrum (30% IgG)! Take 2 teaspoons when you first wake-up, or just after you've done something physical, and throw it into the back of your mouth, and let it dissolve. If you put it in your mouth normally, it will tend to stick to your gums like chewing gum. Then, eat what you'd normally have, and your food or drink will absorb the rest...Goes Well With:By itself.
I started taking Ultra Colostrum (30% IgG) about 4 weeks ago now, and I would advise using it if you are trying to gain some lean mass. I take 2-3 servings a day, definitely at post workout and at bedtime, and sometimes in the morning. I have gained 2kg roughly using this supplement, and managed to lose quite a bit of body fat from taking it. I would rate this product as 4/5.Goes Well With:Whey and creatine.
This Ultra Colostrum is a good product, I am amazed it has worked to stop my hot flushes. The doctor gave me blood pressure tablets which have a side effect at reducing the hot flushes but after three weeks of taking the colostrum twice a day 5 grams each time I have stopped the tablets. The taste is not good but you get used to it and best mixed in a shaker to dissolve properly.
Unbelievable value. I used to get colostrum in capsules,getting it in bulk powder is amazing value. I've been stuck at 17 stone for years and after a week on colostrum and whey hydrolosate My weight has increased half a stone. An amazing muscle builder, I highly recommend it for everyone.Goes Well With:Whey protein hydrolosate
Ultra Colostrum (30% IgG) is a good a product. I first learnt about it from my bsc sport science course, and have since read many journal articles about its effect on sport and health. With me it seemed to take a while to take effect. I think this is only due to the levels of IGF 1 etc rising to a beneficial level, once there though, wow! Recovery is a lot quicker, I think I was definitely missing something this provides before. Along with total gainer, my performance and weight has been increasing (probably from increased intensity). If you want to check for yourself or the effects of colostrum go to google scholar and search colostrum and sport, read for yourself. I take 20g daily split into morning and evening. It tastes not of much, like a really weak cream/milk taste. I have it with water. Goes Well With:Works well with Total Gainer, I don't mix them together
Ultra Colostrum (30% IgG) is a top product that works like a dream for me. Maybe it's a placebo effect, but logically and scientifically it makes sense, as proof is in nature itself. It doesn't taste the best and it's probably better to consume it in tablet form, however for the price of the powder if you can mix it with a shake or some juice it's definitely worth getting.Goes Well With:Normal protein shake
I've been using this product for a good month and it's really good. Gained lean muscle and I'm feeling really healthy. Keeps you strong in the gym and you don't need any pre-workout with this product. I'm going to stick with it!
I've been using the Ultra Colostrum (30% IgG) for a while now and it seems to have helped me in training and recovery. It's hard to judge effectiveness of a product like this, but for me it feels like it added something extra to my training. As far as taste goes I gave it 4 stars because it tastes great with other ingredients. Mixability, I'd give only 2 stars because there's always some lumps that seem to stick to the bottom which means there's always some loss.
"This stuff is great, you can feel it work straight away and my health is better after taking this. I sleep well and my nose which has been running for years cleared up on day one. I'm just about to buy my second pouch."
"The results are moderately pleasing, I've been recovering quicker from workouts faster and have noticed a small amount of lean gains. The taste however is horrid, I've got quite a high tolerance for unpleasant tastes with supplements, but this has got to be the worst supplement I've ever tried in terms of taste. The price whilst expensive compared to whey protein, is cheap compared to other places I've seen colostrum on offer. Because of the taste I have to give this product a 2 overall. If you want results and aren't bothered by the very unpleasant taste then it might be for you. If myprotein could sort out a way of making it taste nicer I'm sure they'd sell a lot more."
Used this daily for one week during a cycling winter training camp in Lanzarote averaging 50 miles a day in very windy conditions. This stuff really helps recovery from repeated daily intensive training sessions. Felt strong throughout and more towards the end of the week and legs look and feel bigger too. Doesn't mix completely and quite expensive only criticisms. Highly recommended.
Very good product. Mixes very well with whey protein and milk. Good plane taste. I am taking it in the morning, before workout, and before bed. It is working in the background, ad it seams it is working. I gained lean mass, losing body fat, and I'm feeling really healthy. My recommendation! Goes Well With:Whey protein, milk, yogurt
very good product. I use it with Total protein and while mixing it stays litle lumpy(not to big but does not mix as smoothly as a protein). I mix it with milk in the morning and with water in the afternoon. I am very pleased with it.Goes Well With:total protein and aminoacids

