Earwigs were eating my marigolds. I figured there were a lot of little ones around because they stripped a couple to skeletons on Sunday night.
When I discovered it on Monday I went to mix up a concoction of Molasses, Oil and Soy Sauce. No Molasses-- so I substituted corn syrup. I mixed it in a baby food jar, buried it and propped the lid over it. I had to be out on Tuesday, but I checked it when I got home around 3. Wonderful--The jar was over half full of baby earwigs that will be eating no more of my Marigolds I threw out the bottle and bugs and made a new trap this time used a big prescription bottle. We'll see what I will get with this one. This has to be the best trap for earwigs. Better than earwig bait or anything else I've tried and believe me I've tried most chemical or organic traps. I'm also happy Corn Syrup works because I usually have it on hand and don't use Molasses for baking, so it takes a trip to the grocery. |

No! Don't do that! I actually read this a couple of days ago and thought I'd try it when I had some time. Was at a friends house yesterday and he was telling me about this...and today I thought I'd give it a try and came on here to find out again what the ingredients were. Thanks! I'm mixing up a batch right now! |

Ok mamashakesit--Here is the full recipe Bait for Earwigs Earwigs. Equal parts of soy sauce, oil and (molasses or corn syrup). The molasses is bait to attract them--the oil doesn't allow them to crawl back out and the salt in the soy sauce finishes them off. Put it in a small container(small yogurt container, larger pill bottle, specimen bottle or anything that is fairly deep) covering 1/3 of the bottom with the mixture and bury it up to the brim in the soil. I like the smaller ones because it doesn't take as much bait and they are easier to bury into the soil. Prop a lid over it so it doesn't get diluted by rain and so it is a nice dark place for them to hide--ha. When you prop the lid, leave a small space for them to crawl into the container. You might have to wait a couple of days for it to work, but mine were full of them the next day. It does work. Your container will be full of them. |
Hundreds of us read your recipe and are going to try it. Most of us will not respond and tell you how good it works. Even if you don't hear from us we appreciate your sharing the first reasonable approach to earwig control. Thank you. Al |
Earwigs just ate all 100 of my bush bean seedlings, now its most likely to late to grow more, wish i would of known of this before. Thanks for the post! |

Has anyone tried this for slugs? I know what the salt in the soy sauce would do =:) |

I heard of the 'recipe' about two years ago and it works very well, if animals do not take off with them during the night (it has happened to me). I use the small tubs you get at Bulk Barn, make holes in the lid with an ice pick or other boring tool. This year, I have been using the oil/water from canned fish, smoked oyesters, mussels and the like, diluted with water. This mixture will also capture slugs, which I found out by accident this year when I had a container placed next to my Brugmansia. I use the small containers the Chinese Takeouts use for their hot sauce for smaller potted plants. I change them every now and then, collect them and toss them out in the Fall. A great way to recycle. |

Well everyone. what were your findings? I would love to know. All this time I thought my marigolds being stripped down to bones and then death was just a common occurence in cooler damp weather. Thank you! Rhizo: Thank you so much for directing me here! Mike;-) |
Would earwigs be eating Zinnia as well? Something ate a huge hole in the middle of each leaf on two of my plants. I saw an earwig on one of them but didn't think much of it at the time. |
I like your I dea for earwig traps. I had an Infestation last year and didnt know what to do. I grow organically so pesticide is out of the question your solution is simple and I am sure it works. but I found a better answer. google ARBICO they are a company that specializes in beneficial insects. I ordered a three pack of praying mantis egg cases. I put one in my yard and as I am friendly with my neighbors on both sides of me I gave them both one as well. within 2 weeks I had manti everywhere. these ferocious predators are so great!!! the bonus also is that they went through their life cycle last year and laid their own egg cases this year so now I have an ongoing population of manti. also Ladybugs are the scourge of pests. you would not think it but ladybugs are the toughest beneficial areound they devour almost every pest you hate. arbico sells these as well. they don't tend to hang around though. as soon as they devour everything they split for greener more buggy areas to feed themselves. either or both and you wont have any problems. GOOD LUCK, and Happy Gardening!! |
bout to try this! i think i have them on my bee balm, hostas, etc |
I use slug traps on a regular basis and usually i use beer, but beer bottles in the garden raise awkward questions, plus i dont always have it on hand. This recipe will be great to compare to beer traps. Im also interested in bringing beneficial bugs to the garden and flower beds. I have read that dill, fennel and coriander attract a lot of the good bugs. Any thoughts on this? What other planta would serve this purpoae? I do have marigolds and zinnias up right now. Thanks everyone! |

So glad to have found this thread, thank you oilpainter for sharing! I had just posted in another forum about how buggy we're expecting this season to be following such a mild winter, and earwigs are a particular problem in my area so finding this was very timely! I'm also anxious to try this for slugs because I never have beer around & forget to buy it for the garden. Mari 88...I don't know about herbs attracting good bugs, but I do know that they usually deter 'bad' ones because of their aromatic qualities. A couple years ago, I inadvertantly discovered that my dill was actually acting as a trap plant for aphid. They destroyed an entire crop of it, but stayed off the other garden plants nearby. Luckily dill grows quickly so I had time to get another planting in before pickling time, but the aphid still got half of that sowing too! |
I just pour canola oil into cat food cans, enough to cover 1/2" of the bottom of the can. The earwigs crawl in and drown in the oil. Works like a charm! |
We just put in a new raised bed garden aka the sqaure foot gardening type and I had dreams of a large harvest of beans. Alas! My new sprouts were being chewed through the stem and the leaves chewed around the edges. I am SO mad!!! I've come to the conclusion that the culprits are the earwigs so I'm putting out 2 different kinds of traps tonight. I am using the soy sauce/oil/corn syrup in some small sized Glad snack/leftover containers and then put a tight lid of aluminum foil over the top with one edge lifted up enough for them to crawl in. They're buried to soil level. (I aim to please) I'm also using the rolled up damp newspaper [sprinkled a bit of sugar in it] and placed that in a produce/veggie bag to keep it from drying out too quickly and also allow me to quickly pick it up and tie off the top. I placed that behind the box next to the wood fence. I'm not sure if it is damp enough though. I just misted it lightly, not soaked it. |
Not a single critter this morning!!! :( |
I cut 2 holes near the bottom of a plastic container (ie old Cool Whip container) put a tuna can 1/2 full of oil inside and put the lid on the plastic container. The plastic container protects from rain/sprinker water filling the tuna can. |

I'll be using the traps tonight earwig And slug. I look forward to saving Marigold seeds each year, they grow well. This year, not so good because all my seed pods are full of bug "dirt" with seeds partially eaten. I see earwigs but not slugs so much. Will check in again to let you know how well this works. By the way, the temps are about 100 degrees daily for the month now, so what can I plant? It's usually hot until Halloween or when the World Series ends.. |
- Posted by scarletsflowers zone 8, Wa (My Page) on Tue, Sep 9, 14 at 14:01
For some reason i never considered that earwigs could possibly ever be a problem and we do have quite a few. I did lose allot of green bean and cucumber seedlings that were completely uprooted and now some of my seedlings. What a gem this forum - I've just put out two large traps, fingers crossed i hope i get slugs, snails and earwigs! Excellent tip! |

I have always had a problem with earwigs I will be trying this ASAP! Thank you |

Sorry for the lack of recent updates. A bunch of upcoming deadlines coupled with some heavy jetlag from my last trip to the US has been slowing me down on the blog. But I will be back more regularly in due time with lots of new things.
I'm now watching some very interesting videos with Stephen Huxley and Brent Burns about their Asset Dedication approach which blends elements of the probability-based and safety-first approaches to retirement income. The videos are really good and I will surely be able to provide some links to them at some point. But for now, I thought this was a really nice quotation from Professor Stephen Huxley in the video:
It would be great if everyone had over their lifetime saved enough money so that they could in fact buy 30 years worth of TIPS to protect themselves. That would be terrific. Unfortunately, most of us haven't done that, and so consequently you have to assume some level of risk and then go with the flow and hope that things work out and make adjustments along the way if you have to.

The director of a national Catholic organization said his group will not obey a federal mandate requiring religious groups to provide contraception coverage to employees.
Frank Pavone, with Priests for Life, said that when dealing with an unjust law, "Civil disobedience is obedience to God."
Priests for Life and other Christian groups are suing to do away with the mandate. Pavone said if the suit is not successful some groups might shut down.
He said that religious groups lose their credibility when they go against their beliefs.

The fifth annual Flavor of SLO event was held Sunday.
A team of Cal Poly students paired up with the local non-profit, United Way of San Luis Obispo, to put on the event.
Guests could enjoy tastings from over 30 local restaurants, wineries, and breweries.
Proceeds benefit the local United Way, which provides education, income, and health services to local kids, seniors, and families.
"Everybody kinda knows the Central Coast as wine country, so we have our wineries, and then there's a lot of great restaurants, and it's basically just culminating that all together to produce this unique flavor of SLO," said Miles Fairchild, the Marketing Coordinator.
Flavor of SLO was created in 2009 by a Cal Poly student as a senior project.

Marine trade group formed in Wisconsin
Posted onMarina operators in Wisconsin now have their own trade group with the recent election of the board of directors for the new Wisconsin Marina Association.
The association is a collaborative effort with the University of Wisconsin Sea Grant Institute, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, Wisconsin Coastal Management Program and Wisconsin Harbor Towns Association.
More than 20 interested marinas came together in 2007 to start the process. Financial assistance in 2008 from the Coastal Management Program and the Harbor Towns Association helped bring their plans to fruition.
The WMA will bring together like-minded owners and operators of marinas, boatyards, yacht clubs, and public and private moorage basins. The association will promote the ethical, educational, communicative and promotional advancement of the recreational boating industry in Wisconsin.
The Wisconsin Clean Marina Program, in partnership with the University of Wisconsin Sea Grant Institute, will be launched this summer as a voluntary program promoting environmentally sensitive facility management and boating practices.
"This association will be the beginning of great networking opportunities for marina operators in Wisconsin. The industry stands only to gain by sharing ideas and successes," said Jon Kukuk, owner and operator of Nestegg Marine of Marinette and the new chairman of the WMA.