Controlling Devices Using the Ear as an Output Source
Monday, 01 March 2010
This method creates a hands-free way of controlling devices such as medical equipment, wheelchairs, computers, and cell phones.Current methods of device control include joysticks, which involve using one or both hands, external microphones that are cumbersome and pick up ambient noise, and external arrays that are also cumbersome and can restrict a user's movement. Additionally, the external microphone and array options do not provide a high level of accuracy in certain situations.

Computer-Assisted Laser Treatment Using Real-Time Retinal Tracking
Tuesday, 01 September 2009
This computerized system accurately guides laser shots to diseased retinal areas.
Diabetic retinopathy resulting
from long-term diabetes
mellitus is one of the common
diseases that leads to
choroidal neovascularization
(CNV), a leading cause of
blindness. Among the currently
available treatment
methods, a laser can be used
to photocoagulate the diseased
areas. Several thousand
laser shots are usually
required during such treatment.
Special care must be
taken to avoid hitting the
blood vessel tree, the macula,
the optic disk, and the region
among them. For a single
eye, this procedure requires up to
several hours that are usually divided
over many treatment sessions. Consequently, the development of an accurate
laser treatment guidance system to
treat the whole retina in one session
would improve the effectiveness of
such procedures.

I didn't mow some patches of my yard yet so the wild onions could spawn. Right now the flowers have been gone a few weeks and the tops look like they have bunches of little 3/16" dark purple bulbs some still with green tails and most the tails have dried up and fallen.
1. When to harvest?
The tiny bulbs are tasty as is!

This is information that I found on the Seed Savers Exchange. this group promotes saving heirloom seeds. They give instructions for onions. If heirloom seeds can be propagated then so can wild plants. Here is there instructions: Onion - Planting: Start seedlings indoors 4-6 weeks before transplanting. Sow seeds in flats Ľ" deep and spaced 1" in all directions. Transplant as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring. |

LAME DEER- Law enforcement evacuated residents in Lame Deer, as well as those north of town, on Thursday evening.
The Chalky fire in the Rosebud Complex has come within a couple of miles of town. The six fires in the complex have burned almost 18,000 acres north of the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation.
Evacuations for about 60 homes north of Lame Deer started at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, while officers and deputies began evacuating two hundred homes in Lame Deer around 8:30 p.m.
Tribal and BIA public safety personnel assisted with the evacuations according to a news release and Highway 39 is closed between Lame Deer and Colstrip due to fire activity.
Evacuees were directed to find shelter in Ashland at St. Labre Mission School.
A Type II incident management team is on scene and LaDawn Saxton says that team is working with the team on the Crow Reservation.

Peter Mueller appeared to have been given a new lease on his hockey career after getting dealt to the Colorado Avalanche at the trade deadline in 2010. In 15 games with the Avalanche down the stretch, Mueller compiled 9-goals and 20-points… three more than he had amassed in the previous 54 contests with the Phoenix Coyotes.
Mueller would miss the final four games of the 2009-10 season and the playoffs after suffering a concussion on a hit from the Kings Sharks Rob Blake in early April. A setback in his recovery caused Mueller to sit out the entire 2010-11 season, but the former 8th overall pick (2006) of the Coyotes is reportedly close to a full recovery and ready to put his concussion problems behind him for the 2011-12 season.
Mueller on returning to hockey, via Denver Post:
"I'm excited to be a hockey player again. Obviously, I've had concussions in the past and it's something I have to deal with, but right now everything is in the right direction. Everything is pointing forward. I'm excited that it's all behind me."
Mueller will be sporting a bit of a different look when he does return. The 23-year old will wear a new helmet from Easton and a tinted visor designed to temper the bright arena lights.
More on Mueller's new gear from Adrian Dater:
Mueller believes a new one-piece helmet — made by Easton Sports called the S19 Z-Shock — will help him stay healthy. Despite weighing only 325 grams, Easton claims the helmet exceeds minimum safety regulations of NHL helmets by as much as 40 percent. He'll also wear a new tinted visor designed to lower the potentially harmful effects bright lighting can have on concussion victims.
Assuming Mueller passes the necessary physicals in time for training camp, his full recovery will make for an encouraging reminder that the effects of some concussions can be conquered, but it's also a reminder of the long and uncertain road that players must battle on their way back. It's unknown if Mueller will be able to tap into that potential we saw some glimpses of in his three seasons with Phoenix and Colorado, but we'll certainly be pulling for him to make an impact.