The 10 Most Random Artists Eminem Has Dissed Over The Years
The Target: Everlast
When Eminem Dissed Him: On 2000's "I Remember," he rapped, "There once was a man who liked to jump around/But he got too old to jump up and down"
Why It Was Random: Em and Everlast reportedly got into a gigantic beef because Em once looked at Everlast funny. That led to Everlast throwing a subtle shot at Em on a Dilated Peoples song, Em recording this diss track, and them going back and forth for a few months. Looking back now, it all seems so trivial, doesn't it?

Due to sinking sales in the luxury car market, BMW has posted an operating loss of €55 million euros or $73.7 million in the first quarter of 2009. As a result, the automaker is unable to deliver a reliable earnings forecast for the remainder of the year.
BMW CEO Norbert Reithofer told reporters that there have been no signs that the market will recover before next year. BMW hopes to resume its target sales by 2012. By that time, new versions of the 1-, 3-, and 5-series model lines will be on sale.
With production down a third, inventories have fallen. However, sales volumes have only declined by a fifth, allowing the BMW group to earn €220 million ($293 million) in free cash flow from its car program.
The outlook isn't any better for BMW's rivals. Last week Mercedes-Benz posted a quarterly operating loss of €1.12 billion ($1.49 billion), while Audi saw profit fall to €363 million ($483 million). Meanwhile, Porsche is still struggling to find a solution to its plans for a high-risk takeover of Volkswagen.
According to BWM, this year will be a transition year. The company is presently more focused on securing its independence rather than meeting earnings targets. BMW says it expects to miss its 1.8-million-unit sales goal for 2012, but it will sell more than 1.6 million units, enabling it to reach profitability targets for that year.

Fauré: Sonata in A major Op. 13
Arrangement for Violoncello and Piano by Carl Hüllweck
The gourmet's delight
In 1876, ten years before César Franck's violin sonata in the same key, Gabriel Fauré made a major contribution to the first flowering of French chamber music with his A-major Sonata op. 13. He even found a publisher for it right away, namely Breitkopf & Härtel in Leipzig. Both the work and the composer were warmly acclaimed immediately after the publication: "This sonata contains everything that appeals to the gourmet: new forms, wonderful modulations, unusual tone colors, unexpected rhythms. With this work of such modest appearance, Mr. Fauré has leapt to the top ranks of the masters in one bound." Thus wrote Camille Saint-Saëns with pride about his pupil's work. The publisher seems to have picked out a true gem from Fauré's oeuvre, for the sonata soon became very popular, and in 1889, Breitkopf & Härtel heightened this popularity by releasing an arrangement for violoncello by Carl Hüllweck. It is likely that Fauré not only approved the arrangement, but also proofread it. Long out of print, this edition will once again allow cellists to enjoy Fauré's violin sonata in a competent period arrangement.

Angry Birds Star Wars Review
When a property as hot as Angry Birds comes along, one wonders how long they can keep the franchise fresh with gamers. Bad Piggies took the characters and franchise in a new, and exciting direction. Would teaming up with the greatest film franchise in the history of movies keep the Angry Birds series moving forward? Or just give gamers more of the same?
Angry Birds Star Wars takes all of the Angry Birds games and throws them into one giant science fiction adventure. Rovio teamed up with Lucasfilm and created one of the most exciting team-ups in gaming history. If you've ever wondered what they could do to keep the gameplay fresh in Angry Birds, then this answers your question.
The game roughly follows the story of the first Star Wars film. We meet Luke on Tatooine before branching out into other aspects of the Star Wars universe. Fans of Angry Birds and Angry Birds Space will feel right at home, since the game incorporates both styles of play. At first, you'll be doing the normal slingshot thing before you're in outer space playing in levels like Angry Birds Space. It's nice because it keeps the game from becoming stale.
Once you've finished Tatooine, you'll move on to the Death Star levels. For an extra $1.99 you can also play the Dagobah levels, which gives Luke the ability to use a lightsaber. I'm not exactly sure if Luke gets the lightsaber regardless, since I purchased the Dagobah levels right when I started the game, but you get a bunch of extra levels for another two bucks. Not really a fan of them charging more to play Dagobah, but it's still fun. Plus if you play through them all you'll earn a more powerful lightsaber. Hoth isn't available yet and will be unlocked in a future update. There are also bonus levels you can play which I'll get to later in the review.
All of your favorite Star Wars characters are here — Luke, with his swinging lightsaber; Obi Wan Kenobi, who uses the Force to push objects; Han Solo, with his blaster; X-Wing Pilot, who separates into three pilots; and Chewbacca, who is so big he just destroys everything in his path. These additions really add to the enjoyment of the game, though I found most levels to be a bit too easy to pass. That's not to say you'll get three stars in each level though, something I was rarely able to accomplish. The more stars you earn, the more Millennium Falcon power-ups you're given to use. The Falcon can be used to replace one of your birds in any level. Once you've launched it, press where you'd like for the ship to fire and it will swing around the screen, blasting at the crosshair you marked. It helps in some later levels that can be too tricky to pass. Besides stars, you can earn gold medals if you use the Falcon and it does 100% damage. Just another little bonus for achievement hunters.
Speaking of bonuses, let's not forget about R2-D2 and C3PO. You can play as them in the bonus levels that become unlocked as you play. The bonus levels are tough, so have fun with those. When you launch C3PO, you can tap him to break him apart and his pieces will scatter on the board. R2, when tapped, shoots electricity. Besides the bonus levels, there's a screen that shows the characters and items you've collected and unlocked during gameplay. Even after finishing the game, I still had more items to discover.
One of the nice things fans will like are the sharp graphics and the game's cartoony presentation. Bad Piggies are dressed up as Stormtroopers, Darth Vader is just a big head, and the backgrounds all have that Star Wars look with an Angry Birds makeover. They put a lot of detail into the game and the gameplay itself. For example — Darth Vader shows up in certain levels, but if you try and take him out with Han's blaster, the blaster shots will just deflect off of his helmet. Small things like that will make you smile as you're playing.
The game looks great on the new iPad. Graphics are sharp and colorful. One thing I did find annoying was the auto-scrolling in levels. Sometimes when you zoom out and try to slingshot a bird, the game screen is still scrolling to the left or right and it can mess up your shot. I wish the screens would stay static no matter where you positioned them. The music features that familiar Star Wars tune, and all of the blaster shots and lightsaber sounds are straight out of the movies.
Fans of Angry Birds, Star Wars or both will have a blast with this new game. And with the promise of free future content, like the planet Hoth, the game could expand into all six episodes, giving us cool scenes to play for months and months. Imagine what an Angry Birds Jabba the Hutt will look like!
Just stay away from Episode I. You don't want to put gamers to sleep.