Current Research
1) Organic synthesis (natural products as well as functionalized materials)
2) New oxidation methods
3) Chemistry of peroxide explosives
4) Chemical biology
Organic Synthesis:
Peroxide natural products: There are very few synthetic methods with which to approach the growing number of peroxide-containing natural products. Our group is a leader in the development of new methods for peroxide synthesis, as illustrated by the first syntheses of plakinic acids (J. Org. Chem. 2006, 71, 2283) and the peroxyacarnoates (Org. Lett. 2005, 7, 2509). Current research explores organometallic approaches to the peroxyplakorates.
Antimalarials: Peroxides are of interest as therapeutic agents for drug-resistant malaria. As part of a collaboration with Prof. Jon Vennerstrom (UNMC) and the Swiss Tropical Institute, we recently discovered that spiro-bisperoxyketals are stable and easily prepared compounds demonstrating promising activity in antimalarial assays (Org. Lett., 2008, 10, 2401).
New Oxidation Chemistry:
Although alkene ozonolysis has been known for over a century, we have discovered that the textbook chemistry of the intermediate carbonyl oxides can be strongly perturbed by the presence of Lewis acids and/or nucleophiles, offering a significant expansion in the utility of this oxidation, a process requiring only oxygen and electricity. (J. Org. Chem. 2008, 73, 4688); Tetrahedron, 2006, 62, 10747) Outgrowths of this project resulted in the discovery of the Re(VII)-catalyzed synthesis of 1,1-dihydroperoxides and 1,2,4,5-tetraoxanes; the latter are of major interest as potential antimalarials. (Org. Lett., 2008 10, 4577)
Peroxide explosives:
Triacetone triperoxide (TATP) is an easily prepared explosive of great concern as a weapon of terrorism. As part of a DoD-funded collaboration with five other departmental research groups, we are investigating the fundamental chemistry of TATP and related compounds in order to determine improved conditions for their detection and decomposition.
Chemical Biology:
A long-term collaboration with Prof. Ken Nickerson (UNL School of Biological Sciences) uncovered the first examples of fungal quorum sensing, in which a released chemical signal (farnesol) controls population dependent cell-cell communication. Ongoing efforts in this area seek to explore the therapeutic consequences of synthetic enhancement of or interference with this pathway. (Bioorg. Med. Chem. 2008, 16, 1842) A collaboration with Prof. Tim Carr (UNL Nutrition Sciences) is exploring the relationship of molecular structure with dietary uptake and processing of plant sterols (J. Nutr. 2006, 136, 2722). Other ongoing collaborations target the preparation of bacterial quorum sensing molecules, enzyme inhibitors, and unnatural fatty acids.

We've got you covered. At least that's the hope of Janet Foster and Steve La when it comes to wireless access on the CSULB campus.
The Film and Electronic Arts Department at CSULB has received a $35,000 grant from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association to support student film making.
When William C. Ritz, professor emeritus in CSULB's Department of Science Education, received an e-mail from China in August 2007, he was initially reluctant to open it, thinking it might be just another foreign spam message. But it proved to be a fortuitous correspondence.
In celebration of Constitution Day, Craig Smith, CSU faculty trustee and director of CSULB's Center for First Amendment Studies, will discuss the foundations of the First Amendment from the ratification of the Constitution to the ratification of the Bill of Rights.
When the topic is disasters, that's the take from University Police Sgt. Scott Brown, who also serves as the CSULB's emergency services coordinator and who is using September's National Preparedness Month to remind individuals to get prepared.
The open enrollment period for health and dental insurance, flexcash, health and dependent care reimbursement account changes will be Sept. 15-Oct. 17.
Classes are back in session at University by the Sea. After last fall's A+ report card, the arts, culture and education festival that filled Downtown Long Beach with kinetic energy for a day will make its second appearance on Sunday, Oct. 5.

A Bullish Sign in the "Golden Cross"?
Thu, Jul 2, 2009
In case you've missed it, technical analysts have been atwitter over sightings of the mystical-sounding "golden cross". Among the latest observations from the mainstream business press are a Barron's online article posted yesterday and a Bloomberg piece from last week, but recent talk of the fabled Crux Aurea dates back at least as far as early June, when the daily chart of the Nasdaq Composite Index showed the 50-day simple moving average crossing above the 200-day SMA. Since then the heavenly vision has appeared in the NYSE Composite (June 18), Russell 2000 and 3000 (June 19), and, just last Tuesday, in the S&P 500—perhaps among the reasons for last week's devil-may-care rally.
Coverage of this augury has included some decent analysis, and Michael Stokes posted an excellent series of studies on the MarketSci blog. Our contribution to quantifying the phenomenon focuses on its value as a short- to intermediate-term signal rather than as a long-term trading system. The table below shows the stats for the S&P 500 one week, one month, three months and six months after a bullish 50-day/200-day moving average crossover:
What's stands out is that while there's no significant edge in the very short term, on average it does pay to buy the Golden Cross if you book your profit in the one- to six-month timeframe. The percentage wins and average gain/loss ratio are particularly impressive after six months.
Lest one be lulled into complacency by these results, let us consider the period from 1928 through 1941. Based on a model of the S&P 500 for that time, five out of six 50/200-day crossover long entries ended up with losses six months later, with the largest loss (September 1939–March 1940) being more than 38%.
Despite the unusual severity of this economic downturn, it seems unlikely, given all the government intervention we've seen, that we're going into another Great Depression— nevertheless, it might not hurt to accompany any long bets with a little protection, by using other, shorter-term indicators, stops or (relatively cheap, at the moment) puts.

I have read here that some people use cardboard for mulch. They say worms love it, and I really like worms...so why not?
Do I tear it up and mix it in with the top layer, or just lie it over the soil between the veggies? If I just lay it out, how do I water? |

I laid down my cardboard and mulched over it. Got most of my cardboard from county public recycling bin at local firehouse .Got most of my mulch free. Then started buying the "broken bags" HALF price from big box store.... Seems like stuff did better than have the landscape fabric with mulch.... Just my chiming in.... jean |

I lay it down and load on compost or wood chips ... Once it gets wet the worms start feeding on it. |
- Posted by girlgroupgirl 8 ATL (My Page) on Sat, Jun 18, 11 at 17:21
I use it UNDER new beds, to smother, then I use it again to mulch but put straw over it. One thing I did learn was to use a single layer (so if you have extra thick cardboard, wet it and seperate it: I had extra heavy shipping boxes that were super thick) and to tear it into smaller pieces. The only time I ever use large sheets of the stuff is when I finish preparing a planting area that won't be planted for quite some time. |

Depends on how fussy you are. I used to shovel dirt over it almost completely and/or add mulch on top. Now I'm dealing with health problems and don't have that energy. So I simply flatten it, lay it down between rows or plants and weigh it down with bricks or stones. After a good rain, it sort of just molds itself to the earth. No it doesn't get moldy, it just blends in. Water seeps right through it. If you want, you can give it a good soaking right after you lay it down or else just wait for rain. I have very few weeds in the garden. I overlap the peices by an inch or so and very few weeds are able to come up, and they are only around the edges where the cardboard ends. |
We use cardboard boxes, flattened out, up at our community garden just to cover for the walkways as a weed suppressant. It ain't pretty but it works and it's natural. |