How PA School Libraries Pay Off: Investments in Student Achievement & Academic Standards. The latest Pennsylvania school library impact study has been completed, and its report has been released online.
The PA School Library Project–a joint effort of the PA School Librarians Association, the Education Law Center of PA, and HSLC–has posted the full report on their website. This study was funded by a 2011-12 National Leadership Grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). A variety of derivative reports as well as information about "roll out" and other follow-up events can also be found on the Project's website. The Role of the 21st Century School Librarian. Finishing reading Empowering Learners: Guidelines for School Library Programs, has made me think a lot about the role of the 21st Century Librarian in the K-12 school.
As we move into a more digitally based library environment and the world our students graduate into is requiring different skills of them, the role of the librarian is shifting. I wrote in my last post on the subject a lot about the specific job descriptions based on what the AASL states in Empowering Learners in the first half of the book. New Nine Reasons to Save Public Libraries. Nine Reasons to Save Public Libraries "Here are some reasons why our libraries are still the place where we as a nation will achieve our destiny: The house of the 99%: The foundation of democracy is an educated electorate.
When the economy is down, it is all the more vital that we the people have access to information, education, news… and now in modern times the internet, computers, and other sources of media tools as well. §. What makes it simple, difficult or impossible? On the face of it you'd think that searching on a modern search engine such as Google is a pretty simple and straightforward skill.
And mostly, you'd be right. It's the exceptions that are interesting. Every so often we've all had the experience of trying to find something that we just can't quite seem to nail down. You expect there's a web page out there somewhere in the billions of possible pages, but you just can't figure out what to do to make it pop to the top of the search results.

We haven't been as visionary, vigilant and assertive as we need to be when it comes to mapping our future in the ebook world. And unfortunately, too much of our time has been spent reacting to business models that seemingly reflect only commercial interests, rather than boldly advocating for business models that also serve the public's interests. Our primary role is to champion the rights of access for our users. Our ebook strategy needs a serious overhaul, and it needs to happen right now. Unless we move quickly, the technology divide that we've all been battling the last 20 years will look like a minor skirmish compared to the content divide that is mounting.
Why You Need Your School Librarian. Posted on 12 July 2012.
Tags: Kentucky Teacher of the Year Kimberly Shearer Think about the "Like" button on Facebook. With just one push of a button, people are able to communicate a great deal of information. The Future of Research. Last week a new pal and astute educator, Ed Chase, asked me if research was really a skill that "students of the future" would even need. Although, I was taken aback by the question at first, it's continued to roll around in my mind ever since.
Obviously, if you're like me and are "of a certain age" then the skills, and certainly the tools, needed to conduct research have changed considerably since we were students. But in a world where information is already being curated for us by complex algorithyms designed to a) figure out what we like and b) deliver search results that are tailored specifically to our desires… ...and in a world where soon we may no longer need a keyboard, or even a device in our hands, to access and interact with said information… ...it's hard NOT to wonder if research really is a life skill. For me, the answer is yes, but only if we redefine research. Does Copyright Matter? by Tim Parks. Do I, as an author, have the right to prevent people copying my books for free? Should I have it?