Lab or Classroom Software Changes
Lipscomb University maintains a wireless data network for a portion of its campus to provide local campus network and Internet access for its students and employees. Over the next few years that network is expected to grow to cover all academic and administrative buildings on campus as well as part of the outdoor common areas. The network uses the FCC unlicensed 2.4 and 5.1 GHz frequencies defined in IEEE specifications 802.11a/b/g. Many other devices, such as cable-modem/routers, cordless telephones and wireless speakers, also operate in this frequency range. The unmanaged use of these devices may potentially interfere with Lipscomb's wireless data network and cause users to experience poor performance or not have the network available at all. Additionally, because the signal from these devices can travel outside the building where they are located, unmanaged wireless access points can allow unauthorized access and can compromise the security of the wired network. In order to ensure the availability, integrity, reliability, and security of the Lipscomb wireless network the wireless airspace will be solely administered by the Lipscomb Information Technology. In order to protect the data network, the following policies are outlined below:
- Only wireless access points approved and managed by IT are allowed to connect to the wired data network.
- Wireless access points, cable-modem/routers, Apple AirPort Base Stations, or computers configured to act as one of these devices are banned from use on campus, even if they are not directly connected to the wired data network.
- Other devices, such as cordless phones and wireless games controllers, that broadcast and receive using the same 2.4 or 5.1 GHz frequencies as the wireless data network may cause interference and are not allowed on campus.
- Only students and employees of Lipscomb University are authorized to use wireless networking on campus. To protect the users and Lipscomb's wired data network, IT may implement data encryption and authentication security measures that must be followed by all users in order to access the wireless network.
The university assumes no responsibility to compensate you for any direct or incidental costs related to requiring that the use of the interfering equipment be terminated on University owned or managed property.
Retention of Lipscomb University Faculty Network and Email Accounts
Frequently we have off-campus visitors who need access to Lipscomb University's wireless network from a personal (i.e., non-Lipscomb-owned) laptop or device. Lipscomb University Employees can look up the current username and password for our Wireless Guest Access and give it to guests. To look up the current username and password, please log in to myLipscomb and view the "Wireless Guest Password" weekly announcement in the "Personal Announcements" channel on the myLipscomb tab (for security purposes, you must be an employee of Lipscomb to receive the announcement).
Wireless guest access can only be used to log onto the wireless network and cannot log onto any school-owned computers. The normal wireless access restrictions will apply (The following are blocked: peer-to-peer file sharing, inappropriate websites, etc.).
All Requests for additions or changes to software installed on University classroom or lab computers must be submitted with the following form. The form along with all licensing documentation and media should be submitted to Information Technology a minimum of 4 weeks prior to the beginning of the term the software is intended for use.
If you need assistance completing the form or have questions on what is currently installed on classroom or lab system, please contact the HelpDesk.

Please, would some of you experienced light-growers tell me which of the seeds I'll be growing under the shop lights this year have a good chance of blooming? All those which won't do for house plants will be given to friends and neighbors when garden-size. Your help is greatly appreciated, as this is the 1st time I'll not be able to garden outdoors, and yet still have that "gotta grow something" obsession! Here's the list:
Sweat pea Matucana (6"vine for hanging basket)
Sorry for the length of the list; please tell me which you'd choose for house plants. I'm not looking for perfection, just reasonable growth and some flowers to help me give up my hybrid teas!

YES:Tuberous begonias Park's Whopper (12") YES: Celosia Amigo Mahogany Red (6") YES: Celosia Fireglow (20", but will cut back) ** IF YOU CUT BACK, YOU CUT OFF FLOWERS, TOO. YES: Snapdragon Cascadia hybrid mix (8") I don't know about the rest. |
Kdjoergensen, Thanks for the tips. More shelving space is obviously going to be needed, as I'm sure you're right about space. So far as cutting back, my plan is to remove the central leaf when the plant is quite young; from the hours I've spent on the forums, it was my impression this would encourage thicker branching. Do you think I misunderstood? Oh, some good news- the husband of a co-worker says he'll be glad to take anything I don't have room for. What a relief! Some of these seed packets have 50 or 100 seeds, and even though I don't plan to plant them all, if past experience is any indication, there'll be lots and lots of nice seedlings for adoption. Thanks again. Becky |

Kansas: Legislation has been passed by the lawmakers in the Kansas State of the USA which aimed at disallowing the courts and agencies in the state to make decisions in the light of Islamic laws or other laws which do not belong to the USA.
The legislation has brought in severe criticism by the critics as they see it as an embarrassment to the State of Kansas.
"Shariah Bill" is the name which is popular for the legislation because the main target of the bill's supporters is perceived as they do not want to see Islamic laws being recognized in the state. "Shariah Bill" legislation was passed in the Senate of the state by an overwhelming majority of 33-3 and it had already been passed in the House without any confrontation by 120-0.
Republican Governor in Kansas, Sam Brownback, has received the bill, however, he has not confirmed so far that he will sign the bill or not.
A supporter of the bill said that the bill is a reassurance to the foreigners in the State of Kansas that laws in the state and the US constitution will protect their rights. An opponent, however, revealed that holding Islam out for ridicule is the real motive behind the bill.
Peggy Mast, who is a representative of Kansas and a lead supporter of the bill for the past two years, said that the bill has been passed for removing all confusions and ensuring that American soil is ruled by the American laws only.
He said, "Research shows that there are more than 50 cases around the United States where courts or government agencies took laws from Shariah or other legal systems into account in decision-making."
These cases commonly involved divorce, child custody, property division or other cases where the woman was treated unfairly, he added.
Mast, a Republican, commented, "I want people of other cultures, when they come to the United States, to know the freedoms they have in regard to women's and children's rights. An important part of this bill would be to educate them."
Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee and State Senator, Tim Owens, strongly opposed the bill saying that there was no need for the legislation reaffirming American laws that already exist. The bill was proposed to target only one particular community in the USA, the Muslims, and it is an open discrimination.
He commented, "It's based on fear, it's based on intolerance and it is not based on understanding of the Constitution." He is also a Republican who termed the move as an embarrassment to Kansas.
"People will ask, "How narrow has that state become?" How unwelcoming is this state?" he added.
Owens feared that foreign companies may not be willing to do business in Kansas whose residents object to "anything different than what they think is appropriate."
It is pertinent to mention here that similar kind of legislation is also being considered in around 20 states of the USA.
Spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Washington, Ibrahim Hooper, informed that some state legislatures, including Kansas, have passed laws that do not mention Shariah by name.
"Really, the goal seems to be (to demonize) Islam and (to marginalize) American Muslims. Some (states) have passed these watered-down bills and declared a great victory. It's utter nonsense, but if your goal is to promote intolerance, I guess you won," Hooper said sarcastically.