8 years after winning the MVP award for his phenomenal performance in the World Junior Hockey Championship, Patrice Bergeron once again led Team Canada to a championship, this time in the Spengler Cup. Bergeron scored the opening goal in the final and added 3 assists as Canada went on to win 7-2 over the tournament's hosts, HC Davos.
Meanwhile, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is looking to duplicate Bergeron's success from 2004-05: leading the World Juniors in scoring while leading Team Canada to the gold medal.

I'm trying to plan my garden for next year. I am going to have a 20 ft long side that will be 1 1/2 feet wide - it's going to be all trellis (tom, cucs, beans, watermelon, pumpkin, and peppers). I'm trying to determine where to put that. Mel's book says to trellis on the North side of the boxes. Why?
Is it THAT important? I know I don't want the trellis to shade veggies that might not need shaded...but I'm thinking about putting that at the East or the West (probably) end...would it be a big deal? If I put it on the west it would be the evening sun that would be shaded and only a bit maybe - I think the tree might get it before the trellis. TIA for any help you can give me on this. |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by fishymamas z9, So. CA (My Page) on Wed, Aug 13, 08 at 14:44
The reason for this is that the earth has a tilt (I'm sure you remember this from science classes) and the sun passes slighty to the south in the sky. so if your trellis is at the north EDGE of the bed, it will shade nothing (provided you're in the northern hemisphere, of course). Now you'll realize this only works if you're a flat, wide area with nothing else to overshade your garden, If you don't, try to guess where it'll cause the least shade to other plants, while still getting enough sun for the crops growing on it. |
- Posted by anniesgranny 6b (My Page) on Wed, Aug 13, 08 at 14:59
I've often put mine in the center of the bed, running north and south. That way half the garden gets the morning sun and the other half the afternoon sun. If I plant this way, I put root crops, lettuce and all the cooler weather crops on the east side, the heat loving crops on the west. The cool crops enjoy a bit of shade in the afternoon. Granny |

Twenty feet of trellis.....cool! You can do it many ways. It's all according to how much sun exposure the actual spot gets. If it gets maybe 10 hours of exposure, I would do what Granny suggests. That way, you would get the most out of your trellis (both sides) And....if it gets less than that, just don't plant it so congested, and the sunlight can shine thru the trellis material from both directions. It's all good. EG |

Military Air-Conditioned Kennels
G3 Systems have come up with a solution to help keep Britain's Army Dogs cool i...
Most notable of these contract wins are the Deployable Engineering Workshop (DEW) and the Medical Treatment Facility (MTF) based at Camp Bastion in Afghanistan.
Deployable Engineering Workshop.
Derek Ford, Project Manager at G3 Systems Portland based engineering facility states that The Deployable Engineering Workshop contracted by the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) is almost ready for deployment.
Final trials are taking place across the UK before the system is finally entered into service in 2007. It is likely that this versatile system will soon be deployed into operational theatre to assist the UKs armed forces.
Deployable Engineering Workshop (DEW) was designed to provide military engineers with a range of tools and equipments housed in a deployable workspace providing the capability to allow manufacture, modificaThe tion and repair of engineer resource and specialist equipments. This was achieved within a hybrid design through the configuration of the following core system components;
Common DROPS container modules - tailored to meet individual trade requirements
Soft wall work areas - providing the required covered work spaces
The core building block and method of transportation of the system uses multiple DROPS integrated CSC approved 20 foot ISO containers. All DROPS containers include FEPS (UK MoD power generator) compatible electrical interface panels. The container systems are integrated with a range of machine tools and equipment to enable various trades to operate effectively in the field. The system incorporates 12 containers with the trades either allocated as single use or shared.
Soft Walled Work Areas
Complementary soft walled work spaces (provided by Ably Shelters) provide environmentally conditioned and spacious working areas integrated with the containers housing the machinery and tooling for each trade
Main Work Area (MWA)
The self-build MWA (provided by Ably Shelters) provides a large work area (242 metres squared W 11.5m x L 21m) allowing full vehicular access and handling of the large work pieces. The shelter provides an effective entry way at the centre to ensure that a variety of work pieces, machinery and vehicles can not only gain entry from either end of the structure, but that unnecessary movement of other maintenance tasks to allow entry / egress is eliminated. The system can be integrated with up to four 20 ft containers (2 on each side) using breezeway attachments which provide weatherproof connections between the trade containers.
In future, other trades and services could easily be integrated into this system. DEW is a truly versatile system providing the UK MoD with the agility to deploy tradesmen quickly to the most inhospitable places, at the same time allowing them to perform their tasks to a high standard.
Mobile Treatment Facility- Southern Helmand Region - Afghanistan.
On his recent publicised visit to Camp Bastion, UK Prime Minister, The Right Honourable Tony Blair stopped off to visit some of the contractors working on the camp.
During a walkabout Mr Blair met with two of G3 Systems contractors working on projects at the camp (pictured), Paul Smethurst, Site Manager Medical Treatment Facility Bastion and Rich Hammond, Plumber Camp Bastion.
Paul and Richard are among an increasing number of G3 Systems staff working at the camp, whose projects include the erection of a 38,000 square feet Tier 2 field hospital designed by G3 Systems Bids and Engineering teams. The Medical Treatment Facility (MTF) is being built to UK HTM (NHS) standards and will include a 20 bed ward, Full Surgery Unit, CT scanner, X-Ray, Intensive Therapy Ward, Isolation, Pharmacy, Physiotherapy, Path Lab, Dental Room, Ablutions and offices. The MTF provides an excellent level of healthcare for British and Coalition Forces and should be completed in early 2007.
G3 Systems are also involved in the build of a transit camp at Camp Bastion.