WASHINGTON, July 22, 2011—The questions that generally hang around PNC Park this late in the baseball season tend to be skewed toward whether or not the hometown Pirates will avoid last place in the NL Central. On rare days, the discussion could revolve around whether Pittsburgh might manage to avoid a losing season. This time around, the unthinkable might be on the horizon.
Today the Pirates, owners of an ignominious 18 consecutive losing seasons, sit in first place in their division, albeit only percentage points ahead of the Milwaukee Brewers. At 51-45, they sit comfortably in the top third of NL teams. They have put together a remarkable stable of bare-minimum wins in order to sit six games over .500 despite a slim +14 run differential.
Modest improvement had always been acknowledged as a possibility since the 2007 house-cleaning that ousted Dave Littlefield as general manager and installed former Cleveland Indians assistant Neal Huntington in his place. A large part of that possibility was veiled in the debate over whether the Pirates, who compiled a 442-581 (.433) record under Littlefield, could sink any further.
But they did manage to slip further and further. Three straight last-place finishes followed Littlefield's firing. In 2010, the streak culminated with a 57-win season, just six more than the Pirates have at this point in the current season. Huntington calmly dismissed Pittsburgh's struggles as the prelude to the culmination of the franchise's rebuilding project. Most writers, myself included, glibly shot back that the Pirates had been rebuilding and promising the end of rebuilding out of both sides of their mouths for 18 years. Some projected a slight improvement, perhaps to fourth. But no one saw, nor could have seen, something like this coming.
Even if everything lined up, surely the Pirates would find a way to lose again, despite 2010's serious challenge from the Astros for the title of laughingstock of the National League. It's hard to tell what is in fact the greater surprise this year. Is it the Pirates standing in first place? Or is it that they have accomplished the improbable while plagued by injuries and the like?
Of the hitters who were supposed to serve as team cornerstones this season, only star centerfielder Andrew McCutchen has produced as promised. Catcher Chris Snyder and third baseman Pedro Alvarez have missed the majority of the season with injuries. Left fielder José Tábata has missed the past month with a leg injury. Veteran shortstop Ronny Cedeño has missed time as well. Right fielder Garret Jones has struggled to match his breakout power numbers from 2009 and 2010.
Amazingly, Pittsburgh's pitching staff has been the backbone of the team, and the biggest reason that the Pirates are hanging around at the top of the division. Jeff Karstens, long thought to be the most insignificant piece of the Xavier Nady trade, is turning in a career year at 8-5 with 2.28 ERA, despite playing in one of baseball's most hitter-friendly parks. But probably the biggest boost for the Pirates this year has been Joel Hanrahan's long-overdue breakout as a closer. By finally curing his chronic wildness, Hanrahan has emerged as one of the ablest finishers in the league.
Where can the Pirates go from here? Tied for a playoff spot, anything they do from here, excluding horrific collapse, will be hailed as a seven-league step in the right direction. Even if they can't hold off the charging Brewers and Cardinals, this year's Pittsburgh Pirates have made their franchise relevant again. If they have to resort to next year to end their lengthy playoff drought, so be it. For the first time since the days of Barry Bonds and Andy Von Slyke, they'll be hailed as the contenders they at last are.

Lvl.0 | Normal low-level activity |
Lvl.1 | Increased activity, danger near crater only |
Lvl.2 | Moderate eruptions, danger close to the volcano vent, within parts of Volcanic Hazards Map Red Zone |
Lvl.3 | Large eruption, danger in specific areas within parts of Volcanic Hazards Map Red and Yellow Zones |
Lvl.4 | Very large eruption, island-wide danger (including areas within Red, Yellow and Green Zones) |
Bulletin n°6 - Tanna Activity |
VANUATU VOLCANIC ACTIVITY BULLETIN N°6 - TANNA ACTIVITY Wednesday, July 14th, 2010 TANNA VOLCANO 19°32'0"S 169°26'30"E Summit 1184ft (361m) Current Vanuatu Volcano Alert Level: Level 2 Following the assessment done by the Geohazards team on the 07th and 08th July 2010, Yasur vol- cano has maintained its high activity with strong degassing and ash emissions from all the three active vents. The ash falls are especially over the western part of the island. Fresh volcanic bombs have fall- en around the crater rim. Some explosions could be heard and viewed from the villages. The local pop- ulation has confirmed that this significant activity has been consistent since the beginning of the year. The OMI pictures and the seismic data collected from the monitoring stations on the island confirm this significant activity with the the current strong degassing and explosive activity which is still on going. Under these circumstances, the Alert Level for Yasur volcano is maintained at LEVEL 2 according to the Vanuatu Volcanoes Alert Levels (VVAL). This means that the Yasur volcano is going through moderate activity and the danger remains close to the volcano, within the Red Zone of the hazard map. Volcanic ash falls could follow the direction of the wind and they are expected in the yellow zone of the hazard map. (fig.1). Visitors are strongly advised to keep out from the volcano crater rim and to respect the security mea- sures in place (security ribbon). Close monitoring of this volcano will continue . The next bulletin will be issued as appropriate. For specific information, please contact the Geo-Hazard section of the Department of Geology, Mines and Water Resources, telephone 22907/22423 email