Bay of Quinte Fall Walleye Report
Although we may be called the Quinte Ice Fishing Team, our team are all multi-species, year round anglers. With each of us residing locally here in the Quinte area, the Bay of Quinte is our home water and we spend much of our time chasing all of the species that it has to offer. Throughout the fall we have been actively pursuing the giant Lake Ontario walleye as they migrate into the Bay. We will continue to fish the softwater right up until freeze up. As recent as this week we have seen many fish over the 10lb mark with some coming in the 13 and 14lb class. It truly is an amazing fishery. The signs indicate an excellent first ice bite and we look forward to getting our clients on some amazing trophy walleye through the hardwater.
Here are a few highlight photos of some great walleye from this fall:

Brake Pads for 2009 Subaru Forester 2.5X
I have a 2009 Subaru Forester 2.5X and have been looking at getting new brake pads but looking to upgrade from the standard OEM pads. I was wondering if anyone out there has tried any higher performance pads and if anyone out there can recommend any specific brake pads? I was looking at the Raybestos Professional Grade Ceramics and the Hawk Performance Ceramic pads...the price of the Hawk's are about double that of the Raybestos and I am wondering if it is just a brand name thing or if anyone can actually vouch for the Hawks that they are worth paying double for. Also any other suggestions would be great, I am just lost with picking out brake pads since I havent tried enough brands to know.
ic_designer Posts: 28I use Akebono brake pads in my Outback and Corolla. I am very happy with it. You can read the review at tirerack.com or amazon. The brake pads are very quiet. I use ATE slotted rotor on my Outback and Centric rotor on my Corolla. Centric is a lot cheaper. Stopping distance seems to be better with Akebono pads and Centric rotor combination. This is probably because Corolla is a lot lighter.

dcm61 Posts: 1,484I'm not familiar with the Raybestos but it sounds sort of generic.
Raybestos (circa 1902) is a year older than Ford Motor Company. Raybestos doesn't sound as generic as Ford.

I live in a studio apartment and didnt have room for a big christmas tree, so I got a potted italian stone pine that, supposedly, can live in a pot indefinitely (according to the tag). I adore my little tree as it keeps the neighbors from peeping in, it smells good, and it reminds me of home (it's the closest i can get to a forest at this time in my life). I'd like to keep it around until i move somewhere where it can be planted. However, I'm having some problems. The tree is losing all of its needles and shriveling up. it looks like it's dying. It's in very well draining soil and I wait until the soil is pretty dry before watering again, since they are mediteranean trees. I think it's dying for lack of sunlight, because I don't get any direct sunlight in my apartment in the depths of winter. However, on the few sunny days we get here in Oregon during the winter, I take it out into the hall and let it sit in the windowsill soaking up sun all day. The rest of the time it's home is my windowsill, so it gets plenty of indirect light. Is my tree dying? Should I wait until spring to repot, or repot now in hopes that I can save it? Should I fertilize it? Is there anything I can do?? Thanks! mfa |
Follow-Up Postings:
Can you post a photo? If it is losing needles, I suspect it might not be a Stone Pine; sounds more like a spruce. Dead needles on Stone Pines don't drop off, they turn brown but stay on. Resin |

It probably would have been better off staying outdoors mulched into a large pot (with drain holes) for winter - it's not meant to be a house plant, and if you don't have bonsai knowledge of growing conifers, you probably won't be able to manage now. Can you find another one to start with in spring, and grow it outside? |

Oh...I live in an apartment downtown in a city, so nowhere to put it. If there's no way to save it, I guess that's that. :( |

mfa, you're one of many, many consumers who try to grow these conifers inside the home. They simply will not survive, unfortunately. Next year, perhaps you could 'adopt' a Norfolk Island Pine, a tropical conifer well suited for the role of houseplant. |

Thanks for all the responses! I will definitely look into the other varieties in the future. |

Unfortunately, most of the trees sold as "Living indoor Christmas trees" should be kept indoors for no longer than a week, possibly 10 days, if kept in a cool room. Almost all houses with central heating are too dry - and too warm - for trees that normally grow as outside trees to be happy and to grow. If you started one from seed and only kept it inside, it might be able to survive, but otherwise, it's only those conifers that come from the tropic/semi-tropic areas, like a Norfolk Island Pine, that can live indoors for very long, and that with some attention to humidity around them in winter. Even most bonsai conifers are kept out side, or in an unheated building, and brought inside only for display for a week or so. I'm sorry you can't keep your Stone pine, but wish you luck in your next choice! |

I bought a small potted christmas tree and it was doing great- then I placed it out on the windowsill (in the sun) and it did even better. Grew twice the size and was growing nice and strong os I decided to repot it because the pot it was in was disproportional and it required a bigger one, and it was starting to fade in june. I repotted it in a more sour soil as i'm told that's what you're supposed to do for coniferes (i asked at the garden shop) and it's been dying ever since; slowly but surely all the needles dried up and fell... could this be due to the incredible rain season that's been going on? How can that make sense since i'd been watering it almost every day wen it was really hot and sunny and all it did was grow bigger and bigger every day? I gave it some "fertilizer/healing" thing but it doesn't seem to have worked yet. The last of the needles and i do mean it when i say there's maybe a handful left, are hanging but i feel they'll fall too. Do you think it can bounce back? Should I jsut give it time or declare it dead? Maybe tweaking/trimming parts of it could help? HELP! |

I bought a small potted Italian Stone pine 3 years ago at Rite Aide. I live in Beverly Hills, CA. After Christmas I put the tree on my terrace outside my one bedroom apt. It grew rather fast. I repotted it and it is now roughly 2 and half feet high and very wide. This is the third Christmas with the tree. It does have a few brown needles in the middle but the outside is flush green. We do bring it indoors for the holidays than back out on the terrace afterwards. Does anyone know if I repot it into a bigger pot if it will grow bigger? The pot now is about 15 inches high and the tree roughly 22 inches. Thanks |
What do the roots look like? That is what I would love to know about your italian stone pine? Do they look alive and growing? I have this tree and I thought it was dying I really was not paying any attention to this thing. I did not water it when I first got it. I didn't read how to take care of it. It had said not to overheat it such as being indoors near a heater or something. In no way did it say put it outside. I ignored the thing. I figured it's a tree it can take abuse and go without watering for some time. When I got around to it I repotted it. I had noticed the soil it was in was poor! And hard even. The new soil I gave it was fresh and can retain the water well and feed the roots. I never give up on plants if those roots are still growing the thing is still alive. Perhaps your overthinking what to do with your nifty little tree. How are your needles falling off? Do they easily come off by you pulling? Or are they falling off by themselves? When you say this tree is shrivelling how so? is this thing limp like a noodle here? Give it time that is my opinion don't mess around with it too much. No matter what type of plant or tree or whatever you have there are just a few factors that will contribute to it still growing sunlight,water most plants don't need too much of either. Most plants will adapt if something is lacking. However your talking about a studio apartment your temperature could indeed affect it. Try putting it in the coldest spot in the place. Moving it into the hallway could indeed help give it some much needed sunlight. However.... your overthinking doing that. I repotted mine I made sure i completely saturated the roots and used some good soil with fertillizer in it. After that I left it alone and watered it whenever the heck i got around to it. I guarantee if u repot it will come back during the summer. I also have another trick when u replant it use a big pot get another plant or another tree even and plant them together. That sounds crazy but don't trees and plants live together outside. Birds poop and stuff fertilizing these living things. you had asked shud I fertilize it. yes! I don't care what you did wrong. Your plant still could be alive and come back. In my opinion you over watered why else would it become limp. It is just this itty bitty baby tree not some hearty giant tree. If your tree could talk it would say omg!!! a flood is occuring!!! yes thanks for this sunlight but let loose the water and get some nutrients in here!! What difference does it make even if u make and effort to save it what do you have to lose even if it does die. What does the base of it look like? is it brown and look like the trunk of a tree? or black and done I'd wait till something I own to be done personally. Look outside your window at trees are there people tending to them? No. Trees find a way. Trees even cut off life from other living plants. Trees even expose the extraordinary properties of water. Without these properties trees wouldn't even exist. What type of water are you using? is it from your faucet? What kind of water do you have? Cud a bit of spring water help? These are very good questions perhaps you didn't consider. No matter. You did a good job asking a question. To end this answer you could have very well indeed had stuck your tree in a cold corner with little sunlight in a drainage pot in a bowl of water and the tree will drink when it wants but in no way spoil it. It is a tree. |

Refusal of Care
1Jul 10, '12 by *4!#6I am a new nurse. I want to run something by everyone to see how they feel about some difficult subject matter.
Recently I encountered a patient who is AAOx3, new admission, and doctor puts them on a fluid restriction. The patient is very confrontational and family is also involved. The patient and family are refusing the fluid restriction, and begin to argue, raise their voices, and make verbal attacks to staff.
I am wondering if my thoughts on handling this situation are correct. I would state to the patient that they have a choice in their care, and the decision to follow the doctor's recommendations is ultimately theirs alone. I would explain to them the reason for the restriction and possible consequences of not following the restriction. Then, if they still wished to refuse, I would document it in the chart and notify the MD.
Does this seem like reasonable course of action? The fact that the patient is acting like a two-year old throwing a tantrum, however this patient is not actually a two year old but a competent adult. I think that giving the patient the choice will make my life easier. On the other hand, I am worried about getting yelled at by the MD for "not educating the patient" or being in trouble if something goes wrong with the patient due to them not following doctor's recommendations.canoehead likes this. -
5Jul 10, '12 by KelRN215, BSN, RNCompetent adults have the right to make bad decisions and to not follow medical advice. All you can do is educate and document, document, document! I certainly wouldn't bring this man a pitcher of water if he's gone beyond his fluid restriction but if the family is sneaking in liters of soda or anything, what can you do?
Why is this person in the hospital if he doesn't want to heed the advice he is given though? -
0Jul 10, '12 by Sun0408Patients have the right to know the consequences of their actions. So yes, inform them of the reason for the fluid restriction etc, educate them on the effects of not following and document everything. Always let the MD know what is going on, they too can be helpful or DC the pt home if they are not wanting help. Of course this is for a competent person. I see nothing wrong with a little tough love and honesty. I us it often for my pts, not as a scare tactic but FYI. Yes, this is why we are doing this or this is why you need to do xyz to prevent abc.. Many become compliant once they have all the info. Of course I work ICU so med/surg is totally different with the frequent flyers.
I will not go against the order but if the family or pt is crafty, I can't stop them. They have a right to refuse the order, but that does not mean we have to "give" them what they want against medical advice. -
1Jul 10, '12 by MunoRNThe only Nurse I've known personally to lose her license, lost it for this very reason. She had a bed-bound patient with a 1L fluid restriction ordered for CHF, the patient was A&O and was refusing the treatment, as is their right. The patient requested water, which he was not able to obtain himself, and the Nurse refused to get him any beyond his fluid restriction citing the order and the she had to follow the order. The patient filed a formal complaint and the BON pulled her license. When she left my Hospital she was also facing potential criminal charges of abuse of a dependent adult, rumor was that those charges were eventually dropped with plea bargain.
As a result of this incident we were required to review our review our patient refusal policies and review them with staff which also included a review of our fluid restriction policies. It was surprising how little evidence there is to support PO fluid restrictions in the case of HF. In multiple studies, patients had the same amount of time on IV lasix, same morbidity/mortality, and the same length of stay with or without a fluid restriction. Plus, patients on a PO fluid restriction actually had a much higher 30-day hospital re-admission rate (likely due to the fact that diuretics and ARB's were not titrated to the patient's actual PO intake). So in the end, this Nurse lost her license defending an MD order that really doesn't serve much purpose anyway.canoehead likes this. -
0Jul 11, '12 by iluvivtYou as the nurse are legally required to honor the competent patient's decisions. A patient must be informed of the possible consequences of their decision and in some situations a patient may be asked to sign a document as a receipt of receiving the information and confirming the decision. As a nurse the MD needs to be notified of the patient's refusal and this should be carefully documented.
I have had many a nurse tell me the patient cannot refuse to have their IV placed and I tell them absolutely they can REFUSE..and have to give the nurse a little lesson in the law. I have often found that the patient is just upset,scared or anxious and when we give them some space they usually start requesting the IV or whatever they were refusing. Not always of course,but I find this often to be the case. -
0Jul 11, '12 by evansmumI am a new grad, as well, and this was interesting to read...thank you to all of the responses. Naturally, I am petrified of making any decision that places my license at risk.
As everyone has said above, my first instinct is to do exactly what you said, OP. Educate, educate, educate...document, document, document. Call MD. CYOA. -
1Jul 11, '12 by elkparkA competent adult has the right to refuse any offered treatment; as already noted, the appropriate nursing response is to make the physician aware and document, document, document. It is also the right of the facility to administratively discharge someone who is refusing the offered treatment (since it is a healthcare facility, not a hotel -- you are there to receive treatment, not just take up space and get waited on).KelRN215 likes this.

Ok…first of all, before buying this game last friday and painting everything that was in dull grey plastinc in the box, I already had played 2 games as Investigator and 1 as Keeper. This game was striking me as a "You have to play with the right people to enjoy it the most" game.
Simply put, tonight I play with my bro as Keeper and me as the Investigators. I decided to play with 2 characters, Joe Diamond and Harvey Walters.
I remember having issues with someone when I last played as Keeper and that just killed the fun of MoM for me. But last firday, while I was at my FLGS, I decided to buy it and enjoy it with gamers I know won't argue and just enjoy a good game.
Well, let me tell you that tonight was simply awesome (first scenario, Objective 1B selected from the Keeper). Great game, fluid, fun, frightening, amazing. We had so much fun and if it wasn't for the 2 of us owrking tomorrow, we would have played the second scenario. Add painted minis to all that and you're sure to have an amazing formula.
Even though it was already posted many time, I just wanted to share an amazing evening plkaying an amazing and immersive game. Please keep sending love to MoM (pun intended?!??!), it deserve it a lot more than many other games. I know you had issues with the 1st printing and Forbidden Alchemy and why don't you learn from that and keep on releasing good expansions and POD so that we can still show you our support in this outstanding board game.
Peace, love and good night!
